Chapter 334: Chapter 3834: By Coincidence
Because the car was blocking the way, Su Xiangzhe had to stop the car.
It was already autumn, yet a man with his upper body bare got out of that car. Though his muscles seemed pretty impressive, wasn’t he cold without a shirt?
Could it be that he had no clothes to wear?
The man rubbed the back of his head, checked the rear tire of his car, and then looked apologetically at the two cars behind him as if he were saying sorry.
As soon as the cars stopped, the zombies swarmed around them. The man seemed to want to come over to greet them, but a Fire Element Mutated Zombie cut off his path, and so a fight broke out between the man and the zombie in front of the two cars.
Oh.
...
Su Jin sighed. She had hoped to get back early, but it looked like they had to clear out zombies again.
When someone got out of the car, the man thrust an Ice blade into the zombie’s head and then froze the ground around him, causing a circle of zombies to slip and fall.
He then slid across the ice towards a family’s direction.
“Sorry for blocking your way,”
The shirtless man said as he skated up to the family, seemingly showing off his muscles intentionally or unintentionally.
The crowd: …
“No worries, I’ll clear these zombies out in a bit, just hang on a sec,”
Although the man spoke as if he was talking to himself, he turned around and started slaughtering the surrounding zombies.
The family naturally didn’t just stand by and wait for someone else to kill the zombies; they, too, began to fight.
Lin Xiuyuan kept his eyes on the man, wondering how someone with the same Ice Element could be so flashy.
He can even skate…
“Really an eyesore,” Lin Xiuyuan said.
While everyone else dressed as heavily as possible to avoid being touched by zombies, this man wore nothing on his upper body. Wasn’t he afraid of being grabbed?
“He has a layer of ice on his body; the zombies probably can’t break through it,”
Su Jin observed, then commented.
The zombies on the road weren’t many and they cleared them all within fifteen minutes.
It turned out that the man was trying to reach a nearby base, but he had been tricked out of his car and luggage earlier, leaving him with only a nearly junked car which he was driving when it broke down before reaching the base.
Learning that Su Xiangzhe and the others were heading to the base, the man clasped his hands together pleadingly and said, “Please give me a lift. I’ll pay for the ride.”
After speaking, he took out a Crystal Core from his trouser pocket and made to hand it to Su Xiangzhe.
Su Xiangzhe turned to look at Su Jin; their car could indeed take one more person. Seeing Su Jin nod, Su Xiangzhe accepted the Crystal Core and said, “Come aboard.”
The man, named Zeng Xiang, was very talkative. As soon as he got into the car, he started conversing with Lin Xiuyuan.
He had been traveling with a group of teammates previously.
After encountering a horde of zombies, only he and a mother and daughter who had hidden themselves remained from his team. Originally, he had intended to split their supplies and part ways since he did not get along well with the duo. Unexpectedly, they accused him of wanting to abandon them with no care.
After a huge argument, the mother and daughter took advantage of him sleeping and drove away with the team’s supplies and the only car left. He managed to follow them quickly, hitting one of them in the shoulder.
“That… I want to ask, what are the names of that mother and daughter?”
Su Jin remembered the Liu Meifang and the two she met in the hospital the day before; it couldn’t be such a coincidence…
“Liu Meifang and Cui Xiaoya,”
the man said through gritted teeth.
“…”
