Chapter 662: Chapter 662 Are You That Easily Satisfied_1

Hu Jing cried for a while, and that seemed to calm her emotions. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and took a deep breath. Having escaped death, she felt that simply being alive was the most wonderful thing.

"I’ll drive, you rest for a bit."

"No, I’ll do it!"

Hu Jing was strong-willed too; determination quickly surfaced on her delicate and beautiful face. The SUV started once more, and according to the GPS, the gas station was only two kilometers away. Before long, the gas station was in sight, but unexpectedly, it was packed with cars, and the road ahead was blocked by various sedans. Among them roamed about a dozen zombies, who began to surround the SUV as it came to a stop.

"Damn it!" Just as Hu Jing was about to turn the car around, you had already gotten out of the vehicle.

"Get back in here!" Hu Jing shouted at you anxiously.

"It’s okay, I should be able to handle them!"

You didn’t know where the courage came from, but you shouted and charged with your knife raised.

Your swings were not fast, but they were accurate!

Although you claimed that dealing with zombies was a piece of cake, at first, you were still not quite accustomed to the feeling of killing.

However, compared to before, you hesitated less and acted more decisively and resolutely.

Using the cars as obstacles, you easily took down the less agile zombies, quickly stabbing and slashing from behind them!

As the number of zombies you killed increased, your swings became smoother and more proficient.

For you, killing zombies became increasingly instinctive and easier.

Eventually, you became numb, your heart no longer burdened with negative emotions from slaughtering these undead.

But from Hu Jing’s perspective in the SUV, it was a different scene altogether. To her, you were surrounded by danger, often dodging at the last moment when almost encircled by the zombies, and then delivering a fatal blow from behind.

Seeing your increasingly manly valor, Hu Jing’s eyes curved into crescent moons, her smile blooming like flowers, enchanting, and radiant with allure.

After you killed all the zombies, you were utterly exhausted. Though they might not seem numerous, fighting zombies was definitely demanding physically.

You had to dodge in time, move swiftly, and learn to flee and ambush. Everyone knew the zombies’ only weak point was their brain, and you aimed precisely for their heads. After the battle, even the Ring Head Knife in your hand seemed a bit dull. After all, human bones are hard; this was not a game, and what you held was no Divine Artifact capable of slicing through iron as if it were mud.

At first, you didn’t notice, but after the fight, you felt some changes in your body.

Even though your Sen Luo Eye had not opened, the sharpness of your vision and the functions of your body had greatly improved.

Even though you knew this must be from the strawberries you unintentionally consumed in the monastery yesterday, you didn’t investigate further. After all, in this array barrier, whatever happened had no real consequence on your physical body.

You simply sat on the roof of a car to rest, and at this point, Hu Jing also got out of the vehicle. She cautiously approached a zombie wearing a gas station uniform, hesitating.

"What’s wrong?" you asked, not understanding.

"He must have a gas card on him; otherwise, we won’t be able to refuel."

"That’s easy, I’ll look for it."

"No!" Hu Jing hurried to stop you, "Just sit and rest. If I’m too scared to even do this, I’ll only be a burden in the future."

Hu Jing was strong-willed; otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to attend university without any sponsor, and still managed to receive scholarships every year.

Trying to control her trembling hands, Hu Jing nervously reached her slender jade hand into the pocket on the chest of the zombie, but after searching, she didn’t find the gas card.

But she didn’t give up, continuing to search through the zombie’s pockets. In her struggle to find the gas card, she even went to the lengths of flipping the zombie over, finally finding the card in its back pocket.

After positioning the SUV in an appropriate spot, Hu Jing began refilling the fuel, while you walked into the convenience store with the Ring Head Knife in hand.

After scouring the place thoroughly, both of you finally returned with a full load. You also found a uniform for Hu Jing, and she looked rather fetching in the gas station attire.

"This food and water will be enough for the both of us for some time." You looked at the slowly filling trunk with food and water, smiling happily.

"Are you that easily satisfied?" Hu Jing glanced at you.

"It’s not about being easily satisfied, but finding joy amidst hardship. Don’t be fooled by my seemingly jovial exterior, I’m actually anxious inside."

"What are you anxious about?"

Sensing your thoughts, Hu Jing’s expression, which had been relatively relaxed, began to grow slightly heavy.

"Of course, it’s about Zhao’er. I have no idea where she could be?"

After a moment of silence, Hu Jing sneered coldly, bowing her head without speaking further.

Feeling the tense atmosphere, you tried to start a conversation, "How about you? Do you have any plans?"

In truth, you were somewhat aware that Hu Jing only showed her ambivalent side in front of you from time to time because she needed you. After all, you could fight; at least you could protect her. If you happened to meet other survivors, things might change.

"Me? Just taking it one step at a time," Hu Jing shrugged her shoulders.

"I knew you’d say that." You mimicked her shrug.

The two of you drove towards Lingxi Tunnel, each with your own thoughts.

The closer the car got to Lingxi Tunnel, the more zombies appeared nearby, and Hu Jing’s hands on the steering wheel began to tremble more and more.

You said nothing, just looked around with a heavy expression.

After driving a little further, you suddenly felt that the journey had been too smooth. Although you had encountered quite a few zombies along the way, they were scattered in small groups, with gaps between them. They roared symbolically at the sight of the car but didn’t wildly chase after it.

"Do you feel it’s been too smooth for us?"

At your words, Hu Jing’s brows also furrowed, "Do you mean to say it seems like someone intentionally cleared this path for us, only to wait for us at the end?"

"Uh, there shouldn’t be such a person, right? And it’s even less likely to be the zombies," you said with a forced laugh.

After that, neither of you spoke again.

You just felt an increasing heaviness in your heart, and Hu Jing’s brow creased ever tighter. When you were only about a hundred meters from Lingxi Tunnel, you let out a long sigh, and Hu Jing slammed the steering wheel in frustration because the road ahead was blocked by vehicles, and there was an extensive horde of zombies!
