Abnormal survival in the end times

Chapter 305 Looking for Death
Zhou Huai'an did not stay overnight, and he did not go to the hospital again in the following days.

As for Jiang Qi and Lin Zhe, he had never paid attention to them before they beat him up. After all, Pengcheng is a small place, and people like them, who have no connection, would not care about each other.

But now I don't even have the right to care.

The head of the Zhou family called Zhou Huai'an over and gave him a severe scolding, emphasizing that he should not provoke Jiang Qi!

If he finds out about these underhanded tactics again, then he should just leave and stop being a member of the Zhou family.

Don't try to take Xu You back anymore. Since you gave up on her before, don't even think about taking her back now that she has superpowers.

No one is a fool.

Especially since her biological father, Xu Bo, is no pushover either.

Eleven years into the apocalypse, Zhou Huai'an has managed to survive until now. Regardless of his character and magnanimity, he at least has some self-awareness.

Moreover, the reason he was able to gain a foothold in the Zhou family so quickly after arriving in Kyoto was not only because of his own metal-type superpower, but also because of the most important factor: obedience!

The matter had just been discussed in the morning when, in the afternoon, the head of the Zhou family summoned him again with an angry expression.

"Someone from the Huang family came and said that Huang Lao Er has taken a fancy to Xu You and wants us to keep her and marry her into the Huang family. I had someone investigate. Do you know who gave Huang Lao Er this idea?"

Zhou Huai'an's heart skipped a beat. He wasn't entirely unaware that his own son had a few "close" friends. He also had some idea what kind of person the second son of the Huang family was.

I knew he was keeping an eye on Xu You and had something up his sleeve, but I never expected that this was his real intention.

“Zhou Ziang is your son, you should figure out how to handle this yourself.”

If it weren't for the fact that his cousin only had one son, he would have sent him out of Kyoto no matter what.

You really don't know until you look it up, and what you find is shocking.

While Huang's second son's infamous reputation is undoubtedly related to his own actions, many of his deeds were actually orchestrated by Zhou Zi'ang.

The son of an inconspicuous craft shop owner in the market had his hands chopped off, the daughter of a general store owner had her ears cut off, and the wife of a second-hand clothing shop owner was disfigured. One by one, these incidents seemed to be attributed to Huang Lao Er, but in reality, it was Zhou Zi'ang who did all of these things.

Why did no one report it to the police or expose it?

Because the Huang family covered it all up. After all, Huang Lao Er had such a reputation, and Zhou Ziang looked so weak and innocent next to him. Anyone who saw this would think that the child was coerced into joining his group.

Even the Huang family didn't think much of it, assuming that Huang Lao Er was the mastermind, so they quickly appeased and threatened the victim to settle things.

But in just two hours today, the whole truth has come to light. The head of the Zhou family would not believe there was no one behind it, and he immediately guessed who that person was.

But it was all too late.

Ugh.
The head of the Zhou family sighed and said to Zhou Huai'an, "The Huang family should get the news soon. They are different from us. Huang Lao Er is the old master Huang's own grandson. His ruthless older brother has always doted on this younger brother the most. So, if you don't want Zhou Zi'ang to fall into the hands of the Huang family, you have to send him away as soon as possible."

Send away?

Where to send it?

Zhou Huai'an's temples throbbed with anger. He had only come to Kyoto and sought refuge with his family; he had no connections outside of Kyoto.

He looked pleadingly at his cousin, "Please think of a way, I don't know where to hide him."

Even though he knew his son had grown to an unbelievable and terrifying degree, he still couldn't bear to give him up.

The head of the Zhou family glared at him with exasperation, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes, and said, "Fine, since you want to hand him over to me, then don't ask where I send him."

But what Zhou Huai'an didn't expect was that when he left the Zhou family's old house and took his cousin's men to the hospital to find Zhou Zi'ang, the man was nowhere to be found.

The Zhou family was in turmoil, but the military academy remained as calm as ever.

Since returning from shopping that day, Jiang Qi and the others have not gone out alone except for team drills.

Xu You also seemed to have forgotten about Chen Ju and Zhou Huai'an's family of three, and focused on training and studying.

Two months passed in the blink of an eye, and the training in Kyoto was coming to an end. The 'Miracle' team was about to return to Shenzhen.

If we're talking about who's most reluctant to see them leave, it has to be the Zhu siblings.

