Early the next morning, the Phantom team members woke up before dawn. To keep their physiques fit, they went out to clear the zombies in the surrounding area and ran for an hour before returning to take a bath.
Since they were men, they had no problem bathing together. So, Zhang Yuan built simple mud walls as partitions while Xiao Qi took out a massive metal basin from his space. Chen Qianfeng filled up the basin with water before Shen Jinzhe heated it.
While the members were bathing, Jiao Lizhi went into her space and cooked a simple breakfast. After she was done, she gave a handful of crystals, five apples, and five grilled fish to Fu Guai.
She didn’t stay behind to check on him and left the space. Not long after, the members finished bathing and returned to the warehouse.
Today’s breakfast was two pots of chicken noodles, a tray of omelets, and a pot of milk.
The moment the members saw the breakfast, they glanced at their captain, wondering when he and his fiancée had restocked the milk. While they were curious, they didn’t ask and focused on eating.
After they finished eating, the sun began to rise on the eastern horizon. Checking his watch, Jin Xuyan said, "Today, we will use the military choppers and go directly to the capital."
"Understood," the members replied in unison.
When they finished packing up, Jiao Lizhi took out a military helicopter and everyone boarded the vehicle. The helicopter they used was a light utility type that could carry ten to twenty people. At this moment, their team had a total of eighteen members, so they could fit into one helicopter.
Thirty minutes later, the sound of the helicopter’s propeller echoed through the area as they left the military base.
From the helicopter’s window, Jiao Lizhi could see the situation below clearly. Most of the roads were filled with zombies, and only a few groups of people could be seen searching for supplies from time to time.
As the helicopter flew past, the sound attracted the zombies. But before they could react, the helicopter had already gone far, so the zombies returned to their listless, stiff walking.
While the zombies didn’t show much reaction, the survivors who were hiding inside buildings or out searching for supplies tried their best to attract the attention of the people inside the helicopter.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard they tried, the Phantom team had no intention of bringing extra people with them. Not to mention that they were going to a dangerous area, it was impossible for them to let strangers join.
With a clear sky, they finally saw the capital city after one and a half hours of flight.
The moment they flew above the capital’s border, Qin Luzi said, "Captain, the number of zombies is more than we expected. The situation seems more dangerous than the information we received from Captain Xun."
Hearing this, Jin Xuyan checked the situation below and thought for a moment before saying, "Let’s go check the military bases first."
Zhang Yuan nodded and said, "Okay."
Half an hour later, they reached the military base located on the border. Unlike the military base in Pingjiang City, the situation in this base was like hell.
The base was filled with zombies, and several areas were destroyed, with traces of intense battles visible everywhere.
"Old Qin, are there any survivors inside?" Jin Xuyan asked.
Qin Luzi checked the area for a while before shaking his head. "Captain, there are no survivors."
