CHAPTER 445: CHAPTER 445: LEAVING THE VILLAGE

"Mmm...a stronger power than that experienced outside the village. But there are also people inside.

I just don’t know their situation." Chu Miao replied quietly and also expressed her concern for the people inside the village.

"The array formation might not be aggressive towards them. It only attacked us when we probed, but without probing we felt nothing.

So, if those people don’t do anything like probing or attacking it, I believe that they would be safe for the time being." Jing Xian’s voice came through the device.

"I agree. But I don’t think that those people are trapped there for no reason. It is obvious that they can’t leave the village, because if they could, any normal person who hears the sound of so many vehicles going by would at least come out to check.

But those people seem to have heard nothing. Something is definitely wrong." Gu Fan, the teammate with the closest skills to Ye Xuan added his opinion as well.

At first Jun Huang and his companions were wondering what these people were talking about and just listened. But as they listened, they realized that they would have been in danger if they passed through this road alone.

When they went to City A, they had used a different route that connected to this road near the entrance of the city.

That was also why the team hadn’t met many zombies who had followed Jun Huang and his team all the way to City A.

Instead, they had seen some sporadic zombies that had wandered into this road from that intersection by mistake.

Jun Huang was now glad that they hadn’t taken this route when they came, otherwise, he wouldn’t just have lost two-thirds of the team but the entire squad.

Even though he still didn’t understand what Ye Xuan’s team was talking about, he was clever enough to understand that anyone who entered the village could not leave.

And he was also aware that while they had been chased relentlessly by zombies to the point of abandoning their vehicles, if they had discovered a village they could hide in and rest to recuperate their strength and injuries, they would have entered it to seek shelter.

In that case, they would have been trapped in that village and never made it to City A.

He was grateful for that.

Some of the clever soldiers also came to this conclusion when they heard the conversation over the comms.

The cars sped through the road without stopping and only slowed down when they reached a part of the road that was damaged or filled with debris.

Ye Xuan thought of the situation of the president and was eager to reach City C as soon as possible and thought that stopping every now and then to remove debris from the road wasted a lot of precious time.

Thus, he stopped the car and ordered Pei Ming to come to their car. They had switched positions again when they left the village.

Ye Xuan’s car was now in front again and leading everyone at an extraordinary speed.

Luckily, the cars were modified and wouldn’t get any damage even from the bad road conditions, but it slowed them down.

Pei Ming didn’t ask any questions and got out of his car to go to the front.

After getting in the back seat and closing the door, he asked, "Boss, what do you need me to do?"

He was aware that Ye Xuan wouldn’t call him there just to be a third wheel.

"Open the sunroof and use your superpower to clear the debris ahead before we get there.

You get a chance to train your superpower." Ye Xuan replied.

Without another question, Pei Ming opened the latch and stood up on the seat of the car so that half of his body was outside.

He also used spiritual power to create a thin barrier around him to prevent the wind blowing at him from affecting him as he worked.

After that, Ye Xuan started the car again and the other vehicles behind followed suit.

From that moment on, the speed of their journey increased. Pei Ming would clear the debris on the road from a distance so that by the time their vehicle got there, the road was already clean except for the large potholes that had been caused by the persistent floods before.

Nevertheless, this didn’t affect the special forces soldiers too much. They had been trained to handle all kinds of situations and they could even drive at top speed in mountainous areas let alone a flat road with potholes.

With this speed, the group entered City C earlier than anticipated. They had stopped meditating at around 8:00 am and thought that they would arrive in City C that evening, but they had made it before 2:00 in the afternoon.

"Let’s go to the base first. We can look for the people we are looking for when we are done with the president’s matter." Chu Miao suggested and Ye Xuan complied.

He knew where the base was, so he still led the way, avoiding many zombies scattered in the city and those they couldn’t avoid were incinerated without mercy.

Pei Ming was still on the roof clearing debris and now he also used wind blades to chop zombies as they zoomed by.

The others realized that the zombies they were encountering had increased and also opened the roof of their vehicles to launch long-range attacks as well.

Murong Yi would manipulate the ground where most zombies were standing, turning it soft as mush and once the zombies fell through, he would turn it hard again.

Burying them silently.

Gu Fan had a mutated fire superpower that burned hotter than ordinary fire and was difficult to put out.

Thus, he would launch small fire balls at zombies and they would turn to ashes almost instantly.

As his superpower grew stronger and advanced, the time it took to burn things also shortened. Now, a normal newly mutated zombie wouldn’t even survive five seconds before turning to ashes.
