Chapter 272: Surviving the Apocalypse, Removing All Obstacles (18)
At the dinner table, everyone would occasionally steal a glance at Lin Yan who was picking up food for Shen Youan.
The main reason is... the movements are too frequent and they don't want to notice it.
"You eat too"
Shen Youan felt a little embarrassed. He picked up a piece of meat and put it into Lin Yan's bowl. During this time, he secretly glared at Lin Yan, asking him to restrain himself.
Lin Yan's eyebrows danced slightly, and the corners of his lips rose slightly, but he finally obeyed. But the reason was that the food in the bowl should be enough to last for a while.
So, when Shen Youan had almost finished the food in his bowl, Lin Yan started to move faster again.
Shen Youan looked at the meat in the bowl, then looked at the people who were eating hard. He was silent for a while and then quickened his eating speed.
Lin Yan, who was paying attention to him, said softly:
“Eat slowly”
Shen Youan paused, and the next second he heard Zhao Qi coughing violently.
"No...it's okay, you guys eat, you guys eat, cough cough...I'm hungry, cough cough...I'm anxious"
Zhao Qi explained hurriedly, then stood up and took a glass of water, took two big gulps, and slowly recovered.
Zhao Qi knew that they had that sign, but he didn't expect that his brother Yan would act so quickly. He is worthy of being called Brother Yan!
However, he felt that the gentle tone was scarier than seeing a ghost!
Shen Youan's face turned red when he heard Zhao Qi's cough. He could only silently put down his left hand that was holding the bowl, quietly reached under the table, and twisted Lin Yan's waist.
Lin Yan tilted her head and looked at him who was touching her quietly and making a fuss. She didn't feel any pain at all. It was more like, um... flirting?
Shen Youan: ? ? Even though I didn't use much force, you shouldn't be so ungrateful and provocative!
After a long while, Shen Youan finally ate everything in the bowl, and warned Lin Yan with his eyes not to take any more food because he was full.
A smile flashed across Lin Yan's eyes and he nodded slightly. He knew that he couldn't eat anymore. During this period, he had been measuring Shen Youan's food intake.
After dinner, Zhao Qi took the initiative to wash the dishes. Huang Guang felt a little uncomfortable in the quiet atmosphere, so he followed him.
…………
The next day
Although the re-planned route is a bit winding and the roads are narrow, at least the car can pass smoothly.
On the way, everyone encountered a small group of zombies. There was only one low-level zombie in the group, and the others all grew crystal cores.
Primary zombies are a little harder to deal with than low-level zombies, but it’s not that bad.
Shen Youan sat in the passenger seat, looking at the clean crystal core in his hand, rubbing it gently with his fingertips, and then carefully counted the crystal cores in his pocket. There were nine in total.
There were 10 of them in total, but Cancan didn't wake up... No, he was in a daze the day before yesterday, and he remembered that everyone except him and Lin Yan was caught in the rain.
Moreover, he mentioned this matter a few words when chatting with Lin Yan last night.
Although he was an exception and didn't need to get wet in the rain, it was speculated that it was because of the red light that his supernatural powers were awakened.
So what about Cancan?
Shen Youan didn't have time to think further.
Sudden.
The loud "bang" sound startled everyone in the car.
Following the sound, I saw several human corpses falling from a tall building not far away, and the bodies all landed on an abandoned van.
The sound attracted all the zombies nearby. Shen Youan looked at the increasing number of zombies and realized that something was wrong.
"Go to the path on the right, quickly."
As soon as the words came out, Lin Yan turned the steering wheel and drove into the alley.
Huang Guang and his companions at the back were smart enough to catch up smoothly.
Several cars drove along the path and finally got out successfully. Shen Youan looked at the group of zombies behind him through the rearview mirror.
I don’t know if I was seeing things, but there was a zombie wearing a black cloak standing in front of the group of zombies, staring at them.
"Wow, why did so many zombies suddenly appear?"
