Dormitory 312.
It was pitch black inside, but the outline of a figure could still be seen in the moonlight.
Shen Ruilin lay in bed and fell asleep. Only deep sleep could reduce the body's hunger.
Feng Huaizhi had never lived in the end of the world, so he didn't have that much perseverance. He sat on the ground with his back against the cabinet blocking the door. His eyes were empty, he looked thinner, and his whole body looked very decadent.
The lack of water made his voice hoarse. "Old Shen, we're not going to die, are we? When will the rescue team you mentioned come? I can't hold on any longer. And Zhou Jie, that kid, I don't know how he's doing now."
Shen Ruilin opened his eyes, which were bloodshot. Although he slept every day, the annoyance in his heart prevented him from sleeping at all.
Shen Ruilin was a little worried about Jiang Qiao. He didn't know how she was doing now, but he just hoped that she would not be displaced like in her previous life.
Logically, rescue should arrive within three days, but there is no movement yet.
"We won't die, hold on."
The endless darkness and hunger drove Feng Huaizhi almost crazy. He cried, but he didn't dare to cry out loud. His nose was running. "Old Shen, I miss my parents."
Shen Ruilin said nothing.
Just before they were completely disappointed.
Finally, the rescue army arrived.
Gunshots rang out all around, and the sound of helicopters could be heard.
An army strangled zombies on campus, knocking them down one by one and collecting crystal cores.
Shen Ruilin sat up, his face was full of vicissitudes and his beard was unshaven.
He said, "Let's go out."
The surviving students were settled in a military vehicle. Shen Ruilin took advantage of the chaos to pick up a crystal core and put it in his pocket, then squatted in the corner with Feng Huaizhi.
Fu Shuyao was also in this car. After escaping from the restaurant that day, she returned to the dormitory and hid.
When she saw Shen Ruilin, Fu Shuyao remembered that he was Jiang Qiao's boyfriend. She narrowed her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.
…
It is night now.
Jiang Qiao knocked on Pei Yan's door.
The door was opened quickly.
Pei Yan was wearing a white sweater and baggy pajamas. He looked like he had been woken up, and his eyes lit up the moment he saw Jiang Qiao.
"Sister...you...are you looking for me...for something?"
His appearance made Jiang Qiao, who had prepared many questions, fall silent.
[Host, host, don't be silly, speak up!]
Jiang Qiao came back to his senses and coughed twice: "That, that is... I, um... are you used to living here?"
Pei Yan blinked and turned sideways: "Sister, this place... is very good, do you want to... come in and talk?
Jiang Qiao: Everyone, look carefully, I didn’t want to go in, he invited me in!
Jiang Qiao walked in and found a chair to sit down.
Pei Yan followed behind her, standing there staring at her without saying a word, as if he was obeying Jiang Qiao's orders.
Jiang Qiao felt that he was being unkind. How could he let someone stand? "Come and sit down!"
Pei Yan tilted his head, hesitated for a moment, walked over, then sat on Jiang Qiao's lap and put his arms around her neck.
Jiang Qiao: ??? That’s not what I meant!
Wangcai: ??? The host is really playing tricks!
Jiang Qiao felt the sensation on his legs, his old face turned red, and he subconsciously sat up straight, but when he met the man's eyes, his face also turned red, as if it was the first time he did this.
[Ding Dong~ Congratulations to the host for reaching 35% strategy value. I hope the host will continue to work hard. Kiss~]
Jiang Qiao: "Well, stand up first. I meant for you to find a place to sit, not like this."
Pei Yan's eyes darkened when he heard this. Didn't she like him? But if she didn't like him, why would she save him?
When he lived in the slums, he saw how people tried to please others.
"Sister... don't you... like it?"
Jiang Qiao: No, I like it very much.
Wangcai: No, she likes it very much.
Jiang Qiao finally regained his composure and said, "Don't keep treating me like this. I didn't save you for your sake."
Pei Yan lowered his eyes and looked into Jiang Qiao's eyes: "Sister... I am willing, I like this... I want to stay... I want to stay forever."
Jiang Qiao didn't expect Pei Yan to be worried about these things. She softened her tone and said, "You can stay here forever."
[Ding Dong~ Congratulations to the host for reaching 40% of the strategy value. I hope the host will continue to work hard. Kiss~]
"Then...can I follow you all the time?"
Jiang Qiao: "Of course, I will always be with you."
[Ding Dong~ Congratulations to the host for reaching 45% of the strategy value. I hope the host will continue to work hard. Kiss~]
Pei Yan's deep blue eyes lit up even brighter, and a huge smile blossomed on his face, pure and beautiful: "I will also...always be with you, sister. Please don't...go back on your word." Otherwise...
[Ding Dong~ Congratulations to the host for reaching 48% of the strategy value. I hope the host will continue to work hard. Kiss~]
Jiang Qiao listened to her strategy value rising rapidly and began to feel narcissistic. She was just charming.
Wangcai: ...It's obviously our Lord God who conquers himself, okay?
Jiang Qiao asked another question: "Pei Yan, aren't you curious about why I know you and why I saved you?"
Pei Yan's eyes were dim, and his expression was hard to describe: "I'm curious, but I know... Sister is the best person I've ever met... and I like... Sister very much."
Jiang Qiao couldn't ask any more questions, so she said good night and left the room.
Pei Yan stood there looking at the closed door. After an unknown amount of time, he said, "Good night."
[Ding Dong~ Congratulations to the host for reaching 53% of the strategy value. I hope the host will continue to work hard. Kiss~]
After Jiang Qiao returned to her room, she lay on the big bed and stared at the ceiling. She tossed and turned, unable to sleep. "Wangcai, can you tell me about Pei Yan's childhood?"
Of course you can!
Wangcai pointed to the information on the blue screen and read: [Pei Yan is the product of humans and mermaids. Logically speaking, he should not have been born because of the boundary between species, but he was born by breaking this boundary. When he was born, his human father disappeared and his mermaid mother died. It can be said that he is the first half-merman.
This kind of bloodline is dirty to the mermaid clan. He was born with human legs and was thrown into the human world by the mermaid clan to fend for himself. Finally, he was picked up and raised by an old scavenger. He grew up in a garbage dump.
At the age of eight, he first transformed into a fishtail, the first time he realized his difference from humans. He ran away, only to return to the slums after regaining control of his legs and tail. By the time he returned from that runaway trip, his grandfather had passed away, and Pei Yan was unable to see the old man for the last time.
After that, no one took care of him anymore, and Pei Yan became a drifter, working as a waiter in a restaurant and selling drinks in a bar. After get off work, he would return to that garbage dump. This went on for several years until he was noticed and captured by the Ku Ming Research Institute.
Jiang Qiao felt unhappy. "So he keeps trying to please me because he's afraid he'll never have a home again?"
The wind outside was roaring and the silent night was roaring.
Jiang Qiao fell asleep in this depressed state.
