I Have a Job

Chapter 5: Surrender

  "What are you standing there for? Come over and help." Qi Yu walked in holding three large cardboard boxes.

  Then I found Shen Qingyi sitting on the ground, crying with tears and snot.

  He was a little confused. What was going on with this woman?

  At this moment, Shen Qingyi came back to her senses and her nose felt sore again.

  "It turns out that he didn't abandon me!"

  She quickly took the box from Qi Yu's hand.

  They are all self-heating hot pot!

  Although he was a little puzzled as to why Shen Qingyi was crying like that, he still said happily:

  "I just searched the room next door and found a lot of good things in it. Hurry up and come over to help move them over."

  After saying that, Qi Yu turned around and walked out again.

  "Oh." Shen Qingyi followed Qi Yu out in a daze.

  In this kind of residential building, the fire escape doors on each floor are locked, so after dealing with the two zombies, this floor is temporarily safe.

  She looked at the two zombies in the corner, feeling a little disgusted, and quickly followed Qi Yu's footsteps.

  The reason why Qi Yu was happy was that there was a lot of food in this room, not to mention the three boxes of self-heating hot pot.

  There are also four boxes of drinks here, including lemon tea, milk, coconut milk, and Wanglaoji.

  Not only that, there are also many scattered snacks.

  This is really a timely help.

  There was not much food in the house to begin with, so Qi Yu had to speed up the pace of cleaning the floor, otherwise by the time all the food was consumed, he would not be able to open a safe passage to the supermarket downstairs.

  Then I would really starve to death.

  Now with this food, they have more tolerance.

  With Shen Qingyi's help, the two quickly moved everything that could be moved.

  ...

  After finishing their work, the two sat on the chairs. Qi Yu opened two drinks and handed one to Shen Qingyi.

  The electricity is still available, so you can still have a refreshing cold drink at this moment.

  Qi Yu felt that the electricity supply would soon be gone. After all, after the order collapsed, no one would take care of these things.

  After he rested for a while, he was planning to have a good talk with Shen Qingyi, after all, the two of them were going to be living together for a long time.

  Then he couldn't let her act like a spoiled brat, otherwise Qi Yu wouldn't have the patience to indulge her.

  Just when Qi Yu was about to speak, Shen Qingyi, who was sitting opposite him, spoke first.

  Shen Qingyi stammered a few times and finally said, "I'm sorry."

  Qi Yu was stunned. He didn't expect that she would apologize on her own initiative. He was a little surprised.   "I was wrong just now, you were right to scold me, I was a little confused at that time, I shouldn't have lost my temper with you..."   "Please don't be angry with me, okay? I will change. You...can you please not abandon me..."   As Shen Qingyi spoke, her voice began to tremble again, and slowly turned into low sobs.   Qi Yu looked at the aggrieved woman in front of him, and his heart softened a little. Originally, he had thought of sending her a direct message.   Now that she has taken the initiative to apologize, there is no need for me to say anything.   After all, it's enough that she can admit her mistake.   "Don't worry, I won't abandon you." Qi Yu still comforted her.   Thinking back to the way Shen Qingyi was sitting on the ground crying just now, it was probably because when I went out just now, she didn't find me when she came out and thought I had abandoned her.   After thinking for a while, he said again:   "I was going to go into that room yesterday, but you showed up and put it on hold, so I just went over there."   Shen Qingyi felt warm in her heart when she saw that Qi Yu actually explained this sentence himself.   "Then where are you going in the future, can you tell me in advance, otherwise... I will worry..."   "Okay, I got it. Next time I have any action, I will tell you in advance."   Shen Qingyi was sure at this time that Qi Yu was really not angry. After saying the apology, she felt relieved.   After a long silence, she continued:   "See if I can help in the future. Just call me. After all, you have taken care of me a lot, and I should do something too."   Qi Yu was quite satisfied to see her take the initiative to speak. It seemed that it was good that she did not have princess syndrome. After all, the two of them would be together for the next year.   I have no obligation to take care of her unilaterally.   Since we are living together, we all have to work and do things.   He said, "Okay, then the housework will be left to you from now on. You will be responsible for cooking, washing dishes and cleaning."   "As for me, you can see that the food we have cannot sustain our lives for too long. We have to find more food."   "There is a large supermarket and pharmacy downstairs. We are now on the top floor. I plan to go down one floor at a time and collect all the food in the supermarket."   "As long as we can clean up all the zombies around, the resources there will be enough for us to live for one or two years."   "So, the man will be the breadwinner and the woman will be the homemaker. Is that okay with you?"   Shen Qingyi nodded after listening to Qi Yu's explanation and said, "Yeah, that's fine with me."   Then she smiled and said, "You really seem a bit chauvinistic in this way~"   Qi Yu saw that she was willing to joke with him, so he didn't keep a straight face and replied with a smile:

  "If you think my male chauvinism is not okay, that's fine. You go deal with the zombies and I'll clean up the house."

