Chapter 35: Door Broken
When it gradually darkened and the temperature began to drop, the four of them stopped and drove towards the villa where Luo Zhenzhen had lived before.
Although they are not short of supplies, since it is delivered to their mouths, why shouldn't they eat it?
In front of Luo Zhenzhen, Jiang Zhan directly put the things into the space.
Luo Zhenzhen looked at Jiang Zhan in surprise, then turned to look at the empty storage room with a look of disbelief on her face.
Qiao Yu smiled and said, "This is our secret. Since you have given us absolute trust, we will also give our trust to you. We hope you will not let us down."
Luo Zhenzhen nodded. "Don't worry, I'll keep this a secret." In the apocalypse, anyone with such power would be jealous. She understood the principle of not showing off one's wealth.
When they returned to the Jiang family villa, Luo Zhenzhen was amazed when she saw the thick steel plates and electric fences outside the main house. She couldn't help but secretly rejoice in her desperate decision.
After entering the house, Cheng Sinian suddenly turned his head to look at Luo Zhenzhen, and said with a malicious smile: "Hey, little rabbit, can you cook?"
Luo Zhenzhen saw Cheng Sinian staring at her straight, and then she realized that "little rabbit" was calling her. So she murmured in anger, "My name is Luo Zhenzhen..."
Cheng Sinian raised his eyebrows, hmm, it looks more like a rabbit.
Luo Zhenzhen didn't intend for Cheng Sinian to respond to her. She pursed her lips and continued, "Does being able to cook instant noodles count?"
She looked a little embarrassed. In the past, there were servants in her family and she never had to cook. She only saw her roommates cook instant noodles in the dormitory.
Hearing this, Cheng Sinian took a deep breath and walked towards the kitchen resignedly. "Okay, here comes another young lady."
When Cheng Sinian prepared the meal and brought it to the table, Luo Zhenzhen's eyes almost popped out.
She hadn't seen a fresh meal in almost a month.
While eating, Qiao Yu quietly observed Luo Zhenzhen. She ate a little hurriedly, but not rudely, clearly well-educated. Qiao Yu couldn't help but feel a little more favorable towards her.
After dinner, Qiao Yu let Luo Zhenzhen choose a room to stay in. She also gave her a few bottles of fruit water, an electric blanket, an electric heater, and a heater. She smiled and said, "It's cold at night. Use the electric heater to warm you up. Take a shower later and go to bed early. There's no separate bathroom in your room, but there's one at the end of the corridor. There's clean water in the water tank. This heater can heat cold water. Put this end into the water tank and it will automatically pump water. Plug it in and you can adjust the temperature. Also, remember to drink some water before going to bed. If you feel any changes in your body tomorrow, don't worry, just take a shower."
Luo Zhenzhen took the thing and felt touched.
After her sister passed away, she never thought she would receive such care again. She never thought she would be able to eat hot meals and take hot baths again.
She nodded, her voice choked, "Qiao...Sister, thank you."
Qiao Yu was stunned. He had asked her age in the afternoon. She was also 19, the same age as Qiao Yu, but her birthday was younger than Qiao Yu's. There was nothing wrong with calling her "sister". Qiao Yu blinked and smiled. "Have a sweet dream. Good night."
Luo Zhenzhen watched Qiao Yu return to her room, then hugged the things in her arms tightly. After a long while, she whispered, "Good night."
--
Three days passed quickly. Jiang Zhan's two superpowers were already showing signs of breaking through the first level and entering the second level. This made Qiao Yu happy and envious. You know, in her previous life, it took her nearly half a year to upgrade her superpowers to the second level!
However, as time went by, the security fence at the entrance finally could not withstand the day and night pressure of the alien species and began to loosen slowly.
The four of them collected crystal cores for another day. On the way back, Qiao Yu couldn't help but think of the fence that had begun to creak. He pursed his lips and said calmly, "The fence at the entrance won't last long. In three days at most, it will be completely destroyed. We may need to make some preparations." Although they will not be the primary target after the influx of alien species, they will be in danger when there are no living people in the villa areas at the foot of the mountain and on the mountainside.
