Chapter 62 Crow
When Cheng Sinian and Luo Zhenzhen offered to help the Lin family pick up Lin Chi and Lin Han, everyone in the Lin family was so grateful that they almost knelt down and kowtowed to them again.
Cheng Sinian took Luo Zhenzhen to find an abandoned car that was still usable, and then drove in the direction Deng Minglang said, searching forward.
It was already very late at night.
There was thick fog all around and visibility was less than ten meters.
Even though the two had their vision and hearing enhanced by the fruit water, the search was still difficult.
The road was very quiet, without the roars of alien species or the sounds of other mutant beasts.
Apart from the sound of their car driving, there was no sound at all.
But the quieter it is, the more unsettling it is.
"Did you just... think of your sister?" Cheng Sinian's voice sounded a little cautious in the silent carriage.
"Yeah." Luo Zhenzhen nodded. "That day...actually, my sister wasn't at home..."
He didn't finish his words, but Cheng Sinian already understood.
At that time, Cheng Sinian had just met Luo Zhenzhen and did not feel any sympathy for her.
But now when he thought about it, he regretted immensely why he didn't follow Jiang Zhan and stab those three beasts twice.
The car fell silent again.
"Do you... do you want to eat something?"
"Huh?" Luo Zhenzhen was stunned. She didn't quite understand how the topic suddenly turned to eating.
"Qiao Yu said...when you're in a bad mood, eating something delicious will make you feel better."
Cheng Sinian had no experience in getting along with the opposite sex, and the girl he had been in contact with the longest was Qiao Yu.
But according to his observation, Qiao Yu's current mental state is also very worrying.
So he wasn't sure whether what Qiao Yu said was applicable to Luo Zhenzhen.
"Puchi——" Luo Zhenzhen let out a very light laugh.
“…” As expected, Qiao Yu’s words could not be trusted.
Cheng Sinian felt a little depressed.
But the next second, Luo Zhenzhen asked softly, "Then... do you have anything delicious to give me?"
Hmm? It seems that what Qiao Yu said does make sense.
Cheng Sinian grinned, took out a box of butterfly cakes from his space, and waved it in front of Luo Zhenzhen. "Here, I have some delicious butterfly cakes here. Do you want some?"
Luo Zhenzhen was slightly startled as she looked at the butterfly cake in front of her. "You...how did you know..."
"How do you know what?" Cheng Sinian smiled smugly. "How do you know you like butterfly cakes?"
"I, I never said..."
Cheng Sinian chuckled again and placed the butterfly cake on her lap. "Last time when Qiao Yu was eating there, I told you to take it and eat it yourself. Although you only took one piece, you ate it in small bites for a long time. It was obvious that you liked it but couldn't bear to eat it."
So... that's how it is.
Sister... did you know this too?
Luo Zhenzhen didn't say anything else, but just looked at Cheng Sinian deeply.
The eye sockets gradually began to turn red.
Cheng Sinian hadn't heard Luo Zhenzhen speak for a long time, so he turned his head and looked at her with some confusion.
He immediately met her eyes filled with tears.
"……What’s wrong with you?"
Cheng Sinian was shocked, but he didn't know what the problem was.
Is it because of the butterfly cake?
Cheng Sinian stopped the car to find out what was going on, but Luo Zhenzhen wouldn't let him and urged him to keep driving.
The car restarted.
After a long while, Luo Zhenzhen said softly, "My sister used to buy me butterfly cakes all the time."
Cheng Sinian suddenly realized, but didn't know what to say for a moment.
"You...don't be sad."
Cheng Sinian held it in for a long time, only to utter this dry consolation. He couldn't help but curse himself in his heart.
He had never felt so stupid with his mouth as he did now.
Instead, Luo Zhenzhen smiled softly, picked up a piece of butterfly cake and began to eat it in small bites. "I'm fine. I have you now, so I'm no longer as scared and sad as I was when my sister left."
She thought that after her sister died, no one would know the secret that she liked to eat butterfly cakes.
But now Cheng Sinian knows.
It turns out that besides her sister, there is another person who is also paying attention to her silently and seriously.
