Awooo, there are little zombies today too.

Chapter 143 Arriving at Jianning Clothing Wholesale Market

Ji Yanli looked at the snowflakes falling outside the car window, and he answered before Lin Yucheng.

"It's not far, but it's not close either. It's a little difficult to drive because it's covered in snow. It will take about six hours to get there. If we leave now, plus we have to search for supplies, we probably won't be back until tomorrow morning."

Ji Yanli's words hit Yu Qingyin like a bolt from the blue. If it were tomorrow morning, it would be too late for her to complete the two tasks.

Yu Qingyin pressed on, "Can I take on two tasks at the same time?"

Lin Yucheng's answer was like ice water poured over his head: "It's unlikely, because there are only so many missions. If we accept two at the same time, the others will have no missions to accept, and they will not be able to receive supplies. Therefore, the base stipulates that each team can only accept one mission."

Yu Qingyin's hope was dashed again, and her eyes darkened. She had to find a way to complete today's task as soon as possible and rush back today so that she could take on tomorrow's task.

Looking at her empty mind, she couldn't help but curse.

Damn system! Seeing that she had been so smooth before, they deliberately made things difficult for her.

While a few people were chatting, they were already some distance away from the base. It was all white outside, as if a layer of white blanket was covering the earth.

The jeep moved with difficulty on the snow, and it took only an hour to travel 50 kilometers, which was as slow as a snail compared to the distance they had traveled before.

When they arrived in Jianning, it was already completely dark. Snowflakes were still falling heavily. The traces of their car tracks were quickly covered by new snowflakes, leaving no trace at all.

The mall buildings here are in an arc shape, with the central square as the center and spreading out one after another.

Gu Qingyuan parked the car in the square. The headlights shone on the snow, reflecting a dazzling light. Looking up, against the backdrop of snowflakes, he saw exquisite clothes hanging in the window, as if waiting for their owners.

As soon as a few people got off the car, they were hit by the cold air, which made them shiver. Their noses turned red instantly. The cold wind lifted the corners of their clothes, making them tremble even when they spoke.

"Hiss, it's so cold~"

As Lin Yuqing spoke, white mist came out of her mouth.

As soon as Yu Qingyin got off the car, she had an extra pendant on her body: Lin Yuqing's arm.

Lin Yucheng rubbed his face, but his mouth was restless.

"My body isn't cold anymore, but my face is. I feel like I can't make any expressions anymore. Boss, can you ask the base to do some research on masks?" The words trembled several times, sounding a little funny.

As Lin Yucheng complained, everyone walked into the nearby shopping mall.

Closing the door blocked out the biting cold wind and it felt a little warmer.

The mall was quiet, with no lights and pitch black, as if a giant beast from the abyss had opened its bloody mouth, waiting for its food to fall into its trap.

"Why is it so dark here..."

Yu Qingyin felt the hand holding her wrist tighten a little, and she patted Lin Yuqing's hand soothingly.

Yu Qingyin suggested: "Let's split up and act faster." There was a hint of urgency in her voice. She needed time, and every minute and every second was crucial.

Ji Yanli nodded in agreement: "It's dangerous here, so let's form a group of three and keep in touch via intercom at any time. Qingyin, Lin Yuqing and I will form a group, and Qingyuan, Yucheng, and Yunyun will form a group. Qingyin, Lin Yuqing, I will be in charge of floors 4 to 6, and you will be in charge of floors 1 to 3."

Gu Qingyuan answered before Lin Yucheng, "Okay, Boss, you guys go up first."

Yu Qingyin took out a flashlight, and a beam of light instantly illuminated the entire floor.

Lin Yuqing said excitedly: "Is this the kind of thing you saw online where you turn on a flashlight and chickens crow when they see it?"

Yu Qingyin gave one to Lin Yucheng and the other two, took one for herself, and went up to the third floor along the out-of-service stairs in the center of the mall.

When they passed by a clothing store, they waved their hands and put all the clothes into the space. When they passed by a milk tea shop, they did not miss any and put all the clothes into the space.

He stayed in each shop for less than a minute, then waved his hand and put all the machines away.

The journey was unusually quiet, with no signs of zombies.

Lin Yuqing felt very nervous and they had unknowingly reached the fifth floor.

Lin Yuqing finally couldn't help but speak.

"Qingyin, Boss, do you feel that something is wrong here? Even if the cold wave has arrived, it is impossible that there is no trace of zombies. It is too normal, which is a bit abnormal. Just like what happened in Changhua Village before, is there a mental zombie here as well?"

Yu Qingyin comforted Lin Yuqing without stopping her movements.

"What you said makes sense, but since we are here, we should make the best of it. If he doesn't show up now, we won't be able to find him. We might as well take all the things in while he's not causing trouble."

Ji Yanli echoed and comforted him, "Qingyin does have a point."

Lin Yuqing said nothing more after hearing this. She held Yu Qingyin's arm tightly and observed the situation around her.

They continued to move, and before they knew it, they had stored all the products on the fifth floor, including the machines, into the space.

They went up the stairs to the sixth floor.

As soon as they reached the sixth floor, they suddenly felt an invisible air pressure on them, and cold sweat slid down Lin Yuqing's cheeks.

She felt as if she was carrying a huge rock on her back, which made it difficult for her to stand steadily. If it weren't for Yu Qingyin supporting her, she would have fallen to her knees on the ground because she couldn't bear it.

"The zombies on this floor are quite powerful." Yu Qingyin supported Lin Yuqing and sighed with a wry smile.

He is really deliberately going against her. How can he complete the task properly?

"Indeed, but I don't know where it is hidden?" Ji Yanli echoed.

Yu Qingyin supported Lin Yuqing and kept collecting supplies with her hands. Ji Yanli was not willing to be left behind. In the blink of an eye, all the things in the two shops were collected by them.

Just when they wanted to open the next milk tea shop, the door of the milk tea shop seemed to be blocked by an invisible force, and no matter how hard they tried, they could not push it open.

The three of them exchanged glances and decisively changed stores.

But the same strange phenomenon occurred in every subsequent store, and they had to go back to the stairs.

"Since we can't push it open, let's go down." There was a hint of helplessness in Yu Qingyin's voice, but more of determination.

There's no need to waste time and provoke the monster inside just for a few supplies.

Lin Yuqing wiped the sweat from her forehead and nodded, agreeing to Yu Qingyin's proposal. They both looked at Ji Yanli.

Ji Yanli thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, let's go down."

The three of them made their decision, and just as they were about to turn around, they felt an invisible barrier separating them from the stairs.
