It was freezing cold outside, and the gasoline in the RV was only a quarter left after the long journey over the past few days. The electricity was also consumed quickly because the heating was always on. Jiang Yanxin had no choice but to materialize Zeus and fully charge the RV.
However, the noise made by Chen Wan and the others obviously attracted the zombies in the basement, and some rustling sounds were approaching the RV.
Chen Wan used his supernatural powers to control fifty zombies, letting these fifty zombies fight with the rest of the zombies that were not controlled by him.
With the dim light in the RV, the zombies tore each other apart in the dark. Especially the zombies controlled by Chen Wan, which were obviously more powerful than ordinary zombies. There were already a lot of zombie body parts piled up around the RV. There were also many zombies that escaped the net and rushed towards the RV. They were all blocked by Chen Wan and Yiyi with mechanical arms and thrown out. In about half an hour, more than 300 level 2 zombies in the basement were cleared out by Chen Wan and his friends.
Chen Wan was afraid of the unpleasant smell and that these things might breed disease, so she used a robotic arm to transport all the corpses to the other side of the basement before driving the RV back to where they had just parked.
After doing all this, Chen Wan returned to the room to take a shower and prepare to change into thicker clothes. She still had the fishy smell of catfish on her body. Although it was much lighter than yesterday, she could still smell it when she stood close to Chen Wan. Chen Wan prepared to remove the smell from himself, otherwise he would not be able to hug his wife and baby.
When she finished her bath and came out, the fishy smell had faded a bit, at least it didn't smell stinky anymore. When Chen Wan went out, the little guy was playing in Jiang Yanxin's arms. Chen Wan clapped his hands and asked the little guy, "Baby, do you want to come and play with me for a while?"
The baby covered his nose with his little hands and said something to reject Chen Wan: "Mommy stinks~"
"Baby, I really don't stink anymore. If you don't believe me, come over and smell it yourself." Chen Wan said as she moved closer. The baby frowned and took a breath doubtfully. After making sure that mommy was telling the truth, he moved closer and stretched out his little hands for a hug.
Chen Wan held the baby in his arms, patted his little bottom and teased him with a smile: "You little rascal, you've even learned to dislike your mommy. Tell me yourself, are you a bad boy?"
"Naughty." The baby laughed and rubbed against Chen Wan and acted coquettishly.
Since the baby didn't play with his mommy yesterday, he was especially clinging to Chen Wan today. Seeing that they were all safe, Ye Lan and Jiang Zhaoyuan felt relieved and prepared to cook a good meal today. They were also very panicked when they were floating on the water before, and they were afraid of affecting the children, so they did not do anything.
I didn't say anything, nor did I show how scared I was. Now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
After Chen Wan finished his meal, he thought about clearing out the zombies in the building with everyone, and by the way, he wanted to go to a higher floor to see what the situation was outside. The entrance to the basement where they came in before was now blocked from the outside by accumulated snow. Chen Wan estimated that the snow must be very thick.
"Let's go clean up the rest of the zombies in the building and check the situation outside." Chen Wan said to Qin Ke and the others.
"Okay, then Auntie and Uncle will stay to take care of Yangyang, and Huahua will protect Yangyang and the others. Let's go together." Qin Ke continued.
Chen Wan nodded and took out some guns, machetes and other things. She and Jiang Yanxin each took a pistol for self-defense. Shen Mingyan and Yiyi directly took machetes and did not choose pistols. Jiang Wanning took a pistol and some bullets and followed Yiyi. In addition to the two pistols, Qin Ke also carried a light machine gun and a lot of ammunition. After everyone was ready, they took the flashlight and batteries they found from the supermarket before and got out of the RV with the flashlight.
Chen Wan lowered steel plates around the RV, which made it less conspicuous and easier to protect the safety of the people inside. And with Huahua and the others around, Chen Wan didn't worry about the safety of Zizi and the others.
Chen Wan and the other six walked into the supermarket from the nearby entrance. The light from the flashlight was very weak. Apart from the dim light from the flashlight, the supermarket was pitch black and only the sound of a few people's footsteps could be heard.
Chen Wan swept the area with a flashlight and discovered that most of the items in the supermarket had been moved away. The remaining items were basically some unimportant daily necessities. Things like food and water had all been taken away, but this didn't matter. Chen Wan and the others still had plenty of food stored, and even if they couldn't go out, it would be enough for them to eat for half a year or a year.
Soon, the arrival of Chen Wan and the others alarmed the zombies inside. However, there were not many zombies in the supermarket. Qin Ke solved the scattered zombies with just his gun. However, the gunshots echoed in the empty shopping mall, making quite a noise.
A moment later, a crackling sound of electricity was heard in the supermarket. Chen Wan and the others became alert and cautious. The lights in the supermarket lit up with a few "clicks" after making a few crackling sounds. The incandescent lamps suddenly lit up, dazzling Chen Wan and the others so much that they couldn't open their eyes. It took them a few seconds to adapt to the current light.
