Chapter 11 Crisis
She evasively lay down on the bed sheet, turned her back and closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.
Xiao Chen chuckled, lay down along Lin Luo's position, reached out and pulled her into his arms.
Lin Luo's body stiffened. He struggled a bit but couldn't get free, so he pinched him. The man didn't react. Lin Luo closed his eyes resignedly and let him go.
The night passed without incident.
In the morning, Lin Luo took out the gas stove and gas range from the space and cooked a pot of fragrant noodles with rich ingredients. The smell would make people drool.
A few people were busy eating breakfast when there was a knock on the door. Xiao Chen took a look at what was in front of him, walked out, and closed the door.
Liu Xing and his companions smelled the delicious aroma wafting from inside and swallowed their saliva. They couldn't even eat enough, yet the people inside were enjoying delicious hot food. Some of them had a flicker of envy in their eyes, while others were filled with greed and jealousy. Everyone had different thoughts.
Many thoughts flashed through their minds, but this also proved that this group of people was indeed very powerful. They wondered if they were willing to take them with them. It would be safe and secure for them to stay with them, and they could probably give them some food.
Not long after, when Xiao Chen came out, Liu Xing immediately greeted him flatteringly: "Sorry to bother you."
"I just want to ask what your plans are for the future. We would like to follow you. What do you think?"
Xiao Chen swept his cold gaze over these people. Chen Jiao shrank behind others, afraid of being noticed by this scary man.
"It's inconvenient." After saying that, he went back and took Luo Junze out.
Luo Junze came out helplessly and played Tai Chi with this person, explaining where the official government base was and where there were civilian bases nearby, and told them to go there on their own.
Although they were not on a mission, their satellite phones were still working and they could receive messages from the base.
Seeing that the other party had no intention of taking them with them, Liu Xing and his companions had no choice but to give up and make other plans.
After everyone finished breakfast, they planned the route and set off. If nothing goes wrong, they will arrive in H City in the afternoon.
They passed several large gas stations along the way. After everyone had cleared out the zombies, Lin Luo was collecting gasoline. Although she had a lot in her space, no one would think it was too much, and gasoline would only become more and more scarce in the future.
Fortunately, he encountered a tanker truck full of gasoline at several gas stations. Lin Luo put the tanker truck and the gasoline into the space.
When Xiao Chen saw that the gasoline had been almost collected, he asked everyone to search for the crystal cores in the zombies' heads, indicating that it would be useful and he would explain it later.
After searching for a while, I dug out more than a dozen crystal cores. So far, I haven't encountered any zombies with attributes. Everyone can absorb transparent crystal cores, but the energy contained in them is not as pure as crystal cores with attributes.
The higher the zombie's level, the purer the crystal core energy, and the easier it is to upgrade its level after being absorbed by a mutant with the same attributes.
After training these days, Xiao Chen's dual superpowers have reached the peak of level three, Luo Junze's fire power has reached level 0, and the others are all at the peak of level one.
We successfully entered the H city area in the afternoon and drove all the way to the suburbs. The munitions were stored underground in a food factory. Before the apocalypse, the government deliberately chose such a place to conceal its activities.
After arriving at the place, Xiao Chen used his psychic powers to detect the food factory bit by bit. To find the arms, he could only enter from inside the food factory. The location was very secretive. Fortunately, the old man had described it to him in detail, so it was not difficult to find.
The situation is a bit tricky. There are not many zombies inside, but Xiao Chen's spiritual thread senses danger. There is a troublesome thing inside. I don't know what it is. Xiao Chen has detected it but found nothing.
"Lolo, follow me closely when you get in. Don't run around, okay?" Xiao Chen said, kissing Lin Luo's forehead. Even though it was dangerous inside, he was more worried about leaving her outside. He felt more at ease when she was by his side.
Lin Luo responded softly, and obediently let him hold her hand and lead her out of the car. After everyone was ready, he put the two cars into the space.
Then everyone walked cautiously towards the factory gate. The big iron gate was locked from the inside. Sun Xiang threw out a vine and wrapped it around the wall. He used the vine to climb over the wall and carefully observed the surroundings. No zombies were found, only the guard room had movement. Sun Xiang landed lightly and slowly walked towards the guard room. He found that there was only one zombie trapped in the guard room. It was probably the guard who was on duty before the end of the world. Seeing that it couldn't get out for the time being, Sun Xiang didn't care and ran to the iron gate to unlock it and let everyone in.
After everyone came in, they found that the factory was very large and there were several large warehouses. Xiao Chen led everyone to an inconspicuous warehouse on the far right.
The warehouse was full of various canned meats that had been processed before the apocalypse. Boxes of them filled the entire warehouse. The ground was covered with black bloodstains, but no corpses were seen. Xiao Chen protected Lin Luo and walked slowly into the warehouse. Lin Luo looked around nervously, afraid that a zombie would suddenly appear.
Everyone noticed that something was wrong here. It was too quiet, and the absence of anything made it seem even more terrifying.
Xiao Chen gently reminded everyone: "It's very dangerous here, everyone be alert!"
Suddenly, a burst of fire attacked everyone. Luo Yueyue quickly condensed into a water wall to block everyone, but her level was lower than the zombies, and she couldn't hold on for long before her superpowers were exhausted. Seeing this, Luo Junze protected his sister behind him and threw a fireball at the zombie, but the zombie dodged it.
Only then did everyone see clearly that this was a middle-aged man in a suit. It was not difficult to tell that he was a leader. Although his face was dark blue, he looked quite tidy. There was not a single zombie in this warehouse. It should be his masterpiece. Perhaps they were all absorbed by him, so the apocalypse had been upgraded to level three in just a few days.
While the zombie hadn't reacted yet, everyone used all kinds of superpowers on it without hesitation. However, except for Xiao Chen's superpowers which were useful to the zombie, the others could only cause minor skin injuries to it, which could be said to be useless.
Soon, several people were injured, but Lin Luo was the only one who was protected tightly by Xiao Chen behind him and was not hurt at all.
Xiao Chen made a quick decision, asking everyone to find shelter while he stayed behind to deal with the zombies. This allowed him to unleash his full potential without worrying about anything. He tightened his grip on Lin Luo's hand, then let go and pushed her toward his teammates, signaling them to protect her.
Although Lin Luo was very worried about Xiao Chen, she also knew that now was not the time to be pretentious and that she would only be a burden if she stayed. She whispered "be careful" and then followed the others to find shelter and hide.
