Chapter 26 Replenishing Supplies



Cheng Zhi only realized what she had done after returning to the room. She slapped herself in the face. What was she doing just now?

When the news broke that 835 had moved in next door, everyone had a different expression on their face.

Xiao Feiran's first thought was to be wary, feeling that 835 had followed them all the way and had ill intentions towards them.

Zheng Wan was marveling at how small the world was, that she could still run into him again after leaving school.

Huang Yiyi and Chen Siyu have peculiar thought processes; one is praising the campus bus's long range, while the other wants to borrow a campus bus from 835 to drive.

The Crouching Dragon and the Young Phoenix certainly don't disappoint!

Cheng Zhi's mind was filled with the image of exchanging names with Qi Yanche. After setting up the safety devices, she quickly went to sleep, hoping to forget these memories when she woke up.

In another villa, Lu Yuan adjusted his glasses, looked at Qi Yanche whose aura had softened considerably, and whispered to Shen Lingfeng, "Don't you have a feeling that Brother Yan has become... a little gentler since he came into this villa?"

Shen Lingfeng touched the fries lying beside his legs. "Is it because you went home?"

Lu Yuan clicked his tongue, clearly dissatisfied with this explanation. "Use your brain! How could it be because of that!"

Feeling disliked, Shen Lingfeng grabbed Lu Yuan by the throat.

"I'm not his mother, how could I know such details? Besides, as soon as I got here, I started looking for the house number, and when I came back he was like this. You saw what happened in between, but you don't even know why, how would I know!"

When asked what happened in between, Lu Yuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration and patted Shen Linfeng's arm to indicate that he had something to say.

"I know, it must be because of that girl in 806!" Lu Yuan grinned slyly. "Brother Yan definitely has a crush on that girl!"

Sensing the juicy gossip, Shen Lingfeng and Chen Yiyi, who appeared out of nowhere, both crowded around Lu Yuan, eager to hear the juicy tale.

After explaining the situation, Shen Lingfeng slapped his thigh and confidently tossed his hair, "This is fate! Destiny has brought us together with 806 again!"

Chen Yiyi leaned back in disgust, wanting to get away from this greasy man. "You know this is fate, not love, so don't make this mess of things. Nobody's watching!"

Shen Lingfeng wasn't annoyed by the scolding, he just rolled his eyes and said, "What do you know? If we're meant to be, I'll find love!"

Lu Yuan laughed at that moment, "Don't be silly, that girl has good eyesight, she's not blind, there's no way she would be interested in you."

"What you're saying is a matter of personal taste. Some girls just like someone like me!" Shen Lingfeng said confidently.

Perhaps because he was in a particularly good mood, Qi Yanche joined them in complaining about Shen Lingfeng, saying, "Those girls must all be really short of oil at home."

Shen Lingfeng: "..." "One is influenced by one's company." Brother Yan has been assimilated by them!

The sun rose above the horizon and shone on Cheng Zhi and Xiao Feiran's faces.

Cheng Zhi turned away from the light source and mumbled to Xiao Feiran, "We have to go out again today. These curtains are too thin, they don't block out the light, and it's not safe."

Xiao Feiran didn't even open his eyes, but he nodded instinctively. "We have to go out and reinforce this house."

The five of them ate some bread and milk and then went out.

To avoid attracting attention, they left the villa area before Cheng Zhi took the car out of her spatial storage. The group drove to the nearest building materials market and bought the store's best blackout, heat-insulating, and soundproof curtains.

Xiao Feiran also carried a lot of bricks and cement, saying he wanted to upgrade the chicken coop.

Cheng Zhi also took a liking to the glass in the glass shop next door and wanted to make a large fish tank to put in the yard so that they would never have to worry about eating fish again.

As soon as the idea was proposed, everyone agreed.

Zheng Wan also got an oxygen pump from the fish tank in the tile shop next door.

"We have everything, but where are we going to get live fish?" Huang Yiyi asked.

This is indeed a problem. Cheng Zhi recalled that there seemed to be a fishpond on the way back to school.

The five of them got right to work, and after finding what they wanted in the building materials market, they set off back to school.

When they passed a gas station, the five of them stored a lot of oil in oil drums in their storage space, fearing that they would not have enough to use later.

When they were filling the tank, several moral exemplars stood up and said they were stealing oil and that they would take them to the police station. They obstructed them in every way.

Cheng Zhi initially ignored them, but their persistence annoyed her. Finally, everyone used fists and knives, scaring the men away.

Xiao Feiran wiped the blood off the blade. "I feel like they're deliberately stalling us, preventing us from pretending."

Looking out the window at the dilapidated buildings and wrecked vehicles, Cheng Zhi felt a pang of melancholy. "It's been a month. Someone should have realized this wasn't an ordinary disaster. I think they were also trying to load oil, but we got there first, so of course they panicked."

Upon hearing this, Chen Siyu visibly tensed up. "Everyone has realized that from now on, we'll have to fight for things."

Xiao Feiran patted Chen Siyu's head reassuringly, "We've stocked up on a lot of things, and we've even grown vegetables and raised chickens in our space. We don't need to come out and compete with them."

After driving for half an hour, the five of them finally arrived at the fishpond near the school. Cheng Zhi had barely stepped inside when a gruff male voice rang out, "What are you doing?! Stand there and don't move!"

The group in car 806 stopped the car. Not knowing what weapons the other party had, Cheng Zhi quickly said, "Boss, we're here to buy fish fry!"

A tall, burly man emerged from a nearby house, carrying a wooden stick as he slowly approached them. "Hmph, what time is it? You still have time to raise fish? You're definitely here to cause trouble!"

Standing behind, Huang Yiyi swallowed hard and chuckled lightly. "Uncle, we are all students at Jiang University, majoring in aquaculture. A while ago, a typhoon hit, and all our fish died. We came here to buy fish, otherwise we won't be able to hand in our assignments and will fail our courses."

"..." The bearded uncle was somewhat skeptical, but seeing that there were only five thin girls, he wasn't so hostile anymore. After thinking for a while, he asked again, "Are you really just here to buy fish fry?"

Cheng Zhi nodded, "I really came to buy fish. You remember Huang Can, right? She's my senior. She's the one who introduced me to you. She said your fish fry are of good quality and cheap."

Upon hearing the name of a familiar face, the uncle's hostility vanished completely. He put down his stick and asked them what kind of fish they wanted.
