But the skyline was still burning orange, and the setting sun was like overturned molten gold, dyeing the entire sky blood-red.
Everyone slumped on the crooked picnic chairs, sipping their drinks and looking at the dusk in silence.
When it was almost completely dark, the sound of a car was heard.
Everyone tensed up instantly and stood up. Lu Nange closed his eyes and his mental power spread out like ripples.
"One car." She opened her eyes: "One SUV, four ordinary cars, and nineteen living people."
Last time at the farm gate, she mentioned that her wind power could sense the surrounding environment.
No one was suspicious.
...
"Boss!" The co-pilot pointed to the front right, "There's a gas station over there. Should we stay here overnight?"
A woman's charming laughter came from the back seat, and was immediately interrupted by an impatient "tsk".
The car window was rolled down, and the cigarette butt drew a dark red arc.
"Boss, the lights are on?" The co-pilot narrowed his eyes: "It looks like someone is there."
The speed of the entire convoy slowed down significantly.
The driver asked, "Boss, why don't we go and have a look? We can't camp out in the wilderness. Who knows what might pop up!"
The man in the back seat finally opened his eyes and pushed away the woman who was clinging to him.
"What are you arguing about?" His voice was not loud, but it instantly made the whole car quiet: "Have you ever seen other survivors? Are you so panicked when you see a living person?"
He adjusted his cuffs slowly and said, "If there's money to be made, grab it. If there's nothing to be made, sleep alone. This world..."
Suddenly he sneered: "This place is not theirs. We are all staying overnight. How can we distinguish between high and low?"
The sound of the engines of several cars gradually died down, and they were lined up neatly in front of the gas station.
The car lights were not turned off.
Before the other party stopped the car, Lu Nange had already packed all the supplies he could into his backpack, and the rest were just some concealed equipment for the night.
More than a dozen figures got off the bus one after another and stood loosely in front of the bus.
When the door of the SUV in the middle opened, everyone immediately bowed and said, "Boss."
The man wearing gold-rimmed glasses slowly got out of the car and grabbed the slender wrist that was stretched out from inside the car with his backhand.
The woman staggered as he pulled her to his side, her high heels making crisp sounds on the asphalt road.
"Boss," the man in the co-pilot seat leaned forward, his nose flaring, "This smell... they must have meat and food."
The man with glasses' eyes flashed behind the lenses, and he led the woman forward.
Under the lights of the gas station, Chi Yanzhou stood alone and quietly.
Lu Nange, Lu Beiye, Gu Wan and Wen Qing sat in the shadows behind them.
The man with glasses looked at Chi Yanzhou and the others - clean faces, neat clothes, and weapons on their waists.
His footsteps paused imperceptibly.
It’s been such a long time since the end of the world. Anyone who can still maintain this state is either a stubborn person or a lunatic.
"My dear brothers." The man with glasses released his grip on the woman's hand and put on a hypocritical smile.
The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes revealed a calculation: "It's not easy to live in this world. We just need a place to rest and leave at dawn."
Chi Yanzhou and Lu Xici exchanged glances.
After a short silence, Chi Yanzhou tapped the gun handle at his waist twice with his fingertips: "The east side belongs to you."
He raised his eyes, and the flickering lights cast a dangerous shadow in his dark eyes: "If you cross the line..."
The tail sound dissipated in the air...
The man with glasses adjusted his glasses frame and laughed dryly: "Don't worry, I definitely won't. Thank you for the convenience, little brother."
He turned around and shouted to the younger brother behind him: "Pack up quickly, don't disturb others' rest!"
"Yes, Boss."
The man in the passenger seat came forward unwillingly and made a throat-cutting gesture with his hand at his neck.
Lowering his voice, he said, "Boss, after they fall asleep...?"
The man with glasses kicked him hard on the knee and cursed in a low voice: "You have eyes to vent your anger?
Look at what he is wearing. How many people have you seen so clean? There is not even a wound on his body. Look at his weapons!"
He stole a glance at the guns on Chi Yanzhou and the others' waists: "If you want to die, don't drag me down with you!"
Another scarred man said: "Boss, don't we have super powers? Why are we afraid of them?"
The man with glasses grabbed the scarred man's neck and said, "Do you know whether I have it or not? If you want to die, do it yourself."
