Chapter 744: Monster
Leng Yebai’s fingers paused slightly on the zipper, contemplated for a second, then decided not to take it off.
The feeling of wearing couple outfits with Xiao Niu was quite nice, even if it was sickening to others, he would still wear them!
"Yes, it’s a couple’s outfit!"
Leng Yebai nodded with a straight face, thinking about washing the down jacket Xiao Niu had worn for several days once they got back.
He wanted to wear couple outfits with Xiao Niu!
Song Ning heard Leng Yebai’s answer and nodded to himself.
Hmm, he guessed right.
The circle is really a mess!
The car set off in the direction of the safe base, just facing the sun.
At noon, the sunlight was still quite bright.
"Today’s sunshine is rather warm!"
Song Ning opened the sun visor to block the dazzling sunlight.
"Indeed, it’s quite warm."
Bai Xiqin also felt it.
She rolled down the window, stretched her hand outside, and could directly feel the warmth of the sun on her hand.
There’s even a slight burning sensation.
Suddenly, Bai Xiqin remembered that it was only July now.
A snowstorm in July made it feel like winter.
In fact, it was still summer.
In her previous life, Bai Xiqin had never been to Shanghai, only knowing that S City’s weather had only winter and summer, without seasonal reversals.
Could it be that Shanghai’s weather is even more unpredictable?
"The snow is melting."
Leng Yebai looked towards the trees by the roadside, feeling that the snow on the branches had decreased significantly.
Water droplets were dripping down, one after another, visible to the naked eye.
"Drive faster, let’s get back to the base quickly."
Bai Xiqin felt the car shaking more and more and hurriedly said.
On the way back, there wasn’t only a cement road, but also dirt roads.
When the ice and snow hadn’t melted, it was possible to make ice to walk on, but once it melted, it wouldn’t be easy to return.
Bai Xiqin could make ice, but extreme weather could possibly cause those mutant animals and zombies to act up.
It’s too dangerous.
"Okay!"
Song Ning stepped on the accelerator, speeding towards the safe base.
The car sped up, and the ice and snow melted quickly.
The snow on both sides of the road diminished at a visible rate.
All around, there was the sound of flowing water, made up of small streams from the melting ice and snow.
The sun in the sky was becoming more and more blinding. Song Ning pulled out his sunglasses to wear, but still, he could only squint while driving.
"Roar――"
The roar of a zombie came from ahead.
Bang!
The zombie warmly embraced the car, then was knocked flying for over ten meters.
Its arm twisted oddly, its leg broke, but it still lunged towards the car.
"The zombies have crawled out from the snow, and the climate has returned to normal summer."
Song Ning ignored the zombies chasing behind and continued driving.
The sound of the car crashing into zombies was endless, black blood covering the windshield.
Occasionally, the car would drive under some dense trees, where the snowmelt water dripped down, washing away the black blood.
Half an hour later.
As far as the eye could see, everything was drenched.
The pure white snow had already melted into water, washing the ground.
The trees on both sides of the road were surprisingly lush green.
The snow had once weighed down their branches but didn’t freeze them into bare twigs in time.
Every living creature on Earth had quietly undergone the baptism of mysterious energy.
Those who couldn’t withstand the baptism had completely perished, while those who survived would continue to thrive on Earth.
After all the snow melted, the surrounding temperatures began to rise rapidly.
Bai Xiqin took off her down jacket, yet sweat still beaded on her forehead.
"Are you hot? If you are, take it off."
Bai Xiqin casually unzipped Leng Yebai’s down jacket.
Leng Yebai nodded, raised his arms, allowing Bai Xiqin to unzip him.
A faint smile hung on Leng Yebai’s face, leaning half against the chair, looking quite satisfied.
Bai Xiqin immediately noticed Leng Yebai grinning happily.
This couldn’t be tolerated.
She was serving someone?
Bai Xiqin decisively zipped Leng Yebai’s jacket back up and covered him with her own down jacket.
Leng Yebai blinked, silently took off the jackets, and scooted closer to Bai Xiqin with both down jackets in his arms.
Alas, not an enjoyable life.
If she doesn’t serve, then she doesn’t!
He’ll serve!
Song Ning naturally noticed their little actions, his cheek twitched as he silently glanced at the passenger seat.
Pretending that there sat a gentle, caring, pretty, and cute girlfriend.
Pop!
Song Ning threw the down jacket he just took off onto the passenger seat.
Inside: Hold that jacket properly, lose it, and you’ll get a beating when we return!
Song Ning’s lips lifted wildly.
Almost laughed out loud.
Compared to that, he’s much better off than Leng Yebai, isn’t he!
This guy, although having both a boyfriend and a girlfriend, has the lowest status!
Beaten by the boyfriend, still has to serve the girlfriend, bottom of society!
Leng Yebai had no idea what the single dog Song Ning was daydreaming about.
He only knew that sitting next to Xiao Niu was quite nice, able to smell the sweet fragrance emanating from her.
An hour later.
At the entrance to the safe base.
A long line queued to enter the safe base.
All the superpower users who went out on missions returned to the safe base due to the weather, and everyone crowded to enter the base at the same time.
Entering the base required manual checks, slow progress meant more people were stuck at the entrance.
Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai got out of the car directly, not lining up in the queue of vehicles with Song Ning.
You can’t cut in line with the vehicles!
Getting out of the car, Bai Xiqin could immediately feel the power of the sun overhead.
The heat was sizzling.
A large amount of water vapor rose from the ground, looking up, it was misty.
The water vapor didn’t block the burning of the sun.
Everyone was sweating profusely.
The survivors originally dressed in their thickest gear for winter had to take off their down jackets as the weather suddenly turned hot.
But their pants still had thick thermal trousers inside, and their clothes were still all long-sleeved.
Some men even disregarded their image and queued shirtless.
Leng Yebai held Bai Xiqin and didn’t queue, instead heading directly towards the gate.
Leng Yebai resembled the Base Commander, so the people in line saw him behaving specially, but nobody said anything.
After all, he had a good dad!
Hong Yu saw Bai Xiqin cutting the line and naturally helped her and Leng Yebai with a temperature check, without going through the formalities of asking them to queue.
He wasn’t looking at the Base Commander’s face, but Bai Xiqin’s.
"Sister Tu, hurry back! Xiao Fan just came to the gate looking for you!"
Hong Yu continued to check the temperature of the people behind, speaking to Bai Xiqin.
"Uh, we’ll go back right away!"
Bai Xiqin couldn’t bear the heat any longer, so she used her superpower to make some ice cubes.
Some at Hong Yu’s feet, some in her hands, sharing the coolness with Leng Yebai.
Hong Yu glanced at the ice cubes at his feet, a shy smile on his face.
"Sis, you’re finally back!"
From afar, Bai Yifan’s voice came over.
Bai Yifan, wearing a short-sleeve shirt and holding a parasol, waved happily at Bai Xiqin.
"You’re quick changing clothes."
Bai Xiqin handed Bai Yifan an ice cube, quickening her pace.
She also wanted to change clothes quickly, as her thermal innerwear was soaked with sweat.
"Help! There’s a monster!"
"Quick! Get back to the safe base!"
"Ah!"
A burst of commotion suddenly came from the gate, along with survivor cries for help.
