Chapter 99: People with short-sightedness are doomed to go nowhere in the end times
After much persuasion, the first night in Yuzhen was finally spent safely.
Mu Xin and the others found some wet wipes from the trunk and wiped their faces, then rinsed their mouths with military mouthwash.
When traveling, everything naturally has to be kept simple. After all, they are on a mission, not traveling.
Everyone ate some dry food as breakfast. Just as they packed up and were about to drive on the road to continue looking for zombies, Yan Shaohui's expression suddenly changed.
"and many more!"
Mu Xin and the others all looked at Yan Shaohui, all of them were a little confused.
Yan Shaohui moved his ears, then looked towards an empty space in the distance, "Someone is coming."
Yan Shaohui's martial arts skills are superior to everyone else's, so naturally his hearing is also extraordinary. Any movement within ten miles will not escape his ears.
Mu Xin walked to Yan Shaohui's side and followed his gaze to the place Yan Shaohui pointed.
Sure enough, two or three minutes later, the originally quiet place suddenly became dusty, the sound of engines was incessant, the birds on the telephone poles not far away were startled and flew away, and then several cars gradually appeared in the dust.
After the dust settled, people got off the front car. One of them was someone Mu Xin was very familiar with. It was Wang Jia, who had a grudge against him.
Mu Xin frowned, "Why is he here suddenly?" He brought so many people with him, at least fifteen people in four cars.
"People from City C?" Hui Ge asked with a raised eyebrow.
"This man is Ming Xiche's subordinate, but...why did he come here suddenly?"
Yan Shaohui signaled them to keep quiet, then made a few gestures to ask them to stay put. He then walked forward with Mu Xin and the skilled Hui Ge, and stopped about thirty meters away from them, using an old car as a cover to eavesdrop on the conversation between Wang Jia and the others.
Wang Jia patted the dust off his clothes, then held a cigarette in his mouth and looked around at the desolate place, "I really don't know why the boss asked us to come to this place."
A young boy handed a bottle of mineral water to Wang Jia, "Brother Wang, have you forgotten? Captain Ming asked us to come here because of the crystal cores in the zombies' brains."
"What's the use of that broken stone?" Wang Jia spat lightly, behaving in a very rude manner.
"It's what Dr. Xiahou needs."
"The boss is out of his mind. He actually obeyed the orders of that lousy doctor! If I were the boss, I would have shot that man to death a long time ago. He actually gave away 700,000 bags of food to City B for nothing! That's food! He just gave it to others like that!"
Wang Jia felt a pang of pain when he thought of this. This amount of food was enough to feed all the people in City C for two years, but they actually gave away so much food just for Xiahou Yunjie and his people!
Mu Xin shook his head in his heart. Wang Jia really hadn't made any progress at all. He was still so stupid.
Xiahou Yunjie's value is enormous. The countless research results in his mind are enough to make Ming Xiche pay such a high price to get him back.
Moreover, if Xiahou Yunjie could develop antibodies to the zombie virus in the future, as long as he raised the price and sold it, what would 700,000 bags of food mean? Wouldn't 7 million bags of food be easy to come by?
This Wang Jia is still too short-sighted. People with short-sightedness are doomed to not go far in the last days.
Mu Xin was thinking secretly when the people on Wang Jia's side spoke again.
"But Brother Wang, you are really awesome. You knocked down those zombies in just a few moves." One of them was very impressed with Wang Jia, as if he had met a great person.
"Of course!" Wang Jia snorted, looking proud.
The baby-faced guy suddenly said, "How about you show us your skills again, Brother Wang?"
"Haha, what's so difficult about that?"
Wang Jia raised his hand casually, and then several spikes over one meter high suddenly emerged from the ground.
Everyone applauded.
The expressions of Yan Shaohui and the others who were watching from a distance were very strange.
"When did this Wang Jia acquire super powers?" Mu Xin's expression was one of indescribable surprise.
Although Wang Jia's ability level is only C, it is still rare in this era when people with special abilities are not yet common.
Mu Xin remembered that in his previous life, Wang Jia's supernatural power was not activated at this time. Could it be the butterfly effect? Could the wings of his butterfly be so big that they could change the fate of these people?
"And it's earth-type." Yan Shaohui continued, his expression very gloomy. Ming Xiche's ability could be explained, after all, he had been scratched by a zombie before. But what about this Wang Jia?
Gray Pigeon looked at Wang Jia and others with a complicated expression, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Wang Jia and the others naturally had no idea what Yan Shaohui and Mu Xin were thinking, and they were still chatting and showing off their abilities.
Wang Jia had a very smug look on his face, thinking in his heart: This is all thanks to the potion that the boss gave me, which allowed me to gain such magical power as quickly as possible.
However, he had asked what the potion was, but Ming Xiche did not tell him. Wang Jia was puzzled, but he did not ask any more questions.
"Feng Xichang, Fang Muyu, I remember that you two also have superpowers. Come on, open their eyes!"
The two people named by Wang Jia opened their hands respectively. A bunch of vines appeared in the hand of one of them, and a stream of water appeared in the hand of the other.
"It seems that three of their people have special abilities."
“But the levels are all very low. The highest is Wang Jia, C level.” Mu Xin said coldly.
They listened for a while longer, then quietly returned to where the team was.
The usually silent Shalai was the first to see them coming back, and he rarely spoke: "What did you find?"
Mu Xin gave a brief account, and then there was silence.
After a long time, Song Ziwen touched his chin and said, "Do you think it is possible that the reason why we can't find the zombies is that we were killed by these people?"
"But there will always be traces if you kill someone, right?" Deng Miao disagreed.
Mu Xin nodded. "Since Wang Jia and his team came for the crystal core, they must have not left yet because they haven't found the core yet. So it's unlikely that they can strangle all the zombies. Besides, although there are three psychics in their team, they don't look very skilled. It's probably because their psychics have just been activated. It's definitely like an egg hitting a rock for these twenty or so people to deal with thousands of zombies."
"So what are we going to do now?"
Shang Junming looked at everyone, then spread out his hands and asked.
As soon as Shang Junming finished speaking, everyone fell silent again.
Just when everyone didn't know what to do, suddenly a gunshot was heard from the direction of Wang Jia and the others.
Yan Shaohui stood up suddenly, "What happened?"
Mu Xin frowned, then jumped to a slightly higher place and looked towards Wang Jia.
Wang Jia and his companions hurriedly got into the car, and then hurriedly drove off in a direction that left only a trail of shadows. It looked like they were chasing something.
"What did you see?" Yan Shaohui asked.
