Chapter 26

Warning: Food porn

The solar eclipse occurred around 9 o'clock in the morning. Everyone had spent the few hours at the start running before arriving at this unfinished building so, they were all exhausted. They spent their time lying on the ground or resting against the wall.

After they had enough rest, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon. Around this time, the fierce sun normally sank a bit, and the temperature wasn't as hot as the middle of the day.

Everyone was exhausted from the day's events, and their bodies were already covered in black ash and blood, which made them uncomfortable. Only Gong Lixin, who hadn't broken a sweat from the start of the apocalypse, still looked refreshed. His clothes were completely clean and he looked particular handsome.

This was strength. With superior strength, they could still live easily in the apocalypse, just like Young Master Gong. The useless sacrifices they made, had them more awed of Young Master Gong. Only He Jin, whose brows were wrinkled, was unwilling to see the invisible gap between them.

The zombies kept going back and forth just outside of the building, making it so that they couldn't get out. Thus they could only sit still and process their own thoughts. Like that, another two hours passed, it was almost seven o'clock. The hot sun outside had already disappeared into the western horizon. The coolness of the wind took this opportunity to feather out the lingering heat, making the temperature much more comfortable to bear.

Although people didn't have much of an appetite during the summer season, everybody present had ran for a long time and had only eaten a simple breakfast in the morning. They were all beginning to feel the hunger pangs as the temperature cooled down.

They didn't know who it was, but a loud noise erupted from a person's stomach. It was loud enough to echo throughout the empty hall, awakening everyone from their stupor.

Lu Yun didn't hesitate to make himself known. He held his stomach that kept calling out and turned to look at He Jin with ears tinged red and said, "Hey, I-I'm a little hungry." He was being quite modest about his level of hunger, by saying he was only 'a little' hungry.'

He Jin frowned at Lu Yun but didn't speak. Lu Yun licked his lips and, at the cold look given to him, shyly bowed his head. He suddenly felt that he was the food. And if he had to add a description to it, it would be 'useless' food.

"Oh, I'm also hungry. I only ate a bowl of porridge in the morning." Gong Lixin was a child who was sincere and honest. He had a heartfelt voice and he solved his problems in a timely manner.

"Lixin, endure it for a bit. I'm trying to remember the layout of the streets outside." The child looked at him with big eyes full of expectation, just like a little bird waiting to be fed and in desperate need of care and protection. Only in this situation did the invisible sense of distance disappeared. The heart that initially felt lost, was full once again. He Jin's mouth was slightly upturned and he gently touched the child's head.

Lu Yun heard this reassurance. As long as Brother He didn't intend to starve him then all is well. However, was Brother He not fierce and sinister, even cold, to him? Why was he so gentle towards Young Master Gong?

Looking at how clever and sensible Gong Lixin was and at the pleasing appearance of Young Master Gong, Lu Yun looked back down. He had no face to compare himself.

"We'll go to Chongwen Road which is 100 meters to the left outside of the iron gate. There is a row of shops on that street on the right side. The fourth block has a miniature supermarket. The shop is not too big but there was always some food being sold, so we'll go there." As a mercenary, exploring the surrounding terrain and layout became almost second nature; the instincts he had gained from battle were engraved onto his bones. He Jin only had to think for a little while before a map of the area formed in his mind.
