Daylight comes very early in N City, which is located on the southeast coast. In addition, since the current season is in mid-May, it is only 4:30 in the morning, and the surrounding sky is already completely bright.
The military trucks that had been silent all night started their engines one after another, and it seemed that they would set off again soon.
At the end of the motorcade, inside the pure black Tesla.
Yan Hanben, who was half asleep, was awakened by a push. Probably because he was not fully awake yet, the poor man jumped up from the driver's seat with a swish.
The interior space of civilian cars is not very spacious, and Yan Hanben is not thin and small. He was caught off guard and his head hit the roof of the car with a heavy sound, making a dull sound.
"Hey..."
Yan Hanben rubbed his head, opened his eyes and looked around.
The sky around them had already brightened up, and the rumble of engines could be heard from the military trucks at the front and rear, looking like they were ready to set off at any time.
There were three people crowded in the back seat of the car, Zhang Jike who was asleep, Shao Xiu who looked tired, Uncle Ni who looked bleary-eyed, and Xu Xiaoxiao who had changed his clothes.
However, the passenger seat was still empty, and Ma Long did not come back.
"Um, what time is it now..."
After finally relieving the pain in his head, Yan Hanben let out a big yawn and asked.
"At half past four, I saw that all the military vehicles in front were starting, so I woke you up."
Shao Xiuqi explained in a low voice, as if she was infected by Yan Hanben's yawn, she also yawned a lot.
"Why did Xiao Xiao change his clothes? He looks quite handsome. Is it a standard military uniform?"
Yan Hanben glanced around and quickly noticed the changes in the girl, and asked casually.
At the same time, touch the switch with your right hand to prepare to start the vehicle.
"What about the Maroons? Have you never come back since you left yesterday?"
"Ma Long is still ahead. He said he wanted to check on the recovery of other injured people. He should be back soon."
Xu Xiaoxiao replied.
"So that's it, let's wait a little longer. By the way, wife, you haven't slept all night..."
Yan Hanben nodded, indicating that he understood, and quickly adjusted himself into the role of driver.
At the same time, he did not forget to care about his wife and wanted her to take some time to rest.
"I'm fine. I'll just take a nap for a while on the way. Xiao Xiao, you've been busy all night, aren't you tired..."
There was some worry on the young woman's face. Although she had not slept all night, she was still sitting in the car and did not consume a lot of physical energy. At best, her mental state was just a little worse. Even if she didn't catch up on sleep, it would not be a big deal.
But Xu Xiaoxiao had been busy all night. Although she didn't see it with her own eyes, from the girl's description, she experienced a fierce battle last night.
Under such a huge amount of physical exertion, Xu Xiaoxiao was not even tired at all. This made Shao Xiuqi feel worried and at the same time, there was a trace of curiosity in her heart.
"Sister Xiu Qi, I'm fine. I'm in good spirits, but I'm just a little hungry..."
Before the girl could finish her words, a loud grunting sound reached everyone's ears. Xu Xiaoxiao was seen covering his stomach with some embarrassment and looked at the bag containing food.
"Eat, eat, it's time for breakfast."
A look of love appeared on Shao Xiuqi's face, and she took the food out of the bag before Xu Xiaoxiao could do anything.
Convenient chocolate and energy bars

There was not much left. For the sake of the future, Shao Xiuqi decided to consume the rice cakes made by Uncle Ni first.
Although it is just a simple dish made of rice and salt, through Uncle Ni's skillful cooking, it has become a rare delicacy in this apocalyptic world.
After taking the rice cake from Shao Xiuqi, the crunching sound of chewing could be heard in Tesla.
Not long after, the door on the passenger side of the car was opened, and a familiar figure got in.
"The convoy will leave in five minutes. How are you all resting?"
Malone, who came back from the front of the motorcade, adjusted the seat under him and asked.
"I'm full of energy, so just leave the driving to me. It's just that my wife has been working all night and needs to rest."
Seeing that Ma Long came back safely, Yan Hanben's heart dropped to his stomach, and he continued with a little excitement.
"Tell us what happened last night. In order not to cause trouble to you, Shao Xiuqi, Uncle Ni, and I all hid in the car. It was dark outside and we couldn't see clearly what happened..."
After resting, Yan Hanben's energy was obviously better than the others, and he talked a lot more.
"The large army was surrounded by a group of zombies, but fortunately it has been resolved. Xiao Xiao also killed a horse-level zombie last night. It was really..."
As he said that, Malone turned his head and glanced at the girl who was chewing rice cakes, as if he was afraid for her.
"Next time, please don't use the same method of responding to the enemy last night. It's easy to get injured. If you encounter any trouble, the chance of death is too high!"
When Ma Long said this, Xu Xiaoxiao shrank his neck and even the sound of chewing became a little quieter.
After a long while, he responded weakly.
