Unfortunately, no matter how strong he is, it's useless. If he gets bitten by a zombie, he will not only become a burden, but also a problem for everyone.
If he accidentally becomes the special agent they encountered at the gas station, then things will get really messed up.
If he wore a bulletproof vest and a helmet, he could pose an even greater threat to Dongyun and his group in a confined space.
Ishan Hua's idea was pretty good, but in reality, he would be shot in the head and killed on the spot by the nearest person.
Helmets, unless they are modern bulletproof helmets, are generally not very effective at stopping bullets. And even with bulletproof helmets, if the power of firearms and bullets is too great, it is difficult to say that they can perfectly stop direct fire at close range.
After walking for about an hour and a half, the group arrived in Hatton.
The moment they arrived in Hatton, a green notification appeared in front of the eight members of the "Survival Road" team.
[Battle: Ended After Breaking Through the Enemy's Encirclement]
[Survivors: Shinonome, Gabriel, Yamada Ryo, Shima Rin, Goto Ichiri, Kita Ikuyo, Kagamihara Nadeshiko, Iji Chi Nikka]
[Campaign Reward: Trait "Refreshing Defense" (3 days)]
Chapter 73 The Road to Survival
【Special Feature: Refreshing Defense (Limited Time Offer: 3 Days)】
[Description: A wonderfully refreshing energy envelops you, and this refreshing protective layer helps you resist the corrosive effects of odors, bacteria, viruses, spores, and other harmful gases.]
These characteristics are so familiar; it's like I've seen them somewhere before.
Wait, isn't this a mutation of Grounded?!
While inwardly complaining, Dongyun couldn't help but smile.
He had been avoiding the issue of the spores and virus protection cards turning yellow and red, but the system came to his aid again.
Great, system.
If the system were a female system, he would be willing to give himself to her.
"Wow!"
Kagamihara Nadeshiko clearly exclaimed in surprise after reading the introduction to "Refreshing Defense".
"Special ability? Clarity defense?"
Kita Ikuyo was somewhat surprised, but her eyes lit up when she saw that it could block the stench.
Great, it can block out the stench.
Does this mean she won't be able to smell the stench for the next three days, especially the blood and rotting stench of zombies and corpses?
She hadn't taken a bath since leaving the farm. Although she could use water to wash herself before abandoning the car, she only used it to wash her face and hands; she didn't wash the rest of her body.
She hadn't washed her hair for three days, and her scalp was already itchy. Her body and clothes smelled bad, not to mention her shoes and socks. If it weren't for the wet wipes she had to clean her feet, she was worried she'd get athlete's foot.
Surviving in the apocalypse is really tough.
Kita Ikuyo was feeling down. The thought that she probably wouldn't be able to wash her hair or take a shower today made her feel like dying.
Upon arriving in Hatton, the group wasted no time and quickly began clearing out zombies, scavenging supplies, and searching for vehicles.
Fearing that firing their guns would attract a horde of zombies, they sneaked into the town, carefully looting supplies and killing any zombies that noticed them. They were lest their movements attract too many zombies, potentially leading to a situation where they had to fire their guns and that some unknown pigeon zombies might hear them.
Dongyun had thought that the cricket zombies would thrive in the apocalypse, but it turned out to be like a donkey drowning.
However, their process of clearing out zombies, collecting supplies, and finding vehicles went smoothly.
There are special beings in the town, but the ones they encountered could only hop around. One special being that jumped really high landed right in front of them, and Nadeshiko immediately swatted it three meters away with a fire axe. It was just bad luck for it to run into Nadeshiko.
When looking for a car, Dongyun wanted to find a seven-seater SUV.
Since he was the only one of the eight people going to New Bath who could drive, he needed to find a car that could fit all eight people.
Although the girls are all petite, the tallest of them is only 163cm. As long as the four-seater car is big enough and the interior is spacious enough, it's not impossible for the girls to squeeze in. However, apart from the driver, it would be too uncomfortable for everyone else to squeeze into the passenger seat and the back seat.
Unfortunately, they weren't very lucky and couldn't find a seven-seater SUV, but they did find a five-seater SUV.
After looking at the interior space of the car and then at the girls, Dongyun decided to drive it.
This five-seater SUV has a spacious interior, and the rear seats connect to the trunk. As long as someone sits or lies in the trunk, eight people can squeeze into one car.
Unfortunately, they were pressed for time and didn't have much time to leisurely search for a car.
