"Uncle Zhou, look how tired our people are. Is anyone on the second floor?"
Zhou Xinran shoved his sister's mischievous hand away. Poor kid, she was about to tear his clothes off.
"There's no one on the second floor. We just went up to check. It's a bit dirty, but that's how it is everywhere these days." Zhou Li immediately breathed a sigh of relief, his attitude becoming much more sincere.
"Of course, we're just grateful to have a place to stay. Uncle Zhou, we're going upstairs now. We might make a bit of a commotion while we wash up, but we'll be done quickly. Please bear with us."
Zhou Xinran and Zhou Li were still exchanging polite formalities. The apocalypse had only been going on for a month, and people were still maintaining some pretentious social etiquette.
After receiving permission, Zhou Lerui took the lead and went upstairs. She wanted to remove her makeup and go to sleep as soon as possible; she was exhausted after the day.
The others followed him upstairs, leaving only Peng Yu to politely accompany Zhou Xinran.
After they finished socializing, Peng Yu and Zhou Xinran went up to the second floor, and the people on the first floor all breathed a sigh of relief.
"He doesn't look like a bad person." Zhou Li's elderly mother sat back down on the sofa and relaxed.
“Grandma, bad guys don’t write words on their faces.” Zhou Li’s son is still in high school and is a thin boy.
“Even if he has ill intentions, we don’t need to be afraid. We still have Mingliang and me.” The speaker was the son of Zhou Li’s old neighbor. The young man was named Zhao Zheng, a power user. He was about the same height as Zhou Li’s son and still had a childish face.
"Yes, we two brothers will protect everyone." Du Mingliang is Zhao Zheng's childhood friend. He has awakened the speed ability and lives in the same building as Zhou Li.
Most of them were neighbors who had fled from S Province and had supported each other since the apocalypse.
Previously, they had been relying on the food stored up by the elderly to survive at home. It was only after hearing the announcement that a nearby survivor base had been built and was recruiting people that they risked going out to seek refuge at the base.
With about a day or two's drive to the protection station, everyone had relaxed considerably, but the arrival of Zhou Xinran and his group made them tense again.
“These guys don’t seem like bad guys to me, but we still need to be careful. Xiao Wen, you young people will have to work hard and keep watch at night.”
Zhou Li was temporarily the leader of this group, and he always had more to do than others.
"Don't worry, Dad, we'll take care of things tonight," Zhou Li's son, Zhou Wen, replied.
"Uncle Zhou, you can rest assured and leave the night watch to us young people." Zhao Zheng was as enthusiastic and cheerful as before the apocalypse. He had killed almost all the zombies along the way.
The people shared the meat roasting over the brazier, arranged for the night watchmen, and then went to sleep.
There are three rooms on the second floor, one for adults and one for children. Xia Feng and Lin Xuan will naturally stay together, and they will sleep in the smallest room.
The remaining two large rooms were separated, one for men and one for women.
Zhou Xinran and Peng Yu also decided to arrange for someone to keep watch at night, as they were afraid that someone might come to harm them in this desolate wilderness.
With the injured Shen Youan and Peng Ze excluded, and the girls not having much fighting power, Zhou Xinran, Peng Yu, Cao Zhiyong, and Xia Feng were the only ones who could keep watch in pairs.
Xia Feng wasn't familiar with the others, so he stayed up with Zhou Xinran for the rest of the night.
Lin Xuan brought a small bucket and asked Sun Youmei for some water to wash up.
Xia Feng pushed aside the autistic boy who was trying to follow him in with a small pillow and slammed the door shut.
Zhou Lerui grabbed Peng Ze by the ear and dragged him away.
"Why are you following that couple around? Hurry up and get my makeup remover out..."
Miss Zhou was still outside the door, complaining about how dirty the room was and how bad the food was.
Lin Xuan then led Xia Feng into the space.
Little Yellow pounced on the two servants who were rarely seen, clearly dissatisfied. Xia Feng quickly picked it up and stroked its fur.
Lin Xuan ignored the green tea cat and went straight to the bathroom. She hadn't pooped all day and felt terrible.
Xia Feng was cooking in the kitchen, and Xiao Huang was sitting on his shoulder, chatting with him.
"If I lean against you like this, will you, human, be angry? Unlike me, I only feel sorry for Geigei~ Meow!"
The kitten suddenly let out a pitiful cry as it was roughly grabbed by the scruff of its neck and thrown out.
Lin Xuan, who was in a good mood after finishing her business, came out and saw the little gay cat snuggling up to her boyfriend.
Grabbing the cat by the neck and throwing it backward, the kitten quickly adjusted its angle in the air and landed steadily. The person and the cat then started hurling insults at each other.
"Meow meow meow, meow meow..." Shameless woman, trying to seduce my boyfriend.
Lin Xuan puts her hands on her hips.
"Meow meow meow meow, woof woof~~" Geigei clearly prefers me.
Little Yellow Ha Ta.
"Meow, meow~" He's just playing around with you, but he's truly in love with me.
Lin Xuan used her invisible vines to entangle the cat, then leaped onto the sofa and pinned it down.
"Awoooooo~~" I won't listen, I won't listen.
The kitten struggled fiercely, its fur standing on end.
"Hehehehehehe... You little punk, you're still too green to mess with me." Lin Xuan smiled wickedly, rubbing Little Yellow's big face with satisfaction.
"Dinner's ready, Xiao Bao." Xia Feng carried a small stainless steel bowl for the two of them. He had made some tomato noodle soup and would have Xiao Bao take some steamed buns he had made before leaving. Dinner would be simple.
Lin Xuan was already starving. She took out steaming hot buns and two large jianbing guozi from the warehouse and sat down at the table to start eating.
"Go wash your hands. You've been playing with the cat for so long, you'll have germs." Xia Feng swatted away Lin Xuan's paw that was reaching for the big bun, determined not to let her use her dirty little hands to eat.
Lin Xuan obediently went to wash her hands, and Xiao Huang, who had originally wanted to complain, completely lost her composure.
"Meow, meow, hoohoo~~" You actually think I'm dirty. You used to call me your little darling, but now you complain that I have bacteria on me. You scumbag and heartless man.
