Chapter 8 Living Together
"They died when I was in college. I just had to take care of myself." Li Chengyi told the sad story in a flat tone.
"...I'm sorry." Bai Zhi wanted to slap her mouth, she was talking about something irrelevant. She
immediately changed the topic by introducing herself, "I'm a senior high school student, I'm 18 years old this year. My supernatural power is that I can turn into paper. Although my fighting ability is not high, I will work hard to train and improve it.
" There is about three weeks of food and water for one person at home. My cooking and driving skills are not bad. I have also read a lot of apocalypse literature, maybe it will be useful in the future. "
Li Chengyi: "For safety and training convenience, I suggest you move in. What do you think? "
Li Chengyi really felt that it was too dangerous for a little girl like her to be in the end times.
Since they were teammates now, he had to be responsible for her safety.
Bai Zhi: "Okay. I'll pack up everything that can be used later." "
Bai Zhi thought this arrangement was very reasonable.
Li Chengyi looked like a gentle and refined business elite. He almost refused to team up with her just now. He should not be interested in a high school student like her.
Moreover, he was not a person without moral bottom line. He should not do anything to force women.
So she was not disgusted by the idea of living together, nor was she worried.
Li Chengyi accompanied Bai Zhi to the next door. He not only packed up all the remaining food, water, milk, kitchen knives, medical kits and other tools, and clothes and shoes for convenient activities, but also moved Bai Zhi's mattress, pillows, and quilts to the study room of Li Chengyi's house.
For dinner that day, Bai Zhi used the camping gas stove in Li Chengyi's house and the water he made with his supernatural power, and made a table of three dishes and one soup based on the leftover ingredients in the two homes.
After Li Chengyi picked up his chopsticks, he realized that Bai Zhi was I was too humble.
Her cooking skills were more than good, she could open a restaurant and be a chef.
I suddenly realized it when I heard her say that she had taken cooking classes for more than a year, and specially learned the characteristics of Chinese food and common Western food from various cuisines.
The first meal they had together was very satisfactory to each other.
Li Chengyi was satisfied with Baizhi's cooking skills, and Baizhi was satisfied with Li Chengyi's appetite and food intake.
Baizhi herself loved food and liked to try different
But before she crossed over, she was the kind of person with big eyes and a small stomach. When she went out to travel, she wanted to eat everything, but she would only eat one or two bites of the food she bought and then be full. Her father and brother would be responsible for the rest. Now
that she has Li Chengyi, when she makes delicious food in the future, there will be someone to clean up the mess.
In this way, she can try a few dishes every day without wasting any food.
At night, Li Chengyi put a big pot of water in the bathroom for Bai Zhi.
Bai Zhi thanked him repeatedly with great excitement. Although there was no water
or electricity during this period, she also boiled some unused clothes every day, heated up some pre-stored water, simply washed herself, and washed her hair once a week.
But the days when she could use water so freely and casually felt like a long time ago.
She was very grateful for what she had done. The decision to team up with Li Chengyi now felt extremely smart!
She was really happy to think that she would not have to worry about finding water in the future!
Bai Zhi, immersed in the happiness of using water freely, did not notice the clues that Li Chengyi did not deliberately hide.
If she had not been surprised by the sudden discovery of her own supernatural powers and the joy of being able to take a bath and wash her hair, she would have carefully recalled what happened today and found many inconsistencies. place to manage.
But Bai Zhi at the moment, did not realize it.
When she found out, it was too late.
Bai Zhi, who returned to the study after taking a shower, sat on the mattress, wiping her hair while looking at the books on the bookshelf.
Most of them are professional books related to finance, biographies, and some foreign languages.
Just like her impression of Li Chengyi, a business elite with culture and self-discipline.
Although his martial arts value is not as explosive as some special forces male protagonists or killer villains, and his superpower is also water-based, which is more practical in life than offensive, but she is already very satisfied as a teammate.
The brains of business elites must be good.
They are self-disciplined and exercise regularly, and they also know some self-defense skills. It is more than enough to be able to protect themselves.
Water-based superpowers solve one of the biggest problems of survival.
It is this kind of top-notch match that is neither as ostentatious as the protagonist of the story, nor as a drag.
There is no particularly tragic past like the protagonist, or a mission that must be completed.
This is the best choice for her to travel at home without any worries!
After taking a shower, Li Chengyi sat on the edge of the bed, took a sip of iced whiskey, and reviewed what happened today.
From the three men in the corridor to Baizhi who was in a mess.
He helplessly found that this series of events and choices that led to his teaming up with Baizhi seemed to be destined.
If the three men had knocked on his door directly instead of Baizhi's door, Baizhi would not have come to thank him.
If she hadn't come to thank him, he wouldn't have discovered her white paper ability.
If her ability was not discovered because of him, he wouldn't have helped her solve her doubts and helped her change back.
If he hadn't accidentally taken advantage of her, he wouldn't have kept her to try her ability again.
If she had not over-consumed her supernatural power because of his suggestion, he would not have given her the crystal core.
If she had not wanted to repay the favor of the crystal core and had the ability that interested him, they would not have formed a team.
Therefore, all of this is inevitable due to various coincidences.
The moment he chose to come to this city, perhaps it was destined.
Li Chengyi shook his head lightly.
Forget it, forming a team itself is not a problem.
Bai Zhi is a simple person with a thoughtful look on her face. There is no difference in danger between him taking her with him and him being alone.
The two had their own insights, but perhaps because they found a trustworthy teammate, they relaxed and had a good night's sleep.
Starting the next day, Bai Zhi and Li Chengyi had breakfast and started one-on-one coaching and training.
Li Chengyi first conducted a test of her physical fitness, strength, and reaction speed. It
was better than he expected.
It seems that what he heard about her doing at home during this period was not in vain.
He re-formulated the training movements for Baizhi according to his own experience, and used himself as a zombie to teach her many attack and evasion techniques.
After eating the hot dishes and hot meals prepared by Baizhi at noon, Li Chengyi took Baizhi out for actual combat.
Li Chengyi told Baizhi that the telephone communication was completely disconnected after the power outage.
Before the power outage, he tried to call the police for rescue information, but the line was always busy and there was no response to the alarm message he sent.
Therefore, the government announcement released on TV was the last information they received.
So in the end, they planned to leave here the day after tomorrow and go to the official resettlement site on their own.
In order to be as prepared as possible for the situations encountered on the road, Bai Zhi needs to face zombies before setting off.
If you can kill a zombie yourself, it is of course the best practical experience.
