The End of the World: I Command the Cthulhu Army

The survivors spent their first safe and comfortable night under the shelter of Zhao Kai and others. Although the night was cold, it warmed people's hearts.

Zhao Kai sat by the fire, looking at the small moon outside the window. Everyone had gone to sleep, but he was the only one still staying up all night, bored.

……

When the first ray of sunlight at dawn shone on Zhao Kai's face through the window, Zhao Kai realized that he had fallen asleep.

The curtain of night faded like the tide, and the bleak light of a new birth occupied the world again.

"Morning, bro."

After walking a few steps, Ma Haitao, who was lying on the ground doing push-ups, asked Zhao Kai good morning.

"Morning... Eh? Where's Captain Meng?"

Zhao Kai replied, looked around but didn't see Meng Hechuan, so he asked again

"Oh, Lao Meng went for a morning run. That guy loves to run in the morning. Before the apocalypse... when I knew him... every day before dawn, he would run wildly on the playground."

Ma Haitao talks about the past like he is reminiscing

When I came to my senses again, Zhao Kai had disappeared from the spot.

A dark face was sweating profusely, and he couldn't help but sigh and laugh.

"Just like Lao Meng, he doesn't like to listen to people talking."

In the dead of winter, Binghai City should have been immersed in a festive atmosphere at this time in the past. However, the scene at this moment was indeed just a touch of color, stained with a lot of blood.

The cold wind from the rooftop kept reminding Meng Hechuan that the world was the same as before, yet different.

The world has collapsed, and what we need to do now is to protect everyone.

He knew that his talent was far more than what he had currently shown. It took all of his strength to deal with a giant mutant octopus. How could he then protect these millions of people?

To become stronger, you must become even stronger!

Thinking of this, he quickened his pace. Each of his steps was precise, and he drew circles on the roof. Even when the cold wind blew across his face like a knife, he never stopped.

After finishing running, he took a towel and dipped it in the water that had flowed out of the air conditioner outdoor unit, and wiped his body with it. He had a very explosive figure and very strong muscles, and it was not difficult to tell that this was a body that had been well-trained.

But when he turned around and saw Zhao Kai, he paused for a moment, his stern face showing no expression.

He asked, "How long have you been standing here?"

Zhao Kai smiled and said, "It didn't take long, maybe ten minutes. Captain Meng, you looked so handsome when you killed the giant octopus. The kids are taking you as their role model now."

Meng Hechuan walked closer, put on his clothes, and said, "It's so cold, aren't you afraid of catching a cold? Oh, yes, you are also an awakener..."

Zhao Kai added: "Tsk, don't underestimate me, Captain Meng, although I am younger than you, I am also an awakener after all. I will also do my best to protect the survivors."

Meng Hechuan rarely smiled and said, "Let's go. It's time to get on with our journey."

The survivors took a lot of supplies, which should be enough to last for two or three days. Now Meng Hechuan has almost recovered and volunteered to walk at the end of the team.

If there is no awakened person at the end of the team, it is easy for the home to be stolen, and then when fighting against the zombies, losses are inevitable.

A large group of people is like buffalo on the African grasslands, with adult cattle protecting the calves in the middle to prevent them from being hunted by predators such as hyenas.

Zombies are emotionless monsters that only know how to hunt. As long as there are enough zombies, they will cause harm to the survivors.

This is the reason why a random punch can kill a master.

Zhao Kai wants to achieve zero casualties, which is also his way of repaying Meng Hechuan and others.

Although the old and young women, young and old, were worried, they had all witnessed the strength of Meng Hechuan and Zhao Kai, and chose to believe in them unconditionally.

They wanted to go to the Longshan safe zone, and they were willing to do so even at the risk of their lives as long as they didn't have to stay in the city.

Even though everyone walked very carefully, zombies still attacked from all directions. Not all zombies evolved, but they were all improved to some extent.

Zombies originally rely on hearing to move around, and now that their hearing has been further enhanced, Zhao Kai and his group's task has become even more difficult.

Perhaps it was God's blessing that no high-level infected creatures like the giant octopus appeared on the road. If another creature of that level appeared, it would be the end of the world for the survivors.

When they reached the entrance of an alley, Zhao Kai stopped Ma Haitao and asked with a frown, "Don't you think it's strange? Since we set out this morning, we haven't encountered a single powerful zombie. Isn't this a bit strange?"

Ma Haitao's face flickered in the alley under the half-light leaking in from the sky. He looked at the slowly moving crowd, then nodded and said,

"I thought we were lucky at first, but now that you mention it, I feel something is wrong."

Zhao Kai said calmly: "You know, I just climbed up to the roof to observe the direction of the zombies, and found that they seemed to be gathering in the same direction. Isn't this too abnormal?"

Although Ma Haitao doesn't look very smart, he is a graduate of a military academy and was a top student in the past. He is not a big and strong person.

He clapped his hands and said, "Could it be that some powerful infected body has appeared and is summoning these low-level infected bodies?"

Zhao Kai's face looked unhappy. If his guess was correct, it would be horrible.

He lowered his voice as much as possible and said, "This is West City. Another powerful infected body has appeared and summoned lower-level infected bodies to gather. It is very likely a product of intelligence. So what is their goal? Don't you know it yet?"

As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes and looked in one direction.

Ma Haitao instantly took a breath of cold air and whispered in shock: "Could it be that the human safety zone has been targeted?"

Both of them looked unhappy. How many zombies are there in the entire West City? Enough to form a zombie tide of millions! If they all attack the Longshan Safe Zone at that time, then the Safe Zone will be in danger.

"I guess the Longshan Security Zone doesn't know about this yet, and we can't be sure of the correctness of this matter yet. I will go deep into the enemy camp, and you guys hurry to the Longshan Security Zone. I will report back to you as soon as I have any news."

Zhao Kai's mind was filled with thoughts of all the rewards from the system, and he said righteously that, of course, he was not just doing it for the system rewards.

"Well, take this phone. It has a preliminary survivor network, but due to the influence of the mysterious magnetic field, the phone signal is unstable at night."

Ma Haitao took out a silver-white mobile phone from his pocket. It didn’t have a fancy appearance, it was just an ordinary mobile phone.

"it is good!"

Zhao Kai took the phone and secretly told Meng Hechuan and his friends about this. Meng Hechuan looked at him seriously and said

"No, it's too dangerous to risk it alone!"

"This matter concerns the survival of everyone. I must confirm the truth! I have brought you here. I have also told Brother Ma the route to the Longshan safe zone. Don't worry, I will definitely come back safely."

Zhao Kai said firmly

"They need you more than me now!"

Meng Hechuan still couldn't persuade Zhao Kai, so he had to agree to let him go.

Under the respectful gazes of several people, Zhao Kai, who had "ulterior motives", turned and left, escaping in a direction completely different from the safe zone.
