Chapter 123 She Misses Pei Sinian
As the sun began to set in the west, the shadows of the trees gradually lengthened, and with the help of the remaining twilight, one could barely make out the buildings in the distance.
Along the way, they occasionally encountered small groups of zombies blocking their way, but they were all smashed by the car that was clearing the way. Meng Xiaoyou silently watched the smashed zombie bodies and didn't dare to make a sound in the back seat.
Several seemingly intelligent zombies did not stand in the middle of the road. Instead, they watched the three cars leave, their empty eye sockets staring at the spot with a hint of fear.
Finally, before nightfall, we entered a small county town.
As day turned into night, the silver disc of the sun hung high in the sky, only to be obscured by dark clouds once more. Mu Qingfeng turned on his headlights and flashed them. The car in front received the signal and stopped on the side of the road.
Several tall, burly superhumans got out of the car, quickly chose a two-story building, cleared out the zombies inside, and then came out and said, "Young Master Mu, Miss Su, you can get out of the car now."
This county town is not big or developed. Even the tallest building is only seven stories high, and the surrounding buildings, large and small, are mostly four stories high.
This is a two-story building with a sign that reads "Shidai Internet Cafe". Naturally, many people who come to internet cafes stay up all night. The second floor provides a rest area. Including Meng Xiaoyou, there were eleven people in total.
There were many rooms, but to prevent any danger at night, the group was divided into two groups and two rooms.
There weren't many beds in the room, and Meng Xiaoyou didn't want to talk to Su Lanyue and the others, so she found a cushion and sat in the corner to grow mushrooms.
She originally planned to run away as soon as she got off the bus, but it was already pitch black outside, and she couldn't drive. Apart from this county town called Muquan County, there was nowhere to rest.
She couldn't just lie down on the roadside. Putting aside the possibility of zombies, the temperature of minus twenty or thirty degrees Celsius would be enough to freeze her into an ice mushroom.
So, I'll figure out how to escape tomorrow morning...
As Mushroom thought this, her eyelids began to droop. If it weren't for today's unexpected event, she should be lying on the hillside in hibernation at the manor... She wondered how Xiao Moqiong and Pei Sinian were doing.
Meanwhile, the man being talked about calmly climbed out of the ditch. His clothes were disheveled and covered in snow. He casually shook his clothes and stared into thought at the car with its four wheels still turning in the ditch.
Should we go back and arrest someone to drive?
Mr. Zombie's driving skills were already poor, not to mention the slippery roads and freezing temperatures in the snow, and his limbs were stiff. If he could still drive normally under such conditions, then there would be no need for humans to go through the trouble of getting a driver's license. If even corpses can drive, can't they reflect on their own behavior?
Getting back to the point, Mr. Zombie stared at the car wheels for a few seconds, and between the choice of undignifiedly flipping the car over or finding another car, he chose to send a zombie to rob a convoy and blend into the crowd.
"Hey buddy, you're pretty skilled. What are you doing standing in this godforsaken place at night? We're heading to City B, where are you going?"
The leader of this convoy was named Gu Jianguo. He was a rather unkempt man with a full beard. He sat in the back seat, a cigarette dangling from his mouth and a beautiful woman in his arms. He looked at Pei Sinian in the passenger seat with a hint of trying to win him over.
Just now, their convoy encountered dozens of zombies, which were easily wiped out by this young man. Everything happened so fast that their convoy didn't even have time to see what kind of superpower it was before the crisis was resolved.
Communication was not working properly in the apocalypse. Gu Jianguo and his group were sent by City B to scout intelligence in other cities and were now on their way back to report. Seeing that Pei Sinian was very strong, they decided to have him join them.
The smell of smoke inside the car grew stronger. The man in front frowned, tapped his leg with his fingertips, and a large stream of water suddenly poured down, instantly soaking the two people huddled together. The air instantly became much fresher. Pei Sinian calmly withdrew his gaze and looked at the dark night sky and the zombies that had been run over by vehicles on both sides of the road.
The tire tracks are in this direction, and that heartless idiot... just ran away like that.
Gu Jianguo felt a chill run down his spine, and his temper flared up instantly. However, through the mirror in the center of his face, he saw the man's indifferent face and the shocking darkness in his eyes. His gaze was like that of a wild beast ready to hunt, locking onto its target, its sharp teeth poised to tear open the prey's throat and devour it whole.
A grown man felt a chill run down his spine, and the curse he was about to utter instantly stuck in his throat.
--
Even the sleeping mushroom felt a chill. It curled up into a tiny ball in the corner, let out a pitiful sob, and unconsciously called out someone's name.
There's a saying among humans: "A day apart feels like three autumns." In the past, the mushroom couldn't empathize with humans, but now it seems to have been assimilated by them.
Even in my dreams, I see that person's image; at night, I wake up several times in a daze.
All that awaited her were cold walls and annoying humans resting not far away.
She hugged her arms tightly, drooped her head, and even the tuft of hair on her head looked limp. If she were in mushroom form now, she would probably just be a pitiful purple umbrella.
That night was long and frustrating. Until two or three in the morning, I vaguely heard someone singing.
She forced herself to stay awake, then looked at the others who seemed unresponsive, and wondered if she was hallucinating.
After an unknown amount of time, the others finally made a move.
Meng Xiaoyou, who had finally fallen asleep again, was woken up by the noise and heard them say, "Why isn't it dawn yet?"
Mushroom yawned, thinking to itself, "Whether it's dawn or not, what am I supposed to do? I might as well just go to sleep."
"No, there's some noise outside."
Everyone immediately became alert, rustling as they tidied their clothes and went outside.
For a moment, the room was empty and dark.
Meng Xiaoyou glanced around and saw that only the insects were left beside her. Like small animals huddling together for warmth, she nervously moved closer and patted "Jiang Xiaofeng" on the shoulder.
She still can't remember the other person's name, so she can only call them by their nickname: "Bug, shall we go out and take a look?"
The ground beneath her hands was icy cold, somewhat like Pei Sinian's body temperature. Meng Xiaoyou found this strange. Suddenly, the figure moved, turned around, and revealed a face with skin that wasn't human. It bared its serrated teeth, like a shark's, and grinned at Meng Xiaoyou, "Roar—"
Meng Xiaoyou: "!!!"
She cried out, and then there were hurried footsteps outside the door. Su Lanyue and the others who had just left were back, shining flashlights in their hands.
"what happened?"
As darkness suddenly gave way to light, Meng Xiaoyou was still a little disoriented. She covered her eyes with one hand, curled up in a corner, and pointed at Jiang Xiaofeng, saying, "It looks like a zombie...it looks like a zombie."
