It was already the afternoon two days later when the car finally covered a quater of the distance towards the safe Base. By this time Shu Ning would have of corse travelled further if he was on his own. With a child on board though there had to be way more breaks to eat, drink and sleep. And to move about as A-Yong tended to get figedy sitting down too long. Unfortunately too long meant about every hour or so. At least it gave him ample time to consume the sizeable amount of nucleo he had collected all this time, making his power level skyrocket. Now low ranking zombie's were like ants purposefully crawling underneath his boots.
Shu Ning slowly steered the car around the buildings of the next town, making sure to stay clear of the highway and other popular locations. As luck would have it though, he was forced to switch to a lane passing by a major hospital as his prefered route had a large tree lying in the middle of the street. The car was also almost out of fuel and the sky looked dark and unwelcome.
"Please do not let it rain on top of things."
Shu Ning's mumbling got drowned out by a sudden bang of thunder though and A-Yong, who had been silently watching the world blurr past his window, flinched in surprise. Only seconds later the sky above opened up it's dam and a rush of rain fell around them.
Sighing to himself, Shu Ning carefully steered the car on a less slipery part of the street and was just about to lay a reassuring hand on the child's shoulder when a stream of lightning split the world ahead of them. This time even he flinched in surprise.
This was not normal. Of that Shu Ning was certain. It was not the first time he had been caught in a storm after all. He leaned forward in his seat to get a better view of outside but couldn't find anything noticable happening anymore. It was only when the buildings and trees gave way to the large hospital that Shu Ning could see what was going on.
In front of the hospital's huge glas doors stood a group of young men, wearing well fitting clothes in black and brown. They were gathered in a half-circle around a tall and sturdy man, protectivelly isolating him from the two zombie's who had just jumped out of an open window of the medical institution. Purple lightening flittered around the fists of the male, which also explained the sudden change in weather and from time to time a ball of fire or a bout of metallic needles would fly towards the location of the zombie's.
Shu Ning could now immediately recognize that the two zombie's were of higher skill than those common low ranking ones. One of them even seemed to be stronger and smarter than the one he had fought inside of the supermarket. This was also the reason he shortly considered just driving past and leaving them to their own devices, but just as he had thought that a small hand grabbed the edges of his sleeve and big green eyes stared at him.
"Do you want to save them A-Yong?"
Shu Ning imploringly looked into Shi Yong's eyes and seeing the child hesitantly nod he made up his mind. With a stronger press on the accelerator the car shot forward, slingering a little when he hit the brake to stop right beside the shocked humans.
Before the car came to a complete standstill, Shu Ning had already hoisted Shi Yong and the bag into his arms and jumped out of the vehicle. In a short moment they were already drenched to the bones by the rain.
Not caring about this though, he made his way through the tight circle of humans, using his ability to push away those that were standing in his way. When Shu Ning finally arrived infront of the man with thunder ability he unceremoniously pushed Shi Yong into the other's arms and dropped the bag to their feet. The male looked at the kid in obvious bewilderment and was about to say something when one of the bystanding people cried out in alarm.
One of the zombie's had vanished from the spot it had been in before and the other was rushing at them in lightning speed. Shu Ning didn't hesitate to push the agitated humans out of his way and erected another barrier to block of the creature's attack. Then he comressed the invisible wall into a more compact form and rammed it into it's snarling mouth.
