Chapter 24: The Heart of People in the Apocalypse 15

The weather was cold. The scenery outside the car window was that of a bleak winter, with a gray sky pressing down on people, making it hard to breathe.

Lou Ling huddled in the car, trying to bury her face in her large down jacket. The down jacket was black and very resistant to dirt. Although she was wearing a large down jacket, she still felt cold after leaving the base. This was probably because ordinary people's bodies were not resistant to cold. Like Lin Baobao and the others, they only needed to wear a thermal underwear and a down jacket to not feel cold.

"Eating a piece of chocolate will make you feel better." Lou Dian, who was driving, handed her a piece of chocolate and turned up the heat in the car.

Lou Ling took it and looked at the packaging. She found that she didn't recognize the words on it. It was a foreign product… Then she silently tore open the packaging and ate it. The chocolate tasted good, the cream was smooth and sweet all the way to her heart.

Lou Ling slowly savored the chocolate and glanced at the rearview mirror. "Brother, that car is following us again," she reminded him.

Lou Dian glanced at the rearview mirror, a hint of coldness flashing across his eyes.

After driving for a whole morning, the car stopped when they entered a county. Lou Ling got out of the car and moved her stiff limbs, still feeling extremely cold. At this time, the van behind them also drove over. When the car stopped, Lou Ling saw six men getting out of the car. She curled her lips in disdain and secretly held the Tang saber hanging from her waist.

The man at the head of the van was the one who had bullied Grandpa Mo and his grandson yesterday and was later taken away by Major General Lei. It was said that as punishment, they were asked to repair the wall of the base for fifteen days, but they used food to replace the punishment. There were cases where food was used to replace punishment, but very few people would do such a thing. After all, food was the most precious thing in the apocalypse. However, in this kind of extremely cold weather, it was easy to get frostbite on the exposed skin when working. Unless they were really unable to obtain food, very few people would take the initiative to help build the base.

Seeing their resentful eyes, Lou Ling knew without a doubt that they resented them for meddling in their business, which resulted in them being punished by Major General Lei. As for the one called "Brother Biao", they had become enemies at first sight. Now that he had followed them, he must be here for revenge. Thinking of this, Lou Ling began to think about how to get rid of them.

However, seeing that they only stared at them with cold and fierce eyes for a while before turning around and entering a house in the county, Lou Ling also put away her hostility and walked towards the house next door with Lou Dian.

"Brother Biao, when are we going to make our move?" A burly man with an unattractive appearance asked the leader of their group while pushing down the tables and chairs to collect useful supplies.

Chen Biao was a security guard in a company before the apocalypse. He earned a meager salary and could be said to be living at the bottom of society. After the apocalypse arrived, he found that he had an incredible ability to shoot fireballs. Not only him, but another security guard in the company also had an incredible ability. So the two of them discussed and decided to form a small team with the other six security guards in the same dormitory who had not mutated. When people were still hiding at home, they had already come out to collect supplies, enjoying the pleasure brought by their abilities, and living a carefree life.

They liked this changed world. Although there were man-eating monsters - zombies - the strong were respected. Without the constraints of the law, they could kill and set fires without going to jail or paying for their lives. Even beautiful women and girls could be theirs as long as they wanted. It was much better than before the apocalypse when they were restrained.

Chen Biao sneered. "Don't worry, I'll tell you later. Besides, they probably don't know that this county was very prosperous before the apocalypse, so there are the most zombies here. They'll have a hard time then." Thinking of how the man who looked like a pretty boy yesterday had forced him back with just a knife, his face immediately turned ugly. What was worse was that the fall had made him lie in bed in pain all night, and it was only this morning that he felt better. This made him hate Lou Dian and Lou Ling to the core. From the first time they met in the city and the inexplicable car accident, this grudge had been settled.

He had originally wanted to lie in bed to recuperate today. When he heard from his subordinates that the man had taken his sister out of the base, he thought that it would be more convenient to get rid of them outside the base. Finally, he hurriedly called a few brothers and drove after them. Although he was a little worried when he saw that they were driving further and further away, he thought that they had six big men, three of whom had abilities. He didn't believe that they couldn't deal with those two people.

Another short and stout man came over and said with a flattering smile, "Brother Biao, can we keep that woman? That woman looks clean and tidy. The brothers haven't had a good time with a woman since we entered the base."

Chen Biao smiled and scolded, "That woman is a tigress. Her personality doesn't match her innocent appearance. Aren't you afraid that she'll kick your balls?"

Thinking of the miserable state of the two brothers yesterday, all the men present subconsciously felt a pain in their balls.

"Hey, Brother Biao, the more fierce a woman is, the more exciting it is to tame her!" One of the men said with a wicked smile.

As soon as he said this, everyone burst into laughter.


Lou Ling noticed that Lou Dian's expression suddenly changed slightly, a hint of ruthlessness flashing across his eyes. She looked at him in confusion and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lou Dian reached out and straightened the woolen hat on her head. A gentle and soft smile appeared on his face as he said, "It's nothing." Then he took her hand and said, "We may have to stay outside for a few days until you get used to fighting in this weather."

