Chapter 8 Following the Army
"Hmm..." Xu Zhiyang smiled and pointed to the bedroom. "Speaking of cars, you should come with me to see this."
Zhuci was puzzled: "What?"
Xu Zhiyang stood up, walked lightly, and walked into the bedroom one after another with Zhu Ci. Xu Zhiyang took a candle, slowly opened the cabinet door, and then opened the small drawer in the cabinet.
"Look." Xu Zhiyang slightly moved sideways to make room.
Zhu Ci didn't move. He stood behind him, peered over, saw a drawer full of car keys, raised his eyebrows and said, "He's really rich."
"It looks like the car is parked in the garage downstairs. I'll go down and pick a suitable one tomorrow." Xu Zhiyang took the key to a Maserati and sighed, "This car logo looks very expensive."
Zhu Ci said coldly: "It doesn't matter if it's expensive, an SUV is the best choice."
Xu Zhiyang laughed secretly in his heart, rolled his eyes in his heart, turned around and went out to find a place he liked to sleep.
The next day, the three of them went down to the garage and turned on the lights and stayed there.
There were more than ten cars parked in two rows in the garage.
Zhu Ci casually threw a wind blade and pierced the head of the zombie that had been trapped in the garage for a long time, giving him a quick death.
Li Huiyin screamed and pounced on the nearest car, stroking the beautiful red sports car in ecstasy.
"Dream car..." Li Huiyin suddenly said seriously: "How about this, let's each drive one just in case!"
"no."
"Can't."
Xu Zhiyang and Zhu Ci said at the same time.
"Why!" Li Huiyin lay on the car, wishing she could stick to it.
"Sports cars will attract zombies, and they are not spacious enough." Xu Zhiyang glanced around and pointed to the last black SUV to Zhu Ci.
Zhu Ci nodded, took a look at the car logo, took out the car key from the plastic bag that Xu Zhiyang was carrying, opened the car, started it, and checked the oil level.
"The tank is full."
Xu Zhiyang nodded, and without throwing away the remaining keys, he casually placed them on the hood of a car. He turned around a few steps, picked up Li Huiyin and threw her into the car, then he walked around the front of the car and sat in the passenger seat.
After driving out of the garage, Li Huiyin still leaned against the window and looked at the slowly closing garage door, "Baby, wait for me to pick you up..."
"Don't worry, the car will be yours when you come back." Xu Zhiyang unfolded the map in his hand with a smile on his lips.
It was a beautiful day today, and the sunlight shone through the car window onto Xu Zhiyang's face, making his profile seem covered with a layer of light, making his already young face look even softer and more harmless.
Zhu Ci took a quick glance and then looked forward without leaving a trace.
"It seems like these zombies don't like sunlight very much." Li Huiyin said.
"Even humans don't want to go out in this kind of weather, let alone zombies or mutant animals." Xu Zhiyang glanced through the rearview mirror at the city center that was gradually moving away. It no longer had the prosperity of the past, but was devastated.
Driving to the edge of the city, Xu Zhiyang withdrew his gaze from the window.
"These houses are covered with plants. It's only been four or five days and the city has become like this. I don't know how many people can survive."
Li Huiyin sighed: "If I leave my hometown, will I be able to come back in the future?"
"Now is not the time to lament." Zhu Ci said coldly: "If you die on the road, there will be no future."
"Why do you like to curse others so much!" Li Huiyin was unhappy.
Xu Zhiyang smiled coldly, "Mr. Zhu, aren't you being too nosy? At our age, we always think about the future. It's just talk, just pretend you didn't hear it."
After saying that, Xu Zhiyang smiled harmlessly at Zhu Ci.
Li Huiyin quickly agreed, "Oh, my bad. I forgot there's a generation gap between people. After all, Mr. Zhu is older than us... eight years, right? That's quite a gap!"
Zhu Ci didn't care about the people saying that he was old, either explicitly or implicitly. He stopped paying attention to the two children and concentrated on driving.
As they were about to reach the highway entrance, Zhu Ci and Xu Zhiyang saw from a distance many green military vehicles carrying people parked on the road.
Zhu Ci stopped at the intersection and saw several fully armed soldiers getting out of a military vehicle and walking towards them. One of them knocked on the car window, and when the window was lowered, he bent down and looked at the three people.
"Where are you going?"
Zhu Ci replied: "Take the highway to the imperial capital."
"The army is heading to Hubei. Do you want to join the main force?"
Zhu Ci and Xu Zhiyang exchanged a glance, and Xu Zhiyang shrugged and said, "You decide."
Zhuci nodded to the soldier and said, "It would be great if you can, but are there any requirements?"
"No requirements, but is there anyone with special abilities among the three of you?"
Xu Zhiyang didn't want to expose Zhu Ci's special ability, and his own was even more special, so exposing it too early would be of no benefit.
So Xu Zhiyang turned around and looked at Li Huiyin.
Li Huiyin understood what he meant, puffed out her chest, and proudly said to the soldier who asked the question, "Me! I'm the only one with superpowers among the three of us! I can control metal!"
The soldier turned and said something to another soldier behind him, then turned back and smiled at the three of them, "In that case, your car will follow behind, but I hope the psychics can protect the ordinary people when danger comes."
This was nothing. Li Huiyin immediately expressed her attitude, "Don't worry! I am the flower of the motherland! I will naturally protect our compatriots! I will never back down!"
This standard answer was obviously very popular, and the soldier who asked the question stood up straight and saluted Li Huiyin.
There was obviously no need to be so vigilant when following behind the convoy, so Xu Zhiyang and Zhu Ci switched positions and took over from him.
Li Huiyin was puzzled: "Xu Xiaoyang, when did you start learning to drive behind my back?"
"I didn't." Xu Zhiyang couldn't tell anyone about his past life, so he could only lie temporarily. "I just watched how Mr. Zhu opened it, and I remembered it."
"...As expected, when God closes a door for you, he will open a window for you." Li Huiyin sighed, "Although your grades are not as good as mine, you have brains!"
Xu Zhiyang: “…”
Let’s break up!
Xu Zhiyang drove the car steadily. The convoy was not moving very fast. If there were vehicles blocking the road, the military would send people down to help clear the roadblocks.
Gunshots rang out from time to time. There were few people on both sides of the highway, so there were no zombies. The only thing to be wary of were mutated plants and animals.
"There's nothing to be afraid of about zombies. Those mutated birds are more troublesome." Xu Zhiyang once again saw a black bird circling low over the sky.
Zhu Ci observed for a while and said, "It looks like a crow."
The two were observing the crows when Xu Zhiyang suddenly stopped the car and said, "It's parked in front."
Zhuci frowned: "I'll go take a look."
Xu Zhiyang unbuckled his seat belt and said, "I'll go with you."
Congratulations: "Yes."
"Hey hey hey! Where's me?" Li Huiyin poked her head over from the back seat.
"Wait in the car. We'll come back to you if anything happens."
Xu Zhiyang got out of the car and walked forward with Zhu Ci. It was around three o'clock in the afternoon, when the temperature was at its highest in summer, but at this moment the sky was covered with dark clouds and it looked like it would rain at any time.
When he reached the front of the team, Xu Zhiyang saw that the army was arranging people to move a truck that had fallen across the road.
The soldier who was questioning them today saw Xu Zhiyang and Zhu Ci get out of the car on their own initiative and was quite friendly. "This car is difficult to move, and taking a detour is not practical. We'll stay here tonight. The last few cars have elderly people and children..."
Xu Zhiyang smiled slightly and said politely, "Don't worry, we will cooperate with the military to protect the elderly, the weak, women and children."
