Chapter 15: The Heartthrob Cannon Fodder in the Apocalyptic Literature 14
After the RV started, Tian Hao and his group got in and drove after it.
Kong Yu and his group were also standing outside the villa. Seeing Qi Yan's car leaving, Kong Yun said anxiously, "Brother, let's go too." Anyway, they had already packed their things and could leave at any time. If they missed Qi Yan this time, they didn't know when they would have the chance to meet him again.
The others also looked at Kong Yu eagerly. Although the three boys had refused their request to go with them, since they were all going to City B, it was understandable that he chose to go the same route as them. It would always be safer to follow them. This behavior was a bit shameless, but in the end times, face was not as important as life.
Kong Yu thought of the girl he had just seen wrapped in a blanket and held in Qi Yan's arms, with not an inch of her skin visible, and his heart sank. He agreed to Kong Yun's request and drove to catch up with Qi Yan and his group.
Inside the RV, the air conditioner was on and the temperature was just right. The girl was still asleep. Qi Yan gently placed her on the bed where she had been sleeping. He stared at her sleeping soundly for a while and then gently closed the bed curtains.
Lu Feng, who was driving in the front, habitually released a huge amount of mental power to check the surrounding environment. Suddenly, he frowned and carefully separated a strand of mental power to explore the several cars that appeared inexplicably at the back.
A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. It was actually Kong Yu and his group? Driving closely behind them. Thinking of the look that Kong Yu and his group had given the girl at the villa, Lu Feng's eyes flashed with sarcasm.
The sludge actually dares to covet their bright moon. What a bunch of people who don't know how to live or die.
Just because he was concerned about his image in the girl's mind, Lu Feng was kind for once and did not try to drive her away immediately.
…
When the girl woke up, it was already noon.
The RV on the road was parked on the side of the road to rest. It was getting closer and closer to City B. Not far from the RV, many people who came from different places in the country to the survivor base in City B gathered in the open space.
Nan Qiao, who had just woken up, was still confused as if she had just woken up. Qi Yan saw the girl's misty and tearful eyes, chuckled, and picked up the girl by the waist.
The food was already laid out on the dining table in the RV. The air conditioner was on and the air was a little stuffy inside. The window was slightly opened, and the cool wind, carrying the aroma of the food, wafted in the air, attracting many survivors outside the RV who were thin and pale from hunger due to the shortage of supplies to swallow their saliva eagerly.
Outside the RV, three boys sat around the dining table, patiently waiting for the girl who was washing up to arrive.
The girl came out of the bathroom quickly, walked to the dining table slowly and sat down, with Yan Chuanhao and Qi Yan beside her.
Qi Yan saw the blush on the girl's face that had not yet faded, and he touched her face with his own worriedly. Fortunately, she did not have a fever.
"Qiao Qiao, come and eat. You didn't have breakfast this morning, so you must be starving." Lu Feng first served the girl a bowl of clear chicken soup to fill her stomach.
The girl obediently drank some chicken soup, but in order to avoid the burning gazes of the three boys, she turned her eyes and looked out the window.
The section of road where the RV stopped was a somewhat remote section of highway before the apocalypse. There were no buildings around and tall trees everywhere. These trees were famous cold-resistant trees before the apocalypse and could grow in extremely cold weather. At this time, there was still some snow left on the trees.
Nan Qiao's gaze passed over the rare greenery in winter and fixed on a group of survivors who were obviously resting not far from the RV.
A group of survivors wearing some old warm clothes, including men and women, old and young.
Almost all of them were wearing cotton-padded jackets that were neither new nor old, and their faces showed more or less the numbness and deadness after being tortured by the end of the world. At first glance, there was almost no difference between them.
But when it came time to eat, the differences were apparent. Some survivors seemed to have relatively ample supplies, eating instant noodles soaked in hot water with a little ham. Others had limited supplies, eating a variety of easy-to-carry biscuits. The last group of survivors were severely short of supplies, with almost nothing to eat. They could only sip hot water while casting longing glances at the food in others' hands.
Nan Qiao could even see a little kid of four or five years old whose face turned pale with hunger and he was dying, while his relatives kept crying and feeding him hot water to fill his stomach.
The girl clenched the bowl in her hand, staring blankly at the scene outside the window. The girl, who had always been well protected, finally experienced the cruelty of the apocalypse. The tragic scene that Qi Yan had described to her at her home seemed to come into clearer focus now.
It turns out that in the end times, the weak really have almost no way to survive.
The chicken soup in her hand was fragrant and could easily whet one's appetite, but she found it difficult to swallow. Her mind kept turning over and over again to the four or five-year-old child she had just seen being fed hot water by her family.
The three boys knew that the girl was avoiding their gazes, so they didn't pay much attention to her behavior of looking out the window. They continued to do as usual. Qi Yan peeled the shrimps, and Yan Chuanhao and Lu Feng carefully added her favorite dishes to the girl's empty plate.
