Chapter 37: The Plan
Lu Min Feng: Okay, find a place to hide. I’ll bring them to find you now.
Tu You chose a deserted place for Sang Chu. They pried open the lock, and the inside was a mess.
When Lu Min Feng brought Sang Jing Wen and the others to this place, Xiao Bao Yu could no longer hold back his tears and cried out: “Brother Jing Wen, was it my dad? Was it my dad who harmed my brother!”
Sang Jing Wen glanced at the people present and said, his voice as calm as ever: “Why do you think that?”
Xiao Bao Yu looked at his unconscious brother, whose face was devoid of color. He squatted on the ground, holding his head, and sobbed as he slowly explained: “I saw fragments of my brother’s clothes on the ground by the back door. I found that villa because of the wine from last night.”
Sang Jing Wen: “Didn’t your dad say the wine was a gift from the employer?”
“I didn’t think about it carefully last night. This morning, I found that you all hadn’t woken up. When I went to the back door, I found torn cloth by the door. Later, when I tried to open the room door, I found none of you were there, so I knew it must have been Dad who did it.”
Lu Min Feng was curious about his suspicion of his father: “But that’s your dad, why would you suspect him?”
“I didn’t want to, but yesterday he wanted me to feed zombies. Everyone in the refugee area knows what feeding zombies means. But after my brother arrived, he stopped mentioning it. Even Uncle Er and the others didn’t come to argue. This is not right, very not right. My mom and I have wanted to leave New City to find Big Brother for a long time. We’ve been hoarding supplies,
but we didn’t dare let Dad know, because he would definitely drag Uncle Er and his family along. But my mom and I didn’t want that. We just wanted to escape that family and find Big Brother. Big Brother is back, and Mom is very happy. She wanted to tell Dad about what we’ve been planning because Brother has a supernatural ability, and he’s a combat type, so our safety would be guaranteed. But I didn’t expect Dad to bring back the wine, and we all got drunk after drinking just a little.”
Lu Min Feng frowned slightly and said: “If that’s the case, then you and your mother are not safe.”
Sang Jing Wen glanced at him and said: “Bao Yu, how about this, your father probably doesn’t know you went to that building. You go back first and wait for us at home. As soon as Brother Lu is rested, we’ll come to find you and take you away together.”
“Can I really?”
Looking at his eager eyes for a definite answer, Sang Chu said: “You should go back and discuss it with your mother. Your father is like this, it’s very frightening.”
Xiao Bao Yu nodded and walked home, looking somewhat lost.
Sang Jing Wen stood by the door watching him leave and said softly: “Min Feng, are you sure you want to follow him?”
“Yes, I also need to look for my parents. You don’t need to worry about me. I’ll use invisibility when necessary. You should hide well and preferably find another place, as this place may not be safe.”
Everyone here was very suspicious and didn’t trust Xiao Bao Yu at all. It was only because he was Xiao Yi Fei’s younger brother that they gave him a chance.
Lu Min Feng followed him out, without using his invisibility ability.
Sang Jing Wen carried Xiao Yi Fei on his back and walked towards the second residence Tu You had found.
“Little Sister, what do you think about New City?”
“It’s best if we can leave without anyone noticing. We are too weak to resist head-on. If Brother A Yi’s mother and brother leave with us, I might have to stay behind to cover for you.”
Sang Jing Wen: “Are you going to take the hovercar?”
“Yes, Mu Xue, Lu Min Feng, and I found a spirit jade mine earlier. Inside, there’s a flood dragon that’s very powerful. Little Rabbit suggested I feed it and then subdue it, but it’s not guaranteed to work. So, we might have to split into two groups. You guys go back directly, and I’ll go try it out.”
Sang Jing Wen: “I understand. I’ll cover for you then. Be extremely careful.”
Sang Chu nodded. The little rabbit squatted on Sang Chu’s shoulder and sighed faintly: “There are so many powerful experts in the apocalypse. You all need to improve yourselves quickly.”
Hearing his words, Sang Jing Wen and Sang Chu fell silent.
“Brother, I have a Mental Cultivation Manual here. You can learn it even without a supernatural ability. Since we have time now, you should study it. I’ll prepare the medicine for Brother Yi to inject him.”
Currently, they didn’t know how many Mental Power users there were in New City, and at what level they could see hovercars. The situation was very unfavorable to them.
Therefore, Sang Chu didn’t dare to use the hovercar openly. Once detected by a supernatural ability user, they would be trapped like turtles in a jar.
Sang Jing Wen took the Mental Cultivation Manual, nodded, and then walked to the side.
After Sang Chu administered the healing agent to Xiao Yi Fei, he saw the optical computer prompt: 【Detected unknown substance, analyze unknown substance. 】
Sang Chu clicked yes, but the optical computer kept spinning. She then remembered that the optical computer was invented by the Monster Transformation World and didn’t understand many substances in their world.
Currently, they only knew that this substance was harmful to the human body, but the optical computer couldn’t analyze what it was specifically.
Tu You: 【Could it be that thing that seals supernatural abilities? 】
【Possibly. The Doctor can’t see you, right? 】
Tu You nodded. Mu Xue had accidentally seen him in an underground mine before, purely because the spiritual pressure in that place was too great.
This caused him to accidentally reveal himself. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, if he didn’t reveal himself automatically, no one could see him except the ticket holder.
Sang Chu: 【This is my brother’s and Lu Min Feng’s hovercar. Take it. Before you leave the city, go scout that breeding farm. It’s best if you can get the antidote. Also, get me some of the poison. 】
Tu You put the hovercar into his belly and asked with a slight tilt of his head, a half-smile on his face: 【Classmate Sang Xiao Chu, do you want the zombie crystal cores they cultivated? 】
Sang Chu lowered her head, clenched her fists tightly, and after a fierce internal struggle, let out a sigh: 【I 】
Tu You: 【Don’t rush to refuse. I know you dislike these crystal cores that they raise by feeding humans to zombies, but these are the survival conditions of the apocalypse. Every man for himself, right? If you take their crystal cores, you can catch your breath a little. What if most of them upgrade to Level Five or Level Six? 】
Sang Chu looked at him helplessly: 【I didn’t say no. I was just thinking, if I steal all their crystal cores, they’ll probably use more people to feed the zombies. So, I want to pull off a big one. 】
Tu You: 【What do you mean? 】
Sang Chu: 【First, find a way to scout how many supernatural ability users there are in this base, then get all the antidotes and such. For the poison that can make supernatural ability users lose their abilities, find a way to put it in their food or water. Then, leave a little earlier than Lu Min Feng, transform these two hovercars into off-road vehicles, and wait for them in the wilderness. Once they arrive, you can come back to find me. 】
