Tao Yuan’s face was pretty good when he came back. Shen Shian looked at him, “Is it solved?”
“En,” Tao Yuan nodded, his voice determined. “It’s all solved.” He used a reinforced bullet that could even pierce through a tank to instantly burst his head.
Chen Nan and Liu Fangzhou secretly patted their backs and sighed.
Shen Shian started the off-road vehicle again, “Let’s go, it’s getting early.” While Tao Yuan was away, he took a closer look at the map of the nearby areas from the space, and had already determined their route.
The off-road vehicle drove all the way in the twilight. It drove out of Qujiang city before the sky was completely dark, leaving the cigarette factory behind.
The place they chose to stay the night in was next to an abandoned gas station. It took half an hour to clean up the surrounding zombies and set up a simple protective warning line. The group of people cooperated and sat down around the campfire.
Now that the “space” ability had been exposed, it was much more convenient to do many things. After spending a whole week only eating packaged foods in the base, the trio, led by Shen Xun was already greedy with green light in their eyes. With a new member joining the team, Shen Shian was not stingy. A large amount of mutated goose meat and fresh fruits and vegetables were taken out of the space, accompanied by cold beers, the hearty meal was enjoyed.
After eating and cleaning up the mess, they sat around the campfire. Chen Nan and Liu Fangzhou didn’t sleep last night, after drinking a glass of warm milk, they couldn’t bear it. After taking a cold shower, they simply drilled into the same tent. Tao Yuan slept alone, taking into account what he had experienced, Chen Nan agreed to give him a little personal space.
Shen Shian didn’t rush to sleep, he finally had the time to bathe the child again. He took out a bathtub full of warm water, placed Shen Xun in the bathtub and scrubbed him carefully three times from head to toe. At the end, he smelled the child’s red tomato-like face: En, it’s a nice smell.
Carrying the fragrant Shen Xun back in the car, his thought moved, and the two entered the space at the same time.
First, he blow dried the child’s hair. His hair was thin and soft with a milky shampoo scent. With the warm air blowing and Shen Shian’s slender fingers occasionally massaging his head, the dog was so comfortable and grunted.
After confirming that his hair was completely dried, Shen Shian put the hair dryer down and lifted the child’s bangs. “Your hair is a bit too long, does it usually cover your eyes?” The child’s hair grew fast, and his ears had been covered after more than two months without cutting. His hair had a little natural curl and his facial features were delicate. At first glance, he looked like a little girl.
Shen Shian’s heart stirred. He had rubber bands on his hand and his fingers rubbed the dog spirit’s head twice. He then gave him a small grip behind his head.
Red lips, white teeth, and jade-like skin, Shen Shian’s lips were curved with a smile on his face. He couldn’t help but kiss his face, “It will make you pretty and won’t your hair cover your eyes?”
“En.” Shen Xun didn’t care if his hair was going to be tied, as long as Shen Shian liked it, he wouldn’t mind. Not only that he said he looked pretty in the mirror. The more he looked, the more domineering he was. He turned his head and touched Shen Shian’s hair, “An An, your hair has grown too long, I’ll tie your hair too!”
Shen Shian pretended that he heard nothing, and dropped Shen Xun from his lap. “Go and play, I want to take a bath.”
Shen Xun watched him walk step by step on the railing of the bamboo floor and walked towards the spring pool. Until it was confirmed that it was impossible to take a bath with him, the pitiful look on his face disappeared, and he turned around and ran to the strawberry field.
He hadn’t come in for many days, so the bath time was slightly longer. When Shen Shian finally came out of the pool, his skin was warmed by the spring water into a layer of gorgeous light pink. The obsidian-like eyes glowed with a layer of water because of the heat, and the indifference look faded a lot. He looked extra soft.
With wet black hair on his face and drops of water slowly dripping, Shen Shian pushed his hair behind. He thought the child was right, his hair was too long.
He dried himself with a towel, and a light gray bathrobe appeared from the wardrobe. The smooth figure was covered by the fabric, and the lace was tightened and knotted on the side. His waist and thin legs were tall and straight, the youthful vigor and the strength of the adult male were perfectly combined. It was so dazzling that people can’t move their eyes away.
Shen Xun sat on the grass outside the protective barrier and ate strawberries. Hearing the movement, he turned his head and looked at him. He stared at Shen Shian for a long time, and finally after a long while, he finally recovered and jumped up to grab his hand. “An An, where are we going?”
