Chapter 314 Dodder in the Apocalypse 23
Yun Qing felt comforted. She sniffed and looked at Feng Yan, "Then dinner..."
"I'll do it right now!"
After a hearty meal, Yun Qing had completely forgotten her previous depression and happily played fetch with Da Huang.
She tossed the ball to Big Yellow, who then used his special ability to throw it back.
They claimed it was to help Dahuang train his superpowers, but in reality, they just wanted to play around with it themselves.
Feng Yan tried his best to find a place to rest at night, where he could shelter from the wind and rain. They were in another village now.
This village wasn't as badly affected as Da Huang's village. Although some people had turned into zombies, and there were also zombie animals and mutated plants, there were still survivors hiding in their homes, surviving on stored food.
When they entered the village, Qi Renyang and Zhou Yue had already dealt with the zombies.
Feng Yan is now preparing to thoroughly clean up the area before it gets completely dark, and also to collect any supplies he can take with him.
They can continue their journey tomorrow morning without wasting any more time.
Although their journey was relatively smooth, their actual travel speed was not fast.
In order to gather enough supplies and cultivation resources, they sometimes stay in one place for several days.
For example, when they went to the shopping mall, they cleared out zombies floor by floor, collecting supplies and zombie cores, which took quite a lot of time.
Because the zombie crystals have to be dug out one by one.
Don't be fooled by the fact that they only had three ability users; they actually consumed quite a lot of zombie crystal cores.
Especially Feng Yan, who is a three-element ability user and develops all three elements simultaneously, coming up with all sorts of tricks, must consume a lot of energy, right?
Although zombies are constantly evolving, high-level zombies are still relatively rare. Most are still low-level zombies with generally low-quality crystal cores, so they can only increase their numbers.
They don't have many zombie crystals left, and Qi Renyang and Zhou Yue's abilities are about to upgrade, so they might have to spend time finding a place with a high concentration of zombies to collect them again.
Therefore, Feng Yan did not intend to spend too much time in this village.
He greeted Yun Qing, asked Zhou Yue and Da Huang to stay, and then went out with Qi Renyang.
Walking along the village path, Qi Renyang couldn't help but say, "Feng Yan, aren't you being a little too petty?"
"Zhou Yue and I were just asking your sister-in-law about our superpowers. We apologize for disturbing your time together, but you don't need to be so angry. Look, you scared your sister-in-law to tears."
This is the conclusion Qi Renyang reached after careful consideration.
He felt that given how much Feng Yan indulged Yun Qing, he wouldn't get so angry just because she was lazy and didn't want to exercise.
It must be because he and Zhou Yue disturbed his and Yun Qing's time together.
Feng Yan: ...
Who said I'm angry?
I was clearly heartbroken!
Qi Renyang glanced at him, his face saying, "Do you think I believe you?"
Feng Yan paused for a moment, then sighed, "You don't understand."
Qi Renyang: ? ? ?
Why are you trying to be so profound!
"Then tell me and I'll understand, won't I?"
Feng Yan lowered his eyes, somewhat disappointed, and said, "Qingqing doesn't really like me."
In the past, Feng Yan definitely wouldn't have said it.
At that time, Qi Renyang and Zhou Yue were his friends, and had nothing to do with Yun Qing. In fact, they even had some opinions about her.
If he said that Yun Qing didn't truly like him and was just using him, Qi Renyang and Zhou Yue would definitely be very dissatisfied with Yun Qing, even hostile.
But things are different now. Qi Renyang and Zhou Yue are almost ready to become his disciples on the spot. Even if they know that Yun Qing doesn't really like him, they won't react so strongly.
As a result, Qi Renyang reacted quite violently, his voice suddenly rising, attracting all the zombies that hadn't been cleared out before.
"What did you say?!"
Qi Renyang casually cleared away the approaching zombies, then glared at Feng Yan angrily and said, "How could you doubt your sister-in-law's feelings for you?"
"Feng Yan, I never expected you to be such a scumbag!"
"Your sister-in-law is so good to you! Even Zhou Yue and I can see how much she likes you, but you..."
"Tell me honestly, do you have other ideas? Do you think your sister-in-law doesn't have superpowers and isn't good enough for you? Do you want to find someone with superpowers?"
Feng Yan: ...? ? ? !!!
Does Qingqing really like him...?
Feng Yan was skeptical.
Seeing that he remained silent, Qi Renyang said with a pained expression, "Feng Yan, we can't be so heartless!"
"Your sister-in-law has been through thick and thin with you... well... although she hasn't suffered much, it's true that she's been with you for so long, right?"
"Now that you've become successful, you actually want to abandon your wife... You start something and then abandon it. Do you think that's right?"
"Even if we're brothers, I still have to say, you..."
He was halfway through his excited speech when Feng Yan suddenly interrupted him, asking somewhat uncertainly, "Do you really think Qingqing likes me?"
Qi Renyang: ...
He looked at Feng Yan and realized that he didn't seem like someone who would start a relationship and then abandon it; rather, he seemed afraid of being abandoned.
Qi Renyang was filled with questions. "You don't actually think your sister-in-law's feelings for you are fake, do you?"
Feng Yan frowned and said, "When she first said she liked me, it was just to make me take responsibility for her, protect her, and take care of her."
"When I first awakened my superpowers, she thought I was going to die. She wasn't sad for me at all; she was only worried that she would be eaten by monsters. When she saw the lightning on my body, she immediately retreated far away, afraid of getting hurt. She didn't care at all whether I lived or died."
"Don't be fooled by how she always clings to me and says such sweet things; she's just trying to appease me."
"When Xu Yang said she didn't love me and was just using me, didn't she not refute it?"
Now it was Qi Renyang's turn to be skeptical.
Help! Is dating really this complicated?
He felt that his sister-in-law liked Feng Yan, but based on his understanding of Feng Yan, he also felt that someone as smart as him should be able to tell whether his sister-in-law truly liked him or was just pretending.
He still doesn't realize that when he and Zhou Yue mentioned back in school who had a crush on Feng Yan, Feng Yan told them not to talk nonsense. It wasn't out of respect for girls, as they thought, but because Feng Yan genuinely thought they were talking nonsense.
They only thought Feng Yan was indifferent to worldly desires, but they didn't know that he was oblivious to emotions and lacked common sense.
Based on what Feng Yan just said, Qi Renyang also felt that his sister-in-law didn't seem to particularly like him.
He hesitated and asked, "Is it possible that your sister-in-law was only pretending to like you before, but now she really does?"
Hearing this, he felt he had touched on the truth, and said firmly, "Believe me, your sister-in-law really likes you now."
Feng Yan: No, I don't believe it.
"We've known each other for a long time, and I've taken care of her for so long, but she never said she liked me. Then the apocalypse came, and she suddenly said she liked me. You think about it!"
"You didn't like me when the apocalypse started, so what reason do you have to suddenly like me now?"
"If it's about feelings developing over time, then we wouldn't have had to wait until now. And if it's because of the care I've given her, then we wouldn't have had to wait until now either."
"She was just being hypocritical, trying to make me happy."
Qi Renyang was completely confused. So... it seems to make sense.
