This time, no one objected. The moment the truck stopped, everyone got out of their vehicles, Cao Yunjin and the rest were the fastest to get out of their car. They had absolute trust in Su Shanshan.

Zheng Xiaowei supported Dr. Zheng and carefully helped him into the water. She also quickly entered the water. After everyone entered the water, Su Shanshan floated on the surface and stirred the water lightly with both hands. A cold aura spread across the water surface. No sooner had the bees caught
up with them when a layer of ice formed on the water surface.

‘The layer of ice was very thin and transparent. The people under the water held their breaths while the poisonous bees hovered over them. A few timid people were so scared that they opened their mouths and only managed to hold their breaths again after taking a few mouthfuls of water.
Su Shanshan kept releasing her special power with both hands. The consumption of her special power for such an onerous task was a little too much for her.

The poisonous bees kept attacking the ice on the surface of the water. They were persistent. Every time they hit the ice, the people underwater shuddered in fear. Fortunately, although this layer of ice looked very thin, it was very solid.

Time passed slowly. Su Shanshan was looking pale. She stared at the poisonous bees, which were refusing to leave the lake. Her eyes were heavy. If these poisonous bees were prepared to fight them to the death, she would have to abandon these people.

Fortunately, the largest bee, the one that looked like a queen bee, flapped its wings quickly and all the other bees gathered together and flew toward the horizon. They moved rapidly like a dark cloud.

$u Shanshan retracted her hands and fell backward. Zheng Xiaowei helped her up and looked at her worriedly. She brought her up to the shore.

Once they were out of the water, Su Shanshan regained some of her strength. She nodded and thanked her before getting out of the water.

Zheng Xiaowei brought her grandfather back.

The people under the water slowly got onto the shore. Their faces were full with joy after surviving the disaster.

Only Su Shanshan’s expression did not look good. More mutant animals had gradually appeared, and life for humans was getting harder. There was also Gu Jincheng. She remembered that the Southwestern base met with a zombie bird crisis one year after it was established. However, she was not at the
Southwestern base at that time and did not know the exact time.

The bees had left her in such a sorry state. If it were zombie birds, the fierceness of the combat would be multiplied, she thought.
She had to tell Gu Jincheng about this as soon as possible and let him prepare in advance.

After resting, they set off in the direction of the Southwestern base.

Dr. Zheng brought Zheng Xiaowei to Su Shanshan and said, “We haven’t thanked you for saving us twice just now.”

Su Shanshan nodded coldly and said, “This is what I promised. I will naturally do it.”

Dr. Zheng did not express his dissatisfaction with her coldness. Instead, he smiled and said, “This is my granddaughter, Zheng Xiaowei. You’re all young people, and you have more things to talk about than an old man like me. You two can chat. I have something to do… What’s wrong with me…” Dr. Zheng
muttered as he walked away, leaving Zheng Xiaowei, who did not know whether to laugh or cry.

She smiled embarrassedly and said, “Don’t mind him. My grandfather is like that. Previously, he wanted to matchmake me with Mr. Gu from the Southwestern base. He was just worried that I wouldn’t have anyone to take care of me.”

At the end of her sentence, she lowered her head, looking a little sad. In the apocalypse, she was a girl with no supernatural power. If not for her grandfather being a scientist, her situation would have been even worse.

Su Shanshan was not interested in them, but… Mr. Gu? She asked, “Are you talking about Gu Jincheng from the Southwestern base?”

Zheng Xiaowei nodded and said with adoration, “He’s the most powerful person I’ve ever met. My grandfather wanted to set me up with him, but he wasn’t interested in me at all. Besides, I know my limits. That kind of man is not someone I can control.”
She looked at Su Shanshan with a strange glint in her eyes. “As you can tell, my grandfather wanted to matchmake you and me, but it’s even more impossible for you and me.” She spread her hands, looking innocent.

Su Shanshan was intrigued. “Why?” she asked.

Zheng Xiaowei’s expression became a little shy. She said softly, “I felt it when I was helping you just now.”

Su Shanshan followed her gaze and looked at her own chest..
