Chapter 24 Uneasiness
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Yu took out some snacks from the space and ate while browsing the current affairs news on his mobile phone.
As the number of infections grew, the cause remained unknown. The government was forced to temporarily restrict travel and prevent people from interacting with each other. The lockdown order plunged people into panic, leaving supermarkets empty and daily necessities in dire straits.
All the trajectories completely coincide with what Qiao Yu experienced in his previous life.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door. The sound was a little light, as if they were afraid to disturb her.
Qiao Yu opened the door a crack, revealing only a pair of eyes. Seeing Cheng Sinian standing outside with a plate in hand, he smiled awkwardly, "Is it for me?"
Cheng Sinian nodded, his tone full of concern: "You don't eat in the morning, and you don't eat at noon. Are you planning to cultivate immortality?"
Qiao Yu smiled awkwardly, "Actually, I had some snacks, so I'm not very hungry..."
"Snacks can't be eaten as meals..." Cheng Sinian shook his head helplessly, "You're a Chinese medicine student."
Seeing that Qiao Yu was still hiding behind the door and refused to take the plate, Cheng Sinian finally felt that something was wrong. He raised his eyebrows slightly, and a hint of ridicule flashed in his eyes: "Is it... inconvenient for you to come out?"
Qiao Yu's face flushed instantly. Seeing this, Cheng Sinian's suspicions were confirmed, so he continued teasingly, "Tsk tsk tsk, it looks like the battle is quite intense... Sister-in-law?"
Qiao Yu's blood rushed to his head, and he stared at him viciously and said, "I don't want to eat it! Take it away!" Then he slammed the door shut, obviously looking angry and humiliated.
Cheng Sinian was turned away, but he didn't get angry. He just put the plate on the ground at the door, and then walked downstairs while lazily calling, "The food is at the door, remember to take it."
After a few minutes, the door quietly opened a crack. Seeing that Cheng Sinian had really put down his things and left, Qiao Yu quickly opened the door, brought the tray into the room, and then quickly closed the door.
After Qiao Yu finished her meal, she began to repeatedly practice inducing the birth of the Jade Seed. After only two practices, Jiang Zhan came back. Qiao Yu was stunned, then happily threw herself into his arms, saying in a sweet voice, "Why are you back so early?"
Jiang Zhan hugged her tightly, kissed her lips, and said softly: "I said I would come back early to accompany you."
Qiao Yu felt a sweet feeling in her heart. She raised her head and nibbled his chin, and her arms around him tightened a little.
Seeing her barefoot on the ground, Jiang Zhan quickly picked her up and put her back on the bed. Then he sat on the edge of the bed, lifted up his shirt, held her slightly cold feet, and placed them directly on his stomach. "Why aren't you wearing shoes again? What if you catch a cold?" Although he was blaming her, his tone was full of doting and helplessness.
Qiao Yu moved her toes and said, "No, I'm not cold." There was heating in the room, the floor was not very cold, and she had only stood there for a short while.
Jiang Zhan turned a deaf ear and continued to warm her feet. He didn't get up until the temperature of her feet returned to normal. Then he got up and changed into his home clothes. Then he came back, lifted the quilt and crawled in, holding her against the headboard.
Jiang Zhan kissed her forehead and whispered mysteriously, "Baby, there's a little surprise in today's supplies. Can you guess what it is?"
Qiao Yu's eyes lit up and he looked up at him: "What is it?"
Jiang Zhan smiled and couldn't help but kiss her eyes again. Then he didn't keep her in suspense any longer and handed all the supplies in the space to her.
A lot of gasoline, diesel, and three... Romantes Shandka RVs.
This heavy-duty RV is a four-character description: "tall and mighty." Its high chassis gives it exceptional off-road capabilities. The body is constructed of thick steel plates and explosion-proof paint, the roof is covered with numerous solar panels, and all windows are protected by protective nets for collision and explosion resistance, giving it a very secure feel.
The driver's cab and the living area at the rear are connected, with a through opening in the middle. You can open the door and crawl through. There is also a side door on the side of the car body, which can directly lead to the living area. Looking in from the side door, the first thing you see when you enter is the reception area. The reception area is a facing booth, equipped with an electric lift table. When needed, the electric lift table can be lowered to form a double bed with the booth. There are two large storage spaces under the booth, and an electric lift double bed is added above. The outside of the bed is surrounded by wooden boards. When it is lowered, it looks like a space capsule, which is very private.
Opposite the reception area is the kitchen. It consists of an induction cooktop and sink, topped with a small car-mounted range hood and a wall-mounted microwave, and a small washing machine below. Next to it is a 155-liter split-type refrigerator with a top freezer and a bottom refrigerator.
On the other side is a bathroom separated by a wooden sliding door. Next to the bathroom, through a small door, is a mini-bathroom with a toilet and sink. Finally, at the rear, a small bedroom separated by a sliding door houses a large double bed, though storage beneath the bed provides ample space.
Qiao Yu was indeed very surprised. Having such an RV in the apocalypse would make it much more comfortable no matter where he went.
Seeing the sparkle in her eyes, Jiang Zhan smiled indulgently and asked in a low voice, "Do you like it?"
"Hmm!" Qiao Yu raised her head and kissed his lips, then lowered her head to rub his chest, her voice filled with excitement: "I like it, I like it very much."
Jiang Zhan licked his lips, and his eyes suddenly became a little dark.
Seeing Jiang Zhan had stopped moving, Qiao Yu looked up at him, only to find him staring at her lips with a dark expression. Qiao Yu's smile froze, and she scurried under the bed.
Unfortunately, Jiang Zhan was faster than her. He stretched out his hand and grabbed her waist before she got out of bed. Then he dragged her into the quilt and held her tightly under him.
Soon, charming and gentle moans were heard in the room.
Three days later, the reinforcement work outside the main house was finally completed. Qiao Yu stood by the window, looking at the impenetrable steel plates and electric grid outside, feeling a little dazed for a moment.
The supplies in the space were already abundant, filling up the two spaces completely. These were enough to provide the three of them with food and clothing for more than ten years, or even decades. But Qiao Yu was still very anxious.
This anxiety stemmed from a deep-seated fear of her past life, as well as a unease about the unknowns of this one. Recalling the torture Jiang Zhan endured in the laboratory in her past life, Qiao Yu clenched her hands, letting her nails dig deeply into her white, tender palms.
A pair of large hands suddenly wrapped around her waist, and Qiao Yu's body stiffened suddenly. When she felt a familiar breath wrapping her from behind, she gradually relaxed, released her palms covered with red marks, and leaned into the warm embrace behind her.
Jiang Zhan kissed her ear and whispered softly, "What are you thinking about?"
Qiao Yu didn't say anything, shook her head, turned around and hugged his neck tightly, rubbing against his neck, her movements full of attachment.
Jiang Zhan hadn't left the house since yesterday. Qiao Yu had been getting increasingly tense lately, waking up suddenly without warning even when asleep. Jiang Zhan felt deeply distressed. Since the supply run was almost complete and the situation outside was turbulent, he decided not to go anywhere and stayed by Qiao Yu's side.
