1186: Robbery's Action
Looking at his energy points again, and confirming they were at the historic high of 219 points, Hong Lei looked back at the cool Beetle car from earlier.
Now, the car had disappeared, leaving only an empty parking space.
Inside the hotel, the screams were still coming in waves, and the roaring Zombies were the very people who had been screaming just moments before.
In the distance, the clear, bright sound of police sirens could already be heard.
The Army coming to deal with the trouble was very fast.
It seemed that in Nianyu County, the Army was already in a state of readiness for battle at any time.
Without further delay, Hong Lei quickly returned to the RV.
His objective for this trip was completed, without any risk, and the process was surprisingly smooth!
Of course, this was also directly related to the System's lenient conditions when recycling the car.
If the System had said that he needed to provide the car keys to recycle it, then things would have become extremely troublesome.
Fortunately, that situation did not happen.
Driving the RV, A Man arrived at another relatively quiet street a few minutes later.
His energy points instantly reached over two hundred, and Hong Lei still felt a sense of unreality, his gaze subconsciously falling on the communication phone in the car.
To ensure future energy point income, it seemed he would need to maintain long-term online contact with Wang Yang.
...
...
Hude Hotel.
In Wang Yang's room, Wang Yang himself and a pair of twin sisters were currently trapped.
"Sister, are you okay? How did you just..." After the woman woke up, Younger Sister Yu Die's excitement was palpable, but it also carried some hidden, worried fear.
Also because she remembered that Wang Yang, an outsider, was still in the room, Younger Sister Yu Die did not directly talk about the matter of her Sister turning into a monster.
"I..." Sister Wind Butterfly subconsciously scratched her head, her soft, fragrant hair becoming a little loose from the scratching, and a few strands stuck to her cheek, making the puzzled confusion on the woman's face particularly prominent: "Did I do something earlier?"
"Sister, you weren't just..." Yu Die's pair of fair, jade-like hands clutched the bedsheet, stopping halfway through her sentence.
"Could it be that Sister you don't remember what happened before?" Younger Sister changed her way of asking.
"I... wasn't I picking you up to go home? You said your company was about to go bankrupt due to the volatile situation, and many people in your company were laid off, including you."
"Later, when you arrived at the station, I picked you up, and we were planning to go home. What's going on now?"
"Where is this? And why is it so Dark outside? I seem to have forgotten something? It seems very important, what is it?!"
Sister Wind Butterfly's voice carried some panic and confusion, but more so, the blankness that came from emptiness.
"It's okay, Sister, it's okay, nothing happened after you picked me up from the station, everything is fine!" Younger Sister Yu Die's voice trembled with emotions she couldn't express, comforting Sister Wind Butterfly.
Her Sister had really lost her memory!
And she had also lost the memory of seeing their parents die at the hands of A Maniac during the time she was picking up her Younger Sister to go home!
This absolutely painful memory disappearing from Sister Wind Butterfly's mind, in Yu Die's opinion, was a good thing.
After all, as the Younger Sister, she could clearly feel how her Sister had been in a state of madness after seeing that scene!
If the memory were to reappear, perhaps the terrifying monster she had seen in the room opposite, the one who had crushed A Maniac's head with bare hands, would once again replace her Sister!
"What time is it now? Today is Dad's 45th birthday, and I didn't tell the two at home that you were coming back. It's a perfect surprise."
"But looking at the sky, we should probably go to the cake shop quickly to pick up Dad's cake now."
"And the gift, I also prepared one for our Mom. This is unavoidable. If Ms. Gui Fang just watched us give Dad a gift, she wouldn't let us eat normal-tasting food tomorrow."
"I saw the pork belly in the fridge. We can't let her add a bag of salt tomorrow and force us to eat it."
Sister Wind Butterfly spoke based on her previous memories.
Hearing this, Younger Sister's eyes turned red: "Indeed, Mom's preserved pork belly with pickled vegetables is delicious."
"I really want to eat it again..."
"Want to eat it? If you want to eat it, let's go home now and ask her to make it. Just open the door, lie on the sofa, and shout 'Mom'!" A clean, beautiful smile appeared on Wind Butterfly's face.
However, this rising smile, in the next moment... suddenly disappeared!
"Boom!"
A terrifying explosion sounded as if it had gone off right beside their ears, a huge and surging shockwave, carrying a massive sound that caused ringing in their ears!
"Roar roar roar!"
The Zombies located throughout the hotel were all attracted by this sound.
One by one, they rushed towards the source of the explosion!
Amidst such commotion, a broadcast followed closely from outside.
"Survivors inside, please don't worry, we are the Army stationed in Nianyu County, and we are here to rescue you!"
"Please ensure you are in an isolated space and wait for us to come and get you out!"
"Yu Die, what's going on?!" Sister Wind Butterfly's pale face showed her unease.
"We've encountered Zombies." Wang Yang turned around from the window at this point, and as he spoke, he finally made Sister Wind Butterfly notice his presence.
"I believe you've also seen the so-called Zombies in various movies and TV shows, but don't worry, Zombies of this level outside, without the added factors of weather or others, cannot defeat these Soldiers outside."
"By tomorrow morning at the latest, we will be safely out of danger."
