The two employees came without bringing any daily necessities. Sarah's room had a simple bathroom where she could wash her face and brush her teeth. Ye Zhou only brought her toothpaste, toothbrush, towel, and a set of children's pajamas.
Zou Ming and Ye Zhou lived in the lounge and didn't need anything except a bed and toiletries.
Ye Zhou was so excited that he probably wouldn't be able to sleep until dawn. He watched Zou Ming go to wash up. When Zou Ming came back, Ye Zhou couldn't wait to ask, "Are you Chinese? A special forces soldier? How did you get on the system list?"
He was curious about Zou Ming and Sarah, and even more curious about the system.
He had no way of understanding her before, but now that a "strong man has finally fallen from the sky", he can't wait to drain her away.
Zou Ming was lying on the bed, wearing the light blue pajamas that Ye Zhou had given him, leaning against the headboard. The top two buttons of his pajamas were unbuttoned, revealing most of his chest. His honey-colored skin was particularly sexy under the light. He turned his head to look at Ye Zhou, and although his tone was flat, there was no sense of indifference or unfamiliarity: "I'm not a special forces soldier."
"He's Chinese," said Zou Ming.
The smile on Ye Zhou's face suddenly widened. When fellow villagers met, he immediately felt that Zou Ming became friendly.
But Zou Ming quickly added: "But in my era, the concept of the nation has disappeared."
Ye Zhou still had a smile on his face, and he let out an "ah" in confusion.
After Zou Ming's explanation, Ye Zhou finally understood why he said that.
Zou Ming is not a special forces soldier. Although he considers himself Chinese, the era he lives in is a post-apocalyptic wasteland era.
Human civilization is rapidly regressing. After wars and natural disasters, the earth's land is no longer suitable for farming, and steel is easily scrapped for various reasons.
Many areas are still shrouded in the shadow of nuclear pollution.
There is less and less arable land and water resources are in urgent need.
In Zou Ming's time, the situation of human beings was worse than the refugees Ye Zhou was dealing with now.
The scarcity of resources leads to competition, and people are either fighting or on the way to fighting.
Zou Ming obtained the system by accident and registered voluntarily because only the money earned through the system can be used to purchase goods circulating in the plane trading system.
Ye Zhou was shocked after hearing this. He asked a little embarrassedly: "We are not in the same plane, right?"
Zou Ming: “Not here.”
Ye Zhou breathed a sigh of relief. Even though it was something in the future, he still couldn't bear it if it happened in his world.
After chatting for such a long time, Ye Zhou looked at the time and it was already past four in the morning.
He said to Zou Ming, "I'm sorry for keeping you talking for so long. Go to sleep. We can get up later."
Anyway, no one would wake him up here.

Chen Liu was holding a bag in his arms, which was filled with rations prepared for him by the immortal. He could not go out to meet his fellow Huang bandits because he now had a job given by the immortal, and had to listen to Wu Yan when he went out.
Now that he has stepped into the immortal world, he should have cut off all ties with his past, but the immortal saved his life, and his brothers also saved his life, but he only has his own flesh and blood, and can only give to one person.
These rations are all he can give now.
There were seven or eight young men sitting around the fire, but they were not strong or fierce, and they did not have the appearance of the yellow bandits in the rumors. They leaned on each other, and their dry lips cracked and healed several times. Although they could no longer bleed, deep cracks were left.
They were lucky to have come this far.
Except for the first group of people who escaped and reached the pass, the rest basically died on the road.
Those who are still alive today are either lucky or have good physique.
Among them there was a man with a relatively strong build. His clothes were the same as the man next to him, but he also looked haggard, with long, dry and messy hair. They stared at the fire numbly, and no one spoke a word.
Chen Liu was squatting not far away. He had also escaped from disaster, and knew that when one is done escaping, one would not even have the strength to speak, nor be able to shed tears.
I don’t know what was going on in my mind. When I think about it now, I just feel like I was a breathing corpse at that time.
It was not until someone closed his eyes and fell asleep beside the fire that Chen Liu raised the bag and threw it towards the fire.
Although he was short, he had strong arms, and the bag fell right next to the tallest man.
"Who?!" A rough and hoarse male voice suddenly sounded.
Chen Liu was shocked. He didn't want to be kicked out of the team. His parents were still in the supermarket. They could deliver food but couldn't recognize each other.
So Chen Liu lowered his body, squatted behind a tree, and listened nervously to the noise outside.
The food in the bag was removed from its original packaging. When they left, the immortal specifically reminded them not to throw the packaging away casually, but to take everything back to the supermarket.
They had no objection and didn't think there was anything wrong. After all, it was something from the fairyland and shouldn't be left in the human world.
"Brother! It's a burden!" The thin man stood up with the help of the shoulder of the person next to him. He stumbled to the burden and turned around to look in confusion.
Those who had fallen asleep also woke up. They didn't know what had happened yet, and there was no life in their dull eyes.
The man called Big Brother walked over. He was probably the only one in the group who could barely stand.
