Chapter 284: A Near Miss

Lu Peng also vaguely found that something was wrong. After listening to Song Chen's words, he immediately nodded and agreed.

"Wait a minute, I'll try to sense it with my superpowers."

After that, Lu Peng returned to the car, closed his eyes, and began to mobilize his superpowers.

Song Chen stood by him and helped him block the zombies that attacked.

Although Lu Peng's awakened superpowers only strengthened the five senses, which were not as helpful as other wind, fire, thunder and lightning superpowers, he never stopped improving his superpowers. Now he is already a level 5 superpower user, and it won't take long for him to break through to level 6.

He mobilized all the superpowers in his body, condensed them and then released them, carefully sensing other auras in the surrounding buildings and streets.

As a result, he suddenly found that things were far more serious than they imagined.

"There are many zombies rushing towards the direction where we are now, and it seems that all the zombies around are gathering here."

After listening to Lu Peng's words, Song Chen's expression was solemn.

Things were indeed wrong.

Maybe there are high-level zombies commanding them around. If they want to use them as fresh food, they must leave as soon as possible.

"Have you sensed which direction is easier to break through?"

"Found it." Lu Peng nodded, "Go about two hundred meters ahead and you will reach the intersection. When we reach the intersection, we will turn right directly. There are fewer zombies in that direction. We should be able to break out together."

"Okay!"

Song Chen did not hesitate. After confirming the direction with Lu Peng, he immediately called everyone to get back to the car and prepare to break out.

Everyone returned to their positions according to the previous formation. Song Chen commanded Lan Ya to open the way in front, and he also jumped on the roof to cover it.

With Lan Ya's speed, it is completely possible to clear the zombies in front of the vehicle without worrying about it being thrown off. After seeing Song Chen covering Lan Ya on the roof, the members in the car behind also threw their superpowers out through the car windows to block the zombies that kept rushing in from all sides.

Lu Peng sat in the co-pilot seat, concentrating on using superpowers to perceive.

The situation had exceeded their expectations, and he dared not relax at all at this moment.

"The intersection is just ahead!"

Seeing that he was about to rush to the intersection, He Chengji stepped on the accelerator and brake, and slammed the steering wheel with his hands, and the whole car drifted to the right in an instant.

There were also many zombies on the right side of the intersection. At the moment when the vehicle turned right, Song Chen quickly threw out two skills and immediately cut the zombies blocking the car into two pieces.

He Chengji did not dare to release the accelerator and continued to accelerate outward.

With Lan Ya and Song Chen helping to clear the way, all the zombies blocking the way were killed as soon as they showed their heads. Almost no obstacles were encountered, and they quickly rushed out of the zombie encirclement.

The car behind followed closely.

Everyone finally rushed out without any danger.

But Song Chen did not dare to be careless at all. He let He Chengji maintain the speed and continue to drive forward for a long distance before gradually relaxing.

"Huh!"

Song Chen climbed back into the car through the window, opened the door and let Lan Ya in, and then looked up to see Lu Peng sweating profusely, leaning against the back of the chair and panting with a pale face.

"Are you okay?" Song Chen took out a bottle of water from the space and handed it to him, asking with concern.

"It's okay." Lu Peng smiled and took the water, took two big gulps, and then felt better, "It's just that my superpowers are a little overdrawn."

Song Chen raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.

He didn't expect that the perception-type superpowers would consume superpowers so much. From the time they entered the zombie encirclement to the time they broke out, it was only more than an hour, and Lu Peng's superpower reserves were exhausted.

"His superpowers are like this, although we don't know exactly what's going on. When we go out normally, we won't let him use superpowers unless it's absolutely necessary." He Chengji added an explanation after seeing Song Chen's surprise.

Although Lu Peng has a high level of superpowers and a lot of energy reserves, it is very exhausting to open his perception with full concentration like just now.

Usually, when the White Tiger Team goes out to perform tasks, Lu Peng always uses superpowers as a supplement, relying on the enhanced five senses and experience to judge the situation. It is the first time that he has fully opened his superpowers like just now.

It is because the situation is critical that Lu Peng can grit his teeth and persevere, otherwise he would have collapsed long ago.

After listening to He Chengji's explanation, Song Chen understood a little bit.

Although the perception superpower is not obvious in combat, it is also a kind of superpower.

And Lu Peng's ability to open the perception range is like a skill, and it is different from other attack skills. Throwing a fireball consumes the superpower of a single fireball. Every minute and every second of opening the perception range consumes the superpower in the body. The superpower consumption is unimaginable.

Fortunately, Lu Peng's superpower level has reached level five, otherwise he really can't hold on until they rush out.

"Eat something, drink some water, and recover your strength first."

Song Chen took out some high-calorie foods such as chocolate and pure water from the space and gave them to Lu Peng.

Recover your strength first, and the recovery speed of your superpowers will also be faster.

But looking at Lu Peng's appearance, there is no way to use superpowers to help them avoid zombies and speed up the process in the next journey. They can only rely on luck and pray that they will not encounter a large number of zombies again.

Thinking of this, Song Chen looked at the time.

Just now, they were delayed for too long by the zombies, and Lu Peng's ability was exhausted. They had no other means to avoid the zombies, and they could no longer calculate the time according to the previous method.

"It is very likely that we will not be able to reach the transfer station today. We must find a safe place to rest before dark."

With their team configuration, they don't have to worry about traveling at night, but the current state of the zombies is too abnormal. Song Chen is not sure that there will be no other unexpected threats at night. For safety reasons, it is better to find a place to rest before it gets dark.

He Chengji nodded in agreement.

In Lu Peng's current state, if he encounters a large number of zombies again, he may not be able to deal with it. For the sake of safety, it is wisest to find a safe place to stay before dark.

Although he is very worried about the situation at the official base, it can only be done if they maintain a good combat state, otherwise even if they rush back, they will only deliver food to the zombies.

...

Before dark, Song Chen finally found a relatively safe place to stay.

"Let's rest here tonight and continue our journey tomorrow morning."
