Chapter 54 - The Glow Of Humanity (1/2)
Shen Chen’s car sped forward quickly, so quickly that the trees and buildings on either side of the road became a blur. From the window, Shen Chen could see two people discreetly walking in the opposite direction. It was quite apparent that they were behaving stealthily, because when they saw Shen Chen’s car, they quickly hid themselves in a corner.
After seeing the car disappear, they finally crept out of the shadows, saying with a sigh, “F*cking hell. What was that?”
Little Tian quickly went up to help support him. “Ming, what should we do now?”
Ming looked terrible, but his pale face did nothing to mask his ugly personality. Spitting out a mouthful of blood and saliva, he replied, “What do we do now? We thrash the old geezers!”
“But didn’t they leave with the car?”
“Idiot. Didn’t you see that the car was filled with all sorts of crap? That rascal didn’t bring the two of them with him! Didn’t I tell you so? Who would be so altruistic during an apocalypse? I better not see that rascal ever again. Otherwise, I’m gonna bust his balls!”
“I knew you were the best, Boss!” Little Tian’s faith in his boss could not be shaken. “What do we do next, Boss?”
“Let’s head back. See if I don’t kill those old geezers!” Ming continued ranting. “There must still be stuff that we missed in those warehouses. Let’s have a good look when we get back!”
Meanwhile, Little Tian was busy gleefully rubbing his hands together. He was already fantasizing about how he would torture the old men and how he would make them apologize and kneel before him. “They’ll pay for it, godd*mnit!” he thought.
Some distance away, Shen Chen’s car had stopped by the side of the road. He got out of the car with his Black Blade, a smirk on his face.
Little Tian and Ming were so busy ranting that they hadn’t realized a figure was approaching them and was getting closer and closer!
Scarface Ming suddenly had a sense of foreboding. A chill went down his spine as he turned around frantically, asking in a trembling voice, “Who’s there?”
“Whoosh!”
Ming felt a cold sensation around his neck. The next moment, he was surprised to realize that his field of vision had become so wide that he could see the reservoir, the roaming zombies, and even the stars twinkling in the sky. Soon after, he also saw a familiar head whizzing through the air.
…
There were clearly more zombies roaming about at night than the day, but Shen Chen was a skillful driver who made the most of Ye Xiaoyu’s SUV. After ramming into dozens of zombies, the three of them were back at the hotel within thirty minutes.
Zhao Zhen and the others crowded around them as soon as they arrived at the hotel. They were so excited to see them that Shen Chen and the others were almost swallowed up in the crowd!
Pan Di held Shen Chen in a tight embrace. “Boss, we were worried to death about you guys!”
Shen Chen slapped Pan Di and Zhao Zhen on the shoulder, a smile on his face. He said teasingly, “What? Were you guys worried that we wouldn’t make it back?”
“Touch wood!” Guo Yuan immediately interjected. “Why wouldn’t Boss make it back?”
Everyone could barely hide the joy on their faces. Having not heard from the three of them for the past few days, everyone had been feeling really worried and restless, especially Li Jing, who kept moaning that Shen Chen must be dead. If it hadn’t been for Zhang Hongtao, who kept her in check, who knew what kind of fuss she would have kicked up.
“All right, Boss just got back. Xiaoya, go prepare some food for them. Everyone, let them get some rest first!” Zhang Hongtao instructed.
