Chapter 205 - 205 204 Some Warmth Meeting Too Late (14)

Chapter 205: Chapter 204: Some Warmth, Meeting Too Late (14) Chapter 205: Chapter 204: Some Warmth, Meeting Too Late (14) Yao Ke confirmed again, “Blood Wolf?”

“Little Huihui is right, they’re not the enemy, just ordinary people, not part of the mission, over.”

This time, participating in the operation, Tang Zelin couldn’t take on the role of commander due to health reasons, so they had to follow Grey Wolf’s decisions.

Grey Wolf, holding a pair of binoculars, observed for a long while, hesitated for three seconds, then gave the order, “All units pay attention, move in the two o’clock direction, watch your surroundings, move out!”

War Wolf squad acted decisively, quickly moving towards the two o’clock direction.

Upon nearing the observation area, the sight that met their eyes was terrifying; everyone, to varying degrees, felt a nauseating tumult within, much like Gray Wolf’s condition.

Far from their homeland by thousands of miles, War Wolf witnessed firsthand how cruel the most deplorable situations could become among starving people in extreme environments.

A group of people were tearing at the flesh of corpses, indistinguishable flesh and blood everywhere, entrails and remnants scattered about, humans akin to wild beasts, regarding their own kind as a feast, gleefully indulging; social order and morality had completely collapsed here, turning the world into hell.

…

“Tang Zelin!”

In the dead of night, Su Shu suddenly awoke from a nightmare, soaked in cold sweat.

The light sleeper opposite, upon hearing the noise, reached in the darkness for the eyeglasses beside her pillow and put them on.

“Su girl, what’s wrong?”

Su Shu lifted her head and, seeing she had awoken Fu Shiyin across from her, apologized, “Teacher Fu, I’m sorry for waking you.”

Fu Shiyin sat up halfway, peering through the dim light in the darkness with concern, “It’s okay. What about you, did you have a nightmare?”

“Yeah.”

“What did you dream about?”

“I dreamt something bad happened to Group Captain Tang.” Su Shu’s voice trembled.

Hearing this, Fu Shiyin consoled her, “You’re just having those dreams because you’re worried during the day. Group Captain Tang hasn’t returned yet, are you concerned?”

Su Shu didn’t deny it, “Yeah, I’m a bit worried.”

“Don’t worry. I think Group Captain Tang is a man of good fortune. Good people have their own luck, nothing will happen.”

“Yeah.” Awake for a while, the bloody scenes from her dream slowly faded from her mind, but her heart still palpitated.

Fu Shiyin said, “Go back to sleep, we’re starting to move tomorrow. You need to be well-rested to face the day.”

In the darkness, Su Shu wiped the cold sweat from her face. The chilly air made her mind much clearer. After being reminded by Teacher Fu, she suddenly thought of a question.

“Teacher Fu, when we move to the new safe zone tomorrow, where would you and your husband like to live, up or down the mountain?”

Fu Shiyin adjusted her glasses slightly, “We’re not as young as you and can’t decide where’s best. My husband said we’ll have a look tomorrow. We certainly can’t compete for the good spots, so we shouldn’t even try to avoid causing trouble. As long as there’s a place for us to live, that’s fine. Oh, and a child of my husband’s friend mentioned in private that, in the new living areas the government is resettling, the middle of the mountain is better than the base, and the top is too remote. Tomorrow, you and the Luo Family, being young and fast, should try to get there early to claim a spot, or others will take them.”

Su Shu knew all this; in fact, compared to other areas, the environment in East City’s Xinshan First District was a bit better. She was just surprised that Teacher Fu would share such sought-after information with her without any reservations.

Feeling a warmth in her heart, she looked up and asked, “Teacher Fu, can the government worker friend of your family take good care of you?”

At this point, the entire city’s survival system had almost completely collapsed, plunging people’s lives from a state of modern civilization back into a primitive one, leaving many at a loss.

After being cleared, the disaster areas were no longer in immediate danger, but the underlying risks remained unknown. After reorganization, the shelters were no longer fit as a long-term refuge for the citizens of City C following the disaster.

However, some people had had enough of this communal lifestyle. Once the evacuation points were disbanded, some requested to return home. The government’s attempts to stop them were futile, and they could only let them go.

Those who were willing to follow and agree to the arrangements decided to join the main force and relocate to Xin’an First District.
