After sleeping again, Hao Jian and Lian Ru Ning slept soundly until nearly nine o’clock. If it weren’t for Peng Mao knocking on their door, they would’ve continued sleeping.

Lian Ru Ning sat up and hurriedly looked at Hao Jian, “You go back to sleep. If we’re still leaving by noon, I’ll wake you up an hour in advance.”

After Hao Jian took the quick-acting cold medicine, although she wasn’t completely cured, her symptoms aren’t so obvious anymore. She then yawned, “No, this has been the most comfortable and adequate sleep I’ve had in days. I still have to go talk to Chief Hu about a few things so I can’t sleep again.”

Hao Jian already said so, so Lian Ru Ning naturally didn’t stop her from getting up. She waited for Hao Jian to finish dressing up before opening the door, “What happened that you’re in such a hurry? You’re close to breaking down the door.”

Peng Mao nosily peeked inside and said, “I was going to have breakfast, but I heard you guys weren’t up yet so I was worried if something happened to you!”

“Well, it seems that waking up early on weekdays would eventually be exhausting, so it’s not a rare thing to sleep in now.” Hao Jian also walked out.

Although Peng Mao felt that Hao Jian’s voice wasn’t the same as usual, he just thought that it was because she had just woken up. He was not embarrassed that he had disturbed his good sleep, “Why don’t you guys go back to sleep?”

“We’re already awake and we have to get ready to leave at noon.” Hao Jian said.

Peng Mao was surprised, “Leaving so soon?”

Even though they only stayed for a night, Peng Mao has experienced a lot of benefits for staying in the hydropower station. Aside from the living conditions, which place can be like here that has an endless supply of water and electricity?

However, he is also aware that the hydroelectric power station doesn’t serve as a shelter for survivors. They won’t be able to stay here for a long time until they work hard for their stay.

However, Lian Ru Ning wanted to return to Southern City as soon as possible. Not to mention that even Shi Gong Dui didn’t want to stay for long that he was still talking about his supplies last night!

Hao Jian pretended not to see the reluctance in his eyes, “Well, there are a lot of cars parked here/ We can take some gasoline to fill up our cars and I already talked to Chief Hu to let him lend me some tools today to strengthen the protection of our car. By the way, let Xin Ting give the car an overhaul and after we’ve done that, we’ll be off.”

“Okay, I’ll talk to Xiao Ting.” Peng Mao didn’t propose to stay. After all, in his opinion, this place is good but not as interesting as going with Hao Jian and her peers.

After washing up, Lian Ru Ning went to the canteen for two sets of breakfast. Hao Jian didn’t go to the crowded canteen, instead received the tools she needed for their car.

She wanted to weld the car’s windows with a wire mesh and also welded some on the windshield, leaving only some space for the driver’s and passenger’s seat to see.

Lian Ru Ning brought Hao Jian her breakfast she took. Although the staple food was still unflavored steamed buns, there was an extra porridge. This showed that they were treated a little better than before now that they have gained their trust.

Hao Jian has welded two car windows, but in just a few moments, she was already covered in a hot sweat. The sun was heavy on them and Hao Jian’s slightly pale face was blushing due to the remainder of her illness. Lian Ru Ning thoughtfully took the sunscreen clothing to block her head.

Hao Jian glanced at her, took off her gloves, and said while eating steamed buns, “Little sister is so considerate of me. I’m afraid any more of this and I’ll fall in love with you.”

Would it kill you to talk to me for a while without teasing me?

Lian Ru Ning was slightly embarrassed in her heart, but she didn’t let it show on the surface, “You won’t.”

“. . .” Hao Jian paused then smiled, “I will.”

Shi Gong Dui leaped out from the side, “You will what?”

When the two raised their eyes, they saw home walking over with his laptop and radio in his arms. Lian Ru Ning then asked, “Didn’t you say all of your equipment was confiscated?”

A smirk appeared on Shi Gong Dui’s face, “I gave up all the equipment from the villa and promised not to eavesdrop on military secrets at will again, so I was able to persuade them to leave my computer and radio so that we could still receive information from ‘Wugui’ at any time.”

Although the remaining devices that are used for collecting wireless channel information and cracking communications codes can’t be returned, it was enough for him as long as he had these two devices.

Hao Jian didn’t say anything and only knocked on the gas tank lid, “Go to Chief Hu’s place and load some gasoline back. We’re ready to leave at noon.”

Shi Gong Dui put his equipment in the car and couldn’t help but wipe the sweat on his neck as he heard her words, muttering, “It’s so nice here. There’s water, electricity, fans, there is even air conditioning in the office, let’s stay for two more days!”

“Aren’t you the one who yelled to go back to the city to enjoy your food, air-conditioning, and refrigerator?” Hao Jian rhetorically asked.

Shi Gong Dui choked, “I was thinking about you, but it’s clear that you don’t want to so I won’t persuade you anymore.”

He dragged his fat body and huffed and puffed as he ran away.

The parking lot in the hydropower station actually has quite a few cars parked. There are military trucks, off-road vehicles, excavators, and cranes, but because these cars are either too eye-catching or useless, Hao Jian still chose the broken car they picked up.

The military still needs trucks and off-road vehicles, so the gasoline inside can’t be pumped out, but there are several abandoned tourist buses that still have a lot of gasoline.

