Chapter 299 Dodder in the Apocalypse 8
Xu Yang is just an ordinary student and has no leadership skills.
In her previous life, after the apocalypse, she was just an ordinary person without any awakened superpowers. Although she had stayed at Feng Yan's base, she only knew that ordinary people like her could work to exchange for supplies.
She was unaware of the division of interests between the base's high-ranking leaders and the superhumans, and even if she wanted to refer to it, there was no way to do so.
Zhou Yue and Qi Renyang watched as the group argued and made a fuss for a long time, unable to decide what kind of treatment to give Feng Yan. They exchanged a glance and fell silent.
As soon as the meeting ended, they went to knock on the door next door.
Feng Yan opened the door and let him in. "What's wrong?"
After the two sat down, Qi Renyang said, "I don't think it's reliable for you to come with us. Why don't Zhou Yue and I go with you instead?"
Zhou Yue nodded repeatedly, "This team is no good. They've been discussing for so long and still haven't been able to decide on your treatment. If something big happens in the future, things will definitely fall apart."
Zhou Yue and Qi Renyang had previously followed Xu Yang and the others only to work together to escape from the school, as there were too many zombies inside.
During this process, the team members got along quite well and were relatively united.
Xu Yang also demonstrated considerable strength, acting decisively and ruthlessly. Faced with the sudden apocalypse and countless zombies, she remained calmer than the others.
Moreover, she has an extraordinary understanding of superpowers, and her predictions about zombie evolution are well-founded.
She even thought of establishing a survivor base early on, which shows her foresight.
That's why they thought following this team was a good idea, and they even wanted to bring Feng Yan in.
Who knew that just because of Feng Yan's treatment, they would discover that this team was unreliable.
Xu Yang has absolutely no leadership skills. Although he is quite capable, he is unable to control his subordinates.
She is decisive when facing zombies, but indecisive when handling team affairs.
If the leader is incompetent, there will definitely be a lot of trouble in the team in the future.
They didn't want to waste their energy on these messy disputes; their priority now was to improve their own strength.
Xu Yang's plans sound wonderful, but given the current situation, she has no chance of achieving them.
If she can't even lead such a small team, how will she possibly manage a larger group in the future?
Unless Feng Yan is willing to help her.
However, this is impossible. Feng Yan is busy taking care of his little princess. He doesn't have time to be a nanny for these people, especially since they are not even willing to show enough sincerity.
Feng Yan's abilities are beyond doubt. Whenever Zhou Yue and Qi Renyang encounter a problem they can't decide, they consult Feng Yan and always get good advice.
He always seems to handle everything calmly, which makes people feel at ease.
Zhou Yue and Qi Renyang just wanted to follow him. Regardless of how strong their superpowers were, they felt that having Feng Yan around was like having a pillar of support, which relaxed their tense nerves a lot.
Feng Yan nodded. "Okay."
Feng Yan still trusted Zhou Yue and Qi Renyang.
Perfect timing! He's too busy to be in two places at once, and Yun Qing would be scared if she stayed home alone. She'd be even more scared if he took her out. Now that Zhou Yue and Qi Renyang are here, he can leave one of them to look after the house.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yue and Qi Renyang immediately sprawled on the sofa, not intending to go back to the next room.
Xu Yang had just expressed her hope at the meeting that they could persuade Feng Yan to join, and they didn't want to go back now and be questioned and pressured by her.
Feng Yan didn't kick them out. "There's another bedroom available. You can tidy it up yourselves."
Zhou Yue and Qi Renyang exchanged a glance. The house had a two-bedroom, one-living room layout, and one bedroom was empty. That meant that he and Ruan Yunqing would share a room!
Wow, that's progressing really fast!
How exactly did he go from being annoyed by Ruan Yunqing to suddenly becoming someone who held his sweetheart in his arms and shared a bed with her?
I'm really curious!
