Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Tsk tsk–” A slight gulping sound was heard beside Mo Chu. Even though the sound was very weak, she still heard it.

She turned her head to look to the side. The middle-aged man was staring at the instant noodles that were boiling in her pot with a face full of saliva. However, when he met Mo Chu’s gaze, he could not help but feel a moment of embarrassment on his face, he subconsciously took a few steps back.

“Aren’t you going to cook?” Mo Chu glanced at the instant noodles that he was hugging tightly in his hands and asked softly.

“No, there’s no need!” The man shook his head and looked down at the food in his arms happily. It was as if he owned the entire world. “This… I’ll stay for a few more days. Now, I can eat some biscuits first.”

If it was before, who would care so much about a packet of instant noodles? But now, all the supplies had become scarce resources. This kind of hot food was even more precious…

Thinking of this, the middle-aged man’s arms tightened even more, it was better to save this kind of good stuff for later.

Seeing this, Mo Chu did not say anything more.

The instant noodles in the pot were already cooked. The unique and strong fragrance was constantly entering one’s nose, causing one’s movements to involuntarily speed up.

Mo Chu grabbed a handful of chopsticks and fed it into her mouth. She had just chewed two mouthfuls, but her movements could not help but pause. This instant noodles was very fragrant, and the combination of seasonings fully satisfied her taste buds. However, it made her miss the food she had eaten in the galaxy back then even more. There were no additives, it was pure and natural, and the taste was mellow…

“What’s wrong? Could it be that this instant noodles… has expired?” Looking at Mo Chu’s dazed look, the middle-aged man could not help but be stunned. Then, he waved his hand nonchalantly. “It’s fine. Even if it has expired, we can still eat it. Why are we still afraid of this?”

Hearing this, Mo Chu could not help but chuckle.

Indeed, the 21st century was a time when unscrupulous business practices were commonplace. Reused oil and expired food were rampant… In order to make a huge profit, all the links that had been manipulated by the people had been moved. It was precisely because of this that the people had developed an ‘extremely strong’ stomach.

The middle-aged man seemed to have thought of this as well. He laughed self-deprecatingly. “At least in this aspect, we are stronger than the people from other countries.” Indeed, as time passed, the problem that came with it was the deterioration of the food. The people’s acceptance of this aspect was definitely much higher than the people from other countries, so their survival rate was naturally not much lower.

“Oh right, do you know the way?” After finishing up the remaining instant noodles, Mo chu placed the bowl and chopsticks aside and raised her head. “The way to Alberto City Base?”

A bowl of instant noodles made her miss the Federation even more. Ning Yiyuan, Mo Yang, Roundy… They had long become an indispensable part of her life, they had left an indelible mark in her life. In comparison, those days in the 21st century had become much paler.

Mo Chu took a deep breath… She really could not wait to go back!

Alberto City Base was undoubtedly the best place to gather information.

“You’re willing to go to Alberto City Base?”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man was immediately excited. He quickly moved his head over and continued, “Don’t worry. I’ve heard of its location before and I know the way, but it’s a little far.”

As he said this, the man scratched his head in embarrassment. “Based on our previous speed, I’m afraid we’ll have to walk for another ten days or so.”

As this chaos unfolded, all the large-scale transportation facilities had been rendered useless, the two legs had become the most trusted means of transportation for the people.

Hearing this, Mo Chu could not help but frown.

Ten days? No way! That was too long a time!

Mo Chu’s eyes flashed. “Oh right, do you know how to drive?”

“Yes…” The middle-aged man was first stunned, then he nodded vigorously. “Yes! I used to be a truck driver before, and my skills are very good!”

“That’s good.” Mo Chu nodded and stood up. “Let’s pack up and find a car first.”

“Ah?” The middle-aged man was stunned. Obviously, he could not accept Mo Chu’s sudden change in style. However, when he followed behind Mo Chu and saw a series of cars parked by the roadside, his eyes instantly lit up!

