Chapter 500: The reaction came too fast!

~15 min read 2,819 words

"Now like this..."

Yang Xinci looked at the south and said: "How about we don't go to Absolute Justice today?"

It was too early to discuss whether human civilization would perish. Whether they could grab back the lost supplies was the key in front of them.

Zhang Su stood with one hand on his hip and looked at the south. Just as he was considering the pros and cons in his heart, his eyes narrowed, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

In the sky, crystal-clear snowflakes fell from the sky, fluttering and scattering, very beautiful. It's just a pity that the price of this beauty was too heavy!

"This... it's snowing so fast?"

Chen Hanzhou couldn't help but ask. He used his mechanical prosthetic limb to take off the glove of his other good hand, then reached out to the sky to catch the falling snowflakes. The icy touch melted in his palm, cooling all the way to his heart.

"Big brother, this snow... is not good!"

Zhao Dezhu also reached out to catch snowflakes. When his big hand opened, many snowflakes fell into his palm and quickly melted into small water droplets. They didn't have any weight, but they felt heavy on his heart!

From sunny to snowing, it took no more than a few minutes. This speed was simply too fast for people to react.

Everyone looked at Zhang Su. Whether to advance or retreat was all in his thought.

Having just finished off more than twenty combat personnel of Absolute Justice, plus the sudden arrival of mutation, if they chose to raid the Absolute Justice headquarters at this time, it was very likely to have an unexpected miraculous effect. It wasn't impossible to directly uproot the crazy force.

But now the snow had fallen. If nothing went wrong, zombies would be strengthened, so what should go wrong were humans. If they didn't encounter zombies, everything would be easy to say. Once encountered, things would become very bad! Zhang Su felt that even the destruction of ten Absolute Justices couldn't make up for an accident to his own people, not to mention that the challenge mission hadn't been completed, and the snow had added great difficulty to the challenge. He immediately stopped hesitating, shook his head and said: "This snow saved Absolute Justice. Count them lucky. We'll talk about it later!"

Some people from the auto park branch had strange expressions. This sounded so much like a villain's line, but I don't know why, it felt so cool. They also had such a tough day...

"Old Yang, you take the brothers directly to the kindergarten side, all of you go!"

Zhang Su didn't taste everyone's strange expressions and was seriously deploying.

"Ah... this, don't want such a large piece of land?"

In Yang Xinci's inherent thinking, once they withdrew from the auto park, it meant giving up the ruling power of a large area in the northwest of Qincheng, which would definitely be slowly eroded by Absolute Justice.

"What want or don't want, let the brothers have a place to settle down first!"

Zhang Su said very solemnly.

"Understood, understood..."

Hearing Zhang Su's words, Yang Xinci immediately understood the intention. The supplies on the auto park side were basically moved away, and people couldn't survive even if they went back. Moreover, what kind of situation would appear after this rain was unknown.

"Hehe! Our kindergarten branch has abundant materials, welcome brothers and sisters from the auto park branch!"

Liu Yao wasn't troubled by the need to receive more than a hundred people, but was somewhat excited, because this time he could finally rightfully anger Yang Xinci.

"Old Liu, don't be complacent, this snow..."

As he spoke, Zhang Su paused. The snowflakes had changed from the beginning, obviously becoming a bit larger. At the same time, he heard a strange noise coming from the direction of the road.

He was extremely serious and said: "I think this snow is not simple. All people from your two branches combined, don't mention the previous grievances at all. After going back, organize combat power at the first time, and use everything that can be used to prevent accidents!"

"Understood!"

Liu Yao saw Zhang Su looking so solemn for the first time and immediately realized that the situation was not simple; he quickly put away his joking attitude and nodded heavily.

"Alright, everyone go back to the road to find cars, see how many are still drivable. There are too many people, stuff as many as you can, don't blow them up!"

Zhang Su waved his hand, and everyone returned to the road.

The burning residue had been extinguished, but no one cleaned up the broken corpses. It looked terrifying, but after surviving for a few months in the apocalypse, people were basically immune to this.

"Brother Su!"

Wang Xin, who had been guarding the fire-breathing zombie box truck, saw everyone come back and walked to Zhang Su with a solemn face, saying softly: "Just now that thing had movement, damn it, so scary!"

"I know!"

The strange noise Zhang Su heard earlier came from the box truck holding the fire-breathing zombie. Usually, the fire-breathing zombie was very quiet, but just now, it struggled a few times inside, probably feeling something, and became a bit manic.

"Go, go back to the Le-Gou mall first!"

It wasn't hard to guess that this snow would definitely strengthen the zombies, but the degree of this strengthening was difficult to estimate and could not be intervened.

Currently, there was a difficult choice in front of them: whether to expose the fire-breathing zombie to the heavy snow for strengthening?

