They had been running nonstop for two days and two nights. Even if the people could take it, the car couldn't. So they found a nearby third-tier city to park, filled up the tank at a gas station near a large supermarket, and then went into the supermarket to replenish their supplies.
With Xia Yixin and Lu Yan's imposing presence as the Zombie Queen and Zombie Emperor, all the low-level zombies were reduced to workers clearing the snow, leaving Haina speechless with astonishment, and her gaze towards Xia Yixin became thoughtful.
Hena is, after all, the female lead. She also has superpowers, and she is already a fourth-level wood-type, with considerable attack power. She gained the support of many crew members by relying on her wood-type superpowers during her long stay on the ship.
After all, wood-type plants can cultivate many fresh fruits and vegetables. The plantations at Dawn Base are also all wood-type. In addition to attacking, they can also promote plant growth, flowering, and fruiting.
After the apocalypse, plants also mutated, and many became aggressive; the wood element can also be utilized.
However, all of these were insignificant under Xia Yixin's mental power.
Naturally, she also suspected that Xia Yixin had used her mental power to do something to Fred (Lu Yan), but she did not want to alert him for the time being.
However, Hina was soon drawn to something else.
The supermarket was very clean; since no one dared to enter the city after the apocalypse, it had stored a large amount of supplies.
She picked out clothes in the clothing section to change out of the white suit she wore at the P base, and took a shower. The three of them used the gas stove in the supermarket to boil water and ate hot instant noodles. It was already late at night.
There were many tents and some clean mattresses in the outdoor area. After crawling into her tent, Hina quickly fell asleep.
After her breathing stabilized, Xia Yixin and Lu Yan went to the manager's office one after the other.
As soon as Lu Yan closed the door, he stole a kiss.
With Haina around these past few days, the two of them haven't been able to talk about anything, let alone do anything intimate.
However, the two had a lot to talk about, so they only touched on the topic briefly. But he still couldn't bear to let go of her, so he simply held her and sat down on the sofa.
After a moment of tenderness, Xia Yixin calmed down and looked at him seriously. "Lu Yan, let's solve things one by one. If you have any questions for me, I'll tell you."
Their conversation was three days late.
Lu Yan knew that some things couldn't be rushed, so he asked the question that had been bothering him: "As far as I can remember, at least half a year ago, we didn't even know each other. Given my personality, it's impossible for me to accept someone and marry her so quickly. So, what exactly is going on between us?"
He knew that if this point wasn't explained clearly, it would be a thorn in their side.
Xia Yixin had already thought about how to answer. She scratched her cheek and tentatively asked, "Lu Yan, do you believe in 'past lives'?"
"Past life? You mean reincarnation?" Lu Yan wasn't religious, but he knew a little about it.
"That's right. Actually, there's something you probably didn't notice before: in your memory, was your Mandarin this good?"
Her question stumped him.
Indeed, Lu Yan hadn't considered this before. In his memory, he did know Chinese, but not nearly as fluently as he does now. This was a level that couldn't be achieved in just six months.
Xia Yixin gave him the answer.
"Actually, before you arrived on this continent, I had many dreams about our 'past lives.' We experienced many lifetimes together, some where we were together, some where we missed each other. Although our appearances were different, and even the dynasties were different, I always remembered you. So, when I first met you half a year ago, I was very surprised, and even more surprised that you seemed to remember as well. That's why our relationship developed so quickly. You can ask your teammates about this. If I really did something, I wouldn't have controlled you without even knowing your identity, and besides, I wouldn't have left no trace. It's just that you may have forgotten about the previous 'lifetimes,' so it seems a bit abrupt..."
She felt that perhaps only mysterious things like "reincarnation" could explain so many dimensions.
She then went on to recount the identities and stories of two other people from different dimensions, making her words more convincing.
Lu Yan's suspicions about her that night were actually fueled by jealousy and impulsiveness. Now that he thinks about it, he realizes that his suspicions were indeed unfounded. On the contrary, although her words sounded mysterious, they actually matched the "strange scenes" he had recalled earlier.
For example, the feeling of "a family of three living together harmoniously once".
After she finished speaking, he asked the question that had been on his mind: "In our previous life, we had a son, right?"
She sat up straight excitedly. "You remembered!?"
He nodded. "I do have some scattered memories. I remember we once had a son, and I even took you out to sea."
Xia Yixin was overjoyed; it seemed that his memory was gradually returning.
However, she was still a little uneasy.
She asked somewhat uncertainly, "Don't you have any other questions for me?"
Lu Yan found it quite amusing and pinched her cheek. "Is there anything else Madam would like me to ask?"
"for example……"
She thought for a long time, but she really couldn't think of any questions that, once answered, would be convincing enough, since they were all things that ordinary people would find hard to believe.
She leaned against his chest, a little dejected. "Lu Yan, no matter how much others question or hate me, I don't care. But with you, even the slightest doubt or distrust makes me feel terrible. In the future, if there's anything I've done wrong, can we talk it over properly? Don't doubt my feelings for you, okay?"
When the little girl in his arms spoke, her phoenix eyes were slightly red, and her aggrieved look made Lu Yan feel as if the ice in his heart could be melted. Although her explanation was too vague, he wanted to believe her without hesitation. That kind of love from the depths of his soul could not be suppressed.
Every day they spent together felt like a long-awaited reunion, making him want to hold her in the palm of his hand, yet afraid of hurting her.
Hearing her speak so frankly about her feelings, he was delighted, and naturally, he blurted out in a roguish tone, "Does Madam mean that she loves me, can't live without me, and thinks of me all the time?"
She knew he was doing it on purpose, gave him a haughty glare, and simply admitted, "Yes, I love you, Lu Yan, I love you."
With a smile on his lips, he could no longer restrain himself and kissed her.
A simple kiss is certainly not enough to express feelings, but Xia Yixin still remembered that there was a living person outside, and in addition, it was very inconvenient because of the dust everywhere, so she quickly braked.
But having just made things clear, the two didn't want to go back to sleep, so they simply snuggled together and lay down on the sofa. The sofa was spacious enough that the two of them didn't feel cramped.
The conversation then turned to more serious matters.
Lu Yan handed over everything that Haina had told him before, as well as the machine core he had found, to Xia Yixin.
"I haven't had time to talk to you about this before. This technology would have been difficult to achieve even before the apocalypse. Whoever is controlling the mechanical crows behind the scenes is a formidable enemy."
Xia Yixin had a feeling of "I knew it". She checked the machine core and found that it was more complete than the one she had found before. Maybe the professionals at the Dawn Base could find some things.
After putting away the machine core, she decided to tell Lu Yan the rest of what she knew.
