Ruan Tian grabbed Ye Mofeng and turned to leave.
No matter how much the middle-aged man behind her begged for mercy, she never turned around again.
Ye Mofeng was very obedient. He was pulled along by Ruan Tian and did not struggle at all, like a quiet little chick.
Moreover, the way Ye Mofeng looked at Ruan Tian was as if he were looking at some novel species.
Noticing Ye Mofeng's gaze, Ruan Tian quickly turned around, looking at him warily, and said:
"What do you mean by looking at me like that, as if you've never met me before?"
“I didn’t mean that,” Ye Mofeng shook his head gently. “I’m just happy to see another side of you.”
Ruan Tian was too kind to Ye Mofeng. He thought that Ruan Tian would take the initiative to help anyone who fell into the water.
"I'm not a saint!" Ruan Tian was so angry at his reply that she laughed.
It's not that Ruan Tian looks down on saints, but rather that her own survival philosophy prevents her from becoming a saint.
Just as that middle-aged man said, in this apocalyptic world, anyone who is soft-hearted is not far from death.
"Human hearts are always the hardest thing to fathom, and I won't be soft-hearted and act like a saint for no reason."
Ruan Tian is only kind to those she has chosen.
Ye Mofeng is a completely special case as her target!
“But Ye Mofeng,” Ruan Tian continued walking, but tightened her grip on Ye Mofeng’s arm.
She nervously asked the rest of the question:
"Do I look too different from the image you have of me?"
Ye Mofeng was taken aback by Ruan Tian's words and instinctively shook his head.
"That's not what I thought."
Ruan Tian is just Ruan Tian. He was attracted to Ruan Tian because of her as a person, and it had nothing to do with anything else.
After receiving a positive answer, Ruan Tian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The two quickened their pace and successfully entered the TV tower.
There are very few zombies here, only a few scattered around, all of which Ye Mofeng has dealt with.
Once inside the TV tower, it was Ye Mofeng's turn to pull Ruan Tian along. He began to explain:
"It's still early in the Red Moon. The real hell will begin in the latter half of the night. There's a good hiding spot on the top floor of the TV tower. Let's go there."
Seeing Ye Mofeng's very experienced demeanor, Ruan Tian lowered her voice and asked curiously:
How do you know about such a secluded place?
Upon hearing this, Ye Mofeng's pupils contracted slightly. Even though he could tell that Ruan Tian really wanted to know the reason, he still awkwardly changed the subject.
"There's still some food up there, let's go up."
Since Ye Mofeng didn't want to talk about it, Ruan Tian wisely refrained from asking.
However, this building is really high. The elevator is no longer working, so you have to rely entirely on your own two legs to climb all of these hundred-plus floors.
...
When Ruan Tian finished climbing the fifteenth floor, she confidently showed Ye Mofeng her biceps and said with a smile:
"It's just a mere fifteen floors, Ye Mofeng, you watch, it's time to show you a miracle!"
Soon, after reaching the thirtieth floor, Ruan Tian's forehead was soaked with sweat, and she swallowed hard.
Seeing that she looked exhausted, Ye Mofeng couldn't help but say, "If you really can't manage, I'll carry you up."
"No need!" Ruan Tian refused outright, declaring with great determination, "If you're a woman, go up to the hundredth floor!"
.
After the fiftieth floor, Ruan Tian died.
She lay sprawled on the ground, panting heavily, her vision blurred, and her legs as limp as noodles.
Ye Mofeng stared at Ruan Tian for a while, and he acted as if nothing had happened. Even though he had climbed fifty floors, his breathing was not disordered at all.
He knelt down on one knee in front of Ruan Tian and said softly, "Let me carry you on my back."
"No!" Ruan Tian insisted stubbornly, her hands and legs trembling like noodles.
Holding onto the railing, Ruan Tian climbed up shakily. If you only saw her from behind, you would think she was an eighty-year-old woman.
Ye Mofeng stopped indulging Ruan Tian and stepped forward to pick her up in a princess carry.
"There's no need to be stubborn."
After saying that, he spoke again before Ruan Tian could:
"By the time you get upstairs on your own, the zombies will probably have already outnumbered us."
Upon hearing this, Ruan Tian stopped pretending and came clean, obediently snuggling into Ye Mofeng's arms.
He was incredibly strong; carrying Ruan Tian in his arms, he climbed fifty floors in one go and was completely unharmed.
Apart from being slightly out of breath, his legs stood straight without trembling at all.
Ruan Tian couldn't help but feel jealous. Apart from being a bit of a sycophant, Ye Mofeng was practically a chosen one!
Upon arriving at the CEO's office on the top floor of the TV tower, Ruan Tian discovered a small cubicle.
This compartment is quite peculiar; it has a large hole drilled in the ceiling, and it's quite high off the ground.
With the current physical condition of zombies, they simply cannot jump up there.
It is an absolutely safe place.
Ye Mofeng pulled a ladder from the corner and climbed up with Ruan Tian.
The interior of the small cubicle was not as chaotic as Ruan Tian had imagined; on the contrary, it was very clean, and everything was neatly arranged.
Even in the corners, you can see some supplies, which look like canned fruit in the boxes.
Ye Mofeng was very self-aware; he seemed to know everything about the place. He took the initiative to clean up the dust and even gave Ruan Tian a cushion.
"Thank you so much, you've worked hard."
Seeing how capable Ye Mofeng was, Ruan Tian felt embarrassed and scratched her head shyly.
"No need to thank me, it's perfectly safe here, just stay here."
Although the air-conditioned compartment was small, it was fully equipped. Ye Mofeng got up, went to the corner, and patted the box.
"Would you like some canned fruit? We have yellow peaches and strawberries."
Ruan Tian's eyes sparkled, "Can I really eat this?!"
“Of course,” Ye Mofeng said swiftly, handing Ruan Tian a can of strawberries.
"Oh my god! I never imagined that I would be eating canned strawberries in the apocalypse!"
Lu Xuexue must have been drooling over this canned food when she saw it.
Thinking of Lu Xuexue's spoiled appearance, Ruan Tian nudged Ye Mofeng's lower back with her elbow and said with a smile:
"If your Xuexue knew that you were secretly keeping her favorite canned strawberries, she would definitely be angry."
Ye Mofeng explained, "She doesn't like strawberries, she likes green pears, so I brought them all back."
Upon hearing this, Ruan Tian could no longer smile. She silently ate her canned food, looking sullen.
I thought Ye Mofeng had come to his senses and stopped flattering me, but it turns out he didn't stop; I was just too naive.
Ye Mofeng keenly sensed her emotions and was somewhat at a loss.
Did I upset you?
"Haha, no," Ruan Tian chuckled dryly, then continued eating her canned food in silence.
Even if Ye Mofeng were stupid, he should have been able to tell that Ruan Tian was definitely angry.
He remained silent for a while, then suddenly turned his head and said to Ruan Tian:
"You want to know why I know about this place? I'll tell you now."
