Chapter 78 is lucky, so give him food.
As he entered the deserted gas station on the road, Jiang Jie glanced around, taking in the surroundings.
They were running low on gasoline in their cars, which was not easy to collect nowadays. Compared with supplies, it was even harder to find. Many times, even if they found a gas station, it would be empty.
But they were lucky this time. Perhaps because this place was sparsely populated, there was a lot of leftover oil, which was enough for them to use for a long time after collecting it.
While Lin Mian was watching the oil being filled, Jiang Jie went to take a look around the convenience store next door. It didn't seem to have been ransacked much, and the shelves and some food bags were covered in dust.
It seems that they are really lucky today. When they walked out of the convenience store, Lin Mian was standing by the gas tank waiting for the oil barrel to be filled, with his back to him looking into the distance.
Jiang Yan walked over and put his hand on his shoulder. "There's still a lot of supplies in there. We can go collect them later. Let's stay here tonight."
Lin Mian, who was admiring the sunset in the distance, looked at him and said excitedly, "Okay, I'll go now."
After awakening his special powers, his favorite thing to do is to collect supplies. Seeing these things fill up his space is so satisfying.
He happily went to the convenience store. Jiang Jie waited by the gas tank in his place. He watched the oil barrel fill up, and then he replaced it with a new one.
Lin Mian was absorbing crystals along the way. Even though the effect was not as great as at the beginning, the area of the space was increasing little by little.
There is still a lot of space left, and he hardly picks and chooses what he collects. He puts everything in together with the shelves, and arranges them neatly inside, as if he has put a convenience store directly in there.
After collecting all the items placed outside, he did not forget to look for the small warehouse inside and put away all the stock.
The energy consumed by collecting these things has no big impact on him now. He doesn't even need to use crystals to replenish it, and he can recover on his own soon.
Clapping his hands, he left the suddenly empty convenience store and saw several full oil drums next to Jiang Jie. He walked over and put them away, saying, "I see there are still popsicles in there, but because of the long power outage, they've all melted in the refrigerator. They've been there for so long, they're definitely inedible."
Most of the liquid had swelled up in the bags due to the heat, and after being exposed, it flowed out, causing the refrigerator to be full of sticky liquid, so he didn't collect it.
Jiang Yan leaned against the gas tank with his arms folded. Hearing this, he said, "Didn't I buy the ice cream machine and ingredients from the milk tea shop before? If you want to eat it, you can make your own ice cream."
That’s true, but I haven’t tried it since I received it. Lin Mian thought he could try it later. He didn’t really want to eat it now, he just saw it and wanted to share it with the other party.
He smiled, then took out a lollipop from his pocket, shook it, and handed it to the person, "This is for you."
Jiang Jie took the candy and looked at the pink packaging. It was actually strawberry flavored. He was a little amused, "You're giving me candy?"
"Yeah," Linmian nodded as a matter of course. "Many of them have melted due to the high temperature before, so they definitely don't look good. But this one, I touched it and it's still in good shape. It's very lucky, so I'll give it to you."
He was lucky, so give it to him. Jiang Jie raised his eyes and stared at him for a while, then reached out and handed the candy back.
"Why, don't you want to eat?" Lin Mian frowned in confusion, "It's okay for adults to eat candy occasionally, no one will think..."
"Take it apart for me." Jiang Yan shook the candy in his hand without waiting for him to finish.
Lin Mian's brows relaxed, and he took it and opened it for him neatly, and handed it to his mouth, "Open your mouth."
Jiang Jie looked at him and put the round candy ball into his mouth. His mouth was instantly filled with the taste of strawberries.
Lin Mian came closer to him, his eyes curved, "Is it sweet?"
Jiang Jie's eyes were always on him. He nodded softly when he heard it. "Sweet."
After saying that, he held the candy stick, took the candy out of his mouth, and said, "Do you want to try it?"
Lin Mian looked at the candy handed to him, blinked, and moved closer. After all, they had already eaten each other's saliva, so they didn't mind the candy that had been sucked.
But just as he opened his mouth and before he had time to taste the candy, someone suddenly pinched the back of his neck, forced his head to turn, and his mouth was blocked.
The soft sweet strawberry scent roamed around in his mouth until his eyes turned red.
As he gasped for breath, Jiang Yan raised his eyebrows with a smile in his eyes, "Did you taste it? Is it sweet?"
Lin Mian raised his hand to touch his numb mouth and glared at him, "You're trying to trick me."
Jiang Jie chuckled and rubbed the back of his neck. "There's an Altered Object nearby. I'll go take care of it."
After saying that, he put the lollipop back into his mouth, turned around and left happily.
Lin Mian, who was left where he was, wiped the corner of his lip with his knuckles and cursed in his heart, "What a scheming old rogue!"
