Chapter 396 -396 Trapped

“`

The villagers all noticed that today, they actually got to eat thick white porridge and steamed buns that were much whiter than before, and each person even had a small piece of corn and half a boiled egg to eat?!

Yan Gang specifically took a loudspeaker to explain to everyone in the canteen courtyard that they had found a team selling grain outside and had exchanged for new food from them. Today, everyone had united in fighting off the Zombie Tide and had also helped to mine so many Crystal Cores, so everyone had a share, and everyone could be full!

This news set the village abuzz. What kind of team selling food was this? They even had white rice and white flour?

At this moment, in the second floor of the small courtyard, Lin Xiuyuan and his companions also looked on in surprise at Lian Jiyue, who was devouring his food. Hadn’t he eaten his fill at noon? How could he be so hungry again by the afternoon?!

After this brief period of cohabitation, Su Jin and Lu Hao unanimously felt that the current Lian Jiyue was like a blank slate; he seemed to understand nothing and care about nothing, and the only thing he cared about was Qiqi. Maybe it was because only Mao Qiqi could understand what he was saying.

He still couldn’t speak. Qiqi had also tried to get him to talk, but all he could do was open his mouth without making a sound.

When eating, he only wanted meat. Seeing this, Su Jin simply took out a pot of chilled stewed beef Lin Yunguo had prepared and placed it in front of him.

Slap!

Two chopsticks were tossed aside by Lian Jiyue, who then began to eat with his hands again.

“Xiao Yue, don’t use your hands, that’s very unhygienic,”

Mao Qiqi said as she picked up another clean pair of chopsticks and handed them to Lian Jiyue.

“Xiao Yue? What the heck is that?” Lin Xiuyuan couldn’t help but ask.

“That’s his name, I just think it sounds more natural to call him that,”

Mao Qiqi explained, not admitting that calling him this made him seem cuter.

True to Mao Qiqi’s words, Lian Jiyue started to use the chopsticks to spear a large chunk of beef and then lifted it to eat.

“Tsk tsk tsk, only we could afford to feed him like this,” Lin Xiuyuan said, watching Lian Jiyue eating the meat in big bites, feeling like their team had indeed taken in someone extraordinary.

He looked jealously at Lian Jiyue, who was clad in new clothes. The outfit, which Su Jin had taken out of her Space, was nothing more than a hoodie with jeans, yet why did this man look so handsome in it?! Before, there was only one cold and handsome guy in the team, her brother-in-law, and now there was another handsome young man, making him feel instantly like he had become the least impressive one.

Actually, Lin Xiuyuan was only shorter than Lu Hao and Lian Jiyue; plus, with his large double-lidded eyes, he would give off the impression of the boy next door at first glance.

…

Su Jin’s group left the village early the next morning. By that time, everyone from Xing Taian’s team had come to see them off. Dr. Pei and his companions all felt that the villagers were incredibly warm and hospitable, not only did they let them stay overnight, but they also saw them off with such enthusiasm. Truly, there was still humanity in the Apocalypse!

To get back to the S City base as soon as possible, they dared not let Lu Hao drive again and had Lin Xiuyuan drive instead.

Getting Dr. Pei and his people back was their most urgent task at the moment.

It was only after Lin Xiuyuan had driven the car onto the road to E City that he finally sighed with relief; now they could finally return the same way they came.

Lian Jiyue and Mao Qiqi sat together in the back row. Qiqi felt somewhat helpless; Lian Jiyue liked being with her too much, insisting on sleeping next to her bed at night, and only after much persuasion did he return to his own room.

But the next morning, as soon as she opened the door, she found Lian Jiyue squatting at her doorstep.

In the front row, Local Tyrant Gold perked up its ears and huddled anxiously in Su Jin’s arms. It had just come out of the Space today, and the moment that man saw it, he started crazily chasing after it.

It almost got crushed into mush by that person, if Mao Qiqi hadn’t stopped Lian Jiyue just in time, it truly believes it would have become a dead monkey by now.

That man was terrifying!

At the moment, Lian Jiyue was frowning looking outside the car window, where many zombies were chasing after the vehicle, some throwing their special abilities at the car continuously. The reinforced vehicle wasn’t too afraid of those special ability attacks, but Lian Jiyue couldn’t sit still anymore.

“What’s wrong with him?”

Su Jin, hearing the scratching at the window behind her, couldn’t help but ask Qiqi.

“Sister Xiao Jin, he seems to want to go out and kill zombies. He says those zombies are attacking us…” Mao Qiqi replied.

Su Jin sighed; they of course knew that those zombies were attacking them, but right now, they just wanted to leave City E as quickly as possible.

“Tell him we’ll wait until there are enough zombies outside before we go out and kill them together.”

Nie Qing also disliked the sound of scratching at the window; it made her feel as if her heart was growing fur.

Mao Qiqi nodded, appeased Lian Jiyue for a while longer, and then the scratching noise finally stopped.

After driving for some time, the group finally drove out of City E, but even before they could breathe a sigh of relief, they realized that the number of zombies on both sides was increasing.

“We didn’t notice so many zombies here when we came.”

Lin Xiuyuan pressed the gas pedal harder, as a Power Element zombie stood in front of their vehicle, forcefully blocking their progress; the car’s side mirrors had long been torn off by the zombies clawing at the vehicle.

“The road ahead is already filled with zombies; within the range of my map, there are at least five to six thousand zombies,” Mao Qiqi felt her scalp tingle.

Thousands of zombies, surrounding two vehicles, they feared they could hardly move an inch.

How could there be so many?!

Su Jin and Lu Hao also felt it was tricky; turning back now was impossible, as the zombies that had been following them had blocked the road too.

“I’ll use the Man-eating Flower.”

Su Jin frowned and said, at this point, with their numbers insufficient, they could only rely on the Man-eating Flower to carve a path forward.

“Okay.”

Lu Hao agreed; it was too dangerous to go out now, and he relayed the current situation to the vehicle behind them.

“Alright, we’ll listen to you, you guys be careful, we’re not in urgent trouble for now,”

Ren Yingjie’s voice came through, trembling, indicating they were also quite frightened.

Both vehicles were now completely swarmed with densely packed zombies, and from a distance, it was impossible to tell there were cars among the piles of zombies. Su Jin’s biggest worry at the moment was Dr. Pei’s car; if it encountered high-level mutated zombies, they would be in trouble.

A section of vine crawled out through a gap in the car roof; just opening a small slit allowed many rotten zombie hands to reach in, at which Lian Jiyue bared his teeth in frustration, looking as though he couldn’t wait to leap at them.

“Xiao Yue, we can only go out later, it’s too dangerous outside right now,”

Mao Qiqi tugged at Lian Jiyue’s sleeve as she spoke.

Only then did Lian Jiyue sit back down, but he still stared fiercely at the zombies smacking the window outside.