“Wow! This car is so beautiful. I liked it at that time too, but I just didn’t have the money to buy it.” Perhaps the man had an inexplicable passion for cars in his nature, the middle-aged man was no exception. When he saw a black car, he immediately took a few quick steps as if he was stroking a treasure. He gently touched it twice and sighed in a low voice.

Mo Chu was not at all proficient in these things. She only asked, “Does this car have a strong engine?”

“Yes!” The man nodded heavily. “This is the latest model. Its main focus is shock-proof safety. It is said that its performance is comparable to off-road…”

The man was still talking non-stop. Mo Chu peeked out from the open window and her eyes could not help but light up!

Very good, the car keys were still stuck on it! The car owner was probably too flustered at the time and did not have the time to care about this matter, which benefited them instead.

After throwing in the food and kitchen knives that he had packed previously, Mo Chu reached her hand in from outside and directly opened the car door. She sat in the passenger seat and raised her eyebrows at the stunned man outside, “Why aren’t you coming in?”

…

The middle-aged man’s driving skills were as good as he said.

Mo Chu sat in the car. She did not feel the slightest bit of shaking, as if she was walking on flat ground.

Of course, she had to ignore those zombie families who heard the noise and rushed toward them with shining eyes.

In the beginning, the middle-aged man was scared out of his wits when he saw the zombie crowd. The car swayed, and almost drove into the zombie crowd. Fortunately, Mo Chu roared at the side and saved them in time. However, it was clear that he had accumulated experience. Now, seeing the zombie crowd, the man did not show any fear at all. He rushed toward the zombie crowd as fast as lightning.

It was a safe journey.

At the current speed, they would reach their destination in less than two days.

Thinking of this, Mo Chu could not help but let out a sigh. She planned to take this opportunity to rest.

However, just as she closed his eyes, she was woken up!

“Help, help!” A woman’s voice filled with fear and longing could be heard through the car window.

Mo Chu suddenly opened her eyes. On the road not far ahead, two women who were supporting each other were looking at them with a face full of surprise and joy. The red cloth in their hands was shaking vigorously!

Screech –

The sound of rapid braking rang out. The car stopped.

“You want to save them?” Mo Chu glanced out of the car window and asked softly.

“Yes.” The middle-aged man licked his tongue and rubbed his hands in embarrassment. “Since we’ve seen them, we should help them, right? Or do you think… It’s not good?”

Without waiting for Mo Chu to speak, the two girls by the side of the road had already rushed over. Their hands were as thin as twigs as they knocked on the car window with all their might. A sharp and terrified voice could be heard, “Please, let us in! Please!”

The middle-aged man was obviously a kind and honest man. Seeing the two girls in such a sorry state, he could not bear to abandon them. So, he turned his eyes to Mo Chu and said, “Why don’t you let them in?”

He also understood that Mo Chu was the one who got the car, and most of the zombies he met along the way were killed by Mo Chu. He could not make the decision on his own.

Mo Chu did not say anything, but turned her head slightly.

The car had already stopped. Could they just drive over them?

Her reaction was a tacit agreement.

Seeing that, the middle-aged man felt happy. He hurriedly opened the backseat door and said in a simple and honest voice, “Little girls, hurry up and come in.”

Hearing that, the two girls quieted down a little. As soon as the back door was opened, they immediately climbed up the car as if they had seen a rope on a cliff. Then, they took deep breaths. After they got into the car, they saw that the zombies behind them were far away from them. Then, they collapsed on the seats as if they had been reborn.

After driving for half a day, the car was still silent.

The girl behind them finally could nto stand it anymore. She moved closer and asked curiously, “By the way, where are you going?”

“We’re going to Alberto City Base,” the middle-aged man answered. He swung the steering wheel and successfully avoided a group of zombies on the right.

Seeing the middle-aged man’s swift movements, the eyes of the two girls in the back seat lit up! There was a hint of surprise in their tone. “That’s great. We’re also preparing to go to Alberto City Base.”

“That’s great.” The middle-aged man smiled. “Why don’t we go together!”

The previously bustling city and countryside had now become quiet and cold.

A car was driving forward at the speed of the wind.

Not long after, night gradually fell.

