Li Xiao realized that Cheng Shaolin was teasing her, and her face immediately felt hot.
"Why didn't you leave them a way out?"
Cheng Shaolin chuckled, "Look, your superpower is supportive, isn't it?"
Li Xiao nodded.
"If you still possess offensive abilities, then what am I for? To follow you around and pick up the scraps? Are you trying to protect me?"
After saying that, she found the scene hilarious and couldn't help but laugh out loud. "You were all over the place, doing all the walking without needing anyone's help. And me? I was just following behind, hands in my pockets, swaggering along." She said this while looking quietly at Li Xiao.
Looking at Cheng Shaolin's teasing gaze, Li Xiao thought of the scene and couldn't help but smile.
"Isn't that a good thing?" Li Xiao suppressed a laugh and glanced at Cheng Shaolin.
Cheng Shaolin stroked his chin, suppressing a laugh, and said, "If you think that's a good thing, then I'm just a gigolo."
Upon hearing the words "pretty boy," Li Xiao couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Since you have such great superpowers, don't covet other people's superpowers. Leave a path for others to walk on, and leave me something to do."
Looking into Cheng Shaolin's deep, reserved yet domineering eyes, Li Xiao's eyes flickered slightly.
"Isn't it good that I'll protect you?"
Their eyes met, and an intoxicatingly sweet atmosphere filled the air with their breath, their gazes as tender as silk...
The others consciously shifted their attention away from the scene, forced to watch the dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).
There were only the two of them there, and Li Xiao felt a little embarrassed. Cheng Shaolin's gaze was too intense, with a tendency to melt people.
Li Xiao is an introverted person who doesn't show off much.
She was still a little at a loss when faced with Cheng Shaolin's direct and blatant display of affection.
She didn't really understand; it wasn't a big deal, she just wasn't used to it yet.
Cheng Shaolin knew that Li Xiao wasn't very outgoing and preferred to take things slowly in relationships. So he always treated her feelings with a very gentle attitude.
He was very careful, cautious, and attentive to Li Xiao.
When someone truly cares about a relationship, they will put more thought into it, consider things carefully, and do their best to think of the other person's feelings.
This was Cheng Shaolin's situation at that moment. He wanted to treat Li Xiao well and give her the best. But he couldn't do that now; the circumstances wouldn't allow it. He could only do his best to protect her, to keep her safe, and to protect her from harm.
He couldn't help but laugh when he thought of Li Xiao's idea.
If Li Xiao can handle everything on his own, then what's the point of having him? What can I do?
All I can do now is protect her safety. Don't you want him to do even that?
If that were the case, I would truly be utterly useless.
"Xiaoxiao, can you leave me some work to do?" Cheng Shaolin pretended to be pitiful, looking at Li Xiao with a pleading gaze, like a pitiful puppy.
Li Xiao was startled by his gaze, then blinked and found it amusing. Her eyebrows curved into a smile as she glanced at Cheng Shaolin and said coquettishly, "What are you doing? I was just saying it casually. Don't people always want more? I just thought I wasn't aggressive, so I just said it offhand."
I've never seen Shao Lin like this before, and I'm not used to it yet.
Looking at Cheng Shaolin, whose face still held a mocking smile, Li Xiao felt a little hot and flushed.
The two were still talking quietly, enjoying a rare and warm moment. Cheng Shaolin felt that there wasn't enough time and wanted to continue talking with Li Xiao for a while longer.
As the surrounding sounds grew fainter, though they were quite quiet, Li Xiao stopped talking and prepared to sleep, hoping to get some rest.
Cheng Shaolin also felt it was getting late and Li Xiao should rest, so he patted Li Xiao's head and said goodnight.
After a peaceful night, everyone gradually woke up.
Occasionally, the roars of zombies could be heard, but the group had gotten used to it and didn't seem to notice.
Breakfast had already been prepared during the latter part of Xiao Peng's night watch. The food was leftover from last night, and this morning he only stir-fried some pickled vegetables and boiled some water.
I'll be staying in this area for a few days. I don't know if I'll ever come back here again. I didn't leave anything behind; I just cleaned everything up and left.
The weather has been terrible these past few days, with either light or moderate rain, which is really annoying.
In the past, when there was no sun, clothes couldn't be dried in the sun, but there were dryers available.
The same thing happens now; the clothes still won't dry after washing and will still feel damp. In the end, each piece has to be dried in a dryer.
"Ugh, when will this ever end?" Shao Jie looked at the long-sleeved t-shirt in his hand, feeling very frustrated.
"Who knows?" Xiao Peng, who was also drying his clothes, chimed in.
They made a long row of metal racks on the ground, bent into an arc, with clothes hanging on them and firewood underneath. Burning the firewood would dry the clothes, which was much better than leaving them undried.
They took the last few pieces of clothing off the rack. Mei put each person's clothes in a different box and put them away carefully, then Li Xiao put them away.
After getting ready, everyone put on their raincoats and rain boots, wore masks, and went outside to start today's work.
We went a bit too far today. The advantage of going a bit too far is that there were more zombies.
Most of the zombies in the industrial park were wiped out; you could say they were almost completely eliminated. If some hadn't gone over there later, there might not have been any zombies left at all.
The farther away you are, the more zombies there will be, making it easier for them to hunt them.
First, Li Xiao observed the map. If there were no particular zombies, he began to kill.
Li Xiao also joined in. She didn't have any special abilities, but she couldn't be completely powerless either.
With practice, I'll gradually improve.
Of course, as long as you persevere, you will definitely make progress.
Li Xiao had lost the knife for a while and hadn't used it, but she got it back later.
Although it took some time, I picked it up again and it wasn't completely lost.
The rain was a bit annoying, though; it would drift onto my face if I wasn't careful.
Wearing a raincoat is also inconvenient and gets in the way.
But there's nothing we can do about it; this is the environment we're in, and we have no other choice.
Li Xiao swung his curved blade, focusing on the neck of the zombie running towards him. The zombie paused, and Li Xiao quickly swung his blade a second time. Only then was the zombie's head severed and fell off.
The zombies now are much harder to kill than before; you can't kill them with a single blow.
Li Xiao persevered and her strength increased considerably. Her arms were noticeably stronger than before, and she even developed some muscle.
Her muscles aren't too exaggerated, which is good. She hasn't developed into a muscular woman, like a bodybuilder. If she did, Li Xiao would probably cry herself to death.
His muscles had become more defined, and his physical condition had improved. He didn't have a lot of muscle mass, which pleased Li Xiao greatly.
