Chapter 344 They are very afraid of me
On the opposite bank, a group of people could be vaguely seen.
There are roughly twenty people.
Almost all of them were fully armed, middle-aged men.
They were all wearing helmets and carrying weapons, cautiously approaching the Dongyi town.
"How come there are so few people?" Rabbit frowned. "Didn't you say there were many survivors over there?"
Yun Zhao walked over and looked towards the opposite bank, but unfortunately, her eyesight was not good enough to see clearly; she could only vaguely make out two heads peeking out.
"They are the advance team. We need to make sure everything is okay before we dare to let everyone leave the island."
Fire Phoenix had cleared away all the zombies along the way in order to lure them out.
The group of people were getting closer and closer.
Yun Zhao saw it too.
She beckoned Rabbit and Qi Ling outside, "Let's go, let's go take a look at the suspension bridge."
The three of them left the hotel and walked around the street to the suspension bridge.
The suspension bridge was built on the east side, directly in the direction that group of people came from.
Yun Zhao stood on the bridge pier and saw a group of people getting closer and closer. "Lower the drawbridge and let them in."
"Okay." Qi Ling turned around, squatted down, used a key to open the iron box inside the bridge pier, pressed the hydraulic device, and the simple suspension bridge began to slowly descend.
The bridge is not aesthetically pleasing.
It was covered in welded 'patches' and made of pieces of material pieced together from various places, making it look like it would fall apart if shaken.
The group of people had naturally seen the three of them long ago. When they saw the suspension bridge suddenly drop, they stood there dumbfounded.
The apocalypse occurred one month ago.
The people at this safe base were completely unsuspecting; they didn't even ask where they came from before they easily lowered the drawbridge.
Aren't you afraid of letting a wolf into your house?
"How did these 'naive and innocent' people manage to survive until now?" someone whispered.
Sentinels have excellent hearing.
The rabbit overheard those words and turned to ask Qi Ling, "Do we look like naive and innocent girls?"
She felt that these mutants all had something wrong with their brains.
Every time I first see her, I'm like I'm blind; I can't see the sniper rifle she's holding.
"No, it's just that their eyesight is bad," Qi Ling said, echoing the rabbit's words.
Yun Zhao looked at the people on the opposite bank and said calmly, "Aren't you coming over?"
The people on the other side looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and finally stepped onto the suspension bridge.
Their purpose in coming out was to find out the authenticity of the safe base and what exactly was happening in the city.
This small team of twenty people were the unlucky ones who were drawn by lot to be the first to leave the island.
Supplies on Peach Blossom Island were scarce, and the survivors had long since scattered, forming small groups to divide the resources among themselves.
As food supplies dwindled, the conflicts between the various groups intensified.
But at that moment, a strange sight appeared on the beach across the river.
On the beach, raging fires would inexplicably ignite every day, and wave after wave of zombies would fall down for no apparent reason.
Until yesterday, not a single monster could be seen from the opposite bank.
The thought of the leaflets that had appeared on the island rekindled hope in everyone's hearts.
People are speculating whether the rescue has arrived.
But no one wanted to be the first to stick their neck out and risk returning to the city.
Finally, with no other option, the groups sat down together and calmly discussed the matter, deciding that everyone should participate in a lottery.
Those selected will act as the vanguard, entering the city to assess the situation and confirm the existence of the safe base mentioned on the leaflet.
These twenty people were selected, and despite their reluctance, they had no choice but to accept their fate and sail their yacht back to the city beach.
The zombies are evolving.
Ordinary people facing mutated zombies have a near-certain chance of survival.
Upon entering the city, everyone was on high alert.
To everyone's surprise, after coming ashore and walking here, we haven't encountered a single zombie.
Once everyone had landed on the island, Qi Ling pressed a button to retract the suspension bridge and led them towards the hotel. "Let's go check in first."
Twenty people followed, looking dazed.
The group walked along the quaint streets of the town. The cobblestone path under their feet had been cleaned, but if they looked closely, they could still clearly see traces of blood in the cracks between the stones.
People passed by from time to time.
People were already used to seeing survivors landing on the island; they would glance at them at most and then continue with their own business.
Yun Zhao and his two companions walked ahead, leading them to the front desk of the hotel next door to register.
"Please fill in your identity information."
Qi Ling, with practiced ease, placed the registration book and pen aside. "Name, home address, previous employer, all of these need to be filled in. Also, does any of you know how to operate a large ship?"
The group shook their heads. "Large ships and yachts are different; we don't know how to do that."
Qi Ling was somewhat disappointed, but quickly cheered up and continued to ask, "Besides you, how many other people are there on Peach Blossom Island?"
A group of people looked horrified. "How did you know?"
They haven't said a word yet, but they know they're from Peach Blossom Island!
"Otherwise, who do you think killed all the zombies along the way?"
Qi Ling rolled her eyes at them, trying to intimidate them with a nonchalant tone, "They are superhumans. The leadership team of our safe base are all superhumans."
Upon hearing this, a commotion arose in the crowd.
Those flames were indeed eerie, as were the flyers that appeared out of nowhere on the island…
If he has superpowers, then everything makes sense!
Only those with superpowers can fight against mutated zombies and establish a safe base in the city.
The twenty people looked excited and then obediently filled out the registration form as required.
Yun Zhao stood to the side and watched until all twenty people had registered. Then she took the notebook and flipped through it one by one.
No, there is still no sixth person.
The group of people had already surrounded Qi Ling and started asking her all sorts of questions.
"Are you the island's administrators?"
"If we join the safe zone, will they provide us with supplies?"
“We are strong and can do anything, just give us food.”
"By the way, there are 422 people on Peach Blossom Island. We're just here to check the situation first..."
Although many questions and anxieties remain in my mind, the thought of being able to start a new life in a relatively safe place is encouraging.
Hope shone in people's eyes.
Yun Zhao silently observed everything. She put the registration book back on the front desk, took out two mints from her pocket, and handed one to the rabbit.
Just as she turned around, she saw Zhou Yang coming out of the stairwell.
The boy was still wearing a baseball cap, and his clothes had become somewhat dusty after working for so many days.
Zhou Yang looked up and saw Yun Zhao. He subconsciously took two steps back and almost bumped into Jing Yao who was coming down from behind.
"I...I'm going out to work!" Zhou Yang said, and jogged out of the hotel.
The rabbit was baffled. "Why is he running?"
Yun Zhao said quietly, "He's very afraid of me."
Among the seven members of Team Zero, Yun Zhao and Qi Ling are the easiest to talk to.
She appears gentle and delicate, quiet and obedient. According to normal thinking, she should be the easiest person to approach and communicate with.
But apart from the little girl named Ren Xin, most of the mutants were afraid of her.
Yun Zhao initially thought that this fear came from the fear of the superhumans. It was normal for the survivors to have a sense of awe towards her, since they relied on them for protection and food distribution.
I didn't understand until I read Chen Xi's diary.
Are mutants afraid of the Dark Guide?