The man had been driving for a whole day, and he could not take it anymore. In just a few minutes, he had already yawned a few times.

“Thank you for your hard work.” Mo Chu smiled and said in a low voice, “Let’s stop to rest for a while and eat something.”

“Sigh. “The middle-aged man nodded and agreed. “Then I’ll go down and take a look at the situation.”

Upon hearing this, Mo Chu opened the car door and walked out. She took out a bag of biscuits and fed it to her mouth before swallowing it with cold water. Even if she still had food in her terminal, she would not expose this secret because of these people.

The weather was not too cold at this moment. The breeze blew on her face and it was still somewhat comfortable. However, after taking a careful sniff, she could still smell the faint smell of blood in the wind.

“We’ve been driving for a whole day. Go to the car and sleep. “After finishing a bag of biscuits, Mo Chu squeezed the remaining wrapping paper into a ball and threw it at his feet. “I’ll take turns keeping vigil with the other two girls later. I’ll call you when it’s almost time.”

“That… isn’t very good.” The man scratched his head. He was a grown man sleeping in the car, but it did not make sense for him to let the three girls keep vigil outside.

“You’re the only one among us who knows how to drive.” Mo Chu was very calm. She said in a deep voice, “We’ll arrive soon anyway. Only by ensuring your energy can we arrive at Alberto City Base earlier.”

Mo Chu’s words were reasonable and reasonable. The man did not refuse anymore. He just nodded and said, “Okay.”

“Okay, I’ll go and discuss it with them.” As she said that, Mo Chu turned around and walked to the car. He pulled the door open, and a series of chattering sounds of swallowing could be heard.

Looking closely, she saw that the small bag of biscuits that she had left on the seat earlier had disappeared without a trace. Then, she looked at the remaining crumbs on the corner of their mouths. Clearly, the whereabouts of the biscuits were very clear…

“What… What are you looking at!” Before Mo Chu could say anything, a woman in the backseat had already puffed out her chest and looked like she would not let her off easily. “It’s just a bag of biscuits, right? Don’t be so stingy, hmph!”

Mo Chu glared at her coldly and said in a low voice, “This is the first time and the last time.”

Since she was so amazing, she would find her own food!

Hearing that, the woman’s expression changed. Before she could open her mouth, she was shocked by what Mo Chu said, “Come out. We’ll take turns keeping vigil tonight.”

“What?!”

“Go out?” Hearing that, the woman shook her head subconsciously and shrank back abruptly. “Why do we have to go out? There are so many zombies out there. Aren’t we courting death by going out? I don’t want to go out! If you want to go out, you can go out by yourself!”

While saying that, she turned around and walked out of the car, her hands were still tightly gripping the handrail on the car door, and even her nails were deeply stuck in it.

“If you don’t come out to watch the night, don’t get in the car tomorrow.”

She would stay here and feed the zombies! Mo Chu’s tone was clear, but the threat in her words was obvious.

If all of them stayed in the car, they would be surrounded by zombies the next morning. They would not be able to escape even if they wanted to.

“Why?” Hearing that, the woman immediately screamed and glared at Mo Chu, “Is this your car? Are you the one driving the car? Why do you say that?”

Along the way, they had already sized up Mo Chu countless times.

Honestly speaking, this girl’s looks could be considered exquisite. However, in this day and age, there was no lack of beautiful women.

What made them even more jealous was that Mo Chu’s face was healthy, her skin was fair and ruddy, and her temperament was clean and indifferent. She was completely unlike someone who had just experienced such a disaster. Instead, she was more like a porcelain doll that was being pampered by others…

On the other hand, they were clearly women and their innate looks were not bad either. However, because they had not had food for a long time. They were undernourished, sallow, and emaciated. The rotten stench from their bodies could be smelled from far away, and their entire bodies were like shriveled leaves of vegetables.

At a glance, a decadent smell assaulted their faces.

Needless to say, there was no comparison.

Now that they saw Mo Chu in this state, their hearts immediately felt unbalanced! If not for following such a man, you would be able to live such a comfortable life. Now, you still have the cheek to teach us a lesson. You’re just a little girl! Tsk!