“The second floor of the bamboo building.”
The second floor of the bamboo building was not much different from how it is usually. The only difference was that there was an extra single bed next to the weapon wall, and there was a sleeping man on the bed.
Time back to the night before.
Shen Shian held Shen Xun and shouted at the two people walking by the moat. “I have something to discuss with you.”
Luo Wei stopped, “Mr. Shen, go ahead.”
“This matter may be related to your survival,” Shen Shian looked at Luo Wei’s surprised expression and Tao Yuan’s suddenly lit eyes, but before the two asked, he continued. “But before I say it, my son must take a bite first.”
The dog spirit moved quickly. Even though he repeatedly assured Luo Wei that the zombie virus had no effect on Shen Xun, Shen Shian stared at him and asked him to drink a whole bottle of spiritual spring water after he bit him. Then he cut down on the complicated stuff and explained the second floor of the bamboo building simply, picking what can be said to the obviously anxious Tao Yuan. “…My space ability can receive items and also living things. If I take it in, the object will be stuck at that moment. Captain Luo has been infected with the virus but has not yet completely mutated, so I can keep you in this state until the vaccine for the virus is successful. Then, I will let you out.”
Tao Yuan was so excited that he immediately opened his mouth and wanted to speak. Shen Shian stopped his movement, “Listen to me first. If you are sure you want me to do this, I have three conditions: First, this matter must be strictly known to the four of us, you must not let any fifth person know. Unless you have my consent, you cannot disclose this conversation tonight and information about my ability in any form under any circumstances; second, captain Luo must be in a comatose state in the space, which meant I would need to stun you first, so you will remain comatose in the space; third, this is the only chance I will put captain Luo inside my space. If Tao Yuan asked for him to be released before the vaccine is successfully developed, I will do it, but once I let him out, I won’t put him in again, and at the same time, I can’t put you in to check his condition and then let you out. You have to be prepared to not see him for a long time. Okay, do you have any questions?”
Luo Wei’s body was tense, but his tone was as relaxed as possible. “That is to say, after I was taken into the space by Mr. Shen, I was about equivalent to a sleeping beauty?”
“It can be understood that way.”
Tao Yuan’s lips twitched, his hands clenched because of this sudden message. “…After the captain enters the space, will he need to drink water or eat? Will the long coma cause a negative impact on his body?”
Shen Shian shook his head, “The time stillness I said is absolute. His physical function will be completely stagnant, it will not become better or worse. What he looks like when I put him in will be what he looks like when I let him out. Before you make the decision, I need to emphasize: my ability can only keep Captain Luo in the current state, there is no way to change the fact that he is infected with the virus, and there is no guarantee that the virus vaccine will be developed nor will it be effective on someone that has already been infected. In the final analysis, whether he can survive is not under my control.”
“Enough,” Tao Yuan smiled at Shen Shian, and the joy suddenly appearing made his tears completely uncontrollable. The tears rolled down and he wiped it off quickly, then turned his head to look at Luo Wei, “That’s enough.”
As long as the captain wants to live, this is enough.
“Is there any problem?” Shen Shian said, “I suggest that you can make a decision as soon as possible. After all, captain Luo’s body will continue to mutate every second. Even if we finally confirm that the zombie virus cannot be cured, you will at least have the opportunity to say goodbye.”
Tao Yuan immediately grabbed Luo Wei’s arm, “Captain.”
Luo Wei and he stared at each other for a moment. He took down the military badge on his neck and put it in Tao Yuan’s hands. “Live well, I hope that when I wake up, the vice captain will be the first person I see.”
Then he nodded to Shen Shian, “Sorry to trouble Mr. Shen.”
After Luo Wei was put into the second floor of the bamboo building, Shen Shian took out a common piece of protective clothing and a bag of rice and handed it to Tao Yuan. “Remember, don’t let others see any flaws.”
Tao Yuan nodded hard, “You can rest assured.”
Under the cover of night, the next plan was smooth. No one found that inside the body bag was not Luo Wei, but a bodysuit full of rice.
The real Luo Wei had been sleeping on the second floor of the bamboo building to this day.
In addition to admiring Luo Wei’s character, the reason why he would help him this far was to make up for the shortcomings of the zombie virus that just broke out and his failure to save Fan Guoping——
