These three sentences made Long Aotian cry bitterly for me.

Bian Chengsi couldn't use any strength in his whole body. His arm felt as if the wound was smeared with chili oil. He couldn't move it and it felt heavier. Before he closed his eyes, he kept looking up at the top of the wall, deliberately avoiding his body.

The ground was a little cold, and he missed his soft and springy mattress. The infected would become monsters in the literal sense, and a decent death would become a luxury. After his consciousness disappeared, he would most likely have four more legs and seven eyes, becoming half human and half spider, spitting silk from his mouth to prey on survivors.

He was taught to be a gentleman since he was a child. As a young master raised in a wealthy family, he learned finance and social skills to make others recognize his identity as an heir.

September 1st, 3906, was a day he would never forget in his life. With the support of his parents, he went abroad to study. His ideals and future were shattered when he arrived at the airport. The end of the world suddenly came, and the civilized world turned into a huge hunting ground.

Cell phones were still usable at that time, and he listened to his mother on the other end of the line being bitten to death by his mutated father without being able to make a sound.

Bian Chengsi was lucky enough to be rescued by flight attendants and escaped, but he left his hometown quickly without even having a chance to collect his body for his family.

After two years of rushing here from Haozhou, he finally realized that he was actually nothing and that everything he had learned in the past was of no use at all. He could only rely on luck and the death of his companions to force himself to move forward. He had seen many people disperse or die, while those who claimed to be his friends were fighting for a piece of cake.

The longer the time goes, the more tired people become. In order to survive, they have to hold on to any glimmer of hope until the moment when there is no hope. Bian Chengsi feels relieved from the bottom of his heart and forgets the pain in his body. He feels his chest is very hot, and the motherly warmth makes his eyes shed tears of longing.

His body did not get cold, and there was light on his face. When Bian Chengsi opened his eyes, he thought he had reached heaven, but he did not expect that he saw the dirty top of the wall. Dawn had arrived, and today would be a sunny day...

"Hey! You finally woke up?"

Huo Chi heard the noise behind him and looked over: "I was just thinking, if you keep sleeping like this, should I help you find a frog prince to give you artificial respiration?"

Bian Chengsi felt as if he was in a trance while listening to Huo Chi's jokes. He stood there with his mouth open for a long while.

Huo Chi came closer: "What's wrong? Did you get poisoned and become mute?"

Bian Chengsi looked at the enlarged face in front of him and shook his head: "My throat hurts a little."

"It's normal to feel uncomfortable." His voice was indeed hoarse. Huo Chi gloated: "You are lucky that you were not poisoned to death. Just be happy."

Jiang Ziyao handed over a bottle of water: "Can you move now?"

Bian Chengsi's body was a little stiff, and he nodded. He looked at the two people who seemed confused, and asked hoarsely: "Why didn't you leave?"

Jiang Ziyao replied: "As long as the breath is not cut off, then you can live."

He unscrewed the water bottle.

"Hurry up and recover your strength, we still have a long way to go."

Bian Chengsi responded: "Okay."

He tried hard to get up from the ground, but his body went limp halfway through. Jiang Ziyao immediately supported him, and Huo Chi also reached out and pulled him up.

"Your legs aren't paralyzed, are they?"

Bian Chengsi raised his foot: "No."

"Then why are you such a wimp?"

Bian Chengsi pinched his leg: "It's a little cramped."

Jiang Ziyao took a quick look and asked him to sit down first: "It will be fine in a while, it's not a big deal."

Bian Chengsi's gaze kept following him. Jiang Ziyao paused and was about to say something when Bian Chengsi suddenly bent forward and his lips began to tremble.

Jiang Ziyao frowned: "What's wrong with you?"

He had the weight of Bian Chengsi in his hands, and his body tensed up and he was on guard.

"Having a seizure?" Huo Chi stared at him suspiciously.

Bian Chengsi was shaking his head and also remained silent.

Huo Chi was worried, and sparks appeared on his palms, warning: "You'd better be okay."

Bian Chengsi tried hard to purse his lips, and his face looked better than when he fell into a deep sleep.

"Thank you." He took a breath and finally managed to say.

