Chapter 860: Red Cliff Base ( 4 )
Despite his level, Wen Hanyu’s space was only 300 square meters and 10 meters high. He was also only able to collect items within a 10-meter distance.
Perhaps due to the adrenaline, he didn’t feel dizzy after collecting so many items at once, like usual. Just after he put the last barrel of gasoline in his space, he heard the sound of an engine coming from outside.
When he rushed out, he saw an armored truck outside. Shang Xixi had already opened the passenger’s door and waved at him, "Hanyu, get in!"
The moment he sat down and closed the door, Shang Xixi stepped on the accelerator and drove toward the back gate. He quickly fastened his seatbelt and asked, "Xixi, where are we going?"
"The only way for us to leave is through the back gate. Afterward, we can only see as we go," Shang Xixi narrowed her eyes and grabbed the steering wheel tightly.
The next moment, the armored truck crashed into the zombie cockroaches and zombie rats coming from all directions.
Crack! Crash! Crash!
The armored truck was heavy and had been reinforced using the best materials. It could withstand not only high-power rifles, but it was also able to withstand missiles.
Out of several armored vehicles in the parking lot, she chose this truck because it had the best defense, and there were supplies stored in the back. They could sleep on the back seat too, so it would save them the trouble of searching for a safe place.
As the truck crushed the zombie cockroaches and zombie rats, the bumping was minimal. But what made Wen Hanyu afraid was that his girlfriend didn’t have a driving license, let alone a license to drive a truck.
Right now, he didn’t know which one was more dangerous, his girlfriend’s driving skills or the zombie animals outside.
While he was staring at the road full of zombie animals in horror, Shang Xixi didn’t dare to even blink. Her mind was tense, and her muscles were taut.
The reason why there were no zombie animals blocking the back gate was that there was a cliff there. The cliff was 50 meters high, and there was a river below.
If she had been riding in an ordinary car, she wouldn’t have dared to take the risk. But this armored truck’s wheels were able to handle all terrain.
Before the apocalypse, she saw military training broadcast on the news channel. A soldier drove this armored truck and climbed a steep cliff without a problem.
If they could go up, then she could go down. There was nothing impossible as long as she had the guts!
With this thought, when they finally saw the cliff, she stepped on the brake to slow down and drove directly toward the cliff.
Seeing this, Wen Hanyu widened his eyes and held onto the seatbelt tightly. He didn’t dare to even shout, fearing that he would disturb her and cause them to fall off the cliff.
Crash! Crack! Crack!
The sound of stones falling mixed with the roaring of the engine and the squealing noise of the wheels slipping echoed in their ears.
Shang Xixi looked calm, but she was also scared. Her clothes were drenched in cold sweat, and her face was pale.
After 10 minutes that felt like forever, the armored truck finally reached the bottom of the cliff. The river dried up during the summer, and when winter came, it was covered with a thick layer of ice.
The wheels of the armored truck were not prepared for driving on ice, but compared to ordinary cars, they had better grip.
Ckittt!
Shang Xixi slammed on the brake soon after they reached the bottom. The truck slipped for a few meters before it came to a full stop.
Inside the truck, no one was talking. Besides their heavy breathing, they could only hear the loud heartbeats of their own.
After a long silence, Shang Xixi finally said tremblingly, "W-we did it. We survived."
Wen Hanyu turned and saw that his girlfriend was trembling. He unfastened his seatbelt and hugged her. "Xixi, you are amazing. It’s okay now." They hugged for a moment before he said, "We should leave here as soon as possible."
Since she was not in a condition to drive, they changed seats, and he drove the truck. They followed the river and went in the direction of the main road.
Curled up in her seat, Shang Xixi saw a massive bug spit out a light similar to a laser and destroy the entire base through the side mirror.
Even from afar, they could still hear the explosions. The black smoke rose to the sky and covered the sun. The ashes mixed with snow, turning the entire area into a desolate ruin.
Meanwhile, in the Lin’an City Base, Wen Hanli was checking the map after he received Fu Shenghan’s message. His expression was calm despite his trembling hands.
The person who contacted them just now was most likely his younger brother, who was studying abroad before the apocalypse.
He thought that it would be impossible to contact the base across the sea. But after so many months, Fu Shenghan and his team managed to do this.
At this moment, he didn’t dare to think about what had happened to his brother. Fu Shenghan told him about his last message and the sound of an explosion before the communication was cut off.
Now that he knew that his brother was alive, he would do everything he could to find him.
After he mapped the possible escape route, he picked up his satellite phone and dialed a number. The call rang for a moment before it was picked up.
"Wen Hanli, why did you call me at this time?"
"Captain Jin, I have a favor to ask you and your team."
Noticing the seriousness of his tone, Jin Xuyan asked, "What is it?"
"Please help me bring my brother back. He is currently in the Thirteen Colonies, and the base where he stayed is attacked by zombie cockroaches and zombie rats."
