Chapter 77 Heavy Snow
DAY95
Worried that Wang Qiang would send another guard to chase them, Qin Yuan and Lin Yun found a place outside G City and had Lu Yuan switch to a large RV. When Lu Yuan released this modified, oversized RV, Du Wenqing immediately started swearing.
However, Du Wenqing was the first person to know that Qin Yuan and Lin Yun had evolved superpowers, so he assumed that this was Lu Yuan's superpower and didn't think much of it. He just marveled in his heart that this superpower was a bit too powerful.
The eight people dared not delay. Qin Yuan and Lin Yun, who had been confined to the base to recuperate, drove the way, while Lu Yuan and the other five took a nap in the RV. Du Wenqing, whose situation was still unclear, was obediently tied to the sofa and unable to move.
Around noon, Lu Yuan was woken up by the cold. When he woke up, the car was already parked. He looked around and saw that Du Wenqing was curled up asleep on the sofa opposite him, and Gu Nanfeng and the other three were still asleep on the two double beds in the RV.
Walking into the driver's seat, he didn't see Qin Yuan and Lin Yun. He glanced at the dashboard; the car's heater was on, but it still couldn't keep out the bone-chilling cold. Sure enough, the cold in the south is always like a magical attack.
Lu Yuan looked up and glanced out the windshield. The outside was a vast expanse of white, with large snowflakes constantly falling from the sky. He went back into the car and sat back on the sofa where he had slept before. He wiped the window and tried to see what was outside, but his breath quickly froze into ice flowers on the window, blocking his view once again.
"Holy crap, so much snow?" Yang Xiao, who had also been woken up by the cold, wrapped himself in the small blanket that came with the RV bed. Ignoring Zhong Qiang, who immediately curled up into a ball because there was no blanket, he breathed on his hands to warm them and went up to Lu Yuan with a grin, saying, "Hey, Dad Lu, how about a thick coat?"
"Wait a minute." Lu Yuan realized that they were all still wearing short-sleeved T-shirts and shorts, so he immediately called out his spatial panel and started preparing warm clothes for everyone.
Just as he and Yang Xiao finished putting on their thick clothes, the carriage door opened, and Qin Yuan and Lin Yun, still wearing summer clothes, shook off the snowflakes from their clothes by the door and boarded the train, each carrying four large bags.
"You two are awake?" Qin Yuan's voice was soft, but he sounded perfectly normal, seemingly unaffected by the sudden drop in temperature. If it weren't for the icy snow crystals still clinging to their shoes, Lu Yuan wouldn't have even noticed they'd been walking in the snow.
"We just entered N County when it started snowing, and the snow is getting heavier and heavier. The roads here are also difficult to travel, so Lao Qin and I found this gas station to take shelter temporarily." Lin Yun put down the food in his hand. They had just gone to the convenience store in the gas station to find some food, but this gas station was quite remote and small, and there wasn't much food inside. Fortunately, there was plenty of bottled water, so they planned to go back and get some more later. Qin Yuan also successfully filled up the car with gas.
"Take a hot shower and change into your thick clothes first." Lu Yuan guessed that the two of them had evolved their superpowers, so their physical condition had also evolved. But it was getting cold so quickly that day, and these two were currently the strongest fighters in their small team. He was still worried and told them to take a hot shower and change into the thick clothes he had taken out.
Yang Xiao covered the three people on the bed who were still asleep with the thick blanket that Lu Yuan had taken out. Just as he was about to cover Du Wenqing, who was curled up on the sofa, Du Wenqing suddenly opened his eyes.
Yang Xiao was startled when he suddenly opened his eyes, and couldn't help but cry out, which woke up Gu Nanfeng, who was still sleeping.
As soon as Gu Nanfeng woke up, he felt the temperature had dropped significantly. He saw the clothes by the bed, quickly grabbed them, and put them on. Pei Sihao, who was next to him, was still asleep. Because Gu Nanfeng had gotten up, the cold air had seeped into the blankets, so he quickly wrapped himself tighter in the blankets and fell back asleep. Zhong Qiang, on the other bed, turned over, wrapped himself tighter in the blankets, and continued to sleep.
