Chapter 105: Global Nuclear Explosion 17
Chu Yian tilted her head to look at him, their gas masks blocking their expressions and hindering effective communication.
Just as Yian was about to sit back down, the NPC who had gotten out of the car quickly returned.
“Brother Bai, someone is blocking the road ahead.”
“Those people are wearing prison uniforms, and the leader also has a gun; they look troublesome.”
These two brief sentences interrupted their conversation.
They had passed a prison on their way out of the city.
Apparently, the prison had already fallen, and the inmates had escaped. A small group of them noticed their vehicle and tried to intercept them.
Bai Sinian finally removed the gas mask he had been wearing, revealing his cold, bloodthirsty face. “Have the road barriers been cleared?”
“No.”
The NPC replied, “They are guarding the road barrier, just waiting for us to get close.”
“Is that so…”
Bai Sinian twisted his neck and tilted his head slightly to the side. “Then clear out those people along with the road barrier.”
As he spoke, Bai Sinian ordered the driver to accelerate.
Foot down.
Charge forward.
The driver swerved the car, bringing the entire vehicle to a stop behind an abandoned bus on the side of the road. All six people in the car got out, and bullets rained down on the prisoners ahead.
Bang bang bang bang —!
A hail of gunfire.
Although there were many people on the other side, only their leader had a handgun.
With all six people on Bai Sinian’s side firing at full power, the other side was completely suppressed. After a moment, the sounds from the other side ceased.
Are they all dead?
Thinking this, Chu Yian cautiously poked her head out to look ahead, but the next moment, a huge pull from behind slammed her to the ground.
At the same time, several gunshots rang out.
Bang bang bang bang —
Bullets struck the metal of the bus, sparking. And that position was right near where she had poked her head out.
Chu Yian broke out in a cold sweat.
With too little combat experience, she had almost been shot in the head.
“Thank you.”
She looked at Bai Sinian, who had pulled her back, and sincerely thanked him. However, he didn’t have time to pay attention to her; Bai Sinian was already in the heat of battle. His bullets were almost depleted, and without turning his head, he reached out to Chu Yian, “Bullets.”
Hearing this, Chu Yian opened her treasure box and handed him the bullets inside.
The remaining five people fired wildly at the front, and Chu Yian successfully found a suitable position for herself.
After a barrage of gunfire, the group ahead was finally dispersed and eliminated. Bai Sinian had two NPCs go and move the road barrier, then everyone got back in the car and drove over the bodies of the dead.
“We have now left Province X.”
As the vehicle drove forward, one of the men, who was particularly familiar with the surrounding roads, said.
Hearing this, Chu Yian took out her map and learned from his description the direction they were currently heading. They were now on their way into the plateau, following the road, with vast open spaces all around.
“Brother Bai, stop. I’ll try the radio.”
Ever since Bai Sinian saved Chu Yian’s life, her voice when calling him “Brother” had a touch more sincerity, fueled by gratitude.
Although she had gotten used to being reckless with Bai Sinian these past few days, she hadn’t forgotten to use her brain. Looking at the terrain, Chu Yian suddenly thought that it would be easier to receive radio signals here.
The car stopped on the main road.
Chu Yian put on her gas mask, opened the car’s sunroof, and placed the radio on the car roof.
She patiently adjusted it little by little again, the buzzing of static constantly sounding. It had been about half an hour, and although Bai Sinian was still waiting below, she was almost losing her patience.
Just as Chu Yian was about to try for five more minutes and then give up if it didn’t work, she suddenly heard a faint, intermittent voice.
“Hello, everyone… District 11 radio…”
Got it!
Bai Sinian, inside the car, also heard the sound. He looked up at the person who was standing on tiptoes.
Such straight legs, such a slender waist.
He pressed his tongue against his teeth, uncharacteristically silent.
Chu Yian was fully focused on repeatedly adjusting the channel. Finally, the voice became clear and complete. “Brother Bai, I got it!”
She excitedly brought the radio down, her voice echoing in the car.
“Hello, all survivors, this is the District 11 Survival Base radio station, located in the Lingyun Mountain Range of the XX Plateau in Province S. We permanently accommodate survivors…”
It really is a survival base!
Chu Yian opened her map and found Province S.
Provinces X and S were adjacent, and they were walking on the mountain range leading to the S Province plateau!
“Ah ah ah ah!”
Chu Yian couldn’t help but let out a roar, “Brother Bai, look at our location!”
The NPC brother next to them, who was very familiar with the area, also leaned over. “I’ve driven a truck for five years. Based on my many years of experience driving through the S Province plateau, we can probably reach it within a day.”
It was now the eighth day of the game.
What did that mean?
It meant that on the ninth day of the game, they would be able to clear this round.
“Bringing Little Chu along was indeed the right choice.”
Bai Sinian’s lips curved slightly, revealing a somewhat normal smile.
Time was points, and Bai Sinian understood this principle even better than Chu Yian. The vehicle immediately sped up, with five NPCs taking turns driving day and night without rest towards the survival base.
The seven-person team had an unimpeded journey and found the survival base on the morning of the ninth day of the game.
It was too smooth.
Chu Yian felt that she had never cleared her previous rounds of the game so easily. This time, following Bai Sinian, it was smooth and effortless, almost unbelievable.
They got out of the car and walked to the front of the survival base, which had already been constructed.
Only some crude houses were built above the survival base; the real shelter was underground. There were conditions for entry: “Each person must have at least 100 compressed biscuits within the acceptable range of nuclear radiation or food of equivalent value to enter.”
Chu Yian was familiar with this requirement!
Unlike a food crisis, in a situation where vehicles are destroyed, a drivable car is also an important resource.
The guard at the gate carefully inspected them. “Your vehicle and the gasoline in it can allow four people to enter. You can try to gather a bit more.”
“I have some.”
Chu Yian used the vehicle as cover to take out her treasure box and retrieved supplies from it.
Food was valuable, but pills were even more so.
She was very confident that she could bring all her companions in.
At this moment, Bai Sinian also came over. He leaned against the car, smiling as he watched Chu Yian slowly pull supplies out of her treasure box. “You’re just like a little hoarding hamster.”
Chu Yian wasn’t paying attention; she was carefully counting the supplies.
“What a smart and cute little treasure. Although I hold grudges, I’m almost reluctant to kill you…”
Bai Sinian murmured softly, his handgun already aimed at the back of her head.
Bang —!
Chu Yian only heard a gunshot from behind her, and then her head was pierced by a bullet.