  "I don't have that courage. I think male chauvinism is good, hehe~"

  The two chatted and laughed for a while, and then Shen Qingyi asked worriedly: "Do you think someone will come to rescue?"

  "I don't know, but there should be. At least we have to live well before the rescue comes."

  Qi Yu didn't know whether this world really existed, and he didn't know whether Shen Qingyi would continue to stay here after his dream ended.

  He didn't want Shen Qingyi to feel too desperate, so he portrayed the situation in a more optimistic way.

  "Don't worry too much. You can see that these zombies are not difficult to deal with. Maybe the JF hasn't reacted for a while. Once they react, these zombies will be easy to deal with."

  Based on Qi Yu's understanding of this kind of simulation game, it is probably impossible to wait for the army to come to rescue. If he wants to survive, he must rely on himself.

  However, there is no need to tell her about this kind of judgment and speculation. For Shen Qingyi, knowing this would make her even more desperate.

  Although he knew that this was a simulated world, just like a virtual game, everything here was no different from reality.

  He really couldn't treat the living person in front of him as an NPC, and this might even be a parallel world.

  After listening to Qi Yu's comfort, Shen Qingyi felt much less worried.

  "Was what you said true when we were having dinner that day?" Shen Qingyi asked suddenly.

  "Hmm?" Qi Yu was a little unresponsive and thought for a while with a puzzled look in his eyes.

  "That's right... you said you didn't plan to have a romantic relationship."

  "Oh, that's right."Chapter 6 I have a good impression of you

  "Oh, then why don't you find a girlfriend?"

  "Why should I find a girlfriend?" Qi Yu asked back.

  Shen Qingyi's eyes became a little strange: "Could it be that you are..."

  Although she did not say the rest of the words, Qi Yu still understood her eyes and solemnly stated: "What are you looking at? I am as straight as I can be, don't think too much!"

  In fact, it's no wonder that Shen Qingyi thought this way.

  She was quite confident in all aspects until she suddenly appeared in this apocalyptic environment and was rescued by Qi Yu.

  But she found that Qi Yu, this man, in such an environment, his words and actions were too bounded, and his behavior was very straight.

  All the men who pursued her in the past always spoke softly to her, eager to show her their most gentle and considerate side, just to win her favor.

  Qi Yu was totally unromantic and even treated her harshly. He wouldn't even try to comfort her. Regardless of whether the facts were right or wrong, when a girl is angry, a man should take the initiative to comfort her.

  "But, I see that you don't seem to be interested in me at all."

  Shen Qingyi regretted her words as soon as they came out of her mouth. Under normal circumstances, how could she say such words to a man.

  It's a bit ambiguous.

  Sure enough, when Qi Yu heard her words, he was stunned at first, then he looked at her seriously and said, "Then will you like me?"

  Shen Qingyi's ears turned red, and she was thinking in panic how to reject him so as not to embarrass the man in front of her.

  After all, she had to rely on Qi Yu to survive at this moment. If she accidentally hurt other people's self-esteem with her words, the consequences for her would not be good.

  Whether being abandoned by him or making him angry and tearing off his mask to expose herself, these were not what she wanted.

  "That can't be right." Qi Yu continued to talk to himself.

  "Ah?" Only then did Shen Qingyi realize that he was asking and answering his own question.

  This is too embarrassing...

  "Actually, the reason why I wasn't tempted by your beauty is not because you are not pretty enough, but because I know it's impossible between us. Since it's impossible, let's not think about it."

  "I also know myself well. You will definitely not look down on me with my conditions."

  Qi Yu continued, "Actually, when we were having dinner, I understood the meaning of your refusal. It was nothing more than giving me a way out."

  Shen Qingyi's face showed a complicated expression. In fact, she really didn't like Qi Yu at that time.

  It's just that she didn't want to say it too directly and hurt others, so she made up an excuse to accuse Qi Yu of being forced to go on a blind date.

