Chapter 110: Weaver Girl (Part 2)
The armored bus was bumping along the cracked road, and Xie Mian and E Shifang were sitting at the back of the bus.
This is a modified bus. The original fragile glass has been replaced by bulletproof glass, and the body of the bus is covered with layers of steel plates.
Su Yin sat near the front, occasionally glancing back at Xie Mian in the corner with curiosity. But more often than not, her gaze was glued to her boyfriend, Gao Feng, who was beside her.
She soaked a small clean towel and carefully wiped the dust off Gao Feng's face. Her voice was so gentle that it could squeeze out water: "A Feng, are you tired? Do you want some water?"
Gao Feng enjoyed her care and said "I'm not tired" but his eyes drifted uncontrollably to the side behind him.
There, Lina was leaning against the car window, slowly trimming her nails with a small knife.
As if she noticed Gao Feng's gaze, she raised her eyelids, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she even cast a coquettish glance at Gao Feng.
"Ga~"
E Shifang opened his eyes wide and looked at it with a gossipy look on his face, as if he was watching some melodramatic skit on Apple.
He lay on Xie Mian's legs, poked Xie Mian's waist with his wings, and lowered his voice:
"Honey, look at that pair of bastards flirting with each other. The one called Su Yin must have been cheated on. Do you think I should be kind enough to tell her? No, it's so mad. She even unscrewed the bottle cap for that man..."
Listening to E Shifang's chattering, Xie Mian didn't even open his eyelids and continued to doze with his eyes closed.
The car drove for a while, and Captain Lao Wang looked at the outline of a city ahead and stopped the car on the side of the road.
"Ahead are the ruins of S City. We need to go in and replenish some medicine and supplies."
Lao Wang took out the map and pointed to one of the marks. "The City Center Hospital should still have some supplies, but there are definitely a lot of mutant insect monsters inside. Everyone, be alert."
The plan was quickly formulated. Lao Wang, who had the strongest defense, would lead the way, Gao Feng and Lina would be the main attackers, Su Yin would coordinate in the middle, and Xie Mian and E Shifang would be the strongest fighters, responsible for covering the rear and responding to emergencies.
Entering the abandoned hospital building, a strong smell of disinfectant and decay hit me. The corridor was a mess, with dried blood and traces of fighting everywhere.
"We should split up and act more efficiently," Gao Feng suggested. "Su Yin and I will go to the pharmacy. Lina, you and Lao Wang will go to the medical equipment room. Brother Xie, you can stay in the lobby to coordinate, okay?"
Xie Mian nodded indifferently. This was exactly what he wanted. He wanted to move as little as possible.
Gao Feng said that he was in a group with Su Yin, but when he was in action, he deliberately shortened the distance between him and Lina. The two of them almost walked side by side in different directions, leaving Su Yin behind.
Su Yin bit her lip and quickly followed Gao Feng. She reached out to pull the corner of Gao Feng's clothes, but Gao Feng avoided her hand without leaving a trace.
E Shifang looked at him with a frown: "Ha, what a scumbag!"
Not long after Gao Feng and Su Yin entered the pharmacy, a scream came from the equipment room on the other side.
"Afeng! Come and help me! I'm entangled by a spider!"
"Oh no, it's Lina!" Gao Feng rushed out of the pharmacy almost the moment he heard the cry. "Su Yin, stay here and keep her company. Sing to warn her. I'll go save Lina!"
Before he could finish his words, he disappeared.
Seeing Gao Feng leave without hesitation, Su Yin felt a pang of sadness in her heart. "It's nothing. Feng is just too kind. If it were Lao Wang, he would do the same..."
She comforted herself in bits and pieces, not noticing that she was surrounded by the silk threads dropped by several spiders.
"ah!"
Su Yin was startled by the spider silk that suddenly stuck to her body and instinctively started singing.
A melodious song sounded, and the power of insect energy spread in the air. However, this power was somewhat weak, only slowing the spider's movements a little, while the spider silk continued to droop.
