Chapter Thirty-Eight: Between Brothers

  The scarlet cigarette butt flickered incessantly.

  Slowly burning tobacco leaves emit a rich fragrance.

  Wu Xiaotian slowly smoked while constantly thinking about the various situations on the rescue route, thinking about how to solve them if encountered.

  For example, if they were surrounded by a large number of ordinary zombies, Wu Xiaotian would not be afraid. However, the people he rescued might not be fearless either. Originally, they were living well, but because of Wu Xiaotian's rescue, they fell into a dangerous situation. If nothing happened, it would be fine, but if the people who were rescued suffered any harm, then with Wu Xiaotian's personality, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

  So Wu Xiaotian thought about how to protect the people who were rescued.

  Wu Xiaotian's plan was that after rescuing people, he would directly let them get into the car and then Wu Xiaotian would drive them to his own home. Then he would go to rescue other people. After rescuing all the people, he would meet up with Du Ziteng and the people they had rescued.

  So the vehicle must be sturdy and must be a heavy-duty vehicle. If it is surrounded by zombies, it can directly break through the zombie's encirclement and will not be easily surrounded like a small car. Heavy-duty vehicles also need to be modified, otherwise they will be useless when encountering mutated zombies.

  If the vehicle is not sturdy, lacks power and is too cumbersome, then it will be a metal coffin for those people. Therefore, the choice of vehicle is also a necessary issue. The requirements for this vehicle are: First, it cannot be too cumbersome, because in this already congested traffic, it is difficult to move forward, so the agility of the car is required. Second, the power of the car, if the car is blocked by zombies or stopped on the road, can directly crash through. Third, the sturdiness of the vehicle, if the car breaks down or encounters other situations and is forced to stop, Wu Xiaotian can leave, but what about the people being rescued? This broken-down vehicle will become their metal coffin, if the vehicle is not sturdy, the coffin will be broken. Wu Xiaotian's requirement is that if the vehicle breaks down or encounters other situations and is forced to stop, ordinary zombies cannot break through the car's defenses.

  The only two cars that satisfy these requirements, Wu Xiaotian can think of are: First, the rear eight-wheeled truck, and second, the dump truck. The height of these vehicles is such that they can be surrounded by zombies without being easily attacked, and their solidity makes Wu Xiaotian feel very secure. In the event of a traffic accident, the worst that would happen to these two types of cars is that the driver's cab would be damaged, but the body of the car would remain intact. Their horsepower is also very reliable. The number of times they break down is also extremely low. Therefore, Wu Xiaotian decided to choose one of these two cars as a rescue vehicle.

  Just as Wu Xiaotian was considering what car to use, Du Ziteng was still in the copy shop painfully detoxifying.

  Until the sun sets in the west, Wu Xiaotian and Du Ziteng set out again. Originally, they could have left around 4 pm, but Wu Xiaotian looked at the listless Du Ziteng and postponed their departure again.

  The two of them sped along the route Wu Xiaotian took to the car market, with Wu Xiaotian using his peripheral vision to scan the situation on the side of the road as he moved quickly.

  When Yu Guang's gaze fell on Du Ziteng, who was flushed with excitement, Wu Xiaotian finally couldn't help but ask: "Tiger Sister, how do you feel? Has your strength improved?"

  Du Ziteng, still running wildly, stopped in his tracks upon hearing Wu Xiaotian's question and looked at him with a pitiful expression like a bullied daughter-in-law.

  "You chimney sweep, you didn't tell me that drinking that tree sap would give me diarrhea, and it's so severe!"

  Wu Xiaotian directly ignored Du Ziteng's resentful expression and said slowly, "Don't drag out these useless things, let's get to the point!"

  Du ZiTeng also straightened up and replied seriously: "That tree sap has a great effect on me. In the past, my abilities could only be brought out after transformation. Now, even if I don't transform, I feel that those ordinary zombies' attacks can't break through my defense directly, and my physical strength has increased a lot. In the past, if I didn't transform, running such a long distance would have exhausted me by now. But now, I'm only slightly out of breath."

  "Now you can only feel physical strength and enhanced defense. Is there anything else?" Wu Xiaotian stared at Du Ziteng with expectant eyes.

  "The humanoid form is just this, I don't know how strong the true body of White Tiger is! All the strengthening will only be known after using the true body of White Tiger."

  This made Wu Xiaotian helpless, but then he heard Du Ziteng's suggestion again.

  "This variant tree sap is really effective, why don't we go get some more of that variant tree sap?" Du Ziteng felt the benefits of the sap and suggested expectantly.

  "The sap of the variant tree is only useful for the first time, and it becomes dispensable the second time, so don't expect anything." Wu Xiaotian's words directly turned Du Ziteng's expectation into disappointment.

  "We are now 7.8 kilometers away from that car market, and at our current speed, it's hard to arrive before dark, can you use the White Tiger True Body, our speed will be much faster."

  Wu Xiaotian's implication was that he was too slow, but Du Ziteng didn't mind at all and directly asked: "After I use Bai Hu's true body, do you want to ride on my back? This way the speed will be even faster!"

  Du Ziteng's words almost made Wu Xiaotian furious, Wu Xiaotian directly placed his hands on Du Ziteng's shoulders, looking into Du Ziteng's bright eyes, and said word by word: "We are brothers!"

  After finishing this sentence, Wu Xiaotian didn't even look at Du Ziteng and directly turned around to rush towards the car market.

  Du Ziteng gazed at Wu Xiaotian, who had already become a slender figure in the distance, with sparkling eyes.

  "Brother, I'm counting on you for this lifetime!"

  Facing Wu Xiaotian's back, Du Ziteng seemed to have made some kind of vow.

  Then Du Ziteng stepped out step by step, quickly transforming into a giant white-browed tiger. The tiger's four limbs took steady steps, chasing after Wu Xiaotian's back.

  Yu Guang saw the giant tiger that had already caught up, Wu Xiao Tian let out a long whistle and suddenly increased his speed, leaving behind a trail of extremely agile afterimages.

  But then the tiger let out a mighty roar and with a burst of speed, it chased after him.

  Everyone and Tiger used their fastest speed, rushing towards their goal.

  Two figures moved swiftly under the sunset, advancing towards their goal, as long as they still had a breath left, they would not stop their pace.

  Although there will be countless difficulties on the road ahead, these difficulties will eventually become stepping stones for their success.
