Crossdressing To Survive An Apocalypse

Chapter 226 water~

Fan Xui rushed over to the electrical junction and pointed to a white rectangular box there. "There's already a voltage regulator there. I can try using my powers without causing any damage..." he expectantly looked at Yue and Tian, who was close by.

Tian peered at him for a moment.

"Before that we need a safety measure, come here," she beckoned Fan Xui close. "Hary you too,"

Confused, Hary moved closer. "yes my stingy colleague,"

"Create a small metal ball,"

Even Yue was confused at this point. "What are you doing?"

"Testing something," she shrugged. "Don't worry, it's safe. Fan I need you to hold the metal ball and pass a very minute amount of electricity. Can you do that?"

Fan Xui eyes slightly went wide. "My powers are not in control. I'm not sure...."

"Can you try?"

Yue was completely shocked by her suggestion.

Hary's metal was different from anything else. It was practically his skin; any harm inflicted on it would be felt by him. He hurriedly held his sister's shoulders. "Tian it's too risky,"

"Hary's metal does not react to my heat. So I want to know if it would react to electricity or not?" Tian whispered softly.

"I want to know too," Hary smirked at her. "Hey Fan, don't you dare kill me. I like living,"

Fan Xui's started sweating slightly. "I-I'll try not to."

Hary held out his new metal arm. Metal liquid rolled out of it, forming a small ball in her open palm. Little by little the liquid built upon it forming a fist-sized sphere. "Here," he handed it to Fan.

Fan Xui held it carefully. "I'll start. Please let me know if you feel any pain or discomfort," he nervously looked at Hary.

"Come on dude, don't delay it any further. I'm getting hungry,"

"Okay, here I go," Fan Xui closed his eyes.

Small sparks of blue sparkled in the air. it crackled loudly as it touched the metal ball.

Yue keenly looked at Hary's face catching onto his minute reactions. To his surprise, Hary did not display any signs of discomfort. He was totally chill. Even so, he wanted to make sure.

"Do you feel anything?"

Hary glanced at him and shook his head. "Nothing. I don't feel anything. Sometimes I feel the bites of the zombies otherwise I don't feel much through my metal,"

Tian smirked widely. "Good, Fan you can let go now,"

Fan Xui gingerly held out the metal ball back to Hary.

"now that we have tested and proved that Hary can handle that electric discharge we can start this. Fan, try to start this treatment facility. Hary, stay close to him. Others keep your distance," she explicitly glanced at Yue when she uttered that.

Sighing, Yue rolled his eyes. "fine," he stepped closer to his lover and gently held his slightly stiff hand. "be careful. If you feel something's wrong let go of it okay. Your safety is the most important.," he gently patted his back.

Fan Xui regained his confidence. "It's nothing, really. All I have to do is to disconnect a few wires," he opened the manual and read through it slowly.

He climbed over rubble and started to cut into a few protruding wires.

Tian pulled Yue back at least a few feet and gestured for him to stand there.

Rolling his eyes, Zou Yue watched his lover anxiously.

"this wire is supposed to be connected to the machines.. which one for the voltage regulator..." Fan Xui mumbled as he fiddled with the wires.

Somehow seeing Fan in his serious state made him slightly horny.... licking his dry lips Yue silently gulped.

Tian slightly pinched his hand. "Your mind is wavering,"

He glanced at Tian and mouthed. "Isn't he sexy?"

Tian just rolled her eyes. She pulled him close and whispered, "keep it in your pants, I don't want another sleepless night,"

"boohoo.. You are cruelly separating a pair of lovers," he whispered into her ear. "oh how is Prisitsky by the way? Is he sleeping well?"

"Woke up right after sunrise. He has been doing the same thing. Left the soldiers with him."

Yue sat down on the dusty factory ground and watched his lover work on the wires with relish. Tian joined him on the floor but she, of course, had a very bored look on her face.

For over ten minutes they watched Fan fiddle with the wires.

"I'm bored," Tian mumbled

Yue tugged at her sleeve. "The pipes are made of metal. Would you be able to solder it or melt it together?"