Aside from regular studies and training, Zhu Shen and Zhu Zhu were the two people who went to the 'Miracle' team the most frequently.

In Kyoto, the Huang and Zhou families are locked in a bitter feud. The Zhou teacher, who works at the school, has been cheated on by his wife, and the vice dean's dog has awakened a superpower. The Zhu siblings rush over to tell the 'Miracle' team all the gossip they know.

However, it is said that Zhou Ziang disappeared after going missing in the hospital and has not been found since.

The Zhou and Huang families mobilized their connections and conducted a thorough search of Kyoto three times, but he seemed to have vanished into thin air.

Of course, it's also possible that they left Kyoto; after all, a menace like them wouldn't die so easily.

But none of this concerns them anymore.

Because they are leaving Kyoto tomorrow to return to Shenzhen.

"Oh, finally we can go back."

"What's wrong? Is our Kyoto not good enough? You miss your Pengcheng that much?"

"Isn't that obvious? Everything here is ridiculously expensive, nothing is as affordable as where we are."

"for example?"

"Toilet paper, we used to buy four packs for one cent, but now it's two cents for one pack."

Although military academies provide meals and accommodation, consumable items like paper have to be purchased by the students themselves.

The Kyoto student's eyes widened and he exclaimed, "What? You can buy four packs for one cent? Are they mini packs?"

"What mini bag? It's the same size as yours, okay?"

"Then why."

"Are you stupid? Don't you know the paper mill is located in Pengcheng?"

After three months of getting to know each other, the group of young people, who were not much different in age, had become close friends, as long as they didn't have particularly strange personalities or unsociable temperaments.

Before parting, everyone packed their things while chatting about trivial, pointless things.

"Hey, if Brother Qi and Sister Xiao get married, remember to let us know. We've known each other for a while, so we should at least go and have a drink at their wedding."

"That's right, and don't forget about us, Brother Zhe and Sister You."

Young people always have so much energy. They just spent the whole day practicing in the field yesterday, and today they were supposed to rest for a day and go back to Shenzhen tomorrow.

But Jiang Qi and his group couldn't wait any longer.

He hasn't seen Jiang Xiaobai for three months and misses him terribly.

So I submitted my application early this morning, no rest, let's set off today. We left quickly, with only personal belongings, souvenirs I bought here to take back as gifts, and food that Zeng Tong prepared for the journey.

The trunks of the three cars were completely full.

After a reluctant farewell for another ten minutes, Jiang Qi and his group finally started the car and embarked on their journey home under the watchful eyes of everyone.

"call!"

After the car had driven a hundred meters, Jiang Qi let out a heavy sigh of relief and said goodbye to his elders, friends, and comrades-in-arms one by one. This job was really not easy; it felt even more tiring than two days of training.

The main reason is that his father's comrades-in-arms have always treated him very well, and now that he's going back, he has to politely say hello to them.

He anticipated that someone like Aunt Zeng would want to invite him to dinner before he left, which is why he had to leave in a hurry to avoid the meal.

Of course, the reason given was that Jiang Xiaobai missed him, and if he didn't hurry back, the little girl would probably go on a hunger strike.

Jiang Xiaobai, who had actually gained five pounds, was currently hiding in a mountain valley, waiting to eat the sweet potatoes that Xiao Lan had roasted for her.

Two hours later, Jiang Qi and his group, who had already traveled more than 100 kilometers away from Kyoto, stopped their car.

Jiang Qi sat in the passenger seat of the first car, driven by one of his team's earth-type ability users. Behind him sat an auditory ability user.

"Brother Qi, there are at least eight people hiding."

Jiang Qi narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the boy standing in the middle of the road, his face pale to the point of being sickly.

They disappeared for two months just to ambush them on their way back?
No, is this kid sick?

"Tingyue, go ask him what he's up to."

The man named Tingyue was a speed-based ability user. He got out of the car to check, and he could run fast even if something happened.

Ting Yue was a head taller than Zhou Ziang. He walked to about five meters in front of him, looking down at him. Just as he was about to ask what he wanted, Zhou Ziang spoke first, "I want to see Xu You. Don't worry, I'll just say a few words to her. I won't hurt her."

Xu You and Song Xiaoxiao, along with two other girls, sat together in the middle car. Of course, it wasn't a matter of which car they were in; it was that they couldn't let Zhou Ziang see her.

