Xu Qi raised his wrist. There was a smart wristband attached to it. Because there was a corresponding charger in the car, the wristband was still working.
"Ding… Crystal Core has been embedded. Currently, the bracelet has a storage function of two cubic meters. You only need to chant in your heart to open a special space."
Soon, the system immediately embedded the special crystal core into the bracelet. Xu Qi felt that the texture of the bracelet had become smoother and there was a hint of coldness.
As expected of the system!
Xu Qi praised Noah in his heart. Then he turned to Tang Wanqiu, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, and said, "It's too late now. Let's find a place to rest first. How about we go to the hospital tomorrow morning?"
Tang Wanqiu felt that she was in a daze just now. She only came back to her senses after Xu Qi spoke. She just thought that she was a little tired and didn't mind his suggestion.
"Sure. It's almost three o'clock. Let's find a place to rest first."
Xu Qi immediately nodded when he heard that. Then he drove into a small alley nearby and turned off the engine. After adjusting the car's operating mode to hibernation, he immediately went to the bedroom with Tang Wanqiu.
As he had expected, Tang Wanqiu didn't see all the interactions between him and the system, including the information that Noah had used the scanning function to simultaneously project onto the display screen.
These should be the work of the system. It had actively blocked everything related to the system.
Realizing that Tang Wanqiu didn't have any special reaction, Xu Qi immediately felt relieved. It seemed that the fact that he had the system wouldn't be exposed because of his slip of the tongue.
"Rest early…"
Tang Wanqiu turned off the bedroom light and lay on the bed.
Xu Qi looked at Tang Wanqiu's cute appearance on the bed and his heart beat faster. However, he still pretended to be nonchalant and got into bed. He slowly closed his eyes to calm himself down.
Perhaps because he was too tired, he fell into a deep sleep less than three minutes after lying in bed.
From the time he was on the main road until now, he had been fighting for more than 10 hours. Even though his physique had been strengthened a few times, it was still difficult for him to handle such high-intensity battles. At this moment, once he relaxed, the fatigue in his body immediately swept over him like a tide.
Only Xu Qi's faint snores were left in the quiet bedroom. Tang Wanqiu lay on her side and looked at the person beside her pillow with mixed feelings.
When she was at the hypermarket previously, she did not expect the situation outside to worsen to such an extent.
She still had hope that her sister was alive, but before they arrived at the city center, they saw thousands of zombies, not to mention she was working at the hospital with the most serious zombie outbreak.
Could her sister really have survived that?
Sighing softly, Tang Wanqiu slowly closed her eyes. She would try her best not to think about the bad things. She pushed aside various distracting thoughts in her mind.
After all, her current situation was already safer and more comfortable than most of the survivors in Qingzhou City.
She had a secure MCV, 24-hour hot water supply, and all kinds of food.
As she thought about it, Tang Wanqiu's head became blurry and she fell asleep not long after.
A silver moon with a missing corner hung high in the dark sky.
The starry sky made the night sky very beautiful, but the land illuminated by the night light was filled with broken limbs, grayish-brown blood, and zombies that were limping and rotting.
The next morning.
Xu Qi was woken up by the biological clock in his body. He looked around and realized that Tang Wanqiu had already left the bedroom.
He sat up in bed and casually put on his jacket. He looked out the window and saw that there were no zombies in the alley. Noah had not sent him any notice last night. It seemed that yesterday was a relatively quiet night.
After leaving the bedroom, Xu Qi heard the sound of a spatula in the kitchen not far away.
Xu Qi opened the kitchen door and immediately smelled a fragrance. He saw Tang Wanqiu wearing a short-sleeved checkered dress and cooking in front of the kitchen counter.
"Wow, it smells so good."
Xu Qi smacked his lips, feeling like the glutton.
Ever since the zombie outbreak, he had been eating fast food and semi-finished braised food every day. He was a little tired of those food.
"You're awake. Wait for a while. The dishes will be ready soon."
Tang Wanqiu poured the cut cured meat into the pot and said to Xu Qi with a smile.
Xu Qi immediately swallowed his saliva. He could only close the kitchen door reluctantly and return to the driver's seat.
"Good morning, Master. Noah's smart system has taken over the MCV for six hours. No abnormalities have been found."
Xu Qi sat in the driver's seat. At this moment, the display screen at the side immediately lit up, and Noah's report was quickly displayed.
Have I only slept for six hours?
Xu Qi was a little surprised. He was so tired last night that he didn't even want to talk.
He didn't expect to feel so energetic after sleeping for only six hours. He felt like he could kill two mutated zombies.
[The host has already used the Physique Enhancement Potion twice. You only need to sleep for five hours a day to recover all your strength.]
The question in Xu Qi's heart did not last long. Soon the system gave a corresponding answer.
"Come out and eat when you're ready."
At this moment, there was a knock on the driver's door, followed by Tang Wanqiu's voice.
Xu Qi immediately opened the driver's room door and went to the reception area.
At this moment, two steaming dishes were placed on the coffee table in the reception area. There were also two bowls filled with rice.
One was stir-fried bacon with green peppers, and the other was scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
The fragrance of the two dishes assaulted his nose, making Xu Qi salivate.
"As expected of you. Your craftsmanship is no less than it was back then."
Xu Qi picked up a piece of bacon and stuffed it into his mouth without hesitation.
The fragrance of meat, accompanied by the juice of fat, immediately satisfied him.
Tang Wanqiu rolled her eyes at him and said aggrievedly, "Don't flatter me. If my cooking is really that good, why did you lose contact with me without saying anything?"
Xu Qi did not know how to respond to her words.
He immediately changed the topic and said, "Ahem, this scrambled egg tastes very good. Hurry up and eat. We still have to save your sister later."
At the mention of her sister, Tang Wanqiu felt inexplicably nervous.
She was afraid that when they went to the hospital, she wouldn't be able to find her sister. At the same time, she was afraid that she would see her sister turn into a zombie in the hospital.
In her frustration, she lost the mood to chat and only lowered her head to eat.
Xu Qi felt that his words were inappropriate and immediately whispered, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said this. But I still have to thank you for making me such a delicious meal."
