Chapter 96: Save the saviour (2)
Mao Gan Cao and Gou Jian Fei both expressed that they believed in Ren Zhu’s supernatural powers. Wasn’t that obvious? A meteorite had already crashed to earth and zombies have appeared. What else couldn’t happen? In addition, the living dead could also spray tiny fireballs.
Ren Zhu felt that he really found a good reason.
“But Dage, your ability is a bit strange ah.” Gou Jian Fei thought for a moment: “I’ve been listening to the radio and also the news sent wirelessly to our phones. The current known abilities are basically all elemental or physical enhancement type abilities. There’s very few people with special abilities. Every day, I would think how great it would be if I had a space ability! This way, I would have a comfortable life of eating, sleeping and fighting zombies.”
Mao Gan Cao snorted: “A giant lunkhead like you still wants to have a space ability? I would thank the heavens if you could awaken a power ability. Unfortunately, it’s been half a month already and nothing has happened.”
Gou Jian Fei became dejected when he heard this. “I feel that my physique is tall and sturdy like a flagpole! I don’t even ask for a fire or lightning ability, but how come I can’t even awaken a power ability? This is simply too unscientific!”
“Are you trying to be funny? You still want to talk about science at this time?” Mao Gan Cao snorted again, but soon he also revealed a gloomy expression: “In any case, I study medicine. Shouldn’t I also awaken a healing ability?”
This time, it was finally Gou Jian Fei’s turn to snort: “There’s no more than five known healers in the world, right? It’s already pretty good that we have one in our country. You still want to be a healer? Do you want to take to the sky and go to heaven?”
“I just want to go to heaven! Don’t you want that?!”
Seeing that a cat and dog were about to start a fight again, Ren Zhu pressed his temple and said: “Give me a phone and let me look at some basic information.”
Teacher Ren’s voice was quite gentle, but to Mao Gan Cao and Gou Jian Fei, it was just like a sudden clap of thunder. The two of them shook all over and quickly took out their phones. They held out both hands and presented them to the teacher in a very respectful manner.
Teacher Ren took the phone and started to look through the information stored in it. After about half an hour, Ren Zhu finally had a basic understanding of this world. It was now August of the first year when a meteorite fell to earth and led to the zombie outbreak. About half a month ago, a meteorite approximately a kilometre in diameter fell to earth. Although everyone knew about it, because meteorites were not considered to be that rare of an occurrence, everyone just joined in the fun and watched the meteorite fall before continuing on with their lives as usual.
Afterwards, some explorers found the meteorite fragments and sent them to the research institutes of various countries. That’s when the disaster began. These meteorite fragments didn’t have any reaction to external stimuli, or in other words, they remained completely motionless up until they came in contact with blood. There was also nothing strange with the data collect from them. It was not until a researcher accidentally cut his finger on the meteorite and part of the fragments entered his wound that problems started to arise.
The researcher’s change was extremely fast. In the first half an hour, he had a fever but was also cold all over. His consciousness also wasn’t very clear. After that half an hour, it was just like his mind had completely been swallowed up. He started to have strong attack tendencies and would rush up to bite and scratch anyone he saw. And just like the start of every apocalyptic story, the people who were bitten and scratched by this researcher all became like him. Then, the entire research institute collapsed, as well as all the surrounding facilities and people later on.
In fact, although people were horrified, they also felt doubt about the start of the disaster. If it had only been one research institute where this problem happened, then it wouldn’t have caused the world to collapse so fast. But what was unexplainable and terrifying was that for all the research institutes which had a piece of the meteorite, regardless of whether they were private or national, big or small, they all had problems one after another. It was always a researcher who accidentally cut his finger and started the apocalyptic chapter.
If this was a coincidence, then it was really too coincidental, able to make people’s blood run cold.
Then came the response of the countries. Some powerful countries with strong governance were able to react quite quickly. They set up military defence lines and quarantine stations around major cities and military districts. This could at least preserve the country’s core. But even so, more than half the world’s people became the living dead in this half a month and this number was still rapidly increasing.
Ren Zhu pursed his lips and couldn’t help letting out a sigh. In this kind of world, how was he going to find his partner who might be an elite, a class clown, an iceberg or even a big demon king?! This was simply like finding a needle in a haystack!
“Uh, Dage? What’s wrong? Although your ability is not an elemental ability, it’s also very powerful, right? Is there any need to sigh?”
Ren Zhu couldn’t say that he wasn’t sighing because of his ability, but was sighing because of his ever changing partner. He could only shake his head: “It’s nothing. Although my ability is not one of the 5 elements of metal, wood, water, fire and earth, it’s still pretty good. If I must say, it should be a little better than those speed and power enhancing abilities. I think it should be called…… um, a psychic ability.”
“Ohhh! This is also very powerful! Mind control! You can also let out a mental attack! Dage, those people who put you in a psychiatric hospital must not have understood you! Dead cat and I will definitely follow in your footsteps!!”
Teacher Ren looked at this stupid student and affectionately rubbed his dog head, although, at this moment, his physical age seemed to only be 25 or 26 years old.
