1153: Delicious nuts
The person in front of him was Hong Lei's good friend, named Da Hu.
Last year, he was still following Hong Lei, but because he really couldn't make any money and Hong Lei couldn't see any prospects, not wanting to waste the other party's time, he proactively told the other party to leave him and rely on his relatives.
His relative ran a security company, and Da Hu was now a high-level executive in the company.
This year, Hong Lei had called him a few times, but this guy always complained about feeling uncomfortable staying at the company and wanted to continue following him.
Among his former subordinates, this guy was considered relatively loyal.
"Hong Ge, why are you buying so many flower pots? You're not going to open a flower shop, are you?"
While driving, Da Hu took out a pack of cigarettes from his body and handed it to Hong Lei, asking.
Hong Lei took out a cigarette, lit it for himself, and took a deep breath.
The tip of the cigarette was red like human flesh and blood, while the falling ash was like the decayed, rotten flesh soiled after being gnawed by Zombies.
Thick smoke was exhaled from his mouth and nose, as if spitting out the emotions that had accumulated in his heart during this time.
"Just planting some flowers and plants for fun."
Regarding Da Hu mentioning flower pots, Hong Lei just said casually.
"Hong Ge, you like to mess with these flowers and plants too? Are you buying them for sister-in-law?" Da Hu thought of a 'reason'.
"Heh, to be honest with you, it's actually for decorating my villa," Hong Lei changed the subject.
"Villa?!" Hearing these two words, Da Hu's voice rose by eight degrees, carrying a strong sense of admiration: "Hong Ge, you made big money this year? You even bought a villa?!"
"Something like that," exhaling a puff of thick smoke, Hong Lei did not refute this point.
That kid Wang Yang borrowed 1 million from him, and if he couldn't repay it within a day and a half, he would use that villa and RV as collateral.
When he first encountered this deal, Hong Lei still felt it was a big business.
Regardless of whether that kid Wang Yang could repay the money, he wouldn't lose out.
After all, he had a villa and an RV as a fallback.
However, after experiencing a series of events in the Hospital, Hong Lei discovered that that kid Wang Yang had already anticipated that Heaven would be in great chaos!
He borrowed the money, never intending to repay it!
When everything was in chaos, it would be extremely difficult for him to get the money back from him!
He was certain that he was destined to give him one million for free!
Hong Lei had always adhered to one principle: borrowing money was fine, but if you borrowed money with the intention of not repaying it, you had to bear the consequences he brought!
Therefore, after leaving the Hospital, he directly told Da Hu to go to Wang Yang's villa in the suburbs.
It was already five o'clock in the morning, and the repayment deadline was before tonight.
This last bit of time was meaningless.
That kid couldn't raise the money to repay, so he would just take the house and the car!
As the vehicle drove, the scenery on both sides receded backwards.
The roads in the County suburbs were not yet equipped with streetlights; only the reflective strips planned on the guardrails on both sides made people aware of the road conditions.
"Did a car accident happen here? Why aren't there any traffic police or ambulances to handle it?" As the vehicle drove with its high beams on the pitch-black road, Da Hu suddenly asked a question.
Just look.
Through the car's front windshield, he could see that two cars had collided ahead.
One looked like a long-distance bus, and the other was a large truck.
Judging solely from the extent of damage to the vehicles, the people inside were either dead or disabled!
"Screech!"
With a piercing screech of brakes, Hong Lei, who was wearing a seatbelt and looking at the car accident scene ahead, suddenly leaned forward sharply.
"Damn it! Can't you f*cking watch where you're driving! My car is coming, and you're still standing in the middle of the road, looking for death?!"
Da Hu stuck his head out and roared angrily at the 'person' in front.
In the passenger seat, Hong Lei's eyebrows tightened sharply after his gaze fell upon the 'person' illuminated by the car's headlights.
He turned his head to look at the Sunflower behind him.
He saw that the Sunflower had already produced two small energy Suns!
"You f*cking get out of the way quickly! You're still blocking the road now, are you telling me to send you to the West with a step on the accelerator?!" Da Hu roared again.
Afterward, seeing that the other party was still standing in the middle of the road motionless, at the moment nameless anger arose in his heart, he grabbed the door handle with one hand, about to open the car door.
At this moment, Hong Lei just grabbed his hand and helped him close the window.
"Hong Ge, we should get out and beat this kind of person up!"
"He's not a person," Hong Lei said calmly, his gaze locked on the guy in front.
"Roar!"
The next moment, this 'person' illuminated by the car lights suddenly leaped up and crashed headfirst into the car's windshield!
"Bang~"
Under the splattering blood, the windshield was vibrating intensely!
"Clang!" Before Da Hu could show his shocked expression, he felt a huge push on the side of the car, causing the entire compartment to shake!
There was another one on the side!
No, not just one.
Da Hu somewhat frantically searched for a strong flashlight in the car.
"Click~"
The moment the flashlight's beam erupted, it directly illuminated the Dark areas that the car lights hadn't reached!
In these Dark areas, there were all these ferocious-looking and terrifying 'people'!
"Are these people crazy?"
"They are not people anymore, they are Zombies," Hong Lei explained relatively calmly, then instructed: "Just drive through them. If we get trapped by these guys, we might be finished."
Hong Lei's words were not an exaggeration.
Just from the number of Zombies seen in the area illuminated by the flashlight, there were at least sixty!
In this open area, even a Potato Mine couldn't solve the problem!
The key was not knowing if Da Hu was within the killing range of the Potato Mine, but even if Da Hu was on the same side as him, releasing a Potato Mine at close range would still flip the entire car.
Then, he would have to walk the rest of the way on foot.
"Zombies?!" After hearing this word, Da Hu's tone carried disbelief and a sense of incomprehension.
However, he still followed Hong Lei's instructions, looking at the Zombie in front of him, a fierce look flashed in his eyes as he floored the accelerator!
"Boom!"
The car's 92 octane gasoline burned wildly, and a powerful thrust, coordinated by various mechanical Systems, was finally exerted!
"Get out of my way!"
"Bang!"
The front of the car collided violently with the Zombie directly in front in the very next breath.
As a splatter of blood exploded on the front of the car, the Zombie in front was sent flying backward.
After the car paused slightly, Da Hu turned the steering wheel and charged directly forward!
"Screech!"
Coolness lasted less than three seconds.
Just after Da Hu's car started and hit a Zombie flying, it suddenly braked.
"Hong Ge, it won't work, there are still so many ahead!"
As Da Hu spoke, the car lights also illuminated the road conditions ahead.
He saw that seven or eight medical personnel in white clothes had been completely infected and were now wandering aimlessly directly in front of the road.
At this time, Hong Lei could also see through the car's front windshield that behind the overturned bus, there was an ambulance that had been parked for a long time.
The medical personnel who came to rescue people were all infected.
"Roar!"
After the vehicle stopped, the Zombies blocking the road in front charged directly.
More Zombies from behind were also rushing over at the speed of a hundred-meter sprint!
"Hong Ge!" Da Hu's tone was also a bit panicked now.
When it came to fighting and cutting people, he could be the coolest guy, but facing these terrifying Zombies, he felt he was still a bit out of his league.
"System, exchange for Delicious Nut."
Hong Lei muttered to himself.
In the next breath, he felt an object appear in his hand.
Picking it up, he saw it was a gray, oval-shaped seed.
Without time to observe further, looking at the seventy-plus approaching Zombies around, Hong Lei opened the car window and directly threw the Delicious Nut seed towards the field beside the road.
