Chapter 229: Chapter 226: What Illness Does She Have?

The gray-haired man turned around unhurriedly, a lazy smile on his face.

’I must have seen that wrong from this distance,’ Chen Xing thought.

’In a situation like this, shouldn’t he be attacking or running away?’

’Who has time to smile?’

The gray-haired man reached into the bag at his lower back, pulled out several grenades, and tossed them out one after another.

The men approaching from several directions were nearly all taken out by the explosions.

However, a grenade thrown in one direction didn’t detonate as planned.

One of the Superpower Users easily caught the grenade and threw it back toward the gray-haired man.

The grenade instantly exploded.

But the gray-haired man was completely unharmed. In the next instant, he appeared in front of the Superpower User who had caught the grenade, a delicate, golden pistol pressed to the man’s forehead.

BANG! The Superpower User took a bullet to the head and collapsed.

After a few more shots, the members of the Migratory Clan couldn’t even clearly see how the gray-haired man was moving.

’A speed-type Superpower User.’

’The gray-haired man’s superpower must have been upgraded. He can use Instant Teleportation over a distance of several hundred meters.’

Seeing the gray-haired man easily wipe out the Migratory Clan and start walking back the way he came, Chen Xing turned and headed for her RV.

To her surprise, by the time she neared the sports car, the gray-haired man had already caught up with her. "Leaving after you’ve had your fill of the show?" His tone was full of playful teasing.

Chen Xing turned around, her eyes cold as she looked at him. "Should I stick around and wait for you to kill me?"

"You haven’t done anything to offend me. Why would I want to kill you?" The gray-haired man extended a hand toward Chen Xing. "My name is Li Feibai!"

Chen Xing glanced up at him, then turned and walked toward the RV again.

Li Feibai: "..."

’Am I being ignored?’

’My pride can’t take this!’

"How can you be so rude?" Li Feibai had never been treated this way by a woman before. "I told you my name! It’s only polite that you tell me yours in return!"

Chen Xing didn’t even pause. She just got into the RV and drove off.

Li Feibai: "..."

’How can anyone be so aloof?’

He immediately jumped into his sports car, slammed on the gas, and pulled up alongside the RV. "I don’t mean any harm! I just want to know your name..."

Chen Xing shot him a cold glance.

’This guy is so annoying!’

She didn’t bother speeding up. Her RV was no match for a sports car.

Soon, they reached the hiding spot where 00002 and the others were waiting.

She briefly explained to the group that they were heading north.

and 00003 had no objections; they just needed to follow Chen Xing.

As for Hong Hui and Da Bai, who had been sent over by Captain Lu, they just needed to report to him, and it would be fine.

After he finished reporting their travel plans to Captain Lu, Da Bai looked warily at Li Feibai. "And this is...?"

He could tell this man knew Chen Xing.

Li Feibai, on the other hand, was quick to warm up. "Hey, everyone. I’m Li Feibai!"

"Uh... hello!" Da Bai glanced at Chen Xing.

With a frosty expression, Chen Xing completely ignored Li Feibai and got straight into the RV, waiting for Da Bai and the others to get ready to leave.

Da Bai could only give Li Feibai a nod before he got into the vehicle as well.

Not one to give up, Li Feibai got into his car too.

As the sky grew dark, the temperature dropped rapidly, so he had to close his car’s automatic convertible top.

About two hours later, they stopped for the night in a small village less than a kilometer off the road.

Chen Xing took out quite a few things from the storage cabinets in her RV.

With so many people, she didn’t make anything too extravagant, just a large pot of noodles with a thick gravy.

As soon as the table was set, Li Feibai came over with a grin, holding a large bag. "I’ve got a big portion of braised prawns here. Can I trade for some of your noodles?"

"Sure." Chen Xing took the braised prawns, brought them into the RV, and heated them in the microwave.

The rich aroma of the shrimp immediately filled the air.

’I’m not letting my guard down,’ she thought, ’I’ll just eat some later.’

’I’m willing to try seafood, but as for other meat... forget it.’

Hong Hui had already served Li Feibai a bowl of noodles.

Since no one was in a rush to get back on the road, the meal was a harmonious affair.

"So, where are you all headed?" Li Feibai couldn’t help but ask after they finished eating.

Chen Xing took a sip of hot cocoa and asked in a flat tone, "How long do you plan on following us?"

"Until you agree to tell me your name!"

Da Bai and the other onlookers were speechless. ’...So, Li Feibai is here to pursue Chen Xing?’

"Ahem..." Da Bai and Hong Hui coughed awkwardly and stood up, not forgetting to pull the two clueless "guinea pigs" along with them. "It’s getting late. We’re going to head to bed!"

Chen Xing stood up, unfazed by their dramatic expressions, and walked toward her RV.

Li Feibai was exasperated.

’Is it really this hard just to learn a name?’

He had no choice but to take out a remote and press a button, aiming it at his sports car.

As the trunk opened, a simple tent slowly rose and unfurled, covering the entire sports car.

The front seats slowly reclined, the rear seats extended backward, and a section between them rose up to form a simple sleeping platform.

The tent offered excellent insulation; it wouldn’t feel cold even at twenty degrees below zero. The blanket was a warm goose-down comforter.

It snowed heavily that night. When they woke up, they saw that the snow had nearly buried a third of the RV. Getting back on the road was impossible.

With soft snow everywhere, the vehicles couldn’t move at all.

They could only stay put and wait for the temperature to rise.

At breakfast, Li Feibai brought over lobster to share, trading it for some of the steamed buns from Chen Xing’s group.

Chen Xing gave him a look like he was an idiot.

’This guy must be seriously rich.’

’To be able to pull out things like this so long after the apocalypse started, and to share them so casually...’

’Even Song Yiguo might not be this generous. It’s just outrageously wasteful.’

Da Bai and the other guys, however, really took a liking to Li Feibai and quickly became friendly with him.

Snowed in for two straight days, everyone mostly just passed the time by chatting about food.

"Da Bai, what’s your Sister Xing’s actual name?" Li Feibai asked, seizing a moment during the pleasant conversation.

Da Bai wasn’t that stupid. Since Sister Xing hadn’t told Li Feibai herself, he wasn’t going to say anything either. "Ask her yourself."

He glanced at Chen Xing inside the RV and added, "And what happens after you find out Sister Xing’s name? What’s your plan? Are you going to pursue her?"

Li Feibai: "..."

He was taken aback by the question; he really hadn’t thought about that.

’I’m just stubborn, I can’t give up until I get an answer. And as for this ice queen... I’m just curious about her, right?’

He looked toward the RV as well.

Chen Xing was leaning back in the booth by the window, gazing at the snowy landscape outside.

Her reflection in the windowpane revealed a delicate and exquisite face.

"Does she have a boyfriend?" Li Feibai asked suddenly after watching her for a long while.

’A woman that beautiful couldn’t possibly be single. Or rather, she shouldn’t be short of male admirers.’

Da Bai shook his head. "Nope!" he said, his tone firm and decisive.

Li Feibai: "..."

’Does she have some kind of disease?’

Just then, a roaring sound suddenly pierced the air. It started in the distance but grew rapidly closer.

Worried about the RV, Chen Xing burst out of it the instant she heard the sound.

From out of the deep snow, a zombie, its entire body a ghastly grayish-white, suddenly charged forth, reaching their campsite in an instant.

An Advanced Zombie!
