Chapter 367 Borrowing Things



Liu Xin watched without blinking, not missing a single word, and after reading it two or three times, she burst into tears of joy.

She covered her mouth, sobbing, "Waaah~ My Yueyue, you'll be alright, right? Hang in there."

Xiao Jin, having successfully completed her mission, put the spoon in her mouth, but there was a hint of disappointment in her eyes that she herself did not realize.

What was she doing when the apocalypse came in her past life?

What about her family?

Hmm~ It's such a distant memory, I can hardly remember what my parents look like anymore!

Xiao Jin suddenly lost her appetite.

After thinking for a moment, she simply put down her spoon, took out her phone, and turned it on.

As soon as she opened it, she saw that there were many new messages in the background, mostly from the government.

The information included reassurance messages, zombie behavior, and, most importantly for the survivors, the status of the rescue teams.

After reading the information, Xiao Jincai realized that rescue teams were not available in every location; the key was the urban population.

It's important to understand that a first-tier city can have a population of tens of millions. As the Black Rain spreads the virus over a wide area, these cities with large populations also have the most zombies.

There was no time to regulate it; these cities had already become a paradise for the living dead.

The decision from above was also straightforward: since they couldn't save them, they would start working on other places!

The goal is to transfer limited troops to cities with higher survival rates to maximize effectiveness; in other words, some troops are abandoned.

This incident has caused a huge uproar on forums and online communities.

After all, everyone has relatives living in big cities. Giving up on them like this is just pushing them to their deaths!

However, some people say that even if they could get into those first-tier cities, the losses would be enormous.

Don't the lives of rescue workers matter?

Fortunately, although Linjiang City is a coastal city with a large area, it has a small population and no tourist attractions, so it can barely be considered a third-tier city.

The rescue team also participated in the rescue efforts in Linjiang, mainly because there is a military base near Linjiang City.

After daybreak, large numbers of rescue troops began clearing out the city of Linjiang, with gunfire and artillery sounds echoing throughout.

The area around the noodle shop is located in the old town, where there is a large transient population, so the problem is more severe there.

It's unlikely that the rescue team will target the old town first for cleaning.

But none of that matters. As long as the survivors know that the country has sent people to rescue them, they are at ease.

The mood of Liu Xin and her husband has visibly improved.

About half an hour after everyone finished breakfast.

At that moment, Xiao Jin was sitting upright in a chair on the first floor when he suddenly heard a noise.

She turned her head to look at the doorway, but there was no unusual expression on her face.

The next second, a series of soft knocks sounded on the door.

"Knock knock knock!"

Liu Xin was having Duan Chenghong move the soybean oil when they heard a knock on the door. The two paused, exchanged a glance, and looked puzzled.

Who would it be at this moment?

Liu Xin thought of a possibility, clapped his hands to signal Duan Chenghong to put down the wooden stick, and walked to the door himself.

"Who is it?" Liu Xin didn't open the door, but asked through the door.

The person on the other end quickly replied, "Aunt Liu is me, Yun Hanhan."

Liu Xin turned her head and pointed to the next room to Xiao Jin and Duan Chenghong, meaning that the people who came were the group who stayed at the milk tea shop last night.

Xiao Jin shook her head at Liu Xin.

Liu Xin turned around and said, "Oh, it's Xiaoyun. What's up?"

Seeing that the person on the other end didn't intend to let her in, Yun Hanhan was disappointed for a second, but then she cheered up.

After all, in this day and age, it's no wonder people are wary.

Luo Xun, who was behind her, had the same idea; otherwise, he wouldn't have let Yun Hanhan, a girl, ask to borrow something.

Yun Hanhan: "Aunt Liu, we want to make something to eat, but the milk tea shop doesn't have anything. So I wanted to ask you if you could lend me an induction cooker."

They came to borrow something.

It's just an induction cooker, so Liu Xin didn't have any objections.

After obtaining the consent of Duan Chenghong and Xiao Jin, Liu Xin found an induction cooker in the kitchen, opened a window, and stuffed the cooker out.

"Here you go, Xiaoyun. You can borrow this; no need to return it in a hurry. It's dangerous outside, so hurry back!"

Yun Hanhan breathed a sigh of relief; she was really afraid she would have to go back and eat instant noodles.

"Thank you, Aunt Liu."

Outside the door, Yun Hanhan and Luo Xun cautiously walked towards the milk tea shop.

As they walked, Yun Hanhan said, "It's great, with an induction cooker we can have a normal meal."

The milk tea shop only had various toppings. It was okay to drink one or two cups, but Yun Hanhan would never eat it as a meal.

"Those three are going too far. Why are we the ones who have to find food and borrow the cookware?" Yun Hanhan suddenly complained.

Luo Xun's face was also gloomy: "These three people are no good. If we have the chance, we should still separate from them."

………

"Why? This is too dangerous."

On the other side, upon hearing that Xiao Jin was leaving the noodle shop, Liu Xin frowned in disapproval.

She looked at Xiao Jin and advised, "I know you're capable, but no one knows what changes might occur in the outside world."

The rescue team will be here soon, so you can stay here with me without worry.

“Yeah, how many zombies can you handle by yourself?” Duan Chenghong chimed in. “Those things are beasts, devoid of humanity. Think about it again!”

But what they didn't know was that Xiao Jin was no ordinary person; for her, even hundreds of zombies might not be impossible to deal with.

Xiao Jin said firmly, "I've made up my mind."

"Then will you come back?" Liu Xin's eyebrows furrowed.

"Although I don't know what you're going to do, you should go back to the noodle shop before dark and not wander around outside."

"You're still young, what if you run into bad people!" Liu Xin always unconsciously compared Xiao Jin to her own daughter.

Xiao Jin remained silent, meeting Liu Xin's worried gaze, and unconsciously uttered a few words.

"Okay, I'll be back before dark."

Five minutes later, Xiao Jin left the noodle shop carrying a backpack filled with things Liu Xin had brought for her.

Because it was summer, Liu Xin didn't bring any food for Xiao Jin.

I only put some biscuits, mineral water, pears, and two small alarm clocks in the box.

Liu Xin knew that zombies were very sensitive to sound, and these two little alarm clocks might be of great help to Xiao Jin at a critical moment.

Xiao Jin did not refuse. Since it wasn't heavy, she carried her bag and headed back along the route she had taken yesterday, silently sketching out the locations of the shops in her mind.

That's right, Xiao Jin came out this time with the goal of "zero-yuan purchase".
