Chapter 165 Huddled Together
Xiao Xun stood up and walked to the edge of the tree house. Looking down, the zombies under the tree saw him and reached out frantically, trying to pull him down from the tree house, but the tree house was very high and their hands could not reach it.
Xiao Xun thought that this was not a solution. If these zombies didn't leave, they would be trapped up there and die of starvation and thirst.
He can hold on for ten days or half a month, but he can't let Ye Li and Xixi suffer.
Xiao Xun took out the necklace hanging around his neck from his T-shirt. Hanging on the necklace was his ID card. Every person in the Holy City had such an ID card.
His ID card is different from others. There is a switch on the back. After pressing the switch, the alarm installed in the ID card will be activated, transmitting the alarm and his location coordinates to the main urban area of the holy city.
As the Air Force Commander of the main urban area, Chongyi will immediately dispatch troops and rush to his position as quickly as possible.
This is the life-saving talisman of the Lord of the Holy City.
But if he triggers this identity card, it means that his days outside the Holy City will end. The laws of the Holy City do not allow him to be so willful, and the major families will not allow the Holy City to have such an irresponsible city lord.
"Uncle." Xixi came over, tugged at the corner of Xiao Xun's clothes, raised her little face and said, "I'm so thirsty."
It was raining outside, and the rainwater kept leaking into the tree house through the broken roof.
Xiao Xun looked around and found no container that could hold water.
There was no other way, Xiao Xun could only catch the rain with his hands. He washed his hands first, then put his hands together and patiently caught the dripping raindrops.
It took a long time before he finally filled up the handful.
Xiao Xun squatted down cautiously and called Xixi, "Come over and drink."
"Okay." Xixi lifted her hair with her hand and lowered her head to drink the water in Xiao Xun's palm. The water in Xiao Xun's palm disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Would you like to drink more?" Xiao Xun asked.
Xixi nodded: "I want more."
Xiao Xun continued to collect rainwater. After it was full, Xixi drank it again, and only then did he feel satisfied.
Xixi poked her little head under the tree house and asked, "Uncle, how are we going to get out? My brothers and the others will be worried if we don't go back."
"Once the rain stops, they will leave." Xiao Xun coaxed Xixi.
"Really?"
"Of course it's true."
Xixi frowned, thought for a moment and smiled, "I believe in uncle."
It was getting dark, the rain was getting heavier, and the wind in the forest was also strong, blowing so hard that it seemed to want to blow down Xiao Xun and his friends' dilapidated house.
Ye Li also woke up. Her condition was better and she was not as dizzy as before.
Xiao Xun handed her the water and said, "Have some water."
His gaze was sincere and concerned, his obsidian eyes simply sucking you in.
"Thank you." Ye Li smiled, then lowered his head and drank all the water in his palm.
Ye Li's soft lips touched his palm, and Xiao Xun felt his heart go soft.
"Would you like to drink some more?" Xiao Xun asked again.
"Okay, thank you."
The tree house had no door, no windows, and half of the roof was broken.
The strong wind kept blowing in, making people shiver even though it was summer, not to mention that the wind brought with it a stream of rain, soaking people like a drowned rat.
They had to sit in the corner.
Ye Li held Xixi in his arms and covered her with a large coat so that she would not get wet. The two of them leaned against each other and could keep a little warmth.
Poor Xiao Xun, he was just wearing a T-shirt and curled up to keep warm.
