Chapter 1070: Exploring B City with One's Own Body

Before anyone could raise an objection, Xiao Han stood up and stretched.

"Alright, let's do it this way; this is the best method for now. If we drag it out any longer, when in the monkey year or horse month will we reach F City?"

The last sentence was spoken by Xiao Han to Ning Chen.

"Good, stay safe."

Having received Ning Chen's agreement, Xiao Han grinned, then got off the Fangche Sect and walked forward.

Ning Chen left the Fangchede Sect door open, while Huo Jinglin kept watch; if anything happened to Xiao Han, they could quickly enter the Fangche Sect.

Xiao Han strutted ahead, his relaxed state making it look less like he was luring zombies and more like he was strolling.

Ning Chen drove the vehicle, following not far behind Xiao Han.

They had almost circled the entire B City outside the barrier, yet nothing unusual had occurred; the surroundings were so quiet it seemed the city was truly an empty one.

"Brother Ning, it's been an hour; let him come back and rest."

Lin Yi, having kept time, approached the driver's seat and made the proposal exactly when the hour was up.

Seeing Ning Chen nod, Lin Yi was about to signal Xiao Han but suddenly stopped his hand, his entire body going on guard.

"Brother Ning, what's wrong?"

Ning Chen didn't reply to Lin Yi; he saw that although Xiao Han was walking ahead, his body was clearly tense, his entire person having entered a combat state.

If there were no other matter, Xiao Han wouldn't be like this; likely, Xiao Han had discovered zombies.

Just as Ning Chen thought, Xiao Han had just sensed a wave of pressure; the farther he walked forward, the stronger this feeling became, and the situation was clearly very wrong.

This kind of pressure was not something ordinary zombies could generate, and moreover, the ability Xiao Han projected outward told him that the zombies nearby probably numbered over a hundred.

That was not a small number.

As Xiao Han walked, he slowed his steps further, shortening the distance to the Fangche Sect while remaining vigilant of his surroundings.

Seeing Xiao Han walking slower and slower, Ning Chen understood and increased the speed of the Fangche Sect.

The Fangche Sect and Xiao Han drew closer and closer until they were level, yet neither stopped.

Xiao Han glanced at the open door and intended to enter.

Just then, a zombie roared and charged out, its speed faster than any zombie's speed before.

Xiao Han's eyes sharpened; he quickly entered the Fangche Sect, and the zombie behind him missed grabbing him by a mere centimeter.

Huo Jinglin, who had been guarding the entrance, immediately unleashed a series of lightning bolts.

The zombie, shocked by the electric current, twitched for not long before turning into black charcoal.

Huo Jinglin used nearly sixty or seventy percent of his ability for this move; after closing the Guanhao Sect, he sat on the sofa panting.

Heaven knew how nervous he was in his heart when he first saw that zombie suddenly charge up.

The surrounding zombies grew more and more numerous; Ning Chen controlled the steering wheel, swiftly weaving through the various zombies.

The zombies that had originally hidden seemed to have all emerged, chasing the Fangche Sect and running wildly.

After running down several streets, they finally managed to shake off those zombies.

Fortunately, this Fangche Sect consumed no fuel; otherwise, running like this, it would surely end in ruin.

The vehicle gradually slowed, giving Xiao Han a chance to reveal what he had just discovered.

"There must be high-level zombies in this city; that wave of pressure just now was absolutely something ordinary zombies in the surroundings could not generate."

This trip of exploration was not without gain; at least they now knew the situation of this city.

Ning Chen stopped the vehicle; although this car consumed no fuel, it could not be driven aimlessly.

The instant they stopped, a woman's scream rang out from outside.

"Ah! Help me!!!"

Everyone looked outside and saw a woman being chased by several zombies.

The woman was disheveled, her clothes tattered and ragged, and she was running for her life.

When the woman saw the Fangche Sect, her eyes lit up; she ran to the Fangchede Sect door and began frantically pounding on the Fangche Sect.

"Save me, I beg you, save me!"

Several people remained unmoved, showing no intention of opening the door.

The woman also sensed they did not want to save her; her eyes were full of despair, and her voice involuntarily rose.

"I beg you, I don't want to die; I beg you, save me!"

Seeing the woman in tears, Gu Yanqi felt somewhat reluctant; she looked at Ning Chen and said, "Brother Ning, let's save her; let her get on board first, and we can put her somewhere else later."

Facing Gu Yanqi's words, Ning Chen never said no.

He walked to the door and opened it; the instant the woman entered the vehicle, the zombies chased up; Ning Chen made a gesture at several zombies, and they instantly fell apart.

The woman sat on the ground, panting heavily, her expression filled with fear.

"Eh? Aren't you that person from the supermarket?"

Lin Yi, with sharp eyes, immediately recognized the woman as the one from the supermarket who had insisted on hooking up with them and going with them.

Seeing the other party recognize her, the woman's body trembled; she then pleaded pitifully, "I, I beg you, don't kick me down; if I go down, I will die!"

"I'll take her to wash up first."

Gu Yanqi, feeling reluctant, pulled the woman up and took her to the restroom to wash, putting her away from the men.

After the two left, Lin Yi looked at Ning Chen and asked in confusion, "Brother Ning, is this woman okay? I feel something is strange somewhere."

Ning Chen said nothing; instead, he and Xiao Han exchanged a glance.

Both saw the expression in the other's eyes; the two thought of the same thing.

Seeing them playing dumb again, Lin Yi felt quite unwell.

"Stop exchanging glances! Brother Ning, you have a sister-in-law; what's the situation exactly!"

Ning Chen didn't speak; instead, Huo Jinglin, who had been deep in thought, discovered something was wrong.

"That woman is indeed suspicious. Although she was being chased by zombies, those zombies clearly slowed down. Moreover, though her clothes were tattered, she bore no injuries. Just that alone is puzzling."

"So, Brother Ning, you plan to keep her here to observe her?" Lin Yi wore an expression of sudden realization.

"Yes. Since she wants to blend in with us, let's see what she actually intends to do."

Ning Chen glanced toward the bathroom; the sound of running water had ceased, meaning she had finished washing.

"In any case, everyone stay alert. Lin Yi, find an opportunity to inform Gu Yanqi of the situation."

"Ah? Should I go? But I saw that little sister Gu Yanqi seemed quite protective of that woman. Maybe Brother Ning, you should go." Thinking of how carefully Gu Yanqi had treated the other woman just now, Lin Yi feared that if he went to tell Gu Yanqi, he would precisely step on a landmine.

"No."

Those two short words did not dispel Lin Yi's fear; Lin Yi looked at Ning Chen with resentment.

As if the task assigned to him were some enormous mission.
