"Sister Chen Xi! Ruan Ruan just got electricity to one of the rooms!" the girl exclaimed excitedly. "She said that maybe she can get electricity to the whole dormitory building in the future."
Those who had just returned were exhausted, both physically and mentally. Upon hearing the news, they all raised their heads.
"I'm really not dead?" The boy who had spoken earlier also looked shocked.
The girl gave him a disdainful look, then smiled at Chen Xi and said, "I'll take them to get settled first."
"Sister Ye is truly a woman who accomplishes great things," someone remarked. "Luckily, I decisively surrendered."
For the next few days, Song Qi practiced in an empty building, leaving everything else to the people outside, and no one blamed her.
Occasionally, seeing several rooms turn on their lights at the same time would trigger a scream.
There happened to be some people in the boys' dormitory who were involved in this field, so Song Qi called them over and shared his ideas about power supply.
The boys exchanged glances.
"If you need any tools, write them down, and I'll have someone take you out to find them." Song Qi felt that since he could assemble mechs, he shouldn't have any problem making something out of them. Of course, it would be even better if he could find a generator directly.
The boys exchanged glances, feeling somewhat weary; their hair was indeed going to fall out.
She was too tired to stay here for long, but it was still a good practice project for her.
Indeed, some things are better left as thoughts.
However, in order to show off his recent achievements, he managed to turn on the lights in a building at night. Although it only lasted for ten minutes, it was still exciting enough.
It was the only light in the darkness, visible from a great distance, which shocked countless people.
Song Qi withdrew his hand and leaned against Bai Yanxi.
In the distant library, most people stood by the windows, staring at the dormitory building that had been lit up for as long as it did.
"I'm not seeing things, am I?" someone finally spoke, their voice trembling slightly.
"You didn't see wrong."
Why are they somewhat useful?
"They might have found a generator."
"Is that the girls' dormitory?" someone asked.
"It seems so."
"Speaking of which, we went out to find supplies a few days ago and heard that a really awesome female leader has emerged in the girls' dormitory."
Who is it?
"Ye Xiruan".
Someone laughed.
"Are you kidding me, her?"
“It’s her,” the person who had been standing silently to the side said. “I saw her riding a bicycle with a group of people down there last time.”
"Boss, you didn't see that wrong, did you?"
“No.” Fan Yao stared at the dormitory building in the distance, which had already darkened. “She sensed that I was looking at her, and she looked up and greeted me.”
The rest of the people didn't know what to say.
Everyone knew that Ye Xiruan from the performing arts department was just a delicate, pretty face, and most people thought she wouldn't survive the first day. Who knew she would end up becoming a female tyrant?
“We can try to make contact with her,” Fan Yao said. “She’s probably not short of food and clothing right now, and her ambitions are probably quite large as well.”
"Boss, you're not thinking of taking Ye Xiruan under your wing, are you?" a girl asked, frowning. "She's a real pain."
"But the best way now is to stick together, isn't it? Would you like to stay in this library forever?" Although their school's library is very large, it is still very inconvenient.
If you want to move, there isn't a better place to go right now.
After Song Qi finished discharging the electricity, he went back to rest, as he was really exhausted.
"It's already June, but it's getting colder and colder," Song Qi sighed.
“Yes,” Bai Yanxi stared at the ceiling. “What if it gets colder and colder?”
"I need to find a way to stock up on down jackets soon."
"If you're cold, you can sleep with me," Bai Yanxi said. "I can hold you."
"Thank you, but no need," Song Qi declined.
"You don't need to be shy."
"What's there to be shy about? It's not like we've never slept together before."
Bai Yanxi blushed and coughed twice.
"Let's go to sleep." Song Qi yawned. She got up at five o'clock the next day, dragged Bai Yanxi out of bed, and went for a run with her.
There were quite a few people up early. Song Qi went to the place where clothes were stored and took a look. There weren't many thick clothes.
She had someone write a notice and post it on the bulletin board.
There weren't many people there initially, but after the announcement, they realized that it was indeed much colder than before.