  At this time Shen Qingyi subconsciously said: "I... I think you are wrong to do this. How can you give up after hitting a snag? How can you pursue a woman like this."

  "Sometimes women reject you just out of pride. You have to insist. Don't you know that when a woman gets used to your presence, you are successful?"

  Qi Yu curled his lips, and was a little disdainful of these words: "I think being single is also good."

  Shen Qingyi was angry: "Then dare you tell me, have you never particularly wanted someone to be with you?"

  She stared into Qi Yu's eyes, as if trying to find evidence of his lying.

  "Of course there is." Qi Yu raised his eyebrows and admitted it, then went on to say, "But in today's society, the relationship between men and women is such that it is common for women to give to men." "   If you give, she will think it is what she should do, but when you give less, she will think you don't love her anymore."   "Once you ask a woman to give something, she will jump up and scold you for being a CPU!"   "If you are not good-looking, have no money, no house or car, and can't make a woman happy with your words, then it is simply impossible for you to chase the woman you like."   "You can only try to impress her in other ways, put down your dignity, spend all your little money on her, and devote all your energy and time just to make her happy." "   And in the end, she may not really fall in love with you. Maybe the best outcome is that she will just treat you as a more useful spare tire."   "Finding a girlfriend requires sacrificing my living standard to such a great extent, so I might as well be single. As for getting married, that's even more distant."   Shen Qingyi looked at Qi Yu with complicated eyes. She couldn't put herself in Qi Yu's shoes and think about these issues from his perspective.   Because she is a vested interest, although she cannot agree with the feelings, she was still somewhat moved by Qi Yu's words.   : : :   :   :   :   :   :   :   :   :   :   :   :   :   Qi Yu didn't think that Shen Qingyi's words just now were sincere, especially for a woman like Shen Qingyi, who had never experienced the troubles that Qi Yu had.   The words of comfort that came out of her mouth were totally off the mark.   What she said simply meant that she felt she had to rely on herself to survive at this time.   That's why he said some words that made himself feel comfortable, but he could also understand Shen Qingyi's mentality at this time.   So he opened his mouth and said:

  "Actually, you don't have to do this..."Chapter 7 Daily Life

  "Actually, you don't have to be like this. In this situation, being alone is not a good thing. If you have someone to keep you company, at least you won't feel so lonely."

  "And even if we take a step back, having a beautiful woman at home can be a feast for the eyes."

  "Although I'm not a saint, I certainly won't do anything worse than an animal. You can rest assured about that. That kind of thing is based on mutual consent. If you don't agree, I won't force you."

  GOOGLE search for TWKAN

  "But I have to say something ugly in advance. Since we are living together, we have to be more united and put away those old lady habits."

  Shen Qingyi was embarrassed when Qi Yu pointed out her little thoughts, but she was annoyed when she heard Qi Yu say it so directly afterwards.

  She looked a little unhappy and snorted, "Hmph, I know! I found out that you are a straight man, you deserve to be single, hmph!"

  After saying that, she picked up the dishes on the table and went to the kitchen to wash them.

  The reason why Shen Qingyi dared to suddenly become arrogant was because she also discovered that although Qi Yu spoke a little directly, his mind was still very upright.

  After saying this, she had a deeper understanding of the man in front of her.

  With the collapse of social order, she was also worried that if Qi Yu really lost his bestiality and tried to force her, she would have no room to resist.

  In such an environment, the fate of women, especially beautiful women like her, is often worrying.

  Although Qi Yu's words seemed a bit cynical, they also reflected his integrity, which at least alleviated some of her worries.

  Qi Yu was still very satisfied with this. At least Shen Qingyi was still willing to work.

  For example, his ex-girlfriend refused to do any work. She watched too much chicken soup for the soul on Douyin and thought that men were born to pamper her, let alone housework like washing dishes and mopping the floor.

  Like birthdays, individual anniversaries, 10-day anniversaries, 66-day anniversaries, 88-day anniversaries, in short, everything must be given a so-called sense of ritual.

  Her purpose was to ask for gifts, and when it was Qi Yu's birthday, she pretended to have a quarrel before that to avoid the past...

  It was because of this ex-girlfriend that Qi Yu lost interest in falling in love.

  It's really too embarrassing.

  It would be better for this young lady to go into the market and benefit others. He really can't afford her.

  Qi Yu's judgment of Shen Qingyi was roughly the same. She got angry when he said something about her subconsciously wasteful behavior this morning.

