CHAPTER 977: CHAPTER 230: WHEN THE HEART CALLS, ECHOES ANSWER (PART 2)

"Alright kids, Uncle is going to work at the prison now. Have a wonderful day."

After saying that, he left in a good mood.

Leaving behind Feifei, secretly sorrowful.

Oh heavens, oh earth.

Feifei clutched the thick stack of exam papers, raised her head, and looked towards the sky, striving not to let the tears fall.

Could this be the hardship one must endure to become a big sister?

Su Xiaoxiao stifled her laughter, this is indeed the ’bad uncle’ in the children’s minds.

...

On the abandoned highway.

"Now our direction is towards that part of Mengshan."

In the modified car driving along the road, Pang Yuan was driving, Ji Qiuyue carefully looking at the map, Sun Ya and Chen Ningning had already left with Lin Fan, making it slightly uncomfortable for others.

Pang Yuan said, "I’ve been to the area around Mengshan before; the scenery is quite nice, with lots of natural caves on the mountain, the water in the caves is very clear, there are even fish. Could there be survivors hiding there?"

Ji Qiuyue said, "I don’t know, it’s possible. The locals are certainly more familiar with that environment; if truly there’s no other way to survive, they’d definitely go there."

Right at that moment.

At the highway intersection.

A motorcycle appeared, startling Pang Yuan, who quickly slammed on the brakes, and the motorcycle rider apparently shocked by the sudden scare, flipped over.

"Damn... hit someone."

Pang Yuan was momentarily speechless.

There are so few living people, yet a traffic accident still occurred.

"Grr... grr..."

"Grr... grr..."

A low growl of zombies could be heard.

Then, on that small road, there were zombies running, not a lot, just about a dozen or so.

"You go check on that person, be careful."

Ji Qiuyue opened the car door, preparing to deal with those zombies.

The person who flipped over on the ground seemed to be alright, hurriedly got up, trying to lift the motorcycle and flee.

"Don’t panic, it’s okay." Pang Yuan held onto the other person’s motorcycle.

The other person, looking at the mysterious figure in war armor, felt puzzled yet nervous. It was such a strange combination that anyone would be tense.

Until he saw Ji Qiuyue casually killing zombies like they were ants.

The helmeted person was truly dumbfounded.

"They’re just ordinary zombies," Ji Qiuyue said calmly as she approached, then looked at the person in front, "Can you take off your helmet, please?"

The other person obediently complied.

Revealing a very ordinary-looking male face, perhaps from constantly avoiding zombies, he appeared very fatigued.

"Are you by yourself?" Ji Qiuyue could sense the other person was an Awakener, that feeling was unmistakable, likely a disguised Awakener, and as for why there were zombies chasing him, it was probably the noise from the motorcycle that attracted them.

With a little imagination, it seemed understandable why he would ride a motorcycle.

If too many zombies were attracted, he could toss the motorcycle aside immediately and just stand to the side, pretending nothing happened.

"Yes, I’m alone."

Wu Hao had never thought that someone could kill zombies, and do it so effortlessly, with total ease, without any difficulty.

"Don’t be nervous, we’re not bad people, we mean no harm to you," Ji Qiuyue said simply.

In the brief conversation,

she learned the other person’s name was Wu Hao, a very common and generic name, and also told the other about his ability. Wu Hao was very surprised, as he’d always felt that his situation was kind of strange.

Now he realized he was an Awakener.

"Do you want to go to the shelter, the Huangshi Sunshine Shelter, where there are many people like you, living there is very safe, no need to live in fear."

Ji Qiuyue earnestly promoted the concept of the shelter.

Wu Hao’s eyes showed a hint of yearning, the apocalypse had truly pushed his spirit to the brink, having seen many terrifying scenes, recalling them always felt extremely frightening.

"No, I have things to do."

He declined.

Ji Qiuyue said, "Though you can disguise, not all zombies can be fooled, danger still exists, and the people you might meet could be darker than zombies."

It was hard to understand his thoughts.

Reaching a safe haven and enjoying life is surely better than wandering outside, right?

Wu Hao said, "I know, but I want to find my mom."

Ji Qiuyue: ...

Pang Yuan: ...

They hadn’t expected the reason he didn’t want to go to the shelter was to find his mother, but honestly... they wanted to say that even the strong young people struggle to survive in this apocalypse.

Your mother might not be alive.

"I know you’re probably thinking, with how the apocalypse has developed, can my mom still be alive, right? Actually, I don’t know either, but I just want to find her, I feel the heavens will protect her," Wu Hao said.

Ji Qiuyue nodded, "Yes, the heavens often protect good people."

Such words they couldn’t bring themselves to say.

In their eyes, it seemed impossible, but for a son to persistently strive to live, searching for his mother, using it as motivation to move forward.

Ji Qiuyue took out a satellite phone, "Take this, it has a number inside, if you encounter danger, tell him your location, and he will come to rescue you."

"But won’t you be out of phones?" Wu Hao asked.

Ji Qiuyue said, "We have two, you keep it, just remember if you’re in danger, call him, his name is Lin Fan, and he will appear in front of you in no time."

The path was chosen by the other person, and anyone with a bit of conscience, when faced with such a matter, would only admire the other’s actions.
