Chapter 654: Unexpected Discovery ( 1 )
At eight o’clock in the evening, the Phantom Team used rock, paper, scissors to decide who would do the night watch. In the end, it was Chen Wenwu, Di Hansheng, Su Ruanyi, Xiao Qi, Chen Qianfeng, and Fu Guai who got the task.
They split into two teams and would take turns to do the night watch. Since they were not sleepy, Fu Guai, Su Ruanyi, and Xiao Qi decided to do the first half.
The three of them sat on the rooftop of the supermarket and looked at the sky. Tonight, there was no red moon or stars. Feeling bored, Xiao Qi took out a pack of spicy strips from his space. This was taken from the hypermarket today.
When Fu Guai saw the snack, he stared at him for a long time. Under his intense gaze, Xiao Qi could only take out several packs of spicy strips and give them to him.
While the two of them gnawed on the snack, Su Ruanyi suddenly asked, "Brother Xiao, do you think this apocalypse will end?"
Hearing this, Xiao Qi shook his head and replied, "I do not know."
Su Ruanyi felt depressed when she heard his words. But after a moment of pause, she heard him continue, "Although I do not know if we will be able to end this apocalypse and return to the peaceful era, I believe that as long as we never give up, there will always be hope."
"Brother Xiao, do you not want to search for your family?" she asked again.
Since she joined the team, she had only seen Shen Jinzhe’s family, Xiao Qi’s aunt, Feng Yun’s family, and Li Sikai’s distant relatives. She did not know about the rest of the members’ families.
This time, Xiao Qi did not reply to her for a long time. When she thought that he did not want to talk about this topic, he suddenly said, "Before the second rain, our team went to the Capital to find the families of our members."
"Most of our families stayed in the Capital and nearby cities. I thought that as long as we went there, we could find them. But when we arrived in the Capital, the entire city had turned into a zombie city."
"All the survivors were living in an underground base, and after searching for a long time, I still could not find my family. Although I did not want to believe that my family had died, the fact is in front of me."
After saying this, Xiao Qi looked into the distance and muttered softly, "Even if I cannot meet my parents, I hope they are still alive and managed to escape to another city."
Su Ruanyi felt bad for asking this question and tried to comfort him. "Brother Xiao, we are going to visit other places. Maybe you will be able to meet your parents during our trip."
Xiao Qi was not someone who liked to drown himself in sadness. After a moment, he regained his spirit and smiled. "I know."
After the brief conversation, they went silent, each lost in their thoughts. Even Fu Guai could not help but think about his comrades who were locked in the Facility. He did not know if he wanted them to be alive or dead.
For him, even if living was painful, he did not want to die before he killed those bastards. But lots of his friends chose to end their lives rather than continue living under the torture of being experimental subjects.
In the silent night, another day had passed.
Early in the afternoon, Xie Changqian and his team members were woken up by the sound of the Phantom Team doing their combat training outside.
Hearing the sound of fighting, they thought that zombies were coming. Because of this, everyone was startled and quickly picked up their weapons. When they rushed out, they saw Jin Xuyan instructing his members while they were sparring with each other.
Seeing them coming out, Jin Xuyan checked his watch and said, "It is enough for today. Take a rest. We will leave after breakfast."
"Understood," the members replied in unison.
Due to their training, everyone was drenched in sweat. Since there were only a few cubicles in the bathroom and the smell was unpleasant, they decided to make a makeshift.
They went to the area behind the supermarket, and Zhang Yuan let Su Ruanyi create a building with an area of thirty square meters. The area was then divided into two rooms, one was ten square meters, another was twenty square meters.
When she was done, Xiao Qi took out several big basins from his space and placed them in the public bathroom while Wen Kai and Wen Mo created a massive bathtub.
After everything was ready, it was Chen Qianfeng’s turn to fill the bathtub with water. At the same time, Shen Jinzhe used his fire to warm the water.
During this period, the members had already undressed and rubbed their bodies clean. When the water was ready, they quickly soaked in the bathtub and let out a sigh of relief.
At the same time, Jiao Lizhi and the female members were washing their hair in the next room. While they were soaking, Du Beiye asked, "Sister, do you have more clean clothes?"
Hearing this, Jiao Lizhi asked, "Why? You ran out of clothes?"
They were fighting zombies every day, so it was normal for their clothes to be torn and need to be changed.
Du Beiye nodded and replied, "All of my clothes are stained with zombie blood and rotten flesh. I do not have time to wash them yet."
When she heard this, Jiao Lizhi smiled and said, "Just give me your clothes. I will help you wash them."
As soon as she finished her words, Du Beiye took out all of her dirty clothes from her inventory and piled them up in the corner of the room. In an instant, the room was filled not only with a rancid smell but also a sour scent of sweat.
They pinched their noses, and Jiao Lizhi quickly stored them in her space.
