Chapter 78 Zombie King vs Humans (33)
Qi Chengzhi also looked at him, and the two of them stared at each other. The two siblings were not there, and the air became extremely quiet for a moment.
Xu Jinxiao scratched his head and asked, "Captain Qi, are we still going to get the supplies from that mall?"
Qi Chengzhi shook his head and said, "No, it's too dangerous."
"Oh, okay."
Xu Jinxiao was just asking casually. Even if his wife said she wanted to get it, he would definitely go there in advance and resolutely prevent the supplies from falling into the hands of certain people.
Xu Jinxiao walked over and sat next to Qi Chengzhi, "Captain, what time is it now?"
Qi Chengzhi raised his hand and looked at it, then said softly, "Five o'clock. Isn't there anyone who can check the time? I'll get you a watch. There's no other pager available at the moment. I'll give it to you when we get back to the base."
Xu Jinxiao nodded repeatedly, with the corners of his mouth raised, "Okay, thank you, Captain."
Seeing Qi Chengzhi walk out, Xu Jinxiao crossed his legs boredly.
Thinking of the countless treasures on the counter, his heart was eager to move.
[Threadball, is there no other way to earn points?]
【Da-me~】
Upon hearing this, Xu Jinxiao immediately collapsed on the sofa, with a bitter look on his face. [This is too difficult!]
Qi Chengzhi came back quickly and handed Xu Jinxiao a silver-white metal watch.
Xu Jinxiao took it and admired it first, then put it on his wrist and praised Qi Chengzhi with a smile:
"Captain, the watch you gave me is very nice."
Qi Chengzhi's eyebrows curved, and a soft look flashed in his eyes, "I'm glad you like it. This is what I used before."
Xu Jinxiao was stunned at first, and then his mood was like fireworks exploding, and joy instantly filled his heart.
He smiled happily with a slightly silly smile and tilted his head, "I like it even more!"
When Qi Chengzhi heard his words, his heart skipped a beat. Then, a dense tingling sensation came from the bottom of his heart, quickly spread throughout his body, and quickly dissipated.
He suddenly smiled, his eyes flashing with light, as if a sky full of stars fell into his eyes.
"As long as you like it."
Then the two began to look at each other affectionately. The rain was pouring outside the window, and the room seemed to be filled with pink bubbles.
Crunch
The sound of a door opening interrupted the warm atmosphere between the two. Xu Jinxiao turned around unhappily, only to see Shen Xing waving his arms and rushing towards him.
"Big brother, you finally finished your bath! Come and play with me!"
Xu Jinxiao sighed helplessly and was pulled into the room by him. Of course, Xu Jinxiao also brought Qi Chengzhi with him.
How could he let his wife be out there all alone? It's impossible!
So, Xu Jinxiao and a few others started playing poker until the light completely disappeared.
Xu Jinxiao looked and saw that it was already seven o'clock in the evening.
After having dinner with the two siblings and returning to the room, it was almost eight o'clock.
Xu Jinxiao stood in front of the window, his eyes fixed on the outside. [Thread ball, drinking that potion won't hurt, right?]
[No, it's sweet and delicious~]
The cute mechanical sound of the ball of string had a very soothing effect. Xu Jinxiao felt relieved and quietly walked to the bathroom.
He took out a potion from the space, and the dark green potion glowed eerily under the candlelight.
I can’t take it anymore. The more I watch, the less I dare to drink. Mad, if I’m a man, I’ll just drink it in one go!
Xu Jinxiao took one last look, hardened his heart, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Burp~"
He savored it and found it was indeed sweet. The system had not deceived him.
But...how do you activate the superpowers?
He was just about to ask the system when a sharp pain swept through his body, especially his head, causing him to have a splitting headache.
He immediately hugged his head tightly with both hands, and then a strong heat wave hit him. The scorching temperature burned his body, and his whole body was covered with cracks and blood marks, which was very horrifying.
[Host, hold on! This is what you must go through before you can activate your superpowers all at once!]
Xu Jinxiao knew the pain the moment it came, and he could only grit his teeth and endure it.
[Wuwuwu~ Host, can you still hold on? ]
Xianqiu felt the pain Xu Jinxiao was in and was so anxious that he almost cried.
Xu Jinxiao struggled to retort, "So what if I can't hold on?"
[Host, please hold on. Once I upgrade, I'll be able to help you block out the pain!]
The ball of thread flitted around in his mind frantically, then finally stopped, brought up the screen, and sent a request.
Xu Jinxiao finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard its words. After a while, the pain faded away, leaving only a burning sensation.
He quickly took off his clothes and turned on the shower. The cold water washed over his body, bringing waves of coolness.
"call--"
Xu Jinxiao felt much more comfortable and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Thread ball, how long will it take to recover?"
【Half an hour, so quick! 】
"Didn't you say it wouldn't hurt?"
[It really doesn't hurt after drinking it. You're feeling pain because you've awakened your superpowers!]
Xu Jinxiao: ...
He took a deep breath, so angry that he didn't know what to say. He simply kept silent, closed his eyes quietly, and let the cold water rush over him.
"Dong Dong Dong"
Suddenly there was a rapid knock on the door from outside, Xu Jinxiao looked over hurriedly,
"who?"
"It's me, you're in there? That makes me feel relieved. Didn't you just take a shower this afternoon?"
Qi Cheng's hand dropped, and his heart also dropped. He listened to the sound of water inside the door with confusion.
"Ah... well... I am..."
Xu Jinxiao was just trying to come up with an excuse when he started scratching his head and feeling conflicted.
"Forget it. If you take a shower with the water here, remember to come out and disinfect it."
Qi Chengzhi interrupted him, looked at the door in front of him seriously, and whispered, "I'm glad you're okay."
After saying that, he left on his own.
Xu Jinxiao, who was taking a shower, had excellent hearing and naturally heard Qi Chengzhi's last sentence.
A gentle smile slowly appeared on his face, and his dark pupils under his hair were filled with tenderness and affection.
About ten minutes later, the knock on the door sounded again.
"Are you still not feeling well? You'll catch a cold if you shower for too long."
Qi Chengzhi's cold voice could not hide his worry, and he reminded the people inside the door.
Xu Jinxiao felt his body still burning with heat, and politely declined, making up a reason.
"It's okay, Captain Qi. I'm perfectly healthy. I've loved taking showers since I was a kid. Don't worry, I'll be out in a while."
Qi Chengzhi hesitated for a moment, then hesitantly believed it, "Okay."
Ten minutes passed quickly. Although Qi Chengzhi was reading a book, his attention was always on his watch.
He frowned, trying hard to suppress the desire to knock on the door.
He was not a person who liked to meddle in other people's affairs, and he would not rush to do so after being rejected, but he broke down in front of Xu Jinxiao.
So he started to hesitate and fidget again.
Xu Jinxiao was taking a shower in the bathroom and soon felt his burning body temperature slowly dropping. Then he clearly felt a close connection with something in the air.
He looked at it carefully and it seemed to be dotted green elements.
The air flow around him changed slightly, and green elements continued to penetrate into his body. His body was gradually filled with energy, as if an empty teapot was being filled with hot water.
This novel feeling made him open his eyes wide immediately. He let the green element merge into his body and squinted comfortably.
