The main force marched for another three days.

Food shortages began to appear in the team, but with Li Yong distributing spare supplies, the team managed to maintain a semblance of stability.

Recently, Zhang Mu and others have been coming to see Luo Hao every day. The group has gotten along well, and Luo Hao answers whatever they ask, telling them everything he knows, which is what Zheng Sheng instructed him to do.

As their relationship improved, Luo Hao even managed to find out the details of their abilities.

Grandpa Niu has been very busy in the team lately.

He would chat with Li Yong and others every day to learn about the specific situation in Shaluo County. He also had a very harmonious relationship with the special forces team. Moreover, his physical fitness, which far exceeded that of ordinary people, shocked these veterans.

Besides that, Grandpa Niu found his true love in the group, whose name is Zhang Lian.

Aunt Zhang looks to be in her forties or fifties. She has an artistic vibe, wears glasses, and has very fair skin that she takes very good care of. She seems to have been a university teacher before.

Grandpa Liu fell in love with her at first sight, attracted by her artistic temperament. Recently, he has even stopped wearing vests and slippers and started wearing leather shoes and a vest.

After several days of persistent pursuit, the two finally confirmed their relationship yesterday.

After last night, Aunt Zhang seemed very satisfied with Grandpa Niu. When she woke up this morning, she was beaming and even made him a bowl of soup to nourish his body.

"Ah Lian, you're so kind."

"I am an Awakened One. From now on, you will follow me, and I will definitely protect you."

Looking at the affectionate Grandpa Liu, Zhang Lian nodded.

"Da Niu, do we really have to go back to Shaluo County? There are a lot of monsters there, and a lot of giant snails. I'm scared..."

Seeing this, Grandpa Niu hugged Zhang Lian tightly and comforted her gently.

"Ah Lian, don't be afraid!"

"I'm here, I'll definitely protect you."

"Even if I can't protect you, our captain definitely can!"

"He's an extremely powerful Sequence Awakener, killing monsters one by one with a single strike! He's incredibly powerful!"

Zheng Sheng's eyes twitched when he heard what Grandpa Niu said.

This old man is shameless; he's using himself as a shield to seduce an older woman.

And you spoke so loudly, I heard everything!

After spending some more time together, the two of them quickly warmed up to each other. They glanced around and then secretly went to Grandpa Niu's tricycle, where they set up their tent in broad daylight.

Soon, the tricycle began to shake violently.

Zheng Sheng stared at the swaying tricycle from afar, speechless as he rubbed his forehead.

If he hadn't been able to see Grandpa Niu's attribute panel and knew that Grandpa Liu was very strong, he would never have let this idiot join his team.

"Calm down, calm down! Grandpa Niu is just developing his abilities and trying to become stronger!"

After trying to comfort herself, Zheng Sheng calmed down considerably.

He began making today's Yang Blood Paper Soldiers.

For the past three days, in addition to making paper soldiers with yang blood every day, he has also been learning calligraphy, swimming and painting from the people in the team, and learning shooting and military boxing from Grandpa Niu.

After several days of hard work, I have barely mastered four skills: calligraphy, swimming, shooting, and military boxing, and have added them to my skill list.

However, the difficulty of drawing far exceeded his expectations. After studying for a few days, he still couldn't draw an egg well, but he could draw a few ugly chicks.

So in the end, Zheng Sheng had no choice but to give up painting.

"System, enhance shooting skills."

[Ding, 3000 survival points consumed, upgrade successful, current shooting skill level 2.]

When Zheng Sheng opened his eyes again after the prompt ended, it was as if he had studied shooting for 10 years; his marksmanship was accurate, and even his eyesight seemed to have improved.

"Captain Zheng, we're almost at Shaluo County."

Li Yong suddenly walked over at this moment, his face solemn.

He also told Zheng Sheng something special.

"Captain Zheng... As I mentioned before, our special operations team came to Shaluo County on a mission... We were protecting a biological research expert... His name is... Bai Jing..."

"Two months after the giant black tide... something escaped from the black tide... monsters and strange occurrences began to appear in the human world... Project Spark Phase Three is launched..."

"...An anomaly occurred in Shaluo County...We parachuted here with Professor Bai...Later, the Black Tide erupted in Shaluo County..."

After Li Yong finished speaking, Zheng Sheng had a general understanding of the situation.

"You mean... you and these teachers and university students all came to Shaluo County specifically to conduct research, and there's a very important Professor Bai among them?"

Li Yong nodded.

"Professor Bai is currently the top biological research expert in the country, and he is very young. This time, we are protecting him to carry out a mission in Shaluo County for the Human Spark Program."

"Captain Zheng, I know this is very presumptuous, but I still want to ask you."

"If possible, I hope you can help me find Professor Bai and rescue him. He must still be alive!"

He didn't return to Shaluo County to rescue Professor Bai because he realized the special forces couldn't harm the supernatural entity; going back would only mean certain death.

But now, with Zheng Sheng and his group of extraordinary individuals, maybe it's possible.

Zheng Sheng frowned; he had no intention of saving Professor Bai.

How can you be sure he's still alive?

"I'm sure! Someone like him couldn't possibly die so easily. He's definitely still somewhere in Shaluo County!"

Zheng Sheng looked at Li Yong, who had a determined expression, and said nothing.

In the end, he didn't give him a reply, but instead gave an ambiguous answer.

"We'll see. If I happen to run into someone, I'll help them out."

"If he doesn't meet her, then he can only blame his bad luck."

The city is full of strange things, and he hasn't even figured out what's going on in Shaluo County yet. There's absolutely no way he'd take any risks because of some stranger, Professor Bai.

After all, the most important thing in this world is that you live!

If he dies, what's the point of this world existing?

The team advanced for another half a day.

The unchanging roads around us suddenly began to change.

The thick fog along the highway began to thin, plants started to appear on both sides of the road, and the sounds of animals and insects could be heard from time to time. In the distance, one could even see vast rice paddies and canals.

The whole world seemed to come alive.

Everyone looked up at the distance again.

In the mist, a human city could be seen looming, like a giant black beast crouching in the clouds.

"Shaluo County, that's Shaluo County ahead."

"Why is the city so quiet? It's completely different from when we escaped."

"Look at all these cars on the roadside, why are they all empty?"

Where did everyone go?

The entire group stopped in their tracks, and the crowd began to murmur amongst themselves. A sense of fear and unease began to spread through the ranks.

A few abandoned cars can be seen sporadically on the road, but there are no people or bodies inside. Some cars even have large holes in them, as if they have been eaten by some kind of giant beast.

Zheng Sheng looked up.

The traffic light ahead has a sign with a large poster on it that reads:

The hometown of snails, famous throughout the world;

I miss you so much in Shaluo!