Bian Chengsi looked up at Jiang Ziyao, a familiar feeling coming from his heart. In an instant, his emotions overflowed from his dark eyes and tears kept falling. When he realized that he could not hold back his tears, he lowered his head and washed the dust on the cement with his tears.

Huo Chi didn't expect that he was just going to cry.

People are more cunning than other species in seeking benefits and avoiding harm. The weak will only be abandoned and become stepping stones for others. They cannot be good people, nor do they expect anyone to save them.

He was living in a cramped space just to adapt to this indifferent environment, but suddenly someone appeared, held his hand and told him that he was not alone. This feeling was so good that he was afraid he could not keep it.

Bian Chengsi cried silently, and Jiang Ziyao watched him wipe away his tears in silence.

"That's enough." Huo Chi squeezed over and helped Bian Chengsi up. "You delayed us for the whole night. Fortunately, you didn't die, otherwise we would have lost a lot."

"Brother Jiang, take a rest. I'll do it."

Jiang Ziyao nodded, Huo Chi took the water from his hand, and he walked leisurely to the side and lit a cigarette.

"Drink more, this is the water that Brother Jiang risked his life to get!" Huo Chi poured the water into Bian Chengsi's mouth and muttered, "This can't happen a second time. I don't want Brother Jiang to go out alone, but you can't just leave this trouble here. If something goes wrong here, you will drag Brother Jiang down."

Bian Chengsi swallowed the water hungrily. Huo Chi's rough action made his chin wet. He recovered a little strength, twisted his numb arm, and nodded quietly.

Huo Chi warned him: "If this happens again, I will make Jiang Ge ignore you."

Bian Chengsi still nodded, there was no smell of gunpowder on him. Huo Chi clicked his tongue and felt that talking was boring instead.

The feeling in his limbs returned, and Bian Chengsi stood up. Jiang Ziyao looked into the distance and blew smoke rings. He crouched beside him and asked, "Are we friends now?"

The zombies were still being roasted downstairs. Jiang Ziyao raised his head in the smoke, looked at Bian Chengsi, and said, "If you say it is, it is."

Bian Chengsi asked: "Can I call you Brother Jiang from now on?"

"casual."

Huo Chi stepped in and pushed Bian Chengsi aside: "Don't try to get close to me. Call me if you have anything to say. Don't bother Brother Jiang."

Bian Chengsi was directly knocked away. He stood firm and said, "I just have a question."

Huo Chi narrowed his eyes and said, "Speak."

Bian Chengsi became serious: "I was clearly infected with the toxin, so why am I still alive? How did you save me?"

He was sure that it was Jiang Ziyao and the others who saved him. Huo Chi smiled and said, "What? You've cried your eyes out, and now you're clear-headed?"

He glanced at Bian Chengsi and said, "But we can't take the credit for this. Then you have to ask the thing on your neck. It keeps glowing."

"This stone?" Bian Chengsi took out the necklace from under his collar.

Huo Chi nodded: "When you were not awake, it was glowing green. What is this treasure of yours?"

"It's just a piece of stone." Bian Chengsi never thought it was anything special.

At first glance, the pendant of the necklace is just an ordinary stone on the roadside, but it still has some residual heat when held in the palm of the hand. Bian Chengsi recalled: "I met a woman on the road, and she gave it to me. She told me that it can be used as a peace stone, so I have been wearing it. I didn't know that it can also be used to detoxify."

"Then she must be an extraordinary person, and her special powers must have been stored here." Jiang Ziyao said. He took out the stone and checked it while Bian Chengsi was unconscious.

【Special category.】

【Level: Intermediate.】

This was the information given by the stone. As a Long Aotian, opportunity was naturally indispensable. He even guessed that there might be an old man living inside who could impart his experience, but the result was somewhat disappointing.

"But it won't be able to save you in the future." Jiang Ziyao flicked his cigarette and reminded him, "This will be consumed. It will be useless after this use."

The light of the stone was already very dim. Bian Chengsi nodded and put the necklace back on: "I didn't expect that she would be able to help me once after she left."

Huo Chi said: "This ability is really great. Can it save her even if she is bitten by a zombie? It would be a pity if she died."

"She is not dead." Bian Chengsi said, "Her ability is very important to humans, so she was taken away by the alien team in advance. I guess she should also be in Utopia. If I can meet her, I will definitely thank her in person."

