Everyone sat around the small round table.

He Chao picked up a piece of beef and began to flatter her, "Sister Ling, your knife skills are absolutely amazing! Even hot pot restaurants can't cut such beautiful slices."

Jiang Ling glared at him, but smiled and said, "Stop talking nonsense, your sister Ling doesn't fall for that."

Lin Xi listlessly poked at the raw meat on the plate, feeling extremely pained. Why could everyone else eat delicious food, but she could only eat this kind of unpalatable raw beef!

She refused to accept it!

The key thing is that her sense of taste has returned. After chewing a few times, she can taste the flavors. Besides the meaty smell, there is also a faint sour taste, which makes her feel nauseous.

Lin Xi was seriously considering whether to use a different poison, one that could destroy the sense of taste.

【No. 】

Wow.

They're eavesdropping on this?

Lin Xi silently rolled her eyes.

Yan Xiangxiang, who was sitting opposite, looked up and happened to see this scene, and her expression froze.

Was that eye roll directed at her? What did it mean? Was it because she had said something thoughtless that hurt her earlier? Or did she think she was entirely responsible for Uncle Jiang's injury last time?

She silently put down her chopsticks, twisting her fingers, her face looking very unpleasant.

Yan Xiangxiang became much quieter after that, and Lin Xi didn't pay any attention to her, so she was completely unaware of it.

At night, they stayed up until midnight gazing at the stars, which caused them to all sleep in late the next day.

Brother Long was the first to get up.

After he went down and looked around, he came back with an extremely grim expression.

"The car was stolen."

Everyone exclaimed in surprise, "What?"

Lin Xi felt as if someone was squeezing her trachea, making it hard for her to breathe.

The car? Stolen? When will she be able to get to D City?

The thought of her reunion with her brother being postponed indefinitely made her angry, and the word "anger" was written all over her face.

"Xiao Xi, are you angry?"

Isn't it obvious that Lin Xi doesn't want to pay attention?

He Chao, however, looked at her like she was watching a monkey, and turned to share with the others, "Hey, this is the first time I've seen her expression so vivid."

Lin Xi pouted. What kind of person is this?!

Jiang Ling spoke up, "Let's see if there are any other cars?"

"What other cars are there? Almost all the cars that could be driven away have already been driven away. The remaining cars are all severely damaged and cannot be driven at all."

Everyone's heart sank to the bottom at that moment.

This meant they would have to walk to D city, and the sheer distance alone, not to mention their heavy luggage, was enough to make them sigh with despair.

Does this mean our trip to D City is coming to an end?

“Um…” Jiang Yuan raised her hand, “I left my Bluetooth earphones in the car, they should still have power.”

Why are we talking about Bluetooth earphones again? Nobody really wanted to comfort her. Losing a cheap Bluetooth earphone is one thing, but losing the car means they can't get to the safe zone in D City as quickly as possible.

"What I meant was that my Bluetooth headset has a GPS tracking function. If my phone can be charged, it should be able to find the car's location using navigation."

He Chao urged, "Then charge it quickly!"

Jiang Yuan said helplessly, "There's a power outage everywhere, and there's nowhere to charge."

What a coincidence! Lin Xi's power bank, which she had stockpiled, still had a little bit of power left.

Since she was able to speak, she hasn't used her phone much, so the power bank's battery has been saved and has actually come in handy.

Ten minutes later, the power bank's indicator light went out.

It has fulfilled its last purpose and has honorably retired.

Lin Xi carefully put it away in her small backpack with a pained expression, then turned around and looked at Jiang Yuan's phone with nervous anticipation—her last hope.

"It's not far, about five kilometers!"

"Let's go! Everyone who can fight, go!" Brother Long cracked his knuckles.

Lin Xi was also eager to get started!

Even if this guy has superpowers, she's going to beat him up! She'll beat him black and blue until she's satisfied!

She has absolutely no sense of direction! If she tries to get there on foot, it's not just a matter of when she'll arrive, but whether she'll even get there at all. If he really steals the car, it will completely destroy her hopes! Shameful and hateful!

The group rode two dilapidated shared bicycles all the way to a convenience store, but the door was locked from the inside, meaning the person was still inside.

The four of them sat on the steps with their legs spread apart, like street thugs.

After waiting for half an hour, the sound of a lock being opened came from inside. The group immediately became alert and assumed fighting stances.

These past few days, the zombies haven't been fighting for nothing.

The group of men made significant improvements in their physical strength, endurance, and fighting skills.

The person who came out didn't even have time to see clearly before a huge fist came flying at him and made intimate contact with his face.

The force of the punch was so great that his entire body fell backward.

That wasn't all; he felt as if countless fists were frantically and relentlessly pounding at him.

"Brother, let's talk this out, don't hit me... Ah!"

"Are there any accomplices?"

He shook his head in fear. "I live alone at home, and I felt it was inconvenient, so I got a car. I didn't know the car had an owner! After all, our city has been deserted for days!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Lin Xi punched him, giving him a black eye.

The man cried bitterly, "Stop hitting my sister, it hurts so much!"

Snap!

Another slap.

"Shut up, what are you crying about, you grown man?" Lin Xi threatened fiercely.

The person looked aggrieved and forced back their tears.

"Hand over the car keys," Brother Long said impatiently.

He glanced at his hands, which were being held above his head, and wondered how to place them.

Lin Xi glanced at it and immediately said, "It's in the shirt pocket."

He Chao took out the keys, then looked at the car thief. "Brother Long, what should we do with him?"

Upon hearing this, the car thief shuddered.

He knew that many people with superpowers had recently awakened, and most of them, relying on their strength, treated the lives of ordinary people as worthless, readily resorting to violence and killing.

Waaaaah, he's never been in a relationship before, he doesn't want to die here!

The man's terrifying voice slowly sounded in my ear, "How about we continue beating him up?"

He glanced at Lin Xi subconsciously, feeling like crying but having no tears left.

Damn, this girl looks short and small, but her punches and slaps really hurt! She's still hitting him? He's almost killed by this!

"Please spare my life, brothers and sisters! I promise I'll never do it again!"

His voice was trembling with tears, and for some reason, Lin Xi could hear a pitiful quality coming from this man, which annoyed her, and she clicked her tongue in annoyance.

The car thief was immediately so frightened that he dared not breathe.

Brother Long spoke up, "Do you have any gasoline? Fill up our tank and we'll let you off the hook."

He was overjoyed, exclaiming, "Yes, yes, yes! I know where the nearest gas station is, I'll take you there right now!"