Cheng Sinian glanced at her through the rearview mirror and asked, "Are we going to leave here?"
Qiao Yu pondered for a moment and shook his head, "Let's wait a little longer." According to the timeline of his previous life, the major survivor bases had only just been established and were in a state of disarray. Since the plants hadn't mutated yet, he could still stay in Yunming Mountain for a few more days.
Qiao Yu's suspicions were quickly confirmed. After two days of holding out, the security fence at the villa's entrance finally collapsed late one night after failing to withstand the alien species' constant trampling.
When the first person being hunted by the aliens stepped into Jiang Zhan's mental detection range, Jiang Zhan opened his eyes alertly in the darkness. Qiao Yu was still asleep, and Jiang Zhan didn't say a word, silently extending his mental power to explore the situation.
As his abilities improved, Jiang Zhan's spiritual detection range expanded significantly. With himself as the center, the radius of his perception range was now approximately 400 meters.
The man being hunted was already injured, and naturally failed to escape successfully. He soon became food for the alien species behind him.
Perhaps because the smell of blood was stronger at the foot of the mountain, these alien species did not continue to move towards Jiang's house, but turned around and ran down the mountain.
After confirming that the alien species had left the range of his mental power, Jiang Zhan no longer paid any attention to them, withdrew his mental power, hugged Qiao Yu tighter, and closed his eyes silently.
The next morning while having breakfast, Jiang Zhan informed the three of the alien species that had broken through the protective fence.
Qiao Yu and Cheng Sinian were both very calm and nodded to show that they understood. Only Luo Zhenzhen looked at Jiang Zhan with some surprise.
She didn't understand why Jiang Zhan knew what happened last night so quickly, as she clearly didn't hear anyone leave the house. She was stunned for only a moment, then she lowered her head and ate in silence.
Since they didn't explain, she wouldn't ask. She just knew they were powerful and trustworthy, and that was enough.
Qiao Yu calmly observed the changing expressions on Luo Zhenzhen's face, and couldn't help but internally praise her. Then he looked away, took a sip of milk, and said calmly, "Since the gate is broken, we shouldn't go too far when we go out. We should wait on the mountainside; they'll definitely come up. While there might not be many of them, this is the safest way."
Cheng Sinian nodded and added, "After I come back in the evenings these few days, I'll make some more food for the journey. Although you said there's no rush, I don't think you'll be staying for long. Brother Zhan, there's no need to intervene. I can do it myself. I can make a little bit every night, and I should have a lot left by the time I leave."
Qiao Yu nodded with a smile, "Cheung, you are very conscious."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Sinian immediately looked at Jiang Zhan, but before he could open his mouth to criticize him, he saw the other party pinching Qiao Yu's chin and turning her away, whispering, "Don't smile so beautifully at him."
…and clearly felt no remorse for him at all.
Cheng Sinian silently stuffed the remaining half fried egg on the plate into his mouth and sighed resignedly.
Luo Zhenzhen heard them discussing dinner and saw Cheng Sinian's helpless look. She felt sorry for him and quietly moved closer. She whispered to Cheng Sinian, "Dr. Cheng... Dr. Cheng, I can help too... Although I can't cook, I can wash the vegetables."
Cheng Sinian turned his head. Every time he saw Luo Zhenzhen's serious expression, he couldn't help but want to tease her. So he raised his eyebrows and said jokingly, "Wow, this is really something new. It turns out that rabbits can wash vegetables too."
“…”You are the rabbit! Your whole family are rabbits!
Luo Zhenzhen was so angry that her face turned red, but unfortunately she was a coward and obviously did not dare to argue with the only "chef" in the team. She could only bite the egg fiercely, and dared not say anything in her heart: No matter how pitiful you are, I am just a puppy!
