Mi Qingying's right hand trembled slightly as she slowly raised it from her side, her fingers gently curling as if she had made a great decision.
But her left hand remained like a vise, gripping the bird feather tightly, her knuckles turning white from the force.
Jiang Wu noticed that her whole body was still trembling slightly, and his heart was filled with pity.
Having used her face many times before, Jiang Wu said gently, "Look at your acrophobia, it's quite severe. Let me feed you." With that, he picked up the food and leaned forward.
This time, Mi Qingying did not stubbornly turn her head away to refuse. Her lips trembled slightly, and after hesitating for a moment, she gently opened her mouth.
Drinking Coke, eating Snickers and chocolate.
The sweetness spread in her mouth, and the warm energy flowed through her body, dispelling some of the chill and her fear of heights.
The pre-apocalyptic scent gave her a sense of contentment.
She had almost forgotten when she last ate these things.
In the past six months, the relatively safe areas of Copper City have been thoroughly searched by the survivors, with every inch of land being repeatedly searched.
Finding these kinds of snacks is incredibly difficult.
Even if they managed to find a tiny bit of food six months ago, in order to survive, they would often have to exchange it for more urgently needed necessities such as food or medicine.
In this post-apocalyptic world of scarcity, things like chocolate, Snickers, and Coke, once readily available, have become rare and precious luxuries...
Jiang Wu watched Mi Qingying eat with relish, his eyes full of smiles.
He hadn't expected that Mi Qingying, who looked so slender, had such a big appetite; she devoured several Snickers bars and chocolates in the blink of an eye.
Seeing her still looking unsatisfied, Jiang Wu knew in his heart that this was obviously caused by long-term hunger.
He simply went and got a few more pieces of smoked mutated beast meat to feed Mi Qingying.
Mi Qingying's gaze was instantly drawn to the tempting pieces of smoked meat, a hint of longing and anticipation flashing in her eyes.
She swallowed unconsciously, her throat bobbing slightly.
More than a year has passed since the disaster, and meat has become so scarce in this copper city that it is almost extinct. For the survivors, it is more precious than snacks like chocolate.
At that moment, these pieces of smoked meat were like treasures that had fallen from the sky, making it hard for her to look away.
Jiang Wu smiled and held the smoked meat to her lips, encouraging her, "Eat it, don't be shy with me."
Mi Qingying hesitated for a moment, then took a small bite.
She had only chewed a few times when Mi Qingying's eyes were filled with shock.
The rich and mellow aroma of meat fills the mouth, the texture is firm and chewy, and every fiber seems to dance on the tip of the tongue, releasing an unparalleled deliciousness.
She was certain that she had never eaten such delicious meat in her life!
This taste was enough for her to remember for a lifetime!
Mi Qingying unconsciously finished a palm-sized piece of smoked meat, and she didn't eat a second piece.
Instead, she whispered, "Thank you." Though her voice was soft, it was full of sincerity.
Only then did she realize that, without her noticing, the enormous golden bird was flying very slowly.
It must have been this man's request.
Jiang Wu asked, "Are you feeling better?"
Mi Qingying nodded gently.
Jiang Wu smiled slightly and sat down behind Mi Qingying again.
Mi Qingying seemed to sense the presence behind her, which inexplicably calmed her down.
The giant bird was still flying slowly in the designated direction.
Despite her fear of heights, Mi Qingying kept her eyes fixed on the ground.
Suddenly, she pointed to a spot below and said coldly, "That's it."
Jiang Wu's spirits lifted, and he looked in the direction Mi Qingying was pointing.
It was a place covered by countless tall, mutated plants.
From the sky, it's almost impossible to tell that it's a mine entrance.
Jiang Wu finally noticed the anomaly when the giant bird lowered its altitude and began to circle slowly.
There are significantly more zombies here than in other places, and most importantly, there are quite a few M2 and T2 tanks here.
Those T2s, especially those that are 2.5 meters tall, stand out among a group of zombies.
Mi Qingying suddenly said, "I'm sure it's here, but when I came here, there weren't these zombies, let alone so many high-level zombies."
Jiang Wu asked, "When was the last time you came here?"
Mi Qingying thought for a moment, then hesitated and said, "It should have been about six months ago."
Jiang Wu said jokingly, "There shouldn't have been any mutated plants back then, right? You still remember this place?"
Mi Qingying thought Jiang Wu was doubting her, so she said seriously, "I have a strong sense of direction and a deep memory of terrain, so I can't be wrong."
After silently counting the high-level zombies she could see below, Mi Qingying fell silent.
After a long while, she said seriously, "I'm sorry, it looks like we can't get in."
Jiang Wu took out a walkie-talkie and asked, "Xiao Ran, how's it going on your end?"
"Honey, we've found another group of people, and we're just about to go down and question them," came the seductive voice of the Blood Woman from the other end of the walkie-talkie.
Jiang Wu smiled and said, "Okay, I've found quite a few T2s and M2s here. I'll go in and take a look first."
"Okay, honey, be careful."
"I want to run. There shouldn't be any zombies that can stop me. I'm in... "
After giving his instructions, Jiang Wu put away the walkie-talkie.
Then, Jiang Wu said to Mi Qingying, "Stay on the bird's back and don't run around. This giant bird is very intelligent and can understand some simple words."
Mi Qingying hesitated for two seconds, then asked softly, "Are you going down? There are advanced evolved zombies down there."
Jiang Wu remained calm as he gazed at the horde of zombies below.
It's just a few dozen M2s and a dozen or so T2s.
In addition, there was a large group of ordinary zombies.
For Jiang Wu at this moment, it meant nothing.
Jiang Wu smiled and said, "Alright, you wait here, I'll be right back."
Before Mi Qingying could react, he had already drawn his twin swords and leaped nimbly from the sky.
Mi Qingying was stunned, her mind went blank.
At that moment, her heart seemed to leap into her throat.
There are hundreds of zombies and dozens of advanced evolved zombies down there!
Wouldn't this jump be like a lamb entering a tiger's den?
Although they had only just met, Jiang Wu had left a very deep impression on her.
Whether it was killing that high-speed zombie to save her, his golden bird mount, or the food he just fed her.
They all left an incredibly deep impression on her.
Aside from her family, for the first time she wished for Jiang Wu to be safe and sound.
Even though she was still afraid of heights, Mi Qingying couldn't help but keep staring down.
However, what happened next left her speechless.
How could there be such a powerful evolved being?!
