After crossing, I will open a shop in the end of the world

Chapter 535 A Big Help

The vast wilderness.

The quiet night seemed unusually "lively".

On a desolate plain, a dilapidated car roars to life. Its rapid speed whips up a sandstorm. Behind the sandstorm, countless black dots, punctuated by scarlet spots, follow at breakneck speed.

Zooming in, some figures were those of four-clawed animals, each with crimson eyes. Others were shadows of two-legged creatures running, but their presence among them did nothing to slow down the group of dark figures. They were all heading in the same direction, directly towards Dawn Base.

This is not a beast tide, but a zombie tide formed by zombie beasts and zombies together.

Inside the off-road vehicle ahead.

"They're too fast, can they go any faster, Wu Shang?"

Wu Bai looked in the rearview mirror from the passenger seat, his palms sweating.

"I've already driven fast enough, this piece of junk's performance is what it is." Wu Shang was unusually irritable. "I said before that I'd get a better car, but everyone said it's fine for now!"

“If we get back safely this time, I’ll fully support getting a better car, even if we have to buy it on credit.” Wu Bai’s expression was a little distorted. “No, they’re catching up soon. Xiao Gong, open the sunroof.”

Gong Liao understood and acted swiftly. Wu Bai unbuckled his seatbelt, stood up, and slipped his upper body out.

"My goodness."

Wu Bai looked at the vast expanse behind him and swallowed hard.

It has to be said that this was the biggest zombie horde he had ever seen, but he quickly adjusted his mindset.

"I need to give them some trouble," he muttered to himself, an icy blue light gathering at the corner of his eyes.

Ice.

Spikes.

Ice-based superpowers erupted from his body, accompanied by the crisp sound of ice crystals growing, and ice spikes sprouted from the ground without warning.

Bang! The horde of zombies collided with the ice spikes with a loud bang. The horde's advance was significantly slowed, and there was a scare that could cause a small-scale stampede.

it works.

Wu Bai was overjoyed.

However, his joy was short-lived, as the shadows slowly crept up the ice spikes and silently devoured them.

Everything happened quite suddenly.

The ice spike shattered in an instant.

In the moment of Wu Bai's astonishment, a solid shadow shot straight at his brow like an arrow. Taking advantage of the darkness, Wu Bai only realized the attack when the shadow was already inches away, about to pierce his brow in the next instant.

too late.

That's too late.

In an instant, the jet-white color turned pale.

Can't escape.

Extreme fear made Wu Bai lose consciousness, and he did not notice anything pressing on his shoulder at that moment.

Just before being pierced by the shadow, Wu Bai's supernatural power started operating on its own, as if it were being drawn by something.

A massive burst of supernatural power erupted, and a snowflake-shaped ice crystal condensed between his brows, firmly blocking the shadow.

Wu Bai was surprised by his own ability. Just as he thought it was the potential that had erupted in his moment of crisis, he felt a weight on his shoulder. Turning his head, he saw a round, orange cat climbing on his shoulder.

The orange cat noticed the look he was giving and glanced at him.

“…”, Wu Bai felt that he saw disdain in it.

"What happened?" Gong Liao asked. "Wu Bai, are you alright?"

"That was close!" Wu Bai replied, then shouted, "Wu Shang, we have to speed up! We'll have to replace this car once it's totaled. There's a zombie king in the horde!"

Wu Shang, Gong Liao, Tian Wu: "Huh?!"

"Can it hold on?"

Wu Bai: "It's alright, Boss Yun's cat is so useful!"

He has already discovered the use of the orange cat amplifier.

The ice spikes grew back, this time with an ability strength comparable to level five.

inside the car.

Tian Wu stared anxiously at the communicator in his hand, closed his eyes and prayed. Perhaps his sincerity moved the heavens, for the communicator, which had been silent for a long time, was finally connected.

"Hello, this is the Dawn Base City Defense Department." The voice on the other end of the communicator seemed relaxed.

