Chapter 202: Not Going To Tell You
When the convoy stopped for a rest, Luo Yuting decisively asked to switch seats with Si Xu.
"Brother Luo." Xing Xiaoyu was delighted to see him. "Why are you here?"
After a morning of torture, Luo Yuting’s ears could finally regain some peace. He sat down in Si Xu's seat, closed his eyes, and said, "There's a lunatic on that vehicle."
His tone was unfriendly, so Xing Xiaoyu didn't say much.
After the convoy continued on its way, Xing Xiaoyu opened the window a crack to let in some fresh air. Suddenly, she rolled the window down and exclaimed, "Listen, someone’s singing!"
The singing could be heard clearly in the wind.
"Ordinary disco, we sway to our ordinary tunes~ Ordinary passersby watch in their ordinary way~ My ordinary soul is having an out-of-body experience~ Burning ordinarily in the ordinary beat~"
After finishing one song, the next song quickly followed.
"As the moonlight rises, the red lanterns shine brightly."
"This song..." Even though she didn't understand the song, why did she feel upbeat for some reason?
Before Xing Xiaoyu could say anything more, Luo Yuting, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly spoke coldly. "Close the window."
Xing Xiaoyu was startled, thinking the singing was disturbing his rest, and quickly closed the window.
After she closed the window, Luo Yuting said, seemingly explaining to her, "The zombies will catch your scent."
Jiang Ran sang like that the whole way, clearly trying to keep those mutant zombies chasing their convoy hanging in the air.
This vehicle was packed with ordinary people. If these ordinary people opened their windows, they would be defenseless once the mutant zombies caught the scent of flesh and blood and launched an attack.
After singing all the way, they arrived at the next rest area. It was already getting dark.
The convoy found a detached villa, and Huo Lingyin instructed the team to get out of the vehicles, reorganize, and arrange personnel for the night shift.
While giving instructions, she glanced at Jiang Ran's convoy quietly.
She wanted to see how that shameless girl was going to continue to pester them in this detached villa.
To her surprise, after their convoy stopped, the two vehicles that squeezed into their convoy didn’t follow, but suddenly accelerated and quickly disappeared into the darkening twilight.
Having prepared a string of sarcastic remarks, Huo Lingyin stared in astonishment at the departing vehicles, then sneered. "At least you know what's good for you, hah."
……
After traveling two kilometers and calculating that the distance was about right, Jiang Ran finally told the convoy to stop and rest.
Jiang Ran found a small house, cooked a large pot of vermicelli with stewed cabbage and meat using the available gas in the house, and then invited everyone out to eat.
"With so many people, it’s more convenient to cook in a large pot, so please don't mind."
Hearing the girl's smiling greeting, a little boy nestled against his mother gulped hard, looked at his mother, and hesitated to approach. "Mom, can I eat some?"
Hearing the child's question, the woman's eyes suddenly reddened. She gently stroked the child's head but didn’t immediately step forward.
Jiang Ran had already come out to serve the rice. Noticing that no one had touched the food, she asked in surprise, "Why aren’t you eating? Aren't you hungry?"
Those people looked at each other, and no one said a word.
Luo Yuting walked directly to the table, and sat down. He took the rice bowl and chopsticks that Jiang Ran handed him, and said calmly, "Thank you."
Jiang Ran smiled and said, "You're welcome."
With Luo Yuting taking the lead, the hesitant ordinary people gradually came over and sat down in twos and threes.
"Don't be shy, everyone," Jiang Ran said with a smile. "We'll be traveling together for some time, which means we're all teammates, so we should look out for each other!"
Children didn't worry as much as adults. The boy quickly picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth, saying as he chewed, "Wow! Sister's cooking is so delicious!"
Since the emergence of the human-eating creatures outside, he had never eaten such delicious food again.
Jiang Ran patted his head. "Eat more if you like it. You're still growing."
