Chapter 398
He looked back and saw that not far behind him, the place where Huohai had been standing was also the center of the explosion. Now there was basically nothing left. Even if Huohai had powerful abilities, he could not withstand such a strong energy impact.
Cheng Hui secretly smacked his lips in amazement. This effect is comparable to C4...
Okay, I didn't expect to be able to get rid of him in one move. Now it's easier, but... how should I deal with this guy?
Cheng Hui looked at the unconscious man at his feet and felt a little worried.
It’s definitely not a good idea to leave people here, as that would be a snack for the zombies. But taking them back... huh?
If I bring it back, it doesn't seem impossible, right?
Cheng Hui touched his chin. There were still many empty houses in their community, so it wouldn't be too difficult to accommodate a group of survivors.
Besides, this man also has special abilities and seems to be quite strong. It is not difficult to hear from the content of his scolding of the evildoer just now that this man has good character. In such a furious situation, he is unlikely to lie, so this man is probably a good person.
This made the problem simple. Wake the person up and ask him if he's willing to go to their neighborhood. If he's willing, then find a way to bring his group of survivors along.
Cheng Hui recalled that group of people were very unlucky. The first mutant zombie cultivated by the evildoer was very powerful and he could not resist it at all. So when he found that the zombies might threaten his life, he ran away without hesitation, leaving the survivors to be slaughtered by the zombies.
Cheng Hui still remembers the scene at that time. There were not many survivors. On the way to the hospital, he saw a bus that could be used to transport people there.
If this person disagrees, it doesn’t matter. It will save them trouble and they can just send him away.
"Wake up, oh! Wake up!" Cheng Hui gently patted the man's cheek.
The man gradually woke up from his coma, opened his eyes and looked at Cheng Hui, then jumped up and asked warily, "Who are you?" Then he quickly looked around and asked, "Where is that bastard Niu Ben?"
"If you're talking about the person who knocked you out, then what's left of him is probably over there..." Lin Qingqiu pointed expressionlessly at a pile of debris not far away.
Wu Zhou turned his head suddenly and looked in the direction of his finger, then showed a dazed expression.
"You said...that is..." he stammered.
"Yes, I don't know his name, but if you're talking about the guy who grabbed your neck and nearly strangled you to death, then that's all he has left."
Wu Zhou took a deep breath and looked at Cheng Hui: "What are your names?"
"You can call me Cheng Hui, and this is my lover Lin Qingqiu." Cheng Hui introduced himself frankly.
Wu Zhou did not have any special reaction after hearing about the relationship between the two. This alone was enough to make Cheng Hui feel more favorable towards him.
"My name is Wu Zhou. Thank you very much, both of you. If I'm not mistaken, you must have saved me."
"Oh, it's nothing serious." Cheng Hui said nonchalantly. His original purpose was to kill the troublemaker, and saving people was just a side job.
Wu Zhou had been paying attention to the expressions of the two people, and he felt a little relieved when he saw this.
Probably because he had just been betrayed by his best friend of more than ten years, he now finds everyone suspicious and always feels that they have bad intentions.
He cursed inwardly, knowing that he had been traumatized. However, it was already the end of the world, and even his good friends had become unrecognizable to him. He could only be careful, and extra careful.
He calmed himself down and said sincerely, "A great favor requires no thanks. Perhaps to you two, this is just a small thing, but to me, it's like saving my life." He gave a wry smile, "Now that the world has become like this, I really don't know how to repay you. If you two need anything, please feel free to ask. As long as I have it, I will never hesitate."
Cheng Hui waved his hand. "I already said there's no need to repay anything. If you can help me in this kind of situation, I'll do it." Seeing Wu Zhou seemed to want to say something, he simply said, "Well, if you really want to repay us, then save a few more people."
Wu Zhou was stunned. He hadn't expected the other party to make such a request. His expression visibly softened. In his opinion, anyone who could make such a request couldn't be a bad person.
"Oh, yes. We have a residential complex next to XX University, quite far from here. We've almost cleared out the zombies inside our complex, and there are still many empty houses. If you're interested, you can live with us. I can't say much about other things, but at least the environment is pretty good. Stuff like this..." He tilted his head towards the wreckage, "would be sentenced to death in our community."
Wu Zhou: ...
"You have police there?" he was shocked.
"Oh, no. If you really count it, it's us who abused our power to lynch. Hey, it's the end of the world now, so why bother with so much?"
Wu Zhou was at a loss for words. Okay, you have a point.
He did not give an answer immediately. Originally, the survivors were living a decent life with him and Niu Ben taking care of them. But after losing Niu Ben, the psychic, their future would be uncertain.
"Why did you invite me?" he asked.
Cheng Hui looked at him strangely: "You are a superpower, your fighting ability is strong enough, isn't this reason enough?"
"Aren't you afraid that I'm a bad person?" Wu Zhou couldn't help but ask.
