Chapter 47 The Real Xu Zhiyang
"The good boy in your eyes, the good brother in your brothers' eyes, once used a baseball bat and almost broke someone's leg."
As Xu Zhiyang spoke, he laughed softly.
Li Huiyin burst into tears, "When did it happen?"
"Second grade."
"I'm sorry." Li Huiyin whispered, "I'm sorry."
"Why apologize? You didn't do anything wrong." Xu Zhiyang put out the cigarette and raised his hand to wipe away her tears.
Li Huiyin choked up: "In fact, we didn't care about you enough. I was angry that you ignored me, and then I stopped looking for you. We didn't know that you had become like this..."
"It has nothing to do with you, and it has nothing to do with my brother." Xu Zhiyang took out another cigarette and lit it. "Han Zhiche was able to go back to his research as if nothing had happened three days after his parents died. He has always been more mentally stable than me. Unlike me, he has never been able to get over it."
"Now that I think about it, I finally understand why I developed a dark personality."
Xu Zhiyang looked at his hands and said, "It turns out that I am a bad person at heart."
"You're not a bad person." Li Huiyin took Xu Zhiyang's cigarette and threw it on the ground. "I'll kill anyone who dares to say you're bad!"
Xu Zhiyang closed his eyes and smiled for a long time. He leaned against the wall and suppressed the heat in his eyes.
"Okay, go in. Don't tell Han Zhiche what happened just now." Xu Zhiyang opened his eyes again and perfectly suppressed all emotions.
"Or he'll kill me."
"But I... seem to have done something wrong again." Li Huiyin pulled at Xu Zhiyang's clothes guiltily, "You are obviously very sad. You like him... right?"
"Yes." Xu Zhiyang looked at Li Huiyin calmly, "But you know what? I'm afraid of separation."
"The only way to never be apart is to never be together."
"So don't mention it again. Zhu Ci and I are just comrades-in-arms, just like he said."
.
The night passed safely, and everyone except Li Huiyin felt refreshed.
Xu Zhiyang returned to his usual self, calm, yet also playful from time to time.
"Li Huiyin, are you thinking about my brother again? Look at your dark circles."
"I didn't..." Li Huiyin said unconfidently, "Well, I thought about it for a while."
But just because of guilt, Xu Zhiyang's brother Han Zhiche asked Li Huiyin to help look after Xu Zhiyang before leaving.
But Li Huiyin only now realized that he didn't understand Xu Zhiyang at all.
Xu Zhiyang smiled and suddenly put on a coat. Turning around, she saw Zhu Ci and brought a cup of hot water. "Drink some water. I put some candies in your bag. If you have low blood sugar, remember to take them."
"Thank you." Xu Zhiyang took the cup, took off the coat and handed it back, "I'm not cold, you wear it."
Zhu Ci always felt that there was something wrong with the young man in front of him, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
"Thank you, I'm really not cold." Xu Zhiyang put the clothes on Zhu Ci's arm and turned to get his backpack. As for the glass of water, he casually put it on the table without drinking a sip.
Xu Zhiyang is a cruel person. Since it is a fruitless thing, he should cut off all thoughts as soon as possible. Since they are comrades, there is no need for anything extra.
"There's a large supermarket up ahead." Qin Shiyu held up a travel guide. "Let's go take a look and get some food."
Zhu Ci nodded and glanced back, only to see Xu Zhiyang sitting silently behind Li Huiyin, looking into the distance.
The supermarket Qin Shiyu mentioned was very large, with three floors in total. They only needed to go to the first floor, which was for fast food such as snacks.
Zhu Ci was the first to slide down from Momo, and was about to help Xu Zhiyang, but saw that he had already landed beside him.
Qin Shiyu said loudly: "I won't go in."
Li Huiyin followed up, "I won't go down either. I'll stay here to protect Xiaoyu."
"Then I'll go with them." Mu Ke's wings can quickly emerge and spread out, and can be folded up and hidden when not in use, so they won't get in the way.
The glass door of the supermarket was shattered. Although the sun was shining brightly outside, the supermarket was large and it was pitch black inside.
Zhu Ci took out a flashlight from his backpack and handed it to Xu Zhiyang, "Here, be careful."
"No need, just one, you use it." A small flame appeared in Xu Zhiyang's palm, "I can use the fire energy for lighting."
Zhu Ci's hand froze for half a second, then he handed it to Mu Ke politely.
Mu Ke smiled and said, "No, I have night vision."
Xu Zhiyang was the first to step into the darkness, carefully feeling the energy fluctuations inside.
It seemed like there was nothing, not even the fire energy of the zombies could be felt.
How could it be so quiet here?
Xu Zhiyang looked at the surroundings illuminated by the flames and saw that the surrounding shelves had been looted and were empty, with only a few bags of food scattered on the ground.