Zhao Qi said with some fear, this is too exaggerated, can a few corpses attract so many zombies?
During the time they were on the run, they had never seen such a large group of zombies, probably at least a few hundred of them.
For a moment, no one answered Zhao Qi's words, or rather, no one knew how to answer, it was so shocking.
"It's getting foggy"
Shen Youan looked through the car window at the layers of gray mist, and felt even more uneasy.
"Prepare to get off"
Lin Yan drove the car for nearly a kilometer. Seeing that the fog was getting thicker and thicker, he could hardly see the road ahead, so he was forced to stop in front of a two-story villa.
Everyone walked into the villa. It was very clean inside and seemed to have maintained the same appearance as before the apocalypse. But the more it was like that, the more frightened everyone became.
"Keep your distance, be careful"
After Lin Yan finished speaking, he took the lead to check the villa, and the last one to go was Huang Guang.
After a thorough inspection, it seemed that they were overthinking it, as there was nothing in the villa.
With a casual glance, Shen Youan saw a dark shadow standing at the stairs over there. They had clearly seen that place just now.
Faintly, he seemed to see the face of the black shadow again, but it was only half a second. Shen Youan's brain was thinking rapidly, his eyes paused, and he hesitated for a while.
“You divide this among them.”
Shen Youan took out all the crystal cores he had on him and stuffed them into Lin Yan's hands, asking him to distribute them.
"Where are you going?"
Lin Yan looked at him and saw that he seemed to be busy, so he asked without showing any strange expression.
"I'll go upstairs and take a look."
After saying that, Shen Youan walked towards the stairs, jogged a few steps after turning the corner, came to the second floor, walked through the living room, and arrived at the balcony door.
The fog was getting thicker and thicker, and even the balcony area was difficult to see, but Shen Youan was sure that there was no one he was chasing on the balcony.
Shen Youan felt a chill on his back. He turned around and saw that the person he was chasing was just a few meters behind him... No, he was not a human. His eyes were grayish-white. He had turned into a zombie.
Shen Youan looked at Ling Yan who was standing there motionless. Although his expression was cold, he did not seem to be about to attack him. He hesitated for half a second and slowly shouted:
"Brother Ling Yan"
As far as he could remember, Ling Yan was the son of his uncle after his mother remarried. He had met him a few times, but they were not familiar with each other and neither of them liked each other very much.
Ling Yan looked at the person in front of him and was a little surprised to see that he was not afraid of him.
After all, he knew Li An's character too well. He was as timid as a mouse when encountering problems, but he was a bully at home. He usually acted like an idiot because of his wealth.
Shen Youan looked at the expressionless man in front of him, unable to guess what he was thinking, and slowly spoke again:
"What do you find me for?"
When Ling Yan heard this, a rare hint of confusion appeared in his calm eyes. He didn't know that although he deliberately let Li An see his face clearly, he never thought that he had the courage to catch up with him.
As expected, Li An should yell and then disappear, making the group think that Li An was lying and then sow discord.
With Li An's personality, it would be hard for people to like him.
Thinking of this, Ling Yan carefully looked at Shen Youan again to see if he was isolated by the group. Unfortunately, his face was rosy and he looked healthy. He was also a little... pretty? Good-looking?
"You still can't speak?"
Ling Yan: ???
If Ling Yan hadn't seen Shen Youan's clear and sincere eyes, he would have thought that the person in front of him was mocking him for being mute.
"meeting"
Ling Yan hadn't spoken for a long time, and his voice was very hoarse. It couldn't be said to be pleasant, but it was okay.
"So you came to me to... kill me?"
Shen Youan hesitated for a moment before saying the second half of his sentence. After all, they had been at odds before, and now it was the end of the world, and Ling Yan had turned into a zombie again. It was inevitable...
Thinking of this, Shen Youan inadvertently took two steps back.
Ling Yan listened to his words and his eyes paused. Kill him? Although he didn't like him, he wouldn't kill him because of that relationship.