"I'm scared. I hope that such a snowy and icy situation will never happen again."
"I don't think so..."
Song Qi had people collect all the hand warmers and hot water bottles from the supermarket and put them in one place; the quantity wasn't large.
The number of supplies to be found has increased, and the surrounding area has already been searched. The only option is to expand the search area. Basically, half of the people need to leave every day. Song Qi and his team have set up a parking lot specifically for parking, and now it is filled with more than 20 seven-seater cars and a large bus.
When Fan Yao arrived with his men, they saw more than a dozen vehicles driving out of the earthen wall.
"How big an area have they fenced off for this?"
"It doesn't feel like Ye Xiruan's work."
There were people guarding the entrance, and when they noticed someone coming, they immediately shouted, "Fan Yao has arrived with his men!"
After that, Fan Yao and the others heard various voices coming from inside.
"Fan Yao? Is that Fan Yao?"
Before the apocalypse, Fan Yao was a prominent figure at school, sparking a lot of discussion in this predominantly female environment.
"It seems so."
What's he doing here?
"They won't come to cause trouble, will they?"
"No way..."
"Sigh, I hope he's not going to cause trouble. Last time, when that guy was killed by Ruan Ruan, he looked so ugly... Fan Yao is so handsome."
"It's better to just blast them into ashes."
Fan Yao: ...
Others: ? ? ?
"We're not here to cause trouble, we're just here to discuss cooperation," Fan Yao said immediately as the discussion veered off course.
"Oh, you guys go and inform Ruanruan and Sister Bai."
Fan Yao watched as the earthen wall in front of the door slowly opened, allowing only one person to pass at a time.
Once inside, I found that the environment here was much better than outside. The grass in the flower beds by the roadside was greener than outside, and everyone was clean and tidy, with no one looking disheveled.
The young girl guarding the gate sat at the entrance, with a thermos next to her legs, and was drinking water from the thermos.
Fan Yao noticed that the people around him stared wide-eyed, giving him the feeling of a country bumpkin visiting the city.
"Why are you all staring at me?" The girl frowned as she looked at them. When she noticed Ye Xiruan had arrived, she immediately grabbed her thermos and ran behind Song Qi to hide.
Song Qi was followed by a lot of people, mostly girls who came to see the handsome guy.
"Is there something you need?" Song Qi looked at Fan Yao. "What kind of cooperation would you like to discuss?"
Fan Yao was silent for a few seconds. He had originally intended for Song Qi to listen to him, but after seeing the situation here, it was clearly unlikely.
The person standing next to Fan Yao noticed that Fan Yao was not speaking and took the initiative to speak.
"After all, it's a time like this, and we hope everyone can unite."
"so what?"
“We hope the two sides can merge. Fan Yao has the ability to lead everyone, and Ye can also take a break.”
Song Qi stared at the boy and scoffed, "Are you dreaming?"
"I've spent so many days telling my girls that we can live well in this environment with our own hands, and now you come to me and tell me to take a break and stop working?"
"I've accumulated so many resources and trained so many people who can protect themselves in the apocalypse, and you come here thinking you can take it all over? How dare you?" Song Qi instantly lost all goodwill towards this male protagonist. "Or rather, do you think you can still defeat me even though you have more people, more land, and more resources than us? Besides, what makes you think I'm incapable of leading everyone?"
The people behind Song Qi stopped whispering and looked at Fan Yao and his group with more disdain.
The boy who spoke turned bright red.
The two girls who followed still felt that Song Qi was just being pampered, and rolled their eyes at her.
"It seems your so-called cooperation is not sincere at all." Song Qi raised his chin slightly.
“I haven’t said anything yet.” Fan Yao rubbed his temples. “When I came here, I didn’t know what the situation was like. I had a prejudice in my heart. Ye, I’m sorry. Why don’t you tell me your thoughts?”
