Chapter 96: The ten-year-old driver (two in one)

Since both teams were strong and not the kind of people who liked to meddle in other people's business, they traveled very quickly to Yuanheng County. A journey that would normally take three days was completed in just one and a half days.

"Going further ahead is Yuanheng County. According to the last distress message the base received, the trapped researchers are in an abandoned underground air-raid shelter near the south of Yuanheng County."

There was an open map in front of everyone, and Hsiao Lou circled the locations of the trapped people with his finger.

"We are here now. To get to the air-raid shelter where the trapped researchers are, we have to pass through a concentrated residential area where people lived before the apocalypse. The number of zombies in this area is expected to be no less than 10,000. How to get through here quickly and safely is one of the difficulties this rescue operation will face."

Then Xiao Lou pointed out their location and the rescue route on the map.

The person in charge of this mission is Xiao Lou, so Yan Mo and the others naturally would not take the initiative to compete for the job of mission leader.

It had been made very clear before they came that their relationship was limited to a cooperative one, and that there had not been any major problems with Xiao Lou's arrangements so far, so they just had to listen.

If there really was something wrong with Xiao Lou's arrangement, Yan Mo would definitely not just listen and say nothing.

"The number of zombies is one thing, and on the other hand, we can't be sure whether there are any mutated zombies or high-level zombies among them. If we use heavy weapons, the noise will be too loud and it is likely to attract more zombies."

"When we pass by here later, speed will be the priority. It's the best option to pass through this area quickly." Xiao Lou expressed his thoughts.

"Well, Xiangwen, Qimai, you two will output together later. Qimai will separate a part of his superpowers and attach them to the wheels to speed up the car. I will use my superpowers to pay attention to the surrounding situation at all times. If there is anything wrong, I will warn you in advance."

Yan Mo made arrangements for his team.

Not interfering with the other team's arrangements was also something we agreed upon in advance.

After discussing the tactics, the group got back into the car.

"Why didn't you mention me? What do I need to do?"

Without waiting for the arrangements, Shu Xin secretly tugged at the corner of Yan Mo's clothes and said curiously.

"You need to be responsible for the personal safety of the three of us. When we deal with the zombies later, we must not be distracted. We need you to drive and take us to avoid the zombies we missed."

Yan Mo stuffed Shu Xin into the driver's seat and solemnly told her his plans for her.

Shu Xin: “…”

Help, why do I feel like I'm being treated like a child?!

Their conversation just now was very much like a kid who, seeing that others have something to do, also wants to have something to do, so he goes to his parents to apply for a job, and then is assigned a job that has no challenges, which is used to comfort the child.

"Don't worry, I'm a woman with more than ten years of driving experience. I will definitely get you out safely."

Shuxin snorted unconvinced.

"More than ten years of driving age?! Sister-in-law, you are kidding, right? You are only twenty years old this year, how can you be more than ten years of driving age? The way I saw you driving before, it didn't seem like that."

Surprised by Shuxin's statement that he had been driving for more than ten years, Xiangwen asked in astonishment as he lay down between the driver's seat and the passenger seat.

"I was able to drive bumper cars and go-karts when I was five years old, so I have been driving for more than ten years. Is there any problem?"

"Ah, this..." Xiangwen didn't know how to respond.

"Um?"

"No problem, no problem at all, sister-in-law, your driving age is absolutely real! I believe you!"

"If you could unbuckle the seat belt you just put on, your words would still be somewhat convincing."

Shuxin watched in silence as Xiangwen said, "Believe in yourself," fastened his seat belt, and then confirmed it again out of concern.

"Hahahahaha, hey! Sister-in-law, the car in front has started to move away, let's catch up!"

Unable to explain his behavior, Xiangwen laughed awkwardly and quickly changed the subject.

"Hmph!" Shu Xin ignored him, turned around, started the car, and followed the car in front.

After Shu Xin turned her head away, Mu Qimai, who was sitting next to Fu Xiangwen, stretched out his hand like lightning, pulled out the seat belt, and fastened the safety buckle. He did it in one go, and the whole process took less than three seconds, leaving Fu Xiangwen next to him stunned.

“You…you…”

Makimai only gave the other party a look that said "you are stupid", leaving Pi Xiangwen alone to flutter in the wind.

