Chapter 609: Chapter Six Hundred and Nine: Split Up and Take Action

“Yeah, why are you outsiders causing trouble at our base? Better leave early!”

Someone in the crowd shouted.

“Long Aotian is not someone you can just meet, he is a big shot.”

“I bet you want Long Aotian’s supplies, dream on, we’ve bought all the supplies. If you want them, wait for next time, hahaha.”

“Hurry up and go, you’re holding up our queue.”

“…”

Just as Qian Hong and the others were about to explode, a pair of neatly dressed guards had already arrived at the door.

Wen Zhixin approached with a smile and said, “This must be Han Jin, the second young master of the Han Family. My apologies for not welcoming you sooner, Base Director Bu is waiting for you, please follow me.”

Han Jin held back the restless Qian Hong and replied, “I only know Base Director Liu Jianyuan, I don’t recognize any Base Director Bu.”

“Hahaha, Liu Jianyuan has long gone to meet the ghosts, you still want to find him?”

Laughter erupted from somewhere in the crowd. There were hundreds, if not thousands, of survivors lining up to buy supplies, most of them Special Ability Users. Seeing these outsiders, the crowd was not frightened at all; instead, they seemed to take pleasure in the discomfort of Han Jin and his companions.

“Liu Jianyuan committed many evils and was sent off to Lord Yama by the Buddha Lord. Now, Bu Hong is our Base Leader.”

“Who do these people think they are, acting as if we should care about them.”

“…”

Wen Zhixin held back his laughter and timely said to Han Jin, “Shall we go?”

Han Jin and his companions swallowed their pride. The voices were hundreds upon thousands, and glaring wouldn’t fix their gaze anywhere, so they had no choice but to follow Wen Zhixin and his group out.

Wu Xingye looked on contentedly at the survivors inside the base. They were all unafraid and bold, yet they had united strangely because of Liu Jianyuan. This was somewhat surprising to him.

…

Two days later, Lu Hao finally returned to his rented apartment, and they planned to set off for the return trip early the next morning.

As for Xing Taian’s base, they had just received a message from Lin Tianhui in space, saying that Xing Taian had just arrived at the S City base and had met with Xing Taining. He was planning to wait there for Su Jin and the others to return, so there was no need for them to head that way.

Since there was no deposit for the rented house, and there were no procedures to deal with, the group of five quietly prepared to set off early in the morning.

The temperature was still a bit cool in the early morning. Lu Hao wrapped his arm around Su Jin’s shoulder, leading her to the parking lot. Meanwhile, Lu Guanhai, after being cooped up in space for a few days, was also excited to embark on the journey home.

“Are we really just going straight back, not going on any explorations or anything?”

Lu Guanhai asked regretfully.

“At most, we’ll kill a few zombies. What else do you want to do, Dad?”

Lu Hao replied, seemingly the only family to treat traversing the Apocalypse as an adventure.

The car smoothly exited the F City base’s gate. Seeing the gate’s brand-new look, Su Jin felt quite happy for the F City base. She remembered that in her past life, F City base had a quite notorious reputation. She believed that under Bu Hong’s leadership this time, it should become a decent base.

After driving for a few more roads, Qiqi noticed something amiss.

“There are three vehicles that have been following us ever since we left.”

Mao Qiqi looked back. At first, she thought they were just surviving vehicles going the same way, but now that they had taken the road back to S City base, those three vehicles became somewhat suspicious.

“How many people?”

Su Jin asked.

“16.”

Hearing this, Lu Hao clicked his tongue. The number matched the one Yin Bao had previously mentioned. It was very likely to be Han Jin and his group. So were they waiting outside the base for them all this time?

“Could it be that they saw me when I went to the parking lot to pick up the storage bag?”

Su Jin said with some regret, “If I had known, I should have brought a hat or something.”

“Xiao Jin, when I and Lian Jiyue try to hold them off later, you take Qiqi and Dad and go ahead,”

Lu Hao quickly decided, if it were zombies it would be one thing, but facing sixteen high-level Special Ability Users, he didn’t want the now pregnant Su Jin to get hurt.

After considering it, Su Jin unexpectedly did not object. She was never one to act tough, especially since Lu Hao and Lian Jiyue were fully capable of escaping: “Okay, I’ll also hurry and create some things to hold them up for a while.”

Since recovering his memory, Lian Jiyue had always admired Su Jin’s family. In times of crisis, they seemed to never drag anyone down, nor did they act like those survivors he rescued in E City who insisted on tearfully following behind others, only to cause tragic situations.

Han Jin and his group were closely following the vehicle ahead. Not wanting this operation to go to waste, Han Jin did not want to return empty-handed. If they could capture Su Jin and Lu Hao, that would be considered a significant contribution. Plus, they appeared to be just a few people.

“Once we’re on the main road ahead, Qian Hong and Lin Chao will each take a car and encircle them from the left and right,”

Han Jin said through the walkie-talkie.

“Yes”

“Yes”

Qian Hong excitedly drove his car, thinking that if he could catch Su Jin this time, he would surely reclaim the shame he had suffered in the past!

“The intersection ahead, Xiao Jin,”

Seeing some movements from the three cars behind, Lu Hao spoke up.

“Got it,”

Su Jin nodded her head, opened the car window, and began to quickly grow rows and rows of wooden spikes on the road.

Screech~~

The sound of the car’s emergency brakes came from behind, and Su Jin then created a rather tall row of road-blocking wooden stakes, completely blocking the sight of the cars behind.

“You two be careful, we’ll wait for you at the base,”

Su Jin said.

“Xiao Yue, be careful too,”

Mao Qiqi also said with a clasped hands gesture.

Lian Jiyue nodded with a smile: “See you later.”

As the roar from behind grew louder, signaling that the people behind were destroying the roadblocks, Su Jin quickly took out another vehicle from the Space, and without a second word, Lu Guanhai took the driver’s seat, shouting, “Daughter-in-law, Qiqi, hurry up and get in!”

Watching the vehicle ahead drive away, Lu Hao felt relieved.

Su Jin had already hinted that they would enter the Space ahead and then use the Teleportation Array to return to the S City base, thus saving the three of them a bumpy ride all the way.

But looking at Lian Jiyue with his stoic face beside him: “…”

Lu Hao felt his decision was not so perfect after all.

“Just hold them off, we don’t have the advantage,”

Lu Hao said.

Lian Jiyue nodded and stepped out of the car with Lu Hao. Having stayed in the base without using his Special Ability for several days, he was itching to use it again.

Bang bang bang!

Several metal walls, each as tall as a three-story building, abruptly appeared on the road, completely blocking it off. Qiqi had said there were no other routes to detour around this road, so…

Let them slowly deal with these obstacles.

Lu Hao did not hesitate to ignite several fire screens between the metal walls.

If they could get past these and catch up with the two of them, then they would just have to fight it out, Lu Hao thought.
