Apocalypse: I rescued the big boss with millions of supplies

Chapter 161 Han Xijun and Lu Qingrou

Chapter 161

In the pitch-black night sky, a flash of light suddenly appeared in the sight of the returning convoy members.

"Rou Rou!" Han Xijun sat in the car, looking at the location of the fire, her heart filled with anxiety. "Gangzi, why did our camp suddenly catch fire?"

Gangzi drove faster, his mind also filled with worry for his teammates who were still at the camp.

"Boss, don't worry. Miss Qingrou is very capable, and besides, Feifei and Chengzi are with us. They'll be fine," Han Yi, the man sitting next to Han Xijun, comforted her.

Although Han Yi was comforting Han Xijun, his gaze remained fixed on the firelight ahead.

Lu Qingrou is a level 5 ability user with three elemental abilities: lightning, water, and space. How could she let the fire burn their car?

Wang Feifei is slightly weaker, but she is still a level four wind-type healing ability user, and she also has some strange methods. Cheng Zi is also a level four metal-type telepathic ability user.

But if they weren't in danger, why is the location of that fire exactly the same as their camp location? It can't be a coincidence, can it?

They agreed on a meeting place, and even if it changed, Chengzi would definitely notify them in advance.

Chengzi's telepathic ability allows him to communicate with other ability users in his mind within a certain range. He can even create a small group chat in his mind if the ability users are close by.

Just like a telephone, this ability is incredibly convenient in a post-apocalyptic world where communication systems have collapsed.

"Something's fishy, ​​we need to be careful." As the team's strategist, Han Yi paid closer attention to the changes in information around him than anyone else.

“You’re right,” Han Yi’s reminder calmed Han Xijun down. Aside from being a little flustered at first because she was worried about Lu Qingrou’s safety, she quickly noticed the suspicious points in the matter.

“Chengzi didn’t inform us, but this happened at the camp. Gangzi and I will go check it out first. Han Yi, you stay here with the men.”

“If Gangzi and I don’t return with the others in an hour, we’ll meet up at Anling Base,” Han Xijun said.

As the team leader, he was responsible for everyone's lives and couldn't lead them to their deaths because of his own selfishness. Knowing there was a problem, he still led everyone on the risk.

"Boss, you..." The others in the team tried to stop him, but were interrupted by Han Xijun in the next second.

"Rou Rou, Fei Fei, and Cheng Zi are also my teammates. I will not abandon any of them if their deaths are uncertain," Han Xijun said firmly.

The others in the group were deeply moved when they heard Han Xijun's words.

After the apocalypse, some of them were originally Han Xijun's people, while others were rescued by Han Xijun, Lu Qingrou, and others and joined the team.

Han Xijun possesses powerful supernatural abilities, and many of them have been saved by him. If it weren't for his guidance, they wouldn't have been able to travel all the way from S City to here.

"After arriving at Anling Base, barring any unforeseen circumstances, we should be able to reach Qingdu Base in about a week by car," Han Xijun said.

Besides his initial teammates, many of his group members were people he met along the way, all from Qingdu. Along the way, some died, some left, but everyone shared the same goal: to return to Qingdu and find their families.

"Gangzi and I will go to the camp to find out what's going on. If there are no problems, we'll be back soon." Han Xijun nodded to Han Yi.

"I'll leave the team to you while I'm gone."

Han Yi is a member of the Han family. Although the two are related by blood for more than four generations, strictly speaking, Han Yi is his cousin. He trusts Han Yi completely.

Han Yi nodded. "Be careful and come back as soon as possible."

Personally, he didn't want Han Xijun to go over there because the firelight ahead looked suspicious. But Han Xijun was right; as the team leader, abandoning his team members like that would only discourage them.

Moreover, Han Yi followed Han Xijun the whole way, which shows that he may have initially brought Lu Qingrou along because of Long Yangyang's roommate.

However, through countless life-and-death experiences, Han Xijun's feelings for Lu Qingrou have evolved from strangers to teammates, from unfamiliarity to admiration, and now Han Xijun has even developed feelings for Lu Qingrou.

Otherwise, Han Xijun wouldn't have lost her composure like that just now.

If it weren't for the responsibility to the others in the team, Han Xijun might have rushed over to save them from the start. Han Yi and the other two people in the car got out.

The next second, Gangzi drove Han Xijun at high speed towards the fire.

Han Xijun had her own reasons for bringing Gangzi along. Gangzi's name was Chen Gang, and he was brothers with Chen Cheng, who stayed at the camp. Chen Gang was also a dual-elemental ability user of ice and water. The fire in front of them was a good opportunity to test whether water-based abilities could extinguish it.

"Rou Rou, Fei Fei, Cheng Zi! Rou Rou! Are you there?"

As the two approached, the area around the camp was quiet, with no zombies or mutated plants or animals. They called out the names of the others, but received no response.

The fire continued to burn, and the closer the two got, the more they could feel the heat of the flames.

"Rou Rou," Han Xijun jumped out of the car. Gangzi parked the car on the side of the road, and the two ran towards the burning direction, which was the car where Lu Qingrou and the others were.

The car was on fire, and there were strange energy fluctuations inside, indicating that someone was inside.

Han Xijun looked grave and exchanged a glance with Gangzi. "Gangzi, surround us with a net and we'll rush in." They shouted so loudly, but no one responded. Clearly, something was wrong.

Gangzi nodded and quickly enveloped the two of them with water-based abilities.

Han Xijun used her supernatural abilities to corrode the burning car and discovered that the person inside was Lu Qingrou. Han Xijun quickly carried Lu Qingrou, who was already suffocating in the car, out.

What happened? How did they manage to rescue Rou Rou, who was the only one left in the car?

Han Xijun and Gangzi exchanged a glance. Looking at Lu Qingrou, whose body already showed burn marks, Han Xijun felt a pang of heartache. However, the more important thing now was to wake Lu Qingrou up and ask her what had happened.

Why did the car suddenly catch fire? Why is Lu Qingrou the only one left in the car?

What about Wang Feifei and Chen Cheng?

Han Xijun held the unconscious Lu Qingrou in her arms. "Gangzi, use your water-based ability to heal Lu Qingrou first." Chen Gang's water-based ability was already at level five, and he had a healing ability.

Although the treatment effect cannot be compared with Lu Qingrou's mutated water-based ability and Wang Feifei's healing ability, it is better than nothing since Lu Qingrou is still unconscious.

"Hmm~" After Chen Gang's treatment, Lu Qingrou's eyebrows twitched, as if she was about to wake up.

"Rou Rou, how are you? What happened?" Han Xijun asked, looking at Lu Qingrou who had woken up.
