Xiao Ruoruo hid behind the shelves.
She peeked her head out, her face flushed red, "Thank you..."
"Thank?"
Qin Feng stared at her coldly, "Can't kill zombies without clothes? Your strength comes from yourself, not from your clothes!"
"If you encounter zombies without clothes, you just wait to die?!"
"I warn you! This is the last time. If this happens again, I won't save you!"
With that, he went downstairs without looking back.
Xiao Ruoruo was stunned.
She thought the captain would comfort her.
Or perhaps...
Seeing her unclothed, would he become beastly?
But!
She never imagined, even in her wildest dreams, that she would only receive icy, biting reproaches.
"Is he... cold-blooded?"
Her eyes welled up, she was about to cry.
...
Zhou Haiyang was much slower. By the time Qin Feng went downstairs, he had just arrived.
"Captain, what's wrong?" Zhou Haiyang asked hurriedly.
"There was a zombie hiding upstairs."
Qin Feng's face was grim, "Encountering a zombie while butt naked, you lose your head and only know how to run. Useless!"
"Zhou Haiyang, this is also a wake-up call for you!"
"Under any circumstances, maintain your combat readiness!"
"Not to mention being butt naked, even when you're in bed with a woman, you should be able to engage in combat at any moment!"
"Oh..."
Zhou Haiyang mumbled in a low voice.
The next moment, he muttered, "There are only the three of us, and no other women..."
If there are no women, how can you be in bed?
Xiao Ruoruo?
He dared not even think about it!
"There are plenty of women," Qin Feng said coldly.
"Where?" Zhou Haiyang asked, confused.
"Do you really think there are only adventurers on the apocalyptic planet?"
"What?!"
Zhou Haiyang's pupils instantly dilated.
Qin Feng opened his personal terminal and zoomed in on the map little by little.
There were many red dots on it.
"Do you know what the red dots represent?" he asked.
"Cities?"
On the map of Great Xia, there were thousands of red dots.
It wasn't just him.
All adventurers believed that red dots represented cities.
For example, the location of Shangjing City had a super-large red dot.
The red dots were of varying sizes.
"They are nuclear blast sites," Qin Feng said calmly.
"..."
Zhou Haiyang's eyeballs almost popped out.
The red dots represented...
Nuclear blast sites!
"The larger the red dot, the stronger the nuclear strike it received, proportional to the city's scale."
Qin Feng glanced at him, "The reason there is no one in Shangjing is that it was hit by a large-yield nuclear explosion. Most of the people here either died, or if they survived, they fled."
But!
In areas outside the two nuclear blast zones, those places were relatively safer.
On the other side.
The Blue Star live broadcast room erupted again.
More shocked than ever before!
Before this, people on Blue Star believed that there were only adventurers on the apocalyptic planet.
With 195 sovereign countries, there were less than twenty thousand adventurers.
But now...
Cities and counties had been hit by nuclear explosions.
But besides the densely populated cities and counties, there were still hundreds of millions of people in the villages.
This meant that tens of billions of people were still alive on the apocalyptic planet!
"It won't be long now."
Qin Feng took a bag of potato chips from the food section on the second floor, opened it, and said, "The people on the apocalyptic planet will also discover that they can gain superpowers by absorbing crystals."
Then, as the various resources in their regions are gradually depleted, they will definitely return to the nuclear blast zones.
In this world.
All cities and military areas were attacked by large-yield nuclear explosions.
Industry.
Agriculture.
All shut down!
They could only survive on pre-existing supplies.
When survivors fled to relatively safe rural areas and mountainous regions, how long could the supplies last?
Therefore.
Some survivors would definitely return to the nuclear blast zones to find supplies.
The reason Qin Feng chose to stay in Shangjing these days was for two reasons.
One was the rampant zombies in the nuclear blast zone.
Killing zombies was convenient, allowing for rapid acquisition of crystals.
Secondly.
Due to the survivors' escape, Shangjing had abundant resources.
Once the zombies reached level two, and level four mutants appeared, possessing intelligence...
