"Kai Xuan!" Su Ling called out, suddenly remembering Gu Kai Xuan's teleportation ability. His sudden disappearance could only be explained by that.
Xiaoyue was also frightened and anxiously shouted, "Auntie, my brother is gone!"
"Don't worry, your brother is fine," Su Ling reassured.
She closed her eyes and focused on reinforcing the vehicle, ignoring the people outside.
However, without Sheng Hongye by her side, the success rate of reinforcement plummeted. After several failures, the defense had dropped to zero.
With a loud crash, the windshield shattered.
Su Ling's heart skipped a beat. She immediately grabbed the gun and swung it at Gold Tooth. Realizing she didn't fire, he became more reckless.
He grabbed the gun barrel and grinned, "Little girl, let's see what you're capable of."
Another person climbed onto the car, reaching out to grab Su Ling.
As soon as his fingers touched her, an electric arc flashed through the air. The man instantly stiffened and collapsed to the ground.
Gold Tooth was startled, turned back in panic, but before he could see what happened, his head was twisted 180 degrees to the back.
His bloodshot eyes widened in horror, and he fell to the ground, unable to utter a single scream
Amid the crowd's shock, a tall figure approached step by step.
The man's face was cold and resolute, his eyes shining like golden snakes, sending shivers down everyone's spine.
On his back was a little boy with a watermelon-like haircut. Seeing the man kill two people, the boy wasn't scared. Instead, he said in a childish voice, "I knew it. If you touch Auntie Su Ling, my uncle will twist your necks. None of you will survive today."
Seeing this pair, Su Ling's nose suddenly felt a bit sour.
Thank goodness, everything's fine!
Sheng Hongye gently set down the child and coldly said to the others, "I said, we'll leave as soon as we find the car. Since you want to die, I'll grant your wish."
As soon as he finished speaking, his elbow smashed into the nearest person's throat. The man groaned, and his windpipe was instantly crushed. He collapsed to the ground like a noodle, and the others immediately screamed and ran into the underground passage.
Sheng Hongye followed them, and ten minutes later, the place fell into complete silence.
A sound of footsteps echoed, and Sheng Hongye calmly emerged from inside.
"How are you?" He looked at Su Ling, his expression softening.
"I'm fine," Su Ling replied with a faint smile.
Although she knew those people deserved to be killed, eliminating over a dozen of them at once still left her feeling a bit uneasy.
At this moment, despite Sheng Hongye's seemingly gentle gaze, an unmistakable aura of killing intent emanated from him.
Even Old Jin, who usually didn't get along with him, cowered, tucking his furry tail between his legs in fear.
Sheng Hongye opened the car door and gently patted Su Ling's head. "It's alright now. I'm going to get some supplies, and then we can take a few more cars."
Su Ling instinctively shrunk her neck, feeling a bit awkward with Sheng Hongye's touch.
It felt almost like patting Old Jin.
Meanwhile, Gu Kai Xuan covered his mouth and giggled on the side.
As she watched Sheng Hongye walk away, Su Ling quickly lifted Gu Kai Xuan into the car.
"Did you disappear just now to find your uncle?" Su Ling asked.
Gu Kai Xuan nodded with a smile. "Yeah, whenever I think of my uncle, everything goes black, and when I open my eyes again, I'm right in front of him. I told him someone bullied Auntie Su, and he got really angry, so he brought me back with him."
Su Ling smiled, feeling touched.
She reached out and removed the weeds from his little head, gently saying, "It's good you found your uncle. Xiaoyue thought you were lost."
Gu Kai Xuan immediately extended his hand to Xiaoyue and said softly, "Don't worry, Sister Xiaoyue. I'm fine."
Xiaoyue held Gu Kai Xuan's hand and imitated the adults, saying, "Little brother, you must be good from now on. Don't wander around randomly."
Gu Kaixuan earnestly nodded and replied to Little Yue, "From now on, Kai Xuan will stay with sister."
Seeing the two children chatting, Su Ling couldn't help but smile.
Children are indeed very innocent and easy to get along with. They don't have so many complicated thoughts. Their world is just so pure and clean, to the extent that Su Ling couldn't help but envy it.
In the blink of an eye, Sheng Hongye had already walked out from inside. He placed several bags of rice into the car and then went back to take out all the canned goods.
Glancing at the trunk, he said to Su Ling, "There are a few more bags of flour inside. Let's switch cars first and then come back for the rest."
Su Ling nodded, and they drove to the previous 4S dealership where a few scattered zombies had gathered again. Sheng Hongye whistled, luring them all out and taking care of them one by one. Then, they each drove an off-road vehicle back to the underground passage.
Concerned for the two children, Sheng Hongye handled the heavy work, plundering the supplies and gaining the magnetic ability from the thin man's corpse.
Using his foresight skill, he saw a miserable scene. Professor Bai and the others sat outdoors under sheets, while others lay on the ground, looking like they were starving.
He noticed two people were missing—Li Xueying and Er Lei.
The background of the scene remained a ruin, and Sheng Hongye couldn't be sure if this was really Lizhou. But one thing was certain; they needed to return quickly, as these people might be in danger.
After a brief discussion with Su Ling about the route, they each drove a car towards Lizhou. Under normal circumstances, the distance wasn't far, but now, debris and collapsed buildings slowed them down significantly.
Without GPS navigation, they had to grope their way forward step by step. After five hours, they finally saw the familiar toll station.
Su Ling was excited. They were finally back.
Another half-hour passed before they reached the previous storage warehouse. However, it was now half-destroyed by a massive tornado.
The several dozen meters of the building had become a cylinder less than two meters tall. The massive iron door had disappeared, and the food inside was all gone, leaving behind more than half a foot of water.
Along the way, they spotted scattered grains, but there was no sign of Professor Bai and the others.
Su Ling shouted twice, feeling anxious. "Could something have happened to them?"
Sheng Hongye squinted slightly. "No, I know where they are. Follow me, quickly."
At the same time, on a pile of ruins, several people helplessly gazed at the sky.
Not far away, a few zombies quietly crawled out of the ground. Suddenly, like wild dogs, they howled and rushed towards the group.
