The Male Leads Who Are Becoming Stranger and Stranger [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 7

Chapter 7

Jian Yan was woken up by the cold.

Upon opening his eyes, he was met with a world of ice and snow.

Beautiful and pure.

However, this phenomenon dissolved into shimmering fragments and vanished the moment the person still entwined around him woke up from a groggy slumber. Everything returned to its state from yesterday.

Had it not been for the refreshing scent of ice and snow still lingering in the air, one might have thought the scene just now was merely an illusion.

Feeling the warm temperature beside him, the not-yet-fully-awake She Yi instinctively rubbed against it once, and then again, repeating the motion…

It is believed that every man with normal functions has an inevitable, habitual experience every morning.

Jian Yan glanced sideways at the person rubbing against him; his eyes were dark, and his face was somewhat livid. Finally, as if unable to endure it any longer, he pushed the person aside forcefully, quickly rolled out of bed, and strode into the bathroom.

This movement woke She Yi up completely. His gaze, still carrying a trace of bewilderment, drifted toward the bathroom door that had been slammed shut, feeling somewhat confused.

At this time, the little dragon, who had been missing all night, quietly crawled to the edge of the pillow and rubbed its cold little head against She Yi’s fair cheek.

She Yi reached out expressionlessly, his fingertip lightly stroking the little dragon’s head. Those thick, lightless eyes showed no trace of muddled innocence at this moment—only an endless, profound darkness.

The sound of the bathroom door opening rang out. She Yi turned his head and saw Jian Yan walking out with a dark expression.

A trace of joy appeared in the depths of his eyes. She Yi got up hurriedly, his voice laced with concern:

“Xiao Yan, are you okay? Yesterday…”

“Feel inside your body. Is there a surge of energy?”

Jian Yan interrupted him, his brow furrowed inexplicably.

She Yi, however, seriously looked the other party over from head to toe. After confirming there were no injuries, he lowered his eyes as instructed to feel the so-called energy within his body.

After a while, a trace of moist breath gradually emerged from his palm, and then…

Jian Yan looked at the motionless clump of small water droplets in She Yi’s hand: “Is that it?”

She Yi looked blank: “What else should there be?”

“…Try smashing it against the wall in front of you.”

She Yi did as he was told.

Splat it had absolutely no destructive power.

Jian Yan: “…”

She Yi: “…”

The space seemed to fall silent for a few seconds.

After a moment of silence, Jian Yan eventually said: “Clean water is very precious in the apocalypse. Besides, abilities can still be upgraded.”

Hearing this seemingly consoling sentence, She Yi’s dejected expression changed. He smiled with some joy, and those bright black eyes were like lit starlight, radiant to the extreme.

Immediately, he looked down at his palm. As if curious, he condensed water droplets again and again, then untiringly controlled them to change into different shapes one by one.

He only withdrew his hand when a certain someone reminded him it was time to leave. By this time, the originally thumb-sized water droplet could already be the size of a fist, though it still lacked any offensive power.

The four cars they had driven with Bai Mu and the others were gone. However, the two of them found a car in the gas station’s parking lot. Likely, the owners had stopped to eat just as the apocalypse descended and unfortunately turned into zombies or were killed by them.

Now, it was to their advantage.

But…

“No car keys…”

Under She Yi’s dumbfounded gaze, Jian Yan skillfully picked the car door lock. Then, after fiddling with something inside, the car actually started!

“What are you standing there for? Go collect all the remaining food in the supermarket.”

Jian Yan glanced at She Yi. After She Yi hurriedly ran off to collect food, Jian Yan turned silently and walked toward the gasoline storage area of the gas station, hoping there was still fuel left…

No one would complain about having too much of this kind of thing, especially in this apocalypse.

Two hours later, a small car drove out from the lifeless gas station and headed toward the distance.

…

City A was a city they had to pass through on the way to S City.

Several days had passed since the start of the apocalypse, and the world had completely fallen into chaos. The streets were filled with swaying zombies; not a single human could be seen.

In the silent air, a sudden noise rang out, growing from distant to near it was the sound of a car engine.

The noise attracted the attention of the zombies. One after another, they moved their stiff bodies toward the source of the sound.

However, before they could take many steps, a somewhat damaged car sped past them. Any that blocked the middle of the road were sent flying.

She Yi sat in the passenger seat, watching fearfully as another blocking zombie was knocked away. The car jolted; he was afraid it would fall apart and stop working the next second.

“Xi-Xiao Yan, actually, we could go around…”

Before he finished, She Yi heard the person beside him snort, followed by a low, magnetic voice.

