298: If we have to die, we should all die together!

Jiang Fei looked in the direction Xiao Chuxia pointed.

Not far away, a broken wooden board floated on the sea.

The words on it were clearly visible—"Ping An Xiao."

It was the sign of a small shopping mall, now only half remaining.

Last time, the Supermarket's sign was destroyed in the great earthquake; this time, it was a massive tsunami.

Heaven truly didn't want her to be a boss.

For the first time, a wry smile appeared on Jiang Fei's face.

Noticing Jiang Fei's change in mood, Xiao Chuxia leaned on her shoulder to comfort her: "Out with the old, in with the new. We can open an even bigger store later."

"Mm." Jiang Fei adjusted her mood and continued to search for Su Liuyuan and the others.

Whenever she encountered survivors on the sea, she would ask them for news about Kyoto Base.

In return, Jiang Fei would throw down a small bag of supplies.

Inside, there was a bottle of drinking water, two packs of compressed biscuits, and an energy bar.

Some people cried with gratitude upon receiving the supplies.

More people, however, set their sights on the yacht.

Floating on the sea every day, scorched by the sun, eating garbage—they didn't want to live this life anymore.

Most importantly, there was no fresh water.

The high salt concentration in seawater, along with various bacteria and elements, would actually lead to thirst and dehydration if consumed.

No one wanted to die.

They wanted to seize the yacht!

These people swam over with all their might, trying to climb onto the yacht.

But as soon as they got close to the stern, they were swept by the current into the bottom propeller.

Like being thrown into a blender, their bodies were instantly minced into a bloody mess.

"Ah—!"

Accompanied by piercing screams, a vivid red color gradually spread across the water's surface.

With the previous lesson learned, the remaining survivors abandoned their plan to go up from the stern and instead swam towards the lowest deck of the yacht.

Before they could get close, they were shot dead by Jiang Fei and Xiao Chuxia.

Jiang Fei released Big Bro, Second Bro, Third Bro, Fourth Bro, and Big Yellow, letting the little ones patrol each level to prevent any stragglers from climbing up.

Mutated animals were not only intelligent but also incredibly strong in combat.

If any managed to climb onto the railing, Big Bro, Second Bro, and Third Bro would fly up and peck at the survivors' eyes.

They also worked together.

Big Bro would peck the right eye, Second Bro the left eye, and Third Bro the hand gripping the railing.

Fourth Bro, on the other hand, would bite whatever it saw.

Geese actually don't have teeth, but the outer edges of their upper and lower beaks are pointed and serrated, so a bite is extremely painful.

Especially since Fourth Bro would bite while twisting in circles, intensifying the survivor's pain.

The pain made people directly wail and release the railing, falling into the sea.

Big Yellow, needless to say, would tear the opponent's skin and flesh with one paw.

The chickens, geese, and Big Yellow were all very agile, making it impossible for these people to catch them.

With fierce animals and firearms on the yacht, the survivors became obedient and dared not lay a hand on Jiang Fei and the others again.

They just watched from afar with resentment, their eyes filled with malice.

A storm needs to come quickly and destroy these despicable people's yacht!

Why should they be soaking in the sea while those three can drive a luxury yacht?!

It's unfair!

If we're going to die, we should all die together!

However, the sea was calm.

At nine in the evening, the sun was still high, but the temperature had dropped by more than ten degrees.

Jiang Fei glanced at the thermometer, which showed 5℃.

Big Yellow had adapted to the extreme temperatures, but the chickens and geese had not.

To prevent the chickens and geese from getting sick, Jiang Fei took them back to the Supermarket.

After exiting the Supermarket, she tidied up Room 3, put Big Yellow's supplies in it, and let him stay there.

Since she couldn't sleep, Jiang Fei and Xiao Chuxia put on thick coats and took their guns to the deck to stand guard.

Lu Yu came down, his brows furrowed, a rare sight: "I have good news and bad news."

"The good news is, we've reached Kyoto Base."

"The bad news is, Kyoto Base has been submerged by seawater."

"If my coordinates are correct, our current location is where the base's central building once stood."

Jiang Fei and Xiao Chuxia froze, looking out at the vast sea.

Their home was gone.

Family and friends were also missing.

Xiao Chuxia asked in confusion: "Then where should we go now?"

Jiang Fei shook her head, indicating she didn't know.

"Let's just drift with the current, and see where we end up."

Having lost their goal, Lu Yu returned to the cockpit and switched to autopilot.

From time to time, Jiang Fei would throw life jackets, lifebuoys, and rubber dinghies into the sea, along with sealed bags of drinking water and food.

She hoped Su Liuyuan, Ling Zhaorui, her uncle, and the others could find them and survive.

Xiao Chuxia, on the other hand, no longer dared to think about her parents and friends' current situation. She tried hard to cheer up, praying in her heart—

They would all be safe and sound.

Perhaps because of the new natural disaster, the temperature no longer fluctuated wildly.

It was around 28℃ during the day and 20℃ at night, a difference of less than 10℃.

The only constant was the 24-hour intense ultraviolet radiation.

Whenever Jiang Fei and the other two went on deck, they had to wear sun-protective clothing and goggles.

Otherwise, prolonged exposure to UV rays would cause erythema on the skin and damage to the eyes.

Every day after waking up, Jiang Fei would also check the radiation level of the seawater.

Fortunately, the radiation level had always been within a safe range.

This day.

It was Lu Yu's turn to stand guard.

Jiang Fei brought two bottles of beer to the deck to accompany him.

The cool sea breeze slightly dispelled the accumulated irritation in Jiang Fei's heart.

She looked into the distance.

The sunlight shimmered on the surface of the sea.

What should have been a beautiful scene was made eerily chilling by the floating corpses.

Seeing one of the corpses, a child of four or five years old, even the usually indifferent Jiang Fei felt a stir in her heart.

She raised her hand, took a sip of wine, and said:

"I've thought about whether to rescue the survivors at sea."

"The yacht has limited space, and there aren't enough Supermarket membership cards. I can't save them all, and it's impossible to save them, otherwise there will be endless trouble."

Jiang Fei's voice was very soft.

It was as if she was telling Lu Yu about her recent worries, and also as if she was telling herself not to be overly sympathetic.

Understanding Jiang Fei's pressure, Lu Yu reached out to pull her into his embrace.

But just as he was about to touch her, he changed it to gently stroking her head.

"Don't feel burdened."

"The apocalypse doesn't allow us to have excessive sympathy."

"Who knows if the one we save will be a human or a wolf? We only have one life, and we can't afford to gamble."

"You also don't need to worry about Su Liuyuan and the others."

"With so many survivors still alive, they will be fine too."

Lu Yu comforted Jiang Fei, and casually tucked the stray strands of hair from her cheek behind her ear.

His slightly lowered eyes, shimmering with a gentle light, held a tenderness that Jiang Fei couldn't quite understand.

Her heart inexplicably quickened with his actions.

"Woof woof..."

Suddenly, a faint dog bark echoed from afar.

Jiang Fei sprang to her feet.

When she saw a large black dog standing in a wooden cabinet, Jiang Fei excitedly grabbed Lu Yu: "It's Little Black!"

Her baby!

Lu Yu quickly ran up to the top-level cockpit, controlling the yacht to approach.

Jiang Fei immediately ran to the lowest deck, ready to receive Little Black.

Suddenly, she discovered there was another person in the wardrobe.
