Sister...you actually have over a hundred starting energy points.
We're all in the same boat, and the system is finally willing to be a little more honest.
Chu Xinxin already had a general understanding of how to use energy.
"Can you restore the engine immediately?"
Taking advantage of Chu Xinxin's current dazed state, the system arbitrarily raised the price: [Okay, 5 cars will cost 10 energy points.]
"no problem!"
David tried one last time, and the engine started!
David floored the accelerator, and the zombies were thrown off.
Now!
Alice let the reconnaissance electronic fly-eye out through the crack in the window.
Just as I was about to roll up the car window, a zombie reeking of decay tried to pry open the glass with both hands, attempting to get in.
Alice jumped onto the chair and, with all her might, snapped the zombie's hand off with a "crack".
"Awesome." David gave her a thumbs up. "Someone like you is at the very bottom of the matchmaking market. Just wait for the base to assign you a place."
Alice scoffed, "Does being assigned necessarily mean you're in the worst position? Look at Professor Chu and the General..."
As if a switch had been flipped, the carriage, which had just caught its breath, became heavy again.
Alice couldn't help but look at Chu Xinxin, who was leaning against the carriage, staring into the void, lost in thought.
The low-level zombies are slow-moving; as long as the armored vehicle breaks through the encirclement, they will be safe!
"Lieutenant, there's a cliff ahead!"
The surveillance cameras transmitted back footage showing that at the end of their road was a cliff hundreds of feet deep.
The next second, David's armored vehicle burst out of the horde of zombies and came to an emergency stop at the edge of a cliff.
They were just a hair's breadth away from falling.
The distance between this cliff and the opposite side is about thirty meters.
Chu Xinxin's eyes flickered as she recalled the hole Si Beiting had smashed in the medicine storehouse.
"Put me down."
Chu Xinxin gripped her medicine box tightly and told them about the system's guesses.
“Professor Chu, putting aside the orders from above to protect you, the barrier agent in this medicine kit was obtained after we went through countless hardships and even sacrificed two of our lives…” David paused, then continued, “In short, I disagree with this.”
"I have written down the raw materials used in the new adhesive. As long as I have the tools, I can replicate it in a day."
"That won't work either. The city lord is still waiting for these vials of reagents to save his life."
Chu Xinxin fell silent.
"If the general were here, he would surely have a way..."
A young-looking boy said in a low voice.
As the horde of zombies drew closer behind the car, David made a snap decision to send the car and its inhabitants there together.
"Everyone, throw away anything unnecessary, then gather in vehicles 1 through 4. I'll take you there!"
David plans to use car number 5 to ram the other four cars; as long as he has enough power, the thirty-meter distance will not be a problem.
Alice grabbed his hand and asked, "And you?"
"I'll cover your retreat!" David pulled her hand away, got into the car cleanly and efficiently, and locked the door.
Alice, who had been holding back her tears all the way, finally broke down in tears.
In this situation, David did not stay behind to cover their retreat, but instead gave his life to ensure their safety.
"Wait a moment!"
Chu Xinxin rushed to David's car and stopped him: "There's an airplane in the sky!"
"Lieutenant David, our electronic reconnaissance system has detected a helicopter... There are people on board!"
It's Si Beiting!
The horde of zombies was drawn upwards by the loud roar.
Chu Xinxin lunged at Alice: "Alice, take me to the roof of the car!"
The helicopter flew right up to us.
Si Beiting poked his head out of the driver's seat and shouted something at them.
The sound was too loud for Chu Xinxin to hear.
She kept gesturing for Si Beiting to take her medicine box away.
"Professor Chu, I apologize."
Among the superpowered individuals, a young man with the ability of "spider" bent down, hoisted Chu Xinxin onto his shoulder, lifted her medicine box, and shot several thin threads at the helicopter with his other hand. The next second, the two of them and the medicine box were lifted into the air.
The helicopter immediately turned around and returned the way it came.
The zombies paused for a moment, then all turned around and chased after the helicopter.
The zombies retreated like a tide, and David and the others collapsed to the ground.
"Damn it, Si Beiting's act has backfired again!"
......
The helicopter carried the zombies around several hills before completely shaking them off and heading to meet up with David.
"Where did you find this helicopter?"
David circled the helicopter twice, then checked the fuel gauge. Seeing the fuel consumption, he felt extremely distressed. If that fuel were used on an armored vehicle, it could have driven so many laps.
Si Beiting only does these wasteful things.
"On the rooftop of the building behind the hospital."
Si Beiting patted the dust off his shoulders: "There's nothing I can do, the chosen one is just that awesome."
Surrounded by a horde of zombies, he managed to break through the encirclement and even rescued the people who had already left.
David wanted to retort, but before he could even open his mouth, he saw Chu Xinxin looking in their direction.
"Don't get cocky yet, I have something to tell you."
David moved closer to Si Beiting: "Professor Chu must have felt really guilty for not being able to pick you up. He was unconscious for two days and kept talking in his sleep."
Si Beiting didn't know that.
Chu Xinxin acted quite normally in the helicopter, except that she kept clutching her medicine box tightly.
Si Beiting raised an eyebrow and deliberately chose to sit next to Chu Xinxin when he got into the car.
"Professor Chu, would you like to know how I escaped from the medicine storeroom?"
Si Beiting propped his head up with one hand and rested the other on his knee, smiling as he asked Chu Xinxin.
Chu Xinxin's expression appeared indifferent, but the sudden tightening of her grip on her clothes revealed that her inner state was not as calm as her face suggested.
She said calmly, "It's good that you're back safe and sound."
The process doesn't matter, it just won't be easy.
Si Beiting chuckled: "You must want to know whether the door to the medicine storehouse was closed or not, right?"
Sure enough, Chu Xinxin turned to look at him.
This discriminatory treatment...
Si Beiting looked at Chu Xinxin with regret: "You know that gold is the element I'm worst at mastering, right?"
So... the door wasn't closed?
Chu Xinxin: "It's okay..."
"Hehe, even though it's the worst, I still welded it shut!"
Chu Xinxin: ......
"I also reinstalled the electronic doors and welded them all in place!" Si Beiting leaned closer to Chu Xinxin. "Since I did such a good job, Professor Chu, could you occasionally reply to my messages when we get back to the base?"
The AI can only be used at the base.
Chu Xinxin turned her head away somewhat awkwardly: "Didn't you say... you would just look at my posts on WeChat Moments and wouldn't bother me unless it was important?"
The information in Chu Xin's mind never stopped, day after day.
"Anything related to you is important."
Si Beiting said it as if it were the most natural thing in the world, then added quietly to himself, "Thinking of you is also an important matter."
Chu Xinxin pretended not to hear.
For some reason, Si Beiting also quieted down.
The armored vehicles are still advancing and will soon be back at base.
Chu Xinxin got sleepy after sitting for a while.
Just as she was about to fall asleep, Si Beiting picked up her coat, which had slipped off, and put it back on her.
Chu Xinxin suddenly remembered that the clothes belonged to Si Beiting.
She opened her eyes and happened to meet Si Beiting's gaze, who was standing very close to her.
He was looking at her...
Si Beiting was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and asked, "Not asleep?"
"Um."
"Go to sleep."
Si Beiting let her lean on his shoulder: "Professor Chu, you're sure to have a good dream tonight."
