Chapter 83: The Runaway Troop

Sitting beside that man was a middle-aged woman whose entire body was giving out a sad vibe. The clothes she was wearing seemed to be cheap, but were very clean and neat. Her long hair was combed into a loose ponytail. The tips of the middle-aged woman’s brows were turning down, reflecting her sadness.
Two women were sitting on an old couch, both looking about thirty years old; outstandingly pretty, their eyes showed an aggressive look.
Women were rare in the post-apocalyptic world, but there were four of them in this room.
Two men were standing by each side of the door of this room; both were young, about twenty years old.
“Killing Qiao wasn’t enough for that animal named Yang Jianhua! Now, he wants to destroy all of us! So sick! I didn’t think that a man could be so ungrateful! We shouldn’t have let Qiao keep him back then!” The middle-aged woman said through clenched teeth. The anger and hatred in her eyes soon covered her sadness.
“Hm! He has also cast his eyes on my sister-in-law and me. That lascivious man had coveted our eldest sister for long, and never tried to hide his desire in front of my sister-in-law and me. If our eldest sister hadn’t been restraining him, he might have done something long ago. But, Sister Lin only believed him, and never believed me!” said one of the two younger women who had long straight hair and a delicate face. Her words were full of hatred and aversion toward Yang Jianhua.
The woman beside her had a pretty, baby face. She now had the same angry look as the other young woman did, but she was much more hot-tempered than her.
Picturing that man sneakily gazing at her with a sick, disgusting look from the darkness, she turned around and kicked away the little chair next to her.
She snorted, not wanting to say anything.
“His main purpose now is to kill us. He’s worrying that if he lets us live, we might find a chance to take revenge against him one day. That’s why he has been chasing after us all this time. I’m afraid he’ll never be able to fall asleep before he has killed us with his own hands,” said the man holding the little girl calmly.
“Aunty… Aunty is so strong! She won’t die!” The little girl sitting on the man’s laps pouted and said.
The man turned to look at her. His sharp gaze softened slightly as he rubbed her head, then sighed and said, “Maybe… We can only wait for A to bring a reliable message back to us.”
“Feng, this place isn’t safe. We should leave as soon as possible. We must meet Li Zheng and his people before we plan our next step.” The middle-aged woman forced herself to calm down, then said to her son.
Lin Feng looked at his mother, then nodded and responded, “This place isn’t safe indeed. Now that we’ve had some rest and regained some energy, let’s go.”
While speaking, he lifted his daughter and stood up to walk out. The others all followed him closely out of the room.
Among the three waiting in the lobby, the young man who had been patiently sharpening the wooden stick leaped off the billiards table once he saw them coming out.
“Finally leaving?” He asked.
Lin Feng looked at him and asked, “How’s the situation outside? Did you feel anything?”
The young man named Lin Hao shook his head and said, “There’re too few plants in this city, so the range of my sensation isn’t large. But, I haven’t sensed any danger from around this building.”
Lin Feng nodded and said, “Then, let’s go.”
Hearing him, the others stepped slightly backward while the two soldiers guarding by the door opened it.
Once the door was opened, the zombies which were crowding before the door and trying to get in immediately fell to the ground.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
After a series of gunshots, the zombies which just got in were finished off by the soldiers in the club. Every bullet they shot out killed a zombie.
One of those zombies had a wooden stick stuck in its head. That was exactly the stick sharpened by Lin Hao just now.
The others barely made a move. Soon, a group of people exited the club.
A few miles away, a troop was resting in a two-story building. At that moment, they were all turning to where the shopping mall was located, as if they had sensed something.
“Did you hear a gunshot just now?” A man stood up, looking around with confusion.
“No! Did you mishear?” Someone responded.
“I can’t hear anything now… I might have misheard…” he said.
“Which direction? Let’s go take a look. We’ll then find out if you misheard or not! That might be them. Don’t miss any chance.”
“You’re right! It seemed to come from… that direction,” said the man.
“Line up! Let’s go over there!”
“Yes, Sir! Ready to go!”
However, when they found the shopping mall, they saw nothing but dead zombies and some traces left on the ground by vehicles.
Lin Feng and his people only shot the zombies on the top floor dead, but tried their best to avoid starting any fight after coming down. They got into their cars as quickly as they could and then drove away.
“They drove that way. Keep chasing!”
On the other side, Lin Qiao was going through Ning De City.
She was still driving, and Junjun was sitting in the front seat. After leaving Sea City, they had driven across Zhe Province and entered Min Province. They hadn’t seen any human beings these few days, but had encountered a few high-level zombies. Those were merely level three or four zombies, and Lin Qiao took care of them quite easily.
Level-three zombies were very easy to deal with for her, while level-four zombies were slightly more difficult. But anyhow, all those zombies were much easier to defeat than the level-five one which she encountered before.
After finis.h.i.+ng those zombies, she absorbed their zombie nuclei for fun. That was a pleasant thing to do after all.
Lin Qiao didn’t think that she could drive through the entire Zhe Province so easily and quickly. However, she had been having a strange feeling ever since she entered Ning De City. She couldn’t tell if that was a good feeling or a bad one.
Throughout the journey, Lin Qiao discovered that the closer she got to the downtown area, the more zombies existed there. She also found out that high-level intelligent zombies were very good at hiding.
She had been avoiding downtown areas all the way, so that she wouldn’t encounter too many zombies. Many ordinary zombies liked to wander on the streets. When Lin Qiao drove near them, they would sense her vibe and move away, but they could only shamble very slowly…
Therefore, after being jammed by zombies for a few times, Lin Qiao decided to go through the spa.r.s.ely populated areas.
Since she had entered Ning De City, that weird feeling had been occurring to her more and more frequently. That feeling wasn’t strong, but she had to pay attention to it, because she needed to know what caused her to have that feeling.
She drove concentratively for a few hours and pa.s.sed through the entire Ning De City, but nothing happened in the whole while, neither had she discovered anything.
