Gu Bei and Xiao Ruobing drove off-road vehicles, passed through the highway intersection, and followed the highway toward their hometown.
Unfortunately, as the apocalypse approaches, countless people are driving on the highway trying to escape or find their loved ones.
Sixty to seventy percent of these people turned into zombies, and 120% were bitten and eaten by relatives, friends or passers-by who turned into zombies.
Less than 10% of people can actually survive.
They barely escaped from the zombies, either by car or on foot, and fled the highway.
There were only some cars parked haphazardly on the highway, or scraps that had been smashed into pieces.
Of course, there are also zombies that are wandering around unconsciously and making loud screams.
Gu Bei gritted his teeth, stepped on the accelerator hard, and relied on the ultra-high chassis and modified shell of the off-road vehicle to forcefully carve out a passage.
After more than half a month, they finally approached the city where their hometown was located. The off-road vehicle they found in the north of the city had long been smashed.
On the side of the road, Gu Bei temporarily found another car, and also collected some food and drinking water from the convenience store of the gas station and the small supermarket in the service area.
The two of them finally had a good meal and returned to their hometown without any danger.
However, as the car approached the third ring road, there were more and more zombies around it.
At the beginning, Gu Bei could easily use his superpower to blow the zombie's head off with an ice pick.
However, as time passed and the number of times increased, Gu Bei's abilities became somewhat exhausted.
But there are more and more zombies, and this is still only the third ring road.
The Gu family and the Xiao family are both rich. Although they don't occupy a place on any rich list, they still have a net worth of hundreds of millions.
The two families lived in the wetland villa area in the south of the city, but Gu Bei and Xiao Ruobing came from the north.
To get home, they have to cross the entire city.
City C is only a second-tier city, but its population has reached seven to eight million people.
If we use half the ratio, then when the apocalypse first comes, there will be three to four million zombies.
Including the zombies that were transformed after being bitten by zombies, the number is estimated to be between five and six million.
This, this is simply a huge cemetery filled with the living dead.
Looking at those strange and blood-stained monsters, Gu Bei, who had fully adapted to his status as a superpower, turned pale.
"Gu Bei, tell me, my parents and your parents, how are they doing now?"
Without seeing the fall of City C with his own eyes, Xiao Ruobing could still deceive himself—the situation in his hometown might not be so serious, and his parents might still survive!
However, with the groups of wandering zombies in front of us and the lifeless city in the distance, there is no trace of the bustle and prosperity of the past.
This, this place is like a dead city.
"They will be fine, they will be fine!"
Gu Bei was also beating a drum in his heart, but as a man and as the patron saint of his fiancée, he couldn't say anything depressing.
"Our family doesn't have many residents, and my parents have the habit of storing things..."
Villa areas are definitely less densely populated than high-rise residential buildings in the city.
With fewer people, there will be fewer zombies, and the danger will be much less.
In addition, it is far away from the city, so shopping and groceries are not particularly convenient, so the nanny at home will buy a lot at once.
In addition, Gu Bei's brother is a biologist, and his father runs a pharmaceutical company, so the family has no shortage of medicines.
The Xiao family and the Gu family are neighbors, and the two families have become very close because of the engagement between Gu Bei and Xiao Ruobing.
When the end of the world comes, the two families will definitely help each other and resist the crisis together.
Gu Bei tried his best to comfort himself in his heart.
"Yes, they will be fine!"
Xiao Ruobing didn't know whether she was comforted by Gu Bei or wanted to comfort herself with such words, and nodded repeatedly.
"Well, the situation in the city is not good. Let's wait outside to see if there are any other teams of superpowers!"
It's the end of the world, it's safer to form a group to fight monsters.
Gu Bei has special powers and is extremely powerful in combat, but fighting alone is really not feasible.
"Okay, listen to you!"
Xiao Ruobing was originally a weak woman, and her fiancé became a strong one, so she naturally listened to him in everything.
So, they found a temporary residence at a highway intersection outside the city.
What a coincidence, I actually met a team of superpowers.
What's more coincidental is that they also stayed temporarily at the Wetland Villa in the south of the city.
"What? The Wetland Villa is completely occupied by zombies?"
Gu Bei and Xiao Ruobing both turned pale, and their hearts dropped.
"Yes, originally we wanted to live there for a while. After all, there are mountains, water, plenty of houses, and few zombies!"
A person with fire powers will think about what he experienced half a month ago, and his face will not look good.
