Chapter 574: Chapter 574: The Weird Han Yue
When Han Yue left F-City, he took several boxes with him, the contents of which were not visible, but no one paid much attention to them, assuming they were just food provided by the base leader of F-City for the road.
"I heard there are a few small bases between F-City Base and N-City Base, if we can make it by night, we’ll have a safe place to rest,"
Han Yue said.
"Indeed, resting in a base is the most comfortable. I’ve had a good sleep these past two days,"
Wei Junhao stretched out lazily.
Behind him were Bai Ying and Mu Yunle. Mu Yunle seemed much better than he did two days ago, even his dirty clothes had been replaced with clean ones, and his eyes, filled with curiosity, were looking around.
A small base, huh...
Su Jin wanted to say something but did not.
The ice and snow on both sides of the road had completely melted, leaving the area outside F-City Base muddy.
Fortunately, the people from B-City still remembered several flat roads, so the car jolted for only about ten minutes before driving smoothly again.
Su Jin felt fine, but Lu Hao breathed a sigh of relief. Every jolt of the car tightened his heart a bit, and even though Su Jin had said that pregnant special ability users are not so fragile, he couldn’t help but worry.
Probably because the special ability users from F-City Base came out everyday to clear the zombies, there weren’t many zombies on the road for the time being. If things continued to go this smoothly, they would probably reach B-City Base within three days.
But obviously, things were not always going to go smoothly, and the good road conditions only lasted for half a day before problems started occurring frequently.
A seven- or eight-story building collapsed right in front of the three vehicles, blocking the road completely.
The car in front made a sharp turn in a hurry, barely avoiding the flying debris.
"It’s a mutated zombie,"
Just as Qiqi finished speaking, a mutated zombie leaped out from the rubble.
It was an earth element mutated zombie, that was growling loudly with its mouth open, hurling countless stones towards the direction of the three vehicles with its hands!
"Hold on,"
Lu Hao backed the car smoothly over a hundred meters, while the other two cars also retreated upon seeing this.
Roar!
The growl spread as the earth element mutated zombie ran toward the three vehicles. This was a level seven earth element mutated zombie.
"Stay in the car, I’ll handle it,"
After saying this, Lu Hao opened the car door and jumped out.
Su Jin was also ready to provide support with her special ability, but unexpectedly, Lian Jiyue sitting in the passenger seat also got out of the car.
"Xiao Yue, be careful, you’re only level five,"
Mao Qiqi said.
Lian Jiyue nodded and quickly followed Lu Hao.
With Lian Jiyue’s assistance, Lu Hao found it much easier to deal with the earth element zombie that was a level higher than himself.
The metal element ability had excellent defensive measures. Even the fierce stone spikes attacked by the earth element zombie were blocked outside by Lian Jiyue’s metal shield.
Su Jin, who had planned to assist with her special ability, gradually relaxed.
"The two of them coordinate well,"
Lu Guanhai also commented.
"Yes, they really do,"
And although Lian Jiyue was only a level five special ability user, he was quite capable of fighting and enduring, which Su Jin had discovered during the zombie tide in S-City Base.
After taking about ten minutes to deal with the outside earth element zombie, the door of Han Yue’s car opened.
"Brother Lu, could you let me have that crystal nucleus?"
Han Yue knew it was a level seven earth element mutated crystal nucleus, but since the Heart Talk Team didn’t have an earth element ability user this time, if he could bring a level seven earth element crystal nucleus back to B-City, his father Han Zhimin would definitely be very pleased.
"No,"
Lu Hao gave no consideration at all, he directly rejected Han Yue’s request.
"Here’s the thing, my younger brother, Han Jin, is likely an old acquaintance of yours, and he’s probably trying to break into level six of the Earth Element, if..."
"If I said no, then no."
Lu Hao picked up that level seven Earth Element Crystal Nucleus and headed straight for the car.
Lian Jiyue also glanced at Han Yue and followed him expressionlessly.
"No way, the Han family members really do have thick skins, not helping out during a zombie slaughter but expecting favors when someone else does the killing?" n𝚘vp𝚞𝚋.com
Bai Ying thought she had heard wrong at first, only after opening the car window did she realize Han Yue really wanted that Crystal Nucleus.
"I think he shames the people of B City."
Zheng Shu said with a look of disgust.
"That’s what happens when you’re from a big family and big business, they probably feel that everyone around should flatter them."
Wei Junhao rubbed Mu Yunle’s hair and said, "See that, Lele? This is called unearned gains, and it’s a very shameful behavior."
"I see, shameful."
Mu Yunle’s childish voice sounded in the car, making everyone laugh.
And there was an awkward moment for Han Yue, he hadn’t expected Lu Hao to refuse so flatly; he was even thinking about bargaining with a level five fire element Crystal Nucleus if Lu Hao hesitated, but the man didn’t falter at all.
Xu Mingliang’s view of Han Yue changed.
If someone were to ask him for a Crystal Nucleus he had worked hard to obtain, he would likely curse them out until they couldn’t find their own mother.
"Young Master Han, don’t stoop to their level, it’s they who don’t know how to compromise,"
Fan Decai saw Han Yue’s embarrassment and comforted him.
Xu Mingliang rolled his eyes and continued gazing out the window, falling surprisingly quiet.
"Han Yue asked you for a Crystal Nucleus?"
Su Jin and the others hadn’t heard what Han Yue was saying; they couldn’t believe Han Yue was so shameless. What made him think they would give it to him?
"Shameless indeed,"
Lu Guanhai cursed.
"Shameless indeed,"
Mao Qiqi echoed.
"..."
Su Jin couldn’t help but laugh, why did it sound so funny coming from Qiqi?
Lu Hao couldn’t help but laugh as well, it was like a little girl cursing out a dirty old man.
Ever since the Crystal Nucleus incident, Han Yue had clearly started to have issues with the Heart Talk Team, but other than his snide remarks, he couldn’t really harm the Heart Talk Team, and Lu Hao and the others didn’t take him seriously at all.
According to Wei Junhao, the closer they got to B City, the bigger his attitude became, probably feeling that he had something to rely on.
In the afternoon, Han Yue even took out a map given by Liu Jianyuan, insisting on heading to a small base in their current area for respite.
"This area is all wilderness, I, a mere civilian, can’t survive out here,"
Han Yue said.
"Mr. Han, I don’t recommend going to that base,"
Su Jin also got out of the car and spoke.
"Why not? Isn’t it safer there? Could it be, Mr. Lu, that you still hold a grudge about this morning’s incident, so you want to target me?"
Han Yue started his sarcastic questioning again.
Well, Su Jin didn’t try to persuade him further, hoping that the small base he mentioned would indeed be safer...
