Fan Xin gave him a look of disdain and ruthlessly refused: "No."
Zhou Jinchen looked aggrieved.
Fan Xin ignored Zhou Jinchen's scalp-numbing expression and gaze with a blank face: "Exchange it with 400 milliliters of your blood."
Before the end of the world, humans generally donated 200-400 ml of blood, and the specific amount was strictly calculated according to body weight. Fan Xin didn't know how it was calculated.
However, after the end of the world, some changes have taken place in the human body. 400ml of blood no longer poses a threat to men or women, except for children, of course.
Fan Xin wasn't so crazy as to draw blood from a child.
"400ml of blood?" Zhou Jinchen was stunned for a moment, then said happily, "Okay, you said it! You can't go back on your word!"
Zhou Jinchen's eyes lit up and he was ready to make a move.
Fan Xin nodded, found a place to park the car, opened the door and got out, motioning Zhou Jinchen to get out.
When Zhou Jinchen saw Fan Xin take out the blood collection needle, his face froze. He swallowed and got out of the car reluctantly.
The blood collection needle awakened a very bad memory in him, and his scalp suddenly felt numb: "Boss, do you really want to draw it?"
Fan Xin: "Want to regret it?"
Zhou Jinchen wanted to nod, but then he thought of his supernatural powers.
He gritted his teeth, shook his head resolutely, and walked very slowly to Fan Xin's side. He rolled up his sleeves and said, "Boss, be gentle. Or don't use this thing. Just give me a knife. It will hurt a little, but I won't get hurt again..."
Zhou Jinchen is really afraid of needles. He has relatively thin blood vessels, so it is very difficult to find veins whether for infusion or blood drawing.
Every time he got an acupuncture injection, others could get it done with just one shot, but Zhou Jinchen had to be pricked two, three, four or five times. When the needle was inserted in the wrong place, the pain was extremely sharp.
Zhou Jinchen was so happy that he cried several times, the kind of thing where a grown man hugged his arms and cried loudly in the hospital.
When Fan Xin mentioned the exchange of blood just now, Zhou Jinchen just thought that this little bit of blood could make him a superpower, what a huge profit!
I never thought she would draw blood!
He reached out his hand to Fan Xin tremblingly, but when he saw that Fan Xin had no intention of accepting his opinion, he quickly turned away.
If he doesn't look at the needle, he can comfort himself and suffer less.
"Boss, can you draw blood? You, please be gentle, I'm really afraid of pain." Zhou Jinchen was afraid and kept muttering.
Zhong Yi also got out of the car and saw Zhou Jinchen's appearance, and laughed: "Coward!"
Zhou Jinchen gritted his teeth and glared at Zhong Yi, who glared back without showing any weakness.
Fan Xin's cold hand touched Zhou Jinchen's arm, and he shivered. Then he saw Zhong Yi making a face at him with a look of disdain in his eyes.
Zhou Jinchen was so angry that his teeth were itching, and he wanted to get up and teach the kid a lesson.
"That's enough." Fan Xin pulled out the needle and pressed the needle hole on Zhou Jinchen's arm: "Press it yourself for a while."
Zhou Jinchen was stunned: "Alright?"
He looked at his arm in confusion. He hadn't even felt the blood being drawn. Besides, wasn't this too fast?
Zhou Jinchen pressed the needle hole in confusion, then reacted: "Ahhh... Boss, Boss, you didn't disinfect me? You didn't even have a cotton swab. There are a lot of bacteria on my fingers. What if I get infected???"
Fan Xin had already put the blood bag back into the space and said calmly, "Die."
Zhou Jinchen: “…”
At this time, Fan Xin had taken out the pot and gas stove again, lit the fire, and placed the crystal core on it to burn.
Zhou Jinchen looked at the crystal core: "Boss, what is this?"
Fan Xin has become very accustomed to Zhou Jinchen's changing ways of addressing her. If one day he continues to call her dad, Fan Xin will be able to respond without changing her expression.
"Here you go." Fan Xin said lightly.
Zhou Jinchen subconsciously touched his stomach and found it was still full. He burped and waved his hand: "No, no, I'm not hungry yet."
Fan Xin didn't bother to pay attention to him. When the time came, she picked up the crystal cores, threw one to Zhou Jinchen, and then waved to Zhong Yi.
Zhong Yi ran over: "Brother."
Fan Xin: "Open your mouth."
Zhong Yi screamed and opened his mouth. Fan Xin threw the crystal core into his mouth. The crystal core fell into his mouth, and Zhong Yi closed his mouth unconsciously.
After a while, he smacked his lips and said, "Brother, what is this? It has no taste."
Fan Xin rubbed his head and glanced at Zhou Jinchen who was still standing there stupidly holding the crystal core.
Zhou Jinchen scratched his head. Could this thing be the key to activating his supernatural powers? He tentatively placed the crystal core into his mouth. Suddenly, the rock-hard object melted and slid down his throat into his esophagus.
It’s hard to describe the feeling, but... it seems pretty good?
Zhou Jinchen smacked his lips, then looked at Fan Xin in confusion. Nothing had changed, he didn't feel anything.
