Late at night, everything was silent and a pitch-black darkness enveloped the earth. An off-road vehicle was speeding on the bumpy road. Outside the window, endless darkness tightly wrapped around the vehicle like a block of ink.

The outline of the road can only be seen in the area illuminated by the headlights, but the car always maintains the fastest speed.

The black panther followed closely behind, occasionally letting out a few low and shocking roars, intimidating the mutant rats around them that were ready to move. They rushed forward all the way, and any obstacles blocking their way would be smashed to pieces by the dazzling purple lightning.

After reaching a smoother road, Gu Xuan unbuckled his seat belt, grabbed the back of the front seat with both hands, leaned close to Lu Huaishan's ear, and asked curiously.

"Brother Lu, what are you going to do after you catch him?"

There was a hint of teasing and schadenfreude in his tone.

Lu Huaishan looked at the map and guessed the route Su Qian'an would take. When he heard Gu Xuan's question, he said without turning his head, "Kill him and eat him."

Gu Xuan blew a long whistle, gave Lu Huaishan a thumbs up, and his expression became more and more excited.

"Cool, brother!" Gu Xuan exclaimed and continued to tease Lu Huaishan.

"So how do you plan to eat it? Do you need any seasoning to improve the taste? For the sake of our father-son relationship over the years, I can provide you with the seasoning. It's handmade, safe, and everyone who has used it says it's good. How about it? Would you like some?"

You don't need to look at their expressions to feel the desire to watch the fun; you can feel it just by listening to the sounds.

It’s really not a big deal to watch the excitement.

After hearing this, Lu Huaishan took his time to look at the map and turned to look at him. "Hmm? What do you have?"

Hearing that he was interested, Gu Xuan became more excited. "There are so many, Xiang..."

"Meow."

"Cough cough." Hearing the cat's meow, Xiao Sui suddenly remembered that there was a child in the back seat. He coughed twice and interrupted him.

Gu Xuan's attention was instantly diverted. He abandoned his father-son relationship and turned to ask Xiao Sui about his well-being.

"Honey, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? Stop the car and let me drive."

Lu Huaishan turned his head to look at Ji Xi, who was sitting obediently with his ears covered by the black cat. Seeing the black cat with a bald head and a condemning look at him, he couldn't help but laughed.

Then, under its angry expression, it reluctantly suppressed the smile on its face, coughed lightly, rolled up the map in its hand into a strip, slapped it on the back of Gu Xuan's head, and spoke seriously.

"He's telling you to shut up and sit still. What is he saying in front of the child?"

He looked so serious, as if the person who just asked was not him.

It didn't hurt when hit by the paper, but Gu Xuan still held his head and pretended to howl a few times. He shut up and sat back in his seat after being hit again.

He looked at Ji Xi, who had a confused look on his face, and felt a rare sense of guilt for corrupting a child.

However, after thinking about what I had just said and realizing that it didn't seem to be a big deal, the guilt instantly disappeared without a trace.

He began to ask her in a playful manner if she was sleepy. Seeing her shaking her head, Gu Xuan took out a candy from the bag and handed it to him, then peeled one for himself and put it in his mouth.

Then, he sat quietly in the back seat, put on his hat, closed his eyes and rested, preparing to take over Xiao Sui's shift.

At dawn, the morning light began to appear, and the soft sunlight shone through the dense vines onto the slowly moving off-road vehicle.

Lu Huaishan looked at the fork in the road ahead and pointed to the road that had obviously been cleared.

They chose a route that would take them to Huiyue the fastest. It would be best if they could meet Su Qian'an on the way, but if not, they would go to the destination to block him.

After determining the route, Gu Xuan stepped on the accelerator without hesitation. In an instant, the car body rushed away like an arrow, bringing up a gust of wind that blew up the dust on the roadside, revealing the signboard buried underneath. It was covered with mottled bloodstains, and if you look closely, you can barely make out the word "clock".

Entering the Zhongzhou area, Gu Xuan looked through the rearview mirror at the small pickup truck that had been following them from a distance since they left the capital, and couldn't help but frown.

"Brother Lu, that car is still following us."

Lu Huaishan pinched his brows and said in a low voice, "It's okay, just drive your car."

At noon, the sun was scorching hot. Lu Huaishan and his companions decided to stop and rest for a while. When they got some fresh air, the pickup truck that had been following them also stopped and a familiar man got out of the car.

