◎Someone attacked!◎
When the girl heard the word "superpower", her expression was not right. It seemed that her relief at surviving the disaster immediately turned into another kind of fear.
However, she seemed to be very curious about Rong Xiao. Perhaps the filter of him being her savior was too strong, which offset a lot of the unknown emotions in her heart.
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Shangguan Huai blinked in confusion.
The old man didn't say anything. He reached out and touched his injured leg and found that the wound was gone and he couldn't feel any pain at all.
"Thank you, thank you." The old man's expression became a little calmer. He got up from the ground and gently pushed his granddaughter behind him.
Shangguan Yu stood at the back with his hands folded. He never participated in such thankless tasks and was just an unnecessary addition.
He had been observing secretly and always felt that the old man's expression was very strange.
If most people encountered this kind of thing, they would definitely be grateful to Rong Xiao for appearing and Shangguan Huai for helping them recover from their wounds.
But there was more of a sense of defensiveness, fear and terror in the old man's eyes.
Are you afraid that they have ulterior motives in saving people?
Shangguan Yu was suddenly curious.
"Thank you, sister," the little girl insisted, squeezing out from behind the old woman and staring at Rong Xiao curiously. "Just now... was that a supernatural power?"
Rong Xiao was stunned. Before she could answer, Shangguan Yu interrupted, "It's not a supernatural power."
"Really?" The little girl clapped her hands, as if she had heard an answer she liked. "That's amazing! Even if it's not a supernatural power, it's still that amazing."
"My brother also used his supernatural powers to save your grandfather. Why don't you thank him?" Shangguan Yu treated everyone the same. Even to a seemingly cute little girl, his sharp tone was unreserved.
The little girl was caught off guard by the question. She hesitated for a long time, stole a glance at the smiling Shangguan Huai, and added softly: "Thank you, brother, thank you for saving grandpa."
"Xiao Yu, I was just joking. Don't take it seriously." Shangguan Huai smiled and patted Shangguan Yu's shoulder, pushing the guy who was scaring the child back. "How are you guys? Are you okay? Do you need any help?"
Long Qingyu had been observing the situation nearby and asked, "Are you going somewhere? It's quite dangerous, we need to..."
"We're going to look for her parents," the old man patted the little girl's head, his smile clearly distant. "Thank you, we're going to continue on our way."
"Oh! Bye!" Shangguan Huai waved at them and watched the two figures, one tall and one short, walk away.
"Xiaoxiaoxiaoxiao, have you upgraded?" Ling Xi squatted on the ground looking for any supplies dropped by others while taking the time to chat with Rong Xiao.
Rong Xiao shook his head: "The number of zombies is not enough, but it should have increased a lot of progress."
"Okay, everyone, check if you have everything you need. If everything is ok, get in the car and set off." Long Qingyu gave an order, and after everyone checked their backpacks and belongings, they quickly got in the car to start a new day's journey.
We had a good sleep last night and everyone was in good spirits. No one slept in the car.
Long Qingyu was driving, Tian Yichuan was humming a song in the passenger seat, Ling Xi and Rong Xiao were chatting about Yan Jue again, Shangguan Yu was resting with his eyes closed in the last row, and Shangguan Huai was chatting non-stop beside him, discussing the roadside scenery, the smashed shops, the birds flying in the sky...
Five minutes later, Ling Xi couldn't stand it anymore and patted Shangguan Huai on the shoulder: "Stop talking."
"Ah?" Shangguan Huai was stunned.
Ling Xi pointed at Shangguan Yu's ear.
As soon as she got in the car, Ling Xi saw that Shangguan Yu had put on earplugs and didn't want to hear any sound at all.
Poor, weak and bored Shangguan Huai turned and joined the discussion between the two girls, chattering enthusiastically.
The car suddenly slowed down. Long Qingyu rolled down the window a little and asked, "Did you hear any noise?"
After a moment of silence, Tian Yichuan imitated the zombie's cry: "Ah... this?"
"No, it's not a zombie. It seems like there's a living person asking for help."
“…” Everyone was silent for a moment.
Rong Xiao suddenly sat up straight: "I heard it, it seems to be in that direction."
She pointed with her finger, and Long Qingyu quickly determined the direction, slowed down the car, and drove towards the direction of help as if gliding.
The voice became clearer and clearer. It was not just one person calling for help, and the distance had not changed. It should be fixed at a certain location.
"It seems to be there."
Following the direction Rong Xiao indicated, they saw a huge trap.
In the middle of the city’s highway, there was a big hole, which looked like it was dug out by something explosive. It was about three meters wide.
It is at least five meters deep, and the inner wall has been painted with cement, making it very smooth. It is impossible to get up without special abilities and tools.
There were several zombies wandering around nearby, gathering in a place not far from the trap.
Long Qingyu signaled them not to get out of the car yet, asked Tian Yichuang to sit in the driver's seat, took up his gun and prepared to go over to check the situation.
Who knew that he had only taken two steps when he felt someone behind him.
Turning around, she saw Rong Xiao following behind with excitement and anticipation, staring at her precious iron hook.
"Go back to the car and wait." Long Qingyu urged people into the car.
