Departure

With the change in the Doomsday Ride size, its structure had to be changed as well. The vehicle was going to be too big to move in settlement without turning it into an articulated truck. The joint was placed between the living section and the engineering section.

The process had to start with the frame and the wheels axles, as they supported the whole truck. The second and third axle were moved at the back of the living section, while the last one supported the engineering section on its own. He had to do so without disturbing some of the machinery of the vehicle, such as the cooling and the computer systems.

The upgrade took much more time than expected, and Liushi could only stop way past midnight. At some point, he had to focus on the interior so the girls could use the facilities and go to bed. He added hidden guns merged in the structure of the truck to deal with the zombies that would cling on the sides or underneath it, as well as flamethrowers.

Lu had turned into an assistant for Liushi during that time. She used the rough terrain pallet mover to get materials for him and place them where he needed them. Ran Xiyu also helped by taking inventory of the stocks of materials.

The 4 paranormals took turns taking watch both physically and with the help of the drone. They had to leave 2 times during the night to attract zombies groups in another direction. It was worrying because the infected were more active in the port since they had come.

It was past 3am when Liushi finally stopped working. Not everything was completed, but the Doomsday Ride was at least fit for safe travel. The fine tunning could wait for another day.He had to use 2 of his 5 mutant beast cores to speed up the work.

He stood up and stretched himself when a pair of soft hands landed on his shoulders and started to knead them. He turned around and saw Lu.

"You're still awake?" he asked in surprise. "There was no need to wait for me you know."

"I know" she replied with a small smile. "I just didn't want to leave you alone."

"Thanks. I really appreciate it" he said while enjoying the massage.

They stayed in a comfortable silence for a few minutes while she worked on his shoulder, then his back. Then he decided it was late enough.

"We should get to sleep now. Aren't you eager to try your new bed?"

Above his sofa-bed, he added another foldable bed. This way, the Wen sisters could sleep above, while he and his sister slept on the sofa-bed. That freed one of the beds at the back for Yang Qingping.

"Not at all" she replied in a snobbish tone. "While it looks decent, it doesn't have the additional feature of the previous one."

"Which feature?" Liushi asked, half-puzzled.

"There was this warm body pillow with a pleasurable tool equipped to it" she replied with a suggestive look while grinning. That made his blood boil in an instant, chasing away his sleepiness.

"Ah, that. I understand your disappointment" he replied with a smile. "I liked that feature as well, but I had to give it up to make the additional bed. I wish I could have more thoroughly explored it" he added, while taking her in his arms.

She warped her arms around his neck, as he let his hands wander from her back to her butt. They gazed at each other eyes with strong desire, and their lips met. The soft kiss quickly grew more heated and passionate. Their lips stayed stuck to each other until they stopped for air.

Their breathing was ragged, and their eyes full of barely repressed lust. Neither wanted to stop, they wanted to go all the way, and would have done so already if it wasn't for the lack of privacy. This time, it wouldn't be a problem, as there was one vehicle that wasn't used for the night. The truck they used in place of the double-trailer.

Liushi dragged Lu toward it, and when she realised his intentions her smile grew. The truck didn't have a bed, but it wasn't a problem for Liushi. 30s later, and the 2 seats were merged into a single bed. Then, they resumed their make-out session while pausing occasionally to take off their clothes.

They quickly found themselves naked, kissing each other. While Lu had her hands working on his rod, he had one hand fondling her breasts, and the other on her snatch. Liushi easily slipped 2, then 3 fingers inside of Lu's wet and hot honeypot. But that wasn't enough for her. She lied on her back, legs spread wide, and looked at him in the eyes.

"Give it to me" she whispered. "Make me a woman."

Liushi positioned himself between her legs, and teased her snatch a little with the tip of his rod, before slowly pushing it inside her. They both moaned in pleasure and relief, as it was something they wanted to do for a while. Despite being tight, Liushi could easily go deeper because of how wet Lu was. Still, he had enough sense to gradually push it, instead of getting all of it in in a single stroke.

"Are you alright?" he asked as he prevented himself from letting his lust run wild.

"Yes. Keep going slowly" she replied in a half-daze.

He did so at first, careful to not hurt Lu, and gradually got faster and deeper with her encouragment. He found a rythm that was fast enough to please them, yet not enough to hurt her. From this point, it didn't take him long to reach his limit, and came deep inside her. Neither of them were concerned with birth control in their lustful state.

He took half a minute to recover from that orgasm, and turned Lu around. While he had his release, Lu didn't, and he intended to give her her own release. So they resumed their intercourse doggy style. This time, he moved faster than before, and with longer strokes.

Lu's loud moan of pleasure were like musing to his ears. Liushi was fully enjoying her tight wet folds, watching her buttcheeks jiggle as his hips slapped her rear. His hands sometimes fondled them, or he leaned forward to play with her breasts. A small shout from Lu, along with her arms collapsing, was the only hint he had that she had her orgasm.

It prompted him to cum as well, as he had been trying his best to not have an early second release. He held her firmly by the hip, as he buried himself as deeply as possible into her. He almost collapsed on top of her, using his forearms to support himself at the last moment. They stayed like that, breathing roughly, and still connected, slowly recovering from their first sexual intercourse.

After a moment, he moved to the side. He caressed her back, sometimes fondling her buttcheeks. Then Lu turned toward him and kissed him again. They kissed for a while before cleaning after themselves, including returning the seats to their original form, and turned in for the night.

There was a moment of panic when Liushi realised they did it bareback. Thankfully for both of them, Lu was on the pill. It was an embarrassing moment for both of them because they had been completly reckless. They blamed it on the tiredness after a long and tense day, at least on the surface.

The next day, they acted as if nothing happened the previous night in front of the others, but when noone was watching, they exchanged knowing looks and small smiles. However, both Xiaotian and Zhuying noticed that something changed with their respective siblings. Ran Xiyu could also feel that something pleasant happened between Liushi and Lu. But noone of the girls felt it was important enough to ask questions. In Ran Xiyu's case, she was a newcomer and it wasn't her business.

It was midday when they returned back to the refugees camp, and it was to see a lot of activity.

"What happened?" Zhuying asked, jumping out of the car before it fully stopped.

"There was a zombie attack an hour ago" a woman answered with a slightly trembling voice. "We just finished cleaning up the bodies" she added, before turning to Liushi and bowing low. "If not for the items you gave us, there would have been many more casualities than the 2 we lost."

"When will you be ready to leave?" Liushi asked.

"In 2 hours. We want to be out of the city before nightfall."

"Do you know where you want to go?"

"Yes. It's already been decided."

"Zhuying, you and the 3 others should finish packing up. We will leave at the same time as them."

The remaining 2 hours passed with a lot of frenetic activity. Liushi had to increase the size of the double trailer by 1m for each trailer to make room for the extra-materials they had aquired. During that time, Liushi wasn't just focusing on his task. When the Starseed was used, it worked mostly on its own. That left his mind free to think about what he had done with Lu.

'What are we, now? We clearly are attracted to each other, and we like each other well enough. But it's not like I'm in love with her or something. I wanted to have some fun with a nice girl, and she was perfectly willing. We did it. But did she take it the same way as me? Or is she looking for something more serious.'

"Damn, I don't want to think about anything serious so soon after the outbreak" he whispered to himself. "I'm not even sure about what I want."

But even as he said that, an image of Li Yuxin popped in his mind. Ever since they met in highschool, she always had a special place in his heart. And considering what he did with Lu, he felt guilty of having enjoyed himself while her survival wasn't confirmed. He decided to put it out of his mind for the time being, though he knew he needed to have a talk with Lu soon.
