Chapter 35 Just Kidding
Ji Xian's hand trembled slightly as he slowly accepted the Tang sword handed to him by Lu Xici.
The sharp blade stabbed fiercely towards Wen An's head.
With a muffled thud, Wen An fell silent.
Ji Xian took a deep breath, his voice low and hoarse: "Let's go!"
The bodies of the off-road vehicles and RVs were covered with dents and handprints, as if they had been slapped by countless zombie hands.
Fortunately, the vehicle could still be started with difficulty.
He Zhuo led the way in an off-road vehicle, while Lu Xici followed behind in a motorhome.
The journey out of the city was remarkably smooth; at least we didn't encounter the same massive zombie horde as yesterday.
The sun shone on the empty road, and the weather seemed even hotter and more humid than yesterday.
Occasionally, a few zombies would wander aimlessly by the roadside, and the two cars would either avoid them or step on the gas and run them over.
As the sun rose higher, around noon, the group found an open space.
Each person received two pieces of bread, and another person took over the driving, and they continued on their way.
Lu Nange's stomach rumbled as she thought about the delicious food in her system inventory, and her mouth watered.
It's so agonizing to be able to see it but not eat it!
I took a big bite of the bread in my hand, and sobbed, "I really want to reveal my secret space!"
None of the zombies today have crystal cores.
I was originally thinking of trying to see if I could wake up 'Youyou'!
Aaaaaah!!!
Aaaaaaahh ...
I take a bite of bread, when will the black rain come?
Lu Beiye watched his older sister take a bite of bread, and then he took a bite too!
Take another bite of bread, when will the zombie level up?
Lu Beiye took another bite of bread.
I'll take another bite of bread. When will the male protagonist finally awaken his superpowers?!
Lu Beiye lowered his head and took another bite of bread.
...
At that moment, Chi Yi was driving, and Gu Wan took advantage of the time when they were distributing the bread to get into the SUV.
Lu Xici and Chi Yanzhou glanced at Lu Nange and Lu Beiye without realizing it.
The two siblings stared intently at the dry bread in their hands, their eyes still wet, looking utterly pitiful.
Lu Xici's heart softened: "Just bring out whatever you want to eat!"
Lu Nange and Lu Beiye, who were quietly munching on bread, froze in their tracks.
With a nonchalant smile on his lips, Chi Yanzhou stood up and closed the door between the driver's seat and the living room.
Turning around, I saw the table laden with a dazzling array of delicious food.
Fried chicken, grilled fish, dumplings, barbecue, rice noodles, rice, spicy hot pot, and all kinds of home-style dishes...
A table full of food, dazzling to the eye.
The two siblings' eyes sparkled like stars.
Lu Nange held a chicken wing in one hand and a can of cola in the other, her cheeks bulging out.
He greeted them in a mumbled but enthusiastic voice, "Eat up, big brother, Yan-ge!"
The two boys raised their eyebrows in amusement.
One person placed a bowl of rice in front of them.
"Nan Nan, this dish is delicious!"
Lu Beiye's expression was full of smugness: "That's right, my sister's cooking is the best!"

The sky is gradually turning orange.
A row of low bungalows came into view, and judging from their layout and architectural style, it looked like an abandoned factory.
The vehicle slowly came to a stop not far away. Chi Yanzhou and Lu Xici climbed onto the roof of the vehicle, each raising binoculars to carefully observe the interior of the factory.
More than ten minutes later, finding nothing unusual, the two cars drove past.
The factory's two iron gates were wide open, and the vehicle drove straight in and stopped on the concrete floor of the loading and unloading area.
After spending some time together, they gradually developed a tacit understanding.
The group quickly stood back to back in a tight circle, warily observing their surroundings.
They then split into two teams and carefully searched the factory from the left and right sides respectively.
Stepping into the factory, a damp and rotten smell hits you.
The floodwaters have completely destroyed most of the facilities and buildings, making it difficult to recognize their original appearance.
It is speculated that all the people in this area had already been evacuated before the floodwaters rose.
Therefore, there were no zombies or signs of human activity inside.
After confirming it was safe, the group closed all the doors in the factory and planned to spend the night in their car.
After the two large red-painted iron gates closed,
Following Lu Nange's instructions, the boys moved the folding chairs and tables down.
After Lu Nange directed everyone to move everything downstairs.
A few boys were smoking in another corner, chatting quietly.
Gu Wan and Lu Nange were sorting out the supplies they had moved down not far away.
Lu Beiye tried to help, but Lu Nange pressed him down into a folding chair and shoved a bottle of milk into his hand.
The little one had no choice but to sit obediently, watching his older sister busy herself with her big eyes.
The moment the two blue refrigerators were opened, cool steam wafted out.
The group's eyes lit up instantly when they saw the box overflowing with drinks and food.
A long-lost look of surprise appeared on his tired face.
He Zhuo was still holding a lit cigarette, but he suddenly threw it away and rushed over in a few steps: "Nan Nan, where did this come from?"
Lu Nange looked up: "I brought it from home. Yan-ge helped me keep it."
Chi Yanzhou hummed in agreement.
Thinking about how they had eaten alone at noon, Lu Nange suggested, "How about we have hot pot tonight?"
"Okay, okay!" He Zhuo and Gu Wan responded almost in unison.
Lu Nan, the singer, quickly set up three portable gas stoves.
A pot of clear broth exudes a subtle, fresh aroma;
The remaining two pots contained bubbling, spicy soup with red oil, and the rich aroma instantly whetted everyone's appetite.
The sky was tinged with a warm orange hue, and the afterglow bathed everyone.
The table was steaming, and the ingredients in the hot pot were bubbling around, giving the tense group a brief moment of comfort.
He Zhu swallowed the meatball in one gulp and then let out a satisfied sigh.
"Awesome! How come I never knew that 'pissing beef balls' were so delicious!"
Gu Wan laughed and teased, "You used to be the kind of person who wouldn't even glance at frozen food."
He Zhuo waved his hand dismissively, looking smug: "This just shows that I, young master, can bend and stretch, what an excellent quality!"
...
Gu Qi held a can of cola in his hand and raised it slightly towards Ji Xian.
Ji Xian also raised his Coke and gently touched it to Gu Qi's.
The two men smiled at each other as the metal cans made a crisp sound when they touched.
The sun slowly sank in the west, and the sky gradually darkened.
The boys hung several camping lights on the tree.
Lu Nange and Gu Wan took turns washing up in the RV.
Under the tree, several boys were sitting leisurely on chairs.
He Zhuo tilted his head slightly: "Brothers, do you think we can make it back to the capital alive?"
Gu Qi: "What, is our young master He chickening out?"
In the shadows beneath the tree, Chi Yanzhou's brow bone cast a sharp silhouette beneath his tousled hair as he listened to He Zhuo's words, his eyes slightly raised.
Lu Xici scoffed, "Old He, look at how pathetic you are."
He Zhuo rushed towards Lu Xici, but was immediately pinned down in a chair by Lu Beiye.
He Zhuo looked completely bewildered: "Aye, your brother was just joking around with your brother!"
Lu Beiye raised his eyebrows, looking smug: "I was just messing around with Brother He Zhuo too!"
He Zhuo...
