Extreme heat, earthquakes, extreme cold, eternal day, eternal night, heavy rain, insect plagues, zombies...
Jiang Li survived all sorts of natural disasters for six years in the apocalypse, ...
Watching the mother and son walk away, Jiang Li turned around to pick up the things on the ground, and saw Gu Jin walking towards him not far away.
"I came over when I heard the commotion, and when I went to help, I saw you knock them down."
"Don't you think I'm ruthless?" Killing three people in the blink of an eye, most people would think I'm ruthless.
"No, you did the right thing. People like that don't deserve it. If you don't kill them, they will go and harm even more people."
Gu Jin didn't think Jiang Li had done anything wrong; on the contrary, she admired her personality.
"And you're very skilled."
"Thank you, I've learned some basic skills before." I don't know why, but hearing him say that made me feel relieved and even quite happy.
"Hey, here, take this. I think you might need it."
Gu Jin handed a black plastic bag to Jiang Li. The man, who had been fine just moments before, suddenly turned red in the ears and avoided looking at Jiang Li.
Jiang Li took the bag with a puzzled look; it was full, quite a lot.
"What is it...?"
Before she could finish speaking, even Jiang Li, who was usually calm, blushed when she saw what was in the bag: a whole bag of sanitary napkins.
"Um, thank you..." Jiang Li thanked her shyly, glancing at her watch. "It's almost 12 o'clock. Have you eaten? Why don't we find a place to sit down and have something to eat?"
"Okay, I haven't eaten yet either."
The two found a folding table in a shop, moved two small stools, and sat down to eat. The table was probably where the employees usually ate.
Jiang Li took out two boxed lunches from her backpack and handed one to Gu Jin. The lunch had been put in earlier and was already cold. If it had been taken out of the space directly while it was still hot, it would have aroused too much suspicion. Although she could eat bread, Jiang Li still didn't want to treat herself badly.
"I made this myself, and it should taste pretty good, but it's a bit cold. If you don't mind, you can have this."
Gu Jin glanced at the boxed lunch in front of her, then at the compressed biscuits in her hand, and decisively chose the boxed lunch.
"Thank you," Gu Jin said, taking the boxed lunch and then taking a carton of milk from her bag and handing it to Jiang Li. "This is for you."
Jiang Li glanced at the milk, took it, and thanked Gu Jin.
After finishing their meal, the two continued searching for supplies in the mall, eventually making several trips before driving home.
Back downstairs in the apartment complex, Jiang Li noticed many hostile stares. Driving back to the basement went smoothly, even though Jiang Li had thought she might encounter some trouble on the way. She didn't expect it to be so easy.
In fact, some people in the community were watching and observing, while others dared not. After all, the three people had caused a death before, and many people had seen them go to find Jiang Li and Gu Jin. Then, they were never seen again, so they knew that the three must have been dealt with.
They saw the three enter the building, but didn't know which floor they went to. However, it seemed that only Gu Jin had the power to do so in the entire building. Jiang Li was completely ignored by them. They didn't believe that a young girl could have such ability, so no one dared to easily cause trouble for Gu Jin.
Jiang Li was unaware that Gu Jin had saved him a lot of trouble. Of course, Jiang Li wasn't afraid of trouble either, since he had survived in the apocalypse for six years and certainly had some martial arts skills. Although his current body was not as good as his previous one after being reborn, he had been training for the past six months and still had the experience of surviving in the apocalypse. He could definitely handle most people.
After parking the car, Jiang Li and Gu Jin carried their belongings back upstairs. Unexpectedly, they encountered trouble on their way back upstairs, whereas they hadn't run into any downstairs problems.
My first reaction upon seeing Chen Sisi at the stairwell was, "Look, she's here again. She's back with her usual witty remarks, but this time she's obediently not wearing a white dress."
As expected, Chen Sisi's first words were, "Brother, you brought back so much stuff! Could you give me some? I haven't eaten in so long, could you have pity on me?" Chen Sisi said to Gu Jin in a coquettish voice.
Chen Sisi saw them when they came back, so she waited for them at the stairwell, which led to the scene we see now.
Jiang Li thought that perhaps only magic could defeat magic, so he deliberately mimicked her tone and said...
"Sister, no way, no way, you mean we have to share with you the things we found all day under the scorching sun?"
"What, sister? Are you so cruel as to try and get our hard-earned stuff for free?"
Chen Sisi was furious when she heard Jiang Li's words, but she couldn't get angry: "I was talking to my brother, not you. Besides, I didn't say I wanted to take it for free."
"Oh really? Then what will you offer in exchange?" Jiang Li asked.
"I...it's none of your business what I take, I'm not going to trade with you anyway." Chen Sisi obviously had nothing to offer in exchange, but she was too embarrassed to say it in front of Jiang Li.
"Oh really? Then why are you blocking my way? Move aside!"
When Jiang Li called out to her, Chen Sisi instinctively took a step to the side, successfully letting Jiang Li leave.
Jiang Li saw that she had moved aside, picked up her things and left, not caring about what was behind her. No way she could get something for free.
But Gu Jin wasn't so lucky; Chen Sisi's step aside blocked him.
"Brother, I..." Chen Sisi was about to say something when Gu Jin interrupted her.
"Don't call me brother, I don't know you, and you look older than me." After saying that, she walked around him and went upstairs.
Chen Sisi stomped her feet in anger. It was too late to say anything more, so she could only go back to her room. She had always been pursued by men and was quite proud of her looks. However, she was disappointed to have been rejected twice. She vowed to stay away from them next time.
Jiang Li, who was upstairs, couldn't help but laugh when she heard what Gu Jin said. She hadn't expected Gu Jin to have such a sharp tongue.
Just as Jiang Li was about to open the door upstairs, Gu Jin finally came up as well. Jiang Li then said to Gu Jin, "What you said just now was really right, it hit the nail on the head. I guess she will never appear in front of us again."
"She's wearing too much makeup; I really can't tell her age," Gu Jin said seriously.
"Pfft, hahaha, you're so cute." Jiang Li thought Gu Jin was really a bit of a straight man, being so serious, but she found it kind of cute.
Seeing Jiang Li smiling so happily and saying he was cute, Gu Jin's ears secretly turned red.
Of course, Jiang Li didn't see it. The two of them brought back a lot of things and had to make several trips. After putting their things away, they continued downstairs. Fortunately, they didn't run into Chen Sisi again or encounter any other trouble.