Fan Xin had already taken Zhong Yi into the car, and Zhou Jinchen hurriedly followed: "Boss, this thing can stimulate superpowers, right? What should we do next? I don't have any other feelings."
Fan Xin said calmly, "Wait for it to digest."
Zhou Jinchen: “???”
At this time, an off-road vehicle was parked more than a hundred kilometers away from Fan Xin and his group.
There was a family of three in the car. They parked the car under the shade of a tree to rest.
Zhang Huai licked his dry lips, drank the last drop of mineral water, and shook the bottle: "Dad, do you have any water?"
Father Zhang waved his hands weakly: "No more."
Mother Zhang felt sorry for her son and handed him her own water: "Mom, I still have some."
Zhang Huai glanced at the mineral water bottle in Zhang's mother's hand. There was only a sip of water in it, and Zhang's mother's lips had dried out and cracked. The bright red cracks on her pale lips were very glaring.
He smiled at Zhang's mother and said, "Mom, drink it. I'm not thirsty anymore."
The family of three escaped from Wenxian County. Because they ran in such a hurry, they couldn't bring much food and water with them. They lived frugally along the way and were hungry every day.
However, not long after leaving the county town, they ran out of food and water.
Places with food and water are too dangerous. First, it is easy to encounter zombies, and second, it is easy to encounter people with bad intentions. Zhang Huai's parents are old, and he is the only one who is strong and healthy, so the three of them dare not go out to look for food.
But now they were so hungry and thirsty that they could hardly bear it any longer.
Zhang Huai went to the car and looked. There was a bag of bread in the trunk. The bread was only the size of a fist and was not enough for three people.
He picked up the bread, walked over to Zhang's parents, unwrapped it, split it in half, and handed it to them: "If you're hungry and have no strength, it's easy to get into trouble. You guys eat something first."
Father Zhang frowned: "What about you?"
Mother Zhang directly handed her half to Zhang Huai: "Son, I'm not hungry, I can still eat it. You eat it. You and your father have to take turns driving later."
Zhang Huai pushed the bread back: "You guys eat first, then wait for me in the car, I'll go find some food."
Zhang's mother panicked when she heard this: "No, it's too dangerous. We don't even have a weapon. What if we run into that thing?"
She grabbed Zhang Huai's hand and said, "Son, let's not take any risks, okay? At worst, we'll just starve for a few days. We'll be fine once we get to City S."
Wen County is also a county town belonging to City D, a little farther away from Province S than Pingchang County.
When the end of the world came, Zhang Huai hid at home with his parents, but there was not much food left at home, and they lived in panic every day.
He tried hard to fiddle with his cell phone, computer, and even took out his long-abandoned radio, hoping all day long to see if he could get some signal.
He struggled for a long time before finally receiving a little signal.
A safe zone has been cleared in the urban area of City S, and survivors are notified to go to the safe zone as soon as possible.
The information Zhang Huai received was not coherent. He guessed and guessed the information.
But it shouldn't be wrong, so he gritted his teeth and left Wen County with his parents.
They were lucky enough to reach the parking lot safely. They escaped to their own car before being caught up by the zombies, and then drove away from Wen County at full speed.
At this moment, they had just left City D and arrived at the outskirts of City S, but City S was much larger than City D, and there was still a long way to go to get to the center of City S.
If there is any accident or delay on the way, it may take ten days or half a month to arrive. They have no food left, so they will definitely not be able to reach their destination by walking like this.
Father Zhang hesitated and said, "How about your mother wait here, and I go with you to find something to eat?"
Zhang Huai shook his head: "No, what if Mom gets into danger here alone? Dad, I'm fine, don't worry about me, just take good care of my mom."
He reached out and hugged Zhang's father and mother: "If I'm not back in a day, Dad, you will take my mom away, understand?"
Zhang's mother broke down in tears and held onto Zhang Huai tightly: "Son, let's go together. We live together and die together. Our family must be together no matter what."
Zhang Huai smiled helplessly: "Mom, you look so weak, you want to go with me to find food? If we encounter danger, I have to take care of you. You could have escaped, but you ended up dying."
"Alright, your son has been a fast runner since he was young. If he really gets into danger, don't worry, I'll definitely run as fast as I can, okay? Just wait for me here, I'll be back as soon as I find something to eat!"
Father Zhang reached out and patted Zhang Huai on the shoulder, pulling Mother Zhang back: "Alright, listen to your son and don't cause him any more trouble."
Zhang's mother shed tears silently.
Zhang Huai took out a folding bicycle from the trunk of the off-road vehicle. Fortunately, he still had another bicycle, otherwise he would have to walk to find food, which would take a lot of time.
Looking at Zhang Huai's receding back, Zhang's father and mother hugged each other. After Zhang Huai disappeared, they looked at the bread in their hands, but finally did not eat it. They took a plastic bag, wrapped the bread well, and placed it on the driver's seat.
"Okay, don't worry, your son will be back soon." Father Zhang patted Mother Zhang's shoulder comfortingly.
Mother Zhang nodded and supported her stomach with her hands.
During this period, she hardly ate anything. Even if her son shared some with her, she would secretly keep it. Now there were a few small pieces of biscuits and a thumb-sized piece of dried tofu in her clothes pocket.
