Chapter 7: Rescued from Danger by an Ability User

Zhuang Shi’s hands trembled as he gripped the gun. The shot he fired did hit, but it struck the cow’s rear, only causing a spurt of blood. For such a large cow, it was merely a temporary pain, not fatal, and instead, it enraged the beast.

“Moo—!”

The cow’s bellow carried an immense pressure, making everyone’s hearts clench.

Then, the large yellow cow charged headfirst into the front of the vehicle. If Xiao Xi hadn’t swiftly maneuvered the car back half a meter, the car would have been overturned by the bull’s horns.

Even though the car wasn’t flipped, it was still stalled, making it impossible to drive.

“Get out and run! Scatter!” Xiao Xi said, opening the door and exiting with swift movements.

Zhuang Shi hurriedly followed. However, as they exited on the left and right, they were blocked by the cow, front and back. He had no choice but to step onto the car window and climb over the roof.

Su Yan quickly opened the door, got out, and turned to pull Zhou Quan. Gao Lin also dragged Zhou Quan out. Chu Xihen was the last one.

As he was shifting in his seat, the large yellow cow in front of the car suddenly seemed as if it were subjected to a death of a thousand cuts. Blood splattered onto the car window, making him pause slightly.

Those who had gotten out of the car were frightened, Xiao Xi and Su Yan couldn’t help but scream.

At that moment, a herd of yellow cows rushed over from behind.

“Run!” Gao Lin shouted, pulling Zhou Quan to run forward, because the two cows blocking their path had suddenly been torn apart. They only needed to go around the corpses.

“No, Chu Xihen hasn’t come out yet!” Zhou Quan reached into the car. “Come out quickly, the cows behind…” Before he could finish speaking, a cow crashed into the rear of the car, causing the entire vehicle to move forward a bit.

Not only did the large yellow cow ram the car, but after it rammed, it raised its head and spewed a ball of fire at the car, immediately setting it ablaze.

“Oh my god!” Zhou Quan screamed, trembling with fear, but still, he didn’t give up on Chu Xihen, who was stuck inside the car. “Bro, hurry up, this car is going to explode!”

Chu Xihen wanted to hurry, but he was sitting on the far right. He had barely moved halfway when the car was hit by a cow, deforming the seat and trapping him.

Then, the rear of the car was ignited by the yellow cow spewing fire.

Just as he was about to tell Zhou Quan to leave him and run, he suddenly felt someone using an ability in their direction, so he stayed still.

In the next instant, the six of them were teleported to the highway, a hundred meters away.

However, their landing was awkward; all six of them tumbled together, as if they had been kicked from somewhere.

“Is anyone hurt? If not, get up and run quickly. The herd of cows is coming!” A familiar voice rang out. The six of them raised their heads to look.

“Mr. Hao?” Zhuang Shi’s eyes lit up when he saw Hao Ren.

They had encountered a team that came out to kill mutated species and find survivors, and they were saved by Hao Ren.

Currently, Hao Ren was definitely the leader of the ability users in the city, admired by everyone, especially the ordinary people he had saved at the airport. Zhuang Shi and Xiao Xi were among them.

“Mr. Hao, our boss suddenly fainted and is bleeding from his nose. Please go and take a look!” Wan Ming ran over from the front in a panic.

By this time, the six people on the ground had gradually stood up. Wan Ming saw Chu Xihen in the crowd at a glance.

“Why is it you? What are you doing running around? You’re such a troublemaker!” Wan Ming didn’t have a good look on his face when he saw Chu Xihen.

“Let’s talk about that later. Everyone, quickly go to the front. There’s a steep slope by the road. Hiding behind it will help you avoid the mutated cow herd.” Hao Ren had overused his ability and his face was as white as a ghost.

Although he was a game survivor and already possessed special abilities, all the levels he had painstakingly trained in the infinite world were reduced. Now, with the apocalypse upon them, everyone started with a level-one skill.

After Hao Ren finished speaking, the group immediately followed the light of the flashlight and ran forward, jumped to the side of the road after running for only a few dozen meters, and quickly climbed over a steep slope, sliding all the way to the bottom.

“Turn off the flashlights!” After everyone had descended the slope, Hao Ren gave another order.

The light from the flashlights went out instantly, and the bottom of the slope fell into darkness. Everyone was lying on the ground, waiting for the herd of cows to run past on the highway.

