Chapter 677: Chapter 677 Xia Tian, Xia Xue_1

"Really!? Where is she?" You suddenly look up, eyes burning with intensity as you gaze at the aloof beauty.

Honestly, you hadn’t paid much attention just now, but on closer inspection, this aloof beauty resembles Xian Qianling by about seventy percent!

You really didn’t expect to encounter this crazy woman inside the array barrier!

"I can tell you, but I have a condition."

You frown, staring straight back at the aloof beauty, "I’ll agree to any condition, but, I hope you’re not playing me. Otherwise, you should be clear about the consequences!"

The aloof beauty stares right back at you, her coldness like frost. In the focused attention at such proximity, she possesses a captivating beauty. Unlike a feigned arrogance, her coldness comes from within, devoid of any pretense.

"That night, I saw someone on top of a departing truck. She was dressed like the zombie outside, but as to whether it’s her, that’s for you to decide." The aloof beauty was smart; with that statement, she had almost completely shifted responsibility onto you. Even if the person found wasn’t Hu Jing, it had nothing to do with the aloof beauty.

You nod without a second thought, having searched the surrounding area to no avail. The only explanation was that Hu Jing had been taken away. According to what the aloof beauty said, it must be the case.

"Where did that truck go?"

"West, I don’t know exactly where."

"Sister, I found the stuff."

Just then, Flat Top Head approaches carrying a large box. Looking at you, he asks, "Tough Man, are you coming with us? To be honest, we didn’t come back especially to ask you to join us. It’s just that we’re short on people, and the zombies outside are getting stronger. We have to break through or we’ll definitely die here!"

"Do you have a way to find her?" You naturally understand the severity of the situation. A single T2 had put you in grave danger; facing two would only leave escape as an option, and three would mean sitting down to be eaten.

"I’ve seen that truck before; it’s a delivery vehicle from the Qingshan Lake trip company."

"Qingshan Lake?" You evidently haven’t heard of this place.

"Oh, that’s a reservoir. It’s about a twenty-minute drive west from here under normal circumstances, but not now. Whether it’s the highway or provincial roads, they’re jammed with cars. The only option we have is those deserted rural roads." After saying this, Flat Top Head carries the big box toward the off-road vehicle. The aloof beauty also turns to leave.

You remain silent for a moment, then open the door of the "Raptor" pickup truck. After intense friction over the corpses of giant zombies, you drive out of the factory gate.

Unfamiliar with the road, you follow behind. Although you encounter a few zombies on the road, they pose no threat before the massive truck.

Driver Old Yang is very familiar with the local terrain. He takes you straight into the West Wetland.

Though West Wetland is a scenic area known at home and abroad, it’s crisscrossed with waterways where boats are the main mode of transport, so there’s no traffic jam like on the roads.

Furthermore, after entering West Wetland, Old Yang doesn’t take the small paths. Instead, the George Patton off-road vehicle’s resilient front clears the way, ramming through small trees and shrubs that block the path. Your Raptor has a high frame and tires with strong grip resistant to punctures. You don’t encounter a single zombie along the way, allowing you to enjoy the surrounding scenery freely.

West Creek Wetland, known as the kidney of Yuhang, is stunningly beautiful with lush trees and a palette of green and blue.

Compared to the outside world overrun with zombies, this place is virtually paradise.

After meandering through the West Wetland for nearly two hours, you finally follow the lead vehicle onto a smooth road. Soon after, the vehicle stops in front of a resort hotel not far ahead. Later, you see the aloof beauty stepping out of the vehicle with Weiwei. Weiwei’s face shows signs of anxiety and a hint of feverish color, while the aloof beauty appears impatient.

The aloof beauty enters the resort hotel with Weiwei, followed by two men with guns. Dressed in military uniforms, you realize that the aloof woman and her party might be military personnel.

This place is a high-end resort, usually not very populated. When the zombie virus outbreak occurred, they probably evacuated, leaving the surrounding area deserted, without even the sight of a wandering zombie.

"Got any food?"

Flat Top Head jumps down from the off-road vehicle and knocks on your window. You, out of habit, keep your doors locked tight, preventing Flat Top Head from getting in. Also, from this angle, he can’t see Flat Top Head as the vehicle is quite high.

Rolling down the window, you tell the Flat Top Head outside, "Nothing. But I suggest we look inside for something to eat; I haven’t had a meal in several turns."

On saying this, your stomach quite naturally responds with a "gurgle."

Stepping out of the vehicle, you and Flat Top Head walk together towards the entrance of the resort hotel, which is decorated in an antique style, resembling an otherworldly paradise.

"By the way, I don’t know your name yet?" Flat Top Head asks just before you push open the glass doors of the hotel.

"Li Muyun, what about you?" You’ve got a good impression of Flat Top Head.

"My name is Xia Tian, and my sister’s name is Xia Xue. Our names are somewhat unique, right?" Xia Tian probably uses that line often when meeting new people.

"Your sister’s name is nice; yours is just average."

At this moment, you can’t resist teasing Xia Tian.

As you speak, the two of you have already arrived at the front desk of the lobby, surrounded by opulent decorations. Yet to your left at the reception desk, a most revolting scene unfolds.

A female zombie, dressed in work attire, is gnawing at a man’s lower body. The man, lying naked and bald, has a corpulent and tender-looking body, which suggests that he was wealthy in life.

"Damn, that chick’s got some heavy tastes," Xia Tian comments, looking a bit speechless. Quickly drawing a pistol from his waistband, he fires without aiming — the gun fitted with a silencer.

The female zombie is hit in the head and collapses immediately.

"Nice shooting," you remark.

"Not bad, I suppose," Xia Tian replies modestly, a bit pleased with himself.

"But, do you have enough bullets?" you ask as you unsheathe your knife, cutting off the head of the middle-aged man being devoured.

"We’ve still got some bullets for the pistol. It’s just that we don’t have powerful, destructive weapons. It would be troublesome if we ran into another T2," Xia Tian says as you both move through the lobby, following signs to the dining area.
