Her heart had already turned cold even before she had experienced the apocalypse.
"Very good." Ah Xuan reached out and touched Shen Wangshu's forehead.
He lowered his eyes, seemingly lost in thought, and quickly rattled off a list of materials, asking Shen Wangshu if she had them. Shen Wangshu's space contained all these things. After nodding, Ah Xuan, who had just learned that Shen Wangshu had a space, showed no suspicion at all about the supplies that suddenly appeared before him. He easily picked up the various sharp nails, copper wires, and small tools and walked towards the villa's outer wall and gate.
Shen Wangshu stared in disbelief as the man jumped onto the wall, which was several meters high.
He ignored the zombies outside the wall who were looking up and howling with drool, and focused on embedding all the iron nails into the top of the wall.
He then adjusted the long copper wire, winding it back and forth in mid-air at various points, connecting the other end to the small nail guns and other small objects.
He firmly mounted more than a dozen nail guns at different angles throughout the villa. Not only that, he also dug small pits in hidden spots on the ground throughout the villa.
The pit was filled with nails.
"Tell your uncle and aunt to be careful not to step on it." Ah Xuan had been busy for a long time, but there was no sweat on his head, only a sickly redness.
Shen Wangshu quietly looked at the man.
This man, even in the last moments of his life, was still busy trying to ensure her safety.
"Why don't you take a break?" She saw Ning's father and mother looking at Ah Xuan's busy work with complicated expressions in the villa. The gratitude and emotion in Ning's father's expression made Shen Wangshu feel sorry for Ah Xuan in her heart.
She saw Ah Xuan sway slightly, walked over, hugged his strong waist, and whispered, "You've done enough. If it weren't for you..." She smiled but didn't say much, only holding Ah Xuan's hand, not wanting to let go. Ah Xuan obviously didn't want to either, and while holding Shen Wangshu's hand, seeing that Ning's parents seemed to have disappeared, he hurriedly scratched Shen Wangshu's palm.
He still maintains an aloof and cold demeanor, but behind that facade lies a surprisingly passionate and savvy personality.
Not to be outdone, Shen Wangshu extended her little finger and hooked it with Ah Xuan's finger.
Their little fingers were intertwined, and neither of them let go.
"Ah... Xuan, come and have some water." Ning's mother walked over with a smile, holding a glass of clear and sweet juice in her hands.
She had heard the screams coming from outside the villa. Although it was still far from the gate, she could still see large splatters of dark blood seeping into the villa. She knew she was powerless to help. Seeing Ah Xuan thank her and drink the wine, she then instructed Shen Wangshu, "It's chaotic outside. You're just a young girl; don't go out and cause trouble." Ning's mother didn't force Ah Xuan to go and save the people.
"You've worked up a good sweat, look how red your face is. Go back and wipe it off properly," Ning's mother said to Ah Xuan with a smile.
Shen Wangshu subconsciously looked up and saw that the tall man's wheat-colored face was bright red.
She reached out and touched it, her expression changing drastically.
Ah Xuan has started to have a fever.
All the zombies are transformed from infected people who have fallen into a fever and coma. After they get up from the ground again, they have no memory of their previous lives.
Shen Wangshu looked at A Xuan with unease.
Ning's mother's expression also darkened.
Ah Xuan said nothing, bent down and collected the remaining nails on the ground, placed them in Shen Wangshu's hand, stared at her for a long time, and then turned and walked towards the second floor of the villa.
The direction he was heading was clearly the small warehouse with the thick steel door that Shen Wangshu had mentioned before.
That room used to be where Ning's father collected antiques, and it was once filled with precious antiques that Ning's father had purchased from many collectors.
Although it was later proven that these antiques were all fakes, causing Ning's father to pay a hefty price for his investment, he still considered them family heirlooms to be passed down through the ages while the fakes were still exposed. Therefore, he specially installed thick steel doors and placed a small bed inside, intending to live with his antiques at all times. The storeroom was well-ventilated, but somewhat dimly lit.
Shen Wangshu followed Ah Xuan to the front of the warehouse and looked into his eyes.
"Take care of yourselves." Father Ning sighed, but did not stop Shen Wangshu and A Xuan from going in together.
Shen Wangshu turned around and looked at her father with remorse.
"You've got a good eye this time," Ning's father said, stroking Shen Wangshu's hair. "Better than that kid who pushed you away."
Ning Rou's ex-boyfriend was the one who had pushed Shen Wangshu away from the zombie in the mall just now. He used to be a witty, handsome, and charming young man, his words always filled with sweet tenderness. But in the face of real crisis, he made the choice he truly believed in. However, at that time, he fled down the stairs to the mall's lower exit. With so many zombies and panicked screaming crowds mixed together, Shen Wangshu didn't even need to think to know what would happen to him.
He pushed her away, and then he died. It was that simple.
Compared to the other woman's sinister intentions, none of that mattered.
Shen Wangshu couldn't help but look towards the direction of the villa's gate.
Song Xi has not appeared. It is unknown whether she has been overwhelmed by the zombies in the mall or something has happened that prevented her from receiving the supplies in the villa.
After all, there are still SUVs and gasoline in the villa.
Since Song Xi didn't appear at this time, if he wasn't dead, he probably wouldn't care about these small supplies and would instead head to the city where the survivor base is located.
