Mega Release: Ch 1/3 (I’m doing the release as promised and it helps with the cliffs at the end of the chapters too)

“We are going to G city to carry out urgent tasks. It’s inconvenient to take you with us. A survivors' base has been established in each military area. Your relatives may have followed the search and rescue team to the base. If you go directly to the south base now, it will take you only one or two days to reach there. On arriving at the base, you can slowly search for your relatives.” Li Ming’s words were appropriate. Although it would be dangerous to let these survivors go on their own, G City had an evolutionary zombie, which was comparatively more dangerous.

“My parents live in the suburbs of G city. They are old, weak and timid. If I don’t pick them up, they won’t leave.” The fat man refused to listen, “Sir, it’s not easy for my parents to raise me as an adult. I can’t leave them! You see, if you don’t like us following you, we’ll go ahead. In any case, the road is facing the sky. Let’s go one way or the other. Do you think this will work?”

“It’s dangerous ahead. Let us make a way. You can follow us from a distance.” Since the fat man had said all of this, Li Ming was forced to accept his proposal. After all, wherever people wished to go was their own freedom, they had no right to stop them.

“Well, thank you, sir. Thank you, sir!” The fat man was so happy that he thanked him profusely.

“Ah, this fat man is very filial.” Zheng Jiahe sitting in the car who had also heard their dialogue, exclaimed. His parents were far away from home. If they were at home, he would also want to find them.

Sitting in the back seat, Su Ruizhe inadvertently took a glance at the fat man. The fat man was just about getting ready to get in. Under the bright high beam light of the SUV, he clearly saw the side of the fat man’s face.

Su Ruizhe sat up straight and his eyes went a little cold.

“What’s the matter?” Zhan Yun noticed that something was wrong with Su Ruizhe's expression and asked in a low voice, “Do you know him?”

How could we not know each other? In the past life, this fat man was the number one famous person in Lincheng base! His name was Lu Yang, and his nickname was Lu Zhishen. Although his chubby face was ever smiling, and he looked very kind; in fact, he had a poisonous mind and was good at tricking people. Every time he went out of the city, he would return with a full load. If anyone in the base wanted to get anything, as long as he could afford it, Lu Yang could get it.

Although Lu Yang appeared to be just a physical type ability user, he not only had a whole ability user team in his hand, but also a large number of weapons and ammunition. He had also heard that he got it by robbing the army.

Thinking till here, Su Ruizhe slightly narrowed his eyes, looking at the front of the car’s line of sight more coldly. Lu Yang had a very high position in Lincheng base. Even the chief of the base talked to him kindly. He had heard that Lu Zhishen once made great contributions to the base. If he remembered correctly, when he went to Lincheng base in the past, the power supply of the whole base was very good. There were solar power generation devices everywhere, otherwise, there would be no way to support the operation of such a large research institute. Su Ruizhe had an impression of Lu Yang because he had seen some of the research equipment sent by Lu Yang when he was in the Research Institute. He had once boasted that no matter what kind of precision instrument it was, he could get it.

Now, in connection with their mission, Su Ruizhe began to wonder whether Lu Yang’s great contribution to Lincheng base was solar power generation equipment?

Although G city was not the only one with a new energy plant, Lincheng base was located in south China, not far from G city. Although it was only a guess, it involved Lu Yang now. Su Ruizhe couldn't help but hypothesize in that direction. Maybe, once Li Ming’s team performed the same task, they then met Lu Yang. Not only was the whole team taken over by Lu Yang, but even the solar power equipment of G City…

I’m really afraid!

Su Ruizhe immediately leaned to reach Zhan Yun’s ear and told him everything he remembered in a low voice.

Zhan Yun’s face suddenly sank. He had no doubt towards Su Ruizhe. He had thought that the fat man was very suspicious right from the beginning! Now listening to Su Ruizhe’s previous life’s information about the fat man, he suspected that the fat man must have been following them for this purpose.

No matter whether the fat man was going to rob arms or hit them for solar energy equipment in G City, he was definitely not going to pick up his parents, as he had explained!

Zhan Yun picked up the walkie talkie and talked to Li Ming. He didn’t say anything else. He only said that he had some doubts regarding the fat man's identity. For the sake of safety, they should let the fat man drive ahead and his car would follow him to prevent the fat man from moving secretly.

In fact, Li Ming also thought that the fat man who had appeared suddenly was a little too suspicious, but there was no way to refuse his follow-up. In the absence of evidence, he could only be treated as an ordinary survivor. He accepted Zhan Yun’s suggestions and adjusted the position of the car, and the fat man had no opinions.

When the car started to drive again, Li Ming’s car was still in the front, and Zhanyun’s car was in the back, sandwiching Lu Yang’s car in the middle.

All the way, Lu Yang was calm, there was no small action, until dawn, when they found a small service area to stop. This service area may have been cleaned up by the search and rescue team when they went to G City, so there were only a few zombies left. After a simple cleaning, they were ready to rest here in the daytime.

