Chapter 208 Zhu Yan's identity is suspicious and needs to be kept at a distance
The time came to eight o'clock in the evening.
Rongzhen and the others had just finished processing and putting away all the ingredients they could when bursts of exclamations were heard from inside the building.
"The rain is starting to get lighter, and the tsunami is also getting smaller!"
"The disaster will soon be over."
"We are saved—"
Everyone cheered in surprise, celebrating their escape, but they didn't know that the god of death had just arrived and was not far away.
There is never a shortage of smart people. Those who feel something is wrong do not have time to be happy. They immediately seize the opportunity to find survival supplies and hurry to save enough capital to survive.
As a result, two completely different reactions were formed. One group of people were cheering, singing and dancing, while the other group was searching for supplies up and down frantically.
They had both knocked on the doors of Rongzhen and the other person's house. One of them came to invite them to a party on the rooftop and wait for possible rescue, and the other one came to ask if they had any food or water and wanted to spend money to buy it.
Zhu Yan looked at the money they were waving in their hands without giving them any extra glances. He just said "no" and slammed the door shut.
But those people smelled the aroma of food coming from the house and secretly memorized the location.
After they left, Zhu Yan asked Rong Zhen to go and rest for a while, as the building would probably be in chaos for the first time soon.
Rongzhen knew the limits of her current body. She had been busy and alert for most of the day. If she didn't take a break and recover, she might not be able to cope with the upcoming crisis.
"Okay, I'll rest for two hours, then I'll take your turn."
Midnight was the most dangerous time, and it would be best if both of them were awake.
Zhu Yan took out the Light of Truth and placed it beside him. "Don't worry, with this here, ordinary people won't dare to break in."
I’m afraid that it will get too big and some people will become so angry that they won’t care about anything.
Rong Zhen had personally verified his skills, and with the added assurance of truth, he nodded with greater confidence and went into the second bedroom. He lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, and fell asleep in seconds.
…
"Zhu Yan, why aren't you talking? Are you angry because I'm playing with them?"
A pretty and innocent girl gently asked the older boy who had his back to her and looked annoyed. It looked like a young couple had a quarrel and the girl was trying to coax him.
The two of them were in a tightly sealed room with a charcoal fire burning in the fireplace. Outside the thick glass windows was a foggy world of ice and snow, with no sign of human life in sight.
This scene did not last long, and the scene changed to a similar room, but this time there was no fireplace. Instead, there were several pots of icebergs placed there. Outside, the sun was scorching, and the sea ice and snow disappeared. Looking around, all he saw was withered and black.
There were still two people in the room, but the girl had changed. She was replaced by a tall and beautiful girl, who was also saying something to the big boy with his back to her.
"Zhu Yan, it's so hot and stuffy here, it's not a place for people to stay. Why don't you come upstairs with us? Can't we all work together to survive?"
The older boy called Zhu Yan said nothing and angrily drove the girl out.
…
Rongzhen watched all this from a third-person perspective, and the moment she looked into the boy's clear eyes, she woke up.
I woke up at just the right time, exactly ten o'clock in the evening.
In reality, Zhu Yan knocked on the door on time, chewing on crispy oily fruit and slurring his words as he asked her to go out and take over.
The situation outside was not good, so they agreed that while one person would be resting, the other would be on duty so as to keep an eye on any movement outside the door and be prepared to evacuate in time.
Rongzhen responded and stood up and walked out, and saw Zhu Yan's face that appeared in the plot scene.
At this moment, his face showed no signs of boredom or irritation, as he had just been eating something delicious, and his expression was quite cheerful. Facing Rong Zhen's stunned gaze, he asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, go to sleep." Rong Zhen shook his head to calm down, sat on the sofa where Zhu Yan was before, and began to close his eyes to rest.
Zhu Yan reminded her to remember to call him if anything happened, and then he closed the door of the master bedroom and rested.
In the quiet living room, Rongzhen could clearly hear her own breathing. The noise outside became smaller and smaller as the tsunami and heavy rain gradually subsided.
Being in such an atmosphere is the best way to organize your thoughts.
Rongzhen went through the information package about this mission again and finally found some things that she had missed from the corners.
The fragment that appeared in her mind just now when she was sleeping was actually a small plot that was easily overlooked in the plot, but it was crucial to her now.
Because they proved to her that Zhu Yan was most likely one of the male harem members of the two heroines.
Even if he is not a member of the boy band, he must be very important to the female protagonists. Otherwise, with their pride, they would not coax him like they do in the picture, and would not be angry when he impatiently drives them away.
So Rongzhen is a little confused now, not sure what Zhu Yan’s current identity is.
Although he was not the male protagonist in the first two weeks, this is the third week and the plot has become chaotic. Who knows who will become the male protagonist?
To be on the safe side, she'd better keep her distance from the other person.
If possible, she hoped to part ways with him after getting some supplies.
The golden finger of the courtyard only requires the two of them to open it together to enter. It doesn't mean that supplies cannot be stored or accessed if one person is missing. After she leaves, Zhu Yan can still use the courtyard as a space, but people cannot enter.
