Just as Yang Mutong was finally able to use her special ability to shoot down the zombies, the battle was nearing its end. It was fortunate that Shen Jing and Gu Yan returned in time; otherwise, Zhang Xiaonan probably wouldn't have been able to complete the mission.
So, only death awaits him and Yang Mutong.
[Task complete, reward: 10 sweet potatoes]
It was clear that the two of them were extremely hungry.
The rewards were all food, and definitely enough for two people to eat their fill.
After the two had eaten and drunk their fill, Shen Jing drove the car to the suburbs.
The phone shows the time as 12 midnight.
He Qing's bus was parked not far away.
They probably planned to rest somewhere far from the city and then head back to base in the morning.
After all, humans have biological clocks and are not perpetual motion machines like zombies.
Shen Jing opened the trunk and took out several bottles of water.
She actually planned to switch to a motorhome when she headed back, but that's not possible now.
With so many people sleeping in their cars, she couldn't possibly conjure up a campervan out of thin air; otherwise, she'd be captured and dissected in no time.
Fortunately, she was sitting in the passenger seat, wrapped in a thin blanket, and was able to fall asleep.
She was able to adapt to any situation even before the apocalypse.
So it's not a big deal right now!
Gu Yan sat in the driver's seat, still wearing his night vision goggles.
"Don't worry, I'll keep watch." Gu Yan rested his chin on the back of their clasped hands.
Shen Jing curled up in her seat, preparing to take off her night vision goggles.
Hearing this, she turned her head and met Gu Yan's gaze. Her thought was that everyone should mind their own business. If she were carried away by a zombie in the middle of the night, she wouldn't blame anyone, because she was indeed so sleepy she wanted to die.
She had never thought of relying on anyone before.
Then she won't either.
However, since Gu Yan offered to keep watch, Shen Jing did not directly refuse.
"Then I'll set the alarm."
After saying that, it stretched out its paw and waved it, then instantly fell asleep.
Gu Yan simply turned his head and stared at him, unaware of the madness deep within his eyes. It was a possessiveness that transcended time and space, and an impulse that he couldn't comprehend in his current state.
He pulled her tightly into his arms and held her close!
Thinking of this, Gu Yan's slender fingertips twitched.
He slowly turned his head to look at the back seat and, sure enough, found Xie Zhizhou staring straight ahead.
It was obvious that Xie Zhizhou also planned to stay up all night.
Gu Yan scoffed and ignored him.
However, Xie Zhizhou, who was sitting in the back seat, was very clear about the danger Gu Yan posed!
He always felt that Gu Yan was more terrifying than the zombies outside.
In the dim light, everyone inside the vehicle was exhausted and slumped over. Luckily, it was a seven-seater SUV, otherwise it really wouldn't have been able to fit so many of them. Xie Zhizhou, wearing the night vision goggles that Shen Jing had given him, sat leaning back in the middle seat.
He saw that Gu Yan ignored him and did not look away.
He just muttered under his breath, "It's still uncertain who's in more danger."
The zombies outside are certainly terrifying.
But Gu Yan, who was in front, was clearly more uncontrollable.
Gu Yan's gaze was still on Shen Jing, and after hearing Xie Zhizhou's words, the sarcasm on his lips became even more obvious.
However, he didn't retort to Xie Zhizhou again.
Listening to Shen Jing's soft snoring, Gu Yan surprisingly felt a sense of peace, something he hadn't experienced in a long time.
He hasn't been able to fall asleep for quite some time.
Every time he was about to fall asleep, he would think of the various experiments he was subjected to in the laboratory. Many times, when he let his guard down, he would be forcibly taken away from his bed, something Gu Chen often had deliberately arranged.
I just don't want him to get a proper rest.
They even want to gradually destroy his will and personality!
Gu Yan recalled the Level 3 zombie he had encountered on the street earlier.
Besides the nameplate he found at the hospital, he had actually discovered a lot of evidence of Gu Chen's involvement.
But he had no obligation to track these things down, unless Gu Chen set his sights on him again...
Doesn't he want to kill Gu Chen to avenge himself?
Thinking... Gu Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, his killing intent already flowing unrestrainedly.
But it's not time yet.
Xie Zhizhou, sitting in the back seat, immediately rubbed the goosebumps on his arm.
He was right after all; the most dangerous person was Gu Yan!
But later he found himself unable to stop himself from falling asleep...
Just before falling asleep, he seemed to see Gu Yan reach out to Shen Jing. In his hazy state, he seemed to see slender fingertips slowly resting on Shen Jing's lips, but he shook his head desperately, unable to resist the lingering sleepiness!
"Ding ding ding"
Shen Jing slowly woke up when she heard the alarm clock.
The phone's notification sound was just within her earshot and wouldn't wake anyone else.
She slowly stretched.
Soon, she noticed the gaze coming from her left. "Gu Yan? Why don't you rest for a while?"
Gu Yan extended his hand. "Hold my hand."
"?" Shen Jing didn't understand, but she still opened her palm in his direction.
The hand with distinct knuckles encloses ten slender fingers.
Shen Jing tried to break free, feeling a little uncomfortable, but Gu Yan held her tightly.
Moreover, he seemed to fall asleep the instant his hands were clasped together.
Despite Shen Jing calling his name softly several times.
Neither of them managed to break free of the restraints.
"Is she a little girl?" He actually needs to hold her hand to fall asleep.
However, Shen Jing's attention was quickly drawn to the outside of the car.
After putting her night vision goggles back on, she could see clearly outside. She could see shadowy figures flashing by, clearly human, not zombies, and there were several of them walking around.
They've got some nerve.
In the pitch-black environment, it was possible to operate without any light.
They must have also smeared zombie liquid on themselves, so they were confident the zombies wouldn't notice.
Shen Jing became slightly interested and began to observe carefully through the car window.
Those people must have come from He Qing's convoy.
And there were clearly more than just these few people; there were others dressed the same way, almost all of them covered in liquid.
Looking at their furtive behavior, Shen Jing couldn't understand what their purpose was.
I'm thinking about it.
Then several angry roars were heard, the sounds were very harsh.
"So it was you who were stealing supplies from the base!"
"Trash! If the base commander hadn't saved you, you would all be zombie food by now!"
"I think we should just feed them to the zombies now!"
Indeed, as the commotion they caused drew the attention of the zombies nearby, they slowly began to wander towards them. Although the area was in the suburbs, there were still quite a few zombies that had mutated during their escape.
Shen Jing recognized someone calling Zhang Run's name.
It should be something like shouting to throw people directly into the zombie horde.
Besides the cries for mercy, there were also the sounds of clubs hitting flesh. It seems this was premeditated, by both sides.
Those people stole the convoy's supplies more than once.
He Qing not only ignored them, but also repeatedly indulged them in front of many survivors.
These people have clearly incurred public wrath, and the backlash they are receiving will be devastating.
He Qing... is definitely not the He Qing from the dream...
