Chapter 44 Give Me a Bite (1)
As they said this, the three of them stared even more intently at Mo Ci who was there, and then noticed that all the zombies they had attracted went to Mo Ci.
Then, without exception, all of them were chopped down by Mo Ci's sword. The crisp and decisive movements made the three of them excited. If they didn't know their own abilities, they would really want to go up and give it a try.
When the last zombie died at Mo Ci's hands, they saw Mo Ci turn around and go back to the villa without any hesitation.
Here, Mo Ci began to clean the dirt on the zombie crystal cores, and then put all the crystal cores into his own space.
The three people on the other side looked at the zombie corpses all over the ground and were silent for a long time. Then they formed a circle around each other, looking at each other. After a while, one of them spoke.
"Qiu Rui, isn't this your home? Do you know the owner of that villa?"
Now the three of them still thought that Mo Ci was the owner of the villa. Of course, this was also because where they were now was Qiu Rui's villa.
At the beginning of the apocalypse, telephone communications were still usable. Except for Qiu Rui, everyone else in his family was abroad. He had no choice but to find a place to settle down.
However, he was studying in another city and needed to live there, so naturally he had no place to stay. The three of them later discussed and decided to come here.
Along the way, the three of them were lucky and finally arrived here after taking a lot of detours.
When Qiu Rui heard this, he really thought about it. Unfortunately, he couldn't come up with anything. After all, he rarely lived here, so Qiu Rui shook his head honestly.
"do not know."
"Well, I was thinking that if you knew someone, we could recruit them. In this fucking apocalypse, having more people would give us a little more security."
The person who asked the question also felt lost, and at this moment, the one who had been silent among the three suddenly spoke.
"If you don't know him, can't you invite him?"
This sentence was like a revelation. Qiu Rui and the other man's eyes lit up. They looked at each other and said in unison, "Yes!"
They acted immediately. The three of them found some things in the villa that they could hold as weapons, and then carefully pushed open the door and walked out, for fear that any fish would slip through the net.
Soon, the three of them arrived in front of the villa where Mo Ci was. The piles of zombie corpses made the three of them a little scared, and they hurriedly walked along the wall.
When they stood at the door, the three of them became a little timid again. When they finally mustered up the courage to knock on the door, they saw the door being opened from the outside to the inside. The slightly wretched appearance of the three people was also reflected in Mo Ci's eyes.
The four of them looked at each other and the atmosphere became awkward.
For a long while, Qiu Rui looked at Mo Ci with a frown, and suddenly, he shouted.
"You...you are Song Tianlin, Senior Song?!"
Mo Ci: “?” I don’t know him.
Just as Mo Ci was about to look away, he heard Song Tianlin's voice, "Huh? Wait, this is someone I know. His name is Qiu Rui, and he's my direct junior."
"Qiu Rui?" Mo Ci repeated the name in a low voice. Qiu Rui also heard Mo Ci's voice with his sharp ears and felt a little excited for a moment.
"Yes, yes, Senior Song, I'm Qiu Rui. We used to chat online often."
Song Tianlin: "Well, he's right. I don't like dealing with people face to face, so I prefer surfing the Internet. From Qiu Rui's perspective, I'm probably the role of a close senior."
A close friend? What is that?
Mo Ci looked at Qiu Rui in silence, listening to Song Tianlin explaining to him the relationship between himself and Qiu Rui. In the end, he just nodded coldly and turned his gaze to the other two people. Without Qiu Rui introducing them, Song Tianlin started talking on his own.
"I know these two too. Qiu Rui once sent me a photo of himself and his roommates. The one with the round face is Fu Wen, and the other one wearing glasses is Guo Shuliang."
As soon as Song Tianlin finished speaking, Qiu Rui's voice rang out. He pointed at the two people and introduced them with a smile.
"Senior Song, this is the roommate I told you about. His name is Guo Shuliang, and his is Fu Wen. I didn't expect to see Senior Song here. It really is fate."
In a place where no one else could hear, Song Tianlin's voice rang in Mo Ci's ears.
"Yeah, it's fate. I never lived to this point in my life before."
Mo Ci: “…”
Mo Ci listened to Qiu Rui's words and Song Tianlin's words at the same time. For a moment, he didn't know what expression to make, and in the end he could only keep a stern face.