It seemed like a tangled question, but in fact, there was no room for choice, because no one could bear the serious consequences of the fire-breathing zombie getting out of control! Unless there were foolproof measures, unfortunately, there were none.

Or, the fire-breathing zombie had already been strengthened, but everyone didn't know it yet. Regardless, Zhang Su didn't dare to release its restraints just like that.

An explosion blew up more than thirty cars. In the end, only twenty were left drivable! The loading capacity of cars was very powerful. Ordinary cars had a limit of five people because of many factors, but if they really squeezed, let alone seven or eight, fifteen people could be stuffed in!

Excluding the box truck that couldn't carry people, the remaining cars managed to pull all more than one hundred people, which was very powerful.

While checking the vehicles, Zhang Su and his party didn't forget to take away the things that could be used on those cars, and by the way, they also searched for some weapons from Absolute Justice. Although they couldn't make up for the shortage of supplies, it was a meager trophy.

When the convoy left, white snow had already spread a layer of white gauze on the ground. The blood and severed limbs all over the ground looked particularly desolate and terrifying against the white snow, but after four months of baptism in the apocalypse, everyone was immune to this scene.

When the convoy leaving from the West Ring Road was driving on the road, the atmosphere in the Le-Gou mall also became heavy.

During the time after Zhang Su took Liu Yao, Yang Xinci, and others away, the Le-Gou mall was bustling with noise and excitement. No one felt uncomfortable because of changing leaders, and the announcement of various benefit policies made everyone happy.

The hot personnel statistics, the design of ventilation transformation, technical personnel discussing how to build communication networks... everything made everyone full of beautiful expectations for the future.

But in a blink of an eye, the winter sun was swallowed by dark clouds. The mall, which was already relatively dim, instantly became pitch black. It was not an exaggeration to say that one couldn't see one's fingers, and people a meter away instantly hid in the darkness! Cold and darkness were like fear genes engraved in human bones. Once this setting was activated, people would feel uneasy, not to mention that these two factors were gathered together. The happy atmosphere instantly vanished. It wasn't until Yu Wen arranged for Wu Baokang to light up several high-power lighting lamps that the atmosphere in the Le-Gou mall was eased.

"What the hell is this, damn!"

Lu Yubo leaned against the window and looked at the rolling black clouds in the sky. Even he, who was always heartless, felt a trace of unease.

"Is it going to snow..."

Tan Huajun sat on the side with a worried face.

"Sigh!" Liu Tianji looked outside through another small window and suddenly sighed, because he had already seen scattered snowflakes falling on the glass.

"Sister, it's snowing!"

Zhang Ya extinguished the cigarette butt, and her brows twisted into a knot. Her combat power wasn't weak, but that didn't mean she was warlike.

"This is not a good phenomenon."

Yu Wen and Li Zongkai both knew that precipitation would make zombies stronger, but they were helpless in the face of climate change. They could only watch the white snowflakes dancing in the dim sky, as if the whole earth was shivering.

All they could do was stabilize everyone's emotions and boost morale. Fortunately, the lingering power of Zhang Su and others was still there, plus Wu Baokang, Zhang Xin, and others led combat personnel and didn't leave, so they quickly knocked down the fearful emotions.

Tianmayu, when the dark clouds rolled in, most of the people left on the mountain gathered at Little Lucky. The change in weather made them feel worried, but under long-term training, everyone's emotions were relatively stable.

"This snow... I'm afraid it won't be small!"

Ma Changshou carried his hands behind his back, looking at the sky with a worried face, icy snowflakes hitting his face.

"It's been a long time since the last snow!"

Guo Dachao, who brought three scientific researchers from the Survivor Alliance back to the camp, was also at Little Lucky, leaning against the wall smoking. Yang Wenjie stood beside him, clutching his arm somewhat nervously. Thinking that zombies would have unknown changes due to precipitation, and humans were helpless about this, she felt frustrated in her heart.

"Dachao, how was Brother Su when you came back?"

Zhong Xiaoshan looked at Guo Dachao across several people. In this tense moment, she urgently longed for the backbone to be by her side.

"We were at the Le-Gou mall at that time, the situation was quite good. The acceptance of Brother Su by those people in the Survivor Alliance was very high. I guess Brother Su should have gone to Civilization Guardian by now. If he went west first, then the Little Eagle Society and the Apocalypse Group should have been handled."

Guo Dachao analyzed seriously. He didn't know that Yu Nuo made trouble later, but even if he knew, it didn't matter, without any waves.

"This snow is really..."

Zhao Xue reached out to catch a snowflake and muttered lightly, feeling emotional in her heart.

She was born in heavy snow, so she had this very common but commemorative name. She liked snow very much, but at this very moment, her feelings for snow were quite complicated.

"Attention everyone, attention everyone!"

