When Huo Yiming and Wan Tong returned to the team, they brought Mo Xing with them.

Liu Ting and Xiao Liu recognized him at first glance, and ran up to stare at Mo Xing, saying, “Boss, where did you find this kid?”

“My younger brother,” Huo Yiming said casually.

He had never formally met Mo Xing before.

He had only seen Mo Xing once when their mother took Mo Xing shopping in a mall.

As for how Mo Xing recognized him, Huo Yiming was not sure.

Upon hearing Huo Yiming’s words, Liu Ting and Xiao Liu were both stunned.

The Boss actually had a younger brother? But upon closer look, there was some resemblance in their facial features.

Qiu Jiji looked at the boy held by Wan Tong, frowned, and thought that there seemed to be such a character in the plot, but wasn’t he supposed to appear later? And he seemed to have lost a leg, right?

“You’re so cute! What’s your name?” Qiu Jiji bent down, smiled, and reached out to touch Mo Xing’s head, but Mo Xing dodged away.

Her hand awkwardly dropped to the side.

Mo Xing suddenly hugged Wan Tong’s arm as if intentionally, and sweetly called out, “Sister, you smell the best.”

“…” Wan Tong pinched his cheek. “Xingxing, you’re the cutest.”

Qiu Jiji’s expression changed slightly as she awkwardly retreated to the side. She had just finished killing zombies and couldn’t take a shower in the space, so naturally she had some odor.

But she didn’t believe that Li Wantong would smell better than her. Wasn’t she also someone who had walked among piles of zombies?

This little brat was just as annoying as Li Wantong.

As he watched the interaction between Wan Tong and Mo Xing, Huo Yiming’s expression also turned cold.

Beside him, Liu Ting faintly heard the sound of his knuckles cracking as he clenched his fists.

—Does the Boss even need to be jealous of his own little brother…

Wan Tong and Mo Xing also sensed something sensitively and turned to look at Huo Yiming.

There was a murderous intent.

Mo Xing stared at the man who was supposed to be his older brother, and tightened his grip on Wan Tong even harder, as if trying to say, “See? This man is really not a good person.“

Due to spending too much time clearing roadblocks, the team hadn’t entered H City yet and the sky was already getting dark. They moved to a nearby service area.

There were quite a few zombies nearby, and it took them another half an hour to clear them out. When they arrived at the entrance gate, they found it locked.

Liu Ting unlocked the gate and found some tables blocking the entrance, indicating that there were people inside.

The commotion outside had already caught the attention of the people inside, and soon a man with a gun, accompanied by eight or nine others, walked out, pointing the muzzle directly at Huo Yiming and his group.

“You guys are from S City? What do you want?” The middle-aged man in front seemed to have some strength.

“It’s dark, we’re looking for a place to rest,” Huo Yiming said in a low and unapproachable voice.

The middle-aged man sensed an unusual pressure and exchanged glances with his companions before opening the gate.

Because they knew that if they refused, they might be wiped out by the other party.

Wan Tong looked at the burly middle-aged man in the lead, squinted her eyes slightly, and couldn’t help but touch her chest where her heart was.

When enemies meet, their eyes turn red with anger.1

Mo Xing also held Wan Tong’s hand and whispered, “Sister, it’s him.”

The man’s name was Zhong Zhi. When the original owner was alone before, she met him in a survivor team. It was Zhong Zhi’s wife who had taken away her supplies and stabbed her with a knife.

However, at that time, the original owner was in a sorry state and looked different from her current self, so Zhong Zhi didn’t seem to recognize her and didn’t pay any attention to the existence of little Mo Xing.

Zhong Zhi seemed to have become the leader of the small team, and his greedy wife was still with him, but she was cowering in a corner, while Zhong Zhi had three young and beautiful women by his side.

The service area building was spacious, and after everyone found their seats and sat down, it was getting dark outside.

There was no electricity in the entire service area, and Huo Yiming, who had never understood the concept of being low-key, took out a generator and lit a lamp in the spacious room.

The earth-type ability user, Xiao Liu, sealed all the places where light leaked from the windows and doors to prevent the light from leaking out.

Zhong Zhi’s small team had nearly twenty people, although there were also ability users among them, they couldn’t compare with the abilities on Huo Yiming’s side at all, so they could only silently observe.

The three women around Zhong Zhi seemed to have their eyes fixed on Huo Yiming after seeing him.

Even Wan Tong could feel the longing and anticipation in their eyes.

