Chapter 46

Senyu Community is located at the relatively edge of the city center. You have to take a detour through a tunnel and drive a little further before you can get on the highway.

The van was flying, leaving the city much faster than my grandmother's house was leaving the city center.

After getting on the highway, just as Fu Erdie thought, there were many vehicles congested on the road.

The cars fleeing behind had cleared the way for their lives, and some supernatural beings overturned many cars outside the fence of the highway.

Fu Erdie and his companion flew for about an hour and finally arrived at the end of the congested section.

They chose electric cars among a sea of ​​vehicles. Although the speed may not be as fast as motor vehicles, it can ensure that as long as the road is passable, they can keep moving forward.

Because of the high speed on this road, Sang Wenhao added several thick layers of steel plates around the electric car to avoid accidents. Fu Erdie kept paying attention to the condition of the vehicles in front. With the vision of a superpower, he could spot the vehicles that were either moving or stranded at the side from hundreds of meters away and avoid them in time.

Fu Erdie observed the road conditions while comparing road signs with maps, fearing that he had taken the wrong intersection.

So, between 4pm and 10pm, they only flew for two hours and drove on the highway for the other four hours, driving a total of 500 kilometers! Fu Erdie was very happy. If tomorrow went smoothly, they would set off early in the morning and reach H city by dark.

They chose a sheltered place to dock, cleared out the zombies nearby and let dandelions and potatoes corrode and clean up, then began to confirm tomorrow's itinerary.

"From here, we should be entering the plains from the mountainous area." Fu Erdie slid the map and pointed to the border of Fentie City. "That means we will walk another 400 kilometers tomorrow. We will have to start paying attention to possible floods and survivors in the surrounding areas."

She drew out all the possible places where her parents might stop on the printed paper map. Any hilltop close to the route could potentially be a temporary stop for her parents to avoid the flood.

Of course, if there are bases of various sizes nearby, that would be a different story.

Judging from the 500 kilometers I traveled today, there are not many people on or near the highway.

The sporadic vehicles were either large trucks searching for supplies. When they saw Fu Erdie and the other man, they tried to stop them, but Sang Wenhao controlled the metal and smashed the front windshield, so they gave up.

Or they were those who had to move to another place for various reasons, bringing their families and bags. Most of these people were afraid of trouble, and when they saw Fu Erdie and the others, they would either drive away at a faster speed or slow down and wait for them to leave first.

Overall it went pretty smoothly.

“Hopefully tomorrow will go just as well.”

Fu Erdie and Sang Wenhao fell asleep under the soothing of the flow of supernatural energy. And Potato Seedling was warned to be alert all around, so as not to allow the situation of flooding the carriage without any reaction to occur again.

At night, it rained where Fu Erdie parked the box truck.

When I woke up the next day, there was lightning and thunder outside.

Fu Erdie and Sang Wenhao finished eating their potatoes, got themselves ready to set off again, but they witnessed a car being struck by lightning.

Fu Erdie was so scared that she reflexively shrunk her shoulders. Sang Wenhao comforted her, "As long as you don't open the windows of your car during a thunderstorm, it won't be dangerous to stay in the car. This is the principle of the Faraday cage. In a closed metal space, people and metal cages are equipotential bodies, so no current will form and they won't be pierced. But the moment the current hits, it will still damage various parts of the car body and affect the normal driving of the vehicle. So if our electric car is hit by lightning, it will probably stall and malfunction, and we'll have to change a car."

Fu Erdie nodded, feeling a little relieved, and continued driving in the thunderstorm.

After walking just a hundred kilometers and before reaching the plains of Fentie City, Fu Erdie already felt a strong ominous aura.

Not only had it been raining for the past 100 kilometers, but the number of vehicles coming from the other direction had increased significantly, and they had become much more anxious.

Yesterday they encountered a carload of people every half an hour on average. Today, they had only been on their way for an hour and a half and they had already encountered ten groups of people. In less than ten minutes, they could see a car speeding by.

After Sang Wenhao drove for another half an hour, the two saw a group of psychics who were clearing the roadblock at a traffic jam.

They looked at each other, opened the car window and waved at the group of people from afar, and took out a palm-sized potato and gestured to the crowd.

Seeing this, two women said something to their companion and walked over here.

They were very tired, but their eyes were sharp and alert. It could be seen that they were supernatural beings, and the muscles on their bodies and the fierceness on their faces proved that they had fought and were not afraid of anything.

In order to show goodwill, Sang Wenhao adjusted his seat back to make room for Fu Erdie, who looked obviously more gentle, to negotiate.

The two psychics outside also saw the girl in the passenger seat.

They were both stunned for a moment. How could there be such a gentle and harmless person in the end times, who looked like a pretty girl they had seen on the street before? Realizing this, they instantly became more alert.

Anyone who can live like a human being in the end times is definitely not an ordinary person. Don't be deceived by her appearance.

Fu Erdie took out a potato, broke off a small piece to eat to show that it was not poisonous, and then handed over the rest and a new small potato: "Hello, my boyfriend and I are planning to go to H City to look for relatives, and I want to ask you for some information."

A short-haired woman reached out to take it, but found her hands were dirty. She subconsciously wiped them on her body, which made them even dirtier.

The other long-haired woman pulled her companions aside, took the two potatoes, stuffed one into the short-haired woman's mouth, and wolfed down the rest herself, saying vaguely, "H City has been flooded. Or rather, most of the cities downstream from Fentie City have been flooded. If the people you're looking for are still alive in H City, they're either on some relatively high hilltops, or floating on some wood or a dead speedboat."