Tian Wu shouted, "Activate the highest alert level at Dawn Base immediately! The zombie horde is coming! A massive zombie horde!!"

"what?!"

The voice on the other end seemed not to have reacted yet: "Who are you?"

Tian Wu was getting impatient: "Sharp Blade Squad, we are Sharp Blade Squad, quickly notify Elder Wei of the base, the zombie horde is coming."

Fearing they still wouldn't believe him, he stuck the communicator out the window and shouted, "Listen, that's all the sounds of zombies!"

“There are also many corrupted alien beasts!” Wu Bai added loudly.

Wu Shang gave a time limit: "We have twenty-five minutes to reach the base, and those monsters are not far behind us!"

"Damn, why are you only notifying me now?" The voice on the other end seemed to be tinged with anxiety.

"I wanted to ask that too! What kind of garbage communicator did Dawn Base send out! It's only now that it's working!" Tian Wu said indignantly.

However, this is not the fault of Dawn Base. They were unaware of it. The main reason was the energy influence of the third vulnerability point on the old communicator, although its age was also a factor.

At Dawn Base, alarms blared all at once.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

……

Inside a deserted, secluded building in a city of ruins.

"It's gone."

Yunyou looked at Nuoxin, who was clearly frightened. Upon hearing this, Nuoxin finally felt relieved and let out a long breath.

"I was terrified, these zombie kings in here are so scary."

Nuoxin patted her chest, then, as if she had finally remembered something, she looked at Yunyou with surprise on her face.

"Boss Yun, what are you doing here?"

To actually see an acquaintance in this zombie city, Noxin felt for the first time that she was blessed by the heavens.

Yun You thought for a moment and said, "There's something wrong with this city. Something I'm looking for should be in here. If I can't get it, it will cause a lot of trouble later."

Nuoxin thought for a moment, and just as she decided to stay and help Boss Yun find his things, Yun You spoke up.

"I'll take you out first. It's too dangerous in here. Otherwise, I might not be able to take care of you."

Noxin frowned: "Don't you need my help? More people will make things more efficient."

Yun You shook her head and refused, saying, "No, the risk is too high and it's not worth it. Besides, I roughly know the location of the item. The trouble is infiltrating it."

Since she didn't know the city's internal structure, if she rashly used the space to jump across, she might encounter zombies rushing at her. To be on the safe side, she still had to sneak in step by step.

Noxin didn't hesitate; she knew that her participation in the infiltration operation would only hinder it.

Without much delay, Yunyou grabbed Nuoxin's arm, blue light flashing in the corner of her eyes, and the two turned into specks of light on the spot.

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of the ruined city, in a hidden spot, a point of light appeared, revealing two figures.

"This is the territory of Dawn Base. There was just a zombie horde here, so be careful," Yun You warned. "By the way, I also have a map of the Great Wilderness."

Yunyou handed the map she obtained inside the Dawn Base to Nuoxin.

"Keep heading east and you'll reach Dawn Base. Or, find a secluded spot in that valley over there to hide for a while, and I'll take a stroll around there after I come out."

"Alright, I have to go back now. Take care of yourself."

Yunyou gave some instructions and then hurriedly prepared to leave.

“Wait, Mr. Yun,” Nuoxin suddenly called out, “I have a hand-drawn map here, which I drew while I was trapped here.”

Nuoxin handed a piece of paper folded several times to Yunyou.

When Yunyou unfolded the map, she found it to be exquisitely drawn with detailed punctuation.

Noxin: "I was thinking that I might be able to use it when I escaped, but now I hope you can use it."

Yunyou put the map away and gave Nuoxin a hug.

"Thank you, that's a big help."

With this device, she could jump directly to the inner, hidden areas without having to infiltrate layer by layer, saving a lot of time and significantly increasing the safety of her journey.

"Take care of yourself!"

Yunyou released Nuoxin, a blue light flashed, and she quickly disappeared from the spot.
