Chapter 5
, Abandoned Residential Area No. 7
The carriage was silent for a moment.
Li Mengyao sighed softly, "Chen Yu, I understand you're upset about the recent breakup, but talking nonsense is wrong. Let's discuss something practical..."
Zhang Zihao's lips twitched: "Seeing the future? You've been reading too many novels!"
Deng Yuxin tugged at her boyfriend: "Stop talking, Zihao."
Zhang Zihao scoffed, "What, are you afraid he'll get upset? He's just talking nonsense!"
Deng Yuxin pursed her lips: "We're all classmates, don't go too far..."
Unlike her boyfriend, she had no prejudice against Chen, who was always quiet and reserved.
We can only assume that he was provoked, which is understandable.
However, Deng Yuxin's act of speaking up for Chen Yu touched a nerve in Zhang Zihao.
He was very unhappy.
He clearly has an A-level talent, and only he can protect everyone.
But Yuxin spoke to him as if he had gone too far...
Zhang Zihao narrowed his eyes: "Yuxin, we were indeed classmates before, but we were all thrown into this damn survival journey. We can't lie to you!"
Deng Yuxin wanted to explain.
Zhang Zihao grabbed her wrist and whispered, "Yuxin, I'm your boyfriend. You need to think carefully about who you're going to rely on from now on."
Deng Yuxin's expression froze.
Zhang Zihao now seems like a stranger.
Zhang Wanyue gently tugged at Chen Yu's sleeve, her voice low: "Chen Yu, what can you see?"
Chen Yu knew this would happen.
The idea of predicting the future is utterly absurd.
But he needs this lie.
In his previous life, he exposed everything too early, which led to him being morally blackmailed and collectively bound.
Having been reborn, one naturally abandons morality.
Moreover, he already knew the way to survive.
Simply stating a few things that are bound to happen will win everyone's trust.
This will elevate your status on the bread cart to a new level...
Whether it's cleaning up trash or fooling female classmates, it's absolutely useful.
Chen Yu said seriously, "Our first stop is an abandoned residential area."
"?"
Zhang Zihao retorted directly, "Chen Yu, are you out of your mind? This is a godforsaken wasteland outside the window, where's this supposed residential area? There's not a soul in sight!"
"yes,"
Wang Mengmeng chimed in, "The notification sound hasn't even gone off yet, and you're already making predictions? That's so fake!"
Zhang Wanyue interrupted, "Alright, stop arguing. There's no point in discussing whether it's true or false now; we'll find out soon enough."
Zhang Zihao said nonchalantly, "The class committee member is right. I hope he's not lying. If he dares to tell a lie, as the only man in the car, I won't let him off the hook..."
Wang Mengmeng eagerly exclaimed, "Zihao, you're amazing!"
Zhang Zihao said with a hint of smugness, "Don't worry, Mengmeng, with my talent, I'll definitely lead everyone to survive. The passengers are all classmates; I should take care of them..."
talking.
His gaze shifted from Wang Mengmeng to Zhang Wanyue.
It has to be said that this kind of aloof and mature woman has a tremendous attraction for men.
Even though he already had Deng Yuxin as his girlfriend.
But this path to survival...
Who knows when this will end?
There are four beautiful women in this car; even in the apocalypse, it's a worthwhile trip.
Zhang Wanyue turned her head and asked seriously, "Chen Yu, are you sure?"
Chen Yu didn't argue, but simply looked out the window: "We're almost there."
In fact, the stations along the entire survival route are randomly generated, with no discernible pattern.
Fortunately, in his previous life, he learned a lot of the site's secrets from chatting with his friends.
One common feature is:
The first stop for every vehicle is an abandoned residential area.
This place isn't very dangerous; there are just zombies that appear at night, and these are the lowest-quality zombies with no special abilities whatsoever.
An adult male can be killed when he is calm.
The reason it's so simple...
The goal is to give everyone time to gather essential supplies and survive the rest of the survival journey.
The only thing to be aware of is that you might encounter passengers in other vehicles within the community, who may not be kind.
"Almost there? Into your fantasy world?"
Zhang Zihao shook his head, arms crossed: "This lousy place..."
However, his words...
Deng Yuxin, who had been staring out the window, interrupted him: "Look... isn't there something up ahead?"
Upon hearing this, everyone crowded towards the car windows.
At the end of the straight road, some low-lying outlines could be vaguely seen.
As the bus moved forward at a steady speed, those outlines quickly became clear.
The mottled exterior walls, the haphazardly arranged windows, the rusted balcony railings...
A cluster of residential buildings, clearly long abandoned, loomed into everyone's view.
That was indeed a dilapidated neighborhood.
This time...
The doubts and questions inside the carriage completely disappeared.
Wang Mengmeng looked shocked: "Is he really talented? Or does he have precognitive abilities?!"
Li Mengyao also swallowed hard, finding it unbelievable.
Zhang Zihao sat up abruptly, his pupils contracting: "What a joke! I have A-level talent and I still can't do this, so what makes him...?"
Deng Yuxin exclaimed, "Exactly the same! It's a dilapidated neighborhood!"
Zhang Wanyue covered her mouth, her beautiful eyes trembling: "Chen Yu! You really can see the future!"
Chen Yu nodded: "Of course, I have no intention of lying to you. Let's get ready to go."

As the bread cart slowly came to a stop, it emitted a dull, deflated sound.
The car door slid open automatically.
A stench of decay filled the carriage.
Before me stood several gray, six-story slab buildings, most of the windows broken, and balconies piled with unidentified debris.
Under the gloomy sky, the entire neighborhood was eerily quiet.
"43170 seconds, which is twelve hours..."
"Does that mean we're going to have to stay here all night?"
Zhang Zihao swallowed hard and jumped out of the car first: "But this doesn't look like it's safe for now."
Deng Yuxin followed closely behind, nervously grabbing her boyfriend's arm.
Li Mengyao and Wang Mengmeng exchanged a glance, hesitated, and got out of the car.
Zhang Wanyue was the last to get up.
He looked at Chen Yu, who was still sitting in his seat.
Aren't you going down?
