Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 863 Extreme Apocalypse 27

Hearing her words, I shifted my attention accordingly.

"When the base was established, some disaster preparedness measures must have been taken, otherwise it wouldn't have lasted long."

"Hmm, why did you come out so quickly?"

She had only mentioned it casually and hadn't thought about the house again.

I'm worried about you being out there all alone.

Ruan Chutong understood what he meant, but couldn't resist teasing him: "Brother Li, are you afraid I'll be tricked?"

"It's not that I tricked you out of your life, it's that I'm afraid someone will come and harass you."

As they walked through the base, he noticed many people staring at her.

It should be said that they were all scrutinized by many people because they were all very clean.

Especially those who looked at Ruan Chutong and Li Xinyan, the people who were sizing them up were all men, and their eyes were very dirty.

Not only does it make people uncomfortable to look at, it also affects their mood. Anyway, looking at those people makes him feel a bit itchy to touch them.

In the post-apocalyptic world, water and food are scarce, and very few people can take a bath every day.

After the extreme cold thaws, not everyone will be in the mood to find water to take a bath; they'll mostly be focused on getting enough to eat first.

It's normal for their group to attract attention, especially the women, so he couldn't let her be alone with Xinyan.

"It's so crowded! I've been waiting for half an hour and it's still not done. There are just too many people."

Li Xinyan walked out cursing.

Before she came out, Ruan Chutong had already taken her hand off Li Yanjing's arm.

Her decisive action once again drew his attention.

The atmosphere between the two was very subtle. Li Xinyan, oblivious to anything amiss, continued muttering to herself.

"I'm so hungry and sleepy right now, I just want to eat and go straight to bed."

Ruan Chutong took out a bag of instant noodles from her pocket and handed it to her: "Hang in there a little longer, have some snacks first."

Upon seeing the food, Li Xinyan smiled and accepted it, saying, "I had food in my bag, but I didn't take it out just now because I didn't want to attract attention."

Ruan Chutong took out two more packets, giving one to Li Yanjing and reminding him to look away and stop staring at her.

Li Yanjing felt her hand being squeezed hard, and she raised her lips and looked away.

The three of them stood outside eating snacks, and even though it was dark and they couldn't see very well, quite a few people were staring at them.

Seeing this, they lost their appetite and quickly finished eating before standing and chatting.

Li Xinyan sighed: "This is too terrifying. It's creepy to be stared at while eating out."

Ruan Chutong reminded her, "There are many hungry people in the tent area, so try not to go there unless necessary."

"Don't get separated from others; it's dangerous to travel alone," Li Yanjing added.

"I know, but there are rules in the base that forbid fighting, so there's still some protection, right?"

"I'm afraid someone might try something underhanded. There are a lot of alleys in here, and you won't even have time to shout for help."

Ruan Chutong's gaze swept over the alleyways between the high-rise buildings.

She wasn't afraid; it was others who would suffer the consequences.

However, Li Xinyan had only practiced martial arts for a few months and didn't have much strength, so she was easily taken advantage of.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll definitely bring people with me wherever I go."

Seeing that she was aware of the situation, Ruan Chutong and Li Yanjing felt more at ease.

The villa has six rooms, enough for four young people to have one room each, and two couples to have one room each.

Ruan Chutong, Li Xinyan, and Li Yanjing all live on the third floor.

Gao Mingcheng's room and the two couples' rooms were both on the second floor.

Ruan Chutong first put out the furniture and the food for the past few days, and then put a bed in each room.

It was originally the bed where everyone slept at home, and the sheets and blankets are still there.

However, since it was getting hot and thick blankets and quilts were no longer suitable, she changed everyone's blankets and quilts to cooling mats and air-conditioning blankets.

After eating something simple, everyone washed up and went back to their rooms to sleep.

Ruan Chutong also took a shower in her spatial dimension before going to sleep.

The next day at noon, she was awakened by the aroma of food coming from downstairs.

But I still didn't want to get up, so I took out my phone to watch the show I'd been watching recently.

downstairs

Xu Zhenzhu came out of the kitchen carrying dishes, followed by Li Dayuan carrying rice.

Mr. and Mrs. Gao followed behind, each carrying a dish as they walked into the living room.

Li Xinyan and Gao Mingcheng both looked a little sleepy, and were lying on the table in a daze.

Li Yanjing glanced at the two of them and placed the bowls and chopsticks on the table.

Xu Zhenzhu put down her bowl of vegetables and looked towards the stairs: "Is Tongtong still not up? I'll go and call her."

“Aunt Xu, I’ll go.” Li Yanjing said almost without hesitation.

"Okay, there's another dish in the kitchen, you can go and call it."

Li Yanjing nodded and went upstairs.

Seeing this, Li Xinyan swallowed back the words she was about to say about calling for help and continued to stare blankly.

Gao Mingcheng's gaze followed Li Yanjing, his eyes showing a thoughtful expression.

"Boom-boom-boom"

"Tongtong, are you awake?" Li Yanjing knocked on the door and asked in a low voice.

Ruan Chutong paused the TV series, put away her phone, and then stood up to open the door.

"Good morning, Brother Li." She had just gotten up and still had a lazy, reluctant feeling about getting out of bed.

Li Yanjing looked at her, her hair slightly messy, her face bare, and she was wearing a white, knee-length, sheer slip dress.

She was like a boneless person, leaning against the door with her head slightly tilted back, talking to herself.

He found her adorable and reached out to pat her head: "Good morning, the food is ready. Today we can have the three dishes and one soup you've been talking about."

A while ago, Ruan Chutong kept saying when she could have a normal meal of three dishes and a soup.

When she said "three dishes and one soup," she didn't mean three dishes and one soup, but rather a proper stir-fry and rice.

On the night before leaving the temple, although they had a sumptuous meal, they did not eat any cooked rice.

The rice was all packed up and packaged; that night, everyone ate steamed buns and dumplings.

"Okay, I'll change my clothes and go wash up. Could you close the door for me?" Ruan Chutong lazily turned around to change her clothes.

"Okay, I'll go down first."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Chutong paused, her eyes flashing as she called out, "Brother Li."

Li Yanjing hadn't even had a chance to move yet when he heard her words and quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

He didn't seem to intend to leave immediately.

Did you come here specifically to call me?

"Yes, Aunt Xu was originally going to come."

Ruan Chutong nodded upon hearing this: "Originally, it was Brother Li who wanted to call me. Please lower your head and nod."

Li Yanjing was a little confused, but she did as instructed.

Soon, he felt a soft touch on his face and looked at her with surprise.

"Brother Li is so kind. That was your travel fee."

Ruan Chutong pulled her tiptoe back and closed the door with a smile.

Li Yanjing stared at the door in front of him, the sensation on his face still lingering. He stood there for a long while, his gaze deep, before finally leaving.