Rong Xiao pointed at the zombies gathered over there, and shook the hook as if it were a toy: "Hit the zombies."
"...Okay, be careful."
"Okay!" Rong Xiao suddenly burst into energy.
Long Qingyu carried an axe and a sniper rifle on his back, held a pistol in his hand, and walked towards the target with light steps.
Along the way, he was looking at the nearby tall buildings, fearing that someone would attack him in the dark.
Fortunately, he didn't find anything unusual when he walked near the trap.
“Help! Help!”
The cry for help was heard again.
Long Qingyu finally heard it clearly. It turned out that the sound was not made by humans, but a large speaker that could dial back and plug in batteries.
The horn was not far from the trap. Several zombies were attracted there, but they couldn't find any fresh flesh and blood, so they kept circling around like headless flies.
When Rong Xiao and Long Qingyu approached, the zombies finally smelled the food and came over to eat.
Rong Xiao, who had been ready for a long time, rushed forward excitedly. With a few muffled bangs, the zombies fell to the ground one by one.
The machine that was repeating itself was still beeping. Rong Xiao picked it up, patted it, and turned off the switch.
Long Qingyu carefully looked towards the trap and found that there were four or five people squeezed in there, with several zombie corpses under their feet.
It must have been a zombie that accidentally fell into the pit and was taken care of by them.
He went back to the car and asked Ling Xi for bundles of long hemp ropes. Long Qingyu tied the ropes to the street lamp next to him and threw the other end into the trap.
He didn't say a word the whole time, as if saving people was just a matter of convenience.
The people in the cave climbed up one after another, and those who came up helped to drag the people below out. Soon all the people inside were rescued.
Long Qingyu was just about to ask if they were okay when one of them suddenly changed his expression and started to attack, brandishing a shiny knife.
"Bang!" The metal collided, the blade was hooked by something, and suddenly turned and flew out.
The man looked panicked and quickly stepped back: "What do you want?"
Rong Xiao calmly walked forward and picked up the knife that was caught by the hook, with a confused look on his face: "What do you want?"
"We don't have any supplies," the man who had just taken action said, shielding the others behind him, "and we don't have anything valuable to give you."
Feeling the strong hostility and defensiveness, Long Qingyu finally understood what was going on and patiently explained, "We just heard the call for help and came here to help. The trap has nothing to do with us."
After saying that, Long Qingyu turned his head and signaled Rong Xiao to return their knives.
The group looked at each other, their faces flushed with embarrassment. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. We thought it was someone digging a trap... I'm sorry."
"It's okay. Since you are okay, we will leave too." Just as Long Qingyu was about to put away his gun, a cold light flashed across the air, and the ground made a loud noise. The glass fragments hit the ground and shattered instantly.
"Someone is attacking by surprise!" When Rong Xiao shouted this word, his voice was actually a little excited.
Long Qingyu grabbed the trash can to block the two of them, and the others immediately sought cover to hide.
Sharp broken glass kept hitting them near them, as fast as bullets. If it hit the skin, the effect would be no different from that of a bullet.
"Someone seems to be using a slingshot in a hidden place..." The person who wanted to sneak attack Long Qingyu just now reminded in a low voice.
Long Qingyu nodded and glanced in the direction where the car was parked. They were probably being targeted when they parked.
Rong Xiao, who wanted to fight head-on, was about to raise his hand, but Long Qingyu shook his head in denial. He made a hushed gesture with his index finger, and then everyone stopped making any unnecessary moves.
"Put your weapons where they are and you can leave," a loudspeaker shouted from above. "If you resist, we will not show you mercy."
"Damn it." Several other people not far away cursed inwardly.
But once they finished cursing, they realized that the one who was even more unwilling should be Long Qingyu.
What they were holding in their hands were nothing more than knives and water pipes, but the weapon on Long Qingyu's back was the weapon that everyone wanted in the apocalypse.
Sniper rifle, fire axe, pistol... even the iron hook in Rong Xiao's hand looks particularly powerful.
If this were stolen, the ones who would suffer the greatest loss would not be them, but Long Qingyu and Rong Xiao.
The man who had attacked Long Qingyu earlier was a sturdy man with a buzz cut. He glared at the trap outside with gritted teeth, then suddenly called out to Long Qingyu, "Brother, I'm sorry for what happened just now. We'll go out and attract their attention, and you'll take the opportunity to run! You shouldn't have been dragged into this. You're here to help out of kindness, and we won't let anything happen to you."
Long Qingyu opened his mouth and was about to say something, but the man with the crew cut waved his hand with a firm attitude, desperately signaling them to leave.
Rong Xiao, who had no idea what was going on, looked up at Long Qingyu curiously, his eyes confused and ignorant.
"Rong Xiao, do you want to play games?" Long Qingyu suddenly thought of the way Shangguan Yu usually talked to her, and tried to imitate him.
As soon as he heard the word "game", Rong Xiao nodded frantically, and the progress bar appeared in his field of vision.
"I'll teach you something new, you can use it in the game later." After saying that, Rong Xiao saw a somewhat unfamiliar smirk on the captain's face for the first time.
