Chapter 27 "Lin Xiaotu, your smile is so cute."
The sun sets and night falls.
Jiang Jie and his companions happened to pass through a small county town. The situation there was similar to that in Y City, or even a little worse.
In a small place like this, there is almost no one to govern once the chaos starts, and the alien creatures can be said to have no place to live here.
As soon as they came in, they bumped into one and were killed easily by Jiang Jie.
Lin Mian looked outside through the car window and felt that the whole town was silent. In the afterglow of dusk, some damaged buildings seemed to be filled with death. He even doubted whether there were any living people here.
When passing by a not-too-large hotel, Jiang Jie stopped the car and planned to go in to see if the water and electricity were working. If possible, it would be better to spend the night indoors.
There should be quite a few alien creatures in this small county, so it is relatively unsafe to be in the car.
Lin Mian followed him out of the car, turned around and looked around, but didn't hear any unusual movements for the time being.
The hotel's revolving door is no longer moving. I don't know if it is damaged or has no electricity.
Jiang Jie led his men in through the small glass door on the side. It was not locked and was easily pushed open.
“Hmm…”
Almost as soon as they entered, their keen sense of smell made them smell a foul odor. Lin Mian couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his nose, "What's that smell?"
Jiang Jie stopped to smell the rotting smell of corpses. It seemed that many people had died inside and the corpses had not been cleaned up. Considering the high temperature during this period, there was no idea how rotten they would be.
It seems that some alien creature has appeared. Since the door is not damaged, it is likely that some plant inside has mutated.
There is a greater probability that it is still there.
Plant-based alien creatures are better at hiding than animal-based ones. Most of the time, they maintain their habits and stay in the same place without making any big noise.
So Jiang Jie couldn't tell which floor of the hotel it was on. The smell here was so bad that he was too lazy to look for it.
"Let's go, we can't stay here overnight."
Not to mention the smell, the electricity here is probably not working, and the "emergency exit" indicator lights in the corner are all off.
Lin Mian, whose sense of smell was much sharper, nodded repeatedly when he heard his words. He was almost vomiting from the smell here.
When the two people walked out of the hotel, he took a few deep breaths of fresh air and felt alive again.
Back in the car, Jiang Jie looked at the time shown on the electronic clock. It was already past seven o'clock.
Although it is not yet dark outside due to the long days in summer, normally the street lights in the city should be turned on.
It's still dark now, so I guess the power supply in the county town is broken.
Of course, this situation may also be regional.
While he was thinking, he started the car and drove away.
As the RV continued to move forward, he looked outside and saw that none of the roadside lights were on. It seemed that the small county town had indeed lost power.
"Brother Jie, there is a hotel over there. Shall we go in and take a look?" Lin Mian pointed outside the window.
"Let's spend the night in the car. The lights are not on. There is probably no electricity here." Jiang Ya raised his chin slightly towards the outside.
Lin Mian took a few more glances and found it was true.
"What about the small supermarket over there? Should we go check it out? The door doesn't look damaged, so there might be supplies."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jie looked over and turned the steering wheel to drive the car towards the opposite side.
The small supermarket does not look very big. From the entrance, it looks more like a larger convenience store.
This kind of place usually has no windows, so it is dark inside. Jiang Jie turned on the flashlight he was carrying.
There was also a not-so-pleasant smell inside, but it was much better than the one in the hotel just now. It was probably the same as the supermarket before, the smell of rotting meat in the fresh food area.
Lin Mian raised his hand and rubbed his nose, feeling that it was still within the tolerable range.
Jiang Jie shone his flashlight around. The goods were still in good condition and looked like they had not been looted. He turned his head and looked around.
Receiving his gaze, Lin Mian knew it was time for him to get to work.
This time they didn't have to be as picky as before, they could take whatever they needed.
Five square meters may not sound large, but it is a three-dimensional space and is not easy to fill.
The only obstacle was that Lin Mian Shou began to feel tired after a while. He took two breaths and felt a little out of power.
In any case, his superpowers had just awakened. Even though he was much better than others because he had absorbed some crystals, he was still a rookie after all.
A strong arm was wrapped around his shoulders to support him, and something was stuffed into his palm.
Lin Mian raised his hand, and saw a crystal. He turned his head and looked around.
Jiang Jie patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, let's recover a bit before closing it."
Lin Mian obediently closed his eyes slightly and absorbed the energy of the crystal.
The empty energy was replenished, and he felt much better instantly, and the weakness in his body disappeared.
He stood up and said, "I can do it now."
Jiang Jie withdrew his hand upon hearing this.
Lin Mian continued to collect supplies. He quietly followed behind the people with a light on, and when the people felt tired, he would give them a crystal.
After they had almost cleared the shelves, they went to the warehouse as usual.
Compared with the previous supermarket, the warehouse here is much smaller. It can only be regarded as a small compartment, and the inventory is relatively small, but it is still very pleasing to see the boxes of goods placed here.
After storing everything he needed into the space, Lin Mian felt an inexplicable sense of security as he watched the previously empty space being filled up by half.
"Brother Jie, we have a lot of supplies now." He looked up and looked at the man in front of him with shining eyes.
Jiang Yan smiled and handed him another crystal. After he took it, he patted his face in praise and said, "When you become stronger, we can have more."
Hearing this, Lin Mian's eyes curved up, revealing the liveliness of a young man.
