Chapter 304 Old Friend
Because among those people, Su Chen saw a familiar face!
Why is he here?
If it were anyone else, Su Chen definitely wouldn't have offered help.
But upon seeing his old friend, he still chose to lend a helping hand.
"Wait for me here."
Su Chen left a message, called to Meng Qi, and left the RV!
He rode on Mengqi's back and soon approached the city.
Based on his previous experience, Su Chen understood that it was impossible to enter the building to escape the Ghost-Faced Spider.
They must take those people down from underground to have any chance of escaping.
Using the 3D topographic map obtained by radar scanning, Su Chen found a suitable sewer entrance.
He shoveled away the snow, revealing the manhole cover.
The ghost-faced spider was getting closer and closer to the survivors.
With a thought, Su Chen raised his hand and summoned a massive blizzard!
Despite the Ghost-Faced Spider's enormous size, after advancing to the advanced level, Su Chen's mental power increased, and the range of the blizzard also expanded, directly enveloping the Ghost-Faced Spider and blocking his vision!
"Hey! This way!"
Su Chen called out to the survivors.
They were stunned for a moment, but without thinking much, they headed straight for Su Chen.
Su Chen led the others into the pre-opened sewer entrance!
After the blizzard subsided, the Ghost-Faced Spider, unable to find anyone, hissed angrily!
Su Chen led the way, skillfully guiding the group to the sewage outlet outside the city.
Once they were safe, the burly man in the lead said gratefully,
"Brother, thank you so much!"
"If it weren't for you, we would probably all have become that monster's snack!"
"My name is Wang Yan. What's your name?"
Actually, he didn't need to introduce himself; Su Chen already knew his name.
In their past lives, the two were considered brothers who would share life and death!
In his previous life, Su Chen was nearly killed by Xiao Mei when the flood came.
It was Wang Yan's help that allowed him to survive.
The two relied on each other and fled from the coastal area to the inland.
They eventually settled down at a base called Dongjing.
Since the two of them lacked any skills, they could only do the lowest and most dangerous jobs at the base and eat the simplest food.
Once, while searching for supplies, Su Chen was almost bitten by a zombie.
It was Wang Yan who acted decisively and saved Su Chen once again.
However, he was bitten to death by zombies!
If there was anyone Su Chen felt guilty about among the people he knew in his past life, then Wang Yan would definitely be one of them!
"My name is Su Chen!"
Su Chen reached out and shook hands firmly with Wang Yan.
His eyes were even slightly moist!
Good brother, I will repay your kindness in this life!
Wang Yan, unaware of Su Chen's inner thoughts, simply smiled wryly and said...
"Brother, we fled from the west, and we've already run out of food. What about you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Su Chen magically produced a large amount of food, including beef jerky and canned goods, from his pocket.
Besides that, there were even a few bottles of drinks and beer!
Wang Yan and the others were stunned!
When they came to their senses, they didn't even think about why Su Chen was able to escape with so much stuff, and hurriedly started wolfing it down!
Judging from the way they ate, they must have been starving for a long time.
But that's right.
If Wang Yan and his group came from the Dongjing base, there weren't many towns along the way.
The few remaining county towns were completely looted by the people of Chenjiayu!
After a whirlwind of eating, everyone was finally full.
Wang Yan let out a burp and said with some regret,
"If only I could have another cigarette..."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Su Chen tossed him several packs of cigarettes.
Wang Yan stared intently and almost popped his eyes out!
It was Hua Zi!
This thing is extremely rare in the apocalypse; it can be exchanged for several boxes of instant noodles!
"Having spent half my life adrift, I only regret not having met a wise ruler. If you do not abandon me, I would like to take care of you in your old age!"
While flattering Su Chen, Wang Yan skillfully tore open the packaging and lit one for himself.
The other people nearby also stepped forward and took the cigarettes from Wang Yan's hand.
As they smoked, their gazes toward Su Chen shifted from gratitude to fervor!
They were already at their wits' end when they encountered a monster like the Ghost-Faced Spider.
Wang Yan and the others all thought they were doomed!
Unexpectedly, Su Chen appeared out of nowhere, not only saving them but also providing so many good things!
Su Chen is practically their second parent!
Where are you from?
Although grateful for Wang Yan's help in his previous life, Su Chen also understood that the matter of being reborn and transmigrating was a bit too fantastical.
Therefore, he did not intend to tell Wang Yan.
He pretended not to know anything and asked.
"We came from the Dongjing base, which is at least 300 kilometers away from here..."
As Wang Yan explained to Su Chen, he flicked the last cigarette butt away.
They really did come from the Dongjing base.
Su Chen thought to himself.
From a timeline perspective, this was already a few months after Su Chen's death in his previous life.
It seems that even without Su Chen's appearance, Wang Yan is living quite comfortably in this life!
"Why were you so foolish as to escape from such a long distance to here?"
Su Chen asked with some confusion.
"Sigh... There's nothing I can do, I've offended some big shots in the base."
Wang Yan smiled helplessly.
"All other directions are dead ends; we can only head east!"
"A big shot? Is it Han Jiayi, Ren Tongxi, or Kong Qian?"
The names Su Chen mentioned were all members of the leadership of the Dongjing Base.
Wang Yan looked at him with some surprise after hearing this.
"No, how...how do you know about them?"
“I have a friend who used to work there, so he knows the situation at the Dongjing base fairly well.”
Su Chen spoke casually and naturally.
Wang Yan and the others suddenly realized what was going on and felt a sense of familiarity with Su Chen!
"Actually, it wasn't either of them. It was a guy named Lu Kun!"
Wang Yan explained.
Upon hearing him mention Lu Kun, Su Chen suddenly realized what was going on.
Survivors at the lowest level of the Dongjing base, like Su Chen and Wang Yan, are generally referred to as scavengers.
They were not only responsible for the base's sanitation, but also needed to accompany the base's guards to search for supplies.
The problem is that the guards were only responsible for taking them to the edge of the city.
Next, the scavengers themselves will have to search for supplies in the city.
Therefore, scavengers often encounter danger and their lives are extremely short.
Lu Kun was the foreman in charge of managing the scavengers at the base.
He relied on his power and status to frequently bully Su Chen and other scavengers.
According to regulations, scavengers must hand over 80% of the materials they collect, and can keep 10% for themselves.
However, Lu Kun forcibly demanded that they hand over 90%.
The extra ten percent naturally went into his pocket!
