The sticky black rain poured down and raged all night long.
The next day was still a sunny day.
The blazing sun penetrated the clouds, steaming the damp ground into twisted heat waves.
The temperature was rising at an alarming rate. Lu Nange measured the temperature outside and the thermometer was already pointing to 48℃.
On the sofa, Chi Yanzhou's body temperature was still frighteningly hot.
"We can't delay any longer," Chi Yi said hoarsely, "Master's temperature has reached 40 degrees. We must see a doctor."
Gu Qi looked at the map, his fingertips moving back and forth between Nanshi and the city ahead: "We are farther away from the next city than back to Nanshi, why don't we retreat back to Nanshi?"
"What are you still wasting time on!" He Zhuo knocked his head against the car window. "If this continues, Brother Yan's brain will be burnt out!"
"Will we be able to find a doctor if we go back?" Lu Nange's voice was very soft.
But the carriage was instantly quiet, "What if we fail? If we encounter another zombie wave, who can guarantee that they can protect the unconscious Chi Yanzhou?"
Lu Xici thought about what his sister and brother said, and thought that Chi Yanzhou was probably awakening his special ability. He replied in a gentle voice, "I think what Nan Nan said... makes sense."
Chi Yi turned to Lu Nange, with hope in his eyes: "Miss Lu, do you have any suggestions?"
"All the necessary medicines have been used," Lu Nange put a fever-reducing patch on the side of Chi Yanzhou's neck.
"Why don't we observe him for another night? If the fever doesn't subside within a day, we'll go back to South City..."
As the sun sets, a ray of orange-red light shines through the car window onto Chi Yanzhou's pale face.
His eyelashes trembled slightly, and the temperature of his body was fading away bit by bit.
Chi Yi was the first to notice it, leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Master, how do you feel now?"
He Zhuo: "Brother Yan, are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
Gu Qi unscrewed a bottle of water and handed it over: "Would you like some water?"
Chi Yanzhou slowly propped himself up, took the water and took a sip, his Adam's apple rolling.
He lowered his eyes and remained silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "My body... seems to be a little different."
Several people were startled, and Lu Xici frowned slightly: "What's the difference?"
Chi Yanzhou did not answer immediately, but lowered his head and stared at his palms.
The next second,
He suddenly clenched his five fingers together, and the moment his joints tensed—"Crack!"
Silver-white arcs exploded, wrapped around his fist, and flashed inside the carriage.
The electric current hissed and the air was filled with a faint smell of burning.
He Zhuo and Gu Qi suddenly widened their eyes, leaned back at the same time, and said in unison: "What the hell is this?!"
Lu Nange: "It's like the kind written in apocalyptic novels, supernatural powers!"
Everyone turned to look at her, with different expressions: "......?"
Lu Nange ignored their shock and asked Chi Yanzhou directly: "Do you want to get off the car and try?"
Chi Yanzhou felt the strange energy surging in his blood vessels, almost breaking through his skin.
When I opened the car door, the air was still filled with suffocating heat.
Chi Yanzhou opened his palm, and silver-white electric arcs jumped on his fingertips, making a slight "sizzling" sound.
He flipped his wrist and swung it forward - "BOOM!"
The blinding lightning struck the big tree outside the red-painted door.
The tree trunk broke in half in the dazzling light, smoke emanating from the charred cross-section, and residual electric current was still flowing and flickering between the wood grain.
Lu Nange leaned against the shadow beside the car and said, "Lightning-related abilities. In novels and TV shows, these abilities are among the most aggressive."
He Zhuo whistled and grinned: "Brother Yan, this is awesome! This killing power is awesome!"
Gu Qi: "It seems that we have an extra layer of protection!"
***
Chi Yanzhou's awakening was like a shot in the arm, finally bringing some life to the team that had been sluggish all day.
After eating bread all day, everyone decided to have Coke and self-heating rice in the evening.
Little Lu Beiye couldn't drink ice cola, so he could only hold the milk carton and sip it in small sips, leaving milk stains at the corners of his mouth.
After dinner, people chatted in groups of three or four.
Lu Nange took Lu Beiye and Lu Xici to the other end of the unloading area.
"Brother," Lu Nange lowered his voice, "Chi Yanzhou has awakened his supernatural power. Is my space..."
"The first bird to stick its head out gets shot." Lu Xici frowned and tapped his knuckles unconsciously.
Lu Nange: "Chi Yanzhou is the living target. History will only remember the first person to land on the moon. Who will remember the second one?"
"Wait two more days?"
Lu Nange: "Gu Qitian looked at the map and said that at our current speed, we are about two days away from the next city.
I started pretending to have a high fever that night and woke up every night.
The day after tomorrow we can go into the city and stock up on supplies. Chi Yanzhou has awakened his special powers.
Mine won't look out of place, and at least I won't have to hide what I eat or use.
Brother, in this horrible weather, I have to sneak out to take a shower, and I can’t eat or sleep properly! "
Lu Xici lowered his eyes and looked at Lu Beiye: "Aye, go and call Brother Yanzhou over."
The little boy crunched the empty milk carton and raised his head: "My legs are short," he blinked, "You have long legs, you go."
Lu Xici laughed in silence and flicked his brother's forehead with his finger...
After Lu Xici brought his men over, Lu Nange repeated his plan to Chi Yanzhou.
Chi Yanzhou lowered his eyes to look at her, twisted his knuckles lightly, and said in a calm voice: "Okay, these people can be trusted!"
Lu Beiye: "After my aunt passed away, the only one left was the Ji guy, who is not very reliable!"
Chi Yanzhou patted Lu Beiye's head: "Don't worry, brother will protect you!"
