Chapter 35 - Chapter 35: Snake Spirit

"Hoo~"

Bai Ru, leaning against the floor behind the driver's seat, let out a heavy sigh. Her pale face finally regained a bit of the blood color it should have. She straightened up and asked Jack, who was driving, "Lin Ye, what exactly was that thing just now? It was so terrifying! Even a gun couldn't kill it. Will we encounter many of them in the future?"

"That thing is called a zombie hunter. It not only preys on humans but also doesn't spare ordinary zombies when it's hungry. That's why there are no zombies in the warehouse. But you don't need to worry; hunters rarely come out during the day, and their numbers are very few. Including this time, I've only seen about seven or eight of them!" Jack said while driving, glancing at Bai Ru in the rearview mirror.

"Think about how lucky we were last night! That thing was actually right downstairs while we were sleeping, and that hole wasn't far from us at all!" Bai Ru said, biting her red lips, feeling quite scared.

"That thing probably just arrived a few days ago and had its fill of the living corpses inside, which is why it didn't come looking for us. Otherwise, we would definitely have had a good scare!" Mikael lazily said while lying on A Xue's lap.

"Yeah, that's quite possible!" Jack nodded, taking a lit cigarette from the attentive Cao Mei and taking a gentle puff.

"Darling, fly slowly and be careful of the thorny roses ahead…"

Because they were afraid of getting sunburned, the girls unceremoniously sent the opportunistic Hu Laoda to sit in the passenger seat. Hu Laoda didn't mind; after all, he was already dark enough. As soon as he got in, he turned on the radio, and the nauseating song "Two Butterflies" filled the car. Hu Laoda didn't seem to mind at all, tapping his thigh and humming along.

"I say, Hu Chef, what kind of taste do you have? Can't you play something more popular? This song has been out for years, and you're still playing it!" It was the little spicy pepper who had argued with Hu Laoda earlier. She seemed to have it in for him, starting to pick a fight as soon as she got in the car.

"Do you think this is a CD player? You can't just change it whenever you want! This is a damn tape player; it's good enough to have something to listen to!" Hu Laoda grumbled without looking back, then comfortably propped his feet up on the windshield, glancing at Jack, who was driving. He chuckled, seemingly regaining a bit of the old boss's swagger.

"Then turn it off!" The little spicy pepper suddenly walked over and turned off the music in front of the car. Hu Laoda was about to get angry when he saw the little spicy pepper suddenly give Jack a sweet kiss on the cheek and, leaning on his shoulder, said, "Lin Ye, you've worked hard. Let the sisters sing a song for you!"

"Alright then, it's your turn to start!" Jack said with a smile, pointing at the little spicy pepper.

"Okay!" The little spicy pepper happily nodded, standing in front of the car and thinking for a moment before saying, "Then I'll sing 'Grandma's Penghu Bay' for everyone to listen to!"

"Pfft~" Boss Hu sprayed the mineral water he was drinking and turned his head angrily, saying, "Hey, do you think your taste is so high?"

Little Chili glared at him with a white "hygiene ball" as usual and ignored him. She opened her throat and sang a song called "Grandma's Penghu Bay" for everyone. Although this song is somewhat in the category of children's songs, Little Chili sang it quite well. Her clear voice quickly resonated with everyone, and almost everyone in the car started singing along with her. The originally somewhat desolate anger immediately lightened up a lot, and even Michael, who had never heard this song, excitedly joined in with "Awoo awoo" sounds.

"Hehe, Jiao Jiao! When you sing like that, it really makes me feel like the company is organizing a trip for us!" Thomas Hong leaned against Bai Ru, smiling with emotion.

"Hmph~ Of course! Who do you think I am? I'm the famous happy fruit in the company, and I can guarantee that at this moment, in the whole world, we are the only ones in the car singing so happily!" Little Chili proudly puffed out her not-so-full chest, her face full of happy arrogance.

"Sigh~ Yes, those stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan are probably almost dead, right? It seems we can only sing old songs for our own amusement in the future!" Thomas Hong sighed and shook his head helplessly.

"Oh, come on, Hong Jie, don't be so pessimistic. Whether we're happy or not, it's still just one day, so it's better to be happy! Alright, I just finished singing, now it's your turn, Hong Jie, it's you!"

Little Chili walked over and tugged at Thomas Hong's sleeve, but since Thomas Hong didn't sing well, she naturally didn't want to embarrass herself. However, the other girls wouldn't have it and pulled Thomas Hong to make her sing. As a result, they laughed and played around for more than three hours until Jack parked the car in front of a gas station in the suburbs, and the girls finally quieted down.

Jack jumped out of the car first, rummaged in the trunk for a crowbar, and smashed the heads of a few mindless zombies in a few blows. Fortunately, this place was relatively desolate, just a small town with a small population. After killing those few zombies, he didn't see any more approaching.

