Chapter 6.02 – We Seem To Have Met Before (2)

[W-Why is there no silencer? Even worse, this is such an old model.] It was practically an antique! He thought it would at least be an electromagnetic pulse gun or a laser gun.

Big A replied, [We must consider the world’s level of science and technology. Don’t worry, the bullets are unlimited. Anyway, aren’t you going to run?]

[Fuck!] Xiang Han began to run wildly. After the gun went off, many zombies began to appear. At first, there were only in pairs or threes. Later on, they grew denser in numbers. He didn’t know where they came from but they were all charging towards him.

Xiang Han gasped as he ran. [Hurry up and put a silencer on it. It’s also not effective to keep running like that. Do you have a map? Everything is going dark…]

System: [The map is loading. Mr. Xiang, why don’t you go hide in the supermarket nearby? There’s food there so you can survive there for a few days until the zombies disperse…]

[Okay, okay!] Xiang Han didn’t have the time to think. He quickly increased his speed and sprinted over to the supermarket.

“Fuck!” Beardy’s eyes grew as wide as saucers. This time, he didn’t even need his binoculars to see the unlucky lad ‘leading’ a bunch of zombies as he ran towards them.

“Captain Xu, what should we do?” Beardy wiped his hands and looked instinctively at the man.

Xu Yan Ze’s eyes were filled with anger but he remained silent. Suddenly, the woman who had been wiping her blade earlier spat, “Kill.”

It was impossible to use abilities from this distance. But once that lad came closer, there was a chance he would notice. That’s why the best choice was to kill him.

A baby-faced youth quickly picked up her gun upon hearing this. But before he could aim it, someone pushed it away.

“Captain?” He was confused.

“A silencer isn’t good enough, it’ll still attract them.”

“But…”

“I’ll lure them away. You guys just need to cover me.” The leather-shirt man was swift and decisive, quickly throwing down the binoculars as he left.

Everyone exchanged glances but soon, Beardy stood up. “Go help.”

The baby-faced youth saw this and stood up to follow without another word.

The others turned to look at the knife-wielding woman and she stood up. “Go help.”

Xiang Han ran like a madman until he reached the supermarket. But just before he was about to enter, a modified off-road vehicle abruptly appeared. His pupils shrank. When he thought that it was going to crash into him, the other side suddenly turned the wheel to narrowly turn the car’s body and right in front of him.

Xiang Han didn’t hesitate to open the door and dive in. He hadn’t even had the time to sit properly before the car whirled around as quickly as before, shooting forward like an arrow. The frantic crowd of zombies who threw themselves against the vehicle’s sturdy body trying to bite a hole in it was quickly flung off.

“Thanks, bro!” Xiang Han wiped off his sweat and turned to see the other person was dressed from head to toe in leather. Even his hands were covered in a pair of black gloves. He couldn’t help but ask, “Bro, it’s so hot outside. Don’t you feel warm?”

Just as he said this, the air around the other man suddenly became several degrees cooler. Truly, it wasn’t because Xiang Han had been frightened by the other person’s gaze which gave rise to a misconception.

“Sing.” Just as he decided to keep his mouth shut, leather-shirt bro suddenly spoke.

“What?” Xiang Han didn’t understand.

“Sing. Lure all the zombies over.” Leather-shirt bro explained.

“Oh oh.” Although he didn’t understand what was the point of it, this man had saved his life.

Xiang Han wracked his brains for two seconds before clearing his throat. “Bro, your hometown has 400 catties of ducks, are you sending it to Panama? Yes ah~ yes ah~ come…”1

“Beep-” Leather-shirt bro abruptly slammed into the hood and Xiang Han immediately shut up. He only managed to ask after some time, “Uh… do I sound too terrible?”

“Hehe.”

After luring all the zombies away from the supermarket, leather-shirt bro displayed his driving skills several times and successfully shook off all the zombies under the protection of his teammates.

They came to a stop some distance away from the supermarket. Leather-shirt bro suddenly opened the door and said to him, “Get lost.”

His actions and expression stunned Xiang Han. “Big bro, we seem to have met before.”

Beardy coincidentally just arrived and laughed when he heard this. He gave a side glance to Xiang Han. “Lad, this type of pick-up line has long expired.”

Xiang Han ignored him, staring only at the leather-shirt man. In his mind, he was frantically flipping through the details on Xu Yan Ze. Once he found it, he saw the appearance of the man and suddenly grabbed his chest.

The leather-shirt man glanced at him but swiftly turned nonchalant. He opened the door and got off.

Xiang Han quickly followed along, holding onto him. But after enduring for some time, he still didn’t know how to open his mouth. Xu Yan Ze at present has not yet transmigrated. He didn’t know who Jin Bao Han was, not to mention him.

Seeing his face turn red from restraint, Xu Yan Ze was also somewhat taken aback and wrinkled his brows.

Beardy glanced at both of them and touched his chin in silent contemplation. This sad-looking lad is disastrous. He couldn’t have taken a fancy to their Captain, right? Look at these two men’s positions, it’s really the ‘holding hands and looking tearful as one silently chokes back their tears’.

In the middle of watching this exciting show, Xu Yan Ze suddenly shook off Xiang Han’s hand in annoyance. “Laozi has no interest in asses. Get lost.”

Xiang Han was stunned. His excited heart had fallen in the blink of an eye and shattered into two halves.

Even though there was nothing he could be angry for since the other man didn’t know him, Xiang Han still couldn’t hold back his anger.

