Xiao Fan had smelled this sulfur scent far too many times over the past few days.
The entire Shenhai City was permeated with the smell of sulfur everywhere.
Strangely, once he left Shenhai City, the smell gradually diminished, and when he reached the wilderness, it practically vanished altogether.
Xiao Fan himself hadn't even noticed this point too clearly until he arrived at this rest stop, and it suddenly came to mind.
"Where on earth is this sulfur smell coming from?"
Xiao Fan stood on top of the vehicle, lifting his eyes to look towards the rest stop.
This rest stop was quite big in area. Just the restaurants alone numbered over ten. Not only was there a gas station and supermarket, there was even a hotel and police substation with an affiliated police office.
The police office and gas station were both in the north of the rest stop. Xiao Fan had come from the south. He felt the scent of sulfur drifting over from that direction.
There was also a large abandoned vehicle parking area over there, with over a dozen charter buses strewn about every which way, completely blocking off that area.
Because of the distance, that area was already outside of the radar detection range. Without going over to take a look, there was no way to ascertain the circumstances over there.
Xiao Fan didn't immediately head over. His first goal was to find a prime mover here.
He slowly guided his men towards the restaurant area. The radar map also gradually displayed some sporadic zombie dots.
All of those zombies were inside vehicles. As Xiao Fan walked past a small car, he discovered that the driver was strapped into his seat belt. Upon seeing Xiao Fan's group, he incessantly bared his teeth and flailed his arms, but was unable to leave the car.
"Wearing a seat belt is a good habit. At the very least, you won't come out to harm others."
Xiao Fan waved a hand, and a infantryman went over, stabbing down with his bayonet and ending the existence of this zombie that was unable to resist. This also earned him a small amount of level up experience.
Very quickly, Xu Qiang found an undamaged prime mover in front of one of the restaurants.
"Commander, this vehicle can still be driven."
"Good. We'll drive it away later. Let's go collect some more supplies first."
Xiao Fan's gaze locked onto a restaurant up ahead.
On the surface, this restaurant didn't seem much different from the others. The doors were already broken, with blood stains all over the entrance, a complete mess everywhere.
However, the radar showed two green dots on the restaurant's second floor.
Green dots represented survivors. It looked like some people had made it through this catastrophe here!
"Let's go, head over to take a look. Perhaps we can obtain some new intel."
The group entered the restaurant, making straight for the second floor.
********
Inside the restaurant's second floor, the Lin Weiwei and Lin MoMo twin sisters each held a riot control five round burst firearm taken from the police. They nervously stood guard at the bedroom doorway.
The twin sisters had just graduated university and returned to their family restaurant to help their parents for a few days before going out to find jobs.
But a few days after the happy life, the changes of the apocalypse descended.
After a meteor fell from the sky, destroying the police substation to the north, the world transformed.
The people around them seemed to go mad, attacking others. Scenes of humans eating humans were occurring everywhere.
The frightened twin sisters had gone towards the police substation at the time. They had even been attacked. If it wasn't for an armored cash transport vehicle that happened to be refueling there, if the sisters hadn't desperately grabbed the riot control firearms from the cash transport guards, they feared they would have died days ago.
Their parents at home had also been attacked to death by zombies. After the sisters returned home, they forcefully endured the grief, opened fire to kill the zombies in the home, then hid inside the house.
Fortunately over the past couple days, the wandering zombies seemed to unconsciously move towards the police substation, as if something over there was attracting them.
This also allowed the twin sisters to breathe easier, feeling the surrounding zombies gradually moving away. They started considering the issue of leaving this place.
The twin sisters had nowhere to go, yet also didn't want to wait here for death. Over the past couple days, they debated whether to head south or north.
But before coming to a conclusion, people actually came!
They heard vehicles driving over, people walking over towards the restaurant.
The frightened sisters tightly gripped the firearms in their hands, psyching up each other.
The nervous sisters waited inside the bedroom. They felt the footsteps reach the door.
A male voice sounded outside.
"People inside, listen. We have orders to search for supplies. If you don't have any objections, we're taking the cooking utensils and food outside."
Upon hearing this, the twin sisters were dumbfounded. The other side actually wanted to take away the things they used to cook!
Because they ran a restaurant at home, the twin sisters both possessed excellent cooking skills. They usually loved researching gourmet dishes the most, and were determined to become food streamers.
Relying on the sisters' looks and cooking skill, they firmly believed they would make it big.
They didn't expect the people outside to actually want to take away the things they used to eat. This was absolutely unacceptable.
Additionally, the other side were people instead of zombies. Their courage swelled up. The more rash younger sister Lin MoMo directly opened the bedroom door and loudly said "That's not okay....."
Before she finished speaking, a shadow flashed before her eyes.
A person wearing military garb swayed before them, and the firearms in the sisters' hands had been taken away.
Having lost their weapons, the twin sisters finally realized the gravity of the situation. They were momentarily dumbstruck.
Only now did they take note of the people outside.
A group of warriors dressed in military garb, with a youthful military officer amongst them. There was also a gigantic wolfhound at his side.
The smarter Lin Weiwei immediately realized they were unable to contend against the people before them. She promptly revealed an expression like encountering relatives, speaking to that military officer-looking youth, "Uncle military man.....we've been waiting for your arrival!"
The people before them were naturally Xiao Fan's group. His complexion involuntarily darkened.
These cute sisters were only just past twenty. He wasn't even twenty-five yet! How did he become an uncle already?
His expression gloomy for a moment, Xiao Fan slowly said, "Where did you get these guns? Don't you know private ownership of firearms is prohibited in this country? Speak truthfully!"
His intentions were only to frighten the two sisters, so they would be more agreeable when he took the cooking utensils later.
Lin Weiwei and Lin MoMo instead became somewhat afraid, hurriedly explaining, "Uncle, we didn't do anything bad! We got these guns from the cash transport guards at the gas station. It was also to protect ourselves, firing some shots and only killing one zombie!"
"That's right, Uncle, if you need money we can lead you to where that cash transport vehicle is!"
Lin MoMo feared Xiao Fan would look into the matter with them. She blurted everything out in one breath.
Xiao Fan was just making an offhand remark, he didn't expect to actually obtain such a piece of intel. His eyes immediately lit up.