Si Xu, who had been silent all along, saw her movement. When she withdrew her hand, he grabbed it and pulled it to his side. He pulled out a wet tissue from somewhere and vigorously wiped her palm and fingers.
Jiang Ran, "..." She found it funny and whispered, "He's just a kid, jealous man."
Si Xu threw away the wet tissue. "Dirty."
Ordinary people, like those with superpowers, had viruses in their bodies.
It was best to avoid touching them.
Moreover, even if he was a child, he was still male.
Jiang Ran had no choice but to say, "Let's eat, let's eat. It's been hard on you, having to listen to me sing all afternoon."
"Your singing was pleasant."
No one had ever said she sang well before, but now that her beloved had praised her, Jiang Ran was overjoyed. "Really?"
Si Xu's eyes were sincere. "Yeah, it sounded nice."
Luo Yuting, who was eating quietly, couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth. Dude, your ability to lie through your teeth was amazing.
……
After checking the area around the villa and confirming that there were no mutant zombies or mutant plants, the members of the first team followed Huo Lingyin's instructions, taking turns on duty and resting.
Huo Lingyin, unusually, didn’t ask anyone to sleep with her. Just as she was about to fall asleep, a scream came from outside.
"Zombie! A mutant zombie! Everyone, be careful!"
"It's a mutant zombie with speed-type abilities! Protect yourselves, don't let it get close!"
"Tell those who are taking a break that there's probably more than just this one!"
Amid the noise, Huo Lingyin put on her coat and walked to the second-floor balcony, shouting, "Don't panic! Find cover first! Don't stand in the courtyard!"
As she spoke, she unleashed her psychic abilities to cover the courtyard.
Due to the interference of psychic abilities, the mutant zombie that was darting around in the courtyard was forced to slow down.
Huo Heng immediately ordered, "It's over there! Concentrate efforts and attack! Those on the perimeter, don't let your guard down. There may be other mutant zombies!"
Upon discovering that the zombie had slowed down, the superhumans, focusing their attention, unleashed their abilities simultaneously.
However, the moment the superhumans approached, the originally slow-moving zombie suddenly accelerated and rushed towards Huo Lingyin.
"Captain!"
Huo Lingyin possessed strong psychic abilities, but her physical abilities were weaker than those of ordinary superhumans.
In close combat, she would undoubtedly lose.
Knowing their captain's weakness, the members of the superhuman team immediately leaped upstairs.
Before the two team members could get close, a sharp vine suddenly shot out from the side and swept towards them.
The two superhumans who were trying to save Huo Lingyin were forced to stay away.
In the brief moment of delay, the zombie with speed-type abilities had already rushed in front of Huo Lingyin.
It reached out, aiming for her heart.
Huo Lingyin dodged backward, shouting at the same time, "There's another zombie with psychic abilities nearby! Everyone, be careful!"
The fact that her psychic abilities were suppressed indicated that there was another zombie with psychic abilities or mutant plant nearby.
As she spoke, the zombie with speed-type abilities closed in again.
Huo Lingyin was unable to dodge in time. Her shoulder was slashed, and she fell to the ground.
Before she could catch her breath, the zombie pounced on her, trying to bite her throat.
Huo Lingyin gripped the dagger she was using for self-defense and stabbed it into the zombie's neck.
"Captain!" Huo Heng's exclamation rang in Huo Lingyin’s ears, filled with urgency and concern.
She paused involuntarily.
The zombie took a bite, but missed slightly and bit into her shoulder.
"Hiss!" She couldn't help but gasp.
"Oh dear, Huo Lingyin is about to be bitten to death! Si Xu, hurry and help her!"
As a piece of flesh was torn off by the zombie, Huo Lingyin's vision blurred with pain, but she clearly heard a girl's exclamation.
Tinged with slight humor.
Before Huo Lingyin lost consciousness, her last thought was that if she had another chance, she would definitely beat that annoying Jiang Ran to a pulp!
