Du Rui looked her up and down. Except for her fair face, her neck, collarbone, and gray sportswear had all changed color.

All blood.

Noticing his scrutiny, Qi Mi tilted his head: "What? You want to label me a monster too?"

Du Rui adjusted his glasses awkwardly and replied, "No, I just think you're amazing."

He spoke from the bottom of his heart. If Qi Mi had not rushed back in time, the twelve of them, big and small, would have become the monster's dinner.

He still wants to use the wooden stick in his hand to protect people. Don’t dream about it.

It's more like a toothpick for the monster to pick its teeth.

"As for me, I've learned this through practice day by day." Qi Mi smiled, pushed the lightest shopping cart and walked inside. "When I first started playing the apocalypse game, I was always the one who dragged the team down. I don't know how many times I got scolded."

"oh."

Du Rui was lost in thought, placing his hands on the handles of the shopping carts and trying to push them in. Not only did the two carts not budge at all, but the reaction force even forced him to take a step back.

I turned on the flashlight and shone it on me. No wonder it couldn't be moved.

In the shopping cart on one side, there was a bag of gray cement, a large toolbox stuffed next to it, and the rest were various scattered scraps, such as scrap iron and scrap wires, filling the entire shopping cart with a mess.

The shopping cart on the other side was crammed full of a large package that felt like clothing. But underneath, there was all sorts of junk and a dozen red bricks.

Du Rui was confused now: "Why are you picking up so much waste?"

By this time, Qi Mi had already pushed her shopping cart into the first-floor lobby. The empty corridor was filled with her faint reply: "Turning waste into treasure."

Du Rui glanced at them, half-comprehending, but didn't dare to be greedy and push two carts at once. He concentrated his attention on one of the carts and pushed forward with all his strength. Every few laborious steps forward, he would sigh in his heart - Qi Mi actually pushed all this back by himself?

When I reached the corridor, I saw a shopping cart parked at the door of the Douding class from a distance. Qi Mi was not there. I didn't know whether he had entered the room or gone somewhere else.

The cart at the door was filled with brand new, unopened items: toys, daily necessities, and a large cardboard box. Du Rui pulled the cart aside and pushed the useful items into the room, then closed the door and went to the street to push the heaviest pile of waste.

When he walked into the yard, Du Rui raised his eyes casually and saw a pair of red eyes in the darkness. He suddenly dared not move.

He was too careless. This time he didn't even bring a handy wooden stick with him. Now he only has a lighted mobile phone in his hand.

He stood there for a few seconds, staring at the red eyes, and tried to step back.

As soon as he took a step, he heard the red-eyed creature let out a fur-rattling roar: "Meow!"

Du Rui stopped immediately.

During the silence, the window of the women's bathroom next to the Douding class suddenly opened. Qi Mi poked his head out and reassured Du Rui that everything was fine: "That cat won't attack anyone, just chase it away."

Won't it attack people...?

Du Rui felt that the cat's eyes were about to eat him alive!

After a while of stalemate, Qi Mi could no longer bear it and went out through the window. She put on a black sweater that was easy to move in, swung the knife in her hand, and said to Black Cat, "Go, don't get in the way here."

"Meow~"

The black cat meowed sweetly, jumped off the shopping cart, and trotted to Qi Mi's feet.

Just as he was about to rub against her, Qi Mi took a step back: "Didn't I tell you, I can't get cat hair on me. There's a child in the house who has allergies."

The black cat paused and lay down obediently: "..."

After Qi Mi told Du Rui to quickly push the things in, he waved to the black cat and said, "Don't follow me. Go and play by yourself."

The black cat tilted its head and called out sweetly: "Meow~"

Du Rui, a cat lover, glanced back and said, "..." and then he became mean to me.

Seeing that the black cat didn't leave, Qi Mi waved the knife in his hand as if aiming, and then swung the knife, scaring the cat away quickly.

In the darkness, the black cat's expression became increasingly resentful.

The moment it walked into the alley, the black cat quickly stretched and grew into the appearance of a slender human.

He was a young man of about eighteen or nineteen years old.

The black shirt perfectly outlines his broad shoulders and narrow waist. The collar is slightly open, adding a touch of laziness and casualness to his formality. His ruby-like eyes are hidden by his eyelashes, and his chuckle seems to be full of affection.

"Don't you like cats anymore?"

As he was thinking, he felt that the monster corpse in the alley was really affecting his mood, so he waved his hand, blew out a gust of wind, and shattered the monster's body.

Thinking back to what Qi Mi had just said, the young man suddenly had an idea, and the corners of his lips raised even more beautifully.

When he turned around and left, his two slender legs wrapped in black overalls took a step forward, his Martin boots stepping powerfully, creating a terrifying aura in the silence.

Douding class.

Qi Mi, clutching the cardboard box, glanced at the eager children in front of her. All ten children thought their singing was impeccable and were pestering her for gifts. She feigned embarrassment as she pondered for a moment before asking again, "Who do you think sang the best?"

"Me!" The ten kids raised their hands in unison.

