Chapter 463: 256 Rejection Afterwards (Third Update)_2 Chapter 463: 256 Rejection Afterwards (Third Update)_2 Because they had been delayed for a while, they were now lagging at the back. Fearing being left behind, the young man drove incredibly fast. Luckily, the performance of the vehicle was good, and since Bai Ye and Fang Yuxin hadn’t been ruthless, keeping their speed moderate, the young man was able to catch up quickly.
Bai Ye and Fang Yuxin, leading the convoy, noticed their approach, exchanged glances, and sped up. Seeing this, everyone else also quickened their pace.
In the car, each person’s thoughts were different. Those who were not infected by the Zombie Virus felt a deep sympathy for the two unfortunate infected individuals. Although sharing food hadn’t sat well with them, the thought of two vibrant lives fading away—those infected being their acquaintances or even companions—couldn’t help but move them.
Being suddenly killed by zombies would have been one thing—just a montary event, which, however unacceptable, had already happened, and brooding on it was useless. But infection with the Zombie Virus was different; it was sheer torture!
The infected would slowly feel the ebb of life, as would everyone else. Such agony was torture for most people. Even if they didn’t experience it firsthand, just the thought of soone dying was excruciatingly painful.
At the sa ti, there was a pervasive sense of imnse relief. They hadn’t been injured by zombies, spared from enduring such pain.
That was the case for everyone, not to ntion those who had witnessed it all.
The young man rejected by Yuxin watched his Aunt convulse painfully on the seat through the rearview mirror, and felt intense sorrow. He bit his lip hard, tears streaming out, yet he dared not cry out loud.
By now, he realized his rashness. To survive, he had no choice but to follow the car ahead closely. He was acutely aware that getting left behind could very likely lead to only one path—death!
In another car, a grandfather and grandson sitting in the front were also anxiously gazing at the rearview mirror.
The man appeared to be in extre pain!
Both felt that such pain was beyond human endurance, but the man was enduring it—enduring it to avoid waking his daughter, he even dared not make a move!
What a terrifying willpower!
They couldn’t help but hold him in high esteem. After hesitating for a while, the elder softly said, “Brother Liu, rest assured… if sothing happens to you… we’ll definitely take care of your daughter.”
Upon hearing this, the man’s eyes curved slightly in gratitude, but with a towel in his mouth, he couldn’t speak; he had to let it go.
In fact, he had already noticed his body growing stronger bit by bit, and although the process was very painful, he sensed a special and unfamiliar Energy.
He didn’t know if this was what they called a superpower, but he was sure this wasn’t an illusion! He might be undergoing an Awakening!
Then, he rembered the strange Energy Fang Yuxin had injected into him, and he understood that his ability to hold on, even to awaken, was all thanks to her. However, her deanor made it clear she didn’t want others to know about her ability.
Feeling the strength in his body growing stronger, he made his resolve once again. She had saved him, and once he recovered, he must repay this debt through his own actions!
As for the young man who had clearly been spoiled by his parents, he would understand sooner or later. No, even if he didn’t, it didn’t matter; his gratitude was likely sothing she didn’t even care for!
Thinking this, he gritted his teeth and then looked tenderly at his sleeping daughter. At this mont, he was incredibly grateful that he had made the right choice.
As for the kindness of the grandfather and grandson… he appreciated it, but it was not needed. He would take care of and protect his own daughter!
As ti ticked away, the young man endured the initial agony, and the pain gradually eased. His once pale and ashen face also began to regain a healthy rosiness.
The grandfather and grandson in the front saw the change through the rearview mirror and imdiately widened their eyes in astonishnt. The young grandson doubted his eyesight and asked the elder cautiously, “Grandpa, am I seeing things? Is he… it can’t be a rally before the end, can it?” His last few words were especially soft, fearing the man in the back might hear.
The elder curiously gazed at the reflection in the mirror, then turned around, took out his glasses from his pouch, and carefully put them on, squinting to examine the man’s complexion.
Then, he suddenly said, “This man isn’t rallying before the end; he’s struck lucky…”
The young grandson gaped, still unable to grasp the situation, “Struck lucky? What kind of luck?”
The elder gave him a harsh glare, a slap on the face, and scolded, “Focus on driving! Don’t ask what doesn’t concern you!”
He silently recalled the youth’s previously deathly pallor and his subsequent visit to Fang Yuxin for help, slowly piecing things together. Then, he harbored a terrifying suspicion—that girl might be a master!
Then he frowned, shaking his head at the car beside them. That young man had indeed been spoiled by his parents; even in tis like these, he didn’t know better. He didn’t know what to say and what not to say!
Thinking this, he glanced silently at his grandson and suddenly felt a wave of relief—his grandson might be a bit dull, but at least he had a sense of proportion in his speech and actions!
The suspicious young grandson watched him and asked guardedly, “Grandpa, what are you thinking about now?”
With that, the elder couldn’t help but give him another smack in frustration! How could he end up with such a block-headed grandson!
