End of the World Crisis, My Husband is from Ancient Times

Revisiting the base camp, the ancient road has new dangers

Fan Mengmeng held her breath and slowly turned around, only to see a young soldier in camouflage uniform staring at her vigilantly.

The soldier held the gun in his hand, his finger tightly on the trigger, ready to shoot at any time.

Fan Mengmeng raised her hands, indicating she meant no harm. "Don't be nervous, I'm just passing through." The soldier clearly didn't believe her. "Passing through? This is a restricted military area. How could anyone pass by?"

The soldier's name is Li Qiang, and he is a new patrol member joining the base.

Veteran team members often talk about the various dangers lurking outside the base, the most terrifying of which are the "rats" who appear out of nowhere and intend to steal the base's supplies.

Li Qiang looked down on these "rats" from the bottom of his heart, believing that they were greedy and selfish and would only bring trouble to the base.

Li Qiang looked Fan Mengmeng up and down. With her thin figure and ordinary clothes, she didn't look like a battle-hardened survivor at all.

There was a hint of contempt in his tone: "Tell me the truth, what are you doing here? Are you trying to steal something?" Fan Mengmeng was a little unhappy, but she still patiently explained: "I have no ill intentions, I just want to go in and take shelter."

Li Qiang sneered: "Seek refuge? I think you want to take advantage of the situation!" He raised his gun and pointed it at Fan Mengmeng: "Don't move! Otherwise I will shoot!" Fan Mengmeng thought to himself that this was not good. It seemed that this soldier was very difficult to deal with.

She was thinking about how to get out when she suddenly heard a loud roar coming from the distance.

Zombies!

Li Qiang's face turned pale instantly. He didn't expect the zombies to come so quickly.

He glanced at Fan Mengmeng, then at the zombies that were getting closer and closer, and gritted his teeth: "Follow me!"

In ancient times, Teng Junze and Xiao Shunzi were struggling to move forward on the mountain road.

After the landslide, the road became even more rugged and difficult to travel.

Teng Junze was worried, he always felt that things were not that simple.

"Young master, there seems to be someone in front." Xiao Shunzi said, pointing to the front.

Teng Junze looked in the direction of Xiao Shunzi and saw several figures standing not far away, as if waiting for them.

Teng Junze's heart sank, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.

"Master, it looks like... bandits!" Xiao Shunzi shouted in horror.

Teng Junze narrowed his eyes and looked at those people carefully.

Sure enough, they were all wearing coarse linen clothes and holding swords in their hands. It was obvious that they were not good people.

The leader was a burly man with a fleshy face and fierce eyes.

He looked at Teng Junze, a sneer on his face: "Master Teng, we meet again."

It was the horse bandit leader who had clashed with Teng Junze before.

Teng Junze gripped the sword tightly in his hand. He knew that a fierce battle was inevitable...

He turned his head to glance at Xiao Shunzi and whispered, "I'll hold them back for a while, you find a chance..."

Before he could finish his words, the bandit leader shouted, "Come on!"

The bandits rushed forward, brandishing their swords and knives, and pounced on Teng Junze and Xiao Shunzi...

The roar of the zombies was getting closer and closer. Li Qiang's face turned pale and cold sweat oozed from his forehead.

He gripped the gun tightly, his arms shaking slightly.

Fan Mengmeng seemed unusually calm.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, as if feeling something.

When she opened her eyes again, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.

"Follow me!" Fan Mengmeng said in a firm tone and ran towards an alley that seemed to be a dead end.

Li Qiang was stunned for a moment, but as the zombies approached, he had no time to hesitate and could only follow them.

The alleys are narrow and cluttered with debris, making it difficult for zombies to move around.

Fan Mengmeng seemed to know the zombies' movement patterns very well. She took Li Qiang and turned left and right in the alley, cleverly avoiding most of the zombies and approaching the entrance of the base.

Li Qiang was extremely surprised that this seemingly weak girl actually possessed such sharp insight and courage.

He began to re-examine Fan Mengmeng, and his original contempt gradually disappeared.

At the same time, on the ancient mountain road, Teng Junze's battle with the bandits entered a white-hot stage.

Xiao Shunzi originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos to explore the way, but was ambushed by bandits lurking behind a tree, and a dagger cut his arm.

