A black commercial vehicle gradually approached the new city.
This was the only intact car that the psychics at the Huicheng base had managed to rescue from the rubble. The rest of the cars were scrapped in the rain.
When the business car stopped outside the new city, it attracted the attention of many people from other bases.
Cars are very rare nowadays. After all, most of them are scrapped. It is quite enviable to have a car that is intact and usable.
Of course, cars are not rare in new cities.
The door of the business car opened, and a man in a suit and tie with a deep scar on his face got out of the car.
The scar on his face was so severely turned outward that it was still frightening to look at even in this apocalyptic world.
The man stretched out his hand, and a white, slender hand rested in his broad, thick palm. Soon, the owner of the hand got out of the car.
As soon as the woman appeared, the man hugged her and told the rest of the people in the car, "You stay here."
"Yes, Boss."
The woman was a little scared when she saw so many people around her: "Brother Rong, are we just the two of us going in?"
Jin Rong smiled upon hearing this, and the scar on his face looked even more ferocious. He pinched Cheng Qianqian's waist and asked, "What? Are you afraid that Brother Rong can't protect you?"
Cheng Qianqian blushed, buried her head in Jin Rong's arms, and said coquettishly: "Brother Rong~~"
Ever since arriving at the Fanxing Base, Mu Yuan has been busy with the siblings Yang Yu and Yang Wei, without a moment's rest.
After finally getting a day off, Mu Yuan walked out of the new city to get some fresh air, but he didn't expect to hear a familiar voice.
He subconsciously looked into the distance and saw a man and a woman hugging each other. He was slightly stunned and his pupils suddenly shrank.
Mu Yuan turned around with a stiff expression and walked quickly into the new city.
Cheng Qianqian.
Mu Yuan chewed the name in his mouth.
Before the end of the world, Cheng Qianqian was still a college student. Because she didn't like squeezing in the dormitory with others, she wanted to move out.
Cheng Xixi's mother was a close friend of Mu Yuan's mother, so Mu Yuan's mother let Cheng Xixi live with Mu Yuan, since Mu Yuan lived in a duplex apartment with several rooms.
At that time, Cheng Qianqian was always around his brother Yuan, and every day after class she would prepare a table full of delicious food for him and wait for him to come home from get off work.
That was the first time Mu Yuan felt the feeling of having someone at home cook for him and wait for him to come home for dinner.
It was also the first time that he felt that this home, which had always been his only home, finally felt like home.
The longer they spent together, the more he liked Cheng Qianqian.
For Cheng Qianqian, he asked his colleagues at the company what girls like.
He personally researched cosmetics, selecting the ones that suited her and gifting them to her. He also researched bags from various brands and bought them for her. As long as she liked something, he was willing to learn more about it.
But every time Mu Yuan wanted to confess, he would be inadvertently interrupted by Cheng Qianqian.
The first time they really started dating was after the apocalypse. He ran to the school to find her at all costs and rescued her from the zombie horde.
Later, he gained superpowers and joined the Huicheng base with Cheng Qianqian.
But after that, Cheng Qianqian changed.
In order to support their lives, Mu Yuan would go out every day to look for supplies, but when he returned to the base, he could never see Cheng Qianqian. She always came back later than him and was very perfunctory to him.
At first, Makihara thought that he was busy collecting supplies every day and had no time to accompany her, so she was angry.
Until he stumbled upon a hickey on her neck that shouldn't have been there.
At that moment, Mu Yuan was struck by lightning.
So, that day he left the base as usual to collect supplies, but turned back halfway and saw with his own eyes Cheng Qianqian dressed up beautifully and entered the residence of Jin Rong, the boss of Huicheng base.
Mu Yuan waited outside for a long time, but Cheng Qianqian didn't come out. When he rushed in with red eyes, he saw Cheng Qianqian sitting on Jin Rong's legs and kissing the hideous scar on Jin Rong's face.
His intrusion frightened Cheng Qianqian.
She seemed not to have expected him to appear. At that moment, there was fear and embarrassment in her eyes. She quickly lowered her head, not daring to look him in the eye.