He said with lingering fear: "However, we have overlooked one thing. There are few zombies there and the environment is good, but there are many wild animals and plants. And these have suddenly mutated!"
Small pets such as cats and dogs have grown in size, while harmless flowers and plants have turned into man-eating monsters.
What's even more ironic is that the villa in the south of the city is a rich area, and those rich people always have some weird hobbies.
There was a rich man who kept a captive-bred crocodile in his yard.
After the end of the world, this originally ferocious animal directly mutated into a man-eating monster.
The entire family was eaten alive by the mutated crocodile.
The villa area is also infested with mosquitoes unique to wetlands, which mutate to become even more terrifying.
Some directly carry zombie viruses, and one bite from them will turn you into a zombie!
"A few of us have special powers, but we only narrowly escaped death!"
The fire-type superpower had a frightened expression on his face, "And those ordinary people are pitiful~~~"
He did not continue what he said later, but both Gu Bei and Xiao Ruobing understood the meaning.
It seemed that the extremely powerful fire element user in front of him could barely escape. Then, the parents of the Xiao family probably also——
"I advise you not to go to the south of the city. It has become a paradise for monsters!"
When the fire power user saw Gu Bei and Xiao Ruobing, although they were sad and angry, they still didn't want to give up, and gave them a kind words of advice.
"All the survivors in the city have escaped, and we are probably the last ones. The survivor base established by the military region is also being relocated."
"I heard that before the official base is moved, it plans to blow up all the hardest-hit areas in the city!"
"The villa area in the south of the city is one of them. There is no way, the mutated animals and plants there are too scary!"
As if to confirm the words of the fire superpower, at this moment, a rumble of explosions came from the distance.
Plop!
Plop!!
Gu Bei and Xiao Ruobing both knelt on the ground, crying in grief towards the south of the city.
Seeing the heart-wrenching looks of the two people, although the fire superpower had some sympathy, he also looked like he was used to it.
Alas, the end of the world is coming, there are too many lives, separations and deaths, families are broken up and people are destroyed.
Even they themselves have mostly experienced life, death and suffering.
Cry, vent, wipe away your tears, and then continue to work hard to survive, so that you can be worthy of your loved ones.
"Gu Bei, I only have you!" Xiao Ruobing's voice became hoarse from crying, and she hugged Gu Bei and whispered sadly.
Gu Bei:...I, I, oh by the way, I have a brother!
Gu Bei's eyes, which were filled with sadness because his parents might have been killed, suddenly lit up a little.
Even Xiao Ruobing suddenly remembered that they still had a relative they could seek refuge with, "Brother Nan? Yes, let's go find Brother Nan!"
Gu Nan is a famous genius in their circle.
When he was in his twenties, he obtained his doctorate and established his own laboratory.
And, most importantly, Gu Nan's laboratory is in D City next door.
The straight-line distance is just over 100 kilometers. By car, under normal circumstances, it can be reached in one or two hours.
In the last days, it is estimated to take ten days and a half.
"good!"
Gu Bei also wants to find his eldest brother, who may be his only relative.
"You are going to City D? What a coincidence, we are going too!"
The fire superpower said with a smile, "You must have heard about it. Dr. Gu Nangu at the Hope Base in City D has developed a zombie virus potion!"
"Although it is still in the clinical stage, the results are said to be very good!"
"Tsk tsk, that's a zombie virus preparation. If you inject such a medicine and get scratched and bitten by zombies, you won't be afraid of being infected anymore!"
"Oh, the price is just a bit high. It costs a hundred first-order crystal cores."
The fire superpower said with a slight pain.
The focus of Gu Bei and Xiao Ruobing's attention was: "Dr. Gu Nan?"
The two shouted in unison.
"Yes, it's Dr. Gu Nangu. Although some people slander him and say that he uses people with superpowers to conduct experiments, developing zombie virus medicine will benefit all mankind."
"In the process of carrying out such a great cause, there will definitely be sacrifices. And Dr. Gu is purely for the sake of mankind all over the world, not because of personal grudges!"
In the end, the knife did not cut his body, and the fire superpower user himself is a superpower.
Not only did he not think that it was terrible and anti-human for Gu Nan to conduct experiments on people with superpowers, but he felt that the other person was the hero of all mankind and the true savior.
However, Gu Bei and Xiao Ruobing did not listen to the words that the fire superpowers used to defend the "savior".
