Chapter 60 – Going To G City

When Yu Dongdong's power awoken, his appetite became larger. Before, a small bowl of instant noodles was enough to fill his stomach. Now, he ate two large bowls of noodles, and drank all the soup; and yet, did not feel satiated. He pestered Su Ruizhe to cook another packet for him. Maybe, it was because Dongdong influenced Xiao Hei, that when Yu Dongdong was on his third bowl of instant noodles, Xiao Hei came over as well and licked two drops of the instant noodles soup with his little tongue.
“Eh! You can’t eat that!” Su Ruizhe quickly reached out to stop him. Although he had no experience in raising cats, he had heard that cats’ intestines and stomachs were weak. Heavy salt, heavy oil and unhealthy food like instant noodles were absolutely forbidden.
But why would Xiao Hei listen to his words; he simply took a light leap across the hand Su Ruizhe had stretched to block Xiao Hei, grabbed a strand of noodle and quickly sucked it into his stomach.
Su Ruizhe became really anxious and angry. If he consumed it and ended up sick, he didn't even know where to run to find a vet!
“Brother, it’s okay. Xiao Hei thinks it’s delicious.” Yu Dongdong spoke in a soft, waxy voice.
Su Ruizhe became shocked by his words, looked towards Yu Dongdong and asked in surprise, “Can you communicate with it?”
Yu Dongdong shook his head, “Xiao Hei can’t talk to me, but I can feel that it's very happy.”
Su Ruizhe realised that the ability to feel Xiao Hei's emotions should be Yu Dongdong's mental power. He could only comfort himself by thinking that Xiao Hei was not an ordinary cat. Maybe the intestines and stomachs of evolved animals were different from those of ordinary animals…

Zheng Jiahe woke up at noon the next day, but they didn’t know why Zhan Yun still had a high fever.
“Ge… Why won't you wake up? I’m worried… Aren’t you hungry? The food is still hot in the pot…” Su Ruizhe cooled Zhan Yun's forehead down with a wet towel and whispered to him. Although he believed that Zhan Yun would succeed in his level upgrade, he couldn't help worrying. Every half an hour, he wiped his face and neck with a wet towel, and kept feeding him some juice and water, to prevent dehydration caused due to prolonged fever.
Zhan Yun’s fever lasted for an entire day and night. He did not wake until noon on the third day.
“Brother Zhan! You're finally awake?” Su Ruizhe had been paying attention to the movements in Zhan Yun’s room. Seeing Zhan Yun coming out of the room, his face lit up with joy. “Are you hungry? I have your meal ready. I’ll bring it to you right away.”
Zhan Yun must be hungry after sleeping for so long; so Su Ruizhe had prepared the meal early and kept it warming in the pot, as he waited for him to wake up and eat immediately.
“There's no hurry.” At this time, everyone was asleep. In fact, only he and Su Ruizhe were staying in 501. Zhan Yun’s heart moved and he walked to hold that person in his arms.
“Ge…” Su Ruizhe’s face blushed red all of a sudden, and he gave out a loud shout.
“When I was down with a fever, I could always hear someone talking to me.” Zhan Yun hugged his lover from behind and deliberately came close to Su Ruizhe’s ear to speak.
“Ge… I… ” Su Ruizhe’s voice trembled, and his pair of ears like white jade became dyed with a delicate red hue. Zhan Yun slept for a long time. Su Ruizhe had always felt uneasy but kept it inside. Whenever he felt nervous, he couldn't help but want to talk. He spoke a lot of shameful words. Unexpectedly, Zhan Yun had heard all of them. He felt embarrassed to death!
“When I had a fever, I thought of you too…” Zhan Yun felt that the man in his arms was slightly shrinking. His eyelashes were shaking. He smiled and bowed his head, kissing Su Ruizhe’s lips. His little lover’s lips were soft and smooth, with a little fruity fragrance. He must have eaten some fruits just now.
Zhan Yun’s kiss was not domineering and fierce, but tender and carried an intimate taste. Their lips and tongues intertwined, fully addicted to this intimacy.
“Ge…” At the end of the kiss, Su Ruizhe leaned against Zhan Yun’s arms and gasped gently. As a result, he felt something hard touching his thigh. When he realized what it was, his cheeks dyed red like almost dripping blood.
In the end, Zhan Yun didn’t wish to bully him too much. He took in a deep breath and let him go. He said in a low voice, “Go and get food for Ge. He is hungry.”
When he completed speaking the last two words, Zhan Yun’s eyes deliberately made a turn towards some unspeakable part of Su Ruizhe’s body, which made Su Ruizhe even more embarrassed.
Fortunately, the food was maintained to remain constantly warm, and it wouldn't take much time for the food to be served. The hot white rice, the delicious corn ribs soup, big chunks of braised pork; the fragrance overflowed, attracting people to eat.
“Xiaozhe, have you eaten yet?”
“We’ve all eaten. It’s specially prepared for you. Hurry up and eat while it’s hot.”
“Good.”
“Ge, Captain Li was here today. We will gather at the gate of the base at six this evening.” While Zhan Yun is eating, Su Ruizhe told him of Li Ming’s arrival.
