Chapter 5 The Rival Appears
Two hundred meters away, a large group of zombies were moving towards them quickly, and the smell of blood and howling sounds were overwhelming.
"Run!" Xu Zhiyang pulled Li Huiyin up, jumped off the sculpture, and ran onto the Peace Bridge.
Abandoned vehicles are parked in a mess on the bridge. Even if the owner of an off-road vehicle has great driving skills, the middle section of the bridge is piled with cars like a mountain, and the off-road vehicle will definitely not be able to pass unless it has wings.
Sure enough, the SUV stopped.
Li Huiyin was panting from exhaustion, but she was also laughing.
"Hey! That guy can't escape even if he has wings!"
Xu Zhiyang ran as fast as he could, dodging the bloody maw of the zombie in front of him and leaping over the car roof. "Don't gloat! We're in danger too!"
"Hey! Stop talking nonsense! It's unlucky!" Li Huiyin followed Xu Zhiyang's footsteps, and the two soon arrived next to the off-road vehicle.
I saw a tall man getting out of the car, opening the trunk and taking something out.
With good intentions, Li Huiyin said, "Brother! The zombie army is coming from behind! Run!"
When the man looked over, Xu Zhiyang suddenly stopped and his pupils shrank in surprise.
It’s him!
Xu Zhiyang never expected that he would meet his mortal enemy from his previous life so early in this life.
Wind Power User - Congratulations.
In their previous life, the two of them disliked each other and were at loggerheads with each other. Every time they had a meeting to assign tasks, they would argue for no reason.
Xu Zhiyang didn't know what magic the blessing had that made him unable to help but keep on contradicting it.
Seeing that they were two young students, Zhu Ci hummed coldly, said nothing more, picked up the huge backpack from the trunk and put it on his shoulder.
"What are you doing, Xu Xiaoyang!?" Li Huiyin pulled him and looked at Xu Zhiyang who was staring at people.
He said angrily, "You're still looking at men at this hour! Can that handsome guy be used to make a living or save your life? Run away!"
Zhu Ci is very powerful, even without the wind ability he is still very strong. Xu Zhiyang remembers that someone once said that he is a soldier at the level of a national soldier king, and his combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.
Xu Zhiyang didn't know whether he had obtained the wind power, but now was not the time to think about it. The zombie army was only a hundred meters away from them.
"Let's go!" Xu Zhiyang turned around, pulled Li Huiyin and left quickly.
Li Huiyin panted: "Fortunately, there are these cars blocking the way, otherwise these zombies would have caught up with us long ago!"
"If you're tired, don't talk. Just follow me!"
Xu Zhiyang's movements were very tricky. Sometimes she would make sharp turns to bypass cars that she couldn't jump over, so Li Huiyin caught up with the pace after falling twice.
The two of them had not been running for long when a figure overtook them at a very fast speed.
Li Huiyin was stunned: "Fuck, is this guy really fast?"
Xu Zhiyang: "Don't worry about them! There's a big truck up ahead. Go around the bridge and you'll reach the end! There might be zombies behind, so follow me closely! Stay alert!"
"OJBK!"
Zhu Ci took the lead in bypassing the truck, and Xu Zhiyang followed suit and sped up.
Finally, they ran closer and heard the sound of animals screaming from behind the truck at the same time.
Xu Zhiyang stopped abruptly and pulled Li Huiyin, who was unable to stop the car, and said, "There's something."
"What the hell is this new thing..."
The truck in front blocked their view. Xu Zhiyang looked back and saw that the zombies were some distance away. Then he squatted down and looked under the car.
Li Huiyin followed his lead and squatted down, "...Is that...a rabbit?"
"...Whose rabbit has such a long tail?" Xu Zhiyang observed for a while and saw Zhu Ci moving very fast and gunshots were heard continuously.
"This is a mutant rat. We can't defeat it."
The rat behind the truck had two huge dark red hind paws with protruding blue veins and sharp nails.
It was not difficult for Xu Zhiyang to imagine that if this claw grabbed a person, the skin would be torn at best, and at worst the person would be cut in half.
"What should we do? Help him?" Li Huiyin asked.
Xu Zhiyang simply shook his head: "No help, we can just take this opportunity to get off the bridge."
"Then let's go?"
Xu Zhiyang stood up and said, "Let's go!"
After saying that, Xu Zhiyang walked around the truck in front, and the two of them bent over and moved forward stealthily.
Li Huiyin couldn't help but walk a few steps faster, "This rat is so big..."
"Shh." Xu Zhiyang deliberately slowed down his pace and looked at Zhu Ci who was fighting with the big rat, and the long rat tail on the ground in front of him.
Xu Zhiyang used fire energy to gather a ball of flame in his palm, then raised his hand and threw it at the tip of the mouse's tail.
"Squeak!" The mouse screamed angrily, and without caring about the blessing, turned its head and slapped the flames with its front paws.
Xu Zhiyang took advantage of this opportunity to grab Zhu Ci and ran away.
Li Huiyin turned around and said, "Didn't you say you wouldn't help? And where did that little flame of yours come from?!"
"We'll talk later! Run!"
The three of them ran down the bridge and passed by a public toilet near the river. Xu Zhiyang dragged one of them in each hand into a small room next to the public toilet with the door wide open.
Only after locking the door did Xu Zhiyang breathe a sigh of relief. He slowly squatted down against the door panel and looked around the small room.
Li Huiyin also looked around and asked, "Why is there someone living next to the public toilet?" After saying that, she sat down on the bed against the wall in the room.
Xu Zhiyang casually replied, "The public toilet isn't fully renovated yet. Maybe it's the workers."
Xu Zhiyang kept her eyes on Zhu Ci. Seeing him leaning against the door and listening to the noise outside, she made a gesture to Li Huiyin to keep quiet.
Zhu Ci has broad shoulders and long legs, a cold expression, and a very imposing aura. You can tell at a glance that he is not someone to be trifled with.
Xu Zhiyang had worked with him in his previous life and knew that Zhu Ci had another problem, which was that he liked to order people around and always didn't let them do this or that.
Every time Xu Zhiyang went out on a mission and wanted to fight monsters, Zhu Ci would bring him back to the protection circle without saying a word.
However, many changes have taken place in this life. Xu Zhiyang is even certain that Zhu Ci has possessed the power of wind!
Just now, when Zhu Ci was fighting with the big rat, his body was as fast as lightning and he could accurately dodge every claw from the rat.
However, Zhuci's ability level should only be at the first level. Using his ability consumes a lot of his own energy, so he will not use his ability unless it is absolutely necessary.
At this moment, a mouse was heard running in the distance outside the door, making angry noises.
When the sound faded away, Li Huiyin took a deep breath and said, "I was so scared that I didn't dare to breathe."
Xu Zhiyang smiled and said, "He's gone."
Zhu Ci lowered his eyes and looked at the squatting boy. He felt as if he knew him, but he was sure that he had never seen this boy before.
Zhu Ci was not one to dwell on trivial matters, so he suddenly said, "Thank you for what I said. I'll be leaving now."
Xu Zhiyang looked up at him, swallowing what she wanted to say, and just nodded, "Goodbye."
Zhu Cifeng's special ability is a great help to him and Li Huiyin. If his guess is correct, Zhu Ci should also go to the imperial capital. If the three of them cooperate, the journey may be much easier.
"Hey! Where are you going, brother?" Li Huiyin quickly stretched out her hand to stop him.
Zhu Ci opened the door a crack and looked outside carefully, "Imperial Capital."
