Chapter 2, Chinese men are easy to get along with
As a qualified surgeon, Nicole naturally does not procrastinate in her work. She understands the meaning behind Jill's words and immediately starts to pack her things, tossing the first aid kit into the back seat. Then she corrects Ye Zhiqiu's statement: "May and June here have the longest daylight hours"
Jill was about to scold her a couple more times when they heard a deafening roar of an engine. Then, the two of them stared in astonishment as Ye Zhiqiu rode out from the street corner on a Harley motorcycle. Although neither of them was familiar with motorcycles, they could tell from the sound of the engine that this motorcycle had an unusually large displacement.
Ye Zhiqiu shrugged and looked at his vehicle, responding: "In my country, motorcycles with such a large displacement are not allowed to be imported, so I chose this one outside Anchorage Airport."
The internet has long been gone said Ye Zhiqiu as she parked the car
Jill glanced at her and had to admit that she was right, but she refused to concede verbally, replying: "You better hope your man doesn't turn into a zombie due to an infected wound"
Jill looked at him: "Are you going to walk with us?"
While she was rummaging through her backpack, she suddenly felt someone beside her. She abruptly looked up and saw Ye Zhiqiu standing next to her, holding a large bag. She let out a breath and said angrily, "Can you stay a little further away from me"
Jill glared at her and angrily said: "Because of him https://m.hetushu.com, I almost lost my life. If he did it on purpose, I should be holding a gun right now, instead of this damned carbohydrate"
Of course! Ye Zhiqiu appeared to take it for granted: "Do you think I should stay here?" As he spoke, he glanced at Nicole, who was still looking at him from the other side of the car: "I think it would be nice for us to keep each other company."
Ye Zhiqiu nodded: "No, I didn't know there were zombies in that place at the time. They must have gone there after hearing the sound I made."
Regardless of what Ye Zhiqiu's past was like, in a world already filled with zombies, none of that matters. Compared to the kind people Jill and her companions have encountered before, none are as brave as Ye Zhiqiu. The brave are not as kind as Ye Zhiqiu, the kind are not as skilled as Ye Zhiqiu, and the skilled... Most of them have used their skills against their own kind.
Jill glared fiercely at Ye Zhiqiu, suppressing the urge to throw the cereal in her hand at his face. Ye Zhiqiu walked past her as if he were unaware, while Nicole stayed behind to persuade her: "He didn't do it on purpose"
Jill stood up with the cereal and asked, "Were there no zombies in the store at that time"
She emptied the contents of Ye Zhiqiu's pocket onto a large piece of tarpaulin and discovered that there was indeed quite a bit of food inside. She picked out a box of cereal and suddenly remembered something, raising her head to shout at Ye Zhiqiu: "Did you take these from that convenience store?"
Jill hesitated for a moment, stood up, and took his bag. Accepting these items also meant accepting Ye Zhiqiu as a person. Unlike Nicole, Jill had witnessed more evils, so she would not easily trust strangers, especially in the current situation where no one would advocate for them; everything had to rely on themselves
Nicole opened the car door, jumped out, and then stood beside the truck waiting for Jill to hand down the tent. When they found this pickup, it was equipped with a complete set of camping gear, clearly indicating that the owner was preparing to go out for the weekend before the disaster occurred. Hearing Ye Zhiqiu's words, she dismissively replied, "I am using the offline version to save data."
This was precisely what Nicole was worried about, so as soon as Ye Zhiqiu finished setting up the tent, she immediately pulled him over to re-examine his wound. Contrary to her expectations, there was no redness or swelling; the wound seemed to be healing. Nicole was taken aback and looked up at Ye Zhiqiu, meeting his gaze. Ye Zhiqiu smiled and explained, "My wounds tend to heal relatively quickly"
Jill glanced at Nicole and said, "She has an electronic map on her phone"
Nicole hesitated for a moment and decided not to give him any more injections. Given the current situation, it would be a complete waste of medication. She glanced at Ye Zhiqiu and muttered, "It's simply inhuman speed"
Ye Zhiqiu surveyed the area and exclaimed, "This is quite a nice campsite. How did you find it?"
