Fang Yuyang stood next to Fang Yuxin, keenly noticing that her mood was off. He turned his head and saw her face was colder than usual, hostility clearly evident. He glanced subconsciously at the dozen or so people standing together nearby, his gaze quickly locking onto the woman who had just spoken.
True, the woman was quite likable in appearance and, in such circumstances, seemed unflustered and rather at ease, which was indeed rare. Under normal circumstances, he would have admired such a woman. However, since Fang Yuxin obviously harbored strong hostility towards this woman, he naturally lost any goodwill towards her as well.
Turning his gaze away, Fang Yuyang slightly tilted his head and asked Fang Yuxin in a low voice, "Xinxin, what's the matter? Do you know her?"
Fang Yuxin nodded. Although she had told Fang Yuyang most of what she had dreamed, there was still much she kept hidden, including about this woman. Her name was Lin Feiyin. Although of modest origins, she was generous and extremely compassionate; these were not issues, those traits might even be considered virtues; however, Lin Feiyin's kindness was always at the expense of others, which made her the type who inadvertently sabotaged her own team!
In the dream, both she and Fang Yuyang had been saved by Lin Feiyin, who had also given them shelter and formed a team with them. Initially, they were very grateful to Lin Feiyin, but as they spent more time together, Lin Feiyin's saintly act had become apparent. The supplies they worked hard to gather, Lin Feiyin could easily give away to others, always taking the lead without considering the consequences.
Regrettably, Lin Feiyin had saved their lives, so even when she became a burden, they couldn't just abandon her. Because of this, they had faced countless dangers, and ultimately, it was also because of her that Fang Yuyang met his miserable death! How could Fang Yuxin still like her? Any initial goodwill had been completely worn away!
Now, none of it had happened yet. She wouldn't seek revenge on Lin Feiyin over the events in her dream, but she also didn't wish to have any further involvement with her.
Thus, Fang Yuxin said sternly, "We were just passing by and noticed there were people here, so we came to check it out. Since you all are fine, we'll be leaving now." After speaking, she grabbed Fang Yuyang, ready to turn and walk away.
But Lin Feiyin interjected, "Wait! We have nine injured here. Since you've come, why not help by taking them to the hospital? Also, was there an earthquake outside? And what's with these zombies, do you know what's going on?"
Her attitude was very calm, neither overly humble nor commanding, but it was this attitude of taking things for granted that greatly upset Fang Yuxin. She remembered that in the dream, Lin Feiyin was the same way: acting without considering the consequences or others' wishes, just doing how she pleased. Remarkably natural in manner, not seeming contrived at all, making those who would refuse appear petty.
But the Lin Feiyin in her dream had saved her and Fang Yuyang's lives; they had no choice but to compromise. This Lin Feiyin had no such ties with them!
So Fang Yuxin directly stated, "We have other matters and can't help. Just a heads-up, there are a lot of zombies outside; you should be cautious. We've nearly cleared out the zombies in this commercial center, but still be careful when you go outside. It'd be best to find some weapons for self-defense."
After speaking, she pulled Fang Yuyang to leave, but Lin Feiyin spoke again, this time noticeably displeased, "How can you just leave like this! We still have injured people here, you can't just leave. Don't you have any compassion?"
Initially, Fang Yuyang didn't understand why Fang Yuxin disliked Lin Feiyin, but following Lin Feiyin's second outburst, he understood. He hadn't planned to speak, as bullying a woman was really against his principles. But hearing her accusation, he couldn't help himself; clenching his fist, he turned and coldly glanced at Lin Feiyin and those beside her, chuckling coldly, "If we had no compassion, we wouldn't have come to rescue you at all! Remember, saving you was out of kindness, not obligation!"
After he finished speaking, Fang Yuyang grabbed Fang Yuxin and quickly walked out. He was worried that if he stayed any longer, he wouldn't be able to restrain himself from hitting the woman! Their steps were quick, even if those people intended to follow, they couldn't catch up. Once they were far away, Fang Yuyang couldn't help but ask Fang Yuxin in irritation, "Xinxin, next time keep your distance from that inexplicable woman, and don't bother with her!"
