Reborn in the Post-Apocalyptic World: Building Infrastructure

The Passat zoomed over the crack with almost no vibration, as if driving on flat ground—quick and steady.

Outside the car, Li Xueying exclaimed and covered her mouth in shock.

"Insane! Su Ling, that despicable woman, is definitely insane."

Sheng Hongye was also surprised. While the crack wasn't large, the surrounding soil had loosened, and no one could predict what might happen when the wheels rolled over it. He didn't expect Su Ling to charge right through.

Liu Yu, sitting in the passenger seat, was sweating profusely.

In disbelief, he said, "Miss Su... you're... you're too bold."

"Sister Su, did you really pass through?" Geng Hao, lying in the backseat, couldn't resist crawling up. He had secretly taken a look earlier, and the crack was quite deep.

Su Ling smirked; with a 100% increase in speed and endurance, there was nothing to fear about that small pit.

She stopped the car and waved at Sheng Hongye.

"Mr. Sheng, you can come over. Your Land Rover will definitely be fine."

Sheng Hongye hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Li Xueying immediately disagreed.

Holding Sheng Hongye's wrist, she coquettishly said, "No, Brother Hong, let's take another route. You see, the soil around the crack is loosening. Our car is large; we won't be able to pass through."

By doing so, not only would they avoid going through the crack, but they could also completely leave Su Ling behind.

Sheng Hongye had already opened the car door, his voice cold.

"There's only this route to reach Lizhou. If you don't get in the car, you'll have to jump over."

"Brother Hong..."

Li Xueying shouted, sounding like a wounded little animal, but she could only reluctantly get in the car.

Sheng Hongye started the car again, and instantly felt something different. The car seemed lighter, and the engine appeared to have doubled in power. Was it just his imagination?

Sheng Hongye furrowed his eyebrows and suddenly remembered touching Su Ling's car.

Based on his instincts, Su Ling was someone who didn't care much about material things, and it was unlikely she would be interested in his car. Could it be that she did something to it?

In just a short two minutes? How was that possible?

Thinking of her Passat, which had speed and power far superior to a regular car, his brow furrowed even deeper.

Inside the car, Gu Kai Xuan looked up with admiration.

"Uncle, Auntie Su is so cool!"

Sheng Hongye nodded and said to Gu Kai Xuan, "My little treasure, buckle up your seatbelt. We're going to jump over."

Li Xueying immediately fastened her seatbelt and, for the first time, moved to the backseat.

Sheng Hongye glanced at her coldly and started the car's engine.

The Land Rover shot forward like lightning, and in a flash of white light, it leaped over the deep trench. Su Ling couldn't help but be amazed.

Indeed, expensive cars were different. With the same reinforcement, the Land Rover was much more impressive than the Passat.

Li Xueying, who had prepared herself to scream, found that, besides the car starting, she hardly felt anything.

She couldn't help but wonder, "Brother Hong, did anything change with this car?"

Even someone who knew little about cars like Li Xueying could sense that something had indeed changed with the car. Could it be, like in the movies, that Su Ling possessed some kind of superpower?

Watching Su Ling leaning against the car, exuding an impressive aura, Sheng Hongye's brow furrowed even more.

"How is it? I didn't lie to you, right?"

Su Ling was somewhat smug, then gestured for them to get in the car.

Sheng Hongye also responded with a gesture and walked ahead, but Su Ling's Passat constantly left him behind. His competitive spirit as a man was ignited, and he stepped on the gas pedal, and the Land Rover raced forward.

Su Ling rolled her eyes and quickly caught up.

With the support of the system, both cars sped rapidly. What should have been a two-hour journey took only fifty minutes.

After spending an extra three minutes, Su Ling finally caught up to the Land Rover but found the entrance to the city blocked by a pile of rocks.

Clearly, the barricade was not to keep zombies out but to prevent people from entering.

This excited Su Ling. If they blocked the entrance for people, it meant there were survivors in Lizhou. It seemed her memory was correct; there was indeed a refuge here.

This also meant that her benefactor was likely here.

She immediately stopped the car.

Sheng Hongye began moving the rocks, and Geng Hao and Su Ling quickly joined in. Just as they moved a few stones, the sound of car engines reached their ears.

In the blink of an eye, several sedans arrived at the city entrance.

A man holding a cigarette got out of one of the cars. Seeing him, Su Ling's blood froze.

It was Wei Zixuan. She never expected him to be in Lizhou too.

With him was her younger sister, Su Rou, dressed up like a cute little girl. In addition to these two familiar faces, there were several men of similar age to Wei Zixuan, each with a hostile expression.

"Slut, it's you."

As soon as Su Rou saw Su Ling, she started cursing.

Su Ling stood up straight and sarcastically asked, "Slut? Who are you calling a slut?"

"Of course, I'm calling..." Su Rou was about to finish her sentence when Wei Zixuan interrupted.

"F*ck, are you brainless? Can't you tell she's cursing at you?!" Su Rou, who used to be haughty and arrogant, stood meekly beside Wei Zixuan, lowering her head.

"Zixuan, you must teach this slut a lesson." Su Rou said meekly.

Wei Zixuan looked at Su Rou coldly, and she immediately shut her mouth.

Su Ling found this strange. Su Rou was always headstrong, and even if she followed Wei Zixuan, he wouldn't be able to control her. Judging from the expressions of the other men, they seemed to follow Wei Zixuan's orders unquestioningly...

While pondering, Wei Zixuan said with a strange tone, "Tsk tsk, isn't this President Sheng? You are a big shot. Why? Do you also want to enter Lizhou?"

Sheng Hongye patted the soil off his hands, stood up leisurely, and said, "What if I do?"

Wei Zixuan smiled arrogantly and said, "Think it over. Hand this woman over to me, kneel on the ground, and kowtow to me three times, maybe I'll let you go if I'm happy."

Sheng Hongye raised his eyebrows, "You want Miss Su?"

Wei Zixuan replied in a cold voice, "That's right."

Then, he turned to the men beside him and said, "This bitch is available to all. She's trashy and promiscuous. Since you guys have been loyal to me, I'll reward her to you."

The men immediately looked at Su Ling, their greedy eyes not concealing their lust.

Su Ling's tall figure and her profession as a doctor gave her a cold and aloof aura, which was undoubtedly the type men liked the most.

Chi Guoguo's gaze instantly made Su Ling feel disgusted and she instinctively moved back to Sheng Hongye's side.

Sheng Hongye naturally reached out and pulled Su Ling close to him, their movements seamless and coordinated.

He sneered disdainfully and taunted, "You few think you can snatch someone from me?"

Seeing Su Ling standing affectionately by Sheng Hongye's side, Wei Zixuan felt jealous once again.

He cursed loudly, "Damn it, you're asking for trouble. Men, get him! As long as you take care of this guy, that slut is all yours."
