Chapter 108: Parting ways

The party of four and Zhou Xingfeng lead the group of survivors to leave S City in order to avoid more trouble. As soon as they exit the fringe suburbs, they set a course for R City's safe zone.

As Huo Zaiyuan's party refrains from using the main highways, and R City's safe zone is located in the northern suburbs of the place; it means the two groups who met and stayed together for the last few days will now have to part ways.

At the intersection that splits the asphalt road and the small dirt road, both truck and off-road vehicle slow to a stop. Huo Zaiyuan, Li Qing and Zhou Xingfeng exits their respective vehicles to bid each other goodbye.

"On the way to Q City, you must be careful. Although it is the apocalypse now, I believe that one day, us brothers will have the opportunity to reunite once again." Zhou Xingfeng states firmly, staring at the other two youths with suspiciously shining eyes.

"Of course. You and everyone else must also be careful." Li Qing says and pats his shoulder.

"Don't worry. With my powers, I will definitely be able to protect them." Nodding his head, Xingfeng raises a clenched fist. With a bit of concentration, a faint sheen of red light seeps out of his skin and encases his fist.

During the surprise skirmish earlier, he relied on this sudden rise of power to reduce that heavy sledgehammer to pieces, then assisted Long Zhanye in defeating the guy and other lackeys.

"Huo Jiabao did mention that each person's power manifests differently. We also have no idea where his originated from. As for how it manifests, before we have a clear understanding of these powers, don't rely on it too much." Huo Zaiyuan advises. "Although R City is a militaristic place, with how the world is right now, you must be cautious in everything."

"Un, little Yuan, I'm really still not used to you lecturing me in matters. Hehe...I really miss the wild and unrestrained Huo Zaiyuan of the past." Saying thus, Zhou Xingfeng taps a fist on Huo Zaiyuan's shoulder, a way of greeting they used between them before all these happened.

"Humans, sooner or later we all need to mature. Weren't you also a simple-minded person in the past?" Smiling softly, Huo Zaiyuan lifts a hand and returns the tap.

"Under the heavens, there are no banquets that last forever. Let us part temporarily here!" Waving to his friends, Zhou Xingfeng turns around and climbs back into the truck.

The truck and off-road vehicle's engines roar to life at the same time, each driving down their respective lanes. Meeting and parting again in this short period of time, all of them look forward to reuniting in the future.

Now with the four men separated from the larger group, the black car accelerates, speed gradually increasing as it bounds forward. Thus commences the long journey to Q City.

In the backseat of the car, Huo Zaiyuan holds a map of the entire country. Upon this map, a glaring red marker has been used to indicate the state of each city using OO, XX and \\. OO represents cities with established safe zones or ones that have joined hands with another to establish one, and has been deemed secure. XX represents military districts that have been confirmed to be breached by zombies. These places have fallen to enemy hands and the danger within these cities is high. \\ represents military districts that have lost communication with other bases and their current condition is unclear. Hence, the risk factor of these places is unknown.

S City is currently classified under \\ status. According to what they saw when circling around it once, when the apocalypse occurred, the entire city was thrown into confusion. A few Underworld gangs grouped together to break into the military district, seizing the base and thus, controlling the entire S City. The small group Huo Jiabao gathered and brought to the school is amongst the gangsters residing within the military base.
