Chapter Sixty-Six Han Yu

After the torrential rain stopped and the sky cleared, Mu Qingyu and her brother planned to set off the next day.

The continuous torrential rains have caused some trouble for their village. Some of the older houses in the village have collapsed.

But the most important thing is water.

The village's original water source was likely groundwater, not tap water from the city's waterworks, especially in the villa area. Therefore, other buildings in the villa area also have water supply.

Buildings three and four were even more problematic. Before the apocalypse, Mu Qingyu had modified the water system of these two buildings, drawing water from a well with its external opening sealed, and installing a water filtration device.

The water filtration system is mainly powered by a storage battery, which is powered by the building's solar energy system.

Mu Qingyu didn't know how Building 4 used water, but she had told Mo Huaiyu to avoid drinking it if possible.

Mu Qingyu and Mu Qingyu always drank mineral water that they had stockpiled before the apocalypse, and only used filtered water for things like bathing.

However, after the heavy rain, even the filtered water in their house became murky, meaning that their filtration system had not been exposed to the level of water pollution.

Not to mention the other houses.

The water pollution after the rainstorm cut off even the most basic water source for Han Yu and her two neighbors in Building 1, as well as five people in Building 5.

Nowadays, the only use for the water coming out of the tap is for flushing the toilet.

For Mu Qingyu and her brother, it was alright; it just meant taking a bath was more troublesome, but otherwise it didn't have much of an impact. However, it had a much greater impact on other people.

So that morning, when Mu Qingyu and her brother had prepared everything, locked the door, and were about to go next door to pick up Mo Huaiyu, they found that the two sisters from Building 5 were already squatting at their door.

Mu Qingyu frowned immediately. She didn't want to talk to them, but when the two sisters saw her, they quickly stood up and said, "Are you going out to collect supplies? Can you take me with you?"

"Can't."

Why should I take you along?

"No" was what Mu Qingyu said, but she didn't expect that her usually gentle younger brother would say "Why should I?" She glanced at Mu Qingrong, whose expression was also very unpleasant, clearly showing that she didn't like the two sisters.

Mu Qingyu found it rather strange; she had no idea what they had done to offend her good-natured younger brother.

Little did Mu Qingyu know that Mu Qingrong's dissatisfaction with the two sisters did not stem from the sisters themselves, but from Aunt Mei.

Because of his close relationship with Mo Huaiyu, he knew some things even if he didn't want to. For example, Aunt Mei disapproved of his sister's murderous tendencies; Aunt Mei sympathized with the people of Building 5 and was willing to break ties with Mo Huaiyu; Aunt Mei believed that the resources of those bad guys should belong to those three children…

His hostile attitude toward the two sisters was merely a transference of his emotions toward Aunt Mei.

"I can fight, I can kill zombies, and I dare to kill people! I won't hold you back, I promise. If... if I do hold you back, you can just leave me behind and don't worry about me..." Ji Qingqing, the younger sister, promised eagerly.

She had to go out with them; their supplies were running low. They had been searching for supplies in the village, but those supplies were limited. Most importantly, they were now lacking drinking water, so she had to go out to find supplies, preferably enough drinking water.

Being alone and outnumbered, the best solution was to form a group. She learned from Aunt Mei that Mu Qingyu and the others would be setting off today, so she came here early in the morning to keep watch.

When she said, "You can just leave me here and don't worry about me," her sister Ji Susu anxiously grabbed her hand: "Qingqing, don't talk nonsense. You will come back safely, and you must come back safely."

Mu Qingyu really didn't want to pay attention to them, nor did she want to see their sisterly affection. Originally, she didn't have any prejudice against the two sisters, but she had given them a chance.

That day, they clearly felt threatened by those thugs. Mu Qingyu asked them if they dared to kill someone. In fact, if they had thought it through and come back to her to participate in the operation, Mu Qingyu might not have actually let them participate in the dangerous operation.

But they never showed up. That's one point.

Secondly, it was also because of Aunt Mei. Although Mu Qingyu didn't know as much as Mu Qingrong, she knew that Aunt Mei was close to Building No. 5 and delivered food to Building No. 5 every day.

Furthermore, Aunt Mei's aloofness towards her and the unequal medication changes she made a couple of days ago all made Mu Qingyu extremely disgusted.

At this moment, Mo Huaiyu also got ready and went out. Mu Qingrong helped him onto the back seat of the motorcycle, and the wheelchair was folded up and hung on the side of the motorcycle.

Seeing that Mu Qingyu and Mu Qingrong completely ignored them and were about to leave after getting into the car, Ji Qingqing quickly blocked Mu Qingyu's car: "Please, let me go out with you, I really need it."

Mu Qingyu frowned: "I won't take you. But the road isn't my property, and I won't stop you from going out. Don't act like you can't go out without me! Move aside, or I'll run you over."

Upon hearing this, Ji Susu immediately pulled her younger sister Ji Qingqing away, believing that Mu Qingyu was indeed going to run into her. However, Ji Qingqing had a sudden flash of inspiration and seemed to be deep in thought.

"If you don't bring me, I really can't go out. Why don't you take me with you?" A head peeked out from the corner of the wall, a grin on its face.

"You really do enjoy eavesdropping, don't you?" Mu Qingyu glanced at Han Yu. She had known there was someone there all along, but since there was no murderous intent, she couldn't be bothered to pay attention. Sure enough, Han Yu was hiding there.

"Then you're wronging me." Han Yu emerged from the corner of Building 2 and loudly complained, "I saw someone staking out your door early this morning, and I was worried something might have happened to you, so I came to check on you. But instead, you look down on me." He looked aggrieved.

"Then I thank you very much," Mu Qingyu said as she started the motorcycle.

"Hey, don't rush off. I'm serious, take me with you, my boss and I are starving." Han Yu quickly moved closer, no longer afraid that Mu Qingyu would shoot him with an arrow. "I have this, and I can fight, it's not a bad deal to take me along, right?"

As Han Yu spoke, he took out a finely crafted pistol from his pocket and waved it in front of Mu Qingyu.

“But I’m afraid you’ll stab me in the back,” Mu Qingyu said.

"Hey, what are you saying? I've never stabbed you in the back before! Why would I stab you now?" Han Yu said, making a big fuss.

That's true. Mu Qingyu had always felt that this person was strange, but he didn't seem to have any ill intentions.

"Can you ride it?" Mu Qingyu patted her motorcycle.

Han Yu was overjoyed and walked over without any hesitation: "Yes, you're really good at it, little sister, let me show you how to fly!"
