Su Mo had thought about all kinds of beauties, but it never crossed her mind that Jianxiong might like n!
"No! Stop guessing! I don’t like n!" Jianxiong looked like he could barely tolerate it anymore, but there was a hint of guilt in his tone, as he pointed ahead and said, "There’s soone".
Only then did Su Mo turn her head to look, there was a person lying on the road ahead, whose clothes were still relatively neat but whose body was thin and bony, and it was unclear whether they were dead or alive.
Zhao Changsheng said, "Are you sure it’s not a zombie?"
Li Qian confird after checking and said, "It’s not a zombie, it’s a person".
With only a few scattered buildings around and no zombies in sight, Su Mo unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car.
It was a man, just lying there on his back, his face sohow seed familiar, and he muttered unconsciously, "Water..."
For a mont, Su Mo couldn’t quite recognize the newcor, but a Task Soldier who also got out of the car opened his canteen and poured a few mouthfuls into the man’s mouth.
Like a parched field finally receiving irrigation, the skinny hands gripped the water bottle and drank desperately.
Fearing his stomach couldn’t handle it, Su Mo snatched the water bottle away and beckoned Jianxiong to throw the man into the trunk first.
"This is so random, why would there be a living person on the road?" Jianxiong closed the trunk, looking puzzled.
"We can ask him later when we get back, he should be grateful that we’ve nearly cleared P city of zombies to the point of invisibility," Su Mo re-buckled her seatbelt and urged Jianxiong to hurry up.
By midday, they arrived at the foot of a mountain.
An unnad hill, located by the side of a road, covered with dense bamboo, looked lush and verdant.
"If you ask , this thing is really tough, among plants that are either dead or turned into monsters, this bamboo seems the most normal," Jianxiong punched a Mutated Bamboo, breaking it cleanly in half, and shook his hand saying, "It doesn’t feel that hard either."
Su Mo rolled her eyes at him, "If it could beco a level 5 bamboo like you, do you think we could still be standing here nicely?"
Jianxiong scratched his head and chuckled, "Fair point."
"For dealing with regular zombies or Mutant Beasts, sharpening the tip is already enough," Li Qian said softly and then stood aside, as his spiritual power was not really suited for chopping bamboo, he had to be content with keeping watch.
In the vast bamboo forest, once safety was confird, they began to chop separately.
One by one the bamboos fell, and Jianxiong, with nylon rope in hand, tied bundles so large that two arms couldn’t wrap around them before Su Mo accepted about a dozen into the car.
They toiled on this mountaintop until noon, by which ti a large portion of the mountain had beco barren.
Su Mo simply took out a few plates of food, preparing for a hearty lunch on the spot.
It was midday, under a bright sun that felt warm on the skin.
As everyone ate enthusiastically, a drop of rain splashed onto Jianxiong’s head.
"Is it raining?" He looked up, puzzled.
Under the sunny sky, another drop of rain splashed onto his face.
Su Mo also felt rain on her head, and she quickly put down her bowl and chopsticks, saying, "Stop eating, if it drips into the bowl we’ll be in trouble, could be a virus."
"With this clear sunny day, how can there be Mutated Rain again?" naturally, Zhao Changsheng also felt the rain hitting his arm and heard the noise above his head.
Hurriedly packing up their things, the three of them ran towards the car.
Jianxiong got into the car and wanted to return the sa way, but his gaze suddenly froze.
On the windscreen in front of the car, the droplets were clear, falling one after another, densely covering the front glass.
"Pure... clean water?!" He stuttered in shock, his eyes widening behind those thick glasses.
Su Mo and Zhao Changsheng naturally noticed sothing was amiss as well.
She pressed the window button in surprise and reached out her hand, indeed, the ever-growing transparent raindrops fell into her palm.
"Could this an that all the viruses projected into the sky have finished falling! Will there be no more mutated rain in the future?!" Su Mo’s voice grew more excited as she spoke, "If the weather really becos like this, we can set up a water storage system, and water resources won’t be so tight anymore!"
Li Qian didn’t show much excitent, only saying seriously, "The geologist had said, disasters will still co, don’t celebrate too soon."
Zhao Changsheng felt the sa, "We should hurry back, I reckon this rain must have disrupted the refugee camp again."
Su Mo pulled her hand back in.
Along the way, they drove on under the sunshower, with the sunlight just right, yet the rain grew heavier.
From the initial small droplets, it had slowly evolved to pouring down like large soybeans.
You could hear the crackling sound on the glass.
It was unbearably loud.
The windshield wipers went from the initial slow setting to the highest speed now.
Seeing the torrential downpour through the window, Su Mo cald down and thought of the geologist Li Qian had ntioned earlier, her face suddenly turning pale, "Earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes... tsunamis?"
Seeing her worry, Li Qian took the initiative to say, "A tsunami is unlikely, we’re far from the sea. At most, there might be a flood, depending on how many days this rain lasts."
Zhao Changsheng thought the two were being too pessimistic and couldn’t help saying, "You’re both being too gloomy, it’s just started raining."
Su Mo always had a faint unease in her heart, but not like the past when it ached so much she needed to lie down in bed. She was clear about how accurate her intuition could be.
Staring at the window to the weather that had now turned into a drifting downpour, Su Mo fell silent.
The rain ahead was heavy, but at least they could still move; however, driving had beco increasingly difficult for Jianxiong. The water on the glass rged into a waterfall, and no matter how the wipers struggled to drain it, the next second it was drenched again by the pouring rain.
They had only set out today to chop so bamboo, and the vehicle provided was not a combat car, just an ordinary police car collected from the task hall.
Jianxiong really couldn’t drive any further, the road ahead had beco invisible due to the heavy rain, so he had to stop.
"No way, I can’t see the road. The car was just repaired two days ago; the performance isn’t good, and the engine tends to stall. Let’s wait for the rain to let up before we continue," he said.
Su Mo agreed, "Yeah, it’s too dangerous to keep going like this in case we hit a Mutant Beast or sothing."
Li Qian added, "If we can’t drive, we should stop for a while. If the engine breaks down, the loss would outweigh the gain."
Jianxiong parked the car on the roadside, locked all doors, and, listening to the noise outside, whistled, "This is too sudden, not a single warning sign."
"Umm..."
A muted male voice ca from the trunk.
"Umm..."
A muted male voice ca from the trunk.
The Task Soldier who had been sitting quietly in the car imdiately turned to look, as the partition between the cabin and the seat was removed, giving a clear view of the person in the back.
"Hungry..."