As for the uncle and his group, there were only four of them, so they just needed a car that could hold a lot of supplies and had enough trunk space. Before they could find a five-seater SUV, the uncle and his group had already found their ideal car.
After finding the car, the group drove around to a gas station on the edge of town.
They come to gas stations either to fill up their cars or to loot food, fresh water, and other supplies from the gas station's convenience store.
Although the gas station was without power, they found a generator inside. If there isn't a generator at the gas station, don't worry; they can definitely find one in the houses or shops in town. If all else fails, they can even siphon gasoline from the cars parked at the gas station.
As soon as the generator started, the band ended and opened fire without hesitation.
Dongyun and Yishanghua quickly filled up the car with gas, and after it was full, they had to part ways. And who knew if they would ever see each other again?
"Uncle, see you again someday."
As Dongyun filled up the car with gas, she looked at Yi Shanghua with a hint of envy.
If it weren't for that damned bat, they would be chatting happily right now, discussing the dangers to be careful of once they enter Kentucky, and cursing the military for bombing cities, bridges, and blocking roads before all the survivors had even evacuated.
"See you in California. You will all come to see us safe and sound, one by one. We will be waiting for you in California."
Isamu does not accept Shinonome's "see you again someday".
If we're destined to meet again, we will; if not, we will never see each other again. How can that be? We must see each other again, and then we'll see each other every day.
"it is good."
Seeing that Isamu was so firm, Dongyun went along with him and didn't say anything discouraging.
However, he remained pessimistic, knowing that his group was likely to die, and even if someone did survive, he didn't think it would be him.
If they were to encounter a crisis, and the situation were to deteriorate to the point where people would die, he would definitely stab himself to provide Xiao Jia with enough magical power so that she could lead everyone to escape.
【Trait: Blood Kin】
[Description: Increased blood palatability, improved blood quality, enhanced hematopoietic function, increased endurance, slightly improved recovery ability, and slightly improved night vision]
Shinonome opened his personal profile and looked at the description of his "Blood Kin" trait.
How to put it... this trait doesn't seem to enhance him, it seems to enhance Xiao Jia. He doesn't feel much of the increased stamina, recovery, and night vision, and the increase in stamina seems less significant than the "naturally strong" trait.
But strengthening Xiao Jia is also good. The quality of his blood affects the magic content within it. Now that the blood quality has improved, his blood-making ability has also been enhanced, allowing him to better feed Sophie, ah, no, Xiao Jia.
It's all because of the comments saying that Sophie and Xiao Jia have the same voice actor, plus Xiao Jia sucks his blood, making him really think Xiao Jia is Sophie.
The tank is full of gas.
More and more zombies were drawn in by the gunshots.
Because it was a gas station, it wasn't appropriate to use bombs or incendiary devices, which put increasing pressure on the band to end their performance.
"boarding!"
Once Dongyun saw that the gas tank was full, he immediately called everyone to get in the car.
Similarly, Eshanhua also called his wife, Charlotte, and Dalton to get in the car.
"See you in California!"
"Yeah, you brat. And all you kids, see you in California. Make sure you all come back safe and sound to see us."
After saying that, Dongyun and Yishanghua got into the car.
The two cars quickly left the town, soon parted ways at a fork in the road, and then drove off in completely different directions.
One vehicle headed towards the "safe zone," while the other headed towards the "source of the virus."
Chapter 74 The shortest in the team
A white SUV was speeding along the highway to Bath.
Eight people were crammed into a five-seater car.
However, since the girls were all very thin and not very tall, and an angel who wished to remain anonymous sat in the trunk, the five-seater car did not feel particularly crowded with eight people.
"Why am I sitting in the trunk? Am I that short?"
Gabrielle reluctantly peeked out from the back seat of the car.
She stared at the rearview mirror, looking at Dongyun's face with obvious displeasure.
“Yes, you’re short.” Dongyun looked into Gabriel’s beautiful purple eyes in the rearview mirror and smiled. “You’re the shortest in the group.”
"Nonsense, Rin-chan is the shortest, I'm 145cm!"
Gabriel glared at Dongyun, refusing to admit that she was the shortest in the group.
"Xiao Jia, you're not 144..."
Before Kagamihara Nadeshiko could finish speaking, Gabriel forcibly interrupted her.
"145, I've grown 1 centimeter, I'm 1.45 meters tall now!"
