After repeatedly confirming several times that it was not because of her Supernatural Abilities, Bai Yan finally relaxed and let out a sigh of relief.
After the intense emotional upheaval, Lu Ming had already fallen unconscious.
Bai Yan tucked the blanket around him and continued driving.
She removed the bulletproof doors and windows and threw them into the recycling bin.
Li Chuan was chasing them from behind. She had no intention of making things convenient for him.
She was not in as much of a hurry today, so she could avoid violent jolts as much as possible.
After driving safely for two hours, Bai Yan was forced to stop when she encountered a strip of tire spikes lying across the road ahead.
She had already guessed the reason, and the vehicle completely stalled.
Sure enough, more than a dozen men and women suddenly rushed out from the bushes on both sides.
They were all holding various kinds of machetes and meat cleavers.
The burly man at the front raised his knife and pointed it at the driver’s-side window as he threatened her.
“Everyone inside, get out! Leave the supplies and the vehicle behind, and I’ll spare your lives!”
The vehicle’s windows were tinted for privacy, so no one outside could see in.
Bai Yan observed the group without moving.
She could see the level of a person’s Supernatural Abilities above their head.
According to the setting in the novel, only the person themselves should be able to know the level of their own Supernatural Abilities.
So this was another cheat ability 0315 had given her.
Among the dozen or so people, the highest level belonged to the man currently shouting. He had a Level 2 Metal-type ability.
Among the women clinging to the men’s arms, one of them had a Level 1 Spatial ability.
Only four of the remaining men possessed Supernatural Abilities, and all of them were Level 1.
Everyone else was an ordinary person.
Bai Yan had no intention of wasting time on such a cliché plot. She simply grabbed her knife and got out of the vehicle.
“The person inside…”
Before Niu Peng could finish speaking, he saw an absolutely stunning beauty open the car door and step out.
The men were all stunned when they saw her. Their gazes instinctively locked onto Bai Yan and could no longer move away.
The women clinging to them angrily glared at her.
Niu Peng said, “Hah~ I never expected to encounter such a beauty in the apocalypse. Little beauty, follow me. I’m the boss around here. If you follow me, Niu Peng guarantees that you’ll never have to worry about lacking supplies!”
As he spoke, he moved toward Bai Yan. His filthy hand even reached toward her chest.
Crack.
By the time Niu Peng reacted, his arm had already been severed.
“Ah!”
He clutched his severed arm as blood sprayed out continuously. He screamed in agony.
“Damn you, stinking bitch…”
Whoosh.
Bang!
Rumble, rumble…
The woman closest to him screamed when she saw Niu Peng’s head roll to her feet.
Her scream immediately attracted all the nearby zombies.
Bai Yan tossed a fireball at the strip of tire spikes on the ground and teleported back into the vehicle.
The moment she started the engine, a huge horde of zombies surrounded them. The dozen or so people scattered in all directions.
The men fought the zombies while fleeing for their lives, each looking after himself.
The women who had no ability to protect themselves hurried to the RV and desperately pounded on the door for help.
“Ah! Open the door! Open the door!”
“Get out of the way! Hurry and open the door! I said open the door!”
“As long as you open the door, I’ll do anything you want! I’m a Spatial-type ability user! I’m a Spatial… ah!”
Bai Yan slammed her foot down on the accelerator and charged straight through the horde of zombies.
The violent impacts made her frown as she repeatedly glanced at Lu Ming through the rearview mirror.
He was sleeping deeply and showed little reaction.
Fortunately, those people had been there. The zombies had all been attracted by the smell of fresh blood.
Once she escaped the horde, Bai Yan immediately slowed down and steadied the vehicle.
The following afternoon, Lu Ming woke up.
Bai Yan told him that there was a small base nearby. It had been established inside a high-end residential complex with very strong defensive capabilities.
She planned to stay here temporarily so she could treat him. They could also rest peacefully inside the base without worrying about danger.
After seeing Lu Ming smile and nod at her, Bai Yan began preparing the two of them.
She changed Lu Ming’s clothes and put him into the off-road vehicle.
“In a moment, whatever I say, you have to cooperate and nod, okay?”
Lu Ming found her serious expression and tone adorable. He grinned and nodded.
(She’s so cute. I really want to pinch her cheeks.)
Once everything was ready, she went over the upcoming events in her mind once more before driving to the base entrance.
The guards immediately stopped the vehicle when they saw it.
Bai Yan rolled down the window and gave the guards an innocent, completely harmless smile.
The moment the guard saw her appearance clearly, his face immediately flushed.
Lu Ming saw this from beside her, and his expression instantly darkened.
(I really want to dig this man’s eyes out.)
The sudden killing intent made the guard wary. He looked past Bai Yan toward the passenger seat.
Bai Yan immediately turned her head and blinked at Lu Ming as a warning.
“Is he with you?”
Bai Yan turned back and put on an angelic smile.
“Mhm, he’s my older brother.”
“Your biological brother?”
“Yes, he’s my biological brother. We’ve always depended on each other to survive.”
“Fine… Then the two of you get out and register.”
“Well… my brother was seriously injured protecting me. He can’t walk anymore.”
After saying this, she even reddened her eyes and sobbed a few times.
The guard hurriedly waved his hand and agreed to let only her get out of the vehicle.
“Your name and your brother’s name.”
“My name is Lin Qing. My brother’s name is Lin Sen.”
After writing it down, the guard asked, “Abilities?”
“My brother is a Level 1 Water-type ability user. I’m a Level 3 Fire-type ability user.”
The guard suddenly understood.
“No wonder you’re so clean, and you were able to safely bring your brother, who can’t walk, all the way to our base. So Miss Lin, you actually possess such a high-level combat-type ability.”
Bai Yan smiled shyly.
“Then can we go in?”
“Of course. Take this stamped registration slip. Once you’re inside, go to the main hall, hand over your supplies, get your room card, and you’ll be able to move in.”
Bai Yan happily clapped her hands.
She opened the car door, took out a pack of cigarettes, handed it to the guard, and then drove through the base entrance.
“Stay here and wait for me. I’ll be right back.”
She rubbed Lu Ming’s head before getting out of the vehicle.
Inside the main hall.
Bai Yan found a window with fewer people and joined the queue.
Because of her exceptionally striking appearance, she attracted everyone’s attention the moment she entered.
“What are you looking at? Are you so captivated by that slut that you’ve lost your soul?”
Bai Yan followed the voice and looked over.
She saw a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears leering at her from head to toe.
Standing beside the old man was a middle-aged woman who was about the same size as him.
While glaring fiercely at Bai Yan, the middle-aged woman viciously pinched the fat around the old man’s waist.
“Don’t talk nonsense! You’re such a shrew! You’re always imagining things that don’t exist!”
“I’m a shrew? You shameless old bastard! Don’t think I don’t know about the crap going on between you and that slut Shen Zhenzhen next door!”
“So what if I have the ability to enjoy myself? I’ve already been kind enough to support a fat pig like you all this time!”
“You good-for-nothing Liu Jianguo! Who do you think helped you get where you are today? How dare you talk to me like that!”
The middle-aged woman furiously waved both hands and repeatedly pounded on him.
The old man viciously shoved her away with all his strength.
With a loud bang, the middle-aged woman was sent crashing into a load-bearing pillar.
Stars flashed before her eyes, and blood continuously spilled from her mouth.
“You fat bitch. You’ve really gotten bold. Get lost before I kill you!”
