Zhou Ji recalled with a slightly painful look, "We have two delivery trucks in our store. Brother Wanfeng, you drove away one of them. We could only move most of the rice, flour, oil and other supplies in the store to the remaining truck."

"The store has enough inventory, and one truck can't even hold it all. Because we don't know how long this disaster will last, in order to preserve as much supplies as possible, we decided to act separately."

"Uncle Niu usually drives to the store to work. On the day when the zombies broke out, his car happened to be parked in the yard of our store because there was no parking space outside. Uncle Jiang's car was also parked in the yard, so the seven of us drove three cars and headed to the countryside with supplies..."

"To be on the safe side, we decided that there must be a man in each car, so Uncle and Auntie took Auntie Zhang, Uncle Niu took Auntie Song, and I... I can't drive, so Auntie Liu took me."

"Most of the journey went smoothly...until that night. For some reason, there were suddenly more zombies outside and we were caught in a zombie tide. Aunt Liu could only drive around in panic to avoid them, and we got separated from the others."

Zhou Ji shrank back, but did not interrupt his words.

"We drove for a long time afterwards, not daring to stop. That stretch of road was desolate, with no street lights, and it was pitch black and we couldn't tell the direction... After a loud explosion, the car flipped over, and I passed out. When I woke up, I was in this 'Black Skull Base'..."

"I saw people all around me and thought I was saved. But I was tied up as soon as I woke up... I was still confused at the time and only heard what they said... I had been in a coma for four days and was almost sent to a butcher shop..."

He swallowed, obviously a little scared. "I was sent to a place and sold like an animal with a sign. Two days later, no one bought me. Those people said they wanted to kill me. I was very scared. I thought I would never see you again..."

In fact, Zhou Ji was afraid that he would never have the chance to repay the kindness of Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang. But he knew Jiang Wanfeng's character to some extent, and it would be embarrassing to say such words at this time.

So Zhou Ji skipped this part and continued, "I was so scared that I developed a high fever. That night, I was in a daze and awakened my special ability, 'Food'."

"After listening to those people chatting for the past two days, I roughly understood what awakening superpowers meant. I also found that people with awakened superpowers would be sold at a higher price... So on the third day when they were planning to kill me, I told them about my superpowers."

"You probably saw what happened later... I was bought by that boss and taken to his shop..."

"Okay, got it." Jiang Wanfeng was afraid that Jiang Wanmian might hear something too dark, so he interrupted and said, "You should take a rest."

"Yeah." Jiang Wanmian obviously had no intention of getting to the bottom of the matter, and only agreed and added: "It's very safe here. My brother and I are now members of this base. You can recover here, and find a job when you are well. After joining this base, you won't have to worry about your life anymore."

"Ah... OK..." Zhou Ji was a little dazed, nodded and agreed, then asked: "Then uncle and aunt... you...?"

He wanted to ask his uncle and aunt if they were safe, after all, the apocalypse had always left him with an impression of being too dark and dangerous. But then he realized that if Brother Wanfeng knew about his parents' current situation, he wouldn't have come to ask him in such a hurry.

The words on his lips suddenly changed direction, and he could only ask: "Do we still have a chance to find uncle and aunt?"

Jiang Wanfeng did not answer.

He frowned and thought for a moment, but couldn't give a definite answer, so he simply turned around and left with Jiang Wanmian.

He had arranged his parents' trip to the countryside by mobile phone when he was still in the Du Group, and he knew that his parents would most likely be safe on the journey and would arrive at their destination safely.

He knew how much food was stored in the restaurant at home. The staple food alone was enough for several people to eat for two or three years.

When he first joined Qin Miao's team, he knew that he was not trusted yet and Qin Miao might not let him go easily, so he was not in a hurry to find his parents. Instead, he settled down in a residential building with Jiang Wanmian.

But now... he has obviously been trusted, the Du Group has been destroyed, and with his abilities, even if he goes to the countryside alone, the danger is not too high.

He has already found the direction he wants to pursue, and it is impossible for him to leave "Creation", but what if he brings his parents into "Creation"?

Qin Miao will surely not refuse.

But...unexpected situations have occurred one after another recently, and Jiang Wanfeng, who already has some communication barriers, has not figured out how to mention this to Qin Miao.

He returned to the cafeteria thoughtfully. Qin Miao and others had already finished their meal and seemed to be waiting for him.

The one who had been following Jiang Wanfeng all the time nodded towards Qin Miao, indicating that everything Zhou Ji had just said was true, without any concealment or lies, and his goodwill value was also within the normal range.

"Jiang Wanfeng."

Qin Miao took the hot towel handed over by Zheng Tingting, wiped her hands and said, "Go to the countryside to pick up your parents and come to the base."

It wasn't a questioning tone, but a natural statement of 'it should be this way'.

Jiang Wanfeng looked up suddenly, and his surprised gaze met Qin Miao's clear almond eyes.

Those eyes were still as bright and glittering as black gemstones, emitting a certain irresistible power; at the same time, they were still quiet and deep, making it difficult to see through and very easy to indulge in them without realizing it.

These two contradictory feelings appear at the same time, but they do not give people any sense of disobedience. On the contrary, it seems that there is some great power supporting it in a higher dimension that is invisible and intangible, making the owner of these eyes unconditionally convinced no matter what decision he makes.

Jiang Wanfeng was stunned for a moment, and finally bent his lips into an imperceptible arc, nodded and said, "Okay."

As if she was used to Jiang Wanfeng's slow response, Qin Miao didn't care about his stunned expression at all and continued, "I will bring a few people with you."

"it is good."

This time he answered quickly and there were no surprises.

"Yeah, Sister Miaomiao is the best!" Jiang Wanmian cheered, trotted over to Qin Miao, shook her arm and said coquettishly: "Take me with you~ Please~"

Looking at Jiang Wanmian, who was obviously much more cheerful than when they first met, Qin Miao smiled and rubbed her head without refusing.
