Chapter 04: Escape

I am going to get some food and water, would you like to come with me or not

What he mentioned was a building that stood thirty-three stories high, located just outside the entrance of the airport lobby. As the three of them were about to look for a vehicle to facilitate their escape after exiting the entrance, they encountered another attack from the green-haired cats. Consequently, they fled to that building—because the lights inside were still on, giving them a glimmer of hope. However, when they reached the entrance of the building, those green-haired cats surprisingly did not dare to approach; they only dared to roar a couple of threats from a distance, and then, as if afraid of something, they fled.

The remaining staff expressed their gratitude and then began to recount their experiences.

Action is far more important than mere thought now

The only one who was beaming with joy inside was Zhou Qi

A strong sense of threat compelled Liang Zuo to shout, "Run!"

After listening to Zhou Qi's account, Zhou Qi's girlfriend couldn't help but whisper

Yes. They called out a few times and then ran away

The chief attendant wanted to say something, but ultimately did not speak it out.

The captain coldly looked at him and said, "I will say it again, there is no rescue in the short term"

Put this on. It can help to fend off a bit

However, under his teasing, his girlfriend managed to calm down.

Zhou Qi shook his head: "You go ahead, I will go find some clothes. If Poseidon is using the sea breeze for transmission, then it can also be done through rainwater. Being able to prevent them from directly contacting the skin is also a measure."

Liang hesitated for a moment, but still voiced his unease: "Indeed, the green-haired cat attacked the mouse in the surveillance video. However, do you remember that we smeared ourselves with mouse droppings? I also saw the same droppings in the control room where the mouse had been before. Their intention to attack the mouse does not preclude them from attacking us. Right now, we are even more vulnerable than the mouse..."

It is now December, and the north is the safest place, as well as one of the few areas that has not been attacked. Another option is to relocate towards the position of the Himalayan snow mountains, which is also extremely cold and relatively safe

Did they not attack when you came over

The two individuals waited for half a minute, and finally, the previous staff member returned. However, this time only two people came back.

These would usually be good seasonings for Liang Zuo's daily meals

That is not the case. We found a place where the infected animals do not dare to go, which is relatively safe

He smiled wryly: "There are only three left... This item is capable of insulation, has excellent flexibility, and the material does not appear to be plastic; it is made of a special material. Even if you wear something thicker underneath, not even those green-haired cats and mice can bite through it."

Could it be that those animals truly possess intelligence and have given birth to leaders

It is time for us to leave

That person braced themselves: "Who knows what the situation is over there? Why not stay here, find some rooms to hide in, and wait for rescue"

After entering the convenience store, Liang Zuo organized the items in his bag. He left behind five power banks, ensuring that he would have enough power for ten days. Then he took several dozen packs of dry bread, tore open a box of Snickers, and stuffed as many of these high-calorie foods as possible into his bag. Finally, he added a lightweight wool blanket for warmth, two large bottles of purified water, and a medical kit. Returning to the entrance, Zhou Qi picked up three full-coverage transparent raincoats, which appeared to be of excellent quality.

Liang Zuo glanced at the captain and a few others behind him

Little monk, you are impressive. Do you know martial arts

The captain nodded slightly: "Are you implying that my colleagues risked their lives just to give you a false message? Is that what you mean?"

The new strategic measure is to relocate to extremely cold and extremely hot areas that are unsuitable for Poseidon

I do not know

Liang Zuo glanced at the somewhat disheveled staff members

Colleagues nodded, and Liang Zuo grabbed his arm and handed him his transparent protective suit

Zhou Qi touched the transparent protective suit he had been wearing for a long time and asked, "So what exactly is going on with them?"

The two individuals cut the previously set trap at the entrance with pliers, while Zhou Qi also took a wooden stick from the table for self-defense

The two individuals began to busy themselves without the need for further words

Nodding slightly, Liang Zuo showed him his harvest

The leaders are the captain and the chief flight attendant

The other party shook their head: "Perhaps it was attracted by something else. We waited for about ten minutes to confirm that they were not over there before coming back."

Zhou Qi remained slumped in a heap, sitting in the chair with vacant eyes

The captain is a tall and sturdy man, probably in his thirties. Upon entering, he glanced around and said, "It seems we have indeed encountered a serious problem... Alright, everyone, let's go to that building to take shelter."

