Su An fell asleep on the road, but his sleep was not very peaceful.
Sheng Huaiyan glanced at him from the corner of his eye, then drove the car out of the driveway after a while. He took a blanket and tucked it in the gap between the glass windows, covering the sun, and then folded out a small pillow.
The ability user in the back seat smiled softly and said: “Brother Sheng is so caring, ah.”
Sheng Huaiyan smiled, and then the car returned to the group at a very steady speed.
Su An slept until noon. His eyelashes trembled as he slowly opened his eyes. A few clouds of cooking smoke rose outside the window, and the people from the base were cooking dough cakes around.
He was in a daze for a while, then sat up and rubbed the center of his brows to regain his senses, when a voice coldly came to his side, “Are you awake? Go down to eat.”
Su An turned around and saw that Sheng Huaiyan had almost smoked a cigarette to the bottom, lazily as if he had just fallen asleep, “It’s noon, it’s hot outside, you can take off your coat.”
Chi Su’an pulled down the car window and threw the blanket on the back seat, and said in a strange way: “You’re kind of saying something human.”
He took off his coat and changed his underwear while no one was around. Sheng Huaiyan took the thing he threw over without any objection, after all, he couldn’t let Chi Su’an wear this thing to kill zombies.
Su An went down to see what was for lunch. Probably because this meal was likely to be the last good lunch they could eat, everyone took out their stocks. A few slices of unevenly-thickened meat could be seen as they tumbled through the sauce-colored broth.
At this time, meat is even more difficult to obtain than grain. Grain can be grown, but meat can only be obtained outside the city.
After the apocalypse, animals have more or less mutated, and the danger is several times higher than before. Even an ability user would have to weigh his own strength if he wanted to eat a bite of meat. The meat was already very valuable, but he really wanted to divide it up; it wouldn’t be enough for people to squeeze between teeth.
Chi Su’an called Xiao An over, and he took out a lot of mutant meat from his space, and said happily: “Everyone feel free to let go of your stomach today, I will let you eat meat until you’re full.”
Cheers sounded: “Thank you Captain Chi!”
“Captain Chi is awesome!!!”
The atmosphere became lively, and after lunch, Wang Er returned to the driver’s seat. Su An nervously clasped the calluses on his palms a little nervously. It wasn’t until Wang Er reminded him that the seams of his nails were covered with blood that he realized his calluses had been torn,
Wang Er only thought that he was nervous about mutated zombies, “Boss, don’t worry, we may not be able to meet the big boss. One of the six bases is responsible for clearing a city. How can it be so coincidental to hide in the city we are going to?”
Su An: “…you shut up.”
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
No one else can know what he was thinking, nor can he say it. Su An could only calm down his emotions by himself, crashing in the choice between collapsing his character or going towards Sheng Huaiyan and bringing himself back up again.

Silently gnawing on steamed buns in the car, waiting for the darkness to fall.
After the sun had completely set, roars that humans could not utter sounded from all directions, one after another, eerie and terrifying.
Su An was lying on the seat wrapped in a blanket, and another person was next to him. Sheng Huaiyan touched his hand, and Chi Su’an tugged and pulled his hand out.
Sheng Huaiyan laughed and said softly: “You guys are sleepy.”
Chi Su’an’s heart was stirred. He opened his eyes and saw that the three tall and big ability users in the back seat had already fallen asleep.
This time when Sheng Huaiyan came to grab Chi Suan’s hand, Chi Suan did not refuse, he lowered his eyes to see Sheng Huaiyan playing with his fingers, and suddenly said: “Your abilities seem invincible to me. ”
Sheng Huaiyan laughed at himself, “If it’s become invincible, I will know what you are thinking.”
Chi Su’an paused, “Then it’s better if you don’t know.”
The howling of the ghosts and wolves did not subside until dawn, and the people in the convoy, after breakfast, set off again and drove into B City.
The wood-type ability users on each car urged the vines to coil up the car, observing the outside scene from the faintly exposed windows. Because of the cover of the vines, the zombies did not find them. But this is not a long-term solution. When the ability of the wood-type ability users were exhausted, everyone could only find the special zombies among the zombies as soon as possible, hoping to find the mutant zombies first.
Su An stared outside, his expression gradually serious. Among the dense crowd of zombies, he did not see a single mutated zombie.
The convoy gradually penetrated into the city. After an hour, no one found the mutated zombie. The people in the car gradually became restless, and Wang Er’s bean-sized beads of sweat slid down the side of his face, and he called in an exasperated voice: “Boss…”
Chi Su’an suddenly looked up at the sky.
At the same time, the microphone in the car rang, and Sheng Huaiyan said in a bad tone: “Pay attention to the roof.”
The others hurriedly looked up to the roof, dumbfounded.
It was unknown when the black shadows stood on the top floors of the buildings on the sides of the road. These “people” had blue skin, white pupils, and some had rotten limbs. They looked down at Chi Su’an’s team, and their bodies were stiff, like soldiers waiting for orders.
They were the mutated zombies that they couldn’t find anywhere.
Chi Su’an’s expression turned ugly, and he picked up the microphone and said: “I won the lottery. These mutated zombies are obviously controlled by higher-level zombies, and the people behind them are most likely the first-generation mutated zombies we’re looking for.”