"Well, hello."
Song Tianlin: "... Um, could you be more lively? It's easy for people to suspect you've changed your mind, okay?"
Be more active? Not necessarily.
Mo Ci thought about it and looked at the three of them. Seeing Qiu Rui's face showing a look of wanting to say something but hesitating, he asked bluntly, "What do you want to do by coming to see me?"
"Senior Song, the thing is, we just saw you being so brave killing zombies, and I was thinking, should we team up?"
Qiu Rui said, and also pulled Fu Wen beside him, "He is a water-type ability user. Although he is still a little immature now, he still has the opportunity to grow."
"As for me, I'm a fire-type psychic, and I'm also... a little weak. But don't worry, Senior Song. I will definitely work hard to enhance my abilities."
"And then there's Guo Shuliang. He has psychic abilities. So far, um... he's gotten smarter..."
As he spoke, Qiu Rui's voice became much lower. It seemed that the three of them all had special abilities, which sounded powerful, but in fact... they were very weak.
Mo Ci listened to Qiu Rui's words and looked at the three people with surprise. Song Tianlin said that there are very few people who awaken superpowers. Unexpectedly, these three people all have superpowers.
He had seen fire-related abilities before, and they were indeed very weak, not even as powerful as the fire of a gas stove.
However, Mo Ci knew very well that this was only temporary. Once he grew up, he would definitely be a dominant figure.
While Mo Ci was thinking, Song Tianlin's voice sounded without any order.
"Holy crap! Three people in one dorm have superpowers? Do you think we can survive? I'm so jealous I'm completely paralyzed."
"Damn it, damn it, everyone can have superpowers, why don't I have them? Is it because I'm a homebody?"
"God, you're not fair!"
There was a hint of annoyance in Mo Ci's lowered eyes. Song Tianlin talked too much and he felt a little disgusted.
He selectively ignored Song Tianlin's voice and said, "I'm going to leave here, what about you?"
"Ah? Senior Song, I don't see any other zombies here, why don't you stay?"
Qiu Rui didn't expect to get such an answer. They had just arrived here, so were they going to leave?
Actually, if you think about it carefully, there doesn’t seem to be anything good here. Besides, the senior is so capable, and being able to stay together will give your life an extra layer of security.
Just as he was struggling, Mo Ci said something that hit the nail on the head, "There's no food here. Are you going to starve to death if you stay here?"
Qiu Rui: "...Can we go with Senior Song? We have a car."
Car? Mo Ci thought about what he had just seen. That thing called a car was indeed quite fast. Mo Ci had never ridden one before, but compared to this...
"Can you guys cook?"
"what?"
The eyes of the three of them were blurred for a moment, but Guo Shuliang, who possessed psychic abilities, adjusted his glasses and nodded firmly.
"I can!"
Mo Ci looked at Guo Shuliang and nodded slightly. Then, the other two followed Mo Ci and Guo Shuliang into the kitchen as if they were surprised by the situation. They just watched Guo Shuliang roll up his sleeves to cook.
Seeing that Guo Shuliang was in good spirits, Mo Ci turned around and left. He didn't say much, but the three of them felt that this was a test of whether they could stay.
So, Guo Shuliang was cooking, and the other two were helping him and also serving as food tasters.
The three of them were busy in the kitchen, and Mo Ci walked aside to answer Song Tianlin's words. Since he was worried that he would be exposed for changing the core, Mo Ci's answer was.
"This is the end of the world. After experiencing a brutal life-and-death struggle, it's normal for one's personality to change. No one will suspect me of that."
After hearing Mo Ci's answer, Song Tianlin actually thought that this excuse was very good. After all, even he himself would not doubt that a person who has undergone a major change and whose personality has changed has changed his core before experiencing these things.
"Okay, you're right. By the way, why did you ask them to cook? Isn't your cooking delicious?"
Mo Ci was silent for a long time before he said, "They want to partner with me, but they need an opportunity. Otherwise, why would I keep them?"
Song Tianlin suddenly realized, "Oh~ You are giving them a chance, amazing... Huh? That's not right. With Qiu Rui and I'm close, why would I need to do that to bring them along?"
Song Tianlin was not stupid and reacted quickly, but Mo Ci had no intention of answering his questions this time, so he just said.
