Chapter 50 - Chapter 50: A Turbulent Landscape

Several people worked together to pull me out of the cab.

I dusted myself off and stood up.

The blood from my forehead dyed my eyes red, making my vision a little blurry.

"Are you crazy??"

As soon as he stood firm, Xiao Leng said angrily, "So much blood has been shed!"

I waved my hand quickly, "It's okay..."

"And he said it was okay!"

Xiao Leng's voice was filled with tears, and he rushed towards me the next second.

"Don't move!"

Xiao Leng took out a tissue from the bag behind him and motioned for me to squat down to check the wound on my forehead.

However, I took the tissue from her hand and simply wiped the blood, and my vision became clearer.

Before the bleeding stopped, a piece of glass was embedded in the flesh of his forehead.

In fact, the injury is not serious, but it looks a little scary.

But if the piece of glass had been lowered an inch, it would have exploded my eyeball.

It would be a lie to say that I am not afraid.

I put my hand on Xiao Leng's head and said gently, "Wait for me for a moment, we need to get out of here as soon as possible."

Walking towards the overturned van, the tempered glass of the van was scattered everywhere.

I grabbed some scattered supplies from the car and threw them deep into the bushes.

It looked like we had an accident and hurriedly got out of the car and fled into the dense forest.

After everything was done, I raised my head and said, "Let's go, be careful not to leave any traces."

The three of them understood what I meant.

Li Xiang held the rifle and nodded at me, "You go ahead."

"Um."

Xiao Leng's eyes next to me changed from confusion to distress, and he helped me move forward.

Jiang Xiaoman followed behind, and Li Xiang was responsible for breaking up the rear.

In five minutes, we traveled about a kilometer.

When he turned back and looked in the direction of the bridge, there was already a huge thing pressing on the bridge.

Soldiers in combat uniforms followed on both sides.

Are they still chasing you? !

"hidden!"

I shouted, and everyone immediately squatted down.

The place we are in is a ruins. Although there are obstructions, the overall field of vision is wide. If we move around at this time, we will definitely be discovered by them.

I pulled Xiao Leng and hid behind the broken wall, and my face didn't look very good.

The huge metal thing pressing on the bridge gives people a sense of oppression as if it is lifeless.

The direction the thick barrel points is death...

What shocked me was how quickly they responded.

In less than ten minutes, this team was almost following our trail.

Why?

Are we worthy of such a massive effort?

A huge shadow enveloped my heart. They killed the group of people and sprinkled some kind of liquid on the corpses. The flesh and blood re-aggregated, and disgusting compound eyes grew on the human faces.

They are creating monsters...

The huge thing at the end of the bridge stopped for a moment.

A few people who looked like officers were chatting, and two minutes later, they started again, crossing the bridge and heading towards the main road.

My suspenseful heart gradually relaxed. They did not pursue the bushes.

Maybe they were just passing by and their target was not us.

We waited until the last group of people crossed the bridge before we continued our journey.

It's not easy to walk in the ruins. There are steel and concrete everywhere, so it's easy to get scratched if you're not careful.

In the afternoon, we walked back to the air raid shelter carrying two bags of supplies.

No one said anything, so he walked down the stone steps of the air raid shelter, opened the door of the base, and walked into the corridor.

Everyone remained silent.

Xiao Leng's face was ashen, and he still hadn't gotten over the shock.

The scene I saw today was too bloody and weird.

I held her hand tightly while my head was digesting some information.

The first point is that tanks have entered the city. How many armed forces have they stationed in?

And the booby traps in the warehouse were probably set by them.

That booby trap turned the dozen or so people at Tenghui Real Estate into compound-eyed monsters covered in pitch-black mucus.

They hold the secret to this disaster.

At least they know where these monsters all over the city come from!

But making monsters for fun?

Or there are other purposes...

I can't explain clearly, that kind of behavior seems more like pure fun to me.

"Are you back?"

A crisp voice rang in my ears, and when I looked up, Xu Xinyi was trotting towards us.

She and Li Chong were sitting by the lift, and they should have been chatting just now.

Li Chong also stood up and walked over with a smile.

But the two of them soon discovered that something was not right about the atmosphere.

"What's wrong, Brother Lin, are you injured?"

Xu Xinyi frowned immediately and came over to hold Xiao Leng's hand.

"what happens..."

Li Chong stood not far away, the smile that originally hung on his face gradually solidified.

"Brother, will something happen?"

"Come here, tell me."

I raised my head and looked at everyone. This matter was not as simple as it seemed.

The corner of the operating area is filled with supplies.

All food is covered with moisture-proof cloth.

Food, including rice cereals, lined an entire wall.

These are the foods we have been searching for these past few days.

Two supermarkets were emptied out.

Today, according to our plan, the warehouse was vacated within a week.

However, something like this happened.

"We encountered troops."

I spoke in a deep voice.

Li Chong and Xu Xinyi's pupils suddenly tightened.

"Did they discover this place?"

I shook my head: "But it's better not to go out in the near future. The van is lost and there are no supplies nearby to search for."

Li Xiang nodded in agreement, "I'm afraid the real war is about to begin."

He also realized the seriousness.

It just makes me wonder, the disaster plunged most of the area into anarchy.

Including Lingnan City, the survivors stayed in groups.

In the ruins after the nuclear bomb explosion, apart from monsters and radiation everywhere, what else is worth attacking?

"x, they may be affiliated with x."

In deep thought, I spoke subconsciously, and everyone looked at me.

Xiao Leng dug out alcohol and gauze from the pile of supplies.

She reached out to me to clean the wound on my forehead.

I pressed my hand gently and asked Xiao Leng to wait for a while.

"The combat uniforms worn by this unit are exactly the same as the foreigner I met when exchanging supplies last time."

I recalled the scene that day, "On his arm, he wore an armband with an 'x' symbol."

Several people were shocked, and Li Xiang reacted, "This x also appeared on that corpse."

The man who broke into the bomb shelter.

But the nameplate hanging around the man's neck was not written in a foreign language.

The men are also Asian.

Is there any connection between them?

Perhaps through this connection, we can guess what kind of organization this 'x' is.

I seemed to have grasped some key points while I was deep in thought.

Xiao Leng quietly took out the cotton swab, which was moistened with alcohol.

"It might hurt a little."

Xiao Leng said, leaning down towards me.

However, the next moment, Xiao Leng's surprised voice sounded, "Brother... you..."

"Your wound has healed??"
