Ning Chen looked at him and immediately understood that Facing Huo Jinglin must have noticed, so Ning Chen nodded at him.

Facing Huo Jinglin, having received the confirmation signal, withdrew his gaze but did not mention Gu Yanqi's situation; he merely looked at Lin Yi with a faint smile in his eyes.

"Hey? Why is this door locked again? Jinglin, come over quickly."

Facing Huo Jinglin was called over by Lin Yi again and repeated the previous method to break the door lock.

However, this time, even though the lock was broken, the door would not open at all, as if some heavy object was blocking it from the inside.

There is someone inside.

This was Facing Huo Jinglin's first thought.

"Brother Ning."

In this situation, Facing Huo Jinglin decisively chose to ask Ning Chen for help.

Ning Chen, who had been called, came to the door and released his ability to investigate the situation inside.

According to the information displayed, there were indeed two living people inside: one male and one female.

"Go find Xiao Han."

Ning Chen could naturally move the heavy object inside, but doing so through the door would likely require breaking it down violently, and he feared it might hurt the people inside.

Lin Yi quickly brought Xiao Han over. Without asking a single question, Xiao Han directly extended his hand and released his ability.

It seemed Lin Yi had already explained everything.

Behind the door, plants appeared out of thin air and moved all the various heavy objects inside to other places.

Soon, the door was opened easily.

The four people entered the room; inside appeared to be a living room. The situation was better than imagined: it was very clean and tidy, with a strong scent of human life.

Before they could finish surveying the living room, a male voice appeared from the left: "What are you doing!"

Ning Chen looked over and saw a young man who appeared to be in his early twenties. The young man's hair was in a nest-like mess, and he was still wearing pajamas, clearly having just woken up.

Ning Chen said nothing, and the others kept their mouths shut, not knowing what to say. The five of them just stood there, staring at each other with wide eyes.

The sound of a room door opening interrupted everyone's mutual gaze.

They saw the room next to the young man's open, and a girl who looked seven or eight-tenths similar to the young man walked out, her eyes half-closed with sleep.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

Seeing his beloved little sister come out, the young man hurriedly stepped forward, positioning himself in front of the girl with a face full of vigilance.

Well, it looks like they've been mistaken for bad guys.

Lin, the Diplomat, Yi was officially online.

Lin Yi put on an innocent smile and, appearing slightly flustered on the surface, explained: "Ah, you misunderstood. Um, we are not bad guys."

In the apocalypse, no one would easily trust others. The young man clearly did not believe him and took another step back while protecting his sister.

"How did you get in!" The young man glanced at the doorway and saw that the heavy objects he had struggled so hard to move to the entrance had actually been moved away.

If those objects had been destroyed, he might have thought it was normal, but these objects were perfectly intact. How could someone from outside have moved things inside the room?

Unless...

The young man pressed his lips together in thought, then looked at the four people, specifically at Ning Chen, who was obviously the leader: "Do you guys have some kind of superpower?"

Ning Chen showed no expression on his face, but he was somewhat surprised inside. He was surprised by the young man's sharpness; with just one look at the situation, he had made continuous deductions, and his deductions were even correct.

Knowing that Ning Chen would not speak, Lin Yi had to step in again: "Bingo, you got it right! But not everyone has it; for example, I am just an ordinary person."

The young man frowned slightly, but knowing their situation clearly made him relax.

He could feel that these people held no ill will. After all, if they had ill intentions, with such special abilities, they could have executed them on the spot.

"You guys, sit down first. My sister and I will change our clothes first." After speaking, the young man pushed his sister back into her room.

Ning Chen looked around and sat down on the sofa in the living room. Xiao Han immediately sat beside him.

Lin Yi moved here and there around the room, looking very curious about everything here.

"How amazing. How did they manage to survive in the apocalypse, and they even look so relaxed?"

Ning Chen glanced at Lin Yi, who was moving around wildly, and said nothing. Ning Chen did not intend to say anything; Lin Yi had his own sense of propriety.

"Crack!" The door opened, and the first to walk out was that girl.

The girl looked at everyone with curiosity.

