The bald monk, carrying bags and packages, had already left the residential area. As he passed the still blazing gas station, he deliberately stopped and went over to take a look.
"Damn! My idol is awesome!" Seeing the scene up close, the bald monk's admiration for Chu Han reached its peak, and he was in an exceptionally good mood. He couldn't help but ramble to himself again: "But I really didn't expect it to be Xiao Yunfei who died. Damn it, for holding my stuff hostage and charging high interest! What the hell, you deserve to be blown up by my idol! Hehehe, my idol is truly the best..."
The bald monk walked and talked, speaking eloquently and incessantly, while also managing to deal with zombies with one hand.
Outside Ange Town.
The G55 was already on the road, but Chu Han's thoughts couldn't be reeled in. The roads ahead and behind were empty. He was bewildered by the loyalty of that unknown individual.
But no matter how he asked, the Reforging System didn't say a word. Forget about a name; he couldn't even get a gender!
However, since it was an unknown person, it shouldn't be someone he knew, at least not someone he hadn't met in this life. With no idea of the reason or identity, Chu Han could only put the matter aside. After all, he had no clue where to even start investigating.
Chu Han turned his head to look at the back seat. Eighteen was fast asleep on Shang Jiudi's lap, while Chen Shaoye hummed a tune as he drove. The car was harmonious and pleasant.
A warmth rose in Chu Han's heart. These three people put him at ease. This was a long-lost sense of comfort, a genuine trust, where he didn't have to worry about being stabbed in the back at any moment.
His biggest gain from this trip to Ange Town was that Shang Jiudi's loyalty finally reached 50%.
Loyalty at 50% was a basic watershed. Having loyalty merely indicated that the other person had a good impression of him, but this impression was very unstable. Any small incident could change their thoughts, causing their loyalty to drop to zero.
Only when it reached over 50% could they truly be influenced by him mentally; his words would be subconsciously believed. And at 90%, loyalty would be locked, preventing betrayal. Their thoughts would completely revolve around Chu Han, just like Chen Shaoye. If Chu Han said the sun wasn't the sun but Mars, he would believe it.
As for 100% loyalty, that was the point where if Chu Han told them to die, they would do so without question.
Ding—
Chu Han flicked the dagger on his left arm, which he had been wearing since the apocalypse broke out. The dagger was originally for defending against people, but he hoped he wouldn't have to use it in the future. He really liked his current feeling, a sense of relaxation from the inside out, without the constant worry.
"You have something to say?" Chu Han looked at Shang Jiudi. The woman's hesitant expression was obvious.
Shang Jiudi nodded and gently tucked Eighteen's hair with her fingers. She looked very gentle, as if she were truly Eighteen's mother. But Chu Han already knew that Shang Jiudi was only twenty-one years old.
"Do you know her name?" Shang Jiudi gave Chu Han a slight smile. 'Her' naturally referred to Eighteen.
Shang Jiudi's smile was pure, untainted by any impurities. This purity came entirely from her heart, completely different from the suspicion and scrutiny she had shown Chu Han before.
Chu Han furrowed his brow and began to feign ignorance with a serious expression: "Isn't she called Eighteen? Are you lying to me?"
At the same time, Chu Han's heart began to anticipate. These two women, one big and one small, were definitely not simple. Could they be arms smugglers? It was highly possible. Two women, yet they had guns, and their demeanor was like bandits. They were too much like a smuggling ring.
This was good. Chu Han nodded with some delight. This way, he could use his advantages to get a lot of good stuff.
Generally, someone as special as Shang Jiudi would be very famous in the apocalypse. However, Chu Han had never heard of these two figures in his entire ten years in the apocalypse. Could it be that in his previous life, Shang Jiudi died very early?
"I was a bit suspicious of you before," Shang Jiudi began to talk about other things. "I couldn't figure out your identity. Such formidable strength, yet you're just a university student? Can one become a superhero just by exercising?"
"Hahaha." Chu Han started to laugh awkwardly. What was up with this woman? She wanted to say something, then she didn't. If she didn't say it, he was going to sleep.
Shang Jiudi in the back seat didn't notice Chu Han's impatient expression. She gently stroked Eighteen's delicate little face, her voice sounding a bit lost: "Do you know? Her name is Luo Xiaoxiao."
Luo Xiaoxiao?
Chu Han paused slightly, then smiled: "That's a very cute name. Her parents must have doted on her a lot, right?"
Shang Jiudi in the back stared directly into Chu Han's eyes, her gaze filled with suspicion: "Do you really not know this name?"
Chu Han frowned, his expression strange: "Should I know it?"
The confusion in Shang Jiudi's eyes flashed and disappeared. She then shook her head: "Then it's nothing."
"En, I'm going to sleep now." Chu Han turned his head and closed his eyes to doze off.
However, from an angle Shang Jiudi couldn't see, Chu Han's eyes were filled with shock, and his hands trembled uncontrollably with excitement. His heart rate had definitely exceeded two hundred, and he was even covered in sweat.
He had almost jumped up in surprise, but thankfully, he suppressed it in time. Otherwise, Shang Jiudi would definitely have become suspicious and started digging for answers.
Eighteen was Luo Xiaoxiao?!
He really hadn't expected it at all. It was too surprising!
So that's why these two women had guns, why Shang Jiudi used a military knife, and why they had become so trusting and excited upon hearing the words 'military base'.
Chu Han shouldn't have been qualified to know the name Luo Xiaoxiao. It was only through a very coincidental chance that he had seen a list of special military personnel. All the people on it were classified, and they were the first priority for protection by all military regions. Among them, the name Luo Xiaoxiao was ranked in the top five. However, behind this name were two words: "Missing."
In his previous life, Luo Xiaoxiao never appeared even after ten years of the apocalypse. In fact, any fool knew she must have died. The word "missing," in a sense, already represented death. But for ten full years, the military had not stopped searching for Luo Xiaoxiao's whereabouts, which showed how special Luo Xiaoxiao's status was in the military.
Chu Han suddenly thought of the zombie horde that had occurred at the rest stop. If he hadn't happened to pass by, Luo Xiaoxiao and Shang Jiudi in this life would probably still have been unable to escape their fate.
No wonder a woman with such a special personality and excellent combat skills like Shang Jiudi wasn't famous in the apocalypse. It turned out she had died long ago!
Chu Han suppressed his excitement and subconsciously touched his chin with his right hand.
Luo Xiaoxiao's identity could actually be easily deduced. She was among the top five people on the military protection list. In his previous life, the military had searched for ten years without giving up. And in the military, there was only one person surnamed Luo who had held a high position and significant power for ten years!
Damn it!
This quirky little girl he had casually saved was actually the granddaughter of that person?!
This feeling was like finding five million dollars on the street!
