I thought the soldiers would be fine if they covered their skin from the fog.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, you said going through hazmat suits?\" Tianci asked, interrupting him from rambling on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, isn’t that what you’re implying?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Living particle in the fog shouldn’t be able to go through a hazmat suit... How could your troops be affected by it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun looked a little puzzled by Tianci’s answer, as he expected her to say the complete opposite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you show me how your soldiers went inside? Or like just give me an example of what the hazmat suit looks like?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Um... Sure. Let’s go to the tent over there. Han Bang, can you wait over here for a second?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the two of them entered the tent, Xiaoyun quickly cloned the same hazmat suit he had given to the soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here... Could this go against the fog?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tianci quickly examined the front and the back, only to find it to be perfectly sealed with every possible corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything seemed to be fine until she looked up at the head cover and noticed the air filter system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaoyun, the hazmat suit doesn’t have its own SCBA? Only an\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s SCBA?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus... Like an air canister that supplies its own air rather than just filtering the air.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The fog can’t be filtered?\" Xiaoyun questioned, his mind starting to realize what went wrong as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It could be filtered in theory. But in most cases, a small fraction of it still goes through, which is more than enough to cause the prolonged exposure effect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fuck. I need to go back to Luoping to get one with a whole air can. This is going to take way too long.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why don’t you send a message to Houqin? She can have someone deliver it here instead of needing you to go back and forth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re right. I’ll be right back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun ran straight out of the tent, Han Bang was left a little confused as he saw Tianci standing there with a hazmat suit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did Commander figure out what the issue is?\" Han Bang curiously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think so... Ahem, Han Bang, can you bring me to Li Qing? My lab needs a few more samples for tests.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back over an open table near the HQ tent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What did Houqin say?\" Xiaoyun urgently asked as the radio operator took off his headphones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She said the supplies are on their way. It will arrive in an hour or so, assuming nothing bad interrupts them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good... Wait, how many pairs did she send?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you want me to ask her again?\" The radio operator asked, getting ready to put his headphones back on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Never mind. It’s fine. Thank you for your work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun left the radio operator alone, his mind was overjoyed. There was still hope for him to salvage the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All he had to do now was wait. Just waiting and waiting until the new hazmat suit arrives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An hour later...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Commander Chen! The supplies are here!\" A soldier reported out loud as he rushed into the HQ tent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank god. Finally.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Remember what I said earlier,\" Yiming warned before Xiaoyun and Han Bang could leave the tent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the two of them exited the HQ tent, they quickly followed the soldier out towards the military base entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Xiaoyun saw the semi-truck parked in the distance, they were a little surprised when they saw five people coming out of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of them were already wearing the new hazmat suits, and they walked over to the two of them with a rifle in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Houqin thought it would be faster if she had soldiers coming here with the hazmat suit already on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hazmat suit soldier in the front replied, seemingly to be the leader of the five-man squad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s fine... Follow me, I need to show you guys the path you need to take to get over to this rescue mission.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the five hazmat-suited soldiers followed the two of them towards the HQ tent, Xiaoyun suddenly felt the voice sound a little familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It reminded him of someone. But he couldn’t pinpoint it exactly, as the hazmat suit heavily distorted the voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These are the new hazmat suits?\" Yiming questioned as he watched the seven of them enter the HQ tent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah. It has its own air system. This should be practically fog-proof... Okay, you guys can see this map here, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All five of the hamzat soldier nodded, their head tilting slightly forward to see through the narrow head cover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This will be your entrance point to the fog... All you have to do is keep walking forward down this road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, when you see a park, turn north and keep walking down... Around this outdoor mall should be where Lingang and his men are located.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All five of the soldiers nodded again before Yiming walked over to the cabinet nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here’s a map in case you guys get lost... Just walk towards any direction after you guys find the trapped soldiers, all the exits we have people guarding there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The five of them nodded again as Xiaoyun asked his last question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One last thing. How long can your air canister work for?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thirty to forty minutes.\" A different hazmat soldier answered this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s definitely enough. Okay, you all can hop back on the truck. I’ll personally drive you guys there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun parked the semi-truck right outside the fog, the soldiers in hazmat suits quickly exited before checking their equipment one last time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Remember, all you need to do is rescue Lingang and his men. You don’t need to do anything else other than that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you guys can’t find them, just retreat immediately. Your own survival is still the highest priority.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, sir!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a salute towards them, the soldier saluted back before reaching down to some sort of valve next to their sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hopefully nothing goes wrong this time...\" Han Bang murmured as he watched from the passenger seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun quickly hopped back into the semitruck, starting up the engine before driving back to the base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>----\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As groups of hazmat-suited soldiers with heavy backpacks walk down the streets, they are all immediately stunned by the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sheer amount of reddness and the disturbing piles of flesh from the buildings to the ground felt extremely uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It almost felt like they were entering hell, with the only thing missing being some devils with horns attacking them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Major Wu, how did you convince Miss Houqin to let you go on this trip?\" A soldier suddenly asked through his muffled voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was assigned, and that’s the end of the story... Why are you asking that?\" The lead soldier answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Never mind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After walking for a bit, the five of them soon arrived at the park that had a little fountain right in the middle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hm, how weird... Does anyone see any trace of fighting or anything? Or any traces of human activity?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All four of them shook their head, as they hadn’t seen anything that could remotely resemble normal the entire trip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s continue then... Yecheng, can you tell where the north is?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the soldier, 2nd in charge, took out a compass, he soon found it to be broken as it spun in a random direction nonstop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The compass isn’t working.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Crap... Actually, it’s fine. We came from the southern entrance. We just have to head towards the opposite of where we came from.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person in the front quickly made their decision as they led everyone forward, walking down the path once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are those tentacles?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soldier in the back commented as she could feel a little uncomfortable watching it moving left and right in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t mess with it. They are not a part of our mission... No more talking, I don’t want to attract any unwanted attention.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone instantly fell into silence, leaving only their footsteps as the only sound as it echoed down the empty streets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Major Wu! Something is in the distance.\" A soldier suddenly reported after seeing through the fog for a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone, get ready to fight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the lead soldier raised their rifle, the other four all raised it as well, as they could all see the shadow at this point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, they began approaching it closer and closer, walking in silence as their footstep completely vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the... fuck?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soldier who saw the shadow first was stunned in place, soon followed by the other four as they all got close enough to see the shadowy object.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a massive sphere made out of flesh, stretching from one side of the street to the other, blocking the entire road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Endless lines of flesh were seemingly connected to it, with even redder fog being released from various holes around the sphere.\u003C\u002Fp>",1505,"2026-06-10T06:59:53.365Z",1,"novelbin.me","2738bef635e5b23451cc5d3e315894ae1f02eeb6e9c7c85b5e223cf10292e22b","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-824","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-823",829,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-creation-cover.jpg"]
