Chapter 208 Invaders of S City (1)
DAY136
The night before, Lu Yuan suddenly fell into a coma, catching Yang Xiao and Zhong Qiang completely off guard. One of them was a sports student who rarely got sick, and the other was someone who didn't even realize he was sick and needed help from others. The absence of Lu Yuan's medical equipment immediately plunged them into a state of anxiety.
But after observing him for over two hours, they found that Lu Yuan had no other symptoms and seemed to be asleep. The two people, completely lacking in nursing knowledge, were relieved after only three hours of anxiety. After all, the RV and everything inside hadn't disappeared because of Lu Yuan's coma, and they both agreed that they couldn't let Lu Yuan go hungry, so they ate a hearty hot pot meal next to the unconscious Lu Yuan.
"Dad, Lu Yuan hasn't woken up all night. Is he really going to die?" Zhong Qiang and Yang Xiao took turns keeping watch that night. Zhong Qiang stayed up for the latter half of the night, and even after Yang Xiao woke up, Lu Yuan still had no consciousness.
"Maybe my comics are too good, and they upset him. Isn't that how it's written in novels?" Although Yang Xiao was also worried, he acted very relaxed in order to keep the morale of the troops stable.
"I tried it this morning, and our car can't be driven at all on the ice." Because he was too sleepy in the morning, Zhong Qiang found something to do. He secretly pulled out the fixing nails and tried to drive the car. Fortunately, their car only skidded in place and did not slide away. Otherwise, Yang Xiao might not be so calm now.
"Next time you do something, can you let me know in advance?" Yang Xiao said, and immediately got out of the car to check all the fasteners that Zhong Qiang had re-nailed.
"It's fine, isn't it? I tested it with a snowball and only dared to try it on flat ground." Zhong Qiang wasn't an impulsive fool. Before pulling out the fixing nails, he did some tests to ensure that their RV wouldn't have any problems.
"Shh..." Just as Zhong Qiang was repeatedly admitting his mistakes, Yang Xiao suddenly raised his index finger at him, then quickly pressed Zhong Qiang's head down, and the two of them hid next to the RV's wheels.
"What's going on?" Zhong Qiang saw Yang Xiao's sudden and intense reaction, but as a fellow superhuman, he didn't sense anything was wrong. However, he always trusted Yang Xiao, so he immediately became alert.
The two of them squatted like that for five minutes. Because Zhong Qiang didn't squat down on his own, but was held down by Yang Xiao, his posture was very uncomfortable. He felt his entire right side of his body starting to go numb, and his right foot even started to tremble slightly.
"How come I didn't feel anything?" Zhong Qiang asked again, only to be met with Yang Xiao's barely suppressed laughter.
"Hahaha, this is your punishment for acting recklessly!" Yang Xiao patted Zhong Qiang's numb right shoulder, then turned and got into the RV.
Lu Yuan was still asleep in the car. After Zhong Qiang got in and locked the door, he slumped onto the sofa, enduring the tingling sensation on half of his body. Zhong Qiang was particularly afraid of numbness, whether it was numbness from food or numbness from the body. He disliked this feeling of trillions of ants crawling over him, and now he wished he could peel off this layer of skin.
Just as Zhong Qiang was sprawled out on the sofa, Yang Xiao, who was rummaging through the mini-fridge for breakfast, became alert again. This was the first time he had felt this strongly. Even when they saw so many level-nine ability users at the Beijing base last time, he, as a support-type ability user, didn't feel anything strange.
"Zhong Qiang!" Yang Xiao had never called Zhong Qiang's name so seriously before, so even though he had just been tricked, Zhong Qiang was still on guard. Then, he clearly felt that the surrounding air seemed to have become oppressive.
“Something’s coming.” Zhong Qiang looked at Yang Xiao, wanting to confirm with him whether his feeling was correct.
"Hmm." Yang Xiao nodded. They were currently surrounded by a vast, empty ice field with no shelter whatsoever. A motorhome like this would be a very conspicuous target here.
Yang Xiao now hopes that what comes is a human being, even a foreigner, rather than a zombie or something else. After all, if it's a human being, they can still surrender, right?
However, just as they were both preparing to surrender or die, the oppressive feeling suddenly disappeared, which puzzled them. They looked back at Lu Yuan lying on the bed, wondering if the oppressive force was coming from him, but he still looked unconscious, so it didn't seem like it.
"We're really in a bind now." Yang Xiao was a little frustrated because they had gotten to S City by helicopter in Lu Yuan's space, and now that Lu Yuan was unconscious, they had no way to escape.
"Why don't I carry Lu Yuan on my back and we just run away?" Zhong Qiang was still worried that there was a terrifying force behind this terrifying sense of oppression. Rather than waiting to die here, the three of them might as well take a gamble and run first.
“But…” Yang Xiao looked at the small refrigerator with the door still open. He was a little reluctant to part with the RV. If Lu Yuan didn’t wake up for a while, they would be relying on the supplies in the vehicle to survive. These things couldn’t be taken away so easily. Items like water would freeze as soon as they left the vehicle and couldn’t be taken with them.
"How about we have breakfast first?" From Yang Xiao's eyes, Zhong Qiang instantly understood what he meant. Once they left the RV, they might face a food crisis.
"I'm starting to regret not carrying enough compressed biscuits and special water bottles in my backpack like Ji Lang and the others." Although Yang Xiao said this, he and Zhong Qiang still squatted down and moved to the small refrigerator. The two of them ate their food quietly like two mice.
Just as the two finished eating, less than ten minutes later, they heard the sound of an engine outside the RV. Yang Xiao immediately reached behind the driver's seat, opened the partition door a crack, and looked outside.
"Dad, there's a car!" Zhong Qiang leaned against the sofa and opened the blinds on the window a little to look out. He saw a row of large heavy armored vehicles, but these vehicles were not Chinese. The flags of R country and H country were brightly affixed to their bodies.
"Holy crap, this is a joint convoy!" Yang Xiao also saw the armored vehicles, as they had completely surrounded their RV after arriving.
"Hello, is anyone there!" The sudden sound of R-style English from outside made Yang Xiao and Zhong Qiang lose their composure from the tense atmosphere. Fortunately, they both knew that they were the weaker party, so they held back their laughter.
"Why are there so many people from R country and H country in S city?" Because the two of them didn't respond from inside the car, a lot of people got out of the convoy outside. Zhong Qiang roughly counted, and there were at least twenty or thirty people.
