☆、 Pure, Soft, and Adorable Little Zombie Bottom, Possessive and Overbearing Ability User Top (44)
Apart from Shen Xuanmo, who was looking at the obedient young man in his arms with wandering thoughts, everyone else’s footsteps were a bit heavy.
Having gone through a fierce battle, everyone was thoughtful. They tacitly remained silent, and the dilapidated, empty streets were eerily quiet.
It wasn’t until they reached the place where they had parked the cars earlier that the silence was broken: “Everyone, check the numbers and prepare to get in the cars!”
As he spoke, he was about to carry Nan Qing into one of the cars.
At this moment, the person who was in the same group as Su Qingqing hesitated but still spoke, “Boss, Su Qingqing doesn’t seem to have kept up.”
“And one car is missing…”
Only then did everyone realize that the woman seemed to have disappeared when the zombies appeared. Hearing that a car was missing made them feel even more incredulous.
Shen Xuanmo’s entire mind and body were on Nan Qing, so naturally, he wouldn’t pay attention to her. It was only now that he realized she was gone.
“Damn it! This woman wouldn’t have run off with the supplies, would she!” someone vented angrily. They were already miserable enough, but now they discovered that the food they risked their lives to find had been taken away. Who wouldn’t be angry?
The others fell silent upon hearing this, because Su Qingqing was a space Ability User, so all their supplies were stored with her.
“Could something have happened to her?”
“Impossible, I was always rushing ahead. How could anything happen to her? I think she just ran off with the supplies…”
Someone retorted, but there was a hint of uncertainty in their voice.
Logically speaking, she was well-protected by everyone, always at the back. Nothing should have happened to her.
Now that she was missing, it was no wonder they suspected the worst. After all, they had obtained a lot of food today by risking their lives, and anyone might be tempted.
Shen Xuanmo frowned tightly. He didn’t expect Su Qingqing to disappear at this critical moment.
She was not only a member of the team but also the key to whether their trip would be successful.
In the apocalypse, having a space Ability User meant being able to store a large amount of supplies, which was a guarantee of survival for them.
This was also why Shen Xuanmo could tolerate a woman with impure motives in the base. Space Ability Users were simply too rare.
“If she really ran off with the supplies, what do we do? Wouldn’t we have worked for nothing?” another person asked anxiously.
Shen Xuanmo took a deep breath, knowing that now was not the time for mutual recriminations. “The most important thing now is to find Su Qingqing and figure out what happened,” Shen Xuanmo analyzed calmly.
As for the missing car, it was also possible that someone else passing by had driven it away.
Since Shen Xuanmo had spoken, the others didn’t say anything more.
“Send a few people to look for Su Qingqing, and remember to pay attention to the movements of the surrounding zombies. If you find anything wrong, return immediately…”
The group nodded. Soon, they selected two people whose abilities were still usable to look for her, but the search in the ruins proved fruitless. They didn’t see Su Qingqing’s shadow anywhere.
The two returned dejectedly, with expressions as if the sky had fallen. One could imagine how uncomfortable they felt.
However, none of them expected that the person they thought had run off with the supplies was silently slumped in her room at the base.
After pushing the person, Su Qingqing fled the scene in a panic. When she realized she had gone far, she didn’t dare to go back. She simply drove back to the base in trepidation.
As soon as she returned to a safe environment, she felt both terrified and excited: She had just killed someone, pushed that little fool! Serves him right, if you block her path, don’t blame her…
Su Qingqing’s eyes were filled with expectant fanaticism, incomparably ardent, with a morbid, twisted, possessive light.
She thought, concocting several excuses in her mind, just waiting for the others to return.
On this side, Shen Xuanmo, seeing the two people returning with drooping heads, had a general idea in his mind.
“Nan Qing?” Only then did he realize that Nan Qing in the passenger seat had quietly fallen asleep at some point, probably because waiting for the woman had taken too long.
In his sleep, Nan Qing seemed to be dreaming of something. He gently bit his red lips, and a few traces of blush could be faintly seen on his pale cheeks.
His long eyelashes trembled slightly, like two small brushes, and there were still drops of water on his eyelashes, making him extremely endearing.
Shen Xuanmo took off his coat and gently covered the young man’s body. Although he knew Nan Qing wouldn’t be cold, he still took care of Nan Qing as if he were a human.
Because there was one less car, there were two people in the back seat. Perhaps because they saw Shen Xuanmo’s actions, they very consciously didn’t make a sound.
The moment the coat touched him, Nan Qing’s body shuddered slightly, and his voice was tearful, “Awooo… Xuanmo.”
With heavy hearts, the group returned to the base. Just as they got out of the car, a familiar, charming female voice came.
“Brother Shen, you’re finally back!” The voice carried an unnoticeable flattery.
“Y-you came back early?” someone couldn’t help but ask.
“Why did you leave without saying a word? Do you know…” Before he could finish speaking, Su Qingqing put on a pitiful look, as if to say: How could you say that to me?
Su Qingqing pretended not to hear that person’s words. She walked forward, approached Shen Xuanmo, and said with feigned anxiety, “Brother Shen, I encountered a zombie horde on the way back, and the car broke down. It was hard enough for me to escape back.”
Hearing this, most people’s faces showed speechless expressions: Thank you, because of you, they ran back again.
“I was only risking my life to return to the base alone for the sake of the supplies…” Su Qingqing became more and more enthusiastic as she spoke, almost shedding a few tears.
She looked around and didn’t see Nan Qing, she couldn’t have been happier, even happier than winning the lottery.
She thought, how could Shen Xuanmo really care about that kind of good-for-nothing? He’ll die sooner or later, he was just playing around.
The smile on Su Qingqing’s face gradually bloomed: Serves him right for not knowing his place and daring to look down on her!
Shen Xuanmo raised his eyes and looked at Su Qingqing, his eyes cold.
Nan Qing was also awakened by the noise. He rubbed his eyes and looked outside in a daze, then hummed and closed his eyes again.
Shen Xuanmo didn’t say anything, there was plenty of time to find out.
He simply picked up the drowsy Nan Qing and walked into the base, not even giving a glance to the woman behind him who was chattering like a sparrow.
“H-he, he…”
Shen Xuanmo: “???”
“What’s wrong with Nan Qing?” Shen Xuanmo’s tone wasn’t gentle. Considering the little one in his arms, he lowered his voice: “Everyone go back to rest, we’ll talk tonight.”
He didn’t like the way this woman looked at Nan Qing.
Seeing this, Su Qingqing immediately changed the subject, “H-he, is he asleep?”
“Mm.” For no reason, Shen Xuanmo just wanted to take Nan Qing back quickly. It was too noisy here, especially with this woman.
Su Qingqing hurriedly followed, explaining about the supplies as she walked, occasionally glancing at the young man who was tightly covered by the coat, seemingly wanting to confirm the young man’s condition.
“Brother Shen, you must believe me, okay? I really…”
“If there’s anything, we’ll talk about it later.” Nearing his and Nan Qing’s home, Shen Xuanmo was displeased. He turned around and said to Su Qingqing, “Your house isn’t this way.”
Shen Xuanmo frowned, his intuition telling him that things weren’t that simple. This woman’s behavior was too abnormal.
Su Qingqing heard the disgust in the man’s words, her face turning ashen. Just as she was about to say something, the man had already walked away, leaving her in disarray in the wind.