“Uh……” The stupid dog’s intuition was generally stronger. It was obvious that the young man in front of him was one of those rich and powerful handsome guys with a carefree life, but why did he feel that this person was just like his 40 or 50 year old strict senior high school teacher?!
“Let’s go. This city is already very unsafe. Since I’m here, you guys have taken the initiative to be my little brothers and serve me tea. Whatever the case, I also need to take you guys with me to Yuan City base and see how to use my abilities along the way.” Ren Zhu said this and stood up. Now that he has a general understanding of the world’s situation, he should hurry up and do his mission.
It’s just that the scope of this mission was really too wide. He had no idea who the ‘saviour’ of this world was. But since that person was the saviour, then whatever the case, there should be something special about them, or they should have special abilities. Such a person would end up standing at the top of this world. So, he only needed to go look around those few large bases and should be able to find some candidates.
Hearing what Ren Zhu said, Mao gan Cao and Gou Jian Fei were so happy that they could take to the sky. It should be know that the two of them were almost unable to continue surviving in this area. There were more and more zombies here, and fewer and fewer living people. In addition, it was also very hard to find food. If they continued to stay here, the two of them would most likely die. Now that such a reliable looking Dage was willing to take them with him, this was definitely a happy occasion!
“Dage! We will definitely work hard and hug your thigh! I’ll now go pack some food!” Gou Jian Fei happily dashed into the kitchen and started to rummage through the cabinets. Mao Gan Cao started to tell Ren Zhu about the current situation of the city.
“Dage, our city is closest to the four big bases of Yuan City. If it was during other times, then it would take about a 4 hour drive to get there. If you take the high speed rail, it would be even faster. Unfortunately, the high speed rail has already stopped moving, so if we want to go there, we can only drive. However, it is said that the highway is badly damaged, so we must find a good car. Also, stupid dog and I had previously planned to break out of here, but the street we’re on is considered to be at the centre of this district. Any direction we go in, there would be a large wave of zombies waiting for us. Stupid dog and I are not strong enough, so we had no assurance that we would be able to make it out safely. That’s why we’ve stayed here until now.”
Ren Zhu nodded: “Then which highway is better for us to go on?”
“Guangyuan highway. The entrance is in the north of the city. We can reach Yuan City if we head all the way north.”
“Okay, let’s find a car first.” Ren Zhu considered. At this moment, Gou Jian Fei had already finished packing the luggage and food.
The weather at the end of August was still very hot. Simply moving a little would cause them to sweat all over. However, no matter how hot it was, life was more important. So even though it was the end of August, Ren Zhu and the other still wore long sleeved shirts and trousers.
Fortunately, in the middle of the day, the zombies also seemed like they didn’t like to move much. After the three of them came out of the building, they calmly walked towards the entrance of the big shopping mall opposite them.
Gou Jian Fei and Mao gan Cou were both a little excited.
“Dage, you don’t know how long we’ve wanted to come here and take a look! In this apocalypse, the number of people with space abilities is almost as rare as healers. Also, their storage space is very limited, so there should definitely be a lot of good things left for us in this shopping mall. The problem is that the weather has been very hot. I’m afraid that the food on the second floor of the shopping mall has gone bad. Sigh.”
“This isn’t the most important thing. What’s most important is that because this is a large shopping mall, there are too many zombies here. These zombies can find us through their sense of smell, sound and temperature. If we’re not careful, we will be attacked from all sides. If that happens, we won’t be able to escape!”
Ren Zhu imagined that scene and felt that it really was troublesome. No wonder these two children guarded such a large shopping mall and only brought out a small backpack of food. He then felt that it was a pity. In his previous life, when he had his partner’s thigh, that guy had given him a super high capacity storage bag. He didn’t think it was very useful at that time, and now he felt regret for his shallow thoughts.
“Let’s first go to the outdoor sports section and upgrade our equipment.” Ren Zhu said seriously. “You two follow closely behind me. I will try to use my psychic ability to make them feel that we don’t exist. It’ll be convenient for us to move.”
Xiao Mao and Xiao Gao immediately felt that they were really blessed to have run into this boss! But Mao Gan Cao still said: “Boss, we should go take a look at the small medical supermarket on the third floor. I will take some essential medications, so that we can be more prepared.”
Teacher Ren was very satisfied with this good motivated child: “Okay.”
Then, Ren Zhu activated his ‘class teacher’s camouflage’ skill.
[Ding. The host has triggered the class teacher’s camouflage skill (level 7): Can stay silently undetected from the target for half an hour. After half an hour, the target will feel more and more tense as time increases. The longer the time, the easier it is to be discovered by the target and the larger the backlash. Current target: zombie.]
Then, Mao Gao Cao and Gou Jian Fei carefully followed Ren Zhu into the shopping mal. They were prepared to go all out at any time, but up until they arrived at the entrance of the supermarket on the second floor, the zombies wandering inside actually looked as though they didn’t see them, moving about in their own world.
Mao Gan Cao, Gou Jian Fei: “……” I must have run into fake zombies today!!
