Chapter 174: The process of facing the truth
You Xi had never thought that one day, she would hear Zhao Xuefei's self-deprecating narration of her experience in such a casual way.
At the beginning of the disaster, she was indeed confused and naive for a while.
At that time, she and her mother had not moved to the air-raid shelter on the other side of the city, but stayed in the hotel.
After a terrible thunderstorm, the crazy growth of plants and various mutated animals, insects and birds overnight changed the whole world.
The rooms on the lower floors of the hotel building were no longer safe, and everyone was moving upwards, causing the rooms and various resources to slowly become tense.
She remembered Youxi's warning to her, and was glad that she only refuted it verbally at that time. That night, after eating seafood buffet, she passed by the supermarket and subconsciously went into it to buy a lot of things.
She was questioned by Yuli for this, but she knew her mother and did not dare to say that she wanted to buy because of Youxi's reminder. She just said that she wanted to buy.
Later, she thought that it was fortunate that she had these things as a foundation to support her, so that she would not panic all of a sudden after the disaster.
She originally thought that when the disaster came, Yuli's new dating partner would directly abandon her and her daughter and flee on his own, but he not only stayed, but also said that he had an older brother in the army, who was very capable and his son was also very powerful.
They were originally in the Ningcheng troops on Nanhai Island, very close to here, and would come here directly to pick them up.
Three days later, she met Zhou Ningyuan for the first time.
The man in the army was tall, strong, taciturn and sharp. In this crisis-ridden end of the world, Zhao Xuefei subconsciously admired him and had a good impression of him from the first sight.
At that time, they came with the entire army, and brought the people who were transferred from Ningcheng with them. There was a gentle young girl closely following him, who was the daughter of a supermarket boss in Ningcheng.
But for Zhao Xuefei, any man she liked, whether he had a woman who loved him or not, had nothing to do with her, as long as he was single and not in love, it was enough.
She has experience and confidence, and believes that the other party will be attracted to her in the end.
After a period of time, the troops stayed near the resort to collect supplies, and she almost forgot about the changes in the outside world, and was determined to take down Zhou Ningyuan. From then on, someone would protect her and hold her in the palm of her hand, and she didn't have to worry about it in this doomsday.
She saw Zhou Ningyuan getting close to the daughter of the supermarket, and thought that he liked this kind of gentle and loving type, so she played the role of the Virgin Mary to win his favor, and behaved in front of him in various ways, and indeed gave away a lot of her own accumulated food.
But how could she know that the daughter was not a white lotus at all, but a black one. The other party saw through her intentions, hated her existence, and used her father's connections to secretly calculate her.
The other party also took advantage of a girl who was taking refuge in the hotel and was very close to her, so that she was left alone without any defense and ran into a strange team. The people in that team were obviously not good people. She was knocked unconscious and taken away directly.
When she woke up, she had changed places. At first, she thought it was her bad luck to meet such a person with bad intentions, but when the other party laughed triumphantly and held her down and started to tear her clothes, she learned the truth from the other party's triumphant words.
Zhao Xuefei had had several boyfriends before, and this was not the first time. Although she was afraid and disgusted, she knew very well in her heart that in this situation where the enemy was strong and she was weak, only temporary obedience could save her life.
Compared with that matter and life, life is the most important, not to mention if she died, what would Yuli do?
She told herself that she had to endure and live as if she had been bitten by a mad dog.
But when she realized that she was not unlucky, but had been schemed by the supermarket daughter from beginning to end, she got angry.
At that time, because the other party's "big brother" had something to do, and the woman looked so delicate and weak that she could not withstand a single blow, and seemed to have accepted her fate, everyone else went to the outer room to avoid it.
Zhao Xuefei didn't know where she got the strength from, she grabbed the broken chair next to her and smashed it hard on the man's head.
The other party was caught off guard and was hit directly. She hit him a few more times without thinking, and before the others outside noticed the movement and rushed in, she ran directly to the window, opened the window and jumped downstairs.
