Thankfully, Xu Fengâs intentions were to follow Xiao Sa and protect Bai Jing. Even more fortunately, he kept these thoughts in his heart and didnât publicize them. If Bai Jing, whose heart was smaller than the tip of a needle knew of this, Xu Feng probably wouldnât be able to live peacefully for a long time in the future.
Li Ran was a psychic ability user. Even if he didnât use his abilities to scan, his hearing was still more sensitive than others. Right now, his cheeks were on fire, and his expression was full of embarrassment. Looking at Xu Fengâs serious face, he couldnât help sighing over the fact that ignorance was a blessing. Although he was only eighteen years old and was still a pure young man, thanks to the internet, how could he not understand what was going on?
He glanced at Wu Guoan, then took note of the time. Although Li Ran was still quite young and thin-skinned, he still adjusted his expression and forced on a veneer of calm to say, âLetâs go first. Itâs not that early anymore, so we should go get something to eat. Brother Sa and Young Master Bai probably havenât eaten yet either.â

âYes, letâs go and get something to eat first.â As soon as Wu Guoan heard this, he rushed down the steps and prepared to go. His pace was frantic as though there was a ghost chasing after him, and he completely forgot that there was now a shortage of supplies. Where were they supposed to go to get this food?
When he arrived downstairs, Wu Guoan finally heaved a sigh of relief. He could only hope that the two people in the room who were now âgoing at itâ didnât discover that heâd been there. Only, was that possible? He had been too nervous earlier, and the bang of him closing the door was so loud that anyone would be shocked. Wu Guoanâs face was bitter; his intestines were green with regret.
Bai Jing was turned on; hearing the sound of the door opening, he tensed up, kicking Xiao Sa out of bed with his foot. His face that had been flushed with arousal showed a trace of embarrassed anger, and no matter how one looked, it was incredibly alluring, âYour little helper is back.â
Xiao Sa hadnât had time to defend himself and was kicked head on. He was a little annoyed, but then he looked up and saw the beautiful curves of Bai Jingâs pale body. Displayed before his eyes were Bai Jingâs delicate clavicle, bright and clean skin, and the important parts of his body half hidden and half on display; Xiao Saâs eyes shone, and he immediately turned into a wolf, pulling his lover tightly into his arms. He heard the sound of the door closing and arrogantly glanced at Bai Jing, âTheyâre gone again.â He meant that nobody would disturb them now, and he could do whatever he wanted.
Bai Jing dodged sideways, wriggling around in Xiao Saâs arms. People who were at the brink of desire shouldnât be provoked; the two of them fought and messed around, and soon rolled together again.
Xiao Sa stroked up and down along his loverâs smooth skin with his hands and finally couldnât help exclaiming, âIt feels so good!â
Weâre sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so weâre going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Bai Jing glared at him angrily, âIf youâre going to do it, then do it. Hurry up!â
Bai Jing didnât know if he should be upset or ashamed; he also enjoyed it a lot, but dammit, could anyone tell him why everyone except him would develop abilities, or failing that, become stronger when they drank water from the spring in his space? Even Xiao Saâs power went up in ranks after soaking in the spring, but he, the owner of the space, was different. Not only did his skin become smoother, his body became more and more moisturized. Even that place would turn damp when stimulated, as though it was specifically preparing for others to enter. He really had no dignity left!
âHaha!â Xiao Sa no longer teased him and concentrated on the rhythm of their bodies. Provoking his precious lover would ultimately result in his own misfortune. For the sake of his future welfare, he felt that the most urgent thing to do was to feed his baby well.
Two hours later, after being fully satiated, Bai Jing laid there on the bed and didnât want to move at all. Xiao Sa on the other hand was brimming with energy, the area between his brows expressing his joy and satisfaction.
Xiao Sa was a good man who even knew to help his lover clean up afterwards. He bent over, preparing to pick Bai Jing up.
âDonât come over!â Bai Jing roared as he glared fiercely at Xiao Sa. It was unknown where he scrounged up the energy from, but he didnât even take any pajamas before dashing straight into the bathroom and hurriedly locking the door. He thought bitterly that if he let Xiao Sa help him clean up again, he would be a pig!
Xiao Sa innocently looked at the bathroom door but did not insist. He knew he had tossed Little Jing about quite fiercely, but he couldnât help it. What kind of hot-blooded man would be able to resist when they helped their lover take a bath?!
By the time Bai Jing came out of the bathroom, Xiao Sa had tidied up the room. Seeing that Bai Jing was once again neatly dressed, Xiao Saâs heart was filled with regret. Once again, he lamented that Bai Jing had an almighty space. How great would it be if he had no clothes!
Bai Jing was too lazy to pay attention to him. He knew what Xiao Sa was thinking just by glancing at his expression. Although he was now relaxed from a soak in the spring, he would never let Xiao Sa know that. Bai Jing went straight back to the bedroom, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep as soon as his head hit the mattress. What he needed to do now was recover!
Xiao Sa touched his nose and knew better than to provoke his lover again. He lightly covered Bai Jing with a quilt and gave him a light butterfly kiss before finally preparing to go to the bathroom to take a bath himself. He perfectly expressed his intimacy and consideration for his lover. Xiao Saâs mind was very clear about how the accounts were calculated; the little kitten whose fur was all puffed up needed to be petted the right way. If he really provoked Bai Jing, he would get more than he bargained for.
Wu Guoan, Xu Feng, and Li Ran, who had to suffer a lot, wandered outside for several hours looking for food. However, when they saw dry steamed bread and expired pickles, Wu Guoan shriveled up. Although they usually ate these things, while Xu Feng and Li Ran might not know, Wu Guoan knew very well that Bai Jing could start off by handing out instant noodles, and there had even been steak and wine last night. How could they not feel ashamed bringing things like biscuits and steamed bread to them?
Wu Guoan took great pains to scrape together enough points to trade for a can of luncheon meat and two bags of bread.

