Chapter 46 Heavy Rain
After the others got up one after another, they learned from Yan Chu that Xiao Huai had already left with Su Shu.
Hu Zi was a little surprised: "Why did you leave? We were almost in Yue City."
Although surprised, Hu Zi has become accustomed to it.
After all, he has experienced countless separations and reunions since the outbreak of the apocalypse.
He turned to look at Chen Qianxing. Compared to him, Chen Qianxing was the one who had the deepest relationship with Su Shu.
Chen Qianxing's expression was complicated, as if he had a thousand words to say, but in the end, they all turned into a regretful sigh.
This is Su Shu's own choice.
As a friend of Su Shu and He Fan, he has done his best.

The original plan to drive to Yue City on the same day was repeatedly delayed due to various reasons. Today is already the third day after departure.
The food they had brought with them was almost half gone, and they couldn't waste any more time here.
After discussion, everyone decided to set off after breakfast.
But today's weather is very gloomy, and the strong wind is shaking the trees on both sides of the road violently. It looks like it's going to rain heavily.
Not long after the car drove out, raindrops as big as beans began to fall down with a crackling sound.
Chen Qianxing muttered quietly, "What kind of weather is this? It hasn't rained for several months, and now it's raining heavily."
Yan Chu thought, these settings are designed to reduce your grain production and increase prices.
The rain was so heavy that it even stirred up a thin layer of mist on the ground. Even though their wipers were turned to the highest level, it still greatly affected their vision.
Their speed was also forced to slow down.
However, as soon as they slowed down, zombies attracted by the sound of the engine immediately climbed onto their car windows.
The zombies bared their sharp fangs at them through the glass, and their festering hands left sticky bloody prints on the car windows.
There was even a zombie that took advantage of the chaos and jumped onto the hood of the car. Due to the rain, the rotten flesh on its face and arms fell off in large chunks, revealing its white bones.
Yan Chu subconsciously moved away from the front window, his back pressed tightly against the backrest of the chair: "Well, why don't you drive faster?"
This is so disgusting.
After Gu Qinyuan stepped on the accelerator, these zombies were quickly left far behind.
Chen Qianxing, who had just moved to the middle of the back seat, finally breathed a sigh of relief. "I don't know how long this rain will last. Come to think of it, it rained this hard the day I escaped from the subway."
The day you escaped from the subway?
Was it the day she first entered the book?
Chen Qianxing casually chatted: "That day, many people who got caught in the rain suddenly mutated. I was scared to death at the time and thought I was going to become a zombie too. Fortunately, it's okay."
Yan Chu was stunned and looked back at him in surprise.
"Will you mutate if you get caught in the rain?"
"Yeah," Chen Qianxing thought for a moment, "the weather forecast for that day was for sunny days, but it unexpectedly started to rain heavily. I saw many people at the subway station who didn't have umbrellas and were soaked like me."
After he said that, Yan Chu also remembered.
Chen Qianxing continued, "Later, while I was waiting for the subway, I witnessed with my own eyes those people who had been caught in the rain suddenly turning into zombies one after another. Every single one of them was mutated! Every single one of them!"
Yan Chu frowned: "Are you sure?"
After all, even the original book did not mention the cause of the zombie outbreak.
Chen Qianxing nodded confidently: "I am very sure that those who were not exposed to the rain, unless they were bitten, I didn't see any mutations."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but grumble quietly, "So at one point I thought I would become like that, and I was terrified for a long time..."
Yan Chu suddenly understood why the zombies were spreading so quickly.
Moreover, many places across the country fell at the same time.
It was because of the heavy rain.
Gu Qinyuan laughed in an ambiguous tone, "You didn't mutate after getting caught in the rain, and you were able to escape from a subway station full of zombies. You are one in a million lucky guys."
Chen Qianxing: “…”
Is this a compliment to him? But why does it sound so strange?
Yan Chu recalled: "But I was also caught in the rain that day."
Chen Qianxing was stunned.
"And it's not just me," Yan Chu turned his head to look at Gu Qinyuan, "he too."
Even her first meeting with Gu Qinyuan was in the rain.
That's why she didn't notice that there was something wrong with the rain.
"So if there's one lucky winner, we have three." Yan Chu said seriously.
Chen Qianxing took a deep breath and said, "Then let me tell you another scary story. Su Shu also got caught in the rain, and she told me this herself."
Yan Chu: “…”
This probability is indeed a bit exaggerated.
At this moment, their car happened to pass by an empty gas station. Gu Qinyuan glanced at the remaining fuel tank and turned towards the gas station.
It was still raining heavily outside, but fortunately the gas station was sheltered by a roof, so it was relatively quiet and dry.
After Yan Chu opened the door and got out of the car, he saw that the gas nozzle of the gas station was thrown casually on the ground, and black oil was flowing out from the muzzle.
She picked up the gas gun on the ground and handed it to Gu Qinyuan, then walked to the convenience store at the gas station to take a look.
The door of the convenience store was wide open, and the shelves inside were tilted and empty, with only a few bags of snacks and bottles of drinks scattered on the ground.
It looks like this place has been looted.
Fortunately, there was still enough oil in the gas station, so they could still refuel their cars.
Yan Chu recalled what Chen Qianxing had just said, and while refueling, she walked over to another car to ask.
"Do you remember the heavy rain when the zombie outbreak first occurred?"
They all nodded to indicate that they remembered.
Only Hu Zi looked confused: "Ah, is that true?"
He stayed at home playing games all the time during that time and didn't pay any attention to whether it was raining or not.
Yan Chu continued to ask: "Did any of you get caught in the rain?"
Lu Yuanze had just filled up his tank, so he casually responded, "Me."
Yan Chu turned and looked at Luo Yu again.
Luo Yu shook his head: "I worked overtime until very late that day and the rain had stopped when I left the company."