  Isn't this exactly the behavior of a rich lady? She has obviously been spoiled by the people around her.

  Qi Yu would not spoil her. If he really let Shen Qingyi become his girlfriend, he would have to take care of this and that in the future, which would be too troublesome.

  If you have no desires, you will be strong. As long as you don't want to pursue her, your attitude will naturally be tough.

  If someone does something wrong, you can scold them without any scruples and not tolerate them. How cool is that!

  After all, he knew very well that this was just a dream game, and he would be able to return to reality after a year, and it didn't matter if she was gone.

  It is absolutely impossible for him to lower his head and coax a woman in a submissive manner.

  The kitchen was an open-plan one. Shen Qingyi, who was washing dishes with her back to Qi Yu, was bending over. Her seductive body was faintly visible under her loose pajamas.

  "Don't be a slave to desire..." Qi Yu took a glance accidentally, felt a little moved, and secretly recited the Heart Purification Mantra in his heart.

  ...

  At night, Shen Qingyi was lying on the bed in the room, feeling relaxed physically and mentally. Her mood had gone through a lot of ups and downs today.   Afterwards, she chatted a lot with Qi Yu and she felt relieved.   At least what she could be sure of was that this man would not abandon her.   At this time, Shen Qingyi was still struggling with one thing in her mind, that is, whether to lock the door, because Qi Yu also made it clear today that he would not do anything worse than an animal.   If I lock the door now, Qi Yu will definitely be able to notice the noise.   That would make her seem a little wary of him, although from a woman's perspective, there was nothing wrong with her locking the door.   But in this situation, she was also worried that her every move would cause some misunderstanding to Qi Yu.   After a while, she took a glass of water and hung it on the door handle.   If Qi Yu really broke into her room while she was sleeping in the middle of the night, she would be the first to know.   ...   At this time, Qi Yu was looking at the computer in the room. The original owner of this room had a computer.   Qi Yu found that there were many videos downloaded in it, and there was also a 2T folder called "Selected Learning Materials".   He thought that even if it was the end of the world, he could not give up his progressive mindset.   Open it decisively.   Wow! Golden legend!   Qi Yu felt that the original owner of this computer was truly a talented person, as he was able to compile such high-quality learning resources.   And they are also sorted into different categories.   Okay, okay, there is a story behind this dream game!   So Qi Yu decided to stretch his muscles before setting out to fight tomorrow, after all, he had been suffering from insomnia recently.   It's not too much to try the airplane sleep-aid method and adjust your work and rest schedule.   The next day, when Qi Yu woke up, he found that Shen Qingyi had arrived earlier than him.   Moreover, she had finished her busy work in the kitchen and placed two bowls of noodles on the table.   "Are you awake? Go wash up, then you can eat."   Since she had just cooked noodles, Shen Qingyi tied her hair into a high ponytail, which made her look very pretty.

  Qi Yu looked at her in a daze for a moment, feeling that the scene at this moment gave him a very warm and happy feeling.

  "Come and try it. This is my first time cooking! Try it and see how it tastes."

  Shen Qingyi looked expectant. She had never cooked by herself before, and today was her first time trying to cook, although it was just simple noodles.

  And the first time was given to the man in front of him, which was really a bargain for him.

  After Qi Yu finished washing up, he sat down and looked at the noodles in the bowl. They looked good.

  In fact, cooking noodles is not a difficult thing, but looking at Shen Qingyi's expectant eyes.

  He still praised: "I didn't expect you can cook noodles, not bad."

  Shen Qingyi smiled happily after hearing this and said, "Of course, you can be happy, this is my first time!"

  Then he asked, "Are you going out after dinner?"

  "Yes, although we have some supplies now, it is still necessary to clean up all the zombies around here. After all, we don't know how long we have to wait for rescue. Of course, the more daily necessities the better." "

  Yeah, then you must be careful, I will wait for you to come back home."

  Looking at Shen Qingyi's slightly well-behaved attitude, Qi Yu felt quite satisfied in his heart, with an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

  He smiled and nodded, then started eating.

  But the moment he ate it, he felt numb.

  Seeing this, Shen Qingyi asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Did I make it taste bad?!"Chapter 8 I'm worried about you

  Qi Yu held it in at first, then ate it in one gulp, and said, "Ahem...it's okay, I'm edible."

  Shen Qingyi was a little unconvinced and started eating it herself.