Fang Yuxin nodded with a smile, quite satisfied with the outcome. In the dream, because Lin Feiyin had saved them, siblings, Fang Yuyang initially had a good impression of Lin Feiyin. However, after Lin Feiyin's flaws were exposed, Fang Yuyang had suffered greatly. Now, they no longer had to be involved with Lin Feiyin, and even Fang Yuyang had lost his fondness for her, so Fang Yuxin didn't have to worry that Fang Yuyang would foolishly fall for Lin Feiyin in the future.
After the two left, they got into the car and drove away from the shopping center. Not long after driving out, Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang saw through the rearview mirror a private car entering the shopping center, probably to look for supplies. They glanced once and paid it no more attention, continuing to drive into the city.
…
Lin Feiyin watched the retreating figures of the two with astonishment, frowning and speaking discontentedly, "Those two are too much, refusing even to help!" After she spoke, she looked at a few injured people and asked with a worried expression, "Are you all right? Should we go out first? We should be able to find someone to help."
The others nodded their heads, and one person asked, "Feiyin, what do you think those two people were doing just now? Their outfits were so cool."
At that moment, Lin Feiyin remembered the attire of those two. They were dressed in tight clothes that perfectly outlined their figures, the man handsome and attractive, the woman sexy and charming, especially their outfits, like something out of a movie, but who knew who they really were.
She scoffed, "Who knows what they were up to, they might have been playing COSPLAY. Let's just get out of here, I don't know what the situation is like outside, and my phone has had no signal, which is really strange."
The group walked cautiously, carefully avoiding the corpses on the ground as they moved. In the darkness, the survivors whispered among themselves, their expressions varied. Particularly the nine injured people didn't speak, their pale faces looking exceedingly frightening. Because it was so dark and everyone else was also in bad shape, no one had yet realized there was something wrong with them.
Lin Feiyin checked her phone again, which still showed no signal, and the battery was down to one bar. Thinking about the zombies and those two oddly dressed people, she felt a deep worry inside.
Could it be... the end of the world had truly come?
——————————————————
A new character makes an appearance in this text, modeled after the grandiose female leads in certain TV shows and some people encountered in real life, a bit of the author's wicked fun, welcome to discuss.
The situation was worse than Fang Yuyang had anticipated, but for Fang Yuxin, even though she had already seen the same scene in her dream, the sight still shocked her heart. At the same time, it further convinced her that everything in her dream was a warning from the heavens!
The condition of the roads was not good, in fact very bad. Some sections were damaged, and there were even large cracks. Buildings on both sides of the road had collapsed. Whenever Fang Yuyang and Fang Yuxin encountered severely damaged areas, they would stop to look for Elemental Stones. However, the chances of finding Elemental Stones were very low, and by the time the two of them entered the urban area, they had only found three stones.
From time to time, they encountered zombies on the road. If there were few, Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang would get out of the car to deal with them; if there were many, the two of them would avoid them first. Because both of them were vigilant, they did not encounter any danger.
Parking the car at the intersection, Fang Yuyang climbed onto the roof and looked around with binoculars, then shook his head at Fang Yuxin, "Xinxin, we can't go any further, with just the two of us, getting trapped would mean we can't get out."
The situation in the city was much worse than in the suburbs. Because of the dense architecture and the high population density, the number of zombies was very large. The road conditions where they were had already been bad, and it would only get worse further on. There were even many abandoned vehicles on the roads; going forward would risk getting trapped and unable to escape.
Fang Yuxin nodded her head. Her desire to venture into the city was not to show off, but simply to verify if reality matched the dream. She was a rational person and did not believe everything in an unusually realistic dream was true. In her heart, she had always been reluctant to believe in an apocalyptic world.
However, everything they had come across on their journey corroborated that dream. Now, looking at the wandering zombies and the collapsed buildings in the distance, she had to accept, albeit unwillingly, that the apocalypse was indeed real.
Seeing the zombies gathering in the distance, Fang Yuxin quickly said, "Brother, let's head back." They had enough supplies in their hands; there was no need to take risks by going into the city and collecting resources, so it was natural not to risk getting caught.
Fang Yuyang nodded, and then they both lightly jumped down from the roof of the car. Just as they opened the car door to get in, three sedans suddenly rushed out from the side, surrounding them.
