Chapter 142: Chapter 142: No Time to Look Back

Everyone slowly walked down from the fourth floor of the hospital.

Their footsteps were brisk but not noisy. The bloody smell after the battle still remained in the corridor, but for the awakened, these smells were nothing.

Compared with the dullness and depression in the building, the world outside the hospital seemed particularly quiet.

When they stepped out of the door, it was not completely noon yet.

It had been just over an hour since they entered this hospital.

Chen Wei was originally chatting and laughing with Liang Zihan but suddenly frowned, his eyes swept across the crowd, and he stopped immediately.

"Wait a minute," he said in a slightly depressed tone, "Why does it seem like there is one person missing?"

Everyone turned their heads.

"Who?" Liang Zihan asked subconsciously.

Chen Wei stared at the end of the team with a complicated look in his eyes and said slowly, "Where is the white-haired man?"

The air suddenly stagnated for a few seconds.

Liora, who was standing at the front, was slightly shocked. Although her body did not move, her shoulders were visibly stiff for half a second.

She turned around; her expression was indifferent, but there was an inexplicable emotion in her eyes. Her voice was so light that it was almost blown away by the wind: "He... left."

Gone?

Chen Wei opened his mouth and wanted to ask, "What does "left" mean? Did he leave alone? Or disappear? Why did he leave? Who is he? —but the words came to his lips, and he swallowed them hard.

Because he suddenly remembered that Liora didn’t like him to mention that man.

If she didn’t say it, he had no right to ask.

Silence spread.

"He left quite suddenly." Liang Zihan scratched his head. Although he was puzzled, he didn’t ask.

"Indeed." Zhou Yinuo curled her lips. "He was weird to begin with."

The team was silent again. Chen Wei lowered his head and walked behind Liora, pursing his lips and not speaking. He was indeed curious about the identity of the white-haired man, but he knew that Liora’s silence now hid many things, and if he really spoke, it would only make her more unwilling.

So he was silent.

In the rest of the time, everyone only discussed some topics related to battles, awakeners, and crystal cores.

"We must become stronger." Liang Zihan said firmly, "Level 4 and Level 5 are far from enough. If we encounter the kind of guy who can control the corpse tide in the future, we will have no way out."

"Crystal core is the key." Chen Wei also nodded, "Each of us got a high-level crystal core today, why not use it to try to impact the next stage?"

"What if it fails?" Zhou Yinuo was a little worried, "The failure rate of awakening after level 6 is very high."

"But we have no choice." Liora said lightly.

Everyone was stunned and then nodded silently.

At this time, footsteps came from the corner of the stairs.

Everyone immediately became alert, and several figures gradually came into view with a familiar breath.

"It’s Ji Ming and the others." Zhou Yinuo breathed a sigh of relief.

A few seconds later, Ji Ming, Yan Lin, Zhao Ren, Mei, Yun Shou, and Shen Haoran turned out from the corner of the stairs. Although their clothes were stained with blood, they were in high spirits. They were holding bags full of crystal cores in their hands and even had some excited smiles on their faces.

"Ha—you’re coming down too!" Ji Ming waved his hand and took the lead to greet them, "We also successfully handled it over there."

"Good harvest." Yan Lin smiled and threw a dark purple crystal core to Liora, "Our team also encountered a few level 6 zombies."

"You cleared the fourth floor by yourselves?" Zhao Ren’s eyes widened, and his face was full of "this is too fierce."

Liora nodded gently without saying much.

She gently took the dark purple crystal core thrown by Yan Lin without saying much.

Zhao Ren was still sighing that they cleaned up the entire fourth floor alone, but Liora suddenly raised her eyes and looked at him, with a calm tone but a bit of rhetorical questioning: "Didn’t you do it too? Then why are you only worried about me?"

Zhao Ren was stunned for a moment and was speechless for a moment.

After a moment, he touched his nose and smiled awkwardly: "That’s not... You look too calm alone, I can’t help but think more."

Everyone laughed softly, and the atmosphere eased a lot.

In the following time, everyone briefly exchanged their own battle situations and then prepared to leave this bloody hospital. Liora took out her heavy black Hummer from the space, and the heavy metal shell glowed coldly in the sun.

Ji Ming also called out his off-road armored vehicle from the side, and the two modified heavy vehicles parked side by side at the entrance of the ruined hospital.

Everyone got in the car, eating dry food while continuing to discuss future plans.

"We are still not strong enough." Liang Zihan bit the energy bar in his mouth and said in a low voice, "If it weren’t for you, we might have been wiped out."

"The crystal core is crucial, but it’s not enough to rely on the crystal core alone." Yan Lin frowned and said, "We have to find a place that can really improve us in the long run, preferably... a zombie nest."

"This kind of place is also risky." Zhou Yinuo sighed, "But now we can only take a gamble."

"It’s all the same." Liora leaned against the car window and looked at the ruins flying outside. "If you don’t become stronger, you will die sooner or later."

Everyone was silent and then nodded in unison.

The team’s wheels slowly drove onto the broken but still passable highway. The sun fell on the car window. Everything seemed calm, as if the horror of this world was temporarily away from them.

But the calm did not last long.

Just when the convoy drove about 10 kilometers and just turned into an open section of road, a low engine roar suddenly came from the back.

Ji Ming noticed something unusual in the rearview mirror, and his face changed slightly: "There’s a military armored vehicle."

Liora sat in the co-pilot seat of the Hummer, with her cheek against the car window, looking at the military armored vehicle that was always following behind with a deep look.

The sun shone on her side face, reflecting the faint shadow under her eyelashes, and trembled almost imperceptibly.

She was silent for a long time and suddenly said, "It has been following."

Ji Ming’s hand holding the steering wheel suddenly tightened: "I know. It has not stopped since turning onto the highway."
