Lan Yuan estate

Liushi went to prepare diner. An hour later, they stopped to eat near a power substation.

Liushi gleefully used the available power to change the windshield and windows of the truck and change the table and 2 seats in the living room. He connected the truck to the substation with a power cable, and drained the batteries of the truck with the Starseed, using the substation to quickly refil them.

Where there was 2 chairs and a table that could be folded in the wall between them, there was now a 3 seats pull-out couch, and the table would be folded in the ground in front of it. The 3 people tested it by watching a movie together. It was the first time any of them would watch something on the TV. It was a 70" screen held near the ceiling by a mechanical arm between the door and the kitchen. They decided to watch something light and entertaining, and settled for Who Am I 2015.

It was the best evening any of them had since the outbreak. For Liushi, it was a novel experience to watch a movie in a relaxed setting with 2 attractive girls comfortably sitting on his sides.

Xiaotian felt safe, having a enjoyable moment at his side. She had been very worried about him since he came back from the hive. On top of her worries for her sister, she had been quite stressed. Being able to laugh with the 2 of them like that was very soothing for her, and halfway through the movie, she had taken his arm into hers and snuggled against him. Lu was simply having fun, enjoying the moment.

After the movie they went to sleep. Xiaotian returned to the lower bunk, and Liushi was able to enjoy the space provided by a 2 person bed. Not like the girls would let him keep using the bunk bed. He was the boss of the place, he deserved to use the new bed.

When the girls got to their bed, Liushi made himself an armband, which he connected to the truck electric system. While he would be sleeping, the Starseed would absorb the extra energy from the substation through that. It would only be a drop compared to the maximum storage capacity of the Starseed, but it would still be usefull for the current level of construction.

During the night, he was woken up once to retrieve completed items from the factory. They were the bodysuits, gloves, boots and pads, and they were filling the reception space of the factory. Liushi silently moved, careful to not wake up the girls, took the items and hid them behind the driver seat.

The next morning, there was a quiet tension in the truck. They were in the outskirts of Nanjing City, and they were going to move deeper in to reach Zhuying's place. Part of the tension was due to the thoughts of the ammount of zombies they were going to encounter. The other part was Liushi's anticipation to being reunited with his sister.

"Hey, brother Jiang. Since we are going to look for your sister today, are the suits ready?"

"Yes, they are. Do you want to try yours?"

"Yes" she curtly nodded.

Liushi retrieved her outfit.It was warped in a pillow case, so she couldn't see what it looked like. She got a bit more restless and bashful, and he found her reaction cute.

"Why don't you go to the bathroom and put it on?"

She hastly accepted the package and went to change. Xiaotian gave him a questioning look but he just shook his head with a mischevious glint in his eyes. They waited for her return in anticipating silence.

A few minutes later, Lu came out of the bathroom, fully dressed, and walked back toward Liushi and Xiaotian. They stared at her with their mouth open, the first one in awe, the later one in surprise and consternation. She moved with a mixture of confidence and shyness that were reflected in her expression, and totally captivated Liushi. When she got near them she turned around to give them a good look, though her attention was mostly on Liushi. She couldn't stop the satisfied grin that spread on her face.

Just like she wanted, the suit was red and black. Or rather, it was black with a vertical red band in the middle. Except the black part completly covered the leg from the knee and lower, and 2 bands coming from the hips and joining at the groin and underlining her buttcheeks at the back. On her upper back, the black sides joined following the shoulder blades, and on the front they joined over the clavicles.

It enhanced her figure a lot, especially her rounded apple butt and large B cup breasts. The best part was that the red sections seemed to shimmer like fire if the angle of view changed. And that was without being reflective. It was something he added for artistic value. The boots and gloves were black, with red linings and fastening. Her boots were knee-high, with in-built shin guard and opening on the inner side.

"So? How do I look?" she asked with a coy smile.

"L-Lu?"

"You're great" Liushi replied, slightly dazzed.

