The Last Rock Emperor - Chapter 52

Chapter 52 Awakening Of Cauliflower
Morning, 16 May 2030.

Today was already the 15th day after the apocalypse erupted. Yifan stood in front of the windowsill of his room and looked at the off-road vehicles coming this way on the highway.

Fina, who was standing beside Yi Fan, said, “Brother Fan, there’s a car coming.”

Yifan nodded and said, “Well, it seems that there are survivors who are beginning to retreat to the county. Two days ago, I heard that the downtown area is almost gone. Many small survivor bases have been destroyed by zombies. Even the survivor base of the C City Armed Police Corps, which has the armed forces of the Government FU, is preparing to retreat.”

Fei Na said calmly, “Well, I’ll go take a look!”

Yifan said, “You go and see who saw our motorcade parked on the roadside. You go and see if I’ll be right there.”

A gust of wind blew past the window and Fina had already disappeared beside Yi Fan.

Moments later, Fei Na had already stealthily stood on the roof of the motorcade’s dregs truck.

On the highway, several off-road vehicles were parked behind Yifan’s convoy. The first one to get off the off-road vehicle was a man in his thirties.

The man was 1.8 meters tall. He wore a dark long-sleeved lower body and a pair of dark jeans. Beneath his feet were large leather shoes. His face was a little pale and his face looked tired. His lips seemed to be slightly dry from not drinking water for a long time. He was holding an iron baseball bat in his hand, and there was a trace of black blood stained on the stick.

He walked to the side of the tour bus of the Yifan convoy doubtfully, He peeked through the window and found no one. At this time, the man got out of the car and the two off-road vehicles behind him. There were four women, eight men and a total of twelve women. Most of the men were carrying messy weapons, while the women were unarmed. Everyone slowly approached Yifan’s convoy.

“Hu Bin, what’s the situation? Is there anyone in the car?” Said one of the women dressed like a hotel’s professional attire.

The dark-sleeved man said hoarsely, “There is no one in the car. However, this should be a group of survivors’ convoy. They should leave temporarily.”

“Looking at the car parked neatly in a driveway, it shouldn’t have abandoned the car and escaped. It seems like they parked it on their own initiative. Obviously, they will come back again.”

Just as Hu Bin was about to go up and open the car door to take a look, a few people in the small bamboo forest on the side of the highway quickly jumped onto the highway. A voice sounded, “I advise you not to randomly touch other people’s things.”

Hu Bin and the others beside him immediately turned to look at the person who had come, A man taller than him walked over. He looked about 20 years old and was quite handsome. He wore a pair of black eyeglasses. The most striking thing was that he was holding a long black spear that looked like a polished stone in his hand. Behind him, the two of them were holding hands made of the same material. Clearly, they were carrying weapons.

The person who had just spoken was Eyeglasses. Regardless of whether it was daytime or night, on the small platform on the third floor, the Heavenly Rock Five Birds Squad had arranged for two people to keep an eye on the surroundings of Yi Fan’s house every day. If anything happened, they would immediately inform their captain. Today, the Ape Squad was on guard. One of them immediately went to the basement to report the situation.

Eyeglasses, who was practicing martial arts, heard that someone was approaching their convoy and immediately brought two evolvers.

Eyeglasses looked at the group of 13 people who looked like a group of employees in a hotel. Some of them were dressed as employees, some were dressed as cooks, and some were dressed in exposed clothes. The man who was about to open the door seemed to be the leader of the group.

After a while, Hu Bin saw that everyone had an extraordinary aura and immediately smiled apologetically, “Brother, I didn’t mean anything else but to see a whole group of cars parked here and take a look.”

Eyeglasses said indifferently, “Now that the world has come to an end, it is better to keep some curiosity. Perhaps one day, I will be killed by this curiosity!”

Before Hu Bin could speak, a woman dressed in revealing clothes beside him opened her mouth and said, “Handsome man, don’t speak so rashly. We really don’t have any ill intentions. After saying that, we even threw glasses with charming eyes.”

Eyeglasses glanced at the woman with heavy makeup and ignored her as she continued to coldly say to Hu Bin, “Since there is no malice, I just want to take a look. Now that I’ve seen it, you guys should leave early.”

Hu Bin looked at the roof of a big house under the highway. ‘”Little brother, we just escaped from the Shengtian Hotel in the development zone. Two days ago, we ran out of water and food. We haven’t been in for two days. I think you guys have been resting here for a while. Can you give us a sip of water?” He said sincerely.

Glasses also noticed that the lips of these people were cracking. It was obvious that they hadn’t drunk water for a long time. Just as he was hesitating, Yifan got out of the bamboo forest and slowly walked towards them on the highway.

Hu Bin saw Yi Fan walking over. As soon as Yi Fan came out of the bamboo forest, he discovered that there were already two evolvers in his eyes. So, he slowly walked over.

In a short moment, Yi Fan arrived in front of his glasses, and the glasses whispered in Yi Fan’s ears.

Hu Bin saw another ordinary man with an aura as heavy as a mountain. He said again, “Forget it if it’s inconvenient. Let’s look in the cars along the way. There should be about 20 kilometers to LY County.”

Yi Fan knew the general situation from his glasses and said indifferently, “It can be considered a special fate to be able to meet here in this damn apocalypse. Although my abilities are limited, I can still give you a drink of saliva.”

As he spoke, he walked to the bus door, opened the door and walked in. He squatted down and quickly took out a new 4.5-liter barrel of Treasure Easy Barrel Mineral Water from his Heavenly Rock Ring. This was something Yifan and the others had gathered in the boys’ dormitory at that time. He took out a few more mutated rat jerky and walked out in a short while.

