A shrill scream came from my ears.

Ge Xiu opened his eyes.

The driver's seat was empty, and Xie Shili seemed to have been away for a while, and the smell he left in the carriage had become blurred and difficult to recognize.

Ge Xiu straightened up while leaning on the seat with his palm.

He turned his head and looked out the car window.

There is a straight road outside. The roadblock ahead has been completely destroyed by violence. The asphalt road on the ground is full of burnt black marks. The small half of the road has been completely changed. In addition, there are some others. The damage caused by the ability to cast, but not much compared to the damage caused by the fire, did not seem to make any effective resistance, and lost the ability to continue to cast.

On the ground, three unrecognizable corpses fell among the ruins. Their faces were burnt and melted, and they were almost unrecognizable.

There are penetrating marks left by ice cones on the ground, and scorched blood is stuck on it.

Xie Shili stood in the middle of the road, surrounded by the quietly burning fire on the ground. The fierce crackling of the flame made his voice blurred and distant.

Two abilities who were still alive, but had lost the ability to resist, fell in front of him.

They screamed hysterically and stammered for mercy.

Xie Shili leaned down slowly, seeming to be asking something.

Bing Cone condensed and formed behind him, ripped the air, and pierced into the bodies of the two people in front of him fiercely.

Tormented by pain and fear, the two tremblingly answered his question.

Xie Shili nodded.

He straightened up.

In the next second, a blazing flame rose.

Ge Xiu watched what happened outside the car window.

The glass in front of him was reflected in bright red, and the red and prancing flames reflected in the light gray eyes, staining his pale face with a light crimson.

He blinked slowly.

The red went out.

The fire light on the car window was replaced by calm light and shadow, and the smell of burnt flesh and blood was permeated in the air.

Xie Shili stepped on the ashes and walked in the direction of the vehicle.

In the next second, the driver's door was opened from the outside, and the hot air flow poured in.

Standing by the car door, Xie Shili bent down and met Ge Xiu's eyes.

He raised his eyebrows:

"Woke up?"

Ge Xiu nodded.

Xie Shili leaned down, took a long leg, and sat back on the seat.

Just hear a "click" and the door closes.

He threw several spars of different colors to Ge Xiu: "Eat it?"

Ge Xiu smelled the scent of the above that belonged exclusively to the ability person.

He stuffed one into his mouth and chewed it creakingly. Although it had a completely different taste from the zombie crystal nucleus, it was not easy for Ge Xiu to taste the energy contained in it, even if it was transformed into a zombie level. Belongs to the outstanding level.

Ge Xiu raised his eyes and looked at Xie Shili.

Xie Shili's face sank like water.

His eyes were slightly constricted, the lines of his side face were sharp and sharp, and the brutality that had not dissipated after the killing was between his eyebrows.

The dark eyes are covered with a thick gloom, like a dark river flowing in the abyss.

He seemed a little absent-minded.

The carriage fell into dead silence.

Xie Shili pondered for a long while, then turned to look at Ge Xiu:

"In the nearby dawn human survivor base, I still have some remaining affairs to deal with, you..."

He paused and continued to ask: "Do you want to go together?"

Okay.

Ge Xiu nodded nonchalantly.

He didn't care where to go, and Xie Shili was usually driving anyway.

Xie Shili raised his lips, and the cold and gloomy expression on his face disappeared a little unknowingly.

He started the vehicle, bypassed the small section of the messy road in front of him, and drove forward.

After Ge Xiu had eaten all the crystals from the supernatural powers that Xie Shili had thrown at him, he turned around and picked up a bag of spar from the back seat. While watching the scenery passing by outside the window, he stuffed his mouth one by one. The spar was chewing wipingly.

The vehicle ran smoothly on the road, and the slight bumps caused by the tires running over the small stones on the ground mixed with the roar of the engine running, forming a closed and peaceful space.

After eating, sleepiness struck again.

So Ge Xiu quickly fell asleep on the co-pilot.

Xie Shili tilted his cheek and glanced at him.

The young man curled up subconsciously, holding a half-empty duffel bag in his arms, leaning on the back of the chair and sleeping soundly, the light and shadow passing by the window reflected on his pale side face, like a peaceful marble sculpture.

Xie Shili's eyes softened.

He raised his eyes and glanced casually across the rearview mirror.

Four zombies huddled in the back of the seat and pressed their backs tightly to the back of the seat. Even in a small space, they instinctively tried to stay away from the co-pilot-four adult men huddled together and shrank in The end near the driver's seat looks so pitiful.

Xie Shili retracted his gaze, took out a few spars from the bag that Ge Xiu was holding in his arms, and threw them to the four zombies sitting in the back row.

——Since Ge Xiu began to sleep longer and longer, Xie Shili has been responsible for allocating spars to them during this period of time.

Four zombies fighting for the spar were reflected in the rearview mirror.

Although each of them tried to get more, they were afraid of waking Ge Xiu who was sleeping on the co-pilot, so their movements were very small, and they only made a slight rubbing sound.

Xie Shili suddenly had a strange illusion.

It seems that I am raising a pet now.

