Chapter 9: It’s not Enough to Survive Alone
When they neared the city, Mo Chenxuan and Qin Wu began to see more people and cars.
However, the people were rushing out of rather than into the city.
Seeing this, Qin Wu sighed.
"It's too bad." She said.
"It's daytime, and the zombies are slow. This is the best time to collect supplies."
"It's natural for people to be momentarily paralysed when they encounter an unexpected disaster."
"You are right." She nodded.
"As early as this afternoon, some people will begin to react."
"It may not take that long."
"What do you mean?"
"A post about the apocalypse appeared on the internet yesterday. When people connect the dots, they will react faster than they did in their previous life."
Hearing this, Qin Wu looked at Mo Chenxuan with a solemn expression.
"Brother Chenxuan, did you write the post?"
"Mmmm."
"Why?" Qin Wu couldn't understand this.
From her understanding of the man, Mo Chenxuan was not a nosy man.
Although he wouldn't go out of his way to harm others, he also wouldn't go out of his way to help others.
"Wu'er, do you wish to live in the space?" Mo Chenxuan suddenly asked.
"No." Qin Wu immediately answered.
Although her space was safe, she still preferred the colourful world.
If possible, she wanted to see the end of the apocalypse.
"Unless we plan to live in the space, it's not enough to survive alone." Mo Chenxuan subconsciously clenched his hands when he said that.
Seeing that, Qin Wu fell into thought.
"Brother Chenxuan, how long did you live in the apocalypse?" She asked.
Hearing the question, Mo Chenxuan sighed and reached for the woman's hand.
"Long enough to see the fall of mankind." He said.
"Fall of mankind…" Qin Wu trembled.
When Qin Wu died, it was eight years into the apocalypse.
By then, country H had transitioned from survivor bases to ten super-large fortresses.
Overall, everything was heading in a good direction, and everyone was optimistic.
Unexpectedly, from what Mo Chenxuan said, 'the good direction' was just a temporary calm before the storm.
When the illusion shattered, everything was too late, and mankind could not overcome the apocalypse.
"Wu'er, I will tell you everything later. However, I hope you can trust me when I say that overcoming the apocalypse is not as easy as everyone thinks."
"Of course I trust you." Qin Wu said, her eyes narrowed into slits.
"Brother Chenxuan, are you going to fight for power?"
"Didn't we agree to walk side by side?"
When she heard this, Qin Wu fell silent.
After rebirth, she only thought of revenge and being with Mo Chenxuan.
However, if what the man said was accurate, neither she nor Mo Chenxuan could afford to sit back and relax.
Fortunately, everything was easy when she had Mo Chenxuan beside her.
Thinking of this, Qin Wu smiled.
"Brother Chenxuan, I will accompany you no matter what." She vowed with a determined expression.
"I will never let you regret your choice."
"I know." Qin Wu nodded and looked at the person.
"What's the plan?" She asked.
"Collect supplies and then head to city B, but first…."
"…but first?"
"Kill zombies."
Hearing this, Qin Wu was momentarily disoriented.
However, she soon regained her composure and looked ahead.
"Damn!" She cursed.
She and Mo Chenxuan chose a good route.
However, troublesome things kept happening.
First, they encountered zombie racers at the top of the Heishe Mountain pass.
After that, everything went as expected, but the trouble was waiting here.
Fifty metres away, a car was speeding towards them.
However, the car had a broken back bumper that dragged on the ground, producing a high screeching sound.
"They are attracting all the surrounding zombies." Qin Wu complained, and Mo Chenxuan nodded.
"If this continues, they will cause a troublesome situation."
"Mmmmh." Qin Wu nodded while thinking of a plan.
Soon after, the car approached the Hummer.
Seeing this, Qin Wu opened her window, stretched her body out of the car and shouted.
"Get rid of that bumper, or you won't be able to outrun the zombies." She said.
Unfortunately, the other car didn't stop to listen.
Instead, it accelerated, which caused the bumper to screech louder.
"Stupid." Qin Wu muttered and prepared to fight.
"Wu'er, can you control your water superpower?"
"I can, why?"
"How long can you wrap the car with your water?"
Hearing this, Qin Wu was shocked.
"You are not thinking…" She started, and Mo Chenxuan nodded.
"Wrap the car with water, and I will use your water to conduct my lightning. In the meantime, we will crash through the group of zombies."
"Five seconds." Qin Wu gave a modest estimate.
Although her superpower was more powerful than her previous life, Qin Wu had never wrapped a car with water.
However, when she thought this was her first superpower attack after her rebirth, she couldn't help but be excited.
"Get ready. We will start in three seconds."
"Mmmm."
Soon after, Mo Chenxuan stepped on the accelerator and rushed into the crowd of scattered zombies.
At the same time, Qin Wu used her water to surround the Hummer.
A moment later, lightning hit the water, and the car glowed with white lightning flashes.
Seeing this, Qin Wu was suddenly shocked.
"Come to think of it, why isn't the car affected?" She asked, looking at Mo Chenxuan with a perplexed expression.
"What do you think?"
"Is this a modified car?"
However, Qin Wu shook her head without waiting for an answer.
From what she guessed, Mo Chenxuan was reborn around the same time as her.
Considering that, he didn't have enough time to modify his car to be lightning resistant.
"Wu'er, there is something I didn't mention." Mo Chenxuan suddenly said.
"What is it?"
"My accompanying space is not a superpower. However, I do indeed have more than one superpower."
When she heard this, Qin Wu was confused.
"We survived together for more than three years in our previous life. How could I not notice you had another superpower?" Qin Wu asked.
"Because I didn't." Mo Chenxuan said and quickly explained.
"I only had the lightning superpower in my previous life. The new superpowers are a result of my rebirth."
