The semi-trailer bumped along, driving to the side of the armored vehicle.
Yang Wen took a deep breath, straightened up, turned his head, and saw two old men sitting in the cab of the semi-trailer, and three girls on the roof.
The shortest one, a girl who looked like a little loli, was carrying a sniper rifle on her shoulder. She was obviously very cute, but her inexplicably sharp eyes met his.
The black tight-fitting sweater and loose black trousers made her look very capable, giving off a feeling that was not in line with her appearance: “Keep away.”
And the next moment, the girl had her head patted by another girl, and showed an expression of enjoyment.
Who saved him? Who was that sniper?
Yang Wen’s eyes darted around. Was it the girl carrying the sniper rifle?
Was this too outrageous!
The side window of the semi-trailer slowly rolled down, and Wu Sheng smiled at the suspicious Yang Wen, “What’s wrong? She saved you.”
“Can’t believe it?”
Listening to Wu Sheng’s teasing, Yang Wen also gave a wry smile. He didn’t reply, but instead stood up and waved at the girl on the roof, “Hey, thank you! My name is Yang Wen.”
“Your marksmanship… is really amazing.”
He praised sincerely. The window of the armored vehicle’s cab also rolled down, and the driver, covered in sweat, gave Ping Chengcheng a thumbs up.
“Oh right, the spoils, that Special Infected zombie.”
Yang Wen pointed to the Lurker that had collapsed under the high-rise, completely lifeless.
The girl nodded. She knew the base’s rules. As the “discoverer,” she also had the right to name it.
Song Ning and Yang Wen began to talk, chatting for a while, and he learned that Ping Chengcheng and the others had come from the neighboring A City.
Yang Wen was quite shocked by this. He knew that the distance between the two cities was three hundred kilometers, and the zombies were so crazy in the apocalypse now…
Being able to cross such a long distance to come to S City was truly unimaginable.
Yang Wen also introduced the process for a little later, as well as the rights of the “discoverer.” So Song Ning and Ping Chengcheng put on gloves and went to deal with the Lurker’s corpse together.
The two worked together to carry the Lurker’s corpse and the severed half of its tongue onto the roof of the car. Ping Chengcheng half-squatted in place, finding an angle where she wouldn’t be discovered, and silently began to devour the genes.
“Let’s go, follow us.” Yang Wen gave a somewhat forced smile, waving at Wu Sheng.
The dilapidated semi-trailer looked like a piece of junk pulled out from a junkyard, making a creaking sound, following behind the armored vehicle.
Ping Chengcheng quickly devoured a sufficient amount of flesh and blood, and the Lurker’s corpse looked slightly shriveled.
She obtained a new gene text. This time, the ability was: camouflage.
Ping Chengcheng could blend into the environment by expending a certain amount of energy, or stamina. However, this ability was a bit useless, because she needed to take off all her clothes for it to work.
The girl curled her lips. It was better than nothing, it might be nice to play with it occasionally, for example… when sister was taking a shower, she…
Hehehe~
Oh right…
The girl turned her back to Song Ning, hooking the corners of her mouth maliciously. Last night, a certain cheater cat hadn’t been punished yet.
Sister… Hmph… You were the one who did bad things first, what a bad child…
The semi-trailer was driving shakily, and Song Ning noticed the scar on Zheng Zhiyi’s face.
“What’s this on your face…?”
“Ah?”
Zheng Zhiyi, instinctively glanced at Ping Chengcheng, stammering, “When I went back to my room last night, the hallway was too dark, and I fell.”
Song Ning frowned. That was wrong, something was wrong. She had studied a little psychology, although she couldn’t deal with those who were very good at acting, it was easy to deal with a girl like Zheng Zhiyi.
She clearly felt that Zheng Zhiyi was lying to her, and the wound on her face must be related to Ping Chengcheng.
But Song Ning didn’t expose it, just nodding, “Okay, be careful.”
She glanced at Ping Chengcheng, and the girl was wiping the sniper rifle in her hands, as if nothing had happened, making it shine.
Seeming to feel Song Ning’s gaze, she looked up, smiling playfully, looking so beautiful and healing.
Song Ning’s heart warmed.
Although Ping Chengcheng was very cold-blooded when dealing with enemies, this was a necessary growth in the apocalypse, and something that ordinary girls found difficult to do.
However, she had always felt that although the girl was cold-blooded towards enemies, she was very good to those who had a good relationship with her.
Like Wu Sheng, calling him brother, brother, every day. How sweet was that?
And that Lao Ba, before, they didn’t want to bring anyone, but Ping Chengcheng still brought him. The girl was actually very kind-hearted, but the apocalypse had severely suppressed her nature.
Thinking of this, Song Ning’s heart was slightly bitter. Experiencing such growth, she could hardly imagine how much psychological pressure the girl was under.
The wound on Zheng Zhiyi’s cheek was probably just an accidental reason, right?
Probably Ping Chengcheng accidentally got it while playing with the girl, was that what happened after Song Ning returned to her room last night?
That must be it.
Thinking this, Song Ning looked at the timid Zheng Zhiyi.
Was she afraid that she would blame Ping Chengcheng, so she lied to her?
Song Ning felt a little amused. There was no need for her to be angry about children fighting and playing. But thinking about Zheng Zhiyi’s stubbornness in not reaching out her hand for her to help today, Song Ning didn’t think about it any further.
Half an hour later, in front of them was a wide open space, and behind them were tall walls. The front looked about several kilometers long! It was very spectacular, and visually at least five stories high.
You could even see thousands of people densely packed, small like ants, working on the walls, continuing to increase their height and strengthen them.
In the center of the wall was a three-story-high, classroom-width, super-giant gate, which was quite exaggerated. It seemed to be made of some kind of alloy, the black texture shining with colorful light, beautifully unusual.
Twenty fully armed personnel were responsible for counting the population entering and leaving on both sides. There were seven or eight heavy trucks, semi-trailers, and other types of vehicles lined up.
The armored vehicle’s engine made a beast-like sound, causing several people in front of the heavy trucks and those responsible for counting the population to turn their heads curiously.
When they saw this armored vehicle, covered in blood and zombie scratches, and Yang Wen on the roof, his face covered in bloodstains, they were all shocked.
Had they just experienced a fierce zombie horde attack?
“Boom boom boom~!”
Ten seconds later, another broken semi-trailer roared, but slowly drove over. The crowd turned their attention to it. First, they saw the two crash bars bent downward, held in the middle by a screw. It swayed from side to side, like a crying little mouth.
Looking up, two men with bitter faces were sitting in the cab without a windshield, squinting their eyes to prevent dust from entering their eyes. Immediately, someone in the crowd laughed.
The three graceful girls on the roof, each with their own style, attracted the attention of many people. This combination could be said to be quite rare in the apocalypse.
A lewd man scanned Ping Chengcheng from top to bottom.
Until, his face turned pale when he saw the feet of that loli, stepping on a strange zombie corpse.
Its mouth was stretched wide, and a nearly seven- or eight-meter-long hideous tongue slid out from the right side of the container, swaying back and forth.
This was… a new Special Infected!?
Had those people killed it?
No… how could that be, it should have been killed by the ruthless people on the armored vehicle.
In a corner, a doctor from the medical team narrowed his eyes and saw the girl’s blood-red, gorgeous pupils. His face changed, and he quickly walked out of the crowd’s sight.
