Rebirth: Exclusive Love in the End of the World-Chapter 62 - New Journey

As if their minds were in sync, Han Yi slowly opened his eyes, his gaze gradually becoming clear, and a doting smile graced his lips.

“Brother, good morning,” her voice was sweet and enticing.

Han Yi leaned in to nibble on her ear, murmuring lowly, “Baby, brother had a very good time last night.”

There he went again, saying those explicit things.

A brother so different from the one in her previous life. So wicked, so bad… particularly in that regard, it was really…

Han Jiaojiao was quite embarrassed and annoyed, biting his neck and collarbone in retaliation, prompting a series of low chuckles from him.

He really was a bad person!

The two of them cuddled in bed for a while longer, then got up to wash and freshen up.

A piece of good news brightened the new day—Xiao Jian’s condition had begun to improve, and he had awakened an Enhanced Speed Ability, which was part of the Enhancement Type.

Everyone was happy for Xiao Jian. However, just like Yan Xiao’s initial condition, since he had been asleep for a long period while awakening his Ability, he had hardly eaten, and his bodily functions had become somewhat weak. Fortunately, no one was in a hurry, and since the supplies were not yet organized, they decided to leave two days later, giving Xiao Jian time to recuperate.

Busyness sped up time, and before they knew it, the day of departure had arrived.

Han Yi did just as he said, packing all the furniture from the villa into his space. Bai Kairui was seeing Han Yi use his space manipulation for the first time, and he stood there stupefied, staring blankly at the spiraling vortex of the space, even somewhat apprehensively asking Yan Xiao, “What happens if Han senior accidentally sucks us in too…”

This was indeed a problem, and Yan Xiao began to seriously ponder it.

Coolly, Xiao Jian remarked, “We’d probably explode, it’s a vacuum in there.”

Bai Kairui and Yan Xiao both showed expressions of horror.

Almost everything in the villa had been cleared out by Han Yi, truly not even leaving the curtains behind. Han Jiaojiao even had the feeling: if the villa wasn’t attached to the foundation, perhaps her brother would’ve just taken the whole house with them, right?

Lu Changyuan casually remarked, “Had I known, I would’ve prepared a few prefabricated houses.”

It seemed someone else had the same idea as hers. Han Jiaojiao asked him, “What’s a prefabricated house?”

“It’s those houses you often see at construction sites, mostly blue, with steel and wood structures, which can be disassembled and transported easily.”

“Oh…” With that description, she remembered those houses. Beicheng Base had many of them, about two stories high and quite sturdy looking. However, she had never lived in one; in her previous life, she and her brother lived in a standard residential building, and later when she joined the Special Training Team, the dormitory consisted of many connecting tube buildings, with a long corridor linking many single rooms.

While they chatted, Han Yi had finished packing, leaving only a few cardboard boxes on the ground, meant to be put into the car. They contained daily necessities such as food, water, gasoline, tents, sleeping bags, and the like. This was to avoid frequently opening the spatial Ability and attracting attention. Plus, if they encountered other survivors on the road, it would be suspicious if their car had no supplies at all.

However, with the increase in items, the HUMVEE was no longer spacious enough. After all, there were six of them, and previously Bai Kairui had been stuffed into the back of the vehicle, but now that space was needed for supplies.

There was another seven-seater family station wagon in the villa’s garage, purchased by Han Yi’s father for family trips. It was perfect for the pre-apocalyptic world, but was a bit too fragile for the apocalyptic one. The group found themselves in a dilemma.

In the end, Lu Changyuan suggested using the seven-seater station wagon. His reason was succinct: “Low profile.”

The HUMVEE was too eye-catching, and the last time they had driven it, it attracted the attention of some thugs looking to rob them. And surely, the journey ahead wouldn’t be peaceful. However, since this was a matter of life and death, Han Yi respectfully asked everyone else’s opinion.

Bai Kairui, not wanting to be crammed in the back again, was the first to raise his hand in agreement. Yan Xiao didn’t mind either way. Xiao Jian also preferred the station wagon, since the HUMVEE was quite a gas guzzler.

As for Han Jiaojiao, she was the epitome of brother-complex: whatever her brother said was right, so why bother making her own decisions? Yan Xiao couldn’t help but tease her from the side, “Why don’t you have your own opinion? Be careful or no one will love you. Women in the new era need to be independent and self-sufficient, you understand?”

Han Jiaojiao got a bit unhappy when she heard that, because Su Xue had said something similar to her before, albeit not in those exact words, but implying that she was incapable and only relied on her brother. Of course, Han Jiaojiao wouldn’t get mad at Yan Xiao, knowing he was just teasing her, so she responded cheerfully, “I quite like it. Whatever my brother says is definitely right, I just listen to him and save myself the trouble of thinking. Besides, haven’t you heard the saying? In the mountains, you see vines wrapping around trees, but never trees wrapping around vines. If the vine doesn’t wrap around the tree, it would waste spring after spring…” She even started singing the last part.

Her voice was naturally coquettish, and quite pleasing to the ear when she sang, even if the song was quite old-fashioned, prompting laughter from everyone. Yan Xiao laughed so hard tears nearly came out, exclaiming, “I give up, you win! Clinging to Han as your tree isn’t an easy task, haha…”

Jokes aside, Han Jiaojiao still felt a bit uneasy. She ran over to Han Yi and clung to his arm, seeking reassurance with a pout, “Brother, if I’m always so indecisive, won’t you find me bothersome in the future?”

Han Yi looked at her and laughed, “I’ve always looked after you, don’t you find that annoying?”

“Not at all,” she shook her head.

“Then I don’t find you bothersome either.”

Pleased and slightly embarrassed by his response, Han Jiaojiao murmured, “Then the two of us are a perfect match, right?”

Before Han Yi could answer, Yan Xiao burst into laughter again, and Han Jiaojiao immediately knew he had overheard her words! She was livid! — How dare he! She had spoken so softly!

“Yan Xiao! You’re too annoying!!”

“Hahaha… My dear little auntie! I’m sorry! Hahaha… my stomach hurts… Lu, save me…”

The laughter lightened everyone’s spirits, dispelling the slight unease they felt about the upcoming journey.

Under the blazing sun, a dark gray station wagon sped down the mountain road.
