I run a food city in the last days

Jiang Yiyin was sitting in the middle of the room near the door. Looking out the window, he could see patches of gray snow as big as a palm in the air. He couldn't even see what was happening half a meter away.

She now knew why there were six wind powers in the two cars, and they were responsible for clearing the way for the cars.

The strong wind forcefully blew away the gray snow, exposing the space in front of the car.

The wind power users were sitting in the car and were not in direct contact with Gray Snow, but their power consumption also increased sharply.

Fortunately, there was enough food to restore their strength, and six people worked in shifts to maintain a visible line of sight in front of the vehicle.

But despite this, the speed of the two cars still cannot be increased, but no one complained. Safety is most important at this time.

She couldn't help at the moment, so she stayed in her seat obediently until she heard the system prompt.

Call up the background and take a look. The new task is hanging there:

You discovered that there is a secret in the Confederate Army's arsenal. What is it? Find it and complete the reward: blue diamond*10. Failure penalty: The level of a random store in the food city will be -1, and the corresponding level authority will be lost.

She narrowed her eyes: "I didn't notice it, but you obviously found it. What's the secret? Can't you just tell me?"

The system remains silent.

She curled her lips and said this. She had already guessed the difficulty of this task. The reward was meager, which meant it was not difficult.

Followed by a penalty, generally speaking, this indicates that the system hopes that she must complete this task.

But this punishment content is a bit innocuous. After all, it does not say that the store level cannot be upgraded after it drops. At most, it will only cost one more crystal core.

The emergence of this mission made her more curious about the Southern Army. Since it was still early on the road, she took the initiative to talk to Commander Zhang and asked about the army.

Captain Zhang looked nostalgic: "Before the apocalypse broke out, our Southern Army was the one with the strongest combat effectiveness and the most advanced equipment among the four major corps. Therefore, after the apocalypse broke out, our team was also the fastest to respond and was dispersed to almost the entire southern province. , I don’t know how many people have been saved.”

"What happened next?" she asked curiously.

"Later... Alas," Captain Zhang sighed, "The mutated creatures were very rampant at that time. It was becoming more and more difficult for ordinary weapons to deal with them, and communications were also cut off. There was no other way, so the scattered teams had to station themselves on the spot. , who would have thought... that there would be such terrible weather changes after the mutated creatures..."

He fell into memories and told how his team worked hard to save more people's lives when the first cold winter suddenly came.

But the soldiers are also made of flesh and blood. No one expected that the scorching summer would turn into an extremely cold winter. There were no cotton-padded clothes in the supplies. They still had to rescue people, patrol, and fight...

The casualty rate reached an unprecedented number. They managed to survive the first wave of cold snap, but were attacked by mutant animals that were also stunned by the cold and wanted to accumulate fat.

"...After repelling that attack, there were only four people left in our company including me... Later we established the Wutong Base. Two of them died soon because of old brain injuries that were difficult to recover from, and another one also died later. ...I also completely lost contact with other teams, and so many years have passed..." Captain Zhang blinked hard, holding back the tears that came up, and did not continue.

But everyone understood what he meant.

After so many years, I don’t know how many comrades are still alive.

A heavy atmosphere enveloped the car. After a long time, Jiang Yiyin slowly said, "So you haven't gone back to the armory at the station?"

"Actually, someone from the organization went back, but the station was occupied by a large number of mutated creatures. That time we failed to break through to the armory," Captain Zhang said in a heavy tone, "After the danger level there was determined to be level B, in order to For everyone’s safety, the base will no longer organize teams to go there.”

Zhou Yixuan answered: "But there are also some people with superpowers who are going there on their own. According to the information they provided, there should be a mutated creature above level five over there, so the base will not encourage everyone to go there in the future."

Level 5... Her heart tightened, and some not-so-good memories came to her mind.

creak-

The vehicle suddenly braked suddenly, and everyone moved forward due to inertia, but they quickly stabilized and looked towards the front of the vehicle.

All he could see was the gray snow that had been artificially blown away, and a faint black figure stood in front of him.

"What is that..." someone murmured.

But at this moment, the black shadow was still very blurry, and no one could tell what it was.

The two cars discussed it and opened a little distance. Their car took the lead and slowly approached the black shadow.

Finally, the black shadow showed its true face, and Captain Zhang was extremely shocked: "When did an extra mountain appear here?"

Everyone looked up and saw that the hill covered with gray snow was about fifty meters high. The bottom was wide and thick, but the upward slope was very steep. It was obvious that vehicles could not climb over it.

They had only one option, which was to go around the base of the mountain.

After deciding on the route, everyone didn't waste any time and immediately turned right along the foot of the mountain.

I don't know if it was caused by the movement while walking, but suddenly a piece of snow fell down on the cliff.

Fortunately, the wind power user noticed it in time, and a strong wind blew out, scattering nearly a hundred square meters of snow in time.

"Wait, what is that?"

She saw the scene above through the gap where the wind blew.

The wind power user once again stirred up strong winds, allowing everyone to see more clearly.

The newly fallen snow revealed a small part of the mountain's true appearance. The mountain walls were actually dark red, and there were dense caves.

"This is not a naturally formed mountain..." she murmured, "it looks like, it looks like..."

Gu Huaiting answered: "It's like an enlarged version of an ant nest."

Everyone was surprised.

He added: "I'll give it a try."

As he raised his hands, the foot of the mountain was suddenly surrounded by a bright ring of flames.

The flame tongue happily licked the gray snow, and a large amount of gray water slid down the terrain, and quickly refrozen into ice after touching the snow on the ground.

The foot of the mountain is gradually revealed, and the densely packed cave entrances make people feel numb.

This is really an ant hill. Due to the close location at the foot of the hill, they can even see the big yellow-brown ants at the entrance of the cave.

It's really a "big" ant, at least as long as an adult's arm, and its ferocious head looks very penetrating.

But now they are all huddled motionless in their nests. Not only are they frozen to death, but they have also mutated and developed the habit of hibernating.

"This ant hill is too close to the base." Captain Zhang suddenly said, "We cannot let it develop, otherwise when spring comes, they will soon spread to the vicinity of the base."

He looked at everyone: "For the safety of the base, this ant hill must be eliminated."

Gu Huaiting suddenly said: "I'm afraid it's not this one, but..."
