Calamity Island: Endless Trials

Chapter 179 The Approaching Crisis

Soon, the two returned to the monitoring room. They looked around and found a group of people who were silent and silent. Only Tang Jiumin was sitting at the table, writing something with a pen.

Liu Ziyun leaned over.

At the waterworks, the tiny robot was destroyed, so all they got was the last video left by the robot.

What Tang Jiumin is doing now is studying this video.After magnifying the video twenty times, he discovered many details that he hadn't noticed before.

As the brain of the team, Tang Jiumin could be said to be engrossed at this moment. Even Liu Ziyun didn't pay attention when he came over.

Of course, Liu Ziyun didn't affect the other party either. He looked at the pictures above and found that there was a lake-like existence in the middle.

Looking at it from a distance from the image, it is actually blood red!
"Is this a blood-red lake?" Seeing this existence, Liu Ziyun's eyes shook violently, and finally he couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter?"

"I don't know." Tang Jiumin replied, "But the lake looks weird at first glance. I think it should have something to do with those mutated sparrows."

"Have you noticed that the mutated sparrow only hovers and attacks within a certain range, but never leaves this range."

Liu Ziyun was slightly taken aback, "You mean..."

"I think there is an existence among them like a zombie mastermind that can control the flight trajectory and attack range of the mutated sparrow. This is the black hand behind the waterworks."

"You're right. I thought so too. Are there any other questions?"

Liu Ziyun nodded. In his opinion, Tang Jiumin, a riddler, must have seen a lot of problems when he said this.

Unexpectedly, he saw Tang Jiumin shaking his head.

"No more, it's just that I found a very strange logic problem."

"What logic question?"

"Under normal circumstances, if I am the one who controls the mutated sparrows, I can completely let the mutated sparrows move around. With their power, even zombies are ignored. Why do I stay here all the time?"

"And... even if there are foreign enemies entering the vicinity of the water plant, I will not attack them so quickly, because it is too obvious, like telling other people that there is an anomaly here."

"It's so weird that there's no need to be in such a high tension state all the time."

"You said, why is this?"

"I said?" Liu Ziyun pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't understand, if you enter the attack range, you should attack, shouldn't you?"

"It should be." Tang Jiumin glanced at Liu Ziyun, "But it's too hasty, as if if you slow down a little, something unexpected will happen."

"Remember that muscular zombie?"

"Although the mutated sparrow killed the ordinary zombie first, more mutated sparrows pounced on the muscular zombie with ten times and a hundred times the number. They didn't give the opponent any room to play and killed it directly."

"They're afraid of..."

"I'm afraid that those zombies will come into contact with the things in the waterworks. Now it seems that it should be this bloody lake."

Liu Ziyun was silent for a moment, then asked again, "What's so special about this lake?"

"You ask me, I don't know, because I don't have any data to judge what happened in the lake." Tang Jiumin shrugged.

Isn't that the same as saying nothing?Liu Ziyun was a little disappointed when he heard the words.

"But." But at this moment, he heard Tang Jiumin change the subject: "Think about it, there is only one possibility to make zombies give up devouring humans. The lake is related to the evolution and mutation of zombies."

"Let me make a bold guess. Maybe the mastermind behind the waterworks evolved and mutated because of the lake. It's hard to say."

Liu Ziyun glanced at Tang Jiumin, his assumption was probably true.

He rubbed the space between his brows, and said slowly: "Anyway, the robot is gone now... You should understand that with just a few of us, we might end up like those zombies before we get in."

"We don't have to take the risk, understand?"

Liu Ziyun's attitude was very clear.

At this time, Tang Jiumin didn't care about Liu Ziyun's statement at all. He rubbed his chin and spoke while thinking.

"I calculated carefully, and with only a few of us, the success rate of entering the waterworks is less than [-]%."

"Indeed, if you enter rashly, you will definitely take a lot of risks. As you said, I don't need to rush in and risk my life for this [-]% chance. It's not worth it at all."

Hearing this, Liu Ziyun breathed a sigh of relief.

