After the meal, the two brothers even felt that their abilities had improved by quite a bit.

The two of them only thought that it was because they were full and refreshed, but they didn't realize that the abnormally delicious food was made with extraordinary ingredients.

After all, the appearance of spirit dishes was similar to ordinary dishes, the only difference was that they didn't contain the spirit energy of heaven and earth.

After the meal, it was the daily "table chat", which was also a habit that the Gong Family's villa had developed during this period of time.

In the past, if there were no outsiders, Long Xiaotian and Liu Fuquan would usually ask Mochizuki Miyagi about the bottlenecks they encountered in their cultivation and let Mochizuki Miyagi give them pointers.

Today, with the Liu family brothers present, naturally they couldn't talk about "cultivation".

However, they could ask for a lot of information. After all, after the outbreak of the apocalypse, the few of them hadn't left the villa, so they could only guess what the outside world had become.

However, it was clear that the reality was much crueler than their "guesses".

In just three days, from the fact that the D Municipal Military Area Command had already given up on the rescue of A City, it could be seen that A City had fallen.

The current A City, especially the places closer to the city center, could only be described as "hell on earth".

However, there were still many survivors in the city who were still living in their homes, and they still believed that the government would send people to rescue them.

Only those who were astute knew that in today's world, they could only rely on themselves to live to see the sun tomorrow.

Back then, the troops sent by D City were the first to rescue a few high schools in A City, because these students were the future of the country.

Then there were the families of the soldiers. They didn't do this out of selfishness, but because their fearlessness had won the honor for their loved ones.

After the apocalypse, the social system had already collapsed, but they still fought at the forefront, relying on their lofty beliefs and fearless spirit of sacrifice.

Shouldn't they receive the treatment they deserved?

Of course, this was also to let the soldiers have no worries, so that they could devote themselves to saving the people and the country.

After that, there were the survivors who were lucky enough to encounter a rescue team passing by and were rescued.

The Liu family brothers did not encounter any rescue. This information was obtained from other survivors.

As for where the other survivors heard the news, Liu Junyan only knew that after the outbreak of the apocalypse, the normal means of communication had been paralyzed.

Therefore, the army used an old radio station that had been abandoned for many years to send out a refuge broadcast.

However, only a few survivors who had old-fashioned radios could hear the broadcast. The rest could only rely on word of mouth.

From the continuous broadcast, people knew that the survivor bases were the D Municipal Military Area Command in the north of A City and the X City Base, which was six big cities away from A City.

Among them, the D Municipal Military Area Command was limited in size and could only take in another 10,000 survivors, while X City could take in at least 200,000 to 300,000 people.

Those who were more far-sighted would naturally choose to go to a large survival base like X City.

Liu Junyan and the others were originally going back to the capital, so unlike most people, they chose to go north. Their first destination was the D Municipal Military Area Command in the north.

In fact, in addition to Xiao Yinrong and her sister, there were some other people who were going to D City with them.

However, before they left the city, these people learned that Liu Junxing had awakened a space ability and collected a lot of supplies before leaving A City.

They began to have ideas about Liu Junxing. For their own survival, the ugliness of human nature was revealed at that moment.

Fortunately, their brother who had awakened a fire ability was there, so they were not forced to give up the supplies that they had collected with great difficulty.

However, because of this, they fell out with those people.

Xiao Yinrong and her sister chose to continue with them mainly because they knew that Liu Junxing had a space ability.

Liu Junyan agreed to go with them also because of their abilities. It could be said that from the beginning, they had a relationship of using each other.

"What are you going to do next?"

Liu Junyan could see that these people from the Gong family were not ordinary people. They certainly would not stay here for too long.

Therefore, he thought that maybe he could invite them to go with him. "Do you want to go to D City with us?"

"Yes, we can take care of each other on the way. I am a space ability user, and my brother is a fire ability user."

Compared with Liu Junyan's calm personality, Liu Junxing's personality was more like Gong Moyun's. They were both sunny and full of vitality.

As soon as they entered the relatively safe Gong family villa, the smile on his face did not disappear.

However, after having the experience of being targeted by people with a special ability, he still dared to tell them that he had a space ability without hiding it.

Should it be said that his vigilance was too low, or that he really trusted Mochizuki Miyagi and the others too much?

Obviously, Liu Junxing belonged to the latter. Although he was young, it did not mean that he was inexperienced.

After all, he was a member of the Liu family in the capital, so he still had a discerning eye.

He could see that these people from the Gong family did not care about his ability and supplies at all.

Moreover, it seemed that there were also space ability users among them.

This was because they did not see any stored food in the villa, but these people were obviously not worried about this at all.

It could only be said that they must have a lot of storage in places that could not be seen.

