Chapter 13 013 Ye Rourou
Meng Qinghe's fleshy paws unconsciously curled up, and the translucent tips of her nails inadvertently hooked onto Chi Yingdong's clothes.
Chi Yingdong paused for a moment with the oar in his hand.
A faint, tingling sensation in her chest made her heart tighten.
"What's wrong?"
Chi Yingdong lowered his eyes to look at the kitten in his arms and asked softly.
Meng Qinghe looked up in confusion upon hearing the sound.
The seriousness in her emerald eyes hadn't faded yet; she was now full of fighting spirit for her training.
Chi Yingdong vaguely sensed that there seemed to be some subtle change in the kitten, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
As I pondered, strange ripples suddenly appeared on the water's surface, as if some creature was swimming beneath it.
Something unusual must be going on.
Chi Yingdong pursed his lips, his gaze fixed on the water's surface, where he saw a dark shadow swimming rapidly underwater.
Following Chi Yingdong's gaze, Meng Qinghe immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.
He jumped out of Chi Yingdong's arms, lay on the edge of the boat, and peered into the water.
With her feline eyesight far exceeding that of humans, she quickly spotted the dark shape in the water.
Unfortunately, the water was too murky, so she could only roughly judge from the outline of the shadow that it was a fish about the length of an adult's arm.
Meng Qinghe turned to look at Chi Yingdong and nodded seriously.
There is definitely something in the water!
Chi Yingdong was on edge, his supernatural abilities gathering momentum within him, ready to deal with any potential dangers.
However, the mysterious creature underwater seemed to be just teasing them.
It remained submerged beneath the inflatable boat, but never attacked them.
With the kitten by his side, Chi Yingdong didn't want things to escalate in an unknown direction.
Since the creatures in the water didn't attack first, she wouldn't deliberately provoke them.
Gradually, the underwater creatures, perhaps finding it boring, swam away to a distance.
Chi Yingdong was worried that this was a trap, so he kept his grip on the oar and looked around warily.
In her previous life, during the initial stages of the apocalypse, she never left the house.
Therefore, she knew very little about the outside world, which made her especially vigilant when facing unknown dangers.
Even after confirming that the unknown creature had left, Chi Yingdong couldn't guarantee that it wouldn't return and suddenly attack them.
"This place is not safe to stay in for long," Chi Yingdong quickly decided, and rowed the boat forward.
One kilometer is not a long distance, so Chi Yingdong increased the speed of rowing.
Soon, the gilded characters "Da Rong Shu Chan Yi Yuan" came into view.
At this moment, the huge creative park is completely lifeless.
The towering glass curtain wall, repeatedly washed by rain, gleamed with a cold, eerie light, its mirrored surface reflecting the gloomy, murky sky, like a dilapidated little town.
As the inflatable boat glided past beneath the deformed billboard, Meng Qinghe's gaze fell upon the bright red lettering on the billboard.
Innovation and entrepreneurship: dreams take flight.
Meng Qinghe felt a flutter in his heart.
Looking at these eight characters, she seemed to see a group of young people who were unaware of their own limitations, full of passion and courage to fight.
However, the slogans had long been washed and soaked by rain, becoming blurred, just like the road ahead, murky and unable to see the direction.
Chi Yingdong rowed his boat into the area beneath the office building, where more documents were floating on the water.
Meng Qinghe stared at a file folder floating in the water.
It was a file folder with a Hello Kitty pattern printed on it. Inside the folder was a work badge, and the girl in the picture had a bright and cheerful smile.
The water rippled, and more and more sewage splashed onto the document bag, and the documents slowly sank to the bottom.
In just one night, this once bustling and vibrant startup park was reduced to ruins, burying the dreams of countless people.
Just as Meng Qinghe was sighing over the scene before her, Chi Yingdong suddenly picked her up.
With a flash of cold light, an axe appeared out of thin air in Chi Yingdong's palm.
"Bang--"
The glass in front of me shattered, and shards of glass flew like meteors.
The loud noise made Meng Qinghe's ears uncomfortable, and she scratched at them with her little paws, looking both cute and funny.
Unaffected by the loud noise, Chi Yingdong lifted the kitten's bottom and said, "Hold on tight."
She held the kitten protectively in her arms and nimbly climbed through the window.
The rubber soles of the boots crunched over the shards of glass on the ground, making a crisp sound that was particularly loud in the quiet space.
They broke into a wedding dress shop through a broken window.
Meng Qinghe was overwhelmed by the sight of every wedding dress in the store.
Almost no woman doesn't yearn for a wedding dress; even women who don't want to get married will want to wear one at least once.
These wedding dresses, even in a dimly lit space, remained dazzling.
After looking around, Meng Qinghe's gaze finally settled on the display case in the center of the store.
The display case shows a mermaid-style wedding dress with a deep V-neck back, both sexy and elegant.
Especially the arc-shaped fishtail is adorned with many small diamonds and pearls, which shimmer with tiny sparkles in the dim space, like twinkling stars.
Meng Qinghe couldn't help but imagine what Chi Yingdong would look like in this dress.
That must be incredibly beautiful!
She's taking this wedding dress with her!
Meng Qinghe gently patted Chi Yingdong's arm, gesturing for her to look at the wedding dress in the closet.
Chi Yingdong understood immediately.
After spending this time together, they have developed a tacit understanding.