The man who was no longer able to walk sat down and turned to look at the bundle on the ground.
They couldn't even think about where the bundle came from, who threw it, and why that person threw it.
But no one thought there would be water and food in the bag.
Water and grain are extremely precious things at this time. Food is cheap in times of peace and prosperity, but expensive in times of chaos.
Nowadays a sip of water can save a life.
"Big Brother" squatted down slowly, and at the moment he squatted down he couldn't help but sway twice and almost fell to the ground.
After he had squatted steadily and calmed down, he reached out and opened the bag.
The moment the bundle was unfolded, everyone who saw the contents held their breath. The first thing that caught their eyes was the bulging water bag. "Big Brother" subconsciously looked towards the woods not far away.
"Water..." Someone shouted hoarsely.
"Big Brother" didn't look at anything else. His hands, which had been weak for a long time, suddenly burst out with tremendous strength. He picked up the water bag with one hand and pulled out the wooden stopper on top. He put his nose to the mouth of the bag and sniffed, but didn't smell any bad smell.
He tasted it carefully, and after making sure it was water, he couldn't wait to take a big gulp!
But he didn't forget to leave some for his brothers.
"It's water." The "big brother" handed the water bag to the person closest to him, "Don't drink too much, leave some for the brothers."
The person next to him quickly took it and poured the water into his mouth without saying a word.
Even though the water bag is very big, after each person takes a sip, only a small half will be left.
Although everyone was still thirsty, no one dared to drink anymore.
This was the most water they had drunk in all those days.
If you are lucky, you can find a mud pit where wild animals drink water. Even if the water is hard to swallow, it can always quench your thirst.
If you are unlucky, you can only drink your own urine.
And you can’t just get it if you want it.
Although I couldn't resist the urge to drink up all the water, if I drank it now, there would be no more in the future.
After drinking the water, "Big Brother" looked under the water bag.
"They're all food." "Big Brother" couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
There were strange steamed bread slices, with a yellow circle on the outside and white on the inside, and extremely thick dried meat that looked more like beef than pork, as well as sugar cubes and dry biscuits.
Not a lot of variety, but plenty of it.
"I wonder which hero is here to help me!" The "big brother" forced himself to look away, stood up and shouted towards the woods, "I am Yang Zhi from Huangshan! Please come out and accept our brothers' greetings!"
Chen Liu, hiding in the dark, gritted his teeth and dared not make a sound.
There was no response. "Big Brother" used up his last bit of strength to shout, "It doesn't matter if you don't want to show up, but I will leave a token here. If you are lucky enough to survive, take this token to find me. Yang Zhi will definitely respond and I will repay you with my life!"
After saying this, Yang Zhi took out something from his arms and placed it respectfully on the stone.
He took out only a little of the things in the bag and shared them with everyone.
They ate voraciously, not caring if they choked or not, or even tasting the food, just swallowing it down into their stomachs.
Yang Zhi's peripheral vision was always on the edge of the woods, and he was certain that the person who threw the bundle was hiding in the woods.
Although they didn't know the other party's purpose, they didn't think they were enemies, but rather people who had had dealings with them and the Huang bandits.
But he thought about it over and over again, but he couldn't figure out who among the people related to the Huang bandit could find so much meat, food and water.
They are bandits. No matter what they do, good or bad, in the eyes of the people they are just murderous bandits.
Except for a few villages at the foot of Mount Huangshan, other people would flee even if they heard the word "Huang Bandit".
Banditry was rampant, and people considered anyone with the word "bandit" to be an evil spirit.
The brothers did not ask where the food came from. They did not want to delve into it, nor did they have the energy to think. After eating the food, they were already exhausted and felt drowsy, so they leaned against a tree and fell asleep.
Chen Liu looked at Yang Zhi. In fact, he had never dealt with Brother Yang. He was just a small follower in the mountains and only acted with followers like him. Even when he saw Yang Zhi, he never spoke to him.
He heard from his brothers that Brother Yang came from a good family and was the son of a landlord, but he was not an evil man who was rich and unkind.
In order to protect the tenants under him, Yang Zhi took his family's farmhands to the county to beat drums to protest, angrily denouncing the local county magistrate for taking human lives lightly and swallowing ink wantonly.
As a result, Yang Zhi was thrown into prison and the Yang family's property was ransacked.
It was the king who sent people to abduct his parents and sisters to the mountain and robbed the execution ground, which saved his life.
Although Yang Zhi was not the king of Mount Huangshan, he was literate, had a strong physique, and was loyal to the king. Therefore, even if he had no title, he was no different from the second king.
He is a good man.
Chen Liu clenched his fists and thought.
But the most people who die in this world are good people.
He looked at the "token" that Yang Zhi placed on the stone, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
The immortal has magical powers! As long as the immortal sees this thing, he will definitely know that Brother Yang is a good person!
Then the immortal will come to save us!
There is only one main road here. As long as he travels fast enough, day and night, he will be able to make the round trip.
Chen Liu made up his mind. He bent over and wanted to take the "token" while Yang Zhi and the others were sleeping.
