Chapter 8
"You should have thrown away all the water when you smashed the zombies. Thanks to you, otherwise the zombies might have caught up with us."
The female voice said: "Without her, we might have driven faster and wouldn't have been caught up at all."
It was the woman who had asked her to get out of the car just now.
Lin Tantan said: "Without you, I would still be walking well on the road."
After she finished speaking, she took the mineral water from the man's hand, and seeing that it was sealed, she thanked:
"Since you think I have helped you too, we owe nothing to each other." She tried to open the bottle, but she couldn't unscrew the cap; it was too tight.
The man said, "Do you want me to open it for you?"
The woman sneered again. Lin Tantan couldn't understand what she was laughing at, so she refused the man, and with a little more effort, she finally unscrewed the lid. Her wound started to ooze blood again.
The man glanced at the back of her hand, smiled and said nothing.
Lin Tantan drank half a bottle of water in one gulp, and the man said again:
"We all belong to this city, and we are going back to our homes in the city to have a look. If your home is on the way, let's go together. It will be safer if there are more people."
In the city... Doomsday guide, don’t go to the city centre and the other pre-apocalyptic densely populated places, but Lin Tantan was going to the North University Town.
There were actually two ways to go to the North University Town. She had checked it out just now. One was to pass through the city, and the straight-line distance was short, but who knew what the city was like now?
The other way was to go through a big circle. Lin Tantan remembered her experience of watching movies for many years. After the end of the world, the expressway was blocked by cars. If you wanted to reach your destination earlier, you would have to rely on your legs. Her legs were not longer than others. If she chose the longer way, she would have to walk more than one hundred kilometres, which basically meant: having to walk day and night without sleep.
And it seemed that a group of zombies would appear out of nowhere easily. With her current ability, being surrounded by zombies in the wild was a dead end.
It was better to go through the city, although there would be many zombies, there were also many obstacles, which provided conditions for dodging. And although the road conditions in the city would not allow driving a car, the straight-line distance was less than 50 kilometres, and it would take only more than ten hours to get there by foot.
But even after deciding her route, Lin Tantan was not prepared to go with these five people.
Among these three men and two women, except for this man, no one else had supernatural powers, and this man was only in the process of awakening. He should be very troubled by the awakening at this time. His body temperature should rise, his head should be dizzy, and his whole body should be in pain. However, this person was still very calm, except for a little blush, there seemed to be nothing wrong with him at all, Lin Tantan admired this kind of a person.
But this couldn't change the fact that this group was full of rookies.
Being with them would not only mean having to endure rash driving, but would also increase the possibility of encountering danger.
After thinking about it, she said simply: "No, it's not on the way."
After she finished speaking, she wanted to leave, but seeing that the car had taken her for more than ten minutes and had saved her an hour's journey, she turned around and said:
"Actually, I don't recommend you to go on the road now, especially you, you'd better eat something nutritious and high in calories, take a good rest and maintain your strength."
She did not want to say more, after reminding these two sentences, she only left behind a neat back.
As soon as the woman with the shrill voice heard her say such words, she became unhappy again:
"What kind of words are these, what a thankless attitude, you got in our car, and still want to show us faces!"
The reason for her unhappiness was, in fact, that she had already seen Lin Tantan smashing zombies in the car just now, and her hits were very accurate. Although she was a little angry at Lin Tantan at first for jumping onto their car, after seeing her attack, the dissatisfaction disappeared, replaced with admiration.
There was this sudden change around them a few hours ago, they still hadn't figured out the situation yet, but this girl seemed to have adapted well. She didn't seem to be afraid of those monsters, she had good skills and courage, and dared to go on the road alone.
Every human being has the innate mentality of admiring the strong. Although Lin Tantan was not considered strong at the moment, what she had shown could already make people look at her differently.
That was why they wanted to take her with them.
Who would have thought she would have such an attitude, she was going in the direction as themselves, so why not go with them directly?
Only the man, swaying slightly, supported the car and looked at Lin Tantan's fading back, with a flash of thought in his eyes.
…………
When Lin Tantan was on her way alone, the small group she had been thinking about had not yet arrived in the North University Town yet.
In the outer suburbs of Yang City, a group of eight people could be seen resting. Most of them were soldiers of the National Special Operations Group. They had taken on a special anti-terrorism mission before. They almost died many times during their time abroad in the past three months, and finally managed to complete the mission. When they finally returned to their country, the motherland they had been thinking about constantly, had already become like this.
It should be said that the whole world had changed a lot.
At this time, these people were either sitting or standing, wiping the hot gun barrels in their hands, guarding their surroundings vigilantly, and fiddling with something in their portable notebooks, while some were busy disassembling something beside a scrapped small plane, their eyes wide open. All of them frequently looked at a slender figure answering the phone.
There were dozens of zombie corpses scattered around; the evidence of the fierce battle that had taken place just now.
After a while, the slender figure hung up the communication and turned around. This was a man with a very handsome face, thick eyebrows like a knife, and a pair of eyes that seemed to smile naturally, but there was no smile in these eyes at the moment, only seriousness, glistening like dark bottomless pools of water.
He met the questioning gazes of his comrades-in-arms, and said in a deep voice:
"The higher-ups want us to enter Yang City and rescue some important people."
If Lin Tantan was here, she would have probably been able to recognize who it was, jumping at least three times excitedly. Because this person was Ye Xiao, the male god she had been constantly thinking about.
This is an awesome novel, thanks for picking it up!
