Chapter 350 - 348: The Little Fairy from a Fairy Tale

Chapter 350: Chapter 348: The Little Fairy from a Fairy Tale

The chaos in the city roused even those who were fast asleep, and they all got up to see what was happening.

As they began to move, the zombies’ keen hearing and sense of smell had already pinpointed their location.

Not even those inside their houses were spared.

The zombie hordes soon began breaking down front doors, and a new wave of terrified screams echoed through the streets.

When Chen Xing appeared on the streets of Hulton City, she saw zombies ramming into the doors of people’s homes.

’What in the world were Xu Anguo and his people thinking?’

’They couldn’t possibly be planning to use the zombies against me, could they?’

They knew better than anyone that to her, zombies were nothing more than machines that produced Crystal Cores.

’So, their goal is to destroy Hulton City?’

She recalled Xu Anguo’s recent words.

He had asked why she chose this specific night to injure Chen Dingbang.

’Does that mean the plan to destroy Hulton City was already in place!?’

Although Chen Xing didn’t quite understand why the Research Institute wanted to destroy Hulton City, it was clear that they had, and they had been extremely thorough.

Even she couldn’t stop this slaughter.

There were too many zombies, and they were too spread out.

If they were gathered together, she could have used an area-of-effect attack against them.

But with the zombies scattered all over the city, she was powerless.

’But... as long as it’s within my power, I can’t just stand by and watch.’

Chen Xing immediately summoned the Little Black Cat and all her other pets.

When spread out, her pets were still incredibly lethal.

However... given the Research Institute’s particular fondness for Meng Hu, she didn’t dare let it stray too far.

Soon, Chen Xing and her pets had rescued a large group of survivors.

But... there were too many zombies in the city, and a considerable number were already converging on their position.

’Any more delays, and no one will make it out alive.’

With her mind made up, Chen Xing condensed sheets of steel in her hand, creating an elevated walkway in the center of the city.

The walkway stretched across several streets, leading straight toward the city’s outskirts.

For some of the taller buildings, the walkway was built to run straight through the windows.

At first, the survivors didn’t dare step onto the walkway.

Who knew if those metal plates floating in mid-air were sturdy?

"If you’re not going, I’m taking it down!" Chen Xing had no time to coddle them.

More and more zombies were gathering behind them. Her pets were doing their best to hold them back, but it was impossible to stop a horde of several million.

One of the survivors, a bolder one, scrambled onto the elevated walkway.

It wobbled for a moment, but it was surprisingly stable.

He immediately broke into a run.

’Even falling to my death would be better than being eaten by zombies.’

With someone leading the way, the others no longer hesitated.

Chen Xing set a limit: no more than twenty people at a time. Any more, and she worried she couldn’t maintain it.

As a result, the evacuation took quite some time.

She managed to get everyone out of the city just before the horde broke through.

As for how they would survive from now on, that wasn’t Chen Xing’s concern.

Instantly recalling all her pets, Chen Xing vanished directly into her Jiezhi Space.

The entirety of Hulton City was now overrun with zombies. With nothing left for her there, she left the city directly.

After getting in a car and driving for some time, Chen Xing finally brought Lu Yutian and his two companions out of her space.

She briefly explained to them that Hulton City had been attacked by zombies.

"It was probably because the Great Commander rejected Xu Anguo’s offer to cooperate." Lu Yutian had a carefree personality and preferred an unrestrained life. He had little interest in fame or fortune, which allowed him to see things more clearly.

’Destroying an entire city’s population for that reason?’

Although it was hard to comprehend, it wasn’t surprising coming from Xu Anguo.

A man who would use a hundred thousand people for research was capable of anything.

At that moment, more than ever, Chen Xing was determined to destroy the Research Institute.

We’ll skip over the tearful family reunion.

Within a day, they were back at the airport and flew directly back to their home country.

Chen Xing couldn’t risk her family’s safety.

After they arrived at the National Capital Safety Zone, several days passed, but Song Yiguo still had no news about the Research Institute.

So, Chen Xing left the Capital City with Lu Yutian’s family, Uncle Zhong, and the others.

’We can’t just stay with Song Yiguo forever.’

She had a place in mind: a house located between two major cities, some distance from the main road. It was nestled right at the foot of a mountain. As long as the front entrance was guarded, it was a secure and easily defensible location.

’When I saw it a few months ago, the inside was still pretty new. I wonder what it’s like now?’

Now that she had a family to transport, Chen Xing took out a large RV, while Uncle Zhong, Xiao Li, and Little Chen drove a smaller one.

Although the weather suddenly turned cold during their journey, it only delayed them by a day. They reached Pie Shop City the next day.

They drove less than twenty kilometers south from Pie Shop City and entered Pie Town. After another two kilometers down a narrow road, only wide enough for a single car, a few interconnected mountains came into view.

There, at the foot of the mountains, stood a small, inconspicuous, standalone house.

It looked a little more weathered than it had a few months ago, but it was still in good shape.

Along the way, Chen Xing had clearly explained her feud with the Research Institute.

Everyone, Lu Yutian included, now understood that if they were captured by Xu Anguo, they would be used as leverage against Chen Xing.

Therefore... no one objected to Chen Xing’s proposal that they go into hiding.

After all, it wasn’t as if they could come and go as they pleased anywhere else; they were always hiding from zombies at home regardless.

Along the way, Chen Xing had also cleanly disposed of a few people who were tailing them.

The house was covered in a thick layer of dust, but it was still in good condition and didn’t look like anyone had broken in and trashed the place.

They spent the better part of the day cleaning, and finally, the place was spotless.

Chen Xing first took out a diesel generator and some solar panels, leaving the men to figure them out.

Meanwhile, she, her aunt, and Tiantian went to pick out rooms, set up beds, and lay out fresh bedding.

After just a few days, Tiantian was following Chen Xing around like a little shadow, even wanting to sleep in the same room.

In the little girl’s eyes, her cousin who could perform "magic" was like a fairy from a storybook.

This was especially true when her cousin conjured up countless dolls and pretty little outfits for her.

With the sleeping arrangements sorted, they moved on to the kitchen.

The kitchen had some cookware and a refrigerator, but they were all too old to be used.

Chen Xing produced a brand-new set of everything.

She saw a large water tank on the roof. She filled it, and just like that, they had running water in the house.

Her family’s health was paramount, so she filled their drinking water supply with spring water from her space.

Once the power was on, the air conditioning could be used as well.

With everything inside settled, Chen Xing turned her attention to the exterior.

Security was the top priority.

’Things are fine when I’m here, but what about when I’m not?’

Over the next few days, Chen Xing began building a wall around the property.

She erected a wall over three meters high, enclosing an area that extended three hundred meters out from the house in all directions.

This became her uncle’s and the other men’s job; she was only responsible for finding and bringing back bricks, cement, and sand.

Before she left to find the materials, Chen Xing released all of her pets to protect her family, leaving Lu Yutian and the others staring in stunned silence.

"They’ll protect you while I’m gone!"
