Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.
Everyone felt extremely heavy-hearted.
Nobody wanted to leave.
However, if we choose to stay, the supplies here will eventually run out.
When the power and internet are cut off, and even the gas is completely exhausted, those left behind can only wait to die in despair.
Of course, the journey to D City was not without its challenges.
Countless unknown dangers await them ahead.
But just as they did, hope awaited them ahead.
The SUV sped onto the street, and only then did everyone directly feel the powerful impact.
Corpses and pieces of flesh were everywhere.
There were also some zombies chasing after their car.
Yan Xiangxiang clenched her fists and turned her head away in disbelief. This scene was like hell on earth; it was too terrifying.
Jiang Ling sat beside her, gently patting her back reassuringly.
"Don't be afraid, we will all survive."
The air pressure inside the car was inexplicably low. Just as everyone was dozing off, Brother Long suddenly slammed on the brakes, and everyone was jolted forward, instantly waking up.
He Chao's eyes widened. "What's going on?"
At this moment, Brother Long's expression was extremely ugly, and the veins on his hands gripping the steering wheel were bulging.
He Chao looked outside, and everything became clear.
On both sides are lush green forests, and a narrow path twists and turns, with a dark mass ahead.
He Chao's pupils contracted.
They were unexpectedly blocked by a horde of zombies!
However, the road is too narrow; unless a section of the mountain on both sides is cut away, there is no way to turn around.
If you crash into it directly, the car will definitely be damaged. If the car wrecks on the road, your situation will be even more troublesome.
"We're doomed this time." Uncle Jiang grabbed the handrail on the side of the car, his body instinctively leaning back out of fear.
"Sister Ling, are we going to die here?"
Jiang Ling held Yan Xiangxiang's hand tightly, remaining silent.
Jiang Yuan's face was also pale as she stared intently at the approaching zombies. Were they really going to die here today?
Lin Xi was the calmest one among them, after all, the zombies wouldn't attack her, one of their own kind.
It's just that it's a bit difficult to get them out safely.
She couldn't stop the oncoming horde of zombies on her own; first of all, the car would be totaled.
Then their journey will become exceptionally difficult.
She glanced at her neighbors, who were on the verge of collapse, and sighed inwardly.
—System, I want to participate in the lottery.
What type of reward does the host want?
—Special ability.
[Ding! The system shop is now open. The Superpowers section has been unlocked for you. The lucky draw has begun.]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have acquired a basic fire-type ability.]
[The host's body has been detected as unable to receive this; it will be automatically transferred to a companion in three seconds.]
Lin Xi: ?
Didn't we agree that if she drew the winning ticket, it would belong to her?
What was that? You just gave it to your companion?
—I protest! Isn't this an unfair contract term?
[...3, 2, 1, superpowers have been fused.]
No, how could it pretend to be deaf and dumb and ignore what she said?
Suddenly, Brother Long in the driver's seat shuddered and clutched his chest in obvious discomfort.
"Brother Long, what's wrong?" He Chao, in the passenger seat, immediately noticed something was amiss.
Brother Long's face turned bright red, and in a second, his once clean forehead was covered in sweat.
"It feels like a fire is burning wildly throughout my body..."
Seeing that the matter was already settled, Lin Xi had no choice but to give up. However, she was afraid that she would not dare to exchange for superpowers so easily again.
Dog system!
Fortunately, Brother Long is the most responsible person in the group. Hopefully, he can make good use of his superpower to protect everyone and not waste his points.
Just then, the system spoke again.
[System notification: If the recipient dies, the points will be reclaimed.]
Yan Xiangxiang hurriedly handed him a bottle of water, "Brother Long, will drinking some water make you feel better?"
Brother Long reached out and took it, only to see a large hole instantly burned into the bottle, and the water inside vanished in an instant.
Lin Xi was instantly drawn to the system's notification and ignored it.
Everyone was stunned.
What's going on?
He Chao's previously dimmed eyes suddenly lit up with hope, "Could it be the legendary superpower?"
He excitedly grabbed Brother Long's wrist, but his palm was burned, which only made him more excited. "If he really has awakened superpowers, then we're saved! Why don't we open the car window and try punching out?"
"No, this is too dangerous." Although Yan Xiangxiang's lips were trembling with fear, she immediately jumped out to stop him. "This is all just your guess. What if there's no such thing as superpower? If you open the car window, Brother Long could very well be attacked by zombies. You'll get him killed, do you know that?"
He Chao's expression darkened after being yelled at like that. "Yan Xiangxiang! I've had enough of you! You're always acting like a saint. In this situation, you're not letting him try? Do you want us all to die here together?"
Yan Xiangxiang's face turned pale, and she bit her lip, looking very aggrieved. She explained, "No, no, we still have Lin Xi, right? Maybe she can help us."
“Xiangxiang, there’s only one Lin Xi. You’re asking her to deal with so many zombies all by herself? Isn’t that even more impossible?” Uncle Jiang looked at her with a serious expression.
Jiang Ling looked at her strangely and silently released her hand.
Yan Xiangxiang immediately realized she had said the wrong thing, "I'm sorry, Lin Xi, I was just anxious. I didn't want Brother Long to go to his death, so I just..."
