Tang En did not sleep for long either. He soon woke up in a daze.
The two took their food from the supermarket and went to the open-air parking lot at the side. They found an old black car covered in dust.
This time, it was obvious that no one was using the car.
Tang En checked the condition of the car and found that it was refueled. The two discussed and threw the food into the trunk. They left the supermarket and continued to drive towards the viaduct.
The morning mist had a hazy and choking smell. The car drove on the road.
Tang En turned on the car stereo and swayed along with the music.
Lu Sheng picked up a pen and paper and began to write and draw on his notebook.
The car drove all the way into the afternoon.
The two of them went to five possible gathering points, but none of them found anything.
They found a gas station midway and refueled. Unfortunately, they did not meet anyone for the whole day.
Tang En, who was a little tired, finally drove the car into a somewhat remote street.
The street was mostly filled with places like hair salons and massage parlors. Fallen posters and plastic bags rolled along the quiet street.
Weeds grew on both sides of the street. Occasionally, abandoned cars could be seen lying on the side of the road.
"Let's find a place to rest here. There are all office buildings in front. We can still find a place to stay," Tang En said helplessly.
After searching for a whole day, they did not meet a third person. This made him feel a little depressed.
"Whatever. We have enough food. We just need to stock up on gasoline, "Lu Sheng replied.
"As long as the gas station is still operating, there won't be a problem," Tang En replied. "There's a pharmacy over there. I'll look around and see if there are any anti-inflammatory drugs."
"Okay, go. Call me if you need anything." Lu Sheng put down the notebook and stretched his wrists. He picked up a bottle of orange juice from the seat beside him and took a sip.
Whoosh.
Suddenly, a slight noise came from a clothing store on the street.
Tang En looked over and saw a petite figure flash past the store.
"Someone's there!" He exclaimed unconsciously.
The petite figure ran behind the display window of the clothing store and waved at them. That kind of quick movement was obviously different from those weird guys.
Lu Sheng looked over and saw the silhouette's face clearly.
It was a Lolita who was at most 13 or 14 years old. She was wearing a dirty white lace dress, and her long blonde hair was messy. It seemed that she hadn't washed it for a long time, and there were red and blue patches of paint on her face. The white stockings on her legs were also torn, and there were holes of different sizes everywhere.
"Look behind her. We can't go there." Lu Sheng frowned.
At this time, Tang En also noticed that a few gloomy and blurry figures were slowly walking over from behind the loli.
That kind of slow movement was one of those fellows' characteristics!
He calculated the route. If he wanted to save the girl, he had to enter the shop from the side and pass through those guys. Only then could he save the loli from behind the display window.
"I don't care anymore!" Twain was almost going crazy. It was not easy for him to meet a living person, so he definitely would not give up.
Without waiting for Lu Sheng to reply, he stopped the car, opened the door, and rushed over.
Lu Sheng was not as agitated as Tang En. He was still not sure if the girl was really alive. Rushing over like this might actually cause more trouble and danger.
Soon, he saw Tang En find a piece of cloth to cover his eyes. He felt around and found himself in the clothing shop. He did not look like a wounded person at all.
After a while, Tang En actually pulled the Lolita out of the group of people.
Lu Sheng leaned against the car and looked at the two people in the shop from afar. Tang En and the Lolita had already left the shop.
"Not bad." Lu Sheng smiled.
He had guessed correctly. Tang En was indeed not ordinary. This guy who looked like an ordinary person, after the baptism of six years of loneliness, actually had a trace of unusual characteristics.
He quietly waited for the two people to quarrel and the car to approach.
Whoosh.
Suddenly, three or four people rushed out of a shop on the right. There were both men and women among them. They all had disheveled hair and dirty bodies. Their eyes were bloodshot and crazed through their hair.
An old woman with brown hair waved her hands and screamed, "You blasphemer, you must be punished!!"
The men and women beside her, no matter how tall or short, fat or skinny, all held various weapons in their hands. Some had machetes, some had shovels, but only she held a double-barreled shotgun.
"Catch that b * tch! She betrayed us, she betrayed God!! "
A group of people rushed to chase after Tang En and the Lolita.
At first, when Tang En saw so many living people, he was surprised and happy. However, after the Lolita explained, his expression changed. He turned around and ran away with the Lolita instead of running towards Lu Sheng.
Obviously, he did not want to implicate Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng was taking a sip of orange juice when he saw this scene. He casually put the orange juice on the roof of the car.
Bang.
He opened the trunk and took out a baseball bat. He turned and walked towards the group of people.
The group was in a hurry to chase after Tang En and did not notice that someone was quickly approaching from behind.
Bang!
Lu Sheng smashed the bat on the back of a man's head.
The man fainted and fell to the ground.
The others immediately noticed Lu Sheng.
"Another blasphemer. Kill him!! Kill him!! "
The old woman screamed.
Two of the people beside her let out strange screeches and charged at Lu Sheng, brandishing their machetes.
