Chapter 64 (2/2)
Leng Han nodded, not really taking it to heart. In the world now, there were very few things that could truly be helped with. The courtyard was only so big, and it was just a place that had no owner. They all understood that if they showed their strength, it was uncertain who would win, and it was still better to keep the relations.h.i.+ps as smooth as possible.
That night, neither of them slept as they were filled with guesses and conjectures about their neighbours in the courtyard next door. They didn't know who they were, daring to be so arrogant, with such well-rounded preparations. Not just anyone would be willing to use a diesel generator…
At this time, they still did not realize that there would still be more surprises in the future. Leng Han's heart was heavy. If abilities could be levelled up, then zombies…
After Bai Jing returned, he did not realize how many conjectures he had aroused in people's minds by his visit. Even if he knew, he probably would not care. Sometimes it was better to show his advantages in front of smart people rather than pinching and hiding. He wanted others to fear him. That way, he could plan and move as he wanted. In order to win over the ability users, one always had to take out some trump cards, otherwise n.o.body would listen. He didn't understand conspiracy and trickery, but he knew that in the face of absolute strength, any careful planning still needed to stand aside. Only, that Leng Han…
”What are you thinking about?” When Xiao Sa saw that he sank deep into thought as soon as he returned and became curious. Did something happen over there?
”There's a team next door. Their leader is called Leng Han, and his name is very familiar but I can't seem to remember who he is.” Bai Jing did not try to hide anything. For him to find someone familiar, they definitely would not be a n.o.body. Regardless of whether he became an enemy or a friend in the future, he still needed to tell Xiao Sa in advance so that they could be prepared.
”Oh… It's him? ” Xiao Sa pondered for a while. He had not thought that a small place like this would become so lively.
”Who is he?” Bai Jing widened his eyes and stared at him. He hadn't expected that Xiao Sa would also recognize him. It seemed that this person was pretty well-known.
”He is the president of Leng Group. Lightning struck two of his skysc.r.a.pers before the virus outbreak. Back then, many people died, and the group almost went bankrupt. I heard that it cost them a lot of money, but the world turned chaotic before the matter was settled. Only, how did he end up here? That person is full of schemes. You're not allowed to pay attention to him.” Xiao Sa was not happy that Bai Jing had paid attention to other men, and his words carried a sour taste.
Bai Jing rolled his eyes. He was amused watching Xiao Sa act like a grumbling husband. Did he think everyone was gay like him?
In fact, Bai Jing had guessed correctly. If Xiao Sa hadn't known that Leng Hao was gay, he would not be petty. Anyone who had intentions towards Little Jing, or might develop intentions towards Little Jing, needed to be removed and left at least a thousand miles away.
Boss Xiao's brain must have crashed. He didn't seem to consider that the situation now was so tense that even living was difficult. Who else could be like him, having a cheat like Little Jing and able to afford the brainpower required to talk about love?
As they were talking, a cry of surprise came from one of the rooms.
Xiao Sa and Bai Jing looked at each other, and then the people who had just returned to bed all rushed out again, fixing their gazes on the door to the room from which the sound had emerged and kicked the door down. Originally, they thought that something important had happened, but in the end, they only saw a happy Li Yi acting foolishly around the room, hugging and kissing Little Meng while he danced around. Li Meng was confused, and looked like he still hadn't woken up.
”What's the matter?” Xiao Sa frowned and asked calmly.
Li Yi was shocked to see everyone gathered at the door and scratched his head awkwardly. He was embarra.s.sed, not having realized that he had caused such a big stir. He laughed foolishly and said, ”I… I've developed powers.”
”What kind?” Liu Wei was very discontent. He could see that the sky was already getting brighter. It looked like n.o.body would be able to sleep properly tonight with things happening one after another in the middle of the night.
”Ha ha.” Li Yi gave a dry laugh, but could not keep the excitement from his expression. ”Lightning, lightning! I'm a lightning power.” There were no lightning users on the team, and he now could fill in the gap. The most important thing was that his body now felt like it was full of strength, and he would have the power to protect Little Meng in the future. He no longer needed to look on as everyone fought desperately while he could only watch. Now that he had developed his abilities, he could sense the difference between normal people and power users. Without mentioning anything else, even just his vision and hearing ability had improved a lot.
”Okay, you keep watch for the next s.h.i.+ft. Everyone else should go to sleep, and get up on time in two hours.” Xiao Sa ordered calmly. Since Li Yi was so excited, he would probably be unable to sleep. Little Jing had already kept watch for most of the night and should rest for a while.
”Oh, oh, okay.” Li Yi had no objection to this. Although their big bro was taking out his revenge on him, it was true that he had woken everyone up, never mind that he was also no longer sleepy. He was full of energy, and wanted to practice his new powers.
Xiao Sa pulled Bai Jing back to his room while Bai Jing wavered. Sleeping together on the same bed with Xiao Sa was impossible, it was too dangerous.
Xiao Sa slid his eyes over him. He could tell at a glance what Bai Jing was thinking and mercilessly gave him a mental hit. ”We have always been sleeping together these past few days.” The only advantage to Bai Jing falling into a coma was the disappearance of the team that had worked together to make sure he couldn't take advantage of him after w.a.n.g Xuebing saw that he was holding Little Jing without doing any crooked moves. Other than taking that last step, he had already seen and touched every part of the person in front of him.
Bai Jing instantly froze on the spot…
Xiao Sa laughed lowly, grabbed his waist and hugged him tightly in his arms. ”Don't be afraid. As long as you're obedient, I promise not to touch you for the time being.”
Bai Jing was indignant. What did he mean by 'obedient'? Xiao Sa had already taken full advantage…
Regardless of what he was thinking, Xiao Sa was very crafty, and kissed him until he was dizzy. After removing his clothes, he hugged him tightly in his arms, keeping him close as he slept. He really did as he said and did not do anything, but Bai Jing did not dare to move at all. How was he supposed to close his eyes like this?
Hearing Xiao Sa's even breathing, Bai Jing suddenly calmed down. He looked at the man's sleeping face, closed his eyes slowly, and sent his spiritual energy into his s.p.a.ce. He had slept too much over the past few days, and he was not tired at all now. He might as well continue farming. He would have a strong sense of satisfaction when he watched the fields fill up with harvest.
The next morning, after everyone got up and had breakfast, Xiao Sa organized the group to learn how to ski. The courtyard was crowded and boisterous, and some people were even laughing happily. Li Meng was excitedly bouncing and jumping, and the joyous atmosphere swept away the heaviness of recent days as they watched their teammates make fools out of themselves and listened to the relaxed laughter and light-hearted cursing. The darkness from the apocalypse seemed to gradually disperse from everyone's hearts. From when they had left N City, it had been many days since they laughed happily, and their depression fell away as they relaxed and opened up to play and mess around.
They were having fun crazily over here, and unaware of how shocked the residents of the other three courtyards were. Sister Lian thought that she was the only one who had a mutant dog to help pull her sledge, and had never expected that others would be even more amazing, directly using an electric sledge…
