Chapter 1817 - 981: Nuclear Radiation Zombies

"Send one person from each bunker, and then we’ll lure the zombies away together. Everyone has to contribute. If they refuse, then they have to provide 500 jin of food as compensation."

"That much? I don’t think they’d agree," Song Tianyi said.

Lin Zhengzhong’s eyes were cold, "Whether they want to or not, they must contribute. There’s no such thing as wanting to avoid work, not contributing, and just watching others take risks."

"When will we take action?"

"As soon as possible. There are a lot of issues right now, and we have to solve them one by one. My plan is to start tomorrow."

"Alright, then send someone with me; I’ll inform the other bunkers."

"OK."

...

One day later.

Song Tianyi watched as someone from one of the bunkers refused to cooperate and was accidentally killed by Lin Zhengzhong’s angry men.

No turning back now—the person’s wife and daughter were also killed.

The bunker’s resources were divided among the others, who looked at Lin Zhengzhong with a strange expression.

He felt that something seemed to have changed and decided he would never easily open the bunker door again, he thought to himself.

These people all had some standing, and the bunker they built not only had a complete power system, but also a defense system, and even food and energy were prepared for them.

They weren’t lacking resources, and over the last three years, they were basically at peace.

They would occasionally contact each other via walkie-talkie, but overall.

They maintained a relatively harmonious atmosphere.

But all this changed with the arrival of nuclear radiation zombies.

Lin Zhengzhong was wrapped tightly, standing in the building hall of the estate, speaking to the representatives of the surrounding bunkers:

"The bunker was built by me, purchased by you before Doomsday, so technically, you are my clients.

But now it’s Doomsday, and the nuclear radiation zombies must be dealt with, otherwise everyone will die.

If you don’t want to take risks and refuse to contribute something, you’re infringing on everyone’s interests and opposing all of us. Old Liu was right; this time, the resources obtained will be shared equally!

Remember, we are one body, and we must unite. Don’t keep thinking about trying to take the easy way out. If everyone depends on others, there’s only one outcome for all of us: a dead end!

.....

The surroundings were silent.

After a few seconds.

Someone said, "I support Mr. Lin’s decision. He’s right. If everyone doesn’t contribute, in the end, we’ll all be done for."

"Support."

"Support."

"Support."

.....

A chorus of approval.

Lin Zhengzhong smiled, a sense of ambition slowly growing in his heart.

He waved his hand broadly, speaking to everyone:

"As per the plan, gather here in an hour, and let’s go lure the nuclear radiation zombies away!"

The crowd dispersed.

......

Deep in Wuyi Mountain.

A group of four was fully clothed, carrying bags on their shoulders as they passed through the forest.

"Hey, Tui Zi, do you really know the way?" An Sheng was sweating, expressing disbelief.

"I know the way; just keep going west, and we’ll definitely get out of Wuyi Mountain. Trust me."

"I really don’t believe it; when we came here, I remember this wasn’t the route we took, and we’ve been walking for almost a day now."

"Not quite a day; you’re exaggerating."

.....

Watching the two bicker, Chen Delong shook his head, seeing a shady hillside ahead, dense with tree crowns blocking the sunlight, perfectly suited for a rest.

So he said to the two, "Stop yapping, let’s rest up ahead."

Upon hearing the word "rest," the three, already exhausted, relaxed and hurried to the spot.

Tui Zi walked the fastest, rushing at the forefront.

When he arrived, he was surprised to find a gap four or five meters away, and at the gap... there was a zombie...

A zombie?

And a glowing zombie!

"Oh my god! A nuclear radiation zombie!" Tui Zi’s scalp tingled, feeling as if his soul leaped out in fright.

Sitting down initially, he hurriedly fled away.

Roar!

The nuclear radiation zombie hiding from the sunlight noticed humans, and meat delivered to its mouth can’t simply be ignored.

So it charged towards Tui Zi.

Tui Zi wished he had an extra pair of legs, desperately running away.

"Zombie, nuclear radiation zombie!"

The original group was chilled, hearing this.

At Big Camphor Tree Base, they’d already learned about nuclear radiation zombies, knowing contact led to nuclear contamination and inevitable death.

This type of zombie couldn’t be fought at close range.

For cooperative personnel like them without guns, seeing one meant only one thing: run.

They helped the stumbling Tui Zi up, picked a random direction, and fled desperately.

The nuclear radiation zombie behind them disliked the sunlight but could still move in it.

Its speed would be slower, and limb agility greatly reduced.

Seeing the zombie unfazed by solar radiation, they were frightened, fleeing without looking back.

Run.

Run like mad; they felt their throats burning.

The solar radiation was intense, with temperatures rising, probably over thirty degrees.

Being wrapped head to toe only made them hotter.

After half an hour of running.

They gasped heavily under the shade of a tree.

"How come this thing isn’t afraid of such intense sunlight?" Tui Zi complained.

"Luckily, we all escaped. Did that zombie touch you?"

Tui Zi shook his head quickly, "No, no."

Suddenly.

A sharp horn sounded.

Beep beep beep beep!

??

Chen Delong quickly raised his head and said to the three, "Southwest direction, let’s check it out."

"Let’s go."

Without further words, the group ran towards it.

They’d been walking the mountain for a whole day, never finding their way out, so hearing a human-made sound meant at least that direction could lead out.

Soon.

On the mountain top, they saw the valley below.

In the valley, a national road traversed through.

And to the west, was the exit.

Once out of Wuyi Mountain, they’d enter Gansheng.

Walking west for a day or two would lead them to Big Camphor Tree Base.

"Are we out?" Tui Zi asked excitedly.

"Don’t talk!" Chen Delong scolded.

He saw that on the national road, several cars were blasting their horns loudly.

These cars had several dead bodies hanging on them.

They were bloody and gory, with blood flowing.

Behind these cars, thousands of zombies followed like the one they just encountered.

Nuclear radiation zombies!

"W-What is this?" Tui Zi was astounded by the scene.

Chen Delong’s face showed anger, saying,

"We have to be fast, really fast, and hurry back to the base to report this. We can’t let those nuclear radiation zombies reach Gan City, or the base is doomed."

After speaking, he memorized the license plates of the vehicles.

....

Big Camphor Tree Base.

First Outer City.

Li Yu rushed over, asking Dong Ying, "Are you sure? The magnetic storm has passed?"

"Positive; look at the magnetic storm detector, it shows it’s dropped to a safe level."

Li Yu quickly asked further, "So we can turn the main power on? Restore full power to the base?"

"Theoretically yes, but I suggest turning on one by one, just in case there’s an issue, so the whole system won’t collapse," Old Dong added on the side.

Li Yu nodded excitedly and said, "Alright, let’s try switching on the base’s circuit breaker first."

Upon hearing Li Yu’s words, Li Hang immediately ran outside.

Li Yu also tried the walkie-talkie to contact the duty room.

"Duty room, duty room, this is Li Yu, can you hear me?"

Buzz—buzz—

"Xiao Yu? The walkie-talkie is working?" Second Uncle’s voice came over the walkie-talkie.

Li Yu was delighted.

Finally, God, it’s working.
