Chapter 163 Crossing the City [30]

The next day arrived for the people at the service area in Beijing, filled with a mixture of excitement and trepidation.

Everyone packed their things and got into their respective vehicles.

Achu was still in the same car as Shen Wang, but today Yue Tingsong was also in their car.

Given the unknown dangers in the city, Chen Wang instructed Yue Tingsong to first use a drone to scout the way and determine whether the road ahead was passable.

Because drones were needed to scout the route first, the convoy did not travel very fast, but it went quite smoothly.

Although some nearby zombies came after hearing the car, they were either shaken off or easily dealt with.

Just as they approached the center, the drone footage showed traffic congestion and a large number of zombies wandering around.

With so many zombies, a horde of zombies could easily engulf their convoy.

Yue Tingsong handed the tablet to Chen Wang: "Boss, there are so many zombies, I'm getting trypophobia!"

Shen Wang glanced at him, his expression unchanging.

Ah Chu leaned closer to look and exclaimed, "So many zombies! Will the car even be able to get through?"

Shen Wang comforted her, "Don't worry, I'm here, we'll definitely get through this."

Yue Tingsong glanced at his boss, pursed his lips, and silently thought: "Hey~~ don't worry~~ I'm here~~"

I never expected you to be this kind of boss!

Chen Wang stopped the car and took out his walkie-talkie to notify the cars behind him: "The road ahead is blocked, stop your car first."

The first voice to come through the walkie-talkie was Chen Sui's: "Brother, is there a car blocking the road ahead or zombies?"

Chen Wang replied, "Both."

Lin Xiangheng's voice came through the walkie-talkie again: "Boss, what's the arrangement?"

Shen Wang already had an idea. He picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Shen Sui and Lao Xu, get out of the car with me and go ahead to distract the zombies. Jing Zhu, come to my car."

Responses came through the walkie-talkie one after another.

Soon, Song Jiahe's voice came through the walkie-talkie again: "Captain Chen, I can also go with you to lure away the zombies. I have some ideas."

Because they would be crossing the city together, Song Jiahe was also given a walkie-talkie to ensure that everyone could communicate in a timely manner.

When Song Jiahe addressed Captain Chen, he was actually calling out to Chen Sui.

She hoped to take this opportunity to make a good impression and gain Shen Sui's favor.

After all, we're about to arrive at the Beijing base, and the chances of contacting Shen Sui after that will probably be fewer than they are now.

Shen Sui directly rejected Song Jiahe via walkie-talkie.

Song Jiahe was somewhat indignant that they had rejected her idea without even listening to it.

This was completely different from what she had expected!

No one cared about Song Jiahe's feelings.

In the car behind, Shen Sui, Xu Da, and Zhang Jingzhu got out one after another.

Shen Wang first instructed Yue Tingsong: "Monitor the road conditions at all times."

Yue Tingsong nodded: "Okay, boss!"

Shen Wang glanced at A Chu and then instructed, "Protect her well."

There's no need to name her.

Yue Tingsong grinned, his smile quite teasing: "Don't worry, boss! I'll definitely protect Mianmian and make sure she doesn't lose a single hair!"

Shen Wang looked at A Chu and reminded her, "Be careful. If you encounter danger and need to get off the bus, stay close to Lao Yue and the others, okay?"

Achu nodded, looking expectantly at Chen Wang: "I understand, Brother Chen Wang. You must be careful too! We're going to the Beijing base together!"

Shen Wang couldn't resist and reached out to rub A Chu's head.

Ah Chu's hair is in great condition; she just washed it last night, and it feels very smooth.

Even Chen Wang was reluctant to pull his hand back.

However, upon seeing Shen Sui and the others walking towards him through the car window, Shen Wang withdrew his hand.

He nodded and said, "Don't worry, we'll meet up ahead."

Achu: "Okay."

Shen Wang opened the car door and got out, then instructed Zhang Jingzhu to protect A Chu.

Zhang Jingzhu was a man of few words; a nod was his only response.

She got into the driver's seat and glanced at Achu, who was sitting in the passenger seat.

Although he still had an icy expression, his eyes had softened considerably.

"Sister Azhu," Achu called out to her.

Zhang Jingzhu reached out and pinched her cheek; it was soft, bouncy, and smooth, with a wonderful feel.

Outside the car, Shen Wang, who hadn't left yet, saw this scene and felt a pang of envy and jealousy.

In particular, Achu was all smiles, tilting her head obediently as Zhang Jingzhu pinched her cheeks.

Looking at Zhang Jingzhu again, Shen Wang felt a bit displeased.

But now was not the time to think about these things. He turned around and briefly explained the plan.

Shen Wang planned to ride his motorcycle with Shen Sui and the others along a shortcut to get ahead, and then try to create a big commotion to attract the zombies' attention.

There happened to be a few motorcycles parked on the side of the road.

Xu Da checked it and found that the motorcycle was fine and had enough fuel.

He started the motorcycle.

Then the three of them rode their motorcycles and roared off into the distance.

The convoy remained stationary, except for Yue Tingsong, who continued to operate the drone and follow Chen Wang and his group for a while.

There is no signal now, so Yue Tingsong's drone cannot fly too far and will lose connection.

So after following them to an unmanageable distance, Yue Tingsong piloted the drone back.

After waiting for about half an hour, the voice of the team leader I met at the service area yesterday came through the walkie-talkie.

"Hey bro in the lead car, how much longer are we going to have to wait?"

"It's been half an hour, why is there still no sound?"

Yue Tingsong lazily replied into the walkie-talkie, "What's the rush? There are so many zombies ahead. Do you think it'll be an easy task for our boss to get through?"

The walkie-talkie fell silent.

Yue Tingsong hummed twice and turned to talk to A Chu.

"Little Mianmian, are you worried about the eldest?"

Achu nodded: "I'm worried. There are so many zombies ahead. Brother Chenwang and the others are riding their motorcycles with their bodies exposed. It's so dangerous!"

Yue Tingsong chuckled, "Don't worry, our boss is very capable; he won't let himself get hurt by zombies!"

Achu nodded: "Yes! Brother Chenwang is the best!"

Yue Tingsong thought happily, "When the eldest brother comes back, I'll teach him this phrase."

Achu was genuinely a little worried about Shen Wang, since he had been infected with the zombie virus around the same time.

However, her appearance changed too much of the plot, and it can no longer be deduced according to the original plot.

So Achu was worried that Chenwang might accidentally get bitten by a zombie and get infected with the zombie virus.

She had no intention of letting Shen Wang become a zombie king like in the original story.

While Achu appeared to be chatting with Yue Tingsong, she was actually having the system keep an eye on Chen Wang and keep track of his movements.

The system told Achu that everything went smoothly on Chenwang's side, and there were no major incidents.

After waiting for about ten more minutes, a loud explosion was heard from a distant direction.

I don't know what exploded, but it made a lot of noise.

Those who heard the noise sat up straight and looked out of the car.

The voice came through the walkie-talkie again: "Is that Boss Shen and the others?"

Lin Xiangheng's voice followed immediately: "Old Yue, use the drone to check if the zombies ahead have been attracted by any noise."

Yue Tingsong responded, and the drone had already flown out.
