Armed Train in the Apocalypse

Chapter 787 - 451: If You Don’t Chase, Neither Will I_2

Could it be that his ability has failed?

The wild guesses made Zou Ji more anxious.

Zhang Hui beside him let out an almost imperceptible sigh. He had barely used his conversation with plants ability to evade the perimeter soldiers, only to be intercepted. It was clear the opponent had some detection abilities they weren’t aware of.

Moreover, these could be precise to the individual.

It seemed the idea to surrender was correct; facing such an enemy, the populace had no chance to win.

Besides, maybe these outsiders could turn them back to normal humans?

Thinking this, Zhang Hui felt much calmer, gesturing a "plan proceeds as usual" sign to Zou Ji behind him, then walked forward under the mocking gaze of Tong Zizhan and Gao Yuan.

Seeing this gesture, Zou Ji’s tension eased significantly, his eyes stared at his feet as he recalled Uncle Huanzhi, who had been cut into wooden stakes, a fierce intent boiling in his heart, feeling a tingle all over.

His attack means were quite limited; only within three meters could he take down the opponent.

The distance was getting closer, from five meters to four, and then to three.

Zou Ji simulated in his mind over and over again the fierce killing moves to take down Tong Zizhan and Gao Yuan within a second.

When he was two meters close, his heart began to pound with excitement.

Taking the next step, Zou Ji suppressed his killing intent and glanced at Zhang Hui beside him.

The latter took a deep breath, stepped half a step forward, and with three pairs of variedly expressive eyes watching, fell to his knees with a thud, his wooden head hitting Tong Zizhan’s shoe.

Even though the latter took a step back, he didn’t hit it.

But he managed to keep Tong Zizhan and Gao Yuan fixed on the spot.

"I, Zhang Hui, on behalf of Break Barrel and Tall Building camps, surrender completely, and brought the main culprit who attacked you!"

Tong Zizhan and Gao Yuan were momentarily blank-minded, but they had seen such things often, and then turned their gaze to Zou Ji beside them.

Zou Ji was completely dumbfounded.

Is this how to draw attention?

He admitted that Tong Zizhan and Gao Yuan’s attention was drawn away, but his own attention was also caught!

Was the act of surrendering needed to be this realistic?

If the other party intended to kill you, you wouldn’t have time to get up, right?

Didn’t Uncle Huanzhi say a man’s knees are as precious as gold?

Facing the probing gaze of Tong Zizhan and Gao Yuan, Zou Ji felt a tingling on his scalp.

Something’s wrong, something’s nine parts wrong.

A quick mental flashback to his conversations with Zhang Hui, though it seemed normal and logical, every point exuded a kind of strangeness.

Have I been sold out?

These despicable, shameful, cunning people!

What to do now, is the question?

"Fight?" "Or run?"

Various thoughts frantically flashed through his mind, Zou Ji felt like his head was about to be cooked by the heat.

Engaged in this inner turmoil, the youth didn’t notice the strange looks from Tong Zizhan and Gao Yuan.

The two of them exchanged glances for quite a while, finally, Tong Zizhan sighed, placed a hand on the youth’s shoulder, who then, like a startled deer, knocked away Tong Zizhan’s hand, and then threw a handful of poisoned needles.

Without looking back, he turned and ran.

Tong Zizhan raised a hand, his wide coat sweeping, letting the poisoned needles fall to the ground.

He turned his palm over, looked at the tiny scratch on it, glanced at the fleeing youth with apprehension, "Runs fast, this kid surely has more poisoned weapons, shouldn’t chase."

Beside him, Gao Yuan was shocked, "You’re poisoned?"

Tong Zizhan put his hand behind his back, nodded heavily.

"If you’re not chasing, I won’t either, after all, I’m just a ’Gatherer’, catching up won’t end well."

Gao Yuan said with a serious face.

Tong Zizhan chuckled, "No worries, let a kid run, but we caught a big fish here."

Zhang Hui on the ground widened his pupils, did this horse actually run away?

Are the three sticks on your waist just for show?!

