Abnormal survival in the end times

Chapter 222 Misunderstanding
After finishing the final registration task on the first day, Deng Bo and He Ningzhu were so tired that they could barely lift their hands, but they still wanted to talk to Bai Yang.

However, it was too late and the timing wasn't ideal, so the two had no choice but to return to their lodgings first.

After all, these survivors are only being resettled so far; they will have to come back early tomorrow morning for a more detailed relocation.

They had gone through three rounds of interviews at the management office to finally get this job. So no matter how tough or tiring it was, they had to grit their teeth and persevere.

Of course, this kind of hardship is nothing compared to the hunger, cold, and life-threatening dangers outside.

Deng Bo actually arrived in Pengcheng two months earlier than He Ningzhu, but his relationship with Bai Yang was just so-so before, so he didn't know that Bai Yang was from Pengcheng. In addition, after arriving here, he was busy with three meals a day and didn't even realize that the Baiguoyuan that everyone was talking about was actually Bai Yang's family's.

Later, when he heard that the management office was recruiting, he went to sign up and happened to see Jiang Minglang leading several soldiers striding past him. He was stunned at the time.

Jiang Minglang's aura was so sharp that it was unforgettable at first glance. What's more, when he went to Ningcheng University to pick up Bai Yang, he also helped them out of a predicament.

So he immediately recognized that this was Bai Yang's brother-in-law.

When he inquired further, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

During the second round of interviews, I ran into He Ningzhu and learned that she had already met Bai Yang.

Of course, He Ningzhu would never tell him about the seemingly plausible but actually misunderstandings that arose in the process.

Fortunately, Deng Bo didn't care about that. His attention was entirely focused on work and daily meals. After all, he had parents and a younger brother to support, so the pressure was immense.

A few days later, Deng Bo met Bai Yang again at the registration desk at the main gate. Bai Yang was standing in front of a car, looking like he was about to leave.

Deng Bo happened to stop for a rest, so he quickly went over to greet him.

"poplar."

Bai Yang turned around, and the two exchanged a few pleasantries. Then, Bai Yang unexpectedly learned about his friend Dong Ziming.

He didn't die. He went to Kyoto with his parents and his third uncle's family to find his second uncle.

Before the apocalypse, his second uncle worked in a government department in Kyoto. He was said to be quite capable and held a high rank. The family figured that seeking refuge with the most capable member of the family would be the safest option.

Deng Bo was someone Dong Ziming and his group met by chance at a service area on their way to Kyoto.

At that time, the apocalypse had only been going on for less than six months, so it was still quite early. Jiang Minglang and Li Nan hadn't completely cleared Pengcheng out yet. Zombies were roaming in almost every neighborhood, and some people were still locked up in their homes. The constant hissing and groaning, coupled with the attacks from mutated bats during thunderstorms, made the entire city terrifying and dreadful.

Therefore, leaving to find a reliable base in the north was a choice made by many people in Shenzhen at the time. They probably never imagined that one day Shenzhen would become one of the bases that many people flock to.

Bai Yang breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, as long as Dong Ziming was still alive, that was good.

Deng Bo was self-aware and didn't ask Bai Yang what he was doing outside, nor did he ask about his current situation with He Ningzhu.

Fortunately, he didn't ask, because when Bai Yang opened the car door and got in before leaving, Deng Bo caught a glimpse of a young girl sitting in the car. He couldn't see her face clearly, but when Bai Yang got in, the girl didn't move. Bai Yang sat down almost right next to her, and the two looked very intimate.

Deng Bo's eyelids twitched; he knew that He Ningzhu's plan had failed.

Back in school, the class beauty was aloof and arrogant, looking down on almost everyone, but she treated Bai Yang differently. Yet, he remained unmoved, making the boys in their class grit their teeth in frustration.

The most beautiful girl in the Foreign Languages ​​Department once asked Bai Yang out to dinner, but he refused with the excuse that they weren't close.

To be honest, back then, all the boys in his class wanted to smother him with blankets and beat him up in the middle of the night.

Damn it, it's like some are dying of drought while others are drowning in floods.

You should know that in the physics department, 95% of the male students are single.

So who can understand their feelings?
Deng Bo watched the car drive out the gate, shaking his head with amusement. Bai Yang, who had always been criticized for being slow-witted and clueless, had finally come to his senses.

He turned back to work, not giving the matter a second thought.

"Was that your classmate just now?"

Hearing the two talking about school and classmates, Xi Shuang asked out of curiosity, "Is it the girl you told me about before, the one whose last name is He who likes you? Is she with you too?"

