47: I want to hold him like this forever.

An Qian's mother looked at her daughter, then raised her head and asked, "Where are you going?"

Qin Shilei explained, "Zhang Xiaoli's home is in Tongquan City, Laishan Province. We're continuing west to find her parents."

"Oh, I see." He Yiyao paused, then suddenly asked, "Shi Lei, are you two a couple?"

Zhang Xiaoli immediately turned to look at Qin Shilei, and An Qian also listened intently.

"Haha."

Qin Shilei rubbed the back of his head and joked, "I also wish I had such a beautiful girlfriend, but unfortunately, I don't."

He paused, then said solemnly, "We are teammates who share life and death."

From the look in Zhang Xiaoli's eyes, Qin Shilei also sensed that hint of affection.

However, the silhouette deep in his mind still surfaced from time to time, making him unwilling to enter a new relationship so quickly.

After hearing Qin Shilei's answer, a hint of light appeared in An Qian's eyes, and a touch of secret joy filled her heart.

Zhang Xiaoli, however, became disheartened. She stood up and forced a smile, "I'll go make something to eat as our farewell feast."

"Okay, make two more dishes."

Qin Shilei then added, "An Qian, try to stay as far away from Tang Haotian's Apocalypse Home as possible. We killed Tang Haotian's aunt and cousin, so they definitely won't let this go."

"Mm." An Qian answered distractedly.

Qin Shilei wanted to say a few more words to emphasize its importance, but then he thought that An Qian wasn't someone who would disregard important matters.

So he changed his mind and said, "An Qian, can you show me the way? We're going to find Zhang Qiang and have him help me buy some bows and arrows."

An Qian looked up and asked, "Now?"

Qin Shilei nodded, "Yes, now. We'll be back just in time for lunch, and then Zhang Xiaoli and I will set off."

Then he called out to Zhang Xiaoli, who was busy in the kitchen, "Zhang Xiaoli, An Qian and I are going to buy some bows and arrows. Please look after Auntie."

"Okay, you two be careful." Zhang Xiaoli replied, then continued to chop vegetables.

Qin Shilei took out two pairs of sunglasses and two sun hats. After putting them on, he opened the door and walked out.

An Qing pointed to the east, "Just keep going straight along Dongfeng Road. I'll tell you when you need to turn."

"Okay." Qin Shilei twisted the throttle, and the Thunder Dragon shot out like a roaring white dragon. "Hold on tight."

An Qing originally had her hands on the seat, sitting steadily. Hearing Qin Shilei say that, her body slowly leaned forward, and at the same time, she put her hands out in front, half-raised, hesitating whether to hug him.

"Just let me hug him properly."

An Qing kept cheering herself on in her heart. Then she closed her eyes and gently leaned on his back, her hands tightly embracing the man who was about to leave.

Feeling the softness on his back, Qin Shilei's muscles instantly tensed up, then slowly relaxed.

He thought for a moment and reduced the speed of the Thunder Dragon by a few points.

Smelling the faint scent of sweat on him, feeling the gentle breeze, and listening to the sound of his heart beating, An Qian only wished this journey had no end.

She hoped she could just keep hugging his waist, letting him carry her on and on, until the end of time.

But why did this damned wind blur her eyes with tears again?

Would Qin Shilei laugh at her for getting his clothes wet?

Qin Shilei drove aimlessly, and An Qian also forgot to give him directions.

Half an hour later.

"Um, are we far from Zhang Qiang's place now?"

Qin Shilei really had to ask, "I'm afraid if we keep driving like this, Zhang Xiaoli and the others will come looking for us."

"Uh."

An Qian looked up, glanced around, and then pointed to the right, saying, "Turn right at the next intersection, and you'll be there in about ten minutes."

This time, she dared not lean her head on his back again, but her hands still embraced Qin Shilei's waist until they saw Zhang Qiang and the others.

Zhang Qiang saw Qin Shilei's motorcycle from afar and ran all the way over, "Brother Qin, why are you here?"

Xie Haimei also pointed to several bundles of bows and arrows on the vehicle and said, "We were just about to send them to you."

"These are three hundred arrows, right? You're truly thoughtful."

Qin Shilei waved his hand, putting away the arrows, then said, "I also want to buy some supplies. Do you know where I can get them?"

"Then come with me. I happen to know a black market; that's where I bought the bows and arrows."

Zhang Qiang got into the car first. Qin Shilei also put away the Thunder Dragon and sat in the back seat. An Qian stomped her foot and had no choice but to get into the car.

After many twists and turns, they arrived at an abandoned factory building.

"This is a trading point set up by Dark Moon. As long as you have enough supplies or crystals, they can get you anything you want."

Zhang Qiang explained as he walked inside.

"Anything? Do they have Bloodline Awakening Pills or skill books?"

Qin Shilei's eyes lit up as he asked.

"Uh." Zhang Qiang said awkwardly, "Those good things are all for their own use. If you have those, he can get you modern weapons like armored vehicles or grenade launchers."

He paused, then added, "Today we found that the power of firearms has decreased a bit. Pistols have little power beyond thirty meters. If you have crystals, I suggest you don't exchange too many modern weapons."

Qin Shilei nodded, indicating he understood.

Actually, he had no crystals left now and only planned to exchange some daily necessities for things.

Zhang Qiang quickly led Qin Shilei and the others to a short, stout middle-aged man.

"Boss Jin, my brother here wants to buy some things from you. You have to give him a good price, okay?" Zhang Qiang briefly introduced the two parties.

Boss Jin smiled and said, "No problem. As long as you have what we need, there's nothing Dark Moon can't get."

"First, ten thousand arrows." Qin Shilei planned to replenish his arrows all at once to avoid having to pick them up from corpses.

Xie Haimei's face was slightly flushed. To repay his life-saving kindness, she had given three hundred arrows and thought it was quite a lot, but she didn't expect him to ask for ten thousand at once.

Boss Jin was also clearly stunned. This couldn't be for his own team, could it? He seemed so unfamiliar.

"Ten thousand is a bit much, but as long as you have enough to exchange, I'll transfer them to you immediately."

Qin Shilei took out a few of the most expensive cigarettes from his spatial ring and asked, "I wonder what these cigarettes are worth?"

Boss Jin's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "Alright, 100 cartons for ten thousand arrows."

Zhang Qiang said with some dissatisfaction, "These premium cigarettes, one pack only exchanges for 10 arrows. Boss Jin, aren't you a bit too greedy?"

"Sigh, no choice."

Boss Jin bluffed, "Yesterday, Apocalypse Home just transported a large batch of cigarettes from a small town, so there's a bit of an oversupply."

"Okay, I also want some armor, and various types of bullets..."

Qin Shilei had plenty of cigarettes in his ring, so exchanging them for much-needed supplies was the most cost-effective option.

Finally, Qin Shilei completed the transaction by paying five tons of rice, five tons of flour, and five hundred cartons of various cigarettes.

The two parties agreed to complete the transaction in a nearby warehouse one hour later.
