Chapter 126 Approaching the New City
However, after witnessing this giant zombie, Su Yang became even more curious about the human civilization on this planet.
Given the existence of such enormous zombies, does it mean that other types of zombies might also exist?
However, what Su Yang was most concerned about was the reason for the death of the humans on this planet.
That's why they developed such exaggerated killing machines.
According to Su Yang.
Those giant zombies have already transcended the category of carbon-based life forms; at most, they can only be called mechanical products.
The off-road vehicle drove across the empty plain.
The wheels rolled over the ground, raising clouds of dust.
The few ordinary zombies that occasionally appeared were simply run over by the off-road vehicle.
It turned into a lump of mud.
After driving for more than an hour, the group finally caught a glimpse of the city's outermost edge.
"We're almost there!"
Han Bei's tone was filled with barely concealed excitement, his eyes fixed on the faintly visible city buildings in the distance.
"Functional buildings".
Su Yang saw the towering circular building in the distance, which seemed to reach into the clouds.
His pupils suddenly contracted sharply.
Those circular buildings are generally considered to be representative of industrial cities around the world.
This also means that the direction they have been heading in is not wrong.
Perhaps upon entering this city.
They can find information about the industrial technology of this civilization.
"Everyone, speed up!"
Guo Yong glanced out the window; the sky was now covered with dark clouds, clearly indicating that a heavy downpour was imminent.
Han Bei couldn't help but roll down the car window slightly, and immediately the howling cold wind outside rushed in through that tiny gap.
Seeing this, Han Bei silently closed the car window again.
Hearing Guo Yong's words, he noticed it was a bit dark outside and thought he'd roll down the window to take a look.
Unexpectedly, the wind outside the car was so strong.
Just as Guo Yong had predicted.
A few minutes later, a thunderbolt struck.
A torrential downpour began outside the car, with large raindrops pounding against the windows and sliding down.
Under the dark, overcast sky, a very loud clap of thunder could be heard every now and then.
The off-road vehicle drove across the plain, illuminated by the reflection of falling thunder.
Like a long snake, it continued to rush forward.
Listening to the raindrops hitting the car window and the constant clap of thunder outside, Guo Yong couldn't help but frown.
The thunderstorm seemed to be hinting at something.
When the vehicle was only ten miles away from the city, Guo Yong ordered it to stop there.
Thunderclaps outside the car continued to fall in the distance, bursting into dazzling light.
"Aren't we going to get struck by lightning if we stay here?"
Looking at the thunderbolt that struck not far from them, Han Bei couldn't help but swallow hard.
"Don't worry, these off-road vehicles are specially made so that they are not very likely to be struck by lightning even in thunderstorms."
Su Yang smiled and began to speak, but before he could finish, he had already said something.
Then I felt the car shake, and a dazzling white light flashed in through the window.
Upon witnessing this scene.
Su Yang's face darkened.
You idiot, you just finished speaking, couldn't you wait a while before coming back?
He chopped right after he finished speaking.
Do you have any humanity left?
Even if Han Bei was slow to react, he already knew what had just happened.
Their SUV was struck by lightning.
Fortunately, nothing serious happened. Just as Su Yang said, these cars had all been modified.
Getting struck by lightning once or twice is not a big problem.
As long as it's not a continuous high-intensity current, it's fine.
Seeing Han Bei staring at him, Su Yang couldn't help but chuckle awkwardly, "Don't look at me like that. Once is already a very high probability. What ordinary person would get struck by lightning a second time?"
Su Yang had barely finished speaking.
A bolt of lightning struck their off-road vehicle once again.
Seeing this, Su Yang's face darkened even more.
"Dr. Su, you're not a jerk, are you?"
Upon seeing this, Han Bei couldn't help but speak quietly.
"You're such a jerk! I told you, trust science!"
Su Yang's voice, filled with gritted teeth, could be heard.
I'm only twenty-eight, and I've barely even held a girl's hand a few times. Who could I possibly cheat on?
Moreover, I spend all my time in the lab, so I hardly ever see a female mosquito, let alone hold hands with someone.
"Alright."
Han Bei raised an eyebrow. Judging from Su Yang's appearance, he didn't seem like the type of playboy.
The two times just now were probably just coincidences.
After all, he had been browsing videos online and came across one from an American, about a tough guy who had been struck by lightning several times in a row.
Even with such a small probability, it can happen.
The fact that they were just struck by lightning was probably just a coincidence.
The teasing remarks Han Bei made to Su Yang were just him joking around.
Just as Han Bei was about to lie down on the chair, a thunderbolt struck the ground to their left again, by sheer coincidence.
The distance between us was less than a meter.
Now.
Everyone in the car looked at Su Yang with a hint of something unreadable in their eyes.
Seeing this, Su Yang could only sigh.
I'm too lazy to explain any further.
After all, the probability of almost being struck by lightning three times in a row is even lower than the probability of winning a hundred million in the lottery.
He didn't believe it either.
In the time it takes for lightning to strike their car, there's still a chance that lightning could hit them.
On the other side, Guo Yong, who was parked not far away, looked at the SUV where Su Yang and the others were staying and was shocked by what he saw.
He also looked shocked.
Zhu Haotian and the others also looked at the SUV with surprise.
All their cars were parked nearby.
But those mines seemed to have GPS tracking, always landing in the direction of that SUV.
At first glance.
It was as if someone was constantly throwing flashbangs at that SUV; the dazzling white light barely stopped for long.
Such a bizarre scene inevitably surprised everyone present.
"Captain Guo, Dr. Su, are they really okay being struck by lightning like this?"
Yang Bowen's voice came through the walkie-talkie, and Guo Yong could even clearly hear the other person swallowing.
"It should be fine, the cars are all specially modified."
Guo Yong responded, "These thunderstorms usually come and go quickly. I estimate the downpour will stop soon."
Just as Guo Yong had predicted.
The torrential rain, accompanied by lightning, lasted for only a little over half an hour before abruptly stopping.
As the rain gradually subsided, the previously overcast sky began to show slivers of sunlight.
Everything changed in less than two minutes.
The rain has stopped and the sky is clear.
The warm sunlight shone on the wet earth, as if the torrential rain just now was an illusion.
"Let's go. Destination: an unknown city ahead."
Guo Yong's somber voice came through the walkie-talkie.
Immediately, more than a dozen SUVs sped towards that unfamiliar yet massive city.