  As soon as she took the first bite,

  her face twisted: "Ah! So sweet!"

  Qi Yu did not know whether to laugh or cry: "Did you confuse salt and sugar?"

  This book is first released on the entire network by 𝕥𝕨𝕜𝕒𝕟.𝕔𝕠𝕞Shen

  Qingyi looked up, her face extremely embarrassed, and apologized: "I'm sorry, it was my mistake. I haven't done these before, so..."

  Then she was a little worried that Qi Yu would dislike her, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I will definitely improve next time, I will study hard."

  Qi Yu said: "It doesn't matter, although it's hard to swallow, but it's good to fill my stomach now."

  Shen Qingyi's face was a little embarrassed. Why did these comforting words give people a deeper sense of frustration?

  Huh, huh, straight man! Qi Yu, you are a straight man.

  Although she was still complaining about Qi Yu in her heart, Shen Qingyi was still very happy. At least Qi Yu did not throw away the bowl of noodles in disgust in front of her.

  He must not want to hurt his feelings.

  After realizing this, Shen Qingyi started eating happily.

  Qi Yu was thinking in his heart that he had told others yesterday that food should not be wasted. Although this bowl of noodles was indeed quite unpalatable, he had no choice but to swallow it.

  As he was eating, he noticed that Shen Qingyi seemed to be giggling secretly, and he was confused for a moment.

  On the one hand, Shen Qingyi felt that although Qi Yu expressed disgust, he actually seemed to be enjoying the food. She also felt that although he spoke in a more straightforward manner, he would not coax others.

  But the action still made her feel comfortable.

  Furthermore, the glass that she had hung on the door handle with fear last night was still motionless.

  This gave her more confidence in what Qi Yu said.

  It seems that he is worthy of my trust.

  After breakfast, Qi Yu began to make final preparations.

  He put on a thick cotton coat in the house, wrapped a scarf around his neck, put on a mask and goggles, and was fully armed.

  Although those zombies are easy to deal with, Qi Yu is also afraid of capsizing in the ditch.

  Equipping yourself well can also give yourself more tolerance for mistakes.

  Although it is a bit bloated and the sensitivity is reduced by a few points.

  But it's not a big problem.

  Qi Yu was holding a baseball bat in his hand. There was no other way, as this was the most suitable weapon in the house.

  You can't just use a kitchen knife to fight, in this kind of battle the better the better.

  Behind him, Shen Qingyi was helping Qi Yu tidy up his clothes. She looked a little worried at this moment: "You must be careful. If it's too dangerous, run back quickly. I'll be waiting for you behind the door."

  "Okay, don't worry."   With a click, the door opened.   Qi Yu waved his hand to signal Shen Qingyi to close the door. Under her worried and reluctant eyes, Qi Yu first checked the situation on this floor.   Only after finding that there was nothing unexpected did he open the security door of the fire escape.   To be honest, this immersive feeling still gave Qi Yu a sense of adrenaline rush.   Although he knew it was just a game, the sense of reality still made him feel excited and slightly scared.   As he walked lightly to the next floor, a zombie was guarding the door. Hearing Qi Yu's movements, he pounced over.   Qi Yu was startled by its sudden appearance, but after he reacted, he hit it with a stick, and it fell down with a snap.   Okay, okay, fall asleep right away, good job.   The other two zombies behind heard the noise and rushed over, but Qi Yu was already prepared.   The initial unfamiliarity had disappeared with the previous attack. He first kicked a zombie away, and then hit another zombie's head with a stick.   It was easy to deal with two zombies.   I thought to myself: As expected, I knew that the Novice Village dungeon wouldn't be too difficult.   After he dealt with the two zombies, he dragged the bodies to a corner where they would not affect his movements, and then began to check the situation on this floor.   I found that no door on the 6th floor was open, and I didn't know where the zombies came from.   Then he went down to the fifth floor and found that there was not a single zombie there and the doors and windows were all closed.   He felt much more relaxed.   It seems that there are relatively few people living near this community. If there are not many residents on each floor, there naturally won't be many infected people.   According to his observation, looking down from the balcony, there were not many zombies wandering around the supermarket.   From this point of view, the difficulty should not be too great.   Another round of action, after a few hours, Qi Yu swept the floors all the way to the third floor.   He felt that he was running out of strength and had to go back to rest before continuing.   After all, he didn't come here with ease. Every time he opened the door to a new floor, he had to worry about whether zombies would pounce on him. This kind of psychological fear was actually the most exhausting.   And after cleaning, you have to check whether each door can be opened to avoid the possibility of hidden dangers in the future.   Then he pulled over two large trash cans and blocked the middle of the fire escape on the third floor.   This way, if any unexpected situation occurs, he will be able to detect it.   After finishing all these, he found that it was almost noon, so he set off to go back.   Shen Qingyi, who was alone at home, was originally relatively calm, but as time passed.

