"Don't get me wrong, that's not what I meant. I just think it's a little too fast." He had never had a girlfriend before, so he was a little flustered when it came to coaxing people.
"Really?" Keqing looked at the stone with wet eyes.
Shitou nodded quickly, "Really? We can start as friends. If we get along well, we can talk about the future later."
Ke Qing then sniffed and nodded slightly. She leaned her head on Shi Tou's arm. Shi Tou's body stiffened, his mind went blank, and he didn't know what to say.
Chen Wan and her group strolled outside for a while and then came back in a mighty group. After all, it was not very safe outside at night, so it was safer to stay in the armored vehicle.
When they came back, Keqing and Shitou were chatting. Keqing's expression had long since returned to normal. She smiled and greeted Chen Wan and the others, "You're back."
She was talking to everyone, but her gaze fell squarely on Chen Wan.
Seeing her looking at him, Chen Wan replied, "Well, let's go out to digest the food and relieve ourselves. You were frightened today, so get some rest early. I'll have Shitou change your medicine tomorrow morning. We'll have professional medical staff when we get to District 1, so just stay here for now."
"Thank you." Ke Qing smiled at Chen Wan and thanked him.
Jiang Yanxin looked at Ke Qing across from her, then glanced at Chen Wan. She casually asked, "I remember you were a star before the apocalypse?"
"I can't really be called a star. I've acted in some TV series and released some records. I'm just a small actor. Please excuse me." Ke Qing was looking at Jiang Yanxin while she was speaking. She saw that Jiang Yanxin had been sitting next to Chen Wan in the car for the past two times, and the two of them often talked without paying attention to anyone else. Therefore, she guessed that Jiang Yanxin might have an unusual relationship with Chen Wan. She clenched her hands lightly on her knees.
"No, I remember I've watched a TV series you wanted before." Huang Lili was afraid that the atmosphere would become awkward, so she also joined in the awkward conversation.
Of course, Jiang Yanxin also noticed Keqing's scrutiny of her. As a fellow Omega, Jiang Yanxin had basically guessed Keqing's thoughts. However, Chen Wan was her alpha, so other Omegas couldn't even think about it.
Listening to the awkward conversations of the people in the car, Jiang Yanxin reached out and tugged at the corner of Chen Wan's clothes. Chen Wan tilted his head to look at her and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
"I'm a little sleepy." Jiang Yanxin whispered to Chen Wan, looking at Chen Wan with wet eyes.
Wan felt itchy in her heart, and if everyone wasn't there, she would have wanted to kiss him.
Chen Wan took Jiang Yanxin into his arms and coaxed her softly, "Then lean on my arms and rest for a while. You can have a good sleep when we return to the base tomorrow."
"Yeah." Jiang Yanxin nodded softly, leaned on Chen Wan's shoulder and closed her eyes to rest.
Qin Ke looked at Chen Wan and the other person, chuckled and said to Shen Mingyan beside him: "Yan Yan, are you tired? Do you want to lie in my arms for a while?"
Shen Mingyan was stunned for a moment, then reached out and pinched Qin Ke's fingertips, "Why don't you lie in my arms for a while? I'm not tired."
Qin Ke's face turned red after hearing what Shen Mingyan said. She had forgotten that her wife didn't need to rest. Instead, she herself was weaker than her Yanyan and needed to rest at night.
Qin Ke curled her lips, but didn't say anything stubborn. After all, she was relying on her wife to rest. "Okay then."
After thinking about it, Qin Ke simply gave up struggling and leaned into Shen Mingyan's arms.
Shen Mingyan looked at Qin Ke in her arms and chuckled.
The few single guys left in the car looked at each other and had no choice but to huddle together for warmth.
Ke Qing leaned on the stone arm to rest, but her eyes looked slowly towards Chen Wan.
No one got a good rest that night. After all, they could only sleep sitting up in the armored vehicle, and their backs and legs were sore from sleeping all night.
The next morning, Commander Chai asked everyone to continue moving the supplies. Everyone was busy until noon when they finally filled all 20 trucks. This time they had a rich harvest, including rice, flour, oil, clothes, shoes, quilts, etc. They basically emptied the shopping mall.
Everyone took a short rest, and at one o'clock in the afternoon, the convoy started to return. They drove out along the main road of Yangcheng City, and soon arrived at a winding mountain road surrounded by mountains. The convoy drove slowly, and from time to time there were more than a dozen zombies passing by, and they were all dealt with by the armed soldiers in the armored vehicles. After driving forward for another ten minutes, the vehicle in front suddenly stopped, causing the vehicles behind to brake as well.
Fortunately, the distance between each car was not too far or too close, otherwise they would all have rear-ended each other.
Chen Wan frowned and looked ahead, wanting to see what was happening. He heard gunshots from the two armored vehicles in front, and at the same time, Commander Chai's voice came from the walkie-talkie.
"Attention everyone, there are Level 3 mutant animals ahead. Soldiers, take cover with your weapons. Get out of your vehicles and shoot. Cover the psychics. The psychics will attack the mutated animals ahead."
