First meeting with Long Aotian
They took the remaining supplies and the equipment left by Liu Dong and drove away in the old van. The [fire] could burn the rotten meat. The house behind them was burning with flames. The survivors in the camp were nowhere to be found. Jiang Ziyao still chose to go to the toll station.
The toll booth was the nest of alien bats. When they approached, the alien bats hanging on the top of the wall looked like an open black umbrella with a pair of scarlet eyes revealed from it.
The bats' previous habits facilitated their actions. Jiang Ziyao threw two fur mines in without saying a word. After the impact of the explosion, they fired several shots. Hot weapons were no longer their only tool for survival, so they didn't need to save ammunition.
The entire toll station was almost blown into ruins. Huo Chi even added fuel to the fire and burned all the aliens. It was easier for them than to deal with these guys with physical strength, but they made a lot of noise. There were not many abandoned vehicles on the highway, so they took the remaining gasoline from the survivors and went to the next city.
Liu Dong left a lot of maps and miscellaneous tools for them in his bag. He marked important locations. Utopia is located in Tianhai City, only Huaiyang City away from here.
The only information that made him curious was that there was also a red circle around Guangqin City with the words "Lost Land" written on it, which seemed to be a warning.
Jiang Ziyao put away his things, sat in the passenger seat, and saw a black sedan on the road through the car window.
[——Text: A sudden show of goodwill will only make people alert. I saw the equipment of those two men, including guns and bombs. Huo Chi has consumed too much, so it is not suitable for him to engage in another tough battle now.
The man said his name was Li Liang and he was an alien. All his other companions were buried in the alien's nest. This reminded me of the infected person who had just been dealt with. He spoke with regret, but I didn't see any regret on his face.
Li Liang obviously had enough firepower, so such casualties shouldn't have happened. He was laughing. I knew they were not suitable to be companions, but we needed to leave the city, so we agreed.
Almost all the survivors knew about the place called Utopia. Our destination was the same. People like to find each other's weaknesses. He was asking about our background between the lines. I pretended not to notice and revealed that I was an ordinary person.
He believed it.
I seemed to admire Huo Chi very much, which made him think that I was a dodder that depended on Huo Chi. Li Liang specifically asked his companions to keep an eye on me. He wanted to use Huo Chi's special ability to help him clear obstacles. We took advantage of the situation and were not worried that the other party would suddenly trip us up. After all, we were using each other. When we arrived in Huaiyang City, it was time to part ways.
In the doomsday, there are no friends, only competitors for survival.
We walked into Xiyang Road. There were very few zombies here and they were almost invisible. This was not right. Huo Chi and I felt that the time had come.
We wanted to take action, but someone got there before us.
They are not just people, but a group. There are four of them. They suddenly appeared and stopped us, relying not on bullets but on super powers.
Li Liang opened his mouth and said some threatening words. It happened too suddenly. A knife pierced his head directly. This was a speed far beyond that of humans. The opponent's strength should not be underestimated. It was like a well-trained special team. Li Liang's companion picked up a gun in fear, and his end was the same as Li Liang's. 】
He is now even more certain that the text is the path that Jiang Ziyao took in 3908.
Jiang Ziyao lit a cigarette and casually rested his arm on the window, letting the wind from outside blow in. He didn't smoke often, and with the cigarette between his fingers he looked like a melancholy and ruffian young man. The smoke he exhaled was blown away by the wind outside the car, it would be even better if it could take away all his troubles and misfortunes.
His eyes fell on the magazine at his feet. The model was dressed very similar to Liu Dong, like a cowboy.
Jiang Ziyao said to himself, it doesn’t matter, they will reach Utopia together.
Utopia is the paradise in the minds of countless survivors, and they also want to find out.
Huo Chi was very excited while driving. He said that he had finally realized his dream of taking a road trip with Jiang Ziyao. However, he was not happy for long, as the middle section of the highway was blocked by abandoned zombie cars, and the car could not pass through, so they had to abandon the vehicle. Jiang Ziyao took the necessary maps and Huo Chi carried a gun on his shoulder, so they got out of the car and walked.
There were zombies wandering on the road, and it was not difficult for Huo Chi and Jiang Ziyao to deal with them. Huo Chi had a cloth tied on his fist, and he always rushed to the front, and when necessary, he would smash their heads with his fists.
Jiang Ziyao and his companion took three days to reach the urban area of Huaiyang City.
The streets were littered with corpses and scrapped vehicles. Some cars were combusting in the high temperature. The flames did not attract zombies because all the zombies nearby had been killed. There were no bullet shells on the ground, and it was not bullets that crushed their brains.
There had been a major purge here, and Jiang Ziyao thought it was probably the work of that alien team. He looked at the map and deliberately chose Dongyang Road. Not confronting that team was the choice he made at this time.
But the situation in Dongyang Road was not so peaceful either, as the smoke of war was rising.
Jiang Ziyao saw two men. One of them was wearing a black cloak. He was a middle-aged man and the one with the strongest attack. The other one was very young and neither was short. They relied on their supernatural powers to fight and moved very quickly.
Jiang Ziyao and the other man didn't have time to hide their steps and were directly exposed to the other party's sight. The young man frowned and glanced over. He was alert and had been injured.