At this moment, he felt that he was truly useful and could do something for the other party instead of just being protected.
From the beginning of the apocalypse until now, he finally felt a sense of security that he was no longer useless.
His genuine feelings made his smile so bright that it seemed to glow. Unlike his previous obedient smile, it was warm and lively.
Jiang Jie felt that he was inexplicably dazzled.
His body followed his heart, and he lowered his head and kissed her.
The smile on Lin Mian's lips faded slightly because of this sudden kiss, and his eyelashes trembled slightly.
Jiang Jie stepped back and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Lin Xiaotu, your smile is so cute."
Lin Mian pursed his lips, which still retained the other person's warmth, and his cheeks flushed.
"We've packed up everything, let's go." Jiang Jie didn't have any sense of being a hooligan at all, and turned around and left calmly.
Lin Mian raised his hand and touched his face, breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and quickly followed the man in front with the beam of light.
The surroundings seemed relatively safe at the moment. After getting in the car, Jiang Jie simply drove directly into the hotel they had just seen and parked in the parking space on the side of the building.
Although the view here is not wide, it is relatively hidden, so you don’t have to look for other places.
Lin Mian had completely absorbed the crystal in his hand and calmed down. He sensed the strange energy within his body and said, "Brother Jian, I feel like absorbing the crystal after using up all the energy is more effective than absorbing it directly."
The feeling is very subtle, it just feels smoother and there seems to be some subtle enhancement.
Jiang Jie pretended to be surprised at something he had known for a long time, "Really?"
"Well," Lin Mianshou shook his hand, "it's integrating better, and the absorption speed has also become faster."
Jiang Jie pondered for a few seconds and said, "That's normal. After all, you have to hit bottom before you can rebound."
Lin Mian nodded in agreement, "That makes sense."
He was in a good mood because he had played a role and made a new discovery. He let Jiang Jie, who had been driving all day and making breakfast and lunch, rest and went to prepare dinner himself.
He feels that he is in good spirits and has no physical problems.
Jiang Jie did not stop him and let him squander his excitement.
After a successful dinner, it was completely dark outside. Looking out through the glass window, it was pitch black. Apart from the moonlight, there was no other light.
The power supply in this small county town was indeed broken.
It was still early, and Lin Mian was not too sleepy due to his excitement. Jiang Jie had just gone in to take a shower, so he sat on the small sofa and sorted out the things in the space.
It is a space that belongs to him alone and is completely controlled by his thoughts. If he wants to move something, he only needs a thought.
He classified the supplies that had been temporarily piled up today, placing the food and daily necessities separately so that they could be seen clearly.
In fact, even if it is not organized, it is still very convenient for him to take it when he wants to. After all, he just needs to "think" about it.
But young people today all have some obsessive-compulsive disorder, and they will feel more comfortable if they can sort it out.
After everything was neatly arranged, Lin Mian pulled his thoughts away from the space and breathed a sigh of relief. This way, next time he collected supplies, he could just sort them and put them in place, which would be much more convenient.
He stood up in a good mood, humming a song and began to tidy up the sofa bed where he would sleep. He would take a shower later and then go to rest.
With a "click", the bathroom door was pushed open, and water mist couldn't wait to come out and float around.
Jiang Jie pushed his wet hair back, and the water droplets at the end of his hair fell, rolled down his shoulders to his muscular chest, and merged with the other water droplets.
The person making the bed seemed not to hear him come out and didn't even turn his head.
Jiang Jie leaned against the door with his arms folded, looking at the other person silently.
He knew that the little rabbit was pretending. Ever since the first time she saw him coming out without clothes, she never looked at him every time he opened the door after taking a shower.
He had turned a blind eye before, but this time, he just wouldn't get his way.
Jiang Jie walked over and stopped behind the man.
Sure enough, one of the rabbits even slowed down in making its bed.
He stretched out his hand viciously and hugged the person in his arms.
"Brother Jie, Brother Jie!" Lin Mian was a little startled by his sudden hug, and subconsciously put his hand on his still damp arm.
Jiang Yan bent down and rested his head on his shoulder, gently rubbing his cheek, the water droplets on his hair staining his neck, "Lin Xiaotu, why do you want to make a bed? With our current relationship, do we still need to sleep in separate beds?"
He didn't wipe himself when he came out, and Lin Mian's T-shirt was soaked by him. He could feel the outline of his body more clearly. He struggled a little uncomfortably, but was hugged tighter. "I, I'm afraid that my sleeping posture will be bad and disturb Brother Ji."
"It's okay, I don't mind." Jiang Yan tilted his head and rubbed his nose slowly against his soft cheek. "Or do you mind me?"
How could Lin Mian dare to mind him? He quickly shook his head and said, "I didn't..."
"That's good," Jiang Yan raised his hand and stroked his neck, his fingertips gently brushing against his small Adam's apple. "Little rabbit, isn't it time for you to take a bath?"
The sensitive part was touched, and Lin Mian raised his chin slightly nervously. He responded lightly with a trembling sound at the end, "Hmm..."
"Okay," Jiang Yan leaned close to his ear, his lips almost touching his earlobe, "I'll help you..."
After he finished speaking, without giving the person a chance to refuse, he directly picked the person up and turned to go into the bathroom he had just left.
With a "click", the door lock fell again.
