Regardless of what those people were thinking, the two of them were very leisurely. K City was short on electricity, so in the evening, just as the sky darkened, Bai Jing brought out the candles he'd prepared beforehand, and they enjoyed a candlelight steak dinner. The candlelight flickered in the darkened room, adding a little color to the dark night.

As for Wu Guoan, he hid in his room and drew circles on the floor. He knew he hadn't come to be a light bulb, but his heart was filled with thoughts of the steak he held in his hands. He swallowed hard and slapped himself fiercely to make sure he wasn't dreaming. It wasn't until it was really in his mouth, and he had swallowed the steak into his stomach, the taste buds from the tip of his tongue telling him that the steak was really fragrant, that he finally felt that this was real. His evaluation of Xiao Sa jumped up several levels in his heart and rose directly to the level of G.o.d. He confirmed once again that he had made the right choice.

”Cheers!”

“Cheers!”

Bai Jing always knew how to enjoy himself. Their place had two bedrooms and one living room, and was well decorated. Although it was not as luxurious as it would've been prior to the apocalypse, there was still some measure of warmth. The two of them lightly lifted their gla.s.ses and smiled at each other, a warm current flowing through the air between them and adding a little ambiguity to the candlelit night.

The atmosphere in the room was very good as the two of them made inconsequential small talk. Xiao Sa's face clearly showed some regret, and the occasional glances he sent towards the window were very fierce.

Bai Jing smiled blandly, his eyelashes fluttering, and his eyebrows showing that he was taking some joy in others' misfortune. His behaviour was graceful from beginning to end, as though this was not a common dinner, but a feast at a five-star hotel.

Time went by slowly. Their meal was very leisurely, and except for the disgusting mice wandering around outside, Bai Jing wanted to express that everything was not bad at all.

After finis.h.i.+ng the meal, they rested for a while and cleaned up a bit before blowing out the candles, waiting quietly for their unexpected visitors.

Wu Guoan also gathered up his awareness after eating and drinking his fill, silently taking precautions and strengthening the room. Although he wasn't at the level of a professional, he had spent a few years in the underworld and laying out a few traps was not a problem for him.

Time flew by quickly. In a twinkling of an eye, it was deep in the middle of the night. After midnight, in the quiet night, there was a slight, barely audible scritching sound of friction.

Following the 'click' of the locked door opening, a black shadow flashed by, nimbly hiding within the apartment. Having wandered on the edge of danger for a long time, instinct told him as soon as he stepped into the house that danger was approaching. He didn't have any chance to escape or respond before there was a m.u.f.fled sound, and the apartment fell into silence once again.

Xiao Sa's expression was dark as he dealt with wave after wave of people. He was very careful about making sure that those who came made no noise. His means were vicious, and other than ensuring that they were still alive, the people who had come to spy and test out the waters all had bruised noses and swollen faces, and were basically no longer recognizable.

Wu Guoan was damp from cold sweat, his heart was chilled, and he felt like he was under very high pressure. They had to know that amongst the spies were also people from the Cheetah Mercenary Corps. Compared to facing Brother Sa's anger, he felt that it was more cost-effective to feel sorry for his friends. It would be no big deal as long as he apologized to them afterwards.

Bai Jing sat lazily on the sofa and found himself completely unnecessary. Xiao Sa's metal ability, coupled with the pressure he gave off as a rank three ability user, was more than enough. When faced with his absolute strength, the fights were completely one-sided, and Xiao Sa was steadily able to keep Bai Jing protected within his domain.

Bai Jing's lips curved in a beautiful arc, finding it a little amusing in his heart as he coldly looked on as Xiao Sa punched the latest trespa.s.ser in the chin before administering a severe beating. He felt no sympathy for them at all.

He had already expected Xiao Sa to be in a bad mood, but he hadn't thought that he would be so fierce. Bai Jing knew very well how the little abacus in Xiao Sa's heart worked, and had noticed that his l.u.s.tful expression had surfaced ever since they had arrived at K City Base. Even if he thought with his toes, he would be able to guess what Xiao Sa was thinking.

It was true that s.e.xually frustrated men shouldn't be provoked. Although Bai Jing didn't mind what he and his lover did together at night, he was still very willing to watch Xiao Sa suffer such a setback.

As for the mice and rats who had come forth to spy on them tonight, Bai Jing expressed that there was nothing he could do. They could only blame themselves for their bad luck; who asked them to jump in front of the muzzle of a gun?

The next day, K City Base was very lively. Early in the morning, Xiao Sa pushed the group of people to the Security Office of the base and claimed that there had been burglars. After the apocalypse, this was considered a felony.

“This…” The officers in the Security Office pulled 囧囧 faces as they stood there dazed. The people who were being accused looked worse than the accuser and had a few teeth beaten loose. Exactly who had robbed who?
