Chapter 99,Part 1: Save the apocalypse (5.1)
From the moment Ren Zhu said ‘stand still’ up until Liu Ming Qing shot dead the second level zombie, less than a minute had passed. Compared with the previous several minutes of tension and danger, the final minute was practically like a game.
Most of the people who saw the zombie fall to the ground were stunned . When they finally reacted, their eyes widened as they looked at Ren Zhu, as though the person standing opposite them wasn’t a handsome man, but rather a high level zombie wearing human skin. Otherwise, why would this second level zombie be so obedient? It’s just like a mouse that ran into a cat!
Ren Zhu looked at the gazes and expressions of these people. He smiled and shrugged: “Why are you all looking at me like that? I’ve already said that I can interfere with a zombie’s actions.”
Fatty Jin chuckled and then used his bearish hand to pat Ren Zhu’s shoulder again: “Little brother really likes to hide his abilities ah! Powerful, powerful, I give you my respect!”
Liu Ming Qing also felt a little helpless. You said that you can interfere with a zombie’s actions, but the problem is that the effect of your interference is actually so powerful and you didn’t even tell us about it. If we had known earlier that you were so powerful, would we still need 5 people to come up together? Just the two of us would be able to directly blow up the heads of the zombies from far away.
“Ahem, okay. In any case, we have already killed the second level zombie. We should hurry up and dispose of the small fries. It’s getting late. We’ll rest here tonight and directly head towards Yuan City base tomorrow morning. This way, no matter how much we might be held up along the way, we would still be able to arrive at Yuan City base before tomorrow evening!” Zhou Yun drew everyone back from their thoughts and threw a wind blade at a zombie that was rushing over.
Everyone also returned to reality and quickly dealt with these zombies. The following process went quite smoothly. This might have been because one mountain can't contain two tigers, so there weren’t any other powerful zombies in this gas station rest area. After the ten people finished dealing with all the zombies, Fatty Jin ran out with the fastest speed to tell the five cars to drive to the entrance of the dining hall.
“We’ve already cleaned up the inside of the dining hall and the zombies have also been thrown outside. We can sleep on the tables in the dining hall tonight. In addition, we can now take a look at the essential things in the stall beside us. We worked together to handle the zombies, so I hope that everyone doesn’t scramble and damage this harmony when you’re getting things.”
Before Fatty Jin could finish speaking, the people in the minivan had already impatiently rushed out towards the stall. That frantic manner was really too unsightly. Hu Hong just sullenly glanced at that family and didn’t say anything. His behaviour really was quite strange. It was very obvious that Hu Hong didn’t like that family. But since he didn’t like them, why was he banding together with them?
Before Ren Zhu could thing more about it, Mao Gan Cao and Gou Jian Fei dragged him into the supermarket. People usually just buy some souvenirs, water and snacks from these small supermarkets at gas stations. Now, there were about 18 people here. If everything was divided, there wouldn’t actually be much for each person.
However, after Teacher Ren stood for a while in the supermarket, he directly turned around and left. This small supermarket was now full of people. He really wasn’t willing to scramble and fight with anyone. Besides, there was a more worthwhile place for him to go.
Ren Zhu sneaked around to a locked iron door at the back of the dining hall. He looked at that iron door and raised an eyebrow.
“Are there good things in here?” A voice sounded beside him. Ren Zhu lowered his head and saw that nephew of Fatty Jin. Although he didn’t have an ability, he was a strong courageous young lad who managed to single-handedly deal with three zombies. Teacher Ren revealed an affectionate smile: “Yes. Unfortunately, we don’t have the key.”
Jin Yu felt a little uncomfortable seeing Ren Zhu’s smile, as though he was seeing his kind class teacher who had died in order to protect them. He pursed his lips: “I have a way.”
Then, Ren Zhu saw the youth fish out a very complicated looking key from the small backpack he was carrying. He then inserted it directly into the door look, and with a click, he actually opened the door.
Ren Zhu: “???”
Jin Yu mischievously chuckled and proudly said: “It’s a bomb that I made myself!”
Ren Zhu: “……” If it weren’t the apocalypse right now, he would definitely punish this bear child to copy texts a hundred times.