"You were clearly rushing in and out of the zombies, and you still said that my way of responding to the enemy was too dangerous..."
"What did you say?"
"Um, no, Ma Long, please eat the rice cakes. The rice cakes are delicious hehehehe..."
Rolling an annoyed look at Xu Xiaoxiao, Ma Long reached out to take a piece of rice cake and started to eat it.
After last night's battle, he had initially understood his first-level abilities.
Although I haven't practiced repeatedly, I just tried it out last night.
But Ma Long was very sure that he was already a standard first-level ability user.
By turning on the invisible switch deep in the consciousness, you can smoothly switch your own state, increase your speed, and increase your strength.
This feeling is very mysterious, like controlling an invisible muscle. Ma Long can clearly feel the duration of the first-level ability state, just like knowing when his muscles will become sore and exhausted.
"My first-level ability should be an active ability that greatly increases movement speed and muscle strength. When I rushed into the zombies last night, my vision, hearing, smell and touch were all improved to a certain extent. When the light is not bright, If enough, you can clearly see the target you want to attack..."
Unlike Xu Xiaoxiao's big mouthfuls of chewing, although Ma Long looked carefree, his eating movements were extremely graceful. Combined with the way he looked when he was thinking, a certain girl in the back seat of the car felt a little deer in her heart.
"However, although the ability is very useful, it does not last long. After the battle last night, my physical strength was almost exhausted. I have to pay attention to it in the future..."
Ma Long's eyes were staring straight ahead, thinking about the information that could not be told to the survivors in the car, and he failed to notice Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes behind him.
But this is better, as it gives the girl the pleasure of continuing to peek invisibly.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
"Thanks to that big spider, I survived the virus infection and the influence of genetic pollution, and directly became a first-level ability user. I originally thought that the weird healing ability was my first-level ability, but no. Think of the real first-order ability as speed increase."
Thinking of this, Ma Long suddenly turned his head and looked towards the back seat of the car.
He wanted to see what his comrade and senior was doing now, and whether he had emerged from his sleepless state.
But when Ma Long turned around, he didn't see Zhang Jike sleeping beside him first. Instead, he faced Xu Xiaoxiao who was peeking at him.
"Forehead……"
"Forehead……"
Xu Xiaoxiao froze on the spot while chewing heavily, and his face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Look what I do..."
Ma Long also felt a little embarrassed and muttered softly.
"How do I know I'm looking at you if you don't look at me!"
Hearing Ma Long's words, Xu Xiaoxiao, who was still a little shy, immediately let go and replied confidently.
"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you. Let's eat your cake."
Shaking his head helplessly, Ma Long looked away from the girl's red face and looked at Zhang Jike who was closest to the window.
The elderly soldier was still the same as when he first woke up, breathing regularly and thinly, like a sick cat with breathless breath, as if he would sleep to death anytime and anywhere.
"Lao Zhang, how are you?"
Looking at Zhang Jike who seemed to be sleeping, Ma Long asked in a low voice.
He was actually not sure whether the other party was pretending to sleep or really asleep, so he just made a judgment based on his own feelings.
"It's okay, I just need to rest. When you and Xiao Xiao left last night, I did some homework, so I'm a little tired."
The elderly soldier leaning against the car window did not open his eyes, but opened and closed his lips and gave a simple explanation.
"Yes, after you left last night, Captain Zhang was the first to come back. At that time, he was in a very bad state, as if he might not be able to hold on any longer."
Uncle Ni added with a worried look on his face. Last night, Zhang Jike's change of state when he came to the back of the car almost scared him to death. He looked like a normal person strolling leisurely one second, but when he reached the door of the car, he couldn't even hold the handle. Unable to hold on, he entered the car with the help of Uncle Ni and Shao Xiuqi.
Originally, Zhang Jike told others not to let others see his weakness, but Ma Long was with them, so it didn't matter if he briefly described the situation.
"Are you exhausted? Or are your wounds not fully healed?"
After hearing Uncle Ni's description, Ma Long had some guesses in his mind and hurriedly asked.
"I don't know, but at least it's stable now, but I can't do strenuous exercise or use my abilities."
Zhang Jike took a shallow breath, as if having an asthma attack, and spoke with great difficulty.
The sound of the words became smaller and smaller, and in the end it was just the lips moving, but there was no sound.
"You should have a good rest."
Seeing Zhang Jike's appearance, Ma Long stopped asking any more questions. After all, he was not a professional scientific researcher, and his understanding of ability users was limited to the information given by the gentleman.
It's like a layman who knows the refrigeration function of the refrigerator but doesn't know the refrigeration principle.
So instead of consuming Zhang Jike's energy by asking questions here, it is better to let him rest peacefully. Maybe with enough rest, Zhang Jike's half-asleep and half-awake state of confusion can also be changed...
