    Chapter 65 Anxiety

    Lin Yi and Zhang Xiong carefully avoided the zombies and returned the way they came. If they disturbed the zombies at this time, they would really be dead.

    Without any mishaps, the two safely returned to the car. Zhang Xiong very independently hummed and hawed as he moved all the useful things from the car to the other car.

    Lin Yi looked at the empty car that didn’t have a single hair left, “If you don’t leave anything behind, what will we do if we encounter zombies on the way back?”

    Zhang Xiong was stunned, “Oh right! I’ll go get a knife back.” Even at full speed, it would take almost a day to get back to the base. He should leave a knife for self-defense.

    Although this route has been cleared, zombies have long legs, they can run.

    Lin Yi felt his head buzzing, and he was about to lose his temper, “You only plan to take one knife, are you planning to let me go to my death with my bare hands when we encounter zombies?”

    “You…aren’t you injured?” Zhang Xiong said stupidly.

    To put it nicely, this person is honest and simple, but to put it harshly, he’s missing a screw in his brain, commonly known as—stupid.

    “Will zombies pity me because I’m injured and not bite me? Or will you bravely rush to the front to protect me, risking your life?”

    Lin Yi would not forget how they all acted like shrinking turtles just now. If something really happened, he could only rely on himself to carry it.

    “Oh! Oh…! Then I’ll help you get one too.”

    Lin Yi rolled his eyes, “I thank you, ha!”

    Zhang Xiong grinned, “Ha, you’re welcome, you’re welcome, you’re injured, it’s only right, it’s only right.”

    Lin Yi was speechless, how could this person not understand good or bad words!

    Zhang Xiong got out of the car and took back two handy machetes. Because they had to carry food when they went in, they took smaller weapons, and the slightly larger ones were left in the car for Zhang Xiong to choose from.

    He sat back in the car and closed the door. After waiting for a long time, there was no movement, “I’m ready, you can drive.”

    Lin Yi didn’t want to pay attention to him, he leaned back and rested, not showing any sign of leaving.

    Zhang Xiong asked again, “Why aren’t you leaving yet? Does your shoulder hurt so you can’t drive? Or should I drive!” He was hiding in the dark and didn’t miss the brutal scene of the zombie biting his shoulder. Ugh! It looked painful.

    He really envied those ability users who wouldn’t get infected. Even in that state, they were still fine here. If it were him, he would have been jumping around in some zombie horde long ago.

    Lin Yi was really convinced by this idiot, and said impatiently: “Are you really going back empty-handed like this? Are you going to be worried for two days, all for nothing?”

    “Otherwise? You don’t want to go in again, do you?” Zhang Xiong marveled at his tenacity, “You go if you want, I’m not going!”

    He finally managed to sneak back, he must be crazy. It’s not your backyard, running back and forth in it several times a day.

    “Am I crazy, going back again, I’m not going, I’ll just wait here.”

    “If you wait here, the food won’t grow legs and fly into your arms.”

    Lin Yi was so angry that he exploded, turned his head abruptly and stared at him fiercely, his eyes were red, “Are you really stupid or pretending to be stupid? Don’t pretend to be stupid here.”

    After roaring this sentence, he calmed down a little, and said slowly: “We came out on a mission together, and we’ll go back together when the time comes. Even if we don’t have credit, we’ve worked hard, right? The base will have to give us some compensation anyway.”

    “You are too naive, you don’t understand the rules of the base. The strong eat the weak, they only look at performance, there is no such thing as compensation for hard work, and this time no matter who takes out the food, it’s half for themselves, and half handed over to the base. No one will be willing to share a little with you, and the base is even less likely to give it to you.”

    Lin Yi didn’t know how this idiot could say that he was naive. Okay, he admitted that he didn’t understand the situation at the base, but that was only because he had just arrived not long ago.

    Lin Yi started the car quickly as if venting his anger, and floored the accelerator. Zhang Xiong was pushed heavily back on the back of the chair by a sudden force of inertia. He said innocently: “Brother Lin, although we are leaving, there is no need to be so anxious, ha, your hand is still injured, pay attention to safety, don’t avoid the zombie ambush, and end up dying in a car accident.”

    He thought silently, Lin Yi, this ability user, won’t die so easily from a fall, but his mortal body can’t withstand a fall.

    “Shut your crow’s mouth!” Nothing good comes out of a dog’s mouth, he doesn’t expect him to be good at all.

    The sky was dimly lit, and the dawn was slightly rising. The darkness before dawn gradually faded, and the morning light draped a colorful veil over the earth.

    Zhang Xiong hugged the machete tightly and looked through the frosted car window at the colorful morning, so beautiful that it made people feel peaceful happiness. The car body shook violently, breaking Zhang Xiong’s beautiful dream of immersion in imagination.

    It’s all an illusion, the scorching sun at noon will make you understand what a boiling feeling is.

    He patted his dazed face with one hand to make himself a little clearer, and asked Lin Yi: “What’s wrong, does the wound hurt? Or should I drive?”

    Lin Yi put down his right hand, which was twitching and somewhat out of control, and steered the steering wheel with one hand, “Shut up! I’m just sleepy, I was distracted for a moment, aren’t you sleepy?”

    “Oh! Sleepy, ah, I understand, I understand, then you wake up quickly, ha, be careful.”

    He was also a little sleepy. The car was swaying and shaking on the road, especially since he didn’t rest well last night. It’s normal to be sleepy.

    Not long after, there was a sharp turn ahead, and the car drove straight past without slowing down. Seeing that it was about to rush out of the boundary and fall straight off the cliff, Zhang Xiong shouted nervously in a panic: “Lin…Lin Yi! Watch…watch the road! What are you doing?”

    Lin Yi slammed the steering wheel, and an emergency turn barely twisted back along the boundary line, extremely horrified. After the car returned to stable and normal driving, Zhang Xiong broke out in a cold sweat, swallowed hard, and said again: “Or…or, I’ll drive.”

    “No need, I’m just hungry, I was distracted for a moment.”

    Lin Yi calmly pulled the collar up hard, covering the blackened and bleeding wound on his shoulder. His eyes flickered with unease and nervousness, and his lowered right hand clenched into a fist helplessly.

    The numbness and stiffness spreading from his shoulder to his arm made his heart surge and unable to calm down. He felt incomparable panic, and tried to twist his neck to the left. There was a sense of resistance like rusty aging, and he became more and more panicked.

    The third time, the wheels went straight into an abandoned oil tank, and the car body tilted severely to one side, almost overturning. Zhang Xiong couldn’t sit still, got up and went forward to grab it, “Stop, I’ll drive, you take a good rest.”

    Not only did Lin Yi not stop, but he suddenly accelerated and threw Zhang Xiong back, roaring: “Sit tight! Don’t move around, we’ll be there soon.”

    Zhang Xiong was so frightened that he didn’t dare to speak. He fastened his seat belt, curled up and grabbed the handle on the top tightly. Did Lin Yi want to kill him on purpose, just because he didn’t go out to help him before?

    But you can’t blame him for that, right? In that scene, who would dare to take the initiative to go up?

    One moment he’s sleepy, the next he’s hungry, are these reasons for not driving properly? He won’t die easily, but he’s just thinking about taking his old life!