Of course, since they dared to take them in, Mochizuki Miyagi was not afraid that they could not deal with them.

If they let them in and performed well, everyone would be safe for the night.

If they performed "badly", then they would just have to slit their throats.

Fortunately, these two brothers had been "well-behaved" so far.

The two sides sized each other up silently.

Gong Moyun, who was also showing his big white teeth, glanced at the expression on his sister's face from the corner of his eye. Seeing that she did not seem to want him to "shut up", he immediately responded.

"Actually, we are planning to set off for D City tomorrow."

Ever since he learned that these two brothers were from the Liu family in the capital, and that one of them was one of the male leads of the novel, Gong Moyun wanted nothing more than to "call each other brothers" and get information out of them.

Not to mention that the other party had taken the initiative to invite them.

He was very happy to travel with Liu Junyan and the others. He was now very interested in why these two people appeared in A City during the apocalypse, instead of C City as written in the original novel.

Therefore, in order to get the "information" he wanted, it was necessary to build a good relationship with them.

"Wow ~ That's really a coincidence, then let's go together ~"

Liu Junxing's eyes had already become starry. If he could go with them, then the survival rate on the road would jump up.

And from the meaning of his brother's words just now, he also wanted to invite them to go together.

Recalling Lady Miyazaki's super cool "abilities" in the afternoon, Liu Junxing had already silently raised the girl who was in the same grade as him to the height of an "idol".

And he also wanted to find an opportunity to ask her if she wanted to accept any underlings.

With such a "boss" protecting him, he felt that he could do whatever he wanted in the apocalypse.

If the "boss" was willing to agree to go to the capital with them, then it would be even more perfect.

Obviously, this child also loved to daydream like Little Brother Gong Mo Yun. He always liked to make calculations in his heart.

Pia.

"Miss Gong, I think you can consider it."

Liu Junyan tried his best to put on a very "friendly" appearance.

He hoped to leave a good impression on the other party. Even if he couldn't rope in such a strong person, it was also good to make a good impression.

"There's no need to consider …" Mochizuki Miyagi, whose face was expressionless, said in an indifferent tone.

"Pia", Liu Junxing's little abacus in his heart shattered.

To be honest, although he knew that the other party had no obligation to go with them, he felt very disappointed ~

If the other party was willing to agree, then he still had a chance to curry favor with the other party and be their underling.

But the other party didn't seem to give him a chance to perform at all ~ He really wanted to squat in the corner and draw circles.

Second Young Master Liu had rarely been rejected by anyone in his life. Other than that "green tea bitch" senior, Dong Xiaxue, it was the eldest daughter of the Gong family in front of him.

If Mochizuki Miyagi knew that in Liu Junxing's mind, he was actually compared to the female lead, Dong Xiaxue, he would probably "hehe".

However, to everyone's surprise, Mochizuki Miyagi paused for a moment before speaking again.

"We're not in the same profession. We can escort you to the military district in D City, and we can even find a way to help you contact your family in the capital. As long as you promise us a reward, it will be enough."

Not to mention escorting them to D City, more importantly, in a situation where communication methods were completely paralyzed, even the military's special communication system was not known to work.

She actually said that she could help them contact their family, and the reward was only a promise.

Liu Junyan knew that the other party was promising them a huge benefit.

However, the "promise" she mentioned was probably not simple. However, what Mochizuki Miyagi said next was not something simple.

Liu Junyan also suspected that the other party was actually trying to help them out of kindness, but she couldn't bring herself to put down her face and propose such a condition that was unilaterally beneficial to them.

Mochizuki Miyagi: "The 'promise' I want is that no matter what happens in the future, you can't stand on the opposite side of us. Of course, that's under the premise that it's in line with benevolence and morality and doesn't violate the interests of both parties."

"Thank you for thinking so highly of us. Does this count as an alliance?"

The businessman's keen sense of smell was completely stimulated at this moment.

Since they couldn't stand on the opposite side, then they were allies, right?

Anyone would be happy to become an ally of the strong instead of an enemy, not to mention that the other party was backed by the Gong family, which he had heard a little about in the upper-class society.

It could be said that this "deal" was completely profitable!

Liu Junyan felt that he had one less future enemy. How could Mochizuki Miyagi not feel the same way?

Since this person might be on the female lead's side in the future, regardless of whether the female lead and her would be on opposite sides like in the novel, it was always good to have an "insurance" in advance.

Gong Moyun, who watched the whole "negotiation" from the side, couldn't help but look at his sister with a bit of disbelief in his eyes.

Speaking of which, did his sister's IQ improve by leaps and bounds recently? She actually achieved what he wanted to do in advance?!

In vain, he had been careful to not get close to one of the male leads in the novel, which would make his sister unhappy.