Li Ming had been waiting for Zhan Yun’s reply. He was about to leave this evening, but there was no movement from them. Li Ming couldn't wait any longer. So, he came in person in the early morning. Who could have known that Zhan Yun was still sleeping, and the rest of the team obviously couldn't become the captain. Finally, Su Ruizhe came forward and gave Li Ming a response, promising that as long as Zhan Yun woke up before starting tonight, they would definitely participate in today’s action. Thus, Li Ming left in peace.
“Well, let’s go tonight.” Zhan Yun nodded. This time, they must take part in the action.
* * * * * *
At six o’clock in the evening, Zhan Yun and his team drove their off-road vehicles to the gate of the base on time. At the gate of the base, four military cars and a heavy weight truck were revving, ready to go.
When Li Ming saw that Zhan Yun and his team were present, he took in a breath of relief. “Captain, we are pleased to see you joining us!”
Zhan Yun also nodded to him, “Captain Li, let's have a good cooperation.”
It was not the first time for both sides to cooperate, so there was not much nonsense. They simply started to drive right after.
Li Ming’s military car was heading up the convoy in the front, and Zhan Yun’s SUV was right behind them.
Before leaving, Li Ming provided them with a walkie talkie to communicate conveniently with the military. The effective distance of the walkie talkie was two kilometers.
In addition, Li Ming also provided each with big fist-sized rice dumplings cooked by adults from the base containing not only salted vegetables, but also small pieces of ham sausage.
The so-called man is iron, but the rice is steel, you should always have enough to eat to continue the fight, a wise emperor will not have hungry soldiers!
The rice dumplings were still hot and tasted good, but for an ability user, a rice dumpling of this size was still not enough. Fortunately, they drove their own off-road vehicles. They had a small stove in the back and could cook something to eat by themselves. They didn’t have to be afraid of being discovered.
The journey to get to G city from the base would take around two or three days. The rescue forces had already cleaned up the road before they set off, so they went smoothly all the way; requiring to deal with the zombies wandering on the road only occasionally.
Before daybreak, they found a small village to settle down. There were no living humans here, only zombies slowly walking towards them.
After clearing the village, the soldiers dug out the crystal core of the zombies, piled the bodies together and set them on fire. Then, went to the house to rest.
However, Li Ming felt speechless when he saw that Zhan Yun’s team had brought out their four-year-old child and the pet cat. Just that it was Zhan Yun and his team’s business, after all. As long as they were capable of protecting the child and the cat and did not affect the task this time, there was no room for him to comment.
The next day, as the sun went down, everyone immediately went back on the road again. As the car drove along on the road, the surroundings were completely silent. Dongdong suddenly said, “Brother, there is a car in the back.”
Dongdong was now a psychic. His telepathy should be correct. Several people looked behind at once, but the night was dark, there were no street lights on the road, and they could not see the situation in the back at all.
Until a bend, they could see the car's body reflect a flash of moonlight.
It should be a black car. It didn’t switch the headlights on. They don’t know when it started trailing behind them. Under the cover of the night, it followed carefully. If it wasn’t for Yu Dongdong, they would not even realise that they were being followed.
Zhan Yun immediately informed Li Ming of the situation by the walkie talkie.
Li Ming felt very surprised. He didn’t go to the village or the store on the way. Where did this car come from? Why was it following them?
If it’s a survivor, shouldn’t they find a way to ask for help? What did it mean by following them so furtively?
No matter what the intentions were of the car behind, it was necessary to find out everything.
Zhan Yun’s off-road vehicle suddenly switched off its lights, and the car quietly pulled over and stopped. Li Ming’s line continued to move forward. On the dark road, it gradually lost its light. Under the shadow of darkness, no one would find that there was a car parked in this place.
After a while, the car following all this time appeared and drove past.
Zhan Yun suddenly switched on the high beam lights. The powerful headlights illuminated the road ahead. The unknown black business car who had accompanied them for who knew how long became exposed in the lights.
The driver of the car in front obviously panicked and stepped on the gas pedal in a hurry to get rid of Zhan Yun but they didn’t expect another row of lights to light up in front of them. Two military cars, didn’t know when had stopped to block the road ahead. Dozens of soldiers held weapons aimed towards the car.
With a screeching sound of brakes being suddenly applied, the black business car finally skidded to a stop.
“Don’t shoot, don’t shoot!” A short, fat man opened the door of the business car raising his hands and walked out.
“What are you doing?!” Li Ming snapped.
“I am a normal person! My wife and children are in the car! ” As he said, he hurriedly asked the people in the car to come down. The seven seater business car was full of people. A middle-aged woman, three men, and two young and beautiful girls came down. “This is my wife, two daughters, a son, and two of their friends.”
“What do you want to do by following us?!”
“We escaped from N city and want to go to G city to find my parents. Recently, the road has not been peaceful. There are three women in our car. It’s really unsafe. When we saw your car lights on the road, we thought you could keep us safe. So, we followed you secretly. We really carry no malice!” The fat man said sincerely.
It seemed there was nothing wrong with them. As soldiers, Li Ming couldn't be in conflict with ordinary people. If they were carrying out search and rescue tasks, they would take them with them. But now that they needed to carry out an urgent task related to the whole base, which carried a certain degree of danger, it was impossible to take them, let alone till G city.