“We’ll find a sturdy car in a bit.”

The meaning behind these words was clearly one of extreme disdain for the car they were currently in. However, at the time, they had no other choice.

As evening approached, the car stopped in a residential area where no zombies were visible. Jian Yan spontaneously shouldered a clearly heavy backpack, which contained the supplies scavenged along the way.

She Yi also carried a relatively smaller backpack and followed Jian Yan into the complex.

Unbeknownst to them, several pairs of eyes in the shadows had already locked onto them, staring greedily at the bulging backpack. Until She Yi and Jian Yan disappeared around a corner, the figures split into two groups. One party left silently, while the other continued to follow.

Entering the complex, Jian Yan chose a relatively clean room among the empty apartments and pushed the door open. Although he didn’t know why there were no zombies nearby, it saved a lot of trouble.

As soon as he entered, She Yi’s gaze instinctively turned toward the bathroom. He awkwardly tugged at his messy, dust-covered black hair. For some reason, in just a few short days, it had grown to his waist.

“Xiao Yan, I’m going to take a shower…”

He had spent these past few days in the car, and due to the weather, it was easy to sweat; his body felt sticky and uncomfortable. Although he had wiped himself down roughly every day, it was never as comfortable as a shower.

Now that the conditions allowed, She Yi couldn’t help but want to clean himself thoroughly.

“Don’t use the water here. It might be contaminated.”

Leaving behind that sentence, Jian Yan began to patrol the apartment. Since it was a place to spend the night, ensuring total safety was very important.

“Mm.”

She Yi beamed, happy at the other’s concern.

Since Xiao Yan had inexplicably begun to hate him before the apocalypse and later treated him coldly, he had been completely at a loss. But fortunately, things were finally better now.

She Yi walked into the bathroom in a pleasant mood. Using his water ability, he filled a whole bucket of water, took off his clothes, and washed his body. Surprisingly, there was even shampoo and body wash in the bathroom.

After washing and drying himself, She Yi changed into clean clothes. Looking at his waist-length dark hair in the mirror, he thought for a moment and finally picked up a black hair tie from the sink to tie his hair behind his head.

At this moment, a sudden commotion came from outside, sounding like people arguing.

She Yi frowned. Thinking that Jian Yan was still outside, he couldn’t help but pull open the bathroom door abruptly. The noise caused all eyes to focus on him.

For a moment, the sound of people swallowing saliva echoed in the air.

She Yi’s appearance was undoubtedly beautiful. With his long hair tied up, the features revealed were fair and handsome, with narrow and gorgeous eyes. His whole being was extremely clean, warm, and clear, without a trace of the filth of the apocalypse.

Especially since he carried that timid vibe that made people unable to resist wanting to bully and mistreat him.

Having just come out of a bath, he still carried a faint fragrance. His slightly moist eyes were momentarily dazed upon seeing so many people.

Stunned by his beauty were not only the group of sudden visitors but also Jian Yan to the side. He never knew that this former “best friend” of his could be so alluring.

“Damn, I’ve never seen such a beautiful man. The taste must be amazing!”

The leading man’s lustful gaze was almost tangible.

Behind him was a group of armed men, likely his subordinates. Hearing his lustful, joking words, they all began to jeer.

She Yi didn’t understand why so many people had suddenly appeared, but he understood the meaning behind the man’s words. His cheeks flushed red with anger. However, this appearance of his only further stirred the dark desires in people’s hearts.

The man swallowed hard and, with a lecherous expression, prepared to walk toward She Yi.

In the next instant, however, a person blocked the path. It was Jian Yan, with a fierce aura in his eyes.

Jian Yan’s appearance was also handsome, resolute and sharp but the dangerous aura swirling around him made people quite wary. He was like a ferocious cheetah; once his bottom line was touched, it would be a “kill a thousand enemies at the cost of eight hundred of one’s own” situation.

“Brother, I can let you go, but he must stay. I believe a smart person like you can see reality clearly.”

As the man finished speaking, the surrounding armed men immediately surrounded She Yi and Jian Yan, pointing their guns at them.

Jian Yan looked up indifferently, then flicked his wrist, and a wisp of flame appeared in his palm.

Awakened!

The people around were all startled. They looked at each other, momentarily hesitant.

With the arrival of the apocalypse, a small portion of people were lucky enough to gain superpowers. Their status in the apocalypse instantly rose above that of ordinary people. After all, in this cruel apocalypse, the law of the jungle was worshipped.

Just at this moment, a charming voice suddenly rang out:

“Stop—”
