Chapter 1091: The Barrier Still Has Not Disappeared

The discussion hit a bottleneck, and the entire living room fell silent; no one spoke again.

Lin Yi keenly sensed that Ning Chen and Xiao Han's moods seemed not too good.

He turned his head, as if the atmosphere had shifted after what sister Yanqi said.

What did she just say? Oh, that group of infected was taken away by a high-level infected?

Ning Chen pondered this possibility; it was far more likely than others, but now there was a problem: why did those who took the infected group ignore them?

Although he and Xiao Han had fallen asleep in a state of exhaustion, that did not mean they were dead to the world; once the infected moved the vehicle, the two of them would definitely know.

"Um..." Lin Yi bit into a sandwich and spoke with his mouth full.

"How about we leave here first and tour B City? We can just go see if that barrier has disappeared."

Still, no one in the room replied; even Lin Yi was unclear on what Ning Chen was thinking.

Having run through all possibilities again, Ning Chen decisively stood up and headed for the driver's seat.

Since some things could not be verified now, he would leave the puzzle for later and first do what could be done.

After Ning Chen left the sofa, Xiao Han also stood up; he stretched, walked toward Ning Chen, then turned right and sat in the passenger seat.

The two adults in the team had given up the discussion; what should the remaining three kids do?

Of course, they should just do what needed doing; even if they discussed it more, it would be useless.

Ning Chen started the vehicle; he intended to do as Lin Yi suggested, go check the barrier, and then circle the entire B City.

The vehicle started, backed out of the factory, and the warm sun shone down, bathing the entire RV in warmth and brightness.

No matter how apocalyptic this world became, the sun would still rise.

Relying on his memory, Ning Chen drove to the barrier's location.

He drove slowly, letting the vehicle gradually move forward.

The vehicle was still blocked from the outside; unexpected yet expected.

That woman had revealed earlier that this barrier was made by that high-level infected; since that high-level infected was not dead, there was definitely no way.

Ning Chen got out of the car and approached the barrier.

Although this barrier seemed transparent and shapeless, looking closely, one could still see the flowing light within it.

Ning Chen tried touching the barrier with his hand; surprisingly, his hand could pass through.

This was a major development; immediately, Ning Chen stepped further inside, and his entire arm had already crossed the barrier.

But as he went lower, Ning Chen clearly felt an invisible "wall" blocking him.

Retracting his body, Ning Chen stared straight ahead, then activated his ability, reached out to touch this wall, and from his palm, his light-attribute ability spread outward, gradually covering the surroundings.

Ning Chen intended to see just how long this barrier was.

Slowly, Ning Chen realized that the barrier seemed to have no upper boundary, but to the right, it suddenly ended at one point.

Investigating further downward, at the point where it ended, there was a very dense forest; that forest was extremely large, and it seemed to contain many creatures.

Retracting his ability, Ning Chen's forehead gathered a slight sheen of sweat; this was the first time he had used such a large-scale exploration ability.

However, the degree of fatigue seemed better than he imagined; at least now he had only broken out in sweat and did not feel particularly exhausted.

It seemed that killing infected before had been very useful; at least it had truly trained them.

Back in the RV, Ning Chen told everyone his discovery; this finding was undoubtedly good.

That high-level infected was likely on the other side of B City; if this barrier required killing him to disappear, that would be sheer fantasy.

And now that they possessed an exit, it was good no matter how you looked at it.

"By the way, why doesn't that high-level infected's barrier cover that forest? Isn't that very strange?"

Lin Yi, propping up his chin, voiced his doubt.

"There is only one possibility: that forest contains something more powerful than him, preventing him from covering it with the barrier."

"Hiss, Brother Ning, if even that high-level infected is afraid, can we still go? I think the opponent wouldn't be afraid of ordinary animals either."

Lin Yi's meaning was clear: that forest was definitely not just ordinary animals.

"Let's try; how can we know it won't work without trying? Moreover, that forest is harmful to that group of infected, but that doesn't mean it is harmful to us; besides, with my and Ning Chen's abilities, we can protect you."

Xiao Han sat on the sofa like a second uncle, legs crossed, speaking very casually.

Yet it was precisely this indifferent attitude that made people feel reassured.

After all, if the big shots in the team also showed concern, the matter would probably not be that simple.

"But I think we should still look for other methods; in an unknown forest, everything is difficult regardless; if something blocks us inside, our vehicle might not be able to get out."

Facing Huo Jinglin, who had remained silent until now, spoke up.

Facing Huo Jinglin's words were not without reason; just like that saying, humans must always hold respect for nature, for compared to nature, humanity is far too insignificant.

Humanity's existence in this world is not because they conquered nature, but because nature chose to coexist peacefully with humans.

Ning Chen decided to first check the situation in this half of B City; most importantly, they needed to replenish their food supplies.

The food in the RV seemed almost running out.

Circling the entire B City with the vehicle, Xiao Han and Facing Huo Jinglin took turns scouting the places they passed.

Returning to the barrier after one full circle, Ning Chen looked at Xiao Han and Facing Huo Jinglin as they retracted their abilities.

"No infected found."

Since no infected were found, their sweep was about to begin.

Ning Chen stopped the vehicle house by house; along the streets of B City stood rows of small Western-style houses, suggesting the residents of B City were quite wealthy.

The group of five, like bandits, entered these small Western-style houses to select items.

The wealthy people in these small Western-style houses mostly had private chefs.

The vast kitchens could store quite a lot of food.

Various canned goods, and the refrigerator also held quite a bit of frozen meat.

He searched house by house, and the warehouse was basically filled to the brim with food.

The refrigerator was not that large, so Did Ning Chen placed various drinks inside it, while the rest, including meat, went into the warehouse; immediately after, he adjusted the warehouse temperature to below zero.

He used the entire warehouse as a large-scale cold storage facility.
