The Central City is located to the east of the Dead City, more than 2,000 kilometers away, and was built radiating outward from the original capital of China.

Actually, if there were cars and highways, this distance wouldn't be a big deal, and it would only take three days at most. But now... it's hard to say.

Not only was there no sign of the expressway, but even the original national and provincial roads had long been destroyed by natural disasters and no one had repaired them. It was considered good luck to occasionally see a short stretch of relatively flat road.

Su Tang and his team spent most of their time driving in the wilderness. When they encountered mountain roads or dense forests, Xiaoguai would diligently remind them and they would avoid them in advance. There was no other way. There were only four of them. Qu Yi was still a child with little fighting ability. Although Yang Lifan could barely protect himself, he did so without encountering any big guys...

Facing this situation, Su Tang was fine. When she decided to go to Central City with Qu Yi and the others, she had already prepared herself mentally, knowing that there would be many difficulties along the way. In fact, they had enough food and drink, and they had a car to travel, which was much better than she expected.

Ren Xiao felt a bit of a headache.

He was used to traveling alone, so he was naturally not used to it and felt restricted when he suddenly had to drag a bag.

How can the speed of the car compare to that of his talisman paper.

In the past, when we encountered mutant beasts, we could quickly get rid of them and just move on, but now we have to engage in a battle.

After most of the day, his face looked much darker.

Su Tang noticed it, but he didn't intend to pay any attention to it.

How can it be that he came to me on his own initiative but didn't even have this little awareness!

She was concerned about the mood of Qu Yi and Yang Lifan. The two half-grown children knew that they had slowed down the journey and were naturally uncomfortable. Especially Yang Lifan, who considered himself a man but had to rely on others for help from time to time, and his self-esteem was greatly hit.

After finding a suitable place at night, the four of them got off the car and prepared to camp. Su Tang patted him on the shoulder and said, "You are not good at using a knife. Let's study together tonight what weapon is suitable for you!"

Yang Lifan was startled, then nodded vigorously.

After finishing this, she found Ren Xiao who was setting up the tent.

"Ren Xiao, you don't need to keep watch at night."

Hearing the hidden meaning in her words, Ren Xiao asked, "Do you have any plans?"

Su Tang glanced at Qu Yi who was trying to move things from the car. "I don't have any plans, but didn't you say that your master has decided to accept Qu Yi as his disciple? Then why don't you start teaching her some basic skills now? We still have a way to Central City, so we can't waste this time. Besides, the more she learns, the better she will be at protecting herself. It's better than you protecting her all the time. What do you think?"

Ren Xiao sighed, "What's the big deal? Don't worry, I have the same plan without you telling me. Back then, when I was her age, I could already face two zombies alone without losing. Although..."

Su Tang twitched his lips, hummed a few times, and said hurriedly, "You go ahead and do your work, I'll go help move the things!"

Even after she turned around and walked some distance away, she could still hear Ren Xiao's dissatisfied muttering.

Su Tang wiped his sweat.

This guy is a chatterbox! If we let him keep talking, I guess we won’t be able to set up the tent before dawn!

Now, there's only one last thing left!

First help Qu Yi and the others unload the sleeping bags, food and water, and arrange for them to deal with the mutant beasts and prepare to make a fire for barbecue.

She stood at the rear of the car and spoke slowly, "I say, you don't plan to stay in here forever, do you? Don't you feel that there is not enough oxygen and you have difficulty breathing?"

There was no movement for a long time.

She narrowed her eyes and decided to start. At this time, the bottom layer of the trunk was slowly lifted up, and Zhang Chenxi crawled out of the flat and narrow compartment in a very twisted flat position...

For a long time, he didn't dare to move. How could it be easy?

My whole body is numb!

But it was still discovered, what a tragedy!

He looked at Su Tang, who was standing in front of him with his arms crossed and a half-smile on his face, with resentment, "You knew it a long time ago, didn't you? Then why didn't you say it earlier? You made me hold it in for so long..."

He raised his eyebrows, "You stole my car, wasted my gas, and I protected you, so it's still my fault?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chenxi immediately smiled and said, "No, no, it's all my fault! Hehe, haha, well, you see, I'm out now. Although it's inevitable to waste fuel, I can be a free thug, which is definitely useful!"

Su Tang waved his hand. "Okay, tell me why you are so sneaky. If you tell us clearly, we won't refuse to give you a ride. At most, we will charge you some labor fee. I believe you can afford it!"

Zhang Chenxi touched the back of his head helplessly, "How could that be! I'm not afraid that you won't give me a ride, I'm afraid that my dad won't let us go. They decided to settle down in the Dead City depending on the situation, but I don't want to. That place is terribly remote, it's not even as good as the Minghu base, what's the point... I've always wanted to go to the Central City, but he wouldn't agree. And just as I heard that you were going, I decided to do it first and ask for permission later." The situation in the Dead City was almost stabilized, and the people on Meng Huo's side were generally reliable, and his father was a quiet person, so it was safer to stay. In this way, he could put his worries aside.

As he spoke, Su Tang was also thinking.

In fact, taking him with them would ensure their safety.

It's nothing more than a waste of fuel.

However, the reserves provided by Meng Huo were sufficient to support them to the base on the road.

Still a good deal.

Besides, the person is already here, it would be unreasonable not to take him with you.

So he nodded, took him to the campfire that Yang Lifan and the others had already lit, and briefly told him his story.

