Back to the Apocalypse

Thankfully, Xu Feng’s intentions were to follow Xiao Sa and protect Bai Jing. Even more fortunately, he kept these thoughts in his heart and didn’t publicize them. If Bai Jing, whose heart was smaller than the tip of a needle knew of this, Xu Feng probably wouldn’t be able to live peacefully for a long time in the future.

Li Ran was a psychic ability user. Even if he didn’t use his abilities to scan, his hearing was still more sensitive than others. Right now, his cheeks were on fire, and his expression was full of embarrassment. Looking at Xu Feng’s serious face, he couldn’t help sighing over the fact that ignorance was a blessing. Although he was only eighteen years old and was still a pure young man, thanks to the internet, how could he not understand what was going on?

He glanced at Wu Guoan, then took note of the time. Although Li Ran was still quite young and thin-skinned, he still adjusted his expression and forced on a veneer of calm to say, “Let’s go first. It’s not that early anymore, so we should go get something to eat. Brother Sa and Young Master Bai probably haven’t eaten yet either.”

“Yes, let’s go and get something to eat first.” As soon as Wu Guoan heard this, he rushed down the steps and prepared to go. His pace was frantic as though there was a ghost chasing after him, and he completely forgot that there was now a shortage of supplies. Where were they supposed to go to get this food?

When he arrived downstairs, Wu Guoan finally heaved a sigh of relief. He could only hope that the two people in the room who were now ‘going at it’ didn’t discover that he’d been there. Only, was that possible? He had been too nervous earlier, and the bang of him closing the door was so loud that anyone would be shocked. Wu Guoan’s face was bitter; his intestines were green with regret.

Bai Jing was turned on; hearing the sound of the door opening, he tensed up, kicking Xiao Sa out of bed with his foot. His face that had been flushed with arousal showed a trace of embarrassed anger, and no matter how one looked, it was incredibly alluring, “Your little helper is back.”

Xiao Sa hadn’t had time to defend himself and was kicked head on. He was a little annoyed, but then he looked up and saw the beautiful curves of Bai Jing’s pale body. Displayed before his eyes were Bai Jing’s delicate clavicle, bright and clean skin, and the important parts of his body half hidden and half on display; Xiao Sa’s eyes shone, and he immediately turned into a wolf, pulling his lover tightly into his arms. He heard the sound of the door closing and arrogantly glanced at Bai Jing, “They’re gone again.” He meant that nobody would disturb them now, and he could do whatever he wanted.

Bai Jing dodged sideways, wriggling around in Xiao Sa’s arms. People who were at the brink of desire shouldn’t be provoked; the two of them fought and messed around, and soon rolled together again.

Xiao Sa stroked up and down along his lover’s smooth skin with his hands and finally couldn’t help exclaiming, “It feels so good!”

Bai Jing glared at him angrily, “If you’re going to do it, then do it. Hurry up!”

River crab…

Xiao Sa laughed softly, but there was no way he would respond so soon. He dragged it on and lingered for a long time before finally lifting up his body and entering.

“Look, it’s wet.” He felt like he was being squeezed tightly. Xiao Sa sighed with satisfaction, and his body moved more vigorously.

Bai Jing didn’t know if he should be upset or ashamed; he also enjoyed it a lot, but dammit, could anyone tell him why everyone except him would develop abilities, or failing that, become stronger when they drank water from the spring in his space? Even Xiao Sa’s power went up in ranks after soaking in the spring, but he, the owner of the space, was different. Not only did his skin become smoother, his body became more and more moisturized. Even that place would turn damp when stimulated, as though it was specifically preparing for others to enter. He really had no dignity left!

“Haha!” Xiao Sa no longer teased him and concentrated on the rhythm of their bodies. Provoking his precious lover would ultimately result in his own misfortune. For the sake of his future welfare, he felt that the most urgent thing to do was to feed his baby well.

Two hours later, after being fully satiated, Bai Jing laid there on the bed and didn’t want to move at all. Xiao Sa on the other hand was brimming with energy, the area between his brows expressing his joy and satisfaction.

Xiao Sa was a good man who even knew to help his lover clean up afterwards. He bent over, preparing to pick Bai Jing up.

“Don’t come over!” Bai Jing roared as he glared fiercely at Xiao Sa. It was unknown where he scrounged up the energy from, but he didn’t even take any pajamas before dashing straight into the bathroom and hurriedly locking the door. He thought bitterly that if he let Xiao Sa help him clean up again, he would be a pig!

Xiao Sa innocently looked at the bathroom door but did not insist. He knew he had tossed Little Jing about quite fiercely, but he couldn’t help it. What kind of hot-blooded man would be able to resist when they helped their lover take a bath?!

By the time Bai Jing came out of the bathroom, Xiao Sa had tidied up the room. Seeing that Bai Jing was once again neatly dressed, Xiao Sa’s heart was filled with regret. Once again, he lamented that Bai Jing had an almighty space. How great would it be if he had no clothes!

Bai Jing was too lazy to pay attention to him. He knew what Xiao Sa was thinking just by glancing at his expression. Although he was now relaxed from a soak in the spring, he would never let Xiao Sa know that. Bai Jing went straight back to the bedroom, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep as soon as his head hit the mattress. What he needed to do now was recover!

Xiao Sa touched his nose and knew better than to provoke his lover again. He lightly covered Bai Jing with a quilt and gave him a light butterfly kiss before finally preparing to go to the bathroom to take a bath himself. He perfectly expressed his intimacy and consideration for his lover. Xiao Sa’s mind was very clear about how the accounts were calculated; the little kitten whose fur was all puffed up needed to be petted the right way. If he really provoked Bai Jing, he would get more than he bargained for.

