"The boss brother has really come" said the younger of the 2 men.
"He must be even more awesome than the boss" said the other. "Just look at that beast" he said in reverence while pointing at the Doomsday Ride. "This thing is an entirely custom-made survival truck. There is nothing like that on the market, and those things are expensive as f.u.c.k."
The other 2 looked at the intimidating truck with awe. When Xiaotian told her to wait, the 3 got closer to the girls, and listened to them talk.
"How did you meet my brother?"
"I first met him a few days before the outbreak, when he came to rent a car a the company I worked in part-time. I didn't see him again until the day of the outbreak. I was with my friend and we were running, trying to flee the city. But the zombies were catching up to us. We begged people in their vehicles to take us in but they refused us. When we though we would die, your brother stopped and took us in mere seconds before the zombies reached us."
The fond tone of voice and the nostalgic expression on her face told them that it was a very important memory for her. It also made them understand that her words were genuine.
"Wow" said Zhuying with a proud smile.
"The boss brother is a good man" said the older man in a boisterous manner.
Before they could continue their chat, they saw a vehicle coming from within the estate. It was towing a double trailer. As it got closer, they could tell that it was of the same quality as the truck. When they saw the driver come out, they were stunned. The same though pa.s.sed through the guys minds. Bada.s.s! The other female of the group took in a sharp breath.
They recovered when they saw Zhuying rush in his arms. They all felt warm at that sight, especially the 2 girls in the vehicles and the elder man. They stayed in each others arms for nearly 10 seconds before releasing each other. Zhuying looked him up and down.
"Brother, you look awesome! Where did you get all of this?"
"I told you I was getting ready to get you. These are the results of my preparations."
While he didn't intend to hide much from his sister, it was a different things for the people that were traveling with her.
"We will talk about why you left your room and left a message that didn't explain anything later. I see you also got yourself some comrades."
"Ah, yes. Cough. These are the core members of my survivor group, my friend Yang Quinping, Zhang Hai, and Sun Kun."
As she introduced them, they each nodded.
Yang Quingping was a curly haired girl with a pretty face, a little thicker than Zhuying, same bust size but smaller b.u.t.t. She was in jeans and running shoes, a s.h.i.+rt and a tracksuit jacket. She was armed with a knife, and had an appraising and calculating look in her eyes. Zhang Hai was a tall and muscular man with an average face yet a fierce appearance, seemingly in his late twenties. He was in baggy work pants, long sleeves s.h.i.+rt and a sleevless leather jacket. He was carrying an axe and looking at him in an almost friendly way. Sun Kun was a man around 20 years old, dressed in a casual way, holding a knife and a pipe in his hands.
"h.e.l.lo. I'm Jiang Lius.h.i.+, and as you know, this little girl's big brother. My friends are Wen Xiaotian, whom you already met, and her little sister, Wen Lu."
As he finished, Lu got out of the car, and once more, the newcomer stared. While greeting them, she stayed halfway hidden by the car, the hood of the car blocking the view of her groin. Thankfully, they stared mostly because of the equipment and not the bodysuit. It was one thing to have Lius.h.i.+ stare at her body, it was another to have some other guys do it. She didn't want to to show them her back.
"I guess you relocated to where the rest of your group is staying?"
"Yes. We better leave now" she said as she locked at her watch. "It's going to get dark in less than an hour."
Thinking quickly, Lius.h.i.+ decided who would be in the truck, and who would be in the car.
"Lu, why don't you help miss Yang into the truck. Zhuying, mr Zhang and mr Sun will be in the car with me. We will lead the way."
"Sure. Miss Yang" she said as she gestured to follow her.
Lu used the new girl as a screen to stay mostly out of view of the 2 men, though they did get a glimpse. Zhuying however got a good look at her and lightly hit her brother with her elbow before whispering in his ear.
"Whoa, brother. You've got some nice company with you. Must have been nice being alone in a car with her."
"Shut up, you naughty girl" he whispered back. She snickered in response.