Naturally, no one objected to the sudden appearance of a thug.

Zhang Chenxi was finally officially accepted into the team.

However, he is much more than just a thug in the team, and everyone soon discovers that this man is more useful than they thought!

In addition to his superpowers, Zhang Chenxi is also an excellent fighter.

His fighting skills are not just for show, but real killing skills. Although he is facing a mutant beast, his moves have been improved and are not stiff. With superpowers and close combat, he pursues a sure-hit strike, and his moves are steady, accurate and ruthless, and no one in the team can match him!

Su Tang asked about it and it turned out that most of what he learned came from his father, and Zhang Feng was an outstanding special forces soldier in a certain brigade before the outbreak of the apocalypse.

Of the four people, except Ren Xiao who did not follow this route, the others benefited greatly from him and learned a lot of moves. Su Tang made significant progress because of his speed ability. He discarded the useless parts of the sword technique, which made it more powerful! Qu Yize was weak, so he focused on dodging, which was also quite effective.

Yang Lifan's progress is the slowest.

It's not that he didn't work hard, but he was also practicing using the iron whip that Su Tang had specially made for him from other weapons. It was not easy to use a two-meter-long iron whip smoothly, not to mention that Su Tang also embedded the monkey claw he got when he hunted with Meng Huo and others, forming a hook that was more than one meter long. Wherever the whip hits, it will definitely tear off a large piece of the mutant beast, including its skin and flesh. If it is used skillfully and hits the mutant beast's weak points such as the aorta, it is not impossible to kill it with one blow!

Of course, Yang Lifan cannot reach this level now.

But he worked very hard.

He worked so hard that even Zhang Chenxi was amazed, thinking that he was not so hardworking even when he was bullied by his father!

For Yang Lifan, if you are willing to work hard, you will naturally get rewards. After more than a month, he not only used the iron whip well, but also combined with the footwork taught by Zhang Chenxi and his own abilities, he was no longer in an embarrassing situation where he could only protect himself when facing ordinary mutant beasts.

Seeing how powerful his iron whip was, Zhang Chenxi was very envious and kept asking Su Tang to help him make a weapon.

Su Tang rubbed his forehead helplessly.

This was also thanks to the fact that people in the apocalypse used some kind of energy blocks to replace electrical tools, which not only doubled the sharpness, but also eliminated the need for those large tools used for fine grinding. It was also thanks to Meng Huo who prepared everything for her at the time, and later she used the space to install it. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to meet their requirements!

Zhang Chenxi's weapon, she made a set of crescent-shaped flying knives according to his ability. They are larger than ordinary flying knives, but very thin and extremely sharp. Both ends are open, and after being skilled in operation, it is not a problem to cut off the head of a mutant beast with one knife. Even if it is a large beast, two or three knives can strangle it at the same time, and the opponent will never escape.

When Zhang Chenxi got the set of knives, he was so excited that he praised Su Tang to bits.

It wasn't just words, Su Tang's chest suddenly felt warm.

After that, he became like a little child. Even when there were no mutant beasts, he couldn't help but practice with targets like trees. He was no less enthusiastic than Yang Lifan!

Seeing that they liked their wounds, Su Tang was also very happy.

But she still prefers wood to metal.

Whenever I came across nice trees on the road, I couldn't help but start working on them. I also made some things in the spirit of research, the most popular of which was the pathfinder mouse.

The body is less than a foot long and very flexible. Only the wheels at the bottom are made of metal, and the rest are all made of wood. However, the outer layer is painted with the juice of a mutant plant, which is quite strong after solidification.

When encountering obstacles or holes, it can perform simple detection and feedback. This set of detection equipment was provided by Ren Xiao. At first, it was mainly used for cave exploration. However, after being modified by Su Tang, it is obviously more powerful. Of course, its biggest function is to give an alarm when encountering ** creatures.

The alarm was displayed directly on the remote control in Su Tang's hand, and she could also use it to preliminarily determine the number of creatures.

The power is the same energy block as the tool used to make the device.

This is the only regret.

The time it can last is too short. If the road conditions are good, it can last about two hours. If the conditions are bad, it may only last half an hour.

Fortunately, they still have Xiaoguai.

The air and underground complement each other. In addition to the need for training, they also avoided areas where mutant beasts were densely populated.

The pathfinder mouse inspired Su Tang's inspiration for energy. After discussing with Yang Lifan, they began to conduct experiments. They wanted to use the medicine to guide the energy in the crystal core. The energy in the crystal core is compressed. If it can be guided out for external use, rather than just for human absorption, then the effect will definitely be huge!

Of course, this is a very difficult experiment, and they can only explore it to the best of their ability without expecting immediate results.

The most obvious result is the level of supernatural power.

When they were nearly halfway through the journey and had been walking for more than a month, Qu Yi and Yang Lifan successively advanced to the fourth level. Although Su Tang and Zhang Chenxi did not advance, they also felt the energy in their bodies becoming more and more powerful.

The most noteworthy thing is Xiaoguai, the guy who always eats first-level crystal cores as snacks, finally advanced to the next level after a long sleep!

It is now quite huge and can even carry a person on its back!

Seeing this, everyone was moved.

But Xiaoguai is very principled. Except for Su Tang, he refuses to let anyone get close to his back. He just flaps his big wings and flies away!

So, under several envious gazes, Su Tang fully experienced the privileges of being the master!
