Quick Transmigration: Playing the Role of a Devoted Tool

Of the three, Fang Yunyao was the quietest and didn't talk much.

After the meal, she lay down on the mat that Qi Ran had laid out.

Liao Chen, Zhong Jincheng, Li Jia, and Ye Xingye were playing cards together. Qi Ran covered Fang Yunyao with a blanket and came over to watch them play cards.

Previously, only Li Jia and Ye Xingye liked to play this game, while Qi Ran didn't. The two of them weren't very enthusiastic about it. Now, with Liao Chen and Zhong Jincheng joining them, the four of them are playing with great interest.

Only Qi Ran noticed that Fang Yunyao was not asleep.

"Aren't we disturbing her rest?" Qi Ran asked.

The group looked back at Fang Yunyao and agreed that she was right. They decided to stop playing and get some rest, as they had to continue their journey the next day.

"I'll keep watch for the first half of the night," Liao Chen said.

"It's the middle of the night," Li Jia replied.

After agreeing on the night watch arrangements, the group went to sleep one after another.

Ye Xingye pulled Qi Ran's cushion over and placed it next to his own, then hugged Qi Ran as they fell asleep.

Liao Chen, who was walking to the door, saw this scene and felt a pang of jealousy.

They really are a couple.

Liao Chen went outside. The town was pitch black at night. The house they had chosen was relatively secluded, and they could see well into the distance.

There are few zombies nearby, and even if one or two pass by, they will leave quickly, so he doesn't need to do anything.

That's why they chose to take the country roads; although the road was longer, it was safer.

In just one month since the apocalypse, everything has changed dramatically. Liao Chen even had the illusion that he had lived through a year.

He was craving a cigarette, so he took out the cigarette case from his waist, lit one, and slowly exhaled the smoke, feeling much better.

In the middle of the night, Li Jia came out to hand over the duties and saw a pile of cigarette butts at Liao Chen's feet.

"Brother Liao smokes, huh?" Li Jia laughed.

"Yeah, I used to smoke, but now it depends on luck. If I see a zombie, I smoke; if not, I just put up with it." Liao Chen told him about seeing the zombie earlier, then got up and went back to his room to rest.

Li Jia sat at the doorway, staring at the dark figures along the winding road in the distance. He could tell that those figures were zombies from the neighborhood.

As dawn broke, Qi Ran was the first to wake up.

He prepared water for everyone to wash up. By the time they finished washing up and came out, breakfast was ready: hand-pulled noodles with mushrooms and vegetables, which Liao Chen and Zhong Jincheng both loved.

Although Fang Yunyao and Ye Xingye are not big fans of noodles, they still think Qi Ran's cooking skills are quite good.

Li Jia was speechless. He had long been impressed by Qi Ran's cooking skills and was the most enthusiastic eater every day.

After finishing their meal, the group continued their journey.

They were lucky this time and didn't encounter a large horde of zombies.

At noon, Li Jia was driving. When they passed through the tunnel halfway up the mountain, the car in front of them suddenly stopped. Li Jia braked sharply and almost crashed into it.

"What happened?" Qi Ran was sitting in the passenger seat. Fortunately, she was wearing a seatbelt and was not injured.

"Don't go out, there's a problem," Ye Xingye called out to Li Jia, who was about to get out of the car.

Sure enough, a group of people emerged from the tunnel, armed with weapons, including some with superpowers; they were clearly there to rob someone.

After Liao Chen got out of the car in front, he didn't want to be polite with these people. He shot out several ice spikes, which scared the group of people into taking a step back.

Then Tsukasa Jincheng also got off the car.

The superhumans opposite thought that Tsukasa Jincheng was an ordinary person. They threw a fireball at him, but when they saw that Tsukasa Jincheng was unharmed, they realized that this group of people were not to be trifled with.

But they outnumbered the group and included some with superpowers. They weren't afraid of being outmatched and stood menacingly blocking the tunnel entrance, determined to plunder the group for valuables.

The leader, a fire-type ability user, stepped forward and said, "Hand over the supplies and we'll let you pass; otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite."

Inside the car, Fang Yunyao gripped her gun, not daring to relax. As soon as someone rushed in front of the car, she would shoot the enemy in the head.

In the car behind, Ye Xingye asked Li Jia, "There are a lot of them, and they look like villagers from nearby. I reckon they've claimed this area as their own. These people are ruthless; do you dare kill them?"

Li Jia has only killed zombies along the way, but has never killed a living person.

He understood Ye Xingye's concerns, but what kind of world is this now? He is no longer the same person he used to be.

"Yes," Li Jia said confidently. "If we don't kill them, we die."

"Then go ahead and help Liao Ge and the others." Only then did Ye Xingye feel relieved enough to let Li Jia get out of the car.

The person opposite him looked grim when he saw Li Jia come down.

"Hey! Are you going to give it to me or not?!"

"How many do you want?" Liao Chen asked.

He didn't want to kill them, as long as they genuinely needed supplies and nothing else.

"How many do you have?" The superhuman opposite him thought he had a chance and became even more arrogant: "Give us all the supplies, and your vehicles too."

"Then there's nothing to talk about." Tsukasa Jincheng sneered, bent down, picked up a stone, and threw it with a whoosh. A man's head exploded on the other side.

"Damn it!" The superhuman opposite him turned ashen-faced. "Kill them all! I want the car and the supplies! Leave this bastard alive, I want to kill him myself!"

The crowd surged forward, but Li Jia controlled a wall and instantly crushed several people to death, scaring them into not daring to approach easily.

Those with superpowers were fearless and directly attacked Liao Chen.

Zhong Jincheng infiltrated the enemy ranks, crushing one enemy with each hand, killing as easily as slicing vegetables.

Soon, the situation changed.

Someone tried to escape but was hit by a stone thrown by Zhong Jincheng, his head instantly split open, and he fell straight down.

Tsukasa Jincheng's enhanced power is enough to penetrate bulletproof glass, and he can easily crush the bodies of ordinary people.

The fire-type ability user who attacked Liao Chen first had his chest pierced by Liao Chen's ice spike.

Before he breathed his last, he was unwilling to accept his fate and tried to blow up their car. Liao Chen noticed his movement, conjured an ice blade, and cut off his hand.

The man screamed and died.

After dealing with the group, Li Jia surveyed the area and noticed something amiss.

He found the northern base's entry pass on this group of people.

Last night, Liao Chen showed Li Jia and the others what the pass looked like. It was a black card with two intertwined snakes printed on the front and the logos of the three major conglomerates on the back.

The snake's body represents the military.

Among the three major conglomerates, the Min family, which controls the medical and biochemical industries, ranks first.

The Min family has a large pharmaceutical factory at the base, which can mass-produce basic medicines such as antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs, and can also build a research team to study viruses and toxins unique to the post-apocalyptic world.

The team includes virologists and immunologists who can isolate virus strains from infected individuals, analyze mutation patterns, and develop targeted vaccines or antidotes.

Meanwhile, the core hospital of the operating base is equipped with departments such as operating rooms and ICUs to treat diseases such as trauma and infection.

In addition, the Min family will stockpile large quantities of freeze-dried blood plasma, emergency equipment, and even research auxiliary drugs to enhance human immunity, reducing the probability of residents falling ill due to the harsh post-apocalyptic environment.

Fang Yunyao was invited by the Min family to come to the northern base from afar.

She was ostracized by several colleagues at her original base and had to find another way out.

As long as she can produce useful results at the northern base, her family can also be protected, and Fang Yunyao doesn't want to give up this opportunity.
