Chapter 106 The Dead City
Chapter 106 The Dead City
When the two came out of the tent, Chi Heng and the others were preparing breakfast.
Not far away, Cen Yuemian and Chu Chenzhou were having a very pleasant conversation, while Ye Qiao and Gu Chunxiao were also getting to know Qin Zhao and the others.
Cen Yuemian is charming without being seductive, and beautiful without being vulgar.
Even the well-traveled Chu Chenzhou was easily lured into becoming a cuckold.
My smile never faded while I was chatting with her.
When Lin Fengmu saw Yu Yao come out, he smiled and greeted her.
Seeing this, Cen Yuemian also said to Yu Yao, "Good morning, little beauty~"
Good morning, beautiful lady.
"Haha~ So cute~ Did you sleep well?"
"fine and you?"
"Oh no, that's why I've come to seek refuge with a soldier!"
She was quite frank.
Anyone with eyes can see that Chengxi covets her, as well as Ye Qiao and Gu Chunxiao.
If Cen Yuemian weren't a powerful fire-type ability user, and also a daughter of a prominent family who had received extensive training since childhood...
It seems unlikely that he can protect himself.
So the three of them have been carefully sticking together for warmth, never daring to relax.
The arrival of Chi Heng and Lin Fengmu's group finally gave Cen Yuemian a glimmer of hope.
With them around, they should be able to return safely to the Kyoto base.
Once he returns to Kyoto, Chengxi will find it difficult to achieve anything significant again!
Upon hearing this, Luo Mei, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but give her a thumbs up.
"Clever!"
"Thank you for the compliment~" Cen Yuemian's eyes crinkled, bright and beautiful.
......
Cen Yuemian's frankness did not offend Chu Chenzhou and the others.
Instead, driven by their sense of justice and responsibility as soldiers, they naturally included Cen Yuemian and the other two in their protection.
I dined with them.
They also lent them a tent to rest in, right next to Chen Wanjun's tent.
Seeing this, Cheng Xi secretly cast unfriendly and resentful glances at Chu Chenzhou and the others several times.
And each time she was almost caught, she would switch to a fawning smile.
......
The storm lasted for two whole days.
After the rain stopped and the sky cleared, the people who had been forced to stay in the air-raid shelter for two days finally removed the metal wall formed by their metal-based superpowers.
We passed through the hole where the iron gate had long since vanished.
I saw the city outside, now reduced to ruins.
A...so quiet you could barely hear a sound.
Dead city.
Let alone living people, living things.
Even zombies, mutated animals, and plants cannot escape the terrible natural disasters.
This is true devastation; looking at it for too long will inexplicably evoke a sense of despair.
"This...this..." Chen Wanjun gasped as she looked at the scene before her.
Ye Qiao also subconsciously swallowed.
"That was terrifying. Luckily, we hid beforehand."
Only Bo An, looking ahead where the road was nowhere to be seen, frowned and said, "We can't drive anymore, can we? Are we going to walk out?"
Chen Sanxu shrugged.
"Or do you have another way?"
After he finished speaking, he subconsciously glanced at Qi Xian.
"Unless you also have someone else..."
He didn't blurt out the name "Vermilion Bird" out of consideration for Cheng Xi, Cen Yuemian, and the others.
But everyone knew the truth but kept it to themselves.
Du Yuan couldn't help but let out a soft scoff, though it was unclear what his motivation was.
......
Qi Xian certainly wouldn't make a fool of himself by summoning the Vermilion Bird; besides, given his stamina and patience...
It's only a matter of time before we expand outwards.
He wasn't sure if he was just putting up with the hardship, but he simply didn't want to be too flashy for the time being, as that would only attract too much envy and cause a lot of trouble.
In addition, Yu Yao secretly used the Wind Chaser skill on her teammates.
Everyone's movement speed has increased, and their bodies feel much lighter, making it truly effortless.
......
The group then began their arduous hike toward Kyoto.
Everywhere there were broken bricks, tiles, steel bars, and all sorts of trash and parts.
Walking on it is comparable to off-roading.
Only Chi Heng and a few others, along with Yu Yao and Luo Mei, adapted very well and remained at the forefront.
Lin Fengmu's team included Chen Wanjun, who had extremely poor physical strength, and Ye Qiao and Gu Chunxiao, who were also ordinary people.
Therefore, it is relatively slow and has always been in the middle position.
This was all after Chu Chenzhou and the others each carried one girl, relieving some of the pressure on the girls.
As for Chengxi and his group...
There are people with superpowers and ordinary people, and their physical strength varies. In addition, they were all ordinary people before the apocalypse.
Even if they awaken their special abilities, their potential is not high, so they naturally fall to the bottom.
Zhao Hongyi watched the backs of Yu Yao and Luo Mei, who were far ahead of them.
He exclaimed, "I thought those two beauties were just decorative figures kept in the team. I didn't expect them to be so physically fit! You can't judge a book by its cover!"
Xiao Shuyan said, "They dare to keep cats so openly. How could they be mere ornaments dependent on men? Didn't you see the knives hanging at the waists of those two girls? They're notoriously powerful swords and scimitars, and ordinary people can't use them."
Zhao Hongyi clicked his tongue and sighed, "Ah, what a pity..."
Xiao Shuyan frowned.
"What's the pity? They're just two pretty vases, not something you can covet. Don't get any bad ideas."
"What bad ideas could I possibly have? It's just that the thought of two such beautiful girls brutally killing zombies gives me the creeps, just like Cen Yuemian! They don't act like women at all!"
Zhao Hong curled his lip, his face full of disdain.
Xiao Shuyan's expression darkened slightly, and his tone became displeased.
"What should a woman be like? Hiding behind a man, crying and showing weakness?"
"Otherwise what? Isn't a woman's role to serve men well and continue the family line? If all women were as strong as them, humanity would have gone extinct long ago!"
Zhao Hongyi's boastful words made Xiao Shuyan extremely uncomfortable.
He stared in shock at Zhao Hongyi, whose gaze was still lingering on the backs of Yu Yao and Luo Mei.
I felt nauseous for no reason.
Zhao Hong didn't hear a response from him for half a day.
Seeing his shocked and incredulous expression when she turned around, she couldn't help but chuckle.
"Hey bro, what's with that look? Am I wrong?"
"I don't think this is right!"
"Tch, you don't know anything!"
"..."