Bai Yang was startled and quickly explained, "What do you mean, she likes me? That's not true. My sister said she just wants to use me."

After he finished speaking, he subconsciously turned his head to look at Xi Yu, who was driving in the front seat. Just now, when Xi Shuang said the words "I like you", this older brother gave him a sharp look through the rearview mirror.

It's so scary.

He quickly changed the subject to Deng Bo, "He was our class monitor during our undergraduate years. Although we weren't in the same class for graduate school, we were still in adjacent classes and taught many open courses together. He's a good person. During our four years of university, he helped three students in our class apply for subsidies. I don't know about other classes, but the students in our class who received subsidies were genuinely from impoverished families."

Sure enough, this topic successfully diverted Xi Shuang's attention.

She said, "That class monitor is really good. I remember one of the girls in our class got her subsidy and immediately went to buy a new phone, but her old phone was less than two years old. Many people knew there was a problem, but no one spoke up because she was dating our counselor."

After hearing his sister's words, Xi Yu's first reaction was, "This brat really said a lot this time. Why doesn't she talk so much when she's with me?"
My second thought was, was this the main reason she insisted on taking the postgraduate entrance exam before her junior year?
Studying medicine is inherently tough, so Xi Yu didn't think about letting this girl skip grades. He figured she could learn and progress slowly, and there was no need to make herself so tired.

But Xi Shuang used to be very quiet. Every time she called, Xi Yu would ask her questions, and she would give brief answers, saying that she was fine, there were no problems, and he didn't need to worry about her. It wasn't until the second semester of her sophomore year that she asked him to take some time to go to the school to help her apply for early postgraduate entrance exams.

Actually, Xi Shuang could have done it herself, but the counselor in her class was not exactly a good person.

Following his principle of not causing trouble for his sister, Xi Yu gave that guy a card with 20,000 yuan. After Xi Shuang was admitted to graduate school and left that class, he immediately took advantage of his vacation to go back and collect evidence, and then sent an anonymous letter of complaint to the head of the dean's office.

They also recruited computer enthusiasts to hack into their campus forum and put all the evidence on the front page, the kind that couldn't be deleted no matter what.

Later, the counselor was naturally dismissed and kicked out of the school.

However, Xi Yu only knew that the guy was greedy and dishonest, but he didn't know that he had already hooked up with a young girl in his class back in his freshman year.

Fortunately, he didn't touch Xi Shuang, otherwise...
When the topic turned to the controversies and gossip surrounding university life, the two seemed to open up, engaging in a lively and enthusiastic discussion. As they talked, their hands clasped together, and they leaned closer together.

Ren Bin, sitting in the passenger seat, yelled, "What are you doing? Can't you see there are two 'light bulbs' sitting in front? Be mindful of your surroundings."

Xi Shuang blushed and tried to pull her hand away from Bai Yang's, but he held on tightly.

Bai Yang said to Ren Bin, "I saw Liu Er's cousin come to see you again last week. What did she bring you this time?"

Xi Yu was shocked. There were women looking for this guy?

What look?

He stared wide-eyed at the road ahead, and before Ren Bin could speak, he asked Bai Yang, "Which one? Does Liu Er have a cousin?"

Are you blind?
"Yes, Liu Rongrong. Let me tell you about Ren Bin. Rongrong is very smart. Before the apocalypse, she was a senior in high school and the top student in my dad's class. If it weren't for the apocalypse, she would definitely have done well on the college entrance exam." Xi Yu was shocked again. "Is such a smart kid blind? What did she see in this kid? Or has she become stupid from studying too much and can't tell the difference between beauty and ugliness?"

Bai Yang nodded seriously, "It's possible. He's just a kid; it's not surprising that he might make a mistake."

Ren Bin opened his mouth several times, only to have the two of them interrupt him. He stared blankly at them, even though they were talking about their own affairs, he couldn't get a word in edgewise.

Finally, she couldn't hold back any longer and angrily said, "Enough, you two! Do you think I'm stupid and can't tell? You even said I'm ugly? Where am I ugly? Xiaoshuang, tell me, am I ugly? I'm very handsome, okay! Liu Rongrong coming to me shows that she has good taste."

After saying that, he adjusted his short buzz cut and then turned to look out the window guiltily.

In reality, Liu Rongrong discovered she had a special ability, a fire-based one, but the flame was extremely small, always just a tiny spark. Even when she used all her strength, it was still just a tiny spark.

She didn't understand whether this counted as having a special ability or not. After all, it was worlds apart from the fireballs that Ren Bin could easily unleash.

Therefore, she was too embarrassed to tell others, but after thinking about it, she decided to ask Ren Bin for advice.

