As its name implied, the team was made up of scattered survivors from all over the country. Ling Weigran was one of them.

Because she was a nurse before the apocalypse, she changed shifts with her little sister the night before the mutation because she was a little feverish. Her parents were both retired and couldn't stay at home, so they either went to play mahjong in the district's old age event center or went to the largest open space in the district to dance in the square. That night, they also went out as usual, leaving Ling Weiran to sleep and sweat at home. As a nurse, she knew that it was useless to take medicine for a minor ailment like colds, and since her body temperature had only risen by one and a half degrees, she didn't take any medicine, intending to rely entirely on her immunity to survive.

In her drowsiness, she seemed to hear the constant racket outside, the constant shouts and screams. At first, she thought it was from one of the upstairs and downstairs neighbors who was watching TV with their voices turned too loud, but the more she heard, the more she felt that something wasn't right. She wrapped herself in a blanket and walked to the window and looked outside.

Along the way, she saw zombies that were busy eating meat. Her legs were very fast, and she, who had never run before, arrived at the dance floor in the blink of an eye. When she got there, she was dumbfounded. The music was still going on, but the old ladies were no longer able to keep up with the music. They were all gathered in a circle, tearing at the people on the ground, blood, chunks of flesh, bones, and intestines that had been flung out … Dad... "Mom …" Tears streamed down her face, blurring her vision. The person lying on the ground was wearing a familiar black embroidered cloth shoe. Old Beijing brand was the one she had specifically bought for her mother to dance with.

The closest person was dead, so she could only see two zombies looking up to see her, but they were still wobbling as they walked towards her. Ling Weiran's heart was like dying embers. She even forgot to run. Her legs seemed to have been glued to the ground by the cement as she stood there motionlessly.

Right at this moment, a familiar voice sounded out from behind her. She turned her head back in pleasant surprise. Wasn't that the couple from her family?!

"Mom and Dad, are you alright?" Excited, she ran to where they were hiding.

Being ignored by her father, Ye Zichen waved his hand to stop her from going towards them, "Run to the side, Old Wang and co. are about to be lured over here by you."

Ling Weiran: Was she really her biological daughter?!

The family carried the sprain of an old lady back home. On the way home, they still relied on the golf racket in Ling Weiran's hands. As a nurse, one had to have strength because in many cases, it was necessary to help the patient get up and so on. When she got home, she found out that her old lady had been scared by the dog when she was walking. She had fallen and sprained her leg. Fortunately, nothing had happened. Along the way, he met Old Madam Xie downstairs. She was complaining that the shoes her daughter bought were too small for her. It was not bad when she went out, but after a few steps, she squeezed her feet. Ling Weiran's mother was also a flaunting person. She quickly said a few words about how intimate her daughter was and how comfortable the shoes she bought were. Old Lady Xie then caught up in the conversation and made her take off her shoes for her to try.

The two were about the same age and in the same unit. Xie Weiran's father, who had been fighting with each other every day, was already used to it. He looked at his wife and knew that she had to get her shoes back today, so he supported her along the way.

When the meteor shower occurred, they also fainted for a moment. Fortunately, they were near the bicycle shed, otherwise, like Old Lady Xie, they would have become the dinner of those monsters.

The first thing Ling Weiran did when they returned home was to check all the doors and windows. Her father had been ordered by her mother to fill all the containers with water, and he also gathered all the leftover food in the house. The two elders had experienced all those years and knew that water and food were the most important things in a disaster. She was afraid that the electricity would be cut soon, half a bag of rice was fried into fried rice by Ling Weiran's father, the weather wouldn't be bad no matter how hot it was, the meat in the fridge was salted to death, there weren't many vegetables in the fridge, it would be finished in two meals so she didn't move.

With all this work, the two elders clearly knew that they wouldn't be able to eat for long. In the supermarket, they weren't bitten to death by zombies, but they were almost pushed out to protect the zombies. Luckily, Ling Wei was smart, and when she felt the hand wind behind her back, she immediately dodged to the side and pulled her old man. The two of them didn't dare to follow these people, finding a car on the roadside that they could drive, and went to another supermarket outside the district.

Just like that, they waited until the rescue forces arrived and followed them all the way to the temporary base outside of N City. Although the days were difficult, at least the family of three lived in peace. It was a pity that last winter's blizzard destroyed the east wall of the base. Hungry zombies poured in from the cracks, but because it was too late, a lot of people were bitten to death by zombies in their sleep.

Ling Weiran slept soundly and the two elders did not sleep soundly in their old age. They were woken up by the noises outside. Only then did the family manage to escape from death once more and join the team of survivors.

