Lin Xuan leaned her head against the car window, gazing out the window, and remained silent for a long time.

Even after five years of the apocalypse, she still couldn't remain indifferent to such human tragedies.

Will human society be rebuilt? Will these disasters truly end? What will the world become?

These questions lingered in Lin Xuan's mind without answers.

"Brother, will we always be together?" Lin Xuan asked, still by the window.

"Yes! Of course we'll always be together. I don't want to be separated from you for a moment, you know that."

"Mmm!" Big hands and small hands clasped tightly. Lin Xuan sniffed. She was just a little sad, for the boy she had only met a few times, and for some very beautiful lives.

As evening fell, unable to find a place to stay, the convoy pulled over to the side of the road.

Everyone cooked together.

Lin Xuan generously sponsored several cans of meat, and Grandma Sun taught Yao Yao how to make dumpling soup.

Zhou Xinran took out all the eggs Lin Xuan had given him and cracked them into the dumpling soup, poaching them into sunny-side-up eggs.

I steamed a big pot of rice and topped it with plenty of canned meat.

They served Du Mingliang and the others a lot of rice, meat, and dumpling soup.

Zhuangzhuang hadn't had a proper meal in a long time. The little boy was so small that he practically buried his head in the bowl, slurping the food down with great relish.

When they rested in the evening, Peng Yu built an earthen wall along the green belt, and everyone parked their cars behind the wall.

With the shelter in place, everyone felt much safer.

Everyone was resting in the car, and as before, the men took turns keeping watch at night.

Surprisingly, Zhou Lerui also requested to come and work the night shift.

Zhou Xinran and the others finally belatedly discovered that she had awakened her supernatural powers.

"With great power comes great responsibility!" Zhou Xinran couldn't believe these words came from his silly younger sister who only knew how to scream when something happened.

Could this be a fake sister who has been possessed?

Try giving the fake sister a headbutt.

"Bang!"

"ah!"

"Zhou Lao Er, do you want to die? I'm an ability user now. If you lay a hand on me again, I won't be polite!" Zhou Le Rui covered her head, her eyes blazing with anger.

Great! It's still that screaming chicken girl.

Finally, the group decided that Du Mingliang, Uncle Feng, and Zhou Xinran would form a group and stay until 12 o'clock.

Cao Zhiyong and Peng Yu worked together until 3 a.m.

Zhou Lerui insisted on being in the same group as Xia Feng until morning.

Xia Feng didn't care, but Zhou Xinran thought his lazy sister couldn't possibly get up. This old Xia was abnormally strong; he could keep watch all night by himself without any problem.

After arranging the night watch, Xia Feng took Lin Xuan's arm and led her back to the car.

The back seat of the Jeep is quite spacious. You can lay the chair flat, put on a coarse cloth mat and a small pillow, and then lie down to sleep.

Although Xia Feng's legs were too long to stretch out completely, he was content just holding Lin Xuan in his arms.

The car was stuffy, so after the two of them took turns using the restroom, they opened all the windows.

I put mosquito nets on the car windows; I bought them at an auto parts store, and surprisingly, the size is quite suitable.

Lin Xuan fell asleep quickly as usual. She kissed and patted him for a while, then wiped the sweat from Xiao Bao's forehead before closing her eyes as well.

There are many mosquitoes at night. In the post-apocalyptic world, mosquitoes have evolved to be quite large, making them easy to spot.

However, being bitten by this evolved giant mosquito would be quite a disaster.

Although it's not fatal, it will cause a huge swelling that is extremely painful and itchy, and may even ooze pus and become inflamed, taking ten days to half a month to heal.

Fortunately, mosquito repellent and mosquito coils still have some effect before the apocalypse.

When it was time for Xia Feng to keep watch, he still carried Lin Xuan out of the car ahead of time.

He nodded to Peng Yu and Cao Zhiyong, who were handing over the work, as a greeting.

Replace the nearly burnt-out mosquito coil on the folding table with a new one, sprinkle some floral water around it, put a mosquito repellent clip on the baby, and finally sit on the camping chair with the baby in my arms.

Zhou Lerui actually got off the bus to work the night shift. She actually wanted to take advantage of her night shift to ask Lin Xuan about her superpowers.

Xiao Bao's younger sister and her gangster boyfriend both seem to have very strong superpowers, so they must know a lot about this kind of thing.

Of the people in that car, only Silly Second Brother, Peng Yu, and Peng Xiaozhe have supernatural abilities.

None of these three people are good conversation starters.

By the way, Sun Youmei is also a superhuman, but she's a bit of a jerk. In the early days of the apocalypse, she was almost pushed into a horde of zombies.

After gaining superpowers, her acting became increasingly exaggerated. She would get dizzy and breathless after just a little water. Apart from that lecherous Cao Zhiyong, who would want to watch her performance?

She even dared to try and seduce her brother. Did she think he was stupid enough not to see through her? He was only doing it because she was still useful to him.

Little Bao is different; she's tiny and adorable, so I'll definitely be patient in answering her questions.

She even set an alarm to wake herself up so she could work the night shift. Just as she expected, Xia Feng did indeed bring Lin Xuan with him.

But why is the adorable little Bao sleeping like a piglet?

"Little Bao, Little Bao." She called out softly twice.

I tried pinching her drooping little paws, but there was no reaction!

Xia Feng glanced sideways at the woman who kept pinching and tugging at his little baby, then gathered the baby's little hands into his arms.

He doesn't want anyone to pinch his precious hands, not even women.

Holy crap, what a bastard!

Zhou Lerui's face showed the same indescribable expression as her brother's.

If she couldn't wake up her little sister, Zhou Lerui wasn't happy to just sit there staring at each other with Xia Feng.

She quietly slipped back onto the minibus, deciding to ask again when she had a chance to hitch a ride with them.

Xia Feng ignored the willful young lady and hugged his wife, kissing her affectionately!

...

The next morning, everyone ate some biscuits and other simple snacks before setting off by car.

Xia Feng explicitly rejected Peng Ze and Zhou Lerui's shameless request to hitch a ride.

Lin Xuan kept turning around and mouthing, "Next time for sure, next time for sure."

Zhou Lerui and Peng Ze nodded frantically, watching with reluctance as their gangster accomplices carried Xiaobao away and stuffed her into the car.

Because Xia Feng had to get up at 3 a.m. to work the night shift, Lin Xuan was driving today, and Xia Feng was resting in the passenger seat.

This Jeep has a manual/automatic transmission, and she can drive it.

The national highway was covered with roots and stems of mutated plants that had broken through the cement pavement and were growing arbitrarily, making the vehicles ride extremely bumpy.

Xia Feng can find his way using only a national self-driving tour map, and he led the way the whole way.

If some sections of the road are blocked by vehicles and mutated plants, you have to stop and walk around them, which makes the journey very slow.

The original plan was to reach the survivor base before dark, but that now seems unlikely.

They encountered several more attacks from novice zombies along the way.

Fortunately, there aren't many of them; they usually appear in groups of three or five.

Xia Feng could be killed with just a few lightning bolts.

Zhou Lerui wanted to train her superpowers, so she specifically asked that a few zombies be released to her area.

Seeing the young lady screaming while hacking at the zombies, Lin Xuan suspected that the zombies might have been stunned by her sound waves before she killed them.

Lin Xuan continued what she hadn't finished yesterday: communicating with the mutated plants.
