Chapter 102 Apocalyptic Fall, Zombie Siege 13
Luo Shu came out after changing her clothes, wearing a new pair of retro silver-rimmed sunglasses with delicate silver chains hanging down, making her look very elegant and noble.
Zhao Qingshu handed over the cane at the right moment. Luo Shu grasped the gem at the top. Her ten fingers were slender and delicate, but no one knew that her hand held a world-destroying power.
The two left the clothing store one after the other, drawing astonished glances from the people waiting around the store.
It has to be said that they are still so particular in the apocalypse, even more so than their boss.
This was the first thought of the henchmen around him.
Then came Luo Shu's stunning beauty. The black dress was elegantly tailored, perfectly highlighting Luo Shu's shapely figure. Her arms were slender, her collarbones delicate, and the expanse of snow-white skin revealed on her chest was enough to make anyone's nose bleed.
Although the sunglasses on her face concealed most of her features, one could absolutely tell that she was very beautiful. Holding a cane, she exuded an air of authority that made one willingly bow down at her feet.
The two leisurely returned to the car. When the crystal scorpion on the roof saw them return, it flicked its tail, and a flash of cold blue light disappeared. The dodder plant bloomed a cluster of small flowers to welcome the return of its beautiful king.
The car slowly started and headed out of town. Dude also drove, openly following behind Luo Shu and the others, giving off an air of "wherever you go, I'll follow."
Luo Shu and the others ignored him, sensing the presence of mutated plants and animals and advanced zombies in the area, and drove in that direction.
This magnificent base was originally a province with a huge population before the apocalypse. With the arrival of the apocalypse, the number of zombies was also very large, and mutated plants and animals needed to be hunted. These people and zombies with energy were their prey, so there were quite a few mutated plants and animals lurking around. Zhao Qingshu and Luo Shu, who were below level four, didn't care, but those above level four could be hunted by scorpions and dodder.
Those of the fifth rank and above were Zhao Qingshu's food, while the high-ranking sixth rank was Luo Shu's main target. There happened to be a high-ranking sixth rank mutated animal in this area, and that was Luo Shu's main goal in coming here.
With this crystal core, she should be able to reach the eighth rank without any surprises. Luo Shu and Zhao Qingshu traveled from Shenzhen to the Brilliant Base, which took them almost half a year in bits and pieces. Most of their time was spent on the road. For example, they only stayed in Kuning Town, which they passed through before, for two days. After the apocalypse, without navigation, they really took many detours.
Even if they sense the mutated creature, driving in that direction might lead to a river blocking their path. Luo Shu and her group could easily cross the river, but what about the car? If the car was left behind, finding another vehicle deep in the mountains would be much slower.
Therefore, their overall progress is not fast.
At the Peace Base, Xiang Xingchen successfully advanced to the fifth rank. While most other ability users were still at the third rank and a few at the fourth, he had already reached the fifth rank.
It has to be said that this made Xiang Xingchen extremely confident. He hugged the woman he loved most and talked about his vision for the future. Huang Ling leaned against the man's strong chest, listening to his plans for their future, and a smile appeared on her lips and her eyes were full of joy.
This life is definitely different from the last one.
The only thing that bothered her was the high-level zombies that suddenly appeared in those two messages; for some reason, they made her feel uneasy.
As Luo Shu and Zhao Qingshu headed towards the sixth-order mutant, Du De followed them. Looking at the direction they were heading, he became increasingly surprised. Wasn't this the direction where their Brilliant Base often went on missions?
The tasks at the Glorious Base are divided into several types, and they are mostly issued to people with superpowers. The first is to clean up the surrounding mutated plants and animals and zombies, the second is to patrol the base, and the third is some personal tasks.
The first mission offered high rewards but also carried great risks, yet people with superpowers still flocked to take it on; living a good life in the apocalypse was no easy feat.
The second task is usually the first choice for those with less outstanding superpowers, as the salary is barely enough to make ends meet.
The third task is a private one, involving a private transaction between the two parties, which is quite secretive and not widely known outside the community.
Dud had also come here to clear out zombies before, and knew that this place wasn't easy to navigate. There were quite a few people from the Brilliant Base here, with four squads currently clearing out zombies.
Four small teams, each with twenty or thirty people, totaling more than a hundred people, are scattered throughout this ruin. This place used to be a school, but after the apocalypse, almost none of the children escaped; they all turned into zombies.
So the zombies here aren't powerful, but they really test people's mental fortitude—whether they can wield a knife against those once innocent and adorable children.
Next to the elementary school is a park with a lot of mutated plants, and they are of a high level. A year and a half has passed, and the Glorious Base has only cleared out this area of the school. They don't dare to go to the park to seek death.
The original lovely drawings can still be seen on the school wall. Although they have become somewhat blurred due to the erosion of wind and rain, the teams look after each other without disturbing one another, and are all quietly doing their own things.
Then they saw the SUV. It was so shiny and eye-catching. The car drove to the innermost part of the school, and further ahead was the back gate of the school, which connected to the corner gate of the park, allowing direct access to the park.
The closed iron gate had long been pushed open by the mutated plants, and the menacing plants filled the entire iron frame.
When Luo Shu and Zhao Qingshu got out of the car, everyone around them gasped. The man was fine; there were plenty of people wearing windbreakers, and while there were fewer people wearing sunglasses, there were still some. But what was this woman wearing?
A skirt! She's practically asking to die! While she looks really pretty in it, is it appropriate in a post-apocalyptic world?
One of the groups was all women. The woman in the lead, who had short hair, twitched her eye. One of the women looked like she wanted to say something, but was nudged by another woman and shut up to do something else.
Although no one spoke to Luo Shu and Zhao Qingshu, almost everyone was secretly watching them.
A crystal scorpion crawled down from the roof of the car. It was a huge ball, and you could faintly hear gasps around it. Its size was enormous, and its stinger was thick. It was obviously a mutated animal! I didn't expect these two to have this ability. No wonder they dared to come here dressed like this. They are indeed highly skilled and daring.
In their glorious base, there was also a man who did quite well thanks to his mutated dog, but that mutated dog was clearly inferior to the scorpion in front of him, and the scorpion followed behind him with great obedience, having been trained extremely well.
A string of green leaves was wrapped around the scorpion's body. No one noticed and assumed that it had accidentally gotten tangled on its head. Little did they know that it was a dodder plant that was almost at the fifth level.
One scorpion and one vine worked together to hunt, while Luo Shu and Zhao Qingshu headed towards the park.
Now no one was in the mood to continue working. They all openly watched the two men, eager to see how the mutated plants would kill them.
Clearly, no one believed they could escape unscathed from an attack by so many mutated plants.