At first, the three of them didn't notice the girl's mood change until Qi Yan saw that the girl had just taken a sip of the chicken soup in her hand. He raised his head to ask the girl if she had a poor appetite. When he looked up, he saw the girl's pale face.
The shrimps he was peeling fell into the plate, and Qi Yan's usually calm expression was broken. In a panic, he hugged the girl in his arms and said anxiously: "Qiao Qiao, what's wrong? Is it painful somewhere?" He touched the girl's forehead with his again.
Hearing Qi Yan's anxious voice, Lu Feng and the other man who were still picking vegetables raised their heads instantly and saw the girl's pale face at a glance. Their hearts instantly became confused.
Yan Chuanhao could still barely maintain his composure. He quickly got out of the car, ran to the sedan behind the RV, called out the psychic who had treated the girl last time, and brought the person into the RV. The whole process took less than two minutes.
Under the treatment of the psychic, the girl's physical changes caused suddenly by fear were calmed down. When they saw that the girl's fair face had regained its rosy color, the three boys' hearts finally settled down.
"Miss Nan doesn't have any obvious physical injuries. I guess it's a series of symptoms caused by emotions." Facing the three boys' obviously cold questions, Lu Keyue answered cautiously.
Afterwards, she got off the car with the generous supplies given by the three boys as rewards. On the way back, Lu Keyue thought happily that they were so generous every time, and being Miss Nan's personal therapist in the future would be a good career path for her!
In the RV, the girl was still gently embraced by Qi Yan. Qi Yan stroked her back soothingly and signaled Lu Feng with his eyes to use his mental power to check outside the window. It was obvious that the girl's mood changed after she looked outside the window.
Lu Feng understood, and his mental energy spread outward, sensing everything that was happening outside. He didn't linger too long in a deserted area. The girl was clearly frightened, and the most likely source was another group of survivors not far from the RV. So his mental energy surged directly towards the gathering of survivors, circling around and exploring any factors that might have affected the girl's emotions.
But after turning around several times, he didn't notice any suspicious people. When Lu Feng was about to withdraw his mental power in disappointment, he suddenly saw a mother holding a four or five-year-old unconscious child and crying in pain, which caught his attention.
There are too many such things in the apocalypse. After experiencing the apocalypse and extreme weather, countless people have died of cold, starvation, disease, and been bitten by zombies. Lu Feng has long been accustomed to it, but when he saw the four or five-year-old child looking like he was on the verge of death, a trace of sadness flashed through his heart.
Wait a minute, Lu Feng paused, he suddenly remembered the girl's incredibly soft nature, and her clear eyes that had been protected by them since the end of the world and had never seen too much darkness.
He thought that he might have found the reason for the girl's sudden change of mood.
Lu Feng slowly withdrew his mental power and slowly told the other two people everything he had just seen.
"I think Qiao Qiao must have become frightened because of what she saw just now." For this delicate girl who had never been exposed to darkness, it was such a thrill for her to suddenly realize that the world had really become cruel!
Qi Yan and Yan Chuanhao listened quietly. After he finished speaking, Qi Yan asked, "Is the child still alive?"
Lu Feng nodded, indicating that the child was just unconscious and still alive.
"Take the healing person with you to treat the child, and bring some food to his family, give it secretly. Don't bring too much, just enough for three or four days." In three or four days, those people should be almost in City B. Even if they didn't make it to City B, three days would be enough for them to leave this desolate area, with no village or store nearby, and head to a town to look for supplies.
They are not gods and cannot save everyone, but for the girl's sake, they lend a hand and consider it as a blessing for the girl.
The girl gradually regained consciousness. She lay in Qi Yan's arms, listening to Qi Yan softly talking about his arrangements. She felt a little relieved, but also a sense of shame for being generous to others. It seemed that she had caused them trouble again.
Even though she rarely went out due to health reasons since she was a child, in today's world with developed Internet, she also knew the sarcastic saying that was widely circulated on the Internet: "Kill the Virgin Mary first in the end times."
In the eyes of others, her behavior was also a "saintly" behavior. She buried her face in Qi Yan's arms, thinking with some self-abandonment.
"Qiao Qiao, kindness is a good quality at all times, and it won't change whether you are in the end of the world or not." Qi Yan looked into the depths of the girl's clear eyes, as if he saw the struggle in her heart, and comforted her softly.
"I'm here. Just tell us what you want to do. There's no need to be hesitant or hide anything in your heart."
The girl is simple and introverted, and likes to keep things to herself. He is worried that this situation will happen again in the future, so he has to give her some advice.
Seeing the head in Qi Yan's arms nod, the other boy breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing the food on the table that hadn't been eaten yet, Yan Chuanhao softened his face and said, "Let's eat first."