Now Jill has decided to take a gamble. Nicole is right; they need a man. Fortunately, there is a man standing right in front of them, and he at least looks decent. If she misjudges him, there will still be an opportunity to rectify it.
Jill nodded, beginning to feel that this Chinese man was not as dull as she had imagined. She glanced at the several bags tied to the motorcycle, speculating about what might be inside them, and said, "Then let's go quickly; at least I don't have to worry about you falling behind."
Jill cursed inwardly as she watched Ye Zhiqiu calmly walk towards the street corner, shouting loudly: "Hurry up, you only have five minutes!" Then, looking at Nicole who was getting into the car, she scolded: "Are you crazy? Haven't you ever seen a man before?"
Watching Gil enter the driver's seat, Ye Zhiqiu tapped on the car door: "Wait for me, my car is over there." He pointed to the corner of the street.
In fact, the town is located more than ten kilometers away from the nearest Highway 1, accessible only by a rural road. Whether in a pickup truck or on a Harley, both vehicles handle the terrain with ease. After driving for half an hour, Jill left the highway and turned onto a path leading to a small library, finally stopping by a mountainside where a small stream flows past the cliff.
Ye Zhiqiu was helping Nicole unload the dishes from the car when he heard Jill's question and readily admitted, "Yes, I arrived ahead of you all."
Jill jumped down from the car, clapped her hands, and watched Ye Zhiqiu's skilled movements in silence. Nicole stood beside her and softly said, "This is the advantage of having a man."
Jill took the bag, reached inside, felt around for a moment, and then pulled out a can of luncheon meat.
"Excellent quality," Ye Zhiqiu commented, while pushing Nicole aside, taking the tent handed down by Jill, and moving it to the edge of the creek to begin setting it up
Ye Zhiqiu is quite innocent; he is currently at least two meters away from Jill. If he moves any further, he will have to shout to communicate. He shook the bag in his hand and said, "Are you looking for food? I still have some here."
"He doesn't seem like a bad person." Nicole shrugged and said, "I've heard from friends that Chinese men are usually easy to get along with, and..." She laughed, "He's quite strong!"
Ye Zhiqiu elegantly made a turn and parked alongside the pickup truck, smiling at Jill and saying, "Not even five minutes."
Jill did not pay attention to their actions. While Ye Zhiqiu was packing the tent, she gathered some branches and dry grass, and lit a bonfire. The weather had been relatively dry during this period, and with gasoline on hand, it was quite easy to start a fire. She then returned to the car, hoping to find something to eat with the book. She remembered that there was hardly anything to eat yesterday, and today they spent the entire day just to find that convenience store, yet they did not bring back much food. Fortunately, she had not discarded her backpack at that time, which still contained some cookies she had found in the convenience store.
"That is a habit of you Asians." Gil was well aware that Nicole was right, yet Ye Zhiqiu had no idea that they would go to the convenience store behind him. Moreover, he had later saved her, but he still felt displeased and indignantly said: "In the current situation, we should consume some high-calorie food"
Ye Zhiqiu looked at her, nodded, set down the pot, and quickly walked to the motorcycle. He unfastened another bag and handed it to her, saying, "I apologize, I didn't know you wanted to eat this"
My goodness, Jill exclaimed, "Is this your car?"
Jill turned to look at Nicole, but could only see her chest, hearing Nicole's voice come from above her head: "We are waiting for you"
Ye Zhiqiu let out a sound and looked up at the position of the sun: "The daylight hours in Alaska during May are quite short"
Ye Zhiqiu was separating a stack of dining pots with a clatter when she heard her words and immediately laughed: "I thought girls like you should enjoy carbohydrates"
Jill looked up at the sky and tapped the side of the pickup truck: "Regardless of why the FBI is looking for you, we should leave here; the sun is about to set."
