Chapter 40 Leaving
After Qiao Yu and Luo Zhenzhen finished packing up the RV, they started busying themselves filling mineral water bottles with fruit water.
The four of them worked all night long until fog started to rise outside.
Lin Yingjie was very punctual. As soon as the fog had dissipated, he brought Lin Chi to knock on the door. However, he looked exhausted, as if he was even more tired than Qiao Yu and the others who had worked all night.
This shouldn't be the case. Qiao Yu looked at the huge dark circles under the eyes of Lin Yingjie and Lin Chi and touched his chin.
The energy of the aliens is better than that of ordinary people. Generally, not sleeping for a day or two will not have a big impact. Besides, the Jiang family mansion is so safe and they don't have to keep watch at night. Why didn't they get enough rest?
Lin Yingjie and his group slept in the servants' room of Jiang's house last night. Those rooms were all in the backyard, separated by a large garden. They were quite far away from the main house. In addition, there were strange cries of alien species outside the gate, so even if there was any movement over there, Qiao Yu would not be able to hear it.
However, Qiao Yu didn't ask in front of Lin Yingjie. As soon as Lin Yingjie and Lin Chi left, Qiao Yu dragged Jiang Zhan towards the underground garage and whispered in his ear, "Did they go thieves last night? Why are you so listless?"
Jiang Zhan chuckled softly, and imitated her, leaning in to whisper in her ear, "They went to cram for the exam last night."
"Hmm?" Qiao Yu looked confused. "Why are you asking for help?"
Just after asking, Qiao Yu suddenly had an idea, "Could he be practicing his supernatural powers?"
"You guessed right." Jiang Zhan touched Qiao Yu's forehead.
"You're really going to practice your powers?" Qiao Yu didn't know what to say. "You knew you were leaving today, but you had to choose this time to practice? What if you run out of energy on the road and something happens?"
"Then throw them away."
“…”
--
As soon as the giant RV drove out of the garage, it attracted the attention of Lin Yingjie and his group.
"Oh my god, why haven't we thought about buying an RV before?" Deng Minglang said with envy, "This thing is so practical in the end times."
Lin Yingjie was also stunned, but a burst of electricity from the device in his hand forcibly brought him back to his senses. Lin Yingjie looked down at the black walkie-talkie that Qiao Yu had handed him this morning. Cheng Sinian's deep voice soon came from the other end of the device: "Mr. Lin, our car has better collision avoidance performance. When we go out later, we will lead the way. However, there are too many alien species, and some will definitely surround you, so you must keep up and keep the distance between the vehicles."
"Okay, got it."
"clear."
There were two voices, one from Lin Yingjie and the other from Lin Chi who was in the last car.
"Okay, then according to the plan, Mr. Deng will go open the door now. Everyone else should get ready and rush out as soon as the door opens."
"Minglang, be careful." Seeing Deng Minglang get out of the car, the middle-aged woman in the back seat was worried, and her hands that were holding on to the seat were turning white from holding on so hard.
"Don't worry, sis. It's okay."
Deng Minglang's heart was beating like a drum and his hands were shaking uncontrollably, but he still forced himself to smile at the woman, then strode towards the villa gate without looking back.
The roar outside the door was even more deafening. Deng Minglang put one hand on the bolt, took a deep breath, raised the other hand high, and made a countdown gesture.
3…2…1!
The moment the bolt was pulled open, Deng Minglang quickly used his special abilities and returned to the car in the blink of an eye. He got in and closed the door in one go.
At the same time, the alien species blocking the door outside also poured in like a tide.
Cheng Sinian took the driver's seat and, with a single stab of the accelerator, the car careened directly into the alien swarm. Jiang Zhan had used his mental power to create a mental barrier around the RV, primarily to prevent Lin Han from overhearing their conversation and secondly to increase the RV's damage to the aliens, thereby protecting the vehicle. With the mental barrier's blessing, the car encountered little resistance as it rammed into the aliens, quickly breaking through the swarm and rapidly driving down the mountain.
Lin Yingjie and Lin Chi, who were following behind, did not hesitate. They followed the gap created by the RV and kept close to the rear of the car in front. The distance was so close that if any car stopped, they would directly hit the rear end.
Outside the car, there were roars of alien species and sharp scraping sounds of claws scratching the car body, which was so noisy that it gave people a headache. However, no one cared about the noise at the moment and just wanted to leave here quickly.
Qiao Yu and Luo Zhenzhen sat in the RV, each holding a submachine gun, leaning against the windows on both sides, firing continuously.
"Sister Qiao, why don't you use your superpowers?"
This was the first time in Luo Zhenzhen's life that she had any accuracy at all. She just fired randomly. The recoil made her hands numb, but she couldn't hit the alien's head or cervical spine no matter what.
Qiao Yu listened to her question and continued to fire without turning his head, but he warned her seriously: "Zhenzhen, we may meet many people on the road in the future. You must remember that unless it is absolutely necessary, you must never reveal your supernatural powers to outsiders. Remember?"
Luo Zhenzhen was stunned when she heard Qiao Yu's serious words. She nodded quickly and said, "Okay, Sister Qiao, I'll remember that."
Luo Zhenzhen was simple-minded and hadn't systematically studied the classification system for mutants. She had no concept of natural or enhanced abilities. Although Qiao Yu claimed her abilities were impressive, she was a follower of powerful individuals, often ranking at the bottom of the group. She never considered herself particularly impressive, and thus naturally lacked the vigilance to conceal her abilities. However, hearing Qiao Yu's earnest emphasis, she knew something was amiss. She didn't understand, but she obeyed. Since Sister Qiao said it couldn't be revealed, it couldn't be revealed. Without further questioning, she turned, raised her gun, and continued firing indiscriminately.
After coming down from the top of the mountain, the road was obviously much smoother. Although there were still alien species that surrounded and attacked, their number had been significantly reduced.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Boss Lin, Lin Chi, keep following closely." Cheng Sinian picked up the intercom and said in a serious voice, "We'll be leaving the villa area soon, but we don't know what the situation is outside yet, so don't let up."
"receive."
"OK!"
Qiao Yu and Luo Zhenzhen breathed a sigh of relief, put away their guns, and sat back in the booth to rest. However, Qiao Yu's expression had become somewhat heavy since he had just given Luo Zhenzhen his instructions.
Some time ago, the four of them killed aliens every day at the gate of the villa area. Although it was far away from most of the houses and obscured by fog, it should be difficult for others to discover their supernatural powers. However, it was hard to guarantee that there would not be any surviving aliens with enhanced vision in the villa area who had seen their supernatural powers...
Or... as a person with enhanced hearing, Lin Han, can she identify the type of their abilities by the sound they make when they release their abilities?
