Chapter 111 - "Okay. But how will you repay me?" (2)
Bei Nuan had a strange feeling. His actions were frivolous, and his words were flirty, but his cold and fierce gaze gave off a different feeling.
"What do you want?" Bei Nuan felt awkward. "My cooking isn't as good as Jiang Fei's. How about this? I'll wash all of your clothes and iron them."
She still dared to mention Jiang Fei.
One moment it was Jiang Fei, and then it was Song Xiyi. She treated them like capture targets in an otome game. After capturing one target, would she move onto the next one?
Lu Xingchi let go of her and walked towards the metal gate.
"Where are you going?" Bei Nuan was baffled.
"Going to look for medicine." Lu Xingchi didn't even look back.
Although Bei Nuan was puzzled why he would suddenly agree, she hastily followed after him.
The sun had set a while ago, and there was only light from the street lights which casted long, densely packed shadows of the trees on the boulevard. They got in the jeep and quietly left Shui University.
Lu Xingchi was driving very fast. The jeep practically flew over the silent, deserted streets. It wasn't clear where he was driving.
The mood in the jeep was strange.
Lu Xingchi didn't say anything, and Bei Nuan could tell he was unhappy and kept silent. She leaned against the window and looked out.
"Ah! Lu Xingchi! There's a pharmacy over there! You drove past it!"
Lu Xingchi didn't slow down. His left hand turned the steering wheel hard, and his right hand pulled the shifter.
The jeep had been rushing forward, but with his movements, it drifted and made a dramatic 180 degree turn in the road.
Bei Nuan had seen displays of drifting a lot in action movies. When she was watching it on TV, it looked so cool. But when she experienced it first-hand in the passenger seat, she felt like her heart was about to leap out.
Fortunately, there weren't any other cars on the road. Otherwise, who knows how many people he would have killed with his stunt.
Before the jeep had stabilized, Lu Xingchi stepped on the accelerator again, and the jeep rushed towards the glass door of the pharmacy like it had gone crazy.
Bei Nuan instinctively curled up in the seat and covered her head.
Just when the jeep was about to hit the glass, Lu Xingchi suddenly braked, and the jeep came to a halt.
Lu Xingchi turned off the engine and nimbly got out of the jeep.
Unsurprisingly, a large number of zombies had been attracted by the loud noises from the jeep. They swarmed towards them from all directions on the road.
Lu Xingchi didn't even bring his crossbow. He just raised his right hand. The trunk flung open, and a thick shower of spikes shot out in all directions and wiped out the zombies. After the spikes had hit their targets, it looked like the rewind button was clicked as the spikes returned to the trunk. There was a brief sound of clattering as the spikes dropped into the box.
Bei Nuan carefully got out of the jeep. Her legs were still wobbly from his crazy driving. She instinctively knew that Boss Lu had gone off the rails. He was very fierce and shouldn't be messed with.
Lu Xingchi looked surprisingly calm and wasn't showing any emotions.
There was already a big hole in the glass door of the pharmacy, but he still unlocked the door with his ability and opened the door for Bei Nuan. He tilted his head at the pharmacy, signaling for her to go in.
There were no zombies inside, and the lights were on.
Bei Nuan saw that there was still a lot of medicine on the shelves, but they were in a disorderly mess. Other people must have come here before them and rummaged through the shelves. From this, she could surmise that there were still humans quietly hiding in the corners of the city and avoiding zombies while they collected supplies and worked hard to survive.
Bei Nuan quickly took out the list and looked for each of the medicines listed.
After the previous spate of going crazy, Lu Xingchi seemed closer to his normal state. He glanced at her list and helped her look for the medicine.
Song Xiyi and the others wanted commonly used medicine for treating colds and diarrhea along with disinfectants, bandages, etc for dressing wounds.
It didn't take Bei Nuan long to fill several large bags with medicine.
"I wonder where the antibiotics are." Bei Nuan had searched the shelves for them and couldn't find them.
"Antibiotics are prescription drugs and should be placed behind the counter."
Lu Xingchi led her behind the counter. They didn't find the antibiotics there, so he opened the door to an inner room. There was a locked cabinet in there. Lu Xingchi easily opened it. There were quite a few antibiotics hidden in the cabinet.
Bei Nuan took the ones on the lists. Having finally found everything on the list, she sighed in relief and collected some medicine for herself.
"Done?" ”Lu Xingchi asked.
"Yup, I found everything," Bei Nuan double checked the long list. Satisfied, she put the medicine and list into her pocket space.
As soon as she was done, a sudden force pressed her against the wall.
Lu Xingchi had her firmly trapped between him and the wall.
