It was 3 o’clock in the morning when his temperature finally lowered and his breathing became stronger.
Fearing that the group would think that she had taken advantage of the man, Bai Yingxia quickly tidied up his clothes and returned to her corner. She was so tired that the moment she closed her eyes, she drifted to sleep.
At 10 o’clock in the morning, a group of people arrived at the pharmacy store in several cars. The sound of the cars’ engines alarmed the surrounding zombies.
As the zombies rushed over, they let out loud growls, which startled Bai Yingxia awake. She looked around dazedly as she gripped her longsword.
It took her a few moments to regain her senses and look at the situation outside through the glass door.
She didn’t know when another group of people had arrived. But at this moment, that group of people was fighting against the zombies.
They used various weapons to hit the zombies. Although their attacks broke the zombies’ bones, since they didn’t destroy the brains, the zombies were still able to move.
Feeling curious, she walked over and saw that two of the people outside were using abilities to attack the zombies.
Seeing this, Bai Yingxia was shocked.
It was only the 2nd day after the zombies awakened, and she had already met two ability-users. It seemed that the chance of people awakening abilities was higher than she had expected!
One of the ability-users raised his hand, and a fireball the size of an orange appeared from his palm. The fireball flew toward the zombie at a fast speed and exploded upon contact.
Boom!
Although the size of the fireball was small, its destructive power was more than enough to blast the zombie’s head apart. With its head destroyed, the zombie finally fell to the ground with a thud.
Seeing this, the man shouted, "Attack their heads!"
Following his words, his teammates changed their battle strategy and targeted the zombies’ heads. Although they could kill the zombies now, they had been fighting for more than half an hour, and they were starting to feel tired.
Noticing that they would be at a disadvantage if they didn’t finish the battle soon, another ability-user raised his hand, and soon after, several wooden stakes flew toward the zombies.
This time, the zombies’ heads turned into skewers. The wooden stakes pierced their rotten heads and killed them.
The group of people inside the pharmacy watched the group outside kill the zombies with admiration and excitement, clear in their eyes.
40 minutes later, the battle finally came to an end.
Seeing this, the woman called Anling quickly unlocked the glass door and rushed to the man with the wood-type ability. "Brother!"
The man reached out to hug her. After a moment, he checked on her from head to toe before he said, "Anling, it’s good that you are alright. Mom and Dad are worried about you."
While they were introducing their friends to each other outside, Bai Yingxia glanced at the unconscious man. He still had not woken up.
When she was lost in her thoughts, the newly arrived group entered the pharmacy, and the man with the fire-type ability started ordering his people to collect the medicines.
As he walked past her, the man stopped in his tracks and turned to the woman called Anling, "Is she also with you?"
Hearing this, the woman quickly shook her head and replied, "Brother Pei, we don’t know her. Yesterday, she said that she needed a place to stay. Seeing that she was alone and it was dangerous outside, we shared this place with her."
The man nodded and pointed at the unconscious Senior Si. "What about him?"
This time, the group fell silent for a while before one of them said, "We don’t know him either."
The man called Brother Pei noticed their strange behavior, but he didn’t say anything.
Hearing this, Bai Yingxia walked over to Senior Si and sat beside him. She watched the group take away everything without saying a word. When they were done, they climbed into the cars one after another.
Before they left, the woman called Wen Yang gave Senior Si another glance. She hesitated for a moment, but she still chose to abandon him in the end.
After they left, Bai Yingxia finally locked the door and squatted in front of Senior Si.
Using the digital thermometer she had used last night, she checked his temperature. After a beep, she checked the display and let out a sigh.
"37.8°C. It’s good that your temperature didn’t go up again."
Now that there was no one here except them, she touched his hand and brought him into her space.
Appearing inside the space, she used her mind to place the man on the bed in the 2nd bedroom. The man’s clothes were dirty, so she undressed him, leaving only his underwear.
Bai Yingxia stared at his perfectly sculpted body and suddenly felt her mouth go dry. Patting her cheeks, she scolded herself in a low voice, "Bai Yingxia, you are a civilized person! Stop drooling over his body!"
She closed her eyes and took several deep breaths before she calmed down. First things first, she had to clean his body and change his clothes.
This task was harder than she thought because this man was very heavy despite his lean figure. When she finally put the T-shirt on him, she was drenched in sweat.
After resting for a while, she used her mind to retrieve a bowl of fish porridge from the warehouse. The porridge was still steaming hot, so she placed it on the bedside table to cool down while she fed him a glass of boiled spring water.
When the porridge cooled down a little, she used her body to prop him up and brought the spoon to his lips.
This time, he no longer pressed his lips tightly like yesterday. The moment the spoon touched his lips, he opened his mouth unconsciously.
