Chapter 28 The Peacock Spreading Its Tail
Qin Zhuo and the others stepped on the gas and left the city.
"Damn it!" Chen Yunfei slammed his hand on the steering wheel, cursing under his breath. "Out of gas! Luckily, those zombies didn't catch up, or we would have been in big trouble."
After a few sputtering sounds, the car came to a complete stop halfway down the road.
At this moment, they were in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by desolation, with only the occasional whistling of the wind.
Qin Zhuo pushed open the car door, walked to the back, opened the back seat door, and glanced at Qiao Yan, who was still unconscious.
He called out to the little pomelo inside, "Little pomelo, take out the gasoline you put in the space before."
Yu Xiang was lost in thought when she heard Qin Zhuo's voice, and her little head snapped up. "Oh, oh."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a can of gasoline appeared beside Qin Zhuo with a clang.
Just as Qin Zhuo was about to bend down to get the gasoline, his gaze inadvertently fell on the two whip marks on Youxiang's arm.
The whip marks were particularly glaring on Youxiang's fair and tender skin.
Qin Zhuo's expression changed. He grabbed Youxiang's hand, his eyes filled with both anger and worry.
"What happened? Did those zombies hurt you?"
Only after Qin Zhuo pointed it out did Youxiang belatedly realize the injuries on her body.
Although she didn't feel any pain, she looked at the two unsightly whip marks, her little mouth twitched, and she looked pitiful.
Waaah—the little zombie is a little sad, she's become ugly!
"Hmm~"
Just then, Qiao Yan slowly woke up.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a man staring at Yuka with an unfriendly expression, while she herself was still tightly bound.
She instinctively felt that this man was going to harm Yuxiang, and her heart jumped into her throat. She shouted, "What are you going to do? If you have a problem, come at me!"
Qiao Yan's shout drew everyone's attention to her.
Chen Yunfei looked puzzled, scratched his head, and asked, "Little Youzi, who is this woman? Why are you tying her up?"
Um?
It was Xiaoyouzi who tied her up!
These people also know Little Yuzu.
Qiao Yan's mind was full of questions, and her head was buzzing and throbbing with pain.
She shook her head vigorously, trying to recall what had happened.
When Youxiang saw Qiao Yan wake up, her eyes lit up immediately.
While frantically untying Qiao Yan, she said, "Yan Yan, you're awake! You were controlled by the bad zombies and you even hurt me."
As she spoke, Youxiang pitifully stretched out her injured arm to show Qiao Yan.
Qiao Yan grabbed Youxiang's arm and looked at the whip marks.
This is clearly her method.
Some scenes from that time vaguely surfaced in my mind.
She was being controlled to attack Yuka, while Yuka only defended herself and didn't retaliate at all.
Little Yuzu was afraid of hurting her.
Thinking of this, Qiao Yan felt a pang of guilt, and her eyes reddened. She tightly grasped Youxiang's hand, "Little Youzi, I'm sorry!"
Yu Xiang waved her hand, "It's not Yan Yan's fault, Yan Yan was controlled by the bad zombie."
After saying that, she gave Qiao Yan a sweet smile that warmed everyone's heart.
Qiao Yan was so moved that she hugged Youxiang tightly with both hands, as if she wanted to pull this little zombie into her arms.
Yu Xiang, like a well-behaved kitten, gently patted Qiao Yan's back.
Anyone who saw that scene would agree that it showed the deep bond between the sisters.
"Little Yuzu, let me treat your wounds." Qiao Yan looked at the whip marks on Yu Xiang's arm with heartache.
Yu Xiang blinked her big eyes and sweetly replied, "Mmm, thank you, Yan Yan."
He looked so happy, as if he wasn't the one who was hurt, and he even grinned from ear to ear.
Qin Zhuo outside the car and Chen Yunfei in the driver's seat were instantly and completely ignored by the two of them.
Qin Zhuo was extremely annoyed. He frowned and slammed the back door shut with a loud "bang," making the car shake.
He turned around angrily and poured gasoline into the car's fuel tank.
Chen Yunfei secretly chuckled as he looked at Qin Zhuo's jealous expression.
Brother Qin is angry. His childhood sweetheart has been seduced by a pretty older woman. He would be angry too if he were in his shoes.
I didn't look closely before, but now that I look closely, the pretty lady that Xiaoyouzi found is exactly his type.
As he pondered, Chen Yunfei's ears turned slightly red, and he looked completely infatuated.
Qiao Yan glanced at Chen Yunfei's appearance and a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes.
A vulgar man.
Qin Zhuo changed the gasoline, got into the car, and sat down.
He crossed his arms and said, "Gasoline is the first resource we need to collect. We ran out of gasoline in the truck, and the current gasoline won't last long either."
Chen Yunfei quickly flipped through the map, muttering, "The nearest gas station is five or six kilometers away. I wonder how much gasoline I can find there."
Qiao Yan seemed to have thought of something and said, "I know a 4S store nearby that might have gasoline."
Qin Zhuo said directly to Chen Yunfei, "Go to the 4S store."
As Chen Yunfei started the car, he chatted enthusiastically with Qiao Yan.
"When people think of gasoline, their first thought is to go to a gas station, but 4S stores also have it. You're quite clever. By the way, I still don't know your name?"
Qiao Yan glanced at him, her expression indifferent. "My name is Qiao Yan."
"Qiao Yan is a beautiful name!" Chen Yunfei praised.
Qiao Yan ignored her.
A man's sweet talk.
Chen Yunfei wasn't annoyed and continued to ask, "Where is Qiao Yan going next? Is she coming with us?"
Yuka sat to the side, listening to their conversation in a daze.
Hearing this, she looked at Qiao Yan and asked, "Yan Yan, I can't bear to part with you. Can you come with us?"
Qiao Yan patted Youxiang's head gently and said, "Little Youzi, I still need to go find my sister."
"Little sister?" Yuka tilted her head, looking puzzled.
Her adoptive parents died early, and she has no siblings, so she finds it hard to understand this kind of family affection.
Qiao Yan patiently explained, "Yes, a little sister as cute as you."
Yuxiang asked curiously, "Then where are you going to find your sister, Yan Yan?"
Qiao Yan: "H City, she studies there."
Yuka frowned, deep in thought.
Why does H City sound familiar to her?
Upon hearing this, Chen Yunfei excitedly slapped his thigh, "H City, we're going to H City anyway, let's go together since it's on the way."
Qiao Yan was slightly taken aback, then agreed, "Okay, let's go together."
She suddenly remembered something important.
Do these two know that Xiaoyouzi is a zombie?
Will they hurt the little pomelo?
If that's the case, she definitely won't let Xiaoyouzi stay with them.
Chen Yunfei continued talking to himself, "We really are destined to meet. I never thought we'd both be going to H City."
Qin Zhu glared at him irritably, "Shut up and focus on driving. Don't be like a peacock spreading its tail feathers."
Upon hearing the word "peacock," Yu Xiang's eyes widened instantly, and she looked around, asking, "Peacock? Where did this peacock come from?"
Chen Yunfei blushed deeply after Qin Zhuo's words.
He muttered under his breath, dissatisfied, "Brother Qin, really, he doesn't even give me any face."
After saying that, he secretly glanced at Qiao Yan.
But Qiao Yan was talking to Youxiang with her head down, and seemed not to hear her.
