Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot

Chapter 759: Chapter 300 Rainbow After Rain_1

Seeing the train depart smoothly had initially brought joy to everyone. However, their expressions instantly turned serious when they saw that the rain seemed about to stop.

The stopping of the rain meant that the zombies would evolve!

According to past experience, the longer the rain lasted, the stronger the zombies would evolve once it stopped.

This rain had been falling for more than two months! Nobody knew how strong the zombies would become this time!

Duan Xuchang sensed the atmosphere becoming somewhat oppressive and tried to lighten the mood with a smile,

“There’s no need to worry too much, everyone. We’re not far from Changhe City Base now. At our current speed, we should arrive by this afternoon! Once we’re inside the base, any danger will be kept at bay!”

“Mhm!”

Seeing Duan Xuchang’s confident expression, everyone relaxed slightly. However, their vigilance did not wane, knowing that caution was paramount, especially on the eve of victory!@@novelbin@@

Duan Xuchang also began to arrange for a large number of people to be on duty. There was no need to rest now; they could rest well once they safely returned to the base.

Following the actions of these soldiers on the train, the survivors from Zijin Base weren’t fools either, and quickly some guessed that they might be nearing their destination.

From the monitors, one could see that they were a mix of excited and anxious.

“I’ll go and soothe them.”

Lan Yulian spoke up.

About to enter a new environment, nobody knew what it would be like or whether it could accommodate ordinary people like them.

Although the promises made before had sounded good, those were others’ words. Without witnessing it themselves, they certainly wouldn’t feel assured.

Lan Yulian understood their feelings; as the former leader of these survivors, it was natural for her to go and calm and reassure them.

As for why she was referred to as the “former leader,” that was because after arriving at Changhe Base, Lan Yulian probably wouldn’t lead them anymore.

She had become the leader at the clubhouse out of necessity for survival. Later, she became the leader of Zijin Base because she felt she could lead them to live well.

If these survivors were now safe, there was naturally no need for her to continue as leader.

Compared to being a leader, she preferred to stay by Wang Tao’s side and help him.

“We’ll go with you.”

Wei Zhenguo, Xiang Hongbin, and a few others also spoke up.

They also had experience in calming and reassuring people.

“Thank you!”

Lan Yulian then led them over. Wang Tao did not join; he was not good at these sorts of things.

Yang Changhong looked at the fast-moving scenery outside the window. She rested her head on Wang Tao’s shoulder, her face tinted with a touch of melancholy.

Yang Changhong initially aimed to find her sister. Just when she thought all hope was lost, she suddenly stumbled upon some clues. Just as she believed she might find her sister, the leads vanished, and she experienced a super zombie tide…

Although she had come to accept the reality that her sister could not have survived, she still felt a sense of reluctance… but what could she do about it? On her own, she couldn’t change anything. Even if she managed to arrive at Changhe Base safely, her sister…

Wang Tao kissed Yang Changhong on the forehead and then hugged her shoulders tightly.

Apart from Yang Changhong, who was searching for someone, He Jijun was also initially looking for his granddaughter. But He Jijun had long since accepted reality, after all, he had seen his granddaughter turn into a zombie with his own eyes…

But He Jijun had not given up hope.

He was already old, with no elders above or young ones below. To him, this world held little to look forward to.

If it weren’t for the task of finding his granddaughter, perhaps he would have given up on resistance long ago… That was probably what drove him to keep living.

The others, more or less, also had their own reflections.

After all, they would arrive at Changhe Base in a few hours and start a new life. No one knew whether this new life would be good or bad, or even how long they would be able to live…

Compared to them, Ding Yuqin and the others who were Wang Tao’s initial companions, were more composed. They had always been wandering, and had long been eager to find a place where they could live in peace. Even if Changhe Base wasn’t great, it was bound to be better than wandering, not to mention that Changhe Base sounded quite promising.

Li Qiuyu, not far away, stole a glance at Wang Tao. She subconsciously tightened her grip on Jiang Shixue’s hand, her little face troubled. She was unsure how Wang Tao would arrange things for her afterward…

As for Wang Tao himself, he didn’t have any particular feelings for the moment.

After all, in the more than half a year since the apocalypse began, he had changed locations too many times and had grown accustomed to it.

His first impression of Changhe Base was quite good. Moreover, he was really looking forward to getting his hands on some Powered Armor to play with!

…

Some time later, Jiang Shixue suddenly spoke up.

“The rain is really about to stop.”

Wang Tao got up and came to the window.

It was pouring rain when they set out in the morning, but now it had turned to a lingering drizzle.

The distant dark clouds seemed about to disperse, and one could barely make out the sun behind them.

Occasional rain could brighten one’s mood, but ongoing rain could become irritating.

Now, seeing the sun about to break through the clouds, everyone’s spirits were uplifted.

At that moment, Duan Xuchang’s voice came through everyone’s earpieces.

“Ladies and gentlemen, although I would have liked for everyone to arrive safely at Changhe Base, I must now interrupt, for we might have a little trouble that needs resolving.”

At his words, everyone’s expression turned solemn.

“What trouble?”

Wang Tao immediately asked.
