"Useless stuff! It's only been a few minutes and it's already no good, what a letdown!"
Ma Yinjiao got up, picked up the clothes she had just thrown on the floor, and hastily put them on.
"Ouch…"
Wang Lianda supported his waist, looking pained.
"I haven't eaten for days, how can I have any strength!"
But when he looked at Ma Yinjiao, his gaze was inexplicably more ambiguous.
You can't say it, you really can't say it.
Actually, when you close your eyes, it feels about the same.
After all, she is a woman.
So what if she's a bit ugly and chubby? It's quite reassuring.
Especially in this monster-infested apocalypse.
She can still protect herself in the future!
"Wow! You have quite a bit of food here!"
Ma Yinjiao discovered a cardboard box under Wang Lianda's bed and pulled it out.
To her surprise, she found some ham sausages, eight-treasure porridge, drinks, and other food inside!
And a lump of something indescribable—actually, it was Wang Lianda's "ex-girlfriend"—which she disdainfully threw out the window.
Then she took out a chicken leg from the box, unwrapped it without any hesitation, and started eating it voraciously.
Wang Lianda watched, feeling a pang of heartache.
He felt sorry for his ex-girlfriend, but even more for his food.
He hurriedly said, "I usually just like to snack a bit during my shifts, but this is all I have, so eat sparingly…"
These days, he had been surviving on these snacks, nibbling on a small chicken foot each day!
But with one bite from Ma Yinjiao, she had wiped out his food supply for three days! Yet he didn't dare to say it too bluntly.
Because Ma Yinjiao could just sit on him and crush him!
Hearing this, Ma Yinjiao shot him a disdainful glance: "You, a district manager, still need to do shifts yourself?"
Wang Lianda scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed, but still told the truth: "Actually, I'm just an agent! The real property manager insisted on going out to patrol on the first day and ended up getting eaten by a big cat! I used to be a security guard."
"What?!"
Ma Yinjiao's eyes widened as she chewed her food, pointing at Wang Lianda's nose and scolding.
"I must have been blind to give my precious chastity to a stinky security guard! Just tell me what to do! You have to marry me now, and the bride price can't be less than two hundred thousand!"
Wang Lianda chuckled: "Don't worry, once the disaster is over, I'll definitely marry you!"
One has been widowed for many years, and the other is an unmarried older woman; they could be considered a match made in heaven.
"Hmm."
Ma Yinjiao was very satisfied with his attitude, then changed the subject.
"By the way! Now I'm your wife! That Lin Bulang actually dared to bully me, so tell me, how are you going to deal with him?"
Wang Lianda's eyes turned red at the mention of that name:
"That bastard! Relying on having some supplies, he dares to openly flirt with those young girls in the group! Damn it! There are so many pretty girls in our community, does he want to enjoy them all by himself?"
Ma Yinjiao slapped him:
"What's wrong? Do you have thoughts about those young girls?"
Wang Lianda covered his face and quickly changed his words: "No, no, no! What I mean is, we should find a way to get his room number, then go to his place and rob all his supplies, turning them into our own! That way, we'll have supplies, right?"
Ma Yinjiao thought for a moment and scolded:
"Idiot! There are only so few people in this building, do you still need to get his information? Just go door to door, we'll definitely find him!"
Wang Lianda slapped his forehead, feeling enlightened:
"So you mean, we shouldn't just focus on him, but should collect supplies from the whole building?"
"You're right! We should go door to door and search, robbing all their supplies!"
"Since supplies are scarce now, they're bound to die sooner or later!"
"Rather than dying together, we might as well rob their things and let us survive!"
His gaze gradually turned fierce, and his expression became increasingly sinister!
Ma Yinjiao pouted, thinking for a while, and affirmed: "Good idea!"
Wang Lianda added: "But just the two of us probably isn't enough; we need to find a few more helpers!"
He immediately made a few phone calls.
In the next half hour, three young security guards arrived one after another at the monitoring room.
Wang Lianda shared his plan with them.
These guys also had red eyes and readily agreed.
After all, everyone was starving, going crazy with hunger, practically wanting to eat human flesh! What's the big deal about robbing things? They just needed a leader brave enough to break the ice; otherwise, they would have gone to rob long ago!
Ma Yinjiao watched these strong young security guards, nearly drooling!
