Chapter 1048: We Don't Take Dead Weights

When Lin Yi saw the scene before him, his immediate reaction was that he was doomed.

Although he had spoken boldly before, when he truly saw that thing, neither human nor ghost, charging toward him, Lin Yi froze completely in place, unable to move.

It was not that he was too cowardly; he swore he had never been this stiff in his entire life.

Just as the infected was about to pounce on Lin Yi, a hand extended from Lin Yi's left side, directly blocking the infected from reaching him.

The infected lunged forward frantically; Ning Chen frowned slightly, raised his hand, lifted the infected into the air without touching it, then withdrew his hand, exerted force, and threw the infected aside, separating the head from the body.

Facing Huo Jinglin rushed over from not far away, looked at Lin Yi, and shouted: "What the hell are you doing! Why didn't you dodge? Are you trying to die!"

"Daily updates! Hundreds of books! Free book search! New books released irregularly!"

Shouted at by Facing Huo Jinglin like that, Lin Yi came to his senses; thinking of the scene just now, a chill ran down his back, he felt utterly terrified, his legs went weak, and he sat directly on the ground.

Seeing Lin Yi sitting on the ground and trembling slowly, Facing Huo Jinglin exhaled; heaven knows how terrified he was just now when he saw Lin Yi standing there without even dodging.

You must know, if it hadn't been for a hair's breadth, Lin Yi would have been bitten.

Facing Huo Jinglin squatted down, forcibly made Lin Yi lift his head, looked at him seriously: "You cannot die, do you hear me? Next time remember to run, do not stand there stupidly; your life is very valuable, you cannot lose it here!"

Lifting his head to meet Facing Huo Jinglin's gaze, Lin Yi could clearly see the seriousness and full concern in Facing Huo Jinglin's eyes.

"I'm sorry for making you worry, but I just thought Ning Chen was behind me; no matter what, he would save me, right?"

Saying this, Lin Yi lifted his head to look at Ning Chen, giving him a signal with his eyes.

Say something quickly, dear, help me.

Receiving Lin Yi's distress signal, Ning Chen spoke softly: "Mm, I'm here."

Since Ning Chen had said so, Facing Huo Jinglin naturally would not pursue it further; he pulled Lin Yi to his feet, then said viciously: "Next time I see you standing there without dodging, I'll break your legs and throw you into that horde of zombies, let you cuddle with them!"

Lin Yi showed a sycophantic smile, pinched Facing Huo Jinglin's shoulder to flatter him: "General Huo, rest assured, this humble one will definitely take good care of things; this humble one still needs to protect General Huo!"

As the saying goes, no one hits a smiling face; seeing Lin Yi like this, Facing Huo Jinglin's anger, however great, dissipated.

Ning Chen looked around, did not find Xiao Han's figure, and turned to look at Facing Huo Jinglin.

"Where is he?"

Every time, Facing Huo Jinglin had to react to what Ning Chen said, turn it over in his mind, and then Facing Huo Jinglin understood that Ning Chen was talking about Xiao Han.

At the same time, he also remembered what he had just come out to say.

"Right, right, we found three or four people here who were not infected; we were just protecting them, and when we saw that infected approaching, this fool shouted and scared it away; Xiao Han is now guarding those few people."

Xiao Han pointed behind a shelf not far away, explaining carefully.

Ning Chen led the way over; he saw Xiao Han with one foot propped against the shelf, and under his leg huddled four people: one girl and three boys.

"Oh, you're here; what should we do with these people?" Xiao Han raised an eyebrow, put down his leg, and the few people trembling nearby became even more panicked.

Looking at this, anyone who didn't know might think Xiao Han was the infected one.

Ning Chen looked at Xiao Han a couple more times; the Xiao Han before him seemed off.

But now was not the time to think about Xiao Han's situation; it was to solve the problem at hand.

Ning Chen looked at these few people twice; one of them wearing glasses might have also sensed that Ning Chen was the mainstay here, so he hurriedly spoke up.

"Big brother, we, we came here to buy things, but we encountered this kind of thing, and we never dared to go out; please, please take us with you!"

The other three people, hearing the one with glasses appeal to Ning Chen for help, also looked over expectantly.

Ning Chen thought; he definitely could not take these few people onto the RV; although he could also leave them here, judging by their situation, they would probably cling to them.

After thinking for a long time, Ning Chen suddenly remembered that when he was getting clothes just now, he had seen a car key on the counter at the front desk.

Thinking of this, Ning Chen told the few people to stay where they were; he ran quickly to the third floor, took the key down, and then threw the key to the one with glasses.

"Get up, go."

After speaking, Ning Chen turned to push the cart full of supplies.

Lin Yi and Facing Huo Jinglin exchanged a glance, said nothing, and silently went to push the cart.

Xiao Han followed beside Ning Chen; he pulled the cart behind him, walked leisurely, looking less like someone coming to get supplies and more like someone shopping.

Exiting through the front door, outside was still empty; Ning Chen placed the shopping cart beside the RV, opened the storage compartment, and told everyone to put the things into the storage compartment first.

And Ning Chen came to the last few people.

"The key."

The one with glasses hurriedly took out the key and handed it to Ning Chen.

Ning Chen aimed at the many cars in the parking lot outside and pressed a few times.

Not far away, a white van lit up.

Ning Chen threw the key back to the one with glasses, then pointed in that direction, and said no more.

The four people looked at each other, unsure of Ning Chen's meaning.

Lin Yi finished packing, ran to Ning Chen's side, and then translated: "His meaning is, you drive that car; now all the survivors are in Zone F; you should hurry and drive over there."

The one with glasses stepped forward, looked at the RV not far away, and pleaded: "Um, please take us with you, please; we can't make it like this."

When he came down just now, he saw the infected with its head separated from its body on the second floor nearby; that was clearly done by the person in front of him.

The one with glasses could distinguish at once; following Ning Chen would definitely be absolutely safe.

Ning Chen said nothing, neither agreeing nor refusing.

Xiao Han, standing nearby, walked over, whistled, and mocked: "Tsk, in this apocalypse, begging others is not as good as begging yourself; moreover, why should we take you? Take you few dead weights? Don't joke."

Xiao Han's words were very sharp, but very true; moreover, Ning Chen would not let others board the RV, especially those not from their world.

"A few great lords, please take us with you~" The only girl among them stepped forward, her voice sweet and coquettish, and she cast a flirtatious glance at the few people, seemingly trying to seduce them with her beauty.

The girl's thought was very simple: if she could win the favor of one of these people, even if they didn't take everyone, taking just her alone would be fine; moreover, these few people all looked quite good.