"You'd better not talk to me when other people are around. I'm afraid if I get distracted, I'll die, and you'll die too."
"Got it. Don't worry, I won't hurt you by mistake."
When Song Tianlin heard that he might die, he immediately made a promise. Little did he know that his verbal attack had no effect on Mo Ci at all. Mo Ci just thought he was noisy and tried to restrain him from talking.
The two talked for a while, and the three people finally prepared three dishes and a soup.
Qiu Rui walked over and saw Mo Ci sitting there, and called out, "Senior Song, the meal is ready, come and eat."
"Yeah," Mo Ci responded and walked towards the dining table. He first took a look at the food on the table. Well, it looked very appetizing.
The aroma of the food also made people hungry. Mo Ci swallowed calmly, sat down with a serious face, and picked up the food and put it into his mouth under the gaze of the three people.
Under the nervous expressions of the three people, he nodded slightly and said, "It tastes good. Sit down and eat together."
Mo Ci gave the order and the three of them sat down immediately. They were a little restrained at first and didn't dare to eat too much. Only after Mo Ci put down his chopsticks did the three of them start eating.
As the saying goes, the little brat will eat his father out of poverty, and this is the most true portrayal now.
Of course, this was also because it was the first time in a long time that the three of them had eaten nutritious and healthy meals. Before, they had been living on dry food such as bread.
Soon, several plates were eaten clean, and Fu Wen volunteered to wash the dishes. Although Guo Shuliang tried to make more, he did not dare to be presumptuous considering that these were Mo Ci's food.
Therefore, the three of them were not full, but they were still very satisfied.
After Fu Wen finished washing the dishes, Mo Ci waved to the three of them. They immediately came over and sat down opposite Mo Ci. Each one looked more obedient than the other, but Song Tianlin turned into a complaining machine again.
"It's so shameless, so shameless. Why is Qiu Rui pretending to be a good kid? Don't I know what kind of person he is?"
"And those two guys who were crazy enough to get into fights with people when they were hanging out at the bar are now acting really disgusting."
"Mo Ci, don't be fooled by them. None of these three deserves the word 'good'..."
Mo Ci thought that with Song Tianlin's personality, it was a miracle that he could survive to the end of the world, and he said this to the three people.
"There's not much food here. If you want to go with me, you can leave with me tomorrow... tomorrow at this time."
"Great, Senior Song, we'll go with you."
Qiu Rui responded immediately, and the other two had no objection. They had originally wanted to recruit Mo Ci to join their group, and they had been worried that the people living here might have bad tempers.
Now, Qiu Rui knows the other party and they should have a good relationship. In this way, his character is guaranteed and he is so powerful. They would be stupid to choose to stay here.
Afterwards, perhaps in order to get closer, or to relive the peace of the past, Qiu Rui began to talk to Mo Ci about their shared memories.
Mo Ci knew nothing about this matter. It was all thanks to Song Tianlin's nonsense that Mo Ci followed suit and said what he said. After a few times, Mo Ci's attitude seemed to soften a lot.
So Qiu Rui became more and more demanding and wanted to stay with Mo Ci, saying that they were all in the same boat and it would be more convenient to live together. Mo Ci thought about the many rooms here and nodded in agreement.
In the evening, Mo Ci was practicing in the room, while Qiu Rui and the others gathered in a room and talked about some things about Song Tianlin.
After reassuring the other two, Qiu Rui returned to his private room and lay on the bed thinking that Senior Song seemed to have changed a lot.
However, just as Mo Ci had expected, he did not suspect that Mo Ci had changed the core.
Instead, I thought that in this apocalyptic world, no one would remain unchanged, and the change in the senior was understandable, except that his speech was a little strange.
Of course, there are also big changes in body shape. After all, although Song Tianlin was healthy before, he was very thin.
He was as thin as a boiled chicken, but now, just looking at his figure, who wouldn’t say it’s amazing?
This night was the quietest night for the other three people. They didn't need to leave anyone behind to keep watch, and they didn't need to listen to the faint roars coming from not far away.
This was the most sound sleep they had ever had since the end of the world. They didn’t know whether to say that they were carefree or that Mo Ci gave them too much sense of security.
The next morning, the three of them gathered in the kitchen early, with Guo Shuliang in charge and Fu Wen and Qiu Rui assisting, and started to make breakfast.