Du Wenqing didn't seem to be in a daze; rather, he looked like he was about to go berserk. He seemed to be struggling with himself, his jaw clenched tightly, and thick veins gradually appeared on his face and his bound arms.
“This rope can’t hold him up.” Qin Yuan immediately called to Lin Yun, and the two of them grabbed a long down jacket and dragged Du Wenqing out of the RV.
Lu Yuan and the others originally wanted to follow and take a look, but Lin Yun stopped them by closing the door, telling them to wait in the car before closing the door and turning to leave.
“None of us have evolved superpowers. Captain Du isn’t a zombie. Captain Qin and Captain Lin should be able to control him.” Gu Nanfeng was quite clear-headed. He looked at the several large plastic bags that Qin Yuan and the others had brought back, which were filled with water and dry food such as biscuits and bread.
It was almost noon, and he originally wanted to take out some food for everyone to have lunch. But after thinking about it, he went to the small refrigerator that came with the RV, opened it, and found it was indeed full of food.
"There's food in here?" Lu Yuan himself hadn't expected the RV's refrigerator to be so full of food. Since it had been brought into the space along with the RV, the food in the refrigerator was all very fresh. Lu Yuan glanced at the blue tattoo on his fingertip and couldn't help but sigh, "This person is really thoughtful."
"I'll prepare lunch first. Team Leader Qin and Team Leader Lin have been driving all morning, they must be tired. Let them eat and rest for a while when they get back." Gu Nanfeng took out the ingredients from the refrigerator and started preparing lunch for everyone. He said, "If this snow doesn't stop, it's not a good idea for us to stay in the RV forever. We'll have to find a safer place later."
Yang Xiao knew he couldn't help with cooking at all, so he could only squat to the side and organize the food Qin Yuan and the others had brought back from the convenience store. Lu Yuan, on the other hand, went to Gu Nanfeng's side and helped with some simple ingredient preparation.
About half an hour later, the RV door was opened again, and Qin Yuan and Lin Yun returned, carrying the unconscious Du Wenqing. As soon as they entered, Qin Yuan excitedly shouted, "Old Du has also evolved superpowers!"
Lu Yuan and the other two were shocked. They never expected that they could develop superpowers after being away for half an hour.
Zhong Qiang and Pei Sihao, who were still asleep, were also awakened by the noise. Zhong Qiang rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked, "What? What has evolved?"
"Old Du's superpower is earth-type!" Qin Yuan's expression at this moment was probably even more excited than when he himself evolved his superpower. Lin Yun ignored him and helped the unconscious Du Wenqing lie down on the sofa, then wrapped him in a down jacket.
"Old Du broke free of the rope just now, and I used my superpower to restrain him. But he fought back, and a huge rock suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking my fire!" Qin Yuan rattled off a string of words, describing it as if it were a scene from a chuunibyou manga, which made Lu Yuan and the other four people not quite believe him.
Actually, since leaving G City, the eight of them haven't had a proper chat about their superpower evolution. Lu Yuan and the other four had fought a fierce battle with zombies in the villa area with Zhang Hao the night before, rested for a few hours, and then sneaked into the base at night to rescue Qin Yuan and the others.
After everyone safely left G City and changed cars, the five of them fell asleep. So to this day, they only saw Qin Yuan light a cigarette with his finger and have no idea what kind of superpowers Qin Yuan and Lin Yun had evolved, or why they evolved them.
"Don't rush, go wash up first, we'll eat and chat later." Gu Nanfeng glanced at the heavy snow outside. They couldn't leave anytime soon, and if there were pursuers behind them, they probably wouldn't be able to catch up, so he wasn't too nervous.
Lu Yuan shared the same idea. He urged Qin Yuan and Lin Yun, who were dressed in light clothing and had gone out twice, to quickly take a hot shower and change into warmer clothes. They could discuss the matter of superpower evolution during lunch.
