Chapter 54: A childhood friend knocks on the door

There are people living in the village. Various things are piled up to form a wall, leaving only one entrance, which is guarded by someone. The people inside are somewhat xenophobic. They even wanted to collect tolls when they came. If there weren't more than a dozen cars and too many people at that time, they might have succeeded.

Most of Lin Yimu and his team's supplies were placed on the truck. The trunk of the off-road vehicle was filled with fruits and vegetables picked yesterday. The staple food was just a few packets of biscuits, instant noodles and a can of water, which were not enough for a full meal for the group. If they didn't find supplies tonight, they would be hungry tomorrow morning.

The four people discussed it and decided not to enter the village. Instead, they found a remote courtyard near the village. After clearing out the zombies nearby, Lin Yimu went back to pick up people to lead the way, and the remaining three people looked for food around.

Most of the residents in the village were surrounded by walls, and the few scattered houses outside had either moved in or had been ransacked. The three of them looked around and only found a few green tomatoes, which were not fully grown. When everyone else arrived, they were speechless when they saw the situation.

"Is the bed ready? Let the patient rest first." Lin Yimu was carrying Lu Weiyi's backpack, Li Zhuang was holding the sleeping Lu Weiyi, Antonio was hugging the unconscious Dean, and Liu Rui was carrying Xu Sa who had not woken up yet. The group looked as embarrassed as they could be.

"There is an earthen kang, and all the bedding has been taken away, leaving only a woven mat," said Gu Qingyue, opening the door and letting them in.

After settling the four people, it was already dark outside and it was not safe to go out. The food left was only enough for one meal, and the water was only one bottle per person.

"These are all we have. Share them among you. This is all we have before we find food. You can decide when to eat them." Lin Yimu laid out all the things in the car, but did not touch Lu Weiyi's backpack.

Each person had a backpack, which contained food and daily necessities that they had put in it. All of their belongings were lost, leaving only Lu Weiyi's. It belonged to him, so naturally no one else had the right to claim a share.

Of course, the other few people really had no intention of dividing.

Several people agreed, took their own portion, and tacitly chose not to eat it.

Xu Sa is Lu Weiyi's childhood friend. When he wakes up, others will definitely have no objection if he wants to share his things with him. But if Lin Yimu gives them some at this time, it will inevitably make people feel uncomfortable. After all, they did not collect supplies together, and no one cared about having an extra mouth to feed when food was not tight before. It would be unreasonable to share it now.

As for Xiong Jie and the others, it was impossible for them to be there if they just met by chance, and Xiong Jie and the other two had no objection to this.

In the dark room, a piece of firewood was used as a torch with a piece of rag wrapped around its end, and each person sat in a corner to relieve their emotions.

"Are you hungry? I'll go look for something to eat outside." Xiong Jie could go hungry, but he didn't want to go hungry during practice.

"I had a very full lunch." Xi Shi pulled Xiong Jie to sit next to him. He wanted to get closer, but felt embarrassed in front of the younger generation. "It's too dark. Don't take the risk."

When he was young, Xiong Jie was sentenced to twenty years in prison for accidentally killing someone. He once thought that he could only wait until he was old to be reunited with his lover. Unexpectedly, the arrival of the end of the world allowed the two to be reunited ahead of schedule. Now, as long as he can be with his lover, he feels that nothing else matters.

Xiong Jie didn't care. He put his arm around Xi Shi's shoulders and let him lean on him to rest. He looked at Liu Rui, the only person he knew, and said, "Little stutterer, I heard people say that you took Xiao Xu to the Ping An Safety Base? Why are you here?"

"Sa...Brother Sa...was sick. He...they...wouldn't let us in. Later...many...zombies...attacked...the...base, so we...just...left...together." Liu Rui took a long time to finish his words. Xiong Jie must have been used to it and was very patient.

"So where are you planning to go?"

"Brother Sa...friend..." Liu Rui pointed at the sleeping Lu Weiyi and continued, "Let's go...Qing...Qingyuan, I...I will go with you."

"Are you going to Qingyuan?" This time Xiong Jie asked Lin Yimu, who seemed to have the final say in the team.

“Yes,” Lin Yimu was worried about his young master, so he responded concisely.

"We are also going to Qingyuan. Would it be convenient for us to travel together? I can give you some supplies if we find them. I won't drag you down on the road." Xiong Jie set out alone with Xi Shi and the other two, who had low combat power. It was no different from feeding zombies.

"Sure, we all know each other, so there's no need for supplies," said Lin Yimu.

"Thank you very much." Xiong Jie was not pretentious. After thanking him, he asked about Xu Sa.

"Wasn't he fine when we separated? Why is he so serious now?" They left the prison together when the zombies appeared. When Xiong Jie wanted to look for Xi, Xu Sa seemed to mean to go look for his friend.

"Later... I got... I got sick, I... I... I couldn't find... a doctor, I didn't... know... how to take medicine, and it... became... more serious." Liu Rui blamed himself very much for this. He always felt that it was his lack of education that made Xu Sa's illness worse. His eyes became red as he spoke.

"Didn't he want to go to his friend from the beginning?" You don't know his friend, so he doesn't look like someone who is incapable of not finding a doctor.

"No...I didn't go," Liu Rui said. Seeing that Xiong Jie didn't understand, he continued to explain, "I...don't...know...the road. I...just met...him...today...at noon."

After escaping the disaster, the group had no interest in talking at this time, so they just listened quietly to Liu Rui's chatter.