Chi Yingdong put the wedding dresses in the display case into his space. The next second, his gaze swept over the other wedding dresses in the store, and with a change of heart, he took them all.
The entrance to the bridal shop leads directly to the office building, and Chi Yingdong is already quite adept at breaking windows.
The person and the cat quickly arrived at the lobby and looked at the signs.
Chi Yingdong quickly located the pet shop on the second floor based on the signs.
I was secretly glad that we arrived in time; if we had arrived a day later, the second floor would probably have been flooded as well.
The pet shop is at the end of the corridor.
They walked through the corridor, and in the offices on both sides, zombies, smelling the presence of living people, clung to the doors, baring their teeth and howling menacingly.
The glass door was spotless, and the zombies, with their twisted and ferocious appearances, could be clearly seen.
Chi Yingdong walked past without changing her expression, finally stopping at the entrance of the pet store, where her cold face was reflected in the tempered glass door.
There was a zombie in the pet store, wearing a brown apron with the store's logo printed on it.
Chi Yingdong lightly tapped the glass door with his fingertips, producing a crisp sound.
The zombie, which had been wandering aimlessly, suddenly turned around and ran towards the door.
Chi Yingdong looked at the zombie in surprise. This zombie was much faster than any of the zombies she had seen in the past two days.
My gaze swept around the store, finally settling on the animal carcasses on the floor.
In just a day and a half, this zombie had killed all the animals in the house.
At the same time, the zombies had already reached the door, and the stench of decay mixed with the smell of blood wafted out through the gaps in the glass door.
Chi Yingdong activated her supernatural power, which condensed into an ice blade in her hand.
The moment she opened the door, a flash of cold light appeared.
Black blood spurted from the zombie's neck, its head rolled to the ground, its empty eye sockets staring blankly at the ceiling.
A zombie corpse blocked the doorway. Chi Yingdong frowned slightly and stepped over the still convulsing body.
Once inside the store, Meng Qinghe, no longer wanting to be held by Chi Yingdong, lightly leaped and landed steadily.
Then I wandered around the room. The pet store was huge, and the shelves were full of all kinds of canned food, cat treats, and toys.
Chi Yingdong finished cleaning up the pet store and was about to leave with the kitten.
At the same time, a sudden noise came from the pet grooming room, like the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
Chi Yingdong paused in his steps.
The grooming room was at the very back of the pet store. She walked around the rows of shelves and slowly approached it.
Chi Yingdong placed his hand on the doorknob and pressed it gently, locking the door from the inside.
"Come out!" Chi Yingdong's voice was like ice.
Silence fell instantly inside the door; the previous sounds seemed to have never occurred, and only a deathly silence permeated the air.
After a while, Meng Qinghe's ears twitched.
It was the sound of things being moved rubbing together, mixed with disordered breathing.
The people inside wanted to block the door.
The other party is afraid of them.
This discovery made Chi Yingdong withdraw his hand and walk towards the door.
Meng Qinghe noticed that the store's staff list was posted on the glass wall by the entrance.
There are two photos in total. The one on the left is of the zombie that Chi Yingdong killed, while the girl in the photo on the right has a pretty face and is most likely the girl hiding in the beauty salon.
Meng Qinghe quickly scanned the names below the image.
Ye Rourou!
The female protagonist of the novel!
Ye Rourou is an ordinary Omega without any special abilities. In the book, she was able to survive until the middle of the apocalypse entirely because she had a large amount of supplies.
However, Meng Qinghe only briefly mentioned these plot points that had no connection to Qiao Ying when he wrote them.
Therefore, it was not specified what this material was.
Considering the room full of pet supplies they've stored in their space, it's possible that the supplies she possesses could also be pet food.
Meng Qinghe licked his paws, pondering the matter seriously.
Because she wanted to eat instant noodles, Chi Yingdong took all of the female lead's supplies?
Why does it feel so good?!
Furthermore, Meng Qinghe was not worried at all that Ye Rourou would die without these supplies.
If the female lead died so easily, she wouldn't be the female lead.
At the same time, Meng Qinghe thought of someone else.
Su Tinglan.
Ye Rourou's senior.
As the female lead, how could Ye Rourou not have admirers around her?
Su Tinglan was one of them.
When Meng Qinghe first created this character, he wanted to give Ye Rourou a deceased "white moonlight" to use to spite Qiao Ying at certain times, in order to enhance their relationship.
Based on the current information, Meng Qinghe completed the plot.
On the day the apocalypse broke out, Su Tinglan happened to be working overtime and was trapped in the company.
So he was able to save Ye Rourou when the second floor of the creative park was flooded.
Using supplies from the pet shop, the two formed a small team and survived the early stages of the apocalypse.
However, in order to portray Ye Rourou as weak and helpless, the entire team perished in the end.
After meeting Ye Rourou, Qiao Ying always felt sorry for her, thinking that she was brave enough to survive in the apocalypse. Little did she know that Ye Rourou hadn't suffered much in the apocalypse at all.
Looking at the plot from a different perspective, Meng Qinghe felt that her previous writing was completely illogical.
The world revolves around falling in love.
Thinking of this, Meng Qinghe couldn't help but look up at the ceiling.
I can't help but wonder what Su Tinglan's reaction will be when he comes to find Ye Rourou tomorrow and sees an empty shop. Will he still protect Ye Rourou through the early stages of the apocalypse?
