Chapter 26: Finding Xiao Yi Fei
Sang Jing Wen was painting the car seat when he suddenly stopped and turned to look at Lu Min Feng:
“If you want to build a base, I suggest you explore the deep mountains. You don’t need to modify Sang Sang’s hovercar, it will be very safe for you. In the deep mountains, firstly, mutated plants will provide camouflage, so you won’t be discovered by others in a short time. Secondly, there are many zombies in the deep mountains, and most people won’t venture there easily. This is the best choice for our early development.”
After speaking, Sang Jing Wen said to Sang Chu, “Sang Sang, how much of your laser gun do you have left?”
“There are about ten or so high-attack flame guns and freezing guns.”
“That’s enough. Lu Min Feng, Mu Xue, and Grandmother, each of you prepare two guns. The three of you go into the deep mountains, particleize the hovercar, and after choosing a location, try to clear out the nearby zombies. Sang Sang and I will return as soon as possible to rendezvous with you.”
Lu Min Feng said, “Okay, A Chu, Brother Wen, you two be careful.”
After Mu Xue and the other two left in the hovercar, Sang Chu looked at Sang Jing Wen, “Brother, you don’t trust Lu Min Feng?”
“Sang Sang, do you know about any recent rumors?”
Sang Chu shook her head.
Sang Jing Wen said, “Many people in the base are spreading rumors that if you eat a supernatural ability user, you can awaken supernatural abilities. The more powerful the ability user, the more valuable they are.”
“What!” Sang Chu was greatly shocked, “Brother, are you worried that Lu Min Feng will harm Brother Yi?”
“Sang Sang, he is your friend, and by rights I shouldn’t doubt him. But in the apocalypse, I’ve seen too many hypocrites. We don’t know A Yi’s current condition. If he gets injured or has any problems, and Lu Min Feng attacks from behind, we won’t be able to defend against it. Little Sister, I can’t gamble.”
Sang Chu looked at Sang Jing Wen and said, “Mm, I understand, Brother. Here, take this thing.”
A blue sphere, about the size of a palm, was handed to Sang Jing Wen. He looked at the blue sphere and was stunned, “What is this?”
“This is a hovercar. As long as you activate it on the optical computer, you can use it anytime.”
Hearing this, Sang Jing Wen asked in surprise, “Didn’t you say there were only three cars?”
“Brother, do you think I wouldn’t reserve things for you? Even though I’m not sure if you could survive the apocalypse, what if?”
Sang Chu looked at him and continued, “Brother, we relied on each other. Although we got into different universities and lived in different places, I don’t think distance would weaken our feelings. I’ve always firmly believed that you were still alive. It’s just too difficult to find someone in the apocalypse, which is why I made Hai Shi my first stop. I thought you would definitely return to this place too.”
“Is this the tacit understanding between siblings?”
Sang Jing Wen looked at Sang Chu with a smile in his eyes. Seeing her nod firmly, he said, “Brother, quickly draw out the off-road vehicle.”
“Alright, wait a moment.”
Sang Chu stood to the side holding an apple, eating it while watching Sang Jing Wen meticulously sketch the internal and external structure of the off-road vehicle.
The more she looked, the more she felt she needed to learn to draw in the future.
【Ding——】
【Modification diagram detected. Do you wish to change the hovercar’s form according to the diagram?】
Sang Jing Wen looked at Sang Chu. Seeing her nod, Sang Jing Wen clicked confirm.
A black off-road vehicle instantly appeared.
Sang Chu was the first to rush into the driver’s seat. Tu You, perched on her shoulder, stared at the greatly transformed hovercar in amazement, “A Chu, your brother is so amazing!”
Sang Jing Wen suddenly heard a boy’s voice. He opened the car door and saw,
a little white rabbit with large, flapping ears flying around inside the car.
“Li-Little Sister? This, this is?”
Tu You flew in front of Sang Jing Wen and generously introduced himself, “My name is Tu You, A Chu’s little elf. Hello, A Chu’s Big Brother!”
“He-Hello!”
“Brother, come up, let’s go find Brother Yi.”
Sang Jing Wen hadn’t fully recovered, but his body had already gotten into the car.
He kept staring at Tu You, who was flying in front of him.
Seeing that his eyes were almost popping out, Tu You simply sat on his lap, “Big Brother, does this feel a bit more real?”
“Ah? Mm! This seems a bit better.”
He hugged Tu You with both hands and curiously flipped his ears, “Are these ears wings?”
“Yes.”
Seeing them chatting enthusiastically, Sang Chu withdrew her gaze, operated the optical computer for a while, and a transparent screen instantly appeared.
The screen was analyzing the ground traces.
After a while, a female voice came through, “One day ago, a group of ten people headed west, on foot. Do you wish to follow this trail?”
Sang Chu looked at Sang Jing Wen, “Brother, does this time match?”
If not, they would have to initiate a deep scan, which might take longer, as footprints are difficult to trace after a long time.
“It’s around that time. Let’s chase them first. If it’s not them, we’ll come back.”
If it was only a day ago, they could catch up quickly using the hovercar.
“Little A, activate full coverage mode and drive forward at full speed.”
Little A: “Yes, Master. Please fasten your seatbelt.”
Sang Chu subconsciously glanced at Sang Jing Wen, “This, this car pays a lot of attention to safety.”
Sang Jing Wen nodded, took out a seatbelt from the side, and fastened it.
Little A activated the autopilot mode. Sang Chu glanced at the off-road vehicle on the optical computer.
She discovered that all spaces not belonging to the off-road vehicle had been folded away. Following the instructions, she opened a panel,
took out an apple from inside, and handed it to Sang Jing Wen, “Brother.”
“I don’t know if your Brother Yi is on this road.”
After taking the apple, Sang Jing Wen said with a worried expression. He looked out the window while eating the apple.
“Brother, don’t worry. Little A is moving at full speed, we’ll catch up soon. If not, we can immediately turn back and search elsewhere.”
“I hope it’s on this road.”
Little A: “Master, detected people ahead. Slowing down. Proceeding towards the crowd.”
“Activate manual mode and defense mode.”
“Yes.”
Sang Chu glanced at Sang Jing Wen, who immediately took out a flame gun.
He unbuckled his seatbelt, opened the window, and aimed the gun barrel outwards.
Sang Chu drove the car towards the location marked by Little A.
Xiao Yi Fei was currently panting, covered in blood, and squatting beside a corpse.
Looking at the zombies constantly closing in, a desolate smile appeared on his lips, “I never thought that I, Xiao Yi Fei, wouldn’t die by the hands of my own people, but would be surrounded by zombies after killing everyone!”
“A Yi!”
Seeing Xiao Yi Fei surrounded by zombies, Sang Jing Wen quickly shot at the zombies and opened the rear car door, “A Yi, get in!”
Xiao Yi Fei thought he was hallucinating due to his severe injuries, but when he looked towards the source of the sound, he truly saw Sang Jing Wen.
There was also a woman in the driver’s seat!
His previously excited expression instantly turned grim.