However, when confronted with issues of survival, these take on a sinister quality

The only way now is to save ourselves. The chief attendant will take you there first, while I and a few colleagues will gather some food and drinking water, and we will follow shortly after.

Zhou Qi also speculated, "Perhaps they have gone to catch those big rats. Didn't we see this here before? Cats catch mice, crows eat cats; it is probably a relationship like that"

He made a decisive decision

Then we are doomed...

Zhou Qi also became slightly more alert and nodded his head

The three individuals quickly reached a consensus to return and guide the passengers and colleagues to come here for temporary refuge. One of the staff members had sprained their ankle and was unable to move easily, so they stayed behind to enter the building first

They had known about the situation on the ground while still in the airplane, but they were unable to contact the ground crew, and all external communications had failed. The aircraft had run out of fuel, which is why the captain made the decisive choice to make an emergency landing. After landing, they rushed directly to a location with a backup communication system, which was equipped with a satellite phone and a special aviation communication system, nearly on par with military standards. On the satellite phone, they spoke with a certain major, who briefly explained the current perilous situation.

Even when the captain spoke to this extent, there were still some who did not trust him, choosing to form small teams to find rooms to hide in. The remaining individuals quickly moved towards their destination.

Liang Zuo had no choice but to give him two slaps in the past, in order to awaken this person from his weakness

He put the protective suit he found on his girlfriend and then joked, "Don't you like watching horror movies? This real-life version is much more interesting, right?"

Liang Zuo took a deep breath and said, "Regardless of anything else, let us first head to that building."

He... entered that building. A person said to a colleague, "You go bring the passengers over first, I will explain to them here"

"I am not a monk..." Liang Zuo was both angry and amused, as he took off his hat to reveal his short hair: "Do you see it?"

Tonight, the creatures infected by Poseidon began to attack various cities. Their numbers are immense, and their destructive power is astonishing, making nighttime rescue and defense extremely difficult. Consequently, the military has formulated a strategic retreat plan, relinquishing several cities to first evacuate the citizens, with the intention of launching a counterattack the following day. However, it was unexpected that abnormalities also occurred in the ocean, as a mutated species of amphibious creatures resembling catfish began to land. They are in vast numbers and emit a gas that can paralyze living organisms, quickly overwhelming the coastal areas. Both the inland and coastal regions are facing devastating encirclement and bombardment, with communication and energy systems suffering significant damage.

Several people began to cry because of this statement

It is because I have had more experiences outdoors, having encountered danger a few times, and those who have gone through similar experiences as I have.

Then the satellite communication was interrupted

However, no matter how one puts it, this is rather too fast. According to the history of biological evolution, whether it is the emergence of intelligence or a significant enhancement of survival capabilities, these are not things that can be achieved overnight. Yet, it seems that all these matters have been compressed into a mere month. What exactly is the Poseidon virus? What is that giant, and where does it come from? What does that spear represent?

The girlfriend angrily pinched his arm, causing Zhou Qi to grimace and wink at Liang Zuo.

Zhou Qi said with some difficulty

The other party nodded slightly and quickly ran outside

What about the other person

Someone inside raised a question: "What if it is not like that over there? Or what if those monsters are just waiting there?"

His words caused both of them to have somewhat tense expressions

Are you saying that when we reached the front of that building, the green-haired cat stopped attacking

Zhou Qi asked

However, Zhou Qi also added: "Liang Zuo is not very old, but he understands quite a lot."

Soon, the people on the plane came rushing over in a grand manner, resembling a herd of migrating wild horses. Upon reaching the entrance, each one of them was gasping for breath, as many modern humans do not engage in daily exercise consistently, with some even opting to drive downstairs just to buy a pack of cigarettes. Naturally, this leads to a decline in physical fitness. Furthermore, many individuals were dressed in inappropriate attire for physical activity, such as leather shoes and high heels, making it even more strenuous to run.

The response given by the major was that we will dispatch rescue personnel as soon as possible, and you should find a safe place to hide

Zhou Qi began to recount the experiences he and the other person had shared, as well as the video footage from the control room, to the staff member who was at a loss.

They stayed and stopped by the sofa, while three people were moving the sofa aside