  She began to worry about losing something.

  On the one hand, she was worried whether Qi Yu would be in danger, and on the other hand, she was worried whether Qi Yu would abandon her.

  As three or four hours passed, she could no longer suppress the random thoughts in her mind.

  "Could he really be in danger, or is it that he actually thinks I'm a burden and can't do anything well, so he decided to give up on me..."

  The anxiety in her heart made her feel uneasy.

  Shen Qingyi wandered in front of the door, wanting to open it but not daring to, so she could only look through the peephole from time to time.

  Unconsciously, her whole body and mind were moved by Qi Yu.

  Finally...

  there was a knock on the door, accompanied by Qi Yu's voice, and she excitedly ran over to open the door.

  Seeing that it was Qi Yu who was safe and sound, she rushed over to him excitedly.

  She didn't care whether her actions were too bold or not, she only knew that she had been suffering for so long, and now seeing Qi Yu returning safely, the heavy stone in her heart finally fell.

  Qi Yu was also stunned by Shen Qingyi's sudden hug. The fragrance of Shen Qingyi's hair flowed through his nose, and his heart was slightly moved.

  "Um... let's go in first and talk about it?"

  After hearing Qi Yu's reminder, Shen Qingyi realized that her subconscious action just now was a bit bold. Her face flushed, and then she gave up her seat to let Qi Yu go in first.

  After closing the door, Shen Qingyi said shyly: "I was just... too worried about you. You were gone for such a long time. Do you know that I was worried about you?"

  Qi Yu was a little absent-minded. Her words made him feel a sense of care between a girlfriend or a couple.

  Listening to Shen Qingyi's true feelings, Qi Yu felt a warmth in his heart. Words can deceive people, but subconscious actions cannot.

  "I'm sorry to have made you worry..."Chapter 9 Between Life and Death

  Qi Yu also knew that he had been gone for a long time. Originally they had agreed to be back in an hour or two, so he had to maintain his strength and handle the problem in multiple sections.

  But he didn't expect that these zombies were not that difficult to deal with, so he just went ahead with all his strength.

  "I have good news to tell you. These zombies are not difficult to deal with. I just swept all the way down, and now the safe area has expanded to the third floor. The progress is much smoother than expected."

  Qi Yu originally estimated that it would take three or four days to completely clear the zombies in this building. Now it seems that if he has a good rest today, he can achieve his goal tomorrow.

  When Shen Qingyi heard what Qi Yu said, she was in a good mood: "That's good, but don't force yourself."

  "Our current food reserves are still sufficient, there's no need to rush."

  Qi Yu explained: "I've checked, there are not many zombies wandering around the supermarket downstairs, we must take this opportunity to collect all the supplies in the supermarket."

  "If we wait a few days, and the zombies from other places wander over here, we won't be able to last for a month or two with our reserves."

  Shen Qingyi knew that what Qi Yu said made sense, but she was still very worried in her heart: "Then you must be careful, it doesn't matter if you're a day or two late."

  "I know."

  Qi Yu said as he took out a bottle of drink from the refrigerator and drank it in big gulps.

  The battle just now really made him very excited, and now he feels tired after returning home. Fortunately, he usually gets some exercise, otherwise he would not be able to handle this sudden high-intensity work.

  After Qi Yu took off several thick clothes, he went to the bathroom to wash.

  When I came out of the shower, Shen Qingyi had already prepared two self-heating hot pots on the table.

  "The noodles in the refrigerator are gone, and these are all we can eat from now on."

  Qi Yu nodded: "Okay, let's finish all the food in the refrigerator. I have a feeling that the power may be out in these days."

  "Ah?!"

  "Have you seen a living person outside these days? The city's power system needs manpower to maintain. Now there are probably no survivors in the whole city. Power outages are normal, and we must also be prepared for water outages." "

  This is why we have to collect all the supplies in the supermarket as soon as possible. It's okay if there is no electricity, but when there is no water, that will be real trouble."