Xiaotian's eyes snapped to Liushi and narrowed. Then she quickly glanced at Lu and closed her eyes. She took a few seconds to gather herself, then turned to her sister with a resigned expression. She, of course, knew some of Lu's particular quirks and tastes, and couldn't really blame Liushi for her sister attire. She didn't like to see her little sister so exposed, but relented because it was her choice and she believed Liushi wouldn't do anything to hurt her.

"You look beautiful little Lu. I guess you asked for it?"

"Yes. That fire effect is a really cool surprise though."

"You asked for something good, I delivered."

"Thank you, brother Jiang."

She was sincerly grateful, and gave him a kiss. That, coupled with the show and her proximity made little Liushi stiffen. Enough for Lu to notice it. It wasn't the first time she caught a guy with tight pants, so she wasn't shocked and didn't show any outward reaction. If not for the presence of her sister, she would have tried to see how much he could react to her.

After that, urged by the girls, he went to put his own suit. Unlike Lu, it was 2 pieces, shirt and pants, and colored dark grey and silver. His boots and gloves were black and silver. The sisters looked at him in appreciation, and Xiatian blushed quite a bit. Lu's eyes remained on his groin longer than necessary, and it took all his willpower to not pop a boner at that moment. It would have been impossible to hide.

After the little fashion show, Liushi retrieved the weapons from the factory. The 3 barrels 12.7mm minigun was in 4 pieces due to the ammount of space available in the factory. He had to assemble it first before installing it on the Doomtrooper turret. At the same time, he also optimized the turret mechanism, bringing its speed and precision to the highest degree.

Then, he restocked the factory with raw materials. While Lu looked really hot in her catsuit, he didn't think it would be enough protection if they encountered well armed and hostile people. So he ordered the construction of armored vests. They were made of the same components as the second and third layers of their bodysuits, but thicker, with overlapping metal plates instead of miniature scales. They would weight 5kg, and be much more effective than the flak jackets they had aquired.

After checking their armament, as well as the various turrets on the truck and the trailers, the group moved on. The Doomsday Ride would open the way, and the Doomtrooper would follow, with Liushi inside. They were going to move slowly to avoid attracting a large mob, and it would allow them to stop at any interesting store on the way.

There wasn't a single street that was clear of zombies.

Anywhere they went, there would always be at least a dozen of zombies, and at most up to 200. The near silent engine was helpful in sneaking past some of them, but the randomly crashed or abandonned vehicles in the middle of the streets negated that. Since they had to ram them, they also attracted the zombies in the nearby buildings and alleys. But they couldn't do anything to the vehicles, who either ran them over, killed them with the turrets (except for the Doomtrooper, its turret reserved for mutant beasts), or left them behind.

After some time, they reached the area where Zhuying lived. The Lan Yuan estate, next to Zhuying's college. The area was near devoid of zombies. After killing the remaining scattered zombies, they observed their surroundings more carefully. There were dragging marks on the grounds, meaning the zombies had been cleared by someone.

Liushi got really anxious because whoever did it, there was a good chance that his sister had left with them. And he dearly hoped that if she left, it was willingly. The streets were too narrow for the truck, so Liushi and Lu went with the Doomtrooper to look for the 17th building, where Zhuying was supposed to be.

Once they got to the building, they stopped and fully equiped themselves. On top of their bodysuits, boots and gloves, they added the bracers, knee and elbow pads, helmets, and the newly finished armored vests, with colors matching their bodysuits.

Lu had a submachine gun, a pistol, both with silencers, a machete and a stun baton. Liushi had a pistol with silencer, the hatchet-like weapon he named zombie buster, a stun baton and his custom made shotgun. They were comfortably placed in their harnesses. Because the area had been cleaned of most of its zombies, they didn't take spare magasines. If something else came, the Doomtrooper was there with its hidden super turret.

They got out of the car, and Liushi took the lead, pistol in one hand, stun baton in the other hand attached to his still healing arm. Lu followed with the submachine gun in hand. He knocked at the door and opened it before stepping back, and a few second later, killed the zombie that rushed to them.

The 2 people cautiously entered the building. Liushi didn't bother with the elevator, not trusting it, and headed for the stairs. They checked each floor without opening closed doors and didn't come across any zombies.

They reached the top floor, where Zhuyin's room was, and Liush stopped at the door.
