Chapter 722: Zombified Cockroach ( 4 )
After everyone packed up, they boarded the car. As the children climbed into the car, Yuyu suddenly turned around and rushed toward Du Beiye.
She grabbed at her pants and stared into her eyes. Her expression went blank for a few seconds before she regained her senses.
The next moment, she hugged her leg as if it were a tree and refused to let go. "Sister, please come with me," she begged.
Du Beiye’s body stiffened when she felt the soft, warm body hugging her leg. She wanted to kick her away, but when she saw her thin body, she held back her urge and said coldly, "Let go."
"No! Sister, you have to come with me or I won’t let go!" Yuyu insisted.
Mo Junjie watched them with amusement. This was the first time he saw her look so flustered. For an unknown reason, he found her cute.
They were locked in a deadlock, with neither of them willing to back down. When Du Beiye thought of throwing this little creature away, she suddenly heard her sister say, "Beiye, just go with them."
Turning around, she saw her sister’s smiling face. Although she was unwilling, she still nodded and said, "Let go. I will go with you."
Yuyu stared at her and asked, "Sister, you are not lying to me, are you?"
"I won’t lie. Let go."
After hesitating for a moment, Yuyu finally came down from her leg, but she still grabbed her pants tightly, as if fearing that she would run away the moment she let go.
With a leg pendant stuck to her, Du Beiye could only resign herself to her fate and climb into the car. Mo Junjie was in a good mood and said, "We are leaving now."
Sitting in the back seat, Du Beiye sat with a cold face as she was surrounded by the children. Feng Yun was sitting in the passenger seat while Feng Zirui sat across from her.
The Phantom Team members watched them leave before they boarded their cars and drove out of the gas station.
After everyone had left, Jiao Lizhi raised her hand and collected the underground tanks into her space. As soon as a loud sound echoed in the area, a massive, deep hole appeared in the ground.
Seeing this, Jin Xuyan asked, "Ah Zhi, we drove past a lot of gas stations before. Why didn’t you take those underground tanks, too?"
Jiao Lizhi shook her head and replied, "Those gas stations are located in the green and blue areas. There are people living there. If we took all of the gas, they wouldn’t have any way to travel. The number of gas stations in the red zone areas is more than enough for our bases to use."
Hearing this, Jin Xuyan said nothing and opened the car door for her. While he drove the car, he recalled those hypocrites’ words before. They said that his fiancée was greedy and selfish for taking everything away.
If it were they who had such a space, he believed that they would take everything away, even in the green and blue areas. They wouldn’t leave even a scrap for others, let alone leave behind so many supplies.
To be able to stay true to her heart even when facing such temptations was not easy. Indeed, talking was easier than doing.
Meanwhile, in the distant land of the Tsardom Empire, chaos erupted in the city near the southern border of the Empire. The people living in this city were not only locals of the Tsardom Empire, but also people from Huaxia.
Due to the city’s location next to the north border of Huaxia, many Huaxia citizens came to this city to do business or simply to visit.
When the apocalypse arrived, the local government locked down the city, and the central government issued a military order to block all borders. Entry and exit were prohibited.
Although the central government lost most of its higher-ups, it ruled the kingdom with an iron fist and managed to keep the law intact.
However, the empire ruled over a vast area, and with the loss of so many soldiers and civilians, along with the collapse of communication, it was difficult for the central government to maintain control.
This small city was one of the cities that did not receive help from the central government or was not under its management.
At this moment, a large group of people gathered at the public hall while soldiers and ability-users fired their guns and abilities from the high wall. The public hall consisted of several buildings, with the tallest being a ten-story building.
After the ability-users emerged, the local government acted swiftly and hired them to work as guards and to build the high wall while clearing the zombies. Thanks to the vice mayor’s quick decision, they managed to survive the first and second rain.
Standing on the highest floor, a man in his thirties looked out the window and saw a swarm of black cockroaches the size of watermelons surrounding the wall with some of them flying toward the top of the wall. Just looking at them gave him goosebumps.
Turning to the side, he looked at the young man and asked, "Vice Mayor, the number of zombie cockroaches is too much. We can only hold on for three more days at most."
The young man thought for a moment and said, "Mobilize the people to fix the wall. We can’t let the wall be broken."
"Even if we manage to keep blocking the zombie cockroaches, our supplies are running low. We can’t survive for long."
The young man closed his eyes when he heard this. After a while, he clenched his fists and muttered softly, "Is this the end? No, there must be a way."
Just after he said these words, they heard a broken voice coming from the radio that was constantly letting out static sounds.
"...vor... area, please respond."
Both of them were startled when they recognized the words and exchanged glances. This was Huaxia’s national language.
