Rebirth in the end of the world, hold the ex's thigh tightly

The reason why Jiang Nian chose Xihe City was that he suddenly remembered what Xia Weiwei said when she was showing off S Base in her previous life:

The rescue exploration team of S base obtained a lot of supplies in Xihe City. The time was after the extreme heat, so they took the initiative now.

The scary places in the legend are actually not that dangerous, because the earthquake buried most zombies and humans deep enough and cleanly enough.

Their goal this time is to search for supplies, and if possible, they can sell them to the base as a big favor:

For example, if they were really sure that the situation in Xihe City was stable and a large amount of supplies had been discovered, they would contact Zhou Li to dispatch personnel to conduct a comprehensive sweep once they had enough.

The base will also give them certain points as reward compensation.

These are what Minister Wang and Zhou Li told Cheng Jing in private.

The more supplies received before the extreme heat arrives, the less pressure the base will face in providing relief supplies in extreme weather.

The teammates didn't comment much on their eldest brother's decision, but they were not familiar with Xihe City and were worried that it was too far to get there.

Everyone's concerns disappeared when Jiang Nian took out a stack of super detailed maps of Xihe City with a guidebook.

It includes the district divisions of the entire Xihe City, the markings of various streets, main roads, and small paths, the locations of landmark reference objects, etc.

There are even floor plans of many special or large buildings in the city.

When Jiang Nian was quietly collecting supplies, he had already made up his mind to enter the South City base.

Therefore, he chose to buy the most expensive and detailed package for the map of the surrounding cities centered on the South City base.

Moreover, Xihe City is a lakeside tourist city with a nationally famous artificial lake, and there will be more and more detailed guides.

Even though the once prosperous city has been completely changed due to earthquakes and apocalyptic pollution, with such a map and the strength of the team, it will be no problem to explore it.

Jiang Nian didn't say much about hoarding maps, and his teammates didn't ask much either.

Some things, even if they seem unreasonable and a bit fantastic, do not need to be said out loud. Jiang Nian's secret is the secret of their entire team.

The map came in handy. Apart from Jiang Nian, Cheng Jing thought he made the greatest contribution. He was so tired when he went downstairs to pick up the express delivery, but he was so happy now.

Because their time was limited, they only set three clear goals based on Jiang Nian's proposal:

Logistics Park, Outer Ring Commercial Zone, People’s Hospital Branch.

These three places are all on the outer ring road and are far away from the city center.

In the previous life, the S base, which had long arms and stretched everywhere, focused on fishing in these three places and did not go deep into the city center.

However, the specific details will have to be decided once we reach the destination.

……

From early morning before sunrise to late evening when night fell, they entered Xihe City and took the Outer Ring Road directly.

Like other cities, ruins can be seen everywhere, but the cracks caused by the earthquake here are more numerous than in other places, and the severity becomes more severe the further in you go.

Eventually, they were forced to deviate from their planned route because the collapsed roadblocks on the inner city bridge could not be cleared.

After winding through some unusual roads, we finally stopped at Yangming Park Square in the Outer Ring New District.

From the tourist map guide, we know that this is also one of the gathering centers for outdoor tourists, but it is less used. After all, the outer ring cannot be compared with the city center.

According to the map, if you continue walking along the avenue opposite the park square for about three kilometers, you will reach the Xihe People's Hospital branch.

According to the original planned route, the route was to go to the logistics park first, then the outer ring commercial district, and finally the hospital.

According to Jiang Nian's idea, the logistics park is the highlight.

The hospital is one of the hardest hit areas in the apocalypse, and the damage it suffers will definitely be more serious than other places.

In addition, since medicines are important supplies, the authorities will find ways to control and collect them, so there won’t usually be much leftovers.

As for the commercial area, it has always been crowded with people, and whether it was the chaos in the early stage or the subsequent scramble for supplies, it was the "target of public criticism".

Compared with the two, the logistics park will be much better.

"..."

The car stopped and everyone got out to check the surroundings. After making sure there was nothing unusual, Cheng Jing waved his hand and said:

"Okay, let's rest here tonight. We'll head straight to the hospital tomorrow morning. The search is planned to take a day, but we'll have to act on our own and try not to delay too long."

Having a clear purpose can save a lot of time.

"Ok."

"..."

The captain spoke and everyone followed suit.

Although this place is in a dilapidated and chaotic state, it is open and without too many obstructions, so the view is good. There are cracks and potholes of varying sizes on the ground, but none of them were caused recently.

Then Lu Ningzhou used his earth-related abilities to explore and confirmed that this area was very stable and could be used as a temporary stopover.

Tang Yi controlled a drone to take off and check whether there were any zombies around, but he only found scattered traces, and they were still far away from him.

This is a place where few living people come, and they will not attract attention in the short term.

Today's zombies have evolved. The energy provided by the crystal cores has allowed them to learn to gather in groups instinctively, and even hide in the dark during the day.

Zombies are becoming smarter overall. The slow-moving, wandering zombies are either inferior evolutionaries without zombie crystal cores, or they were just infected not long ago...

This is the bad news they have personally experienced along the way.

It won’t be long before a leadership group like the Corpse King emerges.

The zombie king appears, and the zombie tide is not far from attacking the city.

'buzz buzz—'

Tang Yi took back the drone and everyone started to set up tents.

Lu Ningzhou used his earth-related abilities to build four concealing walls. The walls were connected and blended with the surrounding environment and had a hidden door.

The top was empty, and looking down from above, it looked like an earthen wall box surrounding them.

After that, Cheng Jing took out a few wireless alarms and plugged them into the four corners of the wall.

The infrared warning range is about 100 meters, which is just right. If the range is too wide, it would be troublesome to call the police at the slightest disturbance.

After the power was turned on and tested, the connected infrared coils surrounded their temporary shelter in the middle.

This way, you have two layers of protection, and you can sleep more peacefully by setting up a tent and laying out a sleeping bag inside.

Adding more concealing walls can also isolate a lot of charred fly ash and sand.

"..."

"By the way, I wonder what the zombies will look like when they evolve. Could they really turn back into humans?"

Someone said something, and everyone started discussing while continuing with their work:

"I don't think so. After all, no matter if they were infected before or after death, they are all dead after becoming zombies."

"They are rotten inside and out. Unless they evolve and grow new flesh and blood and hearts, they are no longer zombies..."

"I think that after a zombie evolves, it is still a zombie..."

"..."

What the zombies will look like after their final evolution has become a question that most people are concerned about.

And among all the strange speculations, there is a high probability that they can turn back into humans.
