"Tell me, how did you meet Jiang Shuyin?"
The man's tone softened considerably when he said those three words, especially when he pronounced them.
Long Ying instantly understood: "Are you and Shu Yin friends?"
She had made up her mind.
The man's brows slowly relaxed: "We were together before."
Long Ying glanced at them discreetly, then remained silent.
The man's eyes narrowed sharply: "Speak!"
Long Ying pretended to be hesitant: "Shu Yin and I are friends. I won't tell you what you're going to do until you explain it clearly."
"...There are plenty of people who would want to do your job."
Long Ying's expression changed: "Then in your heart, is Shu Yin really that important?"
The man, at a loss, remained silent for a long time before asking, "Will she come back to the base?"
Long Ying reached out and beckoned him. After a moment's thought, the man promised, "If I can see her, I'll give you a raise."
Seeing that she had the upper hand, Long Ying smiled and said, "She told me that she would come back in about two weeks, but I don't know the exact time. However, I can keep an eye on her at the door for you. But if that happens, I won't be able to go to work normally."
She understood the assembly line work after a day; it didn't require much technical skill, and she couldn't grasp the core principles. She found it uninteresting and thought it better to explore business opportunities elsewhere.
Man: "I'll give you a month. If you don't succeed, I'll feed you to my fish."
Long Ying smiled and said, "Now that I don't have a cell phone, how can I notify you? It takes too long to run from the door to here. What if Shuyin runs away again?"
The last few words brought back unpleasant memories for the man, and his expression grew even colder.
He took out the soon-to-be-released phone from under his desk and pushed it towards her. Long Ying examined it closely, finding it to be quite nice to hold, and guessing it wouldn't be cheap.
She's always been lucky; the opportunity she got by eating cat food for two months was worth it.
After adding the boss's contact information, I discovered that the other party's profile picture was an ice-blue ball.
What a strange aesthetic.
Long Ying used her advance salary to rent a one-bedroom, one-living room, one-bathroom, and one-kitchen apartment and brought all the cats back to live there.
After being released for a few days, the cats became filthy and one of them was even injured.
"The people at the base are starving; they even want to eat cat meat," Long Ying said angrily.
It took her a whole day just to bathe the cats; her back was killing her.
Anyway, Jiang Shuyin just left today, so she can rest for two days without any problems.
I rested in bed the next day and let my back heal. In the evening, I planned to take the cat for a walk.
When I went outside, I saw that there wasn't a single person in sight, and not even a single light was on.
"I almost forgot that this is the apocalypse."
The mutants come out during the day, but they are more active at night, and they will come towards the light and sound they see.
Just in case, the base has implemented an ancient curfew system, strictly prohibiting anyone from leaving the base after 8 p.m., or they will be treated as monsters.
Having learned three bloody lessons, the people at the base have become more honest.
Early on the third day, Long Ying took the cat out to find food. After comparing prices, she bought a bowl of noodles and a steamed bun.
Perhaps it was because she was extremely hungry that time and smelled the aroma of steamed buns that she became addicted to them.
I ate a steamed bun with this noodle soup.
Half an hour later, she was full, but the cats were still meowing from hunger.
If you want your kitten to grow up well, you must first feed it well.
Before the apocalypse, the cat food she sold was all imported, and the snacks were beef jerky and Ganoderma lucidum powder. Now she herself is almost starving, so she can only make do with the cats.
After wandering around the base, she actually found a place that sold cat food.
Long Ying grabbed a handful from the sack, brought it to her nose, and smelled it: "Is this about to expire?"
The boss, seeing that she was with a group of cats behind her, also a cat lover, went over and picked one up to pet it: "The processing plant we encountered when we went out on a mission with the search team before was full of cat and dog food. The dog food was bought up by the special task force's police dogs, but there was a lot of cat food. I still have three big bags at home. If no one buys it, we are planning to eat it ourselves when we are starving."
Long Ying's face darkened slightly. She squatted down and fed the cats the food in her hand. Only after seeing that the cats ate without vomiting did she agree to buy more: "How much is a bag?"
"Since you have so many cats to raise, I'll charge you 10 mission points."
"We are all cat lovers, and I thank you on behalf of the cats."
"Oh, it's nothing. Let me pet the cat a little longer next time."
Long Ying was about to leave, wondering how she was going to move such a heavy thing.
While her cat-loving brother went back to get the goods, she wandered around the neighborhood and discovered a job market. A rickshaw trip cost 3 task points, and that rickshaw could bring all the cat food back.
Long Ying went over to discuss it and asked the strong man to deliver cat food to her apartment door for 5 mission points.
Her life with her cats finally settled down temporarily.
Ten days later.
On the shore lay a corpse that looked remarkably like a mermaid. It had no hair, and its upper body didn't resemble a human's; rather, it looked like a fish in the early stages of evolution towards humans, a bizarre and grotesque form.
This time, the response team used several fishing boats to jointly encircle and suppress the enemy at sea. Jiang Shuyin did not touch the crystal core in the corpse.
Seeing that the task was completed, he prepared to take a vacation and go home.
She's gained weight during this time.
Sister-in-law Deng always fed her all kinds of delicious food, and in addition, she intentionally trained her mental strength, so she rarely moved around, and her face became rounder.
Xie Yin's eyes curved into a smile: "You're even cuter like this. If human flesh didn't need bones for support, the larger the size, the more respectable you would be."
He had seen the most powerful creature in the world, a Bhikkhu, larger than the Earth, living in the void, boneless, whose body would become hardened by energy during battle, and would revert to a pile of flesh after the battle ended.
Unlike the highly intelligent inhabitants, monks have low intelligence but a strong fighting spirit; their genes are coded with the idea of 'constantly proving their strength'.
