Chapter 28 Chapter 28
Qiao Yanrou only turned her head to take a look for about two seconds, then immediately turned back. The sleeping bag wrapped around her made her feel quite safe, and she began to feel sleepy. The voices of the psychics lying in other places chatting could still be heard in her ears. The voices were not loud, but they sounded very hypnotic.
A loud "clang" woke Qiao Yanrou up. She straightened her black-framed glasses that had been tilted due to sleep, lifted the hat covering her head, and looked out the window of the convenience store. The sky was foggy, as if it was just daybreak.
The noise just now came from outside the door, and everyone in the convenience store was awakened, including Fu Chuqing who was next to her.
He frowned and half sat up, his sleepy look in the morning adding a touch of laziness.
The window opened out of nowhere, and Fu Chuqing's lightning ability came out of the window. In an instant, the zombies gathered outside were reduced to ashes.
Qiao Yanrou was quite surprised to see him use thunder-related abilities. She thought he would use mental abilities to drive away the zombies, but he killed them in the blink of an eye.
Thinking about it carefully, he might be annoyed that the zombies outside disturbed his sweet dream.
She looked at her hands and saw that they were yellow, so she half sat up with relief.
"Don't you want to sleep a little longer? We won't leave so soon." Liu Liu, who was sleeping next to her, only had his eyes and half of his head exposed, and it was obvious that he didn't want to get up yet.
Qiao Yanrou smiled and shook her head at her: "You should sleep a little longer."
"Here's the sleeping bag for you, keep it for yourself." After saying that, Liu Liu closed his eyes and fell asleep again.
Qiao Yanrou compressed the sleeping bag and put it into the storage space. The other psychics were sleeping, only she and Fu Chu were awake.
Naturally, she wouldn't try to get close to him. While they were still asleep, she went to the bathroom, used her supernatural powers to wash herself, and observed through the window to see if there were any zombies outside.
There weren't many zombies wandering around the convenience store, and most of them had been eliminated by them, so it looked empty outside.
Qiao Yanrou carefully moved the heavy objects piled at the door a little, went out to get some fresh air, and washed the three dirty off-road vehicles.
She deliberately avoided the pile of "ash" and walked to the other side to breathe the fresh air.
She carefully washed the car body with her supernatural power. The car was washed very clean by the water supernatural power. Qiao Yanrou felt that it was okay, so she retracted the supernatural power.
She turned around and saw a slender figure standing in front of the deserted convenience store. Fu Chuqing had been standing there for some time, looking at her with his cold eyes.
Qiao Yanrou raised her hand to adjust the frame of her glasses. This action was her way of hiding her discomfort. She felt uneasy when he stared at her.
She didn't walk into the convenience store because Fu Chuqing was staring at her. She pulled a chair over and sat down to bask in the sun under the rising morning sun.
Cooking and the like were not her responsibility, so she leisurely basked in the morning sun.
Fu Chuqing stared at her yellow face, which looked even yellower under the morning sun. He glanced away with a very indifferent expression and took out two people's worth of bread and milk from the storage space.
Qiao Yanrou was looking up with her eyes closed, enjoying the sunshine, when suddenly her vision darkened and she opened her eyes, not knowing why.
He saw his beautiful, slender hands holding two loaves of bread wrapped in a transparent bag and a can of milk and handed them to her.
"Take it and eat it first," he said.
Qiao Yanrou quickly stood up and took the bread and milk from him: "Thank you, Brother Fu."
Because she was a little flustered, she didn't notice that she touched his hand when she took it.
Fu Chu lowered his eyes and glanced at her yellow but slender hands, paused for a few seconds, and then slowly walked away.
Qiao Yanrou sat down again with milk and bread in her hands. She stared at the milk and bread and began to wonder if she had remembered it wrongly. Fu Chuqing didn't seem like someone who would be so ruthless and cold-blooded as to use zombies to attack the base in order to form a team and then subdue the strong ones who finally survived.
But she thought the name Fu Chuqing sounded nice at the time, so she was quite impressed by it, and he was the only one who could control zombies.
Could it be that she was overthinking it? There wasn't much of a plot involving Fu Chuqing in the original text. Perhaps Fu Chuqing really just happened to be passing by and saved Liu Liu and the others.
Qiao Yanrou ate bread and drank milk, her dark eyes full of confusion. If she wasn't disguised, it might be because of her appearance, but she was like this, so yellow, so the possibility of it being due to her appearance was zero.
