After two peaceful days, we were all startled awake one morning by Thousand-Mile Eye's exclamation. Still half-asleep, we rushed to the shelter. Thousand-Mile Eye stood terrified by the kitchen, pointing at the ground, speechless. We looked in the direction he was pointing, and saw the ground was completely empty, so clean we'd almost forgotten that spot was where we'd stored the water and food we'd gathered. Wufeng ran forward, frowning, and asked, "What happened? Where are the supplies?"
Thousand-Mile Eye nodded quickly: "I don't know. I just came back from the bathroom and wanted to get a bottle of water when I found that all the supplies were gone."
We all looked at each other in bewilderment, and I spoke up, "No one has touched it, has anyone?"
I turned to look at Xilang and Kaka with some suspicion. Kaka looked at me innocently, while Xilang said impatiently, "We went through so much trouble to find it, how could we have touched it without permission? But you, the first thing you think of when something is lost is whether we touched it or not. You don't even have the most basic trust."
I rolled my eyes at Xilang: "I was just asking a question as usual, what's wrong with that? Don't try to smear me by talking about trust issues."
Ji Lin'an took two steps closer to me and said, "Since no one has touched it, it can only mean that other lucky people came and stole the supplies."
Xilang leaned against the wall and sneered, "Maybe someone put it in their spatial storage. There are so many things, it would take a long time to move them, it's impossible for them to be completely silent, unless someone quietly put them in their spatial storage."
I was furious and was about to rush towards Xilang when Ji Lin'an stopped me. Ji Lin'an said coldly, "Su Su slept next to me all night last night and didn't even get up to go to the toilet. Everyone knows what kind of person she is. If our people didn't touch the supplies, it can only be that they were taken away by other survivors. At this time, we should be united instead of suspecting and distrusting each other."
Qianliyan chimed in, "Yes, yes, I believe in Su Yi's character."
Seeing that someone was speaking up for him, Xilang looked at Ji Lin'an with displeasure and said, "Who knows if you're sleeping in the same bed?"
Ji Lin'an was about to speak when Wu Feng suddenly stood up and said coldly, "I believe in Su Yi's character. She has no reason to do this. These past few days, the water source has been contaminated, and it was only because Su Yi took out the supplies they had stored that we had water to drink and food to eat. Xi Lang, what you're saying sounds like you're deliberately targeting us."
Xilang was surprised that Wufeng would suddenly stand up for me. He turned around and went back to his room, feeling humiliated. Ji Lin'an stepped forward, patted Wufeng on the shoulder to express his gratitude, and then turned to us seriously and said, "Since these uninvited guests can take away our supplies silently, it means they are quite capable. We must be vigilant these next few days to prevent them from harming us again."
Wufeng nodded: "Yes, the alarm for the Lucky One approaching has been removed, so even if someone approaches, we won't know. Starting today, let's take turns keeping watch to ensure safety. During the day, I'll find some things to make traps, and we'll make some traps near the farm together, so at least we'll know that someone is approaching the farm."
We all nodded, and Wufeng said, "It's still early, you should all go back and get some more sleep. I'm feeling sleepy, I'll keep watch."
Ji Lin'an patted Wu Feng's shoulder again: "I'm awake too. I'll stay with you. Su Su, are you alright by yourself?"
Before I could even speak, Wufeng chuckled and teased, "What, Su Yi, are you scared to sleep alone?"
I immediately pouted: "Who said that? I can turn over more easily when I sleep alone."
After saying that, I quickly turned around and went back to my room, completely ignoring Wufeng's laughter.
When I woke up again, the sun had already risen. After we finished breakfast, we split into groups again. Wufeng and Ji Lin'an went to town to look for things that could be used as traps. Qianliyan took Kaka and Xilang to find drinking water and food again. I stayed behind at the shelter alone. It wasn't that I was being lazy; I simply didn't want to be in the same car as Xilang, nor did I want to be alone in the same car as Kaka, and I especially didn't want Kaka and Xilang to be alone together.
As I was leisurely watching TV, I heard a noise outside the door. I thought Ji Lin'an and the other man had returned, so I excitedly ran to the door to see what they had brought back. But when I got there, I froze. In front of me was a strange woman and two men. I instinctively backed away and quickly dialed the location of Villa No. 5 on my phone. But the people who came didn't seem to want to hurt me. Instead, the woman leading the group smiled and walked towards me. I cautiously stepped back, and the woman immediately stopped and said, "Are you Su Yi?"
I frowned at the person in front of me: "Who are you? How do you know my name?"
The woman's smile widened: "It's you, I'm Little K."
I asked in confusion, "Little K?"
I scrutinized the person in front of me. She did resemble Little K somewhat, but she was thinner, and her complexion and skin weren't as good. I asked doubtfully, "Are you really Little K? I've seen Little K in videos, but you look very different."
Little K smiled helplessly, "It makes me look fatter on camera, and I used beauty filters, so it's not surprising that you don't recognize me. But I really am Little K. If you don't believe me, I'll show you my phone, and there are our chat history and call logs."
Seeing Xiao K show me our chat history on social media, I lowered my guard a little. But why did she suddenly appear here again? Just as I was about to ask Xiao K, I saw a van driving up outside the farm. It was Wu Feng and Ji Lin'an who had returned. Xiao K and the others also heard the noise and turned to look. Xiao K turned around and pointed at the van: "Su Yi, is your partner back?"
I nodded. The car stopped after entering the countryside. Ji Lin'an and Wu Feng got out of the car warily, guns raised. When Xiao K saw this, he quickly took two steps toward me and said to Ji Lin'an and Wu Feng, "We're all on the same side."
Ji Lin'an asked, "Su Su, do you know them?"
I said, "It's Little K. I don't recognize the two people behind her."
Ji Lin'an quickly walked to my side and asked in a low voice, "What's she doing here?"
I shook my head and said, "I don't know, I was just about to ask her when you came back."
Ji Lin'an turned his head: "Then let's go inside and talk."
Wu Feng walked to the door and gripped his gun tightly: "Old Ji, do you know each other?"
Ji Lin'an patted Wu Feng's shoulder lightly: "Let's go inside first, I don't know much about the situation either."
After we finished speaking, we all went inside and sat down. Little K sat on the sofa, looked around the shelter, and turned to smile, "Su Su, so you're living in the warehouse?"
I gave a perfunctory smile. Ji Lin sat down next to me, while Wu Feng, still holding his gun, stood at the door without going inside.
