Is the danger over?
Tang Ling's tensed body felt like the last bit of strength was sucked away as he fell on his back uncontrollably.
San San's small body bore Tang Ling's weight. She supported him and let him lie down gently, using her legs to cushion his head.
The night was unusually cold.
However, his little sister's body temperature kept coming, warming Tang Ling's brain that could no longer think.
Grandmother's rough hand held Tang Ling's weak hand.
"Food …" His brain went blank. That was the only sound he could make. He could no longer figure out what he wanted to express. It was just his instinct.
The existence in his chest was commanding Tang Ling to express his instinct.
The backpack on his back was untied by his grandmother. Sweet water flowed from Tang Ling's parched throat into his stomach.
Level 4 drinking water.
In that house, Tang Ling and his grandmother would only leave it for San San.
However, Tang Ling, who was left with only his blurry instinct, gulped down the precious' water 'that he was once reluctant to drink.
A piece of meat was torn by his grandmother and passed into Tang Ling's mouth. In his confusion, Tang Ling unconsciously saw Quark stop his grandmother.
"Try this." Quark took out something wrapped in precious paper from his bag. He opened it layer after layer and there was a black thing inside. It was as rough as a small brick.
Quark easily crushed it and stuffed it into Tang Ling's mouth. Tang Ling instinctively tried to chew it, but he realized it quickly melted in his mouth and turned into a bitter yet oddly sweet liquid that flowed into his stomach.
A wave of heat rose and his numb brain actually felt a sense of peace.
"This is a high-end product from Safety Sector No. 17. It's a life-saving food that only Purple Moon Warriors can enjoy. " Quark started to chatter endlessly, but he was not stingy. Piece after piece of the black food was stuffed into Tang Ling's mouth.
Tang Ling did not even need to chew as his energy was replenished endlessly.
Tang Ling felt slightly better and his brain also regained a little consciousness.
"Actually, the old civilization produced better. Unfortunately, there are only a few that could be preserved by accident. I've been dreaming of getting my hands on one, you know? It's called chocolate. "A small brick was not much, and soon, there was only one small piece left in Quark's hand.
After recovering some of his strength, Tang Ling strenuously grabbed Quark's hand and pinched the piece of chocolate.
"Cold, eat, sweet." He raised his hand, wanting to pass it to San Shan.
Grandma tightened her grip on Tang Ling's hand. Another drop of cold water fell on Tang Ling's face. She caught it and swallowed it without a sound. She curled up and hugged her brother's head.
"Give him some more meat. Based on my understanding, it's necessary to replenish any ability after it's used. "Quark appeared to be very knowledgeable.
It was obvious that Tang Ling's speedy recovery made his grandmother trust Quark.
She passed the meat into Tang Ling's mouth. Quark took out a small knife and cut the meat into a shape that was easy to eat.
Tang Ling swallowed the meat in big mouthfuls.
Non-polluting, high-grade goods were also very powerful in replenishing energy. Although it was not as good as Quark's chocolate, the quantity was huge.
As big chunks of meat went into his stomach, Tang Ling started to recover rapidly. It caused him to eat faster and faster, which scared his grandmother.
Quark, on the other hand, was nonchalant as he held a cigarette in his mouth and said, "This consumption is much bigger than I thought."
The words clearly entered Tang Ling's ears, and from that moment onwards, his hearing and vision started to recover.
The messy bushes, the hazy Purple Moon, the breeze formed by the chilly air, the noisy footsteps, the voices of people, and the roars of zombies not far away …
Zombies!
Tang Ling widened his eyes abruptly as he flipped over and climbed up from the ground.
Even though his brain was still a little swollen and painful, his face was covered in dried blood and looked a little messy, and the greedy appetite from his chest had yet to subside, the fact that he was still in danger made it impossible for him to lie down quietly and allow himself to indulge in the desire to eat.
"It's just a few minutes. You don't have to be so nervous." Quark patted Tang Ling's shoulder and then gazed at the direction of Safety Sector No. 17. "Moreover, this place is safe."
Safe?
Tang Ling sized up his surroundings in confusion.
There were still quite a number of zombies wandering around the area. The nearest one was less than 30 to 40 meters away from them, so how could it be considered safe?
Cold sweat dripped down Tang Ling's forehead, but he soon noticed that the nearest zombie was lying on the ground. It was drooling non-stop and roaring madly, but it did not choose to rush over.
Did something happen?
The unbelievable scene made Tang Ling stand up uncontrollably.
He saw that there were still quite a number of people running for their lives in the entire Safety Zone. They were popping out from various underground exits or running in the night. It was obviously chaotic and dangerous.
However, there was also a dense crowd nearby. They were all squeezing towards the Safety Sector, but it was obvious that they were not running for their lives.
It stunned Tang Ling, who had just recovered a little.
Quark said directly, "Haven't you noticed? From here to there, this area is safe. The zombies won't dare to come over. "
Quark gestured with his arm and clearly drew out a semicircle of a safe zone.
It was close to Safety Sector No. 17 and was not big at all, only less than half a square mile.
There were obviously not many people who could successfully escape to this place. Even though the crowd was dense, it was not exactly crowded.
All of these raised a huge doubt in Tang Ling's heart. An indescribable uneasiness started to spread again. There was also an unusual feeling that made Tang Ling feel a little cold.
"Let's go. It's time for us to try our luck. You have to trust me. "Quark shrugged. It was obvious that he had completely relaxed.
Tang Ling nodded. The resources that he brought out had already been consumed by him. He was originally a little lost about what he should do after he got out, so all he could do now was follow Quark.
He carried his sister and held his grandmother's hand. Tang Ling followed Quark into the crowd and headed towards Safety Sector No. 17.
He could not see what was happening in front since the dense crowd blocked his sight.
"Choosing to go with you this time is one of the greatest choices I've made in my life." Quark put his hand on Tang Ling's shoulder. It was obvious that Tang Ling's performance had won his true respect and attention.
"So, your good days are about to begin. Trust me, I'll definitely bring you into Safety Sector No. 17. You know I have the ability. If I wanted to, I could have stayed in there a long time ago. " Due to his excitement, Quark walked very fast. Tang Ling carried his sister and held his grandmother's hand, trying his best to keep up with his pace.
After going through a life and death situation, plus their old friendship, Tang Ling and Quark had built some trust.
