Chapter 241 Youyou: I'll go get you some equipment.
The sky was as dark as ink, and the only light around them was from their vehicle.
Using the shadow of the truck bed as cover, Lu Nange subtly moved her fingertips, and several folding camping chairs appeared out of thin air in the corner.
"Brother, over here!" Gu Wan patted the chair.
Gu Qi and He Zhuo stood up at the same time, patting the dust off their windbreakers and pants.
The canvas fabric creaked as the two slumped into the chairs.
"Leveling up and fighting monsters along the way is even more exciting than grinding dungeons in a game." He Zhuo took the water Lu Nange handed him, tilted his head back and gulped it down, his Adam's apple bobbing. "Thinking about it, it really is like there's never a moment's rest."
Chi Yanzhou's expression turned serious: "The black rain caused all the mutated animals to evolve, so there's a high probability that the zombies have evolved as well..."
Lu Nange closed her eyes and leaned back in her chair, a ripple of emotion stirring deep within her: [Wait, were there a lot of mutated animals on that mountain just now?]
Some electronic screens flashed: [Nan Nan, you can think of this as a game in your world. You're probably like a level-based game that's now on a harder mode!]
Lu Nange frowned: [Isn't this number a bit too exaggerated, too abnormal? Will it be like this the rest of the journey?]
Suddenly, an electronic voice crackled with electrical noise: "[Nan Nan, I'm sorry, I couldn't detect everything completely. But it does... increase the difficulty of your journey. You need to reach Beijing as soon as possible...]"
Lu Nange: [Yes, yes, what? You mean someone or something? Is it manipulated by someone?]
[Zzz—Violation detected—]
The electronic voice became somewhat serious: [Host, to avoid detection and prevent you from being discovered on the journey ahead because of me, I will enter hibernation mode.]
[Don't worry, Nan Nan, I'll go back to Blue Star and bring back lots of equipment for you! If you find a level 5 crystal core on the way, save one for me. Remember to use it to awaken me when you get to Beijing!]
Lu Nange: [Still can't say?]
[Sizzle—]
[Sizzle—]
[Sizzle—]
A voice, broken and as if choked, said, "[Nan Nan, it's like... what you humans call a silencing spell. If we keep talking, we... might all... be... annihilated!]"
Lu Nange: [Okay.]
Youyou: [Host, if you encounter... danger, don't call me. Right now... besides... cheering you on, I can't help you much. Bye...]
Lu Nange: [...] Yes, yes?
After Youyou completely fell silent, the convoy passed through two occupied areas.
The stationed soldiers checked the license plate and the documents given by General Cheng, then waved for the vehicle to pass.
Lu Nange tried checking in daily, and the rewards still appeared in her profile.
The system manager function is also working normally, but the lively electronic voice is no longer there.
As they drove away from the city, the sound of the engine attracted a few scattered zombies.
Shi Xu, who was clamoring for toys, was hit on the head directly, and the vines immediately wrapped back into the crystal core, the whole action was smooth and fluid.
Lu Xici glanced at the crystal cores Zhizhi had thrown into the truck bed: "They're all level two... It seems the Black Rain really did cause the zombies to evolve."
Several abandoned buildings were scattered around. Lu Nange scanned the area with her mental energy: "Everyone seems pretty tired. How about we find a place to rest first?"
He Zhuo looked at Lu Beiye in Lu Xici's arms and nodded repeatedly: "He must rest! Aye's health can't be compromised by lack of sleep."
"Shh—" Shi Xu raised a finger, glaring at He Zhuo with displeasure: "Bei Bei is asleep, Uncle, keep your voice down."
He Zhuo pointed at himself, looking utterly dejected: "[You could say he's polite, he's tall and strong, only a year younger than me, and now he's calling me uncle! You could say he's rude, but he's calling me uncle again...]"
Gu Qi glanced at him: "You've been given a generation's seniority for nothing, you should be secretly happy."
"That's right!" He Zhuo's face immediately lit up with a smile.
Gu Wan rubbed the back of her neck to loosen her muscles: "Look at how pathetic you are..."
Lu Nange pressed the intercom: "Brother Chi, turn right. Let's find a place to rest."
There wasn't a single ray of light on the roadside; the silence was chilling.
Following Lu Nange's instructions, the pickup truck stopped in front of a tall building.
After Lu Nange put the pickup truck into her spatial storage, the group walked forward, flashlights in hand...
