hehe 69… I know I’m weird but I just had to make a comment XD

That night, ZhanYun and his team were driving out of the base in their car when they were stopped by a young soldier named Cui Jianchao.

"Captain Zhan Yun! Captain Zhan Yun!"

Cui Jianchao had awakened the speed ability. Later, the leader of the base liked to let him run errands for anything. Now, he ran to them in a hurry, and was tasked by company commander Zhang.

“Little Cui? What’s up?” Zhan Yun stopped the car, lowered the window and leaned out to ask.

“Company commander Zhang has requested you to come over.” Cui Jianchao wiped his sweat. Fortunately, he ran fast. Otherwise, captain Zhan Yun would have gone out of the city.

“Okay.” Zhan Yun immediately turned the car around and headed for the base headquarters.

Company Commander Zhang was waiting in the reception room of the headquarters. When he saw Zhan Yun come, he immediately greeted with a smile.

“Captain Zhan Yun, there you are.”

“Company Commander Zhang, do you need our help for any new tasks ?” Both sides simply greeted, and Zhan Yun asked directly.

After so many cooperations between the two sides, company commander Zhang directly said, “Yes, we heard that someone in Wancheng base has developed soilless cultivation technology, which can greatly improve the planting and yield of crops with the help of the ability of wood experts. We are going to send a few technicians to study this. However, the road from our base to Wancheng base has not been opened yet. We are worried about the danger. Moreover, Xiao Su’s wood ability is the strongest in our base. If it doesn’t bother the two of you, we want to invite you to join us and protect one or two technicians on the way.”

On hearing this, Zhan Yun looked at Su Ruizhe and asked, “What do you think, Xiao Zhe?”

Su Ruizhe:…

What was there to think about! Nothing at all! His powers were all used in weapon transformation, and there was no way to produce crops! All the fruits and vegetables he took out were grown by himself in the space, and he would be of no help in Wancheng base!

Zhan Yun saw his little lover glaring at him sharply and changed his words quickly, “But Xiaozhe’s powers are special. Let's not waste them on these low-level crops. Company Commander Zhang, you should choose some other wood system ability users to follow us.”

“Alright.” Company Commander Zhang also thought that Su Ruizhe’s ability was too special, and it would be a waste to use it on farming, so he immediately agreed with them.

"When will you start?"

“Of course, the sooner the better. Since you have no problem, let’s start at six tomorrow evening. But one thing I have to tell you is that Dr. Yang has a high degree, good technology, and a great spirit of study. He also has a little temper… um, he’s strange. Please take care of yourselves.”

"Don't worry." Zhan Yun could understand. Weren't people engaged in the research and learning field a little grumpy these days?

Since they were going on a mission the very next day, they decided t not to leave the city today. They would go back to get some rest. It should not be very peaceful on the way to Wancheng base.

The next day, when they gathered at the gate of the base, Zhan Yun met Dr. Yang. Dr. Yang Mingyu, with a pair of glasses and a babyface, looked young, but was actually thirty years old. He had a Ph.D. in biology and chemistry. He was a man with a very high IQ. He was the main person going to Wancheng base to study the soilless cultivation technology. He was accompanied by his two young assistants, a man, and a woman.

Dr. Yang rode inside a limousine. It was said that Dr. Yang's family was very good. This car was his own property. But now, it had been transformed into a simple laboratory by him. He didn't forget to conduct some experiments on the way

In addition to Zhan Yun’s team, the base also sent two military cars to escort them. This time, Guan Hong was in charge of the team, and Li Ming did not participate in the operation because of other tasks.

Guan Hong had once cooperated with Zhan Yun. He was very clear about their abilities, so he was very polite and considerate to them.

There were also two wood ability users in cars behind. The older one named Lao Yuan was the one recruited by the base. He was originally a farmer, honest and kind. He was one of the most powerful in the field of plant production. Another junior Xiao Jiang was a soldier. He had just awakened the wood system ability, but was not very skilled in controlling the ability. Originally, it should not have been his turn to perform such a task. However, there were not many wood system ability users in the base. If all the more powerful ones went, problems would crop up in the supply of vegetables in the base. So finally, Lao Yuan and Xiao Jiang were the ones chosen.

Starting from the team, two cars protect Dr. Yang’s limo in the middle, and Zhan Yun’s SUV was still at the rear.

The team drove all the way to the west, and soon got on to the HX highway. In fact, as long as they transferred from HX highway to JT highway, and then crossed the Ying Tianmen bridge, they would almost enter the Wancheng border.

It was just that there were a lot of abandoned vehicles on the highway, and they couldn't go straight all the way. They needed to clean up the scattered zombies on the highway from time to time. It was really taking a long time.

If it had been before the end of the world, it would have taken them three to four hours from the southern base to the Wancheng base. But now, it would take two or three days.

However, with the new bullets, it was a lot easier to clean up the zombies. The fire ability users in the army were specially responsible for burning the zombie corpses and collecting crystal nuclei. Basically, they didn’t move much.

