The male supporting character was actually myself.

A thorough investigation revealed that a night shift worker at the water plant had delivered water to relevant departments in the fifth district that night. It is believed that he was in contact with someone carrying the zombie virus in the incubation period. After returning to the water plant, he mutated and bit his colleague on duty. When the colleague resisted and fought back, he fell into the reservoir.

"Inspect all recently produced bottled water to see if it's contaminated," the base commander quickly ordered. "If the water source is contaminated, the base will have to be temporarily abandoned."

Immediately contact the Beijing base to transfer all research laboratory personnel and research results.

All helicopters from the base were dispatched to prioritize the evacuation of researchers, women, and children.

Inventory supplies as quickly as possible and prepare to notify residents to evacuate.

The military is very efficient.

Around noon, the base issued a notice stating that the water source had been contaminated and the base needed to be temporarily sealed off.

All residents can receive a resource pack containing food and water.

You can choose to move with the main force. The army will do its best to protect everyone's safety and find a suitable location to rebuild the base.

You can choose to stay or leave, but those who stay should be aware that all water sources may be contaminated.

After all, the Fifth District had just experienced a major battle, and the blood and grime had flowed into the sewers. If heavy rain caused backflow, all areas would be at risk of infection.

The loudspeaker kept broadcasting various information; the base was in chaos, but all the teams collecting supplies were proceeding normally.

Despite all his efforts, Chu Han could only watch helplessly as the helicopter carrying his long-desired experimental samples and all the researchers flew further and further away and disappeared into the horizon.

“Sun Yu and Zhang Mingze have been escorted to the Beijing base. The incident happened so suddenly that we only had time for a brief farewell. We don’t know if we’ll ever see them again.” The female doctor, Zhao Meihua, shaded her eyes with her hand as she gazed at the helicopter disappearing into the horizon. Then she sighed, “Although we didn’t spend much time together, we were friends who had gone through thick and thin together.”

They've gone to the Beijing base, so they should be safe now.

Du Rui, what are you planning to do?

I've discussed it with Xiao Jiang, and we'll go south with him.

The Beijing base is too far away, and the route passes through major cities, making it too dangerous.

Without a plane, it would be very difficult to get there.

Du Rui, holding her baby, looked worried. "Judging from what the main force says, they won't head towards Beijing. Instead, they'll find another suitable place to build a base."

The problem is there are too many people!

After the incident in District 5, the population dropped sharply, and there are still at least 70,000 to 80,000 people to be taken care of. The army has a limited number of troops and it is impossible to take care of them all.

or……"

She looked at her husband with a questioning gaze.

The round-faced chef, Guo Quanyi, took the child and remained silent for a moment before finally making up his mind: "Let's go with Jiang Chen."

"Yay!" The chubby boy jumped up excitedly. "It's so great that we're all still together!"

Gong Feibai remained expressionless, but his tone was very gentle, "Once we reach the T26 base, we can settle down."

"From a straight-line distance perspective, the Beijing base is closer, but it's too difficult; in comparison, although the T26 base is farther, as long as we don't go to big cities and provoke zombies along the way, there shouldn't be too much danger." Tang Xueli held a map, drew some circles and dots on it, and analyzed it carefully.

With a command from the base commander, the military camp in Zone 1 was completely sealed off.

Specialized teams led the way, escorting a large number of survivors to other cities in search of new clean water sources.

"Sigh, what a safe base, it's been destroyed." The little white cat, perched on its host's shoulder, looked at the high wall left behind in the rearview mirror and couldn't help but sigh.

Tens of thousands of people are about to begin their lives as fugitives again.

Chapter Fourteen: Unexpected Situations

"boom!"

A gunshot rang out, and the zombies that had been leisurely wandering in the distance heard the sound and rushed over frantically.

Tang Xueli gripped the gun, her right arm numb from the recoil. Seeing that she had missed the zombie and had only attracted it, she hurriedly shouted, "Feibai, drive faster!"

"Don't be nervous." Jiang Chen couldn't help but chuckle, then put his arm around her from behind, took her slightly cool hands in his, and whispered in her ear, "When you hold the gun, keep your hand steady and don't let it shake."

Aim, like this…

He controlled the gun in the other person's hand, steadily aiming at the zombie's rotting head, and pulled the trigger.

"boom!"

The zombies fell to the ground immediately after the gunshot.

The gun he held remained steady, with barely any vibration.

"Take your time, no rush. Practice first to get a feel for the game."

A warm breath spread around my ear, and a gentle voice touched my heart.

Tang Xueli was held in his arms, his hands clasped, and the unique scent of his man enveloped her, giving her a strong sense of security.

Once again, her hands were held and she aimed at a zombie, which was then killed with a single shot. She couldn't help but turn her head slightly to look at the other person's fair face.

Feeling the warm breath on his cheek, Jiang Chen tilted his head slightly to look at the person in his arms.

Their eyes met, and the distance between them was less than one centimeter.

"Cock!"

The car must have run over something, because it shook violently.

Jiang Chen remained seated; Tang Xueli, however, swayed slightly, and her soft lips unexpectedly pressed against the other's face.

"Damn it!" the chubby boy cursed from the passenger seat. "Feibai, watch where you're going! Are you tired? How about I take over driving... umm..."

After being slapped onto the car dashboard by Gong Feibai, the chubby boy struggled a couple of times and then lay down without making a sound.

Jiang Chen remained unfazed, lightly kissed her cheek, and continued the shooting instruction.

After resting at noon, the little fat man was sent to another car by Gong Feibai to hold the child.