The leader of the caravan was a soldier. Ling Wei didn't know his full name, but he could hear his subordinates calling him second master sometimes, or they could call him soldier sometimes. The ten of them drove in front of the caravan, clearing the way with their men.

Unlike the people they had met on the way, he did not mind ordinary people following him, and would even help the people behind during times of crisis. Therefore, there were a lot of old, weak, and young people in this caravan, and they were all pushed out and abandoned by other carriages.

Unfortunately, their fates had probably arrived. They wouldn't be able to escape this calamity, right? Ling Wei listened dumbly as the metal wall of the warehouse they were hiding in was hit by the mutated bats. Every sound was like a death knell, slowly eating away at her will to survive.

Those damn things appeared out of nowhere. Just when they were about two to three days away from Tianjin and when everyone was brimming with hope for a new life, these dark horde of mutated bats caught everyone off guard and left them to have a rest and chat. The thought of their target being bitten into a clean set of bones in less than two minutes sent chills down Ling Wei's spine.

The teeth and claws of those things were so strong that they could have bitten through any gap in the car and flown in. They kept banging against the windows all the way, and what was more frightening than the harsh, dull sound was the slowly spreading cracks in the windshield. They followed the soldier's car, flustered, and fled to the warehouse. Unfortunately, after killing the zombies inside, everyone discovered that the warehouse was only a few layers of metal that were casually built, and wasn't as sturdy as when they first saw it from afar.

After being besieged by the mutated bats for five days and four nights, the sounds of collisions outside continued. With hundreds of people like them, it was undoubtedly a feast for the mutated bats. They were unwilling to let them go so easily. The people inside the warehouse were worrying about the situation outside. Unexpectedly, there were also problems inside the warehouse. On the way here, there were people who were bitten by bats. They were afraid that the group would abandon them as a burden, so they followed the others inside, hiding their injuries. After the zombie virus incubation period was over, about 10 people who were still sleeping died by their companions' mouths.

When they first arrived, there were almost five hundred people. After escaping from the zombies, there were only three hundred people left. In the end, they encountered another group of mutated bats. There were only eighty or so left alive in the warehouse. After counting the number of people, Ling Weiran smiled bitterly. The iron warehouse was about to collapse. They would soon be able to meet their new companions underground.

There was a sudden clap of thunder from outside, followed by the shrill cries of mutated bats. For the first time in two days, they were no longer the prey they were fighting against. The second was the hunters they were fighting!

The originally dispirited crowd was now filled with hope again. Ling Wei Ran was also very curious about what was going on outside. It was a pity that the warehouse had no windows now. It was her father who kept his cool and patted her hand to keep her waiting.

Although the telegraph in the soldiers' hands didn't look like the ones he used to use in the army, the old man was able to determine its purpose at first glance. The identity of the group of soldiers was not simple. In an emergency like this, he must have sent a message outside. Therefore, at the beginning, Ling Weiran's father was sure that their rescue would come soon. As long as they could survive, there would be a turning point.

Sure enough, reinforcements arrived so quickly.

The old man was right.

Inside, it was called SAOP. The members of the team despised the fact that the team's name was too close to a prostitute, preferring to be called the Special Task Force. Over time, the original name would be replaced by a later name. Team A was the strongest of the twelve teams. They consisted of five thunder-attribute Disciplines, five water-attribute Disciplines, five ice-attribute Disciplines, and ten earth and wood element Warriors. There were a total of twenty-five of them. They were all special soldiers before the apocalypse, so their physical fitness was already very high. After receiving the military's special ability strengthening program, they were even more powerful. With the soldier's high level of coordination, their team of 25 had the same combat ability as a regular unit of 200 people. They had never failed in their task of exterminating zombies.

Therefore, the top biologists and scientists of Southern University, including their leader Yan Binghui, didn't take the rescue mission to heart. He was annoyed that they had been told to go around to Tianjin to pick up a team from an unofficial organization on the same mission, but as a soldier, his first priority was to obey. Even if he was dissatisfied with the order, he still went around to Tianjin to pick up someone.

Similarly dissatisfied with this mission was also Gu Cheng himself. Yes, he was the person that Yan Binghui wanted to meet at Tianjin, along with Luo Wei and his team. Those three families and Lin Xin were taken hostage and taken to the Tianjin First Base.

The matter was as such. Although the young man Zhao Chen and his parents had accidentally died on their way to Beijing that day, before they died, they had begged their old comrade, who was a close friend of Zhao Chen's, Lin Wenhua, the First Base of Tianjin, to take good care of the last lone child of their Zhao Family.