Wu Guoan, Xu Feng, and Li Ran, who had to suffer a lot, wandered outside for several hours looking for food. However, when they saw dry steamed bread and expired pickles, Wu Guoan shriveled up. Although they usually ate these things, while Xu Feng and Li Ran might not know, Wu Guoan knew very well that Bai Jing could start off by handing out instant noodles, and there had even been steak and wine last night. How could they not feel ashamed bringing things like biscuits and steamed bread to them?

Wu Guoan took great pains to scrape together enough points to trade for a can of luncheon meat and two bags of bread.

“Yo! The sun came out from the West today. Stingy Wu’s actually being generous.” Xu Feng was incredibly disdainful about this, but it wasn’t clear if this was out of jealousy or some other emotion.

“Watch your words. I know how culpable we were back then, but we all came from the same place, and I’ve also encountered my own share of difficulties. Now that Brother Sa is back, we need to work together.” Wu Guoan sighed helplessly. He had known that news of Xiao Sa and Bai Jing arriving at K City Base could not be concealed, and that Xu Feng would come looking for them sooner or later, potentially discrediting him right in front of Xiao Sa with no choice for him but to passively listen to it. In that case, he might as well come out and find Xu Feng so that Xu Feng would owe him a favour. Otherwise, he wouldn’t consider such a thankless job.

“Hmph!” Xu Feng gave him a disdainful glance and spoke no more. He was different from Wu Guoan. He was a strength ability user who had nothing to rely on but sheer brute force. Wu Guoan was a fire ability user with strong attack power and had joined the Cheetah Mercenary Corps after he came to the K City Base. Although it couldn’t be said that his life in the Cheetah Mercenary Corps was easy, they were much stronger than ordinary small teams. Xu Feng couldn’t really blame Wu Guoan for anything – after all, everyone aimed for the top – at least Wu Guoan hadn’t hit him while he was down. Only, no matter what, it was true that he had abandoned his former team, and Xu Feng always felt a little residual discomfort about it.

“Stop arguing, you guys. Xiaoxiao still has a sausage saved up that she’s been reluctant to eat this whole time. I’ll go and exchange for it later, what do you guys think?” Li Ran was still young and hurried to act as a mediator. His once round face had become thin and gaunt, his sallow cheeks showing a maturity that was incongruous with his age.

“Ah! Let’s go.” Xu Feng exhaled heavily and patted Li Ran on the shoulder. “Let’s forget about Xiaoxiao for now. It’s about time now, let’s go back and have a look. Brother Sa doesn’t lack these things.”

Li Ran gave a close-mouthed smile. He had just been saying it; that sausage was Xiaoxiao’s lifeblood that she had always said was being saved for her mother to eat. Although her mother was already dead, how could he bear to go and trade for it? He tilted his head and looked at Xu Feng, “How do you know that Brother Sa isn’t lacking for anything?”

Xu Feng laughed, and the gloom on his face dispersed. “You’re still young and don’t know, but Brother Sa is really capable. Before the apocalypse, your elder brother went with him to gather materials.”

Xu Feng’s words suddenly stopped, and his expression turned bitter, “Little Ran.”

Li Ran forced out a smile, “It’s okay, Brother Feng. You don’t need to comfort me. I know that my elder brother definitely isn’t dead. No news is the best news.”

“You child!” Xu Feng felt a little sour in his heart. He didn’t know whether to be happy that Little Ran was sensible or be sad about his perseverance. It had already been half a year since they had been separated from Li Liang, and there had been no news. The situation had been so chaotic back then, and there were so many zombies around him that the chance of survival was almost zero. Looking at the resolved face in front of him, how could he bear to tell the child that his elder brother was dead?

Wu Guoan’s mood was also heavy, and he really couldn’t bear to shatter this child’s last hope. He also knew what the situation had been like back then, and Li Liang could be said to have died for Li Ran. At the time, Li Ran had no powers, the global weather patterns had abruptly changed, and there was ice and snow everywhere. They had fled to a food processing factory thinking that it was a place that could save their lives, but unexpectedly, they stepped into hell.

Their team had been rather chaotic back then and hadn’t gone through the trials of life and death. They had no tacit understanding between them; there was no trust, and betrayal was everywhere. Li Ran was a kind-hearted boy, and Li Liang protected him very well, but he never thought that his own teammates would launch a sneak attack against him. Although Li Liang rescued Li Ran, Li Liang himself had been trapped instead. Although they didn’t see Li Liang get caught by the zombies, there had been no news of him since then. After that, Li Ran had developed his powers.

“Come on, let’s go to see Brother Sa. Bai Jing is a Young Master from the Capital and has some influence as well as a wide network of contacts. Perhaps he really can help you find news of your elder brother.” Wu Guoan spoke comfortingly, but Heavens knew what kind of crap he was spouting.

Li Ran really believed it, and a smile that had never appeared since the outbreak of the apocalypse broke out solidly across his face.

Xu Feng gave Wu Guoan a hard look. His eyes were even wider than a copper bell. What kind of rubbish was this guy spouting?

Wu Guoan tried to open his eyes wide and glare back at Xu Feng. Having hope was always better than having none.

The few of them were silent along the way. Xu Feng and Wu Guoan glared at each other while Li Ran sank into the hope of being able to find his brother. After arriving at the apartment, Wu Guoan perked up his ears and listened to the noises inside before finally carefully opening the door.
