"Wan'er won't, because that middle-aged man hasn't returned yet; they must still be waiting here."
As for why they didn't open the door, should we assume they're bad guys? Or maybe they're starving due to food shortages? It seems the only solution is to use force.
"Wan'er, let's force the door open! They're probably too scared to open it!" Junjue suggested.
Thinking of the bloody and horrific events that had recently occurred below, she could understand why the other party wouldn't open the door; she would have done the same if she were in their shoes.
"That's the only way." After saying that, Wan'er walked to the side to wait.
Seeing Wan'er walk to the side, Junjue kicked the door with all his might.
"Boom!"
The entire door instantly shattered into countless fragments.
Now that the end times have come, I hope nothing bad will happen to them! These are the people others asked them to help rescue. They kicked the door open and went into the room to find a mother and daughter who had fainted from hunger.
They were extremely thin because of food shortages and prolonged periods without eating.
Wan'er looked at the mother and daughter with a pained expression, her heart filled with guilt.
They were supposed to come yesterday, but something came up and they were delayed.
In this apocalyptic world, people fight tooth and nail for limited resources to survive, and few care about the life or death of others.
But Wan'er is not that kind of person, and Junjue, as her boyfriend, was also influenced by her. They believed in the power of kindness and benevolence, so they helped Li Ping and Chen Yan without hesitation.
Junjue immediately took out two bottles of water from his spatial storage and, together with Wan'er, carefully dripped the water onto the girl's and woman's lips.
The girl slowly woke up, her eyes filled with confusion and fear. Seeing that someone was actually trying to help them, a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes.
"Who... are you?" the girl asked weakly.
The nobleman said gently to the girl, "Don't be afraid, we were sent by your father to rescue you."
"You fainted just now because you were hungry, and now I have prepared food for you." With that, the Duke took out some bread and canned food from his spatial storage and placed them in front of the girl and the woman.
Li Ping excitedly grabbed the other person's hand, tears welling up in her eyes, and said in a trembling voice:
"Is my...family member...?" She burst into tears instantly.
"Where is my dad? I can't see him," the girl asked anxiously.
"Your father... he was tragically killed when a piece of wall fell on him while he was riding his motorcycle." Wan'er gritted her teeth and said cruelly.
"I knew something had happened to him. If he were here, he would have come back to pick us up long ago," Li Ping cried sadly.
"Waaaaah... How could Daddy be so heartless as to leave us?" Chen Yan cried uncontrollably, hugging his mother, unwilling to accept the fact that his father had left them.
"Before he left, he begged us to bring you food, which is why we came to find you," the Duke said with a sigh.
"That's just how he is. No matter if he's sick or what, he always puts us first."
"My name is Li Ping, and this is my daughter, Chen Yan. Thank you so much, you've been so kind," Li Ping said, her voice choked with emotion.
"Aunt Li, please don't say no. We will be sending the people here to the official shelter soon. Are you planning to go there?"
"Whether you go or not, we will respect your opinion," Wan'er said with heartache as she looked at the two thin people.
Upon hearing that the other party was taking people to the official shelter, Li Ping excitedly said, "Go...go...we've wanted to go for a long time."
If it weren't for waiting for him, we would have set off long ago.
Because the world is no longer as peaceful as it used to be; it has long since become chaotic.
“Alright! Since you’ve agreed, please eat something to regain your strength. Our car is downstairs. Once you’ve finished eating and settled in, we’ll head to the official shelter,” Shangguan Wan’er said with a smile.
Thank you!
Li Ping picked up the bread with trembling excitement, smelled its aroma, licked her chapped lips, and said in a trembling voice:
"Thank you so much! Thank you so much! Yan'er and I haven't had a proper meal in so long."
"Thank you, sister and brother!" Chen Yan said, her voice choked with emotion, before wolfing down the bread in her hand.
She used to hate bread the most, but now even the thing she hated the most has become the most luxurious and delicious thing.
"Don't be shy, just be careful not to choke. You're still quite weak, do you really not need us to feed you?"
"Mmm! I'll be careful, sister. I don't need you to feed me. I drank some water earlier and I feel much better."
Junjue and Wan'er stood guard by their side, while Li Ping and Chen Yan wolfed down their food, trying their best to control their portions so they wouldn't choke.
After the two finished eating, they licked the remaining crumbs off the bag. Their stomachs, which had been empty for a long time, were filled with food, and they were incredibly happy.
In this apocalyptic world, food is as precious as gold, and there is no room for waste.
"Do you want more? I have some more here." Seeing the satisfied expressions on the two people's faces, Junjue asked in a cool tone.
"No need, it's not good to eat too much after being hungry for so long."
"What are your names? Thank you so much! Otherwise, my daughter and I would have starved to death." Li Ping thought she and her daughter were going to starve to death, but she never expected to meet these two kind people.
Perhaps his wife couldn't bear to leave them, mother and daughter, before she died, so she sent the two of them to rescue everyone in this building!
"No need to be so polite. My name is Junjue, and this is my girlfriend, Shangguan Wan'er. You can call her whatever name you like," Junjue introduced.
"So you two are a couple! It's a pity the black smog is so thick. I really wanted to see what you look like so I could remember your saviors forever," Li Ping said with a smile.
"It was nothing, no need to mention it!"
After Li Ping and Chen Yan had eaten and drunk their fill and chatted for a while, they finally had the energy.
Li Ping told them that she and Chen Yan had been hiding in this room because the outside world was too dangerous.
They had been relying on some food reserves to survive, but recently the food had been running out and they were about to run out of food. That's when her husband went out to look for supplies, but who knew he would be so unfortunate.
Junjue and Wan'er felt heavy-hearted upon hearing this. They knew that in this apocalyptic world, every day was a struggle for survival.
They have also experienced hardships, but they believe that as long as they join hands and help each other, they will be able to overcome difficulties.
"Have you recovered your strength? There are still many people waiting outside."
"I've recovered a lot. I don't know when this natural disaster will end. I probably won't be coming back here again. I'll take Yan'er to change her clothes first, and then I'll pack some important things and leave with you."
"Okay! We'll wait for you!"
