As Gu Jincheng was thinking of her, Su Shanshan sneezed.
Fei Lan joked, “Sister Shanshan, is someone thinking about you?”
Su Shanshan could only think of one person’s face when she heard this. She smiled.
Fei Lan saw her reaction from the rearview mirror. The familiar smile made his heart beat irregularly again. He reached out to touch his heart. This was the first time in his 19 years that he had felt such a strong convulsion. He was at a loss.
Gu Zhao looked at him coldly and said, “Pay attention to the front.”
Fei Lan looked ahead and saw a zombie. He swerved the car quickly to avoid the zombies that were rushing over. Su Shanshan was thrown against the car door by this violent turn. She frowned and asked, “What’s wrong? Are you tired?”
Fei Lan said quickly, “No, I’m sorry. I was distracted just now. I’ll be careful.”
Su Shanshan did not notice but Gu Zhao looked at him for a long time.
They set off once again. They stood out among the cars waiting to follow the military truck. Mu Qing, who was following behind them, wanted to follow them but was stopped by Qi Cheng and Bai Ran.
It had not been an easy journey for them. Although they were following behind, Su Shanshan and the others would rush forward and crush the zombies they encountered. They did not dare to do so. If they encountered zombies, they had to fend for themselves. The journey was very difficult—if they continued to follow them, they would definitely die.
“Brother Mu Qing, it’s useless for us to follow her. That woman, Su Shanshan, has always been heartless. She won’t save us if we encounter danger. We might as well follow the soldiers,” Bai Ran said.
Mu Qing did not object. Although he wanted to follow Su Shanshan, his instincts told him not to.
Mu Qing suddenly felt a hot sensation in his body. He opened the window to let in some fresh air, but the breeze made his body even hotter.
“Brother Mu Qing, your hand!” Bai Ran saw that the wound on his arm had already started to swell and become inflamed, faintly emitting a rotten stench as she cried out.
This voice attracted the attention of the surrounding soldiers and they quickly surrounded her. When they saw Mu Qing’s appearance, they immediately pointed their guns at him and said, “You were scratched by the zombies?”
By now the government knew that being scratched or bitten by zombies could turn someone into a zombie.
When Mu Qing saw this situation, he quickly got out of the car and ran into the forest by the side of the road. Since the soldiers had a mission to complete, they did not chase after him. While Bai Ran and Qi Cheng were rejoicing in their hearts, they were examined by the soldiers. After seeing that there were no problems, they were released.
Su Shanshan and the rest were heading towards City M quickly. Once they reached the city, it was as if they had arrived at a zombie town.
Cars could no longer enter from the outside. They had to get out of the car. The moment they got out of the car, they saw another car pull up. Those people were unlucky. The moment they stopped the car, a zombie stuck itself to their car window.
“Ahhh! Help!” A female voice shrieked from the car.
Su Shanshan frowned and quickly gave Gu Zhao and Fei Lan a hand signal. Such a noisy person was definitely not allowed to go with them. Sure enough, in the next second, zombies walked towards that car. Colorful supernatural powers instantly rose from the car. Su Shanshan raised her brows slightly. No wonder they were so bold. It turned out that there were quite a number of superpowered people in the car.
Fei Lan looked enviously at the car opposite and then at his hands. He wanted to have supernatural powers too.
Su Shanshan patted him on the shoulder. “Your chance will come.”
Other than the first-generation superpowered people, there was another type of people who could activate their superpowers at the brink of death. Some people could even activate their superpowers after being infected by zombies. However, the chance for the latter to upgrade their powers was not as high as the former.
Taking advantage of the fact that the car across the street had attracted the attention of most of the zombies, they quickly sneaked into City M. Su Shanshan had stayed here for quite a while, so she was very familiar with the streets here. After making many turns, she led them towards an antique street.
They had not gone far when they heard voices behind them. Su Shanshan turned and saw what they had been dreading. The group of people from the car had followed them.. And they were being followed by a horde of zombies.
