Chapter 1164: Lin Yi Acting Strange

Everyone set off.

This time the location was correct; the mall had two floors in total. Ning Chen and the others went to the second floor, while Xiao Han and his group stayed on the first floor.

After Ning Chen and the others finished collecting, they brought everything down, and Xu Yue packed it all up.

Ning Chen led the two humans and one beast up to the second floor.

The second-floor area sold daily necessities, clothes, pots, pans, and the like.

In short, it was the general goods section.

The entire area was vast. Ning Chen and Gu Yanqi started collecting from the right side, while Lin Yi took Little Qiongqi to the left.

Perhaps with Little Qiongqi's boost, Lin Yi felt no fear at all at this moment; instead, he was full of enthusiasm.

Indeed, they hadn't been to a mall like this in a long time. The only time before was right at the very beginning, when they had gone shopping once.

That experience hadn't been very pleasant.

Lin Yi brought Gu Yanqi to the women's clothing section.

All kinds of clothes were available here.

Last time, Gu Yanqi couldn't get down, so they had to pick things out for her. Now that she was down, she could choose for herself.

"Take whatever you like; don't be shy." Ning Chen pulled two shopping carts and stood behind Gu Yanqi.

Gu Yanqi's face turned a bit red. Although she knew this was the apocalypse and taking these things was normal, Gu Yanqi, doing this for the first time, still felt her heart pounding.

How to put it? There was a guilty feeling of stealing, mixed with an excited feeling of being able to take whatever she wanted.

After all, having so many things to take freely was something she had never dared to imagine before.

Fortunately, Gu Yanqi quickly discarded that guilt and pushed her cart, throwing herself into choosing clothes.

This time, the RV didn't have only her as the sole girl; she also had to get some things for Xu Yue.

Xu Yue was about one size smaller than her, and since she was so well-behaved, Gu Yanqi wanted to pick out clothes for her carefully.

Seeing that Gu Yanqi was already fully engaged, Ning Chen began to search the nearby shelves extensively.

They still needed many things. Since the rooms in the RV were insufficient, they needed some folding beds. Ning Chen took out two or three folding beds.

Since there were only six of them in the entire mall, the shopping was completed quickly.

Ning Chen pushed his and Gu Yanqi's carts down to the first floor, where he saw Xiao Han and his group just emerging from one side.

They hadn't used shopping carts; after all, whatever they needed, Xu Yue could reach out, and the items would enter her space.

Seeing Ning Chen and the others, Xu Yue hurried over. Kneeling by the shopping cart, she waved her hand, and the items inside instantly vanished.

Lin Yi watched this scene in amazement, then circled around Xu Yue twice.

"Honestly, this is truly amazing, and so convenient. If I were to awaken an ability, I'd want to awaken one like this too!"

Lin Yi's amazed expression successfully made Xu Yue laugh: "Well then, I'll bless you. If you do get an ability, may it be this kind of spatial ability!"

Hearing someone agree with him, Lin Yi felt completely at ease.

"Let's go then. Staying here too long isn't good. I'm afraid the infected will smell us and come over." Xu Ri frowned slightly. For some reason, he felt something was about to happen.

Everyone walked outside. The RV was parked not far away, and they hurried toward it.

Suddenly, an infected jumped out from behind the RV. Immediately after, infected poured in from all directions, their numbers ridiculously high.

These infected moved quickly. Most of the crystals on their foreheads were yellow, while some were purple.

They were all low-level and mid-level infected.

Everyone unleashed their abilities to fight them.

Lin Yi and Xu Yue had no abilities, so naturally, they could only be protected in the middle of the group. Facing Huo Jinglin, noticing something wrong from the RV, also got out to join the battle.

Suddenly, Lin Yi felt a wave of threat coming from above. Looking up, he saw an infected jumping down from the roof.

Lin Yi quickly pushed Xu Yue away.

With infected appearing in the middle, they could no longer form a circle around them.

"Little Qiongqi, protect Lin Yi and move toward the RV!"

Ning Chen set up a protective shield for Lin Yi, then unleashed his ability to eliminate the infected around them.

Gradually, the infected split them apart, even separating Little Qiongqi from Lin Yi.

With Ning Chen's protective shield, Lin Yi made his way toward the RV quite easily.

But suddenly, Lin Yi felt his vision go black, and then he knew nothing more.

"Roar!" A fierce roar sounded, and the surrounding infected, as if receiving an order, all retreated backward.

After the infected withdrew, the entire scene looked extremely empty.

"Is everyone okay?"

Ning Chen had been protecting Gu Yanqi the whole time; Gu Yanqi was completely unharmed. Xu Yue was fine too, as she had Xu Ri's protection.

Little Qiongqi flapped its wings and lay beside Ning Chen: "Lin Yi, where is Lin Yi? Just now there were too many of them, and we got separated!"

Ning Chen frowned. Indeed, Lin Yi was gone.

"Lin Yi is missing. Let's look for him quickly!"

Before they could even move, Lin Yi's voice came through: "Here, here! I'm here!"

Lin Yi walked out of the mall and cheerfully joined the group.

"Why were you over there?" Ning Chen asked, frowning.

"What else could be the reason? Just now I was surrounded by those infected, and then, I don't know how, I ended up walking right into them," Lin Yi said, pouting.

"How about we hurry back to the RV? I'm afraid those infected might come back." Xu Yue said fearfully. This was the first time she had seen so many infected appear together.

Ning Chen glanced at Lin Yi. To be honest, Lin Yi gave him a very strange feeling.

But outside was definitely not a good place to talk.

Back in the RV, except for Xiao Han and Ning Chen, everyone else sat down on the sofas.

Ning Chen sat in the passenger seat, his brows never once relaxing.

"What's wrong? You look like you have something on your mind?" Xiao Han handed Ning Chen a can of iced cola and asked, puzzled.

"Mm, don't you think Lin Yi is a bit strange?" Ning Chen cast a covert glance at Lin Yi and spoke up.

Xiao Han raised an eyebrow, glanced at Lin Yi again, and said: "Whatever it is, we'll know once we try."

"Lin Yi, Ning Chen has something he needs to talk to you about."

Hearing Xiao Han's voice, Lin Yi walked over, his face full of confusion: "Brother Ning, you're looking for me?"

Ning Chen and Xiao Han exchanged a quick glance — something really was off.

Normally, when Ning Chen came looking for him, it was Xiao Han who called out, and Lin Yi would have traded a few quips first.

"Mm, there is something. I just wanted to ask you — do you still think about that Miss from that building? You liked her nonstop back then, didn't you? If you want, once we're back we'll go to City F and look for her."

Ning Chen's words left Facing Huo Jinglin and Gu Yanqi, who had overheard, with faces full of questions.