Qi Renyang sat up straight and asked with a gossipy look, "Feng Yan, you took care of the little princess for so long and didn't fall in love with her, how come you fell in love with her as soon as the apocalypse came?"
Zhou Yue stroked his chin and sighed in a drawn-out tone, "A lone man and a lone woman, alone in a room, a hero rescuing a damsel in distress, sharing joys and sorrows..."
Feng Yan said expressionlessly, "Shut up!"
Zhou Yue & Qi Renyang: "...Okay."
Just as the two were about to get up to tidy up the room, Feng Yan suddenly frowned and said, "There's some noise!"
After saying that, he went straight to the bedroom to wake Yun Qing up.
Yun Qing had just fallen asleep when he woke her up. Still half asleep, she followed him to the living room.
At the same time, a knock sounded on the door, and Xu Yang shouted from outside, "Feng Yan, the zombie horde is coming! We have to get out of here!"
The zombie horde is terrifying; zombies keep coming in, seemingly endless.
However, people get tired, and even those with superpowers cannot use their abilities continuously for long periods of time, especially since their ability levels are still relatively low.
If you get overwhelmed by a zombie horde, you might never be able to escape.
Although this building is usually quiet, it hides some people. These living, breathing people will attract many zombies when the zombie horde arrives.
This is just an ordinary residential building; if there are too many zombies, it probably won't be able to hold them off.
Furthermore, it is still unknown how many of these zombies have evolved superpowers.
Xu Yang, having lived a second life, understands zombies better than anyone else. She knows that large-scale zombie hordes are commanded by high-ranking zombies.
Without knowing the exact level of the leading zombie, one must be even more cautious.
The door suddenly opened, and before Xu Yang could say anything, Feng Yan had already brushed past her with Yun Qing in his arms and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Zhou Yue and Qi Renyang followed closely behind.
Xu Yang was stunned for a moment before quickly leading her team to follow.
On the street, Feng Yan ran ahead, carrying Yun Qing as easily as if she were a chick, and even had time to comfort her, "It's okay."
Yun Qing wrapped her arms around his neck and cautiously peeked behind her. She saw an endless horde of zombies swarming towards them under the bright moonlight. Terrified, she turned pale and buried her face in his chest, trembling.
Feng Yan frowned, then said in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, I'll show you something beautiful."
As he spoke, he changed his posture, holding Yun Qing with one hand like he was holding a child, and then swung his palm backward.
A water dragon, accompanied by flashes of lightning, soared into the air and roared towards the horde of zombies behind it. The water dragon looked as if it were carved from crystal, beautiful and majestic, and instantly cleared out a large number of zombies.
Yun Qing had initially only squinted and glanced cautiously, but in the end, she couldn't help but widen her eyes, her pupils sparkling, and she even forgot her fear, "Dragon..."
Zhou Yue and Qi Renyang were dumbfounded. They both had superpowers, but why was your superpower so powerful?
Is this the power of a level three superpower?
No wonder they can run a bath every day without feeling it's a waste; they can afford to waste it!
Xu Yang was even more shocked than them. She had seen water-based superpowers before, but to be able to create a dragon so realistically, with such natural charm, as if it were alive, how strong must the superpower's control be?
Don't even mention that Feng Yan is only at level three; even higher-level water-based superpowers would find it difficult to achieve this!
She finally realized that Feng Yan was stronger than she had imagined.
However, she still reminded him, "Senior, this is the apocalypse, and danger is everywhere. Even if you are strong, you shouldn't waste your abilities like this."
She felt that although Feng Yan's strength had improved rapidly, he was ultimately inexperienced, which was why he acted so recklessly.
This is normal, after all, the apocalypse has only just begun.
Feng Yan politely replied, "Thank you for your concern, Miss Xu. I know what I'm doing and I wouldn't joke about Qingqing's safety."
The zombie horde doesn't seem to be as serious as expected, so he had some ideas and wanted to take the opportunity to test Yun Qing's courage a little.
