Chapter 17 The Collapse of Order



Today is June 19th, the fourth day since the true end of the world began.

The heavy snow was still falling. Looking down from the tenth floor, the second-floor stairwell window of the building across the street was half-buried by the snow. If you wanted to go out, the second-floor window would definitely be difficult to access.

The sound just now clearly indicated that someone had finished their food and was starting to break into other people's homes to steal their supplies.

That shout was like pressing a button; a chorus of voices rose and fell throughout the neighborhood—from the elderly, children, women, and men.

There were bursts of arrogant laughter, and also desperate wails.

The sound didn't just come from afar; it also emanated from all ten of their buildings.

Order began to crumble at this moment.

Lin Yue's eyes were cold and hard, without the slightest change, as she listened quietly to the sounds.

Lin Yue didn't come to her senses until she heard a scratching sound on her door. When she looked at the time, it was already 12:05.

She immediately took out the food and plated it, and then took out ten pounds of raw pork, put it in a bag, and then went to open the door.

Outside the door, Canglang looked up at her, as if accusing her of breaking her promise.

They clearly said lunch would be served promptly at 12 o'clock, so are they now unwilling to provide meals?

Lin Yue never imagined she would be so embarrassed by being stared at by a wolf, so she could only laugh awkwardly: "I'm all prepared, it's just..."

Lin Yue thought for a moment, unsure how to lie to a wolf.

"Let's go, let's go. Aren't you hungry?" Lin Yue closed the door and went into the other room first.

Upon entering, Cang Yu was standing by the window looking outside.

Lin Yue walked over, intending to reach out and pat him to tell him to eat, but somehow Cang Yu twisted her hand behind her back and pressed her against the window.

At that moment, on the tenth floor of the ninth building across the street, a woman with her infant child jumped directly from the balcony.

The child's cries only lingered in the wind for a moment before falling silent.

Two men ran out from the balcony of the tenth floor across the street, spat at the woman who had jumped, and then grinned lewdly when they saw them.

When Cang Yu saw that the person he was pressing down was Lin Yue, his fierce gaze softened slightly, and the force in his hands dissipated.

"Don't touch me from behind again." He would instinctively hurt her.

"Yes, I won't." Lin Yue's voice was a little low.

She had naively thought she could hurt Cang Yu by catching him off guard, but now, haha, with Cang Yu's level of vigilance, she was dreaming.

Cang Yu didn't know that Lin Yue was thinking that way; he only assumed that she was feeling down because of the woman who jumped off the building with her child in her arms.

He thought for a moment, unsure how to comfort her, so he simply asked, "Are you feeling sorry for her?"

"What?" Lin Yue asked, puzzled.

Why are you suddenly asking such a nonsensical question?

"That woman who was holding the child just now??"

Lin Yue then realized what Cang Yu was talking about.

"No, I've eaten."

She doesn't even have the absolute strength to protect herself, so how can she have the extra time to care about others?

That woman, when she talked about her before, she didn't hold back at all. If she felt sorry for her, it was only because she felt sorry that the child was born into the wrong family. That was all.

"That's good. There will be more of these kinds of things in the future, and some people will even deliberately deceive people like this. Don't abuse your sympathy," Cang Yu couldn't help but remind them.

Logically speaking, someone who was betrayed by his own brother and reborn shouldn't act like this, but when facing Lin Yue, aside from his initial coldness, he seemed to soften somewhat later on.

He couldn't figure it out, and could only attribute it to the fact that Lin Yue's cooking was so delicious that he let her have a meal occasionally, or perhaps Lin Yue's behavior was different from other women, so he was more lenient with her.

"I know!" She didn't want to be torn to pieces like in her dream.

Lin Yue ignored what Cang Yu was thinking, shook her slightly sore arm, and sat down at the table to eat.

The wolf had already dug the pork out of the bag and put it in its food bowl, and had already eaten half of it.

When food is plentiful, it can eat ten pounds of meat per meal, but if it often goes without food for several days, it will definitely eat ten or twenty kilograms at a time.

Lin Yue picked up a piece of food and put it in her mouth, her brows furrowing slightly.

In just a short while, the food had gone cold and hard, and the rice was rock hard. This weather is really…

Annoying.

After taking a few bites, Lin Yue couldn't help but say, "Eat faster next time."

This is really causing delays.

Cang Yu glanced at her and said, "We'll be eating this kind of food often in the future."

After saying that, he started eating heartily by himself.

Compared to my previous life, this meal is now an unparalleled delicacy.

Lin Yue paused.

yes!

Whether she can get such food when she's out in the future is still a question; she can't casually expose her private space to outsiders.

Although the person in front of them was also an outsider, compared to the others, they were at least somewhat familiar with each other, though this familiarity was forced upon them.

The two finished their meal quietly and quickly, and then Lin Yue took her own bowl and chopsticks and went home to sleep.

Cang Yu looked at Lin Yue's legs, which moved freely, and his eyes flickered slightly.

This girl recovered pretty quickly.

At noon, Lin Yue slept until 1:50 and got up on time, appearing at Cang Yu's door. Cang Lang still opened the door, which Lin Yue was already used to.

Their apartment building doesn't have a corridor; there's only an elevator between two apartments and a staircase in front. It's only slightly wider than other stairwells, so there's nowhere for the two of them to practice, and they can only come to Cang Yu's house.

As for her home, Cang Yu didn't say anything else, but she felt that the two of them should agree that it wasn't a good fit.

Cang Yu moved the table to the wall next to the sofa, and then stood in the center of the living room.

"Attack me with every move you can."

Lin Yue didn't hesitate either, immediately launching a spinning kick towards Cang Yu's face, her foot making a slight whooshing sound as it cut through the air.

However, what seemed like a vicious kick to an ordinary person was like slow motion to Cang Yu, who easily caught it.

"Not fast enough, not strong enough." Cang Yu grabbed Lin Yue's ankle with one hand, his eyes filled with contempt.

Seeing this, Lin Yue didn't say anything. She cleverly broke free of her foot and then made another move, making a flourish and a feint towards Cang Yu's chest, but Cang Yu easily caught her again.

“That was a superfluous move, giving the enemy time to counterattack.” Cang Yu said, releasing Lin Yue’s hand. “Let’s try again.”

...

Two hours later, Lin Yue was exhausted again, but she hadn't even touched the hem of Cang Yu's clothes.

In the past two hours, she has tried Taekwondo, Judo, Tai Chi, and Shaolin Kung Fu, and the feedback she received was either that she was too slow, too weak, or that her movements were too unnecessary.

Lin Yue felt once again that all the kung fu she had learned since elementary school was fake. If it were real, how could she not even touch the hem of Cang Yu's clothes?

Looking at Lin Yue sitting on the ground, Cang Yu said coldly, "Lin Yue, from now on you'll be fighting for your life, not just ordinary fighting. Go back tonight and think carefully about your moves. We'll continue tomorrow."

That afternoon, it seemed as if Cang Yu taught Lin Yue, yet it also seemed as if he taught her nothing at all.
