Chapter 48
Hello everyone!!!
This week I had some spare time so I decided to be a bit adventurous and translate 3 chapters ~^.^~
So here’s ch 48-50 😛
PS: The ** are part of the author’s original text.
That evening, just as darkness fell, the sounds of blood-curdling screams followed by the sound of gunshots and of people running around could be heard everywhere in the community. This chaos went on until around midnight before the situation slightly improved.
Hearing the sounds outside, Bai Jing lost his mood for sleeping. Instead, he simply went into his dimension and started wandering around, looking at the fertile medicine field, the fruits on the trees that were ready for harvest and the luxurious and comfortable villa. After seeing this, his mood instantly improved. He then went into the villa and took a comfortable bath before exiting his dimension and returning to his room.
Once inside his room, he neatly packed everything into his dimension, before giving the room a once over to see if he had missed anything. Since it was almost morning, he decided to go to the living room for a while and wait for everyone to wake up. He intended to leave this place as soon as daybreak came.
Bai Jing found himself sneering the moment he reached the living room; he hadn’t expected to find anyone else awake at this time.
He saw Li Yi carrying his son in his arms, spinning him around as Li Meng giggled non-stop. There were also a few other people around them who were holding some items in their hands while excitedly speaking to Li Meng. Bai Jing noticed that some people were holding cigars and bottles of wine, their eyes shining brightly as they said: “This, this, and also this.”
“What are you doing?” Bai Jing raised an eyebrow as he asked. If he wasn’t mistaken, those cigars and alcohol were all owned by him.
“Hehe” Liu Wei laughed to cover his embarrassment as he hid the cigars behind his back.
Bai Jing simply looked away from him. Didn’t he know the saying that the more you try to cover up your actions the more obvious they become?
Li Yi smiled so proudly that if he had a tail it would also be proudly lifted up in the air. He held his son in his arms as he flaunted: “Little Meng has awakened his powers.”
“Oh?” This was actually very good news. “What kind of power?” Bai Jing was also very delighted to hear this. Now that Li Meng has awakened his powers, his chances of survival in the future were even secure.
“A hidden dimension that can store many things.” Li Yi said with a smile and eyes that were brimming with joy.
Bai Jing’s heart ached. In fact, he would have preferred that little Meng develop an attack type power, like this, if he ever encountered zombies he would be able to sufficiently protect himself. In its early stages, the hidden dimension ability was more like an attractive but not very useful power. However, it should be said that to be able to awaken a power was still a positive thing. Plus, he couldn’t put down the child’s enthusiasm, so Bai Jing asked: “How much space does it have?”
“It’s like a small room.” Li Meng said, a blush painting his small face and his big eyes flickering with a hint of shyness and expectation as he eagerly waited for Bai Jing’s praise.
“Not bad, little Meng is actually very powerful. Therefore, today I’m going to give you a very important mission, are you ready?” Bai Jing asked as he smiled gently at the boy. When it was all said and done, little Meng was still a child so all his feelings were clearly written on his face.
“Yes!” Little Meng clenched his fists and nodded his head firmly.
Li Yi rubbed his son’s head and then explained: “There’s about ten square meters.” Little Meng was only eight years old this year, so he still didn’t know how to calculate square meters. Li Yi was only able to guess the size of the dimension based on little Meng’s random descriptions.
Bai Jing was actually quite impressed. Compared to other children little Meng was actually able to develop his abilities, and on top of that, the dimension was ten square meter which was a very good size. He pointed around the house and said: “Teach him how to classify the things that go into the dimension. Today the task of collecting the supplies in the house will be left to little Meng, show him how to choose between what is necessary to take along and what is not.”
Little Meng was very pleased. He slightly raised his chest and lifted his small face as he thought that he was now an adult, and could also help his dad and everyone else. He was very happy about this.
