I Branch Out in the Apocalypse

The apocalypse comes suddenly.

Zhang Lin is trapped at home, and food is about to run out.

A system suddenly appears!

Marrying and having children will grant generous rewards.

...

Chapter 152 Wuhu~~

"It's over!"

The city lord sighed sadly.

"The bumper cars are made of some unknown material, they are extremely sturdy and indestructible. With the added speed, their power is terrifying. If they collide head-on, even someone with a constitution of over 1,000 would definitely not survive!"

"Lord of the City, don't be sad. When the world comes back to life, I'll help you find them in advance and train them properly!" Jin Sina didn't know what else to say, so she could only offer this advice.

"No..." The city lord shook his head. "No two flowers are the same in the world. The world goes through cycles of reincarnation. Perhaps he would not have achieved what he has today. Moreover... true strong people seize every moment. Only a weak-willed person like me would keep going through cycles of reincarnation and place my hopes on others."

Jin Sina wanted to persuade him again, but at that moment, inside the bumper car park, Zhang Lin unleashed a burst of dragon breath, which directly hit the oncoming bumper car. Instantly, sparks flew, thick smoke billowed, and the huge explosion and thick smoke made it impossible for the two people outside the park to see anything.

Elsewhere in the park, other bumper cars continued to move, occasionally colliding with each other, the sounds of impact accompanied by the eerie laughter of the mannequins…

The smoke and dust cleared.

The city lord closed his eyes, unable to bear it any longer.

Although she disliked Zhang Lin, deep down, he was definitely the most promising person she had ever met, and also her hope for ending the cycle of reincarnation.

But now Zhang Lin is dead.

What she didn't say was that the birth of a strong person is unique. Even if the world were to cycle again and she were to find Zhang Lin and nurture him properly, he might not achieve what he has today...

"Lord, Lord, look!" Jin Sina's shouts startled the Lord awake.

She opened her eyes and looked over...

"This, this..."

"What's going on?"

In the bumper car park, two bumper cars collided, but the scene that the city lord had expected—the huge impact that tore Zhang Lin and Xia Xiaonuan's bodies apart—did not occur.

Instead...

When the two bumper cars collide, the rubber rings at the edges come into contact, the huge force is cushioned, and then they spread out in opposite directions.

The mannequin emitted a strange laugh.

On the other car, Zhang Lin and Xia Xiaonuan were completely unharmed, as if the bumper car had completely absorbed the impact.

Xia Xiaonuan was completely bewildered. She looked down at her body, confirming that she had not been torn to pieces by the enormous impact.

She rides motorcycles and knows best what the consequences of a speeding collision are. The speed just now was many times greater than her limit, yet she was completely unharmed.

She didn't understand.

Zhang Lin fared slightly worse; he had removed his seatbelt earlier, and although the bumper car absorbed some of the enormous impact, it still sent him swaying around inside the vehicle...

He wouldn't have been injured with the seatbelt restraining him, but without the seatbelt, his head hit the bumper car's steering wheel and interior dashboard several times.

In other words, even though he was physically strong enough, he only felt dizzy and saw stars.

That's it?

It took him a long time to recover before he uttered a strange question.

The bumper cars then sped up again.

Xia Xiaonuan became nervous again. She gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, carefully controlling the direction, but the bumper car was accelerating automatically. As the speed increased, she slowly lost control of the bumper car.

Bang!

Another collision.

Zhang Lin fastened his seatbelt beforehand.

This time, both of them were unharmed once again.

During the collision, the two temporarily lost control of their bodies, which swayed around with the impact. However, most of the force was absorbed by the bumper cars, thus maintaining the sensory stimulation for them without harming them.

Wuhu~~

After another collision, Zhang Lin shouted excitedly.

He lost his parents at a very young age and it was a miracle he survived. He'd never played this before. When he grew up, he was too lazy to play it by himself. He wanted to ask Xia Xiaonuan to go with him, but Xia Xiaonuan thought it was childish and refused...

Now, he finally understands the fun of bumper cars.

Xia Xiaonuan was very cautious at first, but after several collisions, both of them were unharmed, so she relaxed.

Seeing Zhang Lin so excited beside her, she also smiled.

She somewhat regretted refusing to go out with Zhang Lin.

Outside the bumper car park.

The city lord and Jin Sina stared at the two people in the amusement park, dumbfounded. They looked at each other for a long time before Jin Sina asked, "City lord... are you sure this is dangerous?"

"Once, more than seventy of us discovered this place. When we left, I was the only one left. I saw with my own eyes four people riding in two bumper cars, and after a collision, they were sent flying everywhere..."

The city lord took a deep breath, looked at Jin Sina, and asked in return, "Tell me, is it dangerous or not?"

“But…” Jin Sina pointed to the two people in the park who were getting more and more crazy, and Xia Xiaonuan even took the initiative to steer and collide with other cars.

"Perhaps... I haven't been here for too long, and the rules have changed." The city lord was also confused at this moment.

She couldn't understand why the amusement park where her eldest daughter had once been so dangerous had suddenly become so harmless...

"Lord, shall we go play too?" The two inside were having a blast, and Jin Sina was getting a little envious.

"I won't go!" The city lord's tone suddenly turned cold. "I won't gamble with my life. If you want to die, I won't stop you!"

The deaths of her companions had cast a deep shadow over her, so much so that she wouldn't try anything that seemed safe.

Jin Sina shrugged and said nothing more.

Everything she does revolves around the city lord.

If the city lord says he won't go, then he won't go.

"Hey, that's enough, you guys!"

Hearing the two people inside the park talking louder and louder, the city lord could no longer hold back and shouted, "This place is unknown and mysterious to us. You can't be so presumptuous. Nobody knows whether the bumper cars have really become safe or just temporarily."

Hearing her reminder, Zhang Lin calmed down.

Indeed, temporary safety does not mean permanent safety, as they do not know much about this place.

You can't gamble with your own life.

If you really want to play, you can just build one in Hope City later.

However, whether or not they actually played the game wasn't up to them. All they could do was try their best to control the direction and avoid colliding with other cars, unless they really lost control...

Almost an hour later.

All the bumper cars stopped.

Zhang Lin and Xia Xiaonuan walked out of the amusement park.

"Lord, let's continue our journey."

The city lord took a deep breath and said solemnly to the two of them, "Don't rush to leave. I must explain the dangers of this place to you, and you must promise me that you will never touch any amusement park rides again!"