But the lingering strawberry flavor in his mouth made him purse his lips, and he still couldn't help but smile. What else could he do? He could just spoil her.
With a smile on his face, he bent down to replace the full oil barrel. He felt that the oil had been almost collected, and today's stock would be enough for them to use for a while.
Standing up, he saw that some black gasoline was accidentally stained on his fingers. He took out a tissue from the space and wiped it, intending to wash it after everything was done.
A sudden gust of wind made him shiver. He raised his hand to wrap his coat around himself. The sun was about to set in the evening and the temperature was lower than during the day.
The cold air came quickly. Lin Mian had just changed into a thick sweatshirt a few days ago, and now he had to put on a coat. The yellow leaves on the trees on the roadside were falling down.
He began to realize something unusual. Since the high temperature in summer could reach an outrageous level, would the temperature in winter also be abnormally low?
He suddenly seemed to understand Jiang Jie's intention of going to the north. The other party must have guessed something a long time ago, so he was more actively looking for some winter supplies along the way.
I hope this winter can go smoothly, not only for them, but also for many surviving humans.

While in his sleep, Lin Mian suddenly felt cold. He curled up his body and subconsciously moved to the side, trying to find that warm embrace.
But his body hit nothing and he woke up suddenly. The camping light on the bedside was on and he could see at a glance that there was no one around.
He was stunned for two seconds, rubbed his eyes, sat up from the bed, looked around, and found that he was the only one in the RV.
He blinked blankly. Could it be that he discovered some alien creatures approaching and went to clean them up?
This kind of thing happened frequently before. In the end times, there will not be peaceful nights every day.
But he thought about it and felt that something was wrong. If the other party left to clean up the alien objects, for safety reasons, he would not let him be unaware and would let him stay awake and wait for him to come back.
If he wasn't awakened, then someone was nearby.
Thinking of this, Lin Mian became even more confused. There was no sound of fighting outside. What were they doing instead of sleeping in the middle of the night?
He lifted the quilt and got out of bed. He had worn a short-sleeved shirt and shorts for comfort when he slept, and it felt a bit cold when he got out of bed, so he grabbed the coat next to him and put it on.
When he walked to the car door, he found that it was open. The wind blowing in from outside was chilly. He rubbed his arms and went down to the steps.
In the dim night outside, he saw a man squatting on the ground not far away, seemingly checking something. He tentatively called out, "Brother Ji?"
Jiang Jie had actually heard the noise in the car a long time ago and knew that he had woken up, so he was not surprised to hear him calling him.
She just turned around and saw him standing there in thin clothes with his legs exposed. She frowned slightly, stood up and walked forward, "Why don't you wear more clothes?"
I bent down and touched his legs, which were cold. I simply picked him up with one hand and stepped directly into the car.
Lin Mian put his arms around his neck, and he carried him back to the bed and covered him with a quilt. He obediently let himself be fiddled with, and then asked, "What were you doing just now?"
Jiang Jie sat down beside the bed and said, "There must be an alien creature approaching."
After he got off the car, he found some animal footprints nearby.
"What?" Lin Mian was very surprised. With the other party's sensitivity, how could he let the alien creature get so close?
"Just as there are hidden mutants with special abilities, there are also hidden mutants with special abilities. There's nothing strange about that." However, abilities also vary in strength. This one tonight is obviously quite good, and only Jiang Jie could sense something unusual when it approached.
The other party became cowardly when he woke up and fled from the vicinity very quickly. With such a strong desire to survive, he probably won't come back.
It was lucky that it survived.
Jiang Jie took off the shirt he had just put on, leaving only his pajamas, lifted the quilt and crawled in, holding the person in his arms, "Go to sleep, it won't dare to come."
Even if it comes, let it never come back.
With him by her side, Lin Mian felt much more at ease. He yawned, leaned against his chest and rubbed it lightly, receiving a kiss on his forehead. "You really disturb my sweet dreams."
Hearing this, Jiang Jie chuckled and raised his eyebrows, "Are you talking about me or the mutant?"
Lin Mian looked up at him, leaned over and kissed the mole under his lip, "Guess."
Jiang Yan pinched his face and kissed him on the mouth. When he pulled away, he couldn't help but leaned in and kissed him again. Then he pressed his head back to his chest and rubbed the back of his neck from time to time. "I guess you are talking about the mutant."
Lin Mian just laughed twice and didn't say whether his guess was right or not.
The hand pinching the back of his neck made him gradually feel sleepy. He opened his mouth and yawned, slowly closed his eyes, and his consciousness began to become chaotic.
Hearing his breathing gradually become steady and regular, Jiang Jie stopped what he was doing, reached out to turn off the camping light, and when the surroundings fell into darkness, he gently rested his chin on the other's head and hugged him to sleep.
