Chapter 5: The popular cannon fodder in the apocalyptic literature 4

Suddenly, a white light flashed outside the window, followed by a deafening thunder, like a bolt from the blue. The girl was startled and the grapes in her hand fell.

When the thunder sounded, Qi Yan immediately turned to look at the girl on the sofa. She was startled and left her seat to come to the sofa. Then, Yan Chuanhao and Lu Feng also came over.

"Qiao Qiao, are you scared?" Qi Yan asked in a deep voice. Seeing the girl just staring blankly out the window, he felt worried. He slowed his voice and said, "Don't be afraid, it was just thunder."

"Is it thundering?" Nan Qiao muttered to himself, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Is it going to rain?"

Sure enough, in less than half a minute, heavy rain poured down, crackling, crackling, and the bean-sized raindrops hit the window, making bursts of sound.

"It's really raining!" Nan Qiao exclaimed excitedly, immediately stood up from the sofa, and wanted to run to the kitchen excitedly!

Qi Yan was a little confused by the girl's actions, and quickly reached out and pulled her into his arms. He asked with a smile, "Qiao Qiao, do you want to get some water?"

It was so easy to guess what the girl was thinking, her clear black and white eyes made it clear to everyone.

Nan Qiao nodded. The villa's water supply had been completely cut off since the apocalypse. It hadn't rained in two weeks, and the water stored before the apocalypse was almost gone. Since it was a rare rain, she had to go get some water.

Lu Feng thought of the white plastic bucket in the kitchen and smiled slightly, "Why bother, Qiao Qiao? We can get you some clean water. Rainwater is not clean, so it's better not to use it."

The girl was a little confused by his words.

Qi Yan waved his hand, and a white, empty bucket appeared in the living room. Yan Chuanhao raised his hand, and a block of ice, emitting a chilling air, gradually condensed above his palm. Lu Feng also raised his hand, and a ball of fire emerged from his palm.

The two men pushed their hands at the same time, and the ice and fire flew to the top of the white bucket and met each other. The ice melted when it met the fire, and soon turned into a ball of water and fell into the white bucket, filling the bucket.

Nan Qiao stared at the miraculous scene before her, her mouth slightly open. After Qi Yan's explanation, she already knew that people with special abilities existed, but she had never expected that the other two boys were also special.

"Okay, Qiao Qiao, here's the water you requested!" Lu Feng raised his eyebrows. "What are you going to use it for? Do you need us to help you carry it over?"

The girl looked at the water in the white bucket with a touch of joy; it was enough for her to wash. Her bright eyes looked at them again, and her words were filled with admiration: "Thank you, you're amazing." Her words revealed a closeness that she hadn't even noticed.

They noticed the change in the girl's attitude towards them, but remained expressionless. Yan Chuanhao's face softened slightly and he asked, "Where do you want to move the water? I'll help you."

Nan Qiao couldn't carry this whole bucket of water by herself. She asked shyly, "Can you please move it to the bathroom in my room?" Perhaps still feeling embarrassed, she said in a whisper, "I want to take a bath."

Yan Chuanhao nodded and quickly carried the bucket of water upstairs. Nan Qiao said something to the other two and followed them upstairs.

Lu Feng and Qi Yan put their hands in their pockets and watched the two people go upstairs. When the girl's graceful back was out of sight, Lu Feng's smile faded.

"Let's go out tomorrow." Lu Feng said nonchalantly. Qi Yan nodded. It was indeed time to go out, or rather, he had to go out for the next few days.

After all, if you want to grow the most beautiful flowers in the end times, you still need the most luxurious greenhouse.

The rain has been falling for three days and three nights. Nan Qiao sat in front of the window in the room, holding his chin, staring at the still dripping rain outside the window with his mind empty.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. She came to her senses and opened it. It was Lu Feng outside. Seeing her open the door, he asked, "Qiao Qiao, what would you like to eat for lunch?" His tone was gentle.

"Anything is fine, Brother Lu, everything you cook is delicious." Nan Qiao said with a smile, and her words were not a compliment. Everything Lu Feng cooked was indeed delicious. After saying that, she asked, "Are Brother Yan and Brother Qi out again today?"

After two days of getting along, Nan Qiao and the three of them became increasingly familiar with each other and their relationship grew closer. She also knew that they seemed to be taking turns going out these past two days. On the first day, it was Qi Yan and Lu Feng, the day before yesterday it was Qi Yan and Yan Chuanhao, and yesterday it was Qi Yan and Lu Feng again. Every day, one of the boys would stay at the villa, and each time they went out, they would return to the villa before dinner. The girl was a little curious. What were they doing out in such heavy rain?

Lu Feng nodded and didn't explain too much to the girl. The girl didn't need to understand these things. She just needed to live a carefree life under their wings.

What Lu Feng made today was winter melon and pork ribs soup, cucumber and shrimp, and a steamed sea bass.

The girl was busy serving rice when she saw the group of students coming down from upstairs. She smiled and greeted them, "Have you eaten yet?"

The students on the stairs looked at the girl's small face and couldn't help but gasp, almost stepping on empty air. Such a face, no matter how many times they saw it, they would always feel amazed.

Lu Keyue concealed the surprise in her eyes, and smiled when she heard the words. She held up the ingredients that Qi Yan had taken out from the space that morning and said, "You guys eat first, we'll be able to eat later."

