Chapter 143 Delusion: She's so cute [9]
At first, Xu Da drove the minibus in front.
But once on the highway, the car driven by Chen Wang moved to the front.
The minibus was second in line, with Maiya and Zhang Jingzhu following behind in their car.
The situation on the highway was not good either, with rear-end collisions and accident vehicles visible everywhere.
Some of the car doors were open, and inside either sat zombies who were buckled in their seatbelts and unable to leave, or zombies were clinging to the car door and eating the people inside.
The car carrying the deluded drove past those cars.
Hearing the noise, the zombie turned its head and saw the human who had been gnawed down to his ribs.
The car sped past, and the zombie chased after it for a couple of steps before being hit and thrown away by the car behind.
Chen Wang and his car didn't stop until 6 p.m., when a service area sign appeared on the road ahead.
Shen Wang picked up the walkie-talkie and notified Xu Da and the others to go to the service area.
Although they are in good spirits and could drive for several more hours without any problem, driving at night would be very dangerous.
Not only are zombies more dangerous than during the day, but there are also some mutated animals that are active at night.
Therefore, they try to avoid traveling at night unless absolutely necessary.
After walking five kilometers, they arrived at the service area.
This service area isn't very big, but it has all the necessary facilities.
The parking lot had only a few cars parked there, which meant there shouldn't be many zombies here.
Chen Wang and his companions drove to the gas station, planning to spend the night at the Easy Joy convenience store there.
The car stopped in front of the convenience store. Chen Wang turned around and said to A Chu, "Don't get out of the car yet. Let's clear out the zombies first."
Achu nodded obediently.
Then Shen Wang spoke into the walkie-talkie to Xu Da and Lin Xiangheng in the minibus behind, saying, "Except for Dr. Wang, everyone else should get off the bus with weapons to clear out the zombies, otherwise there will be no food."
Shen Wang agreed to bring those people along, but he had no intention of treating them like royalty.
No pain, no gain.
The medical students in the minibus behind heard Lin Xiangheng's retelling. Some felt it was the right thing to do, while others were less willing.
"Why should we go down and kill zombies? If we dared to kill zombies, would we be hiding in the school all day?"
"Exactly! And we're so tired and hungry, where would we get the energy!"
As Lin Xiangheng listened to the people's complaints and protests, his smile only deepened, and he appeared to be very good-natured.
"Those who don't want to go down to kill zombies are free to choose not to go; it's a voluntary act."
"However, since others risked their lives to clear out the zombies, those who didn't go down to clear them shouldn't be given any of the food found in this service area. I think everyone agrees, right?"
Those who were willing to go down and clear out the zombies naturally had no objections and felt that this was the right thing to do.
But those who were unwilling to go down and clear out the zombies had a lot of complaints.
Some people continued to protest, but this time, without Lin Xiangheng having to speak, those who were willing to go down and clear the zombies started arguing with them.
Finally, some people wavered and chose to go down and help clear out the zombies.
However, some people did not believe that Chen Wang would really do something like withholding food from them, and insisted on not continuing.
Besides Dr. Wang, there were 28 other people who came out of the medical school this time.
There were 23 medical students, one dormitory supervisor, two cafeteria ladies, and two girls who went to the school to see their boyfriends.
Eight people refused to get out of the vehicle to clear the zombies.
The remaining twenty people followed Lin Xiangheng and the others out of the car to clear out the zombies.
These people are indeed very weak.
Compared to Chen Wang and his group who could take down a zombie in one go, those people either needed several people to work together to kill a single zombie, or it took one person several hits to kill a zombie.
Occasionally, while they were killing zombies, they also had to keep an eye on the others.
The service area was in chaos, filled with the roars of zombies and the occasional screams of fear from humans.
More than half an hour later, the zombies in the service area were cleared out, and no one who got off to fight the zombies was injured.
Chen Wang told Lin Xiangheng and the others to take people to the supermarket in the service area to get food, while he himself walked towards A Chu.
He opened the car door for Achu and looked at her, saying, "Get out."
"good."
Achu got out of the car and stood in front of Chenwang.
