Ephemeral clouds and works

Chapter 11: Facing Each Other Directly

    

ok an hour to clear them all out. Then, in the innermost monitoring room, Eagle Wing found a zombified pilot curled up in the corner, looking dead.Everyone looked at each other's blackened calves and...Sun Wang, being a social butterfly, returned to their car after twenty minutes, looking quite unwell and saying:

“The convoy was faster than us because they abandoned half their team! Out of the three military trucks that left our yard, the last one was rammed by zombies and injured people. These people turned into zombies halfway through, and then the whole convoy fell apart!”

Sun Wang finished speaking, patted his chest with lingering fear, then continued:

"Luckily Sister Lianyi was decisive and we turned into the alley to escape. All our cars followed suit. About half of those following the convoy were engulfed by zombies, and many of the young soldiers were also injured."

They were discussing how to handle those who had been scratched. Yun Rou ran over and said she had seen with her own eyes that the people scratched on the car turned into zombies half an hour later. For everyone's safety, they should dispose of those soldiers as soon as possible.

Sun Wang said with a very regretful expression, those young warriors were about the same age as him.

You guys wait in the car, don't be kind-hearted, I'll go take a look.

Wu Lianyi gave a brief explanation and walked straight towards the group of warriors.

Yun Rou was the first to notice, her face changing color immediately before quickly calming down. With everyone watching, it was unlikely the other party would do anything rash. She simply leaned closer to Zhao Chonglin, the team leader.

"Ma'am, please stay in your vehicle. We will be leaving shortly."

A young warrior stopped Wu Lianyi.

"I saw your captain. I have important news to tell him, something regarding your wounded comrade."

Wu Lianyi said solemnly.

The little warrior hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Ripple again, confirming that the other party wouldn't pose a threat. Only then did he make way.

Wu Lianyi walked straight over and said to the tall man who seemed to be the captain:

"Captain, don't listen to that woman. You'll regret it."

Her words, like ripples in a pond, caught the attention of the entire team. Yunrou's face twisted for a moment before she angrily stated:

"Wu Lianyi, what do you mean I haven't done anything, why are you so against me!"

"Because you weren't telling the truth! If someone is scratched or bitten and doesn't immediately mutate, there's a chance they could survive and even awaken their abilities."

As soon as Wu Lianyi finished speaking, Zhao Chonglin's eyes lit up immediately, and he spoke directly:

"Ma'am, is that true What evidence do you have"

“Yes! I am the proof! This Yunrou beside you is my best friend and colleague. After the apocalypse arrived, my fiancé took her and left, abandoning me to face the zombies. I was injured by a zombie after barely escaping death, and I even woke up with special powers.”

After the words left his mouth, he walked straight over and effortlessly lifted the front of a military truck as if it were nothing. The soldier inside was startled. Seeing their captain, he withdrew his hand from his holster.

This immediately drew the attention of those around, especially among the warriors and those who had already awakened their abilities in the crowd.

Yun Rou bit her lips, innocently saying:

“Captain Zhao, I didn't know that someone could survive after being bitten. Before, on the car, I did see with my own eyes that the person who was bitten turned into a zombie about half an hour later and started attacking people around him. Because we weren't prepared in advance, so many people were killed.”

Zhao Chonglin nodded after hearing this. After all, he was in the second car at the time, and the zombie who rushed into the car was the one he dealt with. However, if there was even a slight chance that his soldiers could survive, he was still willing to give it a try.

"That also depends on the person. Your physical fitness is different from the general population, so you have a higher chance of weathering it."

Even Lianyi doesn't deny Yunrou's claim, she wanted to disgust the other party and prevent her from climbing up to anyone with strength and power.

Zhao Chonglin apparently prefers to believe Wu Lianyi's account, perhaps truly someone could have survived.

What should I do

"Find someone to isolate them and have familiar comrades talk to them, encouraging them to hold on. The rest is up to their own immune systems."

Liàn Yī said, "It's very lonely to be alone."

Zhao Chonglin felt that he was asking too much, nodded to the person beside him, and then thanked Wu Lianyi.

"You're welcome, you were all hurt saving people. Otherwise, with your skills, you wouldn't be so easily scratched."

Captain Zhao, let me remind you again, this gathering point has already attracted many people, which will attract zombies. Don't wait for everyone to arrive before setting off. It's best to arrange those who have already rested well to go to the safe zone in batches.

Okay, I understand!

Wu Lianyi immediately turned her head and looked at Yunrou with a smile, but that smile fell into Yunrou's eyes, making her feel especially uncomfortable.

Wu Lianyi, seeing her purpose accomplished, directly returned to her car and then said to Sun Yi:

Let's get going, and head to the shelter overnight!

"Ripple Sister, aren't you going to act with them"

Sun Wang asked directly.

"This place is no longer safe!"

Sun Yi answered her foolish younger brother's question.

Before Sun Yi got into the car, she had been frowning and concentrating. After listening to Lianyi's instructions, she immediately started the car, turned the wheel, and drove away from the meeting point towards the designated shelter mentioned on the broadcast.

Some people seemed to sense the unease as well. Seeing someone take the lead and leave, the bolder ones also started their cars and followed the departing vehicles.

Some other people, seeing the sun set, knew that traveling at night was dangerous without military escort. They felt unsafe and could only patiently wait.

Zhao Chonglin also discovered Wu Lianyi's departure. After seeing her off, he gathered the squad leader and discussed leaving in batches.

But after forty minutes, another squad tasked with assisting in the evacuation arrived. The exhausted squad raced toward the assembly point at full speed and shouted through their walkie-talkies:

"Zhao Chonglin! Captain Zhao! Hurry! Order everyone to leave here immediately! A horde of zombies is following us, and they're getting faster!"

The other party's voice was hoarse from shouting, indicating a very dangerous situation.

Zhao Chonglin's face changed, he immediately took the walkie-talkie and asked:

"How far away are you from the horde of zombies behind you"

"> Two miles or more!"

"Roger that, we are organizing personnel at the gathering point to evacuate in batches. Please delay as much as possible before then, we will be there to support you!"

"Received! Go as fast as you can!"

Both parties immediately hung up the phone.

Deputy Commander He Hongming immediately said:

"It will take us an hour for everyone to evacuate!"

"Too long, speed up! Otherwise, Gong Hai and his entire army will be wiped out!"

Zhao Chonglin gritted his teeth and said.

Fortunately, they listened to the advice of that superheroine, otherwise, they would be the ones struggling now.

"Achoo!" Wu Lianyi sneezed, then rubbed her nose. Someone must be thinking of her.Only then did the guards, known as Fenqi, raise their heads and see their leader's familiar eyes. Only then were they certain that reinforcements had arrived. After being completely reassured, they fa...
