Chapter 823: Mo Family ( 1 )
The black flame turned into a firewall that expanded to the surroundings at a fast speed, melting the snow instantly. The building became the center as the firewall continued moving forward.
In less than 2 minutes, the area within a radius of 500 meters around the hypermart was no longer covered in snow. With the snow melting, the ground was wet, and black ashes were mixed in. A strong, rancid stench filled the air instantly.
With their Captain taking the first move, the rest of the members leaped from the rooftop and went in different directions.
Before leaving with his team, Qin Luzi glanced at the hypermart’s entrance.
The people hiding behind the rolling metal door were stunned by his glance. It took them a moment to regain their composure and realize that they shouldn’t have been visible behind the metal door.
Soon after the Phantom Team left, the group of survivors went to the third floor. When they arrived, a group of women was busy cooking 2 pots of thin gruel, while the men were checking their weapons.
Seeing them coming, one of them asked, "How is it? Did you find out their background?"
A young man shook his head and replied, "They wear uniforms and look like soldiers. But we didn’t see any insignia on their clothes, so we guessed that they were mercenaries."
Hearing this, a middle-aged man frowned and said, "Guess? Since you are unsure, why don’t you ask them directly?"
"Brother, you think we don’t want to? We have been waiting for the right moment. But you also saw how strong they are. With just 1 move, they melted all that snow. Before we could even open the door, they had already left," a young man said unhappily.
Before the middle-aged man could retort, a man in his forties raised his hand and said, "Enough. Right now is not the time to argue."
When they heard this, everyone went silent. The man looked outside the window and said, "Gather our men and get ready. We will go out and check the situation in half an hour."
"Boss, the situation outside is unknown. It’s too dangerous for us to go out now," the young man tried to persuade him.
The man shook his head and said, "With those people clearing the snow, this is the best time. If we delay too long, the snow will pile up again, and it will be difficult for us to go out."
"We have stayed in this place for almost 9 months, and the supplies were mostly used up. If we don’t find more supplies, we will die sooner or later."
The moment they heard his words, everyone finally shut up.
They thought that they had found a safe place. But after so long, this place would soon run out of supplies. By then, they would face a similar situation to the survivor camp nearby.
Just thinking about those bones scattered outside the camp made them shiver in horror.
Knowing that they had no other option, the men went to make preparations. As for the women, they could only pray for their safety. After living together for so long, some of them had become lovers, and most of the women were pregnant.
To ensure the safety of their childbirth and the survival of the newborn baby, the men had to go out and get more supplies. Despite their fear, the thoughts of their wives and unborn children waiting for them filled them with determination.
Half an hour later, the sound of a metal rolling door echoed in the area, and soon after, a group of people walked out. Each of them was covered from head to toe and was holding a weapon.
Standing on the edge of the rooftop, Jin Xuyan observed them for a while. Most of them were mutants, but only one of them had reached level 2. The rest of them were either at level 0 or level 1.
Judging from their strength, he could guess that after they arrived in this place, they never went out to hunt zombies. Without practice, their level would be stuck, and they wouldn’t be able to gain experience in combat.
Now that the zombies and mutants had evolved, with their current strength, the chance of them surviving was below 5%. They had missed the best time window to gain combat experience and level up their ability.
Reaching this conclusion, Jin Xuyan sighed.
After the group left the area, he followed them from a distance. He looked at the man leading the group with a complicated gaze.
In his previous life, this person had reached level 5 at this time. But in this lifetime, without meeting him, his progress was actually delayed so much.
Instead of managing Sanchou Base, he had actually hidden in this place. Without him, Jin Xuyan wondered who was the person in charge of the base.
Thanks to the Phantom Team members, the group progressed smoothly. The road was no longer blocked by snow, and there were no zombies.
Everyone cheered and went to search the abandoned houses, stores, and buildings. Without space-type mutants, they could only use plastic bags, backpacks, or sacks to carry the supplies.
Most of the supplies were still edible thanks to the low temperature, turning them into frozen food. But the medicine and liquids were spoiled and couldn’t be used anymore.
Seeing that there was no information he could get from them, Jin Xuyan went in another direction. This time, he went directly to the only base in Sanchou City.
Using his satellite phone, he made a phone call to Zhang Yuan. The call was picked up after several rings.
"Captain, do you have any orders?"
"I’m going to the base. Inform the members to continue clearing the city. I will wait for you all there."
"Understood."
After informing his team, Jin Xuyan leaped from one building to another, and in less than 2 hours, he stood outside a high wall made of stone and mud.
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar base, the corner of his lips was lifted. This was his base in the previous life. The strongest base of Huaxia.
