"Well done!"
Qin Su praised, "But it's not a good time to eat right now. I'll make you something delicious after we leave Yucheng."
Xie Erxun was already flattered by the praise and didn't care much about the food anymore.
"I will obey my master's will."
The two stayed in the space for another two hours, until the people from Yucheng had completely disappeared before they came out.
"Yes, without those demons, even the air feels fresher."
Qin Su took a deep breath, finally getting rid of the pungent smell of blood that had hit her when she first entered Yucheng.
rustling...
Suddenly, familiar voices came from all around.
"Master, it's those trees."
As before, the trees lined up to bid them farewell as they left Yucheng.
"Master, do those trees dislike those people from Yucheng, which is why they divided up the land?"
Qin Su looked back at the big tree that was "waving" at them. Compared to those people from Yucheng, these trees had no ill intentions at all.
"Probably."
As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, and so do people. The same applies to plants that have awakened their consciousness. They did not want to become the same kind of demons as the people of Yucheng, so they completely separated themselves from the people of Yucheng.
"Master, will anyone else come after Yucheng?"
"Yes, Yucheng is a necessary route for many cities. Even if it is dangerous, they will still try."
After all, in the apocalypse, everyone is looking for a chance to survive, and crossing cities is quite normal.
After leaving Yucheng, their next stop was Luocheng.
Luocheng was once a land of plenty, rich in resources, and its people lived a prosperous life. The income of ordinary people was higher than the average salary in big cities.
After the apocalypse arrived, they had food in their hands, and their lives were better than in any city they had ever seen before.
Unlike the bustling streets of Yucheng, which are filled with the smell of blood, the streets of Luocheng are full of the feeling of the 1970s and 80s.
They bartered goods without any intention of forcing anyone to exchange them, and their lives were relatively harmonious.
Qin Su gradually grew tired as she walked.
"Hello, are you looking for a hotel? A room costs only one pound of coarse grains per night."
A little girl came up to greet her, and Qin Su was taken aback.
"It's the apocalypse, and you're still running a hotel?"
The little girl explained with a smile, "Every day, people from other cities come to exchange goods. They live far away and need to stay overnight. My family used to run a hotel, and that's how we made a living."
Following the young girl into the hotel, I found it to be quite clean and tidy.
The shop owner, who was the little girl's mother, beamed with joy when she saw Qin Su and Xie Erxun.
"Please come in, both of you, and have some hot tea first."
It's called hot tea, but it's really just plain water. But being able to sit in the clean hall and drink tea at this time is still quite nice.
"Are you booking one room or two?"
The woman's gaze swept back and forth between the two, and she felt that they didn't seem like a couple.
"We need two adjacent rooms."
"Okay!"
The woman arranged the innermost room for the two of them.
"Although these two rooms are at the very back, there are few people coming and going, so they are safe."
Perhaps thinking that the two men looked fair-skinned and had little ability to protect themselves, the woman made some special arrangements.
"Okay, thank you, boss lady."
The room contained only a bed, a small table, and a small chair; it looked very simple. However, in the apocalypse, such conditions were already quite good.
Qin Su went straight to bed, pulled up the covers, and fell asleep.
I haven't slept outside my space in a long time, but this time I slept quite well. When I woke up the next afternoon, I heard a commotion outside.
"This house was already awarded to me, why should you take it back?"
The proprietress was angry, but also felt a great deal of grievance.
"Damn it, it's the apocalypse already, and you're still talking to me about the law? I've already given you enough time to vacate the house. If you don't get out, then you can blame me for kicking you out!"
"Dad, you can't do this! What will Mom and I do without the house?"
The little girl who brought Qin Su to the hotel cried out.
"Do you think I care about you? You're all a money-loser, get out of my way!"
As the man spoke, he was about to kick away the little girl who was clinging to his leg.
The little girl was only eight years old; how could she withstand such a kick?
Seeing the little girl being kicked away, the proprietress rushed over to catch her with bloodshot eyes, but she was too slow and couldn't catch her daughter in time.
"Manman!"
The proprietress screamed in anguish.
A figure swept through the air like a nimble swallow, and before anyone could see what was happening, the person had already landed on the ground with the little girl in their arms.
"elder sister!"
The little girl was terrified. When she saw Qin Su, all the fear in her heart burst into tears.
"Don't be afraid, it's alright now."
The proprietress rushed over, crying, and hugged the little girl tightly.
"Manman, Manman, Mommy's Manman..."
The proprietress breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the little girl was alright.
"Miss Qin, thank you so much! You are our savior!"
"I'll repay you after I kill that man!"
The proprietress, who could run a hotel in the apocalypse, was no pushover. If it weren't for the fact that the man was the father of her child, she wouldn't have tolerated his insolence.
But this scumbag is inhuman; he even tried to kick his own daughter to death. What's the point of keeping someone like that around?
The man's expression changed when he saw her rushing over with a kitchen knife.
"Zhang Qingqing, what are you doing?"
The proprietress brandished a kitchen knife, determined to fight that scumbag to the death!
"Zhang Qingqing, if you kill me, Manman will have no father."
When the man realized the landlady was serious, he panicked and ran around in all directions. The woman he brought with him even pulled him in front to shield him from the knife, making the whole scene quite chaotic.
"Manman hasn't had a father for a long time!"
The little girl's face was streaked with tears. Her father didn't want her, and she didn't want her father anymore either. Her mother was enough for her.
"You heartless brat! I raised you all these years, and you don't even recognize me!"
The man wanted to start cursing again, but he was frightened by his parents' kitchen knife and kept backing away. As a result, he stepped on the wrong step and his fat body rolled down like a ball.
"Oh my God, honey, are you alright?"
Seeing that the proprietress hadn't chased after them with a knife, the glamorous woman ran out to help the man.
"Zhang Qingqing, you just wait!"
The man got up in a disheveled state, and as he left, he uttered some harsh words.
"I'm sorry you had to see this."
Zhang Qingqing composed herself and said helplessly to Qin Su.
"It's alright, everyone has their share of troubles. It's nothing."
The woman smiled bitterly: "You saved Manman, and I should have repaid you properly, but that man will definitely send people to retaliate, and this hotel will probably have to close down completely."
"Miss Qin, I still have some food at home. I'll give you some later. You should leave here quickly. That man is very vengeful and may also be plotting to kill you."
The woman said she was packing supplies, trying to escape.
"Don't be afraid, we'll stay here. If they dare to come again, we'll make sure they don't leave alive!"
Qin Su snorted coldly. Now that she had seen it, there was no reason for her to ignore it. Scumbags like that had to be nipped in the bud!
