Zhao Longchuan seemed to notice his sister's thoughts and spoke first:
"Young man, I see you have good skills!
It's not easy for someone to survive this long in the apocalypse and still possess such strength!
How about this, why don't you join our Wolf Fang Survivor Camp!
Come with us!
Zhao Longchuan invited heartily.
Without waiting for Zhang Chen to reply, he continued to explain:
"Intelligence shows that a large zombie horde is rapidly approaching from the north!
It's expected to arrive here in three days!
This horde is much larger than the ones on this sports field!
According to drone reconnaissance, there are over a dozen of these giant zombies alone!
Crawlers and Venom Breeders number in the hundreds or thousands!
The number of regular zombies is initially estimated to be over 100,000!
A zombie tide of this scale is beyond the capability of any individual or camp to resist!
All the survivors here will likely be trapped and perish!
We've already gathered all the survivors willing to leave with us!
I suggest you evacuate south with us!
There's a military base over there!
We can use it as a base to defend against the zombie tide!
Zhao Longchuan said with a serious expression.
"Thank you for the invitation, but I prefer to stay here!"
Zhang Chen refused politely without even thinking.
Zombie tide?
He was already looking for zombies to fight.
In the apocalypse, if you don't proactively strive to become stronger, you will eventually be eliminated.
It's like rowing upstream; if you don't advance, you fall back!
Anyway, with his current strength, even if he couldn't defeat the zombie tide, escaping wouldn't be difficult.
If he left now, wouldn't he be missing out on an excellent opportunity to improve himself?!
Zhao Longchuan looked at his worried sister, Zhao Xiyue.
This man is strong, he might survive.
But Zhao Xiyue definitely doesn't have that kind of strength...
He absolutely cannot let his sister take such a risk with this man!
With their parents gone, he had to protect his sister's safety!
Zhao Longchuan gently shook his head and continued to persuade:
"Young man, I know you are skilled!
But surviving alone in this apocalypse is still too dangerous!
We have military protection there, as well as ample food, water, and an ecological circulation system!
Only by sticking together can we survive this harsh apocalypse!
And as you know... twenty-four days from now is when the real test begins...
Zhao Longchuan reminded him.
"Actually, just as Captain Zhao said!
In this harsh apocalypse, running away is not the best solution!
Only by continuously getting stronger and adapting to the harsh environment can we survive!
If a mere zombie tide can drive me away...
How can I face the more severe test twenty-four days later?!
Zhang Chen's words struck Zhao Longchuan with their resonance!
Indeed...
If they couldn't even withstand a zombie tide of 100,000...
How could they face the earth-shattering changes in twenty-four days?!
However, if these words came from an ordinary person, Zhao Longchuan would have just sneered dismissively.
Who can't brag?!
But coming from Zhang Chen's mouth.
Zhao Longchuan couldn't help but feel that...
Zhang Chen was speaking the truth!
He actually intended to intercept the zombie tide, and might even have the ability to do so!
Zhao Longchuan was startled by this sudden thought!
A single person intercepting a zombie tide?
It was an unthinkable feat!
"Everyone has their own ambitions, Captain Zhao, let us bid farewell here!
Zhang Chen clasped his hands in a salute towards Zhao Longchuan.
The latter knew this was a polite dismissal.
"In that case, we shall meet again, young man!
Let's go, Xiyue!
Zhao Longchuan said to Zhao Xiyue.
"Brother Zhang Chen..."
Zhao Xiyue looked at Zhang Chen pitifully, her eyes full of reluctance.
Zhang Chen turned his head away.
Facing a zombie tide of hundreds of thousands.
Even with his full effort, Zhang Chen couldn't guarantee victory.
How could he have the capacity to protect Zhao Xiyue by his side?
It was safer for her to go with her brother to the military base.
At least with Zhao Longchuan's special forces team, her safety would be assured!
"Alright, Xiyue, let's go!
With young brother Zhang Chen's strength... he will definitely survive in the apocalypse!
I believe we will meet again!
Zhao Longchuan soothed her gently.
"Brother Zhang Chen!~
You must survive!
Zhao Xiyue, pulled along by Zhao Longchuan for a few steps, suddenly turned back and shouted at Zhang Chen.
Her eyes were filled with starlight.
She hoped Zhang Chen would change his mind and leave with them.
Or, she was willing to stay and fight alongside him.
But Zhang Chen just waved his hand silently, then slowly turned around...
"Alright, Sister Xiyue, let's go!
We often hear your brother mention you, but we never imagined you were so beautiful...
Jiang Chenchen said with a smile, linking arms with Zhao Xiyue.
At the same time, she subtly glanced at Zhang Chen following Zhao Xiyue's gaze.
She felt this man was somehow different from others.
She replayed the image of Zhang Chen blocking bullets with his Tang sword in her mind.
This man could block her bullets?
This bothered her.
"Alright, let's hurry up and depart!
We need to settle into the military base as soon as possible and establish defensive fortifications!
There's another big battle coming in 24 days!
Zhao Longchuan said seriously.
"Yes!
The squad members responded in unison.
Then, they automatically formed ranks and marched out of the campus with orderly steps...
As for the zombie corpses strewn across the entire sports field, and the readily available energy cores.
They were undisturbed!
They didn't even spare a second glance!
Zhang Chen stood silently in place, watching the convoy move further away.
Until the convoy completely disappeared from his sight.
Only then did he shift his attention back to the sports field covered with zombie corpses.
It was time to reap the rewards!
Zhang Chen tied the captured Black person to a tree and began harvesting!
Perhaps there were indeed no other survivors near the school.
Or perhaps Zhang Chen's earlier display of blocking bullets had stunned the surrounding survivors.
Regardless of the reason, no other survivors appeared.
The entire sports field was filled with zombie corpses.
Zhang Chen spent over an hour harvesting them by himself!
"Ding, harvesting successful!
Congratulations on obtaining:
[Energy Core] *5320+1064 (Energy Evolution Talent bonus), [Mutated Fertilizer] *13725, [Accelerated Fertilizer] *120, [Evolver Blood] *22, [Tough Leather] *66, [Sharp Claws] *36, [Corrosion Solution] *5, [Corrosion-Resistant Leather] *10...
After harvesting the regular zombies and Crawlers, which were Type II infected zombies, Zhang Chen then turned his attention to the Giant Tank zombie beside him.
The Zombie Blind Box is now open!
