Chapter 1039: Chapter 1036: Shelter Army

"Forget it, no matter what it is, let’s not bother with it. Let’s hurry up and move this flour,"

"Alright."

Following Brother Jiang Hong’s words, the others didn’t want to approach the meatball either, and quickly backed away.

But just as they had changed their minds, the meatball in the hole suddenly emitted a sharp sound; then the meatball began to split, and half a human body crawled out from the bottom, baring its ferocious mouth at them, revealing two rows of terrifyingly sharp teeth!

F*ck!"

Brother Jiang Hong quickly reacted, raising his gun and firing at the monster’s head! A laser "whooshed" and directly blew the half-human monster’s head apart! Gooey black-yellow pus and blood splattered everywhere.

Before anyone could catch their breath, a bundle of sharp-toothed tentacles squirmed out of the half-human monster’s severed neck, heading towards them!

"Damn, what the hell is this!"

The soldiers were taken by surprise; they were all low-level military affiliates of the Peace Party, and among the six, only Brother Jiang Hong was a Level 1 New Human. They were no match for the monster’s tentacle attack. In an instant, over a dozen tentacles had ensnared all six, pulling them toward the meatball as it continuously emitted sharp shrieks. The tentacles writhed, dragging the six towards the meatball.

"Ah! Help!"

"No!..."

Several horrifying screams resounded; the meatball split open and swallowed them whole, silencing the screams abruptly, and all went quiet. The surface of the meatball then showed white threads that covered it completely, and inside its belly, it seemed to be nurturing something.

Another group of twelve people arrived from the south of the city the next day at three in the afternoon, each one clad in heavy modular armor.

The weapons they carried were structurally similar to those from before the Apocalypse, and the back of their vests were embroidered with [Longyang City Cigong Official Sanctuary].

The above details undoubtedly indicated that these people were not Peace Party soldiers, for regarding the weapons in their hands and armor they wore, both were far too primitive for today’s Survivor Forces.

"Sun Wen, you didn’t see anyone as you came over?"

"Where are the people? We didn’t even see a zombified hair."

"Where did the people on the surface go?"

The burly man named Sun Wen randomly picked a rock to sit upon, possibly because the thick armor he wore was too hot, so he quickly unfastened his buckles and took off the armor, which made him feel much cooler.

This group of people were among the luckiest of all survivors; each individual had been a wealthy person with substantial assets before the Apocalypse. In the two days before the post-apocalyptic outbreak, they received evacuation broadcast from a government-established sanctuary and hastily brought their families to a sanctuary in Longyang City.

But the demand for shelter was simply too great. To sustain a longer survivability on the surface, those damn bureaucrats actually instituted a class system, only accommodating those engaged in socially essential professions like doctors, teachers, scientists, and farmers. The admittance of these individuals took up about a quarter of the sanctuary’s capacity, leaving inadequate space for everyone else.

This made things difficult, so the officials then proposed to use money as a means to buy their way in.

To stay alive, the wealthy spent fortunes, almost shedding most of their wealth, to secure a spot in the sanctuary. As for the poor, they were simply left to fend for themselves.

Among these tycoons was Sun Wen, a renowned entrepreneur in Longyang City. Initially, Sun Wen had regretted spending a fortune for a chance to survive, but as time spent in the sanctuary grew longer, he felt increasingly fortunate that he had bought his life with money!

Because underground, the currency from before the Apocalypse had turned into worthless paper. The only thing of trading value now was the newly issued food currency!

Essentially, he had traded a pile of worthless paper for a priceless treasure! How could this not be worth it?

But in the sanctuary, having money wasn’t everything like before the Apocalypse. Everyone was treated the same. Therefore, wealthy individuals like Sun Wen also became part of the guard team, and they had survived the darkest period of the post-apocalyptic era.

After shedding his armor, with a sigh of relief, Sun Wen casually picked a large chunk of yellow-green nasal mucus from his nose and unabashedly stuffed it into his mouth.

"Where else could we go? Either we find a bigger sanctuary, or everyone is dead. It has been three days; have you seen anyone else?"

As he spoke, Sun Wen swung his knife, chopping down the piles of zombified plants beside him, revealing the bare walls. The entire Longyang City had been completely overtaken by these zombified plants or some evolved varieties.

From a distance, many collapsed skyscrapers could be seen, this lush destruction reached upward, the yellowed zombified plants struggling to climb higher, creating a striking contrast of green battling against yellow.

At the same time, the aura of the apocalypse was heavy. On the surface, people in the sanctuary were living relatively well, but just a week ago, the nuclear power plant malfunctioned and stopped generating electricity. To avoid worsening things, the staff abandoned repairs. Without electricity, the artificial ecosystem could not continue, and without this system’s cycle, the sanctuary’s inhabitants faced a great food crisis.

Thus, people began to prepare in advance. The sanctuary opened up, and the military came to the surface to search for supplies, curious to see what the situation was like now. Optimistic folks fantasized that perhaps the surface dwellers had already ended their apocalyptic suffering, while pessimists thought the surface world was rife with endless dangers. When the military appeared on the surface, what greeted them were zombies that had evolved to a state completely unlike any earthly creatures!

After they arrived, what they saw was entirely unexpected. For three days, they hadn’t spotted a single person. The entire world was terrifyingly silent. The only thing they encountered was a bizarre zombie with a silver body; because it was undying, the army from the sanctuary had captured it alive for research underground.

After searching for three days, there were no desirable supplies left on the wastelands of Longyang City; everything had already been scavenged completely.

Zombies were hard to encounter, living humans even more so. Compared to when they had just exited the sanctuary, they were no longer as serious, mainly because there was no danger, and the August weather was still hot. The Level 1 New Humans were sweltering in their heavy armor, seeing Sun Wen strip it off, no one stopped him.

Even some of them followed Sun Wen’s lead and took off their armor as well.

Just as several people were about to take a break, suddenly, a voice from a companion was heard.

"Hey, look there, is that a car?"