"At that time, I'll drive you home."
"Who are you?" Compared to what Wang Yang said, Sister Wind Butterfly was clearly more concerned about this Man sharing the room with them, the two sisters.
"Me? It's been a long time since I introduced myself. Let's get acquainted, my name is Wang Yang..."
...
...
While Wang Yang was getting acquainted with the twin sisters, outside the Hude Hotel, the Army was already engaged in battle with the Zombies rushing out of the hotel.
The dense firepower network decisively and cleanly tore apart the charging Zombies one by one!
Currently, the Army's equipment hadn't been upgraded on a large scale, but the available ammunition resources were extremely abundant!
The vast majority of factories throughout the Dragon Country had transitioned towards military production, and the output of hot weapon ammunition was unprecedentedly huge!
While the two sides were fighting, the news about the appearance of Zombies in Nianyu County at this moment was reported immediately.
Jiangnan Province.
In a simple room, an Old Man wearing reading glasses, with age spots on his face, draped in a coat at night, his brow furrowed, was shaking his head and sighing as he looked at the news he had just received.
Just moments ago, in a County within the province called Nianyu County, an unknown infection had occurred, leading to the birth of a large number of Zombies!
After quickly reading through this information, the White-Haired Old Man placed it on the other side of the table.
On this side, five or six letters of information were already placed.
Getting up from the wooden chair, the Old Man tightened his coat and turned to look behind him.
Behind him was a map, a detailed map of Jiangnan Province.
On this map, which was as tall as a person, five circles drawn with a red marker pen were already marked.
Shifting his gaze, the White-Haired Old Man found the location of Nianyu County, and then circled the area of Nianyu County on the map.
When the area of Nianyu County was circled with the red pen, there were already six red circles on the entire map.
This also represented that within Jiangnan Province, just tonight, there had been six large-scale outbreaks of Zombies, or even more dangerous human-monster massacres and extreme weather events!
His gaze lingered on this map for a long time, and at a certain moment, the Old Man suddenly stiffened.
These six problematic areas seemed unrelated and had little connection.
But if you added one more stroke, it would be different!
While having a guess, the Old Man picked up the marker pen and drew a hypothetical seventh red circle on the map.
And as this red circle appeared and landed on the map, the Old Man slowly put down the marker pen in his hand.
As for the previous six red circles, it wasn't entirely correct to say they were unrelated. The connection between them was more like a bottle being constructed.
And this newly added red circle was a stopper!
A stopper that sealed the bottle!
These locations where problems like Zombies, strange people, and extreme weather erupted were not random!
It was more like pieces being placed in a game of Go!
Once the enclosing formation was complete, anyone with a brain could understand that it would be the beginning of a nightmare for the entire Jiangnan Province!
Behind these disasters, a large hand was manipulating things in the Dark!
That guy had even begun to lay out a plan for the entire Jiangnan Province!
The Old Man took a deep breath, then his gaze fell on the area of the red circle he had just hypothesized and added.
The place encompassed by this red circle was called Qianyang County...
This matter must be reported to the military region, so they can send a force to garrison Qianyang County, in case his prediction truly happens!
...
Military Region.
"Okay, alright, I understand, I will definitely not let any accidents happen in Qianyang County." On the training ground of the provincial military region, the Commander of the Jiangnan Province Army looked at the Soldiers training harder due to the external environment, and nodded in agreement to the request on the phone.
As the call ended, the White-Haired Old Man in a camouflage military uniform revealed a hidden, twisted, and sinister smile on his face: "Humans, truly a species that is easy to see through. My Lord has long since predicted this scene. When we truly act, none of your strategies can possibly work, hehehehehe."
Speaking in a low voice, the Military Region Commander no longer had his previous tough demeanor.
The previous Commander had long since been dealt with by the unknown mastermind behind the scenes, and a suitable substitute had been arranged!
Jie, who seemingly only relied on the Dark forces to oppress the worlds will on a large scale, had actually already begun to lay out his plan in secret, and at this moment, on the protagonist's storyline, he officially clashed with the worlds will!
The worlds will had reset the game by reversing time. At this moment, a new chessboard was finally unveiled between the two.
"Don't worry, not only will I not provide assistance, but I will even accelerate the demise of Qianyang County. Everyone there must either die or flee!"
"If not, how can we partition off a dead zone with pure Dark power? How can we establish a singularity to truly welcome My Lord's descent?"
"Qianyang County is destined to perish, and My Lord - the Demon Attendant - will also descend. This is unstoppable! Nothing can stop it!"
...
"Should I exchange for a small cart?"
Qianyang County.
Hong Lei was now on his way home.
Looking at his current plant catalog, his gaze lingered on the [Ye Tian Brand Small Cart] for a while.
Over two hundred energy points were enough to exchange for a plant Army that was beginning to take shape.
But if he used a portion to exchange for a small cart, the usable energy points would be significantly less.
A small cart cost twenty energy value, which was enough to exchange for two Big Mouth Flowers, or four Pea Shooters of this scale of plants.
After thinking for a moment, Hong Lei finally decided to still buy a small cart to test the waters first.
Compared to a deposit of over two hundred energy points, twenty energy points were not something he couldn't afford to spend.
