Black Cat: “The person you’re looking for is inside the school bus. There are a lot of zombies in there.”
Ji Xiao opened the door and got off with his red-tasseled spear.
Liang Qiujian quickly got off too, ran to his side, and grabbed his hand: “What are you doing?”
“Saving someone.”
“Let me do it. You get back in the car.”
Liang Qiujian took the spear from his hand, directly flipped the zombies blocking the door, and charged into the school bus.
Ji Xiao walked to the side of the bus and looked through the window at the scene inside: “Which one is him? What’s his name?”
“Crash—”
The window finally shattered.
Black Cat: “The one about to jump out is Zhong Tian.”
A slender-built boy jumped down, stumbled, and Ji Xiao reached out to steady him.
Zhong Tian adjusted his slightly crooked glasses and said in a soft voice: “Thanks.”
Those who hadn’t run far heard the commotion and came running back, extremely concerned about Zhong Tian.
“Zhong Tian, glad you’re okay.”
“We were all scared just now; we ran instinctively.”
“Zhong…”
Zhong Tian turned to look at his panting classmates, expressionless: “I’m fine. Qin Yue and the others are still on the bus. Can you go help them?”
“Well… I ran too fast just now. Got a side stitch.”
“I twisted my ankle…”
“I…”
Zhong Tian looked away from them, a faint, mocking smile curling at the corner of his lips.
Soon, Liang Qiujian came out with four boys, his face dark as he strode toward Ji Xiao: “Didn’t I tell you to stay in the car?”
Liang Qiujian: “…” Hold it. Can’t lose his temper at him.
This was his idol.
Must hold it.
The boy who claimed to have a side stitch suddenly exclaimed: “You’re Zhang Xiao, right? I’ve seen you in that general role. I’m your fan, I…”
Liang Qiujian glared at him viciously: “He’s not.”
The boy was startled: “Really not?”
“No.”
The boy looked at Ji Xiao: “But he really looks like him… right?” He turned to his companions for support.
“Should be him, I think.”
“I think so too.”
“It’s him.”
Ji Xiao: “I’m not.”
Liang Qiujian sighed in relief.
Boy: “Then… our school bus is broken. Your car is so big, could you…”
Ji Xiao: “No.”
Liang Qiujian added: “The bus isn’t broken. The zombies are dealt with. Throw them out and you can continue driving.”
“We don’t know how to drive…”
“That’s your problem.”
“Help us to the end. In this world, shouldn’t we help each other?”
Liang Qiujian kept a straight face: “Wasn’t helping you kill the zombies enough?”
Luckily, they had either run away or stayed in the bus; no one noticed his car had descended from the sky.
Boy: “But we can’t drive.”
“None of my business.”
Liang Qiujian grabbed Ji Xiao’s hand: “Let’s go.”
Ji Xiao pulled Zhong Tian along: “Come with me.”
Liang Qiujian: “?”
He stopped, turned back, and glared fiercely: “You’re taking him? Do you know him?”
Ji Xiao let go of Zhong Tian’s hand, his eyes clear: “His voice is nice.”
Liang Qiujian darkened.
Zhong Tian said flatly: “I have companions.”
Ji Xiao said indifferently: “Then bring them along too.”
Zhong Tian: “Thanks. My companions are the four people that gentleman just saved.”
The boys who had come back were displeased: “Zhong Tian, aren’t you forgetting us? We’re together. We’re your companions too.”
Zhong Tian shook his head: “No, you’re not.”
“Are you holding a grudge because we ran? In that situation, if we didn’t run, we’d have been eaten!”
“Zhong Tian, you can’t be so…”
Zhong Tian ignored them and walked toward the off-road RV.
Qin Yue, gentle and handsome: “I can drive.”
“Alright, you five squeeze into the cab. If you can’t fit, get on the roof. Just don’t come to the back.”
“Okay.”
Black Cat: “Understood. The irises and voiceprints of you and Liang Qiujian have been entered into the car’s system. Flight mode and extreme speed mode are disabled. Only you two can activate them.”
Ji Xiao: [Mm.]
This car had plenty of interior space; the cab’s passenger seat alone could fit three adult men, and the gap between the seats could fit two more. Zhong Tian’s group of five had more than enough room in the cab.
The “abandoned” few tried to follow, but Liang Qiujian didn’t even turn his head. He raised his spear, and a cold, gleaming metal wall rose from the ground, blocking their path.
Only after a while did the metal disappear.
Left with no choice, they returned to the school bus.
In the driver’s seat.
Qin Yue sat behind the wheel, studied it briefly, then gripped it: “Not much different.”
Zhong Tian examined the dashboard: “The tech looks extremely advanced. Look at the speedometer; minimum is 100, maximum is a thousand.”
Qin Yue glanced back. The cab was separated from the rear by a closed door; he couldn’t see anything.
“They’re pretty trusting, letting us on and handing over the wheel.”
Zhong Tian: “That muscular man is very strong, and he has powers. They’re not afraid.”
The three people already crammed into the passenger seat lay sprawled, one of them saying: “Don’t worry about it. At least we’ve latched onto some strong backs.”
Qin Yue walked to the door and knocked: “You two, where are we heading?”
No answer.
Zhong Tian looked around, found a protruding round bead under the rearview mirror, and pressed it.
A female electronic voice: “Connecting call.”
Soon, Ji Xiao’s voice sounded: “What’s up?”
Zhong Tian: “Where do you two want to go?”
Ji Xiao: “Anywhere. If you don’t want to move, staying put is fine. Over and out.”
Zhong Tian: “…”
Qin Yue returned to the driver’s seat: “Where to?”
Zhong Tian sat beside him: “Let’s go to B City. It’s the capital. I believe many people will head there. By the way, will me sitting here affect your driving?”
