"Northern Xinjiang is still waiting for me to go back and handle matters," she said as she poured tea for Zhang Chen, "I heard that the new ranch over there has already taken shape."

Zhang Chen nodded approvingly: "You have really grown up now."

"It was all the hardship we endured in the northern border," Xu Wan's eyes flashed with a trace of reminiscence, "The leader knows what the wind and sand there can do to a person."

Zhang Chen was silent. He had sent her to the northern border because he believed Wang Yan's words. He had never expected that this would make her successful.

"It's time for the leaders of each camp to leave," Xu Wan stood up and straightened her clothes, "It's time for me to go back too."

"Will you stay a few more days?"

Xu Wan shook her head: "There is still a lot to do in the Northern Frontier. Besides..." She looked at Zhang Chen meaningfully, "I want to give the leader a surprise."

Before leaving, the other female members of the family were reluctant to say goodbye, but Xu Wan was the only one who looked calm.

"Miss Xu," someone joked, "Are you willing to leave the leader?"

Xu Wan smiled: "If you want the leader to remember you, being gentle and kind is not enough."

She mounted her horse, her red skirt fluttering. “I will come to see the leader again after I build the northern border better.”

Zhang Chen stood on the city wall, watching Xu Wan's back gradually walking away.

Chapter 695 He, he has mutated!

This girl who was once spoiled and willful has now learned how to bide her time and take every step carefully.

"Chief," Wang Yan came to his side without him noticing, "what are you thinking about?"

Zhang Chen did not answer, but looked towards the north thoughtfully.

Xu Wan rode her horse at a rapid speed, already thinking about her next plan.

She wants to build Northern Xinjiang into the most powerful logistics base in the apocalypse, making sure everyone is dependent on her supplies.

"Just wait," she vowed secretly, "I will definitely use my strength to impress you."

In the snow, a red figure gradually disappeared into the sky. She did not take away any promises, but she took away her full determination.

This reunion is not the end, but a new starting point. She wants to prove with her strength that she is worthy of standing beside him.

In the camp, Zhang Chen found himself looking forward to the good news from the northern border. What kind of surprise could that transformed woman bring him?

This game has just begun.

On the third day after Xu Wan left, good news came from the northern border. The new ranch she developed not only successfully domesticated a group of zombies to do hard labor, but also found a special herb that could double the milk production of livestock.

"What an amazing woman," Zhang Chen looked at the report with a slight smile on his face.

Wang Yan brought flower tea at the right time: "Chief, you think highly of Xu Wan."

"She is indeed capable," Zhang Chen took a sip of tea, "compared to some people who are only good at scheming..."

Wang Yan's heart trembled, but she still kept smiling: "I know I was wrong. If I hadn't slandered you..."

"Let's not talk about the past," Zhang Chen waved his hand, "Xu Wan is now a blessing in disguise."

In the camp, there was more and more talk about Xu Wan.

"I heard that she doesn't even rest in the northern Xinjiang," someone said, "She even goes to check on the ranch in person in such a cold weather."

"That's right," another one said, "It's just to give the leader a surprise."

"That's what we call sincerity! Unlike some people who just act like a spoiled brat in front of the leader all day long."

Mu Qing listened to these discussions and felt secretly happy. Her good sister finally made it.

In the northern border, Xu Wan was leading people to clean up the newly developed area.

"Miss," the man advised, "you should rest."

Xu Wan wiped the sweat off her face and said, "No hurry. I want to strike while the iron is hot and plan out this piece of land."

She knew that Zhang Chen valued ability the most. As long as she could manage Beijiang well, he would naturally look at her differently.

"Wait for me," she looked towards the south, "I will be able to give you a big surprise soon."

It was late at night, Zhang Chen was lying in bed, but Xu Wan's beautiful face kept appearing in his mind.

The little girl who used to only peek at him has now grown into a woman who can stand on her own.

"Interesting," he murmured to himself, "It's getting more and more interesting."

Wang Yan stood in front of the window, looking at the sky in the north. She knew that her position was being shaken.

"Xu Wan, Xu Wan," she said softly, "You have finally learned to speak with strength."

But she was not panicked. In this apocalypse, what the leader needed was a capable helper, not a favorite.

However, the little girl who was plotted against by her has now grown into a rival worthy of attention.

This silent battle has just begun.

In the snowstorm in the northern border, Xu Wan is planning a bigger blueprint. She wants to prove with her strength that she is more than just a woman who can please others.

She wanted Zhang Chen to know that the impulsive and willful little girl had grown into someone who could stand on equal footing with him.

This is what she really wants.

Heavy rains in the south caused the river to swell. With a loud bang, the dam collapsed and muddy floodwaters rushed into the camp with mud and sand.

"Run!" someone shouted.

But it was too late. The flood broke through the wall, and the zombies that were originally blocked outside swarmed in. The rotting bodies floated in the water, emitting a disgusting stench.

"Help!" A woman ran to higher ground while holding her child, but was knocked down by a zombie. The sound of flesh being torn apart mixed with the child's cries was soon drowned out by the sound of rain.

In the granary in the south area, a dozen survivors were trapped on the top floor.

"Don't come over!" A young man waved an iron rod, but the zombies felt no pain at all.

The rotten arms reached out and grabbed his legs. "Ah!" He was dragged into the crowd with a shrill scream.

"Oh my God..." Someone covered his mouth and watched his companions being eaten.

Blood mixed with rainwater flowed on the ground.

