Five years was enough time for Bai Yichen to treat Lin Jiawen as a close family member.
Of course, what he was more grateful for was that during such a long period of five years, Lin Jiawen never regarded him as a burden, and his attitude towards him did not change at all. This was also the reason why he felt that time passed so quickly without him noticing.
During these five years, Bai Yichen also tried to ask Lin Jiawen about the situation in the outside world, and learned that a survivor base had been established in the outside world. After that, Bai Yichen did not ask more deeply, and Lin Jiawen did not say much.
What made Bai Yichen feel fortunate was that Lin Jiawen had never once expressed his intention to move to the survivors' base. Since Lin Jiawen had no such idea, it was naturally even more impossible for Bai Yichen to mention it.
Because he knew very well in his heart that if Lin Jiawen wanted to move to the survivor base, he would be far less comfortable than he is now. After all, in the survivor base, you are an ordinary person, and that is enough to define everything about you.
Ordinary people like him who are protected by people with special powers, even if they can be exempted from hard work, have to be careful in their daily lives, otherwise they may accidentally anger other people with special powers. If Lin Jiawen is not around, he will be in great danger. After all, in the survivor base, the lives of ordinary people are the least valuable.
Because of these reasons, Bai Yichen has been staying in the house peacefully for the past five years and has not shown too much curiosity about the outside world. However, recently, Bai Yichen discovered that he may really not be able to stay in this paradise at the end of the world any longer.
The reason was that he had long discovered that a lot of the large amounts of food stored in the room would often disappear for no reason. Even though Lin Jiawen had never explained anything, he had already guessed that it was because five years was too long and no matter how well the food was kept, it could not be stored and began to mold and spoil. Not to mention the rice and wheat, the packaged foods that had a lot of preservatives added, even the most durable cans, now had a strange smell when some of them were opened.
Correspondingly, Lin Jiawen now comes back later and later every time he goes out, and brings back less and less things.
Finding food was not difficult for Lin Jiawen, who was a supernatural being. However, five years after the apocalypse, it was not an easy task for him to find food that had not rotted or spoiled. This forced him to expand his search range again and again, and he naturally came back later and later.
Bai Yichen saw Lin Jiawen's hard work. He knew that in the later period of the apocalypse, it would become increasingly difficult to find edible food in the ruins of the city. The main source of food for humans in the later period of the apocalypse was almost all planted and produced by ordinary people in the survivor base. Therefore, the reality of their food shortage was irreversible. In the end, they still had to go to the survivor base. Now, Bai Yichen felt that day was not far away.
…
In the nearly ruined city Z, a figure shuttled through the buildings like the wind. Every time he appeared, many zombies howled and pounced on him. However, these zombies, which made ordinary people terrified, could not catch up with the pace of that figure at all. Finally, this figure passed through almost half of the city Z at a rapid speed and came to a stronghold.
This stronghold is an area surrounded by several buildings, and there is a fence made of discarded automobile steel on the outside. It is obvious that there are always people guarding this stronghold. As soon as a figure is seen approaching rapidly, there is movement inside.
However, the people inside the stronghold did not shout or cry for fighting. Instead, they showed a little joy after seeing the people outside clearly. There was a commotion inside, and soon a small gap appeared in the steel fence. Several people ran out quickly. Judging from the speed at which they moved, they seemed to be people with special abilities.
When these people ran to a distance in front of the tall and thin black figure, they restrained themselves and stopped. Then the two sides seemed to have a conversation for a few words, and then the black figure threw a package to them.
The men were very excited when they saw the package. They immediately rushed over to open it and inspect the goods. After confirming that everything was correct, they waved inside. Soon, the iron fence opened a gap again, and another package was sent out.
The black figure opened the package, took a look, weighed it, nodded at them, and was about to turn around and leave. However, this time, the person who completed the transaction at this base did not watch him leave with admiration and respect as before. Instead, he stopped the black figure and said, "Mr. Lin, please wait a moment."
When Lin Jiawen heard the voice, he turned around in confusion and signaled with his eyes whether they had anything to say.
These people couldn't help but shudder when they came into contact with Lin Jiawen's dark and bottomless eyes. However, thinking of their upcoming migration, if they could get this powerful psychic to join them, then no matter which large survivor base they joined, they would have a place. Finally, the man named Gu Song gritted his teeth and said, "Dear Mr. Lin, because the zombies in City Z are becoming increasingly powerful, we have decided to migrate and merge into the largest survivor base in the south."
When Lin Jiawen heard Gu Song's words, he couldn't help but be distracted. So they were leaving too...
Gu Song's words did not end. After all, what he was going to say next was the key point. "Mr. Lin, we are the last survivor base in Z City. After we leave, Z City will have no food production area. There are very few small bases like ours outside now. For safety, everyone has merged into a large survivor base. I heard that the survivor base is not only safer, but also has more abundant supplies. The survivor base also welcomes powerful psychics. I believe that Mr. Lin, such a powerful psychic, will definitely get the best treatment in the survivor base. I wonder if Mr. Lin is willing to leave with us."