Xu Zhiyang squatted down and put all the fallen biscuits into his backpack, then stood up and continued walking inside.
Zhu Ci followed him closely and warned him coldly, "Just take some and leave. It's too dark in there and it's not safe."
"Yeah." Xu Zhiyang responded indifferently, "There's nothing to be afraid of. You're a wind power user, so basically nothing can hurt you."
Zhu Ci frowned, "I'm not worried about myself."
"Then who are you worried about? Me?" Xu Zhiyang chuckled, and the laughter was particularly abrupt in the silent darkness.
Zhu Ci didn't say anything, but just reached out and grabbed his arm.
Xu Zhiyang dodged and said calmly, "Don't worry about me. Ah Yang will come out when it's dangerous. Just take care of yourself."
Zhu Ci didn't understand why the boy who had thrown himself into his arms and almost cried yesterday was so cold today. He couldn't figure out what had made him unhappy.
"Did I do something to make you uncomfortable?" Zhu Ci was not the kind of person who liked to dwell on trivial matters. Since he couldn't figure it out, he just asked directly.
"No, it's my own problem." When Xu Zhiyang went to pick up a bag of candy, his hand was suddenly pierced by the broken glass on the ground. Blood dripped onto the ground. He didn't make a sound for fear that Zhu Ci would hear it.
Zhuci: "What does it mean?"
Xu Zhiyang shook his hands, put the candy away, and whispered, "Sorry, let me think about it for a few days, think about how I should tell you, or come up with a good idea."
Zhu Ci was confused by what he heard. Seeing that Xu Zhiyang wanted to go deeper, Zhu Ci was worried, so he quickly passed him, picked up all the snacks that fell on the ground, and filled their backpacks.
"Okay, let's go out." Zhu Ci lowered his eyes and looked at Xu Zhiyang in front of him, blocking him from going any further inside.
“…”
"Okay." Xu Zhiyang turned around quickly, but suddenly he saw a pair of blood-red eyes appear in the gap between the shelves, staring at him.
"Get out of the way!" As soon as Xu Zhiyang finished speaking, the shelf was knocked down with a "bang". Fortunately, Zhu Ci reacted quickly and pulled him aside.
Pairs of red eyes lit up in the darkness, accompanied by chirping sounds.
Xu Zhiyang felt a chill on his back and felt that the voice was somewhat familiar. He remembered what it was almost instantly!
"Mutated rat!"
Remembering the ability of the mutant mouse when they first met, Zhu Ci immediately put his arm around Xu Zhiyang's waist and used his wind power to take him around the obstacles and rush out of the supermarket.
Mu Ke did not go with the two of them. He filled his backpack and stood at the door waiting for them. When he saw the two of them rushing out in a hurry, his expression changed.
"What's wrong?"
Before he could answer, Mu Ke saw a group of mutant rats chasing out from the darkness of the supermarket!
The largest of these rats were about two meters long, while the smallest ones were half the length of an adult. Each of them had sharp claws and protruding fangs, and their eyes were fierce. It was obvious that they regarded the people as food.
Momo jumped up in fright when he saw these things. Without waiting for the three to approach, he suddenly jumped up from the ground and ran away...
Mu Ke spread his wings and flew into the air. His hands transformed into claws, his knuckles like hooks, and his hook-like fingertips were extremely sharp.
Zhu Ci raised his hand and a wind blade split the nearest mouse in half. Xu Zhiyang had already created wings behind him using wood energy.
"Fly quickly!" Xu Zhiyang urged.
Zhu Ci immediately flapped his wings and reached out to grab Xu Zhiyang's hand. At this moment, accompanied by a sharp animal cry, a huge creature slid down from the downstairs and landed right on top of Zhu Ci's head!
Xu Zhiyang's pupils shrank rapidly, and he suddenly pushed Zhu Ci away with the wind.
A chill came from behind Xu Zhiyang, followed by severe pain. Xu Zhiyang's eyes turned red in an instant, and he turned around and shot out a lightning bolt with purple light.
Lightning struck the rat group like a whip, electrocuting a bunch of mutant rats to death!
Immediately afterwards, the thing that was above Zhu Ci's head also fell to the ground.
Only then did Ayang see clearly that this thing was a mutant cricket. Its shell was black and reflective, and its two front legs had a row of barbed hooks. It was not difficult to imagine how painful it would be if it hooked onto a person.
"Xu Zhiyang!" Zhu Ci swooped down and paused when he saw his eyes.
Ah Yang raised his hand and touched his back, grimacing in pain.
"Don't touch it!" Zhu Ci grabbed his wrist tightly and stood in front of A Yang, with the wind blade in his hand ready to go, his eyes fixed on the mutated cricket.
This cricket is longer than Momo, and the sound it makes is enough to burst the eardrums.
Mu Ke slowly landed beside the two men, with his back to them, and was highly alert to the mutant rats that were ready to move in the supermarket.