So she grabbed one of the young guards' hands and smiled threateningly:
"Hey, you guys are quite handsome! I hope we can cooperate well in the future; otherwise, I'll take you all down one by one!"
Looking at her hefty figure, the young guards were so scared they nodded repeatedly:
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, we'll do our best!"
Wang Lianda had a premonition that he was about to achieve something great in this crumbling world!
So he raised his arm and declared: "Alright! I hereby announce that our supply recovery team is officially established! Let's set off immediately!"
...
"Why hasn't Lin Lang delivered my bird's nest yet! Didn't you say it would be fine? If he doesn't deliver, then you go out and buy some!"
In the rented apartment.
Shen Chuchu's mother's angry roar echoed in the small space.
Shen Chuchu looked dejected:
"Mom! How could anyone be selling things outside now! Even if there are, I wouldn't dare to go out!"
Shen Lingtian, who was playing a game, raised his head and said unhappily: "What are you two arguing about? What time is it, and why haven't we eaten yet?"
"Ah! Is our Xiao Tian hungry? Don't worry!"
Her mother turned around and glared at Shen Chuchu: "You useless thing! Hurry up and make food for Xiao Tian!"
"Oh!"
Shen Chuchu walked to the kitchen in a daze, skillfully opened the fridge, but then remembered it had been empty for days.
She searched the cabinets and found that the only food left at home was a few packs of instant noodles! No one knew this disaster would last so long!
In the first few days after the blood mist descended, their family of three would prepare five dishes and a soup for each meal! Every meal was different! Anything leftover was thrown straight into the trash!
As a result, they consumed more than half of their supplies in one go!
Otherwise, they could have held on for at least another half month! At this moment, all the purified water at home had been consumed.
The instant noodles could only be cooked with tap water.
Although that tap water was particularly dirty and smelly.
But clever Shen Chuchu thought of a way to filter it a bit by blocking the faucet with a piece of clothing, making the water quality slightly better.
She used this water to soak the noodles and brought them to Shen Lingtian.
But Shen Lingtian only took one bite and spat it on the ground:
"Wow! What's this noodle taste like! Didn't I say I don't eat old phlegm and pickled vegetables!"
Shen Chuchu hurriedly explained: "It's not old phlegm and pickled vegetables, it's the taste of tap water; we don't have purified water at home…"
Her mother's face darkened immediately:
"You useless thing! Can't get supplies, and you can't even make instant noodles taste good! What if my precious son gets starved?!"
"Xiao Tian, dear! How can you not eat? Just make do with a little today, and tomorrow your sister will prepare something delicious for you!"
Shen Lingtian was coaxed by his mother and reluctantly ate a few more bites of noodles.
In the end, he really couldn't eat anymore and stubbornly refused to eat.
After all, the consumption of supplies at home was prioritized for him.
So he had never gone hungry these past few days and didn't know the value of this bowl of noodles.
Her mother took the leftovers from Shen Lingtian and, holding back her disgust, ate a few bites.
In the end, only a bit of noodle soup was left, which she handed to Shen Chuchu.
As Shen Chuchu drank the foul-smelling noodle soup, she couldn't help but shed tears.
The more difficult her life became, the more uncontrollably she thought of the days when Lin Lang pampered her in his hands! And the exquisite food photos Lin Lang had sent her a few days ago! Such delicate food, yet she couldn't enjoy it! The key was that all those things should have belonged to her!
It's all that woman's fault for taking her place and seducing Lin Lang not to send her supplies! If Lin Lang could send some supplies, her life wouldn't be so hard now!
So she sent Lin Lang another WeChat message: [Lin Lang, hurry up and send supplies to my house! I can consider truly getting back together with you! We can also discuss the bride price again!]
But the chat record showed.
She had been persistently sending WeChat messages to Lin Lang every day.
But Lin Lang hadn't replied to her in a long time.
Just then.
There was a calm knock on the door.
This was unprecedented since the Red Mist descended! Could there be someone outside?
But now everyone was hiding at home; who would come visiting at this time? Shen Chuchu came back to her senses, and a glimmer of hope ignited in her heart: "Could it be Lin Lang?"
Her mother's eyes also lit up, happily exclaiming:
"Oh my! It must be Lin Lang bringing us supplies!"
