Chapter 221: Bet On This

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at where Qian Yu was pointing. While others were confused, Xiu Wu looked at Qian Yu for a long time. He frowned slightly, looked at him, and asked, "Can you also see things inside other people’s bodies?"

The boy nodded towards him and said, "Um. I finally saw that stone move today. It looked normal and not a stone anymore."

Just when everyone was confused by their conversation, Zhu Lin came back with a plate of food. Sensing that the atmosphere in the room was a little strange, she glanced at them doubtfully, then put the tray on the bedside table and said, "Since you can’t eat heavy food, you can only have porridge today. After you recover, you can eat whatever you like."

Seeing Xiu Wu staring at them, Ji Yang stood up from his chair and said, "We won’t disturb you anymore. You have a good rest and don’t go out these days."

Listening to his nagging, Xiu Wu sighed helplessly and said, "Mhm, I know."

Ji Yang looked at his expression, shook his head, and left with Tan Wei and the children. Before leaving the room, Qian Yu looked at Xiu Wu’s chest and said, "Elder Brother Xiu Wu, congratulations."

After hearing his words, Xiu Wu chuckled and said, "Thank you."

When Zhu Lin gently helped Xiu Wu eat his simple breakfast, the situation outside the Wu Lin base was really bad. Although Teng Bai and Song Chengsu had sent Xiu Wu’s reply back to the military base, there was still no response from the military base.

Considering that the heavy snowfall might have affected their communications, Teng Bai and Song Chengsu decided to wait a few more days before making a decision. Fortunately, after four days of waiting, the answer they were waiting for finally came, although it was not as good as expected.

Sitting on the small bed in the shell house, Teng Bai and Song Chengsu looked at the communication device and heard Mao Yan say, "Xiao Bai, it is not easy for us to leave the base now because it is too cold outside. If we are not fully prepared, we will be dead before we reach the Wu Lin base."

"Uncle, if you don’t leave now, it will be even harder for you to leave in the future. The temperature is dropping by the second, and the third wave of cooling events is coming. By then, you will all be dead without even a chance to leave the base." Teng Bai said with a frown.

Seeing his worried face, Song Chengsu patted Teng Bai on the shoulder to calm him down and said, "Commander Mao, the temperature will continue to drop until the next cold wave arrives. Brother Teng is right. You should leave the base as soon as possible. Otherwise, you will not be able to leave in the future and can only wait to die."

In a small room at the military base, Mao Yan and other senior officers, doctors and scientists sat around a small coal stove. Since the communication device was put on loudspeaker mode, everyone could hear clearly what Teng Bai and Song Chengsu said.

Knowing that the longer he waited, the more difficult and dangerous the situation would be, Mao Yan looked at their chief doctor, Lu Cai, and asked, "Doctor Lu, do you have any suggestions on this matter?"

As a doctor, Lu Cai knew how dangerous frostbite and pneumonia were, and what the human body’s limits were against the low temperatures. He thought for a long time before raising his eyes.

Lu Cai looked at the others and said, "With our remaining supplies and the current weather, it may be very difficult to leave this base without external help. In addition to the lack of supplies and winter clothes, it is also snowing heavily outside and the roads are frozen. We also currently have a shortage of medical staff. In this case, our chance of successfully reaching the Wu Lin base is only ten percent."

After hearing Lu Cai’s calm explanation, everyone present fell silent. On the other side, Teng Bai and Song Chengsu also heard what Lu Cai said.

After a long silence, Teng Bai said, "I will try to seek support from the Wu Lin base. At the same time, I hope all of you can find a solution in case they refuse to help us."

After speaking, he took a deep breath and whispered: "Good luck, everyone."

Teng Bai ended the communication with a heavy heart, while Song Chengsu looked out thoughtfully through the small window. As humans struggle to survive the winter, a group of high-ranked zombies hide in an abandoned supermarket. It can be seen from the injuries on their bodies that these high-ranked zombies have just experienced a fierce battle.

One of the zombies poked its head out of the broken glass window and scanned the area. Seeing a group of men wearing thick cold-proof clothing in the distance, the zombie quickly squatted down and shook his head at the other zombies.

The other zombies roared angrily when they saw the male zombie shake its head. Knowing that it would be difficult for them to escape from those men outside, one of the female zombies suddenly said, "Hoo... hoo..." I think we should go to the Wu Lin base and check if the rumors are true or false.

Hearing her words, another female zombie also said, "Hoo... ho.. Ho, ho." Are you sure? What if these rumors are a trap set by those evil people? I don’t want to escape from the tiger’s mouth only to fall into the wolf’s den.

After the female zombie said this, the leader of the group of zombies looked out from the cracked window and said, "Hoo... ho. Roar." Since those people are unwilling to let us go, then we have only one choice. Let’s go to the Wu Lin base. We have no other way to survive, so let’s bet on this.
