Back at the hotel, the idle Zhan Yun took off his coat and began to do push-ups on the ground. His strong muscles were bulging, and Su Ruizhe couldn’t turn away his eyes. When Zhan Yun got up from the ground sweaty after doing hundreds of pushups in one breath, he could not help but laugh at his little lover’s silly look.
“What are you looking at, little fool?” Zhan Yun comically scraped Su Ruizhe’s nose.
Zhan Yun’s figure is even more perfect from a short distance. Eight abdominal muscles and a strong waist, plus a pair of long legs, are hormone bursting, not to mention the appearance of sweat on his muscles just after his exercise, which is really sexy.
“No, nothing to see Ge, you must want to take a bath, right? I, I will go to tell elder brother Song to give you water.” Su Ruizhe’s face was red all of a sudden. He quickly turned away and left these words in a hurry.
Zhan Yun looks at Su Ruizhe’s back as he left in a panic, smiles and shakes his head. After all, his little lover is still young, so he is too shy.
Soon, Song Chengshu came to give water to Zhan Yun, and also very considerate to adjust to hot water, so that Zhan Yun took a comfortable hot bath.
During the day, everyone went to sleep. At night, they went outside the base to find some materials according to the original plan.
Guan Hong and Dr. Yang still stay in the base and continue to contact the local garrison. As for the information about new bullets and vegetable juice, they will wait for Zhan Yun to come back.
Guan Hong has made two preparations for such a decision. If Zhan Yun can find materials successfully, they can exchange materials for the soilless cultivation techniques according to the plan agreed on before, and then give the information they have to the local garrison. On the other hand, he also needs to be prepared for the chance that Zhan Yun can't get anything for them to exchange so they can only use the information for the technology.
Zhan Yun's team may not be able to find enough materials in the vicinity as it is all Wancheng base's sites. Maybe they have been already picked through several times. There is little chance that Zhan Yun can find enough materials. It is estimated that they need to go further to get something. And the corpses in the farther places are not cleaned up, which will be very troublesome to deal with.
But Zhan Yun’s strength is superior, and Guan Hong trusts their ability very much.
So Guan Hong decided to wait for Zhan Yun and the others to come back first then act.
Guan Hong gave the keys of the two army trucks to Zhan Yun and his team in case they found the materials, so they'll be able to bring them back.
Zhan Yun also has no intention to refuse Guan Hong either. He took the keys and left. However, he is confident that when they come back, they will definitely bring enough materials. Even if they can’t find enough materials nearby, don’t they have Su Ruizhe's space?
There is still a lot of tobacco, wine and other things collected from before in the space. It seems to be quite valuable in Wancheng base. Anyway, it’s not very useful for them. If they can’t find anything, they can take them out first.
At the gate of the base, there are a lot of teams like them who are going out of the city to search for materials. They are all affiliated with different powers. They are huge and seem to have a lot of people. In such a harsh environment as Wancheng base, anyone who has a bit of combat power will choose to rely on the team of ability users to feed themselves by going out to collect materials every day.
Those people began to pay attention to Zhan Yun when they saw their pitiful team. This team seems to have few people, but each of them is an ability user. Even the kid in the team has a red badge on his chest.
Zhan Yun, without looking around, went straight to the side of the military car and opened the door with the key. He and Cheng Qi got on the driver’s seat of a military car respectively, and left the base one before and one after driving the military cars.
They picked any road and drove out along it. Anyway, they are not familiar with Wancheng, so they can openly drive at will.
“Ah Zhan, there are many cars following us.” Cheng Qi took a look at the rearview mirror and said with his walkie talkie and Zhan Yun.
“Well, if they want to follow, let them follow.” Zhan Yun sneers and continues to move forward.
He knew that the base must have been searched for a long time. If he wanted to gain something, he had to go to a far place, preferably a place with more zombies, so that the place might not have been swept.
But he didn’t expect that there are still many cars following him after driving more than 30 kilometers. It seems that they want to take advantage of this opportunity.
Wancheng is an agricultural city, so there are many villages around for farming, but those villages are mostly dead now. In the past, those green fields withered under the sun, and became a large area of wasteland. When the lights shine on them, only pieces of dead grass can be seen.
“Brother, there’s something over there… ” Yu Dongdong suddenly sat up straight and pointed to the dark field in front of him.
When Su Ruizhe heard this, he immediately looked at it, but it was too dark to see it. He could only vaguely see the green light hidden in the withered grass.
“What is that?” Zheng Jiahe also came to the window to look.
