Chapter 94: "Those who abandon their companions are not a help, but a hidden danger."
With a "click", almost at the same time as Jiang Jie finished speaking, the car door was opened, and the woman in the car almost staggered out of the car. She looked very panicked. She had just witnessed her companion being killed, and her legs were still weak.
It's been so long since the end of the world, and they have fought against people with superpowers before, but no one can be like this man, who can take on three people with superpowers on his own and take their lives easily.
This person was truly terrifying and saw through her completely. She didn't dare to resist at all.
The woman stood holding the car door and gestured with her finger towards the water flowing around her mouth, indicating that she had something to say.
Jiang Jie hooked his finger and the water flow retreated. The other party breathed a sigh of relief and pulled the scattered scarf to cover his face again to resist the biting cold.
"I, I am a space ability user. There are still many supplies in my space. I can still use them. Don't kill me!" The woman didn't know whether she was nervous or cold. She was trembling in front of them and her speech was not very clear.
As if fearing her words wouldn't be enough to convince them to let her go, she added, "Actually, I'm not even a comrade of these people. I'm just a mobile warehouse they're forcing me to use. If you'll let me go, I can join your team and help you move supplies."
She was quite smart and knew how to use her advantages to buy a chance to survive.
To be honest, Lin Ke was a little tempted. It was indeed not very convenient for them to go out to look for supplies, and the things that could be placed in the car were too limited.
Small cars have limited space, large cars consume more fuel and are not flexible enough, and it is difficult to avoid alien creatures.
It would be so convenient if there really was a person with space abilities who could load and unload supplies.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Jiang Jie.
Noticing his gaze on him, Jiang Yan turned to glance at him and laughed suddenly, "Why, do you want to keep her?"
Lin Ke hesitated for a moment, then remembered that the other party had just said that she didn't like people lying, so he told the truth: "The spatial ability is quite practical. Like she said, it's like a mobile warehouse. With this help, it will be very convenient to collect supplies."
Hearing his words, Lin Mian, who was standing at the door of the pharmacy, nodded in agreement. It was indeed convenient, he had experienced it himself, but...
His eyes fell on the man. Based on his understanding, he would not keep this woman.
As he expected, the next moment, the water flying around the woman quickly wrapped around her neck, and with a "click", it broke her fragile neck.
The moment she died, all the supplies in the space fell all over the floor.
Jiang Jie looked at the stunned Lin brothers again, his voice devoid of emotion, "A person who abandons his companions is not a help, but a hidden danger."
She didn't seem to be unwilling when she was with those people before, but after they died, she started to be unwilling.
They would have to stay in the village for some time, so he wouldn't let someone like that stay around.
If it were not the case, he would not care whether Lin Ke kept her or not. Anyway, they would bear the consequences themselves. Jiang Jie always respected the fate of others.
The person was dead, so of course Lin Ke had nothing to say about it. He calmed down a little and lowered his head as if to be taught. "Yes, Mr. Jiang is right."
And Lin Xiaoyuan didn't dare to say anything.
Although they think less, they are not stupid and they listen to advice.
"Let's deal with these corpses." Jiang Jie raised his chin and ordered people around as a matter of course.
As for the dropped supplies, he took a quick look and found that the quantity was not as much as what they had collected in the supermarket warehouse just now. It seemed that the other party's space was not that big.
It was not convenient for Lin Mian to collect them now, so he just took away two of the barrels of gasoline.
Lin Ke naturally had no objection to this. These people were killed by the other party, so of course the spoils belonged to the other party.
After burning a few bodies, Lin Xiaoyuan looked at the supplies on the ground with a bit of regret. Their car really couldn't hold them all, what a pity.
Lin Ke grabbed his head and pushed him into the car. It’s better not to look at things that you can’t take away. The more you look at them, the more uncomfortable you will feel.
They started the car and drove ahead, while Jiang Jie and the other two fell behind a little. After they drove for a distance, Lin Mian took the opportunity to open the window and put away those things. It was another unexpected gain.
*
All the gas stations around the city had been ransacked, and there was nothing left. Although Lin Ke was mentally prepared for this, he was still a little disappointed.
After thinking about it, he discussed with Jiang Jie that they should go in another direction on the way back. There would be several gas stations there, and they could try their luck again then.
Jiang Jie didn't care. If they really found it, they could collect some more. He would never have too much of these consumables.
The other way back might be a bit longer, but they calculated the time and as long as they didn't delay too long on the road, they would definitely be able to return to the village before dark.
The car is still easy to slip on the icy and snow-covered road, so you have to be careful when driving to avoid accidents.
After driving for about forty minutes, they successfully saw the first gas station and the car slowly stopped at the side.
Lin Ke got out of the car to check the situation, while Jiang Jie and the other man sat in the car and did not move for the time being.
