After a short rest, the mercenary team set off again, their destination being an armory southwest of City B.
Yi Yu was driving, Wei Hang was in the passenger seat, Tang Feng and Yu Qing were in the second row, so Shen Shuyi could only sit in the three-seater in the last row with Huo Chi.
He glanced at Huo Chi out of the corner of his eye. Even though the man was sitting, he still had the tall and strong figure of a soldier, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and a pair of straight and slender legs. Fortunately, the off-road vehicle was spacious enough, otherwise it would have looked quite cramped.
Tang Feng, who had been talking nonstop, looked back at Shen Shuyi, who was sitting tightly by the window on the right, separated from Huo Chi by an empty seat, and suggested: "Xiaoyi, you sit next to the boss. If there are mutant animals and plants attacking, he can help you block it."
Now Shen Shuyi is the fragile health bag in their team and must be well protected.
Shen Shuyi glanced at Huo Chi and carefully moved over. After hearing what Tang Feng said, he really treated him as a meat shield.
"There are no seat belts..." She looked at Yi Yu.
Wei Hang assured, "Don't worry, Ayu is the safest driver, and if you encounter danger, you can run faster without a seat belt."
Shen Shuyi thought about it and it was true. For them, car accidents were trivial matters, and nothing was as terrifying as mutant creatures.
Yi Yu also smiled, "Let's go!"
The off-road vehicle drove smoothly for most of the day. With Shen Shuyi in the team to avoid risks along the way, they did not encounter any large groups of zombies.
Of course, her current ability level is too low, and she cannot use the predictive ability for a long time. After using it once, she would become drowsy and close her eyes to rest in the car.
In the evening, Yi Yu drove the car to a three-story villa in the suburbs.
"Let's rest here for one night and leave tomorrow morning." Huo Chi got off the car first.
Shen Shuyi asked, "How much more does it take to reach the armory?"
"The road ahead will be difficult to travel. We may have to walk for a while, and it will take at least three or four days." Wei Hang took out a map and started writing and drawing.
Shen Shuyi followed them into the small villa. Yu Qing and Tang Feng checked the perimeter of the villa and made sure there were no hidden zombies or mutant creatures before entering.
Wei Hang and Yi Yu had already cleaned up a living room and put out a camp bed.
Just as the night watch mission was arranged, strange noises were heard outside.
When everyone went out, they saw six mutant wolfhounds wandering in front of the gate with a fierce look in their eyes.
Tang Feng was about to make a move, but Huo Chi looked at Shen Shuyi calmly, “Let her go.”
Tang Feng and others realized that the boss was training medics, so they smiled and stepped back.
"Don't be afraid, Xiaoyi. Your brother Feng is watching. If you can't beat them, I will burn them with a fireball."
Shen Shuyi's attacking abilities are only water and mental. Don't count on the water, but mental power is a headache if you use it up...
Huo Chi seemed to see through her concerns and said, "Try to freeze the water into ice and use an ice arrow to pierce the mutant wolfdog's forehead."
"Well, I'll try." Shen Shuyi had never thought that the water element could be transformed into the ice element. She concentrated all her attention, and an ice arrow shot out from the air, moving with her thoughts, and stabbed at a mutant wolfdog outside the door.
One fell down, and the rest of the mutant wolfhounds pounced on him.
Shen Shuyi gritted her teeth and shot out the ice arrow again. There were still two mutant wolfhounds less than five meters away from her!
She wanted to escape, but she gritted her teeth and used all her strength to shoot two ice arrows at the same time, killing all six mutant wolfhounds.
At the end, Shen Shuyi slid down holding the door, his face pale and cold sweat pouring out, this consumption was too great.
Yu Qing stepped forward and helped her up. "You are amazing. You can deal with so many mutant creatures by yourself."
The others also gave some words of encouragement, but Huo Chi alone said nothing.
On the following stretch of the journey, Shen Shuyi became more adept at using his abilities, and was able to deal with more zombies.
Even until they encountered a group of mutant spiders, Huo Chi still cruelly let her go. Shen Shuyi gritted her teeth, this guy really had no sympathy for women.
In this battle, her supernatural powers were completely exhausted and she even fainted.
When she regained consciousness, she smelled a strong aroma of meat.
"Xiaoyi, wake up. Come over for dinner. Today we have braised beef, roasted chicken legs, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and white rice!"
The strong aroma filled the air in front of the campfire, causing Shen Shuyi, who had just sat up, to swallow his saliva.
She was so exhausted that she felt particularly hungry.
The warm-hearted man Wei Hang served her a meal and said with a smile, "The boss is cooking today, so you should try it and tell him if there is anything that doesn't suit your taste."
Shen Shuyi subconsciously raised his head and looked at Huo Chi opposite him, who was eating with his head slightly lowered.
She was very hungry, so she took the food and started eating without any hesitation.
Yeah, it tastes pretty good.
Although the braised beef and tomatoes are from cans, the heat of frying and heating is well controlled...
Tang Feng squatted aside and started eating, squinting his eyes in satisfaction.
"If I had eaten canned food every day before the apocalypse, I would have gotten tired of it. Now it tastes pretty good, a hundred times better than compressed biscuits."
Yu Qing sneered, "Who was it that said that the sight of canned food made people sick a while ago?"
"Haha, you are the exception." Tang Feng retorted.
The two of them exchanged a few words, then wolfed down their food and went to replace Wei Hang and Yi Yu who were on patrol.
During this gap, only Shen Shuyi and Huo Chi were enjoying a delicious dinner in front of the campfire.
Huo Chi raised his eyes to look at her and asked calmly, "Are you feeling better?"
Chen Shuyi almost collapsed mentally when she thought about facing so many horrible mutated animals alone, but Huo Chi did not take action. She understood that Huo Chi wanted to train her and make her stronger in a short period of time.
Intellectually, I should be grateful for Huo Chi's decision, but deep down, I really can't accept the sight of Huo Chi standing coldly by the side watching me fight to the death.
