Chapter 84 Aggression
Before he could finish speaking, the porridge had already been fed into his mouth.
Xie Jue chewed twice unconsciously, perhaps awakening his hunger. After he swallowed the food, Qiao Xi fed him again.
And so, one person fed the other.
At first, I wasn't used to the porridge, but later I became completely immersed in its deliciousness.
After he was so full that he couldn't eat anymore, Xie Jue said, "Sister, I'm fine now, you don't need to worry."
Seeing him try to get out of bed, Josie pressed him down. "Where are you going?"
“I know that a single pill is very expensive, and some people would risk their lives for a single pill. I’m fine now, and I can go back to recover.”
"Going back to recover from your injuries? Are you planning to lose your life in the tent area?"
Josie sighed and continued, "You're still young and injured. There's no need for you to do anything that's detrimental to yourself right now. A smart person knows to avoid confrontation when they're weak, work hard to become stronger, and then settle scores with them when they're truly powerful."
Just then, Lu Yuyang walked in from outside, carrying fresh apples in his hand.
When Xie Jue saw the apple in his hand, his eyes revealed not a desire for food, but a desire for power.
He knew that a group of people had evolved superpowers due to the influence of the virus.
These humans possess abilities that are primarily offensive, as well as abilities that are primarily supportive.
Wood and water-based abilities are the most important life skills for maintaining their base.
And these fruits... he knew they were grown by a wood-type ability user.
If he also had superpowers, he would be able to protect his sister...
"Have you reached an agreement?" After putting down the apple, Lu Yuyang glanced at Xie Jue and then looked at Qiao Xi.
Josie shrugged, about to speak, when Xie Jue spoke first: "Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll go back after I recover. Thank you..."
Lu Yuyang raised his hand to touch Xie Jue's head, but Xie Jue turned his head away.
Lu Yuyang's hand froze, and he said with a smile, "This kid has quite a personality."
In the afternoon, Qiao Xi and Lu Yuyang moved Xie Jue to his new apartment together.
Perhaps because he was recovering from his injury, Xie Jue fell into a deep sleep after eating the nutritious meal that Qiao Xi had specially prepared for him.
“I’m glad you didn’t reject me this time.” Lu Yuyang stood by the window, the dim sunlight shining on half of his face.
"You're doing good deeds for Xie Jue, and he'll be the one who repays you in the end..."
Although Josie said that, her expression was not as distinct as it had been at the beginning.
This is a good sign!
Lu Yuyang's eyes also lit up with a smile, "Yes, it was he who repaid me."
"It's getting late, I'll head back now."
"I send you."
Lu Yuyang caught up with her and stayed by her side.
Once it gets dark in the safe zone, there are almost no people on the streets.
"Don't worry, I'll stay there for the next few days. I'll take care of the child for you. If you have time, go visit him."
"Okay, thank you..."
"No need for thanks, just remember it in your heart."
These words made Josie turn to look at him, only to find him staring intently at her. "I once heard my roommate say that as long as you treat a girl well enough, better than any other man, you can win her heart, is that right?"
His gaze suddenly became very aggressive, and Josie's heart skipped a beat.
"Who said that? Go ask them. I'm home."
After saying that, he left Lu Yuyang with his back turned and hurriedly entered the building.
Lu Yuyang watched her figure gradually disappear into the shadows of the corridor, a smile playing on his lips.
The child lives in his house, and Josie will definitely visit him; there will be plenty of time after that.
But the next day, Qiao Xi left the safe zone directly because she wasted a lot of time urging Xie Jue to improve his strength.
So, she spent two whole days exercising in the city.
She tested it and found that if she turned into a car, her powers could only be maintained for about an hour.
The larger the object, the more supernatural energy it consumes.
Although her superpower is rather weak, she has a backup plan, so she dares to charge forward and fight when killing zombies, and her progress is rapid.
Finally, on the third day, she appeared at Lu Yuyang's apartment.
Xie Jue couldn't stay any longer and wanted to leave several times. Lu Yuyang was worried that he wouldn't be able to explain to Qiao Xi, so he stayed here to take care of his daily life.
thump thump thump...
As soon as the door opened, the two of them turned to look at the doorway.
In the apocalypse, no one will go to someone else's house for no reason.
So... it's very likely that Josie, whom I haven't seen for two days, is outside.
Realizing this, Lu Yuyang turned and strode towards the door. Xie Jue, whose face was full of stubbornness, also composed himself and sat up straighter.
The door opened, revealing Josie's beautiful face.
She smiled at Lu Yuyang, then turned to look inside, "Are you feeling better?"
Xie Jue hummed in agreement. He wanted to ask her why she hadn't come these past two days.
But then he thought, he and she were not related, and she had already helped him so much, so he had no right to ask her for anything more.
Qiao Xi then turned her gaze to Lu Yuyang, "Have you been staying here these past two days?"
"Yeah, he's just a kid and he can't take care of himself. I happen to be free these days, so I'm staying here."
Josie hadn't thought that way. Xie Jue, who had lived in the tent area with her sister for more than three months, was not a child who knew nothing.
"Thank you for your help. I haven't been in the safe zone for the past two days; I only got back last night."
Hearing this, Xie Jue's eyes lit up. "Next time you go out, can I come with you?"
“No,” Josie stared at his injured arm. “Your injury will take at least ten days to two weeks to heal. There’s no rush. Wait until you’re fully recovered before we go out together.”
Seeing Lu Yuyang turn to pour water, Xie Jue said to Qiao Xi, "My wound has scabbed over. I want to rest for a couple more days before going back to the tent area."
Josie sat on the stool opposite him with her arms crossed. "Are you sure you can do it?"
Xie Jue nodded vigorously, "I can. Last time I lost my temper and offended them. This time I will hide. I will listen to you. I will not show myself and attract their attention until I am strong enough."
"Think it over. If you insist, then do as you say."
Xie Jue lowered his eyes; he didn't want his sister to owe that man a favor because of him.
Before they could exchange more than a few words, Lu Yuyang came out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of water.
"Have some water."
"Thanks."
Just as Josie took the water glass, there was another knock on the door.
Lu Yuyang turned his head and looked at the doorway with some surprise.
"I'll go see who it is."
After Lu Yuyang finished speaking, he walked to the door. Before he could even open it, the people outside couldn't contain themselves any longer. "Captain, are you there?"
Lu Yuyang then opened the door and asked curiously, "How did you find this place?"
He doesn't usually live here, and the team members don't know anything about him.
"We checked with the management office. It's an emergency! Captain, pack your things quickly, we need to leave immediately."
