Chapter 46

Lin Chen stared at the snow for a long time,

the black shadow didn't appear again, but the unease in his heart didn't dissipate. He had A Kai guard the window,

and he and Xia Nuan checked the doors and windows, piling the supply boxes two more layers behind the door,

nailing the steel plates on the windows tighter,

and even blocking the ventilation ducts with wire mesh to ensure there were no gaps.

Just after finishing, a "humming" roar suddenly came from outside, louder than last time.

Lin Chen rushed to the window, lifted the canvas, and looked—in the distant sky, the "Shadow" organization's helicopters were pitch black,

at least several hundred of them, and the modified vehicles on the ground were driving along the road, their wheels crushing the accumulated snow,

and the snow mist splashed up could cover half a vehicle.

"Damn it, coming again!" Lin Chen cursed in a low voice and quickly had Xia Nuan and A Kai hide behind the bunker: "Get your weapons ready,

don't show your heads; they can't break the doors and windows, but bullets might come in through the gaps!"

As soon as he finished speaking,

the helicopters' Gatling guns opened fire, the "da-da-da" gunfire hitting the wall like a rainstorm, the bullets hitting the reinforced steel plates and making a crisp "ding-ding-dang-dang" sound,

but they didn't penetrate. The people on the ground also started to act, some carrying ladders to climb upstairs,

and some pushing small armor-piercing cannons, aiming at the door: "Lin Chen! What kind of skill is it to hide inside! If you have the guts, come out for a one-on-one!"

Lin Chen leaned behind the bunker and ignored them—going out now is just asking for death,

and with the reinforced doors and windows, he wasn't afraid of dragging it out. He looked at the system prompt before him, 【Current doors and windows reinforced well, can withstand attacks below armor-piercing cannons】, and breathed a sigh of relief; at least they were safe for now.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The door was shaken violently by the crowbar, and the people outside were still shouting: "You think you're fine hiding inside?

We brought enough ammunition, we'll wear you out even if it takes forever!"

Lin Chen picked up the submachine gun,

and shouted at the door crack: "If you have the guts, blow it up, don't just blabber here! Let's see how long your ammunition can last!"

The people outside were choked, the force of smashing the door became even greater, and the armor-piercing cannon also started to fire with a "boom,"

the shell hitting the door, and several supply boxes behind the door fell, but the door still didn't break. 【System Prompt: Doors and windows attacked by armor-piercing cannon, reinforcement damage 10%, still can withstand attacks】

Xia Nuan gripped Lin Chen's arm,

her voice trembling slightly: "Do they really have a lot of ammunition?"

"Don't worry," Lin Chen patted her hand, "The helicopters' fuel is limited,

and the ammunition on the ground can't be infinite either; they can't outlast us."

Sure enough, from morning until noon, the attacks outside gradually weakened. The roar of the helicopters decreased a lot, and the gunfire on the ground also became sparse.

Lin Chen quietly lifted the canvas and took a look. Many helicopters were flying into the distance, fuel probably exhausted,

and the modified vehicles on the ground were also halved; the remaining people were still smashing the door, but their strength was clearly not as great as before.

By four o'clock in the afternoon, the attacks outside stopped completely. Someone shouted at the door: "Lin Chen! You're lucky this time,

next time we'll bring more powerful weapons, just you wait!"

The footsteps and wheel sounds gradually faded away, and the roar of the helicopters also disappeared. Lin Chen waited for more than ten minutes,

confirming they had really left, before daring to stand up: "Finally gone."

Xia Nuan and A Kai also breathed a sigh of relief. A Kai leaned against the wall and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Scared me to death,

I thought they were going to keep fighting forever."

Lin Chen walked to the window and looked at the empty road, but his heart didn't relax. Black Crow didn't succeed this time,

and next time he would definitely bring more powerful weapons. He must improve his ability as soon as possible and find more rare supplies to reinforce the defense. Just as he wanted to turn around, he suddenly remembered something,

and pulled Xia Nuan to the storage room: "Right, there's one more thing I haven't looked at."

Xia Nuan was stunned for a moment and followed him to the corner of the storage room. There was a small cage there,

with a hamster inside, which they had picked up in the complex before and had forgotten to feed.

Lin Chen found a pack of nuts from the supply pile, crushed them, and put them in: "I was busy dealing with the 'Shadow' organization before and almost forgot about it."

The hamster smelled the fragrance and immediately came over to eat, holding the nut pieces with its small paws, looking very cute. Xia Nuan smiled,

crouched by the cage and watched: "Good thing it's lucky and didn't starve to death."

"We'll pay more attention in the future," Lin Chen touched the hamster's head, "In the apocalypse, the more who can live, the better, whether it's people or animals."

At night, the three of them simply ate some compressed biscuits. Because A Kai's wounds hurt, he went to sleep early.

Lin Chen and Xia Nuan sat in the living room without turning on the lights, only the snow light from outside shining in. Xia Nuan leaned on Lin Chen's shoulder,

and said in a low voice: "Although today was dangerous, at least we survived."

"Yeah," Lin Chen nodded, "After A Kai's wounds heal, we'll go to the research institute to find rare supplies, improve the ability,

reinforce the defense, and we'll be safer in the future."

Xia Nuan didn't speak again, just leaned closer to him. Lin Chen looked at the snow outside the window,

feeling very calm. Although the "Shadow" organization would come again, and although the apocalypse hadn't ended, at least for now, the three of them were together, had enough supplies,

and had awakened abilities; everything would get better.

Early the next morning, Lin Chen was awakened by the hamster's squeaking. He got up and looked; the hamster was squeaking at the cage door, probably hungry. Just as he wanted to feed it,

he suddenly heard a "crack" sound outside the window, like the sound of ice cracking. His heart tightened, and he quickly walked to the window. The snow outside had stopped, but the sky was still overcast,

and on the ice by the road, something seemed to be moving.
