Chapter 1761 - 959: The Storm That Will Eventually Be Reached

Guo Peng quickly contacted the Big Camphor Tree Base to inform them of their current location.

Second Uncle received the message and had Old Lv and Song Min prepare to welcome them in advance.

Six minutes later.

The roar of car engines suddenly erupted outside.

Second Uncle hurriedly walked out of the duty room, switched on the searchlight, and directed it at the intersection, simultaneously using his telescope to observe the outside.

As they turned a corner, under the light, he saw the people in the lead vehicle.

At the same time, the walkie-talkie chimed in.

"We’ve arrived."

Screech—

A harsh mechanical sound echoed as the gate was opened with a bang.

Just moments ago, Old Bi, who was guarding around the gate, noticed several zombies appear outside the Big Camphor Tree Base and dealt with them immediately.

However, to be safe, he had shut the gate before Guo Peng’s group arrived.

Rumble rumble rumble!

After the gate was opened, the vehicle Xia Luo was in drove straight inside.

Dozens of vehicles followed in succession.

At this moment, there was no need to queue outside; they should come inside first.

Soon, Guo Peng’s convoy entered Weng City.

In Weng City, the street lights were turned on, illuminating the entire city.

Even two searchlights were focused on them.

Around them, Old Bi, Xiao Jun, Uncle, and others were armed with guns, vigilantly watching these incoming people.

They just learned that Guo Peng’s group encountered a special type of zombie on the road, who knows if any zombies managed to climb onto the vehicles.

They must remain vigilant.

The lights were too bright, causing Guo Peng, who was accustomed to the dim exterior, to squint.

Step step—

He got off the vehicle, shielding the light directly facing him with one hand.

Once he adjusted to the brightness, he put down his hand and saw Uncle and others, fully armed, holding guns at them about ten meters away.

His mind was a bit clouded.

What’s this?

At this moment, Uncle shouted to the people getting off, "Everyone get off, lean against the East Wall, and queue up for inspection."

Guo Peng was puzzled, his eyes filled with confusion.

Seeing his expression, Old Bi explained, "Routine inspection, follow along, Director Li wants to see you later."

Guo Peng relaxed and complied one by one.

Noble Consort and Dongfeng were at the rear truck compartment, completely unaware of what just happened on the road, only knowing they stopped for a while.

But now, having successfully reached the Big Camphor Tree Base, they too relaxed.

Entering the Big Camphor Tree Base, they were generally safe.

They followed Uncle’s instructions, queued for inspection.

Putting down luggage, handing over weapons, going through detection gates, followed by body searches.

Afterward, they matched photos and registered names.

On the other side, Xiao Jun and others, wearing anti-explosion suits and helmets, inspected each vehicle that entered.

Ensuring no zombies or dangers were under the vehicles.

Soon.

Xiao Jun and others completed their inspection, then drove the vehicles into the first outer city, which contained some of Guo Peng’s group belongings.

Guo Peng was now an outer city member and could place personal items, except for weapons, inside their residence.

Although Guo Peng, Zhu Xiao, Xiao Hu, Ahong, and Huang Zheng, five white outer city members from the satellite city, were stationed there and rarely returned to the Big Camphor Tree Base.

They were still part of the outer city, having their own beds and rooms in the first outer city.

After Guo Peng and Xia Luo’s group passed the inspection, they were allowed into the first outer city.

However, just as Guo Peng was about to head into the first outer city, Old Bi stopped him.

"The City Lord wants to see you, you should come with me," Old Bi said.

Guo Peng naturally nodded, guessing it might be related to the zombie encounter earlier on the road and wanting to delve into it.

Thus, he followed Old Bi towards the wall.

Squeak—

The duty room’s door was opened, and sitting inside, watching the cameras, Li Yu turned his head upon hearing the sound and saw Guo Peng.

"City Lord."

"City Lord, I’ve brought Guo Peng over."

Li Yu nodded and said to Old Bi, "Alright, you can go busy with your tasks."

"Okay." Old Bi glanced at Guo Peng and then exited the duty room, closing the door on his way out.

Outside, the wind was strong; keeping the door open would not only let the wind in but also add noise.

Quietness settled in the duty room.

Sitting beside Li Yu were Song Min and Dapao, Li Tie.

Li Yu pointed to the chair in front and said to Guo Peng, "Sit down, tell me about the zombie you encountered."

Guo Peng sat down, but only occupied one-third of the seat, his back straight, looking like a stick.

Every time he saw Li Yu, he inexplicably felt nervous, coupled with Li Yu’s expressionless demeanor, which was quite daunting.

Seeing him like this, Li Yu said, "Take your time, don’t be nervous."

Guo Peng took a deep breath, organized his thoughts, and slowly started to speak:

"On the national highway near the Panlong Road, we were driving along when suddenly a zombie charged from the nearby field."

"This zombie was exceptionally fast, faster than any zombie I’ve seen before. It rushed to the middle of the road and headed directly towards our vehicle.

Then it jumped up!"

"Jumped up? How high could it jump?" Li Yu asked thoughtfully.

Guo Peng quickly stood up, gesturing to approximate the height and said, "The car I was in was an off-road vehicle, about a meter tall. The zombie directly jumped on top.

It grabbed onto the windshield wiper.

We braked urgently, and the zombie began ramming its head fiercely against our windshield.