They rested in the gas stations along the way during the day and continued on the road at night. It took them two days on the road. They met several vehicles on the way to Wancheng base. They all followed them as if they were an army.

About three o’clock in the morning on the third day, they finally arrived at Yingtianmen bridge, but the road to the bridge was blocked. Guan Hong thought that there were abandoned vehicles in front of him. He wanted to ask people to get out of the car and move them away. But when he got closer, he found that there were people in those vehicles.

Guan Hong knocked on the window of a car. When the other side saw him in a military uniform, he lowered the window and looked at him warily.

“What are you doing? Why are you all stuck here?” Guan Hong asked in surprise.

“We are queuing up. The Anhui city base needs to deliver materials to enter. It takes a long time to count materials.” The man looked at Yan Guanhong and said, “Aren’t you from Wancheng base?”

“We are from the south base. What are the regulations for Wancheng base to enter the city? Would you please tell me?” Guan Hong asked, taking out a small bag of biscuits.

The other side took it with a smile. On the spot, he ripped open the packing bag and ate it. While eating it, he talked with Guan Hong.

It turned out that this Wancheng base was different from the southern base. It was not rebuilt by the military region, but established by several forces together. Although there were local garrison forces, it could not completely dominate the Wancheng base.

Although the Wancheng base also accepted survivors, unlike the southern base, everyone needed to pay three jin of grain to enter. The base was also not responsible for solving problems relating to accommodation and food. After entering the city, they needed to solve their issues. However, the treatment of ability users in the Wancheng base was a little better. If someone was an ability user, they didn't need to pay any materials to enter the city. After the ability user entered the base, he could join the ability user team, so the food and accommodation problems were easily solved. So, the Wancheng base was very popular with the ability users. And ordinary survivors, because of the number of ability users in Wancheng base, felt more secure, so they chose to join Wancheng base.

The vehicles blocked in front were all not survivors who had just arrived at Wancheng base. Some of them were ability users teams who had come out to do tasks. However, they needed to pay half of the collected materials, so it took a long time to count their materials.

Guan Hong was stunned, he couldn't believe that the regulations in Wancheng base were so strict.

But they had a task to complete and wanted to learn the new technique of soilless cultivation from Wancheng base, so they could only stand in line.

Finally, after more than half an hour of a waiting period, the traffic in front of them continued to cross the bridge, and finally, it was their turn.

But just at this time, there was a sudden roar of zombies.

“There are zombies! Here come the zombies!” All of a sudden, all the people in the room became a mess. They got into the car and wanted to run away. However, there were traffic jams around, leaving them nowhere to run.

“Don't panic! Don’t move!” Suddenly, someone holding the trumpet shouted at the crowd, and shot at the sky.

The crowd grew quiet, all looking in the direction of the sound.

It was a man in a short-sleeved T-shirt who was standing in front of a big truck and yelling at them. There were seven to eight people holding guns around him. They all had a lightning sign drawn on their arms. They all looked relaxed, without any panic in their faces.

“It’s the thunder ability users, the thunder ability users!” People from Wancheng base recognized them.

Zhan Yun raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at those people with interest.

The roaring zombies slowly gathered around. There were about a dozen of them. They should have been attracted by the crowd gathered here.

Those people raised their guns and shot, but they didn’t have a good aim. After shooting for five minutes, only half of the zombies were killed. There were many people who were already close to the peripheral vehicles.

“Ah ah ah!” Some people screamed and fled in the direction of the bridge, and the crowd began to get disordered again.

The author has something to say:

All of a sudden, the theater lords disappeared, so today’s little theater is nowhere to be found…

The necklace that was said yesterday is a colorful gold necklace, I don’t know where the point is …in being colorful. The gold necklace is very beautiful…. I love it!

Thank the little angels for their mines and nutrition. I love you, Mua.

I wanna thank everyone that answered my questions last chapter! Thank you so much for all those comments and it was fun reading how you guys see yourselves in an apocalypse!

I know this chapter is a day late but sorry guys it’s hectic as a college junior right now even though I just started but the first exam will be given soon. I’ll make sure the coming chapters are on time though!

Also, I know the apocalypse makes people desperate and all but it also seems to bring out the dark side of people with how this base acted and I know that this is how it actually would be like which is shown in many zombie games like The Last Of Us but it still makes me a bit disappointed in how dark people can become…

When they mentioned the doctor’s age:

Dragon: When did 30 become old? My sister will cry if she sees this sentence lmaoo

Jostena: Thiry is the prime of life! Those women and men who are thirty look mature and sexy so I’ll fight those who call them old!

When they mentioned the base taking materials:

Jostena: This base sounds like it’s run by a bunch of assholes and thieves!

Dragon: Don’t hit me QAQ. But I would say, after the apocalypse, this is exactly how humanity struggling to survive will be.

Don’t hit me QAQ

Jostena: I won’t hit little Dragon but this is also a bit too much because these people can’t even survive so how will they find materials. I’d probably survive on my own if this was the case…
