Lu Yuan waited on the yacht until dark, but none of them returned. He had equipped everyone with high-performance walkie-talkies before departure, and the current snowy weather shouldn't have any impact. Even if they did freeze, it shouldn't be enough to damage all eight walkie-talkies.
For so long, none of them had contacted him via walkie-talkie. This unusual situation was not in line with Gu Nanfeng and Lin Yun's habits.
Clearly, they had encountered some unexpected situation and were temporarily unable to use the walkie-talkie. In this case, Lu Yuan dared not call them through the walkie-talkie, as the sound of the walkie-talkie might cause them trouble. Fortunately, there were eight people on the other end, and compared to that, it was much more dangerous for Lu Yuan to be alone on the yacht.
As darkness fell and the temperature dropped, the wind and snow outside seemed to intensify. Lu Yuan became increasingly restless on the yacht, frequently sneaking to the wheelhouse to observe the outside through the camera lens. But now he could see nothing but endless darkness.
At this moment, Lu Yuan was filled with regret. Even if he was freezing to death, he should have gone out with the others. At least he wouldn't be like this now, all alone on the yacht, squatting in the corner of the yacht's cockpit.
The hour hand on the watch gradually pointed to six o'clock. It has to be said that the mechanical watches stored in the space are much better than ordinary electronic watches; at least they can still keep time normally. Although it's not very late yet, it's already completely dark outside. After all, it's a cold winter, and the docks no longer have the bustling lights of the past.
As previously agreed, Gu Nanfeng and his group of eight should return to the yacht before 6:00 PM. Regardless of whether they return to the base or not, they must sail the yacht to a wide open sea. One reason is to avoid the yacht being targeted by malicious people or attacked by zombies at night if it is moored at the dock. Another reason is that the temperature will be lower at night, which may cause the seawater at the dock to freeze and freeze the yacht.
Although Lu Yuan was timid and afraid, he knew that he couldn't let the yacht get stuck at the dock. He had to sail the yacht away from the dock first. When they came back and couldn't find the yacht, they would definitely contact him, and then he could sail the yacht back to pick them up.
Lu Yuan used to be a procrastinator and never imagined that he would have such high execution ability. The moment he clearly felt the yacht drifting less and less, he started the yacht and sailed it away from the dock according to the method taught by Lin Yun and the others.
It was only then that he realized that if he lingered any longer and daydreamed any longer, he and the yacht might be frozen in place, becoming one with the land.
As planned, Lu Yuan sailed the yacht away from the harbor, while Qin Yuan and his group of eight followed the man in the trench coat who suddenly appeared, running further and further away.
However, while they were following the man in the trench coat to escape the so-called powerful "zombie king," they also realized that the man in the trench coat should be at least a level three or higher ability user. The group exchanged glances and became even more cautious around the man in the trench coat who was running ahead.
After it got completely dark, the man in the trench coat who was running in the lead finally stopped. He didn't seem worried that Gu Nanfeng and the others had fallen behind, and continued running forward, with Qin Yuan and Ji Lang close behind. Gu Nanfeng and Lin Yun, who were bringing up the rear, ran while observing their surroundings.
"Looks like we're heading into the city." Lin Yun looked down at the rooftops. Because of the long snowfall, the colorful three- or four-story villas that used to be unique to the port city were now just rooftops. This suburb used to be a distinctive feature of the port city, attracting many tourists. Further in from here was the city center. Lin Yun had been here a few times during missions, so he could roughly estimate their current location.
"This guy is strange. He's dressed even less than us, which is understandable given the lack of supplies, but his speed is just as good as Captain Qin's and Captain Ji's. I have a bad feeling about this." Gu Nanfeng said to Lin Yun while glancing at his wristwatch. This mechanical watch was a gift from his sister years ago. It was from a very old brand in R country, and it was quite expensive. He hadn't really liked these kinds of gifts before, but now he was quite glad that he was wearing this watch before the zombie attack, otherwise he wouldn't even know what time it was.
"Hopefully Lu Yuan has already sailed the yacht away." Lin Yun saw Gu Nanfeng looking at his watch and roughly knew that it was already past the return time they had agreed upon with Lu Yuan when they set off.
"Don't worry, Xiao Yuan definitely knows what to do." Although he was a little worried, Gu Nanfeng still had confidence in Lu Yuan. After all, even the dumbest person will grow when faced with a desperate situation, let alone Lu Yuan, who was not dumb.
"If we keep running, we'll probably be out of the walkie-talkie's range, right?" Lin Yun didn't stop, but he still wanted to use the walkie-talkie to let Lu Yuan know he was safe. Just as he was unzipping his pocket, he noticed that everyone in front of him had stopped.
“I’ve already tried, it didn’t work.” Pei Sihao, who was in front of Lin Yun and Gu Nanfeng, stopped and waved the walkie-talkie in his hand. “It’s out of range.”
"The city is just ahead. We don't know what's going on inside. He stopped, so we have to be careful." Yang Xiao, Zhong Qiang, and Wei Cheng also stopped some distance away from Qin Yuan and Ji Lang.
After Du Wenqing mutated, their small team only had Qin Yuan as a strong offensive ability user, and since he was a soldier, he always led the charge while Lin Yun covered the rear.
Now, their team has another member, Ji Lang, who actively consumes crystals to evolve, and he has instantly become the highest-level superhuman registered in the South China Base.
Therefore, when faced with the unknown, these two would always stand in front of everyone. This time, they made a gesture to the remaining six people behind them, and only then did they stop a dozen meters away from the two. After all, nothing was clear at the moment, and they couldn't afford to be wiped out by someone. In the apocalypse, one must be careful and cautious.
“We’ve run this far, by now that the ‘Zombie King’ would have caught up by now,” Ji Lang shouted at the man in the trench coat standing less than five meters in front of him. “Where are you taking us?”
"A zombie king?" The man in the trench coat straightened his tattered coat. Although it was already quite worn, he still wanted it to look neat. Then he smiled politely at the eight people behind him. "What 'zombie king'? I don't know anything about him."
"What do you mean?" Seeing the man in the trench coat, Qin Yuan immediately became alert. He put one hand behind his back and quickly made a hand gesture.