The three sedans blocked the road ahead and behind them, and then the car doors opened, and ten men quickly ran down, all holding weapons. Except for the leader, who was a bald man in his thirties or forties, the others were all young, ranging from their twenties to seventeen or eighteen. Judging by their outfits, they were gangsters—not the high-tier ones. The bald leader wore a black tank top, his arms tattooed with fierce ghost faces; he looked very fierce.
With a cigarette in his mouth and a machete over two feet long in his right hand, he first glanced at Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang, then paused at the sight of the SUV between them. He pinched the cigarette in his left hand, blew a smoke ring, and disdainfully said, "If you know what's good for you, leave the car behind, and follow me obediently. If I'm in a good mood, maybe I'll even spare your lives."
As soon as the words left his mouth, a fat man standing by his side spoke lewdly, "Fourth Master, this chick is pretty hot; why not keep her around… heh heh heh heh~" He didn't finish his sentence, but his intention was clear.
Bald glanced at Fang Yuxin, and of course he had noticed that she was very attractive. If it had been the past, he would have definitely tried to get his hands on such premium goods. But now, what he desired more was that black SUV! One look and it was clear that the vehicle had been modified; its performance in all aspects must be excellent. If he could get his hold of it, it would certainly be much safer than the clunker he was driving now!
He had seen with his own eyes how zombies dragged people out of cars! Every time he thought of that scene, he felt fear in his heart. Therefore, the priority was to get a good car first! However, Fat Old Seven was right; this girl was indeed a beauty, a rarity. It would be a pity to kill her just like that. If she would obediently listen and follow him, that would be great.
With that thought, Bald couldn't help but stick out his tongue and lick his lips, greedily eyeing the black SUV opposite him as well as Fang Yuxin standing beside it. As for Fang Yuyang on the other side, he was ignored. Bald was not the best looking, and he always disliked men who looked better than him, especially those who obviously came from wealth.
He signaled his underlings with a glance to surround them, grabbed a cigarette and fiercely took a drag, tossed it to the ground, and crushed it underfoot unceremoniously, saying, "What's this? You refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit? Don't even ask who Fourth Master is?" After saying that, he deliberately gripped the handle of his knife and his arm muscles bulged exaggeratedly. Then he slammed the tip of his knife into the ground with force, easily piercing the hard surface.
Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang exchanged glances, realizing that Bald was deliberately warning them. However, neither of them was frightened. Fang Yuxin whispered to Fang Yuyang, "It should be a strength enhancement, brother, be careful."
Fang Yuyang nodded, not saying a word, and directly drew his Miao Saber. A young man not too far away, holding an iron rod, saw him pull out the knife and subconsciously charged over with the rod. Fang Yuyang delivered a kick to his abdomen, sending the man flying away. The others hadn't expected him to act so directly; at first they were stunned, then Bald yelled, "Attack together! Finish him!" After a pause, he added, "And be careful, all of you. Don't touch the car!"
The fat man behind him greedily glanced at Fang Yuxin, hesitation flickering across his greasy face, and then followed up with, "Keep that girl alive! We'll capture her!"
Upon hearing that, Fang Yuyang's already stern visage became instantly shrouded in a layer of frost. He snorted coldly and became even less merciful with his attacks—playing for keeps. Now that it was the end of the world, he wasn't afraid of being investigated for killing someone.
Bald charged directly at Fang Yuyang, initially planning to take him on personally, but after seeing Fang Yuyang's fierce moves, he hesitated and slowed down, only instructing his men to go forward. Although he was vicious, he wasn't stupid. The fat man, however, made a beeline for Fang Yuxin, saying as he moved, "Fourth Master, I'll go grab that bitch, and she won't dare to resist."
Bald nodded, glanced at the Miao Saber on Fang Yuxin's waist, and his eyes flickered but he remained silent. Initially, he hadn't taken Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang seriously, but after Fang Yuyang made his move, he realized he had misjudged. Although Fang Yuxin hadn't acted yet, she was dressed similarly to Fang Yuyang, so he was cautious, intending to have the fat man test her.
Fang Yuxin watched the fat man charging at her, a cold smile on her lips, and quickly drew her Miao Saber.
