Free Web NovelChapter 138: Here We Go!
When Theodore woke up from his sleep, the atmosphere in the car was very harmonious. He. He heard the three people chatting lively, and when he glanced out the window, he saw that the road they were travelling on did not have a bunch of zombies on it.
It seemed that they sensed Theodore’s movement and started to glance at him. Geoffrey, who was next to Theodore, immediately shook his body violently with a big smile on his face.
"Brother Theo, we’re about to enter the downtown area, and we’ll be at the base soon!" Geoffrey excitedly announced their group’s current situation.
"Huh? Why so fast? We should be able to enter the downtown area tomorrow," Theodore replied while frowning in confusion at Geoffrey’s words.
To make sure, Theodore looked out the window and confirmed that the sun was still shining in the sky. There should be no way they could get out of the suburbs this quickly.
"It’s thanks to Lyn’s brother’s help that we can move this fast!" Geoffrey immediately pointed at Jocelyn, who was looking better.
"Hey, what are you trying to do?" Theodore immediately suspected Jocelyn’s intentions toward them. He did not expect that the one who made their movements faster like this was Jocelyn.
"You don’t need to be wary like that. Jocelyn turned out to be a native of this city, so she is familiar with the layout of this city," Roxanne said, trying to calm Theodore, who seemed to immediately suspect Jocelyn’s intentions towards them.
Theodore looked at Jocelyn through the rearview mirror in front of the car. Although he still suspected her, he tried to believe Roxanne’s words.
"No need to be too wary of me; I’m really a native of this town; I’m just trying to return your favour," Jocelyn explained her intentions while shrugging her shoulders indifferently.
Theodore also took his eyes off the rearview mirror after hearing Jocelyn’s explanation. Seeing her sincerity, Theodore no longer disputed this.
"Let me take the wheel. The terrain in the city centre has changed a lot; I’m sure there are more zombies currently around the base," Theodore said, finally asking Roxanne to pull over as he wanted to replace her.
"Oh, that’s all right then. I’ll pull over in a safe place," Roxanne replied in agreement, as she also felt quite tired after driving this car for quite a while.
With that, Roxanne pulled over on a quiet road where there were no zombies to be seen.
Theodore immediately opened the car door and walked out, then walked towards the steering wheel to take Roxanne’s place. Roxanne did the same, and they switched positions smoothly.
After everyone was back in the car, Theodore started driving again. Because he had rested well beforehand, he was refreshed when he retook the wheel of the vehicle.
"Do you still need my guidance?" Jocelyn, who was beside Theodore, turned her face towards Theodore.
"No need, I already know the streets of the city centre. And I’m sure you won’t be familiar with the streets of the city centre now, given that you have never been to the base," Theodore replied without turning his head towards Jocelyn.
"That’s right, I’ve been stuck in the suburbs with that group of bastards for a long time," Jocelyn replied, shaking her head unhappily as she recalled her life with the group of bastards who were chasing her.
"There is one thing I want to ask you," Theodore said then.
Jocelyn raised her eyebrows in surprise at Theodore’s words, not thinking he wanted to ask her something, "What is it?" Jocelyn asked him curiously.
"Do those people also intend to come to the base?" Only this time did Theodore glance at Jocelyn, who was next to him.
"It’s also true that those people also intend to come to the base, meaning that we might meet them again," Roxanne said after she listened to the conversation between the two of them in silence.
"Don’t worry; The only one who wants to go to the base is me. They tried to stop me from going, and I refused them, so I decided to run away, and they started chasing me to bring me back," Jocelyn explained tiredly.
"Gosh, they actually did something like that to you. You just relax; we’ll get you to base safely," Roxanne replied excitedly, visibly regretting the behaviour of the bastards who trapped Jocelyn.
"Although I was sceptical of you at first, I believe you can be trusted. Thank you for taking me even though I did something bad to you," said Jocelyn, finally getting the chance to apologize to everyone in the car.
"Something bad? Have you ever done anything like that to us?" Geoffrey tilted his head in confusion when he heard Jocelyn’s apology.
Instantly, Jocelyn realized that neither she nor Theodore had ever told her about the hypnosis she had done to them before, and now she was unconsciously revealing it with full awareness.
Honestly, Jocelyn wanted to sink herself into the bowels of the earth right now; if this was the case, then she had to explain what she had done to Roxanne and Geoffrey.
However, before Jocelyn could explain the matter, Theodore had already opened his mouth to tell her what had happened.
"Jocelyn came to infiltrate the salon and put the three of us to sleep with her power. Fortunately, I was able to wake up; otherwise, she could have killed the three of us easily," Theodore explained casually.
The two people sitting on the back bench also looked at Jocelyn dumbfounded. Even Jocelyn herself looked at Theodore in disbelief.
"Why are you looking at me like that? I was just helping you explain it to them," Theodore said as he felt Jocelyn’s piercing gaze directed at him.
Feeling that the atmosphere in the car was becoming more intense, Roxanne finally cleared her throat softly before saying something.
"After all, it all happened in the past. And also, we still survived until now, so it doesn’t matter; it’s just that I hope you don’t do something like that in the future," Roxanne said with a gentle smile on her face.
"Of course, I already consider you guys my friends; there’s no way I would do something like that." Jocelyn quickly looked back, shaking her head, vowing never to do something evil like that again. freёwebnoѵel.com
Finally, thanks to Roxanne, the atmosphere in the car became warm again, and they chatted lightly. freewebnovёl.ƈom
When the atmosphere was conducive like that, Theodore suddenly turned the steering wheel sharply, almost causing everyone in the car to tumble forward. Even Geoffrey hit the window glass next to him.
"Oh my! What are you doing?" Roxanne, who was the first to get up, looked forward and was immediately shocked by what was happening in front of them.
"That’s right, it’s going to be difficult for us to get into the base today," Theodore said when he saw that many zombies were billowing at the western entrance of their base.
At this rate, they would have to turn around to the north to enter through the north gate, which would be a pretty long journey for them at this point, considering it was already late afternoon.
