“Swoosh—”
“Swoosh—”
“Swoosh—”
A series of flaming arrows flew towards the zombies.
The flames burned a long barrier through the pile of zombies.
Han Qingxia saw several men and women with half of their bodies exposed from the sunroof of a modified off-road vehicle on the hillside outside the railway line, drawing their bows and aiming at the full moon. The off-road vehicle rushed forward while flaming arrows flew out.
The fire was started by a girl among them who was wearing a black leather jacket and had her hair in a messy braid.
Their arrows were sharpened after being dried in the sun, and the tips were hung with oil-covered bamboo.
It caught fire the moment it was touched, and after landing, it made a crackling sound. The sound and the flames temporarily blocked the group of zombies. During this gap, the off-road vehicle stopped beside Han Qingxia with a sizzling sound, and the door opened towards them, "Hurry up and get in the car!"
The girl with her dirty braided hair stood on the roof of the car and said to Han Qingxia with her bright starry eyes.
Han Qingxia didn't move. Her eyes moved from the girl to her companions, scanning them one by one with her mental detection.
The girl has fire and space abilities, and the two men next to her have water and gold abilities as well as speed and strength abilities.
All three of them are dual-type esper.
"Ho ho ho!"
“Ouch!”
"Hurry up, or the guys will be here soon!"
She urged again. By this time, it was already evening. The sky in City F had become gloomy, and a cloud of green smoke was rising from the direction of the chemical plant.
Seeing this, Han Qingxia did not hesitate any longer. She pulled Qin Ke and got into their car.
After getting in the car, Han Qingxia heard a beast-like growl in the thick fog outside.
“Ho ho ho—”
"You are so lucky to have run into us. If it had been any later, you would have been dead." said the dirty-braided girl.
"Xiao Jiu, stop talking nonsense." At this time, the man next to the girl interrupted her.
He looks about 60% like the girl with the dirty braid, so they must be siblings.
"Hehe," the dirty-braided girl called Xiaojiu laughed. Her laugh was extremely cheerful and enthusiastic, revealing two sweet dimples. This kind of smile was extremely rare in the apocalypse.
"My name is Lu Sijiu, what's your name?"
"Han Qingxia." Han Qingxia said directly, "This is my companion Qin Ke."
After she greeted, the men around Lu Sijiu greeted them one by one.
"My name is Lu Sizhe, and I'm Xiaojiu's older brother."
This is the dual-element supernatural power of water and gold.
"My name is Lin Wang, and I'm good friends with Sizhe and Xiaojiu."
Han Qingxia nodded to them.
There were two more people in the front seat.
A man and a woman.
The painting styles of these two people are a little different from the following three.
The co-pilot was a quiet girl. She turned her head and glanced at Han Qingxia, and said with a slightly sad tone, "My name is Chang Fu."
The man driving the car in the cab simply didn't say a word.
He looked grimly at the road ahead and drove along the hill beside the railway track, bypassing the group of zombies.
The aura is quite cold.
"His name is Song Mu, and he doesn't like to talk normally." Lu Sijiu said at this time.
Han Qingxia withdrew her gaze and took in the situations of the people in the car.
There are three men and two women in total, all of them are young people, and most of them are dual-system psychics.
The girl named Chang Fu is of the wood and space types, and the one driving the car surprised Han Qingxia because she didn't have any special abilities.
Han Qingxia repeatedly used her mental power to detect and confirmed that there was no supernatural power.
The only ordinary person inside.
"Where is your base?" Han Qingxia asked.
"Base? We don't have a base." Lu Sijiu shrugged. "We all met on the road. We got together and wanted to go home. We drove all the way back from the imperial capital. We have been to several homes. Now the only one left is Chang Fu's home. Her home is in F City."
"The Imperial Capital? So far?"
"Yes, it's very far, so we've been driving here for four years, dodging crowds and zombies all the way, and driving here little by little." Lu Sijiu said, "By the way, what are you doing in F City?"
"Looking for someone."
When Lu Sijiu heard these two words, his eyes immediately lit up, "What a coincidence! You and I are going the same way, we can travel together!"
"Ahem!" Lu Sizhe interrupted her and looked at Han Qingxia and Qin Ke with scrutiny, "Who are you looking for?"
"A very important person."
"Where is that person?"
"Near F City South Bus Station."
"Brother! They are going to the South Bus Station! The same place as Chang Fu's house!"
"Don't talk." Lu Sizhe glanced at her, and he looked at Han Qingxia seriously, "We can take you with us, but you can't make trouble, and all actions must be carried out according to our orders! If you can't do that, we won't take you with us!"
Han Qingxia: "...Okay."
Just then, the window outside their car was filled with blue fog.
Song Mu, who was driving, slowed down the car and stopped it beside the railway.
Lu Sijiu in the car turned on a button, and a purifier in the car started to turn, ensuring the air inside the car.
"I said you are lucky, see?" Lu Sijiu said, "This poisonous gas outside will drift out every morning and evening. If you have no place to hide in the wild, you will inhale it. Inhaling too much will harm your body."
Han Qingxia frowned, "What is this?"
"I don't know either. Maybe something leaked from the chemical plant."
"Can it be leaked for four years?"
"Who knows? Anyway, we saw this poisonous gas since we came here."
"When did you come? How long have you been observing?"
"Half a year ago, we arrived in F City a month ago, and we discovered this poisonous fog as soon as we arrived. We inhaled a little bit at that time, and the next day we had a fever and coughed up blood. All of us stopped and organized ourselves in the suburbs, not daring to go in. We just packed up today and ran into you. Isn't that a coincidence?"
"It's quite a coincidence." Han Qingxia said.
"It was God's will that we met more companions. We had quite a few companions at the beginning, but they joined and left because it was too far to drive from the capital to City F. Many people couldn't stand it anymore and left. Some also left after seeing their families gone. In the end, only a few of us were able to walk to City F." Lu Sijiu's tone was a little sad. "We haven't seen any new companions for more than a year."
After listening to this, Han Qingxia looked at these people again.
These people's complexions are not the best, but they are all strong and healthy. There are two space mutants among them, so it seems that they have sufficient supplies.
With sufficient supplies and sufficient strength, these people can indeed live like this.
As a species, the vast majority of humans yearn for stability and living in groups, but some people like to wander on the road.
Just like one of her subordinates, Lin Ming, he was a wanderer in his previous life, going wherever he went.
Because they have a certain level of strength, this kind of free life is much better than being in the base.