No interest? Then why did you have an interest in your next life? Hmph! How despicable, spit!

After roasting him, he happily followed along.

“Bro, how many people do you have? Where are you going? Bring me along?”

According to the story, after the female lead abandoned him, the scum man met many zombies but was saved by Xu Yan Ze. Once he knew Xu Yan Ze’s team was going to Shuguang Base, he quickly told them he had money and connections. If these people brought him along, they wouldn’t make a loss once they reached Shuguang base.

Xu Yan Ze didn’t care, but the others in his team did so they eventually brought him along. Midway through, they met the female lead’s team and the scum man was quickly played to death.

Although Xiang Han didn’t want to die because of the female lead, he had to follow this team since Xu Yan Ze was here.

Seeing that Xu Yan Ze had entered the supermarket, Xiang Han followed. But before he could take two steps, they stopped him.

“Lad, you should be glad we didn’t fault you for attracting all those zombies. Don’t push your luck.”

At this time, more members returned. Once they saw Xiang Han, their gazes grew unkind.

Xiang Han was somewhat discouraged, thinking: Looks like I have to use the scum’s method.

Thinking of this, he cleared his throat. “Do you know who my dad is? Wu Mingqi!”

Beardy scratched his ears. “No name2?”

“…” Xiang Han glared at him and tried again. “Our Wu family can be considered one of the top families in the capital even if not the first. Even if it’s Shuguang base, my dad definitely has some power and connections there. If you guys take me along, I’ll give you all any benefits you want.”

“Wu Mingqi?” The knife-wielding woman frowned and repeated.

“Bring him along.” Xu Yan Ze said flatly before Beardy made space for him.

Xiang Han quickly dived in but suddenly hit against a hard and sturdy body. When he looked up, he saw Xu Yan Ze staring expressionlessly at him.

He instinctively wanted to give a hollow laugh but remembered it didn’t seem right. He was a scummy rich second generation, he should be arrogant and despotic. So he raised his chin and met his stare but due to the difference in their heights, it was impossible to meet it straight on. He simply tilted his chin higher and stealthily raised his heels.

Previously, when Xu Yan Ze’s hand had been grabbed, he thought this person didn’t know his limits and wanted to learn to attach himself to someone else like a parasitic plant. But now, it was obvious that this person simply had a problem with his brain.

He scoffed lightly and simply turned away.

Xiang Han’s neck was beginning to ache. He let out a relieved breath seeing the other person leave while thinking to himself: There’s something wrong. In the last world, Yan Ze wasn’t this cold.

The members who came in last quickly blocked the door and everyone hid back into the supermarket. There were only a few who stood guard a distance away.

Xiang Han wanted to find a way to get closer to Xu Yan Ze but seeing the latter’s gloomy face, he quickly dropped the idea.

The baby-faced youth beside him was cute and gave him a sense of familiarity. After inching closer, he began in a small voice, “Little bro…”

“Laozi is already thirty.” The baby-faced youth looked up to stare expressionlessly at him.

“Uh…” Xiang Han’s expression froze instantly. This baby… No, this big bro was really fierce.

He quickly looked away and found the beauty holding her knife,

“Don’t even think about using my wife.” The baby-faced man’s voice grew more sinister.

Xiang Han could only stiffly turn back to size the other person up.

The baby-faced man was evidently displeased, looking away with a cold snort.

Xiang Han glanced at the others again and somewhat understood Xu Yan Ze’s behaviour. Apart from Beardy, everyone else probably suffered from facial paralysis. This must be contagious.

Since he couldn’t get any information, he simply huddled in a corner to go over the data.

He learnt that Xu Yan Ze and the rest of the team were escaping from the zombie wave and took the opportunity to stock up before leaving tomorrow. He also began to investigate the ability package Big A gave him.

This plaything was similar in effectiveness to the plant’s ability of this word. However, it was more like an in-game skill which required him to learn and attain mastery. Using it once would consume his ability points… no, it should be spiritual power.

[This world is specifically useful for raising your spiritual power, Mr Xiang. You need to work hard.] Big A reminded him.

[Why do I feel that this ability is particularly similar to a power… in a certain holographic game in the federation?]

Big A shamelessly admitted, [Mr Xiang, do you also play ? This was referenced from their data and we tweaked it a little.]

Afterwards, he instructed, [The plant ability’s offensive power isn’t big but it’s good for healing. Moreover, it’s extremely rare in this world so once it appears, all bases will fight for it. This ability is also the key to allowing the general to recover his memories. Before that happens, you mustn’t be discovered.]

[Got it.] After tossing for half a day, he never got a chance to properly rest. Zombies would continue to appear at night and they had to be on their way tomorrow…

Xiang Han yawned and just as he was about to close his eyes, Xu Yan Ze suddenly appeared. He was pulled up and a monotonous voice sounded. “Go over there and keep watch.”

His eyes immediately widened. The tears that had gathered during his yawn had yet to dissipate, so he looked particularly innocent and at a loss.

Xu Yan Ze frowned, recalling how Xiang Han had just broken a zombie’s neck just recently. But now, he was acting so weak. Did he think that doing this would cause him to feel pity and not send him to keep watch?

Tsk, this little second-generation is really an actor. Acting so sticky at first, and pretending to be pitiful now. He’d probably suffered quite a bit during the apocalypse. For the sake of reaching a base, he was capable of any means.

Once he thought of this, Xu Yan Ze immediately released his grip and coldly stated, “Since you want to join our team, you should also do your part in keeping watch just like everybody else.”