But who is Huo Yiming? He doesn’t care about anyone, he doesn’t even want to look at anyone.

After setting up the lamp, everyone started preparing the food again.

Mo Xing took out a crystal nucleus and pulled Wan Tong to sit next to Huo Yiming. “I’ll give you this crystal nucleus, I want to drink soup and eat noodles.”

He had been craving for it for a long time.

“But that’s my crystal nucleus…” Wan Tong felt a little distressed.

“What’s yours is mine.” Mo Xing said seriously while fastening the backpack zipper.

“Pfft…” Yuan Xiaobai couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter, sneaking over to sit beside Liu Ting.

Only by following Boss Huo, can the food quality improve.

Liu Ting glanced at Huo Yiming and then reached out to take Mo Xing’s crystal nucleus.

Among the group of people, there were Xu Qing, Xiao Liu, and a water-type ability user named Long Yu.

When Qiu Jiji approached, Wan Tong suddenly asked her, “Hey, where did you go to wash your hair and take a bath? You changed your clothes too?”

Qiu Jiji was taken aback. She did take the opportunity to go into her space and wash up, although she changed into clothes of the same style as before. She didn’t expect Wan Tong to notice…

As Wan Tong’s voice fell, everyone looked at Qiu Jiji.

Qiu Jiji quickly denied it, blushing a little as she spoke, “How could that be? I’ve been with everyone the whole time, I just wiped off a bit.”

“Oh, I see. You wiped really well,” Wan Tong chuckled, then turned away and stopped talking to her.

Qiu Jiji’s space allowed her to come and go freely, and she guessed that Wan Tong had noticed that she had gone to take a bath. Originally, everyone would not pay attention to this, but now that Wan Tong brought it up, some people would definitely find it strange.

Although there was a water-type ability users in the team, the water they could produce was still limited, and using it to wash their hair or bathe was considered wasteful.

“You don’t allow others to be clean when you’re dirty yourself?” Huang Linlang suddenly spoke up, her voice sarcastic.

“I’m not as dirty as you,” Wan Tong retorted with a smirk.

Huang Linlang choked and couldn’t come up with a response.

Although Huo Yiming and Wan Tong were in a cold war, he still took great care of her. Her clothes were always new and she could even take a bath every day.

On the other hand, Huang Linlang couldn’t bear to use water and sometimes gave some to Qiu Jiji, so she couldn’t take a bath every day.

Huang Linlang turned to look at Qiu Jiji who was beside her, with a beautiful and clean face, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

It seemed like Qiu Jiji could make herself clean and refreshed every day…

Just now, they both had sweat and dust on their bodies, how did she manage to clean herself up so quickly? And why didn’t she share her secret?

“You women are so finicky. It’s already this late, and you’re still fussing over these things. Hehe, we men are the dirtiest, right?” Xiao Liu said with a sun-tanned face and a grin.

At the end, he met Huo Yiming’s sharp gaze and immediately backed down. “No, no, I take back what I said just now. Wantong isn’t finicky at all.”

Wan Tong : “…”

Qiu Jiji had originally planned to join Huo Yiming during the meal to talk about something, but now it was awkward to ask, so she could only walk to the side with Huang Linlang.

Huang Linlang didn’t like eating with men because she felt like she was losing in a fight.

After dinner, Wan Tong and Mo Xing leaned into a corner, but they didn’t rush to take out their sleeping bags.

Huo Yiming scanned the crowd and finally leaned against the wall in this corner as well.

But even so, there was still a gap between him and Wan Tong.

“Sister, let’s go seek revenge,” Mo Xing whispered in Wan Tong’s ear.

In fact, she hadn’t said anything about being bullied by Zhong Zhi in the survivor team before and almost got killed by him.

Huo Yiming was close enough to hear Mo Xing’s voice, and he threw a meaningful glance over.

“Do you know him?” He turned his head to look at Wan Tong, his deep and cold eyes revealing a complexity that was hard to understand.

He felt like he had missed many important moments with her.

This dissatisfaction and unwillingness slowly consumed his once hardened heart.

She had said before that he had changed after the apocalypse, becoming arrogant and self-centered.

He had never admitted it, and didn’t want to admit it.

Wan Tong met his black, cold eyes and felt a long-lost warmth.

He had never asked her why she left the team, nor given her a chance to explain, as if he had directly convicted her, thinking that she had run away with someone.

But now, he seemed to be softening towards her.
