Chapter 1759 - 958: Zombies Flowing Downstream—Jumping Zombies?

Buzz buzz buzz—

A burst of static comes through the walkie-talkie.

"This is Big Camphor Tree Base, calling Guo Peng, please respond if you receive."

Guo Peng recognizes the voice of Li Hongda, the Internal Affairs Director at Big Camphor Tree Base, and quickly picks up the walkie-talkie to respond: "This is Guo Peng, receiving your message, please give instructions."

"Where are you now? Return to Big Camphor Tree Base as soon as possible, return quickly!"

Looking at the gloomy sky outside the window, Guo Peng immediately replied:

"We have arrived at Xin City, and are expected to reach Big Camphor Tree Base in an hour."

"Okay, be safe on the road." Second Uncle said after putting down the walkie-talkie.

Looking outside at the dreary sky, the wind is still blowing, but the sky has become more somber. Dark clouds cover the sky, creating a great sense of oppression.

The wind is getting stronger and stronger.

In Weng City, there are not so many people anymore, only a dozen cooperative personnel who just arrived here are checking the team.

The greenhouse in the First outer city is overcrowded; even though everyone is lowering their voices due to the crowd, the cumulative effect is still somewhat noisy.

However, these aggregated sounds are not as loud as the wind outside.

The sound of people talking is drowned out by the wind.

Whoosh whoosh—

The wind blew Qingyang’s clothes, making them flap loudly as he looked at the gloomy sky, concern showing on his face.

"I don’t know how my senior brothers are doing now, sigh..."

During this period, Li Yu has mobilized all manpower at Big Camphor Tree Base to help him search for his senior brother’s whereabouts, but regrettably, to this day there is still no news.

At the construction site of Big Camphor Tree Base’s Fourth Outer City, all construction equipment and materials have been transported into the city these past two days.

Heavy rain is about to fall, and if it lasts too long, the construction equipment and materials could be damaged.

Not to mention, if the cement gets wet, it would practically be considered ruined.

Between heaven and earth, it seems no animals can be seen anymore.

On the walls, staff members stand vigilantly at their posts, meticulously guarding Big Camphor Tree Base.

But due to the strong wind, they are forced to wear goggles and masks to prevent the dust from outside from blowing into their eyes and noses.

Step step step—

Li Yu walked into the duty room, removed his mask, and said to Second Uncle:

"How many people have not come inside yet?"

Second Uncle, looking at the latest registration form taken from Weng City, replied: "Just one team of cooperative personnel on an external mission, and Guo Peng’s group from the Fifth Satellite City."

Li Yu furrowed his brows and asked:

"Why are there teams on external missions? Haven’t missions been suspended for days already?"

Second Uncle rubbed his temples and said:

"They went out a week ago. The leader is named Qi Jian; they went to Min Province to look for some new energy components.

We’ve been unable to contact them. I sent Lao Yi out in the helicopter to search, but we couldn’t find them."

Li Yu wondered: "The main roads to the east have been destroyed by us, how did they go?"

"They took a detour, heading north and then southeast." Second Uncle seems troubled by this matter.

Then, Second Uncle put down the roster and said with a sigh: "Let’s leave it to fate and hope they make it through this ordeal."

Li Yu nodded, then said: "Once Guo Peng’s group gets inside, let’s close the gate. The sky is getting darker, zombies might come out."

Second Uncle looked at the sky outside, it was already like six-thirty—a feeling similar to when the sun sets leaving just a touch of twilight.

The wind has been blowing for two or three days continuously, and the sunny weather has turned into a murky haze.

On the other side.

Guo Peng looked at the road ahead, appearing as if it was shrouded in a thin veil, making visibility unclear.

The headlights were turned on long ago.

"Everyone, maintain formation, don’t fall behind!" Guo Peng picked up the walkie-talkie and said to the teammates behind him.

"Copy."

"Copy."

...

Suddenly.

A silhouette appeared in the lighted path.

Screech—

The driver slammed the brakes, but the distance was too short, and the vehicle still collided with it.

Bang!

The silhouette was struck and flew off.

Laying on the ground three or four meters in front of the car.

Guo Peng quickly leaned forward, scrutinizing the silhouette ahead.

After clearly seeing the silhouette, Guo Peng was finally relieved.

"It’s not a person."

The zombie that was knocked down staggered back up and rushed swiftly toward Guo Peng’s vehicle.

"Damn, so fast."

"Quick, drive and hit it."

Guo Peng quickly said.

But at this moment, the zombie had already reached the front of the car,

leaping up!

Its hands landed on the windshield, frantically clawing at the wiper blades.

Bang bang bang!

Its head crazily slammed against the windshield.

Guo Peng was stunned, he had never seen a zombie like this.

Though it wasn’t raining, why was this zombie so agile?

No, that’s not right, even under heavy rain zombies aren’t this agile, who the hell has seen a zombie that can jump like this?

It could jump over a meter high.

Hiss!

Guo Peng and the driver inside the car took a sharp breath, awed by the sight of the zombie.

But Guo Peng quickly reacted, ready to open the car door to deal with the zombie.

However, looking at the gloomy sky outside, he realized that getting out was very unwise. If another zombie like this showed up, it would be too dangerous.