That means he is a good person, not what she thought. What happened in Liu Liu Base may really be a coincidence.
However, since Fu Chuqing can control zombies, she has to pretend to be ignorant. No one knows the truth, and she cannot be sure of Fu Chuqing's true face.
At noon, a group of people had lunch at a convenience store and slowly got on the bus and set off.
Qiao Yanrou felt that they were in a very relaxed state. She wondered if it was because of Fu Chuqing that they were not worried about the road ahead at all.
This time she was arranged to sit in Fu Chuqing's car, with Fu Chuqing in the passenger seat and she in the back seat.
After the car drove away for a distance, some zombies heard the noise and rushed over, but were killed one by one by the psychics in the car and posed no threat to them.
Qiao Yanrou originally wanted to do her best, but she couldn't find any opportunity. The zombies that pounced on her fell to the ground, and she silently retracted her supernatural powers.
After spending a night and a morning together, several psychics who originally disliked her changed their views on her. They used to think she was a drag, but they didn't expect her to be so quiet, non-competitive, and very sensible.
As soon as they went out, a group of people noticed the clean car, but Qiao Yanrou just got into the car quietly without saying a word about it.
It's hard to dislike someone with such a personality, so people tend to be friendly to her.
At a certain library, two cars were parked one in front of the other.
They are Ji Yuanchen and Shen Luohan. They each lead the psychics in their own base so that when they find Qiao Yanrou, they can defeat each other and win her over.
Bai Xiaoyan originally wanted to come, but Shen Luohan ignored her, fearing that she would let Qiao Yanrou go without permission.
Ji Yuanchen came to the back door of the library. In a corner covered with weeds, there was a car with an unfamiliar body.
He confirmed that there was no one in the car. Ji Yuanchen closed the back door, and Shen Luohan walked over. The former strode up silently.
"Boss Shen, we searched the first floor, but there's no one there."
Shen Luohan raised his head and glanced upstairs: "Go search upstairs."
At this time, Ji Yuanchen was already searching on the second floor. After searching for her but not finding her, he quickly went up to the third floor. In a corner of the third floor, he saw familiar empty cans neatly stacked.
The longing for her and the deep love she hadn't seen for a long time gnawed at his soul, and he couldn't wait to hold her in his arms.
When he reached the rooftop and saw the vegetable field, Ji Yuanchen couldn't help but run to the iron gate and used his supernatural powers to open it.
He clenched his fists, suppressed his inner emotions, and walked slowly into the door.
It was very tidy inside, and there was a compressed mattress he gave her, but... there was no figure that he had been thinking about day and night.
Ji Yuanchen took a deep breath, thinking he had found her but there was still no sign of her. This ups and downs in emotions made him very upset, and he took a deep breath to relieve the discomfort in his heart.
"Fuck!" Shen Luohan didn't see Qiao Yanrou, and knew that she had run away again, so he punched the wall.
"Qiao Yanrou! Do you know that this is the end of the world!" Shen Luohan became more and more worried about her. He was afraid that she would be bitten by zombies, that she would have nothing to eat, and that she would be bullied. She was a beginner psychic, but she was running around in the end of the world, and she was braver than anyone else.
In a blink of an eye, Ji Yuanchen was holding a white slip of paper in his hand, and Shen Luohan walked forward.
Ji Yuanchen found this white note on the table. Judging from the handwriting, it was left by Qiao Yanrou. It said: A large number of zombies are coming in this direction, please be careful.
Chen Luo raised his hand with a cold and handsome face to snatch the note from his hand, but Ji Yuanchen dodged it.
The former stared at Ji Yuanchen gloomily: "This is what Yanrou left for me."
Ji Yuanchen put the note away, not giving him a chance to fight for it, and said lightly: "She left it for me. She said she loved me."
As the other members of the two teams walked to the iron gate, they heard them arguing about who the note Yanrou left was for.
Shen Luohan was so angry that he wanted to punch her, but reason told him that it was more important to find Qiao Yanrou.
"If you hadn't seduced her, how could Yanrou be with you?" He said this coldly, strode out of the iron gate and walked towards the stairs.
Ji Yuanchen closed the iron gate and retorted in an infuriating tone, "What's the problem? The man she loves most is me."
Shen Luohan suddenly stopped, turned around and was about to go over and beat him up, but was skillfully stopped by several teammates nearby.