As the herd of cows passed the slope, the car not far away suddenly exploded. After a loud bang, flames soared into the sky. The herd of cows was frightened by the explosion and ran rumbling along the highway. The ground was shaking.

The shaking lasted for only a dozen seconds, then gradually faded away along the highway.

When it was completely inaudible, someone gently exhaled.

“Turn on the lights!” After Hao Ren spoke, flashlight beams lit up everywhere, illuminating a large area at the bottom of the slope.

Only then did Chu Xihen realize that this was a temporary camp chosen by Hao Ren and his group, and the tents had already been set up.

There was a river not far away, and the sound of the water could be heard after everything quieted down.

The location was well chosen. The wilderness was very dangerous after dark. In addition to mutated species that could fall from the sky at any time, there were also mutated animals running on the ground and mutated fish swimming in the water.

Because of the mutations, the previous food chain was broken. Mutated fish could swallow a cow, and mutated rabbits could bite crocodiles to death.

Therefore, a boundary between land and water was formed. Near the water, things in the water would not easily emerge, and things on the ground would not dare to approach the water’s edge casually.

Hao Ren’s camp was located right on this boundary, which was relatively safe.

“Mr. Hao, please come and see Mr. Lou. His nosebleed won’t stop, and now even his ears and eyes are bleeding!” Suddenly, a clear and melodious voice rang out from a tent in the distance, attracting the attention of everyone who had just come down the slope.

It was a boy with delicate features and a height of less than 1.8 meters, but his whole temperament was clean and pure, exuding the air of a scholar. Even though the light was a bit dim, his eyes were bright enough to give people a sense of hope.

He was another male protagonist in this novel world, Bai Jinli.

Upon hearing this, Hao Ren got up, asked others to arrange for the six people they had just saved, and then walked towards Bai Jinli.

Chu Xihen heard that Lou Su was injured and wanted to follow him to take a look, but was stopped by Wan Ming.

“You are not allowed to go. The boss is like this now because of saving you. You are a jinx. Stay away from the boss in the future. He already has someone suitable to take care of him.” Wan Ming’s attitude was terrible, as if he had a great hatred for Chu Xihen.

Zhou Quan couldn’t stand seeing the brother he just met being bullied. He got up from the ground, and the shorty had to raise his head to see Wan Ming’s face.

“Who are you scolding? Who’s the jinx? We didn’t know we would encounter danger here, and we just happened to be saved by your boss. It’s a coincidence, you know?” Zhou Quan roared fiercely, but his baby face was not intimidating at all.

Wan Ming glanced at Zhou Quan and said vulgarly: “Found a new lover in just one day? That’s good, the boss also plans to break up with you when he goes back. Now that he is in a coma, I will help him say it. From now on, you and the boss will have nothing to do with each other, do you understand?”

“Did he say he wanted to break up with me?” Chu Xihen asked expressionlessly.

His face was pale, he wore black-rimmed glasses, and his voice was soft, making him look like someone who was bullied and didn’t dare to speak loudly.

“Yes, he told me personally, but we were out killing mutated species at that time, and now he is unconscious again, so I just conveyed it to you directly. I hope you have some self-awareness, you are not worthy of our boss.” Wan Ming finished speaking and was about to leave.

Since he has already said so, Chu Xihen didn’t want to go see Lou Su anymore. Listening to what Bai Jinli said just now, Lou Su should be fine. It was just an excessive use of skills, resulting in a forced upgrade. Although the process was a bit scary, once he gets through it, his skills will be upgraded.

“Wait!” Gao Lin shouted at Wan Ming, “Who did you just say was someone’s lover?”

Gao Lin was different from Zhou Quan. He was a bit taller than Wan Ming, so he didn’t need to look up at him, and his eyes were filled with anger.

“What? Could it be that you and Chu Xihen are together too? You are not happy that you were not counted in… Ah!” Before Wan Ming could finish speaking, Gao Lin punched him to the ground.

But Wan Ming was an ability user, so this punch caught him off guard. After he got up, he moved to Gao Lin in front of him at a speed that was almost impossible for the naked eye to catch, and kicked Gao Lin away.

“Gao Lin!” Zhou Quan hurriedly ran over to help Gao Lin up.

Wan Ming used all his strength in this kick, directly causing Gao Lin to vomit blood.