Great……

It's good that Tang Jiumin doesn't plan to take risks.

No wait!

Liu Ziyun suddenly sensed something was wrong, and he looked at Tang Jiumin with some doubts.

The other party just said that he has a [-]% certainty of entering the water plant. The question is, where does he get the [-]% certainty?

What a joke!
He opened his mouth slightly, wanting to ask.

But at this moment, there was a deafening roar outside.At the same time, E Sihui in the monitoring room immediately looked at the monitoring screen.

I saw a convoy of jeeps, vans, and several private cars, a total of seven or eight vehicles, heading towards the food processing factory!

There is a situation!
E Sihui immediately reported the situation to Tang Jiumin.

In less than half a minute, under the leadership of Tang Jiumin, everyone came to the door, took out their weapons one by one, and looked outside vigilantly.

After a while, the convoy got closer and closer. They stopped at the entrance of the food warehouse, and a group of people came down from above.

Both sides saw that the other side had guns in their hands, so they raised their weapons at the same time and confronted each other.

Unlike Tang Jiumin and the others who were merely vigilant, the other party seemed particularly excited.

"In the factory! Put down your weapons and don't move!"

"Friend, are you kidding me?" Tang Jiumin laughed when he heard the other party's first words. "You point your guns at us, and you have to let us put down our guns?"

The group of people on the opposite side looked at each other, then at Tang Jiumin and the others.

In terms of numbers, they have seven or eight vehicles and twenty to thirty people, far exceeding those guarding the food warehouse.But the problem is that they also have weapons, and no one wants the bullet to hit themselves.

Hearing what Tang Jiumin said, the leader immediately stood up and motioned for the guns beside him to lower their muzzles.

"We have no other intentions. We just came here to find food. This is a food warehouse and a processing factory. We should be able to find a lot of food."

"There is a lot of food here, we can't take much away, there is no need for everyone to conflict."

Looking for food?
Tang Jiumin's eyes flickered slightly: "Okay, we will make a way for you to go in, but unfortunately, there is no food in this factory."

The survivors looked in disbelief.

But Tang Jiumin said again: "When you go in and look around, you can go to the logistics distribution department to have a look. The day before the virus broke out, the food here was transferred to other cities overnight."

His words sparked a violent reaction from a group of survivors.

"What did he say? No food?"

"Impossible... Is he lying, Nuoda is a food processing factory, how could there be no food at all?"

"Go in and have a look!"

"..."

Regardless of what the other party thought, Tang Jiumin led someone out of the way, and then raised his hand to signal the group of survivors to enter.

The survivors were skeptical, they entered vigilantly, because there were so many people, they quickly checked all the warehouses inside.

There really isn't any food.

"what happened!"

"I read it, and it's exactly as that person said, the food here was transported away overnight the day before yesterday!"

"Hold!"

"Bitch!"

Tang Jiumin watched the group of people walk out of the warehouse cursing, and took advantage of this opportunity to get close to the leader of the convoy. He was an old man with a white beard who looked half a century old.

"Hey, what the hell happened? You guys are from the city? How's the situation?"

"Alison Bava." The leader sighed.

"I'm the curator of a shooting club. These people are our members there, and the few next to me are all special police officers from the same shelter."

"Hey... I thought we could hide in the shelter with peace of mind, but at night, the monster suddenly broke out, and it was a mutant monster that was more terrifying than yesterday!"

"The Shelter has been defeated..."

"We were surrounded by mutated zombies, and it took a lot of effort to get out."

When Whitebeard said this, he couldn't control his emotions, and slammed the front cover of the car hard, "And! The escape is too hasty, and we don't have food in the car."

"It seems that we can only try to break through that wall and stay away from this hell."

On the side, Tang Jiumin's eyes flashed when he heard the other party mention the fence.

But in the next second, he shrugged his shoulders and said in a very regretful tone, "We have already seen that there is martial law there, and everyone in this city is not allowed to go out."

"what?"

"You're telling the truth?!"

