Shen Jing didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble.
She wanted to be a couch potato, not a savior.
Hidden within the houses shrouded in night, countless eyes are secretly observing.
They could appear at any moment and deliver the cruelest blow to hesitant passersby!
Sure enough, as they passed a residential building, someone heard the sound of the yacht and wanted to jump off and hitch a ride.
But Gu Yan wouldn't let him succeed.
He skillfully maneuvered the yacht to avoid the bodies underwater and the burly man who tried to jump off and steal it.
Looting and killing are basic practices for some people in the apocalypse.
They've encountered this kind of thing countless times.
Shen Jing had already marked the route to the western base on the downloaded map.
Even at night, the yacht did not stop, but continued westward.
Two days later.
As you enter G city, the floodwaters gradually disappear, replaced by a thin layer of snow.
The western region is particularly cold during the snow season, deterring people from venturing there and making it more deserted than imagined.
During the flood season, the west is the best option to avoid disaster.
However, the seamless combination of floodwaters and snow also deprived countless people of their chance to escape quickly!
Although the temperature is still rising, it is still quite cold in the west, and the snow on the ground has not yet melted.
But they can finally replace their yacht with a motorhome.
While driving, Shen Jing continued to use her supernatural abilities to probe ahead.
Gu Yan did not stop him as he had done before; he simply sat in the passenger seat, lost in thought.
He's been like this ever since he left City C, cold and indifferent, not paying much attention to Shen Jing.
However, when it's her mealtime, she will consciously start cooking.
Shen Jing felt that he might be retaliating, as the vegetables he specifically requested were ones she didn't usually like to eat.
He had a very good grasp of Shen Jing's various picky eating habits.
This reminded Shen Jing of when she first lived in 2001.
One time he brought vegetables, which she picked out and refused to eat.
It turned out that Shen Jing was indeed careless at that time; this person must have done it on purpose from the very beginning!
Sometimes I even suspect he was born in the Year of the Cat...
When they're being crazy, they'll pounce on you; when they're angry, they'll turn their backs to you with a haughty air. If you try to soothe them, they'll just get rejected.
Feeling rejected, Shen Jing finally couldn't sit still any longer.
She pressed her hand on the vegetables and said impatiently, "Did I step on your tail again?"
Gu Yan merely glanced at her indifferently before continuing with what he was doing.
"Fine, don't tell me then." Shen Jing took out an apple from her spatial storage. "We'll be at the base in about two days. If I can advance to level 7 before then, that would be great..."
Shen Jing leaned back on the sofa, watching Gu Yan slowly and methodically wash the vegetables.
Every time Shen Jing saw the handsome and virtuous boss, she couldn't help but take a picture with her phone.
To say that Gu Yan used passive-aggressive tactics on her? But he really disdains using such roundabout methods.
Moreover, if Gu Yan really wanted to teach Shen Jing a lesson, he had plenty of ways to do so...
For the next two days, the two continued to interact in a lukewarm manner.
Besides training with Vassi, Shen Jing absorbed crystal cores and gradually forgot about Gu Yan.
During this time, Gu Yan went out once more, and before leaving, he handed over the metal crystal core he had obtained in the hotel to Shen Jing.
Shen Jing examined the golden crystal core, then remembered that Gu Yan was still sulking. "My aunt's husband has only been here for seven days, and he hasn't spoken to anyone for four of them..."
"Woof!" I'm not going to talk to you!
"Wasi, do you think the big boss is secretly up to something?"
"Woof woof!" I knew he was a bad guy!
Shen Jing sat cross-legged and put the crystal core into her spatial storage.
Regarding her advancement in superpowers, she sensed that she was missing a crucial catalyst, not just a few crystal cores. She decided to save the crystal cores for now; in her current state, consuming their energy was simply too hasty and would only hinder her progress.
Gu Yan returned at dinner time and started cooking as usual.
This left Shen Jing completely baffled.
After finishing dinner, Shen Jing belatedly realized that Gu Yan hadn't cooked any vegetables she didn't like that night!
The crisis is over? Not at all...
Gu Yan sat opposite her and handed her a silver-white crystal core. "It's lightning-type."
Shen Jing took it blankly. Could it be that he went out today to find the crystal core?
Gu Yan asked again, "What else do you want?"
"..." She wanted to advance her cultivation level, wanted the apocalypse to end, and wanted to transmigrate into a book and escape.
But even if I said all that, it would be pointless.
Moreover, Gu Yan had said before that only by capturing the energy entity attached to Shen Ting could they have a chance to leave.
But even if Shen Ting is dead, there's no trace of her energy body...
Gu Yan looked at her tilting her head in deep thought and suddenly smiled.
He naturally reached out and touched her hair. "It's okay if you don't know. You can tell me later."
Shen Jing was a little confused. What was going on here?
She said she wanted to transmigrate into the book and run away.
Did Gu Yan really manage to do it?
Looking at her expression, a hint of melancholy flashed in Gu Yan's eyes. He seemed to have guessed what Shen Jing was thinking.
He suddenly reached over the handrail and pulled Shen Jing into his arms. "I will keep all my promises to you."
Shen Jing was startled by his sudden hug and froze.
She tried to break free, but Gu Yan pressed his palms down harder on her back, holding her tightly.
Gu Yan buried his face in her neck. Shen Jing was still thinking about leaving... She kept saying that she would kill him once she reached SSS level, but she still came to the basement without hesitation when they were at the hotel.