"Boss Shen, it's important to find Yanrou now."
"Yeah, don't start arguing or fighting as soon as you go out. If both of you get hurt, how can you go find Yanrou?"
"Yeah, Boss, calm down, everyone."
The teammates on both sides were very helpless. Every day when they went out to find someone, they would quarrel constantly. In order to compete for who Yanrou loved more, they often quarreled to the point of fighting.
Ji Yuanchen used his supernatural powers to close the iron door and window to prevent them from being destroyed by the large number of zombies that were pouring in.
He looked at the lush weeds and trees in the distance, frowning. Where...have you been again?
The two teams searched the area twice but found nothing.
Ji Yuanchen and Shen Luohan guessed that someone must have passed by and told Qiao Yanrou that a large number of zombies would be coming, and Qiao Yanrou probably followed that group of people.
Although it had rained, the roads near the library were all cement roads. Once the weather dried up, the road surface dried up and it was impossible to tell which direction to leave.
They could only discuss it and go in two directions to search, and for the time being, they decided to find Yanrou first.
The abandoned high-rise buildings still look conspicuous and magnificent from a distance, but they are accompanied by wild grass and trees, which makes them look very fragmented at first glance, like the world in a game.
Qiao Yanrou looked out the car window. She didn't know why these towering buildings gave her a sense of danger, but... she set her eyes on Fu Chuqing in the passenger seat. He could even control intelligent zombies, so following him might not be dangerous anymore.
Three off-road vehicles crossed the deserted road and stopped in front of a building that towered into the clouds. There were fewer zombies here than they had imagined, only a few.
Qiao Yanrou really felt something was wrong. It didn’t look like there were any people with superpowers living here. There were so many buildings around, so why were there so few zombies?
Fu Chuqing seemed to have noticed something was wrong as well. He glanced at the zombie remains on the ground through his lens and said in a deep voice, "There are not only zombies here. Let's leave after we get out of the supermarket."
The other psychics were very vigilant, and would use their psychic powers to strike hard at the slightest sign of trouble.
Qiao Yanrou followed Fu Chuqing closely. She didn't want to follow Liu Liu for fear that Liu Liu would be so busy saving her that she would end up getting Liu Liu into trouble.
She knew very well how strong Fu Chuqing was. As long as she stayed by his side, he would be able to protect her without her having to do anything deliberate, because no zombie could get close to him.
The supermarket not far away is not big, only several times larger than a convenience store.
Fu Chuqing led the team and did not allow them to go their separate ways. Instead, a group of people walked along the road in the supermarket to buy food inside.
The cool sunlight shines into the supermarket, but the light it provides is cold and without a trace of warmth.
Qiao Yanrou spread the water power all over her body, hoping it would serve as a defense. She followed Fu Chuqing around the supermarket and found that there was still a lot of food here.
Seeing this, she followed Fu Chuqing even more closely. Almost all supermarkets in the apocalypse were emptied out. Food was piled up on the shelves, but no one took any of it. This meant that there were some powerful things nearby.
“There’s still so much food here?”
"Something's not right. There aren't many zombies on the ground in this supermarket." All that appeared were the remains of zombies.
The other psychics were all worried, as this place looked weird no matter how they looked at it.
As they were about to walk out of the supermarket, Qiao Yanrou, who was behind Fu Chuqing, breathed a sigh of relief. Before she could catch her breath, a tiger roar that shook the earth and sky scared her half to death.
Outside the supermarket, a giant mutant tiger blocked their way. The tiger's warning growl echoed in the hearts of the group. Except for Fu Chuqing, everyone else instinctively stepped back, afraid of the giant tiger.
Qiao Yanrou wanted to retreat, but she knew that it was safest to follow Fu Chuqing, although she didn't know whether the mental system could control the mutated giant tiger in front of her.
The giant tiger drooled at them and slowly leaned down, making a move as if it was about to attack.
Qiao Yanrou was so frightened that she dared not move, fearing that the giant tiger would pounce on her if she moved.
"Boss Fu, what should we do?"
Among them, some people with special abilities asked Fu Chuqing with stiff bodies and voices. They all became weak in front of the giant tiger.
How could they be sure of defeating the giant tiger before them? A single slap from it could shatter them to pieces, not to mention it was a mutant tiger. Their abilities wouldn't likely do much damage to it.