The hearts of the people in the car sank, and they hurriedly asked: “Brother Chi, what shall we do?!”
“Go back the same way,” Chi Su’an said without hesitation, “We have stepped into a trap, we must find a way to get out first.”
A few minutes later, the convoy retreated in an orderly manner. Su An kept staring at the mutated zombies on the roof. He roughly counted them, and there were at least twenty of them.
Damn...Su An’s heart trembled.
No one thought that the mutated zombies would let them go, everyone was ready for them to attack from upstairs, but to everyone’s surprise, those zombies remained motionless, with a pair of pale eyes following their convoy from left to right, turning around as they watched them leave silently.
Such anomalies are even more disturbing.
A group of people retreated outside the city and quickly delivered the news. Chi Su’an sat on the side of the road and wiped his face vigorously, his expression clouded.
The most powerful group of ability users came over and followed suit, sitting in silence. Chi Su’an stretched out his hand towards Sheng Huaiyan, “Give me a cigarette.”
Sheng Huaiyan took out a pack of cigarettes and distributed them to everyone.
A large group of people began to puff, suddenly, a short-haired woman took two puffs of cigarettes, then she stood up and said: “Since the zombie we’re looking for was in B City, we must not let it escape! Before the people from other bases come to help us, we must try our best to hold it back!”
The man next to the woman had trembling fingers, but he also said, “That’s right, we can’t let it run away!”
Chi Su’an took a deep puff of the cigarette, and was so choked that he bent over and coughed. He covered his mouth for a while, “Look at the mutated zombies just now. They should have spotted us last night. They didn’t run away when they found us. They just waited for us and didn’t stop us from escaping when they found us. Who can tell what they mean?”
“Anyway, I’m not at ease,” Sheng Huaiyan pinched a fingernail mark on the cigarette butt, and said in a deep voice, “But Sister Lai is right, no matter what they think, we have to block the leading mutated zombie in this city, and we kill it in a fight to the death.”
Everyone was silent for a while, and Sister Lai’s eyes slowly turned red, “It can’t be delayed any longer. The personnel will be divided up in a while. Those who are not capable of fighting will stay outside and seek support. Those who can fight will abandon the vehicle and go in. There are too many zombies inside, and the driving is not fast enough, but it has become a burden.”
Chi Su’an is a person who is very afraid of death, so he couldn’t help but look up at Sheng Huiayan.
Sheng Huaiyan was looking at him with heavy eyes, and when he saw him look, he turned his eyes again, and said lightly: “The ones with strong abilities will mainly deal with the mutated zombies with me. For the rest, you guys will keep ordinary zombies away.”
He paused, “We need to leave a strong person waiting outside to protect supplies and other people, so that even if our entire army is wiped out, someone outside will at least live to get the word out. ”
Everyone looked up at him suddenly, no one spoke, but everyone’s eyes were painful and complicated. They wanted to stay and be a protector who could survive, but they didn’t want to say the word of fear of death.
At this juncture, people can be afraid of death, but they have to think about the future.
If they really let the zombie emperor have a chance to be born because they were afraid of death, and they escaped death this time, could they escape the next time? Even if there is a next time, what about their children and grandchildren? What about their family and friends?
They can only bite the bullet.
Sheng Huaiyan avoided their eyes, and said calmly: “Chi Su’an stay here.”
Sister Lai said with difficulty: “No, Chi Su’an has the ability, or has the ability of group attack, which is very effective against zombies. He is very powerful, and he’s just behind you. It would be a waste if he is not allowed to go.”
She didn’t dare to look at Chi Su’an. When she said these words, her heart was filled with guilt and embarrassment. She is equivalent to pushing Chi Suan down the fire pit, but Chi Suan’s combat power is also a guarantee, she has to say it.
The atmosphere was silent for a while, and then someone slowly said: “It’s okay, it’s fine for Captain Chi to stay…the people outside are also very important, and we must ensure that they are safe.”
They still remembered the meat that Chi Su’an gave them yesterday, and his usual care for them, “Yeah, stay, there’s enough of us.”
“At the very least, we must leave a single seedling for the second base, right?”
Chi Su’an’s smile was stiff, he knew that if he really said that he would not go, all the previous preparations would be for nothing. Fu Jie didn’t follow the team this time because there were guards in the base. Although he looked safe, he obviously lost a great opportunity. As long as Chi Su’an returns alive, the base can basically have his surname.
If Su An really chicken out of the city, his reputation would fall to the bottom.
He almost said with blood and tears in his eyes: “No, I will follow.”
Sheng Huaiyan looked up at him suddenly, his eyes burning, “Aren’t you afraid of death?”
Chi Su’an gave him a rare gentle smile, and whispered softly, “Captain Sheng, of course I’m afraid of death. So I have to ask you to take care of me, don’t let me die in the city.”
Chi Su’an would show such a good face to Sheng Huaiyan only when he asked for something. Sheng Huaiyan’s eyebrows were stern, “I will never let you die.”
He spoke forcefully and without hesitation, as if he would protect Chi Su’an no matter what happened. Chi Su’an was slightly taken aback, and his smile deepened, “With Captain Sheng’s words, I feel at ease.”
