Chapter 251: Just squeeze in.
City Z.
Not long after Shousui and He Ci left, as it was getting late, Zuo Xiao led the remaining four companions, Mo Yuankai, Chi Yu, Yifeng and Shouchen, out of the underground experimental base and went to the suburbs to find a house to settle down.
Before Shousui and He Ci left, they left enough food and water for Chi Yu and the others to last for three days. Since meat was not suitable for storage, the two zombies, Mo Yuankai and Shouchen, could only be fed a full meal. Before Shousui and He Ci came back, they had to find some wild game to fill their stomachs or endure it first.
Fortunately, zombies can survive for at least two days after eating. If they still don’t have food after two days, they will be more likely to lose control due to extreme hunger.
If nothing unexpected happens, two days will be enough for Shousui and his men to make a round trip. Besides, Mo Yuankai and Shouchen are not the kind of people who can't carry anything and just wait for others to feed them. As long as there are some wild birds alive nearby, they will have no worries about not being able to hunt food.
Several people divided the work and planned to simply clean the dirty and messy house in front of them. Mo Yuankai was responsible for cleaning the living room. Just as he finished cleaning and was about to take his backpack to the room upstairs, he ran into Zuo Xiao who came out of a house when he went upstairs.
When Zuo Xiao saw him, he smiled and dragged the man to the room he had just come out of. He turned around and said to Mo Yuankai, "Akai, you live in this room, right? I cleaned it out especially for you."
Before Mo Yuankai could react, Zuo Xiao brought him to the door of the room. Just at this time, Chi Yu finished cleaning up and walked out of the next room.
The house was so small, Chi Yu naturally heard what Zuo Xiao said to Mo Yuankai just now. He glanced at the two people at the door, and finally his eyes fell on Mo Yuankai. Chi Yu did not speak, but just waited silently by the side, waiting for Mo Yuankai's reply. He wanted to know what Mo Yuankai would choose?
When he saw Chi Yu coming out of the next room, the smile on Zuo Xiao's face froze for a moment, but it did not disappear.
Mo Yuankai glanced at Chi Yu with some expectation in his eyes, expecting Chi Yu to say to him, "Let's live in this room?" or directly snatch their shared backpack and drag him into the room he had prepared, including the bag, to declare his sovereignty.
But Mo Yuankai waited for a long time but didn't get any of the ideas he expected. Instead, Zuo Xiao, who was standing next to him, saw him in a daze. The young man directly tried to take the backpack from his hand and said, "Let me help you take it in."
Mo Yuankai held the strap of the backpack tightly and explained to Zuo Xiao with a slightly embarrassed expression, "This backpack is not mine, it belongs to Chi Yu." As he spoke, he turned around and handed the backpack in his hand to Chi Yu.
"Ah? Is that so?" Seeing this, Zuo Xiao glanced at Chi Yu and gave him a deep look.
Chi Yu instinctively took the backpack, and then Mo Yuankai turned to Zuo Xiao and continued, "Well, you should stay in the room. Chi Yu and I can just squeeze in."
Faced with Mo Yuankai's rejection, Zuo Xiao did not show any discouragement. He just felt a little sorry and said, "Okay then." After that, he went downstairs first.
Chi Yu glanced at Mo Yuankai. Although there was still no expression on her face, she felt a little surprised and delighted by Mo Yuankai's behavior.
Just as they cleaned the living room and several rooms upstairs of the house, it was already completely dark outside. Since the power system here had suffered serious damage, they could only rely on the candles and flashlights brought by Zuo Xiao for lighting.
Yifeng spontaneously patrolled around the house to ensure the surroundings were safe before returning home.
Except for Mo Yuankai and Shouchen who had already eaten their fill after being fed by He Ci, Chi Yu, Yifeng, Rong Yi and Zuo Xiao were sitting around the candle-lit dining table in the living room, preparing to enjoy a simple dinner.
The dinner for the four of them was just a bucket of instant noodles for each person, plus a boiled egg and a slice of bread. The hot water for the instant noodles was bottled mineral water, which was heated by gas. The raw eggs were left by He Ci. Chi Yu was afraid that they would not be full with just one bucket of instant noodles, so he cooked a few more in another pot.
Seeing that they were eating, Mo Yuankai had nothing to do so he thought about going out to keep watch. This place was not as safe as K City, so it would be better to have someone guarding at night to prevent some strange zombies and dead beasts from approaching.
When Mo Yuankai was about to reach the door, he was stopped by Chi Yu who had chased him out and stuffed a still-warm egg in the shell into his hand.
"Give them to them. I'm not hungry." After looking at the eggs in his hand, Mo Yuankai smiled warmly and said to Chi Yu.
Chi Yu held Mo Yuankai's hand and asked him to hold it. She smiled at the man and explained, "They all have it. I cooked it for everyone. You can eat it too!"
"Okay," Mo Yuankai accepted the boiled egg after hearing Chi Yu's request. He smiled and lowered his head to whisper in Chi Yu's ear, "Thank you, my wife. You are so nice!"
Hearing Mo Yuankai calling him like this, Chi Yu blushed instantly and couldn't help but push the man lightly, "Go to hell! Don't you have any shame?"
The smile on Mo Yuankai's face became even more intense, and the corners of his mouth were almost stretched to his ears. As if he sensed a burning gaze on him, he raised his eyes and glanced towards the dining table, but happened to meet Zuo Xiao's gaze, who was looking at him without blinking.
When he saw the two people at the door whispering so intimately, Zuo Xiao looked at Mo Yuankai with a touch of loneliness on his face. His clear eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of crystal, and he unconsciously revealed a sense of grievance.
The smile on Mo Yuankai's face froze for a moment, then he put away his smile with a slight embarrassment, and glanced away from Zuo Xiao with an unnatural expression.
Chi Yu didn't notice Zuo Xiao's gaze. After joking with Mo Yuankai, he went back to eating his instant noodles.