Li Yi heard the orders, took hold of his child and immediately got to work. The others also heard Bai Jing’s words and so they quickly grabbed more cigars and alcohol then hurriedly said: “By all means, you mustn’t leave these behind.”
Bai Jing found them to be so ridiculous that he didn’t even bother correcting them. Instead, he lay on the sofa and closed his eye preparing to rest a little bit. However, even before he could do that, Xiao Sa opened the door and walked into the room, his eyes looking exhausted.
Bai Jing frowned lightly. Hadn’t Xiao Sa been resting?
“Good morning, Elder brother.” The people in the room all stood up and called out in greeting.
Xiao Sa nodded then sat next to Bai Jing and opened a map in his hands. He said in a serious voice: “Yesterday I researched online and found that here and here, these several highways are a no go, and here, this city is also a no go. The virus outbreak is too serious in those places. I’ve already memorized this route, the rest of you should also carefully read and memorize the route, and then suggest if there’s anything else that needs to be added.”
“Hehe, there’s no such thing as us adding our opinions. Elder brother is the one who has the final say.” Liu Wei rubbed his head abashedly as he said this. They were only a bunch of rough and uncultured men, how would they ever be able to understand such complicated matters. The rest of the men in the room also did not disagree with Liu Wei’s words.
Bai Jing’s heart complained since he was a little worried about the fact that Xiao Sa hadn’t slept for several days, let alone counting the time when he was searching for Bai Jing. He had also heard that Xiao Sa hadn’t slept for several days and nights back then.
Taking note of Bai Jing’s gaze, Xiao Sa smiled gently and said: “I’m fine, I can also rest in the car.”
Bai Jing remained silent and only nodded his head in response. After a while, one after another, the rest of the men also woke up.
After a few days of being around each other, everyone had already gotten used to the shocking sight of Xiao Sa smiling. Now they only praised Bai Jing’s immense abilities, which were even capable of melting the iceberg.
After hurriedly eating breakfast, Li Meng packed up the items in the house that they’d be taking along with them, and then Bai Jing announced their departure.
As soon as the door was opened, they were immediately hit by the cold air from the outside. The temperature had dropped even more since yesterday. Everyone’s heart sank. According to the current weather, it’s possible that after a few days there really would be a snowstorm in June.
Bai Jing took Xiao Sa’s hand and headed straight to the RV.
Since everyone has their own strengths, it’s better to not compare yourself with others lest you should increase your insecurities. Xiao Sa’s brothers were currently feeling very jealous, but they couldn’t help themselves. Bai Jing came from a wealthy and powerful family, he had cars, he had bodyguards and on top of all that, he also had a lot of supplies. Even the thick winter clothes they were wearing were all provided for by Bai Jing. Who could be able to resist being envious in the face of all this fortune ah? Bai Jing was really worthy of being called a young master, even his escape from D City was done in a lavish style.
The once splendid and magnificent homes in the community could now only be described as bleak and desolate. Soldiers patrolled the area and so everywhere you looked you’d see new faces. Each one of these faces had a somber expression on them, causing the atmosphere to fill with a faint air of grief and sorrow.
Outside the community’s gate, there were still piles of corpses that had not yet been taken care of. Everyone says that real men don’t cry, but as Bai Jing watched a group of men standing beside the bodies and bawling their eyes out, he felt an inexplicable pain also well up in his heart.
Actually, the soldiers were really cute. How they ignored their superiors’ power struggles and courageously fought to defend their homeland. However, what they probably didn’t know was that once all the people in the community evacuated, they would be the only fodder left. This was also the case during his last life. He remembered that at that time he was also part of the group of people evacuating from the community. Back then, had ever stopped to consider the fates of these soldiers?
“Stop the car.” Bai Jing thought for a moment before slowly opening the door and walking over to the group of crying men. He took out his house key card from his pocket and then took out a piece of paper where he wrote down the password to the house security system.
