Chapter 38 The Last Calm Before the End of the World (1)
"Sure enough!" Duan Lei was even happier than Tian Yao herself: "Find an ATM and let's see how much money your parents have deposited for you."
When Tian Yao mentioned her parents, her mood darkened again: "You're really good at chatting!"
"By the way, what about your parents? Do you not care about them anymore?"
"Of course I care. I plan to ask them to stay with Duan Xue that day," Duan Lei said with a sly smile, "Then we'll see how Duan Xue will try to get rid of us!"
"Let's keep this secret of yours together! Never let anyone else know!"
Being able to copy superpowers and, by the way, copy items in other people's spaces, how could such a heaven-defying thing be known to others? Tian Yao immediately said, "Of course, no one else can know!" In the apocalypse, being too heaven-defying and being envied, jealous, and hated by others would become a reason to be killed. You know, there are no rules in the apocalypse.
But the emerald green ring on Duan Xue's finger in her memory made her feel uneasy!
If it's a coincidence, there is no such coincidence!
Duan Lei saw Tian Yao staring at her fingers and asked, "What are you thinking?"
Tian Yao didn't intend to hide it from Duan Lei: "I remember it clearly. Duan Xue had an identical ring. I even saw it on her finger when she pushed me!"
"Why bother with this?" Duan Lei said nonchalantly, "If you like it, just snatch it from her when the time comes!"
"She is your sister after all. How can you speak so naturally about stealing her things?" Tian Yao said.
Duan Lei grinned: "Anyway, her fate is already determined! What's wrong with using the dead person's things?"
Tian Yao ignored him. They were killed by the same person and had the same goal, but she didn't want Duan Lei to become a cruel and ruthless person like Duan Xue: "I don't want you to become her!"
"I'm not her, and I won't become her," Duan Lei said with a smile. He just wanted to live a good life, but of course he also had to protect Tian Yao, the big fool. "I found a few empty basements that we can use first."
"Put the things you bought in there first, and then I'll collect them, and you can copy them." Duan Lei didn't ask how Tian Yao copied his supernatural powers. That was Tian Yao's secret, and he was happy to keep it for her. Since Tian Yao cared so much about Duan Xue's ring, he would help Tian Yao get the ring back.
"By the way, what do you want to buy? Let's make a plan first!"
Tian Yao quickly shifted her focus and stopped thinking about Duan Xue's ring: "Salt and various seasonings."
"Daily necessities, and that... sanitary napkin..."
"Food, lots of food..."
"I like reading novels, I want to buy a lot of books!"
After saying that, Tian Yao shook her head in amusement and said self-deprecatingly: "In the apocalypse, there's no time for me to comfortably read novels!"
"The list is ready. Come on, I'll take you shopping." Duan Lei had never seen the end of the world and didn't know what the future would be like. He and Tian Yao had space, superpowers, and supplies. As long as they were together, no matter how bad the end of the world was, how bad could it be?
During this day, they bought a lot of things and put them in the basement!
Duan Lei put the things he bought into his space, and Tian Yao copied them. Duan Lei's space was almost full, and Tian Yao's space was almost full too. "Sister Tian Yao, can I copy the same thing indefinitely?"
"No, it can only be copied once." If it could be copied many times, wouldn't they just find a safe place to hide? Tian Yao thought of a new question: "I wonder how the copied superpowers are upgraded? Is it the same as the naturally stimulated superpowers?"
"We'll talk about it later. Let's spend the money before the end of the world comes," Duan Lei said. "There are still hundreds of thousands of yuan in the card. What else can we buy?"
"We both have ice-type abilities, so we already have water. In the future, I'll have gold-type abilities, so I won't be lacking anything." Tian Yao thought for a moment. "Actually, I wanted a gun, but I guess that's all I can think about."
Duan Lei immediately thought of Lu District.
"Forget it, I won't think about anything unrealistic!" Tian Yao hadn't even considered the mainland area. She looked at her space and calculated the capacity: "Buy some high-energy compressed foods, chocolate, etc., and buy good chocolate!"
Compressed foods are very filling, and when combined with chocolate, they provide enough calories for a day.
"Leave this to me," Duan Lei spread a mat in the basement and casually lay down on it. "We still have more than 20 days left. Are we just going to huddle in the basement with our eyes wide open?"
"Go back to your home. I will come to find you when that day comes!" Tian Yao was worried. It was impossible for her to go home. That was her sad place.
If she went to Duan Lei's house and was met by Duan Lei's parents or Duan Xue, she would not be able to explain herself even if she had a mouth full of words.
"How about...you climb up my window too? My house is on the first floor," Duan Lei winked at Tian Yao. "When my parents are busy at work, they stay in the company dormitory and never come back!"
Hearing this, Tian Yao glared at Duan Lei. What a turn of events! Now it was her turn to climb onto the balcony.
To be honest, she really couldn't refute what Duan Lei said. If she wanted to stay in a hotel, she had to go home to get her ID. She couldn't live in the school dormitory either.
Seeing that Tian Yao seemed to be still hesitating, Duan Lei said, "Don't worry about Duan Xue either. How could she be willing to leave Yang Wen? If you accidentally run into her, just hide in the closet!"
He gestured to the size of the wardrobe at home.
"Luckily you're not fat!"
Tian Yao looked around the basement: "Actually, I can go here! No one comes here anyway!"
"No, how can a girl like you live here? I want to accompany you too!" Duan Lei objected immediately. How could Tian Yao's mediocre Taekwondo skills be used against a big man with bad intentions?
Tian Yao no longer had the energy to glare at Duan Lei: "I'm going to climb over the balcony!"
"You can surf the internet at the internet cafe at the entrance of the community during the day and come back when it's almost time," Duan Lei assured Tian Yao. "The internet cafe at the entrance of my community is very good! They also provide Western food, and you can take a nap if you're tired. I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"
Duan Lei took charge of purchasing supplies. For the rest of her time, Tian Yao either went to the gym or spent her time relaxing in an internet cafe, drinking coffee, surfing the internet, and occasionally having desserts. She had never been so comfortable in both her lives.
Duan Xue never looked for her once. Instead, Duan Lei often told her news about Duan Xue, but there was nothing special.
The only special thing is that Duan Lei discovered that Li Zhen also lives in this community!
How did Li Zhen know Duan Xue in his previous life? This made sense! They were freshmen who enrolled in the same batch and happened to live in the same neighborhood. Duan Xue's beauty and kindness captivated Li Zhen, and Tian Yao imagined a series of scenes.
Just like at Tian Yao's house, Duan Lei slept on the floor. He gave his bed to Tian Yao: "Isn't this too much of a coincidence? We live in the same neighborhood!"
"Yeah, how can I meet him by chance?" Tian Yao realized that her brain cells were not enough, and frowned worriedly: "If for nothing else, just to increase the friendship point, but how can I do it?"
"I have a way you can try," Duan Lei said with a smile, "but—I can't guarantee it will work!"
Tian Yao didn't care whether it worked or not. She just asked, "Then let's try it?"
Duan Lei smiled and agreed: "Okay——"
