At night, while lying on the bed in the bedroom, Xia Feng was hugged tightly by Lin Xuan.
Since they started dating, this has been their sleeping arrangement. Lin Xuan didn't feel awkward as she had imagined. She felt at ease, as if this was the place where her heart belonged and that this was how it should be.
Her brother always wanted to kiss her, even though his beard was prickly and he was disgusted by her saliva on her face, which made her delicate face turn red.
"Xiao Bao, are you asleep?" Xia Feng kissed Lin Xuan enough, then rested his chin on the top of her head and asked softly.
Lin Xuan was still covering her face with one hand, and she was about to fall asleep. She mumbled, "Almost there, what's wrong?"
"Were you scared when you hit that fat guy with the stick during the day?" Xia Feng was afraid that Lin Xuan might be traumatized by her first murder, so he wanted to give her some psychological counseling before bed.
"Huh? I'm not scared, I don't feel anything, it's just like killing zombies." Lin Xuan is quite carefree, this is indeed the first time she has killed someone in both her lives, and she wouldn't have realized it if her brother hadn't reminded her.
After thinking about it carefully, I didn't feel anything special, so I comforted my brother instead.
"I'm fine, brother. Don't worry. I only killed bad people. I was doing justice for God."
After thinking for a moment, he added, "I won't become an antisocial killer's brother."
Xia Feng had a bellyful of words of comfort in his heart, but it was useless. He could only ruffle Lin Xuan's pink hair and say, "Okay, I know, go to sleep now."
"Okay, goodnight brother, makka Pakka." Lin Xuan said and fell asleep instantly.
Xia Feng gently stroked her hair for a long time, "Xiao Bao is so carefree... well, that's a good thing."
The next day, Xia Feng got up early and used the ingredients Lin Xuan had left in the kitchen to cook a large pot of congee with preserved egg and lean pork. He also made a stack of egg pancakes, stir-fried shredded potatoes with vinegar, and fried a small basket of crispy pork.
After preparing breakfast, I went back to the room and woke Lin Xuan up. After they finished eating, they put on the clothes they wore yesterday and left the space.
The sky was still overcast as Officer Luo and his two colleagues, along with Aunt Feng and the others, loaded supplies collected from supermarkets and pharmacies into the transport vehicle.
The injured people had been given simple bandages and looked much better than yesterday. They all came over to thank Xia Feng and his companion.
"There are still plenty of supplies at the supermarket. We've already sorted them out this morning. There's a small pharmacy further in; all the medicine there has been packed up and moved to the supermarket. We'll take one box of medicine, and you can keep the rest."
Officer Luo said to Xia Feng while moving the things.
"Okay, I understand." Xia Feng nodded.
After loading the car, Officer Luo came over and shook hands with Xia Feng, saying, "Comrade Xia, thank you again for saving us. Are you really not considering coming with us to the D City protected area?"
“We have relatives in City A and we’d like to go and stay with them. We’ll part ways here. I hope you can reach the D City protected area safely,” Xia Feng replied.
"So how do you get there? Do you have a car?" Officer Lu, with his baby face, asked.
"We can just find any car here," Xia Feng said, pointing to a vehicle parked not far away.
Seeing Xia Feng's relaxed expression, it's clear that these two must have some skill to kill so many thugs. Well, I should worry more about whether I can safely reach the protected area.
"Alright, I wish you a safe arrival in City A. If we happen to run into each other again..." Officer Luo paused halfway through his sentence. In such a chaotic world, amidst the vast sea of people, the chances of meeting again were truly slim.
"Forget all that formalities, my name is Luo Yi, and this is Lu Jiayu..." Officer Luo tugged at the baby-faced officer next to him.
"My name is Chen Zhen, Zhen as in investigation. I am deeply grateful and hope to see you two benefactors again in the future."
Officer Chen's face was still swollen. He sincerely bowed to the two officers, and Officers Luo and Lu also bowed. Xia Feng and Lin Xuan returned the bow with a slight bow.
After saying goodbye, the eight people drove two escort vehicles with full tanks of gas towards the D City protected area. The city in the distance was already dilapidated and desolate, and zombies that were startled by the vehicles chased after them on the highway.
"Stop looking, let's get to work." Xia Feng called to Lin Xuan, who was still half asleep from getting up too early.
Their car had been wrecked, so they didn't use the new cars in Lin Xuan's space; those cars were too new and would attract attention.
I chose a sturdy Jeep from the few vehicles parked at the entrance. There were a few dried bloodstains splattered on the surface of the car, but the interior was relatively clean, and the key was still in the ignition.
Xia Feng gave the car a quick cleaning and decided to drive it later. He then picked out two SUVs from the remaining vehicles that didn't have any major problems and asked Lin Xuan to store them for later use.
Having brought Lin Xuan to the gas station, Xia Feng was about to use his newly awakened superpower to do something big.
When he first awakened this superpower, he had a vague idea, and taking advantage of the fact that there was no one else in this service area, he decided to put it into practice here.
"Ahem, I'm about to do something big, Xiao Bao, you better watch carefully." Xia Feng, who was usually quiet and steady, suddenly sounded a bit boastful.
Lin Xuan got up too early today and still wasn't very energetic. She gave a perfunctory "oh" and stood next to her brother, watching him perform what seemed like a magic trick.
Xia Feng spread his arms and activated his supernatural power. The ground around the gas station began to churn, making a thunderous roar. The three large oil tanks buried underground slowly rose to the surface, knocking the refueling machines above them over onto the tanker trucks.
Soil and rocks floated in mid-air. The oil tank in the middle and the top refueling machine were surrounded by clouds of black smoke. The refueling machine seemed to melt and slowly merge into the oil tank below, and the two combined to become a strange-looking new machine.
