Wan'er stood on the victorious battlefield, panting.
"Yes! Wan'er is great!"
Hearing the other person's voice, Wan'er said somewhat dejectedly, "Junjue, why do I feel like you've been playing games with me all along?"
"Really? Wan'er, are you seeing things?" He tried so hard to act, even letting the monster hurt him a couple of times, so why could Wan'er still sense it?
"No? Maybe I'm overthinking it!"
Her gaze swept around and found only darkness. Only the Duke noticed that apart from the corpses of mutated animals, there were no other living beings around.
“My lord, we don’t know how long this chaotic world will last, or when everything will be restored. We still need to continue searching for useful resources,” Wan’er said firmly.
"Okay! Anyway, there's plenty of space, so it doesn't matter how much I think about it."
Junjue nodded, and they sorted out the supplies and put them into their spatial storage, discarding the broken and dirty items.
The two of them finished collecting all the supplies in the wholesale market and then teleported to other places to continue collecting supplies. It wasn't until after 7 p.m. that they had finished collecting one-third of the supplies in Weining City.
When the two returned to the vicinity of the supermarket, they suddenly heard a series of screams, which startled them.
"Help!"
"Oh no... this is terrifying! They're lying at the supermarket entrance, how are we going to get back?!"
"Why are there two mutated animals here?"
"These two mutated creatures are huge! They look like mutated dogs?"
...
Hearing the terrified voices of the group, Junjue and Wan'er exchanged a glance, filled a backpack with supplies to conceal their presence, and quickly teleported back to the supermarket entrance.
Hearing a group of people still howling, Wan'er said speechlessly:
"Um, I'm sorry! Those are two mixed-breed dogs that my boyfriend and I raise. They don't eat people and have no ill intentions towards you."
"Awoo~"
"Woof woof woof~"
The five black daylily buds had been tormented by the screams of a group of people for a long time. When they heard their owner return, they quickly began to complain.
"This is your dog? It's clearly a mutant animal. Your mutant dog scared us. You have to compensate us for our emotional distress."
A woman with sharp teeth and a decent figure, but her hair was like a bird's nest, and her whole body was dark and looked like she hadn't showered in a long time.
She stood there with her hands on her hips, speaking with great excitement.
"This... my dog was just lying here waiting for us, it didn't hurt you, why should we pay you for emotional distress?" Wan'er said speechlessly.
“But they scared us!” Another woman took a step forward, saw that the other person had a large backpack full of supplies, licked her lips which were peeling, and said with a determined look.
"How much supplies do you want?" the Duke asked coldly.
"Awoo~"
"Woof~".
Upon hearing that their owner wanted to compensate them for the supplies, the five black daylilies protested with a wronged expression. They hadn't hurt the other party, so why should they be compensated?
"Five...five packs of instant noodles!"
"Ten packs of instant noodles!" another woman chimed in.
"You have quite the appetite. This isn't a society governed by the rule of law anymore. How dare you cheat us like this?"
"Or maybe we should just let our dog eat you two annoying women up," the Duke said lazily.
Upon hearing the man's words, the two dogs slowly stood up from the ground, walked over to the two women, and growled softly.
"Roar roar roar~"
"Woof woof woof~"
The woman looked at the large-headed Lu in front of her, touched her face which was covered in spit, and trembled with fear as she stammered for mercy:
"What...what do you want to do? No...you don't want to eat me! We were wrong! I don't want the instant noodles anymore!"
The other one was already trembling and weak with fear, lying on the ground with his eyes closed in terror.
"Don't...eat me, I...I was wrong, I shouldn't have tricked you, I'll never do it again."
As soon as he finished speaking, a wet patch appeared on his clothes, and a strong smell of urine filled the air, so strong that people nearby quickly covered their noses.
"Wouldn't it have been fine if we had just done it this way earlier?" Shangguan Wan'er replied coldly.
"Wu Hei, Huang Huacai, you two stay here and keep watch. We'll be going to look for supplies tomorrow," Junjue instructed.
"Awoo~"
"Woof~"
The two dogs obediently lay back down and watched their owner walk into the supermarket. They really wanted to follow them in!
But looking at her own large body, she could only lie there feeling wronged.
I really miss the days when I slept in a doghouse, with my owner always by my side.
Hearing the couple leave, the women, feeling weak all over, scrambled to their feet. Feeling uncomfortable and embarrassed, they quickly leaned against the wall and went back to change their clothes.
After changing their clothes, the women quickly said to their husbands:
"A couple just walked in carrying a big bag of food. Should we snatch it from them?"
They've been going hungry for a long time, and now they've run out of food. If they don't find something to eat soon, they'll starve to death.
During famine years, people could still eat grass roots and trees, but after the arrival of corrosive acid rain, their area became barren, with hardly any grass roots or trees left, not even a few dead trees!
"Are you telling the truth?" A man covered in tattoos licked his chapped lips after hearing the woman's words, a dark glint flashing in his eyes.
"Really, Sister Li saw it too. Maybe they're trying to figure something out now!" the woman said excitedly to her husband.
"Alright! Since it's true, let's grab our weapons and rob them!" the tattooed man said excitedly.
“But they have two mutated animals guarding the entrance,” the woman said fearfully.
"What's there to be afraid of? They're just two young people. We can kill them quietly in a bit."
"Oh well!"
Meanwhile, the couple in the other room had also made their plan: the guy would knock the couple unconscious, grab the food, and leave as soon as possible.
Anyway, there are more than a dozen people in this room, and it's a smoggy day where you can't see your hand in front of your face. As long as they don't say anything, who will know that they did it?
...
In a dilapidated and chaotic supermarket, Junjue carried a bag of food and led Wan'er inside to find a quiet corner to rest.
Because of the smog, the entire supermarket was shrouded in a thick black fog, making visibility extremely blurry, and people seemed to disappear into the haze.
Junjue found a relatively secluded corner, gently put down his backpack, took Wan'er's hand, and leaned against the wall next to the supermarket shelves.
They held their breath, silently savoring a moment of tranquility amidst the bustling city.
However, they were unaware that two couples above them were already watching them.
Suddenly, a faint sound of footsteps approached, which alerted them slightly, but they paid no attention to it.
Those damn bastards, how dare they! I really want to kill them all!
Junjue glanced at his girlfriend beside him, suppressed the ruthlessness that flashed in his eyes, and comforted her in a depressed mood.
I'm a good person in this life, I can't be a single dog like in my last life, living as I please and being bloodthirsty!