At this time, the fat man and his so-called 'family' got off the car. They had a lot of food and water in their hands. The fat man and his 'wife' walked towards Li Ming with a smile on their faces. “Sir, it’s been a hard journey. You can see that we have nothing else. This is the only thing in the car. If you like it, please accept it…”

Li Ming refused for a long time. At last, they accepted the things under the insistence of the fat man.

Zhan Yun and his team occupied a corner of the room. Wu Jing and Zhang Shuoliang were laying blankets on the floor. Su Ruizhe and Zhan Yun leaned against the wall and watched the fat man perform well.

Now, the fat man’s two flowery ‘daughters’ came over gracefully. The two girls were young, the older one looked about twenty, the younger one was only seventeen or eighteen. In terms of looks, these two girls were certainly not as beautiful as Wu Jing and Cheng Jiao. At most, they seemed pure and lovely. But they were better than simply young, they were young and delicate. In the present time of apocalypse, it was rare to see such a pure and energetic girl.

The older girl had her eyes fixed on Zhan Yun’s body and could not move her gaze away. She went straight to Zhan Yun, wanting to talk to Zhan Yun shyly.

However, Zhan Yun didn’t even spare her a single look. He continued to chat with Su Ruizhe, which made her very angry.

The younger girl was interested in Cheng Qi. She called him brother twice sweetly and began to chat happily.

The older girl ran to a wall with Zhan Yun, bit her teeth, and found Song Chengshu. Song Chengshu, obviously, also gave her the cold shoulder, which hit her soft spot. Seeing the girl’s grievance, as if she was about to cry, finally, Zheng Jiahe soft heartedly talked to her.

Looking at the group happily chatting, a few youngsters over couldn't sit still. They went to talk to Wu Jing and Cheng Jiao. But neither of the girls paid attention to them. They touch their noses in embarrassment and left.

Later, the two girls went to the black business car and brought over bread and water for them. They looked concernedly at Cheng Qi and Zheng Jiahe. As they left, they kept calling them as their tall and short brothers. They really wanted to be more intimate with their group.

Who knew that the fat man's family was into the flesh business…

“Hey, eldest brother, those two girls are nice. The drinks they gave help to gain energy quickly. I haven’t had such drinks for a long time now!” Zheng Jiahe who received these things came to show off his treasures happily.

“Haha.” Cheng Qi laughed at him and came over with a smile, snatching the bottle which Zheng Jiahe was about to open, “I also received it.”

“Hey! Why do you want to rob me when you have one too! “

Cheng Qi turned sideways, with his back towards the door, blocking those people’s eyes, at the same time, turning the bottle in his hand, pulled down the wrapping paper and illuminated the side position with a flashlight. He lowered his voice and said, “Look carefully.”

Zheng Jiahe’s eyes were okay. After Cheng Qi reminded him, he soon found a tiny pinhole on the bottle. It was obvious that something was added in the drink.

“Is this…?”

“Haha, you will get nothing from anyone for free except from thieves and traitors. These kinds of small tricks have long been out of date.” Cheng Qi, who didn't seem to be sharp, was actually the most vigilant. Otherwise, Zhan Yun wouldn't have become good friends with him. It was only a meeting by chance and they had already given them food and drinks. The present was not like before the apocalypse. Food and water were the most precious resources for all. This group sent such things out without any hesitation. The fat man would not just stand by and watch this. If they were as kind and generous as they showed, they would never have lived till this day.

If you changed them with a man having different views, he might have been deceived by the little girl's sweet words. But Cheng Qi was not. He deliberately, casually talked with her around her and revealed some unimportant information. After he received the drink from her, he gave an extra look and checked the bottle. As expected, he found it had been messed with.

“Qi, do you know what is the fat man's name ?” Zhan Yun asked lightly.

“It seems to be Lu. I just asked the little girl’s name.”

“Go and confirm.” Zhan Yun raised his chin in the direction of the little girl just now.

Cheng Qi didn’t ask any more questions. He placed his hands in his pockets, and casually went over. He teased the little girl for a while before coming back.

“It’s Lu Yang.”

It was him!

The author has something to say:

I’m going to continue to post. Wait a moment. There’s another chapter around 12 o’clock ~ ~ ~ although the second one is more likely to be shorter. Don’t abandon this QAQ~~~

[The Little Theater On The Street]

Su Xiaozhe: What to do? Zhan Xiaoyun is still not awake.

Zheng Jiahe: Will the boss change into a super Saiyan or something, so that he can take back the leading role. But he may also become a zombie. Can I beat him up?!

Zhan Xiaoyun suddenly opens his eyes: Su Xiaozhe! I just had a strange dream. I dreamed that you were captured by a giant, and threatened me to give him the halo of the protagonist on the top of his head. However, his head is too big, and the halo can’t shine on his whole person. Then the giant is angry. He waves a fist with green light. At the critical moment, Xiaozhe’s thigh suddenly gives out a dazzling golden light. The green fist versus the golden thigh. The world changes color in a flash, Mountains fall and the earth splits… Then the giant became a dog.

Su Xiaozhe: I can’t understand what you are talking about.

Zheng Jiahe: Sorry big boss! I’m wrong, big boss!

(it seems that I have drunk too much…)

She added a novel recommendation after this but I'm not going to use what's left of my energy on that XD