He has learned bad things! Mu Qimai has learned bad things by following Yan Mo!

Yan Mo was sitting in the passenger seat, looking at them with a smile on his lips. I accidentally saw the comfort on Yan Mo's smile, my feet became unsteady, and I stepped on the brakes.

The car, which had just started, braked suddenly. Xiangwen, who was not sitting firmly, leaned forward due to inertia and was pulled back heavily by the seat belt, hitting the back of the chair.

Yan Mo and Mu Qimai's bodies also moved uncontrollably, but they were not as miserable as Fu Xiangwen.

The three of them looked at Shu Xin in unison.

Just now Yan Mo thought that his wife was joking with Shu Xiangwen. Now, Yan Mo, who had originally been quite confident in Shu Xin, became uncertain.

Not sure how good my wife's driving skills are.

"Hey, hey, it was an accident. It was definitely an accident! You have to trust my driving skills! I'm an experienced driver!"

Shu Xin laughed awkwardly twice and started to defend herself.

"Yes, yes, yes. We believe you, sister-in-law. Please watch your way carefully."

Fu Xiangwen and Makimai nodded their heads quickly, raised their hands to grab the handrail above the window, and stabilized their bodies.

"Actually, I'm a pretty good driver..."

This explanation seems pale and weak, and it makes the situation worse.

Shit! He actually picked up a rock and hit his own foot!

She really couldn't be blamed for accidentally stepping on the brakes just now. It was because she caught a glimpse of Yan Mo looking at them with a fatherly smile on his face and couldn't control her feet!

Unable to explain clearly, Shu Xin simply shut up and stopped explaining. She swore in her heart that when the time came, she would prove her real skills to them.

Prove that I’m really good at driving, no joke!

As soon as they entered Yuanheng County, they encountered zombies and dealt with them by just raising their hands. There was no interference at all. Shuxin drove steadily along the way and nothing went wrong.

Sitting in the car, Ni Xiangwen and Makimai gradually relaxed their vigilance at such a steady speed. They withdrew their hands from the handrails and their attention was attracted by the zombies outside.

A hand reached out from the car in front and stuck a red flag on the roof of the car, reminding the cars behind that they were about to enter the residential area that had just been cordoned off.

As soon as he saw the flag, Shu Xin immediately perked up his energy and looked intently at the road ahead.

The number of zombies has increased significantly. The roads in the old residential areas are narrow and have many forks. Zombies keep jumping directly from the buildings.

!!!!

This is considered throwing objects from a high altitude!!!

In order to show off her superb driving skills, Shu Xin drove the car to the extreme to avoid the zombies jumping down from above, and she didn't notice the other three people in the car who were thrown into a mess by her sudden show of skills.

He didn't bother to use his supernatural powers to clean up the zombies, and hurriedly used his hands to find support in the car to steady his body.

Even the white tiger and snow wolf lying on the roof of the car were thrown off unexpectedly, and looked at the car in confusion as it continued to move forward in an S-shaped curve.

Seeing that the zombies were about to approach the car, the white tiger and snow wolf that were thrown off reacted quickly, rushed forward and raised their claws to knock the zombies away.

With the White Tiger and the Snow Wolf protecting and cushioning the car outside, Yan Mo, Mu Xiangwen, and Mu Qimai managed to keep themselves steady. They felt quite frightened, and at the same time swore in their hearts that they would never let Shuxin drive again under such circumstances in the future!

They are old, and their old arms and legs can't stand such stimulating activities, and they can't stand it after a few times.

The zombies that kept coming outside made the three people unable to think about anything else. They immediately activated their special abilities to join the battle, but one of them held on to the window handrail tightly.

I was so absorbed in the joy of driving that I didn't notice the other three people at all.

Maybe it was because Yan Mo and the other two wanted to quickly end the torture of being tossed around in the car, so the attack power of the supernatural power released with one hand was not weak at all.

It was half an hour faster than Xiao Lou had expected before departure.

As soon as the car stopped, Xiangwen and Mu Qimai rushed out of the car, held onto a tree by the roadside and vomited violently. Yan Mo's face also turned pale.

Shu Xin was about to ask for praise, but the words got stuck in her throat.