Jin Yu seemed to sense something and he couldn’t help but tremble. He coughed: “That, that, I, I just really like opening locks and metal! As if I’d be a thief! My wish is to become a high precision mechanical expert in the future!”
Hearing this, Teacher Ren couldn’t help but smile with gratification. He rubbed Jin Yu’s head: “This is a good goal. Jiayou.”
Jin Yu’s eyes instantly lit up as though he had received the greatest affirmation. Nodding, he said: “En! I will work hard! Let’s go in!”
It goes without saying that this was the gas station’s storage room. There were a lot of things inside, but most of it were things that weren’t easy to carry like rice, noodles, grain and oil. There still weren’t that many snacks and local specialty products. However, Ren Zhu and Jin Yu’s goal was very clear. The two of them headed straight towards the two stacks of boxes filled with instant noodles. They walked out with one person carrying 5 boxes, the other carrying 10.
Those boxes were simply a spectacular sight for the other people.
At this moment, Fatty Jin and Gou Jian Fei had just happened to grab a large bag of things and came out. Seeing their nephew and boss, their eyes instantly lit up as they threw the things into the car and rushed towards the storage room. Then, Zhou Yun also found out and quickly joined.
In the end, Ren Zhu looked at the trunk and back seat that was already stuffed with instant noodles, yoghurt, rice noodles and sweet potatoes. He felt that he had really underestimated humanity’s obsession with food in the apocalypse. And in the process of transporting food, the family in the minivan also had a conflict with Fatty Jin’s family. Jin Yu was holding the last two boxes of unexpired yoghurt and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Hu Tian, that is, the 23 year old youth who had been driving the minivan.
Jin Yu frowned and looked at him: “You are blocking the way.”
Hu Tian scoffed: “It’s not like this is your home. Do you need to care about where I stand? Also, my little brother and my girlfriend want to drink yoghurt. You’ve already carried two boxes into your car, so just give us these two boxes.”
Jin Yu frowned even more. He looked at Hu Tian as though he was mentally retarded: “I grabbed it so it’s mine.”
Hu Tian’s expression suddenly changed: “Brat! Don’t be so shameless! Do you believe that-”
Before Hu Tian could finish speaking, he suddenly felt something sharp on his stomach. He stiffly lowered his head and saw that the youth had actually rushed up to him who knows when and was pointing a metal knife at his stomach.
“You, you, you!”
Although Jin Yu was only 13 years old, in these current times, he was also a little expert at killing zombies. Compared with Hu Tian who always relied on Hu Hong’s protection and didn’t work if he didn’t have to, Jin Yu was much stronger: “If you don’t agree, then let’s settle it with combat.”
Hu Tian’s face changed.
After Jin Yu left with the two boxes of yoghurt, Hu Tian then revealed a poisonous expression behind him and cursed: “This bastard! Just wait for Laozi to kill you when I have the time!”
The dispute here was just a small matter. No one paid much attention to it. However, for Teacher Ren who had already honed his ‘class teacher’s observation’ skill until it had become a kind of instinct, he saw this dispute very clearly. They really were a hateful family. Ren Zhu glanced at Hu Hong who had already fallen asleep, the middle-aged women who was still diligently finding and collecting things in the supermarket, as well as the boy about the same age as Jin Yu who was constantly eating.
It was hard to imagine that Jin Yu and this boy had the same age. Compared with Jin Yu, this youth was twice as big, so Ren Zhu had thought that he was 15 years old and no longer considered a child. Instead, Jin Yu was a little thin and looked like he was 11 years old. So in the beginning, he had thought that there were only two children among the 17 people. But now it seemed like there really were only two children. Besides the genuine little girl, there was only the youth who didn’t think of himself as a child and instead acted like a baby.
They were both thirteen years old, but while Jin Yu took the initiative to work hard and protect others, this tall youth felt that it was natural for him to enjoy being protected.
Ren Zhu shook his head. The gap in IQ really couldn’t be repaired. Even if he continuously gave this youth the class teacher’s guidance and encouragement, the youth would probably only use his energy on eating and goofing off? Forget it, it’s better to save other people. This kind of person definitely isn’t the saviour.
