Chen Xu glanced at Bai Jinxuan and said, "If you think I'm fierce, then why are you still following me?"
"This fog is so scary. If I were the only one left, I would definitely not survive." Bai Jinxuan shuddered when he thought of that scene.
Chen Xu had been watching her and felt that she didn't seem to be pretending. He was a little curious and asked, "With a personality like yours, how did you make it in the entertainment industry?"
Although he doesn't pay attention to the entertainment industry, he knows that she is very popular now and even Chen Ziqi is her fan.
"Because I am destined to be a big star."
When Chen Xu saw her saying this, she looked inexplicably confident, as if she believed in her words. He felt a little amused, wondering if her confidence was misplaced.
He also became more talkative and asked her, "How many movies have you filmed?"
"No."
He was a little surprised. "Not even one?"
"Um."
"Then how did you become famous?" Chen Xu was a little confused. In his era, all stars became famous through their works. He had never filmed a movie, but he became famous. He had never heard of it.
Bai Jinxuan heard his doubts and said unconvincedly, "I have been on several variety shows and released songs."
Variety show?
Chen Xu suddenly wondered if he was getting old.
"What songs have you sung... never mind." He hadn't heard any new songs for many years. Even if he had heard some of them, he didn't know the names of the songs, so it was useless to ask.
While the two were talking, Bai Jinxuan had already finished a chocolate bar. After hesitating for a moment, he handed over the remaining one, "You haven't eaten yet, have you?"
"No, I have food." Chen Xu said as he collected the net on top of the cylindrical object on the ground and unscrewed the lid, which was filled with transparent liquid.
Bai Jinxuan asked curiously, "What is this?"
"An instrument that collects moisture from the air. It has a built-in filtering function." Chen Xu explained casually, pouring the water into a cup, and then took out a pack of compressed biscuits from his backpack, took out one, and put it in the cup.
This is a high-calorie compressed biscuit that can be exchanged with points. A small piece can provide enough calories for the human body.
After a while, the compressed biscuits soaked and turned into a cup of paste.
He finished his meal in a few bites and used the remaining water to clean the cup.
Bai Jinxuan had been watching from the side, and when Chen Xu took off his mask, his face seemed a little disappointed.
Chen Xu put his things back into his backpack and said, "Why, do you think I'm not handsome enough?"
“A little bit.”
"You're not afraid of me now?"
Bai Jinxuan whispered, "After I saw your appearance, I felt that you are a trustworthy person."
Chen Xu stared at her for a while and said, "I just don't think you have such low emotional intelligence. Okay, let's go."
"Where are you going?" She stood up quickly.
"Find a place to live."
…………
After two dreams, Chen Xu has gained sufficient experience. Since he cannot find the key clues in a short period of time, he will find a place to live first.
The key is food and water.
Water was not a big problem. First, he used his points to redeem an instrument that collected moisture from the air, so he didn't have to worry about a clean water source. Second, he went to the supermarket and found that most of the products were still there.
The problem was food. Although he exchanged for some high-calorie compressed biscuits, the quantity was not too much. If one person ate sparingly, he could probably last for a month.
So, collecting food is a top priority.
"Is this where you said you lived?"
"Yes." Chen Xu was checking the fuel tank. The fuel inside was about 80% full, which made him quite satisfied. It was enough to drive for a while.
Then, he opened the rear compartment and couldn't help but feel even more satisfied. There wasn't much cargo on it, just a dozen or so cardboard boxes. It was almost an empty compartment.
Bai Jinxuan followed him into the carriage, which was a bit stuffy. He couldn't help but cover his nose and said, "Why don't we find a house to live in first? Why do we have to live in the car?"
"If you are not satisfied, you can find a house to live in by yourself."
With just one sentence, she shut up.
Chen Xu opened the cartons and found some metal components inside. He tried to lift them but they were a bit heavy, so he left them alone for the time being.
After leaving the car, he walked to the front and took out a car key-like object from his backpack. This was a universal car key that could unlock all vehicles, and he exchanged it for ten points.
When he saw it for the first time, he thought this thing would be of great use.
He used the key to open the car door and got into the driver's seat, while Bai Jinxuan got in from the other door.
"Where are we going now?" she asked after Chen Xu lit the fire.
"supermarket."
…………
At night, the annoying thick fog is finally gone. It is pitch black everywhere and nothing can be seen.
In a supermarket, several small rechargeable desk lamps are on.
Chen Xu sat on a recliner, holding a mobile phone and swiping it non-stop.
Not far away, Bai Jinxuan was wearing earphones and flipping through a magazine. Under the incandescent light of the desk lamp, her face looked a little pale, and her hands were trembling slightly as she flipped through the magazine.
"Chen Xu." Suddenly, she shouted.
"Hmm?" Chen Xu responded without taking his eyes off the phone in his hand.
Bai Jinxuan closed the magazine and said seriously, "I think we must have traveled through time."
"Oh." Chen Xu responded casually.
Bai Jinxuan was very dissatisfied with his bland reaction and emphasized, "We have traveled through time. Do you understand? This is no longer Earth."
Chen Xu said, "Shouldn't you have guessed it when you saw the robot?"
She looked a little bewildered. "What should we do? We may not be able to go back. Woohoo, I don't want to. I just became a star, I haven't had enough."
She became sadder and sadder as she spoke, and she fell on her knees. "It's all over, it's all over. I just took on a few endorsements, and I haven't received the money yet. And, and, I haven't even had a relationship yet..."
"Okay. Can't you just be quiet for a while?" Chen Xu felt a little headache and threw his phone aside. The phone didn't even have a signal, so he couldn't make calls or go online. He couldn't find any useful information in the memory card.
Bai Jinxuan didn't dare to speak. He rested his chin on his knees, not knowing what he was thinking.
A few minutes passed.
She spoke again, "Chen Xu."
"What happened again?"
"I need to go to the bathroom."
"There's a toilet in the office we just went to, go there yourself."
“…I don’t dare go alone.”
“…”
"Also, I want to take a shower while I'm at it."