“I don’t know…” Before Su Ruizhe finished speaking, Yu Dongdong suddenly grabbed him and looked back.
"Brother, brother! It’s them!”
As soon as Yu Dongdong’s voice fell, he saw a black shadow quickly jump out of the grass, jump up, and jump onto the car behind with Cheng Qi inside.
Cheng Qi’s car seemed as if it had been hit by an elephant. He lost his balance and rushed out. Fortunately, it was surrounded by fields. Otherwise, there would be a traffic accident.
Zhan Yun sees the situation and presses the brake in an emergency, turns the car around and chases after it.
Under the strong lights, they all saw what had fallen on the car.
It turned out to be a wolf. Its skeleton was broad and solid, its fur was messy, and its body was thin. But it could be seen from the skeleton that it was originally very strong. Those green eyes, shining with bloodthirsty light, stare at the people in the car.
“Awoo!” The wolf raised his head and howled.
Then one wolf after another came out of the surrounding fields.
They were big and small. It looks like it has more than 20 wolves.
And behind Cheng Qi’s car, there are many other vehicles that were also hit in the fields.
“Mutated wolves!” It must be the mutated wolves that can have such great power and intelligence.
“Hahaha! We're rich! ” The people who followed them and wanted to profit, laughed and opened the door and got off with guns.
The meat of mutant animals can be eaten, and it’s very delicious. Now in such an apocalypse, there are people who don’t know how long they haven’t tasted meat. Now in front of them, there are so many mutated wolf meat. If all of them are killed and taken back, I don’t know how many materials can be exchanged for them, isn’t it equal to getting rich?
Is it just that the mutant wolves, are they really so easy to deal with?
Even the ordinary wolves before the end of the world, the hunters will be scared when they meet them, let alone the wolves that have obviously changed.
At the moment when the man took up his gun and was ready to shoot, a wolf rushed at the man and bit him in the throat.
“Ah, Aah, Aaah –” the smell of blood stimulated the wolves. All the wolves were agitated, their eyes were flashing a fierce green light, their bodies were lowered down, and their attacking posture was put forward.
Countless people got out of their car, used the machine gun to shoot, or used weapons to attack, but these wolves are just hanging on, one by one, with amazing speed, and people are constantly killed by the wolves.
The screams of human beings, the roar of wild animals, mixed with the sound of guns, keep on ringing…
The wolf on Cheng Qi’s car growled at the people in the car. His claws scratched metal on the car and scratched a deep scratch. The claws were like steel knives.
“Tsk!” We can’t let this wolf attack the car anymore. It’s a military thing. If it’s damaged, we can’t explain it to Guan Hong.
Seeing this, Cheng Qi quickly lowered the window and used his ability. Blue lightning as thick as fingers shot out of Cheng Qi’s fingertips and hit the wolf outside.
“Awoo!” The wolf let out a whine and rolled down from the front of the car.
Cheng Qi quickly backed up and tried to drive back to the road, but found that the ground here was very muddy, and their wheels were stuck in it.
What’s going on? It’s a hot day in the morning. The general field should have been dried up and cracked. How could there be such a muddy ground?
Unless… Do these wolves have abilities?
Just thinking about this, the wolf who was just overpowered by Cheng Qi got up again, growled at Cheng Qi with a grin, and rushed towards the car. The windshield made of toughened glass was cracked by the wolf’s great power.
Cheng Jiao immediately got out of the car and aimed at the wolf. The sharp blade cut the skin of the wolf, but it didn’t kill the other side. Instead, it stimulated the other side’s ferocity.
“Awoo!”
Cheng Qi’s thunder and lightning hit the wolf again and again. With the help of Cheng Jiao’s wind blade, the wolf couldn’t get close to them and finally fell down.
However, Cheng Qi and Cheng Jiao are also very tired. Their powers have been used so thoroughly for the first time since they awaked.
Looking back, Wu Jing and Zhang Shuoliang have also been fighting with the two wolves. Wu Jing’s body is hidden, which makes every attack of those wolves useless. Zhang Shuoliang unleashes his powers, and one sharp spike after another plunges into the wolves’ bodies.
The scene is full of the smell of blood…
It’s said that wolves are very afraid of fire. Unfortunately, there is no fire ability user among them. Otherwise, setting a fire would have maybe made these wolves run away by now.
“Awoo, Awoo -“
Apparently, the wolves found that some of their kind had died in their hands, so they left behind the humans with low attack power and gradually surrounded them.
