Chapter 788
As the metal vine went through Lin Feng’s chest and disabled him from struggling, Lin Qiao, who was in Huaxia Base, had her heart leap . A strange feeling suddenly rose from her heart which made her feel very uncomfortable, as if a hard piece of stone had fallen into her heart .

But soon, that discomforting feeling was gone, as if it wasn’t even real .
Lin Wenwen’s eyes were dazzled, and the dizziness hadn’t stopped .
“What’s wrong?” Someone abruptly grabbed her arm . A cold, familiar female voice was heard .
Lin Wenwen shook her head, then paused in shock . She popped her eyes and stared at Long Qingying, who was holding her arms with a confused look .
“Are you okay?” Noticing the strange look on her face, Long Qingying couldn’t help but ask .
Lin Wenwen spent a few seconds staring at her, then turned to look around . She found herself sitting in a room . The familiar surrounding environment stunned her . For a short while, she couldn’t even react .
“What’s wrong?” Lin Feng was sitting by a window, drinking water . He turned back when he heard Long Qingying, then found his sister sitting there with a shocked face .
Lin Wenwen blinked, then took a deep breath . After that, she sprung up from the chair and ran to the window to look outside, then raised her arm to look at her watch .
As she thought, the current time was half-past eleven . Just now, when she and her people were attacked by the metal vine, it was about four pm .

The building that she was in was located about thirty miles away from the park where they ran into the metal vine . Before heading toward the park, they had taken a break in that building .
Lin Wenwen’s heart raced . She looked around again and carefully scanned every single person in that room with her eyes . The whole team was there .
“Brother… hit me!” She turned and said to Lin Feng eagerly .
The latter didn’t know how to react . He stared at Lin Wenwen for a few seconds, then turned to look at the others with confusion .
At that point, Lin Wenwen’s weird behavior had caught the attention of the others as well . The whole team was as confused as Lin Feng when Lin Wenwen asked him to hit her .
“Brother, come on, hit me! I want to see if I’m in a dream!” Lin Wenwen didn’t notice the look of the others as she urgently raised Lin Feng’s hand to her face .
Lin Feng didn’t know how to react .
He had always been a composed person, but at that very moment, he couldn’t help but look at Lin Wenwen the way people looked at someone with psychiatric disorders .
“Come one… just do it! Eh, never mind!” As her brother refused to do what she asked, Lin Wenwen raised her own hand and gave herself a slap .

The loud and clear slap again made the others feel shocked .
“It hurts!” Lin Wenwen first complained about the pain, then quickly raised both hands and grasped Lin Feng’s cloth, looking at him as she burst in tears . “Brother…”
Lin Feng was dumbfounded . He dropped the cup as he helplessly looked at his sister who had suddenly cried out loud for no reason .
“What… What’s wrong? Why are you crying?” Lin Feng looked at Lin Wenwen bewilderedly, then turned to look at the others, as he honestly didn’t know what to do .
Long Qingying came over along with the others and looked at Lin Wenwen as she asked her with concern, “What’s wrong? Just tell us! What are you crying for?”
Lin Wenwen’s head was full of the picture of Lin Feng’s chest being penetrated by the metal vine . She couldn’t erase the fear in her heart no matter how hard she tried . Seeing Lin Feng standing in front of her unharmed, she couldn’t even believe her own eyes .
The others looked at each other, all feeling deeply confused .
Thankfully, Lin Wenwen soon stopped crying . While wiping her tears, she looked at the others again to make sure that they were all there .
“What on earth happened?” Long Qingying looked at Lin Wenwen and asked with a frown .

Lin Wenwen shook her head as she quickly wiped the tears away from her face . She managed to calm down, but still didn’t relax her grip of Lin Feng’s cloth .
What happened? Why did she suddenly jump back to a couple of hours ago? Was that metal vine her illusion? Was she dreaming?
That was impossible! That was too real to be a dream or an illusion! People were able to realize they were in a dream when they woke up from it, but she did not have that kind of feeling at all! What exactly happened to her then?
Lin Wenwen couldn’t figure it out . She raised her head and asked Lin Feng, “Brother, which way will we take to go home this afternoon?”
“This way,” Lin Feng took out a map and pointed the way out for her .
Lin Wenwen looked at it and found that it was exactly the way they took . They were attacked by the metal vine that afternoon on that way .
Lin Qiao’s blood had been protecting them against zombies . Therefore, they were less vigilant against zombies, but more alert against mutated creatures . Normally, they would avoid going through parks or woods .
Before running into the metal vine, they actually intended to avoid going through that park . However, the only wide road was in the park, and their trucks couldn’t get through the other paths . Their only other choice was to take a detour .
Taking a detour would take them at least three more hours . Therefore, Lin Feng decided to raise their vigilance and go through the park at their highest speed .
Unexpectedly, the metal vine sensed Long Qingying’s metal power and gave them a destructive attack .
Lin Wenwen dropped her head and concealed her emotions . Then, she slowly raised her head and looked at the map in Lin Feng’s hand, pointing at another road, “Brother, let’s take this way . ”
Lin Feng looked at her confusedly, then at the others . The others had also been looking at Lin Wenwen with confusion . “Why?” Lin Feng asked Lin Wenwen, “If we take this way, we won’t get back home until tomorrow noontime . ”
The road he picked would lead them home by tomorrow morning .
Lin Wenwen looked at him, then at the confused Long Qingying, and said, “Let’s take this way . I heard that a cement plant is located in this town . Maybe we can find it . ”
She made up a small lie . She couldn’t tell Lin Feng that they’d be in danger if they took the way he picked, could she? Lin Feng would never believe her, neither listen to her . So, if she told him the truth, she would have to make a lot of explanations to convince him . Who would possibly believe that she was able to foresee the doom of the team that would happen in a couple of hours?
Lin Feng was a non-superstitious soldier, so he would never believe something like that .