They were very excited at the moment, especially Gu Bei, who had been struggling in the apocalypse for more than two months, experiencing all kinds of human relationships, as well as the oppression and humiliation of villains and scum.
After becoming a superpower, he personally felt the importance of power.
Now that he heard that his only brother had become such a corrupt big shot, he only had one thought in his mind: Great! Finally he has a backer!
Xiao Ruobing had the same idea as him, she just wanted to rush to the Hope Base as soon as possible, defect to Gu Nan, and then live a prosperous, stable and dignified life.
Oh, by the way, if the eldest brother is really as powerful as outsiders say and becomes the savior of the end of the world.
So, does this mean that they can use the power of their elder brother to seek revenge?
"Brother, I almost couldn't see you!"
"Wow, that He Xiaotian from the north of the city is simply a scumbag. Not only did he touch Ruobing, he also abused me in every possible way!"
"...Yes, Brother Nan, Gu Bei and I managed to escape with great difficulty. That scumbag not only tried to harm us, but also killed many innocent survivors."
After more than half a month, nearly four months before the end of the world, Gu Bei and Xiao Ruobing finally found Gu Nan, the soul of the Hope Base.
When the two brothers met, Gu Bei hugged his eldest brother and burst into tears.
First, he told what happened in his hometown villa area, and the speculation that his parents and the Xiao couple next door might have been killed.
In this regard, Gu Nan had more precise news, "I ordered people to go home and look for it. Our father turned into a zombie, and our mother——"
"Uncle Xiao and his wife were bitten by the mutated dog at home and died from treatment!"
It was indeed a group annihilation!
Although they had already guessed the ending, after hearing Gu Nan's words with their own ears, Gu Bei and Xiao Ruobing couldn't help but burst into tears.
After crying for quite a while, Gu Nan was getting a little impatient, and Gu Bei slowly stopped crying.
Then, it’s time to file a complaint!
After arriving at the Hope Base, I felt the respect for Gu Nan from top to bottom, from the superpowers to ordinary people. Gu Bei and the others had a deep understanding of their eldest brother's status.
Moreover, with the promotion of zombie virus medicine, this respect will spread from a small hope base to the entire country, and even the entire world!
Big brother is the savior!
Gu Bei did not act arrogantly because of his status, it was because he knew how to be restrained, kind and beautiful.
Now, he just wants to ask his eldest brother to help him get revenge, so it shouldn't be a big problem, right?
Xiao Ruobing was in the same mind as Gu Bei, and when she heard him mention He Xiaotian, she quickly agreed.
Gu Nan: ...He is a time traveler, and he really doesn’t have much affection for his cheap brother whom he has not been with for half a day.
However, since he took over the body and identity of the original owner, he naturally had to bear the corresponding consequences.
Gu Bei, this younger brother, is the only blood relative of the original owner.
Besides, Gu Bei didn't ask him to act recklessly, he just wanted to teach a beast who took advantage of the end of the world to become a king and harm the weak. Gu Nan didn't like it very much.
"okay, I get it!"
"If you dare to hurt my brother Gu Nan, I will never let him go!"
"He Xiaotian, right? He's just a small character!"
As the owner of the male supporting actor whitewashing system, Gu Nan is familiar with the plot.
And in the plot he read through, it seemed that there was indeed a top-notch scumbag, and he seemed to have tortured and killed Gu Bei.
Although the current development is somewhat different from the plot, it doesn't matter.
He relied on the system to develop a zombie virus vaccine in advance, and the original male protagonist Gong Yan did not appear at the Hope Base. The plot has been affected by the butterfly effect.
Some minor changes are normal.
Gu Bei did not die in the Demon Cave in City B, but he still made a request for "revenge", which does not completely deviate from the plot.
Because Gu Bei died, Gu Nan must avenge him.
"Dr. Gu, we can handle this kind of thing for you without you having to step forward!"
As soon as the news came out that Dr. Gu's only relative was almost murdered by a scumbag, countless people with supernatural powers, including the Hope Base, who wanted to exchange potions from Gu Nan, expressed their opinions.
In order to befriend Gu Nan, they even rushed to form a group and rush to the north base of city B.
Of course, the news that Gu Bei inadvertently revealed, "There are dozens of tons of supplies in the base in the north of the city," also made the superpowers excited!
Everyone originally thought that this would be an easy trip that would "kill two birds with one stone", but when they finally arrived at the north of City B after a month and a half of hard work, they saw the large-scale and well-guarded base.
