This time we brought back a lot of supplies, including food, drinks, daily necessities, and various plants and animals.
Huo Sijin pulled a sack out of a pile of things and walked towards Qin Su.
"Look, I brought you something good."
Qin Su blushed, and the words he had whispered in her ear as he left unconsciously came to mind.
"Whatever you want, I will bring it back to you."
His gaze unconsciously fell on the sack, and he was curious about what Huo Sijin had brought.
As the sack was opened, the white down, the round body, and the distinctly rat-like smell dispelled all ambiguity.
Everyone else is starving, but these mice have grown big and strong while still maintaining their white fur. That's really strange.
"I found these white mice at the city hall."
There's certainly no cannibalism in the city hall, so these mice must have grown up stealing food from the city hall's granary.
But didn't the city run out of food? How did they manage to fatten up these lab rats without even realizing it?
Suddenly, Qin Su thought of those supplies.
"You didn't steal anything from the city government, did you?"
Huo Sijin smiled wickedly: "This doesn't belong to the municipality; it belongs to some big rats."
“They openly raised funds and distributed them according to the number of people, but in reality, they appropriated the grain for themselves and did not care about the life or death of those who handed over the grain.”
Qin Su understood; these bastards were using their identities to steal grain!
"So you took all their grain back?"
"No, they had stockpiled a lot of food, and I gave most of it to the disaster victims."
Qin Su nodded, "That's fine too."
Anyway, they don't lack food. If they bring back too much stuff, it will only attract attention.
Watching everyone cheer over the returned grain, Qin Su sighed.
These things were brought back at great personal risk!
"Take them to rest first, and tell them about what's happening outside tomorrow."
Since communication has been cut off, those who go out must share information so that everyone knows what is happening outside.
After saying that, Qin Su picked up the white mouse, intending to go to the laboratory to study it.
The size of this white mouse is clearly different from the previous ones; it must have undergone some kind of mutation.
"etc."
His large, warm hands enveloped her small hands, the sensation sending shivers down her spine.
"Is there anything else?"
Qin Su felt that she was losing her composure when she spoke.
"Didn't you say you were going to cripple Gu Mobai? I haven't told you about this yet."
Qin Su thought that since they had been out stealing supplies and distributing food, they probably wouldn't have had time to cripple Gu Mobai.
"Of course, I will keep my promise to you."
Huo Sijin took out her phone, turned on the screen, and played the video.
In the video, Huo Sijin lifts Gu Mobai up as if he were a chick.
Gu Mobai begged for mercy, but his pleas were gradually swallowed up by the fist that turned into a blur.
In the end, he lay on the ground like a dead dog, unable to move.
Huo Sijin then took out a knife and severed his tendons in his hands and feet.
The video ended, and Gu Mobai, with his sinister eyes wide open, sent out a message of no return.
Are you satisfied?
Qin Su was surprised. How did he guess her thoughts?
She wanted to teach Gu Mobai a lesson, and she also wanted him to live so he could experience the suffering brought by the apocalypse.
She didn't mind Gu Mobai hating her at all; it was the hatred that made her feel bad.
She suffered for so many years in her past life, how could she let him die a quick and painless death?
"Very satisfied."
However, Huo Sijin's insight is too sharp, so she needs to be more cautious in the future.
Huo Sijin may be capable enough and loyal enough for now, but who knows what will happen in the future?
It seems she still needs to develop a gene-altering drug as soon as possible to make herself more powerful.
"You've done a great job this time. You can name your reward."
Huo Sijin could clearly sense the distance in Qin Su's tone. What was wrong with this woman now?
Was he wrong? This woman still couldn't bear to part with Gu Mobai?
"I don't need a reward; I'm doing this for you voluntarily."
For some reason, he also became a little angry.
That weakling is nothing to be reluctant about.
After saying that, he turned and left.
He was afraid he would lose control and pry open the woman's head to see if she had something bad inside, and how could she have fallen for someone like Gu Mobai?
Watching his departing figure, Qin Su bit her lip, feeling a pang of sadness.
But in the apocalypse, survival is the most important thing, isn't it? Her caution is simply to protect herself.
Huo Sijin was a good person, everyone at the resort was a good person, and she could be good to them too. However, a voice inside her kept telling her not to give everything away so easily again.
She feared that in this life, she would be just like in the last, easily giving her heart away only to die a gruesome death.
She silently returned to her room. Xu Jingzhi thought she wasn't feeling well, so she brought the food to her room and touched her forehead with concern.
"Miss, if you're not feeling well, please don't push yourself."
Qin Su's gaze was somewhat lost.
"Aunt Zhi, if one day you find out I'm hiding a secret, will you still treat me this well?"
Xu Jingzhi felt a pang of pain in her heart. Her mistress had been hurt so deeply by her family that she was so distressed by the secret she was keeping.
"Of course, young lady. Everyone has secrets. Isn't it normal to have secrets?"
"You're so kind to everyone, so it's only right that everyone is kind to you. Even if they discover you're hiding a secret, they will still protect you and will never leave you because of it."
"Yeah?"
Qin Su opened her eyes, her sorrow tinged with a hint of expectation.
The apocalypse is so terrible, if she could, she wouldn't want to be alone!
"Of course, Miss. You are the most important person in our entire resort. You are like our angel. How could we bear to make you sad..."
Qin Su felt a little bit of comfort in her heart.
Overwhelmed with worries, she slowly fell asleep with Xu Jingzhi's comforting words.
Xu Jingzhi covered her with the blanket, sighed, and left.
Upon opening the door, I saw Huo Sijin standing in the doorway, seemingly lost in thought.
"The young lady seems strong and optimistic, but the trauma she has suffered makes it difficult for her to accept the people around her as easily as a normal person."
Xu Jingzhi had previously worked as a psychological counselor, and through Mo Rongguang, she learned about Qin Su's family situation, making her arguably the person in the entire resort who knew Qin Su best.
"Can you tell me about your psychological trauma?"
After Huo Sijin left, she realized that Qin Su's reaction was abnormal, so she went back and overheard the conversation.
At that moment, his anger had dissipated, leaving only worry.