Thinking back to his own graceful operation just now and looking at the pale faces of the three people, Shu Xin felt inexplicably guilty.

"Here, lemon mint candy, it will make you feel better if you put it in your mouth."

He rummaged around in the car and found a bag of candy, handed two to Yan Mo, then got out of the car and gave two each to Xiangwen and Mu Qimai.

"Don't worry, we're fine."

Yan Mo saw that his wife looked a little guilty, so he reached out and rubbed her hair, comforting her.

"That's right, sister-in-law, don't worry. The three of us are just carsick. It's not a big deal. Don't take it to heart."

Putting the candy in his mouth, Xiangwen finally felt that he was alive again, and he also spoke to comfort himself.

"Well, Fu Xiangwen is right." Unable to think of any words to comfort him, Mu Qimai chose to agree with what Fu Xiangwen said.

Shuxin was comforted by the three people who got carsick because of her showing off her driving skills, and her originally guilty mood suddenly became more complicated.

In the beginning, because of Yan Mo's relationship, Fu Xiangwen and Maki Mai took good care of her. Later, after spending more time together, they became good friends. Although they usually fought with each other, because of their age and the fact that she was the only girl in the team, they always took care of her like a younger sister.

Even if she made a mistake, he would not blame her. He might even worry that she was overthinking it and comfort her instead.

Shuxin felt a sore nose and her eyes turned slightly red.

So, she is really lucky.

The members of Xiao Lou's team expressed their understanding of why Xiangwen and Makimai suffered from carsickness and vomited, and expressed their deep sympathy for them.

Just now, when they occasionally looked back, they saw the car's wild route forward, and now seeing their miserable condition of carsickness, they silently lit a candle for them in their hearts.

At the same time, I couldn't help but feel lucky that my teammates were reliable drivers.

After resting for half an hour, they were still about ten kilometers away from the underground air-raid shelter where the trapped scientific researchers were.

Yan Mo and the other three did not choose to drive, so they asked Shu Xin to put the car into the space, and the four of them got on the backs of their pets.

White Tiger and Snow Wolf carried them away. The experience in the car just now was not a pleasant one, and the four of them didn't want to see cars anymore.

The reason why Shu Xin didn't want to see the car was that she felt ashamed and sorry for the trust placed in her by Yan Mo and the others. As for the reasons why Yan Mo, Fu Xiangwen and Mu Qimai didn't want to see the car, those who understand will understand.

"I'm tired of saying envious. Woohoo, I also want to ride a mutant. They look really majestic."

Lan Jingming leaned against the car window, looking at Yan Mo and his team on the backs of the white tiger and the snow wolf, and his tone of voice was filled with undisguised envy.

Although the other people in the car didn't say anything, the faint envy in their eyes when they looked at Yan Mo and the others was unmistakable.

"When we go out on missions in the future, we can pay attention to this aspect and see if we can also have a mutant animal of our own."

Xiao Lou saw a hint of envy in everyone's eyes, thought for a moment and then spoke.

"Wow! Long live the captain!"

Lan Jingming cheered happily. Even though he didn't get the mutant animal in the end, what Xiao Lou said at this time was an encouragement to him.

The ten-kilometer journey took them fifty minutes to reach their destination due to the road conditions.

When we arrived outside the destination, we could see a dense circle of zombies surrounding the underground air-raid shelter. They must have been attracted here by the people inside who escaped.

The strange thing is that the people inside are hiding in the air-raid shelter, and the smell coming out is very slight. According to the normal behavior of zombies, they cannot get the food inside, so they will choose to give up and will not stay outside for too long.

Now, three days have passed since the base in City C received the distress message and asked Xiao Lou and his team to come out to carry out the rescue mission. The zombies that were attracted here should have dispersed and should not be blocking the outside like this still.

Yan Mo sensed something was wrong and released his mental power to explore the situation around him. Finally, his mental power found a fourth-level zombie not far from them.

That fourth-level zombie was not a psychic type, otherwise it would not have failed to respond to Yan Mo's psychic detection.

"Behind the pile of rocks in the upper left corner, there is a fourth-level zombie."

Yan Mo took Shu Xin and the others to the side of Xiao Lou's team, lowered his voice and reminded them.

"Level 4?!"
