Chapter 12 Xu Xiaojing and the Others
As he spoke, the man raised his hand and made a solemn promise.
It was approaching evening, the sun was setting, the sky was getting darker, and the moonlit night was about to fall. Yu Min had no desire to leave his paradise on earth. With a determined heart, he threw his dignity aside and knelt down before Lin Luyan.
"Boss lady, please, zombies eat people. Can you let me stay here for one night? I will leave Wahada Restaurant as soon as the sun comes out tomorrow morning."
Lin Luyan shook her head firmly. The shelter has its own rules, and she has no obligation to protect him.
The Qi brothers and sisters stayed behind, and among them was the influence of Grandma Lin. Because she had been caught in the rain, in the dangerous end of the world, she also wanted to hold an umbrella for the poor people with the same fate as herself.
But this does not mean that she will choose unconditional love. Almost no one will live happily in the end times. She has no need and no obligation to be kind and protect everyone.
Without looking at Yu Min again, Lin Luyan picked up the tray of bowls and walked towards the kitchen.
With his back to Yu Min, he said in a cold and indifferent tone, "If you stay for an hour, the restaurant will automatically expel you. While there is still some light outside, you'd better get out early and find a safe place to stay."
The crescent-shaped kitchen door closed quietly, without any echo.
The man looked a little desperate, his hands hanging down in frustration, shaking violently.
Before leaving, he glanced at Qin Simu and the other two dejectedly, then turned away unwillingly.
He was not stupid. After being hungry for two days and one night, he was full after eating only a bowl of rice, a bowl of steamed egg and a bowl of vegetables.
This restaurant must be one of the few lucky things for mankind in the end times.
Therefore, if he fails to leave in time within 1 hour, he will be automatically expelled as Lin Luyan warned.
By then, you might be in passive danger. It would be better to leave on your own initiative, collect some gold, and come back to eat tomorrow.

A beam of light remained through the curtains, slanting across the silver floor.
Qi Xiaoxin, who had just taken a shower, lay comfortably on the bed in the staff room, blinking her bright eyes and swinging her little feet happily.
She excitedly turned her head and nudged Qi Yining, who was lost in thought, "Brother, I like it here so much. It's much more comfortable than Xixi's nest."
Speaking of Xixi, Qi Xiaoxin's tone became a little sad, and she cried: "Brother, I miss Xixi. We used to sleep in its nest, so where did it go to sleep?"
Xixi was bought by Qi's parents and grew up with Qi Yining and Qi Xiaoxin. In Qi Xiaoxin's heart, Xixi is a member of their family.
On the day Xixi disappeared, the Qi siblings were driven out by the housekeeper's relatives and forced to live in a doghouse.
Even for lunch and dinner afterwards, they could only eat leftovers next to the doghouse.
Qi Xiaoxin was young and didn't quite understand what was happening to her.
She asked Qi Yining several times, but never got a positive response.
Qi Yining turned around, his eyes slightly red, trying hard to hold back the tears, and imitated an adult, gently patting his sister's back, "Go to sleep, Xixi has gone to find its parents, we won't have the chance to see it again."
Looking for mom and dad?
Qi Xiaoxin also missed her parents. She was a little sad that Xixi left without saying goodbye, but she was also happy that her good friend could find her parents.
"Brother, do mom and dad know we are here? When will they come to find us?"
She only knew that her parents were very far away. She also wanted to be as brave as Xixi and take the initiative to find her parents, but she didn't know where to look.
This is a very difficult thing for children.
"Soon, Mom and Dad will definitely try their best to come and see us." Qi Yining clenched his hands firmly in the quilt. He was telling his sister this, but he was also trying to convince himself.
The next day.
The Qi brothers and sisters stayed obediently in the restaurant's staff room, standing by the window and watching the RV drive away into the distance.
Qi Xiaoxin puffed up her cheeks, innocent and naive, imitating Lin Luyan's previous behavior, and said in a baby voice: "Brother, we can't open the door, there will be bad people!"
"Yeah!" Qi Yining nodded heavily in agreement. Sister Lin Luyan said that as long as he didn't open that door, he would be safe, because except for her, no one else from outside could open the door of the restaurant.
The little hands quietly closed the dark curtains, and the two little figures were perfectly hidden.
…………
Near the gas station.
Three boys and girls who looked like college students were sitting on the ground dejectedly, and a couple was cursing at each other.
They followed Pan Pan's team out from the Dawn Base this morning. There were two cars and ten people. Three of them had awakened special abilities and were sought after by everyone in the base.
Pan Chen, the captain of Panpan Team, is a dual-ability user of water and space elements.
There are few people with special abilities, and those with dual abilities are even rarer.
Therefore, Pan Chen's status in the Shuguang Base is extremely high, and he seems to be on par with the deputy base commander.
This time, when Pan Pan's team went out on a mission, the personnel and vehicle arrangements for the operation were all decided by Pan Chen alone.
The two cars drove to the gas station. Pan Chen, who was obviously a person with spatial abilities, pretended to hate gasoline and refused to store it in his space. He insisted that people move the barrels of oil into the car to take up space.
However, the space inside the vehicle is limited. To transport the target amount of fuel back to the base at once means that two people must be eliminated from the ten-man team on the spot.
Pan Chen is Xu Xiaojing and Wang Li's college roommate. Due to their living habits and personalities, their relationship has not been very good.
The grudges before the end of the world, plus she has a good impression of Xu Xiaojing's boyfriend Fu Kun, who is also a powerful fire-type mutant.
Ignoring his teammates' suggestion to carry the items back and forth twice, Pan Chen firmly stipulated the elimination of the candidates.
Similarly, Fu Kun did not disappoint Pan Chen. After receiving the girl's ambiguous signal without any hesitation, he silently chose to take side and never looked at Xu Xiaojing again.
Instead, Wang Li’s boyfriend Chen Youjing cursed the scumbag and bitch, and resolutely followed his girlfriend out of the car.
Pan Chen had already packed up all the daily necessities in the small supermarket inside the gas station, leaving nothing behind.
Chen Youjing walked around but didn't find any suitable weapons or food.
Xu Xiaojing curled up in the corner, her face propped up on her knees, her eyes red and swollen, and her clothes wet with tears.
Seeing her best friend like this, Wang Li was so disappointed with her friend that her face flushed with anger. She pulled Xu Xiaojing up and shouted loudly without caring about her ladylike image:
"Xiao Jing, wake up! Fu Kun is a scumbag! He's so irresponsible! That pair of bitches have probably been hooking up for a long time. They're so infatuated with each other. It's not worth it to be sad for him!"
At this moment, Xu Xiaojing was completely trapped in the ruthless betrayal by her ex-boyfriend. She felt numb and could not hear anything. She kept sobbing with empty eyes and looked very helpless.
