Quick Transmigration: The Villain Always Ends Up with the Male Lead

Chapter 152 Human Leaders Are Blind to the Truth (5)

You even noticed that...

Shi Qi thought this to himself, but his face showed no sign of dissatisfaction with the food. He shook his head and said, "It's not that it doesn't suit my taste. I just eat a little slowly."

Hearing that he had no complaints about the food, Si Yan was relieved: "That's good. If you're not full, just let me know. There's plenty more to eat."

Before Shi Qi could reply, Zhang Lie, sitting next to him, chimed in jealously, "Boss, I don't have enough to eat either~ I also want to be pampered by you~"

Si Yan said she was really disgusted, and pressed his forehead and pushed him away: "Get out of here, can't you get some yourself if there's not enough? Don't you have hands?"

Ye Xin stood up for Zhang Lie, saying, "Boss, that's not right of you! How can you just look at how good-looking someone is and ignore our little Zhang Lie?"

Zhang Lie nodded in agreement, "with tears in his eyes: That's right! That's right! Don't I deserve more food, boss?!"

Watching the two of them go at it so convincingly, Ling Wei quietly said, "But... Zhang Lie, you were really disgusting just now..."

"Hey! Ling Wei, how could you say that to me? I'm so sad!" Zhang Lie expressed his distress. Being disliked by the boss was bad enough, but why did the kind-hearted Ling Wei speak to him like that?

Si Yan poured cold water on his argument again: "He was just telling the truth..."

Shi Qi originally intended to secretly hide some of the dry rations while they were bickering, but before he could do so, he felt a gaze fixed on him, and he knew without a doubt who it was.

It seems that although Jiang Weilan has temporarily given up trying to get more information out of him, she hasn't stopped observing whether he's acting strangely.

Under Jiang Weilan's gaze, Shi Qi had no choice but to eat the food. Before gaining the team's complete trust, it was best not to act rashly.

After arguing with Zhang Lie, Si Yan turned around and found that Shi Qi's dry rations were all gone: "Is that enough? Do you want some more?" He said, "Tell me if you don't have enough," but ended up asking first.

Shi Qi quickly waved his hand: "No need, I've almost finished eating."

"Okay..." he said, handing his water bottle to Shi Qi.

Amidst the stares of the others, Shi Qi naturally took the water bottle, unscrewed it, and took two sips, his mouth not even avoiding the spout.

After Shi Qi finished drinking, he handed the water bottle back. Si Yan swallowed the dry food in his hand in one gulp, then took the water bottle back from Shi Qi and also tilted his head back to drink a few mouthfuls.

This time, everyone was truly astonished. Even Jiang Weilan's expression froze. What happened to his germaphobia? What happened to his refusal to share a water bottle with others? He had clearly refused Dr. Jiang's request to borrow the water bottle earlier.

Si Yan paid no attention to the expressions of others. He probably even wondered why he so naturally shared a water bottle with Shi Qi.

"Si Yan's favorable impression +5"

"It seems our route isn't heading directly to S City? Is there something else going on?" Shi Qi asked Si Yan.

Si Yan nodded: "Yes, Dr. Jiang said that the research center in City A next door has plant strains that can develop zombie vaccines, as well as some important scientific instruments, so we have to go and take a look."

"Are you still coming with us? Won't it take up too much of your time?" Si Yan asked with some concern.

Shi Qi's expression softened somewhat as he said, "Of course, as you said, as human beings, we should help each other, shouldn't we?"

After their rest period, the group set off for City A again. Low-level zombies appeared one after another along the way, but they posed no threat to the team.

As darkness fell, even though they hadn't left City B yet, the group had to find a temporary shelter for the night.

Since most low-level zombies are photophobic, nighttime is the best time for them to hunt. Even if they encounter mostly low-level zombies, humans wouldn't be foolish enough to go out and face so many zombies, since no one wants to become a meal.

The team eventually entered a rather inconspicuous hut, because even if there were zombies inside, they wouldn't pose any danger to them, so Zhang Lie led the way.

Zhang Lie walked ahead, holding his gun, cautiously surveying the environment inside the small house.

Shi Qi felt quite relaxed afterward, because with his superhuman senses, he had already sensed that there were no zombies in the cabin. Of course, he still had to pretend to be cautious.

Sure enough, a moment later, Zhang Lie whispered, "There are no zombies inside, everyone come in."

The little house looks small, but it's fully equipped. It has a living room, bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom; and the furniture is in excellent condition, with almost no damage except for a layer of dust on it.

Si Yan lifted the covers from the double bed in the bedroom. There was nothing unclean inside, so he assigned the bed to the two girls, and the four of them slept on the floor in the living room.

By the time everything was arranged and tidied up, it was completely dark, and more and more zombies could be seen wandering outside.

As the team leader, Si Yan said responsibly, "I'll keep watch tonight, you guys go to sleep first."

Because of his zombie instincts, Shi Qi couldn't actually sleep. He pretended to lie on the ground, acting as if he were asleep. But soon after, he sensed the aura of a high-level zombie.

Regardless of whether he would be exposed, Shi Qi sat up abruptly.

Si Yan looked at him with some confusion, and before she could ask "What's wrong?", she heard Shi Qi say, "It seems like there are zombies coming from nearby."

Despite his doubts, Si Yan still picked up the binoculars and looked outside, but he didn't see the zombies Shi Qi had mentioned: "There aren't any zombies outside. How do you know?"

Without hesitation, Shi Qi replied, "My ability not only enhances the body, but also the senses. I was used to spending the night alone before, so I subconsciously used my ability this time as well."

Si Yan lowered his eyes as if he was thinking, but after a moment he believed Shi Qi's words: "Are there many zombies here?"

Shi Qi shook his head: "I only heard one thing."

Si Yan frowned. What could possibly be causing a zombie to act alone? And why was he so certain that humans existed here?

After thinking it over, Si Yan picked up the binoculars again and found that there were far fewer zombies around than before. He immediately realized what this meant, so he called out to Shi Qi and the other people who were still asleep.

Si Yan said solemnly, "Everyone get ready, a high-level zombie is coming this way."