With Chai’s finger
The commander's order was given and the soldiers got off the car one after another. Chen Wan and the others also prepared to get off the car to see what was going on.
Shitou was worried about Keqing's health, so he said to her, "You should stay in the car. It should be safer inside than outside."
Ke Qing shook her head firmly, "I want to be with you. I don't want to be alone anymore."
Seeing her say that, Shitou nodded and said, "Okay, you must follow me closely. I will protect you well."
"Shi Tou, you are such a nice person." Ke Qing smiled at Shi Tou, which made Shi Tou's face blush.
When Shi Tou took Ke Qing out of the car, Ke Qing's lips curled up slightly. She was not stupid. In this situation, it would definitely be safer to follow the main group. She looked past Shi Tou and looked at Chen Wan from a distance.
Chen Wan and Jiang Yanxin had already arrived next to the first armored vehicle. She looked up and saw a mutant caterpillar about ten meters away. The thing was huge, as big as a truck, covered in white and sticky liquid, and it sprayed out white mucus from time to time.
Chen Wan felt physically uncomfortable when she saw that thing. She hated squirming and sticky things the most.
Bullets rained down on this thing, but it had excellent immunity. After being shot, it only oozed a few drops of mucus, and then the wound healed automatically.
Several fire-type mutants set fire to this thing, but it was obvious that this little fire could not hurt it. On the contrary, the mucus sprayed by this thing had a corrosive effect, and the mucus sprayed onto the ground made a "hissing" corrosive sound.
Seeing dozens of zombies around, Chen Wan no longer hesitated and commanded all the zombies to rush towards the monster. While trying to stop it from crawling forward, she shouted, "Everyone, step back. I'll have the zombies entangle it. The substance it sprays is corrosive. Don't get hurt by it."
Many soldiers looked towards Chen Wan, but they only listened to Commander Chai's orders. Seeing that it was someone with Wei Siyu, Commander Chai quickly gave the order: "Do as she says. Everyone step back."
Liuzi, who was following behind Commander Chai, saw Chen Wan clearly this time, but it was not the time to talk, so Chen Wan did not notice him.
When everyone retreated to the third armored vehicle, the zombies controlled by Chen Wan were almost completely corroded by that thing.
Fortunately, the other two lightning-type psychics used their powers to slow down the creature's advance. Chen Wan once again used her powers to summon the zombies around her. This time, she summoned a hundred zombies. Because of the widening of the threshold of her spiritual realm, Chen Wan could control a hundred zombies within her tolerance range.
Within the range.
I saw a hundred zombies rushing towards the big insect like crazy. Some bit it with their hands, some bit it directly with their mouths, and some tore the insect's wounds. They attacked the insect desperately. Even though their bodies were corroded by the sticky liquid left by the insect, they still rushed towards the insect tirelessly. After more than ten minutes, this group of zombies tore a big wound on the big insect.
Chen Wan asked the zombies to continue biting, and at the same time gave orders to the zombies in front, asking them to tear off the insect's head as much as possible. Only when the head was cut off, the creature would be considered dead.
A large amount of white sticky liquid sprayed out with the tearing, and the stuff sprayed onto the zombies' heads, which began to smoke. Some of them even had most of their bodies corroded by the corrosive liquid. When the zombies in front could no longer survive, the ones behind would take over, one after another. The scene made everyone present terrified.
Chen Wan suppressed his nausea and continued to deploy the zombies. As wave after wave of zombies were corroded, the caterpillars gradually lost their mobility. Large amounts of white sticky substances were deposited on the road, which looked like fat or vomited mucus.
Because they were working with the military, Chen Wan couldn't use the system's capabilities. For example, when she usually killed mutant animals, the crystal cores would usually be automatically collected by the system or directly collected by Yiyi through scanning. But now with so many eyes watching, Chen Wan had to use the most primitive method to collect the crystal cores.
Of course, she didn't go there herself, but instead directed the remaining dozen or so zombies to search for the crystal core in the caterpillar's head. Everyone was terrified by what they saw.
Seeing that Chen Wan's ability could handle it, Jiang Yanxin did not attack again. After about ten minutes, several zombies searched and finally found the crystal core deep in the head of this thing. A zombie whose body was not much corroded was holding the crystal core in his hand, and walked towards Chen Wan staggeringly like a puppet.
Chen Wan signaled him to place the crystal core on the open space in front of him, and the zombie did so.
Chen Wan used his supernatural powers to make the dozen or so zombies retreat, took out the kettle from the car, and took a piece of rag. He poured the water in the kettle on the crystal core, roughly rinsed off the sticky liquid on it, and wiped it with the cloth, but it still looked a bit disgusting.
Chen Wan wrapped the thing with cloth and plastic bag, then stood up.
When she stood up, she realized everyone was staring at her quietly. Chen Wan looked at Commander Chai with some confusion and asked, "That thing is already dead. Isn't it said that whoever kills a mutant animal gets the crystal core? Isn't that right?"
Commander Chai was incredibly excited, but he suppressed it on the surface. This Chen Wan was also a psychic, and unlike Wei Siyu, Chen Wan possessed aggressive abilities, which was extremely rare among psychics. District One had truly found another treasure this time!
