Chapter 12: Participating in a Mission

rson!"With my mother and father's genes, do you think I would be born with such a useless physiqueUpon hearing the ripples' words, the two elders exchanged a glance, their eyes sharpening."Child, what...Yun Rou was very uneasy at this time, especially as the people leaving in batches sped up. She immediately climbed onto the military vehicle for the second wave of departures. Originally, she wanted to get to Captain Zhao Chonglin's side, but unfortunately, the captain directly led his men back to the city center to meet up with their comrades. She immediately gave up the idea of following him.

And on the other side, Wu Lianyi, who was being remembered, accelerated Sun Yi's pace. As they moved farther and farther away from the city, they could hardly see any shadows of zombies anymore.

Midway through, Sun Wang filled his stomach and switched places with his older sister. Although he had only gotten his driver's license during the holiday, his masculine nature allowed him to pick it up quickly.

Sun Yi ate a small box of seaweed rice and closed her eyes to rest. She would need to switch out Sun Wang in a while, after all, he was a novice, and she wasn't very reassured about leaving him alone.

Son Yi Gang squinted for fifteen minutes, and suddenly the whole person flew to the left due to inertia, accompanied by a sharp screech of brakes. She immediately opened her eyes and cried out:

"Sun Wang!"

"Sister!"

Sun Wang also spoke up, then pointed at the massive horde of zombies moving ahead, swallowed hard.

Wu Lianyi had been closing her eyes to rest when the unexpected incident occurred. After stabilizing her figure, she opened her eyes and looked at Sun Wang who slammed on the brakes. She shook her head and immediately said:

"Sun Yi, you drive, give it all you've got!"

"Good!"

Sun Yi looked at the zombie in front of her, and she felt a little creepy. She immediately switched positions with her younger brother and shouted:

"It's safe to use the seatbelt!"

Then, adjusted the direction and slammed on the gas pedal, charging straight ahead.

The vehicles following behind also noticed the lead car's sudden stop and then saw it accelerate again. They, too, spotted the zombies in the road. The vehicle closest to the lead car was a family of three. The driver, decisive as ever, instructed his wife to protect their child, then slammed on the accelerator and sped out into the chaos.

The sound of "bang bang bang" kept ringing, fortunately this horde of zombies wasn't endless, there were only two hundred of them. They were walking aimlessly on the four-lane road and, attracted by the convoy, quickly approached in this direction.

Before, Sun Wang stepped on the brakes because he suddenly saw a zombie. It was an instinctive reaction. When he saw it after the impact, he broke through the wall of zombies, his face flushed. He was still inexperienced.

Even so, Sun Yi's hands gripping the steering wheel were already covered in sweat. The vehicles behind saw that the car ahead had successfully passed through and immediately increased their speed. After being rammed and crushed by over thirty vehicles of various types, this zombie horde lost two-thirds of its members.

As the sky began to lighten, they arrived at the designated location first.

There was a guard at the entrance to the shelter, making everyone disembark and register while checking their bodies. They clearly knew that the possibility of mutation was very high after being scratched or bitten.

Wu Lianyi, along with the Sun siblings, lined up at the back of the long queue. When a staff member asked them if they had awakened to any abilities, she simply said that her strength had increased and did not reveal her lightning-type ability to them.

Sun Wang boasted about his speed and demonstrated his teleportation ability, though the distance was limited, it was indeed practical and was recorded separately. Meanwhile, Sun Yi, under Wu Lianyi's suggestion, did not reveal her own peculiarities.

These people with superpowers were arranged to a place, and Sun Yi was placed in the same ten-square-meter room as them because she was Sun Wang's relative. She was temporarily settled down.

"Sun Wang, go scout ahead and see when the people behind us will arrive, especially my good friend Yun Rou."

Wu Lianyi still has tasks to accomplish, she doesn't want to waste time.

"Okay, Sister Ripples, you guys rest. I'll go scout around."

After finishing his words, he quickly left the house.

"Sun Yi, if you have any bad feelings, just tell me. This is only a temporary shelter and it's not safe."

Wu Lianyi turned her head and said to Sun Yi.

"I understand!"

Sun Yi immediately nodded. Now, on the surface, only she among the three was an ordinary person, but that was also her best protection.

Before the two could even chat for a few sentences, Sun Wang rushed in, pushing open the door and saying to the two of them:

"Ripple Sister, sister, the shelter is now gathering people, saying they're going to rescue people outside the city. When they arrived at the shelter, they attracted a horde of zombies."

"How is the payment calculated"

Wu Lianyi asked directly.

"Priority housing rights are given to those with food, and those who have a stake in the construction of survival bases."

Sun Wang investigated very carefully.

"Since they released this message, they must want us awakened people to participate too!"

"Yes!"

"Alright! I'll go join the fun, you two wait here."

Wu Lianyi calmly said.

Sun Jia's siblings looked at each other, and Sun Wang then stepped forward:

"Ripple Sister, I'll go with you. If we get into a tough fight, at least I can help you escape."

Sun Yi bit her lip and nodded in agreement. The current environment is like this, it's best to adapt as soon as possible. Relying on others is not as good as relying on oneself. She understood this truth.

"Go!"

Wu Lianyi did not refuse, since people wanted to make progress, she would naturally not stop them.

The two quickly went to the place Sun Wang had already investigated and registered. Because both of them were abilitiers, they passed smoothly.

When distributing weapons, Wu Lianyi had already placed her own sword on her back, taking only a pistol. Sun Wang chose a long-handled steel knife, which was chosen by Wu Lianyi for him because of his speed and emphasis on surprise attacks, the knife needed to be sharper.

"Hold your knife tightly, for to lose it is to lose your life."

"Understood!"

Sun Wang immediately nodded. He had already cooperated with his sister to kill zombies at the convenience store in the gas station before, and besides being by Ripple's side, someone with explosive power, as long as he was quick-witted, he could still handle it.

Two people were assigned to a truck that was already full of small warriors, about twenty of them. After a while, three more individuals with the same abilities as them boarded the truck.

After the two parties had greeted each other, the truck quickly drove away from the temporary shelter.

"Please pay attention everyone, this is a critical time. I hope you all follow orders and act accordingly. Our mission this time is to assist in the evacuation of civilians and escorting our comrades. The main priority is to withdraw, so please do not engage too deeply."

"Yes!"

The little warriors answered very readily, and the remaining five also responded one after another. One of them, who considered himself a superior being with special abilities, looked somewhat arrogant and didn't utter a word, only nodding his head. The squad leader frowned at this.

The truck sped towards the city center. After two hours, it met with the leading convoy. After exchanging messages, both parties continued on their way.

The departing convoy passed them, and half an hour later they saw the retreating convoy battling their way back, and then all they could see were hordes of zombies.

Ready to fight!ether in a show of reverence, bowing theatrically before striding towards the Guóji Temple atop the mountain. Behind her trailed Grandmother Sun and a retinue of maidservants.Because the Xiangguo Temp...