In Yunxi Village, besides the two dogs, Xiao Wu and Liuli, the only fire-type fighter left is the warrior that Ren Bin and Qiao Fei brought later.

But compared to the soldier, the villagers of Yunxi Village were more familiar with Ren Bin, since he had been there for a longer time.

Liu Rongrong asked Ren Bin to keep it a secret and pleaded with him to help her research how to make her superpower the same as his in his spare time.

To put it bluntly, it was a beautiful misunderstanding, but Ren Bin couldn't tell the truth yet because the little girl had been training for a month, and the flame she was releasing was still tiny. It was nowhere near as big as the flame produced by striking a match.

Liu Rongrong felt ashamed, so she didn't want to make it public.

Since the person in question didn't want to talk about it, Ren Bin naturally wouldn't interfere. Besides, it wasn't a big deal for him; he was just helping train someone with the same attribute of superpowers, what was the big deal?

I never expected that being seen by others would lead to this misunderstanding.

What he didn't know was that what Bai Yang said was still the best-case scenario; two households in the village were thinking that Liu's daughter wanted to get close to Jiang Minglang's soldier.

I felt a little disdain, but more than that, I was jealous and regretful that I didn't have a daughter.

"Hey? Liu Rongrong really has a crush on you?"

Bai Yang was joking, but Ren Bin actually admitted it.

Although the child wasn't particularly beautiful, she was still quite pretty. Among the students in this graduating class, she was the one with the greatest potential in Bai Xiangqian's eyes.

He's a bit dull, the kind of dullness you'd expect from a bookworm.

At this moment, Ren Bin was also thinking of this word. That girl was so dull and didn't have any talent for superpowers. How could she be as good as Bai Yang said?

Of course it's good or bad, he didn't mean to cause this kind of misunderstanding with the girl.

I just said something extra in the heat of the moment, all to save face.

Therefore, she realized what was happening and immediately explained, "No, I was just joking. She called me to talk about something important, not what you think."

Xi Yu and Bai Yang wanted to tease him some more, but then the car driven by Qiao Fei and Zhang Shaoda suddenly stopped.

This mission was led by Qiao Fei, and the destination was Medicine Mountain.

Otherwise, Xi Shuang would have come along, because there were many herbs that no one else recognized except her.

Huo Siyun, Huo Lao's granddaughter, was also acquainted with them. It was originally agreed that she would come along before the trip, but she over-trained and her superpowers were exhausted, and she felt uncomfortable all over. Until they set off, she couldn't muster any strength at all.

Unfortunately, the plan couldn't be changed, so we had to remove her.

There weren't many of them this time. The car in front contained Zhang Shaoda, Qiao Fei, Jiang Qi, Lin Zhe, and Xiao Wu.

Yes, those two kids were brought out again this time. Since we said we were going to train them, it couldn't be over in one go.

Fortunately, the two children were not intimidated and did whatever the adults told them to do, remaining very calm.

At this moment, Zhang Shaoda lowered the driver's side window and looked at the person blocking the road with a dark expression.

"Excuse me, how far is it to Shenzhen?"

As the weather got hotter, they didn't want to waste any more time on the road, so they chose to take the highway, a direct route to Yaoshan.

It's a distance of 200 kilometers, and if you're fast, you can get there in three hours.

If all goes well, they plan to finish collecting the herbs and return before nightfall tomorrow.

Of course, this is on the premise that there are still normal medicinal herbs on the medicinal mountain.

"Step aside!"

Zhang Shaoda did not answer the other party's question, but coldly uttered these two words.

Two young girls were blocking the car, while a woman who looked to be in her thirties approached to ask for directions. Additionally, three other people, all women, were standing on the adjacent highway.

They were dressed neatly and cleanly, and didn't look like they hadn't been hungry for days, appearing pale and emaciated. This showed that life after the apocalypse was still okay, and they hadn't suffered much hardship.

Such people are unlikely to seek refuge with the base.

Even if you want to go, there's no need to stop their car.

This highway goes directly to Shenzhen. Didn't you know that before you set off?

"handsome guy."

"I say it again, get out of here!"

Zhang Shaoda's patience had reached its limit. Jiang Qi, sitting in the back seat, rolled his eyes and then whispered something in Lin Zhe's ear.

Lin Zhe nodded, then quietly rolled down the car window halfway. Then, there were two very faint crackling sounds, and then the two young women blocking the road suddenly started shaking violently several times as if they had a seizure.

After they shook themselves, both of their heads turned completely black, their hair became charred, and their faces turned pitch black.

Not only the two of them, but also the women who wanted to get close to Zhang Shaoda and talk to him did so.

good night!