Xiao Shunzi cried out in pain and fell to the ground.

"Xiao Shunzi!" Teng Junze's eyes were bloodshot. He swung his sword hard to drive back the bandits in front of him, and rushed to Xiao Shunzi in one step, protecting him behind him.

"Master, let's go! I... I will hold them back!" Xiao Shunzi said with a pale face and gritted teeth.

"Shut up! How could I, Teng Junze, abandon my companions and run away alone!" Teng Junze roared, and danced the long sword in his hand vigorously, forcing back the bandits who were besieging him.

The leader of the horse thieves stood aside, watching Teng Junze's struggle coldly, with a cruel smile on his face.

"Master Teng, do you think you can escape? Today is the day you die!"

He waved his hand, and more bandits rushed out of the woods and surrounded Teng Junze.

Teng Junze leaned against the mountain wall, protecting Xiao Shunzi behind him, and glanced at the bandits around him with cold eyes.

He knew very well that he was in a dangerous situation, but he was not afraid at all. Instead, it aroused his inherent pride and fighting spirit.

Back in the present day, Fan Mengmeng and Li Qiang have successfully arrived at the entrance of the base.

A new combination lock has been installed at the entrance of the base. It was added by Captain Liu to prevent outsiders from entering.

Li Qiang was about to try to crack the password but was stopped by Fan Mengmeng.

"I'll do it." Fan Mengmeng walked to the combination lock, tapped her fingers quickly on the keyboard, and a complex password was entered.

"drop!"

With a crisp sound, the combination lock opened.

Li Qiang and Captain Liu and Researcher Wang who arrived later were all stunned. They didn't expect that Fan Mengmeng could actually crack the combination lock.

Fan Mengmeng ignored their surprise and walked straight into the base. Li Qiang hurried to follow, followed by Captain Liu and Researcher Wang.

"This...what is going on?" Researcher Wang asked in a low voice.

Captain Liu looked at Fan Mengmeng's back with a complicated look in his eyes, and said slowly: "It seems that we all underestimated her..."

Fan Mengmeng turned around, her eyes fell on Captain Liu, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, "Now, we can talk about cooperation."

Fan Mengmeng's action of cracking the combination lock was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Captain Liu and Researcher Wang.

The combination lock at the entrance of the base was the latest one developed by Researcher Wang. It was extremely complex and even he needed several minutes to unlock it, but Fan Mengmeng did it in just a few seconds.

Captain Liu took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in his heart, and re-examined the seemingly weak girl in front of him.

He realized that Fan Mengmeng's value far exceeded his imagination.

"How do you want to cooperate?" Captain Liu asked straight to the point.

Fan Mengmeng smiled faintly and said confidently, "I need supplies from the base, especially food and medicine. In exchange, I can help you upgrade the base's defense system to ensure that zombies cannot invade."

Researcher Wang pushed up his glasses, his tone tinged with doubt, "Do you really have this ability?"

Fan Mengmeng did not answer directly, but walked to the control console of the base and began tapping on the keyboard rapidly.

Lines of code flowed through her fingertips, and complex graphics and data appeared on the screen.

Captain Liu and Researcher Wang were stunned. They had no idea what Fan Mengmeng was doing, but her smooth and flowing operation made them feel inexplicably convinced.

At the same time, on the ancient mountain road, Teng Junze's battle with the bandits continued.

He found that although these bandits were numerous, they were reluctant to kill and seemed to be waiting for something.

Teng Junze's heart moved and he realized that there might be something fishy going on.

He decided to take the initiative and disrupt the bandits' plans.

"Xiao Shunzi, cover me!" Teng Junze shouted softly, and the long sword in his hand stabbed out like lightning, heading straight for the horse thief leader.

The bandit leader obviously didn't expect Teng Junze to suddenly attack, and he couldn't dodge in time, leaving a bloody mark on his arm.

He roared and ordered his men to intensify the attack.

However, Teng Junze had seen through their intentions. He no longer wanted to fight, but instead made a feint and turned to run deep into the mountain road.

"Chase! Don't let him run away!" The horse thief leader covered his wound and shouted with gritted teeth.

The bandits chased after him, and Teng Junze's figure quickly disappeared into the dense woods.

