Chapter 05 Civilized Sinner 5

Yuan Qing looked down from the watchtower and saw endless and dense zombies rushing towards the base like a tide. These zombies gathered together in an instant, and the explorers at the base could not find any trace of the zombies at first.

The base is actually not that big. It is surrounded by some large buildings that were relatively intact before the apocalypse, and the outer perimeter is surrounded by a special material that resists zombies after the apocalypse. Having experienced countless small zombie tides and reinforced countless times, the base is known as the Iron Fortress in the southeast region.

However, the base today, facing the huge tide of zombies, is like a small boat in a flash flood, fragile yet resilient.

Yuan Qing had been preparing for this zombie tide that seemed destined to happen, but endless waves of powerful zombies that had undergone several mutations attacked him. The ammunition and firepower he had deployed were consumed very quickly, but the besieging zombies seemed endless and could never be defeated.

The defensive lines of the four guards were quickly breached, and countless zombies poured into the city, filling the streets, entering churches, farmlands, average houses, and logistics centers. Fires were lit everywhere in the city.

The blood of zombies and those who had not yet become zombies mixed together, leaving corpses everywhere and blood flowing like a river.

"Convoy! Convoy! Evacuate quickly!" The retreat had been arranged long ago. Ye Tongchun, who was in charge of this matter, gave orders in the rain at the top of his voice. Truck after truck crashed through the zombies, carrying most of the ordinary people and a few people with special powers into the dark night and into the unknown ahead.

Yuan Qing has been fighting for who knows how long, the night is long, and his enemies are endless and tireless.

"Captain!" Ye Tongchun was no longer as elegant as he was during the day. His combat uniform was tattered and his face and body looked like they were covered with oil paint, and there was dirt and blood everywhere.

Yuan Qing, who was so crazy about killing, didn't pay attention for a moment and almost chopped him to pieces, thinking he was a zombie. Fortunately, he stopped himself at the last moment.

Ye Tongchun grabbed Yuan Qing's hand and urged anxiously, "Most of the people who are still alive have already left. Captain, you should also retreat quickly."

"Where's Yan Huai?" The exhausted Yuan Qing leaned on him and barely stood up, his eyes starting to search around again, "Where did that brat go? Did you see him leave?"

"Yan Huai?" Ye Tongchun was stunned. "I had already arranged for him to leave? Didn't he leave?"

"I'll go find him!" He said, shaking off Ye Tongchun's hand and rushing into the zombie group with a gun in hand.

Many ordinary people had already been arranged to be relocated, but due to time constraints, many people were still left behind.

Yuan Qing hunted scattered small zombies on the streets, rescuing survivors, while looking for Yan Huai's whereabouts.

He ran around like this for the whole night and was exhausted, but he didn't find Yan Huai. His supernatural power was on the verge of exhaustion due to excessive use. There was almost no one left in the city, and the zombies were scattered in groups of three or two. This base would become a completely dead city by dawn.

After shooting down another zombie, he finally ran out of energy and fell to the ground with a thud. He closed his eyes, and the rain that never stopped hit his body and face mercilessly.

He closed his eyes, as if he was about to fall asleep, but he suddenly thought of someone.

Yan Nan!

When he thought of him, Yuan Qing, who was almost on the verge of death, suddenly opened his eyes. Because the rain flowed into his eyes, his eyes were red at this moment.

His chest began to heave violently, and then he struggled to straighten his body and climbed up from the ground.

How could he just fall here? How could we let him go!

The mastermind behind all this tragedy. Even if he dies, he will drag Yan Nan to hell with him!

He wants to kill Yan Nan!!

He must kill Yan Nan!!!

————————

[Is this the best time to escape that you mentioned?] Yan Nan asked.

[Well, this is the most appropriate time. Yuan Qing will not give you a chance to escape at other times.]

[The whole city is under siege by zombies, and everyone is desperately defending and fighting against the zombies. Are you asking me to escape in the chaos? ]

[This is not because of you. This zombie wave is written in the script and is bound to happen. We are just taking advantage of this opportunity... Don't waste time dwelling on it.]

The system urged him again and again, but Yan Nan still did not move. He tilted his head slightly and listened. Although he was underground, he seemed to be able to hear the wailing and the sound of gunfire coming from above. Through these sounds, he pictured a bloody and tragic firefight scene in his mind.

In the end, he said nothing and slowly stood up. The cell had collapsed in the previous explosion, but there was still a complete open space around him.

If they wanted to leave now, digging alone would not work. But Yan Nan had been prepared. The system had already been connected to the network above. Yan Nan did not need to do anything. A channel that existed when the research institute was established was opened by the system.

The passage was long and winding, and when he saw the light of day again, Yan Nan found that he didn't know where in the base he was.

It was already late, but the sky was not very dark. A huge moon appeared in front of him. The moon was so big and bright, illuminating the earth and the surrounding buildings. There seemed to be a faint smell of blood in the wind.

It was still raining and the road was wet. When Yan Nan stepped on it and pulled it out, he could feel the soil trying to hold on. The rain was getting heavier and Yan Nan's injured right arm was almost numb, but he didn't care about anything else. Following the system's guidance, he rushed to the laboratory in the rain.

The journey was unusually quiet, with only corpses with their eyes open on the roadside and zombies wandering around appearing from time to time. Yan Nan carefully and quickly avoided these.

By the time he arrived at his destination, the original laboratory had become a ruin, as if it had been blown up from the inside.

He was only surprised for a moment, and then he went to the place where the data was stored in his memory. Fortunately, this place didn't seem to be too close to the explosion center, and the room was relatively intact. He carefully packed all the important data and put it into a waterproof bag. At this time, the system suddenly issued an alarm -

[If an important person is detected approaching, please leave as soon as possible to avoid direct conflict and pay attention to your own safety. 】

[Yan Nan! Run! ]
