The remaining treatment book was gripped tightly in Yuan Chuyi's hand, and it too transformed into light and entered his mind.

Looking at the remaining 3580 gold coins, Yuan Chuyi glanced at the two girls who were adjusting the drone, wondering what skills they could learn at their current level.

Yuan Chuyi spent another 1,000 gold coins to successfully obtain a basic sword technique book and spent 2,000 gold coins to obtain a mental power combat technique book, for a total of two skill books.

Yuan Chuyi walked up to Tang Yan with a smile and said, "President Tang, would you like this skill book?"

Having spent so much time with Yuan Chuyi, Tang Yan had naturally heard of what a skill book was, so she excitedly said, "Of course I want one."

Yuan Chuyi asked quietly, "Then what you said that night still stands?"

Tang Yan asked in confusion, "Which sentence?"

Yuan Chuyi moved even closer to Tang Yan's ear and said, "Didn't you ask me that night if I wanted it?"

After hearing this clearly, Tang Yan blushed and said shyly, "So you heard everything that night."

"Since you chose to pretend to be asleep that night, you'll never have another chance like this." With that, he reached out and snatched the skill book from Yuan Chuyi's hand.

With a firm grip, the skill book transformed into a beam of light and entered Tang Yan's mind.

Yuan Chu asked, "How is it? Do you feel anything?"

Tang Yan pondered for a moment and said, "I feel like I can accurately strike the enemy's weakness."

Yuan Chuyi said enviously, "That's a great skill. It's very useful for close combat."

Then he looked at Zheng Shuang, who was fiddling with the drone, and shouted:

"Zheng Shuang, come here."

Looking at Yuan Chuyi holding the skill book, Zheng Shuang cautiously asked, "Is this skill book for me?"

Looking at Yuan Chuyi nodding and smiling, Zheng Shuang said in surprise, "Really? I can actually learn skills too."

Yuan Chuyi patted Zheng Shuang on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Now that we're all teammates, Brother Yuan won't treat you unfairly. Hurry up and start learning."

"Thank you, Brother Yuan, thank you!"

As he spoke, he gripped the handle tightly as Yuan Chuyi had instructed, and a burst of light rushed into his mind.

"How are you feeling?" Yuan Chuyi asked.

Zheng Shuang looked at the Tang sword in her hand, then slashed it in mid-air. A white light extending more than 10 centimeters from the tip of the sword appeared, as if it were a magnificent and beautiful sword aura.

Yuan Chuyi looked at the two women and said, "They seem to be doing well. Try them out when you encounter zombies later."

By the way, how's the drone debugging going? Will it be of any use?

Zheng Shuang, who had put away her knife, said, "The drone is already usable, but it can't fly more than 10 kilometers at a time, and it can last for about 3 hours on a single charge."

Yuan Chu nodded and said, "Then you can try operating it in a while, and get used to it."

"We'll go back to the area near the supermarket where you're hiding tonight."

Looking at the city on the screen, the scattered zombies wandering the streets, the abandoned cars in the alleys, and the occasional pitiful screams touched the hearts of the two women.

"Brother, look, someone is waving at us." Through the screen, you can see a middle-aged woman frantically waving a white cloth towards the sky.

Zheng Shuang looked at Yuan Chuyi and asked, "What should we do, brother? Should we save him?"

Yuan Chu glanced at Zheng Shuang and said, "Do you think we're a rescue team? Take a closer look at the situation below and her location."

I'm telling you that in the end times, only by saving yourselves can you survive.

If you're placing your hopes on someone else, you might as well die sooner rather than later, because even if you save her, it'll only prolong her life by a few more days.

Just as everyone was focused on the screen, a knock sounded on the door.

Yuan Chuyi opened the car window and looked at the man and woman outside, asking, "Is there something you need?"

The man and woman outside looked to be in their early twenties. They were thin and had yellowish complexions, clearly due to malnutrition and lack of sleep.

The man outside looked around and said to Yuan Chuyi, "Big brother, can you help us?"

I've been watching you from the apartment complex across the street for two days. I'd like to ask you for some food; my sister and I haven't eaten for several days.

Yuan Chu frowned and said, "If you want something to eat, you can get it yourself. I don't have any extra." With that, he closed the car window.

"Knock knock knock!" The man knocked on the car door again.

Yuan Chuyi impatiently rolled down the car window and said, "If you knock again, I won't be polite!"

The man quickly said, "Brother, don't misunderstand. I may not have explained myself clearly. I don't want food; I want to exchange it for food."

Yuan Chuyi looked at the man with suspicion and asked, "What do you want to exchange?"

The man looked around, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and said, "I'll trade this pack for a few bottles of water and some instant noodles."

Yuan Chu asked, "Where did the smoke come from?"

The man quickly replied, "I bought this before, intending to give it to the school counselor, but the apocalypse happened before I could give it to her."

Yuan Chuyi looked at the man and said, "Wait!"

Yuan Chuyi took a plastic bag from the back of the car, filled it with six bottles of water and a few pieces of bread, hesitated for a moment, then put in two bags of compressed biscuits before walking to the car window.

After expressing his deepest gratitude, the man quickly ran with his sister towards the building opposite.

Just as the two women were about to enter the building after watching the departing siblings, a zombie suddenly darted out from around the corner.

He grabbed the girl's arm, and then slammed his body into the zombie, causing it to stumble.

Just as the man tried to pull the girl back to the building, the zombie grabbed his thigh and bit him hard.

After letting out a painful scream, the man quickly handed the plastic bag to the girl and let go of her hand so she could run away.

The girl cried as she tried to pull away the zombie that was biting the boy's thigh, but she didn't see that two zombies were running towards them from the next building.

Yuan Chuyi noticed the look in the eyes of the two women in the car, quickly lowered the sunshade and said, "Let's put the drone back, we're ready to leave."

Perhaps because it was the first time they had ever seen zombies eating people, the two women stared wide-eyed, their pupils filled with astonishment, as if they could not believe what they had just witnessed.

Their hands trembled slightly unconsciously, clutching the hem of their clothes tightly, as if seeking a sense of security.

Their mouths were slightly open, but they couldn't close them for a moment, as if they were too shocked to speak.

Yuan Chuyi watched the two of them act without saying a word and silently walked towards the driver's seat.

Tang Yan was the first to come to her senses, patted Zheng Shuang on the shoulder and said, "See? This is the apocalypse. Perhaps scenes like this are playing out somewhere all the time."

If we don't want to become food for those disgusting things, we must strive to improve ourselves.

What we are experiencing today is something we will all have to go through sooner or later; this is the cruel end of the world.

Since they were in the suburbs, there were only scattered zombies on the road. The car drove through them without incident and made it back to the small supermarket where they met Zheng Shuang.

As soon as Yuan Chuyi parked the car, he watched the two women chatting and laughing behind it, and his worries subsided.

He was genuinely worried that the two women would be devastated and never recover, but thankfully, seeing how they looked now, he figured they were alright.