"Oh, I've never told you that the mayor of Utopia is actually my uncle." Bian Chengsi admitted, "My father and he are old friends, and we were engaged when we were children. If there hadn't been the apocalypse, I would have gotten married next year."

However, Jiang Ziyao and Huo Chi's reactions were somewhat cold. Huo Chi even questioned, "Is your identity reliable?"

Bian Chengsi nodded: "Uncle Zhou is the person my father trusts the most. He has been very kind to me since I was a child. My friends have sent letters for me before. Uncle Zhou also hopes that I can get to Utopia as soon as possible."

The cigarette butt was getting shorter and shorter. Jiang Ziyao was used to crushing the cigarette butt. He frowned and said, "Do you have any idea who wants to kill you?"

Bian Chengsi shook his head: "I thought about my father's former opponents, but in this case there is no need to send people to kill me. However, if they appear again, I will make sure they leave with their lives!"

"When I went out just now, I saw the bloodstains they left behind. They were injured and helped us clean up the zombies along the way. They will naturally not cause us any more trouble in the short term." Jiang Ziyao did not delve into it: "After we have rested, we will get closer to the highway and try to reach Tianhai City as soon as possible."

"Give me the bag." Jiang Ziyao waved.

Huo Chi handed the bag over and took out the map from it: "We can take the Gangao Expressway directly, turn left onto the Wuze Expressway and enter Tianhai City."

They didn't have a car, so it took them a long time to get there. The alien group escaped, and Jiang Ziyao didn't plan to hide. He knew that the other party would definitely find a way to find their whereabouts. He simply left these people aside and went directly to the abandoned clothing store to change clothes and took a shower in the park.

Bian Chengsi and Huo Chi each had a bag filled with the remaining supplies. They had a smooth journey on the highway, taking out the zombies on the roadside and looting every car, but there were very few things they could get. There must be other survivors who had walked this road.

But where will Utopia be built? Tianhai City is not small. Jiang Ziyao was holding a map and pondering when Bian Chengsi suddenly ran up to him and put something in his hand.

He rolled up the map. The object in his hand was a little heavy, like a white stone. As soon as he opened it, he smelled sweetness. It was a can of candy.

This was found by Bian Chengsi on the carriage of an old tricycle. There was a red plastic bag tied to the jar. The owner of the tricycle was an old woman. He thanked her and gave her a ride. This kind of candy can be preserved for a long time, which is a surprise.

Jiang Ziyao asked: "What are you going to do for me?"

Bian Chengsi asked back: "Aren't you... hypoglycemic?"

"Oh... I didn't expect you would remember."

"Of course, Jiang Ge's business is my business."

“…”

Jiang Ziyao paused, but he had already forgotten the reason. Giving him a can of candy was worse than a pack of cigarettes.

Jiang Ziyao said politely, "Thank you."

Bian Chengsi: “You’re welcome.”

"Ho Chi!"

Jiang Ziyao turned his head and shouted.

Huo Chi responded loudly: "I'm here!"

Jiang Ziyao said, "Come here."

"Brother Jiang, what's wrong?"

Huo Chi ran over quickly.

Jiang Ziyao quickly handed him the candy jar and said, "The candy is quite useful. Keep it well."

Huo Chi was surprised. He looked at Bian Chengsi and asked, "Did you find it?"

Bian Chengsi: “Yeah.”

"You're lucky, kid."

Bian Chengsi: "Not bad."

Huo Chi opened the lid, reached out and took one to taste it: "It's edible, quite sweet."

After eating, he closed the jar again. Jiang Ziyao didn't move, and Huo Chi didn't ask him and ate it himself. Bian Chengsi frowned and asked, "Brother Jiang, why don't you eat?"

Jiang Ziyao looked at the map carefully and shook his head.

"Little boy, you don't know this, do you?" Huo Chi smiled, holding the candy jar in one hand, and said something frivolous. He deliberately leaned towards Bian Chengsi and said to him carefully: "Brother Jiang never likes sweet things. You can't force him to do anything even if you are kind. His candy will be given to me, and I also eat the candy given to him by others. What you give to Brother Jiang is the same as giving it to me, so use it to honor me."
