Chapter 14: Fire Elemental Ability



After learning that Jiang Zhaosu had not awakened any special abilities, Qi Xing looked very disappointed.

Afterwards, while searching for supplies, Qi Xing kept muttering like an old man, "This shouldn't be possible. If there's a crystal core, there's superpowers. If there's no awakened superpower, what's the superpower of that little mutant? How is it possible..."

Jiang Zhaosu's ears were almost callused from all the nagging.

Originally, Jiang Zhaosu felt a little ashamed that he didn't become stronger after eating the crystal core, and felt that he was really useless.

However, this feeling of guilt disappeared without a trace in Qi Xing's chattering late at night.

What's wrong with her being useless?

This isn't the first day she's been this useless.

Anyway, she has turned into a zombie, so she will die if she fails.

What else can I do?

Of course, if he could survive, Jiang Zhaosu still didn't want to die.

After knowing that zombies would also be dangerous in the apocalypse, Jiang Zhaosu decisively gave up the flashy convertible sports car and found a low-key gray-white Wuling Hongguang, determined to survive in this dangerous apocalypse.

Qi Xing doesn't care about any of this.

However, the van has a much larger capacity than a convertible, allowing him to carry more junk, which Qi Xing is very satisfied with.

After packing up, the man and the corpse set out on their journey again the next day.

Jiang Zhaosu actually didn't know where Qi Xing was taking her, and Qi Xing had never told her this before.

However, after experiencing the mutant last night, Qi Xing's attitude towards her inexplicably became better.

While driving, Qi Xing chatted with her and took the initiative to tell her that he had a younger sister.

When talking about his relatives, Qi Xing, who is always ruthless in killing both his own kind and zombies, shows a little bit of his soft humanity.

"My sister was only fourteen when she left me, about the same age as you are now. I don't know how she is now."

Jiang Zhaosu: “???”

Who told this person she was fourteen?

She's an adult, alright! She's just a little short, so how can she be only fourteen?

Qi Xing drove with his eyes fixed on the road ahead, not noticing Jiang Zhaosu's odd expression. He continued, "We are now in Area C. I've searched all the survivor bases here, but there's no sign of my sister."

"I heard there's an area called Area A in the south, where there are even more survivors. I plan to go look there."

Jiang Zhaosu was not interested in what Qi Xing said.

She didn't really care where she was going, she was only worried about whether she would have her next lunch.

After becoming a zombie, eating becomes the zombie's biggest need.

The meat that Qi Xing had stored for her was eaten up last night.

Having not eaten for the whole morning, Jiang Zhaosu now felt his throat was dry and acid was surging in his stomach.

Qi Xing didn't put a bite arrester on her today. She was afraid that if she didn't eat, she would lose control of her instinct and attack Qi Xing.

She didn't want to attack Qi Xing.

The only outcome for attacking Qi Xing is death.

She doesn't want to die.

“Ahh…”

Jiang Zhaosu covered his stomach with both hands and howled weakly.

"Fugui is hungry again?"

“Ah…”

Raising a little zombie is really troublesome. It eats more than a pig and is more tiring than raising a younger sister.

Qi Xing resigned himself to his fate and slowed down the car, looking around to see if there were any living creatures nearby.

They are currently in the countryside, where the area is vast and sparsely populated. Not to mention living things, even zombies are rare.

Qi Xing drove for another few dozen minutes and suddenly saw a truck on the side of the road.

Two men stood in the road next to the truck, raising their arms and waving at them.

Jiang Zhaosu and Qi Xing's eyes lit up at the same time.

Food and equipment are here!

The dilapidated van slowly stopped on the right side of the road.

Conditions in the end times are harsh, and most people choose to keep to themselves.

Seeing that the van was actually willing to pay attention to them, the two men were overjoyed and immediately came over.

Little did they know that Jiang Zhaosu and Qi Xing in the car were also excited.

“Cough cough cough!”

Qi Xing coughed violently twice, straightened his expression, and said to Jiang Zhaosu, "Wipe your saliva quickly and be serious!"

“Roar, roar, roar!”

Jiang Zhaosu, who had already smelled the aroma of meat, coughed twice quickly to swallow the saliva in his mouth and the excited roar in his throat.

Their car windows have protective film so you can't see inside from the outside.

Rolling down the car window, Qi Xing, who had been unruly just a second ago, instantly returned to the timid attitude he had when they first met, and whispered softly to the two men outside the window: "Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"

The contrast was so great that Jiang Zhaosu's jaw almost dropped.

The two men who stopped their car were both in their thirties or forties, in their prime, with strong builds. Jiang Zhaosu drooled at the sight of their muscular bodies.

After seeing that there was only a handsome, weak man and a little girl in the car, the two men turned their heads and looked at each other and exchanged glances.

One of the men with shaved heads spoke first: "Hey, my brother and I have a flat tire. Can you give us a ride home so we can get the tire?"

Another square-faced man continued, "Our home is in the village not far ahead. If you're willing to help us, I have some bread at home that I can share with you two."

In the last days, bread has become a rare delicacy.

Qi Xing's eyes widened with surprise: "Really? My sister and I haven't eaten for a long time."

"Gulong..."

Jiang Zhaosu, whose face was covered by the hood of Qi Xing's sweatshirt, also cooperated by making hungry swallowing sounds at the right time.

Seeing their eyes widen when they heard about bread, the man laughed heartily: "Of course, I, Xu Long, always keep my word."

"It's just a side trip, brother, you are so generous."