When Zhao Chen escaped from Yunnan, he did not know that his parents had been killed. On the way to Beijing, he passed through Tianjin and was recognized by the guards at the base. Lin Wenhua told him the whole story, so Zhao Chen did not go to Beijing.

Lin Wenhua didn't even have a son of his own, and his wife who died early didn't leave him a child or a girl. Even if the other children were trying their best to help him get better, they still wouldn't be able to see an egg hatching inside of them. After a few years of tormenting himself, his heart finally felt at ease. He knew that there was something wrong with his body, and he had forced the few girls to stay away from him. On the other hand, he claimed that he missed his dead wife too much, and it was not that he didn't want her in his stomach.

Zhao Chen had come at the right time. Lin Wenhua looked at him as if he was looking at his own son. Since his comrade was already dead, there was no one left in the Zhao Family. From then on, Lin Wen Hua treated Zhao Chen like his own son.

Therefore, when Zhao Chen came knocking to say that the newcomer Gu Cheng and his gang had bullied him on the way here, even though he knew that this half-confident son of his was lying while rolling his eyes about nonstop, hiding some facts. He was too lazy to pursue the matter as long as he was happy.

Summoning his aide-de-camp to ask around, he knew that this Gu Cheng was not someone who had a family background in Beijing. Before coming to Tianjin, he had wanted to enter Beijing, but had been rejected by Beijing. However, as soon as they entered the base, they immediately rented the villa area's Number 13. This aroused his interest.

After clarifying that Gu Cheng and the others had not chosen to pay the food and had instead chosen to leave the mission, it just so happened that he still had an impression of the distress telegram that the soldier had sent three days ago. He sent a message to his subordinates, forcing them to leave the mission.

Of course, he was satisfied with the whole process, but when the aide-de-camp arranged for someone to go out and spread the word, he still felt that it was not enough. He sent a few of his own men with him, along with a lot of guns and grenades.

Although Lin Wenhua was the head of the base, he didn't dare to overdo it. If they didn't dare to accept this mission, then it would be better if he left the base, lest a small district got in Zhao Chen's way. He had underestimated Zhao Chen's guts, as well as his hatred towards Gu Cheng. Later on, he had threatened Gu Cheng with a gun and a grenade, blasting everyone in the house to death if they didn't accept any missions. He had even said that as long as they stayed in the house for a day, they would be careful not to miss his bullets. Under his coercion, that family still accepted the rescue mission. His woman and the other two families were taken down by the base and held hostage by Zhao Chen's men.

Gu Cheng had the confidence and ability to bring Lin Xin along with him in a hail of bullets. However, he couldn't guarantee that the other two families wouldn't be implicated. Therefore, just as he was about to take action against those people, Lin Xin hurriedly pulled him back, smiling as she shook her head. Those two families also knew that they had implicated Gu Cheng and Lin Xin.

They did not know about Gu Cheng's mission, but judging from the tone of their voices and the expressions on their faces, it was clearly dangerous. Those people did not give Gu Cheng any time to talk with the others, so they escorted him away. The next day, Lin Xin learned from the people watching them that Gu Cheng was facing a large group of mutated bats, seemingly numbering in the millions. Once surrounded by them, within two minutes, they would be reduced to a bare skeleton.

Originally, she had not been that worried about his safety. If it really wasn't for Gu Cheng being able to teleport away, his spiritual force barrier would have been able to protect him from the mutated bats' attacks. She knew that she was very selfish. She could only hope that when Gu Cheng was faced with danger, he would definitely remember to only care about her, and that he definitely wouldn't sacrifice himself just because he was going to save someone else.

After Gu Cheng left, other than the two families, there were still two men remaining. The remaining house full of old people and young ones were all absent, including Bighead Yang, who had thrown their men in front of the car. Seeing that they were so weak that they couldn't even withstand a single blow, the guards gradually relaxed their surveillance on them.

Everyone avoided the guards and agreed that they would not be able to stay here any longer. After packing their luggage, they took advantage of the guard's naps in the middle of the night to place all their belongings onto the carriage left behind by Gu Cheng. The next morning when they arrived at the base and opened the small door, they knocked out the guards, took their guns and ammunition, and let Lin Xin drive the bus all the way out. By the time Zhao Chen and the others received the news and chased after them, Lin Xin and the others had already escaped for over an hour.

They didn't know where exactly Gu Cheng was carrying out his mission. They only knew that those trapped people were still around three days away from Tianjin before they drove off in the direction of Ji Nan. Currently, it had already been three days since Gu Cheng and the rest had set off.