Shen Wang lowered his eyes and looked at A Chu.
Achu also looked up, her bright almond-shaped eyes gazing at him.
The little girl had fallen asleep on the way, so her neatly tied ponytail had come loose, and some stray hairs were still messy around her cheeks.
Chen Wang twitched his fingers, refraining from lifting them to tidy up A Chu's messy hair.
He only said, "Your hair is messy, fix it."
Ah Chu said "oh," raised her hand and pulled off the hair tie in her hair, then used both hands to rummage around and re-tied it into a low ponytail.
As Chen Wang watched her comb her hair, he spoke to A Chu in a voice only the two of them could hear: "Later, I'll take you to collect your things and put them in your space."
Ah Chu blinked, then immediately adopted a sneaky demeanor and whispered, "Okay, we can't let anyone see, right?"
Chen Wang's expression was serious and solemn: "Well, it's best not to let others see it."
In my mind: ...She's so cute!
After Achu finished combing her hair, Chen Wang took her to the restaurant.
Everyone else was busy in the supermarket getting water and food, as well as clothes and daily necessities.
Lin Xiangheng told them that all of these should be put together and then distributed later.
Of course, it's only allocated to those who get off the vehicle and kill zombies.
Although some people may not have killed a single zombie.
Chen Wang led A Chu to the restaurant.
It's been seven or eight days since the apocalypse began, and the food left outside has long since spoiled.
Because of the power outage, the frozen food in the refrigerator is also inedible.
However, besides these, there are also rice, flour, cooking oil, and seasonings that can be used.
Shenwang then asked Achu to store these things in his space.
After Ah Chu finished with one house, he went to the next.
As Achu collected the items, she occasionally spoke to Chen Wang.
"Brother Chenwang, is there no one alive in this service area?"
As Shen Wang was bending down to look for something, he heard the word "brother" and felt a tingling sensation creep up from his tailbone.
He straightened up and looked back at Achu.
Achu blinked her big eyes, waiting for his answer.
Shen Wang pursed his lips and tried to answer in a normal tone, "Yeah, I didn't see any living people. Those who were alive should have all driven away."
Ah Chu said "oh" and reached out to collect the bag of flour that Chen Wang had just found.
The two of them took everything they could from the restaurant. Chen Wang asked her, "How much more can you fit in your space?"
Achu gestured roughly to Chenwang.
Having figured things out, Shen Wang took A Chu to the car repair shop in the service area.
After all, the journey to Beijing is long, and if the car breaks down on the way, it will definitely need to be repaired or have parts replaced.
He knew a little about these things, but Xu Da was the one who excelled at them.
Knowing that those car parts were necessities, Shenwang took them out and had Achu put them into his spatial storage.
When it was almost time, Chen Wang took A Chu back to the Easy Joy convenience store at the gas station.
Lin Xiangheng and his group have also gathered the supplies and arrived here.
All the shelves in the Easy Joy convenience store were cleared out, leaving the entire store empty and spacious.
The supplies they had collected were piled up in the middle, and Lin Xiangheng was leading some people to sort and organize them so they could be distributed later.
Everyone had already gotten off the bus, including Dr. Wang and the eight who refused to get off to kill the zombies; they were all in the convenience store.
Upon seeing Chen Wang and A Chu, Yue Tingsong, who was on guard against the sudden appearance of zombies, greeted them.
"Boss, Mianmian, where did you go just now?"
Before Chen Wang could speak, A Chu said somewhat shyly, "Brother Chen Wang accompanied me to the restroom."
When they returned, Chen Wang did accompany A Chu to the restroom, and A Chu's statement seemed reasonable.
Yue Tingsong looked at Chen Wang with a shocked expression.
Chen Wang remained expressionless and asked, "Are you sure all the zombies have been cleared out?"
Yue Tingsong replied, "It's been confirmed, and it's been cleaned up."
After answering, Yue Tingsong couldn't help but look at his boss with a hint of teasing.
However, he didn't say anything.
He pretended not to see it.
He turned his head and told Achu to go find Maiya and the others, while he went to Lin Xiangheng's side.
