Chapter 356 Second Playthrough (Part 1)
With the concerted efforts of the two bases, all the supplies on the transport ship were piled up and stored on the shore.
Countless shipping containers were neatly stacked together, forming high walls.
It looks quite spectacular.
The five members of Fuyu's team boarded the transport ship. Zhuo Yu, familiar with the place, crawled into the cockpit to check the wear and tear on various facilities and equipment.
Dawn Base is located in a coastal city.
Almost all the sentries at their base can operate boats, including these medium to large transport ships. The squad members can also operate them, mainly to check whether the slime on Qi Ling's body has damaged the cockpit.
Qi Ling, after boarding the ship, volunteered to have him tied up.
"With Yun Zhao not here, I'm afraid I'll be controlled by the gatekeepers and hurt you..." Qi Ling said this while standing on tin foil, not daring to move at the hatch.
He kept his head down the whole time, looking like a helpless little wretch.
Lin Yu looked reluctant, turned to look at the captain, and after seeing Fu Mo nod, sighed and went out to find tools.
The slime is corrosive, so ordinary ropes are definitely useless.
Lin Yu disembarked and asked the sentries for an alloy chain to wrap around his body. As he tied it, he said, "I'll be gentle. If it hurts, just say so. We'll untie you once we get inside and find Guide Yun."
"Okay." Qi Ling didn't resist and obediently cooperated by being tied up.
Everything is ready.
The two men in the driver's seat started the engine, preparing to head into contaminated zone 111.
At that moment, a massive spiritual entity appeared in the sky.
The white mythical beast soared above the sea, seemingly attracted by the commotion, and flew over specifically to check the situation.
It spotted the ship below and Fu Hu standing on the deck, and flew happily toward the deck, calling out "Awoo Awoo" to the water unicorn to come out and play.
Fu Yu: "Run!"
Getting entangled with this big guy will waste another half a day.
Jiang Mu, that lazybones, must have noticed what's going on here. If he loses his mind and tries to go in to take a look, Fu Mu's team might be stopped outside.
Because it's not yet time for joint operations, the base will not allow three S-class teams to enter the same contaminated area.
If they were wiped out in one fell swoop, humanity could not afford such a loss.
Upon hearing the commotion, Zhuo Yu quickly set sail.
The massive body of the white-haired beast nimbly circled in the air, getting closer and closer to the deck.
The sea breeze became even stronger with its arrival.
The transport ship was slightly affected and rocked a little, but it quickly started up and successfully sailed away from the shore. Then it suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the gray fog.
The white unicorn's round eyes were filled with confusion.
Jiang Mu: [Tsk, sweetie, come back and play.]
The child is so adorable, yet that woman, Fu Heng, acted as if she'd seen a ghost.
Upon hearing the summons, the White Beast turned around in mid-air and flew towards the temporary encampment of Dawn Base.
The sentries on the shore breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the white-haired beast was not interested in these containers.

The billowing gray fog quickly gathered, enveloping the ship, and then receded again in an instant.
The scene before my eyes has undergone earth-shattering changes.
One second you're in the bright sunshine, the next you're shrouded in darkness.
A waning moon hung in the sky.
The pitch-black sea was no longer its usual turbulent surface, but rather appeared almost frozen, gleaming with an eerie light that sent chills down one's spine.
It felt like stepping into a cursed body of water.
Qi Ling froze instantly, forgetting even to check her own physical condition.
He stared blankly outside; it was pitch black all around, and he couldn't see anything at all.
The night grew deeper.
The sea grew even darker.
A sense of foreboding suddenly rose in my heart.
He went out in the morning, and it's only been an hour. How come it's dark so quickly?
"That's normal; the flow of time is different in the contaminated area and outside."
Fu Yan had been observing his reactions to make sure he was still conscious before speaking, "In the contaminated zone, common sense no longer applies. You'll have to get used to it."
Qi Ling nodded hesitantly, "Then let's hurry ashore to find the captain and the others."
He was still bound by chains and would only be unchained when he saw Yun Zhao.
The transport ship headed towards the port in the contaminated area.
That was where Qi Ling left. According to him, the safe base established by Team Zero was not far from the sea, and they could reach it quickly after landing.
"Captain, the contamination level is 88%, and some swollen corpses have been found nearby."
Lin Yu said, "There are humans and marine life."
Her sea lion spirit had already jumped into the sea and was swimming towards the deep sea to explore the nearby waters.
Fu Heng walked onto the rear deck and could already vaguely see the outline of the city.
There was no light at all, like a lurking, ferocious monster, or the eyes of an unknown creature, peering at all living beings in this boundless darkness.
The transport ship is getting closer and closer to the port.
All personnel enter combat mode.
Before it had even come to a complete stop, a white tiger rushed out to explore the surrounding terrain.
After Qi Ling entered, his appearance returned to normal, except that his upper body was bound by iron chains and he could not move.
Lin Yu held one end of the chain and led him onto the port.
Seeing the familiar yet unfamiliar terrain, Qi Ling's sense of unease grew stronger.
The scattered containers and distant shelves in the port seemed much more dilapidated than when he left that morning.
“I always felt something was wrong; this place was a little different from when I left.”
Qi Ling had to speak up, gesturing with her chin to show them the scattered containers over there, "When I left, everything was perfectly fine, all neatly arranged. There's no way the captain and the others could have knocked these containers over..."
"And the warehouses over there, all the warehouse doors were open at the time, and we didn't even touch some of the warehouses that were used to pack packages."
“Look, those rooms over there, everything is gone now.”
The package contained all sorts of strange and unusual items.
The captain said to keep it, and if there's space on the last trip, we can take it out.
He sailed away with the only transport ship.
The captain can't possibly move all the packages back to the safe base; that would be a pointless exercise.
Fu Heng, holding the Gatling gun, squinted as she examined the situation. "Something happened to Team Zero?"
"impossible!"
Qi Ling instinctively retorted, her expression suddenly turning somewhat anxious as she explained rapidly, "We usually don't go out at night. We return to the hotel to rest before dark. It's probably already late at night, and the captain and the others have gone back to sleep."
That must be it!
With a captain as strong and Yun Zhao as powerful, how could anything possibly happen to them in such an ordinary zombie apocalypse?
"I know the way, I'll lead you there." Qi Ling seemed to want to prove that she was right, and hurriedly ran towards the exit.
He felt the pulling force and turned to signal Lin Yu, who was holding the chain, to hurry up and catch up with him.
Lin Yu had no choice but to wave to her teammates behind her and start running after Qi Ling.
Fu Yu didn't stop them. Carrying the Gatling gun and the huge ammunition box on her back, she called for the others to follow.
I've only run a few steps.
Zhuo Yu slammed on the brakes. "Captain, White Tiger has spotted something!"
