Chapter Sixty-Nine: Want to Sleep Forever?

Lu Yuyang reached out and grabbed Qiao Xi's arm, pulling her to the side.

At the same time, he looked at the black mist and said, "If you are really a superhuman and can break this steel frame, please help me. I can offer you a crystal core as payment."

As soon as he finished speaking, the black mist suddenly passed by Josie and disappeared into the steel frame.

Lu Yuyang was on guard when the black mist wrapped around the steel frame, seemingly without much effort.

Those seemingly indestructible steel frames were torn to pieces.

Lu Yuyang was shocked. As promised, he took out one or two evolved zombie crystal cores from his pocket and handed them over. "Thank you for your help. These two are evolved zombie crystal cores."

As soon as he finished speaking, his hand remained open, and the two crystal cores were still not taken away.

Josie stared at the cloud of black mist. "Don't you want payment?"

The black mist slowly drifted and gathered around her.

Upon noticing this, Lu Yuyang quickly reached out.

But it was too late. The black mist enveloped Josie completely and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Josh!"

Although Josie couldn't see the person next to her, she could clearly feel a pair of arms around her waist.

Lu Yuyang seemed unable to see her and chased after her in another direction.

"Lu Yuyang, don't worry, he won't hurt me."

After she finished speaking, she clearly felt the hands that were wrapped around her waist stiffen for a moment.

But soon, the black mist swept her out of the window.

Many more zombies wandered into the streets outside, aimlessly moving back and forth.

She was enveloped in black mist as she drifted past the zombies, who seemed completely unaware of her presence.

As if drifting across two streets, Josie was enveloped in black mist and entered a building.

This is an apartment building with an elevator.

She was enveloped in black mist as she went up the emergency exit, up to the seventh or eighth floor, and then pushed open the emergency door.

The black fog stopped outside a house.

She even heard the sound of a lock being opened.

The door was quickly opened, and Josie was pulled into the house.

With a "bang," the door slammed shut.

The black mist drifted away from her.

Josie ignored the black mist and instead strolled around as if she were in her own home.

It was pitch black, and I couldn't see anything.

But she had just touched the furniture, and her fingers were not dusty.

Clearly, this place is inhabited and is kept very clean.

Snap!

Josie heard a sound coming from the room, and then a dim light came on.

Although it was dimly lit, it was enough for her to see everything in the room.

The light emanates from solar-powered lights along the edge of the sofa.

She glanced at it, then simply picked up the solar light and walked it around the house.

It has a two-bedroom, one-living room layout, and the rooms are very clean.

That's good, we can stay here tonight.

Is there water for washing up?

She spoke bluntly to the air, unaware of where the dark aura was hiding.

After a long while, a somewhat hoarse voice came from the empty room, "It's in the bathroom."

"Thanks."

She opened the bathroom door as if she were at home and quickly washed herself.

It's not unusual to have water. For a powerful ability user like him, obtaining water from water-based ability users in certain settlements is not difficult.

After washing, she felt much better.

When I returned to the living room, I found cookies, instant noodles, and even a sausage on the coffee table.

She was starving, and because of him, she hadn't even taken her backpack.

All the supplies were left in that warehouse.

I walked over to the sofa, sat down, opened the cookie package, and started eating.

She ate several pieces, barely enough to fill her stomach, and then looked around.

Aren't you going to eat?

No one responded to her.

Very well, she'll see how long he can hold out.

After eating half a box of cookies and drinking half a bottle of water, Josie patted her lower abdomen contentedly.

“I’m sleepy,” Josie yawned and stood up. “Are you hiding because you don’t want to see me? Then let’s talk about it when I wake up.”

After saying that, she randomly found a room and lay down on the bed.

The sheets even smelled fresh after being exposed to the sun.

She took a deep sniff, then hugged the blanket and quickly drifted off to sleep.

After she fell asleep, the door, which was not closed properly, was pushed open from the outside.

A tall man strode in from outside.

He walked to the bedside and sat down.

The black mist obscured his face; from a distance, one could only see wisps of black mist swirling around him, adding to his mystique.

Josie seemed to be sleeping very soundly and relaxed, and didn't even notice that someone was sitting next to her.

The man sat for a long time, so long that Josie, who had been sleeping in one position for too long, changed positions and continued sleeping.

When she woke up, the sunlight had already made the whole room very bright.

She looked at the cozy furnishings in the room, feeling somewhat dazed.

She was covered with a floral quilt, which looked brand new.

Sunlight streamed through the purple curtains, making the whole room feel dreamy and vibrant.

If the world outside hadn't been riddled with holes, Josie would have almost thought the apocalypse hadn't happened yet.

It took me a few seconds to regain my senses.

She rubbed her head, put on her slippers, got up, and walked outside step by step.

After going to the restroom to relieve herself and cleaning up, she saw the food on the table, and even an extra carton of milk.

Josie chuckled softly. How thoughtful!

A quick glance revealed a chair in the corner of the living room, surrounded by black mist.

Clearly, the superhuman who kidnapped her was sitting there.

"Thank you for preparing food for me," Josie said with a smile, holding up the milk in her hand and waving it at him. "Aren't you going to eat?"

"have eaten."

The voice coming from the black fog was as rough and hoarse as ever.

Josie didn't say anything more and focused on eating her food.

"Thank you for taking me in. May I go now?"

Having eaten and wiped everything clean, Josie thanked the other person very politely.

"No, you can't leave!"

The black mist clearly moved, and she could feel the person sitting there stand up.

"Why can't you leave? Do you want me to stay with you?" Josie tilted her head and smiled at him, her eyes showing no fear or apprehension towards the strange superhuman, as if she was certain he wouldn't hurt her.

"Anyway, you can't leave here. If you get hungry, I'll bring you food. There are no zombies threatening you here..."

After saying that, the black mist drifted over, passed by her, and headed towards the door. "I have something to do and need to go out for a while. Don't try to escape. I will find you, and I might lock you up."

After saying that, the man placed his hand on the doorknob.

Josie stared at his retreating figure. "I'm definitely leaving, and you can't stop me."

The man who had reached the door paused. "Then give it a try. If I can bring you back once, I can bring you back many times."

Josie crossed her arms, stared at the outline of the black mist, and said with a smile, "You're so hung up on me after just one time?"

The figure in the black mist suddenly froze.

Josie, as if that wasn't enough, asked, "Did I guess right? Shen Han..."
