Chapter 169: End of the World - Zombie Era (8)

In the third month of the apocalypse, on the road that had become desolate in just three months, an obviously modified car drove by. When passing by a few zombies, an arrow would be shot out of the car to send them to the west.

In the car, Gu Chengbei immediately went up and skillfully flattered them, clapping: "Yueyue is awesome!!"

Cheng Yue put away the bow, looked out the window with dark eyes, and said in a cold and deliberately low voice: "There are fewer and fewer zombies, and the road has been cleared."

"Yes."

Gu Chengbei also noticed this. He immediately turned around and took out his precious computer. After a while of typing, he looked at the icons on it, and his eyes showed some relief.

"It seems that we are about to reach this flame base."

When Ji Jiaqi was about to leave the building, she discovered her space ability, so she put everything in it, including the radio.

During this period, the radio has been here in Guchengbei, listening to the movement inside one after another. The sound of the Flame Base was revealed from the radio, indicating that they are a large base with powerful superpowers and many residences. There are usually soldiers guarding and welcoming the arrival of survivors.

In the end times, the scene depicted by the Flame Base is still very attractive. If others hear it, they will definitely run here to seek shelter, but they are not so anxious.

Anyway, Ji Jiaqi has space to store things and water superpowers to provide water at any time. Later, they found an RV without an owner on the road and renovated it. Now the place is spacious and can be divided into compartments. There is no problem with eating and drinking. There is Guchengbei's automatic alarm when resting. If there is danger, Ji Jiaqi's swordsmanship, Chengyue's archery and the robots made by Guchengbei can kill directly. It can be said that it is very safe.

When finding the Flame Base, Guchengbei is more reluctant to enter the base, but Ji Jiaqi doesn't care. Whether in the base or outside, she can take care of herself and the people around her.

Cheng Yue agreed to go to the Flame Base. She knew why Gu Chengbei was reluctant to join the base. There were rumors in the previous life that the reason why Gu Chengbei was so powerful but still stayed at home and did research every day was because he was stabbed by his relatives before the end of the world. Although he was safe and sound later, he also developed a personality that was unwilling to step into society.

He had no problem getting along with one or two people, but he would be nervous when there were too many people.

Cheng Yue's personality was formed after the end of the world. She didn't have any opinion on Gu Chengbei's problem. Anyway, she had seen many people with problems in her previous life.

As long as Gu Chengbei didn't hurt his sister and Hengheng, he could do whatever he wanted.

When the Flame Base was about to arrive, Ji Jiaqi started to take things from the space. After discussing, they decided to hide. They had seen people with special abilities along the way, but most of them were water, fire, thunder, lightning, and earth. They had never encountered Gu Chengbei's ability to command robots and Ji Jiaqi's space ability.

After all, they didn't know the situation of the Flame Base. After discussing, the three of them began to put some daily necessities in various corners of the car to create an illusion that they didn't have spatial abilities.

Cheng Yue was young, and the two adults didn't let her move things, so she stood aside holding the cat Heng Heng. Seeing Ji Jiaqi took two bags of rice to put there, Cheng Yue's eyes flashed and said, "Sister, just put one bag."

Ji Jiaqi didn't think much about it, and followed her wishes and put the bag of rice back into the space.

After making sure everything was done, the vehicle finally slowed down at the entrance of the Flame Base.

As the broadcast said, there were soldiers standing at the entrance. When they saw a car coming, a team of people immediately stepped forward, and the leader said:

"Give me the sign."

Gu Chengbei was nervous when he saw so many people, and shrank back stiffly. Cheng Yue was a child before she died in her previous life, and no one asked her to stand out in such an occasion, so the last one to come out was Ji Jiaqi.

She smiled a little first: "Brothers, what brand is it? We are just passing by and want to come here to replenish some supplies."

Ji Jiaqi is good-looking. There are not many people like her who are fair-skinned, tender, rosy-faced and cheerful after the end of the world. The man in the lead also relaxed a lot when he saw this smile, "Aren't you from our base? Then go to the table in front and go through the formalities."

"Our base stipulates that outsiders who want to enter the base must hand in half of the supplies, such as water, food, and oil. Weapons are not required, but if they like clothes, as long as they are not worn, they can take them."

This last sentence is to remind Ji Jiaqi that if there is any clothes he likes, it is best to wear them. Ji Jiaqi is not a fool. He immediately smiled gratefully and agreed repeatedly, and took out a pack of cigarettes from his bag and handed it over.

"Thank you, brothers. We found this cigarette in a supermarket. None of us smoke, so please take it."

The man's eyes lit up when he saw the cigarette, and he took it happily without refusing. He also reminded: "Be quick when you give things later. There are people sitting over there with special abilities. If you don't give them quickly, they won't do anything to you in person, but when you enter the base, you will be cheated by them."

"Oh, thank you, brother. We will go there first."

When Ji Jiaqi got on the bus, Cheng Yue, who had been leaning against the window and staring at her all the time, waiting to kill her with her supernatural power as soon as there was danger, finally relaxed and sat down while stroking the cat gently.