Lu Sheng swung the baseball bat. His superhuman speed allowed him to easily dodge the machetes of the two people and hit them on the head.
The two people fell to the ground.
Lu Sheng continued forward. He suddenly dodged to the left.
Bang!!
The shotgun bullet flew past his side and shattered the window of the car behind him.
Bang!!
Lu Sheng hit the old woman on the head. Her eyes rolled back and blood flowed down her head. She immediately fell to the ground.
"Devil!! Devil!! "
"He killed the bishop!!"
"Kill him! Hahahaha!! "
The rest of the people did not collapse. Instead, they waved their weapons and surrounded Lu Sheng.
"Run! These people are crazy!! "Twain came back from a distance and shouted at Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it in his mouth. He moved sideways to avoid a man's slash and smashed the baseball bat out.
The man's body trembled and his head caved in. He fell to the ground and fainted.
Lu Sheng turned around and the bat landed hard on another man's neck.
The man staggered and fell to the ground holding his neck, unable to move.
The last person roared and rushed towards Lu Sheng. But he was flung away by Twain. The heavy baseball bat whistled and hit the man's temple.
Bang!
He fell to the ground with a thud.
Everything was quiet.
Lu Sheng took out a lighter and lit the cigarette in his mouth. He turned and walked towards Twain and Lolita.
Twain stood in front of Lolita with a long shovel in his hand. He looked like he was ready to rush over at any time.
He saw that so many people were easily taken care of by Lu Sheng.
His mouth was so wide open that a goose egg could fit in it.
Lolita's mouth was also wide open. She looked up at the approaching Lu Sheng in a daze. Their movements and postures were indescribably compatible.
They stood in a row like dumbfounded minions.
Lu Sheng took a puff and walked to the two.
"Are you done? It's time to go. "
"Uh … Okay … Okay …" Twain pulled Lolita and followed Lu Sheng into the car.
The car started moving again.
This time it was Lu Sheng who drove. He finished the cigarette in a few puffs and threw the butt out of the car window. He exhaled gently and the smoke was quickly dispersed by the wind outside the car window.
"I don't like to smoke, but I smoked a lot in the past. It's natural to start smoking." Lu Sheng could see that Lolita was nervous and casually explained. It was true. Thomas used to be a smoker.
"I don't like to smoke either. It's just that … Thomas, you didn't say you were so good!" Twain was a little excited and danced in the front passenger seat.
"It's not that I'm good, it's that those people are too weak. They look like a bunch of people with weapons in their hands, but in reality, it's a mess." Lu Sheng answered as he drove. "There's no coordination, no order. They just swarm up."
"That's still very good!" Twain said excitedly. "Can you teach me? That kind of fighting! "
"Of course." Lu Sheng nodded. "Then, it's time to talk about you. Little one. "He turned his gaze and looked at Lolita sitting in the back.
To be exact, the girl was already a teenager. She was more than 1.5 meters tall and had slightly developed curves. She was clearly not a Lolita anymore.
"My … My name is Annie … Thank you for saving me." The girl timidly said in a small voice.
"Why were you being chased by those people?" Twain asked the key point bluntly.
"I … I … stole the food they used to worship the gods …" Annie lowered her head and said in embarrassment.
"Worship the gods? What god are they worshiping? "Twain asked.
"I don't know … But they don't even have a statue … They only have a clay embryo that was squeezed by hand." Annie answered. She kept looking at Lu Sheng as she spoke.
The way Lu Sheng defeated so many people had been deeply engraved in her mind.
"So it's a fake cult?" Lu Sheng asked casually.
"I don't know either …" Annie shook her head.
Screech.
The car stopped at the entrance of a large, arched mall.
There were a few large colorful dolls in front of the mall's entrance. They were little lambs and pigs. The meter-tall lambs and pigs were slightly faded in color and looked a little old, but they were still intact.
Inside the pitch-black mall, the doors were open and it was quiet. There was a vague sense of terror that slowly spread through his heart.
"Buda Mall." Twain looked up and read out the signboard above the mall.
"This is the most likely gathering place in the vicinity, if you don't count the cultists just now." Lu Sheng said casually.
"Do you want to take a look?" Twain asked.
"Go find something that can be used. Batteries would be the best. It would be even better if there are solar panels." Lu Sheng slowly drove the car to an empty space at the side where it was convenient to enter and exit. He then turned off the car and opened the door.
"If you guys are tired, you can stay in the car and rest. I can go alone. "He turned around and said.
"I'll go with you!" Twain opened the door and got out of the car without another word.
Annie hesitated for a moment and wanted to follow. But Twain stopped her.
"You rest here. I'll be back soon. It's best if you hide in the car and don't let anyone find you, understand?" Twain urged.
"Yes!" Annie nodded heavily.
Lu Sheng had already put on a pair of piercing gloves from the back of the car. Compared to a baseball bat and a machete, this was more suitable for him.
He needed to find more people to find the whereabouts of his family. Also, finding the root cause of why the world had become like this was also one of his goals.