Although these four pets... are all pale and ugly, zombies that only growl low and are always eager to eat.

Xie Shili: "..."

This fantasy made him not very happy.

He cleared away distracting thoughts and continued to drive forward intently.

The vehicle stopped twice in the middle of the half.

One was to find fuel replenishment in the abandoned gas station, and the other was to replenish the spar bag that was eaten up by Ge Xiu again.

In addition, the car has been running around on the road non-stop.

Ten hours later.

Xie Shili parked the vehicle in a hidden corner.

He looked out through the car window, his expression slightly startled.

From this angle, the steel exterior wall of the dawn survivor base can be seen from a distance.

Ge Xiu seemed to feel the stop of the vehicle.

He opened his eyes.

The bag in his arms was full again, so he happily grabbed a handful of spar and stuffed it into his mouth.

Ge Xiu sat up and turned to look around where he was now.

Is this already here?

He blinked, swallowing the spar in his mouth.

After the car stopped, Xie Shili unlocked the child lock in the back seat and let the four zombies that had been shivering for more than ten hours under the breath of Ge Xiu run out to protect themselves from the wind - Xie Shili was not worried that they followed the smell towards the base Walking in the direction of, these zombies were too afraid of Ge Xiu, so even if they didn't take the initiative to order, they didn't dare to leave him for more than a hundred meters.

Xie Shili raised his eyes and fixedly stared at the city wall shimmering in the morning sun.

——The place that was established by him, poured in countless efforts, and was taken away under the betrayal of his loved ones.

He lowered his eyes to block the complex emotions under his eyes.

Xie Shili stretched out his hand to open the locker in front of the car, and took out the dusty half-pack of cigarettes placed there by the previous owner of the car.

He drew a stick to his lips.

A cluster of flames lit up at the fingertips, instantly igniting the end of the cigarette, a dim flame flickered, and the blue smoke mixed with the bitter smell of nicotine slowly drifted away.

Ge Xiu tilted his head, the other's worried expression reflected in his gray eyes.

He put a spar into his mouth again, his gaze fell on the cigarette between his fingers, and a trace of doubt passed through his eyes.

……what is this?

Is something edible?

Xie Shili rolled down the window to let the smoke in the car diffuse outside.

He put his wrist on the edge of the window, his slender fingertips quivered slightly, and a little residual soot floated down.

Xie Shili's eyes moved slightly in the hazy smoke that had not dispersed in the car, and he looked at Ge Xiu who was sitting in the co-pilot.

He noticed the other person's eyes staring at the cigarette.

Xie Shili moved his fingertips slightly, picking up the cigarette that had burnt only half of it, and asked:

"Want to try it?"

Although Ge Xiu was a little confused, he nodded expectantly.

Xie Shili frowned, looked at him for two seconds, and asked:

"Do you know?"

Ge Xiu nodded again-what can't you do if you eat?

So Xie Shili passed the cigarette, and Ge Xiu opened his mouth and bit at the burning cigarette butt.

Fortunately, he has quick eyes and quick hands. Even if he takes the lit cigarette a little farther, he will probably be stuffed into his mouth and eaten by the opponent.

With a "click", Ge Xiu's upper and lower teeth collided, and he bit out.

He turned his head to look at Xie Shili blankly, with a faint dissatisfaction under his gray eyes——

Don’t you let him eat it? Why did it suddenly take it away at a critical moment?

Xie Shili shook his head helplessly:

"This is not for eating..."

Ge Xiu raised his brows, obviously not believing what Xie Shili said.

——I clearly saw you put it in your mouth.

Xie Shili sighed.

I don't know why, although the other party's expression has not changed much, but as the time spent with him grows, he finds that he is more and more accustomed to perceiving what the other party wants to express from the subtle changes in his youth.

He held the cigarette between his lips and took a light sip.

Then he leaned over, kissed the cold and soft lips of the other party, and passed the smoke in his mouth.

Ge Xiu was slightly startled, his eyes widened slightly, and he stared at the magnified face of the other party in a daze.

There was a warm and moist strange touch on the lips.

The nose lingers around the opponent, mixed with the smell of ashes, blood, fire, and tobacco. The attractive taste has become more complicated and deep at this moment - but overall, it seems to smell twice as delicious.

For human food, zombies have no sense of taste.

Although Ge Xiu had tried to eat human food, the result was the same every time. After the food that looked beautiful in color was put in his mouth, it was as dry as chewing firewood, and it was impossible to swallow it.

However, this time is a little different.

Perhaps it was because of the turning of Xie Shili's mouth. Just now... he seemed to have tasted a little... taste.

Bitterness, pungency, remembrance, hatred, sorrow.

Xie Shili stepped back a little, letting go of the pale and cold lips of the young man.

Ge Xiu stared at him blankly.

A bit of gray smoke escaped from between his half-open lips.

The faint smoke drifted upward along the lines of his face, wrapped around his dark eyelashes, dissipated with the blinking of the eyelashes, and melted into the air.

Xie Shili lowered his eyes, the dark bottom of his eyes reflected the blank expression of the other party:

"How about it?"
