Chapter 7: Three-person team formed
"Where's your energy? Is it still there?"
"What?"
Xu Zhiyang grabbed Li Huiyin's arm and said, "Feel carefully the remaining energy in your body. The energy is stored in a container that you can't see but you can clearly feel. You can feel how much it has been consumed!"
"Hurry!" Xu Zhiyang urged.
Li Huiyin quickly closed her eyes and felt it carefully. Two seconds later, she opened her eyes and said in surprise, "I feel it! This 'energy' in my body is still around 60 to 70 percent!"
Xu Zhiyang was envious. Why were other people's abilities directly at the first level, while his was only at the zero level?
"Okay, listen to me, your energy should be metallic, and you can control metal." Xu Zhiyang finally had the opportunity to practice his last ability - transmitting energy.
That is to replenish energy.
Xu Zhiyang held Li Huiyin's hand, separated the gold energy from his own five elements energy and transmitted it to Li Huiyin.
Li Huiyin's eyes widened. "F*ck! You even have this ability?!"
Thirty percent was replenished quickly, and when Haozi woke up from his stunned state, Li Huiyin's energy was already 100%.
Xu Zhiyang withdrew his hand and said sternly, "Now, try to get the motorcycle stuck in the railing on the slope down and smash the rat to death!"
"Okay!" Li Huiyin was considered a genius among the people with special abilities and was able to get the hang of it quickly. She raised her hands and took the motorcycle with some difficulty.
At this moment, the rat stood up with a fierce squeak, and pounced on the two people with its four claws touching the ground. Its scarlet eyes showed that it wished it could eat the two humans alive!
Li Huiyin also took the motorcycle with some difficulty, raised her hand and threw it hard at Haozi!
"Bang--!"
The thrown motorcycle brushed past the mouse and fell to the ground, where it exploded due to the huge impact.
Xu Zhiyang: “…”
It really disappoints the organization. He can't even last three seconds.
Li Huiyin didn't even have time to smile awkwardly before the mouse pounced right in front of her!
A huge shadow fell over them.
Xu Zhiyang knew they couldn't escape.
“Whoosh—”
A sharp wind broke through the air and passed by in front of him.
The mouse in the air before him seemed to be under a spell of immobilization. It suddenly stopped and then fell heavily to the ground, breaking into two pieces, with its internal organs and blood spilling all over the floor.
Xu Zhiyang seemed to sense something and turned her head, meeting the eyes of the tall and cold-faced man.
Zhu Ci took a long step forward and walked up to Xu Zhiyang. "Leave here, many zombies are coming this way."
…
After leaving the river, the three of them left Jincheng before dark and temporarily stayed in an empty villa in the suburbs.
Li Huiyin took out a few candles and pulled the thick sunshade curtains in the living room to prevent the candlelight from leaking out and attracting monsters.
"How is it? Has the wound healed?"
Li Huiyin used the dim light of the candle to check Xu Zhiyang's abdominal wound.
"It's scabby." Xu Zhiyang pulled down the hem of her skirt. "Can you help me find some clothes?"
Li Huiyin made an OK gesture and turned into one of the bedrooms.
Xu Zhiyang raised his eyelids and glanced at the person opposite him lazily, "What's your name?"
"Congratulations." Congratulations said.
Xu Zhiyang nodded and asked knowingly, "You saw it all."
"Hmm." Zhu Ci wiped the palm-sized scimitar in his hand and said calmly, "Having seen your abilities, do you want to work together to go to the imperial capital?"
Hearing this, Xu Zhiyang was not surprised at all, "Okay."
He hadn't expected the boy to agree so quickly. After all, based on his understanding of children his age, he knew they would normally refuse. Or even if they didn't refuse, they would have said a few words to calm him down first.
Xu Zhiyang knew Zhu Ci too well. She could tell what he was thinking and suddenly smiled faintly.
"The Wind Ability user has extremely high combat power and is about to break through to the second level. Being able to travel with a strong person will greatly increase our chances of survival along the way."
Unexpectedly, the young man in front of him knew so much. Zhu Ci stopped talking nonsense and said simply, "It's a pleasure to work with you. Let's help each other."
"No problem." Xu Zhiyang's expression was calm.
Zhu Ci paused for two seconds and then said, "What exactly are your abilities? You don't have to tell me if you don't want to."
Xu Zhiyang propped up her chin and tilted her head to look at him, "Then I don't want to talk about it."
“…”
Sure enough, I still didn't give up on him.
Seeing Zhu Ci's stunned look for a moment, Xu Zhiyang curled the corners of his mouth but tried not to laugh.
"I found it, but the clothes are a little big." Li Huiyin came out of the bedroom and took a set of clothes to Xu Zhiyang.
Xu Zhiyang unfolded it and took a look, speechless: "Is this 'a little' big?"
Li Huiyin chuckled: "It's nothing serious. It's summer, so loose clothes are cool."
“…Alright.”
That's true. After all, a looser fit is better than the belly-revealing outfit you're wearing that got scratched by a mouse - what a fart!
Xu Zhiyang changed his clothes and came out with a wooden face.
Li Huiyin tried to hold back, but couldn't help laughing silently.
Xu Zhiyang helplessly tugged at the sack-like clothes on her body. She really didn't expect that the owner of this house was a super fat man. His clothes were so big that only a top could cover his knees.
A smile flashed in Zhu Ci's eyes. Seeing Xu Zhiyang's snow-white neck and back exposed, he raised his eyebrows, opened his backpack, took out a clean short-sleeved shirt and threw it over.
Xu Zhiyang took off the clothes on her head. It was a black short-sleeved shirt. Although it was also big, it was not that exaggerated.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
It was now past eight o'clock in the evening. After a whole day of running for their lives, Xu Zhiyang and Li Huiyin, two growing students, were already hungry.
Li Huiyin took a candle and rummaged around in the kitchen for a while, then trotted out excitedly, "Xu Xiaoyang! Here are disposable alcohol fuel and a small pot! We can cook instant noodles!"
Xu Zhiyang nodded perfunctorily, "Yeah, awesome."
Both of them are lazy and it is a blessing for them to be able to boil some water.
Li Huiyin struggled for a long time to find her lighter, and put the small pot on her head in frustration.
At this moment, a bony hand reached out, pressed the lighter, and ignited the alcohol block in an instant.
"Go make some boiled noodles." Zhu Ci said calmly.
"Oh, you even have a lighter." Li Huiyin brought a small pot into the house, and came out with two other pots.
Xu Zhiyang's wound no longer hurt, so she simply got up from the sofa, took the small pot, and set up the stand to support the pot, but she hadn't asked to borrow a lighter yet.
Zhuci has already been handed over.
Xu Zhiyang turned her head to look at him, and when she took the lighter, her fingertips accidentally brushed across his palm.
Zhu Ci withdrew his hand and gently twisted his fingers, ignoring the ambiguous itch.
After a quick dinner, Li Huiyin felt sleepy and fell asleep on the sofa in no time.
Xu Zhiyang didn't have such a big heart as her. He listened quietly to the roars of unknown creatures in the distance and the zombies nearby flying around like headless flies.
And something was breaking out of the ground.
It is extremely difficult to survive in this world. Human beings, who were once high and mighty, have long since fallen to the bottom of the food chain.
"Hua La" Zhu Ci took a map and spread it flat on the table, studying it carefully by the candle.
Xu Zhiyang followed his lead and sat on the carpet. She glanced at the map for a few seconds and saw him pointing to the highway intersection: "We'll take the highway tomorrow. It would be best if we could get a car."