Looking at the person in front of him, who slowly took two steps back, Ling Yan felt that he was still as stupid as before. He wanted to kill him, so how could he still be standing now?
Thinking of this, Ling Yan slowly raised his foot and moved closer to Shen Youan, but every time he moved a step, Shen Youan moved a step.
Ling Yan stared at those beautiful, blinking eyes and felt that they were in vain on him.
Then, Ling Yan stretched out his hand, and several crystal cores appeared in his palm.
"Stupid, nourish your brain"
Ling Yan handed the crystal core to Shen Youan. Shen Youan first took a look at his hand, which was no different from that of an ordinary person, then looked at Ling Yan's expressionless face. After hesitating for a few seconds, he reached out to take it.
If you get scolded, it shouldn't be in vain.
Shen Youan, who had obtained the crystal core, smiled and said sincerely:
"Thank you brother"
Ling Yan listened to his clear voice, and his heart, which was dead and motionless, seemed to be struck. The prejudice he had originally held seemed to disappear into nothingness at this moment.
Then, Ling Yan stared at the several crystal cores in Shen Youan's hand and thought for a second. Would they not be enough?
"repair"
Ling Yan took out some more crystal cores and handed them to the person in front of him.
"Thank you, brother. You are so kind."
Shen Youan was a little surprised. Although he knew that Ling Yan was calling him stupid, he had a crystal core.
Ling Yan looked into his beautiful eyes that seemed to glow, listened to his clumsy yet happy thanks, paused, and thought, forget it...
Ling Yan took a few steps closer to the person, silently took out the crystal core from the space, and put it into Shen Youan's arms.
All the crystal cores that had just been obtained in the space today were given away. Ling Yan looked at the crystal cores piled in someone's arms, and thought, well... this should be enough.
Although he didn't know how this idiot in front of him suddenly grew such a pair of beautiful eyes, and why he found them so pleasing to the eye.
But Ling Yan didn't care about these things and just considered it as fulfilling his duty.
Shen Youan looked at the crystal cores in his arms, feeling a little dizzy. "Brother, you are so awesome!"
“Don’t use too much”
Ling Yan listened to his flattery without changing his expression, but he felt a little touched. Then he was afraid that he was too stupid and would absorb too many crystal cores and explode to death, so he opened his mouth to remind him.
"knew"
"Um"
Ling Yan responded indifferently, listened to the footsteps coming from the stairs, and prepared to leave.
Although this is one of his territories, he originally wanted to teach these trespassing humans a lesson, but now, forget it, just give this idiot in front of him a place to stay.
Shen Youan watched him leave with a black cloak on his back, and suddenly thought of something. He called out to him, "Brother, there are some things I can't use. Can you give them to my friends?"
Ling Yan paused, looked back at the fair face, and said two words lightly:
"whatever"
Just as he was about to turn around, Ling Yan suddenly remembered something, "live in the master bedroom on the second floor."
Because that room is the best.
"Got it, bye brother."
Shen Youan smiled at him and said obediently.
Ling Yan's gray eyes returned to the normal color of human pupils, "Goodbye"
After he left, Shen Youan stared at the gray fog for a while, then curled his lips and smiled foolishly.
The reason why he chased after him was, firstly, because Ling Yan looked very much like his former brother, and secondly, because he recognized that he was the Ling Yan in his memory.
But now... Ling Yan is his brother! He's super good to him, and the crystal core in his arms is proof of that!
"An'an"
Lin Yan stood at the stairs, looking at the person who was standing there obediently with a happy aura all over his body, and the uneasiness in his heart was finally swept away.
He had already divided up those crystal cores and wanted to go upstairs to find someone, but he was afraid that Shen Youan wanted to get rid of him, and if he followed him up so soon, it would make him unhappy.
So he waited downstairs for a long time, but no one came down. Then he remembered the strange look on Shen Youan's face when he came up, so he came up hesitantly.
