The post-apocalyptic world has a space full of supplies.

Chapter 232 Zhong Qiang

Once the dark green mist dissipated, Ji Lang and the others saw a car parked behind the dense horde of zombies, with a person standing on its roof.

"Holy crap, what's up with that guy?" Zhong Qiang was surprised to see a person behind the zombie horde. He could clearly see that the person looked quite clean overall, and there was still a tag on his clothes that he hadn't cut off. He probably got the clothes from a shopping mall. Compared to their current disheveled state, he looked more like a "person," except that his skin was a little pale.

Just as Ji Lang was about to step forward and talk to this strange "person", Pei Sihao heard the voice he had vaguely heard earlier again.

At the same time, he also saw that the lips of the "person" on the roof of the car seemed to be moving, and felt that something was very wrong. He immediately pulled Ji Lang, who wanted to go forward.

"Is that him speaking?" Gu Nanfeng seemed to have heard the faint sounds as well. Looking at Pei Sihao's reaction, he looked up at the "person" on the roof of the car and it did indeed seem to be him speaking.

"Leave...vomit...o...west...i...down...ah..."

After listening carefully for a while, the group managed to make out a few fragmented syllables. Only then did they realize that the "person" on the roof of the car opposite them was actually the water-elemental zombie.

The zombie on the roof must have said that sentence more than once; it must have said it many times. Even a person would get annoyed if they said something repeatedly without getting a response, let alone a zombie.

The people in front of it did not respond to its words, nor did they leave behind what it wanted. These few minutes of silence were a complete waste of time. It stopped talking and directly raised a wave of dark green, rotten water.

The water rippled and rose, and as it came into contact with the cold air, some of it began to crystallize. In just a dozen seconds, pale green ice spikes could be clearly seen appearing one after another in the water ripples, and then they pierced towards them.

Seeing this, Lin Yun immediately stepped forward and raised a strong wind towards the ice spikes, but Lin Yun's ability level was obviously not as high as the opponent's. The ice spikes that were thrusting towards him only paused in the air for a moment before thrusting towards them again without hesitation.

"Get out of the way!" Zhong Qiang shouted from behind. Lin Yun turned around and saw that he was carrying the same large cannon that Lu Yuan had used when they first came here.

"Ignite!" Yang Xiao shouted as he stood beside the fuel tank and opened the fuel valve.

Instantly, flames shot out from the cannon's muzzle. Perhaps Yang Xiao had used too much fuel, because the power was no less than that of Lu Yuan's mecha cannon, which was still struggling with the vines behind it.

If Zhong Qiang hadn't been so heavy and hadn't had experience using this thing before, the recoil would have knocked him to the ground.

"I'll help!" Ji Lang immediately stepped forward, and together with Zhong Qiang, they lifted the large cannon from either side.

With two shots, the flying ice spikes were instantly melted. The "person" on the roof was clearly not expected to have such heavy weaponry, and immediately went berserk. His composure vanished, his face became ferocious, the dark green putrid water gradually turned almost black, and the ice spikes formed became even thicker.

On the other hand, with Lin Yun's wind-based ability boosting the cannons, they had already set the first-generation zombies in front of Zhong Qiang and his group ablaze. Because of these zombies as fuel, the six of them were now surrounded by flames.

Gu Nanfeng and Pei Sihao helped Yang Xiao lift the huge fuel tank on the ground, and the six of them squeezed out of the fire door. To be honest, it was really inconvenient, but as long as they could withstand the pressure and get out, Lu Yuan could bring out the armored vehicle, so they had to do it this way.

The six of them exited the emergency exit, and Lu Yuan wasted no time, immediately rushing out as well. He then unleashed another barrage of fire into the stairwell, causing the flames to intensify once more. He quickly activated his spatial panel and searched for the armored vehicle.

Just as Lu Yuan was about to use the car to teleport, the system notification sounded.

"Zhong Qiang! Watch out!"

The system notification came out suddenly, catching not only Zhong Qiang off guard, but also Gu Nanfeng and Ji Lang off guard.

To everyone's surprise, in that moment of stunned silence, a very thick vine shot out from their left, covered in black, rotten juice, and stabbed towards the corroded protective suit on Zhong Qiang's arm.

Before anyone could react, the vine pierced through the protective suit and embedded itself in Zhong Qiang's arm.

"No! It's nothing!" Zhong Qiang's hand went limp for a moment, but he didn't feel anything else. He straightened the cannon again, turned around with Ji Lang, and fired a shot in the direction from which the vines were emerging.

The vine instantly retracted and was pulled out of his arm. Zhong Qiang grimaced in pain, but he held back his cries. He didn't know if the blood flowing from his arm was his own or the putrid fluid brought by the vine, but it instantly stained his entire left protective suit black.

At the same time, the seven people had already teleported from the entrance of the safe passage filled with zombie ashes into the armored vehicle.

"Drive!" Since it wasn't this Lu Yuan who was here last time, although he had a vague memory, it wasn't complete, so he could only tell Ji Lang or Lin Yun to hurry up and drive.

"Zhong Qiang! Zhong Qiang, are you alright!" After getting into the car, Yang Xiao went to Zhong Qiang's side. He saw that black blood was still flowing from the hole in Zhong Qiang's left hand, and he didn't know if it was because of the water-type ability user outside. Zhong Qiang's blood was flowing more and more and couldn't be stopped. Soon his face inside the protective mask turned pale and then started to turn black.

"Yang, Yang Xiao..." Zhong Qiang's consciousness began to blur. The blood in his body had been completely assimilated by the black, putrid liquid. Moreover, because of this black liquid, he could feel that the blood in his body was becoming more and more viscous.

"Zhong Qiang! Zhong Qiang, it's alright... it's alright..." Everyone could see Zhong Qiang's condition, but Yang Xiao kept pressing Zhong Qiang's wound and saying that he was fine.

"Yang Xiao! Take your hands off!" Lin Yun, who was standing behind Yang Xiao, suddenly saw faint smoke coming from the palm of Yang Xiao's protective suit. It was obvious that his protective suit had been corroded by Zhong Qiang's black blood that was constantly flowing out.

"Yang Xiao..." Zhong Qiang spoke again, his voice so weak it was almost inaudible, "Father Yang, please go, I can't go on... I'm... about to... lose control..."

Zhong Qiang's voice was intermittent, but Gu Nanfeng and Pei Sihao could clearly see that his face had become even darker. They each grabbed one of Yang Xiao's arms and pulled him away.

"Lu Yuan, change the car! We can't keep this car!" Gu Nanfeng shouted at Lu Yuan as he pulled Yang Xiao aside.

Seeing the state of the car, Lu Yuan knew it was beyond repair. The bottom of the car, stained with Zhong Qiang's black blood, was corroded and had holes, revealing the ground underneath. Countless vines were trying to crawl through these holes.
