“The rain has stopped…”

Wang Tao frowned a little as he got up in the morning and saw the clear sky outside.

This was the longest rain he had experienced in his lifetime. It had been raining since he set out to find Shuize Base until it stopped yesterday, lasting a full half month.

Fortunately, the previous rain wasn’t heavy; if it had been as torrential as the last three days, Shuize County might have been completely flooded by now.

Ding Yuqin had already gotten up and prepared breakfast for Wang Tao.

“Sister-in-law, how much food do we have left at home?”

Wang Tao asked as he ate.

“Not counting the nutrients, there’s still…”

Ding Yuqin took out a list and explained it to Wang Tao in an orderly manner.

After listening, Wang Tao tapped the table.

“We don’t have much food left; it’s a good time to go out and scavenge…”

Although he had previously collected a lot of food, he ate a lot, his portion equating to several people’s. Thus, the food was consumed rapidly.

Of course, they could still make do with the food for a while, but since Wang Tao was capable, there was no need to be too frugal. After all, how could he have the strength to kill zombies if he wasn’t well-fed?

After breakfast, with Ding Yuqin’s help, Wang Tao put on his full gear and then went to the garage to drive out his electric off-road vehicle.

As soon as he stepped outside, he could clearly feel that things were different.

The exterior wall’s coating had almost entirely peeled off, covered with climbing ivy, and the base of the wall was riddled with green moss. In the yard, the chives and green plants had grown significantly longer.

Several cars belonging to the guard personnel were parked outside the yard, all with visible rust; some road signs also rusted, with some becoming illegible…

Wang Tao suddenly had the feeling that time had accelerated, as if at least three months or half a year had passed!

“Have you had any issues with your cars?”

Wang Tao rolled down the car window and asked the guards.

The guards’ expressions were not very good.

“Commissioner Wang, the cars have developed many minor problems, and many parts have rusted inside… But mine is still okay, at least it can start. Some other cars can’t be started at all…”

Wang Tao frowned.

To some survivors, there is no shortage of cars. There are plenty of cars on the streets, and if you have the skill to unlock one and aren’t afraid to attract zombies with the noise, then you can have a car of your own in the post-apocalyptic world.

But with the corrosive acid rain, even cars were starting to fail! So many unprotected cars on the streets were likely rendered unusable. In the future, these cars and the like would probably become high-value products…

Leaving the commissioner district, Wang Tao drove leisurely to the main building.

The campus buildings had also seemed to age rapidly with time, with plants growing wildly and creeping up the walls.

“Commissioner Wang, hello!”

Other survivors greeted Wang Tao as soon as he arrived at the main building.

“Hmm.”

Wang Tao nodded slightly and then went upstairs to meet with Wei Zhenguo and the others.

After so many days of recuperation, Wei Zhenguo was finally able to walk without a wheelchair. However, since it takes a hundred days to recover from serious injury, his condition hadn’t healed easily, and he was still in an HP-deficient state.

Wang Tao suddenly thought, could the medical kit that he obtained from killing the doctor zombie be used for Wei Zhenguo’s injuries to regenerate HP? It should be possible, right? He decided to try it when he had the chance.

Wei Zhenguo nodded at Wang Tao.

“Everyone is here, let’s talk. As everyone has seen in the past few days, the corrosive torrential rain has brought significant changes to our area.

Everything outside, including cars and buildings, has been corroded… And this is just the situation inside the base. We don’t know what it’s like outside the base yet. But I always feel that it might be more dangerous outside…”

Wei Zhenguo’s face showed concern.

In the post-apocalypse, any unknown represented danger. Everyone had become somewhat accustomed to life at the end of the world, but after the heavy rain, they felt a sense of unfamiliarity with the apocalypse again…

“Forget about it! We deal with soldiers when they come, cover water with soil when it flows; we’ve survived for over a month, and it shouldn’t be a big problem to survive another month!”

Xiang Hongbin spoke up nonchalantly.

“I’m just worried that if the plants outside have also grown large, zombies might be able to hide more easily…”

Ren Jie frowned.

Although he rarely left the base, he was still worried about the Hunters and people like Xiang Hongbin who often went out.

“If plants continue to grow this crazily, it might not only be a problem of zombies hiding more easily… Haven’t you ever seen those man-eating plants in movies before?”

Liu He murmured.

Everyone fell silent.

Zombies were scary enough; if man-eating plants were to appear, human survival would become even more difficult!

“Hey! Let’s worry about the future later and focus on our current situation!”

Wei Zhenguo waved his hand.

What the future holds is uncertain; they were already fortunate to have survived this far with no time or energy to consider too many what-ifs.

“We haven’t gone out to look for supplies these past few days, and we’re running out of food in the base…”

Most of the base’s supplies were collected from the outside, especially food. Though they could grow their own food, the cycle was too long. The base was prepared for this aspect, but it would take time to see results, so they mainly relied on scavenging outside. With so many people in Shuize County turned into zombies, there was still a lot of leftover food..