Fatty: ∑('△｀)？ !

The surname Gong sounds fierce, I'm a little scared...

"Host, the script is finished!" The little white cat, who was curled up and fast asleep by the air conditioner vent, suddenly jumped up and started flipping through the script with a rustling sound.

Then, glancing at the two still cuddling, it couldn't help but grin, "It's the apocalypse, and I still have to be fed dog food every day! Can't you be serious? There are zombies everywhere outside!"

The new storyline removed scenes featuring the tiger general Gong Feibai and the chubby Liang Yong, presumably because Jiang Chen rescued them beforehand, thus changing their fates. They were no longer mentioned in the story.

But the main theme remains unchanged.

After escaping from the M City base amidst the chaos, he recruited a top general from a secluded mountain village. He then slayed zombies along the way, leaving behind a trail of dashing figures and various exhilarating adventures before arriving at the T26 base. Before the base completely fell, he took away valuable samples and data from the laboratory, as well as a large amount of weapons, food, water, and other resources.

When the base fell, Chu Han awakened his potential and lightning-based superpowers in order to escape, and "encountered" and saved two loyal "future warriors".

Meanwhile, the jade pendant was discovered by the Cheng family army dispatched from the capital base, who risked their lives to escort it to the capital base.

There, Chu Han, along with three valiant generals, shone brightly in a fierce battle against the zombie king, gaining fame in one fell swoop. With the Cheng family's resources poured in, he eventually grew into the head of the Cheng family and the heir to the capital base.

He developed vaccines to benefit all mankind; his valiant generals fought valiantly, routing the zombie army and establishing Chu Han's legendary fame.

"That's absolutely outrageous!" The little white fluffy ball spat with its hands on its hips. "The Cheng family clearly has six direct descendants and a thriving collateral line, but in order to promote the protagonist to the top, they deliberately prevented a single superhuman from awakening in the entire Cheng family!"

Chu Han's return has made him the Cheng family's only hope. Ha, truly worthy of the protagonist's halo!

There were other people in the car, and Jiang Chen just smiled and didn't reply.

Let Tang Xueli practice shooting on her own. He looked at Gong Feibai's cold face as he drove seriously in the rearview mirror and asked, "Feibai, if you had the chance to awaken a powerful superpower to fight and kill and achieve a lifetime of fame, but you would have to part with your parents and go far away with your close brother, would you be willing?"

"I don't want to." Gong Feibai replied without thinking, "I used to be a real jerk, and I caused my parents a lot of worry."

It wasn't until after the apocalypse that I understood some things clearly: nothing is more important than going back to my parents and being with them.

As for superpowers...

I also want to awaken my powers, but I want to be able to be with my family better.

In this damn world, I don't care about any lifelong reputation.

Who would want to fight and kill when they could live a peaceful life?

Jiang Chen pondered, "But if you take that path, you might find your current ordinary life boring and not want to live that kind of life."

"How could that be?" Gong Feibai smiled, a rare occurrence. "I just want to get back to my parents as soon as possible and spend time with them..."

Before he could finish speaking, his face suddenly turned pale, and he slammed on the brakes, collapsing onto the steering wheel, sobbing and gasping for breath.

"Feibai!" The car, which had been forcibly stopped, drifted and spun around more than half a circle on the highway before finally coming to a stop. Jiang Chen had already reacted and jumped into the passenger seat to help him up.

Tang Xueli was startled and hurriedly opened the car door, waving to the car following behind, "Dr. Zhao, come quickly and see what's wrong with Feibai!"

The car in front stopped suddenly, and the car behind almost crashed into it. Fortunately, Guo Quanyi reacted quickly and managed to stop the car on the side of the road to avoid a collision.

Zhao Meihua hurriedly got out of the car.

The veins on Gong Feibai's neck were bulging, and he was convulsing, looking like he was in great pain.

"I've never seen anything like this before." The female doctor touched him and found that his heart was beating very fast, but his body was fluctuating between hot and cold.

When it's cold, it feels cool to the touch; when it's hot, it's frighteningly hot.

Jiang Chen's expression turned serious. Could it be that because he forcibly changed his fate, the script was going to kill him off directly?

"Could he have been bitten by a zombie?" The chubby boy rummaged through Gong Feibai's clothes, trying to see if he had any wounds.

But Gong Feibai, who was struggling to stay upright, slapped his hand away, saying, "I wasn't bitten! Don't touch me!"

Zhao Meihua observed him closely for a moment, then stood up and shook her head, saying, "The situation is unclear, so I dare not give him any medicine casually. It seems that his life is not in danger for the time being. Let's find a safe place to set up camp first, and I will stay by his side and keep an eye on the situation."

Jiang Chen took out a motorhome from his spatial storage, settled Gong Feibai in, and then drove the car while Tang Xueli, armed with a gun, accompanied Dr. Zhao to keep watch.

After this period of practice, Tang Xueli's marksmanship, while not quite accurate, is now above standard.

Moreover, she has a steady, bold, and meticulous personality, and can quickly bring the situation under control should any special circumstances arise.

While RVs are convenient, their large size makes them less convenient than family cars, so Jiang Chen had to temporarily abandon his previous travel route and slow down his journey.

Around noon that day, the group had just finished lunch and were preparing to rest for a while before setting off.

A sudden commotion broke out in the town below the wide highway. The chaotic gunfire, car roars, and zombie howls immediately alerted Jiang Chen and his companions.

"Right, right!"

"Damn it! Throw the car away!"

"Boss, run! We'll hold them off!"
