Chapter 107 The World-weary Man's Dark Moonlight Girlfriend 10
On the fifth day of the apocalypse, a torrential rain brought a touch of coolness to the scorching summer heat, and people fantasized that the disaster was finally over.
But when they woke up, they found an even greater disaster waiting for them. After being drenched in rain, the zombies were purified and their walking speed increased visibly.
The heavy rain continued, and Shen Xinran and Ji Nanqing were trapped in a service area at a highway intersection.
Trapped with them were countless ordinary people, their eyes hollow and weary, as if devoid of all light. They dared not rest, their eyes sunken deep, as if enveloped in the thick darkness.
The increasingly heavy rain made a mother holding her child in the crowd burst into tears: "This world has no way for ordinary people like us to survive. My child is only three years old. He hasn't had the chance to see the world properly..."
Shen Xinran and Ji Nanqing sat close together. She glanced at Qiu Yan, who had been unconscious since the rain started, and sighed, "I don't know when this rain will stop."
Ji Nanqing's hand was on Shen Xinran's back, stroking it gently, like stroking a cat. His expression was indifferent, and his tone was a little cold. "It's almost there."
Shen Xinran didn't care, or rather, she didn't dare to care. Because she noticed that Ji Nanqing's face had been tense since the rain. Shen Xinran thought that as long as Ji Nanqing didn't go crazy, he could touch her if he wanted, just as if he was helping her to smooth her back.
Since it started raining, the temperature has been getting lower and lower. Shen Xinran finally accepted the long down jacket that Ji Nanqing forced her to wear because it was really warm.
She yawned and wanted to sleep. At first, she leaned on Ji Nanqing's shoulder, but later she felt uncomfortable and fell directly into Ji Nanqing's arms.
Just as she was dozing off, a woman's scream suddenly erupted from the crowd, "Ah, there are zombies!"
Shen Xinran opened her eyes and wanted to look up, but Ji Nanqing pressed her head down and said lazily, "It's okay, go back to sleep!"
Shen Xinran's heart was broken. The zombies are here, and you're still sleeping. But since Ji Nanqing said so, she decided to continue sleeping!
Ji Nanqing closed his eyes and moved his fingers slightly. The zombies frightened by the crowd ran outside uncontrollably. With a "bang", blood splattered everywhere and flesh and bones turned into mud.
This scene frightened many people, but not Shen Xinran who had fallen asleep again...
The rain didn't stop until the afternoon. Qiu Yan had been lying on the ground the entire time. When he woke up, he shuddered. "Oh my god, why is it so cold all of a sudden?"
He looked up and saw that Shen Xinran was wearing a long down jacket, wrapping herself tightly, and it seemed that she was not cold at all.
Ji Nanqing was wearing another down jacket of Shen Xinran's, which surprisingly didn't look feminine at all. The two of them even hugged each other to rest.
Qiu Yan glanced at the short-sleeved shirt on his body and immediately felt depressed. These two people didn't know how to feel sorry for him, a single dog. They could at least put a towel on him!
Ji Nanqing finally opened his eyes and glanced at Qiu Yan. "Since you're awake, let's hurry up and leave. We'll try to find a place to stay tonight."
Qiu Yan nodded and got in the car as quickly as possible. What a horrible weather! It was sunny yesterday, but today it was freezing cold. It seemed like he had to prepare some winter clothes.
…
The three of them drove forward until they came to a fork in the road. They got off the highway and stopped in front of a village.
At the entrance of the village stands a huge old locust tree with a thick trunk, lush branches and leaves. Its bark is covered with cracks, like an old painting that has weathered the wind and rain.
A vine hangs quietly, as if the mission given by time is to protect this ancient tree. The roots of the vine are deeply rooted in the trunk of the old locust tree, intertwined with each other.
The village is shrouded in fog, like a ghost. The houses inside are built with rough stones, looking dilapidated and old.
As the car drove into the village, Shen Xinran felt uneasy. She frowned and said, "This village is so big, it's okay if there are no people, but why are there not even any zombies?"
Ji Nanqing parked the car in a yard closest to the old locust tree and said in a deep voice, "It's okay, we'll just rest outside and leave early tomorrow morning."
The three of them had just gotten out of the car when two more cars drove over at the intersection. Shen Xinran took a look and saw that the cars were full of people, all young and middle-aged people.
The square-faced man driving the car noticed her gaze and whistled at her, saying with a smile, "Hey, little beauty, aren't you afraid to go in? Do you want us to take you?"
Although the square-faced man's tone was off-key, Shen Xinran didn't sense any ill will from him, so she shook her head at him and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but it's okay."
After Shen Xinran finished speaking, he took his luggage and followed Ji Nanqing into the yard. The two cars then drove into the village and disappeared into the thick fog.
Qiu Yan was wearing three shirts and four pairs of shorts. He took out all the clothes he could wear, but even so, he was still shivering with cold.
After he put down his luggage, he smiled at Shen Xinran and said, "Maybe this place has been cleared out by other psychics. Since we're here, let's go find some supplies."
Chen Xinran glanced at Qiu Yan and said, "The zombies have been cleared out by other psychics. Will they leave the supplies for you?"
Qiu Yan choked, then instantly realized that this was true. But the wind was making him feel very cold, so he searched his yard and actually found a military coat.
After putting on his military coat, he instantly felt warmer, and he no longer had the heart to go out and look for supplies. Just like Shen Xinran said, the zombies have been cleared out, will there be any supplies left for them!
About an hour later, a man suddenly shouted in the village: "There are too many zombies, let's retreat!"
Qiu Yan was curious, so he quietly opened the door a crack and looked outside. He was instantly shocked by the scene outside. "Oh my god, did they disturb the zombie nest?"
Shen Xinran also came over to take a look, and saw that the group of men were desperately running towards the village entrance, and behind them was a large group of zombies, estimated to be more than two hundred.
The group of men ran and resisted at the same time, and for a moment there was golden light and a deep sea of suffering.
Only then did Shen Xinran realize that the reason these men were so confident was because six out of ten of them were people with special abilities.
The remaining four men were not weak either. They picked up their swords and started killing indiscriminately.
The psychics are led by a square-faced man, a fire-type psychic who can burn out raging flames and devour zombies.
With the help of a wind-type mutant, he can clear out a large number of zombies every time he releases a burst of energy.
But the number of zombies was too large, and they were still in a semi-surrounded state.