There’s definitely a conspiracy here!

But no matter how many doubts and unwillingness were in his heart, he had to swallow it. Knowing too much is never a good thing.

...

As Zou Ji ran, Su Huan stretched lazily, stepping into the air, driven by the energy torrent, each step glided him dozens to hundreds of meters away.

Zou Ji was someone he left behind.

Not exactly a pawn, just didn’t feel like bothering.

Li Huanzhi only asked him to take care of Xiaoya, not Zou Ji, he wouldn’t bother.

It was just Yu Yue’s kind heart, telling Tong Zizhan and Gao Yuan to spare him a word.

Otherwise, the kid would’ve been strung up and beaten by them long ago.

However, his appearance, differing greatly from the usual populace, was reported to Su Huan by the two.

"No plant organs, physical quality greatly enhanced?"

"Interesting."

Su Huan first did a wide scan, found nothing, then drifted a while behind Zou Ji, determined the general direction before starting "Pan-energy Perception" for a deep scan.

With the omnipresent pan energy’s properties, new discoveries emerged quickly.

"Hiding underground, no wonder it couldn’t be found."

Su Huan’s eyes brightened slightly, leaving Zou Ji, he landed accurately before the cave.

"Where are my believers?"

A rolling thunderous sound came from within the cave, carrying an even more domineering pressure than before.

But the terrifying momentum didn’t even stir the conductor’s hair.

With a slight smile, he stepped inside, "Don’t worry, it’s coming soon."

At a distance, Zou Ji’s lungs felt like they would burst, but he dared not stop his steps, not knowing why Tong Zizhan and Gao Yuan weren’t chasing him, ’perhaps they’re casting a long line to catch a big fish?’ thinking of this possibility, Zou Ji ran faster, only under "God’s" shelter could he possibly survive.

While running, he suddenly felt a pang of heart palpitations.

Like the terrifying oppressive feeling when the apocalypse came over a year ago, inducing a sense of impending doom and despair.

Before he regained his senses from the terror, a thunderous sound came from beneath his feet, transmitting through the few-meter-thick humus directly to his feet!

The surrounding plants conveyed tremendous fear to him, a feeling only sensed when the long-haired man entered camp some time ago.

Could it be that disaster really has descended?

Zou Ji stood up, desperately suppressing his wildly beating heart, quickly heading towards the cave location.

As he got closer to the cave, the vibrations underfoot intensified.

Zou Ji dared not go further, looked around, and climbed a lower tree, lying on the shaking trunk looking towards the cave direction.

A large section of the cave had collapsed, the front piled with rubble, revealing a bigger pit at the back.

Inside, dust billowed, occasionally a rumble of boulders slipping down.

"Is this... fighting?"

Even God has enemies?

Zou Ji’s unease grew stronger. Though he couldn’t see, he could sense "God’s" state was dire, almost like... on the verge of dying!

Thinking of this possibility, Zou Ji dug his fingers into the tree trunk, eyes fixed on the cave side.

If "God" dies, his power source would be gone too.

"Crack——"

The youth’s eyes widened, feeling a rope snapping sound by his ears, the original faint connection with God completely severed.

A sharp pain surged through his limbs, the severe pain blacking out his vision directly on the trunk.

The tidal wave of pain finally surged into his mind.

The previously interrupted thoughts settled into calmness at this moment.

He could never avenge Uncle Huanzhi anymore.

And Xiaoya...

He could never have the chance to rescue Xiaoya.

Thinking of this result, the youth felt a chill all over.

As his mind was completely engulfed by the pain, he saw this scene.

A majestic figure emerged from the fog, black shirt with a bit of dust, slightly dirty long hair, carrying an aura more domineering and grand than God!

And he was dragging a massive vine as thick as a bucket!

’Even God can die...’

The youth, filled with intense reluctance, closed his eyes.

Su Huan surprisedly glanced in this direction, pinched his chin, and with a light flick of his fingers.

The energy from the air gathered around the youth, forcibly suppressing the anomalies back.

The brows knitted in pain gradually relaxed.
