Ephemeral clouds and works

Chapter 9: The Sun Siblings

    

o change this situation, putting himself in an unassailable position. He could smoothly take over the power of the former sect master without causing their backlash, and he could still make the Duan f..."Aunty"

The speedster swallowed nervously and spoke.

"Huh Am I that old"

Her face darkened, and she spoke in a low voice.

"That's how we lured the zombies around the car."

"You still owe me your lives! How will you repay me"

Ripple stated plainly.

This sentence left the man speechless. Lian Ri glanced at the other party, then took the lead and got into the car. With a light press, the car started, and she was about to drive away from the underground parking lot.

But the woman stood in front of the car. Before Ripple could even react, the other party spoke first:

“My siblings and I are willing to follow you, repaying your life-saving grace. The outside world is in chaos now, one person cannot stand against it. You need help, my brother is fast, and I have the ability of perception. Because I had a premonition that we would meet a powerful leader here, so tonight we dared to come here.”

Hearing the woman's words, Lian Yi suddenly became interested. He glanced at the two of them and immediately understood their situation.

I can only say that this sister is smart enough. They should have been driven out during the second evolution, and happened to be surrounded by zombies when they were weak. Meeting her as a tasker is their good luck. I estimate that these two people died here in their previous life.

"Get in the car!"

Ripple directly gave up the driver's seat and moved to the passenger seat.

After looking at each other, the older sister sat in the driver's seat and her younger brother sat in the back. The vehicle quickly drove out of the underground parking garage.

My name is Wu Lianyi.

"Hello, Lianyi Jie, my name is Sun Wang, and my sister's name is Sun Yi. We are both from this city."

The eighteen-year-old bashful boy immediately introduced himself with his family name.

Ripples, where are you going now

Sun Yi asked.

Wu Lianyi sat in the car and only then did she think of an important problem, gasoline! The car ran out of gas, it was just a lump of iron. So she directly spoke:

"Get onto the expressway, past Fengyuan Bridge there's a gas station. Fill up your tank first. You two have nothing, you should get some supplies for yourselves!"

"Great!"

Sun Yi had already agreed, turned the car around, and rammed into the zombies lying across the road. She quickly sped from the auxiliary road onto the highway, heading towards the nearest gas station.

"You guys live around here, right How did you get kicked out"

Wu Lianyi asked faintly.

Watching Sun Yi skillfully turn the wheel and head onto the highway without using a navigation system, Wu Lianyi had a guess.

Sun Yi was still quite calm, but Sun Wang was a bit surprised. He instinctively asked:

"Ripple Sister, how did you know"

"A person's safety and familiarity zone is a one-kilometer radius centered around their residence, the place they frequent most. Just by mentioning it briefly, your sister would know the location of the gas station."

You two poor things, you must have a fever and be delirious. People were afraid you would turn into monsters, so they drove you out. If you were looking for supplies, you couldn't possibly not even have a bag, let alone any weapons to defend yourselves. At least carry a kitchen knife!

Sun Wang smiled a little embarrassedly. This bigwig really hit the nail on the head, and he got it all right.

After being chased out by their uncle, he and his sister arrived at the shopping mall relying on her sister's perception ability. They were preparing to find some food and get a car. Unfortunately, they were surrounded by zombies in the parking lot. It was still the sister who made a quick decision and followed this Ripples sister.

A bag of instant noodles and a bottle of mineral water were thrown into Sun Wang's arms. Sun Wang turned his head to look at Lian Yi, his eyes filled with surprise.

"It's time to pay up!"

Wu Lianyi doesn't associate with idle people.

"Thank you!"

Sun Wang and Sun Yi divided the food among themselves, satisfying their rumbling stomachs. They had also reached the gas station.

The ripples did not get off the car, she just gave the two people a knife each, the rest was up to them.

After observing their surroundings, the siblings quickly got out of the car, put away the gas pump, and slowly made their way into the convenience store at the gas station.

After the two figures completely disappeared, Ripples jumped out of the car and touched the oil tanker parked by the exit. Under the cover of night, she directly put the whole vehicle into space and then quickly got back in the car.

Half an hour later, the siblings each carrying a large bag, came out of the convenience store, pulled out gas cans, and got into their car. They realized that zombies had already surrounded them.

"Now go to the Meteorological Agency district, there are places to stay there."

Wu Lianyi reported the original owner's residence.

The car rammed into four or five zombies that had surrounded it first and then drove back to the previous neighborhood in a reckless manner.

Parking the car in a concealed location, they disposed of the two zombies that had surrounded them, and the trio successfully entered the apartment building.

While Yunrou, who was looking out from the second floor, saw Wu Lianyi return safely, even bringing back two people, she felt angry and helpless. Unfortunately, her own abilities were still too weak.

She didn't understand why her initial awakened ability was so weak. It must be because the quality of this body was too poor, she could only comfort herself that way. However, fortunately, the awakened ability was still very useful.

On their way up to the sixth floor, Wu Lianyi directly opened Room 601 and said:

"The owner of this house has turned into a zombie. You two stay here for now, I'm across the street. If anything happens, I'll find you."

Thank you, Lian Yi Jie!

Sun Wang immediately replied, and then the two siblings went into the room.

Ripple didn't want to reveal that she had a space too early, so she let the two go to the opposite side. She returned to her own rented apartment, only setting up a bed and kitchen supplies. She was preparing some simple rice balls to put in the space. Soon after, electricity, water, and gas would be cut off, eating cooked food would be a luxury.

The siblings, sharing Wu Lianyi's sentiment, cooked the rice they brought back and made the simplest seaweed rice balls.

Three days later, the zombies had adapted to sunlight and were able to move freely during the day. This increased the public's fear, and the government issued an announcement asking people living in the city to evacuate from the shelters.

After three more days of waiting, the roar of engines filled the air. Military green trucks drove into each district, slaughtering the walking corpses while evacuating survivors.

The scene was somewhat chaotic. Although the military was trying to clear the gathered zombies, the large crowd and the smell of blood were attracting more and more of them in waves. Gunfire never ceased, but it also seemed to attract even more zombies, creating a vicious cycle.

Wu Lianyi was not prepared to evacuate with the army, but when she looked out the window, she saw Yunrou's figure. The other party was actually hiding in this building.

“He’s really good at hiding, actually coming up with such a move as ‘hiding under the lamp’.” Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Wu Lianyi muttered to herself, then packed up everything in the room and knocked on the door, calling for the Sun siblings.

"Sister Li, are we evacuating with the army"

Sun Wang asked.

"It's a bit chaotic right now, it's best to wait. Their big, flashy evacuation has drawn in quite a lot of zombies."

Sun Yi also saw the situation downstairs, so she reminded them at the exit.

"We'll drive our own cars, follow the convoy, and leave this place first.".A new round of questioning began immediately, with Sheng Hui in a state of unconsciousness.The moment ripples entered space, she sensed danger. With a flick of the dagger in her hand, a monster besid...
