"Then what?"
Zhao Meili hopes to get the latest news about her father.
"And that's it! Besides, I didn't even know him back then, otherwise..."
"I see!"
Zhao Meili seemed somewhat frustrated.
"The communication system is much better now, haven't you called him?"
Ye Lei also knew that the questions were actually pointless.
“I’ve been calling him every day, but it’s either a dead line or his phone is off. I was worried something had happened to him, so I thought of you!”
In that case, everything makes sense, and she can't think of anyone who can help her.
"So what do you want me to do?"
"I also want you to take this photo with you. When you go out, if you encounter any survivors, please ask them for help. If they are in danger, you can lend a helping hand to save their lives."
In this post-apocalyptic world, everything has become so desolate and dilapidated.
Everywhere you look, there are ruins and wreckage. The once bustling city has now become a desolate wasteland.
Those who should have died have turned into terrifying zombies, roaming the ruins, ready to pounce on any living prey.
In such an environment, finding other survivors is far more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack.
"Okay, I understand."
Ye Lei took the photo down from the frame and put it into his storage space. Zhao Meili, who had been absent-minded, did not suspect anything about the photo's sudden disappearance.
"So, what are you going to do next?"
Ye Lei got dressed and prepared to leave.
"I don't know either, there's basically nothing left to eat here."
"Then come with me!"
She is Ye Lei's woman now, and he has to take responsibility for her.
"To the shelter you built on the hill behind the school?"
"Yes, isn't it great?"
"But I don't want to go."
Why?
Ye Lei couldn't understand why she wasn't interested in a place that so many people were fighting tooth and nail to go to.
“I watched the video. There must be quite a few people living there. I don’t want to be with them. I prefer a quieter place.”
I see. As Zhou Binhui and his classmates gradually clear the campus zombies, it should become safer. Since she doesn't want to go, we won't force her.
Do you cook here?
"Of course you can, but we don't have any ingredients left!"
"That's good."
Ye Lei took out a lot of ingredients from his spatial storage, and the narrow passageway immediately became a bit crowded.
This time, Zhao Meili's eyes widened, and she asked, "What... what's going on?"
"These ingredients should be enough for you to eat for a while. And this walkie-talkie, I've already set it up for you. If you need anything, just call out and I'll know right away."
In this apocalyptic world, with intermittent cell phone signals, walkie-talkies offer a more reliable signal.
Zhao Meili took the walkie-talkie, seemingly not quite understanding what was happening yet.
"However, there seems to be a problem with the electricity here. The power goes out frequently for no reason. In this hot weather, without a refrigerator, these foods will rot very quickly."
"Oh, is that so? Watch me then."
After Ye Lei finished speaking, he walked to the corridor, took out a small generator he had collected in Happiness Park from his spatial storage, placed it in the corridor, and then connected the wires.
Do you know how to use this?
"Yes, I know how to use it."
Zhao Meili felt as if Ye Lei had performed magic, suddenly fulfilling all her needs.
"Is there anything else?"
Ye Lei was planning to leave. He had been here for quite a while and was afraid that the girls in the shelter would worry about him.
"Yes, not for now."
"Okay, I'm leaving then. You can keep this for self-defense."
Ye Lei took out a Type 54 pistol from his spatial storage, loaded it with magazines, and handed it to her.
This startled Zhao Meili, who took a step back and dared not accept it.
Is this true?
"Of course it's real. Why would I use a toy gun to scare people?"
"But...but I've never touched it."
"You're free now, aren't you? Do some research. If you encounter anyone who's a threat to you, just kill them. It's the apocalypse now, no police will come after you, understand?"
"Uh-huh"
Zhao Meili seemed to understand and nodded.
"Okay, I'm off. Just call me on the walkie-talkie if anything happens."
Ye Lei felt that everything was arranged, so he put down his pistol, went out, and walked downstairs.
When they got downstairs, Zhao Meili leaned out the window and called out, "Ye Lei, remember to come visit often!"
Ye Lei slowly raised his head, his gaze fixed on the other person, a slight smile playing on his lips, revealing a hint of barely perceptible pride and satisfaction.
He replied softly, "I understand." The woman in front of him was once the goddess in the hearts of many boys on campus!
Yet now, this goddess, who was once so high and mighty, has been conquered by him.
If I were to tell this story to others, I'm afraid even I would feel like I was in a dream.
Back at the shelter, everyone heard the door open and rushed out.
"Brother Lei, you're finally back!"
"Brother Lei, did Zhao Meili give you any trouble?"
"Brother Lei, we're really worried about you!"
…………
"Alright, alright, it's okay now. She's one of you now."
Ye Lei said with a smile.
"Brother Lei, are you saying that Zhao Meili is your woman now?"
"What? Is it not allowed? Hehe..."
"No, that's not true. Lei is so amazing. Any woman who gets Lei's attention is lucky."
"Really? But you didn't think that way at the beginning, did you?"
Looking at the beautiful women in front of him, Ye Lei thought back to how he had gone to great lengths to get his hands on each of them.
"You just met her, but I didn't see her come with you?"
"Oh, she said she likes quiet and lives alone, so she didn't come."
"Is that so? Perhaps they are too proud and look down on us, unwilling to associate with us!"
"Haha... I don't know about that, but I've made all the arrangements. I left her a walkie-talkie, so she can contact you if she needs anything."
"That's more like it. In the end, it still depends on us."
"Alright, let's go in. We've been running for so long, I'm starving."
Ye Lei didn't need to explain too much to them, and they didn't need to know.
"Don't worry, we've already prepared everything and are just waiting for you to come back for dinner!"
It seems these women are getting to know Ye Lei better and better, and understand his basic need for food when he gets home.
"Let's go, my girls!"
Ye Lei entered the villa with two women on his left and right. Sure enough, the dining table was already filled with a variety of delicious dishes, just waiting for the owner of this shelter to take his seat.
