Apocalypse: My Sweetie Is Tough but Cute -
Chapter 453 - Chapter 453 Chapter 452 A Special Sense of Familiarity
Chapter 453: Chapter 452: A Special Sense of Familiarity Chapter 453: Chapter 452: A Special Sense of Familiarity This was also Tang Zelin’s concern after watching her shoot.
When this wife of his was shooting, why did it feel so familiar?
But Tang Zelin was quite sure he had never taught her, so he was curious at the moment.
Su Shu’s explanation was simple, but Tang Zelin, considering her orphan background, nodded and accepted her explanation.
Seeing that Tang Zelin was not pursuing the matter further, Su Shu let out a sigh of relief inwardly.
She really feared that he would insist upon getting to the bottom of it right then.
She turned the gun around, offering the grip to Tang Zelin.
Tang Zelin’s eyes flashed momentarily.
Even this action had become habitual?
But he did not take it, speaking indifferently, “Keep the handgun for self-defense, you can give it to me when we get back.”
He also took off several magazines from his body and handed them to her.
Su Shu did not hesitate and took them immediately.
If danger really came, she would definitely not allow herself to become a burden to Tang Zelin.
Having addressed the most critical concern, there were no other issues left, and finally, the squad decided to head toward the main road.
After all, it would save several hours and reduce the risk of staying outside longer.
Although they were heading for the main road, their approach wasn’t entirely out in the open; they alternated between being visible and hiding, aiming to avoid major conflicts while speeding up.
Even so, they still encountered two or three small-scale conflicts along the way.
Probably the other side had not expected to encounter an armed force while wandering outside and thought that the regular troops from inside the city were on a large scale sweep.
After exchanging a few exploratory shots, they quickly ran off, probably to go back to their lair to report.
Every time this happened, after they disengaged, they would hasten their steps, and using cover or stealth, they tried their best to avoid frontal conflicts.
The lawless lands outside the city had gradually become fractured into different factions over time with the progress of the Apocalypse.
Tang Zelin’s group was not clear about the boundaries of various dark forces’ territories, but moving quickly always increased the hope of leaving sooner.
Whether they were too lucky or it was simply not their time to meet death on this road, aside from minor skirmishes, they really did not encounter a large band of marauders.
As the entrance to Pengcheng came within just a few kilometers, the faces of the team members showed their joy.
However, as unpredictable as the weather can be, less than a kilometer ahead, the road was blocked.
The essential path to enter Pengcheng was obstructed by a landslide, making it impassable.
Eleven people stood by the roadside, silent.
Tang Zelin weighed the pros and cons and promptly decided to take a detour.
To detour meant to enter the village from this spot, then to pass through the abandoned village and into the mountains, and from there, to go over to the other side of the blocked road.
The platoon leader, Zhang Dongke, thought for a moment, “Group Captain, it’s been so long, that village must be abandoned. If there are people there, they’re surely up to no good.”
His meaning was clear: this place was so dangerous, ordinary villagers certainly would not stay to continue living, so if there were people living there, they were definitely not ordinary people.
Tang Zelin of course considered this, but the problem was that besides the blocked road, they had no alternative route to take.
The roadside path, worn by countless feet, was undoubtedly the choice of many who arrived here.
It was obvious what lay ahead.
But they could not stay here for too long, or they would become even more conspicuous targets.
“Let’s take that path. Everyone, stay alert and keep concealed,” he ordered.
With the command given, the team, with no other choice, turned toward the side, onto that road traveled by many, where the safety of the path ahead was unknown.