The textile factory in the east district became a living hell. Zombies broke through the glass and climbed into the workshop. The female workers fled in all directions in front of the looms.

"Xiaohong! Xiaohong!" An old woman frantically shouted her daughter's name, but she only saw her being pinned to the ground by three zombies, with blood splattered on the white cloth.

In the hospital in the west district, the patients were unable to escape. The zombies swarmed into the ward, biting the weak bodies. Screams and cries were heard one after another.

"Don't come over... please..." A seriously ill patient looked helplessly at the approaching group of zombies, tears mixed with blood flowing down.

In the shelter in the North District, mothers tried their best to protect their children. But in the face of the zombie tide, flesh and blood were so fragile.

"Mom!" a little girl screamed, watching her mother being torn to pieces. She hid in the corner, trembling, but there was nowhere to escape.

The rain was still falling, and the flood was still rising. The screams in the camp gradually faded, replaced by the sound of zombies tearing flesh.

Mutilated bodies floated on the water, some were still twitching, some were already cold.

And even more people didn't even leave a complete body.

This disaster will be forever engraved in the nightmares of the survivors.

And those who did not survive remained forever in this bloody rainy night with fear and despair.

The plague followed like a shadow, spreading quietly after the flood.

All the major camps in the south fell into panic.

Inside the East District Shelter, an infected person fell in a corner, twitching all over.

His skin began to fester and gave off a foul odor.

Suddenly, he opened his bloodshot eyes and opened his mouth, revealing his blackened teeth.

"He, he has mutated!" someone screamed.

But it was too late. The newly born zombie pounced on the nearest living person and ripped her throat. Blood spurted and dyed the walls red. The others tried to escape, but found the door locked.

"Open the door! Please open the door!" A shrill cry for help came from the shelter, but the guards outside had already fled without a trace.

The virus spread fastest in hospitals in the West District.

"Doctor Li! What's wrong with you?" The nurse saw her colleague suddenly kneel down on the ground.

Doctor Li raised his head, his eyes had already started to turn yellow: "Run...Run faster..."

Before he finished speaking, he rushed to the injured person on the bed. Blood splattered, staining the white sheets red. The nurse screamed and ran out, but saw several newly born zombies wandering in the corridor.

Chapter 696 Are we...going to die...

The residential areas in the southern district were in even greater chaos.

A mother held her feverish child and cried desperately: "Don't... please don't become like that..."

But the child's temperature kept rising, and his skin started to turn black. Suddenly, the child opened his mouth and bit his mother's arm.

"Ah!" The mother let go of her hand with a shrill scream. The child fell to the ground, completely mutated, and began to bite the mother's calf.

In the granary in the northern district, more than a dozen infected people were locked together. They were shivering, their skin was festering, and the whites of their eyes were starting to turn yellow.

"Kill...Kill us..." someone said with difficulty, "Don't let us become like that..."

But no one dared to approach. They could only watch their companions mutate one by one, and then bite each other. Blood and flesh flew everywhere, and screams continued.

The streets were littered with corpses of the infected. Some were still twitching, while others had already begun to rot. The living hid in closed rooms, blocking the cracks in the doors with cloth strips, fearing that the smell of the plague would seep in.

A little girl hid in the closet, watching her father mutate and bite her mother. She dared not make a sound, tears flowing silently.

Even the zombies began to mutate. They moved faster, had greater strength, and had a more frenzied desire for flesh and blood.

"Ah!" A man who tried to escape was pinned down by three zombies.

They tore open his abdomen and his intestines spilled out onto the floor.

The man was still screaming, but he watched his internal organs being eaten.

This plague, like a big net, covered every corner of the south.

There are fewer and fewer living people, but the number of zombies is increasing.

The air was filled with the smell of death and decay, accompanied by screams that sounded from time to time, forming a picture of doomsday hell.

The entire South fell into a dead silence, plague and zombies took away most of the lives. The survivors fled everywhere, but could not escape the disaster.

The hospital morgue was already full of bodies, and the rotting bodies piled up in the corridor, emitting a sickening odor.

"Quick! Seal the door to area B!" a survivor shouted.

But with a loud bang, the iron door was knocked open.

Hordes of zombies poured in, their eyes glowing in the darkness.

"No...don't!" An injured woman dragged her legs back, but was grabbed by her ankle.

"Save me!" As she screamed, a zombie tore open her back, revealing her white spine. Blood splattered, staining the wall red.

In the shelter, a boy huddled in a corner, looking at the wound on his arm that was turning black.

"I'm sorry...Mom..." He raised a knife with tears in his eyes, "I don't want to become a monster..."

The blade slashed, blood splattered everywhere. But it was too late, the virus had spread throughout his body. His eyes began to turn yellow, his skin ulcerated, and he finally threw himself at his mother who was hiding outside the door.

In the granary, a group of infected people were locked together.

"It hurts so much..." A young woman groaned in pain, holding her head, "My brain... is going to explode..."

Suddenly, her eyeballs burst and black liquid flowed down her cheeks.

She pounced on the person next to her frantically, opened her mouth covered with black mucus, and bit off the other person's throat with one bite.

The streets were littered with broken limbs.

Some newly born zombies are more brutal than ordinary zombies. They not only bite living people, but also spare no one else.

An old man who tried to hide was discovered.

Three zombies pinned him to the ground, one tore open his chest, one gnawed at his thigh, and another reached into his abdominal cavity and pulled out his still-beating internal organs.

"Why...why is it like this..." the old man muttered to himself in his dying moments, and then he was torn into pieces.