“No, it’s spacious. My hands are steady.”
“You’re from B City, right? Remember the route?”
“Roughly. And there are road signs. No worries.”
“Let’s go.”
…
In the back.
Ji Xiao looked at Liang Qiujian, who had been silent on the sofa since coming in. He poked him with his foot: “Are you angry? Captain?”
Liang Qiujian ignored him, struggling to suppress his displeasure, afraid that if he opened his mouth, he’d offend his idol.
“Go take a shower. You just fought zombies. You stink.”
“…”
Liang Qiujian looked up and glared at him.
Ji Xiao: “Why so fierce?” He pointed to a door at the end: “The bathroom’s there. Just press the button above the showerhead, and water comes out.”
Liang Qiujian took a deep breath, got up, and went to the bathroom.
As soon as he stripped off his clothes, the door opened and Ji Xiao walked in.
He quickly turned to face the wall: “What are you doing?”
“Taking a shower. I want to rinse off too.”
“… Then you go first. I’ll… later.”
“Together. We’re both men. What’s there to be afraid of?”
Liang Qiujian closed his eyes, then opened them again: “It’s too cramped in here.”
The back of the car housed a bathroom and a toilet, split in two, so both spaces were small.
Even though it was tall enough that they wouldn’t hit their heads, it was still narrow.
At least now, pressed against the wall, he could feel Ji Xiao standing very close.
Ji Xiao laughed softly, stripped off his clothes, and pressed the shower button.
Clean, fresh water poured down, soaking them both.
“Did you know? This shower is high-tech. No water tank. Inside the spray head is a special material. When you press the button, air leaks in… and clean water is produced. Drinkable.”
Liang Qiujian heard this and unconsciously licked his lips.
Sweet.
“Captain, turn around. Scrub my back, will you?”
“…”
Liang Qiujian took a deep breath and slowly turned around.
Ji Xiao was facing the wall, one hand braced against it, his wet head slightly lowered, revealing his long, pale nape and water-beaded back.
Liang Qiujian swallowed.
“What are you standing there for? Scrub.”
“… Okay.”
…
Qin Yue was nervous on his first drive, even at the lowest speed. After a bumpy start, he gradually got the hang of it and dared to speed up a bit on clear roads.
Zhong Tian leaned back: “At this rate, we should reach B City soon.”
Qin Yue: “I wonder if we have enough fuel.”
Zhong Tian smiled faintly: “Did you see a fuel gauge?”
Qin Yue glanced around: “Damn, there’s no fuel gauge. What about the accelerator?”
“No electricity meter either. Even if it uses some other energy source, there’s no consumption indicator. I’m really curious. If I ask, I wonder if they’ll let me study it.”
“…”
…
After showering in the back.
Ji Xiao changed into a comfortable soft robe and lay on the bed.
Liang Qiujian, wearing a loose pair of shorts and a T-shirt that Ji Xiao had given him, sat on the sofa, staring darkly at him as he played on a tablet: “You said you wouldn’t use your powers recklessly…”
“I didn’t. I was bored, so I swapped for a tablet. You needed a change of clothes, so I got you a few sets. Relax, they fit perfectly. Aren’t you comfortable?”
“…”
Ji Xiao suddenly put down the tablet and looked at his legs: “By the way, you reacted earlier, right? Has it gone down yet?”
Liang Qiujian’s face reddened slightly as he turned a little: “It’s… a normal reaction…”
Given the situation, if he hadn’t reacted, that would be abnormal!
“Right,” Ji Xiao lifted his robe, “Want to… help each other out?”
Liang Qiujian’s breath hitched.
Ji Xiao smiled: “Just purely helping each other. Up for it?”
Liang Qiujian’s expression tightened: “If I say no, will you go to those in the front?”
“Yeah. Zhong Tian’s voice is so nice; I bet he’d sound great moaning…”
“Shut up.”
Liang Qiujian stood up and walked toward him, gritting his teeth: “I’ll help you!”
All for the sake of not letting his idol get defiled!
Ji Xiao: “You’re so strong. I bet your grip is too. Take it easy.”
“Shut up.”
“…”
When they said “help each other”, that was all it was.
Liang Qiujian’s sweat dripped drop by drop, his dark eyes slightly red, and he began to question life.
Why?
He was already giving it his all. How could Ji Xiao still be so fierce?
…
In the cab.
Zhong Tian had fallen asleep leaning on Qin Yue’s shoulder.
Qin Yue simply wrapped an arm around him, making it easier to steer.
Occasionally, they encountered moving vehicles or wandering zombies, but he overtook them all.
Any zombie blocking the road was simply rammed.
Until they reached a stretch of collapsed road. He slammed on the brakes and pressed the communication button.
“Connecting call.”
Ji Xiao’s panting voice came through: “Huh~ What’s up?”
Qin Yue said quickly: “The road ahead is badly caved in. Can’t get through.”
“Ten minutes.”
Click.
The call ended.
Zhong Tian groggily opened his eyes: “Qin Yue, are you watching a porno again?”
Qin Yue darkened: “I’m not. It wasn’t me panting.”
Zhong Tian: “Then who?”
Qin Yue: “…”
The three people in the passenger seat all turned to look toward the back.
Zhong Tian: “…” Fully awake.
He squinted: “There seem to be zombies in that collapsed pit. They’re trying to climb up.”
Qin Yue: “No problem. One by one, I’ll knock them back into the pit.”
Ten minutes later.
The door opened.
Liang Qiujian appeared with a dark face. Though he walked steadily, Qin Yue noticed his slightly trembling legs and tactfully looked away, pulling Zhong Tian to get out of the driver’s seat.