Zhang Rui carefully walked around the black panther that was baring its teeth at him, walked up to Lu Huaishan, took out a pack of cigarettes that he had always been reluctant to smoke from his arms and handed it to him.

"Brother, it's really you! I was wondering who else could keep the car so clean except you."

Zhang Rui had a fawning look on his face, and his tone was full of flattery and fawning.

However, Lu Huaishan did not take his cigarette, but just played with the lighter in his hand with a cold look in his eyes. He looked up and looked coldly at the other person's happy face, and his voice was as cold as ice.

"You are quite brave. You even dare to come close to me. Do you think the lesson from last time was not enough?"

Hearing this, Zhang Rui subconsciously covered his bandaged hand with his hand and smiled awkwardly.

"Haha, I took a detour by accident at first, but I have changed now. Look, brother, I saved someone!"

Lu Huaishan tilted his head and looked at the several strong men and the elderly, women and children who were standing restrainedly beside the pickup truck. He moved his gaze to his face and said speechlessly.

"You followed us all the way, just to let me praise you?"

Zhang Rui scratched his head and smiled at him flatteringly, "No, no, isn't the Capital Base gone? We just want to know which base you are going to so that we can find a way out."

"We didn't..." Lu Huaishan was about to deny it, but suddenly he seemed to remember something, looked at his muscles, and changed his words, "We are going to Qinghu Base."

Gu Xuan, 009:?

Upon hearing this, Zhang Rui looked embarrassed and hesitant.

"Qinghu? That's a bit far. Are there any requirements for entering the base? Do you accept ordinary people?"

After planning to recruit them, Lu Huaishan's attitude towards him became better. He walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder.

Feeling the fairly strong muscles under his hand, he withdrew his hand with satisfaction.

"Yes, but the base is small and there aren't many people."

Zhang Rui was somewhat flattered by the photo he took, and quickly responded after hearing what he said.

"It's okay, as long as there are fewer people, it's safe!"

Lu Huaishan raised his eyebrows. Bursts of muffled thunder sounded above his head and several lightning flashed in the dark clouds. He snapped his fingers and a bolt of lightning struck down, landing on the zombie who had just stuck his head out after hearing the noise.

"Don't worry about safety. Everyone in the base is a mutant."

Zhang Rui stared blankly at the zombies that were chopped into ashes, and the dark clouds dispersed to reveal a clear sky again. His throat rolled unconsciously and he swallowed hard.

Oh my goodness, this is much better than any other person he has seen!

Zhang Rui talked to Lu Huaishan for a few more words, then went back excitedly to tell others where they were going next.

Gu Xuan watched this scene, eating the energy bar in his hand, and leaned close to Xiao Sui's ear thoughtfully, and asked in a low voice that only the two of them could hear.

"When did Qinghu have a base?"

009 saw them huddled together and whispering, and suspected that they were discussing what had just happened, so he grabbed Gu Xuan's trouser leg, climbed onto his back, and listened with his ears pricked up.

Xiao Sui remembered what Lu Huaishan had told him before about building a base, and began to look at the group of people. Although this group of people were a little thin, they looked much better than those outside the capital base.

They were able to bring a group of elderly, weak, women and children to the capital safely, so they must have some strength and can help with the work.

Understanding what Lu Huaishan wanted to do, Xiao Sui turned around and whispered in Gu Xuan's ear.

“They had it in the past.”

After resting, Lu Huaishan and Gu Xuan drove the off-road vehicle with Black Cat who insisted on following them to find Su Qian'an first.

Xiao Sui and the others were left behind, and they slowly headed towards Qinghu Lake with the others.

---

Three weeks later, they finally arrived at Huiyue, which was a famous flower city before the end of the world.

Even now, the apocalypse doesn't seem to have any impact on it. Apart from being filled with zombies, it has hardly changed from before the apocalypse. The city is still full of flowers, and it's even cleaner.

Compared with other cities, it is like a second world independent of it.

Lu Huaishan stood at the entrance of Huiyue, carefully examining the nearby terrain and buildings.

Su Qian'an, who was unaware that Lu Huaishan had already found the base camp and was still planning how to capture him, was also rushing to the destination as fast as possible.

However, because Song Ci was afraid to drive fast, he did not reach his destination until a week later.

