Chapter 9 Red Snow Comes Again
"Thank you for your cooperation."
Xu Zhiyang nodded: "It should be."
Xu Zhiyang was relieved that nothing was wrong. When he returned to the car, the army had already arranged for the people to get off the car and get their own food.
"This is the first time I've seen so many people since the apocalypse."
Xu Zhiyang saw that everyone was pale and thin, with disheveled hair and dirty faces, and expressions of panic and fear appeared on their faces. Some people even trembled violently at the slightest noise.
Zhu Ci beside him said coldly: "After the end of the world, only those with special abilities can live long."
There are many people with special abilities in the team, of all kinds. Some can directly mutate into birds, some have speed or special abilities, and some can directly transform into mutant animals.
"This kind should be called an 'alien.'" Zhu Ci pointed at the woman who had a pair of large wings appearing on her back and was flying into the air to check the road conditions.
Xu Zhiyang naturally knew, "Aliens, did they eat the flesh of mutant animals?"
Zhuci: "Not sure, maybe."
Xu Zhiyang: "Then you and Huiyin should be people with special abilities."
Zhu Ci shifted his gaze to Xu Zhiyang's face, stared at his slightly immature face for a while, and then he discovered that there was a small mole at the end of Xu Zhiyang's eyebrow.
Zhu Ci asked: "What about you, which one do you belong to?"
"I don't know." Xu Zhiyang's canine fangs were exposed when he smiled, and his face looked harmless. "I'll ask my brother when we get to the capital. He should be able to explain it to me."
Before evening, the black clouds in the sky had piled up into a whole piece, like a thick piece of iron, gradually sinking to the ground.
The army was already at the front, using loudspeakers to urge everyone to get on the bus quickly.
However, the people did not take it seriously, and some people even gathered in a small puddle outside the highway railing to wash.
"It's good that it's raining! It's so hot, it's cool to get wet!"
"Who says it's not? These officers are just too nervous!"
"Let's wash ours. There are still so many people who haven't gotten on the bus yet. There's no rush."
The people by the pond looked indifferent and seemed like people with special abilities.
At this moment, something happened up ahead. A sharp female voice rang out. Xu Zhiyang looked over and saw only a group of people gathered around. She couldn't see what was happening.
Zhu Ci said, "I'll go take a look."
"Um."
Zhu Ci was gone for a long time before coming back. Seeing that the noise was still going on over there, Xu Zhiyang frowned and walked over to pat Li Huiyin who was cooking noodles nearby.
"What's wrong? Are you hungry? It will be ready in a while!" Li Huiyin was squatting on the ground stirring the noodles in a disposable pot with chopsticks.
Xu Zhiyang was also impressed by this girl. She was able to bring a pot and a small stove with her while escaping. She said helplessly, "Don't cook. Just take the noodles with you and get in the car."
Seeing that his expression was not right, Li Huiyin stood up and asked, "What's wrong? Is something going to happen?"
Xu Zhiyang glanced at Zhu Ci beside him and said, "I have that bad feeling again. Last time it was about mutant rats, but this time... I don't know what it is."
Zhu Ci sneered, "Is this one of your abilities? Is it comparable to a girl's sixth sense?"
Xu Zhiyang: “…”
Li Huiyin poured the noodles into a large instant noodle bowl, covered it with a lid, and said, "Okay, I'll go to the car. You two should come and have some."
Watching Li Huiyin close the car door, Xu Zhiyang sneezed when a sudden cool breeze blew, and then realized that the temperature was wrong.
Zhu Ci also noticed it and pulled out a small thermometer from the interlayer of his backpack. "The temperature is dropping!"
Xu Zhiyang suddenly looked up and saw that the dark clouds in the sky had begun to turn faintly red at some point!
Xu Zhiyang felt a chill in his spine and suddenly grabbed Zhu Ci's arm, "It's going to snow! Red snow!"
As if in response to Xu Zhiyang's words, a loud thunder suddenly sounded and lightning split the entire sky.
Zhu Ci grabbed Xu Zhiyang's wrist and said, "Get in the car! I'll go notify everyone!"
The speed of the wind-powered user was not to be underestimated, so Xu Zhiyang naturally wouldn't catch up and fall behind. Zhu Ci ran to the front in just a few steps.
Xu Zhiyang shouted, "Get back to the car! The clouds are turning red! The temperature is dropping abnormally! Red snow is about to fall!"
This statement caused an uproar, and both ordinary people and those with special abilities rushed back to the car.
The military also used a loudspeaker to notify everyone over and over again, asking everyone to put down their belongings, quickly return to the car, close the windows and doors, and not get out of the car without orders!
Xu Zhiyang opened the car door and got in. Before she sat down, she heard Li Huiyin slurping noodles in the back seat, eating with relish.
He slowly turned around. Li Huiyin was stunned by his gaze, her cheeks puffed up, and she looked innocent. "What, what's wrong?"
"It's okay. I get hungry when I see you eating." Xu Zhiyang replied with a smile.
Li Huiyin quickly passed the bowl, which was as big as a basin, to Xu Zhiyang's mouth, "Come and eat the noodles. They are so fragrant. I put a lot of chili in them."
Xu Zhiyang actually lowered his head and took a few bites from her hand, then waved his hand: "I'm not really hungry. I won't be hungry if I don't consume energy."
Li Huiyin looked envious and continued to slurp, "Ever since I got my superpowers, I've been very hungry. Especially when I use my superpowers, I feel so hungry that I want to vomit."
Xu Zhiyang nodded, "That's good, you are slowly advancing."
On their way out of Jincheng, Zhu Ci and Li Huiyin hunted some smaller mutant animals and plants with the same attributes, and then they would gain the energy from the bodies of the animals and plants, thereby slowly advancing.
If you hunt more powerful animals and plants, you will have more energy.
"But eating too much won't make you fat, which is really good!"
Li Huiyin continued to eat noodles happily.
Xu Zhiyang looked out the car window with some worry. The direction of this life was very different from the previous one, and he was afraid that Zhu Ci would have an accident.
Whoever wants to come can come. Zhu Ci walked to the car, opened the door and got in. "The snow has started to fall. Everyone get in the car."
"Yeah." Xu Zhiyang saw a red snowflake falling on the car window, melting, and flowing down like a drop of blood.
As more snow fell, Xu Zhiyang knew that she was not the only one who was frightened.
This red snow made humans watch as the people around them turned into bloodthirsty and flesh-eating monsters.
Li Huiyin had lost her appetite, but she forced herself to finish a bowl of noodles, then handed the other bowl to Zhu Ci, "Brother, have some."
Congratulations: "Thank you."
After waiting for him to finish eating, Xu Zhiyang asked in a low voice, "What happened over there just now?"
"It was a girl. It looked like someone had dirty hands in her car."
Zhu Ci didn't care that there were two minors around him and said directly, "She said someone was harassing her, and her only relative was pushed into a pile of zombies by the harasser while fleeing, and he's gone."
"Fuck, scumbag." Li Huiyin spat. "What did the military say?"
Zhu Ci frowned, "The one who harassed that girl is a mutant."
Before he finished speaking, Xu Zhiyang understood. He sneered, "So now that people with special abilities are so important, they're just turning a blind eye?"
"Not really. The military warned that person and transferred him to another car. Now, the loss of a mutant is a loss for ordinary people."
Xu Zhiyang was not in a good mood. She looked out the car window with some irritation. She saw that the snow was getting heavier and heavier. The whole car seemed to be soaked in blood. She could hardly see anything outside the window.