Staying in Shangjing would be a death sentence!
Clang!
Suddenly, a noise came from the first floor.
Qin Feng's eyes narrowed.
He gestured to Zhou Haiyang to be quiet.
...
On the first floor.
The rolling shutter door was pried open, and a large group of people poured in, followed by countless roars.
Clearly, zombies were chasing them from behind!
A middle-aged woman, running slowly, was grabbed by the legs by two zombies.
The zombies dragged her outwards.
She crawled inwards.
"Save me... save..." the woman screamed.
The leader, a burly man, pulled down the rolling shutter door.
Because the woman was under the rolling shutter door, it couldn't be pulled down.
"Go to hell!"
The burly man kicked her out.
"Ah..."
The woman screamed.
She was instantly dragged out by the zombies, her screams quickly disappeared, and her body was devoured.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The rolling shutter door was violently slammed.
Zombies currently had very low intelligence, and their stamina was no different from ordinary people.
They couldn't break through the rolling shutter door, and since they couldn't see anyone, they gradually dispersed after a few minutes, continuing to wander.
"There are supplies here!" the crowd exclaimed excitedly.
Sealed premises.
Massive supplies.
With only a dozen or so of them, they could maintain survival for a long time!
That's right!
These people were survivors.
They came from the same residential complex.
Tens of thousands of people in the entire complex.
The nuclear blast took away more than half, followed by ten days of continuous cold snap, which killed more than half of the remaining people.
The rest stayed together, preparing to flee Shangjing when...
The corpses resurrected!
They hid in the complex, sealing all doors and windows.
However, food gradually ran out.
Having no choice.
A portion of the people decided to venture out at night to find supplies, but...
Even with extreme caution, they were discovered by zombies.
They fled here, with only a little over a dozen people left.
Each of them was dizzy with hunger.
"Food... the food is on the second floor!" someone shouted excitedly upon seeing the signage.
Whoosh!
More than ten people were about to rush to the second floor.
"Halt!"
Suddenly!
The burly man who had kicked the middle-aged woman out earlier, yelled, "All of you, stop!"
"This place will be a shelter from now on, but... rules must be established!"
He was named Wang Tu.
He was a former provincial Sanda athlete.
He was expelled from the Sanda team for molesting a female teammate, and later worked as a security guard in the complex.
When hiding in the complex, there were too many people.
After the nuclear blast, fleeing Shangjing, and the cold snap, there were still over three hundred people left in the complex, so he didn't dare to act rashly.
Now, it was different!
With only a dozen or so people left in total, he was confident he could completely control them.
"From now on, I call the shots!"
He pointed to a similarly burly man beside him, "Ah Hu is the second-in-command!"
Ah Hu was also a security guard at the complex.
Before the disaster struck, he had always followed Wang Tu's lead.
"Forming a gang? Boss and second boss..." a thin middle-aged man rebuked.
Pfft!
Suddenly, Wang Tu stabbed with a dagger.
He stabbed directly into the left chest. The middle-aged man screamed in agony.
He twisted with force, and the middle-aged man immediately stopped breathing, "Does anyone else have any objections? It's okay, I'm a very fair person. If you have objections, feel free to raise them!"
"B-Boss..." an old man bowed his head.
"Boss..."
More people echoed.
Wang Tu's ferocity and madness shattered their psychological defenses, leading them to choose submission.
Either obey obediently.
Or die.
The vast majority chose the latter.
"I'll take what I need and leave."
At this moment, a girl stepped forward.
She could neither accept obeying obediently nor stay here forever.
Originally, she had a chance to escape Yanjing.
But!
Her relatives were not yet found, so she ultimately chose to stay.
"Take what you need?"
Wang Tu smirked and walked towards the girl, "Do you understand? It's the apocalypse now. If I'm here, the things are mine - even you, are mine!"
"You... what do you want to do?!" the girl exclaimed in shock, instinctively backing away.
"I said she's mine, do any of you have an opinion?" Wang Tu looked at the crowd.
"No..."
Someone replied.
More people lowered their heads in silence.
