Jiang Yao looked at the insulated box in Xiao Mu's hand and thought that the medicine could be put inside the insulated box. After all, the space in the rubber boat was limited. As long as the insulated box was waterproofed, it could be tied to the back of the rubber boat and towed.
When Jiang Yao had almost finished organizing the medicines, Xiao Mu slowly said, "There are women's products on the 10th floor, and a food stall on the 13th floor. See if you need anything, you can go take a look." With that, the two went their separate ways.
Jiang Yao went to the 10th floor alone. It looked like this was a live broadcast room selling casual sportswear. She went to the sample room, which was filled with all kinds of sportswear.
Jiang Yao selected clothes according to her own size and plus size, put them into her space, kept two sets to put into her backpack, and also put the snacks she saw into her space to take with her.
Arriving on the 11th floor, I saw that it was a decoration company. I went in and rummaged around and found some drinks, as well as waterproof paint, security door samples, and other things I could take with me. Who knows what I might need in the future?
Go up 12 floors to a cosmetics company. Jiang Yao looked at the various high-end skincare products in the display case, found some tools, and smashed the glass of the display case. Regardless of whether they were usable or not, she just wanted to take them all.
Arriving at the 13th floor that Xiao Mu had mentioned, it really was a live-streaming e-commerce company. Inside the live-streaming room, there were various snacks, instant food, and alcoholic beverages on the table. Although there were many samples, the quantity was somewhat small. But that didn't matter; something was better than nothing.
Pack the food into your backpack, and store the heavy items like drinks in the storage space.
When Xiao Mu found Jiang Yao, Jiang Yao was dragging packed supplies into the stairwell.
He stepped forward and took the supplies from Jiang Yao's hands from behind. Jiang Yao looked up at Xiao Mu, and their eyes met. His deep voice sounded in her ear, "I'll take care of it."
Jiang Yao's body stiffened, she even held her breath, and her heart pounded.
We were way too close just now; Xiao Mu's skin is so good.
He looks kind of handsome...
After several trips back and forth, I carried the items to the tea room on the 7th floor and put them together with the packed medicines.
Xiao Mu led Jiang Yao to the 9th floor, which turned out to be a furniture design studio.
Looking at the solid wood furniture inside, Jiang Yao had only one thought: she would take it all with her when she left. If she didn't need it, she could keep it as firewood, but she couldn't leave it here to go to waste.
After a simple dinner, Jiang Yao took out a thermos filled with brown sugar ginger water that she had boiled that morning. They each drank a cup to ward off the cold and warm themselves up.
Xiao Mu walked into an office and said softly, "You'll sleep here tonight. I'll keep watch outside."
"We'll pack up our supplies tomorrow and then head back."
Jiang Yao watched Xiao Mu turn and leave, then lay down on the solid wood bed and slowly fell asleep, thinking about what had happened during the day.
At night, a rustling sound came from the corridor. Jiang Yao quietly got up, picked up the Hou Dao that was placed by the bed, and carefully walked out, only to see Xiao Mu standing behind the door with an axe in his hand.
Jiang Yao cautiously walked to Xiao Mu's side and whispered in his ear, "Has someone come in?"
"Will the rubber boat we left outside and the supplies on the 7th floor be discovered?"
Xiao Mu leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, while you were looking for something upstairs, I went out and hid the rubber boat."
"They won't be able to find it, and as for the supplies, they won't think we put them on the 7th floor."
As they were talking, a series of hurried footsteps came down the corridor. Judging from the sound, there were about seven people. They were saying that they had seen a man and a woman enter the building earlier that day, but hadn't seen them leave. They guessed that there must be a lot of food here.
The group discussed killing the man if they found him, and leaving some lewd things for the woman.
Xiao Mu's eyes were filled with coldness as he raised the axe in his hand, ready to strike at any moment if anyone entered.
Jiang Yao held her breath, gripped the Hou Dao tightly, and was ready to strike at any moment.
Someone pushed the door open and entered, saying, "See? I told you people can't hide here."
The fat man said, "Go inside and take a look. You guys continue searching upstairs."
With their backs to Jiang Yao and Xiao Mu, Jiang Yao showed no mercy and stabbed the skinny man. The skinny man screamed in fright after being injured.
Jiang Yao stabbed forward with her dagger, her attack swift and ruthless, severing the skinny man's artery and killing him.
Xiao Mu kicked the fat man to the ground. The fat man felt a pain in his waist and before he could get up, Xiao Mu's axe was already chopping down on his neck.
Upon hearing the noise, someone ran back with a weapon. Seeing the fat man and the thin man lying in a pool of blood, they began to curse loudly.
Jiang Yao attacked from the side again, taking down one person. The remaining person noticed the ambush, dodged to the side, and did not enter again.
Xiao Mu looked at the person in front of him, whose skills were clearly those of a trained fighter, and heard footsteps approaching.
With no other option but to resolve the situation quickly, Xiao Mu drew his gun from his waist, cocked it, and, hearing the footsteps getting closer, gestured for Jiang Yao to run over.
After understanding Xiao Mu's meaning, Jiang Yao saw him wave his hand and immediately ran towards him.
Xiao Mu got up and walked out, raised his gun, aimed at the target, and calmly fired several shots at the group. Bang bang—after a few shots.
The group of people fell to the ground, their blood spreading along the bullet wounds.
The gunfire stopped, and Jiang Yao, whose ears were ringing, walked out.
Xiao Mu dragged the bodies out, turned around and hesitated for a moment before slowly saying to Jiang Yao, "Go and rest!"
"I'm here, nothing will happen to you." He then reached out and ruffled Jiang Yao's hair to comfort her.
The night passed peacefully.
When Jiang Yao got up in the morning, she saw that Xiao Mu had prepared instant noodles for the two of them. Looking at the instant noodles in front of her, Jiang Yao could easily guess that he must have found them in the tea room.
This was the first time Jiang Yao had eaten a meal cooked by Xiao Mu, even though it was just a bowl of instant noodles.
After breakfast, Xiao Mu found the rubber boat. Jiang Yao looked at where he had hidden it and shook her head, thinking to herself that if she were to look for it, she really wouldn't be able to find it.
The two loaded the prepared supplies onto the boat, tied the insulated boxes containing medicine to the rubber boat with ropes, and rowed away.
Along the way, some people saw their supplies and tried to steal them, but when they saw the gun in Xiao Mu's hand, they could only stand by and watch.
After six hours of rowing, they finally reached the safe exit of the shelter. The two handed over the medicine towed behind the boat to Shen Xi, an official, and then received their reward and returned to the ninth floor with the supplies they had found.
Looking at the supplies the two had found and the tracksuit Jiang Yao had brought him, Shen Zhijie said, "Sure enough, good-looking people all have the same taste."
Jiang Yao handed the sportswear she had given to Xiao Mu over, saying, "This is for you."
Xiao Mu slowly reached out and took it with both hands. His deep eyes were fixed on Jiang Yao, and a gentle tenderness, which he rarely showed, was revealed in his eyes.
After discussing it, the three decided to divide the found supplies into two portions, one for each person.
After taking her portion home, Jiang Yao organized it and stored it in her spatial storage.
After rowing for a long time, Jiang Yao's arms were so sore that she couldn't lift them. All she wanted to do now was take a relaxing bath in the tub.