Suddenly, a voice came from the walkie-talkie. It was Pei Lan on duty in the monitoring room. Her voice was urgent: "There is an abnormality with the zombies held in the scenic area, attention everyone, attention everyone..."

The number of zombies stored in the scenic area temple wasn't large, strictly controlled at one hundred, only less, not more, mainly used for zombie generators, scientific research, and taking thalamus.

The sudden news made everyone present feel a palpitation.

"No... it hasn't been long since it started snowing, is the reaction so rapid?"

Lu Leiyang took a deep breath, his face solemn, and subconsciously pulled out a steel bar from his waist. Perhaps a battle was about to break out.

Yang Liehuo took two puffs of his cigarette until only a sponge butt was left, licked his lips, and also stood up to take out his weapon. He didn't speak, but the meaning was very clear: it was time to do it.

"Everyone, it seems we have to solve those ghosts!"

Zhong Xiaoshan's eyes were firm, and she pulled out the weapon she carried with her. When in the camp, she was still used to carrying the big wrench given to her by Zhang Su. This weapon could always give her a kind of inexplicable courage.

"Sister-in-law, we have so many big men here, how can we let you do it? Brother Su won't scold us to death when he comes back..."

Wang Xingui patted his chest with a slap. He wasn't an official member of the Yama Legion, but he usually liked to follow his uncle Wang Longzhong. Wang Longzhong had long joined the Yama Legion. He claimed to have the identity of one-third of the Yama Legion.

Usually, Wang Xingui didn't use his uncle's identity as a member of the Yama Legion to bully others, so everyone was polite to him.

"Xingui is right, sister-in-law, let us men handle these rough jobs."

Wang Longzhong stood up leaning on a steel bar. He and Yang Liehuo, the two, could be said to have interpreted the four words "old and strong" very thoroughly. Both were fifty-something, and their combat power was not inferior to young men in their thirties.

"Words can't..."

Zhong Xiaoshan shook her head and looked at the crowd in the courtyard. Just as she was about to speak, Pei Lan's urgent voice came from the walkie-talkie again, even more urgent than just now.

"Not good, there is movement at the temple gate, it should be those zombies bumping, don't know how long it can hold!"

The temple gate had been reinforced, but there were no very good materials. It was no problem to prevent ordinary zombies before, but it might be powerless to deal with zombies after another round of strengthening.

"I'll go notify the reserve team to come over!"

Yang Liehuo's face was solemn. He took out the walkie-talkie and went to the side to contact the satellite village. The number of one hundred zombies in the scenic area wasn't large, but no one could guarantee what degree their ability had been strengthened to. Calling more people over was better than being sorry.

"Brother Su left big guys for us, if those ghosts are too fierce, we'll let Zero Zero Three go, and cut them all into meat mud!"

"Zero Zero Three is definitely no problem, but don't release Zero Zero Three unless it's a last resort. We don't have Dakun's flexible skills. If we can't control it in the end, we'll be finished!"

"Not so exaggerated, just one hundred zombies, we can handle it!"

There would be confidence if there were cautious people. Regardless, everyone had no intention of retreating.

"Everyone, Brother Su is opening up territory outside, we must flatten the things in the rear. Without further ado, grab your weapons, defend our own home!"

Zhong Xiaoshan's voice was relatively sharp, but the moment she led the way out of the homestay with determination, everyone present felt a force. That was the power of encouragement exclusive to the leader!

Usually, Zhong Xiaoshan mostly worked in logistics, giving people a relatively gentle feeling. But at this very moment, as the leader's woman, she picked up a weapon without shirk, and must not hide behind anyone!

With Zhong Xiaoshan's example, others didn't need to say more, and they all walked out of Little Lucky with weapons.

"Ma, Uncle Ma, we, are we going too?"

Yi Xiaoling saw everyone leaving one after another, and she pulled Ma Changshou's corner somewhat awkwardly.

Ma Changshou let out a long breath, smiled and patted Yi Xiaoling's arm: "Girl, we belong to pure technical workers, but don't forget the words that Boss Zhang often hangs on his lips. Our Tianmayu advocates all-people-in-arms. As long as we are not like Weijun, we must fight. Go, follow me!"

A thin layer of snow spread on the ground. Because the temperature was very low, it wouldn't melt, but it hadn't reached the degree of slipping. According to the time judgment, it could be as thick as a shoe sole in at most half an hour!

"Holy crap, so fierce..."

Whoosh whoosh whoosh, whoosh whoosh whoosh! In the parking lot, the zombies running around the generator seemed to have gone crazy, their eyes emitting a faint red light. Their running speed was more than twice as fast as usual. Sometimes the iron hoops they pulled even sparked, which was quite violent! When the group passed by the parking lot, they couldn't help but stop to watch, and were all moved by the appearance of these few zombies desperately "working"...