Also, judging from the information revealed in fragmentary plot scenes, the tsunami and rainstorms will be followed by extreme temperature disasters, first extremely low temperatures and then extremely high temperatures.
This is consistent with the original owner's memory, but it is unclear whether it is still the same afterwards.
Maybe Zhu Yan will know?
Judging from the cold-resistant supplies he prepared, he must have a way to obtain information in this regard.
Rongzhen decided to find an opportunity to test him before running away.
In the quiet atmosphere, the slight noise coming from outside the door was like thunder, immediately interrupting her thoughts.
Rongzhen immediately became alert, picked up a kitchen knife and quietly approached the door.
There is someone outside trying to pry the door open!
Don't they know there are three doors? Unless they use a cutting machine to force their way through, it might take forever to pry it open.
Rongzhen shook her head and sat back on the sofa, completely ignoring how the people outside were scratching their heads and making a fuss.
"Why can't I open it? I'm a professional!" The lock picker was lying on the keyhole of the door, puzzled, and didn't notice that in the dim light, someone quietly raised a baseball bat behind him.
Bang——
The lock picker was knocked unconscious by a stick, and when he fell down, the curvy figure behind him was revealed.
At the same time, a tall and slender figure came tremblingly towards them from the dark, holding the Tang sword in his hand very steadily, with black and red liquid flowing on it.
"You're so slow!" Han Yilian said in dissatisfaction with a low voice.
Yu Ruwei said nervously with a trembling voice: "This is killing, killing people. I haven't even killed a chicken before. Please give me some time."
"That's right, you always kill without spilling blood."
"Hey, you're being prejudiced against me. Where's the gentle, kind, and adorable little girl you promised me?"
"You killed the little cutie a long time ago."
"What the hell, we haven't seen this before!"
While the two men were arguing in low voices, they worked together to move the lock picker's body away and pulled the two carts of things to the front of the door.
Just as I finished, I raised my hand to knock on the door, but the door opened gently first.
Inside the door was Zhu Yan, who was woken up from his sleep by Rong Zhen.
After Rongzhen discovered that the two heroines had come and dealt with the lock picker, he immediately woke up Zhu Yan to trade with them.
She didn't want those things, so she gave them all to Zhu Yan to put in the courtyard, and when she was about to leave, she would take an equivalent portion from the supplies he had prepared.
In this way, the golden finger would not be considered as a gift from her, and the supplies obtained in exchange could also be in her hands.
According to her original intention, she might as well not give it.
But with the heroines' insistence, if they don't give it to them, they will probably haunt them all the time. It's okay when Zhu Yan is with her, but it will be very dangerous when she is alone. As the old saying goes, you don't have to worry about thieves stealing, but you have to worry about thieves thinking about it.
Rongzhen didn't want to be noticed by the heroines, so she simply sent the trouble away through Zhu Yan.
Zhu Yan yawned and casually checked the supplies on the two carts.
It was agreed that the supplies would be a hundred times the amount in the backpack. In order to get the golden finger, the two heroines actually got a hundred times the amount of candy, chocolate, compressed biscuits and other things, and piled them high on the cart.
"You are very capable." Zhu Yan was very satisfied after the inspection. It was rare for him to praise them and he didn't care where they got them from.
Yu Ruwei opened her mouth to say something, but Han Yilian secretly pinched her arm hard, and she immediately shut up.
Zhu Yan didn't care about their eyebrow quarrel. After putting the things in, he took out the two small ornaments and said, "Look carefully, is this the one you liked before?"
Rongzhen's heart skipped a beat when she heard this in the living room.
She had thought about finding two similar ones to replace them, but that would bring more trouble, so she decided not to do it.
Fortunately, I didn't do anything.
Han Yilian and Yu Ruwei both felt it and confirmed that it was the one they wanted.
Zhu Yan put the things on the empty cart.
Yu Ruwei reached out quickly, wanting to break the agreement she had made with Han Yilian and take both of them for herself.
Han Yilian was prepared and acted even faster than her, snatching away the lucky beads that Yu Ruwei had wanted so much.
Yu Ruwei then snatched the jade ring. Although she felt very sad and regretful for not being able to get the lucky beads, the jade ring was not bad as it had been testified by the heroine of the novel.
Those who like to read doomsday novels know that the space carrier is most likely to be jade.
So they both got what they wanted.
After the transaction was completed, a chaotic sound of footsteps mixed with scattered conversations was heard from the corridor where the two people came from.
"Hurry...they're coming..."
"We must catch those who dare to touch our things..."
After hearing this, Yu Ruwei and Han Yilian looked at each other, turned around and fled in the other direction, each running faster than the other, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
They left two carts carelessly at the door of the room, making them obvious targets.
"Damn it!" Zhu Yan cursed inwardly after reacting. He took advantage of the cover of darkness to quickly put the cart into the yard and then quickly closed the door.
Want to plot against him? Haha, it seems like no one has space.
The group of people chasing outside the door did not notice anything unusual, and did not even stop. They chased directly in the direction where the two heroines fled, making quite a lot of noise.
Such a situation was like opening Pandora's box at midnight.
The chaos officially began.
