Chapter 356: Chapter 356: Lu Haoâs Analysis
Unfortunately, the monkey had already been incinerated by Lu Hao, so they had no way to observe it further.
After extracting the Crystal Cores in the square, Su Jin even rummaged through a hamburger shop, but there was nothing left inside. Perhaps the noise earlier had been made by that very monkey?
After they re-boarded the armored vehicle, Lu Hao did not start it immediately.
âWhatâs wrong?â
Su Jin asked as Lu Hao seemed to have something to say.
âXiao Jin, after we arrive at the base in City E, I suggest we hide our abilities appropriately,â
Lu Hao said seriously to Su Jin, especially concerning Su Jinâs Special Ability, which was too eye-catching. If possible, he did not want Su Jin to attract anyoneâs attention.
âI understand, did you think of something?â
Su Jin never doubted Lu Haoâs judgment; she was just curious.
âYes, do you all remember the Red Flame Team back in City S?â Lu Hao asked.
âOf course, remember, those thugs who wanted the Mysterious Fire Fan?â
Nie Qing responded, as he had the deepest impression of that team.
âBack then, among the weapons they had, only one was a tranquilizer gun,â
After hearing what Lu Hao said, Su Jin immediately understood his intention.
The goal of the Red Flame Team was only the Mysterious Fire Fan from the beginning. If they had only wanted the fan, they could have used weapons infected with the Zombie Virus exclusively, yet there was one tranquilizer gun among them.
That strongly suggested that while they wanted the fan, they also intended to capture some of them alive.
Furthermore, Huo Qi kept pretending to be the driver waiting on the side until the Red Flame Team was completely under control before he fled, which meant Huo Qi was waiting for an outcome.
The Mysterious Fire Fan was what the Red Flame Team wanted, and Huo Qi⊠likely aimed to capture that person?!
âRight, and what Xia Ying said, about how he was about to be taken away by Liang Jiuhui, and suddenly there were zombies around,â
Lu Hao reminded them.
âWas that also Huo Qi? He wanted to use the opportunity to help Xia Ying escape, and his goal must have been Xia Ying!â
Lin Xiuyuan said excitedly, completely not expecting that a weird monkey could help his brother-in-law piece these events together. But if thought about in this way, all these things made perfect sense!
âYes, youâve all become smarter,â
Lu Hao said approvingly, looking at Su Jin and the others who could understand everything as soon as he hinted.
âBrother-in-law, youâre really amazing, I admire you!â
Lin Xiuyuan said with starry eyes looking at Lu Hao.
Su Jin also looked at Lu Hao with great admiration. Not even the detectives in TV shows were as impressive as him.
âSpeaking seriously now, if weâre hiding our strengths, Xiao Jin, itâs best if you donât use your Special Ability,â
Lu Hao said with a smile, noticing that Su Jinâs eyes were filled with his reflection at the moment.
âAlright, once we arrive at the base in City E, Iâll just be an ordinary person who needs your protection,â
Su Jin said smiling.
âYes, and letâs keep grandma and grandpa in the Space for now, until we have a clear understanding of the situation in City E. Itâs better to be cautious,â Lu Hao continued.
Su Jin had the same intention; she had brought the elderly out to enjoy some sightseeing, not to embark on an adventure.
âWhat about me? What about me? Can I disguise myself as a Level Two Ice Element?â Lin Xiuyuan asked.
âSister Xiao Jin, you might have to pretend to be an ordinary person soon,â
Mao Qiqi suddenly said, sensing someone approaching their direction within the range of her small map.
âHow many people?â Su Jin asked.
âTwelve,â Mao Qiqi replied.
âPerfect, letâs go ask for directions,â
Nie Qing began to look out the window. Since Qiqi had mentioned those people were heading in this direction, perhaps they could flag them down when they passed by and even offer them some help with directions.
âLetâs switch vehicles,â
Su Jin suggested, now that they were already in the urban area. Since they planned to keep a low profile, it would be better to switch out the armored vehicle.
Seeing everyone agreed, Su Jin pulled out an old SUV that the family used to own back in H city, then briefly entered the Space to explain the situation outside to grandma and grandpa.
Li Xiuying and Lin Xiuyuan, having been on the move for most of the day, were indeed tired. Knowing the younger ones were concerned about their safety, they decided to simply rest in the Space for a while.
âXiao Jin, you guys focus on your mission outside and be careful,â
Li Xiuying instructed.
âDonât worry, grandma, we should reach the base today, and then weâll come back to report to you and grandpa,â
Having said that, Su Jin, with Local Tyrant Gold, left the Space and then joined the others in the ordinary-looking SUV.
Just as Lu Hao was about to start the vehicle, he saw two cars driving towards them.
Both vehicles were white with bodies covered in black and red blood stains, and the people inside were surprised by the sight of hundreds of zombie bodies littering the ground in front of the mallâthere must have been at least five hundred of them, right?
Had the people in this vehicle done this?
But that ordinary SUV didnât seem to fit many people, did it?
Could there be a master inside?
âDoesnât look like theyâre from the base,â
said a man in the front passenger seat of the car.
âCaptain Cen, should we say hello?â
asked Xiao Deng driving.
âLetâs check it out. Weâve lost quite a few people lately; itâd be great if we could recruit a lone expert,â said Cen Chu.
âAh, I really hope we encounter a handsome and skilled expert. Iâve had no one to keep me company since Big Guy died,â
said a girl with heavy makeup excitedly eyeing the other vehicle.
âZhuzhuo, contain yourself. If it werenât for you, Big Guy wouldnât have been bitten,â
Cen Chu said sternly, his face full of anger. If Zhuzhuo were not a veteran in the team and possessed precise Fire Element Ability, he would have gotten rid of her long ago.
âGot it, captain,â
Zhuzhuo replied, blowing a breath into Cen Chuâs ear from behind the passenger seat afterward.
âZhuzhuo!â
Cen Chu was on the verge of exploding with anger, something the other teammates had grown accustomed to, as Zhuzhuo always managed to easily skyrocket the captainâs rage level.
âCaptain Cen, we can only stop here,â Xiao Deng said.
The road ahead was blocked by bodies of zombies, but it seemed the people in the SUV had already opened the doors and were preparing to get out.
Zhuzhuo, eyes lit up with excitement, watched as a pair of long legs stepped out of the vehicle, then moved her gaze up to see a manâs slim and tall, yet not bulky, figure and those deep, expressive eyes.
âAh, heâs totally my type, my type!!â
Zhuzhuo yelled exaggeratedly in the car, making a move to open the door and step down.
âYou all stay in the car,â
Cen Chuâs words frustrated Zhuzhuo, but the driver, Xiao Deng, simply obeyed Cen Chu and didnât unlock the rear door.
At that moment, Cen Chu had already stepped out of the vehicle.
