Chapter 1247: then translation of title

Let's go, there should be no Mutant around here.

We shouldn't think about these anymore, trust the country. After the Third Fourth Rank returns, the chaos is only temporary.

He stuffed the necklace back into his collar, the team Captain smiled and gestured for the members to follow him directly.

As for the future, he firmly believed it would get better.

The Capital Military Region is now much better than when the Apocalypse first broke out. With the emergence of a large number of high Fourth Rank Awakened Ones, the corpse tide besieging them has been cleared considerably. Especially under unknown factors, that group of monsters also doesn't seem to take the initiative to attack them much.

Every global event is a good thing for the Huaxia war zone.

Believe this time, they can also achieve victory.

Especially, he had heard that Long An, a faction in a better situation than theirs, supposedly even launched a satellite a few days ago!

To him, this was simply exciting good news!

Irrelevant to stance.

This news made him constantly feel that everything seemed to be recovering to before the Apocalypse; perhaps this disaster could really end...

"Xiao Wu, what are you looking at?"

"Any abnormalities?"

After confirming there were no Mutant traces around, the Captain waved his hand signaling the members to follow him. Noticing the member who always looked toward the window, he couldn't help but frown.

The scout Xiao Wu was the second youngest Awakened One in the team; because he was too young, he should have been called Lao Wu but became Xiao Wu.

Although his strength isn't strong, his reaction is extremely fast, and his talent is enhanced hearing, able to catch the faintest sounds at the limit of human capability.

In the intricate urban ruins, this ability is quite useful.

Raising his head, Xiao Wu's youthful face flashed with doubt, then he hesitated and shook his head.

"Nothing, Captain.."

"Maybe it's just bugs..."

While speaking, he couldn't help but turn his head to look behind again.

The sound was too faint; to the point that other team members thought it was an illusion. If it weren't for his hearing being abnormal enough, he probably wouldn't have paid attention.

That sound was as tiny as an ant crawling over a stone...

Mutant, even moving a bit is louder than this sound...

The Captain laughed it off after hearing it, then turned and flipped out.

It's not that he isn't cautious enough; rather, in this environment they often experience auditory hallucinations. And Xiao Wu is even more prone to startle. After all, the city is too quiet, like a huge tomb.

Footsteps were faint.

After looking at the map in his hand, the Captain gave it a few serious glances then casually put it away.

There should be an underground Shang Cheng beneath the ruins ahead.

It used to be a large Shang Cheng; maybe we can still find something edible.

Shang Cheng?

Captain, does that mean we can find some good stuff!?

Following behind, the team members' eyes lit up; the supermarket had food, not to mention many good things could be found. Everyday items that were ordinary before the Apocalypse now have value beyond imagination.

I wonder if we can find a few packs of sanitary pads..

I want to give it to Xiao Ya from our Seventh Team; this thing is even more useful than a diamond ring.

Subconsciously, a young team member gave a silly smile and muttered to himself.

It was as if he were fantasizing about returning to the Military Region with a big bag of sanitary pads, being surrounded by female soldiers.

Exactly.

Besides food, in the aftermath of the Apocalypse, the thing that most easily wins women's favor is this most inconspicuous item. Before the Apocalypse, luxury brands once coveted by women are now worthless after the Apocalypse.

Speaking of it is heartbreaking; a pack of sanitary pads usable during menstruation often decides life and death.

During those few days each month, no woman dares to go out, and no team dares to bring them to gather supplies. Even a slight trace of blood can ruin a team.

But if we don't go out, where is the food? In the Apocalypse, no one will look after the 'weak'.

Thus in this situation, many girls starve to death while unable to move during their period, and even during this time, some Survivor teams will directly abandon them.

Under these factors, among global Survivors, a brutal culture has also arisen because of this.

To avoid being abandoned, to be able to go out freely like men, many women force themselves to get pregnant and then abort, just to reduce menstruation time and survive as long as possible...

"You little brat.."

The Captain smiled helplessly, just about to continue saying something when, in an instant, a red afterimage suddenly occupied his entire field of vision.

Almost no time to react, only to see a gigantic mouth stretched to its limit suddenly appear before his eyes, like a catfish swallowing a shrimp, it gulped down the entire team in one bite from head to tail.

"Ahhh!!!"

"Ahhh!!!"

Accompanied by the screams of flesh corroded by stomach acid and bones being crushed, within just a few seconds, the meat skin resembling a net bag quickly shrank, gradually returning to human shape.

Plop

Slowly standing up, the blood-soaked corpse, skin peeling like a flayed body, swayed as it rose, constantly spitting out Equipment and weapons from its normal-sized mouth.

In the blink of an eye, it vomited out all the indigestible system Equipment.

Standing silently in place, bald as a severely burned brain, its protruding eyes full of emptiness.

Swaying, after a moment, it seemed to recall something, and a hoarse whisper began.

Like a child speaking, it stared blankly into the distance, sucking its finger.

"Long... An"

"Long An..."

Repeating it over and over, as if the word carried some kind of power.

I don't know how long had passed, but the dazed creature suddenly halted, and a fleeting emotion flickered in its previously vacant eyes.

"Long An.."

"Lin.."

"Lin An!!"

As if greatly stimulated, upon hearing that name it instantly flew into a rage, its eyes brimming with extreme hatred.

"Aaaaah!!"

"Ice! Ice! Ice!!"

A line of blood tears slowly trickled down from its eyes.

If Lin An were present, he would surely be shocked to discover that this blood corpse, resembling a skinned frog, actually bore the aura of both an Awakened One and a Mutant.

And in its every gesture, it seemed to follow some strange rule.