The girl belonged to the petite type, with big eyes, estimated to be under 1.6 meters tall, and her whole figure was petite, delicate, and cute.

The girl looked slightly shy; she just stood aside watching everyone and did not speak.

Ning Chen and Xiao Han naturally would not initiate conversation, and Facing Huo Jinglin had not looked at the girl once from beginning to end, so the task of talking naturally fell to Lin Yi.

Ning Chen glanced at Lin Yi, and with their long-standing tacit understanding, Lin Yi immediately understood Ning Chen's meaning.

Lin, the Diplomat, Yi was online again.

"Hello, little sister. What is your name?"

Apparently not expecting anyone to talk to her, the girl was clearly startled, then leaned back slightly and said in a soft, sweet voice: "Xu Yue. My name is Xu Yue."

Sensing the girl's timidity, Lin Yi showed a kind smile.

"That's a very nice name. I am Lin Yi. The two on the sofa over there: the one on the left is Ning Chen, the one on the right is Xiao Han, and the one sitting on the stool is Facing Huo Jinglin."

The girl listened very carefully, and after Lin Yi finished speaking, she nodded seriously.

"Little Sister Yue, why are you hiding in here? It's been so long. Don't you go out?" Lin Yi started calling girls "little sister" as soon as he met them. He naturally had a gentle, harmless face, and as long as he wanted to, he could easily win people's favor.

Xu Yue also relaxed her guard under this approach, and she could be said to have a pleasant conversation with Lin Yi.

"Since the infection outbreak began, we have been inside the house. Actually, it hasn't been very difficult. We have a lot, a lot of food. If we start eating now, we can still eat for another year or two."

As she spoke, Xu Yue showed a proud expression.

Ning Chen raised an eyebrow, looking toward Xu Yue; this house was not large, so storing that much food was clearly impossible.

Earlier, when Ning Chen had scouted the house, he had detected no basement.

Moreover, setting aside whether there was even a place to store food, over these two years, much of the food would have spoiled.

It seemed this brother and sister pair must possess some ability.

Ning Chen moved his hand silently; an invisible power surged rapidly toward Xu Yue, then carefully probed her ability.

Sensing Xu Yue's ability, Ning Chen was somewhat surprised; no wonder they had been able to hold out for so long.

What Ning Chen sensed was an extremely vast space containing many items, all kept in a very fresh state.

This must be a spatial ability, and it appeared capable of preserving items in the state they were in upon entry.

After exploring the girl's ability, Ning Chen turned his gaze to the other door; now he wanted to see what kind of ability that boy possessed.

Under Ning Chen's gaze, the door opened; the boy had changed into a tracksuit, and his hair was combed neatly.

To be honest, the boy was quite good-looking, and his prominent bone structure made him appear rather rugged.

The power silently climbed onto the man, probing his ability.

Suddenly, a power entangled with Ning Chen's power; that power was fierce, seeming to want to devour him.

The boy also looked warily at Lin Yi standing before him and the other three people seated on the chairs.

It seemed he had been discovered; Ning Chen raised an eyebrow, looked at the boy, then intensified his power, breaking through the grip of that power.

Dark-type ability?

Ning Chen finally understood why his exploration had been detected.

After all, light and dark were opposing forces.

Ning Chen withdrew his power; he could clearly sense the boy's relief.

"Brother, brother?"

Xu Yue tugged the boy; seeing him lost in thought, she could not help but show a worried expression on her face.

The boy came to his senses, patted his own sister's head: "I'm fine, what's wrong?"

Xu Yue shook her head, indicating there was nothing wrong.

The diplomat Lin Yi looked at the boy, hurried forward to grasp his hand; not only that, he shook it up and down: "Hello, hello, my name is Lin Yi; may I ask your name?"

"Xu Ri."

The boy spoke only two words, appearing very cold, completely different from his attitude toward his own sister.

"What are you doing here?" Xu Ri stood in front of his own sister; he would not simply trust these people.

Lin Yi opened his mouth; what should he say? Their original purpose was to raid the supermarket, wasn't it?

He certainly couldn't say their car's GPS had malfunctioned, locked onto this location, so they decided to go all in and come in to see if there was anything worth taking.
