Chapter 185 Homemade Cableway
Emerging from the underground shelter, a small team remained in the underground parking garage, guarding the few severely wounded survivors who were too badly injured to be dismembered.
The wounds on the injured men's bodies had begun to fester, and countless parasites were visibly wriggling under their skin, causing them excruciating pain and screams of agony.
If their injuries weren't so severe that they couldn't move, they would probably prefer to die.
Those with family members have someone to take care of them and offer words of comfort from time to time. Those without family members have no choice but to bear it all on their own.
The soldiers guarding the area simply stood at a distance, unable to bear looking at the people.
Although the base still wanted to try to save these people and even gave them deworming medication, the pre-apocalyptic medications were almost useless, or rather, too ineffective.
Aside from making the parasites in their bodies uncomfortable, it has no other effect and actually makes these people feel even worse.
When Zhou Yang and the others came up and saw this scene, they were also quite distressed, but there was nothing they could do about it.
Unless a highly effective antiparasitic drug from the previous life can be developed, the antiparasitic drugs used before the apocalypse will be completely ineffective.
However, the drug that can kill parasites is also very potent. Ordinary people without superpowers would be half-dead even if they were saved, and few could survive.
Therefore, the best way is to avoid being parasitized, or to remove the bones and flesh promptly after parasitism occurs.
Seeing that these people might not survive the night, Zhou Yang was worried and asked Yan Fei to call Gu Tianqi to explain the precautions for the parasitized corpse.
First, avoid direct contact with the corpses to prevent secondary parasitism. In addition, the corpses should be taken outside the base for cremation to prevent survivors inside the base from coming into contact with the larvae.
After finishing the call, the group mentioned it to the squad leader. Seeing that the squad leader listened attentively and nodded, Zhou Yang and the others finally felt relieved and left the underground parking garage.
It was very quiet outside. Apart from a few soldiers cleaning up the mess, there was hardly anyone else in sight.
Zhou Yang took out a car from his spatial storage, and the group got in and drove towards the base gate.
Looking at the empty buildings on both sides, Zhou Yang couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.
The base, which was bustling with activity last night, has turned into a desolate wasteland in the blink of an eye.
The group arrived at the base gate in a few minutes, greeted the guards at the gate, and then left the base.
Not far from the base, the corpses of insects were piled high and burning fiercely under the firepower of several fire-type ability users.
After exiting the base gate, the group got out of the car.
After putting away the car, Zhou Yang patted Pea's head: "Little one, grow bigger, you have to take us to a faraway place."
Upon hearing this, the pea barked twice, excitedly spun around, and then transformed into an extra-large size.
This was the first time Chi Feng had seen Pea today. He was stunned for a moment when he saw Pea suddenly turn into a small mountain, and then looked down at the husky next to him, who was sticking out its tongue and enjoying itself...
Tsk, compare prices and you'll regret it!
"I thought you were just an ordinary dog. I didn't know you could grow this big. You're even bigger than my husky."
"Oh, no, my pea also has fire-type abilities. And it's the strongest among us!"
Chi Feng: "???" Are you kidding me?
"It has fire-based abilities?! That's impossible. I didn't even realize it had any abilities, unless it's stronger than me..."
Chi Feng's face clearly showed disbelief, but seeing Zhou Yang's nonchalant expression, he couldn't continue speaking, and looked at Wandou as if he had seen a ghost.
"Holy crap! It's even stronger than me! What kind of monster dog do you own?!"
Zhou Yang waved his hand: "Sigh, it's probably because my pea is exceptionally talented! And I guess it's not much more talented than yours, maybe just a tiny bit. You don't need to worry too much."
Chi Feng: "..." Do you want to hear what you're saying for yourself?
Is he reborn worse off than a dog? He now seriously suspects that this dog was also reborn!
Otherwise, where would it get its talent?
Chi Feng pinched himself to calm down, and then he realized that Zhou Yang was even worse than a dog, which made him feel like he had regained some face.
Then he turned around and called the husky over, making it grow bigger on the spot as well.
Zhou Yang and the other two sat on the pea, looking at the husky that was a head smaller than the pea, and suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction as if they were raising someone else's child.
After Chi Feng and the other two got on the husky, and then pointed out the direction to Wandou and the husky, the group set off.
Pea ran ahead with a blast, leaving the husky behind in no time.
The husky immediately displayed its goofy nature upon seeing this, ignoring the three two-legged creatures on its back, and chased after them with all its might, almost throwing Chi Feng and the other two off.
Fortunately, Chi Feng reacted quickly and immediately used rattan to tie the three of them, along with Hua Juan and Erha, tightly together.
Tsk, I've never seen this lousy dog run this fast before. It's true what they say, without competition, there's no pressure; all it does is laze around and wait to die.
……
An hour later, the group finally arrived in Anshan.
The city center is just ahead.
"Your biotech company is located in the city center?! Are you crazy? Wouldn't it be better to find a remote industrial park? Is the land too cheap?"
"No, it's just wasteland that we bought years ago. It only became a new urban area after the area developed."
Zhou Yang: "..."
He's practically worn out the word "envy."
For the rest of the journey, the two mutated dogs were too large, making it difficult for them to move around.
So they turned Pea and Husky back to normal, and Zhou Yang took out two cars to continue their journey.
This time, the peas only shrank back to medium size and followed the car.
The puppy looked so boring, it wasn't happy about it.
With Chi Feng and his group driving ahead and Chi Feng, a level 6 ability user, controlling the mutated plants to clear the way, Zhou Yang and his two companions followed behind, making things much easier. They also managed to wipe out some zombies along the way.
However, the closer they got to the city center, the more zombies there were, and the car gradually began to struggle to move.
The group had no choice but to park in a building, put away their car, and head inside.
After reaching the second floor, they had Yan Fei make a metal door on the ground floor to temporarily block the zombies behind them. They continued running all the way up to the fifth floor before stopping to catch their breath.
"Why are there so many zombies here? What do we do next? How much further is it?"
“Well, there weren’t this many last night. Maybe we threw a few grenades when we left last night, which attracted the attention.” Chi Feng rubbed his nose. “But our company is not far behind this building. It’s the one with Huafeng Biotechnology written on it.”
Following Chi Feng's gaze, the group looked out the window and saw a twenty-story building with the four large characters "Huafeng Biotechnology" hanging on it.
Zhou Yang and the other two looked at each other in silence, then turned to look at Chi Feng: ...
Your company is over twenty stories high! My apologies for not recognizing you!
"How do we get through this?"
Their destination was right in front of them, but looking at the streets below filled with zombies, the group was at a loss.
"We could have Yan Fei build a cable car. If we climb to the very top of the building, we should be able to just pass by these smaller buildings and shopping mall in the middle. But it seems a bit far, more than a kilometer as the crow flies, which is a bit risky."
Yan Fei glanced at the distance between the two places: "I'm level 5 now, so it shouldn't be a big problem. Let's go up and try."
The group then climbed all the way to the top floor.
This building was already quite tall, with 16 floors, but it was still a small fry compared to Chi Feng's building. Fortunately, it was much taller than the other office buildings and shopping malls in the middle, so it wouldn't block their way.
Yan Fei activated his supernatural ability, first using the spire of the building on this side as a fixed object, and then surrounded it with metal before aiming at the tenth floor or so of the Huafeng Building across the street, and releasing a metal rope with all his might.
The rope went straight through the glass, around the wall, and back through the glass on the other side, making a complete loop.