That was the second floor, and she was ready to break her arms and legs.
She was willing to admit it, but the thing she hated most in her life was to admit defeat to others!
Especially the kind of woman who wanted to harm her in such a vicious way, she would go back and give her a few slaps even if her arms and legs were broken!
She was lucky that she didn't break her arms and legs, but just sprained them. She struggled to get up and ran away while falling, and finally fell in front of a pair of military boots. She looked up and saw Zhou Ningyuan's face.
Zhou Ningyuan came out to find her because of his uncle's face. Youli was a cautious person, and there was still a signal at the time. She couldn't find her daughter and couldn't get through to her on the phone, so she immediately asked Zhou Guoxiang for help.
After that, Zhou Guoxiang went to find Zhou Ningyuan.
Zhou Ningyuan had a lot of things to do every day, and he never paid attention to the open and secret struggles between women.
In other words, with his IQ, he actually knew what those women thought of him, but he didn't think it was necessary to care. Now that things are like this outside, he has endless tasks to deal with every day, so how can he have the mind to engage in these romantic affairs between men and women.
That day, because of Zhou Ningyuan's appearance, the team failed to escape in time and was captured by him and his team members.
At that time, Zhou Ningyuan looked at her, not knowing whether he was afraid that she would misunderstand, so he told her with a cold face that he was not interested in her, and now that things are so chaotic outside, he has no intention of talking about love.
The reason why he led the team to find her and rescue her this time was for his uncle's sake, because his uncle didn't want her mother to worry and be sad.
After he coldly distanced himself from the matter, he originally wanted to carry Zhao Xuefei into the car and let the team members take her back first, but Zhao Xuefei refused.
She borrowed an iron rod from him, limped into the building, found the man who had pressed her and molested her, and beat him down with one stick.
Because it was the first time she did such a thing, her whole body was shaking, and so was her hand holding the iron rod.
The man in front of her screamed in pain, rolled on the ground in pain, spitting out all kinds of curses, and vowed to teach her a lesson in the future.
Zhao Xuefei held the weapon tightly in her hand, her lips were pale, her hair was disheveled, and her clothes were disheveled. She looked like a madman, but she looked at him and said word by word: "Okay, I'll wait for you!"
Before she turned around and left, she limped to Zhou Ningyuan and thanked him.
No matter how bad his attitude was just now, he saved her today, she owed him one, and she remembered it.
This matter is not Zhou Ningyuan's fault, but her own fault for not being clear-headed and refusing to face this real world.
She has to become stronger, at least strong enough to protect herself, and she has to protect Yuli...
From that day on, the real world belonging to Zhao Xuefei officially kicked off.
**
After two marshmallows, a cup of snow-top latte iced coffee, a box of cumin fried chicken wings and a coconut milk fruit whisk, Zhao Xuefei's story is over.
In the air-conditioned and cool RV, Zhao Xuefei sat in the armchair opposite the dining table, tilting her head to look at the blue sky outside the car window.
She didn't know what was wrong with her. Since that day, she never said these things in front of others, even Yuli, because she knew her and was afraid that she would worry, she never said it.
Even when she started physical training, learning fighting, and was covered in injuries every day, she never complained in front of her.
But the boy in front of her, whom she had just met, made her have a strange desire to vomit. She even changed her vigilance towards strange men, got into his RV, and accepted his food.
This was too strange...
But inexplicably, when he looked at her, she had a familiar sense of security, as if they were friends she had known for a long time, as if... she had been well protected by him before.
But she clearly just met him for the first time today...
"Is your mother with that man now?"
"No, my mother agreed to marry him on impulse, but now it's the end of the world, who can she show her impulse to? She was afraid that after she really married him, she would become estranged from me, and she was also afraid that he would be insincere and mean to me, so she refused. But Uncle Zhou is a good person, and he still takes good care of my mother in the base."
