Chapter 1164: Chapter 683: Kill Your Cowardly Self and Become a Hero!
Return countdown 160:00:00.
It’s only been eight hours since this crossing.
For the first time, Qing Chen felt that travel was so unbearable.
"Move forward!" Qing Chen said coldly.
Over six hundred refugees followed him quickly across the road, arriving at the entrance of the bank that Qing Chen had already set as a target. The door was open, and inside were seven ghastly white skeletons.
"Dream Qian, if any rats are watching you, you must tell me," Qing Chen said.
He and Zhang Mengchan stood at the entrance, each using their sixth sense to confirm if they were being tailed by rats.
"Speed up, speed up, run, don’t talk!" Qing Chen kept arranging the refugees to enter the bank’s door and only after everything was safe did he and Zhang Mengchan flash inside.
In such an environment, Qing Chen could finally relax for a moment.
After eight continuous hours of high-intensity nerve work, Qing Chen felt a wave of fatigue: "Liu Chong, go destroy the backup generator in the bank to prevent anyone from losing their mind and starting it, which would attract the rat tide. We’ll rest here for four hours, and once the rat tide moves, we’ll directly break into the down-district three."
Liu Chong asked, "Boss, hasn’t down-district three fallen?"
Qing Chen thought for two seconds: "It won’t fall, there are trustworthy people guarding it."
The Parents’ Meeting wouldn’t let him down.
Qing Chen turned to everyone and said, "During the rest period, no loud noises or approaching the gates. When it’s time to leave, I’ll notify you. No one is to touch the things in the pantry without my permission."
The refugees sat on the cold floor of the bank, and a few adult males, using their physical strength, seized the only few long benches in the bank to lie on, completely ignoring the elderly and children.
Qing Chen merely glanced and did not intervene.
At this time, sounds of struggle came from the bank manager’s office, seemingly a woman being gagged, trying hard to cry for help.
Someone lowered their voice inside and said, "You also saw that I helped everyone resist the rat tide. If you encounter danger on the road, I can save you. The world is already chaotic, you have to rely on a man."
Although the voice was soft, it did not escape the ears of Zhang Mengchan and Qing Chen, blessed by the Dragon Fish.
Qing Chen, without even opening his eyes, said, "Xiao Mengqiu, go break the man’s arm in the room, gag him... remember to gag him first."
Kite Falcon Liu Chong was stunned for a moment. The boss actually didn’t let him take action but ordered that 14-year-old boy to handle it.
And the young boy seemed accustomed to it, as if he didn’t feel anything of it.
Zhang Mengchan nodded, picked up a fire extinguisher from the ground, and walked into the room.
Soon, a muffled groan came from inside, then it abruptly stopped.
Female star Wang Wenwen gathered her torn clothes and hobbled out of the office, covering her mouth and crying aside.
She had long lost her high heels and put on a pair of dead person’s sneakers on the road, which didn’t fit well.
Zhou Jieyi witnessed this scene and directly walked toward Qing Chen but was stopped by Liu Chong in advance. Liu Chong turned around and looked at Qing Chen: "Boss?"
Liu Chong was a sensible person. He could have allowed Zhou Jieyi to leave, but he was worried the boss might have other plans...
Zhou Jieyi asked Qing Chen across Liu Chong, "Can you protect me? I can..."
Qing Chen calmly said with eyes closed: "Leave."
He didn’t even listen to what the other person had to say, nor did he offer any explanation or comfort.
Zhou Jieyi pursed her lips, looked again at the previous bodyguard Liu Chong, but saw he was no longer in his usually submissive manner, staring at her seriously: "Please leave."
At this time, Zhang Mengchan returned with the fire extinguisher, glanced at Zhou Jieyi, and said, "Don’t do unnecessary things, the boss will naturally save you."
Night fell, Qing Chen originally intended to go out first and scout the way, but at this moment, he suddenly heard the rat tide marching from afar.
He suddenly raised his arm, and everyone in the bank lobby instinctively held their breath.
Qing Chen slowly got up and stood in front of the bank’s door, looking out through the blinds.
He saw the dense rat tide rushing straight towards down-district three.
Qing Chen was stunned for a moment.
The rat tide was going to attack down-district three!
If Xiao San and the others followed their plan, down-district three must be the toughest bone to crack in the entire city.
And now, the Rat King was commanding part of the rat tide to free up and attack down-district three, indicating the rat tide was about to enter the third stage!
At this time, Qing Chen even saw that although City 10 had entered early spring, snowflakes were falling from the sky, and the temperature had dropped quite a bit from daytime.
A spring cold spell had arrived.
Qing Chen recalled weather data he had seen, showing the likelihood of a spring cold spell occurring in the Federation was 57% in recent years, with nighttime temperatures dropping below 3 degrees, making it very difficult for the Parents’ Meeting to resist the rat tide.
Spring snow would turn into mud on the ground immediately.
Falling on people’s bodies, it would soak through their clothes.
He wonders if the Parents’ Meeting had prepared?
...

Return countdown 144:00:00.
Midnight.
Behind the Ninth district front line, a family member sat down against a sandbag, biting on a protein bar that looked like a candle, gazing up at the Great Snow in the sky, and said softly, "Unlucky."
He said to Xiao San sitting on the ground beside him: "Third Brother, quickly find some warm clothing for the family members, without wearing something, everyone won’t endure the night. Also, let the refugees take some into the wilderness, or the people who crossed the Key of Gate will freeze to death outside!"