After hearing him talk about Xu Sa's illness, Gu Qingyue remembered to check on Xu Sa's condition. He pulled away Gu Qingji's tightly clenched hand, stood up and walked to Xu Sa who was lying on the bed. The thermometer was gone, so he could only rely on his feel. He estimated that the patient was no longer feverish, so he turned over the tightly wrapped quilt.

The quilt next to my body was already soaked with sweat, not to mention my clothes. "The fever has gone down, I need to change my clothes and drink some water."

It's not good to wear wet clothes, but there's no clothes available in this situation.

Liu Rui stripped the man naked, covered him with a quilt, and hung the clothes outside to hang.

Water... He also had a bottle of water that Lu Weiyi gave him at noon. He only drank half of it and then refilled it. It was just right now.

Liu Rui fiddled with Xu Sa clumsily, and the woven mat made a rustling sound as he moved it back and forth. Dean frowned, sat up suddenly, and cried out in a sobbing voice, "David!"

"I'm here, I'm here." Antonio was not far away from Dean. As soon as he heard the movement, he immediately ran over, hugged him in his arms, and coaxed him gently, "Baby, don't be afraid, I'm fine, look at me, I'm really fine."

"Tsk"

"grass"

Two different voices rang out, followed by two more.

"Hey, the young master is awake?"

"Brother Sa!"

In the chaos, Dean was crying uncontrollably, Antonio held her in his arms, kissing and coaxing her; Xu Sa felt sore all over, and her throat felt like it was on fire, Liu Rui at the side handed her some water, staring at her with sparkling eyes like a puppy; Lu Weiyi looked like he had not woken up yet and was very grouchy, staring at the noisy people in front of him with an expressionless face, Li Zhuang at the side stretched out his hand and waved it in front of him, but he was slapped mercilessly, and after a crisp "pop", he came to his senses a little.

"Lu Xiaoyi, we finally meet after a long journey of thousands of miles." Xu Sa smiled at Lu Weiyi with a hoarse voice, and reached out to rub his head. After being slapped by Lu Weiyi again, he replied coldly, "Xu Ergou!"

"Ergou died a long time ago," Xu Sa replied, referring to the two dogs he once raised.

Lu Weiyi also remembered it, rolled his eyes at him, and said nothing more.

"Young Master, drink some water." Lin Yimu helped Lu Weiyi sit up. As soon as he let go, Lu Weiyi fell to the side as if he had no bones, and directly fell into the arms of Li Zhuang who was leaning against the wall.

"You're being scammed?" Li Zhuang helped the man up, then realized he was powerless and let him lean on him, frowning, "What's wrong with you?"

Lu Weiyi shook his head. He was still a little tired and felt weak all over, but his mental strength was not damaged at all. He couldn't explain the reason. He took the water handed to him by Lin Yimu, but he was shaking and couldn't hold it steadily. Li Zhuang simply took it, put it close to his mouth and fed him two sips.

"How do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Lu Weiyi shook his head and said, "I don't have the strength."

"Why don't you get some sleep? You don't have to worry about us keeping watch tonight. Do you want to eat something first?"

Lu Weiyi shook his head. He was not hungry or sleepy, but just felt weak. He glanced at the small green branch on his wrist that was still dull and thought it must be related to it.

"Since you don't want to sleep, let's discuss superpowers." Li Zhuang asked Lu Weiyi to sit against the wall, leaning on his shoulder, and looking at Antonio and Liu Rui who had already demonstrated superpowers.

"Headache?" Lu Weiyi glanced at Li Zhuang. It was the first time that he consumed too much of his supernatural power. His head should be about to explode at this moment, but he was able to remain calm until now. His endurance was indeed strong.

After the superpowers are consumed, the pain can actually be alleviated by replenishing some of them. However, in the early days of the apocalypse when the crystal core has not yet appeared, one can only rely on self-recovery.

Lu Weiyi remembered that in his previous life, his supernatural powers were awakened after a heavy snowfall. At that time, even if Zhuang Mingxu consumed energy in order to train him to upgrade, he would prepare crystal cores for him as soon as possible. He had experienced that kind of pain, but it would never last too long each time.

Li Zhuang thought that the supernatural power displayed by Lu Weiyi was obviously stronger than his own, and he was sure that he might have experienced this kind of pain. He did not hide it anymore, nodded, and looked at the other two people, "Have you all experienced pain?"

Antonio held Dean in his arms, stroked his hair, and nodded, "It hurts a lot every time your superpowers are used up."

Liu Rui also nodded.

"Jin" Li Zhuang pointed at Antonio.

"Huo" nodded at Liu Rui.

"Earth" He pointed at himself.

"Wood?" He looked at Lu Weiyi.

Lu Weiyi glanced at it but didn't deny it. Zhuang Mingxu told him that he should always keep a trump card in mind and not let anyone know his abilities. Otherwise, if he chooses to deal with him, he will not be able to fight back at all.

Although many people knew that he had psychic abilities in his previous life, no one knew exactly how many abilities he had derived from them.

"So, superpowers are divided according to the five elements?" Li Zhuang pondered and glanced at Liu Rui and Lu Weiyi, "It seems that your abilities are stronger."

In the early stage of superpowers, apart from scaring timid people, the actual effect is not very practical. Like Antonio did that day, circling a table of tableware in a circle, that is considered powerful, but Lu Weiyi must have circled in a circle. In fact, he could not attack anyone because that was already the limit.

Lu Weiyi was consciously training his supernatural powers, and even though they were of no use, he would repeat the process of consumption and recovery every day. But Liu Rui had no choice. With Xu Sa, who had no abilities at all, he could only keep showing that he had supernatural powers and make people think he was not easy to mess with, so as to barely buy himself some time to escape.
