Chapter 289 Arrival at the Transfer Station
Song Chen smiled helplessly and shook his head.
He understood that the reason why everyone chased after the zombies was that they didn't want them to hinder them, but this behavior was too dangerous.
Chasing after the zombies in an environment without cars and many buildings was a very suicidal behavior.
If it weren't for the little girl's mental control, the zombies would have been out of control by now, and would definitely turn around and attack them. At that time, they couldn't get rid of them or hide, and could only be surrounded by the zombies.
If they couldn't break out, they would only wait for death.
Thinking of this, Song Chen quickly flashed in front of them and stopped them from continuing to chase.
"I'm here!"
Seeing Song Chen suddenly appear in front of them, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Brother Chen!"
"Are you okay?"
"No problem." Song Chen shook his head, "It's too dangerous here, it's not advisable to stay for long, let's go back to the unfinished building."
Seeing Song Chen return safely, everyone would certainly not continue to take risks to chase the zombies, and immediately followed Song Chen back to the unfinished building.
It was not until they returned to the building that their tense nerves relaxed a little.
"Brother Chen, did you kill that high-level zombie?" Chang Minghao asked, looking at the head in Song Chen's hand.
At this time, the others noticed that Song Chen was holding a zombie head that looked like a little girl.
"Is this the guy who commanded those zombies to attack us?" Lu Peng looked curious.
When they stopped the zombies just now, Chang Minghao had explained everything to them, and they finally understood why they were attacked by zombies in the afternoon and evening, just because there were high-level zombies behind the zombies commanding them.
Originally, Lu Peng was still wondering if they were unlucky!
"It's her."
Song Chen nodded, then took out a dagger, covered the blade with a layer of space force, and inserted it into the head. After stirring it twice, he picked out a translucent crystal core as big as a small egg.
"Damn?!" Lu Peng said in surprise, "This is the first time I've seen such a large crystal core! What level is it?"
Level six? Level seven?
Lu Peng didn't know.
He had killed hundreds of zombies, if not thousands. He had seen countless crystal cores, but this was the first time he had seen such a big one.
"This is a level eight spiritual crystal core." Song Chen answered truthfully.
"Level eight?!"
Not only Lu Peng, but everyone else was also shocked.
Where had they seen a level eight zombie?
Not to mention seeing it, they couldn't even imagine how strong a level eight zombie would be. No wonder they could command so many ordinary zombies. If it weren't for Song Chen, they would have been in great danger this time.
Song Chen washed the crystal core and put it into the space.
It happened that Ji Lu had just broken through to level five not long ago. If he brought this level eight spiritual crystal core back to her, maybe she could surpass Ji Yumo and others and break through to level six first.
At that time, he could strengthen the level five crystal cores he had stored.
After observing the zombies outside and looking up at the sky, Song Chen turned to look at everyone.
"While it's still early, let's take a break, recover our abilities, and adjust our condition. We'll set off immediately when it's daybreak."
The zombies haven't made any special moves yet. Everyone has been fighting the zombies for so long and is already tired. In addition, it was dark, so Song Chen didn't risk looking for a new resting spot, and simply rested at the original location.
However, to be on the safe side, he didn't continue to sleep, but stayed awake to observe the condition of the zombies, and by the way, he dug out the crystal cores in the heads of the zombies he had just killed.
...
The night passed smoothly.
When it was just dawn in the morning, everyone had packed up all their equipment and bags, and drove off again to the transfer station.
They were delayed on the road for a long time, and if they hurry up, they should be able to reach the transfer station before dark.
Song Chen almost didn't sleep all night, and fell asleep not long after getting in the car.
With Lan Ya guarding the car, he was not very worried, and if there was an unexpected situation, Lan Ya would wake him up immediately.
Song Chen slept until the noon break, and then he felt that his spirit had finally recovered.
The main reason is that fighting against the eighth-level zombies is too exhausting.
Especially since the other party has awakened a mental ability.
Although Song Chen used his ability to protect his brain and was immune to mental control, this kind of battle is still very exhausting in the face of the absolute suppression of mental power.
"Everyone has been tired for a long time, let's eat something good at noon today."
Said, Song Chen took out the food that had been stored in the space in advance.
The food ordered from the restaurant had been eaten long ago, and now these meals were prepared by Ji Lu in advance.
A folding table was placed in the middle, and Song Chen placed the food on the table one by one, and then distributed a small stool to each person.
Although they were on the road, they certainly couldn't forget to enjoy themselves while on the road.
Let's not talk about anything else, let's just have ten dishes and one soup.
After resting, everyone continued on their way.
Fortunately, they didn't encounter the scene of being surrounded by zombies, let alone any high-level zombies, and they arrived at the transfer station smoothly before dark.
"Who is it?!"
As soon as the car arrived at the transfer station, the duty team at the door stopped Song Chen and others.
He Chengji stuck his head out of the car window and looked at the people at the door with a smile.
"We are back!"
"Old He?"
The other party and He Chengji were obviously old acquaintances. When he saw He Chengji, he immediately showed a hearty smile.
"You are very fast!" The other party looked at He Chengji, then looked at Song Chen in the car and the cars behind him, "It seems that you have found reinforcements. You have worked hard on the road. Come in quickly!"
After saying that, the other party hurriedly opened the door of the transfer station.
"Thank you, Xiao Zhang!"
He Chengji drove into the transfer station, and the car behind followed closely.
What came into view was a spacious cement yard with many fitness equipment and weapons such as knives, guns, sticks and clubs placed in the middle. It seemed that the members of the transfer station usually trained here. Further in was a whole row of buildings with iron bars on the windows.
"If I remember correctly, this should have been the North City Prison before?"
Hearing Song Chen's words, He Chengji nodded.
"Yes, this was the North City Prison before the apocalypse. After the apocalypse, the prison guards and prisoners inside either escaped or turned into zombies. Later, the base wanted to build a transit station here in North City, so they cleaned this place and modified it."
Song Chen understood.
Indeed, it is a very good idea to use the prison to modify the base.
Due to the special nature of the prison, the defense construction itself is very strict, and it is just right to use it as a base.
However, it is precisely because of the special nature of the prison that it is not easy to completely clean its interior, which is much more difficult than He Chengji's understated retelling.
After parking the car in the parking lot, a man in his thirties stood in front of the car waiting for them as soon as everyone got off the car.
"You have worked hard on the road."
He patted He Chengji and Lu Peng on the shoulders, with a maturity and vicissitudes on his face that did not match his age, and then turned to look at Song Chen and others standing next to him.
"I guess these people are the people from the Dawn Base?"