2025/2/14

00:00

It was ironic that after midnight, it was the Lantern Festival on the lunar calendar.

At this time in previous years, this country should be full of the festive atmosphere.

However, on this year's Lantern Festival, except for the full moon, the entire night seemed "cold as water".

The world at night no longer belonged to humans, but to zombies.

Especially at this time on the national highway to the south of D City, which was connected to A City, it could be said that heads were moving.

In addition to the abandoned vehicles piled up in twos and threes on the national highway, there were walking corpses aimlessly moving on the road like headless flies.

It was like the "Hundred Ghosts Parade".

What stood out in the moonlight was a man sitting on a white tiger that was as tall as a one-story building.

He was wearing a white dress that was incompatible with this era, with long silver hair that reached his waist hanging behind him.

The man had a beautiful appearance like a jade carving, when his eyes were slightly closed, only a touch of golden light could be seen swaying below.

He didn't have a trace of human breath, and the mutated tiger under him didn't have a trace of human breath.

Those zombies without intelligence seemed to have instinctively felt the threat, and actually wandered aimlessly, automatically retreating.

The man didn't seem to care about the rotting corpses that wandered one foot away. His face was comfortable and calm as if he was leisurely strolling in the moonlight garden.

Tonight's moon seemed to be the only "light" guiding the way for the survivors.

Xiao Yinzhen and Xiao Yinrong, who had fled in a panic in front of the Gong family's gate, were unfamiliar with the place and people, so they couldn't find any empty houses nearby that they could "live in".

The two women didn't dare to camp in the wild, so they had no choice but to "hurry" through the night.

They were traveling on the national highway, which wasn't easy to travel on. After all, everyone used the highway to escape, so there were naturally many "accidents" on the road.

As the sky became darker, the wandering zombies on the road also became more and more concentrated.

After much difficulty, they finally entered D City, but before they could even drive one kilometer, the scene in front of them finally made them feel completely hopeless.

The densely packed wall of "flesh" formed by zombies, no matter how sturdy their MPV was, it couldn't break a bloody path.

Seeing that the MPV couldn't move forward anymore, the walking corpses that heard the sound were approaching them, and the ones behind them were already banging on the MPV's car.

Fear pervaded the entire MPV, but they didn't dare to make a sound.

They could only tightly cover their mouths with their eyes wide open, and stare fixedly at the countless palms that were banging on the MPV's window.

In addition to fear, hatred also grew crazily in Xiao Yinrong's heart. Wasn't it all because of that girl that they were in such a situation?

If she could survive today, then she would definitely not rest until she was dead.

Just as the MPV's window was about to shatter, a white figure leaped into their line of sight, as if it was destined that the sisters' lives weren't going to end yet.

Wherever she went, the zombies immediately retreated as if they had seen their "nemesis", including the zombies that had surrounded them in layers.

Before Xiao Yinzhen and Xiao Yinrong could breathe a sigh of relief, they saw that the approaching figure was actually a White Tiger that was even bigger than an elephant. For a moment, all the hair on their bodies stood on end.

It wasn't until the White Tiger walked to the side of the MPV that they saw a person sitting on top of the White Tiger.

They didn't know if their eyes were playing tricks on them, but before they could clearly see the person's appearance, the scene in front of them shook.

When they looked again, the man had already gotten down from the White Tiger.

This time, they finally saw the other person's appearance clearly. He was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, a thin sweater, and a shirt. He looked to be about thirty years old, and gave off a refined feeling.

The first impression this man gave was that he was a very easy person to get along with. Feeling that they were saved, the sisters gratefully exchanged greetings with the man.

They found out that this man with the surname Bai was a psychic who came out from the military base to carry out a mission, and that the powerful mutated White Tiger was his partner.

The two of them didn't think much of it and invited him into the MPV.

"Miss Xiao, you're injured?"

When the man with the surname Bai smelled the scent of blood and sensed a trace of extremely pure spiritual power remaining on the wound, the ordinary black eyes behind the glasses couldn't help but squint.

"Yes … But I wasn't scratched by a zombie!"

In the past few days, many survivors were afraid of encountering people with injuries, afraid that they would be suspected of being infected by the virus, Xiao Yinrong hurriedly explained.

"It's all the fault of a selfish girl, I was injured by her ability."

"Oh?!

Ability? "

Hidden in the dim light, his face was somewhat refined, "Is it convenient for you to let me take a look at your wound?"

She watched as the man carefully examined Xiao Yinrong's wound.

Even before the apocalypse, there weren't many men with such a gentle temperament. Although she couldn't see his face clearly, Xiao Yinzhen still had a great interest in this man.

She couldn't help but ask curiously, "What did Mr. Bai do before the apocalypse?"