Qiao Yanrou was in a very nervous state. The giant tiger did not give them any time to negotiate and suddenly leaped towards them with its huge body.
Her water ability attacked the giant tiger like crazy, and her body instinctively ran to the side.
The giant tiger roared to the sky and pounced straight towards Qiao Yanrou. Qiao Yanrou had never run so fast in her life and quickly rushed into the gap between the buildings.
Her body happened to fit through, and her hat and the loose rubber band fell to the ground, and her black hair spread out like a waterfall on her thin shoulders.
She had just gotten stuck in the gap a second ago and yelled to Liu Liu and the others, "Run!"
It seemed even Fu Chuqing couldn't control this mutated tiger. Qiao Yanrou was shaking with panic. Was she going to die again?* Was this tiger going to swallow her whole or...
"Yanrou, Yanrou! What should we do! Save her!" Liu Liu attacked the giant tiger anxiously while crying.
"Lure it here first."
One of the people with special abilities thought quickly and lured the giant tiger to another place first.
But no matter how they attacked, the giant tiger remained stuck to Qiao Yanrou.
Fu Chuqing said to the group of people: "You get in the car first."
"Boss Fu..."
A group of people with special abilities refused to get on the car. Although they did not have deep feelings for Qiao Yanrou, she remembered to tell them to run away in such a dangerous situation. For this reason, they could not abandon her and hide in the car.
Fu Chu raised his hand and gently pushed his glasses, glancing at them sharply.
So... a group of psychics ran into the car. Liu Liu refused to get in and wanted to go with them to rescue Qiao Yanrou. He was pulled in by two psychics. If he angered Boss Fu, he would be in trouble.
On the other side, the giant tiger saw her hiding in the gap and slammed the wall in frustration.
Qiao Yanrou felt the wall shaking constantly in the gap, and she condensed her water power and tried her best to attack the giant tiger, but this level of damage was almost like tickling it.
The next moment, her eyes became bright, the oppressive feeling of being sandwiched between the walls disappeared instantly, and the huge tiger's mouth gradually became clear in her dilated pupils.
Qiao Yanrou's mind was blank and she closed her eyes tightly. The expected pain did not appear on her body.
She opened her eyes tremblingly, only to see that the huge tiger's mouth had closed at some point, and the thunder cage enveloped the giant tiger. The tiger was no longer as ferocious as before, and its pair of tiger eyes stared blankly at Qiao Yanrou.
Qiao Yanrou held her breath and looked at the giant tiger nervously. Next to the giant tiger stood a slender figure.
Fu Chuqing had a handsome and gentle face, and he looked at her frightened expression calmly.
"Get in the car." His voice was as cold as his eyes.
Qiao Yanrou didn't dare to hesitate for even a second, and her slender figure ran wildly towards the car in front.
Fu Chuqing did not stay. When she ran to the car, he followed her with big strides. Her dropped hat and rubber band were at her feet. He bent down and picked them up in his hands.
The mutant giant tiger remained motionless, as if it was controlled by something.
Liu Liu opened the car door, reached out, took Qiao Yanrou's hand and quickly pulled her into the car.
The front passenger door was opened, and Fu Chuqing calmly sat in the passenger seat with his tall and straight figure.
The car was driving very fast. Everyone wanted to leave this place as soon as possible. Except for Fu Chuqing, everyone was afraid that the mutant giant tiger would catch up.
"Yan Rou, are you injured?" Liu Liu hurriedly checked whether Yan Rou was injured by the giant tiger. She almost thought that Yan Rou would... die in the tiger's mouth.
Qiao Yanrou shook her head at her and said, "Fortunately, Boss Fu saved me." She was almost eaten by the mutant tiger.
Her heart was still beating like a drum, but she deftly took out a cutting board from the storage space and wrote "! There is a mutant tiger in the building! Be careful!" on both sides of the cutting board with a red marker in very eye-catching fonts.
Qiao Yanrou did not ask them to stop the car. Instead, when passing a road sign, she used her supernatural power to pierce through the iron sheet, and then used her supernatural power to firmly stick the chopping board in the middle, revealing red fonts on both sides, which could be seen clearly at a glance.
She looked again and again at the rear of the car, making sure it was firmly locked before collapsing in the car.
The psychics in the three off-road vehicles saw her actions, and Liu Liu became more convinced that she had not helped the wrong person.
