Chapter 201 Shameless Behavior
Looking in the rearview mirror, Huo Lingyin could see that the two vehicles that had been following them at a moderate distance suddenly accelerated, squeezed into the middle of their convoy, and stopped.
Huo Lingyin was so angry that she wanted to open the window, stick her head out, and start cursing.
However, she didn't have time to swear at the moment.
The stench of rotting zombies wafted through the wind, and the sound of chaotic footsteps drew closer, reminding her that there were quite a few zombies approaching.
She picked up the walkie-talkie and gave the order, "A zombie horde is approaching. Everyone, get out of the vehicles, establish a defensive line, and prepare for battle!"
……
Squeezed into the convoy, Jiang Ran rolled down the window, stuck her head out, and asked a passing superhuman, "Do you need any help?"
The superhuman, unaware of the current situation, instinctively replied, "Sure."
Jiang Ran nodded. "You're the ones who asked me for help, remember to tell Huo Lingyin that."
Before the superhuman could reply, she got out of the vehicle and walked to Huo Lingyin's side. "Captain Huo, your teammate asked me to come and help."
Huo Lingyin rolled her eyes. "Who would want your help?" She would be thankful enough if an ordinary person like Jiang Ran wouldn’t be a hindrance. She didn’t expect Jiang Ran to be able to help.
Jiang Ran jumped up and down, and seeing the dark mass of zombies in the distance, she sighed. "It seems there aren't any mutated species."
Huo Lingyin rolled her eyes even more. "So all the more that I don't need your help."
"That won’t do," Jiang Ran insisted. "Your teammate has already spoken. How can I just stand by and watch?"
After saying that, without waiting for Huo Lingyin's reply, she went back to the vehicle and pulled Si Xu out.
"Si Xu, give me two of those things."
Si Xu took out two round things from his space and gave them to her.
As the horde of zombies approached, Huo Lingyin was about to give an order when she caught a glimpse of Jiang Ran beside her throwing two objects out.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Two loud explosions, accompanied by flashes of fire, blasted the zombie horde across to pieces.
Huo Lingyin, "..."
Jiang Ran clapped her hands and looked at Huo Lingyin. "Can we get going now? If we don't leave now, other zombies might hear the explosion and come looking for food soon."
Looking at Jiang Ran's innocent smile, Huo Lingyin really wanted to twist her head off and kick it into the pile of broken limbs.
She stared at Jiang Ran silently for a long time before finally squeezing out a single word through gritted teeth, "Go!"
The convoy continued on its way, and Jiang Ran's two vehicles naturally squeezed into Huo Lingyin's convoy and followed along.
……
Staring at the two extra vehicles in the rearview mirror, Huo Lingyin grew angrier and angrier, cursing, "How shameless!"
The team member in the back seat also noticed the outsiders mixed in with the group, and he tentatively asked, "Shall we drive them away?"
Huo Lingyin said irritably, "Do you think you can get rid of them? Besides, they just helped us deal with the zombie horde."
Although, in the apocalypse, few people would use bombs to blow up a horde of zombies.
Mainly because the explosion was too loud. After dealing with the immediate problem, it would quickly attract other zombies.
It might even attract mutant zombies with heightened hearing.
"Be on high alert for the next half day." Out of sight, out of mind, Huo Lingyin simply closed her eyes. "Be careful, mutated species might be attracted by the sound of the explosion. Don’t be caught off guard."
"Yes, Captain."
……
It was Jiang Ran's first time handling a bomb, and she was quite impressed with her own accuracy. Humming a song, she calmly steered the wheel, following the convoy forward.
"You shouldn’t have used that kind of thing.” Seeing what had just happened through the window, Luo Yuting disapproved of her actions. “You’re leading a group of ordinary people. If you attract mutant zombies, you’ll end up in trouble."
"I know," Jiang Ran said without turning her head.
"You know, yet you still..."
"But it feels great to throw the bombs!"
Luo Yuting was taken aback, stared at Jiang Ran for two seconds, and then a slight smile appeared on the corners of his lips, which had been pursed into a thin line.
He repeated Jiang Ran's words, "Yeah, it feels great."
A faint male voice suddenly came from the walkie-talkie. "Jiang Ran, you're not allowed to chat with him."
Luo Yuting, "..."
