Bai Yifan was enveloped in a faint yellow glow as he took large strides towards the inside of the disused factory.
Wrapped in the Gold Ability, he could slightly boost his courage.
The factory was silent, and Bai Yifan’s pace quickened.
He was giving himself a ntal pep talk.
No need to be afraid; they’re all human, he was just here to deliver a ssage.
Fan Tangtang’s big brother surely wouldn’t eat him, right?
Soon, Bai Yifan arrived in front of a door.
"Bang bang bang!"
Bai Yifan knocked on the door.
The sound of the knocking echoed in the empty factory, and Bai Yifan’s glow sparkled a little more brightly.
The factory remained silent, with no response.
Bai Yifan frowned slightly and knocked again.
Still no reaction.
"Brother Fan! Fan Tangtang has been captured, I’m his friend, here to deliver the news!" Bai Yifan went all out.
His loud voice bood through the empty factory.
The empty factory still didn’t respond, and his voice echoed in his ears.
"Could they have gone out to find the kids?"
Bai Yifan scratched his head, then looked up to see a window nearby.
Bai Yifan spun around in place, searched for a while, and finally found a few abandoned stools.
The stools were pitch black and looked very old, covered in a layer of gri.
Bai Yifan stacked the stools together and climbed up against the wall.
The stools wobbled, as if they would collapse at any mont.
Bai Yifan cautiously stood up, barely managing to stand straight by the wall, tiptoeing to peer inside.
Quite surprising.
Empty.
Nothing there.
Bai Yifan nimbly climbed down, using the stools to check one factory room after another.
All were empty, not to ntion people, there wasn’t even a trace of any household items.
It was as if no one had ever lived there.
Bai Yifan was slightly puzzled; Fan Tangtang had clearly said he lived here with his grandfather.
Bai Yifan scratched his head vigorously, trying to understand why it was so empty here.
Not even any trash.
Bai Yifan shook his head slightly, using his fingers to push his bangs back.
It seed he could only rely on himself to rescue Fan Tangtang.
Sailor Moon, had to make a coback.
Villains, face justice!
Bai Yifan took a step towards the outside, clenching his fists at his waist, ready to make a dash for it.
"Xiao Fan, what are you doing here?"
Zhang Yiming sat on a cool motorcycle, looking at Bai Yifan in surprise.
Zhang Yiming was on the other side of the road near the disused factory, appearing to simply be passing by.
"I ca to find Fan Tangtang’s big brother, I have sothing important to tell him." Bai Yifan jogged across the road, his eyes glowing slightly, "Brother Zhang, do you know Brother Fan? Can you take to see him?"
The last ti when Tangtang was sent over, Zhang Yiming ntioned that Fan Tangtang’s big brother could crush a Crystal Core with his bare hands.
He must be quite familiar with him.
"Yes, I do. What’s the matter? You can tell first, and I’ll let Tangtang’s big brother know later."
Zhang Yiming’s voice was gentle.
His long legs supported the ground as he turned to open the motorcycle’s trunk, taking out two cans of milk powder, and handed them to Bai Yifan.
These two cans of milk powder were top-notch, even before the apocalypse, Bai Yifan’s ten years of pocket money wouldn’t be enough to buy one can.
"Thank you, Brother Zhang!" Bai Yifan’s eyes shone brightly, taking the milk powder cans with both hands, answering Zhang Yiming’s earlier question on his own, "I ca to tell Brother Fan, Fan Tangtang has been captured."
"Captured by whom?"
Zhang Yiming’s face still held a gentle smile, showing no emotional fluctuation.
"That bad woman in the base, nad Zhao Mimi."
Bai Yifan grinned as he looked at the milk powder in his hands, clearly seeing Zhang Yiming as his real brother.
"Alright, I understand." Zhang Yiming chuckled softly, "Co on, it’s too dangerous for you to be out here alone, I’ll take you back."
Bai Yifan hugged the milk powder, nodding happily, "Sure! But you must rember to tell Brother Fan, Tangtang’s waiting to be rescued!"
"Don’t worry, his big brother will definitely go save him today." Zhang Yiming’s mouth curled into a smile, signaling Bai Yifan to get on the motorcycle.
Bai Yifan stood still, eyes shining as he looked at the motorcycle.
"Hey, Brother Ming, can I ride the motorcycle for a bit?"
Bai Yifan had been drooling over the cool motorcycle for a long ti.
Zhang Yiming looked at Bai Yifan for a long while, then said, "You’re not of legal age, right!"
Minors aren’t allowed to ride motorcycles, after all.
"No problem! I usually drive our family’s bus, my dad and sister all trust my skills!" Bai Yifan said confidently.
Though he hadn’t driven a motorcycle before, he had seen Zhang Yiming do it before, it should follow the sa procedure.
Just floor the gas pedal.
The Gold Ability was just this bold.
Zhang Yiming hesitated a little.
If anything happened to Bai Yifan, his sister would kill him.
"Relax, everything will be fine."
Bai Yifan was trying to squeeze onto the motorcycle with a grin.
Zhang Yiming silently took out a helt from the trunk and put it on Bai Yifan’s head, sliding back a bit to make room.
Bai Yifan excitedly stuffed the milk powder back into Zhang Yiming’s arms and emphasized once more.
"Rember to give it back to when we get back to the base!"
Zhang Yiming: ...
The motorcycle emitted a soft roar, and Zhang Yiming glanced at Bai Yifan’s excited face, holding the milk powder in one hand, and clenching the rear seat of the motorcycle with the other.
He wished he had prepared another helt.
With a buzz.
The motorcycle shot like a bullet towards the safety base.
The trees on both sides flashed by, the wind whipping at Zhang Yiming’s face, his hair tossed around wildly.
Almost blown into a bald spot.
Zhang Yiming squinted his eyes slightly against the wind, gripping the backseat tightly and muttering under his breath.
"Stay calm, slow down, look ahead, don’t go in an S pattern..."
"Got it!"
Bai Yifan responded but didn’t change anything.
Zhang Yiming: ...
"Brother Zhang, what kind of girls do you like? I can introduce you to so!" Bai Yifan chuckled, looking straight ahead, having a very good impression of Zhang Yiming.
Especially after receiving those two cans of milk powder, they touched his heart.
Bai Yifan didn’t notice the montary dimming in Zhang Yiming’s eyes in the backseat.
"...I don’t like any kind." Zhang Yiming pressed his thin lips slightly, his voice sowhat vacant.
The heart is unattainable.
And so, he kept his feelings in check, to avoid causing her unnecessary trouble.
Just knowing she was sowhere, living free and easy, that was enough.
"Huh?" Bai Yifan was slightly surprised.
Brother Zhang was quite handso, how could he not like girls!
But it didn’t matter.
Bai Yifan was open-minded, moreover, Zhang Yiming had given him such expensive milk powder...
"Brother Zhang, then what kind of boys do you like? I can introduce you too." Bai Yifan said earnestly.
Zhang Yiming: ???
Zhang Yiming didn’t respond to Bai Yifan, not because the latter hit a nerve, but because he was amazed by Bai Yifan’s unorthodox way of thinking.
Bai Yifan’s train of thought was clearly different from ordinary people.
He thought he had guessed Zhang Yiming’s little secret.
"Ahem, what do you think about Brother Leng?"
Bai Yifan coughed lightly, turning to glance at Zhang Yiming.
Zhang Yiming remained silent.
But Bai Yifan caught a clear look of disdain on Zhang Yiming’s face.
Evidently, Zhang Yiming held no interest in Leng Yebai.