Nan Qiao looked at the girl's hand, which had the same ingredients as on her table, and didn't say anything else. After all, the food was cooked by Lu Feng, and she couldn't be generous to others.

She picked up a piece of shrimp and put it in her mouth. The wonderful taste spread across her tongue and she squinted her eyes happily.

Lu Feng chuckled. No matter how many times he saw her like a well-fed kitten, he would always find her very cute.

The two of them finished eating quickly. The girl took the initiative to clean up the dishes, and Lu Feng did not stop her. The few days of getting along with each other were enough for them to understand the girl's personality.

She is kind and helpful. Whenever she sees other people in the villa doing something, she will step forward to lend a hand. She has a soft personality and easily feels guilty.

Watching her wash the dishes and wipe the table, he took out a bottle of hand sanitizer and motioned her to wash her hands. After washing, he took out a bottle of hand cream and asked her to apply it. Such beautiful slender fingers must not have any flaws.

After finishing everything, Lu Feng took out a plate of washed grapes, which Qi Yan had given her in the morning. After spending the past two days together, they also got to know some of the girl's preferences.

I don’t eat meals that are heavy in oil or salt. I like all fruits except apples and durian. I like pasta, but as a southerner, I am also used to eating rice.

Looking at the girl's satisfied little face, Lu Feng thought that he needed to collect more recipes.

By dinner time, the rain had subsided, and Qi Yan and the others had returned. The four of them ate dinner together, and after dinner, Nan Qiao wanted to clear the dishes as usual, but Qi Yan stopped her.

She was a little confused when he took the dishes from her hands and pulled her to sit on the sofa. The three boys sat down around him.

"Qiao Qiao, we want to tell you something." Qi Yan spoke first: "The rain is about to stop, and we have decided to set off north to City B tomorrow."

The girl was obviously stunned when she heard this. She felt a little reluctant and lost as she said, "Let's leave tomorrow." She had been very happy these past few days and had forgotten for a moment that they were only staying here temporarily and would leave sooner or later.

Unable to bear the disappointment on the girl's face, Lu Feng asked impatiently, "Qiao Qiao, are you willing to go to City B with us?"

The girl was stunned again. She had always thought that the country would send people to rescue the survivors, and had never considered going with them. Moreover, she couldn't do anything, and her body was weak. She would most likely become a burden to them, and they had no obligation to help her. She was about to refuse when Qi Yan's reasonable voice sounded.

"Qiao Qiao, don't be so quick to reject us." Qi Yan's tone was gentle, but with a strong tone that could not be rejected.

"We know Qiao Qiao wants to wait for the country's rescue, but in this apocalyptic world, the country's ability to rescue survivors is still too limited. It's simply impossible to save the survivors of S City in such a short time." Qi Yan broke down everything and clarified the interests with the girl: "We have been going in and out of various towns in S City these past few days and found that most of the towns have been occupied by zombies."

"Furthermore, these zombies will mutate." Yan Chuanhao, standing beside him, said this seriously. Qi Yan nodded and continued, "The abilities of the superpowered can become stronger, and so can the zombies. By then, the villa area will not only be filled with ordinary, slow-moving zombies."

"We have also received news that many mutated plants and animals have appeared in various places."

Nan Qiao felt a chill run down her spine and turned pale after hearing these words. She had always believed that the zombies she had seen outside the villa were the scariest monsters of the apocalypse. Unexpectedly, this was only the beginning of the apocalypse, and there were so many monsters she had never seen before that were threatening humanity's safety.

Looking at Nan Qiao's little face that turned pale with fear, the three of them felt a little distressed, but they had no other choice. Only when Qiao Qiao fully realized the dangers of the apocalypse now and in the future, would she be willing to leave with them.

Qi Yan immediately embraced the frightened girl. As soon as the soft body entered his arms, he sighed with satisfaction. He soothed her, "Qiao Qiao, come with us to City B. We will protect you."

Lu Feng also coaxed softly: "Qiao Qiao, it's too dangerous for you to stay here alone, can you come with us?"

Yan Chuanhao also said: "The three of us are all quite strong, more than enough to protect you alone."

The girl still didn't answer. She turned to look out the window. The rain had stopped, but three days of heavy downpours hadn't completely washed away the bloodstains left by the zombies feasting on humans. The bloodstains had now turned black, spreading across the pure black asphalt, revealing the cruelty of this apocalyptic world.

The scene of zombies eating people a few days ago once again appeared clearly in Nan Qiao's mind, and a hint of obvious fear flashed in Nan Qiao's bright eyes.

"Can I really leave with you?" Nan Qiao was still a little hesitant: "I'm so weak, I might drag you down."

Lu Feng laughed and said proudly, "Qiao Qiao, we are very strong. You don't need to worry about this at all."

Qi Yan also smiled in agreement and said softly, "Qiao Qiao will never be a burden to us."

A smile seemed to flash across Yan Chuanhao's eyes, and he nodded: "We are very strong, stronger than many people."

Hearing Lu Feng and Yan Chuanhao's boasting, Nan Qiao's worries seemed to disappear. She couldn't help but smile, her eyebrows curved and her eyes like crescent moons.

Having already decided to leave tomorrow, the girl didn't hesitate. She knew that once she left, it would be difficult for her to return, so she had to pack her luggage carefully.