The leader of the horse thieves stood there with a gloomy face. He had a premonition that this operation might not go so smoothly.

Back in the modern era, Fan Mengmeng has completed the upgrade of the base's defense system.

She pointed at the flashing green light on the screen and said to Captain Liu, "The new defense system has been activated. It can automatically identify zombies and attack them, while also providing early warning of their movements."

Captain Liu was shocked when he saw the brand new control console. He had never expected that Fan Mengmeng could actually do it.

"Ms. Fan, you are amazing!" Researcher Wang said excitedly.

Fan Mengmeng smiled faintly, but her heart was full of worry.

She didn't know how Teng Junze was doing now, so she had to obtain resources as soon as possible and then find a way to go back to ancient times to help him.

"Now, can we talk about supplies?" Fan Mengmeng said.

Captain Liu nodded. "Of course, just let me know if you need anything."

Fan Mengmeng made a list of food, medicine, and some daily necessities. Captain Liu took a look and agreed without hesitation.

At this moment, the base's alarm suddenly sounded. The screen showed that a large wave of zombies was approaching the base.

"What's going on?" Captain Liu's face changed.

Fan Mengmeng walked over to the control panel and carefully checked the data, her expression becoming serious. "These zombies...are different from the previous ones..."

The gate of the base slowly opened, revealing a dark mass outside...

The gate of the base slowly opened, revealing not the expected dense swarm of zombies, but a strange thick fog, like a thick wall, slowly wriggling and emitting a creepy low roar.

Captain Liu's face suddenly changed: "What is this?" Fan Mengmeng's heart sank suddenly, and a chill ran from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.

This feeling was surprisingly similar to the dangerous aura she felt in ancient time and space.

Could it be that... the crises of the two time and space are intertwined in some way that she cannot understand?

She suppressed her anxiety and tried to remain calm. "Close the door first!" she shouted decisively.

The heavy metal door slowly closed, isolating the strange fog from outside.

Fan Mengmeng walked to the control console and slid her fingers quickly across the screen, retrieving the base's monitoring data.

On the screen, the area covered by thick fog was blurry and nothing could be seen clearly.

She bit her lower lip, a feeling of powerlessness coming over her.

Teng Junze, where are you now?

Are they facing the same danger?

Thinking of Teng Junze, Fan Mengmeng's heart felt like it was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and breathing became difficult.

She must get the supplies as soon as possible and return to ancient times.

She seemed to see Teng Junze trapped in a crisis, reaching out to her for help, his deep eyes full of worry and expectation.

This torment, like a blunt knife, slowly cut into her heart.

"Ms. Fan, this fog... seems strange." Researcher Wang's voice trembled and his face was as pale as paper.

He pointed to a corner of the screen where the fog seemed to be seeping in, slowly but surely.

Captain Liu made a prompt decision: "Researcher Wang, analyze the composition of this fog immediately! Miss Fan, we need your help with the base's defense system..."

Fan Mengmeng took a deep breath and temporarily suppressed her worries about Teng Junze. Now was not the time to be sentimental.

"Take me inside the base." She said in a firm tone, with a determined glint in her eyes.

At the same time, on the ancient mountain road, Teng Junze and Xiao Shunzi hid behind a huge rock, observing the movements of the bandits.

The bandits did not continue to chase, but dispersed, as if searching for something.

Teng Junze frowned, feeling vaguely uneasy.

The purpose of these bandits is probably not just to rob money.

"Master, they seem to be looking for something." Xiao Shunzi said in a low voice.

Teng Junze nodded, "Yes, and they seem to be very familiar with this mountain road." He thought of Widow Sun he had met before, that mysterious woman, who might know something.

Suddenly, one of the bandits pointed at the huge rock where they were hiding and shouted, "Here! They are here!"

Teng Junze and Xiao Shunzi's faces changed. It seemed that their whereabouts had been exposed.

"Let's go!" Teng Junze shouted, pulling Xiao Shunzi out from behind the boulder...

Back in the present day, Fan Mengmeng followed Captain Liu into the base.

The door closed heavily behind him with a muffled sound, as if completely cutting off Fan Mengmeng's connection with the outside world.

The base was silent, with only the buzzing sound of the overhead lights.

Fan Mengmeng looked around and saw red dots flashing on the walls on both sides of the corridor...
