Apocalypse: My Sweetie Is Tough but Cute
Chapter 484 - Chapter 484 Chapter 474 Chaos in the Safe Zone

Chapter 484: Chapter 474: Chaos in the Safe Zone Chapter 484: Chapter 474: Chaos in the Safe Zone Su Shu didn’t say whether it was or was not, and Tang Zelin didn’t ask again.

After a brief rest of a few hours, a pre-dawn blue began to spread across the sky.

The squad geared up and continued deeper into the mountains.

Deep in the mountains of Pengcheng, Tang Zelin and Su Shu searched for the ten missing children.

Qu Guo’an in City C suddenly received an order from his superiors to rapidly gather a portion of the troops and head north to provide assistance.

What the support was for wasn’t specified, just that a portion of the troops needed to be sent north.

From the moment Qu Guo’an received the orders, he was frantic at headquarters as the group captain wasn’t at the main camp, and it was unclear what to do.

Moreover, the weather was getting colder, and not just sending troops north, but even maintaining daily order in the region wasn’t easy.

The soldiers had been understaffed long-term, malnutrition was prevalent, and now a large-scale troop deployment? Was it a prelude to war in the north, or were the strange creatures in the north really breaking through as previously speculated?

If it were the latter case, matters would be even worse.

Qu Guo’an thought a lot, but as a military man, obeying orders was his sacred duty regardless of the many difficulties faced by Group 208.

Once orders were issued from above, they had to be executed.

Qu Guo’an assembled the troops overnight, detaching a portion of the force. With Tang Zelin away, he personally led the team to the front line.

A temporary new leader was left in charge of the safety zone.

Before departure, he told the communications soldiers to continue trying to make contact with Tang Zelin, who was out of town.

In the deep mountains, the signal was always poor, or perhaps, at this time, neither Qu Guo’an nor Tang Zelin had considered why Peng Mountain could wield such formidable power, enough even to block military communications.

Deep autumn, October.

This season was meant to be one of joy after the harvest, but this year, it greeted its first snowfall unusually early, several days earlier than in previous years.

In the safety zone, it suddenly became uncomfortably cold.

In the houses, it was damp and cold, chilling people to the bone and leaving them irritable, wishing to quickly escape this uncomfortable weather.

The frictions among people increased, and with not enough resources in the safety zone to protect against the cold, initially everyone could still follow commands, but later on, spurred by rumors, people began to loot.

The remaining forces, under emergency control, found it increasingly difficult to distribute resources fairly.

People no longer cared about taking turns; whoever managed to grab something considered it theirs.

Why should it be available to others and not to me?

The temporary military leader, almost militaristically, forcefully suppressed the chaos.

After this incident, not only did the military strengthen its defenses, but even the government staff began to contemplate various policies for dealing with the situation.

For the time being, it was safe, but as the weather continued to grow colder and resources became scarcer, incidents like this were bound to occur again.

In the safety zone, people who used to coexist peacefully now seemed, due to the chaos, to have grown colder toward each other.

The scenes of greeting each other had disappeared.

What could be seen were doors of every household tightly closed.

You stick to your own, I’ll stick to mine; the atmosphere in the safety zone was exceptionally heavy for a while.

Although the harsh winter had not truly arrived, the winter between people seemed to have already begun.

The elderly Ge family and Xiao’ai dared not go outside these days, nor did they dare let Xiao’ai out to play. The three of them stayed at home every day, hiding from a crisis that was unclear whether it was a natural disaster or a man-made calamity.
