Lin Hai laughed, trying to break the depressing atmosphere.

He stood up, walked to Shao Guang with big strides, slapped him hard on the shoulder, and said cheerfully:

"Xiao Shao, don't be so unconfident! So what if the road is long and dangerous? As long as we work together, there is nothing we can't handle."

His eyes were firm and confident, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, revealing a row of white teeth.

Sun Qi also nodded, leaned forward, came over to join in the conversation, and looked at Shao Guang intently:

"That's right, Haizi is right. If we unite, follow the captain's command, and adapt to circumstances, we will definitely succeed."

His tone was firm and his right hand unconsciously clenched into a fist and waved in the air as if to cheer himself up.

Qin Zimo took a deep breath and said slowly:

"Yes, we have been through so many difficulties, and this time will definitely be no exception."

His expression was serious and calm, his hands were crossed on his chest, and his eyes were calm.

Chai Yutong encouraged everyone with a smile, her smile was as warm as the spring sun:

"Don't be too nervous, we have to believe in our own abilities. When we go to City B this time, there may be new opportunities waiting for us. Maybe we can find more resources for the base and open up new living space."

Her voice was soft and pleasant, making people feel inexplicably comforted.

Everyone talked one after another, and gradually, the worry in their eyes faded, replaced by determination and fearlessness, as if they all saw that victory was not far ahead.

Only Zhou Mei sat in the corner silently, feeling depressed.

She was filled with sorrow about her impending separation from Li Jian, and the fact that this mission was likely to be dangerous made her feel heavy in her heart, and she couldn't cheer up no matter what.

Chai Yutong seemed to notice something strange about Zhou Mei.

While everyone was not paying attention, she quietly pulled Zhou Mei aside and asked softly:

"Amei, what's wrong with you?" Her eyes were full of concern.

Zhou Mei's body stiffened slightly, then she forced a smile and responded:

"nothing."

But her eyes unconsciously drifted away into the distance, and her fingers subconsciously tugged at the corner of her clothes.

Chai Yutong carefully observed Zhou Mei's expression, and saw the depressed mood behind her pretending to be calm. She guessed something in her heart, so she asked:

"Is it because of Li Jian? What are you going to do?"

Zhou Mei was slightly startled, then said casually:

"No big deal, just let it be. In this world, there's no time to think too much."

Her voice was slightly hoarse and she tried hard to force a smile.

Chai Yutong looked at Zhou Mei's expression carefully, and saw the sadness beneath her forced calmness, so she obediently stopped asking questions and just gently held Zhou Mei's hand, as if this could give her some strength and comfort.

In fact, it is normal for Zhou Mei to be so sad.

This separation was not like the short separation between ordinary lovers, but meant that she and Li Jian were about to start a long-distance relationship.

Moreover, there is no end in sight for this long-distance relationship, and I don’t know when we will be able to meet again.

In the days to come, they will both live in anxiety and longing. How can she not be worried?

You know, long-distance relationships in this special period are very different from those in the heyday.

In prosperous times, even if lovers are far apart, they can chat at any time and share every detail of each other's lives thanks to convenient communications.

But now, the communication has been cut off. Once Zhou Mei and Li Jian separate, they will be far apart and the connection between them will become extremely fragile.

Once one party is in danger, the other party may not know about it until a long time later, or may even be kept in the dark forever.

This deep feeling of powerlessness and endless uncertainty, like a thick haze, weighed heavily on Zhou Mei's heart.

However, she was very clear about the importance and danger of this mission and must not let her personal emotions drag down the entire team.

She had no choice but to bury this burning emotion deep in her heart, and with longing and concern for Li Jian, she resolutely embarked on this journey full of unknowns.

.........

As the departure date draws closer, the members of the Fiery Team begin to sort out the assets they have painstakingly accumulated over the past year at the Jinling base.

These belongings are the lifeblood of their fight to survive in the apocalypse, and each one carries countless memories and the sweat of hard work.

Now, they are about to be re-sorted and arranged. Some of them will be carefully selected to accompany the team members to City B, where they will be of great use in escort missions and various dangers that may be encountered in the future; the other part will be handed over intact to the Jinling Base officials to add an insurance for the future development of the base.

The warehouse was crammed with things, but they were arranged in an orderly manner.

A gun that was a bit old but still in good condition was leaning against the wall. Under the light, the metallic luster exuded a cold and hard aura.

The boxes of corresponding ammunition are neatly stacked next to them, which is the guarantee of their firepower output in battle.

Various types of cold weapons were piled up in the corner. The blades of the long swords were still sharp, and the hilts of the daggers still bore traces of the team members' hands.

The dagger flashed coldly in the dark, and the iron rod also had marks of wear and tear from use. Each cold weapon recorded every detail of the team members' battle.

Several sets of protective equipment that looked a bit old were lying there quietly. Although they had experienced many life-and-death tests and were covered with scratches and wear, they were still indispensable to the team members on the dangerous battlefield.

In addition, emergency medical supplies, food and water are placed in special places. These are the basis for them to survive and fight in the doomsday.

The team members all knew that their future in City B was uncertain. They might not be able to come back, or they might have to stay there forever.

But no matter what, they all secretly vowed in their hearts that they must protect the future of the Jinling base.

At the same time, in the experimental center of the scientific research area of ​​Jinling Base.

Several researchers are concentrating on the final testing and packaging of the zombie virus reagents.

Under the light, a white-haired old scientist is particularly eye-catching.

He wore a pair of reading glasses that seemed to be quite old on his nose. His eyes behind the lenses were staring at the data that kept jumping on the instrument like a hawk. His eyes were full of concentration and solemnity, as if the whole world was only left with the data before his eyes.

He kept muttering to himself:

"We must ensure that everything is foolproof. This test kit may very well affect the future of all mankind."
