The car was shaking a bit on the road, and the heavy engine noise could not cover up the suppressed breathing and silence of the driver.
Zhang Ao, Wang Xingchen and ten other special-ability warriors slumped in the bed of the leading pickup truck, their combat uniforms soaked with sweat and stains, and each of their faces was filled with an unrelieved sense of frustration.
He Song sighed: "We... are so weak!"
Wang Xingguang wiped his face fiercely and sneered self-deprecatingly, "Who said it wasn't true? When we set out this morning, I saw Captain Chi and his men bringing a half-grown child with them. I was wondering, 'We're not going out to look for supplies, we're not playing house, why would we bring a kid who's holding us back?'
The result? A slap in the face! The kid is so amazing! Killing zombies is like chopping melons and vegetables! After all this fuss, I'm the one holding back the most!
Tang Ci'en hugged his knees and said, "Little brother, that's so handsome! But...that Lu sister is also very handsome! Did you pay attention when we were retreating just now?
Such a big parking lot... so many trucks and boxes... all empty! What do you think, Sister Lu has two powers... is the wind power more powerful, or the space power?"
Li Jia: "It should be a spaceship? Yu Wei, the second-level spaceship in our base, seems to be only a little over a hundred... a little over a hundred can't collect so many trucks, right?"
Chi Qi: "Miss Lu's Wind Power is her main combat ability. She said her Space Power... is only level three."
"Brother Chi Qi, what do you mean by only level three?" Tang Ci'en collapsed as if all his strength had been drained. "This is too depressing... Level three actually has the word 'talent'?"
Chi Qi: "I used the wrong words, what I meant was - compared to the space ability, Miss Lu's wind ability is of a higher level!"
Tang Ci'en: "I think so too. On the way here, Sister Lu was sitting in the back seat. She raised her hand and gently waved it - the heads of those low-level zombies outside fell down in large numbers like wheat being harvested by a sickle! It must be that Feng Qi's ability level is higher..."
Sun Shiyin: "Alas... I'm envious, but I have no talent, a complete loser! It took me so long to deal with those low-level zombies just now..."
Zhang Ao and Wang Xingchen remained silent, without any discussion. Their clenched fists and tense jawlines betrayed the turbulent waves in their hearts.
The two of them had the same idea in their minds—[Surprisingly... I can't even beat a child!]
Wang Xingguang: "Brother, don't dwell on it. There are differences between people, and you have to admit it... If you accept that you are just an ordinary person sooner, maybe you can live a happier life."
Wang Xingchen: "This is the end of the world! The end of the world is ordinary, and it will take our lives! Today we are lucky, we have Team Chi and the others to support us! What about next time? What about the next time? Can we survive by being 'ordinary'? We must become stronger, at least not to hold others back!"
Li Jia: "Wang Xingchen is right. If we hadn't held them back, Team Chi would have definitely taken over the logistics park today!"
Li Jia's words poured over everyone's head, making the atmosphere in the truck bed even more solemn.
Silence fell again...
After a long moment, Zhang Ao suddenly raised his head. "You've all seen this along the way... Captain Chi and his group don't even need to speak to each other. With just a glance or a gesture, they know what the other person is going to do. They're as tacitly connected as one."
He paused, then continued, "Captain Chi formed us into a small group today. We're no match for Captain Chi and the others, so can we... just stick together and go out together in the future, actively looking for zombies to train with?"
He Song: "That's right! We can team up and go out on our own! We won't go into the danger zone, but just clean up the lone zombies outside the base! The more actual combat, the stronger we will become! Even if we can't compare to Captain Chi and the others, we will at least be much stronger than the average survivors! At least... at least we won't be as embarrassed as we were today!"
"What do you think?" Zhang Ao looked at everyone one by one with a questioning look.
Wang Xingchen: "I have no objection..."
"I can!"
"That's fine with me!"