Su Qian drove into the city. Looking at the clean and tidy streets along the way, a rare smile appeared on his face.

Song Ci turned around and saw the smile on his face. She was stunned for a moment. Su Qi'an was handsome, but he usually had a gloomy face, which made people afraid to approach him.

Although the corners of her mouth are only slightly raised now, she feels like a delicate doll has finally come alive.

Su Qian felt his gaze, the corners of his mouth drooped, and he turned to look at him expressionlessly.

"Sorry... I'm sorry." Song Ci came back to her senses and quickly looked away, not daring to look at him again.

Su Qian didn't take this episode to heart and drove the car to the villa area in the city center.

At the gate of the community, except for Jiang Nan and Yun Qi, all the other zombies with special abilities stood outside respectfully to welcome Su Qian'an's arrival.

On the other side, Lu Huaishan was standing alone on a tree in the distance, watching the scene through a telescope.

Looking at the clothes that were much bigger than Su Qian'an's, the joy he had been waiting for disappeared at this moment. He closed his eyes and felt a dull pain in his heart.

How could I have lost so much weight?

It's only been a month since I last saw him, but all the weight he had gained over the past six months has disappeared completely. He even looks a lot thinner than when I first saw him.

Why don't those zombies know how to coax people around?

Lu Huaishan stood motionless on the tree, watching Su Qian'an through a telescope, from morning to night, until the lights in the villa where Su Qian'an lived went out. Then he moved his stiff feet and jumped down from the tree. Relying on the fact that the zombies would not hurt him, he sneaked into the villa openly.

It was obvious that this villa was decorated by those zombies with special powers. It was very fancy. The walls and stair railings were covered with different kinds of flowers, and there were also flowers on the tables and countertops. There were even petals scattered on the ground.

In addition, the decoration of the villa was replaced with exquisite ice sculptures, all of which were things that Su Qian'an liked before.

At this moment, a very light cat's meow sounded in his ears, and Lu Huaishan looked in the direction of the sound.

"Meow…"

The ragdoll cat walked out from the shadows, looked in the moonlight at the man who had obviously been carefully dressed, called out a few times into the translator, and walked up to him and patted his trouser leg.

Lu Huaishan squatted down and looked at the translator on its chest.

"He's in the master bedroom on the second floor."

Lu Huaishan nodded and went up to the second floor. He didn't need to look anywhere to tell at a glance that the room was where Su Qinan lived.

He walked to an equally fancy door, looked at the crown carved on the metal doorplate, gently turned the doorknob, and walked in quietly.

Unlike the outside, the room was very simply decorated and there were few things. In the empty room there was only a bed, a sofa, a wardrobe and a rocking chair. There were fish and ants on the windowsill, and a few pots of flowers.

Lying on the bed was the person he had been thinking about for a month. Lu Huaishan sat beside the bed, looking at his pale face. He reached out to smooth his frowning brows, and saw that he was holding something in his arms and was about to pull it out.

The next second, someone suddenly grabbed his wrist tightly and the person lying on the bed opened his eyes.

Lu Huaishan's breathing stagnated, he looked up at him, opened his mouth, and wanted to tease him like before, "Did you miss me?" But his throat was too dry to speak.

The four looked at each other, but no one spoke or moved.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment. There was dead silence all around and only the sound of their two heartbeats could be heard.

I don’t know how long it took, but when Lu Huaishan was about to hold him in his arms, Su Qian moved first. He closed his eyes, buried his face in Lu Huaishan’s palm, rubbed it gently like a well-behaved kitten, and murmured something.

"It's another dream..."

The sound is very soft, as soft as a mosquito's hum.

Dream? Lu Huaishan bent down and put his ear close to the other person's mouth, afraid of missing a word. After waiting for a while, he heard his name.

"Lu Huaishan..."

These words were like a thunderclap exploding in Lu Huaishan's ears, shaking his heart and mind. Suddenly realizing something, he carefully pulled the clothes out of Su Qian'an's arms, spread them out with one hand and looked at them carefully.

As he had guessed, it was his clothes.

His throat rolled slowly, and he pulled out his hand that was held by him and gently wrapped his arms around his waist to hold him in his arms, feeling the light weight in his arms and his waist that was so thin that he could pinch it with one hand.

After a long while, he finally squeezed out a few words from his dry throat, his voice was hoarse.

"I'm here."

"It's not a dream. I found you."