When the newcomers got in their respective vehicles, they were impressed.
Lu had taken Quingping to the driving c.o.c.kpit, where she was placed in the middle. Before sitting, she looked at the dashboard, with the high tech electronic equipment and stopped in surprise. Then she looked at the back and was stunned. The interior was like a high grade camping car, with a big screen tv mounted on the wall, and a quality couch on the other side. There was a neat kitchen, she could make out the beds at the back, and guessed that the bathroom and toilets were on the other side.
She looked for a few seconds before siting down. She couldn't believ that the 3 of them had travelled through the apocalyptic land in such comfort, and got really jealous of the girls, especially after exchanging handshakes with them. They weren't like her, she though herself superior and ressented them in her heart.
When Zhuying and her subordinate entered the car, they whistled at the sight. Zhuying of course took the copilot seat while the 2 men took the pa.s.sengers seats behind them. They were on each side of the turret mechanism.
"Whoa, bro! Your car is amazing!"
"Oh my G.o.d! Is that a minigun?" exclaimed Sun Kun.
The 3 newcomers turned to look at the folded gattling gun, then at the opening mechanism on the ceiling. Their eyes and mouths were wide open.
"What magnificent piece of military engineering" whispered Zhang Hai.
Lius.h.i.+ smiled a little smugly as he listened to them and started to drive. It was good to have them impressed by his creations, despite the Sta.r.s.eed having done the lion share of the work.
"Brother, just how did you acquire all of that? Turn left."
"A lot of things have changed since the outbreak" he said, following her directions. "People have changed too. Aren't you different from before?" he asked while sparing her a knowing look.
Earlier, when he took her in his arms, the Sta.r.s.eed detected a high level of bioenergy from her, and announced that she was an evolved human. The only other one he had encountered before was the beekeeper that had merged with his hive queen. When his sister entroduced him to the rest of her team, the Sta.r.s.eed informed him that they were evolved as well.
With that question, she looked at him in shock.
"What? How did you know? How can you tell? I didn't sense anything from you?"
"What? Your brother isn't a supernatural?" asked Sun Kun.
"Supernatural? Is that how those who have acquired special abilities are called?" asked Lius.h.i.+.
"Yes..." replied his sister, still baffled. "Ah, turn right, then left."
As he continued to drive, zombies were ignored and ruthlessly ran over. They didn't use the turrets because the path was half cleared, and he didn't want to reveal them yet. The sound of them being hit didn't faze the car inoccupants. They barely felt it when they pa.s.sed under the wheels thanks to the high grade suspension. Zhang Hai was half focused on the discussion because he was very impressed by the vehicle.
"Is that why you left your room? Because you gained the ability to fight against the zombies?"
"Yes!" she said with a proud expression on her face. "I'll show you later when we reach the base."
"You said you didn't sense anything. What did you mean?"
"Supernaturals can sense each others energy fluctuations when they come in physical contact. Since you aren't one, how could you tell?"
"I'm sensitive."
"Don't think I haven't noticed that you keep avoiding giving clear answers to my questions" she said with a hint of frustration in her face and voice. "Second to the left, then right."
"Let's say I have awakened a big talent for engineering" he said while smirking at her.
Lius.h.i.+ didn't reveal his ability to Xiaotian until after they took in her sister. He was quite uncomfortable with revealing it to strangers, even if they were his beloved sister' subordinates.
"I started with an ordinary vehicle, and upgraded it in stages as I found adequate materials on the way." 'I wonder how much Xiaotian and Lu are going to tell to miss Yang? I never asked them to keep quiet about my abilities. I'll have to wait and ask them at Zhuying's camp.' "We aquired the firearms and high grade materials from a lost military convoy. The outfits were made from these materials. Now tell me how you've been."
For the rest of the trip, Zhuying briefly explained to her brother what she's done. From the discovery of her power to the formation of their survival group. She still insisted to wait until they reached their base to show him. She enjoyed teasing him by making him wait.