Qi Mi looked up at Zheng Yuanyuan: "Teacher Zheng, what do you think?"

Zheng Yuanyuan smiled and said, "I think the children all sang well. Teacher Qi, please stop teasing them."

Qi Mi nodded: "Okay, since Teacher Zheng thinks you are great, come here, I will give you the gifts!" She put the box on the ground, opened it and saw that it was full of delicious food.

The box was full of instant noodles, bread and chicken legs to fill the stomach, snacks to pass the time, milk powder for the children, and so on.

The children screamed with joy and more than ten hands reached in at the same time.

"One person can only choose one gift and cannot take more than one. Do you hear me?" Qi Mi leaned against the podium to maintain order.

"Okay!" replied the childish voice.

Zheng Yuanyuan was a bit surprised to see so much food, her mouth opened into an O shape. Qi Mi had been out for a long time at the supermarket before, but only managed to find two packs of instant noodles and a bag of bread. She hadn't expected to find such a rich harvest this time.

She leaned into the box and looked straight ahead. Suddenly, she felt a small package of something stuffed in her hand. She looked down and saw that it was her favorite marshmallows.

Qi Mi smiled and pointed to the corner.

Zheng Yuanyuan understood that this was a loving feeding, so she whispered thank you and sneaked to the corner. She gently tore open the package, stuffed one into her mouth like a thief, and glanced back.

Du Rui stood over at some point, not far from her. With a height of about 1.8 meters, he just blocked her view.

Zheng Yuanyuan took this opportunity to stuff a few more into her mouth.

Qi Mi looked at Zheng Yuanyuan, then glanced meaningfully at Du Rui. Du Rui held up his pants with both hands and looked back at her with a puzzled look, as if asking, "What are you looking at?"

Qi Mi raised his eyebrows but said nothing.

Someone was standing up for it. Wang Xiaohu, clutching the blanket wrapped around his legs in one hand and the chicken drumstick he'd just snatched in the other, couldn't move a step like a princess in a cheongsam, and could only tiptoe towards Du Rui. His expression vividly expressed the feeling of being speechless: "Teacher Du, are you just going to stand here and roast my pants?"

Du Rui glanced at the fire that was five steps away and said calmly, "I'm tired, let's move around."

Wang Xiaohu, the furry kid, didn't care what he said. As soon as he finished asking, he saw Zheng Yuanyuan hiding in the corner and poked her head out: "Teacher Zheng, what are you doing?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Du Rui took the lead and pushed him: "Let's go over and roast our pants."

After hearing Wang Xiaohu's call, Zheng Yuanyuan chewed the marshmallows in her mouth into pieces and swallowed them.

There were a few more, and when she passed by Qi Mi, she stuffed them all into her mouth.

The two girls smiled at each other as if they were speaking in secret.

Seeing Du Rui looking up at him, Qi Mi deliberately chewed the food in his mouth exaggeratedly and showed off childishly.

"Teacher Du, can't you just concentrate on roasting my pants?" Wang Xiaohu sat next to Du Rui as a supervisor, his face full of worry as if saying, 'What will happen to this class without me?'

Du Rui's speechless expression seemed to have a buff: "..."

After the kids' raid, everyone was satisfied with their favorite snacks. Qi Mi went out to get some water, then returned to sit by the fire, waiting for it to boil before making some instant noodles. Zheng Yuanyuan played with the kids for a while, then joined them with a bag of bread.

For a moment, the atmosphere suddenly became solemn as we sat together with the three teachers.

When six eyes were staring at him, the chicken leg in Wang Xiaohu's hand suddenly lost its flavor.

"What, what are you doing?" Wang Xiaohu raised his hand to wipe his mouth.

Qi Mi smiled and said, "Wang Xiaohu, the teachers have something important to say. Are you sure you want to listen here?"

Wang Xiaohu shook his head, his face trembling. Suddenly, he thought of something, frowned, and said seriously, "I have to supervise Teacher Du to help me bake my pants."

Du Rui was helpless: "I will bake it for you."

"real?"

"real."

Wang Xiaohu's eyes rolled around and he opened his arms: "Okay, then carry me over to find them."

Zheng Yuanyuan stuffed the bread in her hand into her mouth, patted the crumbs on her hands, and hurriedly carried him to the group of children nearby.

When he turned around, he saw Qi Mi and Du Rui staring at the fire. The light made their facial features look even deeper, and there was a heavy look between their brows.

As soon as Zheng Yuanyuan sat down, Qi Mi raised his head, his pretty face suddenly becoming more serious. "I must tell you about the situation in this world. This time when I went out, I met humans from this world..."

Afterwards, Qi Mi repeated to them the information he had learned during this trip, from the polar night to the advanced ones, and then to the mutant species, word for word.

As she spoke, Zheng Yuanyuan and Du Rui's pupils gradually widened. They remained silent until Qi Mi finished.

After being stunned for a long time, Du Rui, who was the first to calm down, asked, "So, the monster that attacked us just now was a human who failed to advance?"
