Upon seeing Zhu Chen disappear, Ji Lin'an and Qianliyan rushed downstairs. Qianliyan asked, "How is he? Where is he?"
I pointed outside the door: "He ran away, but I hit him in the chest."
Thousand-Mile Eyes clapped: "Well done, Su Su!! That bastard is finally dead."
I happily ran over to Ji Lin'an and patted my stomach: "I'm so hungry, can we eat something delicious now?"
Ji Lin'an smiled and said, "Sure, you can eat whatever you want."
The three of us returned to the living room on the second floor. Qianliyan picked up the mahjong mat and threw the mahjong tiles aside. I took out a lot of food from my space. Ji Lin'an turned on the resource conversion skill on his phone and handed it to me. Following the instructions, I took a box of instant noodles, a box of self-heating hot pot, and a box of instant porridge and exchanged them for three bowls of dan dan noodles, a basket of shrimp dumplings, a basket of custard buns, three roujiamo (Chinese hamburgers), three youtiao (fried dough sticks), and three cups of soy milk.
Looking at the table full of fresh breakfast, I was in a great mood. Although the price of the converted supplies was far higher than the price of this breakfast, I was already very satisfied to be able to eat fresh food in this post-apocalyptic world. I sat down and began to wolf down my food. Only Ji Lin'an frowned more and more as she ate. When I was almost full, I looked at Ji Lin'an and asked, "What's wrong? Don't you like any of these?"
Ji Lin'an forced a smile: "No, I love all kinds of food. Are you full?"
I chuckled and patted my stomach: "I'm almost full."
Ji Lin'an then put down the roujiamo in his hand: "Check if you have received a notification that you have acquired a skill."
My expression froze, and I immediately checked my phone. There were no message notifications, which meant Zhu Chen wasn't dead. But I shot him in the chest, how could he not be dead?!
Ji Lin'an got up, shut down the satellite network, cut off the monitoring solar power connection, and sat back down next to us with a serious expression: "Zhu Chen was shot in the chest. Even if he doesn't die, he won't live much longer. Let's wait and see."
We had originally planned to catch up on sleep after breakfast, but our spirits were high again. We tossed and turned in bed, and an hour passed... three hours passed... five hours passed... The more I thought about it, the worse my mood became. I got up and sat in the living room, and Ji Lin'an followed me out: "Go to sleep for a while. If Zhu Chen is still alive, we still have to continue fighting against him."
Clairvoyant also came out and sat down: "Could it be that he has a medical space? He's so lucky to be alive, but wasn't it said that the copied skills were cleared when he got a minor illness?"
I frowned: "If he's not dead, there's another possibility: he didn't kill the leader, and the leader used his medical skills to save Zhu Chen."
Ji Lin'an nodded with a serious expression: "That's possible. Zhu Chen or the leader knew that once the skill copyer dies, the copied skill will also be lost, so the two of them simply cooperated to preserve the medical skill."
Thousand-Mile Eyes covered her face and leaned back on the sofa: "Heavens, is your ex-boyfriend a cockroach?"
I hugged my legs, feeling a little deflated: "Why can't retrieving objects from a distance become killing people from a distance?"
Clairvoyant pouted: "Why didn't you just use the Anywhere Door to teleport there and kill him instead of wasting time playing mahjong?"
I sighed and said, "Zhu Chen used to like playing basketball and video games. He has a very fast reaction time. In addition, he has gained the Flash skill. If I go directly to him, I might get killed. The only way to kill him is to drug him and make him less agile."
Qianliyan asked with a puzzled look, "But he didn't drink a drop of the tea that Lao Ji brewed. How did he get poisoned?"
Ji Lin'an sneered: "I knew he wouldn't drink the tea I gave him. After playing mahjong all night, he would be constantly on guard and his body would be severely dehydrated. So, while I was making the tea, I went to his room and added something to the mineral water by his bedside. The first thing he did when he got back to his room was definitely to drink as much water as he wanted."
With an "I see" look on his face, Qianliyan asked with a puzzled expression the next second, "Even if Zhu Chen is quick-witted, he can't possibly be that quick-witted when he's sleeping, can he?"
I shook my head: "Zhu Chen is a light sleeper. He can't sleep if someone is breathing next to him. In addition, he lives here and is always on guard. He might wake up the moment I teleport over. I can't guarantee that I can face Zhu Chen directly and shoot him immediately. If I teleport over with my back to him, he might have already run away or killed me by the time I turn around to aim."
The all-seeing eye remained silent, frowning and sighing...
Ji Lin'an reached out and put his arm around my shoulder: "Don't think about it. I'll stay here. You two go and get some sleep."
Qianliyan sat up straight: "Brother, you and Su Yi go to sleep, I'll keep watch."
Ji Lin'an smiled and said, "Go to sleep. You can come and relieve me after you've had some rest."
I felt their conversation sounded very familiar. After thinking about it, I remembered that they had said something similar in the future scene yesterday. I suddenly laughed. Ji Lin'an and Qianliyan turned to look at me, stared at me for a few seconds, and then realized what was going on. The three of us smiled slightly.
After bumping fists with Ji Lin'an, Qianliyan went back to his room to sleep. I went into my room, grabbed a blanket, and lay down on the sofa in the living room. Ji Lin'an smiled and asked me, "Why don't you go back to your room to sleep?"
I tucked the blanket around myself, closed my eyes, and said, "It's too lonely for you to stay here alone. I can't bear to see you like this. I'll sleep here and keep you company."
Ji Lin'an kissed my forehead and sat down on the sofa next to me, falling asleep beside me...
When I woke up again, I was already lying in bed in the bedroom. Ji Lin was fast asleep. I tiptoed to the living room, where Qianliyan was playing on his phone. The two cups of tea on the table had lost their color, so they must have been drinking tea to stay awake.
I sat down on the sofa: "Go back to sleep for a while, I'll keep watch."
The guy with the "all-seeing eye" was engrossed in his game and didn't look up at me. He said, "It's okay, I'm not sleepy anymore."
