Arriving at the location, Lin Qinghe and You Rong got out of the car. As Jiang Wanwan had said, the entire warehouse was surrounded by electric fencing.
Jiang Wanwan said, "The main switch for the electric fence should be in the guardhouse. It should still be functional."
Lin Qinghe gave You Rong a look. You Rong walked to the guardhouse and turned on the main switch. The electric fence was immediately powered on, and just as Jiang Wanwan had said, it was not damaged at all. Sudanan novel website.
The sky was gradually darkening. Jiang Wanwan thought for a moment and said, "Let's go inside and take a look first. It's not suitable to go out again today."
Lin Qinghe had an expression of anticipation.
Jiang Wanwan clearly intended to stay here as well. The moment Jiang Wanwan mentioned the existence of this place, Lin Qinghe had already guessed it.
She didn't want Jiang Wanwan and You Rong to have too much contact. She couldn't help it, she couldn't just leave them there to be eaten alive by zombies.
Lin Qinghe shook her head.
Forget it... Seeing You Rong's reaction, he didn't seem to have any feelings for Jiang Wanwan, and Jiang Wanwan might not like You Rong. She would be cautious, and if she sensed anything amiss between them, she would act immediately.
Lin Qinghe said, "You Rong, let's go in."
You Rong nodded and walked alongside her into the large warehouse.
Jiang Xun and Jiang Wanwan exchanged a look, shouldered their backpacks, and followed them in.
The warehouse was huge, at least a thousand square meters. Because it had once been a shelter for the public, there were still a few tents left, with quilts and other items inside. They could make do with tidying them up.
Lin Qinghe and You Rong casually picked a tent and put down their belongings. Jiang Xun and Jiang Wanwan sat down a little further away from them.
After a day of rushing without eating anything, Lin Qinghe's stomach growled as soon as she sat down. She covered her stomach and subconsciously turned to look at You Rong. You Rong was wearing contact lenses, so his condition was indiscernible.
Lin Qinghe leaned in and whispered, "You Rong, are you hungry? How about... you go to the car and eat something?"
With Jiang Wanwan and her brother in the warehouse, it was inconvenient for You Rong to eat inside.
You Rong's eyes flickered slightly. He took his backpack and handed it to Lin Qinghe. "...No need, you eat."
"Really? Aren't you hungry?"
"I'm alright."
You Rong wasn't not hungry; it was just that with others present, his aversion to eating was even more pronounced, so he was forcibly enduring it.
He didn't know why, but only when Lin Qinghe was around could he eat without worry. Why couldn't he when others were present?
It seemed... he trusted Lin Qinghe more?
Lin Qinghe didn't understand. Seeing You Rong's insistence, she could only let him be, reminding him not to endure if he felt like eating, and to tell her. She would accompany him to the car and then find a pack of compressed biscuits and half a bottle of water to fill her stomach.
Just as Lin Qinghe finished eating and was about to tidy up the tent, Jiang Wanwan walked over, holding some food. "Um... this is for you. Take it. I saw that your food didn't seem to be enough..."
Not enough food?
Lin Qinghe was taken aback. Where did Jiang Wanwan see that her food wasn't enough?
Her current food supply was indeed not as much as before, but it hadn't reached the point of being insufficient. Could it be... she saw You Rong not eating, so she thought their food was insufficient?
Just as Lin Qinghe was about to explain, You Rong suddenly reached out and took Jiang Wanwan's food, saying in a low voice, "Okay."
Seeing You Rong accept the food, Jiang Wanwan smiled slightly and said nothing more, returning as if in good spirits.
Lin Qinghe: "???"
What was going on?!
You Rong didn't eat this food at all. Why did he accept the food Jiang Wanwan gave him? Could it be that he had developed feelings for Jiang Wanwan?
Lin Qinghe was anxious and was about to ask You Rong for clarification when You Rong shoved the food into her hands and said expressionlessly, "Take it."
Lin Qinghe was stunned. "You... for me?"
You Rong said, "Jiang City looks like it's been thoroughly scavenged. It's not like the previous places. Food is scarce here. Don't refuse extra food. It's good to be prepared."
He knew Lin Qinghe had a certain amount of food stored, but food would eventually run out. Having more was always beneficial.
Lin Qinghe's eyes lit up immediately. She leaned closer and stared at You Rong. "You Rong, are you worried about me? Worried that I'll run out of food, right?"
You Rong turned his face away, his expression unchanging. "...No."
The next second, Lin Qinghe heard the system prompt: "Progress increased by 2%, total progress is 27%."
Lin Qinghe's eyes curved into a smile.
Tsk tsk tsk... The tsundere You Rong is so cute!
Under Lin Qinghe's gaze, You Rong subtly pursed his lips and got up to walk to the adjacent tent. Lin Qinghe quickly grabbed his arm and asked, "Where are you going? Didn't we agree to rest here?"
You Rong: "I'm going to rest in the adjacent tent."
"You want to sleep separately from me?!"
You Rong remained silent, looking at Lin Qinghe inexplicably, as if to say, isn't it natural for us to sleep separately now that the warehouse is safe?
Lin Qinghe clearly understood You Rong's meaning and shamelessly said, "No! We're still sleeping together. I... I don't trust Jiang Wanwan and them. I'm afraid they'll discover your abnormality. You must sleep with me!"
You Rong frowned slightly. "They're fine."
"Then... just consider me scared. I'm afraid to sleep alone at night. Can you stay with me?"
Lin Qinghe was desperate. She was slapping her own face after her serious assertion that they needed to sleep together for safety.
She didn't care anymore. For the sake of the progress bar, she'd accept being embarrassed. Besides, Jiang Wanwan was nearby. If she didn't keep a close eye on You Rong, what if something unexpected happened?
You Rong looked at Lin Qinghe. After a few seconds, he said with a hint of helplessness, "I understand."
You Rong entered the tent Lin Qinghe had prepared and lay down. Lin Qinghe immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking of her righteous words from before, her cheeks couldn't help but blush.
She wondered what You Rong was thinking of her now... He must think she did it on purpose before.
Lin Qinghe might have been guilty of a guilty conscience. Before, she had slept with You Rong without feeling any discomfort. Today, however, she was much more proper, lying down with her body stiff and maintaining a certain distance from You Rong, not daring to touch him at all.
On the other side.
Jiang Xun looked at Lin Qinghe and You Rong, who were sharing a tent, and whispered, "Sister, are they a couple? They're sleeping together, and that guy seems to really like that girl. He doesn't eat, he gave all the food to her..."
Jiang Wanwan hit Jiang Xun on the head and said angrily, "Mind your own business. Our priority now is to stay in Jiang City and find out about Dad's whereabouts."
"But... how are we going to find out about Dad's whereabouts now? The car is broken..."
Jiang Wanwan was silent for a moment. "They'll definitely go out to look for food. When they go out, we'll find a way to get them to take us with them and see if we can find any clues about Dad."
"Will they really agree?"
"Yes, they are good people. They are all hard-hearted but soft-hearted. They could have abandoned us completely before, but they didn't, did they?"
Jiang Xun thought about it and replied, "That's true..."
