Chapter 188 Everyone...
The moment the door lock clicked shut, everyone quickly scattered to check every corner.
The room was more basic than I had imagined: mottled walls, ten bunk beds with metal frames, and a small bathroom that smelled bad.
A faint light shone through the two windows with welded iron bars.
Chi Yanzhou: "The RV can't hold it all."
Lu Xici: "Even an air mattress won't fit!"
Lu Nange took out a folding recliner from her spatial storage: "Make do with these, they fit perfectly in a row."
"My dear sister—" He Zhuo clutched his chest, "How can I live without you!"
As soon as the guard who delivered the ice left, everyone immediately began to modify the environment.
With a wave of his hand, Lu Beiye sealed the window with gold, blocking out the odor from the bathroom, and even added protection to the door gaps.
Gu Wan: "How can there be such an amazing kid like our A-Ye!"
"Ah Ye—" He Zhuo exaggeratedly clutched his heart again, "How could I live without you!"
Gu Qi rolled his eyes: "Couldn't you at least use a different word?"
He Zhuo: "Aye, my darling, without you, I can't even imagine how much hardship I would have to endure!"
Everyone...
The ice buckets were neatly arranged in the corner, radiating a cool sensation.
Lu Nange selected some mild-tasting foods and took them out of her spatial storage.
Lu Nange: "Except for the area where we live, the rest of the place is covered by wire mesh."
Lu Xici: "Then we'll just have to wait until tomorrow to enter the inner city and do some scouting?"
Chi Yanzhou: "The meaning of 'guarding' is that residents of the inner city can go out to gather supplies. If they can't find a way out of the inner city... then we'll go out and search again."
......
After a quick meal, Lu Beiye waved his hand, and the golden barrier vanished.
With a flick of her fingertips, Lu Nange unleashed several miniature wind blades that swept the murky air out of the iron window.
Lu Nange used her mental energy to monitor the unusual movements around her...
As dawn broke, the scorching sunlight forced the last few survivors who were outside to return indoors.
Gu Qi pushed open the toilet window, took the disinfectant Lu Nange had given him, and poured it into the toilet. The sound of the high-pressure water jet continued for a full three minutes.
I washed again with minty shower gel, which covered up the odor.
Lu Nange used wind blades to sweep away the years of grime, and the dried tiles finally revealed their true colors.
Wen Qing tried turning the faucet: "There's water!"
The crowd gathered around, and water gushed from the tap—murky and rusty, but without any foul odor...
After cleaning the bathroom, everyone closed the doors and windows again and returned to the main house.
The vines silently climbed up the walls, and a dozen deck chairs filled the limited space perfectly. Under the golden screens all around, ice buckets that dripped water were neatly arranged.
Lu Beiye was sleeping on the recliner in the middle, with Lu Xici on his left and Lu Nange on his right.
Everyone was in a state of light sleep, barely breathing, as if they were in battle.
Until the afternoon—people gradually opened their eyes, and the rustling sounds brought everyone back to their senses.
Lu Nange put away the recliner, Lu Beiye removed the barrier, and everyone began to wash up one after another.
As the orange-red rays of the setting sun slanted through the iron bars of the window, Lu Nange exclaimed, "Someone's coming!"
Everyone immediately sprang into action, splashing the pre-collected rusty yellow water throughout the bathroom.
As the wind blades swept past, the water instantly evaporated, perfectly restoring the walls and floor to their state before their arrival.
"Knock knock knock!" A rough knocking sound rang out.
"Anyone breathing? If so, hurry up and get out! We're entering the inner city!"
Lu Xici flung open the door: "Coming."
Six unfamiliar men in red uniforms stood outside the door; the man in the lead had yellowed tape wrapped around the temples of his glasses.
He scanned the crowd, his eyes narrowing behind his glasses, and asked, "No mutations, no one died from the heat?"
The other five shook their heads.
The girl next to me with her ponytail ripped off her mask, revealing a joyful expression: "Thank goodness, we don't have to deal with corpses today."
When Lu Nange and her group stepped out of the room, they instantly became the center of attention—not only because of their towering height, but also because of their neat clothes and striking appearance.
He seemed out of place in this apocalyptic world.
The girl, who had just pulled down her mask, walked quickly over to the group and asked in a gentle voice, "Was she new last night?"
She reached out to tug at Chi Yanzhou's sleeve, but Chi Yanzhou dodged behind Lu Nange.
Lu Nange...
Lu Beiye...
Lu Xi Ci...
The rest of the people...
Chi Yi blocked with his arm, his muscles tense: "Step back..."
The bespectacled man grabbed the girl by the back of her collar and dragged her backward: "Behave yourself!"
He glared fiercely at the girl, then turned back to his businesslike expression: "Everyone, come with us."
Lu Nange held Lu Beiye's hand, and Gu Wan glanced at Lu Xici and the others out of the corner of her eye and saw that they were being secretly watched by another person in a red uniform. She couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Holding Lu Nange's arm and whispering in her ear, "I should have made those flirtatious girls wear masks too..."
