Gu Bei and Xiao Ruobing drove off-road vehicles 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 ten percent of people 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 wander around unconsciously and make 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 roadside, Gu Bei found another temporary 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 returned to their hometown with a full meal and no danger.
However, as the car approached the third ring road, there were more and more zombies around.
At the beginning, Gu Bei could easily use his powers to blow the zombie's head off with an ice pick.
However, after many times and over time, 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 had to cross the entire city.
City C is only a second-tier city, but its population has reached seven to eight million people.
If the proportion is half, then when the end of the world has just arrived, 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 be able to survive!
However, among 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 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..."
The villa area is definitely less densely populated than the 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 marriage contract 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, so she nodded repeatedly.
"In this case, the situation in the city is not good. Let's wait outside to see if there are 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 man, 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 like 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 user had a frightened expression on his face, "And those ordinary people are pitiful~~~"
He did not continue what he said, but both Gu Bei and Xiao Ruobing understood the meaning.
It seems that the extremely powerful fire element user in front of me can barely escape, and the parents of Gu and Xiao are probably--
"I advise you not to go to the south of the city. It has become a paradise for monsters!"
The fire element user saw that Gu Bei and Xiao Ruobing were still unwilling to give up despite being sad and angry, and gave them some 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!"
"And the Chengnan villa area 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-rending 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, and there will be too many separations, families, and lives lost.
Even they themselves have mostly experienced life, death and suffering.
Cry, vent, wipe 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 set up his own laboratory.
And, most importantly, Gu Nan's laboratory is in D City next door.
The straight-line distance is just over a hundred kilometers. By car, it can be reached in one or two hours under normal circumstances.
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 D City? What a coincidence, we are going too!"
The fire superpower said with a smile, "You should have heard about it. Dr. Gu Nangu at the Hope Base in D City 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 little 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, the development of 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. The fire-type superpower is a superpower himself.
Not only did he not think it was terrible and anti-human for Gu Nan to conduct experiments on people with superpowers, but he felt that the other person was a hero and the true savior of all mankind.
However, Gu Bei and Xiao Ruobing did not listen to the words that the fire superpowers defended 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 I have 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 dad turned into a zombie, and our mom—"
"Uncle Xiao and his wife were bitten by the mutated dog at home and died from treatment!"
Sure enough, the group was wiped out!
Although they had already guessed the outcome, Gu Bei and Xiao Ruobing couldn't help but burst into tears after hearing Gu Nan's words with their own ears.
After crying for quite a while, Gu Nan became a little impatient, and then Gu Bei and the two slowly stopped crying.
Then, it’s time to file a complaint!
When they arrived at the Hope Base, they felt the respect for Gu Nan from top to bottom, from 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, he already 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 connected with 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 who he has not been with for a long time.
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 dominate and kill the weak. Gu Nan didn't reject 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 cast 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, who 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 of City B, but he still made a request for "revenge", which did 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 to "kill two birds with one stone", but when they finally arrived at the north of City B after going through all the troubles and taking a month and a half, they saw the large-scale and well-guarded base. Feeling dumbfounded...