And then he said two more words, what did he say? Talk about the deep bond between siblings?
Don't be ridiculous. Eleven years ago, they were eight and six years old, and they only had a less-than-friendly six months together. You're saying you have a good relationship with Xu You, your stepsister?
I don’t even believe it!

Therefore, Tingyue flatly refused and told him to get lost, or they would not be polite.

Because of Jiang Qi's instructions, Ting Yue did not act rashly, even though he really wanted to.

This guy in front of me is such a good actor, damn it, he's even more of a green tea bitch than a woman.

Fortunately, the kid didn't insist anymore. After being rudely rejected by Tingyue, he actually stood on the side of the road and obediently moved aside.

that's it?
Jiang Qi told his companions to continue forward, while he carefully observed Zhou Ziang's every move.

I heard that before he disappeared from the hospital, he had just had surgery on his broken leg two days prior, and it was still in a cast when he ran away.

But now he walks normally, and his broken leg is recovering quite well.

Of course, for a growing teenager, two months is indeed enough time for his leg to fully recover. But that's assuming there's adequate medical equipment and a comfortable living environment.

What about him?
Can you recover during the escape?

Originally, what happened to this guy was none of their business, but he just had to court death and block their way back.

As the car passed Zhou Ziang, Jiang Qi glanced at him indifferently, then silently extended five black daggers forward from the half-open side window.

Then, as the car in the middle was about to pass by Zhou Ziang, he suddenly stared straight at the rear window and whispered two words: "Sister!"

Bang!
Just as Zhou Ziang opened his mouth to shout, a huge rock suddenly fell from the sky and smashed down on his head.

Zhou Ziang dodged to the side, and the boulder crashed onto the asphalt road where he had been standing, making a loud noise.

He dodged too quickly; it would be absolutely impossible for an ordinary person like him to do that.

Zhou Zi'ang concealed it; he concealed his special ability.

But in the instant he dodged, an electric fence swept over him with lightning speed.

At the same time, the boulder that had just crashed to the ground changed direction and lunged at him.

Caught between two attacks, Zhou Ziang tried to dodge to the left, but an ice wall suddenly appeared on his left. When his arm touched it, a bone-chilling cold instantly spread throughout his body.

Without hesitation, Zhou Ziang turned and ran to the right, but unfortunately, an ice wall also appeared on the right.

Suddenly, a fire axe shot out from the side and slashed at the ice wall that had just appeared to his right.

With a crisp 'crack', a crack appeared in the ice wall and quickly spread outwards. Then, with a whoosh, the ice wall shattered, and ice chunks scattered all over the ground.

Without hesitation, Zhou Ziang stepped onto the ice and started to run. But his foot suddenly slipped, and despite his quick pace, he stumbled and fell forward.

He is indeed a speed-type ability user, but he is an untrained ability user who is only slightly better than an ordinary person.

This is the consequence of him hiding his superpowers; no one trained or nurtured him!

Taking advantage of the moment when Zhou Ziang stumbled and was about to fall, Xu You manipulated the boulder to smash it down on him.

With a loud thud, the boulder struck Zhou Ziang squarely and perfectly on the back, causing him to fall to the ground with a thud.

"what"

"Help."

The sound didn't come from Zhou Ziang, who was lying in a pool of blood, but from a small grove of trees diagonally in front of him.

There were originally nine people hiding there, but after Jiang Qi slashed wildly with his dagger, several of them were injured. Two of them couldn't help but cry out.

However, Zhou Ziang could no longer hear his companion's cries for help, because he was trapped under Xu You's boulder and his head was completely covered by the electric fence.

After all three cars had left and their rear ends were completely out of sight, the group that had been hiding in the woods, intending to attack Jiang Qi and his group with their homemade flammable fireballs, cautiously helped each other out of the woods.

However, when they came out and saw the mass of flesh and blood lying on the roadside, they were all stunned.

This is Boss Zhou, who led them out to start their own business.

Where is his head?

Chopping the grass does not remove the roots, but the spring breeze blows and regenerates.

Although she used to be gentle and mild-mannered, after following Jiang Qi and the others for so many years, Xu You had long understood that her soft heart was the catalyst that led to her early death.

She originally didn't take Zhou Ziang seriously and planned to let him go after he bullied her when he was six years old.

But to her surprise, he was persistent and came looking for her on his own initiative.

Well then, I'm sorry, since you don't want your life, I'll take it!
Two days later, at dawn, a male corpse was found at the south gate of Kyoto, his head blown apart and his back mangled with blood.