On the other side, the special forces led Gu Cheng and the others, following the dark mass of events in the sky to find the warehouse where Ah'Bao and the others were. The closer the car got, the heavier Yan Binghui and the rest's mood became. They had never met this kind of creature before, even the members of Special Task Force A who had gone through the most dangerous and dangerous missions before. When they heard the thunderous sound of the monster's wings flapping, they felt a sense of unease in their hearts.

When Gu Cheng clearly saw these mutated bats, he was even more astonished. In his previous life, he had never heard of these monsters leaving Demon Town, but now they had actually appeared in a place that shouldn't be, could it be the butterfly effect of his rebirth?

Unfortunately, the situation did not allow for him to think further. The army of five began to work together to kill the mutated bats. The thunderous sounds produced by the lightning strikes attracted the attention of the demons. Luo Wei and the others had been dragged out by Gu Cheng to die together. On the way over, they had been prepared to help Gu Cheng out, but seeing the commotion happening outside, they were all stunned.

They had been warned by Zhang Rong to collect crystal cores, but before he could tell them how to use them, he was killed by Sophie's boyfriend. In the end, Bing Bing was too curious to hide it from everyone and tried it secretly. After eating her stomach, everyone found out that she had fainted. They thought she would turn into a zombie or be poisoned to death, but they didn't expect her to form a ball of ice on her palm when she woke up. Therefore, everyone started to swallow their crystal cores. The group's strength increased greatly after they evolved into ice type superpowers, fire type superpowers, and water type superpowers. Luo Wei's strength had become the weakest among them, and other than clearing the lightning ahead of time and checking the situation in front of the group, there was no other use for him.

Luckily, everyone had been walking here since before the apocalypse, and no one was like Zhang Rong, eyeing Luo Wei's position as captain like a tiger. Everyone was used to listening to the commands of Luo Wei. In fact, the majority of the decisions made by the convoy were made by them when they voted together. Although Luo Wei's personality was a little soft, he respected everyone and had a positive attitude towards the existence of everyone in the team. Such a person filled with positive energy naturally became the spiritual pillar of the team.

They had originally thought that they were considered strong. Although they knew that the mission was very steep, they weren't too worried. After clearly seeing the situation outside and seeing that the special forces under the military command were significantly stronger than them and were barely dealing with the monsters, they couldn't help but feel scared.

He told Luo Wei not to get out of the car no matter what happened. If they really wanted to help, they could just open a small hole in the back window, big enough for two people to surround them and launch long-range superpowers. But, they must be careful not to let the mutated bat get into the car.

Luo Wei was truly worthy of being the leader of the convoy. He clearly understood that Gu Cheng naturally had his own motives for saying such words. They would instead cause trouble for him if they got off the car, dragging him down. Therefore, he instructed Bing Bing and Guan Qing to team up and open a small gap in the rear window. The two of them then used this gap, which was not even the width of a finger, to shoot their superpowers at the nearest mutated bat. When their Disciplines ran out, the other group had to make up for it. Although they couldn't help much with the others, they could at least help them eliminate a small portion of them.

After twenty minutes of cooperative combat, the five-man team had made some mistakes. The intense combat had forced some of the team members to stop holding back. Some of the team members were running out of superpowers. Once the attacking tempo of the group was disrupted, the enclosed battle circle seemed to have been opened up. The dense mass of mutated bats agilely focused their attacks on the food in front of them. The fifth group was surrounded by the mutated bats after hearing the miserable shrieks. They could only watch on helplessly as their comrades, who were acting as companions, turned into a pile of bones in the blink of an eye.

His Discipline was running out, but the millions of mutated bats in front of him hadn't lost much of their power. This group of bats was too smart. They were able to kill the bats a few times before they hit water, but when they encountered water fog, they flapped their wings and flew far away. The lightning ability lost its conductive medium and its power was greatly reduced. The assistance of the wood and earth element teammates played the most important role of protection in this battle. If not for them, the teammates in charge of killing bats wouldn't have been able to avoid being bitten by the constantly suppressing mutated bats. They had never used their superpowers without stopping on a mission like the one they were on today. It was exactly because of the exhaustion of the superpowers responsible for their defense that the mutated bats surrounded them and sacrificed their lives.

I can't go on like this! Yan Binghui glanced at his exhausted teammates. While rescue missions were important, the safety of their teammates was also important. After loudly issuing the order to stop the battle and withdraw to adjust themselves, the remaining twenty members of the team protected each other as they retreated to the car.

The sound of mutated bats hitting each other constantly came from the car window. Just as Yan Binhui was catching his breath, he heard a member of his squad shout out in alarm, "Captain, there's still someone that hasn't retreated!"

He took a closer look. Apart from those who had died, everyone in the carriage was already present. Then, who was that person?
