In the past two weeks, the two Mutated Tigers at Jianglin Hotel have been eating and sleeping all day, and they have noticeably gained weight, looking even bigger than before.
However, since Chu Jiangyue didn’t need to earn Crystal Cores to support her living, she lost interest after only one or two days of digging with Granny Hua and the two little ones.
Instead, she approached Shen Zhigui and discussed her idea of going out.
Given that zombies can be frozen stiff in this kind of temperature, Chu Jiangyue speculated that the zombies outside wouldn’t be an exception.
If that’s the case, then going out during this extreme cold period would almost guarantee not encountering zombies, though there’s still the possibility of encountering Mutated Animals and plants.
But Mutated Animals are much easier to deal with than zombies.
"Now with the freezing cold, many people might not even dare to go out.
But the residential Zone B of Jianglin Hotel can’t remain empty forever; I want to go outside to find survivors.
If we could bring them back to Jianglin Hotel, that would be even better."
This time, Chu Jiangyue would also let Little Fox prepare flyers for the hotel, with the same function as the ones distributed in L City. Simply tear off the upper left corner along the dotted line, and holding it will negate the extreme cold within a radius of 1 meter for 7 days, usable once per person.
"Sure, but give us a day to prepare."
Shen Zhigui had no objections to Chu Jiangyue wanting to go out.
Even without Chu Jiangyue approaching them, after being cooped up for two weeks, they were itching to go out for some fresh air.
"Great! Let’s meet at the hotel entrance at 9 a.m. tomorrow!"
With Shen Zhigui’s affirmative response, Chu Jiangyue’s eyes lit up.
She didn’t expect them to agree so easily. She had thought that if Shen Zhigui’s team didn’t want to go out, she would have to find another Superpower Team.
The reason for wanting to team up with a Superpower Team was because Chu Jiangyue didn’t want to drive.
Since Shen Zhigui agreed, she didn’t need to find anyone else.
"Alright."
Seeing Chu Jiangyue’s eyes curve happily, Shen Zhigui’s lips also slightly curved up.
After Chu Jiangyue left, Lin Xuyuan and the others began to tease:
"Oh dear~ Brother Shen didn’t even ask for my opinion before agreeing to someone else, that’s not very nice~"
"What’s the big deal? If you don’t tag along, Brother Shen can have some quality alone time with the person he likes."
"You’re right, maybe I should go tell Boss Chu that you guys won’t go tomorrow, just one person?"
This wasn’t unheard of, but back then Chu Jiangyue was completely focused on finding zombie points, leaving no opportunity for anything else.
Now that Chu Jiangyue personally came to invite him, he would be foolish not to agree.
If Lin Xuyuan and the others didn’t tag along, he really wouldn’t mind.
"No way! We’ve also been stuck for two weeks, and now that the zombies are frozen, we finally get to go out. Brother Shen, don’t pick favorites here!"
Of course, they could also go out on their own, but without Shen Zhigui around, they felt like they didn’t have a leader.
"If you want to come along, then keep your comments to a minimum."
Shen Zhigui could sense that Chu Jiangyue was still not aware of his feelings; she even appeared approachable but was truly not emotionally involved with anyone, let alone developing romantic feelings.
After leaving Shen Zhigui, Chu Jiangyue went to the mango tree and the random fruit tree, channeling her superpower to energize the trees.
The commotion she caused woke up the two Mutated Tigers.
But upon realizing it was Chu Jiangyue and seeing her energizing the trees, the Mutated Tigers simply shifted their positions and went back to sleep. The next morning at 9 a.m., Chu Jiangyue arrived punctually at the entrance of Jianglin Hotel, where Shen Zhigui and five others were already waiting.
However, to Chu Jiangyue’s surprise, Fang Chengwu was also there, accompanied by several superpower users from L City Base.
Chu Jiangyue had seen these people around Fang Chengwu, so it was obvious they were Fang Chengwu’s subordinates.
"Why is Base Chief Fang here too?"
She had only asked Shen Zhigui’s group, not anyone else.
"When Jianglin Hotel was surrounded by zombies, we hadn’t been out in a while.
Since Miss Chu is also planning to go, why not join? More people mean more safety and security."
Fang Chengwu seemed unfazed by coming uninvited, even finding reasonable excuses for his presence.
Anyone confined to one small area for two weeks would be eager to go out once restrictions were lifted, yearning for some fresh air.
Though, honestly, there wasn’t any fresh air outside; it couldn’t compare to the fresh air inside Jianglin Hotel.
Nevertheless, the point was the desire to go out and have fun.
Fang Chengwu said this with a smile, so Chu Jiangyue found no reason to refuse and could only let him and his group join the outing.
However, Chu Jiangyue’s car only had seven seats and couldn’t accommodate so many people; since Fang Chengwu and his group came uninvited, they would have to drive themselves.
Chu Jiangyue brought out her silver-white SUV and adeptly took her usual seat.
The five people, including Shen Zhigui, took turns driving; it was Shen Zhigui’s turn to drive.
Fang Chengwu was tempted to say there was one seat left in Chu Jiangyue’s car for him.
But after a glance at his subordinates behind him, he ultimately said nothing.
He didn’t particularly like Chu Jiangyue, and choosing between her and his subordinates wasn’t difficult for him.
"Let’s head to H Province this time."
After speaking, Chu Jiangyue opened the navigation and set H Province’s W City as the destination.
In the next second, including Shen Zhigui, five people stared as a giant arrow appeared under the silver SUV and extended forward until it was out of sight.
"This navigation... is quite special, huh..."
Lin Xuyuan, sitting in the passenger seat, was the closest viewer besides Shen Zhigui.
Indeed, there’s a gap between leaders and patrons. When they used the navigation, how come they didn’t have this straightforward guidance?
Regarding this giant arrow, Chu Jiangyue felt quite helpless.
It was designed this way as a fool-proof directional arrow because the system’s host was a natural at getting lost.
Chu Jiangyue thought her sense of direction was decent, but the arrow setting couldn’t be changed, so she had to accept it.
But admittedly, the fool-proof navigation arrow was really convenient, eliminating any worry about getting lost.
If someone still managed to get lost with such simple navigation, they should really check their IQ.
It’s not a matter of being directionally challenged, but an issue of intelligence.
"Isn’t this great? Mom never has to worry about me getting lost again!"
Chu Jiangyue had completely accepted it; although the navigation seemed silly, no one could deny its usefulness.
Shen Zhigui said nothing and followed the arrow’s direction as he drove.
As the temperature plummeted to minus 100°C, even the temperature control suit was no longer sufficient. Chu Jiangyue’s team donned the cold-resistant suits that Jianglin Hotel had recently introduced but went unnoticed.
The style was a very basic long-sleeved and long-pant set; many people wore an additional coat over the suit because the long-sleeved set was essentially like a base layer.