"What about the daughter of the supermarket tycoon?" When You Xi asked this question, her tone unconsciously became a little colder.
"Her? She's well-informed. Before Zhou Ningyuan captured everyone from that team and went back, she had already packed up and ran away. The other girl is also missing. I don't know if they left together... At present, the daughter seems to be in another official shelter. I'm not sure."
Zhao Xuefei snorted, "If she knows what's going on, she should stay away from me. As long as she appears in front of me, I will slap her every time she deserves it. Less."
You Xi also hummed: "Well, those who need to be taught a lesson should be taught a lesson. People can be kind, but they cannot be bullied."
Zhao Xuefei looked at the other party, and a warm current surged in her heart. She couldn't help but: "Have I seen you before?"
You Xi looked at her cousin's face, which was tanned and completely without makeup. She took a tissue to wipe the cream off the corners of her lips. When she was about to speak, she heard someone knocking on the side window of the RV.
You Xi and Zhao Xuefei turned their heads at the same time. The man outside the window lowered his head slightly, revealing a cold and handsome face.
He looked at the two people in the RV with a frown on his face. His eyes passed over the boy's hand and finally landed on Zhao Xuefei: "What are you doing?"
Zhao Xuefei raised the empty coffee cup in her hand: "My friend and I are having a drink."
"Have you completed your mission today?"
You Xi couldn't help but look at him more. If the team members didn't complete the mission, why didn't they just send someone over? Why did they come in person?
Zhao Xuefei rolled her eyes: "Damn it."
"Zhao Xuefei, stop swearing and get out of the car."
Although Zhao Xuefei was reluctant, she still took the mission very seriously. Since she had made up her mind to take care of herself, she had to do what she had to do as long as she was in the team for one day.
She greeted him, thanked him for his hospitality, and said that she would come back after her mission was completed. She had a gift for him and asked him not to leave so quickly.
"I will leave after dark." Mainly because she promised You Feng and Fan Qi that she would go home for dinner, and this place was beyond the ten-kilometer range, and the transparent cell phone could not be used for contact. If she didn't go back, they would definitely worry. Anyway, it
would only take a second to go back, but it would take some time to come back.
But now that she knew Zhao Xuefei and You Li were here, she would definitely come again.
"Okay, I should be back around that time." Zhao Xuefei got out of the car in a hurry, thinking about her mission. When she got to the other side of the car window, she saw the man in the RV leaning against the window and waving goodbye to her, so she waved back, "Nice to meet you!"
Zhao Xuefei strode away, but Zhou Ningyuan fell behind, looking back at the young boy in the car with a frown.
He was mixed-race, with delicate looks, a handsome smile, and obviously much younger than Zhao Xuefei.
She actually... would be interested in this type of opposite sex?
How could You Xi not feel the scrutiny from the other side? She didn't dislike him, but after putting herself in Zhao Xuefei's shoes, she didn't like him much either.
He swore that he wasn't interested, so what was he doing now?
She exchanged a glance with the other person, reached out to take the cardboard with "Closed" written on it, and replaced it with the one that said "Open".
After Zhou Ningyuan turned and left, he walked to the team members waiting inside the iron fence and said, "Go check what's going on with that Star House?"
"Yes, Captain."
**
At 7:30 in the evening, You Xi drove into the dense forest with Zhao Xuefei's gift. After a while, the RV disappeared.
The next second, You Xi returned to the simulated apartment with constant temperature and oxygen, which was comfortable and refreshing.
The apartment was filled with the aroma of food. Fan Qi had already prepared dinner and was sitting on the sofa, watching a show and waiting for her.
You Feng stood at the floor-to-ceiling window and kept looking out. I don't know what he was looking at.
"Mom and Dad, I'm back."
Hearing her voice, You Feng immediately turned around and pointed to the beach outside the French window and said, "Xixi, come over and see if those people are from Weijie's team? Why do they seem to be fighting with someone?"
Hearing the voice, You Xi stopped what she was going to say and walked to the French window.