At that moment, Mu Yuan suddenly came to his senses and finally understood what kind of woman he fell in love with.
Mu Yuan's hand trembled as he covered his dantian.
Because of this woman, he lost Yidan. If he hadn't met Sangyi, Amei, Ayu and others, he would have died a year ago.
Mu Yuan suddenly stopped, his eyes were dark and unclear. He slowly turned around and looked outside the new city.
"Muyuan!" Amei jumped out, patted Muyuan on the shoulder, and looked towards the city gate curiously: "What are you looking at?"
Mu Yuan looked away expressionlessly and shook his head: "Nothing."
Cheng Qianqian followed Jin Rong into the new city.
The new city was just as rumored, with zombies coming and going everywhere. However, these zombies were different from the zombies outside. They did not make that terrifying hoarse sound in their throats.
Nor will he look at people with the fierce eyes of a hungry wolf.
But Cheng Qianqian was still a little scared. Whenever a zombie walked past her, she wished she could curl up in Jin Rong's arms.
When passing by a clothing store, Cheng Qianqian saw the skirts inside and her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Welcome, beautiful lady, do you like this dress? You can try it on. Over there is the fitting room." A zombie with scarlet eyes appeared in front of Cheng Qianqian with a smile.
Cheng Qianqian was startled and subconsciously wanted to hide, but she really liked the skirt.
The only dress she had left after the rain was the one Mu Yuan gave her before the end of the world.
Cheng Qianqian looked at Jin Rong eagerly, and Jin Rong smiled: "Go ahead, try it, I think this one suits you."
Cheng Qianqian immediately ran happily to the fitting room to try on clothes, forgetting her fear of the zombies selling clothes.
This dress is a tube top style with a short front and long back hem, like a dress. It is light and soft, and very close-fitting and comfortable.
Cheng Qianqian has good skin and a good figure, and she looks even more stunning in this dress.
She came out of the fitting room and looked at herself in the mirror. She was completely captivated by the dress. She turned and ran to Jin Rong, shyly saying, "Brother Rong, does it look good?"
Jin Rong was distracted for a moment, then nodded: "It looks good!"
He looked at the clerk next to him and asked, "How much is this skirt?"
The clerk smiled and said, "This skirt is made of fabric woven from mutant silk. Even in the entire New City, this skirt is unique. Because it is quite difficult to make a skirt with mutant silk, it is not as easy as making tights, so the price is expensive."
Jin Rong frowned and said, "Just tell me how much it is."
The clerk nodded: "One million."
Not to mention Cheng Qianqian, even Jin Rong was shocked: "How much?"
"One million is equivalent to one ton of blood." The clerk very considerately quoted the price and converted it into blood for them.
Jin Rong's face turned dark instantly. He felt that the clerk was deliberately trying to rip them off because they were not from Xincheng.
Fortunately, he wasn't stupid enough to cause trouble as soon as he arrived in Xincheng, so he held back his anger and just looked at Cheng Qianqian: "Change your skirt, we don't want it anymore."
Cheng Qianqian's face turned pale. She pursed her lips tightly and looked at Jin Rong with some grievance.
Being made of silk, it meant that after leaving the new city, the skirt would be warm in winter and cool in summer, and she would no longer be harmed by weather changes. But obviously, Jin Rong would not buy it for her.
Jin Rong's brain wasn't kicked by a donkey, so it's impossible for her to spend a ton of blood to buy a skirt.
The Dawn Base spent five tons of blood to buy a constant temperature facility, and he spent one ton of blood to buy a skirt?
Seeing Jin Rong's unhappy expression, Cheng Qianqian didn't dare to say anything and went to change her skirt obediently. However, she seemed very unhappy because she couldn't buy a skirt.
Seeing that Cheng Qianqian was feeling listless, Jin Rong went to the hotel to book a room and asked Cheng Qianqian to rest in the room while he went out to do his business.
Cheng Qianqian sat in the hotel room. Although she knew that the dress was too expensive, she just liked it.
She still remembered that before the end of the world, Mu Yuan would buy her anything she looked at for a few more seconds. The gap was really too big.
