Suddenly, footsteps were heard behind him. Pei Xiqing immediately got off him and guiltily took his almost dry coat and put it on.
The man slowly picked up the fallen windbreaker. Ling Lang and his men had just returned. When he saw the two of them, his gaze paused for a second on Pei Xiqing and he casually asked, "Have you eaten?"
Pei Xiqing shook his head.
"There's a lot of food in the trunk, help yourself."
"Okay."
"How's the injury on your hand?"
Pei Xiqing raised her head and met Ling Lang's gaze under his white hair. She smiled and said, "Much better."
As she spoke, the man next to her kept his eyes fixed on her.
Pei Xiqing's smile froze.
Thinking about what I just said,
Oh no…
Ling Lang paused for a moment, feeling that something was amiss between her and his brother, but the zombie issue was more important at the moment. He said, "Brother, the team has made a discovery, come over here."
Duan Xiaolin stood up and followed him out.
Pei Xiqing was rummaging in the trunk when Long Yan came over and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
"I want something light."
"Then let's make some porridge. There seems to be quite a bit of rice in the trunk. Let's put some vegetables and meat in and cook them together. Everyone just got back and they're all thirsty."
"But they can't feel full just by eating porridge, right?"
"Don't worry, they will definitely eat it with other meat." Long Yan came over to help with a smile.
Pei Xiqing saw the blood on her sleeve and was a little worried: "Sister Long Yan, are you hurt?"
Long Yan said, "It's okay. I just happened to be splashed with the blood of a few infected humans."
"Be careful. Don't get any wounds on your arms. If blood seeps in through the wound, there's a risk of infection."
Long Yan smiled and said, "Are you still worried about me? But thank you for your concern. I don't have any wounds on my hands, and I'm wearing a combat uniform that's impervious to swords and guns. This little blood is nothing to a superpower."
"Then I feel relieved."
"Come on, let's cook."
Pei Xiqing helped her make a fire and cook, and Fu Feng and Nie Bin also came to help.
Long Yan said as he worked, "Everyone has worked hard all day. Feel free to take whatever you want to eat tonight. But after you finish eating, stay alert. Zombies may come and attack at any time during the night."
"yes!"
Pei Xiqing squatted beside the pot and poked the dirt on the ground with a wooden stick: "Sister Long Yan, have you solved the source of the zombies?"
"That thing is not easy to deal with. It's like an infinitely reproducing rogue cell, constantly growing. If you kill one, another will constantly emerge. As long as the zombies are not completely exterminated, those things will not be completely eliminated. If those things are not completely eliminated, they will continue to spread more zombie viruses and infect more people."
"It's so difficult. Thank you for your hard work."
"What's the big deal? This is the mission of the supernatural being."
Pei Xiqing saw the iron pot begin to shake and hurriedly said, "Hurry up and put the meat in! The water inside is boiling and about to burst out!"
Long Yan and they shared a piece of meat, and Pei Xiqing took a large iron shovel and began to stir it vigorously.
After a while, Ling Lang and Duan Xiaolin finished their discussion. When they came over, Ling Lang saw the contents of the large iron pot and burst out laughing. "What is this? A big pot of rice? Why is there everything in it?"
"Yes." Pei Xiqing clapped his hands and stood up from the ground.
Ling Lang sat down, "I haven't eaten for a long time, it feels like I'm back to when I was training. Have you eaten yet?"
He asked Pei Xiqing.
"I've eaten it in the school cafeteria before," Pei Xiqing said. "Back then, when I didn't have much money, I loved eating this kind of big pot meal in the school cafeteria. It mixed several kinds of dishes together. It was cheap and delicious."
Before she became famous, she lived a very difficult life. She earned her living expenses in college by herself. Later, she entered the entertainment industry and worked her way up from the bottom to earn a slightly higher living expenses.
Ling Lang asked, "You still have this side of yourself. I wonder if I thought you were some spoiled little lady from some family."
Pei Xiqing: "Are you mocking me or praising me?"
"you guess?"
Pei Xiqing rolled her eyes, "This must be insulting me."
"You guessed it right."
…
Pei Xiqing ignored him and leaned towards the man sitting next to her. A bowl of hot porridge, fresh from the pot, was handed to her. She was slightly startled and looked at Duan Xiaolin, "...Give it to me?"
He nodded. "Eat it while it's hot. The wind is strong at night and the temperature is low. It will get cold after a while."
The man's knuckles brushed against the back of her hand, causing ripples.
Pei Xiqing lowered his head subconsciously.
"good."
