"Is there a mirror?"

Jiang Ling was startled when she heard Lin Xi suddenly speak.

"Xiao Xi, what's wrong?"

Jiang Ling wasn't the only one startled; everyone except Brother Long, who was driving, turned to look at her.

Jiang Ling took out a mirror. To be honest, she hadn't looked at herself in a long time. Since she came out, she hadn't even put on makeup, so naturally she didn't dare to look in the mirror.

I know without even thinking that I must look very haggard.

Lin Xi took it and then took off her sunglasses.

Everyone finally got a clear look at what she looked like.

Her skin was fair and smooth, and the blue veins that used to be prominent on her face had faded considerably, resembling the slightly more visible blood vessels of a normal person.

She has a small nose, round eyes with clear black and white, and very expressive eyes.

You can tell at a glance that he is still very young.

Yan Xiangxiang asked in surprise, "Are you alright?"

Not really.

The incident at the convenience store had given her a strong sense of crisis.

She originally thought that as long as she could extract superpowers, people in other places would also begin to awaken one after another.

This was definitely an extremely dangerous signal for her, a zombie.

So Lin Xi originally wanted to store more medicine, in case it could save her life in a critical moment.

Let's go back to the gas station.

—I want to participate in the lottery and win two doses of medicine.

[Ding! The system shop is now open, unlocking the medicine section for you.]

[The lottery has ended. Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Five Senses Enhancement Agent.]

—What's it for?

The symptoms of zombification will be somewhat alleviated.

—If I drink this potion a few more times, will I be able to turn back into a human?

No, only a specific drug for the zombie virus has this effect.

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained one bottle of the Panacea for Wounds.]

After listening, Lin Xi did not hesitate and immediately drank the five senses enhancement agent. Improving her five senses was already a huge benefit for her.

After the medication took effect for a period of time, she did feel that her vision, hearing, touch and smell were much more sensitive, even stronger than when she was healthy.

Although Lin Xi didn't say it directly, everyone was happy for her, as she was looking more and more like a normal person.

The SUV was parked in a deserted forest.

This is the safest place Brother Long could think of after weighing the options; there won't be a large number of zombies, and it's unlikely he'll encounter any other humans.

It's already 10 o'clock.

He Chao's stomach was growling with hunger, and he moved around much more quickly setting up the pot. Yan Xiangxiang came over and cooked noodles.

After finishing their meal, everyone gathered around to check the supplies. Jiang Yuan searched for a while and then said anxiously, "Our rice is gone!"

"After it was moved downstairs this morning, it seems it wasn't moved back." Jiang Ling then remembered that she seemed to have seen it in the corner of the gas station this morning.

"He Chao!" Yan Xiangxiang glared angrily. "How can you be so unreliable?"

"I forgot." He pushed up his glasses, looking somewhat guilty and ashamed.

Yan Xiangxiang stamped her foot anxiously, "Then we simply haven't had enough to eat these past few days!"

"Let's go into a supermarket when we see one on the way; maybe they'll still have some rice left," Brother Long said, stepping in between the two to mediate.

Yan Xiangxiang's eyes were brimming with tears. He Chao caught a glimpse of her and didn't even dare to lift his head.

"Alright, Xiangxiang, it's understandable that a few things went wrong in such a chaotic situation. Getting anxious won't solve anything, right?" Jiang Ling pulled her away and patted her back to comfort her.

Lin Xi knew that supermarkets with their doors open now had hardly any food left, let alone scarce resources like rice.

The only reason I was able to provide them with a steady stream of supplies in City A was because Aunt Hongxia had given me the warehouse password.

But now that she's outside, where can she get the warehouse password?

Lin Xi said, "If all else fails, we'll just have to hunt wild rabbits and go fishing."

Yan Xiangxiang's eyes were filled with tears, and she looked pitiful and touching. "But how can people live without rice? Lin Xi, didn't you manage to get so much stuff before? Could you go and get some more rice?"

Lin Xi couldn't do that, so she chose to tell them directly about Aunt Hongxia's existence.

“I had so much food before because I saved an aunt who worked at a supermarket, and she told me the password. But there are no such coincidences in the world. I can’t save another warehouse manager and get another supermarket’s warehouse password.”

"Alright, I'll drive back and take a look later." Brother Long finally spoke up. He was starting to feel that Yan Xiangxiang was being unreasonable, and his attitude worsened.

This whole thing happened because of the hasty escape. In such an emergency, it's normal for He Chao to make mistakes. It's one thing for her to scold him a couple of times, but she actually started making some unreasonable demands on Xiao Xi.

ill!

"I'll go with you!"

Brother Long frowned and refused sternly, "No, you and I are the only ones with superpowers among us. You have to stay here to protect the others."

Yan Xiangxiang stopped talking, but her eyes were still red.

Lin Xi glanced at her with a probing look, but didn't say anything more. He felt that something was off about Yan Xiangxiang.

His words and actions don't match; he says one thing and does another. It's very strange.

He Chao followed Long Ge, "I'll go with you, after all, it was my mistake this time."

Brother Long nodded.

The remaining few people used the tools they took out of the car to set up two tents. It took them two hours to drive from the gas station to here, and a round trip would take at least four hours.

However, Yan Xiangxiang felt that nothing dangerous should happen, so she didn't stand guard outside.
