Chapter 44 Going Out

In the early morning, just as the sun rose, Jiang Xianchuan was awakened from his sweet dream by a rapid knock on the door. He rubbed his sleepy eyes, got up reluctantly, washed up briefly, and hurried to the meeting point at the door.

At this time, Bai Su had already been waiting here. She stood tall in front of the team, scanning the people who came one after another. After everyone arrived, she cleared her throat and said loudly: "Ahem, my friends, since there are new teammates joining this outing, I have to emphasize our rules again here. Everyone must strictly obey my instructions and must not act without authorization! Do you understand?"

Jiang Xianchuan looked around curiously. Including himself, Li Lingyu and Bai Su, there were seven people in total. Among them was a very gentle boy wearing glasses, who stood quietly by the side with a hint of shyness in his eyes; there was also a hot girl with big wavy hair, exuding charming charm in every move; in addition, there was a man in his forties, with a calm face, giving people a sense of reliability.

After that, Bai Su started to introduce the names of several companions around him one by one with a smile on his face. Everyone nodded in a friendly manner and briefly introduced themselves, and they quickly became familiar with each other.

At this moment, Bai Su shouted loudly, and the tightly closed door slowly opened. Several people rushed out, and when they all walked out, the door behind them seemed to have received some kind of instruction and quickly closed with a dull sound.

Jiang Yuan pushed up his glasses, turned to look at Bai Su and said, "Team Bai, according to my observation, there is a large group of corpses gathered about 900 meters south of our location."

Bai Su nodded slightly to show that he agreed with Jiang Yuan's discovery, and gave the order without hesitation: "Okay, in this case, let's go to that direction now and check the situation." So, the group walked towards the south with firm steps.

Along the way, Lin Pianyue's big, lively eyes never left Jiang Xianchuan. She curiously approached Jiang Xianchuan and asked with blinking eyes, "Brother, how old are you this year?"

Jiang Xianchuan glanced at Lin Pianyue and replied softly, "I'm 19 years old." Hearing this answer, Lin Pianyue showed a hint of surprise on her face, but then she smiled sweetly and continued to talk with Jiang Xianchuan.

Li Lingyu silently stared at the two people in front of him, and an indescribable feeling surged in his heart. This feeling was like a tangled mess that made him confused. Helplessly, he involuntarily moved closer to Jiang Xianchuan, as if only this could slightly ease the confusion in his heart.

Jiang Xianchuan seemed to have noticed Li Lingyu's little movement. He gently patted the back of Li Lingyu's hand. His movements were gentle and natural, just like a spring breeze blowing across the lake, creating ripples.

At this moment, Dong Junjie, who had been silent all the time, suddenly asked, "Hey, is that your girlfriend?" His face was full of curiosity, and he looked like a gossiper.

Li Lingyu was somewhat at a loss for words by this sudden question, and subconsciously asked back, "Who?" Seeing this, the 40-something uncle first looked around, then lowered his voice again, pointed at Jiang Xianchuan mysteriously and said, "That one!"

Li Lingyu fell into a brief silence for a moment. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind as he thought about how to respond to this slightly embarrassing question.

Finally, he took a deep breath and said slowly: "He is a boy, my friend, and an extremely important family member in my life." After saying this, Li Lingyu looked firmly into the distance, as if announcing to the world the deep and special friendship between them.

Let's put aside the previously happy conversation between Bai Su and Jiang Yuan, and talk about Jiang Xianchuan and Lin Pianyue, who were also chatting enthusiastically. Lin Pianyue's beautiful eyes moved, and when her eyes fell on the handsome and humorous boy in front of her, she couldn't help but feel curious and interested.

Jiang Xianchuan, on the other hand, was infected by Lin Pianyue's cheerful and lively personality. He was originally a little reserved, but he gradually relaxed and started talking. During this back and forth, the distance between the two of them quietly narrowed, and their relationship became more intimate.

With laughter and joy all the way, they finally arrived at a dangerous place where zombies were rumored to be. They crouched carefully in the distance, holding their breath and observing the creepy zombies.

There was a strange-looking zombie among the zombies, lying on the ground on all fours like a dog, sniffing around, as if trying to catch some faint scent clues. The rest of the zombies followed closely behind it, moving forward slowly and clumsily.

These zombies all had distorted faces, incomplete bodies, and emitted a foul stench that made people shudder. However, despite being in such a horrific scene, several people's attention was still tightly locked on these zombies, and they did not dare to relax.

"Jiang Yuan, besides these, are there any other zombies?" Bai Su asked solemnly. At this time, Jiang Yuan closed his eyes tightly, as if he was concentrating on sensing the situation around him. After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes, shook his head and said, "No, there are only these at the moment."

Hearing this, Bai Su breathed a sigh of relief, but then frowned again. After thinking for a moment, he turned to the people behind him and said, "I will rush forward and use fire. If there are zombies that cannot be burned to death, you will have to deal with them."

Everyone looked at each other and nodded in agreement. After getting everyone's response, Bai Su took a deep breath and rushed out like an arrow from a bow.

He quickly raised his hands, and a huge burning fireball instantly condensed in his palms. With a wave of his arms, the fireball flew towards the zombies in front at an extremely fast speed.

There was a loud bang, and the fireball exploded in the zombies. Suddenly, flames shot up into the sky and thick smoke rolled. The zombies close to the fireball were instantly ignited by the high temperature and turned into firemen, wailing in pain and falling to the ground.

However, it didn't take long before most of the zombies were burned into black charcoal, emitting a pungent burnt smell.

But what was unexpected was that some of the zombies were not affected by the flames and they still rushed towards Bai Su with their fangs and claws.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Xianchuan and others drew their weapons without hesitation and jumped into the battle.

Although this was the first time that Jiang Xianchuan and the others had gone out on a mission together, it was gratifying that they had excellent tacit cooperation. Facing the swarm of zombies, it didn't take long for these hideous-looking guys to fall down one after another.

Jiang Xianchuan gently wiped the blood off the long sword in his hand. His eyes slowly fell on the zombies lying on the ground. He said thoughtfully: "So that's how it is. This kind of big-headed zombie is actually immune."

Bai Su, who was standing nearby, sighed slightly and spread his hands helplessly, saying, "That's right! Nowadays, humans have gradually evolved various strange abilities, and these zombies seem to be not to be outdone and have also evolved. So, not every method of dealing with them will work."

Hearing this, Jiang Xianchuan nodded solemnly and silently memorized this important discovery in his heart.