After a while, the other party came out of the gas station and waved to them. It seemed that there was nothing left here.
After that, they drove for nearly an hour before they finally saw another gas station. This time they were lucky and still had some gas left.
The temperature grew colder as evening approached. Lin Xiaoyuan stood beside Lin Ke, rubbing his hands and jumping around. He was already wearing very warm clothes, but the temperature that was beyond the human body range was still unbearable.
Lin Ke released flames that surrounded him and said, "I told you to wait in the car."
With Wen Nuan by his side, Lin Xiaoyuan finally felt much better. "I want to be with you."
Lin Ke smiled and shook his head and stopped talking about him. Anyway, he had his own special abilities, so he wouldn't be frozen to death.
Thinking of this, he thought of Jiang Jie and the others, turned around and wanted to light a flame for them to maintain their body temperature, but his eyes paused when he saw the people huddled together.
Lin Xiaoyuan moved closer to him and said, "Brother, this is the expression I usually make when I eat the dog food of you and sister-in-law."
Lin Ke turned around and glared at him speechlessly, "Shut up."
Lin Xiaoyuan stuck out his tongue.
Wu Li had reminded them about the relationship between Jiang Jie and Lin Mian a long time ago, so that they could be mentally prepared in case they said something wrong and offended others.
So now when I see people like this, I’m not surprised.
It wouldn't be nice to disturb them in this situation, but Lin Ke was worried that they were cold. After hesitating for a while, the other party had just collected the gasoline and was carrying it back to the RV.
Now he didn't have to worry about it anymore, he looked away and concentrated on waiting for his oil drum to be filled.
"Fire-based abilities are very useful in winter." Lin Mian was a little reluctant to get back into the car and out of the man's warm embrace.
Jiang Jie had just activated his fire energy, and his body felt warm, making him feel more comfortable than in a car with the heater on.
Jiang Jie pinched the back of his neck and pulled him back a little, "Isn't a boyfriend the most useful thing?"
Lin Mian smiled when he heard that, and looked up to kiss him ingratiatingly, but when he realized that they were still hugging each other's faces, he had to step back.
Jiang Jie pinched his neck through the thick scarf and said, "Give it back to me when we get back."
Lin Mian nodded vigorously.
Lin Ke and the others quickly collected the gasoline and returned to the car. Looking at the full space inside the car, they felt a little more at ease, as they finally had an explanation when they returned.
It always gets dark earlier in winter than in summer, but just after five o'clock, the sky has already begun to darken.
On the way, they turned onto the road that led to the village. It would only take them thirty or forty minutes to reach the destination.
The branches and leaves on the roadside were swaying, and it was a bit windy. It looked like tomorrow would not be a good day. I wondered if it would snow again.
Lin Mian, who was initially very excited to see snow, is now a little aesthetically fatigued. The pure white color is inevitably monotonous after seeing it for a long time, and it is really too cold.
Before it got completely dark, they finally returned to the village safely.
Wu Yan and Zhao Xiaoyun came out early after hearing the sound of the car. Seeing their car stop and both of them were intact, they finally relaxed the breath they had been holding.
"Brother Wu, Sister Xiaoyun!" Lin Xiaoyuan immediately opened the car door and jumped out, saying excitedly: "We found a lot of things today!"
"Great!" Zhao Xiaoyun patted his head which was covered with a thick hat.
While the few people were talking, Jiang Jie and his RV did not stop, but drove directly past them and headed towards the south side of the village.
Wu Li was already used to being ignored by the other party, so he looked away after watching the car go away.
Lin Ke and his team's trip was not in vain. They successfully brought back the supplies they needed and no one was injured. It really couldn't have been better.
After being happy, Lin Ke told Wu Li and the others about his encounter with that group of people.
Wu Yan pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Jiang is right. In the end times, trusting others is the worst thing to do. Bringing back someone you don't know the details of will only cause hidden dangers."
The means may be a little cruel, but in today's world, if you don't kill someone, you will be killed. Being merciful is the most unacceptable thing.
Zhao Xiaoyun also agreed with his idea.
Human hearts are so uncontrollable. Even if a person is weak and helpless, if he has bad intentions, it is hard to guard against him.
There are so many ordinary people in their village, so they have to be careful.
Wu Yan raised his hand and patted Lin Ke's shoulder. "You did a great job today. You and Xiaoyuan have worked hard. You must be tired after running all day. Go eat something and rest early. We will sort out the supplies in the car."
If it were him, he would also be interested when he knew there was a person with space abilities. After all, the temptation of having a portable warehouse is still very great, and everyone wants to collect more supplies.
Lin Ke nodded and took Lin Xiaoyuan back home first. After being out for a whole day, their mother must be worried at home.