Seeing that she finally smiled, Cheng Sinian smiled too unconsciously, "That's good. Don't worry, I will always be with you."
He said "I" rather than "we."
Luo Zhenzhen was caught off guard by his words that sounded like a confession, and her ears turned red.
The atmosphere in the car suddenly became ambiguous.
"Zhenzhen, actually I..."
"quack--"
Cheng Sinian was just about to say something in the atmosphere when he was suddenly interrupted by a shout from a distance.
The expressions of the two men suddenly became solemn.
"This is..." Luo Zhenzhen pricked up her ears and listened carefully, "A crow?"
Cheng Sinian nodded, "It should be!"
Although their voices had become much sharper, they were undoubtedly crows. And judging by the sound, there seemed to be quite a few of them.
As soon as Cheng Sinian finished speaking, there was another loud noise in the distance, followed by a woman's scream. The crows' cries also became louder.
Luo Zhenzhen and Cheng Sinian looked at each other, "It's Lin Han!"
Cheng Sinian turned the steering wheel, stepped on the accelerator, and regardless of the bumps in the car, quickly drove in the direction where the sound came from.
The car was getting closer and closer to the crows.
Cheng Sinian pulled out a submachine gun and a Tang sword from the space, handed them to Luo Zhenzhen, and instructed: "Don't force yourself when it's absolutely necessary, you must use your supernatural powers!"
"Okay." Luo Zhenzhen nodded, put the gun on her back, held the Tang sword in her hand, and was ready to rush out at any time.
Getting closer and closer.
Cheng Sinian and Luo Zhenzhen were both staring straight ahead at this time.
Suddenly, there was a "bang" and something scratched the roof of the car hard.
Cheng Sinian did not stop the car and continued to drive forward quickly.
As the noises on the roof grew louder, Luo Zhenzhen noticed that the metal roof above their heads had begun to sag.
"Bang——", the car windows also began to be attacked.
Luo Zhenzhen took the opportunity to see the crow's full appearance.
It is not very big, not much different from before the mutation, but its beak is very long and its claws have become much thicker and sharper.
When Cheng Sinian and Luo Zhenzhen finally saw the positions of Lin Chi and Lin Han under the attack of the flock of crows, they both gasped.
Lin Chi and Lin Han huddled together in a small, abandoned tin shack. The roof had been largely ripped apart by crows and hung precariously from the wall, leaving a crack half the width of a man between them. Lin Chi threw himself on top of Lin Han, his back facing upwards, blocking the crack as the crows attacked him relentlessly.
Blood had dyed Lin Chi's entire back red, but he still held Lin Han tightly under him, curled up there motionless.
Lin Han was pinned down by Lin Chi and couldn't move. He was crying miserably, "Brother—brother—get out of the way! If you keep going like this... you'll die!"
“No, no…” Lin Chi’s face was completely pale, and his voice was so low and hoarse that it was difficult to hear. “Xiao… Han… hold on a little longer… Uncle Deng… will come to save you…”
"Brother——" Lin Han's crying voice was filled with suffocating despair.
Just when Lin Han thought that the brother and sister were going to die here today, the sound of a car suddenly came from the distance, followed by continuous gunfire.
Lin Chi had almost lost consciousness at this time, and his control over Lin Han began to gradually loosen.
Lin Han crawled out from under him, hugged his body and looked outside the iron house.
——In the fog, a car whose model could not be seen was driving towards them quickly.
It was not until the car was right in front of him that Lin Han realized that it was Cheng Sinian who was driving, and Luo Zhenzhen who was shooting was sitting in the passenger seat.
The distance is getting closer.
When the car arrived in front of the iron house, Cheng Sinian made a sharp turn and pushed the back door of the car directly in front of the iron house.
"Get in the car!" Luo Zhenzhen shouted at Lin Han while shooting.
Lin Han didn't dare to delay, but Lin Chi was unconscious and her physical strength was overdrawn. She tried three times but failed to drag Lin Chi away.
"I don't have the strength..." Lin Han's voice was filled with tears.
Luo Zhenzhen looked back at her, stuffed the gun into Cheng Sinian's hand, got out of the car, and together with Lin Han, dragged Lin Chi into the back seat.
