She was wrapped up tightly, even her limbs were wrapped in bandages, with only the skin on her face exposed. However, she could still feel those eyes everywhere around her... those eyes that looked at prey like those of a wolf or a tiger, greedy and vulgar.
The original owner's reputation as the scourge of the end times was unworthy.
Pei Xiqing didn't say anything.
Just look at them.
He gritted his teeth vaguely.
Want to bite someone.
Tear them apart.
They are so dirty.
The next part was free time. Everyone else went to explore the city. Pei Xiqing was also very curious about the apocalyptic city, so she wandered around for a while. When she returned to the camp, Long Yan, Lu Xudong, and Ling Lang were already prepared and ready to set off immediately.
Long Yan looked at her from afar, "Xiqing, we received a message from the other teammates. We have to rush over to meet up now. We'll see you later. You stay with Brother Duan for the next two days."
The incident happened suddenly. After all, they were members of a team and had to obey the orders from above. The mission was important, and they couldn't just abandon their other teammates and go back to the base first.
Ling Lang snorted: "In two days, we will catch up with you."
Then he looked at her and said, "Put away those evil thoughts of yours. If you dare to bite someone, you will die miserably. The one who shot me in the head today will be your fate."
…
"Why are you scaring her?" Long Yan said, "Just leave now."
Ling Lang raised his chin slightly: "Anyway, you better behave yourself and don't bite my brother."
Pei Xiqing found it a little funny.
I guess she wanted to bite, but her mouth was crushed by the man before she even opened it.
"Be careful on the road."
"Okay, see you in two days." Long Yan waved his hand.
They drove a car and as soon as they drove away, the other team members came over to inquire about the situation. Pei Xiqing did not reveal a word and cautiously moved closer to the man.
He put the pair of high-quality glasses into his coat pocket. The man was resting with his eyes closed. His usually sharp and cold eyebrows did not soften at all after the rest.
Pei Xiqing did not wake him up, but waited quietly by the car.
During this time, the group of people came over to talk to her, but she was annoyed and didn't want to say a word, so she simply got in the car and went to sleep.
She didn't know how long it was before she was woken by the cold. She opened her eyes and saw that it was dark outside again. People had lit fires on both sides of the street and sat around them to keep warm.
Pei Xiqing sneezed, and seeing that there was no one in the co-pilot seat, he subconsciously began to look around.
Next to the fire in front of the car, she saw a man sitting upright.
Shivering, she got out of the car and moved closer to the man. She heard him say, "There are clothes in the car."
Pei Xi only saw his jacket in her lover's car. Thinking of what Long Yan had said before, she hesitated and asked, "Can I still wear it?"
"It's okay to wear cold words."
She immediately took off her coat, put on her sleeves, and buttoned it up.
She didn't know what material his coat was made of, but after putting it on for a while, she felt warm.
The man handed over a bamboo stick.
There is a cleaned rabbit on the bamboo skewer.
She thanked him and said, "Let's eat together."
Duan Xiaolin: "I've already eaten."
"I can't finish such a big rabbit."
"Don't force yourself to eat if you can't finish it."
"Is this the one you're going to catch?"
The man said, "They're sending it."
"ah?"
Pei Xiqing was a little surprised and opened her lips slightly, "They?"
She turned her head to look at the team not far away.
Someone seemed to be looking over here as well. "Here's some food for you, take your time eating! By the way, we just found a few hotels in this city that aren't too badly damaged. We heard there's going to be a sandstorm tonight, so why don't you take shelter in one of the hotel rooms later?"
Pei Xiqing asked: "Shall we go?"
He didn't say anything, just nodded.
Pei Xiqing didn't dare to get too close to him and always kept a distance, but something dramatic still happened. They were late, and all the rooms in the only two hotels left in the city were occupied by them, leaving only one room vacant.
"Ah, aren't you a couple? Why can't you stay together?" someone asked in confusion. "There's only one room left, and there are quite a few of us. You can just stay for one night."
The man said playfully, "You're a couple, why are you afraid of this? Don't worry, if you're doing anything at night, we won't disturb you. But the soundproofing in this hotel isn't great, so please remember to keep your noise down."
Pei Xiqing: ...
She looked at Duan Xiaolin nervously.
He was taking some supplies from the car to the room and didn't pay any attention to what was happening here.
She also went over to help, but as soon as she picked up the box in the trunk, her waist was bent so hard that she couldn't lift it.
Is there explosives inside?
It's so heavy.
The man came out and took the box from her hand.
The broad palm brushed across her knuckles at a very fast speed. The rough and hot touch, as well as the strong and slender veins on it, made her shrink subconsciously.
It reminded her inexplicably of yesterday when she was unconscious and seemed to be held tightly from behind by a man in a powerful and irresistible way.
"You don't have to move, just come in." He said in a low voice.
She asked curiously, "What's in it?"
"Explosives."
…
The man moved some documents and weapons from the car in. After a while, the captain of the team came over and seemed to have something to say to him, so he went downstairs and talked to the captain by the car.
Pei Xi looked around everywhere in the room.
Most of the buildings in the city were razed to the ground. This hotel was one of the lucky buildings in the chaotic times. There were only a few cracks on the walls, and other than that, the hotel was still functional.
There is even a bathroom.
Pei Xiqing felt like she was covered in the filthy blood of zombies, her own blood, and all sorts of wind and sand these past few days...she was practically getting fleas.
The shower in the bathroom was actually working and there were clean bathrobes.
After hesitating for a moment, he began to take off the bandages wrapped around his body, along with his clothes.
