Long before killing the Mutated Hen, Shen Yuan had cut a large piece of meat for A Hu to eat, and it had also drunk quite a bit of chicken blood, so it wasn't hungry.
Shen Yuan walked to the entrance of the Communication Base Station with a chicken leg in hand and then swiped his card to open the door.
"Wow! Boss, you still have a key card? Let me go in and take a look... Well, never mind, I won't go in." Chen Letian exclaimed in surprise, but seeing Shen Yuan's cold gaze and the blood-stained Shovel in his hand, he swallowed his words.
Now everyone knew that Shen Yuan had a gun on him, along with at least three bullets. He was skilled and had a terrifying cat, making him someone not to be trifled with.
Shen Yuan didn't close the door because he still wanted to know what was happening outside.
He originally intended to give the chicken leg to Chi Qinghua, but she still hadn't woken up.
She seemed perfectly fine except for being unconscious; he didn't know why.
"Azure Mantis? Azure Mantis?" Shen Yuan patted her arm and then her face, but there was no response.
What was going on?
Shen Yuan still couldn't figure it out.
With no other choice, he had to close the door again, leaving A Hu to guard outside, and then he used the military High-Powered Telescope to continue observing.
Zombies had already spread throughout the Industrial Zone.
The military had completely withdrawn, heading towards Jinling.
There are not many Mutant Beasts in the Industrial Zone. Shen Yuan looked for a long time but only saw a dozen Mutant Cows at the Dairy Farm.
The Mutated Chickens from the Diguo Chicken Restaurant were all gone, and that Mutated Dog was also missing.
Aside from them, he didn't see a single living person.
Someone must be hiding, but certainly not many.
This Industrial Zone has already become the domain of Zombies.
"Actually, we could consider getting a car and then rushing out. If it's an SUV, these Zombies wouldn't be able to stop us. Shen Brother, Chen Brother, what do you think?" Luo Jindou said as he walked over.
There was an SUV downstairs worth over three million, belonging to Mr. Li of Chenjin Furniture. However, the doors were tightly locked, and the keys were missing.
Luo Jindou's words stirred the interest of the others.
Indeed, what was the point of staying here? Aside from this Mutated Hen, there was no food, and they would starve sooner or later. Moreover, they constantly had to worry about whether a Zombie would charge in or if a Mutant Beast would appear; it was truly... very difficult.
"Pengcheng is neither too close nor too far from Jinling, just over three hundred kilometers. If we get on the highway and everything goes smoothly, we could arrive in three hours. That place is the headquarters of the Eastern Theater Command, with military strength ranking high in the country; even the troops from Pengcheng have retreated there. As long as we get there, we'll be safe," Luo Jindou continued.
His words quickly won the agreement of the two ladies.
However, it was clear that Shen Yuan had the most say here. Moreover, Chen Letian and Xu Lixing were relatively closer to Shen Yuan. The former was not worth mentioning; as for the latter, Shen Yuan had saved him. A seventeen-year-old high school student whose worldview had not yet been tainted by society understood gratitude.
Shen Yuan also felt a bit uneasy.
It was indeed unsafe here. If he could go to Jinling, he would definitely want to go there; it should be safer than here.
The problem was that the journey might not be safe either. Various Zombies and Mutant Beasts could appear at any moment.
Moreover, there were bound to be car accidents everywhere now, and the highway might not be passable. What would happen if the vehicle couldn't get through?
Shen Yuan...
He didn't want to take risks for the time being.
"Let's wait until we find the key; there's only one vehicle here, that SUV," Shen Yuan said noncommittally, his tone flat.
After eating and drinking enough, Shen Yuan sat on the spare battery of the Communication Base Station, extending his left hand with his palm facing up.
A faint glow still lingered, not appearing any brighter than before.
He didn't know what had happened to this hand, but he knew that he wanted to survive well in this dreadful apocalypse, and this hand might be his greatest support.
He felt as if he had lost a bit more weight; his muscles were gradually recovering to their pre-decline state, with clear lines and a sense of strength.
His condition was better than before, and his strength seemed to have increased a bit. Absorbing the heat from Mutant Beasts was beneficial, gradually strengthening his body.
It can also strengthen the bodies of others.
This point has already been understood by others, so they all try to eat as much Mutated Hen Meat as possible until they are full.
The battery of the watch is less than half, and even in standby mode, it can only last for a day and a night. Fortunately, the Communication Base Station has not lost power yet, so it can still be charged for the time being.
Shen Yuan does not dare to let the watch run out of power; he hopes to contact Red Sister as soon as possible, although the hope is slim.
The sun gradually sets. Luo Jindou is talking with the two women nearby, and then they walk over to say something to Chen Letian and Xu Lixing. Perhaps they are persuading them to find the car keys and leave this place quickly.
Chen Letian's reaction is not strong; he occasionally glances this way. Xu Lixing initially shakes his head but then remains silent.
None of this matters.
Shen Yuan raises his head, his expression not looking good.
It is now one-thirty in the afternoon, the hottest time of the day, yet suddenly there is a chill.
The sky has darkened.
Dark clouds drift in from afar, reaching overhead in half an hour, and then it starts to rain.
At first, it is just a light drizzle, but after ten minutes it turns into heavy rain, then into a downpour, and finally into a torrential rain.
This is not rain; it is clearly the Heavenly River overflowing!
It was too intense, with the water pouring down like columns, very cold, cold enough to make one shiver.
The dense raindrops pushed the air away, making it somewhat difficult to breathe in the heavy downpour.
"Boss! Let us in! Otherwise, we will drown!" Chen Letian shouted, hugging his arms and shivering in the wind and rain.
The temperature suddenly dropped by more than ten degrees; the outdoor temperature was definitely not above 10 degrees, perhaps only around 5 degrees. No one knew why it was like this, but it was very cold.
Very cold.
Chen Letian, Xu Lixing, Luo Jindou, and two women: Zhang Huanxue and Yuan Yulu, all stood outside, trembling.
If this continued, they would really fall ill.
The heavy rain had been falling for half an hour; who knows how much longer it would last.
Shen Yuan stood at the entrance of the Communication Base Station, while A Hu stood inside, not allowing anyone to enter.
Chi Qinghua only trusted Shen Yuan, A Hu only trusted Chi Qinghua and Shen Yuan, and Shen Yuan…
The most trusted Old Director was already dead, and then the most trusted Red Sister was not here; he only trusted himself.
The apocalypse has arrived, breeding too much ugliness. He has a gun, and there's no guarantee that no one is keeping an eye on him. If these people were to enter the Base Station, who could guarantee that no one would use Chi Qinghua to threaten him?
To judge a gentleman's heart with a petty person's mindset?
In this situation, what difference does it make to act this way?
Shen Yuan did not dare to take the risk.
When he is awake, he is not afraid of these people, but he cannot stay awake all the time; there will be moments when he falls asleep. At that time, besides A Hu, who else can protect him?
Shen Yuan does not have paranoia, but having seen too much ugliness throughout his life, he has long been accustomed to staying vigilant at all times.
One should not harbor malicious intent but must always be wary of others!
"The heavy rain has washed away those corpses into charcoal; you all go inside to avoid the rain!" Shen Yuan was ruthless, throwing those people outside.
Bang!
He closed the iron door because the wind had picked up, fearing that it would blow the rain into the Base Station. If it caused a short circuit or even an electric leak, it would be troublesome.
What he did would indeed be condemned by others, but he did not believe that the Communication Base Station was the only refuge. Those zombie corpses had indeed been washed away by the heavy rain and posed no danger.
