C30 Chapter 30

If he truly joined forces with his team to enter the Light Base, there's a good chance he'd end up handing them over to Huo San. Despite being a superpowered individual, Huo San's abilities were remarkably weak. It didn't matter if he was considered the strongest in the world; he was just too unsightly!

Huo San exchanged a glance with Zeng Qiang, clearly displeased. His irritation stemmed not only from Zeng Qiang's silence but also from Jiang Ruan's lack of appreciation for their situation.

Zeng Qiang cleared his throat and said with an awkward tone, "Since Miss Jiang seems to be so out of touch, there's not much left to discuss. Once we're at the base, everyone will have to fend for themselves. With Brother Huo, we'll be living in luxury villas, while you might end up in the common residential area. Don't say we didn't offer you a chance."

"Still, we've been companions on this journey. When we get to the base, I'll make sure to have a word with my brother to ensure you get by a little more comfortably," Huo San boasted, puffing out his chest and casting a sidelong glance at Jiang Ruan.

In the post-apocalyptic world, what woman wouldn't want the security of a man's protection? Huo San was convinced that Jiang Ruan would eventually come begging to him. When that time came...

His sinister gaze flickered momentarily but was caught by Jiang Ruan. With so few survivors left, the presence of such a lowlife was a stain on humanity's standards.

Jiang Ruan shrugged nonchalantly. "Whatever. If there's nothing else, we'll be on our way."

"Faang Yu, is the gas all set?" Jiang Ruan asked as she approached the vehicle. They had all been concerned about her, especially with Huo San looking like bad news. Had it not been for Faang Yu's intervention, they would have already confronted the group.

"It's all set. We can head out whenever you're ready," Faang Yu replied, having filled the car. He had intended to take everything but decided to leave some behind for the other survivors.

Crammed into the car, which had previously been just spacious enough, Jiang Ruan noted, "Looks like it's time for us to upgrade to a larger vehicle."

"When we get to the nearby town, we'll stop by a dealership and pick out a car," Hu Lang said, wedged into a corner with some effort.

Jiang Ruan chuckled, "No need. We might just spot a good one on the side of the road." Indeed, they hadn't come across many impressive cars or large off-road vehicles on their journey.

The logic resonated with everyone, so they dropped the subject. Qin Yuan rummaged through his bag, pulling out food, and offered, "Let's all have something to eat."

Jiang Ruan distributed some water, making it clear that everyone could drink their fill. There was no need to ration for Zeng Qiang's group; they had plenty for themselves.

The same went for the food. Even though everyone was conserving, no one was stingy. They all shared equally, a sense of fairness prevailing among them.

Once they had eaten, they set off in their vehicle. Before long, the four cars trailing them had caught up.

The mood inside Faang Yu's car was exceptionally congenial. In these apocalyptic times, where fear was a constant companion, she found a rare sense of ease and warmth in the company of these people.

The road ahead was smooth, and when they encountered a few zombies, Liu Dajun dispatched them single-handedly. It was only then that Jiang Ruan realized that each member of their group possessed supernatural abilities!

This revelation was astonishing. All six individuals in their group, including Jiang Ruan, were paranormals. Such a fact, if known, would surely incite envy in others.

Liu Dajun had superhuman strength, effortlessly taking down zombies. Hu Lang wielded fire-based powers, albeit currently limited to a flame the size of a basketball. Liu Xiong was a steel mutant, able to transform his body and anything he touched into steel.

The shock nearly rendered Jiang Ruan speechless, but her formidable resilience helped her quickly regain composure.