In the eyes of the crowd, Yi Fan rummaged inside, and when he came out, he had a black bag and a 4.5-litre barrel of Easy Treasure mineral water in his hand.

Yifan walked in front of Hu Bin and said, “That’s all I can help you with.”

Putting the things in his hands in front of Hu Bin, he turned around and walked in the direction of the bamboo forest with his glasses and the others.

“Fina, come out and pull, let’s go,” he shouted as he walked.

Just as Hu Bin and the others were puzzled, a figure leapt towards Yifan and the others from the rooftop of a dirt car not far behind them. In a moment, they arrived beside Yifan and the others quickly disappeared into the small bamboo forest.

Hu Bin and the people behind him felt their hair stand on end. The woman with heavy makeup said in surprise, “Brother Bin, when was that woman there?”

Hu Bin touched the cold sweat on his head and shook his head. He quickly picked up the black bag on the ground and opened it. He discovered that there were actually a few pieces of dried meat. Each piece of meat weighed 5-6 jin and looked like four or five pieces. He took a deep look at the small bamboo forest where Yifan and the others had disappeared. He carried the things on the ground and said with a trembling voice, “Get in the car, hurry up and leave.”

‘”Hu Bin, who are the men in black windbreaker and the women on the roof? Let’s see if they’re wearing strange clothes.” The co-driver of Hu Bin’s car sat on the woman in professional attire and said, “Hu Bin, who are the men in black windbreaker and the women on the roof?”

Hu Bin shook his head and said in fear, “I don’t know, but they are not ordinary people. Each of them is very strong. When that man approached me, I felt like a mountain was pressing down on me, making me feel a little out of breath.”

“As for the woman standing behind us, I don’t know when she was behind us, but I know that if we clash with them, we will probably die without knowing how.”

“In short, it’s just one sentence. Those people are terrifying, extremely terrifying!”

‘”Fortunately, we didn’t do anything excessive to their car, and our words were correct. Moreover, the person leading them didn’t mean to make things difficult for us, otherwise we would have to explain everything here today.”

When the woman heard this, she was shocked and said, “Really? Isn’t it that terrifying? Aren’t you an evolver?”

Hu Bin said indifferently, “Evolution also has different levels. The man who gave us dried meat and water and the woman on the roof are at least peak Second Grade Evolution, or even Third Grade. Do you know what Third Grade is?”

“Survivors’ base of the C City Armed Police Corps, a large survivors’ base with a city-wide broadcast announcement that Third Grade Evolution is proud of, to attract more survivors to gather there.”

‘”Let’s not talk about the man with the gun first. Just one of the two people standing behind the gun makes me feel like I’m no match. Now you know how terrifying those people were, don’t you?”

“Hiss ~!” Hearing that, the woman took a deep breath and stopped talking. Hu Bin also picked up a piece of meat jerky and began to chew it fiercely while driving.

Yifan and the others chatted as they walked, only to hear glasses ask, “Yifan, there were a few First Grade evolvers in that group just now, right?”

Yifan said indifferently, “Yes, there are two other people in the group behind him. However, they have just evolved and their auras are not very obvious.”

Eyeglasses said, “They should be heading to LY County. When are we leaving? Although we still have some dried meat on hand, there shouldn’t be much left in the other grain reserves, right? Shouldn’t we take advantage of this time to get a few?”

A thoughtful expression flashed in Yi Fan’s eyes as he said, “You’ve grown quite a bit. If it weren’t for Cauliflower not being awake, I would have left long ago. However, I reckon that I would have already left soon.”

Fina said worriedly, “Brother Fan, what happened to the cauliflower? After swallowing the Rat King’s corpse that day, she buried herself in the soil of the rice field. It has been five days since she moved. Is anything going to happen?”

Yifan pulled Fei Na’s hand and said, “Nothing will happen. Cauliflower is not an ordinary mutated beast. If an ordinary mutated beast dares to swallow the Rat King’s crystal nucleus and corpse together, it simply cannot withstand the explosive energy contained in the Rat King’s crystal nucleus and will immediately explode. Cauliflower only buried herself in the ground.”

“According to my guess, Cauliflower is in a dormant state. With its abnormal physical fitness, it will wake up very soon.”

“Mm, that’s good. I like cauliflower very much. I don’t want anything to happen to it.”

Fei Na seemed to be very concerned about Cauliflower’s safety.

“Yi Fan, let alone Fina, I feel that there is nothing missing on this journey. Thinking back to when we came out of school, if we didn’t have cauliflower, it would probably take us a while to get out.” He sighed and said, “Yi Fan, let alone Fina, I feel that there is nothing missing on this journey.”

Yifan nodded and didn’t say anything else. At this moment, everyone was already in front of the door, just as Yifan was about to open the door and enter.

“Bang ~ ~ ~ ~ ~!” The sound of something breaking through the ground could be heard.

‘”Hiss ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~!” The sound of a huge snake hissing resounded in the ears of the three of them.

Yi Fan burst out laughing and said, “Haha, Cauliflower has finally awakened. I wonder what kind of benefits he has obtained this time.”

Fei Na and Eyeglasses immediately followed after hearing the sound.

As soon as the three of them were discharged from the hospital, they saw a giant snake with a head covered in bone armor and black scales intersecting with silver and red lines swim towards Yifan and the others at an extremely fast speed.

When Yi Fan saw Cauliflower, he thought to himself, “Since Cauliflower has awakened, then the day of departure will be tomorrow.”
