Hearing her request, Pei Yijun and his team quickly unloaded the supplies. An unexplainable sense of urgency pushed them to move faster.
Once they were done, Jiao Lizhi went to find something to cover the car. Seeing this, Pei Yijun followed and asked, "What are you looking for?"
"Something to cover the car," she replied while scanning the area. ƒrēewebnovel.com
She walked to the side of the building and spotted a pile of trash in the alley. Among the discarded waste, she found boxes, torn fabric, and—most importantly—several tarpaulins, though some had small holes.
She quickly pulled them out and said, "Senior, help me!"
Pei Yijun didn't understand why she was so insistent, but he still helped her carry the tarpaulins. While they covered the cars, Li Yang and the rest searched the restaurant.
Inside the kitchen, they found it fully stocked with supplies.
"Good thing there is still food here. Otherwise, we would be in trouble," Chu Zhimiao said, letting out a breath of relief.
Feeling thirsty, Li Yang licked his dry lips and asked, "Miaomiao, have you recovered enough to give us some water?"
Chu Zhimiao looked at his condition and frowned, "I should be able to."
Hearing this, Li Yang's eyes lit up. He quickly found a clean cup and handed it to her, "Just a sip or two. Don't push yourself."
"Okay."
She positioned her forefingers above the cup and focused her energy. Slowly, a thin stream of water trickled into the cup.
However, her energy hadn't fully recovered and the poison in her body still lingered, blocking her core. Using her ability now felt like countless needles pricking her skull. By the time the cup was half full, cold sweat covered her forehead.
Seeing this, Li Yang said anxiously, "Miaomiao, stop, it's enough!"
Snapping back to reality, Chu Zhimiao stopped, her body swaying from dizziness.
Li Yang quickly reached out to steady her and exclaimed with worry, "Miaomiao!"
After catching her breath, she handed him the cup and said, "I'm fine. Drink first."
Li Yang took it but pressed it to her lips and said, "You drink first."
Chu Zhimiao hesitated, then took a small sip before handing it back and said, "You also drink."
This time, Li Yang didn't refuse and took a sip of water. Since water was limited, each person only took a sip, leaving some for Pei Yijun. When they returned to the main area, Jiao Lizhi and Pei Yijun had already entered the restaurant.
Seeing their pale faces, Jiao Lizhi said, "There is food and water. Help yourselves and replenish your energy."
Hearing her words, they exchanged hesitant glances. Even if the supplies were there, they belonged to Jiao Lizhi. It didn't feel right to take them without permission.
Understanding their thoughts, Pei Yijun said, "Just record what you take. We will repay her when we find more supplies."