Song Qi rubbed his fingers together: "This time it is called cooperation, but it is more like a merger. I only accept mergers with me as the highest authority and follow my arrangements. If you come here, you will all listen to Fan... classmate. I think that given how much you are dissatisfied with me, it is very likely to split us. I will not create a hidden danger for myself."
Fan Yao felt deeply that the pause was because he couldn't remember his name.
"How do we know if you have the ability?" A girl watching nearby couldn't help but ask.
"Excuse me, why should I prove to you that I have it?" Song Qi raised an eyebrow at the girl who spoke. "Your question makes you seem a bit foolish."
"Since you can't prove it, we..."
“First, it’s not me coming to you, it’s you coming to me, which means you’re more eager to find a large group than we are. Second, you can leave if you want; I didn’t mean to ask you to stay,” Song Qi interrupted the girl.
Some of the girls behind couldn't help but laugh.
"She's like an idiot."
I think so too.
"Hurry up and decide, I'm very busy." Song Qi glanced at the time.
Fan Yao looked at Song Qi: "Okay, I agree, but I hope you can treat our people equally."
“If you join us, you’ll all be my people. There’s a booklet with the specific rules, which I’ll give you to look at later. Bai Yanxi, Chen Xi, you two drive that bus and bring their people back,” Song Qi said. “Fan… classmate.”
"My name is Fan Yao, you can just call me by my name." Fan Yao had a bit of a headache.
"Okay, Fan Yao, you can go with them. As for the others... Xu Yan, you take them to their dormitories and settle them in."
A girl stepped out from the crowd, nodded, and carried a notebook in her hand. She glanced at them and said, "Come with me."
"We all live here together, and we take turns showering."
"You can take a shower?" a girl exclaimed.
"Sure, but it depends on how hard the fire and water students work that day. But you'll be guaranteed to have water. After you've seen the dorms, go over there to get towels and blankets. The towels are new, and the blankets are from the girls' dorms, so they won't be too dirty."
"OK."
People who were initially reluctant became quite excited after hearing that they could take a shower.
Bai Yanxi quickly brought the person back. He was a little unhappy to learn that Fan Yao had compromised, but his attitude improved considerably after hearing that he could drink water and take a shower.
Song Qi quickly sent out the newly arranged forms to them.
"Boss, are you really willing to accept this?"
Fan Yao looked at the form in his hand: "Why shouldn't I be willing to attend the meeting? I can attend as well."
The others looked at Fan Yao and sensed a sense of disappointment and frustration.
"Moreover, she's absolutely right. She's made excellent arrangements here. It's wishful thinking for us to come here and take over directly." Fan Yao looked out the window.
"They even have group exercise time every day. I just don't understand why they all listen to Ye Xiruan so much." Someone muttered. "Aren't girls supposed to have a lot of conflicts?"
Fan Yao didn't speak, and just as he was about to say something, he heard a cheer outside the door.
"We did it! Ahhh! We did it! Oh my god, let's tell Sister Ye!"
"My hair, my hairline, oh my god!"
The group was somewhat surprised. They opened the door and saw several boys rushing out. They were surprised to see them, but they didn't stop.
“Let’s go and take a look,” Fan Yao said.
"Sister Ye! We've built a human-powered generator! It can store energy, so you can ride it during the day and use it at night."
"Good job, well done." Song Qi walked over, patted them on the shoulder, and offered encouragement.
"You guys are amazing!"
Wow! So cool.
Several boys blushed as the girls next to them praised them. They all came from a major with an average of three girls per class, and it was the first time they had been surrounded by so many girls, making them feel a little uncomfortable.
"Is there a way to store the electricity I release, like a power bank?"
"It should be possible, but we'll need the materials."
"I'll take you out to search tomorrow." Song Qi looked at them with satisfaction. "Even though you're doing research, you still need to keep up with your physical training. You guys rest for a bit, then come out and spar with me in half an hour."
The boy, who was originally cheerful: ...
What do you mean by "counter-attacks"? It's clearly just one-sided beatings.
"You're not happy about it?"
"Yes, yes." The group nodded immediately.
