Upon hearing this, Ruan Tian immediately explained, "It's not what you think! How could I possibly have any special hobbies!"
But after witnessing the scene just now, the kind-hearted older brother had already convinced himself that Ruan Tian might really have some unspeakable "special hobby".
"Don't panic, don't worry. I will definitely keep today's events a secret from you. From now on, this matter will only be known to you and me. I will definitely not let anyone else know about this!"
Ruan Tian: "...No, big brother, let me explain!"
The kind-hearted man waved his sleeve, laughed heartily, and decided that if he was going to be a good person, he would see it through to the end.
"Ruan Tian, you can really rest assured. Since I've already said that, it means I will definitely keep what we agreed on."
"No! I swear, I really don't have anything special about me..."
The man didn't give Ruan Tian a chance to finish her sentence. Instead, he turned around, gave her a "I understand" gesture, and then left.
As Ruan Tian watched the uncle's departing figure, she shook her head helplessly.
"Never mind, I'll explain this to the uncle next time I see him."
Ruan Tian refocused her attention on Gu Yi and Ye Mofeng.
She crouched down, looking at the two people with a worried expression, muttering to herself:
"Neither of you can give me an easy time. What am I supposed to do with you two?"
After the Red Moon Tide was resolved, everyone came out of the house.
After this battle, the bonds between them have grown much stronger than before.
They dug out the crystal core from the giant zombie's head, their actions perfectly coordinated, and they quickly cleaned up the mess in front of them.
Awen, the survivor who had previously looked down on Ruan Tian, also came over to apologize to her.
"Um... Ruan Tian, I'm really sorry."
Awen hadn't expected to survive this fight. A little embarrassed, he raised his hand and gently rubbed the back of his head, then sincerely apologized to Ruan Tian, saying:
“I said some very serious things to you before, mainly because I didn’t expect to survive. I’m sorry to you. I should have believed you instead of questioning you.”
Awen's face was filled with guilt, and when he looked up again, his eyes were filled with admiration and respect for Ruan Tian.
"You said something very true before! You haven't really given up hope yet, so how can I be at ease?"
In Ruan Tian, Awen saw the courage to continue living.
He was truly moved, especially when he saw that Ruan Tian possessed such great strength in such a small body.
"You must live well. I've made you my goal for survival!"
Awen clenched his fist secretly. When he spoke to Ruan Tian, his expression was particularly serious. It seemed that he really regarded Ruan Tian as his motivation and hope for living.
"Here are some other things; I hope you will accept them."
When Awen arrived, he was carrying three heavy bags.
He stuffed the three bags into Ruan Tian's hands, saying, "These are the crystal cores that the powerful zombies dug out. I hope you like them."
Upon hearing this, Ruan Tian immediately felt like she had been given a hot potato, and she quickly refused Awen's offer.
"I will personally hand over Gu Yi's and Ye Mofeng's to them after they wake up, but mine..."
Due to some special reasons, Ruan Tian could not directly tell what happened while everyone was unconscious, so she could only use this roundabout method.
"I don't need mine! You can keep them. In a crisis like the apocalypse, we are all human beings, and life is already difficult enough."
But Awen refused no matter what, saying, "But this is what you should accept! Not just for you, but also for Gu Yi and Ye Mofeng."
The heavy bag of crystal cores was put back into Ruan Tian's hands.
"This is what you deserve! If you hadn't intervened in time during the last wave of zombies, we would never have been able to obtain such powerful strength!"
Seeing that Ruan Tian's expression was very serious, Awen gave her a thumbs up and praised her:
“You are truly amazing, like a ray of light in the apocalypse, so everyone thinks it's only right that you accept these crystal cores.”
Ruan Tian felt that if she continued to refuse, Awen might be heartbroken.
In the end, she sighed helplessly and had no choice but to accept half of the crystal core and return the other half to Awen.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I'll accept half of it!"
Awen frowned, instinctively wanting to say something more, but then he thought of Ruan Tian's temper and had no choice but to agree.
After Awen thanked her again and left, Ruan Tian opened the bag and took a look. She found that the number of crystal cores given to her was quite substantial!
After thinking for a moment, she took out half of her crystal core, divided it equally, and stuffed it into Ye Mofeng and Gu Yi's crystal core bags.
“I’ve already taken a lot, and this is what you deserve.”
Without Ye Mofeng and Gu Yi's help, it's uncertain whether they would have survived this crisis.
For the next two days, Ruan Tian stayed by the side of the two men, watching as the temporary base was reorganized.
Ruan Tian couldn't help but grab the kind-hearted man who happened to be passing by, and asked with a frown, "Brother, are you really going to set up camp here?"
The older brother chuckled憨厚ly, “Yeah, I didn’t originally want to stay here, but how should I put it… maybe it’s because I’ve developed an attachment to it.”
After surviving the Red Moon Tide, everyone fought with all their might, and their bond deepened.
"Anyway, it's the end of the world, so moving around is more dangerous. This location is good, and there are still so many people willing to stay. Wouldn't it be great if we could set up a camp together and make this place our home?"
Upon hearing this, Ruan Tian realized it made sense. After thinking about it, she finally nodded and said:
"Okay, then I'll leave you some food?"
Her storage space contained a great deal of food and countless canned goods, all left by Yu'er for Ruan Tian.
"That won't do! Your food is an extremely valuable resource in the apocalypse! We can't use you, but if possible, everyone hopes to buy the food you have through crystal cores."
Ruan Tian thought the uncle was right; in the apocalypse, no one should act like a saint.
On the contrary, a reciprocal relationship is what makes social interactions last longer.
"Okay, let's exchange them using crystal cores. I'll give you the lowest price."
The older brother immediately bowed and said gratefully, "Thank you so much! We wouldn't know what to do without you. Thank you so much."
Ruan Tian quickly told her older brother to get up.
The eldest brother wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, glanced at Ruan Tian first, then at Gu Yi and Ye Mofeng on the ground, and asked a question:
"And you, Ruan Tian? Where are you going next?"