"Everyone get out of the car and stretch your legs. If you need to go to the bathroom, squat behind the car, don't run far. Cao Mei, Bai Ru, you two keep watch around. If anything happens, call me. Lao Hu, come with me!"

After Jack finished instructing, the girls filed out of the car. Cao Mei had just received a brief gun training from Bai Ru in the car and now stood at the front of the car wearing a pair of black sunglasses, looking vigilant. Bai Ru was even smarter; she climbed up to the roof of the car, holding her black 97-1 anti-riot gun, and watched the surroundings from a high vantage point.

The remaining girls had not encountered any special situations, and they had really been holding it in for a long time. Staying in that dark and dreary supermarket was almost like being in prison. Once they got out of the car, it felt like they were on a trip, gathering together to chatter excitedly about their surroundings. Several girls, who urgently needed to relieve themselves, dared not run far and could only squat down beside the car to take care of it. For a moment, not only were there several conspicuous white bottoms, but the sound of their "pitter-patter" was also particularly noticeable in the quiet environment.

"Yeah... there's a snake..."

Suddenly, a girl who was urinating didn't even have time to pick up her jeans. She jumped up from the ground and ran into the crowd in a few steps. She almost tripped over her pants hanging on her calves. Her bare butt fell into the arms of a girl. She was so shocked that she didn't even think of picking up her pants.

"Where? Where? The snake meat belongs to you, and the snake gall belongs to me." Michael, who was lying lazily in the car, immediately became excited when he heard the snake, and jumped to the back of the car with his claws digging, only to see a five or six meter long red snake looking up at him coldly with its head raised high and spitting out red tongue.

"Ang? Can this snake grow so big?" Michael scratched his head with his front paws and said in confusion.

"Michael, don't go there. That thing is dangerous. Just let Sister Bai Ru shoot it." Regardless of her fear, Ashue rushed up and hugged the eager Michael, dragging him back without any explanation. Her eager appearance seemed to be tighter than when she was in danger.

"Don't let me be so moved, okay? Sister," Michael looked at Axue's tight little face and said with a wink, "Don't worry, that thing is not poisonous, it's just a cauliflower snake."

"It doesn't matter if it's not poisonous. It's so big that it can wrap around you to death. Come back quickly, or I'll never pay attention to you again." Ashue pulled Michael's ear and said seriously.

"Then don't, can't you just stop eating?" Michael was so moved that no one had been so kind to him except his owner. He originally wanted to say a few sensational words, but when the words came to his lips, he changed them to Bai Ru on the roof of the car. He heard him shout, "I'm talking about beauty, shoot your head, don't smash the snake gallbladder, I won't be able to eat it."

"Relax your mind, little dog." Bai Ru smiled, pushed up the sporty brown sunglasses on her face heroically, raised the gun, took aim, and pulled the trigger.

I have to say that the anti-riot gun in Bai Ru's hand is very powerful, and her gun skills are also quite good. From a distance of more than ten meters, Bai Ru hit the head of the red snake with one shot. The head of the snake, which was the size of an adult's fist, immediately exploded like a rotten tomato, and red Marcus's blood was all over the floor.

"Yay…" The girls cheered and clapped, and Michael immediately rushed over excitedly. A shiny claw sprang out from his thick paw, and with a skilled swipe, he dug out a green snake gall the size of a longan from the snake's belly.

"Damn it, the snake gall is so small? This snake really grew so big for nothing! Come on, A-Xue, hurry over and swallow this snake gall!" Surprisingly, Michael didn't keep it for himself but instead used his claw to pick it up and present it to A-Xue.

"Eh… I'm not eating that, it's so disgusting!" A-Xue looked at the snake gall still covered in blood, shaking her head in disgust.

"Are you silly? The snake gall is very nourishing. I'll help you break it, and you can just swallow it in one go!" Michael said eagerly, swallowing his saliva.

"Do I really have to eat it?" A-Xue was still hesitant, her expression clearly showing resistance.

"Of course! This snake grew so big, it's not just any infected creature; it might even be a snake spirit. Eating its gall is a great tonic! If you're scared, just close your eyes!" Michael gently scratched the gall, and it immediately revealed thick bile. Seeing A-Xue squatting down with her eyes tightly shut, Michael quickly tossed the gall into her mouth and said, "Don't taste it, just swallow it!"

"Huh? Damn Michael, what is this? It's so bitter!" A-Xue's little face scrunched up in disgust, and she angrily swatted at Michael, who was grinning with schadenfreude, before rushing to the car to grab a bottle of water and gulping it down.

"I told you not to taste it! You don't even know you're eating something good!" Michael smacked his lips, watching A-Xue's graceful figure, tilting his head with a thoughtful expression.