"I can try. Let's go," she got off the floor dusting her back. "Hary take care of him. If anything happens use your metal,"

"Got it," Hary playfully grinned at them.

Fan Xui on the other hand expectantly glanced his way.

Yue smiled and gave him an air kiss. "I'll be back. Stay safe,"

"You too," Fan dazzlingly smirked.

"oh my bejesus. You two are so corny. Get your head back into your work" Hary grumbled, tugging at Fan's legs.

Fan Xui playfully glared down at him. "hmph you must be jealous of our love," he whispered jokingly as he was untangling the wires.

Unknown to him, Hary's expression shifted drastically. "you have no idea...."

"What did you say? I couldn't get you,"

"Nothing," Hary shook her head. "Get it done. My neck is aching from just looking up at you."

Yue glanced at the two who were playfully kicking and punching each other. 'their relationship seems much better than before. It's nice.....'

Yue and Tian walked over to the busted pipe.

"It looks more like a well than a pipe." Tian touched the broken edges of it. Her palm turned red and the metal started to also burn up. "It's metal. I can fuse it. If we can get all the pieces together."

While Fan Xui and Hary were working on the power, they were working on piecing the pipe together.

It was like a jigsaw puzzle. Every piece of the pipe that was shattered by the meteor was scattered everywhere on the ground.

Little by little they found all the pieces and finally the pipe was complete.

It was soldered together with ease.

Yue experimentally tapped on it likely expecting it to fall apart. But to his surprise, it held together well. "I think we have a working pipe. Now all we have to do is start this place up and get the pump working,"

Right then the light overhead came on, the machines started to whir loudly.

"The power's back. Tian! We can do this!"

The fake mechanic also joined them by the pipe. "We can start the cleaning motor. It will clean out the sludge," he switched on something.

The pipe whirred and whined but there was no water flowing in or out of it.

They waited for a while, but nothing was happening.

"It's not working." Yue glanced at the fake mechanic.

The man looked perplexed. "I.. I don't know... I don't know what's wrong. I'm just as confused as you are..."

Yue sighed loudly. "Is there any other way to clean out this pipe?"

"we.. we can take the pipes out of the reservoir and take a look. The shaft must have submerged under the soil.. or... something big must have gotten stuck inside,"

"mnn hmm..." Tian looked about done with this place. "Let's pack up,"

Yue peered at her with a cute puppy dog face. "The lake is just nearby. We can take a look. If we still can't start this place up after that, we'll all go back home and send for another squad, okay?"

"Fine," she pinched his nose hard. "Don't use that cute look again. I'm not going to fall for it,"

Yue smirked victoriously. 'But she falls for it all the time, hehe..'

"Fan-ah let go of the wires. We have to go check the intake pipes by the lake and let's start this place up again,"

Fan Xui got down from the barrel and patted his hands.

"How are you feeling?" Yue gently caressed his cheeks. "Exhausted?"

"No, I'm good," he leaned down and kissed her lips softly.

"Enough with the PDA, Yue, and Fan come along with me to the river bed. Hary, go protect Prisitsky,"

Hary looked slightly disappointed. "Why can't I come along? I'm in dire need of a bath,"

"Nope, your powers will be useful here." Tian gathered all the weapons in a bag loaded her guns/

Yue also excitedly sharpened his swords and his daggers. But in this excitement, there was a small fear still lingering in.

He knew that the mutated goldfish lived in that river....

They are massive and will devour anything by opening their jaws and suck their prey in like a huge vacuum...

He gulped softly. "Tian, prepare the grenades and the other explosives,"

Frowning slightly, she packed up a bazooka and twenty grenades.

After getting ready they opened the door a little and dashed out.

Like hungry hyenas, twenty zombies charged at them.

Yue rushed to lice them away but a hand suddenly grabbed his waist and pulled him close to a warm chest.

Surprised he glanced up. Fan Xui was peering down at him with a small smile. "let your lover take care of these small fries," holding out his hand. He zapped them.

It was insta kill.

The zombies were charred instantly.