Si Xu, who was left in the vehicle behind to protect ordinary people, harbored deep resentment. Not content with just saying one sentence, he continued to emanate his resentment in a low voice.
"Jiang Ran, chat with me."
Jiang Ran smiled and replied, "Okay, what do you want to talk about?"
Luo Yuting, "..."
What kind of freak was this guy?
When he roughly guessed the man's superpower level, he thought that guy was a cold and aloof big shot. But after traveling all morning, he found that the guy was just a childish guy with perverted possessiveness!
Ironically, the girl in front of him seemed oblivious to the man's twisted possessiveness, indulging him as if it were perfectly natural...
Even this perverse guy had a girlfriend. Thinking of the girl who ran away from him, Luo Yuting felt inexplicably sad.
Fortunately, the two who were communicating via walkie-talkie didn't actually just focus on displaying their affection.
Someone else was driving, while Si Xu was sitting in the passenger seat. There was some background noise when he spoke, so people were probably chatting in the vehicle.
"Several mutant zombies are following behind the convoy."
Jiang Ran asked in surprise, "They arrived so quickly? Huo Lingyin's people don't seem to have much reaction."
Si Xu made no attempt to hide the disdain in his voice. "Those idiots probably haven't even realized it yet."
"Shall we remind them?"
"No need." With Jiang Ran keeping him company, Si Xu was in a good mood. "Teach them a lesson so that they'll remember your kindness."
Jiang Ran agreed, "Okay, then I won't remind them."
Luo Yuting, who had been listening to the two of them discussing how to scheme against someone, was speechless.
When you two were plotting against others, couldn't you at least avoid doing it in front of outsiders? Were you too naive or too confident in your abilities?
Jiang Ran glanced at Luo Yuting in the rearview mirror, put down the walkie-talkie, and asked him, "Did you see a handsome young man with a beautiful limp girl on the road?"
Luo Yuting shook his head. "No."
Jiang Ran, "Oh." It seemed that Luo Rui's affinity with her brother had truly been completely disrupted.
"That limp girl might be the person you're looking for," Jiang Ran offered a hint.
Luo Yuting sneered. "I'm not looking for anyone."
Jiang Ran, "..." Okay, since you didn't like it, then I wouldn't say anything.
"You..." Skipping over the topic of looking for someone, Luo Yuting paused for a moment and asked, "Are you really not going to tell the convoy that they are being followed by mutant zombies?"
"Huh, why must I tell her?" Jiang Ran asked in surprise. "I didn't realize you were such a helpful person."
Those words sounded like sarcasm, but Jiang Ran was simply expressing her feelings—in the original novel, this young master of the Luo family was the most ruthless, cold-hearted, and insidious person. Where cunningness was concerned, even Shen Yang would have to rank behind him.
Luo Yuting curled the corners of his lips. "I'm just curious."
After saying that, he turned to look out the window, indicating that the conversation was over.
Jiang Ran pouted, couldn’t be bothered to pay him any attention.
These two people came from Xiling base. This woman said she was Jiang Yize's daughter, and she didn't seem to be lying when she spoke.
If she really was Jiang Yize's daughter, then the man with her should be one of the experimental subjects under Jiang Yize's supervision.
It was said that Jiang Yize developed the most perfect experimental subject, and more than a decade later, no laboratory had been able to replicate his success.
The man's superpower level was higher than his, but it was unclear how much higher.
As Luo Yuting was deep in thought, cheerful singing suddenly filled the vehicle.
"The vast horizon is my love! Flowers are blooming at the foot of the rolling green hills! What kind of rhythm is the most dynamic? What kind of song is the most joyful?..."
Luo Yuting’s lips twitched, and he stared expressionlessly at the girl swaying back and forth in the driver's seat. He slammed his fist on the back of the seat. "Can you be normal for once?"
"You don't like it? I'll sing another song." Jiang Ran cleared her throat. "I’ll love you even until death! It won't be satisfying unless it's absolutely passionate!"
"..."
"You still don't like it? Then I'll change to another one... A dream half-held hasn’t yet been fulfilled. I wish to fill your heart with love in this life... Reincarnation... Your hand..."
Luo Yuting, "Shut up."
Jiang Ran was singing happily. "You really don't know how to appreciate things."
When the convoy stopped for a rest, Luo Yuting immediately asked to switch seats with Si Xu.
