Chapter 661: 356 New to Long Province

After eliminating the Zombie Rats, there were no further incidents in the latter half of the night, just the occasional few zombies or Mutant Beasts being attracted by the noise. As their numbers were not large, they didn’t cause any trouble, and the people on night watch easily dealt with them.

Bai Ye had started absorbing the Crystal Core in the vehicle, and later, when everyone else went to rest, Fang Yuxin led him and his family into the Qingmu Spiritual Mansion. He also created an illusion in the vehicle, so if anyone suddenly opened the car door, they would only believe they were cultivating or resting inside.

Within Qingmu Spiritual Mansion, the Spiritual Energy was rich and with the Spirit Gathering Array, cultivation was doubly effective. Aside from Qu Qianhe and Fang Yuxin, who barely lifted a finger, everyone else was quite exhausted. So as soon as they entered the Mansion, they began to meditate and cultivate.

The night quickly passed, but the heavy rain kept pouring down without any sign of stopping. Fortunately, it was already daylight, and the rain was no longer a concern. Shang Jinxiu took out some compressed biscuits and milk from her space, and after a simple breakfast, they continued on their journey.

The road ahead was relatively calm, although they occasionally encountered Zombie Groups, sometimes human zombies, sometimes animal zombies. But the previous performances of the Fang Family and the Bai Family had instilled confidence in everyone, so they were no longer nervous. Under Bai Zhengli’s command, they cleared the zombies in an orderly manner.

Sometimes they would see other survivors from a distance, but they were far away, and seeing that their group was quite large, the others were probably wary and did not approach or initiate conversation. Bai Zhengli and his group aimed for Long Province, so even though they guessed there must be survivor bases nearby, they didn’t go there. Until at last, they reached Long Province.

Long Province was vast, with many cities, counties, and villages. Because the place was so large, the population density was very low, and all one could see were vast fields or forests. Sadly, since the apocalypse, zombies and mutated creatures had ravaged the land, turning farms and forests into either scarred wastelands or primitive jungles.

The population here was over thirty million, but most had gone to Market, Beishi City, and other first-tier cities, leaving not many people behind. This made the population density even sparser, and the threat of zombies was not as great.

However, Long Province had vast mountain ranges, home to many wild animals. After the apocalypse, these animals either turned into zombies or mutated into Mutant Beasts, with the remaining unmutated ones almost becoming food. These wild animals were agile and powerful, making them more formidable than ordinary people turned zombies or superpower users, posing a significant problem for the local survivors.

No sooner had Fang Yuxin’s group entered Long Province than Shang Jinxiu and the cooking team began preparing food, but before the meal was ready, a strong stench wafted over from a distance.

The Scouts responsible for sentry duty ran back quickly, blowing their whistles while running to signal danger. Using whistles as an alarm was Bai Ye’s idea. After the Zombie Rat incident, he realized they could not continue like that. So, he had people make whistles from thin bamboo, one for each person.

The shrill sound of a whistle could travel far and be blown instantly, far simpler than shouting! Bai Ye had specifically selected speed superpower users from four battle teams to form a Reconnaissance Team. These people were tasked with scouting for enemy intelligence and providing outer perimeter warnings.

When the team stopped for a rest, these individuals would spread out around the camp in the further areas, and should an enemy appear, they would blow their whistles. The louder and more urgent the whistle’s sound, the more severe the situation.

This time, when the whistle sounded, its tone was incredibly urgent—a clear sign of a serious situation!

Upon hearing the sound, the people in the camp instantly tensed up, stood from their positions, and looked in the direction of the noise. Then, they saw what seemed to be a large mass of shadows in the distance.

The people sent out as Scouts were all second-level or Level 1 Peak and nearing second-level speed superpower users, quite fast indeed. As they got closer, they took the whistles from their mouths and shouted, "Everyone, be alert! A group of Zombie Beasts is approaching from afar! There are over ten thousand of them, the kind of fierce animals only found in the forest!"