Even after the apocalypse, Makihara tried his best to meet her needs.
Cheng Qianqian was lying on the bed. This time when Jin Rong came to Xincheng, he brought two tons of blood with him in order to purchase supplies. Obviously, in his heart, she was not as important as those supplies.
There was a knock on the door.
Cheng Qianqian quickly rubbed her face, put aside her depressed look, ran to the door with a smile and opened it: "Brother Rong, you..."
Her voice stopped abruptly, and she looked at Mu Yuan at the door in surprise.
Mu Yuan looked at her expressionlessly and handed the bag over to her: "Here you go."
Cheng Qianqian subconsciously reached out to take it and murmured, "You..."
Mu Yuan curled his lips and said sarcastically, "Yes, I'm not dead. I'm sorry to disappoint you."
Cheng Qianqian was stunned.
She clutched the package tightly in her hand and shook her head hurriedly, tears falling from the corners of her eyes: "No, that's not what I meant, Brother Yuan, I... I'm sorry, I... I was forced to do that. If I hadn't obeyed him before, he would have sent people to target you... I..."
Mu Yuan closed his eyes: "Stop talking!"
Cheng Qianqian stared at him in a daze.
Mu Yuan gritted his teeth, turned his head away from her, and said in a hoarse voice: "Your business has nothing to do with me!"
After saying that, he strode away.
Cheng Qianqian looked at Mu Yuan's back as he walked away.
After a long time, she slowly lowered her head and looked at the bag in her hand.
She recognized the logo on the bag; it was the logo of the store where she tried on the skirt today. Cheng Qianqian knew exactly what was inside.
She closed the door and sat on the soft hotel bed in a daze.
"He's still alive, surprisingly, in New City?"
Cheng Qianqian took out the skirt from the bag. It was indeed the one she had tried on before. Her heart suddenly began to beat violently.
The fact that he bought this dress proves that he is living well in the new city, and the fact that he sent the dress over proves that he has not given up on her, right?
When Jin Rong had Mu Yuan tortured before, she had cried and begged for mercy. If she just went to Mu Yuan and explained things to him, he would relent quickly, right? If she could stay in Xincheng...
Cheng Qianqian thought about Mu Yuan's attitude towards her and felt very confident that when the time came, she could just cry and beckon Mu Yuan back to her obediently.
Mu Yuan's appearance made Cheng Qianqian's heart restless again.
Cheng Qianqian hid her skirt.
Not long after, Jin Rong came back.
Jin Rong must have finished his work, and he was in a good mood. He said generously, "I heard that the Xincheng Night Market is fun and there are a lot of delicious food. I'll take you to the night market later, okay?"
Cheng Qianqian nodded happily: "Okay."
"By the way, I've ordered a thousand tights, also made of silk. They keep you warm in winter and cool in summer, and can withstand several fatal attacks. They cost 1L of health each. They're much more cost-effective than the dresses I had before. Once they deliver the tights, pick one out first."
Cheng Qianqian's face was filled with smiles: "Yeah! Brother Rong, you are so kind!"
Tights? Even if you had ten thousand, let alone a thousand, they wouldn't be worth a skirt.
After staying in the new city for a few days, Cheng Qianqian gradually adapted to the life here and wanted to stay here more and more. However, Jin Rong kept her by his side all the time during this period, and she never got to see Mu Yuan.
Seeing that the one thousand custom-made tights had been delivered, Cheng Qianqian became more and more anxious.
Even Jin Rong noticed her change of mood and asked, "What's wrong? Still thinking about that dress?"
Cheng Qianqian forced a smile: "No, I already have tights, why do I need a skirt?"
Jin Rong nodded: "Let's go, we've almost bought everything we needed, and we've used up all the blood we brought with us. I'll bring you here next time."
Cheng Qianqian lowered her eyelids, her eyes flickering slightly.
As soon as she walked out of the hotel, Cheng Qianqian's face was in pain: "Rong, Brother Rong, wait for me, I'm going back to the bathroom."
Jin Rong had no doubts: "Go ahead, but go slowly, don't fall."