Lou Ling felt a chill run down her spine for a moment. The coldness that surged up from the soles of her feet was very obvious. However, it was quickly replaced by determination. She nodded seriously and said, "Don't worry, I won't hold you back."

Lou Dian chuckled. Seeing that her nose was red from the cold, he took out a pink mask from his space and put it on her. "I don't mind you holding me back. I just hope that you have the ability to protect yourself and are not afraid of any difficulties." Then he lowered his head and placed a very light and gentle kiss on her forehead, as if he was making a vow.

Lou Ling felt a little uncomfortable with such an artistic scene. However, before she could feel uncomfortable for long, Lou Dian had already chosen the training ground he had prepared for her. Then, contrary to his gentle and considerate tone, he pushed her towards the zombies. It was simply insane.

Clang——

The sound of metal hitting the hard concrete floor rang out. Lou Ling's hand went numb from the shock, and she almost lost consciousness. However, she still quickly rolled on the spot, dodging the zombie's grasping hand, then quickly got up and ran out. Feeling a gust of wind with the stench of zombies coming from behind, Lou Ling reached out and grabbed the electric wire that fell in mid-air. With a push of her foot, she leaped five meters away. Then, she grabbed the electric wire with one hand and used the opportunity to turn around. Before the zombie could pounce on her, the Tang saber in her hand had already cut off its head.

The moment the blood splattered, Lou Ling had already retreated a few meters away while grabbing the electric wire, avoiding being affected.

It was only when she realized that she had killed all the dozen or so zombies in this area that she felt sore and painful all over. Her fingers were tightly gripping the electric wire, preventing her from collapsing on the ground. She had already broken out in a layer of sweat. The cold wind blew, making her shiver.

Soon, she was embraced in a warm embrace. Looking up, she saw the man with gentle eyes. Lou Ling looked at the black cape on his body, which looked very cool. She asked suspiciously, "Aren't you cold?"

"I'm not cold." Lou Dian held her waist and led her to a house by the side of the road. "The bodies of ability users have been transformed by their abilities, so they have a certain degree of adaptability to cold and heat." Nature, while changing the ecology, had also transformed the human body, making them more adaptable to extreme cold and heat.

Therefore, nature was always so fair. Humans were not necessarily hopeless. Humans had to find their own way out.

Hearing this, Lou Ling felt a little depressed again. Why wasn't she an ability user? Although she was a little dejected, she quickly adjusted her mood. What was meant to be would be. Lou Ling never forced herself to have things that did not belong to her. This was also the personality trait that Lou Dian admired and hated the most.

He admired her strength and optimism. No matter what kind of desperate situation she was in, she never gave up and could always bring him hope. But he also hated her stubbornness and refusal to rely on him. She never saw him as a man, saying that they would be brother and sister for life, but in the end, she still died for him.

Lou Dian chose a three-story shop by the road and directly helped Lou Ling, who had been fighting for half a day, to the third floor. The third floor was a living room. Although it was a little messy, it had all the furniture and other things.

When the two of them entered the shop, a man hiding in the corner not far away poked his head out and looked. A sinister smile appeared on his face, and then he carefully left.

Lou Dian turned his head and glanced at the man, his long fringe covering the murderous intent in his eyes.

Lou Ling sat on the sofa, holding a bowl of steaming hot mutton soup that Lou Dian had taken out from his space. The delicious and warm mutton soup slid down her throat, making her feel indescribably comfortable. As she drank the mutton soup, she watched as Lou Dian unceremoniously rolled up all the things in the living room and threw them to the side. He then took out a bed, mattress, blanket, and other things from his space and spread them out.

After she had warmed up, Lou Dian entered the bathroom. She only heard the sound of splashing water. Then he opened the door, and white mist emerged from the bathroom.

Lou Ling was dumbfounded. She felt that her brain was not working.

It was not until Lou Dian walked over and pushed her into the bathroom to take a shower that she foolishly asked, "Where did you get the water?"

Lou Dian looked at her as if she was an idiot. "I stored water in my space! Don't tell me you thought I didn't prepare? Just the little bit of water that your classmate's level one ability can condense is not enough. Don't worry, the water in my space is enough for you to take a shower every day for the rest of your life." He rubbed the back of her neck with his finger, his lips moved to her chin, and he kissed her. "I collected a lake of water in the mountains. The water quality is very clear… Hmm, even if it's the apocalypse, I will always let you have a worry-free life."

"…"

Lou Ling didn't know what to say anymore. Finally, after he had enough kisses, he pushed her into the bathroom.

"Do you want me to help you wash up?" Seeing that she was still in a daze, Lou Dian looked down at her, his eyes flashing with beastly excitement.

Lou Ling shuddered and hurriedly rushed in, slamming the door shut.

Down jacket, wool sweater, fleece pants, thermal underwear, underwear, panties…

Listening to the sound of her taking off her clothes, it was so detailed that he could imagine in his mind how those clothes were leaving her body one by one… It was not until he heard the sound of her feet stepping into the bathtub that the gentleness in Lou Dian's eyes was gradually replaced by coldness. He glanced in the direction of the bathroom, then tightened the black windbreaker on his body and left quietly.
