Chapter 144 - 144: 144 A Pillar
Xiao Chang’an happily poked his head out of the car window, swinging his chubby little hands. “Grandpa Feng, I’m back! My uncle and Aunt Fu are here with me!”
Seeing Ji Zan, Professor Feng suddenly regained his energy. It was as if belief itself surged through him. He got up from the ground, determined, and declared, “We’ll fight on! Humanity will never be defeated!” But as he stood up with a determined posture, he looked around and found nothing suitable to wield. There wasn’t much to work with in the first place, and the few remaining rocks had already been thrown down to fend off the zombies. To save face and alleviate the awkward atmosohere. he chose to use his abilitv to Dull Xiao Chang’an into his arms.
Xiao Chang’an wrapped his arms around Professor Feng’s neck, giggling heartily. The little guy was quite accustomed to these situations and found being pulled around rather enjoyable. In an apocalyptic world without playmates, this was more fun than toys.
Ji Zan had already parked the car and swiftly jumped out, seizing a zombie by the head and delivering a powerful blow. He preferred using his fists over his abilities, especially in this stifling apocalyptic world. The physical release helped ease his pent-up frustration.
Shui Linger and Wei Xinyi had run up to the front of the car, shouting excitedly, “Fu Sis! You’re alright, that’s fantastic…”
Fu Shinan hopped out of the car and embraced both of them. “I’m fine, and you all seem to be alright too.”
Shui Linger’s eyes welled up with tears as she said, “We’ve been looking after each other, but we’ve run out of food and water. We couldn’t have lasted much longer. I thought I’d never see you again…”
“I felt the same way…” Wei Xinyi held onto Fu Shinan tightly. Seeing Fu Shinan was like a ray of hope, reminding her that there was still a chance for survival.
Man Yu, standing behind them with her hands on her hips, called out, “Hey, you two, can you leave a spot for me? Let me hug our ice-cold but surviving charming doctor.”
Fu Shinan released the two and walked over to Man Yu, smiling. “Great writer, you seem to be in good spirits, still full of energy and yelling.”
Man Yu raised her tiny fists and playfully punched Fu Shinan’s chest. “You devil, are you too excited to be with the handsome guy that you’ve forgotten about me? We’ve all been worried about you, you know.”
“If I forgot about you, I wouldn’t have come back! Do you have any idea how much effort it took to return? This gust of wind blew me several dozen miles away!” Fu Shinan exclaimed, then called out to the people in the car, “Fu Gui, Nana, you two should come down and meet everyone.”
Soon, a slender hand pushed open the car door. Following that, a golden figure leaped down from the car.
Man Yu’s attention was immediately drawn to Fu Gui. “Where did you find this big dog? It’s quite sizable. If we decide to stew some dog meat, it could provide us with food for at least two days, right?”
Fu Gui, as if understanding Man Yu’s words, started barking and wagging his tail.
Wei Xin Yi couldn’t help but chuckle. “This big golden retriever is quite amusing.”
Fu Shinan then remembered that Wei Xin Yi had the ability to communicate with animals and asked, “What’s Fu Gui saying?”
Wei Xin Yi glanced at Man Yu and couldn’t hold back her laughter. She replied,
“He’s saying, ‘You, little lady, dare to eat your big brother Fu Gui?”‘
Man Yu immediately put her hands on her hips, pointed at Fu Gui, and said, “Oh, a dog that’s not big dares to call me a little lady? Or even claims to be a big brother? I’m your aunt! Come on, call me Aunt, and I won’t eat you. Otherwise, tonight you might end up as a stew or a braised dish.”
While the women chatted, Ji Zan and the others had nearly dealt with the zombies.
With Ji Zan joining them, MO Cheng and Sun Han regained their confidence. Having a leader made a significant difference, and they were enthusiastic about using their abilities.
The zombies seemed to realize their strength and a few of them fled. It was clear that the zombies’ intelligence was increasing, as they now understood when to retreat. Nobody Imew to what extent the zombies would continue to evolve.
Ji Zan took a deep breath and approached Professor Feng, asking, “Are you okay?”