When Shi Gong Dui was unloading the oil, he saw Peng Mao holding an umbrella for Xin Ting, who was checking whether the tourist bus was still in good shape, so he pulled him aside, “Come and help!”

“Go aside, I’m busy here!” Peng Mao retorted.

“Damn, everyone is busy and only you have the time to pick up girls!”

Xin Ting gave an ‘ah’, a little confused as she looked at Peng Mao. The latter then glared at Shi Gong Dui in annoyance, “Go away, I’m doing my job too alright?!”

Xin Ting reacted and she embarrassingly told Peng Mao, “I don’t need an umbrella here. You go help the contractor!”

Shi Gong Dui, who always has been dissatisfied with this nickname, had no desire to bother her this time. He proudly led Peng Mao away and took the tube before handing it to him, “Here, suck out the contents out with force!”

“Fuck, it will flow into my mouth, right?!”

“Be careful, when something comes out, you can immediately let go so you can’t swallow too much. Why do you think I asked you for help? The other three are all girls, it’s not appropriate to leave these things to them.”

“I won’t do it, if you want to suck, you do it. Aren’t you a man too?”

“I think your lung capacity is better and your body is strong. . .”

Xin Ting blushed and turned to the side to sneak a look, only to find that they were originally just talking about pumping the gasoline out. No wonder she thought wrongly, it was because the conversation between the two was just too gay.

“What’s the matter?” Peng Mao noticed her presence and asked.

“Nothing, you guys are busy so I’ll take these parts to them.” Xin Ting said and hurriedly slipped away.

Peng mao noticed that Xin Ting’s eyes seemed a little strange. He pondered about it for a moment before realizing how his conversation with Shi Gong Dui sounded like, “. . .”

A big misunderstanding! He felt that Shi Gong Dui definitely did it on purpose. He was just envious and jealous of his closeness to Xin Ting!

Not to mention Peng Mao and Shi Gong Dui fighting against each other once again, Xin Ting went to Hao Jian as she welded the car windows with some wire mesh to prevent damaging the car too much when hitting zombies. She also deliberately installed a piece of iron in front of the car like a head of a hedgehog.

Generally speaking, the overall look is a little ugly, but its safety performance has been upgraded a lot.

Xin Ting replaced the parts removed from the travel bus to their car which in turn greatly reduced their chances of failure.

Hao Jian tried the car and felt that there was not much problem.

“As long as there are no violent collisions, there shouldn’t be any problem driving it for another year or two!” Xin Ting let out a sigh of relief.

“Xiao Ting, you’re so awesome!” Lian Ru Ning praised her with a smile.

Xin Ting’s face was slightly ruddy and she didn’t know if it was because of the sun or from being shy because of the compliment.

“Indeed, with this skill, you won’t have much problem even if you go on the road alone.” Hao Jian nodded.

Xin Ting was stunned and felt slightly uneasy, “I, I can’t. I only have the most basic car repair skills and I have no ability to kill zombies.”

She thought that Hao Jian was trying to keep her in the refuge base again, like last time.

“In fact, you don’t need to underestimate your own ability so much. You only retreated at first because of fear, then you humble yourself because you’re used to relying on others that even your feelings waver as a result and not recognizing what you really want.” Hao Jian said.

Xin Ting understood the truth, but she felt that she wasn’t dependent on Hao Jian. It was just that she had no way to put what she’s feeling into words.

Lian Ru Ning consciously walked away and Hao Jian asked again, “Have you ever thought about what you’re doing after you get to Southern City?”

Xin Ting was a little confused. Although their goal from the beginning was to get to the Southern City, she never thought they could go so far without being unharmed before. She just traveled for so long with the ambivalence of wanting to survive and get by.

“What about you? Where are you going to go when Ru Ning finds her family?

Hao Jian touched her chin. In fact, she had little hope that they could find Lian Ru Ning’s family, but she will do her best. If Lian Ru Ning’s family is still alive and would successfully reunite with them, she really doesn’t have a plan for what she’ll do next.

But since she has already taken the system’s mission and would complete the main tasks, she thinks that there will be more main missions and side missions. Maybe she’ll have to follow Lian Ru Ning, or maybe she’ll break away from the love relationship and complete the missions alone.

All in all, she was all alone and she didn’t feel the need to hesitate about the future, like Xin Ting who attempts to find someone to rely on and then survive and get by.

“I have my own things to do. I no longer have a family, so I can go to my friends or head to a shelter to stay and wait to do die, or I can do what I want to do. All I can say is that in the future, we won’t take the same direction. You should think about it, where and how you want to go.”

Xin Ting was silent. Hao Jian didn’t act as a life coach once again to teach her anything but went to Hu Dan to confirm once more whether the ambush of the military went well.

Until about eleven o’clock, the sun was getting hotter and hotter, and the car was baked like a steamer before Hao Jian was ready to go.

The zombies at the entrance of the grid on the road into the factory have been cleaned up, but they will have to deal with the zombies outside the gate by themselves.

Shi Gong Dui still occupied the passenger seat, but compared to yesterday, he felt much more peaceful today. Even if he was hot and sweaty, he didn’t complain.

Shi Gong Dui then asked, “So, what’s the next plan?”