[——Text: The man killed two people in a row. When he was about to do more, he was stopped by the woman next to him. They were arguing, and I heard from them that this person was their target this time.
Bian Chengsi, the first time we met we both became fugitives avoiding being hunted down. Before I got to know this person, I treated him with the utmost indifference and hostility, so much so that I did not lend a helping hand when he was at a disadvantage. Even though we had achieved a brief cooperation, I decided to separate from him. After some twists and turns, we still became friends.
Regarding this friend, I can best describe his experience as Long Aotian's life of upgrading. 】
Long Aotian?
What's the cheat for the upgraded male protagonist in the novel?
【——Text: Gene sequence 68, lightning. 】
【Elemental system.】
【Level: Low level. 】
It's just that Bian Chengsi's lightning power was slightly restricted by his level. He was knocked to the ground, gritting his teeth and refusing to admit defeat, showing the vitality of a cockroach.
He should be about to upgrade. Long Aotian always has a chance to turn the tables when he is in desperate situations. Jiang Ziyao quickly said, "Help me, cover me, and run away if you can't beat him."
"Who?" Huo Chi was surprised.
Jiang Ziyao didn't wait for him to ask any questions, and pushed him first: "Save the handsome one, quickly!"
Huo Chi said "oh".
Jiang Ziyao first used his gun to attract the opponent's attention, while Huo Chi jumped up, climbed over the truck and rushed forward. He spread his arms and a ball of fire spurted out from the tips of his crossed palms.
The man opposite was forced to take two steps back: "Who are you!"
Huo Chi yelled back: "Your father!"
The other party was obviously stunned and fell silent. He was probably angry.
Jiang Ziyao came to the side of Bian Chengsi, who was panting and looking up at him. When he got closer, he saw that he looked like a young tall boy.
Jiang Ziyao half-knelt and glanced at him: "Are you okay?"
[——Text: At first, I thought he was a lonely and cold capable man, but after getting to know him, I realized that he was actually a cold-faced kid with a proper mouth but a mean heart. Any strong enthusiasm could break the barrier in his heart. He has justice in his heart and was once a favored young master.
It was just that the end of the world destroyed his wealthy life and made him fall from the clouds to the dust. He took his father's letter to find his fiancée. In the future, when he decided to leave and become a lonely wanderer in the wasteland after going through hardships, I thought, I should have held his hand at the beginning to meet this friend. 】
The words touched Jiang Ziyao a little. He extended his hand to Bian Chengsi in a friendly manner, "Do you need help?"
However, the protagonist Long Aotian did not accept his kindness. He did not move at all, and there was even a flash of lightning between his palms. He even raised his guard openly, and his face was as cold and heartless as described.
With the advance knowledge, Jiang Ziyao is like holding a strategy book in his hand. Sorry, I have to interrupt you while you are upgrading alone. This favor must be sold to you in advance.
There was an explosion behind him. Jiang Ziyao knew without looking back that it was Huo Chi who set the car on fire. The combat environment here was like a powder keg for his supernatural powers.
The man was isolated behind the wall of fire. His actions were interrupted by Jiang Ziyao and Huo Chi who appeared, so he did not act rashly again.
"Go!" Huo Chi rushed over from the thick smoke caused by the explosion.
Jiang Ziyao directly helped Bian Chengsi up and said, "I won't harm you. Just follow us."
Bian Chengsi didn't say anything. He just stared at Jiang Ziyao.
They took advantage of the thick smoke to sneak away. There was only one opponent, so he didn't chase them fiercely. They rescued him smoothly and ran for a while before hiding in the building complex.
"Who are you?" Bian Chengsi's body was tense. He had many scratches and knife wounds on his body. Although his injuries were not serious, he looked embarrassed.
Jiang Ziyao didn't answer, but just looked at him deliberately: "Shouldn't you take the initiative to announce your home at this time? The man's moves just now were all aimed at your vital points. He wanted to kill you. What did you do wrong?"
Bian Chengsi sneered twice: "I don't know who that person is, but he really wants to kill me."
Jiang Ziyao raised his eyebrows: "You don't know him?"
Bian Chengsi said with great emphasis: "I want to know who wants to kill me more than you do—!"
"Really?"
Hearing Jiang Ziyao's suspicious tone, Bian Chengsi suddenly became angry: "If you don't believe me, why did you save me?"
"No." Jiang Ziyao smiled softly. His eyes were impeccable. "I have always believed in my judgment."
He took out a medicine from his bag and threw it into Bian Chengsi's hand: "This will be useful for your wound, use it."
Huo Chi's eyes widened: "Brother Jiang?"
Even Bian Chengsi was choked. He was puzzled, and his initial suspicion and anger turned into silence.
Jiang Ziyao said calmly: "Jiang Ziyao, my name is Huo Chi."
Huo Chi responded with a frown.
Jiang Ziyao extended his hand again: "Would you like to get to know me?"
Bian Chengsi hesitated for a while, and finally shook his hand: "Bian Chengsi."
Jiang Ziyao smiled with satisfaction. It seemed that the future Mr. Long Aotian was still a cocky little brat now.
