Chapter 32: The Two Green Teas Unite
Hearing about the dire situation in Lizhou, the others took a sharp breath of cold air. Fortunately, they had left; otherwise, it would have been difficult for them to protect the base with just a few of them.
Li Jianbin, on the other hand, started bowing and begging for mercy repeatedly, showing that he was a coward and a weakling.
"Mr. Sheng, I eat very little, but I can do physical work. Please let me join your team. I had no choice but to follow Shen Laohe's team. If I were alone, I would have died a long time ago."
Sheng Hongye was annoyed by his shouting and coldly said, "If you want to follow, then follow. But if you dare to harm your teammates or have any ulterior motives, I will definitely kill you."
Li Jianbin's forehead immediately broke out in sweat, and he knocked his head on the ground repeatedly.
"I swear to the heavens that I will never have any ulterior motives towards Mr. Sheng's team. If I break this oath, I will be struck by lightning."
Growing impatient with his whimpering, Er Lei kicked him.
"Enough of your damn nonsense, just stay on the side."
Then, Er Lei approached Sheng Hongye with respect and asked, "Mr. Sheng, should we rest a little longer?"
Sheng Hongye glanced at the sky; it was still early in the morning. He instructed everyone to continue resting, and when Er Lei suggested he should go upstairs and rest for a while, Sheng Hongye declined the offer.
He sat back on the sofa, propped up his long legs, and relaxed.
Meanwhile, Su Ling looked towards Su Rou, who had gone upstairs with Li Xueying.
These two scheming green teas had come together, and she was curious to see what kind of sparks would fly between them.
When she withdrew her gaze, she noticed Sheng Hongye looking at her with a raised eyebrow.
Su Ling suddenly remembered her own dragon grabbing hand, and her face blushed slightly.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?"
Sheng Hongye blinked for a moment, then shifted his gaze away.
"I was thinking, you're right, maybe Liu Yu really foresaw something. If we don't leave Lizhou, we’re probably in grave danger."
Seeing him believe her words, Su Ling smirked.
"I wonder what your next plan is. Will you stay here temporarily or continue heading east?"
"What do you think?"
Somewhere along the way, Sheng Hongye had started enjoying hearing Su Ling's opinions.
After pondering for a moment, Su Ling said, "If we follow Liu Yu's words, the east is definitely not here. If everyone is well-rested, we should continue heading east."
Sheng Hongye thought for a while. There were only two rows of buildings here, which were not suitable for defense. If a large number of zombies attacked, they wouldn't be able to hold them off. Besides, they didn't have a specific destination in mind, so they might as well try heading east.
"Okay."
He glanced at his watch and said, "It's still a while before dawn. I've already had enough rest. You rest for a while, I'll watch."
Yawning, Su Ling had stayed up half the night, and her eyelids were starting to droop. She nodded and curled up on the sofa, soon drifting off to sleep.
At some point, Su Ling was awakened by the sound of people walking back and forth. When she opened her eyes, she realized it was already eight o'clock in the morning.
Gu Kai Xuan was sitting on the side, watching her. When he saw Su Ling wake up, he immediately handed her a piece of bread.
In a sweet and innocent voice, he said, "Auntie, I saved this for you. Eat it quickly. Uncle said once we're done eating, we'll leave."
Su Ling quickly sat up and reached out to rub Gu Kai Xuan's melon-shaped head. "Thank you, baby."
At that moment, a familiar voice called out from behind, "Sister, I'm sorry. I know I was wrong. Can you forgive me?"
Su Ling pretended not to hear and quickly finished eating the bread, then headed outside.
Su Rou pursed her lips, her eyes filled with resentment.
It was all this bitch's fault; if she had told them about the apocalypse earlier, her mother wouldn't have died.
"Su Rou, come sit with me in the car."
Li Xueying emerged from behind, wearing a condescending smile.
Su Rou replied quickly, "Thank you, Miss Li."
"What's there to thank for? We are all in the same boat, just don't be like your sister. She's selfish and only cares about herself."
Su Rou immediately whispered in agreement, "Yes, she's always been selfish at home. If it weren't for her, my parents wouldn't have died."
Su Rou forced out two tears, and hand in hand with Li Xueying, they walked out the door.
Seeing these two green tea bitches united, Su Ling smirked sarcastically.
These kind of people were destined never to become friends, and she wanted to see how long this facade could last.
Geng Hao had already gotten in the car and looked at Su Ling, asked, "Sister Su Ling, why is that woman here?"
Su Rou had been among the people from Zhongxing Community who came to the base to cause trouble, so Geng Hao had some impression of her.
Su Ling shrugged, "She was abandoned by Shen Laohe and the others. Mr. Sheng has temporarily taken them in."
Geng Hao frowned, saying, "She and Li Xueying are teaming up for sure. They must be plotting something against you, Sister Su Ling. You need to be cautious of them."
Su Ling responded casually, "It's fine. Soon, even eating and drinking will become difficult. They won't be able to cause any trouble."
Geng Hao neither agreed nor disagreed. Then he remembered something and asked, "Sister Su Ling, Mr. Sheng wants to find Liu Yu. Do you really think he has supernatural abilities?"
Su Ling turned her face towards Geng Hao and smiled.
"Perhaps you have them too?"
"Me?"
Geng Hao pointed to his nose in surprise, and Su Ling immediately examined his finger to see if there were any sparks.
Could it be that she was mistaken?
No way, her eyes could even see the tiniest blood vessels clearly. How could she be wrong?
With a smile on her lips, she said, "It's possible. I just have this feeling that many things changed after that rain."
Immediately, Geng Hao recalled something and said, "Indeed, after that rain, Liu Yu became increasingly suspicious."
As Su Ling was about to speak, Sheng Hongye suddenly picked up Gu Kai Xuan and placed him in the car.
"Auntie, can my uncle and I ride in your car?"
Su Ling was a little surprised but still smiled and said. "Of course, as long as you don't mind my car being old."
Sheng Hongye closed the rear door and opened the driver's door.
"I'll drive, you can still get some more rest."
Su Ling was squeezed into the passenger seat, and as their bodies touched, she immediately thought of her reinforcement system.
If it’s possible to reinforce herself beyond the original limits, then her car will definitely work as well. She immediately said silently, "Reinforce."
The system's prompt quickly followed.
Item reinforced successfully. All attributes have reached one hundred twenty percent.
Su Ling shouted again, and the system informed her that the item had reached its maximum reinforcement. To continue, she needed to upgrade the system first.
Su Ling couldn't help but get excited and clenched her fist. It seemed that she was right; not only could the system be upgraded, but items could also be reinforced beyond the original limits.
If the upgrade required a certain number of reinforcements to be triggered, she needed to reinforce more items to expedite the system's upgrade...
Sheng Hongye stepped on the gas pedal, and the car quickly left the resort like an arrow leaving the bow.
After three hours of driving east, they arrived at a farm.
As everyone prepared to go in and take a look, a few shotguns appeared before them.
