Chapter 109: Weaver Girl (I)
dusk.
In the abandoned highway service area, Xie Mian was leaning against a row of collapsed shelves, resting his eyes.
His face, even in the dim light, was too delicate to be real.
The long and curled eyelashes cast a small fan-like shadow under the eyes, the nose bridge is high, and the lips are light in color. Together, they create a breathtaking beauty that transcends gender.
"Gah! Honey, there's not even a can of food in this lousy place. It's all ash!"
Goose Shifang flapped his wings and walked out from the depths of the convenience store, a bag of expired potato chips in his mouth, complaining, "If we can't find any more supplies, I, your husband, will starve to death!"
Xie Mian didn't even raise his eyelids and said calmly, "Are you sure? Then what's in your space?"
When Goose Ten Directions awakened the space, they immediately collected a lot of supplies and stored them in the space. The supplies in the space were enough for them to eat for a year or two.
Don't think he doesn't know what the stupid goose is planning by coming here.
"Baji——"
E Shifang crushed the potato chips in his mouth and hid the condoms of various flavors that had just been thrown into the space deeper into the space.
Haha, isn’t this for a happy life in the future?
The flow rate in the space is static, and the supplies stored in it will never expire. Doesn't he have to find some more to prepare?
Just when E Shifang was secretly preparing to stock up on some more wine, there was a sudden harsh sound of tire friction outside the service area, followed by a loud bang of heavy objects hitting each other and the unique, teeth-grinding hissing of insects.
E Shifang immediately became alert, looking out the window with his eyes wide open: "Something's happening!"
Xie Mian still didn't move, but frowned slightly.
He chose this place as a temporary stay because of its remoteness, but he didn't expect that trouble would still come his way.
He had planned to wait until the commotion outside died down before making any plans, but he didn't expect that trouble would still come.
A giant locust was fighting with a vehicle outside when it was violently knocked away by a force. Its huge body broke through the wall of the convenience store like a cannonball and smashed towards the place where Xie Mian was hiding!
Gravel and glass flew everywhere!
"Gah! Watch out!"
Xie Mian suddenly opened his eyes, a hint of displeasure at being disturbed flashing in his eyes.
He didn't even stand up, but just casually raised his right hand, and the long knife shot out, hitting the locust's head accurately.
"boom--!"
The huge locust exploded into a ball of disgusting green slurry in mid-air, and not even a drop of it splashed on Xie Mian.
But this also exposed their position.
Outside the hole in the convenience store, a modified armored bus was being besieged by dozens of locusts.
The people in the car obviously noticed the change here and looked at them in surprise.
When they saw the young man standing up in the shadow of the hole, their eyes froze involuntarily.
So beautiful!
It's like a god descending!
"Who... who is that?" Lina, who was in charge of close combat in the team, couldn't help but ask in a lost voice while killing a locust.
The captain and another strong man in the team were also shocked.
But what shocked them was not only the stunning beauty of the person before them, but also her skills that could not be underestimated.
Just when everyone was distracted, a mantis that had been lurking for a long time suddenly jumped out from the blind spot of the car, and its huge sickle-like forelimbs slashed towards the roof of the car!
On the roof of the car, a girl in a white dress was singing with her eyes closed.
She is the core support of the team. In insect form, she is a cicada, and in insect energy, she is singing.
Her singing can form an invisible barrier to repel low-level insect monsters, but it is vulnerable to this high-level monster.
"Su Yin! Be careful!"
Her boyfriend Gao Feng screamed and wanted to rescue her but it was too late.
Seeing that the sharp insect limbs were about to split Su Yin in half, Xie Mian attacked again with a cold expression.
He didn't want to get involved, but the mantis was right in his way. If he let it destroy the car, it would surely attract more insect monsters, making it difficult for him to escape.
The next second, his figure disappeared from the spot.
Everyone only felt a flash of white light before their eyes, and Xie Mian had already appeared behind the mantis. He swung the long knife in his hand and directly stabbed it into the mantis's heart.
The gray insect stone was dug out by the tip of the knife, and the huge mantis turned into a pool of rotten meat in an instant.
Xie Mian landed lightly on the ground, shook off the non-existent blood on his hands, and slowly folded his butterfly wings.
As if sensing a higher level of pressure, the surrounding insect monsters screamed and slowly retreated.
For a moment, the only sound in the service area was the heavy breathing of the crowd.
Everyone's eyes were on Xie Mian, with expressions of shock, amazement, and fear.
As the captain, Lao Wang was the first to react.
He put away his rhinoceros beetle shell, walked quickly to Xie Mian, and forced a simple smile on his face:
"Brother, thank you for your help! My name is Wang Qiang, and I'm the captain of the 'Dawn' team."
Xie Mian just glanced at him coldly without answering, turned around and prepared to leave with E Shifang.
"Hey, brother, please stay!" Lao Wang hurriedly stopped him.
He could clearly see that this man's strength was unfathomable. If he could be recruited into the team, their journey to the western safe zone would undoubtedly be a hundred times safer.
"We're heading to the Rock Safe Zone in the west, one of the largest gathering places for human survivors. Brother, you're so strong, it's always dangerous to venture out alone. Why don't you come with us so we can take care of you along the way?"
Rock safe zone?
Xie Mian stopped and realized that his brother also wanted to go to this place.
Why not go and take a look? He lowered his head and asked E Shifang for his opinion, and E Shifang nodded.
He was just worrying about how to convince his wife to go to the Rock Safe Zone, but then someone sent him a heavy head.
There is something very important in the Rock Safe Zone, and he wants to get it with his wife.
Finally, under Lao Wang's expectant gaze, Xie Mian nodded and uttered one word: "Okay."
Although it was just one word, it made Lao Wang overjoyed.
He warmly invited Xie Mian to get in the car, and Su Yin, Gao Feng, Lina and others also gathered around.
Su Yin timidly handed over a bottle of clean water and whispered, "Thank you... for saving me."
Gao Feng looked at Xie Mian with a complicated look in his eyes. There was gratitude, but more of a jealousy for being outdone as a man.
The other female team member, Lina, was much bolder. She licked her lips and looked at Xie Mian with her scorpion-like eyes, full of interest and exploration.
Xie Mian ignored everyone's thoughts, waved his hand and refused the water.