"Be careful, there are people nearby." Yiyi carefully reminded everyone behind Chen Wan.
"Okay, everyone, please be alert." Chen Wan responded.
Logically speaking, the city's power supply would have been cut off long ago under such circumstances, but large shopping malls like this one have their own generators. Chen Wan thought that someone must have deliberately wanted to cause panic among them.
Beijing is such a big city that there must be a lot of people fleeing here, so it is not surprising to see people in large supermarkets. Chen Wan and the others were a little cautious, but they didn't care too much. They prepared to take the elevator to the first floor to see what the situation was outside.
At the same time, inside an iron door of the supermarket warehouse, several people were talking in low voices.
"Why didn't the women outside react when they suddenly turned on the lights?"
"I don't know, but did you see that there's a woman with a gun on her back? Could she be sent by the military to rescue us?"
"It doesn't seem like it. Military personnel are generally more likely to be male alphas. There are only two alphas among them, and they are both female. They shouldn't be military personnel."
"Could it be bad guys? Should we go out and arrest them?"
"How can we catch her? That woman has a gun in her hand."
"What are you afraid of? Qi Jing is a person with special abilities. She is not afraid of those people outside."
Several people ran back while talking and came to the door of a hidden warehouse inside the supermarket. After knocking on the door, someone opened the door from the inside and let the three people in.
After the three of them entered, their eyes were fixed on a pale woman in the corner. One of them, a tall, crew-cut man, spoke first to the people in the warehouse, "Six more people came out of nowhere. They're all women, two of them alphas. One of them even has a gun on her back. I don't know how strong they are. Should we go out and arrest them?"
A middle-aged man in his fifties wearing glasses said, "He's carrying a gun and he's not from the military, so he's definitely not a good person. Qi Jing, you're a superpower. You're so powerful, you have to protect us ordinary people."
"That's right, my precious grandson is only five years old, and I don't want anything to happen to him." A curly-haired woman in her sixties, holding a little boy, echoed.
Gradually, more and more people echoed the voices in the warehouse. The man with the buzz cut looked at Qi Jing and said, "What do you think? Should we take a few people out to capture those people and interrogate them?"
Qi Jing looked at the man and shook her head calmly: "My strength hasn't recovered yet, and they haven't taken the initiative to attack us. There's no need for us to go out and cause trouble."
"How can this be called causing trouble? You are a superpower, protecting us.
It's only natural for ordinary people, but who knows what kind of people are out there." A quiet-looking man with glasses complained to Qi Jing.
"That's right, if you don't want to go, just say it. You must think that ordinary people like us are a burden, right?" The curly-haired aunt also started to speak in a sarcastic tone, having long forgotten that if it weren't for Qi Jing, they would not be able to stay safely in this warehouse.
"I've said before, I don't have the strength now and I don't want to cause trouble. If any of you want to go, go by yourselves." After saying that, Qi Jing leaned there and continued to rest.
A man with dyed red hair said to the man with a crew cut with a sly look, "Brother, if she doesn't want to go, why don't we get some more people to go? Those women are so beautiful, even the alphas are so good-looking. It would be a shame not to bring them back for a proper interrogation."
The man with a crew cut smacked his lips and thought so. These people in their warehouse came in together and they were in the same boat. They wanted to attack the Omegas in the warehouse, but they were a little embarrassed at the moment. Besides, the most beautiful Omega in the warehouse was Qi Jing, but she was a mutant and they couldn't afford to offend her, so they set their sights on Chen Wan and the others outside.
The crew cut thought for a moment, smiled, and glanced at the alphas in the warehouse. "Okay, Qi Jing isn't feeling well, and we can't rely on them for everything. We have to work hard to provide for ourselves. Are there any alphas who want to go out and practice with us? The Omegas and Betas among those women are all very beautiful. We can't touch our own people in the warehouse, but we have to find a room to interrogate the people outside. Is there anyone who wants to go with us brothers?"
The guy with the crew cut had said this very bluntly, and the Omegas in the warehouse fell silent for a moment, fearing that they would become innocent victims. Although the security in Beijing had been better than other chaotic places since the end of the world, it was the end of the world after all, and they didn't want to suffer along with them.
The man with the crew cut, the red-haired man, and the bald man looked at the people in the warehouse with a smile. At first, everyone was a little embarrassed, because after all, Beijing was not like other places. All the written laws were lost, and there were people burning, killing, and looting. Here, the military had better control, and it was the capital, so people had not let go of their basic sense of shame. But when a heavy snow came, no one knew how long this surface civilization could last, or whether it would collapse in the next moment, just like the current situation.
At this moment, under the strong encouragement of the three crew cuts, five male alphas couldn't resist the temptation and stood up together.
