Recalling the days when she was with Xiao Yi, she was always dressed in bright clothes and smiling. Whether attending a high-end party or a simple date, she always managed to become the focus of everyone's attention. However, everything is gone now.
The conditions inside the shelter were harsh, the air filled with an unbearable heat and humidity. Yu Wei's clothes were soaked through, sticking to her body and making her even more uncomfortable. She couldn't imagine the predicament she would have faced without this shelter.
In this apocalyptic world, Yu Wei has also undergone a profound change. She used to be a selfish woman, concerned only with her own interests and image. However, faced with the intense heat and the threat to her survival, she has gradually learned humility and gratitude. She has begun to reflect on her past and how to survive in such an environment.
Whenever night falls, Yu Wei will silently look out the window. She doesn't know what the world outside has become like, nor does she know if Xiao Yi is still alive. Her heart is filled with guilt and longing, hoping that one day she can reunite with Xiao Yi, apologize to him, and start over.
However, reality is cruel. The high temperatures and apocalyptic environment make survival extremely difficult. Yu Wei knows that she must persevere and live on, for herself and for those who, like her, are struggling through hardship.
In this dark and damp shelter, Yu Wei gradually learned to adapt and survive. She no longer relied on her glamorous appearance to prove herself, but instead relied on her inner strength to face difficulties. Although life was still difficult, she believed that as long as she persevered, there would always be hope.
Xiao Yi stood at the entrance of the shelter, scrutinizing every person who tried to enter with a sharp gaze. Since the high-temperature apocalypse, the shelter he led had become a lifeline for many survivors. Therefore, from time to time, people tried to sneak in by various means.
That day, a teenage girl caught Xiao Yi's attention. She was dressed in rags, her face was pale, her eyes were full of tears, and she looked pitiful. She walked up to Xiao Yi and said in a trembling voice, "Please, let me in. I have nowhere else to go."
Xiao Yi frowned slightly. He didn't agree immediately, but looked the little girl up and down. He had seen many such tricks and knew that there was often a bigger conspiracy behind them. He deliberately asked in a deep voice: "Why are you alone? Where are your family?"
The little girl seemed to be touched by this question. Tears rolled down her cheeks and she choked up and said, "They are all dead. I am the only one left."
Just as Xiao Yi was about to ask further questions, he keenly sensed something was wrong. He noticed that the little girl's hands were trembling slightly, as if she was hiding something. Moreover, although her eyes looked terrified, there was a hint of cunning hidden deep inside.
Xiao Yi's heart moved. He did not expose it immediately, but turned to the men behind him and said, "Take her in, but be careful."
The little girl was taken to the shelter, and Xiao Yi secretly arranged for people to catch the mastermind. Sure enough, not long after, a group of people hiding in the shadows began to stir. They tried to take advantage of the chaos to occupy the shelter, but were discovered by Xiao Yi in advance.
Xiao Yi smiled coldly. He quickly mobilized his men to surround these people. Faced with the sudden change, the group of people panicked, but soon they began to fight stubbornly. However, Xiao Yi and his men were experienced survivors, and they quickly subdued the group.
Xiao Yi walked up to the big man who was leading the group, slapped him hard, and said coldly: "Do you think I don't know your purpose? You want to occupy the magpie's nest? Don't you see where this is?"
The group was frightened by Xiao Yi's thundering methods and they begged for mercy and promised not to do it again. Xiao Yi looked at them coldly and said, "This time I am just giving you a lesson. If you dare to make trouble next time, I will never let you off easily!"
This small-scale conflict quickly subsided, but Xiao Yi knew that such temptations and provocations would probably occur again in the future. He had to remain vigilant at all times to ensure the safety of himself and his men. At the same time, he felt sorry for the little girl. She had learned to deceive and disguise at such a young age. In such an apocalyptic environment, it was really hard to predict what the future would hold.
In the depths of the ocean, despite the raging heat, there are still some tenacious fish that occasionally thrive here. These fish have become a rare source of food for the survivors. Xiao Yi knows this very well, so he often drives his modified speedboat across the ocean, looking for edible fish.
That day, Xiao Yi returned home with a full load. His speedboat was loaded with fresh fish, which shimmered silver in the sunset. Xiao Yi's face was filled with satisfaction and joy, knowing that these fish were enough to feed the people in the shelter.
However, when Xiao Yi returned to the shelter with the caught fish, he was blocked by a figure.
That was Yu Wei. She stood in front of Xiao Yi, her face pale and her body emitting a foul smell. Her eyes were fixed on the fish on the speedboat, with desire and greed in her eyes.
"Give me some fish." Yu Wei said in a weak voice.
Xiao Yi looked at Yu Wei, and the anger in his heart was instantly ignited. He remembered that Yu Wei had tried to frame him before, and she had viciously wanted to kill him. Now, she came to ask for food again.
"Why do you think I will give you fish?" Xiao Yi said coldly.
Yu Wei's body trembled. She didn't seem to expect Xiao Yi to reject her so directly. She tried to explain: "I... I'm just too hungry. I don't mean anything else."