“This is for you. Feel free to occupy and take anything that is in my house, no one will dare requisition it again. As for me, I’m leaving. If in the future you feel like you can’t survive, then you can come to find me in L Province.”
Once he was done speaking and handing everything over to the soldiers, he immediately walked away. Just now, he had clearly seen that one of the bodies piled up on the ground was of the young soldier who had blocked his entry at the gate yesterday.
after getting back in the RV, all the vehicles immediately rushed off without making any more stops, only leaving a flurry of dust behind them. Bai Jing sighed as he watched the homes getting farther and farther away. He suddenly remembered his past life and how he’d cried when it was time for him to leave D city. At that time, he was also surrounded by his bodyguards as well as a military escort. It was a very prestigious event, making him feel very proud. Even the mayor came over and tried to suck up to him, hoping that Bai Jing would take him along…
“What’s wrong?” Xiao Sa was not happy. He held tightly to Bai Jing’s waist as he pulled him into his arms. Of late he felt that little Jing tended to zone out more and more.
“It’s nothing. I was just reminiscing a little bit.” Bai Jing smiled lightly. He really liked Xiao Sa’s keenness.
“Don’t worry, I’ll protect you. And very soon in the future, we’ll find a place to settle down and build our home there.”
“Yes,” Bai Jing turned his head and looked at Xiao Sa, sizing him up intently. He realized that in this life, Xiao Sa would often speak love words to him. Bai Jing couldn’t help being moved by this and really wanted to kiss him.
He told himself that he should just do it, and so he simply reached up and kissed him. Not on his cheeks or his forehead but on his mouth. Xiao Sa only felt that he was about to be overwhelmed by this pleasant surprise; this was the first time that Bai Jing had taken the initiative to kiss him.
Their lips and tongues intertwined together. So sweet. Little Jing was just as delicious as he had imagined. Xiao Sa couldn’t bear to let go, he wanted more.
“Ahem!” There would always be someone who throws a wet blanket on other people’s fun. Wang Xuebing snorted coldly as he glared at Xiao Sa like a mother in law who’s daughter had just been stolen.
Yu Yue had sensed this would happen, so he had already hidden behind the driver’s seat, pretending to give directions. Qin Hao was a shy child so his entire face flushed red and he was at loss over what he should do. Only Xu Lei had been shamelessly watching with great interest, her eyes lit up with glee. So when Wang Xuebing forcefully ruined the show for her, she grumbled that he was stingy.
Wang Xuebing was too angry to respond to this woman’s comment. He only grieved and lamented over his young master. How could he have so easily allowed Xiao Sa to lead him astray…
The martial law in D city was very difficult to deal with today, which was completely different from yesterday. Yesterday, a few pedestrians and vehicles could still be seen on the road. However, today, other than the patrolling soldiers, even the shadows of people couldn’t be seen.
When they reached the exit of D City, they found that the road was once again blockaded by the military and that the soldiers were now dressed as if they were ready to go to war at any moment. All vehicles and pedestrians were only allowed to leave, none were allowed to enter. If anyone dared to cause trouble, they would be dealt with in the harshest manner.
Those leaving the City had an easy time because they only need to register their vehicle numbers, therefore the group left without encountering any complications. Since there were very few zombies during the day, everyone was motivated to rush through their journey. Moreover, with Li Meng dimension, Bai Jing had it a lot easier since he now didn’t have to constantly worry about feeding everyone. When they reached the highway, he lay down on ** and immediately went to sleep. Xiao Sa also fell asleep beside him.
Wang Xuebing sighed quietly and covered them with a blanket. Even if he didn’t want to accept this in his heart, but just seeing them like this, he had to admit that his young master was definitely already married off.
The two people slept very well and didn’t wake up until later in the afternoon, and although they slept on a small bed, they hadn’t felt crowded. At first, when Xiao Sa opened his eyes, his emotions were a bit tense because he couldn’t believe that he had fallen asleep when they were fac