Gu Chengbei came up and flattered her: "Sister Ji, I really admire you. You are good at killing zombies and even socializing with people."

Ji Jiaqi smiled shyly: "I was forced by life. When I first entered society, I suffered a lot because I didn't know how to deal with people actively. Later, I got better."

In fact, strictly speaking, she learned to greet people with a smile when she was in school. At that time, she and Ji Hang worked part-time together. They were young and had no education, so they could only work part-time on Saturdays and Sundays, and they could only choose to hand out flyers on the road.

Ji Hang was aloof and felt that this was embarrassing. Once a passerby said something annoying when he was handing out flyers, he quarreled with the person and then resigned.

At that time, the living expenses of the two were not enough. Ji Jiaqi had no choice but to work harder to keep the job. Later, she learned to turn a blind eye to the cold faces of passers-by and tried to smile at everyone, letting them take their flyers.

Thinking of the past, Ji Jiaqi sighed a little. In fact, it was a good thing for her to grow up early. At that time, their mutual friends had said that Ji Hang would suffer some hardships after entering the society. It was a pity that the end of the world came before that time.

After filling out the form, they let those people move half of their things without any resistance, and the group received their respective identity cards and entered the city.

After entering, they found that it was quite prosperous inside, with clothes and weapons sold.

Looking around, the most popular thing was weapons, and the least popular thing was jewelry, gold and jade. This was normal. Now everyone lives on the edge of a knife, who has the mood to buy things for dressing up.

They rented a room first, put away the supplies, parked the car in the yard, and then they were interested in going out for a walk.

Gu Chengbei, the number one flatterer who still flatters even when he finds out he has mechanical abilities, immediately suggested: "We've been busy looking for food along the way, and haven't really looked for some clothes. Why don't we go look for some clothes? I just saw that those clothes seem to have been modified, and they look very convenient for killing zombies."

Ji Jiaqi also noticed those clothes and wanted to buy a few sets. Cheng Yue was in the growth period, so he had to buy more.

So the group found a clothing store with a storefront and an ability person standing outside to deter, and it was obvious that it had a background.

They were walking around inside when a few more people came in at the gate of the base. The man was a couple walking in front. He looked good. Although he looked a little haggard, his clothes were very clean and his face was white and tender. At this moment, he said to the pretty girl standing on the side: "Those people are really looking down on us. They actually took away half of our supplies."

"There is no way. This is also the rule. Brother Hang, you were too dangerous just now. What if you quarrel with them and offend them?"

Ji Hang smiled at her gently, "It's okay, they are just a few guard dogs, not big characters. If you offend them, you offend them."

The girl blushed when he looked at her, and lowered her head shyly, "We are not familiar with this place either. It's better to find a guide to save detours."

"Okay."

Ji Hang looked at her with more affectionate eyes.

He had to be affectionate. After the apocalypse, he was trapped in the dormitory. Although no one in the dormitory saved him, he suffered a lot afterwards because he had nothing to eat or drink. Fortunately, the person she cheated with before the apocalypse had a family background and sent someone to pick her up. She insisted on coming to find Ji Hang, otherwise her life might not be saved.

Ji Hang relied on the protection of her bodyguards all the way and didn't even dare to get out of the car. Now that he has finally arrived at a safe base, he must have a good rest.

Smelling the stench coming from not washing for a long time, Ji Hang showed disgust in his eyes and asked the guide who was called over: "Is there any clothing store nearby?"

The guide looked back at the recorders standing at the gate of the base and looked over, and said respectfully: "Yes, yes."

"I'll take you there right away."

Dare to offend their boss, take them to the most expensive store right now, it would be strange if they don't get ripped off!

He had something on his mind, but he kept talking about the things in the base.

"Actually, it's rare to find people like you two who can afford clothes these days. Look, you're all dusty all the way here. People who can afford clothes, especially women, are either capable or have a background. Look at the one in front..."

He pointed at a woman who was dressed neatly and looked good, and said with a smile, "She's been kept by someone, so she can afford clothes."

Seeing Ji Hang's contempt, he lowered his eyes and sneered.

This woman was the head of a powerful team in the base, with earth-related abilities. What she couldn't stand the most was people commenting on her appearance. Anyway, he mentioned it, and if these people went to provoke her, it wouldn't be his fault.

The group quickly walked into the store, and as soon as they entered the store, Ji Hang saw a familiar figure.

Ji Jiaqi had a ruddy complexion and looked refreshed. She was holding a piece of clothing and trying it on herself. She didn't look like she had ever suffered.

He knew what kind of person Ji Jiaqi was. She was timid and incompetent. She only smiled and flattered others. Her grades were not as good as hers in school.

When she was trapped in the dormitory, he also thought about what would happen to her. It was nothing more than turning into a zombie or being trapped to death in the room. Anyway, according to her cowardly courage, she would definitely not dare to kill the zombies. It was just a pity for the food.

Unexpectedly, he met her here now.

Ji Hang's first reaction was that Ji Jiaqi was being kept, and his face immediately showed a look of disappointment.

How could she be so unloving!
