Chapter 352 The Apocalypse Arrives 5
"Someone's here. Let's go check on them before we go to sleep," Ye Zhiyin said.
"Okay." Hearing someone, Ye Xingzhu also woke up and sat up.
The people outside had just climbed over the fence and reached the gate when they heard the commotion inside, and the three of them stopped in their tracks.
The man with the buzz cut walking at the front, Gu He, spoke up: "There are people inside!"
"Knock on the door!" Lu Yan said from behind.
Meng Fuwen, who was wearing glasses, nodded as well, and Gu He stepped forward and knocked on the door.
After a while, the door opened from the inside, and Ye Xingzhu stood inside: "Come in."
Upon hearing this, the three exchanged a brief glance, and Meng Fuwen asked, "Brother, is this your home?"
Ye Xingzhu shook his head: "No, we're just passing through and will stay here for the night." After saying that, he walked inside.
Ye Xingzhu and his sister had heard what they were saying, so they couldn't just not let them in.
However, we cannot let our guard down; we don't know whether these people are good or bad.
The three of them also noticed that Ye Xingzhu was referring to "us," meaning there was more than just him in the group.
They went inside and saw a pretty girl sitting on the sofa, looking at them with a detached expression.
The two of them didn't look very old; judging from their age and the impression they gave, they seemed like college students. Upon closer inspection, their facial features were somewhat similar, suggesting they might be relatives.
Ye Zhiyin's gaze swept over them; the three of them looked to be a few years older than Ye Xingzhu and herself.
The man with glasses had a refined appearance and a constant smile on his lips, while the other two had little expression.
The man with the buzz cut had a masculine appearance, and as he entered, his eyes began to subtly survey his surroundings, as if it were a habit.
The man standing a little behind the two, who was the one who had been sitting in the back seat of the car, was easily noticed even though he was standing at the back.
Ye Zhiyin hadn't gotten a good look at him in the car before, but now she could see that he was handsome and had an eye-catching aura.
As if sensing her gaze, Lu Yan raised his eyes, and their eyes met. His eyes were deep and sharp, while Ye Zhiyin calmly looked away.
Lu Yan glanced at her again and felt that the calm and composed look in her eyes was unlike that of a college student.
Since she didn't sense any malice from the people, Ye Zhiyin didn't pay much attention to it.
“We’ll probably have to stay here with you two tonight, and we’ll leave after dawn,” Meng Fuwen said when no one spoke.
Ye Xingzhu remembered what his sister had said before: "There is still room upstairs, we will only take up the first floor."
Upon hearing this, Meng Fuwen smiled and said, "Okay, thank you." Since they had been allowed in, he still politely expressed his gratitude.
"No need to thank me, this isn't our place either," Ye Xingzhu said, scratching him. His eyes were bright and clear.
"That's the look and demeanor of a typical college student," Lu Yan thought to himself, withdrawing his gaze.
"Then we'll go up first!" Gu He said.
Ye Xingzhu nodded and didn't say anything more, watching them walk upstairs. Ye Zhiyin was looking at her phone and didn't pay any attention to them.
"Sis, aren't you sleepy?" Ye Xingzhu looked away and asked when he saw his sister still looking at her phone.
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhiyin replied without even looking up, "It's alright, if you're sleepy, just keep sleeping."
"I can't sleep. I'll sleep when I feel sleepy," Ye Xingzhu said after thinking for a moment.
Ye Zhiyin didn't say anything. She was reading a novel and was in the middle of an exciting part, so she decided to continue reading.
The second-floor lobby also had sofas. The three of them came up, closed the door, and found a place to sit down.
Meng Fuwen took off his backpack and took out several bags of toast and several bottles of water: "Let's eat something first!"
“The roads are difficult to travel now. It will take us at least several more days to get to the capital. We’ll be eating this stuff every day,” Gu He said, holding a bag of toast.
Just thinking about having to eat this every day for the next few days, he'll really crave rice.
Lu Yan also picked up a bag at random: "Given the current situation, it's good enough to have something to eat on the road."
Food will only become increasingly scarce in the future. Suddenly, we enter the apocalypse, and the future is uncertain.
“Yeah, this is the apocalypse. We’re lucky we didn’t turn into zombies, and we even have superpowers.” Meng Fuwen still found the superpowers amazing.
I never imagined that the plot of the novel would actually happen in real life.
Gu He sighed: "I was just sighing. I wonder how my family is doing?"
Speaking of this, Meng Fuwen and Lu Yan don't need to worry, since they have no family.
Both of them lost their parents at a young age and grew up together. Before the apocalypse, they started a company together and lived in the same neighborhood. When the apocalypse came, they reunited.
Gu He's family lives in the capital. He is a retired soldier. He came here on business and also to visit a longtime friend. Little did he know that the world had changed so drastically.
“Your family must have received the message from the base as well. You should be able to find them when you go to the base,” Meng Fuwen said.
It's been over a month since the apocalypse began. At first, Gu He's family confirmed that he hadn't turned into a zombie, and that everything would be fine as long as he went to the base.
"Mm," Gu He nodded, feeling slightly relieved.
Suddenly, a sound came from downstairs. Lu Yan stood up, walked to the window, and looked down.
"What's wrong?" The two of them came over.
Lu Yan didn't speak, gesturing for them to see for themselves. There were three or four zombie corpses lying outside the courtyard, and the girl downstairs was hacking at a zombie with a knife.
They didn't go down to help her because she seemed to be handling things with ease and there weren't many zombies around.
Ye Zhiyin's technique was swift and skillful; with just one slash, the zombie's head rolled to the ground. Gu He analyzed, "Her knife skills are very proficient, and her strength is considerable."
"It's only been a month since the apocalypse, and people are already so skilled at killing zombies? Ah Yan, what do you think?" Meng Fuwen asked, somewhat surprised, looking at the silent person beside him.
Lu Yan's gaze remained fixed on Ye Zhiyin. Upon hearing this, he opened his mouth and said, "Her behavior is indeed somewhat different from her image, but that's normal in the apocalypse."
The two thought about it and agreed; it was the end of the world, and they couldn't let their guard down every day.
"She has superpowers but didn't use them? Instead, she chose to do it herself," Meng Fuwen said.
Gu He watched the people below and said, "You can tell from her movements that she's trained. She can easily solve this without any special abilities."
Lu Yan nodded and said, "Yes, relying solely on superpowers isn't enough; one's own abilities also need to keep up."
Superpowered individuals can sense each other subtly, but they cannot know what kind of superpowers others possess.
When they came in and saw Ye Xingzhu and her brother, they knew that the two had special abilities, and conversely, they also knew that the others did as well.
Outside the courtyard, Ye Zhiyin finished off the last zombie with a single slash, and as usual, she stirred the knife around inside its brain. When she saw the crystal core, she used the knife to pick it out, cleaned it, and then picked it up.
After she finished, she simply climbed over the wall, her movements light and agile.
