Mu Wenxi didn't ask Qin Lun about his past, and Qin Lun didn't seem to want to talk about it either. For him, it was a deep and unforgettable pain that he couldn't express.
Mu Wenxi said softly, "I can't imagine how much pain you were in back then."
After a long silence, Qin Lun finally spoke: "Thanks to them, I have another chance. Although I am now in such a grotesque state, I still have a chance for revenge."
Mu Wenxi: "Will this world ever get better?"
Qin Lun did not answer.
Driven by a thirst for revenge, Mu Wenxi went up to the sixth floor one morning to say goodbye to his grandmother and Xiaoxing.
"Grandma, Xiaoxing, Qin Lun and I are going somewhere else. We still have grudges to settle. Now that Xiaoxing's strength has increased, there are fewer and fewer zombies in this city, making it safer than before. You can hold on for a long time until the day of rescue."
Xiao Xing, holding Mu Wenxi's hand, looked up and asked, "Sister, where are you going?"
Mu Wenxi answered truthfully, glancing at Qin Lun on his shoulder: "Northeast, there are my and his enemies there."
Grandma was silent for a moment before asking, "When do you plan to leave?"
Mu Wenxi: "I'll leave this afternoon."
Grandma nodded and said goodbye to them. Xiaoxing ran over and hugged Mu Wenxi's waist: "Sister, Qin Lun, you have to be careful."
Mu Wenxi nodded, turned and left. After packing his things, he left enough food to last a long time at the door of his grandmother and Xiaoxing's room before leaving.
Hearing the noise, Grandma opened the door and saw a bag full of food, all of which Mu Wenxi had found. Grandma sighed, "There are still such silly girls these days."
Mu Wenxi and Qin Lun planned to find a car, but as soon as they stepped out of the hotel, they heard shouts behind them.
Xiao Xing: "Sister!"
Mu Wenxi turned around and saw her grandmother and Xiaoxing walking towards her with the bag of food she had left behind.
Little Xing beamed with joy: "Sister!"
Grandma: "You won't look down on my old bones, will you?"
Mu Wenxi was very happy and made up her mind to protect them: "Of course I don't mind."
The four of them left the hotel as usual, but this time they were about to embark on a new journey.
Thanks to their tireless search for supplies and constant vigilance, they quickly found a suitable off-road vehicle. They set off to a gas station to fill up the tank, and also filled a few buckets to store in the trunk for later use, while also hiding a few more buckets in the cargo space.
Grandma and Xiaoxing sat in the back seat, Qin Lun squatted on the passenger seat, and Mu Wenxi spread out a map in front of them: "Our ultimate destination is the Northeast. You said before that Xiaoxing's parents are also in the Northeast?"
Grandma: "Yes, there has been no news since then."
Mu Wenxi: "Then we'll roughly follow this route, passing through these cities along the way, and finally arriving in the Northeast. We'll have to ask around there to find out which city we'll go to. In the meantime, we'll look for people as we set off, and once we find a suitable place, we can spend the night there, how about that?"
Grandma: "No objection."
Xiao Xing: "I'll listen to my sister."
Mu Wenxi: "Then let's set off."
The car drove northeast, out of the city. There weren't many zombies on the highway, just like before. Mu Wenxi stepped on the gas and sped along the road at 120 mph.
As they approached the toll station in the neighboring province, it was covered in cobwebs, indicating that no one had been there for a long time. Mu Wenxi slowed down and drove slowly into the city, where there was water and food, and the number of zombies would increase significantly.
Grandma kept an eye on Mu Wenxi's condition from time to time: "You've been driving all the way, let me drive for a while?"
Mu Wenxi: "I didn't expect you could drive."
Grandma: "Of course! I was a great driver when I was young, but I'm too old now."
Mu Wenxi: "Next time you drive, we'll be heading into the city soon, so I don't know what's going on inside."
Grandma looked out the windshield and saw what was happening ahead: "There are so many cars ahead."
Xiao Xing also peeked out from the side, remaining vigilant to protect his grandmother.
Mu Wenxi frowned: "It seems we'll have to get out and walk. The car is blocking all the roads."
Judging by sight, the blocked cars were dozens of meters away from the city entrance. They got out of the car and took the supplies. Xiao Xing carried some food on her back, and her grandmother also carried some. Only Qin Lun was lightly dressed, with most of the food on Mu Wenxi's back.
They slowly moved forward with knives in hand, bypassing the vehicles and heading towards the gate. Judging from the marks, it seemed to have been blocked by someone. Why would they block it?
A huge question mark appeared in Mu Wenxi's mind: was it to prevent the zombies outside from getting in, or to prevent the people or zombies inside from getting out? They hadn't encountered many zombies along the way, so the answer was clearly the latter.
Mu Wenxi: "There are either a lot of zombies inside, or a lot of people. The former is more likely. You guys stay in the car for now, I'll climb in and take a look."
Xiao Xing: "Sister, be careful."
Mu Wenxi nodded, tossed the supplies to Qin Lun to hold, and instructed them: "If I don't come out for a while, don't worry, just wait. If I haven't come out in three days, you should leave first."
Mu Wenxi patted Xiaoxing's head: "Listen to Grandma, and also to Qin Lun, don't underestimate him."
Xiao Xing nodded: "I understand."
He had known all along that Qin Lun was no ordinary cat. He had seen Qin Lun grow bigger and smaller at the same time when killing zombies, and even bit the zombies to pieces.
Grandma: "Be careful."
Mu Wenxi climbed over the wall and waved to them, but when he turned around, he was stunned. He didn't expect that the other side of the wall was piled with countless corpses, forming a human wall. To get over, he could only step on the corpses of his own kind.
A wave of sorrow washed over her; the city was filled with a gloomy atmosphere, and she was determined to find out what had happened.
She climbed down the wall and landed on the corpses of her kind. Stepping on their heads one by one, she walked past them until she reached the very edge, about two meters from the ground. Then she jumped down and entered the city.
Mu Wenxi held the watermelon knife, remaining vigilant at all times. Suddenly, a gust of wind came from behind him. Mu Wenxi dodged and turned around, only to find an extremely fast zombie in front of him. Its eyes bulged out, its skin was yellowish-brown, and its mouth was wide open. Through its tattered clothes, one could see that its limbs had very well-developed muscles.
Mu Wenxi stared intently at its movements. Suddenly, it moved, lunging at Mu Wenxi and letting out a roar. Mu Wenxi raised his watermelon knife and slashed down, but the zombie nimbly dodged, seemingly somewhat angry, and roared again.
Mu Wenxi tried to activate his superpower. The zombie in front of him stopped in place, its eyes returned to calm. The superpower seemed to be working, but it quickly regained its senses and realized that the person in front of it was a human, but it was too late.