âYo! The sun came out from the West today. Stingy Wuâs actually being generous.â Xu Feng was incredibly disdainful about this, but it wasnât clear if this was out of jealousy or some other emotion.
âWatch your words. I know how culpable we were back then, but we all came from the same place, and Iâve also encountered my own share of difficulties. Now that Brother Sa is back, we need to work together.â Wu Guoan sighed helplessly. He had known that news of Xiao Sa and Bai Jing arriving at K City Base could not be concealed, and that Xu Feng would come looking for them sooner or later, potentially discrediting him right in front of Xiao Sa with no choice for him but to passively listen to it. In that case, he might as well come out and find Xu Feng so that Xu Feng would owe him a favour. Otherwise, he wouldnât consider such a thankless job.
âHmph!â Xu Feng gave him a disdainful glance and spoke no more. He was different from Wu Guoan. He was a strength ability user who had nothing to rely on but sheer brute force. Wu Guoan was a fire ability user with strong attack power and had joined the Cheetah Mercenary Corps after he came to the K City Base. Although it couldnât be said that his life in the Cheetah Mercenary Corps was easy, they were much stronger than ordinary small teams. Xu Feng couldnât really blame Wu Guoan for anything â after all, everyone aimed for the top â at least Wu Guoan hadnât hit him while he was down. Only, no matter what, it was true that he had abandoned his former team, and Xu Feng always felt a little residual discomfort about it.
âStop arguing, you guys. Xiaoxiao still has a sausage saved up that sheâs been reluctant to eat this whole time. Iâll go and exchange for it later, what do you guys think?â Li Ran was still young and hurried to act as a mediator. His once round face had become thin and gaunt, his sallow cheeks showing a maturity that was incongruous with his age.
âAh! Letâs go.â Xu Feng exhaled heavily and patted Li Ran on the shoulder. âLetâs forget about Xiaoxiao for now. Itâs about time now, letâs go back and have a look. Brother Sa doesnât lack these things.â
Li Ran gave a close-mouthed smile. He had just been saying it; that sausage was Xiaoxiaoâs lifeblood that she had always said was being saved for her mother to eat. Although her mother was already dead, how could he bear to go and trade for it? He tilted his head and looked at Xu Feng, âHow do you know that Brother Sa isnât lacking for anything?â
Xu Feng laughed, and the gloom on his face dispersed. âYouâre still young and donât know, but Brother Sa is really capable. Before the apocalypse, your elder brother went with him to gather materials.â

Xu Fengâs words suddenly stopped, and his expression turned bitter, âLittle Ran.â
Li Ran forced out a smile, âItâs okay, Brother Feng. You donât need to comfort me. I know that my elder brother definitely isnât dead. No news is the best news.â
âYou child!â Xu Feng felt a little sour in his heart. He didnât know whether to be happy that Little Ran was sensible or be sad about his perseverance. It had already been half a year since they had been separated from Li Liang, and there had been no news. The situation had been so chaotic back then, and there were so many zombies around him that the chance of survival was almost zero. Looking at the resolved face in front of him, how could he bear to tell the child that his elder brother was dead?
Wu Guoanâs mood was also heavy, and he really couldnât bear to shatter this childâs last hope. He also knew what the situation had been like back then, and Li Liang could be said to have died for Li Ran. At the time, Li Ran had no powers, the global weather patterns had abruptly changed, and there was ice and snow everywhere. They had fled to a food processing factory thinking that it was a place that could save their lives, but unexpectedly, they stepped into hell.
Their team had been rather chaotic back then and hadnât gone through the trials of life and death. They had no tacit understanding between them; there was no trust, and betrayal was everywhere. Li Ran was a kind-hearted boy, and Li Liang protected him very well, but he never thought that his own teammates would launch a sneak attack against him. Although Li Liang rescued Li Ran, Li Liang himself had been trapped instead. Although they didnât see Li Liang get caught by the zombies, there had been no news of him since then. After that, Li Ran had developed his powers.
âCome on, letâs go to see Brother Sa. Bai Jing is a Young Master from the Capital and has some influence as well as a wide network of contacts. Perhaps he really can help you find news of your elder brother.â Wu Guoan spoke comfortingly, but Heavens knew what kind of crap he was spouting.
Li Ran really believed it, and a smile that had never appeared since the outbreak of the apocalypse broke out solidly across his face.

Xu Feng gave Wu Guoan a hard look. His eyes were even wider than a copper bell. What kind of rubbish was this guy spouting?
Wu Guoan tried to open his eyes wide and glare back at Xu Feng. Having hope was always better than having none.
The few of them were silent along the way. Xu Feng and Wu Guoan glared at each other while Li Ran sank into the hope of being able to find his brother. After arriving at the apartment, Wu Guoan perked up his ears and listened to the noises inside before finally carefully opening the door.