When Baibeard heard this, he saw Tang Jiumin nod his head affirmatively, and he immediately showed a very disappointed expression.

"Damn..."

"But even so, we still have to give it a try. After all, it's much safer to be close to the wall than inside the city. You don't know the current situation in the city, it's hell!"

The white-bearded old man mentioned the situation in the city, with a rather terrified expression on his face.

However, before he could describe it carefully, several other cars came out from different directions.

"I didn't find any food here."

"We don't have any here either. We only found a few snacks left in the duty room. Damn, it's not even enough for two people to eat."

The old man with white beard looked at Tang Jiumin.

This food is really not enough.

But... something is better than nothing.

"That……"

"Since there are, I'll give them to you. We don't need these foods." Tang Jiumin shrugged and said, seeing through the white-bearded old man's thoughts at a glance.

"Great! Thank you, thank you so much!" The old man with white beard heard this, and thanked Tang Jiumin for his generosity.

After all, in this case, everyone understands the importance of food.Therefore, the white-bearded old man was somewhat guilty, and he even took the initiative to invite this nice young man.

"The side of the wall is always safer than these places, do you want to go there together?"

"No." Tang Jiumin shook his head, "We've already been there, it doesn't make much sense, and I personally think it's more dangerous there."

Hearing Tang Jiumin's answer, the old man with white beard didn't take it seriously, and stared into Tang Jiumin's eyes angrily.

"No matter what, the army will definitely not give up on us, and there is no other way now. That is the only chance."

As a result, the old man with the white beard found that Tang Jiumin's eyes were particularly determined, without any wavering.

"All right!"

"Everyone has different ideas. You are a pretty good person. I wish you a smooth life in this crisis!"

"Goodbye by fate!"

With that said, the white-bearded old man and Tang Jiumin greeted again and waved to the convoy behind.

In the next second, the convoy lined up and drove out of the food factory.

Behind Tang Jiumin, everyone breathed a sigh of relief seeing the group of survivors leave.

The previous incident at the central bank was a lesson, being in a place with survivors, they were very nervous.

Well now, the crisis is over.

But at this time, Tang Jiumin frowned and stared at the direction of the city.

Because from the words of the survivors, he could tell that those zombies were even more violent.Once the zombie army rushes out of the city, can just a food factory withstand the zombie attack?

The answer is obvious.

No.

On the other hand, Liu Ziyun looked at the receding figure of the convoy and thought about what the old man with the white beard said, so he walked up to Tang Jiumin and asked.

"what should we do?"

"There is definitely no way out over the wall, where are you going to take us?"

At the gate of the food factory, a group of people looked at Tang Jiumin nervously, waiting for his answer.

Brief silence.

At this moment, Liu Ziyun felt something was wrong.

Because Tang Jiumin was rarely silent, and the other party's eyes... had been staring in the direction of the city.

So, Liu Ziyun tentatively said, "How about finding a safer shelter? The place we are staying at now is definitely not good."

"I've seen the map. There are some places nearby that may have underground facilities. Why don't we hide underground?"

Liu Ziyun asked several questions in a row, but Tang Jiumin didn't answer, but kept staring in the direction of the city without turning his head.

He didn't even look at Liu Ziyun.

This made Liu Ziyun's complexion more and more serious, and the feeling of uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger.

Something is wrong!
Tang Jiumin, could he be thinking...

Suddenly, Liu Ziyun's expression changed, and he strode forward, directly blocking Tang Jiumin.

"What are you thinking? Don't you want to take advantage of those zombies leaving the city to go to the waterworks now? Are you crazy..."

Before Liu Ziyun finished speaking, Tang Jiumin laughed and nodded decisively, "Yes, you guessed it right, I just want to take this opportunity to go to the waterworks."

"If I changed to before, I still couldn't make up my mind, but now it's different. This time, our success rate is at least 80.00%!"

Liu Ziyun shook his head heavily, "You are really a lunatic..."

"What I heard is not an 80.00% success rate, but a 20.00% group fatality rate! I probably understand what you think. But you have to know that once you fail there, you will die!"
