It was supposed to be a four-hour journey, but Bai Xiqin wrapped it up in two hours.
This is a desolate mountain on the outskirts of Shanghai, unaffected by human presence.
Sitting in the car, one can still hear the chirping of various insects outside.
The ice and snow from earlier had silenced them for a while, but with the sudden heat, the insects had become lively again.
No one knows how they survived the freezing weather, but it's clear they are much tougher than before the apocalypse.
The growls of zombies were completely inaudible now; only insect chirps and some rustling could be heard.
These rustling sounds were from unknown animals moving under the cover of night.
On the map, this place appears as an undeveloped barren land, sparsely wooded, a place rarely visited by tourists.
In reality, it is a secret base with a sprawling underground facility beneath the mountain.
Inside, there is a power that can reboot Earth.
