Chapter 427: Chapter 8: Best Friends Forever (8)

The supplies they were searching for were quite abundant, with each car stocked full, and in Li Yang’s core team, someone awakened the Space Ability shortly after departure.

Although that person’s space was small, it could still store quite a lot.

Though many things were collected, no one could afford to waste them because resources would only become scarcer.

Li Yang had repeatedly emphasized this point to everyone.

If anyone dared to waste food, the consequences would be very serious.

The convoy’s condition was excellent, and everyone felt that as long as they reached the destination, everything would get better and better.

The journey was long, and the road was far from peaceful; everyone saw too much darkness, indifference, and cruelty, which gave them a sense of belonging to their convoy.

In the apocalypse, where the Superpower User reigns supreme, those with good character and responsibility are fine, but those inherently evil gained powerful abilities—do you still expect them to save the world?

Of course, there are exceptions where people gain power, see zombies, and change their minds, but those are definitely few. Some become even more unrestrained, thinking this world suits them better, doing things without any scruples.

After all, at this time, there is no law to speak of.

The convoy encountered many other groups on the road and saw many tragic situations.

Unable to bear it, they rescued some people.

Those ordinary people were immensely grateful to be following Admiral Li; otherwise, without superpowers, their fate would probably be very tragic.

As a result, everyone increasingly supported Li Yang.

The skinny man who previously questioned Zhao Qimeng was automatically ostracized by everyone now.

After all, they’ve worked hard to get water for everyone, yet you question them—how inhumane.

The skinny man dared not say much and shrank aside every day.

He too felt resentful; he spoke like that for Zhang Yuanyuan, yet afterward, Zhang Yuanyuan ignored him.

Now in the convoy, he was isolated, while Zhang Yuanyuan seemed fine, even pretending not to be associated with him—such a feeling was unpleasant.

A few more days passed, and just like in the plot, they encountered that team.

That day, as everyone passed a larger city, they didn’t intend to enter; the denser the population, the fear that zombies would be more numerous, so Li Yang decided to bypass and go through the nearby small town.

Unexpectedly, the town was incredibly overrun with zombies, and those zombies were not ordinary—for instance, some were incredibly strong, some could even spit fire.

In an instant, the convoy was in jeopardy.

It was at this time that another squad appeared, their arrival resolving the crisis.

Of course, if this squad hadn’t come, Li Shuning, unleashing spiritual power, could also solve it.

But Li Shuning had long detected their arrival, and naturally, she wouldn’t use spiritual power—it’s her secret weapon after all.

The two teams united, with many Superpower Users, making it easier to deal with the zombies.

After all the zombies in the town were dealt with, everyone was exhausted.

After a brief rest, they quickly left the place—this town was strange, some zombies previously escaped, and who knew if they’d attract more zombies, so it was better to leave first and find a safe place to rest.

Having left the town, after more than two hours, Li Yang found a village; it was relatively remote, with few households, and surrounded by wilderness. Once the zombies were dealt with, there was no threat.

Everyone settled down in the village, resting in place.

While resting, the leader of the other squad, the one in the plot who could devour others’ superpowers, came looking for Li Yang.

“Hello, I’m Zhu Ke, the captain of our squad, we escaped from Jinhua City, where are you headed?”

Li Yang scrutinized Zhu Ke, feeling this person was somewhat peculiar but couldn’t quite say where.

“Hello, I’m Li Yang, we set out from the Alliance Capital, your squad isn’t weak, why no ordinary people?”

Zhu Ke glanced at the people around Li Yang; those men in camo looked well-trained, definitely not ordinary.

Alliance Capital, the most important city of the Alliance—this person must not be simple.

“In Jinhua City, zombies were rampant; we are lucky to have escaped at all. We did rescue ordinary people along the way and accepted some Superpower Users, but an incident nearly wiped us out—we dared not accept anyone after that.”

Li Yang raised an eyebrow: “Oh, could you tell me what happened, as our convoy has many ordinary people—I need to be responsible for them.”

“Moreover, you said you don’t dare accept others, yet you team up with us, aren’t you afraid we might do something to you?”

Zhu Ke smiled: “Indeed, initially we were worried seeing your situation from behind; it seemed you were at a disadvantage, and those zombies looked tough. But retreating would mean either through the big city or backtracking, neither choice was good. With you ahead, why not take a chance—if you had sinister intentions, we are also Superpower Users and could leave immediately; you have many ordinary people.”

“Moreover, I observed your convoy—strategic and orderly, certainly not ordinary. Judging by your attire, you’re likely from the Alliance military, trustworthy, which is why I approached. We all want to survive.”

“The road ahead is long; only strong teams can survive, wouldn’t you agree?”

Li Yang nodded, true, Zhu Ke’s words were convincing indeed.

“Then can you tell me what happened to you before?”

Zhu Ke’s face showed a trace of sorrow: “We fled from Jinhua City; my best friend was an Ice Ability User, the strongest among us. Back then, we encountered a team fighting zombies, struggling—they had ordinary people and Superpower Users. We thought strength in numbers and saved them; those ordinary folks looked pitiable, having gone long without food or water.”

“We shared some resources and water, planning to search for more together. But to our surprise, the ordinary people were merely moving food controlled by Superpower Users—we even became food in their eyes.”

Turning away while speaking, Zhu Ke’s eyes were red upon turning back.

Watching from a room, Li Shuning’s eyes held a hint of mockery; quite the actor indeed.
