After leaving the research institute, the car headed back towards Jiuqi Mountain. After a day's journey, the group was tired and wanted to find a place to rest.
Passing by a small gas station, they saw some obstacles set up by people. The group thought it was a good place, figuring there were definitely no zombies inside.
As for people? They're nothing to be afraid of!
"Cherish your time, take out what's on your side. We might not be able to get in without supplies." Xie Yixue knew all too well when it was time to barter, so she asked the person closest to the supplies on the vehicle to take them.
"Mmm," Yan Xishi responded sweetly, giving the people in the other car goosebumps.
"Dude, my sister doesn't like your type. She prefers the type that was just buried."
Xie Nijing, sitting in the passenger seat, spoke up not out of kindness, but because she couldn't stand his delicate and fragile persona.
People can change!
Yan Xishi spoke casually, but her eyes, fixed on the beautiful figure reflected in the windshield, revealed an unyielding deep affection.
Xie Ming, who had peeked into his memories: Damn! Another devoted male supporting character who falls in love with a vicious female supporting character from campus to the workplace!
He couldn't help but flip through the Heavenly Dao's memories to see if this was indeed a fictional world, but it was clearly not.
Indeed, art imitates life!
However, after learning about Yan Xishi's past, he was still quite satisfied with this male supporting character.
People work hard day and night to be worthy of the person they like, and even if they don't get the person, they hope to stand on equal footing with them in the future.
Xie Ming, who had just been fed a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), thought: This world is so unfriendly!
The car stopped in front of the gas station without honking, but people inside still noticed it. Soon, someone came out.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Open the door!" a man shouted from outside the car.
Yan Xishi yanked open the car door and stared coldly at the skinny man in front of her.
The man glanced at the four people in the front seat, spat on the ground, and began spewing profanities: "Oh! A threesome! Ah! And one of them is a minor! You've got some skills, bro!"
"Slap! Slap!"
Before the man knew what was happening, two handprints appeared on his face. He immediately tried to say something more, but a dark gun barrel was pressed against his forehead.
After slapping him a few times, Yan Xishi pulled out a gun from somewhere and tilted her head, waiting for the man to continue "beeping".
The man instantly understood his meaning: either shut up or shut up!
"Gentlemen, we were blind to your greatness."
Upon discovering the presence of firearms, a neatly dressed man immediately stepped out from the group of hooligans.
"Stay overnight, and you'll get so many supplies!"
Seeing that everyone at the gas station seemed normal, Xie Yixue still asked a question.
"Two boxes of instant noodles or 50 jin (25 catties) of rice"
Before the apocalypse, these items would have cost around 100 yuan, but now they are considered good items. The price is neither cheap nor expensive, and Xie Yixue readily agreed.
They spent the night at the gas station, and the next day, as they were about to leave, a man with slicked-back hair in a gray suit approached them.
Xie Ming smiled; it was an old acquaintance.
The young man, Zhou Cheng, was someone who constantly made his presence felt by the two sisters in his past life; he was one of the earliest people they saved.
Normally, one should be grateful to their savior, but unfortunately, human greed knows no bounds.
After joining the sisters' team, he always felt that the two women didn't deserve such high prestige.
These were treatments that only men should receive. So, this person started finding fault with everything in the team.
The team was already unstable, and with troublemakers causing trouble every day, Zhou Cheng was thriving.
With the system watching them closely, the two sisters had no choice but to compromise time and time again.
Zhou Cheng gradually gained the support of many people in the team.
After Bai Yiyi appeared, Zhou Cheng began to exploit the two sisters even more ruthlessly.
Xie Ming despises people like this the most.
"Knock knock knock~"
Zhou Cheng knocked on Xie Ming's seat. He rolled down the car window, and the man's face was right inside the car.
"Hello, my name is Zhou Cheng." Zhou Cheng's face was full of flattery, but his eyes still couldn't help but wander inside.
Xie Ming sneered and poked two fingers straight at his eyes.
"Ah~" Zhou Cheng was caught off guard by Xie Ming's attack and took a few steps back, sitting down on the ground.
"If you keep looking around like that, I'll dig it out."
Xie Yixue didn't think there was anything wrong with her younger brother's domineering attitude. Knowing that he wanted to play, she turned off the engine, leaned back in her seat, and closed her eyes to rest. Yan Xishi thoughtfully covered her with the thin blanket she was wearing.
"You! You..."
Zhou Cheng, unwilling to swallow his anger, got up and climbed onto the front of the car, starting to act spoiled.
"You want us to run you over?" Xie Nijing also crawled out to join in the fun.
Zhou Cheng was a little embarrassed and just stared blankly at the "bad guy" in the car.
"Old Zhou, what's wrong?" A middle-aged woman with messy hair came running over.
Judging from how he addresses him, you can tell they have a close relationship. But who's in his late twenties and who's almost forty? The forty-something calls him Old Zhou. This Zhou Cheng is truly no ordinary person. No wonder he's still wearing a suit.
"It's nothing!" Zhou Cheng said through gritted teeth, staring at the person in the car with embarrassment and anger.
Can a woman stand up for herself when her man is being bullied?
"You little brat, I wonder which wild man your grandma slept with to produce this slut like your mother..."
Before the woman could continue speaking, Xie Ming jumped out of the car window and landed on the ground.
He stepped forward and slapped her repeatedly, knocking out five or six of her teeth.
He stopped, and the woman immediately fainted. Zhou Cheng, who had already stood up, choked and stammered, "I don't know her... she... she..."
