Zhao Ziwei's injuries were not completely healed, but there was no more time for him to fully recover. After making sure that it would not affect his operations, Zhao Ziwei decided to set off immediately for the Fourth Security Base.
It is estimated that it will take about six hours to reach the fourth security base, and this is an estimate without encountering any difficult monsters.
The situation near the Fourth Security Base was unknown, so they chose to set out at night, arrive at their destination at dawn and start investigating, trying to escape from the Fourth Security Base before the next night.
This was the best way Zhao Ziwei could think of. Cheng Yue was willing to sacrifice anyone, even himself, to complete the mission, but Zhao Ziwei was the opposite, preferring to put the survival rate of the entire team first.
Collect as much information as possible while ensuring your survival rate.
After Qi Huan and Ji Zhan helped load the team's supplies into the vehicle, the two tires at the back of the off-road vehicle were obviously pressed down.
Qi Huan squatted down and pressed the tire of the car, and asked with some worry: "Is it really not going to blow out?"
Zhao Ziwei came over and said: "No, the military vehicles in the base have been modified, and their carrying capacity and body defense are much stronger than ordinary vehicles."
Ji Zhan was carrying the supplies silently. Suddenly, with a light movement of his hands, he turned around and saw Jing Sa taking over her current work.
Jing Sa put the last few weapon boxes into the trunk and asked, "Are there any more?"
Ji Zhan shook his head, but stared at Jing Sa for a while, then said, "We can talk about our affairs after we get back from the mission."
After finishing speaking, Ji Zhan was the first person to look away. She still had a dull expression on her face, but if you look carefully, you can catch her peeking at Jing Sa with her peripheral vision from time to time, as if she was behind the corner.
Like a kitten poking its head.
Jing Sa raised the corners of her lips, silently lifting Ji Zhan's hair, and said, "Okay."
"Check the equipment for the last time and get ready to go!"
"Coming!"
The fiery red sunset cast its last rays of light on the distant green mountains, and the off-road vehicle sped out from the temporary base against the evening wind.
…
Most monsters will become sluggish in their movements at night, and some will even go into sleep. This is one of the reasons why Zhao Ziwei chooses to travel at night, but there are also a few monsters that will still remain active at night.
Sure enough, while driving through a ruins, several nocturnal monsters had already followed the evolver's breath and caught up with them.
The monsters behind were very fast. Although Zhao Ziwei had kept the speed at a high level, he still couldn't get rid of them. Moreover, the roads here were rugged and it was easy for the car to overturn while racing.
Jing Sa glanced at the rearview mirror and said, "Sixteen of them, and they are all of the same species. I'm afraid they didn't have their nests where we just passed."
Ji Zhan put on his protective goggles, then assembled the sniper rifle and took it in his hand. The muzzle of the sniper rifle was equipped with a silencer. When shooting at night, the sound of the gunfire was not obvious.
Ji Zhan said decisively: "I'll do it."
After saying that, Ji Zhan opened the car window, leaned half of his body out, turned around and picked up the gun.
The slightly bumpy car and the fast-moving target had little impact on Ji Zhan, who was as accurate as ever.
Qi Huan originally wanted to use superpowers to help, but was stopped by Zhao Ziwei, "Using superpowers costs us too much. We can't completely rely on them now. Unless the situation is irreversible, we will try our best."
Use less power."
Qi Huan overused his superpower once, and it took him several days to fully recover.
Moreover, Qi Huan's physical fitness is not comparable to that of ordinary evolvers. Even he needs such a long recovery time, let alone others.
Qi Huan originally wanted to hold on, saying that he could control his powers, but the place on his face where Jing Sa hit him was still hurting, and the words Ji Zhan told him he was not smart enough often rang in his ears, so he always acted impulsively.
Did Qi Huan actually obey my words for once?
"Okay." Qi Huan replied with a puffed face.
Ji Zhan dealt with the monsters behind him and sat back in the car. Jing Sa turned around and handed something to Ji Zhan.
"I found it in the stronghold before."
Ji Zhan took it and sat next to Ji Zhan. Qi Huan came over curiously and took a look at the thing lying in Ji Zhan's palm. His eyes were shining with envy, "It's candy!"
Ji Zhan unfolded the colorful candy wrapper, and inside was a pure white toffee. He held it in his mouth, and the rich milky aroma and sweetness instantly exploded on his taste buds.
Qi Huan looked at Jing Sa eagerly and asked, "Is there any more?"
Jing Sa smiled and said, "No more, just this one."
The materials needed to make candies in the base are very expensive, so the candies that every child could afford before the apocalypse have become a luxury after the apocalypse.
Accepting Qi Huan's accusing look, Jing Sa admitted generously: "I can't help it, I'm partial."
"Humph, I have stopped eating this kind of food only for children!" Qi Huan said harshly.
Ji Zhan glanced at Qi Huan, who was trying to explain in a hurry, but Ji Zhan still said calmly: "This is my first time eating this."
Qi Huan's eyes suddenly widened, and even Zhao Ziwei couldn't help but look sideways, "Ji Zhan, have you never eaten candy before?"
Ji Zhan nodded. She grew up in a research institute and her daily diet was strictly controlled. She had only seen candies in books and had no chance to taste them. Later, when she was sixteen years old, she entered the Military Academy.
Affected by the environment in which he grew up, Ji Zhan is not as lively and active as his peers. He is curious about unknown things. He spends every day in courses and training, which is very boring, but Ji Zhan has long been accustomed to this.
life.
"Do you like it?" Jing Sa asked.
Ji Zhan pressed the candy in his mouth with the tip of his tongue, nodded vigorously, and a faint smile appeared on his face. The black fog in front of his eyes seemed to be dispelled, and the beautiful starlight leaked out.
The car continued to drive in the night, and the rest of the journey was relatively smooth. Zhao Ziwei would also carefully avoid unnecessary battles, which shortened a lot of time.
As we got closer to the Fourth Security Base, the atmosphere in the car became a little tense and solemn.
However, the ones who were nervous and dignified were Zhao Ziwei and Qi Huan. Ji Zhan was holding a gun and resting his forehead against the car window, while Jing Sa was predicting the situation he might encounter in the future.
Although he won't be hurt, he has to protect Ji Zhan.
If he really fell into a desperate situation, he had to ensure that he had the means and ability to bring Ji Zhan out.
Four o'clock in the morning.
Zhao Ziwei stepped on the brakes and the car stopped seven kilometers away from the Fourth Security Base.
The dark clouds in the sky covered all the light, and moved slowly with the direction of the wind.
