Chapter 277: Final Battle (I)
"One hundred thousand!"
"Three hundred thousand!"
"Five hundred and fifty thousand!"
…………
The auction was already halfway through, and the bidding among the bases that had not yet won the Evolutionary Power Potion became increasingly fierce, with the two of them unwilling to give up.
In the same box and position as yesterday, Shuxin looked at the various small and medium-sized bases competing for the bid, frowning slightly, feeling that something was not right.
Shu Xin: "Are they a little too excited?"
Hearing this, the others in the box turned their attention downwards, took a closer look, and frowned at the same time.
"No way?! Did they really tamper with the food they distributed?" Pi Xiangwen's expression was indescribable.
Yan Mo's sharp eyes scanned the room and he pointed at the water on the table: "Yuan Zhou, take a look at this pot of water."
Bu Yuanzhou, the only professional present, took the water from the table and put it under his nose to smell it. He then reached out and took a drop and put it in his mouth to taste it. His expression was shocked and he said, "There is a drug in the water that can make people excited!"
After the end of the world, the amount of drinking water available is becoming less and less. Apart from the few remaining water sources that are protected, most of the water is supplied by water-related mutants. Everyone cherishes water and will not waste it easily.
The people at the D City base put drugs in the water because they took advantage of people's mentality that they would never waste water. Most of the water on the tables in the base had been touched, and the rest of the water was collected without being drunk.
"The person behind this is investing so much money and wants to keep all of us here." Shu Xin keenly perceived the hidden meaning.
"We're going to drug them now. I think we'll start after the auction is over. Everyone, check your equipment." Yan Mo turned to Shu Xin and said, "Xin Bao, take out some weapons with high lethality from the space and equip everyone. Also, prepare some special weapons so that they can be taken out quickly when necessary."
"Xiang Wen, go over and remind Xiao Lou, Jiang Mao and the others to eat something before checking their equipment so that they can stay in the best condition."
After Yan Mo finished speaking, the people in the box moved at the same time, quietly and orderly.
The auction downstairs was still going on in full swing. As the drugs were sold one by one, the remaining bases that had not bid on any of them were trying their best to get one, and the time spent on the field was getting longer and longer.
The longer the auction is delayed, the better and worse it is for Shuxin and the others.
The good thing is that they have more time to prepare.
The bad thing is that those who are taking Chinese medicine here may find that all the medicinal properties in their bodies will be released by the end of the auction.
They have no idea what the specific effects of the drugs the other party has put in the water are, and it would not be a good thing for them if the situation becomes too chaotic.
When the man in a suit who introduced the drug yesterday stood on the stage again, the three-hour auction finally came to an end.
"This auction has come to an end. To thank everyone for their support and trust, our boss has specially prepared a 'special' thank you gift for everyone. Next, please enjoy our carefully prepared thank you ceremony!"
The man in the suit stopped talking at the most suspenseful part, lowered his head and looked at the excited people below, with an ambiguous smile on his lips.
“Bang!”
The originally closed door of the venue was slammed open.
The next second, the deafening roar of zombies was heard. The voice of the man in a suit sounded like a summons from hell: "Welcome to the Zombie Paradise!"
As he finished speaking, the zombies outside the door rushed into the hall frantically as if they had received an order.
Those present were all the best from their respective bases. Even if they were drugged, their bodies' reactions were faster than their brains. They wanted to gather superpowers in their hands to resist, but they found that they could not release the superpowers they were proficient in using no matter what.
Only a few people who have not drunk the tea on the table today and the very few people who have drunk it can release their special abilities.
The zombies don't give the food time to react. In just a few seconds, the zombie in front has already rushed in front of the eyes. Before it can react, the first unlucky one can't even let out half of his scream before he's dead.
That half scream was like cold water dropped into boiling oil, which instantly surged up. The quick-reacting psychic took out his weapon and fought with the zombies. The potential released by his strong desire to survive was enough to stop the zombies, whose number could not be determined.
As soon as the auction stopped, Shu Xin and the others quickly left the box and gathered with the people from Xiao Lou and Jiang Mao's two bases.
People from other bases upstairs also noticed something was wrong and rushed out of the private room to see what was going on.
The auction venue was equipped with materials that were resistant to psychic detection, so they didn't know what the situation was outside and didn't rush in.
"Oh my god! Where did all these zombies come from?! There were none yesterday!"
Seeing the shocking number of zombies downstairs, Xiangwen couldn't hide his shock in his tone.
If such a staggering number of zombies had appeared in the vicinity a few days ago, someone would have surely noticed something.
But no, until they entered the auction house this morning, they had not found any trace of zombies in the city.
Everything seems so strange that one can't help but feel creepy.
The current situation did not allow them to think too much. The most important thing was how to leave alive.
"The people downstairs can't hold on for much longer. Let's go! Let's go to the rooftop!" Yan Mo quickly retrieved the layout of the auction venue that he had seen before, and led his people back.
The people from the three bases said nothing, turned around and followed Yan Mo, and everyone felt extremely heavy.
They are not naive. Just from the number of zombies exposed now, it is not difficult to see that the entire city D has been completely destroyed. Except for this place in the entire base, there are no other living people.
There is a 99 percent chance that their end will be death.
but,
Even if there is only a one percent chance of survival, they will try their best to fight for that slight chance!
