Apocalypse: After Being Reborn, I Stocked Up on All Supplies-Chapter 207 - Where are the warriors

Chapter 207: Chapter 207 Where are the warriors?

Chapter 207 -207 Where are the warriors?

Gunshots and squealing noises echoed from the distance now and then.

“God, I hope the Rats dig slower and haven’t reached here yet…” Su Dai muttered under her breath.

Jiang Yan didn’t respond but focused her mind on coordinating Hua Bao, diligently monitoring the surroundings.

A few minutes before, when everyone else descended the stairs, she didn’t follow immediately.

Instead, she quickly entered the room to the Space and pulled out Hua Bao, who was still eating.

At this moment, as usual, Hua Bao rested his head on her shoulder with six Vines extending to their maximum length, scanning in 360 degrees.

The others naturally had no idea she could do such magical operations. Each of them was holding a weapon, extremely alert.

Sun Jingtao furrowed his brows and asked a crucial question, “Brother Song, which way should we go?”

They were new to the base and weren’t familiar with its layout.

Not to mention the thick fog that blinded them like pitch darkness.

They only knew they should head to the rear gate of the base, but exactly how remained a question.

Luckily, they all had night vision goggles, otherwise, walking down the street now would be no different from being blind.

“Follow me for now, let’s meet up with Kong Wu first. I’m familiar with this part of the road,” said Song Qian.

They could only follow him.

With their vision obstructed and needing to watch out for patrolmen or Rats burrowing out, they moved very slowly.

After about seven or eight minutes, as they were about to leave the compound area, Song Qian quietly called out into the air, “Kong Wu!”

“Brother Song!” From the dark haze on the right, a figure gradually appeared, it was Kong Wu.

He had changed into new clothes, was carrying a large backpack, and held a submachine gun.

Seeing them, he quickly walked over.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Song Qian asked, “What’s the situation, did you see anything?”

“Yes. Their convoy went towards the military airport behind the base.”

“A convoy? With such dense fog, how can they drive?” Su Dai was surprised.

“They have their ways. And with curfew on the streets, as long as they know the route, there’s basically nothing to stop them,” Song Qian explained, then instructed Kong Wu, “You lead the way.”

“Okay”, Kong Wu walked ahead.

He now held a flashlight, bending down to shine it on the ruts left by vehicles on the road.

Thanks to the thick layer of black ash accumulated on the streets.

Walking on it felt like walking on a black dirt road.

Following the tire tracks left by those convoys, they could find the exit at the rear of the base.

After an unknown duration, Jiang Yan heard sounds of “pa pa pa” coming from a large empty space nearby.

At the same time, Hua Bao issued a warning.

“Chirp chirp chirp!” Mum, it seems like there are big Rats!

Cannibal Flower pointed with one of its Vine fingers in a direction.

“Chirp chirp chirp?” Mum, should I take care of it?

“No need,” Jiang Yan thought back.

She couldn’t stray too far from Hua Bao.

Especially with Song Qian nearby, Jiang Yan didn’t want to reveal anything unreasonable.

Still, she raised her hand to stop the others.

Their hearing was obviously not as good as Jiang Yan’s.

But they got the gist.

They stood still and listened carefully for a few seconds, and everyone immediately realized something was off.

It was the sound of large amounts of dirt being flung into the air and falling.

The source was some distance away.

Was it Rats?

But if it were Rats, why couldn’t they hear any squeaking?

Jiang Yan removed her mask, sniffed the air, then quickly put it back on.

A stench of urine pervaded the air.

No matter how much the Rats mutated, the unforgettable stench of their bodies and their nests lingered.

Considering the intensity of the stench, there were many Rats.

Jiang Yan’s brow furrowed involuntarily, “It’s Rats, and lots of them.”

Kong Wu turned off his flashlight and tiptoed in the direction Jiang Yan indicated for a few steps before quickly returning.

“It looks like an abandoned football field.”

Su Dai: “…,” A football field, wouldn’t that make it much easier for Rats to burrow compared to a concrete path?

Ye Qing and the others became more serious upon hearing this.

They hadn’t expected that this quiet, sparsely populated area would also be invaded by Rats.

The group had firearms; under normal circumstances, facing a dozen or so Rats wouldn’t scare them.

But the major issue now was visibility was nearly zero.

They couldn’t see anything.

It was a very passive situation.

Jiang Yan suggested, “We should hurry up. If Rats really come later, the five of us will back to back in a circle with our weapons pointed outward, Su Dai, you’ll take cover in the middle.”

Song Qian and the others agreed, “Okay.”

The group quickened their pace.

After a while, they didn’t encounter any more traces of Rats.

Not far ahead, a faint light appeared.

The light was dim and small, but in the dark night, it was particularly conspicuous.

“We’re almost at the rear gate of the base,” Song Qian breathed softly.

Jiang Yan stopped, “I just thought of a problem.”

“What?” The others were taken aback.

“The base isn’t supposed to allow entry or exit at night, right? And now with the curfew, how do we explain ourselves?” Jiang Yan continued:

“Also, have you noticed how strange it is that we haven’t encountered anyone on the way? Not even a patrol…”

“Yes, it is strange. Could we have taken the wrong path?” Su Dai said, casting a wary glance at Song Qian.

It was normal for many people to sleep when it was dark.

And with the curfew in Xiangcheng, people naturally wouldn’t break the rules.

But the base itself wasn’t very large; those living in the high-rise residential buildings, even if they couldn’t hear the gunshots, should be able to see the fires, right?

Even if they couldn’t see it because of the heavy black haze.

Or they slept too soundly to hear anything.

But what about the base personnel?

It was too illogical to have walked all this way without seeing even a single patrol.

Although they didn’t really wish to encounter one.

Once Jiang Yan pointed this out, Sun Jingtao and Ye Qing also quickly realized something was off.

Alarms went off in everyone’s minds, and they suddenly looked towards Song Qian.

They saw him darken his expression for a moment before he spoke:

“The route we are taking now leads to the military airport and is an internal road of the base, there are no residential areas arranged on both sides.”

After hearing this, Jiang Yan’s frown deepened:

“What about the warriors, aren’t there supposed to be any patrolling?”
