Chapter 284: Chapter 282: Enclosure Breaks

He Fei sat down in front of them, and first glanced at Su Mo then solemnly said to them, "We tried to conquer the living area before, but it was a dormitory building, and the situation was extremely severe at the time."

"Do you have a map?" asked Su Mo.

"Yes, let’s go to the office," Ding Yan stood up, wrapped in a blanket, leading the way.

They returned to that basketball manager’s office; Ding Yan lit several candles for illumination and pulled out a campus map from the drawer, spreading it on the table before everyone took their seats.

He Fei pointed to the living area outside the enclosure, looking somewhat distressed, "Tomorrow morning, we need to cross the outdoor sports field and get past this side of the enclosure to enter the opposite school area. There’s a considerable distance."

Lu Chen estimated the distance and said indifferently, "Your physical strength will be significantly depleted before you even arrive."

He Fei nodded, "That’s right, but we observed the outside for a whole day and didn’t spot a single zombie. Our chances are still great. We can use the method of moving on wooden boards during the day, but it will be time-consuming, and our body temperature will drop rapidly."

"Protect your legs. The subcutaneous fat combined with your clothing should be enough to protect your internal organs from frostbite," Li Qian adjusted his glasses, the candlelight refracting from his lenses while his eyes were deeply shaded.

Today, that female student who suffered from frostbite on her legs was a good example.

Ding Yan also agreed strongly, scanning the faces of everyone before asking, "Tomorrow, how many of you will go? We can provide a few more pieces of clothing."

Su Mo pointed to Jiang Yulian who was still sitting outside the office, breastfeeding, and said, "All of us will go. The two children and adults will be temporarily left in your care."

Ding Yan looked at her in surprise, "Are all of you superpower users?"

Thunder crackled in Zhao Changsheng’s hands, creating a bright spectacle in the dim room, "Who are you looking down on?"

He Fei stepped in front of Ding Yan, his eyes bright with excitement, "With your participation, we will definitely achieve twice the results with half the effort."

Lu Chen tapped his fingers lightly on the tabletop, "Then as soon as it gets light tomorrow, we’ll set out."

The route was confirmed.

Everyone stood up and walked out.

Jiang Yulian sitting on the blanket looked somewhat troubled, and the child in her arms was also not in a good state.

Seeing this, Su Mo asked, "What’s wrong, Aunt Jiang?"

"There’s no more milk," Jiang Yulian murmured, lips pursed, speaking in a very soft voice.

It was quite normal given her age.

Li Qian then spoke up from the side, "They have formula. I’ll ask for some."

Since he and Ding Yan were acquainted, it was natural for him to speak up.

Knowing the child needed milk, Ding Yan indeed came back with a well-portioned formula.

Another problem arose; they had no baby bottle.

Su Mo was at a loss as to what to do, but Lu Chen, standing by, produced an unopened pink baby bottle.

She couldn’t help but look up at him, "Did you collect this from outside yesterday?"

Lu Chen bowed his head, voice calm, "In case of emergency."

Su Mo silently gave him a thumbs-up, "Far-sighted."

"You think so?" Lu Chen passed her the baby bottle, then glanced at her sideways.

"Yeah, you even thought of a baby bottle, you’re more thorough than I am," Su Mo flattered cheerfully, unaware that their conversation was not quite on the same wavelength.

Lu Chen’s eyes twinkled, and he softly ruffled her hair.

After settling the issues with the child, instead of choosing to sleep on the cold, damp floor, they opted for a spot on the second floor spacious enough for Lu Chen to set up three tents for them personally.

This action made the other superpower-user students on the same floor envious; they had been living there but had never thought of tents.

Since Lu Chen could set up a tent alone, Su Mo decided to help Zhao Changsheng with his.

Learning from past experience, Zhao Changsheng quickly pulled Jiang Yulian into the tent after setting it up and also pushed Ling Ye toward Li Qian.

Lying in the tent covered with quilts, Su Mo felt extremely comfortable.

Both above and below her was the fluffy fur of a gorilla, emitting a touch of warmth.

Unlike last night when she snuggled into man’s embrace, Lu Chen took the initiative to pull her close.

After kissing her for a while, he whispered softly, "Sleep now."

Su Mo wrapped her arms around his waist and tucked her cold feet between his calves, contentedly falling asleep.

...

Base B.

A thin figure stood upright in front of a dark and dilapidated apartment. It sniffed the air with its nose, irritation human-like in its pale eyes, "Not, here, where, did, it go?"

With those words, several snow-covered, stiff-moving zombie dogs entered the apartment, sniffed a sofa, and then sat down beside their master, their skinned tails wagging broadly.

"Found them? Just wait, it’s about to stop soon."

...

The silver ground snow was gradually illuminated by the whitening sky.

As the first ray of light hit the windows inside the venue, Su Mo and her group were fully equipped and ready to depart.

This time, aside from Su Mo and her team, there were also ten students led by He Fei, however, they were not the group from the supermarket. Among them was a familiar face to Su Mo, easily recognizable by his tall stature, Niu Mang.

Everyone had thick clothes tied to their legs, even wrapping fabric around their shoes.

After descending the stairs, two individuals carried shovels in their hands.

As it turned out, the snow at the main entrance of the first-floor venue had reached up to Su Mo’s waist, blocking half of the door.

"Are you ready?" He Fei turned his head and asked them.

Lu Chen nodded. Their faces and heads were covered with clothes, only their eyes showing.

The main door of the venue was pulled open.

The two holding the shovels immediately began to clear the snow.

As the cold wind poured in, gasps could be heard inside.

Su Mo looked at the thermometer on the pillar, where the temperature plummeted due to the cold air, already approaching -10°C.

Only with difficulty did they clear a space that could be walked through.

The group struggled to exit the door.

Niu Mang threw some planks onto the snow pile. He jumped up first to compact the snow before letting the others follow, leading the way as the main door was closed again.

Outside, the wind was as piercing as needles to the face, the heavy snow nearly obscuring the path ahead.

Fortunately, everyone was fully protected, pressing on through the heavy snow towards the opposite side of the playground.

When they finally reached the perimeter fence, an unexpected incident occurred.

There was a large hole in the metal barrier.

"Something got in?" He Fei crouched at the entrance, his hand touching the sharp, damaged metal edge, his expression one of alarm and suspicion.

Su Mo looked at Li Qian, who shook his head at him.

It meant that there were no mutant creatures nearby.

The heavy snow also concealed any traces that might have been discovered.

At the right moment, Su Mo said, "Let’s go over, you won’t find any clues here."