Seeing that the two were very hungry and ate very quickly, Fu Erdie handed over two more bowls of water: "How long did it take for H City to be flooded? Are there other superpowers or bases in it?"

The long-haired woman glanced at her and said, "Those with special abilities who can run have already run away. Those who can't run away are probably trapped in the mountains like ordinary people. They might even steal ordinary people's supplies." They might even start cannibalism when they're starving.

Fu Erdie frowned, and the bad feeling in his heart became stronger.

After the long-haired woman finished eating the potatoes and drinking the water, she suddenly realized something and her eyes were full of disbelief.

She looked at Fu Erdie again, with all kinds of emotions in her heart, and suddenly changed the subject: "I came from the H City base. If you are willing to give me a ride, I will point out all the survivors' hills I saw along the way from H City to you."

Facing Fu Erdie's surprised look, the long-haired woman simply said, "Your potatoes can heal injuries, and most of my teammates and I are injured."

As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves, revealing large patches of rotten and swollen skin underneath.

Originally, Fu Erdie thought that she had fought a zombie, so the foul smell came from her, but she didn't expect that it was coming from her own body!

Sang Wenhao subconsciously protected Fu Erdie behind him, fearing that she would be infected.

Fu Erdie responded: "You drank polluted river water and couldn't resist it, so you developed diseases."

The woman nodded.

"If you don't believe me, I can have my teammates over there show you their wounds right here. You're a psychic, so you should be able to see them. Don't worry, I won't let them come over if you disagree."

Fu Erdie pondered for a moment and agreed to the proposal.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

These psychics also had walkie-talkies, which were packed in waterproof bags. They were taken out and used at this time and were not affected by the heavy rain.

When the people over there heard what was said, although they were surprised, they obviously listened to the long-haired woman and began to undress or roll up their trouser legs. There were nine people in the group, and eight of them had erosive lesions to varying degrees.

There was only an ordinary-looking auntie without any wounds.

"We have discovered that drinking river water will not have different degrees of effects depending on the strength of the psychic. It is very random. Some people, even if they are very strong, will immediately become ill and die when they have to drink river water. Some people drink it for half a year before the symptoms gradually become apparent. Some ordinary people have no symptoms until now."

The long-haired woman looked at Fu Erdie and said, "We are all sick and need healing powers and clean water. Our team... is actually the remnants of a large base in H City that was abandoned. Even if we escape now, we will still die if we don't get treatment and clean water."

"In fact, our abilities are very strong. If you or your base is willing to save us, we will definitely help you as much as possible."

Fu Erdie's brows slowly frowned.

She quickly asked a few questions about H City, including the conditions of several hills, and also asked her if she had ever heard of her parents' names.

The long-haired woman was indeed very familiar with H City, and all her descriptions were exactly the same as what Fu Erdie had learned when she lived with her parents in H City. However, she had never heard of her parents' names, and only knew where she might find a gathering place for the survivors.

Fu Erdie looked at her, then at her teammates, and slowly said, "I can give you food and water, but I can't do anything about taking you in."

She pointed to her small electric bike and said, "I can't fit so many people here. I can only carry you. If you can't fit your teammates, I can give them two 15L buckets of water and enough potatoes with healing effects to last for 10 days. You can come with us, and after you find your parents, I can give you a lot of water and potatoes. But I need to think about taking you back to my base."

The long-haired woman opened her mouth and said with difficulty: "Isn't your base hiring?"

Fu Erdie looked at the wound on her hand, then looked at the various ulcerated skins of her teammates. She felt soft-hearted for a moment, but still said, "No."

She had no plans to turn her community into a base, especially since she would have to visit her grandmother and aunt after returning this time.

If she was soft-hearted and sent these people back, then when she went to City D to look for someone, Cen Xiyang was the only person in her community whom she completely trusted. Could Cen Xiyang suppress so many people with special abilities?

In other words, was it necessary for her to cause Cen Xiyang so much trouble?

Fu Erdie felt that sending this group of people back was purely out of charity and would not bring any benefit to her. It would only add extra interpersonal relationships that needed to be balanced.

The short-haired woman opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say, so she could only look at the long-haired woman.

The long-haired woman was a little disappointed, but she swallowed her emotions and continued to fight for bargaining chips for herself and her teammates: "Can you give us a period of probation? We are just sick, we are not weak, and we will be very useful in the future."

Sang Wenhao knew Fu Erdie’s concerns and thought that it was because you were not weak that she didn’t dare to take you back.

The long-haired woman continued, "We have basically everything we need except healing and water-related abilities. We even have engineers who do mechanical and electrical maintenance and professors who do technical research."

She pointed at the only middle-aged lady who had not been infected and mutated by the river water. "She doesn't have special abilities. She was allowed to stay because she can do the infrastructure of the base. If it weren't for the urgent need to evacuate due to the flood, and if the base boss didn't listen to the advice of the technical department and insisted on abandoning Professor Zhao, our team would not have been qualified to recruit her."

Fu Erdie: “…”

Fu Erdie's heart was shamefully moved.

The long-haired woman had been observing Fu Erdie's demeanor, and seeing this, she took advantage of the situation and continued, "Actually, I also have special abilities. If I tell people about my special abilities, many people will sneer at them. But I have... a good luck buff..."

"puff!"

Fu Erdie couldn't help it and had a strange expression on her face.

What the hell is going on here? (End of this chapter)