  Shen Qingyi was silent, eating the self-heating hot pot silently. Now she is mentally prepared for the crisis she will face in the future.

  She was particularly grateful at this moment that she had met Qi Yu, otherwise she would not even be able to step out of the door and would have starved to death in the house.

  Qi Yu not only had the courage to face those terrifying zombies, but also made long-term plans with foresight.

  The most important thing is that he had no intentions towards her. At first she wondered if Qi Yu would force himself on her, but that didn't happen.

  It seemed as if he simply regarded himself as a partner to live with.

  For the first time, she doubted her own charm...

  The two chatted casually for a while, and after eating, Qi Yu went back to his room.

  Looking down from the balcony, the zombies wandering around were scattered and posed no threat.

  As long as there are no groups of four or five appearing at the same time, Qi Yu is confident that he can deal with them, at least judging from today's situation.

  These zombies don't seem to be very smart, they just look scary with their grinning faces.

  ...   The next day, Qi Yu slept until almost noon and woke up feeling refreshed.   When I opened the door, I found that Shen Qingyi had gotten up early and was sitting on the small sofa in the living room in a daze.   "You're awake." Seeing Qi Yu coming out, Shen Qingyi stood up, with an embarrassed look on her face, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.   "Hmm?" Qi Yu naturally saw through it and asked, "If you have anything to say, just say it directly."   "Just... can you take me with you later?"   "Didn't you say you didn't dare? Why do you suddenly want to follow me today?" Qi Yu was a little surprised. He didn't expect Shen Qingyi to be able to help him with anything.   My biggest expectation is that in this deserted apocalypse, there will be someone to live with so that life won't be too boring.   "I also want to share some of your burden. At least I can help you with chores in the back."   Shen Qingyi was actually struggling for the whole night, mainly because Qi Yu said that the zombies were not that scary.   She also wanted to try to face it on her own. At least with Qi Yu by her side to protect her, she felt more confident.   The most important thing was that she didn't want to wait at home alone, and she also wanted to see if she could help him.   Qi Yu looked at her twice and did not refuse. He felt that it was indeed necessary to bring Shen Qingyi along.   He didn't know whether the woman in front of him would disappear with him after he passed away in a year, or would continue to stay in this world.   Although she was just an NPC, he still felt that he could take her there to help her build up her courage, so that at least she would have the strength to survive after he left.   "Okay, then go find some thicker clothes, equip yourself, and come with me later."   "Oh, okay."   Soon Shen Qingyi also wrapped herself up like a big dumpling. The two looked at each other and were amused by this somewhat funny outfit.   "   Uh...if you keep holding me like this, it will be more likely to get into trouble if there is any danger later."   Qi Yu glanced at Shen Qingyi behind him speechlessly. At this time, he was walking in front and Shen Qingyi followed closely behind him.   One hand held a baseball bat, and the other hand tightly grasped Qi Yu's clothes around his waist.

  "Oh, I'm sorry, I..."

  "Don't be so scared. These zombies are not difficult to deal with. As long as you overcome the fear of the first time, it will be fine. If you are really scared, just stand back and you can help me if there are any unexpected situations later." "

  Okay then." Shen Qingyi said in a low voice, but although she let go of the hand that was holding Qi Yu's clothes, she did not dare to move too far away.

  Although there was no danger on the floors behind her, she still had a palpitation, worrying that if she was too far away and there was danger, she would definitely panic.

  After arriving at the place that was cleaned yesterday, Qi Yu found that there was no change at the scene. He thought that there should be no zombies wandering around.

  He glanced at Shen Qingyi behind him, and after confirming that there was nothing unusual, he slowly opened the fire door.

  Bang!

  As soon as he opened the door, a zombie pounced on him, but he was prepared and killed each small zombie with one stick.

  But this time a serious accident happened, the zombie half raised his head and bared his teeth, the stick was hit and got stuck in his mouth, and could not be pulled out for a while.

  And during this delay, the other two zombies behind pounced on him together.

  Qi Yu's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Damn, I made a mistake!

  After all, the terrain was narrow, and Qi Yu was knocked to the ground by mistake, with a zombie about to bite his face.

  At the critical moment, Shen Qingyi rushed up from behind, screaming, and used the baseball bat in her hand to push away the zombie that was about to eat Qi Yu.

  But in this way, the zombies' target shifted to Shen Qingyi.

  Shen Qingyi stood there stupidly as if she was frightened, and was immediately knocked down by another zombie.