Su Yin dodged and sang at the same time, and soon became flustered.
The spider silk had corroded holes in her skirt, and her arms were bruised in the panic.
"Afeng, save me!"
"Lina, get out of the way!"
The voice of Gao Feng protecting Lina came from the next room, but Gao Feng seemed not to hear his own voice at all.
Seeing that a big net was about to cover her head, Su Yin closed her eyes in despair.
Just as she was about to die, a sharp knife flashed past her head.
The spider web was split open by the long knife, and several spiders were instantly cut into several parts. Green blood splattered all over the ground, and the stench of blood was overwhelming.
Su Yin opened her eyes nervously.
Seeing that the person who saved her seemed to be Xie Mian, she said thank you uneasily, her voice so low that Xie Mian almost couldn't hear it.
Xie Mian shook off the non-existent bloodstains on the blade with disdain and said calmly, "In the end times, the only one who can protect yourself is yourself. You should learn to make yourself stronger."
He picked up three insect stones on the ground, threw one to the other person, and put the other two in his arms.
Looking at Xie Mian's leaving back, Su Yin bit her lip, lowered her head, and said nothing.
Soon, Gao Feng came back, followed by Lina who was unharmed.
Seeing the mess in the pharmacy, Gao Feng was stunned at first, then frowned, his tone full of accusation: "What's wrong with you? You can't even deal with a few little spiders? Is your singing just for show?"
Su Yin raised her head in disbelief, her eyes instantly reddened, her voice trembling: "You...you just left me..."
"Didn't I ask you to sing?"
Gao Feng interrupted her impatiently, glanced at Lina who looked smug beside him, and felt that Su Yin was a burden. "You always distract people. Can you be of some use?"
"I'm useless?"
Su Yin's tears finally burst out. She pointed at her throat and said in a shrill voice, "If it weren't for my singing to disperse the insect swarm, would you have been able to collect supplies so easily? Gao Feng, have you forgotten who sang to you on countless nights to heal your wounds and let you sleep peacefully?"
"That's enough!" Gao Feng was sore, and he roared in anger, "Stop talking!"
Seeing this, Lao Wang quickly came over to smooth things over: "Alright, alright, just keep quiet. I hope everyone is alright. We were careless. Let's get out of here."
Now that the captain had spoken, the two stopped arguing.
However, when Xie Mian heard Su Yin say the word "healing", he seemed to be lost in thought. He didn't expect that she was also a healing insect follower.
Dispel + Heal, if Su Yin can improve his insect power, he can live well in the apocalypse.
That night, the team camped in a relatively intact building.
Late at night, Xie Mian was awakened by a burst of suppressed sobbing.
He opened his eyes and saw Su Yin curled up in a corner, holding a ring made of a can pull ring and crying silently.
When E Shifang saw Xie Mian wake up, he also opened his eyes.
He raised his wings and, with a gossipy look in his eyes, gestured for Xie Mian to look into the shadows in the other corner.
In the shadows, two figures were entangled tightly together.
"Baby, don't be angry. I came over as soon as you called me today!" It was Gao Feng's voice, full of flattery.
"Hmph, do you have me in your heart? When are you going to confront that loser who can only sing?" Lina's voice was filled with dissatisfaction.
"It's almost there, baby, just bear with it." Gao Feng comforted him anxiously, "Her singing voice will still be useful before we reach the Rock Safe Zone. Once we get there, I'll dump her! Then, we two strong men together will be a match made in heaven!"
"Okay, I'll trust you again!"
Lina hooked her fingers and slid them slowly down from Gao Feng's eyebrows. When she slid to his neck, she hooked the pull-ring necklace on Gao Feng's neck with her fingers and teased him with her eyes.
Gao Feng understood what the other party meant immediately.
He took off the necklace with the pull-ring ring on it from his neck without hesitation, and threw it into a dark corner without even looking at it.
“Snap!”
It was the sound of the ring falling to the ground.
In the corner, Su Yin's crying stopped abruptly.
