"Do you think there might be other survivors in here?"

After entering the Water Plant, another petite girl, her face and body covered in ash, asked softly.

"Probably not, right?"

A slightly chubby man with a buzz cut said uncertainly.

"Hopefully not, hopefully we don't run into other survivors..."

The petite girl muttered.

This caused everyone to fall silent.

Before they set out, they had hoped to encounter other survivors, after all, there's strength in numbers. But due to certain events, they no longer trusted survivors outside of their group.

"To be precise, hopefully we don't encounter any survivors with ill intentions!"

Officer Han corrected the petite girl, then encouraged them.

"Even in peaceful times, there are scumbags in society, let alone now. We can't deny all of humanity because of a few individual scumbags. We must always remember that unity makes us stronger! Of course, we still need to be vigilant..."

What happened before made Officer Han feel very uncomfortable, but she still had to give everyone a pep talk, so they wouldn't give up.

After all, their destination was a Survivor Base, and if they completely lost trust in others, they would never reach it.

"Officer Han is right! We shouldn't be too pessimistic, there are still good people in the world, like the people at the Survivor Base we're heading to. But there are also bad people, which means we need to be vigilant!"

A college student-looking guy quickly spoke up.

The policewoman, surnamed Han, immediately gave him an approving look.

In this time of crisis, external pressure isn't the most terrifying thing, the most terrifying thing is internal strife and despair. As long as they have even a glimmer of hope for the future, their chances of survival will greatly increase! "Yes, yes! We must believe that we will definitely make it to the Survivor Base alive!"

The others quickly echoed, their spirits rising slightly.

The male college student, who had received Officer Han's approving look, puffed out his chest.

Officer Han's husband glanced at the male college student without any expression, his gaze a little displeased. But he didn't say anything.

Officer Han carefully surveyed her surroundings, there was something she didn't tell everyone—judging from the wound on the head of the security guard Zombie just now, it hadn't been dead for long! There might really be someone in this Water Plant... She had to be careful!

The Water Plant was relatively empty, and there were no Zombies, so the group quickly reached the small building where Wang Tao was.

"Officer Han, why don't we rest here for the night..."

The petite girl asked weakly.

She was afraid of encountering Zombies if they went any further.

Before Officer Han could speak, her husband immediately said, "No way! Haven't you noticed that this building has been abandoned for a long time? The moss is so high! The door is also locked! And we're not just resting, we also need to find food! Without food, we won't be able to reach the Survivor Base! There are no Zombies in the Water Plant right now, it's a good opportunity for us to scavenge!"

Seeing that everyone was hesitant, he asked:

"Do you want to scavenge for food now while it's not dangerous, or do you want to wait until tomorrow to scavenge for food in a dangerous place with Zombies?"

As soon as he said this, everyone instantly felt that taking some small risks now was better than taking bigger risks later.

However, everyone still subconsciously looked at Officer Han, after all, they were all saved by Officer Han, and Officer Han had protected them all the way.

Officer Han's husband's face darkened.

He felt that this was the most correct decision at the moment, anyone with a brain should agree, instead of looking at someone else for their opinion.

"A bunch of indecisive people!"

He cursed inwardly.

"I think Wei Guang is right, let's go inside the building and take a look..."

Officer Han pondered for a moment, then nodded.

Although she felt that if there were any survivors, they would most likely be in that building. But survivors aren't necessarily bad people, they can communicate.

And Zombies are all enemies, it's a matter of life and death when you encounter them!

So taking some risks now is worthwhile, if they can really find some food, then they won't have to take too many risks later.

After getting Officer Han's approval, the group slowly headed towards the building.

Officer Han walked in front with a police baton, followed closely by the male college student with a table leg.

In the middle were Officer Han's husband, empty-handed, and the petite girl, while the yellow-haired young man and the slightly chubby crew-cut man brought up the rear, each wielding a Kitchen Knife and a Steel Pipe.

The Water Plant building had three floors, and the front door was open. The group cautiously entered.

Inside the dilapidated building.

Wang Tao, watching the group leave from behind the curtains, frowned.

"Survivor Base? Could it be the Red Stone Survivor Base? No, it shouldn't be the Red Stone Base; it's fifty kilometers from here! There's no way these people could walk that far..."

Suddenly, Wang Tao seemed to remember something, and his eyebrows rose.

"I heard on the Walkie-talkie before that there's a Survivor Base near Shui Ze University, and Shui Ze University isn't far from here... They might be going to Shui Ze University!"

Wang Tao was still very interested in Survivor Bases.

If these people were searching for supplies from a Survivor Base, Wang Tao might seek them out to inquire about the specific situation.

But these people clearly hadn't been to a Survivor Base yet; they were planning to go, so they probably didn't know much. Wang Tao wasn't very interested then.

He lowered the curtains and checked the entire building, making sure all the doors and windows were locked, before returning to his room and taking out his Radio, Walkie-talkie, and phone.

He glanced at his phone, still without a signal. Taking the phone was purely out of habit; he used to have to have a phone in his hand even when going to the bathroom.

He turned on the Radio and Walkie-talkie, but they still only produced static, with no signal. However, Wang Tao was having a great time playing with them.

The sun set.

Darkness slowly enveloped the earth.

Wang Tao could clearly feel that something outside was... different.

During the day, it was actually very quiet outside, with hardly any sound.

But at night, he would faintly hear all kinds of roars coming from outside, and even just listening to the sounds was frightening.

Wang Tao took a deep breath and, after confirming that the house was safe again, prepared to sleep.

Before going to bed, he habitually lifted the curtains to observe outside.

Then his pupils instantly shrank.

"What the hell!"

He saw a mass of heads, like a black tide, appearing on the road in the distance!

They twisted their bodies and slowly walked towards here.

Zombies, they were all Zombies!
