The Chef Rules the Last Days-Chapter 659 - 657: The End

Time was running out, and she could already hear the zombies’ howls coming from not far away.

Su Mo squinted her eyes and exchanged a glance with Lu Chen.

"Done!"

The person pressed the control key and, full of hope, turned his head to say, "It will blow up in five minutes, we can get out..."

Before he could finish his sentence "get out," a thin line of blood appeared on his neck, and the blood splattered over the control panel.

Lu Chen glanced at the countdown timer on the console and said to Su Mo, "Let’s go!"

The two of them did not linger, quickly calling out to their companions who were still fighting around them to start retreating swiftly.

There were still many survivors inside the control room; none of them were deaf. They all could hear the sounds of the zombies howling through the corridor.

Su Mo and the others were running at the front, with Jianxiong shouting, "We’ll climb up through the elevator shaft!"

Using the stairs would take too much time; climbing directly from the elevator entrance would save them a lot of time.

Jianxiong had already destroyed the elevator entrance on the third floor, creating a big hole. Su Mo pressed her palm against the wall inside the elevator shaft and started to climb up swiftly.

Having superpowers, she climbed very quickly, successfully escaping from the negative first floor, where there were helicopters and cars parked everywhere.

Without a word, Su Mo and Lu Chen ran while storing these items in their System Bag and Space.

Coming out of the safety passage not far from them were some remaining special forces and scientists, followed by the zombies with malfunctioning neck collars.

Some of them bit the necks of the humans fleeing in front of them, while others ripped off an entire thigh of a special forces soldier with their sharp claws, creating a bloody scene.

With these people behind, those running at the very front like Su Mo and the others were the safest.

Of course, Su Mo wouldn’t give them a chance to escape.

The way to the ground floor was neither a safe passage nor an elevator, but a set of ascending steps at the end.

Jianxiong took the lead, one hand carrying Li He and the other forcefully smashing open the door to the surface. After everyone had escaped one after another, Lu Chen quickly formed an ice wall over the broken entrance.

If they were going to kill, they had to do it thoroughly.

Eradicate them all.

An ice wall formed by a level 7 superpower user was too strong for those trapped below to break through. The monsters’ howls and humans’ screams filtered through the ice wall, with bright red blood splattering all over the walls.

Lu Chen increased the output of his superpower, sealing the entrance to the underground tightly to ensure the monsters couldn’t come out for the time being, before he moved back.

They were now in a laboratory building amidst a heavy snowfall.

Su Mo and Lu Chen had come directly from the subway. Now she observed the surrounding structures, the upper floor had already been nearly destroyed by Li Qian and the others; only some scattered documents remained.

She picked them up to have a look and then put them down again.

Jianxiong sat on the ground, gasping for air, "How did it go, is it taken care of?"

Su Mo nodded, "It’s taken care of. The laboratory was mainly researching zombie modification. Other aspects weren’t that advanced."

Eliminating the last threat turned out to be unexpectedly simple, but Su Mo thought it was because of her strength. What used to be complex issues had become much easier due to the continuous growth of her system and superpowers.

"Let’s leave here as soon as possible and go rescue those poor people trapped underground."

Su Mo took out Jasmine Tea and distributed it to everyone. After eating a little, the group got back into their armored vehicle and started to head back.

The satellite located outside the Earth blew up completely due to the activation of the self-destruct system.

On the return journey, they picked up the superpower users who still dwelled in the subway tunnels as scheduled.

Having scavenged many vehicles from the laboratory, there was now enough seating for everyone, but Su Mo did not rush to lead them away.

She had to ensure that these people, who hadn’t been above ground for too long, became accustomed to the sunlight and temperature on the surface.

Beef Soup was cooked in a large pot and delivered to the superpower users, making sure everyone was fed and in good condition.

These individuals had been underground for far too long, their eyes simply unable to tolerate such intense white light after days without sunlight.

Lu Chen decided to postpone the departure for three days.

During these three days, they stayed right there in the subway tunnels.

Although the smell was still unpleasant, now that the corpses had been cleared, it was bearable.

Li Qian, being rather kind, carefully explained the arrival of the Ice Age and the current situation of the outside world to them.

In the small subway station, the atmosphere was warmer than ever.

They ate the warm food, talked excitedly about the future, everything seemed so wonderful.

Su Mo sat on her sleeping bag, her mind filled with infinite longing for Lu Ruixue. She leaned on Lu Chen’s shoulder and whispered, "I wonder how that child is doing now."

Lu Chen wrapped an arm around her shoulder, "If Lu Jin mistreats her after we get back, we’ll kill him."

"Easy for you to say, Xuexue might not even recognize you as her real father."

Su Mo couldn’t help but laugh out loud. How could her own flesh and blood fail to recognize her? That child had long regarded Lu Jin as a second father.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen’s expression also cooled.

After the two had talked for a while, the sky outside had darkened. Inside the subway, candles and flashlights for illumination had been lit.

The superpower users, having had their fill, were now sleeping much more peacefully.

After delaying for two days here and once everyone had adapted to the light outside, it was time to officially set out.

Tonight was their last night, and the subway tunnel was very quiet.

Li Qian’s spiritual power slowly spread out, and the moment the first mutant creature touched his Spiritual Threads, he immediately sounded the alarm, "Get up! We have to go!"

"Monster incoming! At a very high speed!"

This statement shocked everyone, and they all started to desperately rush out.

In the chaos, they all forgot that this was a subway tunnel network, with passages leading everywhere...

The distance to the University was not too close, which showed just how fast these monsters were.

Su Mo quickly packed up and climbed to the surface.

Snow still fell heavily on the ground, and the cold wind was piercing, but for those who had consumed the Beef Soup, it was much more bearable.

Lu Chen quickly unleashed several of the scavenged vehicles, turned on the searchlights, and his vehicle, as the lead, sped through the snow with the four cars behind.

The ground began to shake, accompanied by violent jolting of the vehicles.

Lu Chen floored the accelerator, and upon capturing the situation below with his spiritual power, Li Qian said seriously, "You need to tell those cars behind to split up, they’re about to be caught up."

Lu Chen immediately relayed the command down the line.