After Gu Song finished speaking, even though it was very stressful to look into the eyes of such a powerful psychic, he couldn't help but look up expectantly. After all, what he just said was the basis for him to persuade the other party to leave. They were already the last survivor base in City Z. After they left, there would be no base in the city that could provide them with food. No matter how powerful the psychic was, without food, could he survive on air
Gu Song’s words were indeed a big problem for Lin Jiawen, and he couldn’t help but fall into silence.
Seeing that his words seemed to have an effect, Gu Song quickly struck while the iron was hot. He bowed respectfully and said, "Dear Mr. Lin, we will set off before winter. No matter if Mr. Lin changes his mind at any time before then, we welcome you."
After hearing what Gu Song said, Lin Jiawen finally nodded, but didn't say much else. Instead, he looked up at the sky, turned around and quickly disappeared into the tall buildings.
Gu Song watched the black figure leaving quickly, and his eyes couldn't help but flash with envy. What a powerful ability it was to be able to come and go freely in City Z where zombies were everywhere. They were both psychics, so why was there such a big difference between them? But he didn't know if it was his illusion, why did he feel that Mr. Lin seemed to be in a hurry when he left than when he came
It must be an illusion. What could possibly make such a powerful psychic so anxious
At this time, Lin Jiawen, who was regarded as a hermit in Gu Song's mind, almost ran all the way back to a high-end residential area in the center of Z city. He raised the mechanical watch on his hand to check the time and found that it was half an hour later than last time. A trace of annoyance appeared on his face.
But no matter how upset he was, the fact could not be changed. In order to collect those medicines today, he went to another direction of City Z, and then delivered them to that stronghold. The round trip was not that fast even with his speed as a psychic.
Lin Jiawen suppressed all the emotions in his heart, stretched out his hand and tore off the pure black windbreaker on his body, and threw it into a corner. Lin Jiawen took off the black windbreaker and wore a white shirt underneath. Without the solemn black, his temperament was almost visibly softer. Although the eyes of the psychic were extremely oppressive, his appearance in a refreshing white shirt at this time greatly neutralized that pressure, and he looked more gentle and harmless.
That’s right, the Lin Jiawen who has always been in front of Bai Yichen, wearing a white shirt and looking quiet and harmless, is the Lin Jiawen who only appears in front of him.
During the past five years, Bai Yichen had stayed in that isolated house and had hardly ever gone out, but Lin Jiawen had never stopped contacting the outside world. As the end of the world progressed, Lin Jiawen understood the cruelty of this world much better than Bai Yichen.
Similarly, the experience that Lin Jiawen gained in the past five years was far more than what he showed in front of Bai Yichen.
However, Lin Jiawen obviously did not want Bai Yichen to know this. He just wanted his beloved boy to live a carefree life under his wings, and not feel distant from him because of external influences or his increasingly oppressive appearance as his superpowers became stronger.
Of course, the boy he once was can no longer be called a boy. Thinking of his sweetheart who has now grown from a boy into a young man, Lin Jiawen can't help but his heartbeat quickens. In fact, if it weren't for the super control of every part of his body by the psychic, he would have blushed countless times in front of the handsome and charming young man over the years.
Lin Jiawen felt that he was lucky. He even couldn't help but feel grateful for this apocalypse. Although this apocalypse was so cruel and made countless people homeless and miserable, it was a new beginning for him. If it weren't for this apocalypse, he wouldn't have met his beloved. Moreover, in a peaceful society, even if the two met, he, an ordinary person, would never have any intersection with him.
But now, because of this end of the world, and because of his special powers, he can take his beloved one under his wings, make him his only one, make him have to look at himself, and the person he likes can only depend on him.
For Lin Jiawen, these five years of life were as beautiful as a dream.
But now, the last survivor base in City Z is about to leave.
Thinking back to reality, Lin Jiawen looked at the food he had just exchanged and couldn't help but frowned.
The author has something to say: I still have half a chapter on hand, so the next update should be soon, I will try to post it tomorrow.
Also, tomorrow is Double Eleven, I wish you all a happy shopping, and by the way, I'd like to share some of my experience with you. You might as well go to JD.com to buy things. Normally speaking, 80% of the things I want to buy are cheaper on JD.com than on Taobao (and much cheaper), and the rest are not available on JD.com.
However, JD.com's rules are very complicated, several times more complicated than Taobao's. Its coupons and discounts or discounts can be stacked. For example, if you buy an item worth 200 yuan, you can enjoy a 20% discount, which makes the item worth 160 yuan. The 160 yuan can be subtracted with a 30 yuan coupon, making the item worth 130 yuan.
Then, the key point is that you can collect the coupons yourself below the price, and you can also choose the discount yourself. There are often several options. If you don’t choose, you won’t get it. It’s really a rip-off, so you have to figure it out yourself. I was ripped off a few times before I became proficient in using it. But after I became proficient, it really is a secret to saving money~
