8: Qin Boss Shelter
In such an environment, no one could sleep, and Tian Ming was no exception.
The two girls leaned in a corner, staring at the huge glass window.
In the night sky, the star ring formed after gaia ultraman’s fragmentation reflected the sun’s light, like a dazzling necklace suspended in the deep night sky.
The scenery outside the window was so magnificent, so beautiful, yet this beauty instilled a deep sense of fear.
“Can we really escape?” one of the girls asked.
Tian Ming leaned against the wall and slowly said, “I don’t know!”
“Brother, what’s your name?”
“Tian Ming!”
“I’m Wan Yu!” the girl said.
“I’m Lin Yue!” the other girl also announced her name.
“You two, hurry and rest.
If you want to escape, you must conserve your energy.”
The two girls huddled together and closed their eyes, and after an unknown amount of time, they finally managed to fall asleep.
Early the next morning, Lin Yue opened her eyes, but Tian Ming was no longer in the room, and Lin Yue immediately panicked.
She quickly nudged Wan Yu beside her and said in a flustered voice.
“Wan Yu, Wan Yu, wake up, Brother Tian Ming is gone!”
Just as the two were panicking, the door was pushed open, and Tian Ming entered, holding a gun and carrying a backpack.
Inside the backpack were nearly ten kilograms of copper, which he had extracted from the electrical wires in the building.
He had tested it; it could directly reconstruct bullets in the magazine.
The composition of bullets was very simple: iron, gunpowder, and a copper casing.
The elemental composition of high-energy gunpowder was nitrogen, which was abundant in the air.
His control range was five meters, and there was enough iron five meters underground.
Ten kilograms of copper could allow the weapon in his hand to fire indefinitely, as the bullet casings could also be recycled.
“Brother Tian Ming, where did you go?”
“I went downstairs and found a car.
Which of you can drive?” Tian Ming asked, looking at the two girls.
Wan Yu and Lin Yue exchanged glances, and then Wan Yu spoke, “I can, but I’m not proficient.”
“It’s okay, no problem.
Just grip the steering wheel and ram forward.
They’re all zombies, so don’t be polite.”
After speaking, he took off his backpack and pulled out soft bread, instant noodles, and two bottles of juice.
“Eat first, then we’ll leave.”
It was incredible that such abundant food was available during the Apocalypse.
The two girls didn’t hesitate and quickly devoured the food.
Tian Ming had gone downstairs before dawn; he had entered a supermarket to find samples.
Once he replicated a sample, he wouldn’t have to worry about the future.
Supplies were the most important; although he couldn’t take much with him, as long as he replicated the samples, he would be able to obtain essential survival items at any time.
After eating, the three went downstairs.
Tian Ming found a spacious family car with a sunroof in the underground garage.
The large car was filled with various daily necessities.
He handed the keys to Wan Yu and said, “I’ll be responsible for clearing the zombies chasing us; you’re responsible for driving.
Just drive out of the city along the main road.”
Wan Yu took the keys, took a deep breath, and got into the driver’s seat.
Lin Yue sat in the passenger seat, nervously looking ahead.
Tian Ming, on the other hand, held his gun, with half his body sticking out of the sunroof.
“Lin Yue, hold onto my legs so I don’t get thrown out.
Wan Yu, you can drive fast, but don’t brake suddenly, understand?”
Wan Yu nodded and said, “Okay!”
The engine roared, and the car suddenly sped out of the parking lot.
The zombies on the road were attracted and swarmed towards the car.
Tian Ming raised his gun and unleashed a volley of shots at the zombies.
Bullets whistled out, knocking down the zombies one after another.
Although his shooting skills were poor, the bullet casing recycling and infinite ammunition compensated for the deficiencies in his shooting technique.
Wan Yu drove the car, speeding along the main road.
Lin Yue, meanwhile, clung tightly to Tian Ming’s lower body, afraid that something might happen to him.
“Lin Yue, you don’t have to hold on so tightly; you’re going to pull my pants off.”
Lin Yue looked up, her face instantly flushed, and she quickly pulled up his pants.
The scene was exciting, but somewhat awkward.
Lin Yue pulled a strap from her waist, tied it around Tian Ming’s waist, and then continued to cling tightly to his legs.
Both Lin Yue and Wan Yu were so nervous that they didn’t even notice that Tian Ming didn’t need to change magazines when shooting.
Just then, a car blocked their path.
Wan Yu slammed on the brakes, and the car skidded, leaving a long mark on the ground.
Because of the sudden braking, Tian Ming was almost thrown out.
The three were still shaken when they saw a zombie staggering out from under the car.
Clang!
With a soft clang, the zombie’s exposed skin had a metallic luster.
Tian Ming was instantly shocked; his abilities came from gaia ultraman, and these viruses also came from gaia ultraman.
Part of the zombie’s skin had already metalized, and it was clear that some of them could use abilities similar to elemental manipulation.
Tian Ming held down the trigger, and with a rapid burst, the zombie’s head was shattered, and it fell to the ground.
“What are you waiting for? Turn, and drive over the median.” Tian Ming said.
Wan Yu nodded repeatedly and started the car again.
The vehicle quickly drove towards the outskirts of the city.
As they moved further away from the city center, the number of zombies decreased.
As the vehicle left the city, all three breathed a sigh of relief; they had finally escaped.
After leaving the city, they drove for a while longer.
Ahead was an abandoned steel mill.
“Wan Yu, go to the scrap steel mill!” Tian Ming said.
Wan Yu drove the car into the abandoned steel mill.
A large group of survivors had gathered here, and soon, two burly men stopped the three’s car.
After the car stopped, Tian Ming got out, holding his gun.
Seeing the gun in Tian Ming’s hand, the two men’s faces showed a hint of apprehension.
“This is Boss Qin’s Shelter.
Everyone entering the Shelter must hand over the supplies they bring, which will be uniformly distributed by Boss Qin.
This is the rule.” The man stepped forward and said to Tian Ming.
Wan Yu and Lin Yue had also gotten out of the car.
Wan Yu walked over and whispered, “That Boss Qin should be Qin Biao, the owner of Qin’s Transportation Company.”
“You know him?”
“I’ve met him.
My previous company was in logistics, so we had dealings.
Everyone in his company is a hooligan.”
“Okay, I understand.
You two follow me; they won’t dare to do anything to me.”
Tian Ming stepped forward and said to the man, “My car is full of food and water.
You say hand it over, and I hand it over?
You need to ask if the guy in my hand agrees.”
When dealing with thugs, you must never be afraid.
In the Apocalypse, with no order, if your weapon is good, your back is straight.
Tian Ming raised the gun in his hand, pointing it at the two burly men.
Soon, more than thirty men gradually emerged, surrounding Tian Ming and the two girls, cutting off all escape.
“You two wait in the car; don’t come down.” Tian Ming said to Wan Yu and Lin Yue.
A man walked out from the crowd; his face was dark, and a thick gold chain, as thick as a thumb, hung around his neck.
He slowly took a step forward.
“Brother, having a gun makes you great, huh?
Even if you shoot all your bullets, how many can you kill?
The city is infested with zombies; lives aren’t worth much now.
Cooperate obediently, and at least you can live.”
