"I'm letting you know in advance," Si Beiling said, preparing for the worst, "so that we can be on guard."
Shi Xi understood what he meant.
Wei Yousi clearly harbors a grudge against him this time, and Si Beiling is worried that Xue Yu Chamber of Commerce will stand up for Wei Yousi and come to cause trouble for him.
Therefore, I should be careful around Xue and Shang.
As if afraid of frightening Shi Xi, Si Beiling looked at her and said, "But there's no need to worry too much."
Shi Xi, of course, trusted Si Beiling, this incredibly powerful and influential figure.
He thought to himself.
If I don't believe you, who do I believe? You're the main character, and even if Xue Wushang really comes looking for trouble, he's not afraid.
Just beat them up.
Just then, Shi Xi heard Song Guizhou's voice.
"Xiao An, look what I found!"
Song Guizhou's tone was full of surprise, as if he had discovered something rare.
Shi Xi looked up and saw Song Guizhou standing by the second-floor window, holding a packet of hot pot base in his hand... He had a bright smile on his face, seemingly not expecting Si Beiling to be there. He paused for two seconds, then composed himself.
Song Guizhou possesses a natural, healing, and gentle aura; just looking at him, one feels a warm and gentle presence.
But if Shi Xi were upstairs at this moment, she would see that the crystal core in Song Guizhou's other hand had been crushed into powder.
He exchanged a glance with Si Beiling, nodded as a greeting, and then disappeared by the window.
Si Beiling looked at the hot pot base in Song Guizhou's hand, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
After so long since the apocalypse, supplies have been almost completely looted, and Song Guizhou is so lucky.
Surprisingly, we found a packet of hot pot base.
He watched as the other person pushed open the door and walked out of the hot pot restaurant.
Shi Xi had no idea what Si Beiling was thinking. He only noticed that the other man's gaze hadn't left Song Guizhou since the moment he saw him.
So far, the plot has been developing quite well.
Although the plot has only progressed to five percent.
"Is something the matter?" Song Guizhou looked at Si Beiling with a puzzled expression.
Si Beiling glanced at the time. "Assemble. It's time to go back."
"These crystal cores..." Si Beiling's gaze fell on Song Guizhou's bulging bag, "Did you dig them all up?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Xi also looked over.
Then I was surprised.
How come there are so many? It looks like almost twice as many as his!
"Yes." Song Guizhou smiled. "There are more zombies here."
Si Beiling frowned.
He passed through this area yesterday, but he remembered that there weren't many zombies here.
After answering Si Beiling's question, Song Guizhou smiled and looked at Shi Xi, "We still have some ingredients at home, so we'll have hot pot tonight."
Upon hearing the word "we," Shi Xi looked at Si Beiling beside her and asked, "Brother Si, want to come along?"
Song Guizhou's smile faded slightly.
"Want to come together?" he asked Si Beiling tentatively.
As Shi Xi heard the notification that the plot had reached 10%, her smile became even more genuine.
"Anyway, we're right next door." Shi Xi smiled brightly. "It's super convenient."
Si Beiling glanced at Shi Xi and nodded reservedly.
It turns out that the neighboring area is Sibei Ridge.
Song Guizhou lowered his eyes, composed himself, and whispered to Shi Xi, "Xiao An, we don't have enough food at home; I'm afraid we won't be able to properly entertain him."
"It's alright, just use whatever's available." Because they were close, Shi Xi could feel his slightly cool body temperature, which was quite comfortable to be so close during the hot daytime.
Seemingly having overheard their conversation, Si Beiling, who was walking ahead, suddenly turned around and said, "I'm fine with anything, I'm not picky."
...
On his way back, Shi Xi could clearly feel that the people around him were much warmer towards him. It wasn't to the point of being obsequious, but they would take the initiative to greet him, at least they no longer treated him like he was invisible.
Tang Jue didn't come over; he just silently got into a car, as if he didn't like interacting with people.
He sat in the passenger seat and looked out the window to see Shi Xi and Song Guizhou get into the car in front of him.
"How did I get on that car..." Tang Jue muttered to himself.
The driver, thinking he was being spoken to, hesitated for a moment before asking, "Brother Tang, what did you just say?"
"It's nothing," he asked. "Is that the car in front of us from Si Beiling?"
"Yes." The driver nodded. "It's Brother Si's car."
In the apocalypse, strength reigns supreme, and all the strong are respectfully addressed as "Brother".
Realizing that Si Beiling and Tang Jue were competitors, the driver inwardly cried out in alarm and abruptly shut his mouth.
She glanced at Tang Jue cautiously.
But seeing that the other person was resting with their eyes closed, seemingly not caring, I felt relieved.