Cheng Hui: ...
What's wrong with this person? He insists on thinking of himself as a bad person.
He said helplessly, "We heard your conversation just now. Judging from what you said, you should be a good person. Of course, the most important reason is... I'm strong enough!" He smiled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. "Doing bad things in front of me will kill you!"
Wu Zhou: ...
Okay, that's a strong enough reason.
Wu Zhou also understood that the advent of the end of the world meant the disruption of order, and in such a chaotic period, all kinds of situations where the strong prey on the weak would surely occur.
This man not only saved his own life, but also took control of a neighborhood. Most importantly!!! He could maintain order in his neighborhood!
Order may seem insignificant, but only when you lose it can you understand its value.
Having a place where you can sleep peacefully is better than anything else!
However, Wu Zhou did not act impulsively. The Niu Ben incident taught him a severe lesson. He did not want to destroy all the people behind him because of his recklessness.
He pondered for a moment and said, "I'm actually very interested in your community. Can I go take a look?"
"Of course." Cheng Hui smiled and said, "I'm just extending an invitation. Whether you agree or not is up to you."
Wu Zhou was completely relieved. He felt that Mr. Cheng seemed quite honest. Of course, he could be wrong, but even if he was, the loss would only be his own, and no one else would be implicated. It wasn't a big deal.
A car sped past on the dark street. The zombies on both sides of the street followed the direction where the sound came from, but when they arrived there, the car had already driven away.
From time to time, Cheng Hui could knock away a few wandering zombies. The car they found had very good defense. If it encountered three or five zombies, they would be crushed.
Not long after, they returned to the community.
Cheng Hui quietly climbed over the wall in front of Wu Zhou's stunned gaze, and then Lin Qingqiu also jumped over easily.
Wu Zhou was stunned for a moment, but soon came to his senses and hurried to catch up. They were dodging the patrol team in the residential complex. He couldn't help but lower his voice and asked, "Why did you climb over the wall?"
"It's not nice to disturb people's sleep in the middle of the night." Cheng Hui answered casually.
Wu Zhou: ...I don’t believe you!
Since the other party was unwilling to say, Wu Zhou did not intend to ask any further questions. As a newcomer, he still knew his limits.
Following Cheng Hui and the others to the residential area, Cheng Hui took him directly to the next door of his house.
After all, he was the one who brought her in. Although he had a hunch that she wouldn't be a bad person or a scumbag, he still had to be on guard.
Living next door to him, if Wu Zhou wanted to do anything weird, he would be able to discover it in the first place and prevent any damage.
Wu Zhou had no idea what Cheng Hui was thinking, and he was quite satisfied with Cheng Hui's arrangements.
The house he lives in now is quite clean and can be considered a good place to stay.
What's more, there are people patrolling the community to prevent zombies from rushing in, which greatly improves his sense of security.
In recent days, he basically couldn't sleep well every night. He and Niu Ben, two psychics, had to guard against the approaching zombies and stand guard every day, while looking for food everywhere during the day. If he hadn't been exhausted to a certain extent, he wouldn't have been stabbed in the back by his good friend so easily.
Damn, I get angry whenever I think of that bastard!
Wu Zhou angrily threw himself on the bed, pulled the quilt over his head, and said, "I'm done! Go to sleep!"
The occasional flash of a flashlight outside the window made Wu Zhou very relaxed. Just when he was half asleep and about to fall asleep, suddenly... an extremely overbearing fragrance came from the air.
Wu Zhou: ...
He covered his face tightly, trying to ignore the smell. But five minutes later, he stood up with an expressionless face, cursing inwardly: Who is so immoral? ...
Instant noodles don’t have much nutritional value, but they taste really good.
Wu Zhou had basically been living in a state of hunger or semi-hunger in recent days. Today, he was ambushed by Niu Ben in the evening. Calculating the time, he had not had a drop of water for eight or nine hours. His stomach was growling with hunger, and when he smelled the scent of instant noodles at this time, he really couldn't ignore it.
After tossing and turning for a long time, Wu Zhou finally had the nerve to knock on the door of the next room.
"What's up?"
The person who opened the door was the handsome young man. He was wearing an apron with small floral patterns and holding two long chopsticks in his hands. There was a hint of impatience in his narrow eyes, but he still maintained basic politeness.
Wu Zhou remembered his name was Lin Qingqiu. Before he could say anything, his stomach responded with a long, gurgling sound.
Wu Zhou: ...awkward.
Lin Qingqiu looked him up and down and said calmly, "Come in and have something to eat."
When the other party made an invitation, Wu Zhou's eyes lit up and he immediately followed in.
People are almost starving to death, who cares about face? Anyway, Wu Zhou felt that eating was the most important thing in the world, and these two big guys in front of him must have no shortage of food. At worst... at worst, he could just work harder and give them double!
