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

Chapter 865 Extreme Apocalypse 29

"What?" Ruan Chutong deliberately made him say it.

"Ah Jing, Tong Tong, we want to go ahead and take a look. Do you want to come?"

Seeing that the two were far behind them, Li Dayuan shouted.

Li Yanjing responded, then said to Ruan Chutong, "You kissed me this morning, don't you have to give me an explanation?"

Upon hearing this, Ruan Chutong raised an eyebrow and smiled: "Didn't I say? It's for the trip."

"I should be able to refuse this reason."

Why didn't you say so this morning?

Li Yanjing said matter-of-factly, "It's too late."

"So what do you want? To kiss me back?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Li Xinyan running towards the two of them.

"Sister Tong, how come you disappeared in the blink of an eye? What were you talking about?"

"Nothing much. Did you see anything that interests you?"

“There is one, I’ll take you to see it.”

As she spoke, Li Xinyan pulled Ruan Chutong and ran forward.

Li Yanjing watched the two walk away, followed them for a while, and then regretfully followed after them.

Now is not the time to speak, I keep getting interrupted. I'll wait for another opportunity to speak privately.

After the tide receded and the ice thawed, the shopping mall was filled with mud.

Ruan Chutong walked through the former supermarket on the basement level, holding a bag in her hand, picking out food that was still edible.

As I walked, different kinds of insects kept crawling across the ground.

There are more bugs these days than before; you can see them almost everywhere you go.

It seems an insect infestation is imminent.

She lost patience after a while, put the bag into her spatial storage, and then waved her hand to randomly collect a large amount of items at random intervals.

Doing it this way won't make it look like it's been cleaned up properly.

After thinking for a moment, she went back to the place where she used to keep the floral water and mosquito repellent and put all the bottles and jars away.

Once they had collected enough, they clapped their hands and left.

After going up the stairs to the second floor and avoiding the others, they found Li Yanjing collecting clothes.

"Brother Li, do you need any help here?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yanjing put the sack aside and shook her head: "We don't need too many of these clothes. Just put them in two bags and take them back to exchange for the base. Have you packed them all?"

Clothes are much less valuable than food.

"Hmm, I'm too lazy to choose, so I just put them all away and will take them out later."

"Alright, what do you want to do?"

He knew that she must have some plan for coming to see him at this time.

"I'll keep these things for now. Let's go outside and see if any other shops have window screens or something. There are more and more bugs and mosquitoes these days, so let's get some more window screens to take back."

Li Yanjing nodded, and after Ruan Chutong put the clothes he had packed into her spatial storage, the two left the mall directly.

By the end of the day, they had walked the entire street, collecting anything they could find that was usable.

As night fell, the two found a reasonably suitable place to start a fire and spend the night.

This time, only the two of them were among their own people who came out to collect supplies.

In the beginning, Li Yanjing and Gao Mingcheng went out every day, but later, Li Xinyan and Ruan Chutong had nothing to do at home.

After staying at home for half a month, the two still joined the team collecting supplies.

However, aside from initially teaming up with other teams to collect supplies, the four of them...

After that, they all followed the same route as the main group, but acted independently.

The four of them split into two groups of two and drove themselves.

The two groups alternate, so each group can go out for a few days and then go back to rest for a few days.

Li Yanjing and Ruan Chutong were in the same team. The two of them had just come out with the group when they left the main group and came to a certain place.

No one cares what they collect or where they collect it.

The two did not stray too far from the main group, but drove to a more distant location, choosing a small county town to collect supplies.

"Brother Li, what would you like to eat tonight?"

"Anything is fine with me, I'll eat whatever you eat."

"Let's have braised beef noodles then. We can just eat whatever we want tonight."

"it is good."

Ruan Chutong took out a pot, a pack of noodles, and a box of braised beef, all of which had been prepared beforehand.

After thinking for a moment, she took a handful of washed greens.

Li Yanjing set up the pot simply, then poured water into it, preparing to boil water and cook the noodles.

Twenty minutes later——

Ruan Chutong was eating a bowl of fragrant braised beef noodles.

The place they found was a house near the road.

At this moment, the two were cooking in the spacious third-floor living room.

Although the house was flooded, you can't be too picky when you're traveling, so it's okay for now.

Ruan Chutong glanced outside: "I can hear the sound of cars nearby. It seems there are still people collecting supplies this late."

Li Yanjing nodded: "They are not as efficient as us in collecting supplies, so it is only right that they are more diligent."

If there were no space, he thought he would do the same as everyone else and not waste his time.

After eating, Ruan Chutong stood by the window and looked out at the dilapidated and dark city.

It's not as hot at night as during the day. Standing by the window, there's a slight breeze blowing in, which is still a bit warm, but it's still more comfortable.

Li Yanjing walked over: "Tongtong, do you want to take a shower?"

He knew her habits; she would usually take a bath whenever she had the chance.

"Yes, I need to wash it."

She worked up a sweat collecting supplies all day, so she's not used to going straight to sleep.

With two people here, she couldn't go into the space to wash, so she could only wash in the bathroom.

There is a bathroom on the third floor of this house, and you don't even need to heat the hot water; you can just take it out and use it directly.

Li Yanjing escorted her there, reminding her, "I'll wait for you in the living room. Call me if you need anything."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Chutong habitually teased, "What's up? Brother Li, would you like to help me take a bath?"

Hearing this, Li Yanjing felt somewhat helpless; he meant to call him if there was any danger.

However, before this, he was basically leaving early and returning late every day, and had no chance to tell her about what happened last time.

This time, the two of them happened to be out alone, which was a good opportunity to talk.

Thinking of this, a slight smile appeared on his lips: "If Tongtong needs anything, I can help her."

Amusement flashed in Ruan Chutong's eyes, and she was about to continue teasing him verbally.

Li Yanjing then asked, "But in what capacity should I help you? As your older brother? Or in some other capacity?"

Thinking back to the last time, she was made to take responsibility because she kissed him.

Ruan Chutong quickly changed the subject: "Well, let's talk about this after I come out."

After saying that, she smiled and closed the bathroom door.

The bathroom was pitch black, with only one candle lit.

Ruan Chutong took out a bottle of shower gel and a large bathtub filled with water, and sat down in it to take a bath.

Hearing the sound of water inside, Li Yanjing smiled and walked a little further away, standing in front of the living room window.

Looking into the distance, he took out a ring from his pocket. It was the one he found that suited his taste when he went out to collect supplies some time ago.
