333: Jiang Fei and Lu Yu fell asleep

“This wooden house was built for you and me by Su Liuyuan, Ling Zhaorui, and Chu Xia.”

Jiang Fei led Lu Yu inside for a tour, even showing him the small dark room in the kitchen.

Lu Yu didn't need to think to know it was Su Liuyuan's terrible idea.

Su Liuyuan had tricked him more than once or twice.

But the wooden house was indeed very well-built.

It was a private space belonging only to him and Fei Fei.

Thinking of something, the tips of Lu Yu's ears, hidden by his hair, gradually turned red.

“I'm going to shower and change. You can go wash in Su Liuyuan's wooden house next door.”

“Their wooden houses all have bathrooms.”

With that, Jiang Fei took clean clothes and went to the bathroom.

After washing off the dust from mining, Jiang Fei changed her clothes and dried her hair before coming out.

Lu Yu had already showered in Su Liuyuan's wooden house and changed into comfortable pajamas.

Seeing him standing at the bedroom door, staring blankly inside, Jiang Fei asked:

“What's wrong?”

Looking at the large double bed, Lu Yu slightly pursed his lips:

“Are we sleeping in the same bed tonight?”

Living together... wouldn't that be a bit too fast?

Although he had always lived with Fei Fei, which was no different from cohabitation.

But they had never slept in the same bed.

What if Fei Fei thought he was frivolous, like a hooligan...

Understanding Lu Yu's meaning, Jiang Fei didn't think there was a problem.

They were just sleeping in the same bed, not doing anything else.

Before, when they were on missions and traveling by car, she had even slept leaning on Lu Yu's shoulder.

Besides, they were a couple.

They would be together for decades to come, and some things were bound to happen sooner or later.

Thinking this, Jiang Fei also spoke her thoughts aloud, making Lu Yu's ears turn crimson.

But he had to admit, Jiang Fei had a point.

He was just too nervous.

It was his first time in a relationship, and he lacked experience.

He needed to go back and talk to Su Liuyuan.

Lu Yu thought, then walked into the bedroom and lay down on the bed.

Jiang Fei also went in and lay down, placing the walkie-talkie by her pillow.

After two days of exhaustion, plus being used to Lu Yu's presence, Jiang Fei quickly fell into a deep sleep.

However, Lu Yu had no sleepiness at all.

His hands crossed on his body, he lay with open eyes, staring at the ceiling.

The fresh scent of shower gel lingered around his nose, and he could even hear the heartbeat of the person beside him.

With the person he liked next to him, who could resist overthinking?

Lu Yu felt a little hot, so he tiptoed out of bed and brought a case of drinking water to place on the nightstand.

Whenever his mind wandered, he would drink some water to calm down.

He didn't know how much time had passed.

Jiang Fei, who had woken up naturally, yawned and checked her watch.

6:20.

It was already a new day.

She turned her head and met a pair of deep, dark eyes.

Lu Yu lay quietly, a faint weariness in his brows.

On the nightstand beside him, there were six or seven empty bottles.

“Why did you drink so much water last night?”

“My throat was dry, I might be catching a cold. I'll take a special medicine later.” Lu Yu guiltily changed the subject:

“I'll go make breakfast.”

Jiang Fei didn't think much of it, assuming Lu Yu hadn't slept well simply because he wasn't feeling well.

She got out of bed, washed up in the bathroom, and then exited the Supermarket.

The acid rain was still falling, lasting much longer than in her previous life.

The sky was gloomy, and the roaring rain seemed to want to swallow the city.

The armored vehicle parked outside was corroded beyond recognition, completely scrapped.

Today should have been summer, but the temperature had not risen.

It was around 20℃.

No plants were growing in the ground either.

The extreme changes of the four seasons might be over.

Thinking this, Jiang Fei returned to the Supermarket and went to the kitchen to help.

As expected, Lu Yu was cooking instant noodles again.

After a quick breakfast, the two went to the Supermarket warehouse to get feed for the poultry and livestock.

They also cleaned the manure from both the ordinary and mutated breeding areas.

By noon, Jiang Fei's walkie-talkie buzzed.

Ling Zhaorui: “Sister Jiang, the acid rain has stopped, but we don't know if it will start again.”

Jiang Fei decided to take a gamble: “Help me open the main gate. Lu Yu and I are heading back now.”

With that, Jiang Fei went to the warehouse and retrieved two sets of protective gear developed by the Underground City.

There were hooded and masked full-body protective suits, protective boots, protective gloves, and oxygen tanks.

These protective gears were secretly taken by her and Lu Yu the first time they went to the Underground City.

They were said to be for laboratory use, capable of protecting against even highly concentrated sulfuric acid.

The masks on the protective suits had a filter box that could filter gases, liquids, all harmful substances, and even block dust as small as 1 micrometer.

She gave Lu Yu a set of protective gear.

After they were both fully geared up, they exited the Supermarket.

“I'll go out and test first. You stand still and don't move.”

Lu Yu stepped out of the cave entrance.

His protective boots stepped into the residual acid rainwater on the ground, showing no signs of corrosion.

Confirming that the protective gear could protect against acid rain, Jiang Fei went out, retrieved a new armored vehicle, and got into the driver's seat.

She drove towards Mos City at the fastest possible speed.

The guards who were originally stationed at the entrance and exit were now lying on the ground, lifeless.

Their clothes and bodies were corroded beyond recognition by the acid rain.

Fallen corpses were visible everywhere.

The skin and flesh on the corpses were uneven, some white, some red, as if they had been passed through hot oil, their surfaces coated with a layer of glistening yellow liquid.

She didn't know if it was tissue fluid or something else.

Most of the buildings along the road were corroded, pitted, and mottled.

Some houses, built with wood and iron sheets, could not withstand the erosion of the acid rain and were severely damaged.

And the people living inside, some died, some were injured.

Even with the car windows closed, Jiang Fei could hear intermittent cries from outside.

They were survivors who had luckily lived after being exposed to the acid rain.

They cried out in pain from their bodies, and cursed the heavens in their respective national languages.

Jiang Fei understood a few sentences.

“Bastard, if you have the guts, kill me! Why do you keep sending down disasters to torment me?!”

“For three years, I prayed devoutly every day, hoping the apocalypse would end, but it was all useless! Damn you!”

“To hell with God!”

Plop—!

A few raindrops suddenly fell.

As if retaliating against those who cursed it, the rain intensified at a visible rate.

The second acid rain came.

“Damn it, I'll fight you to the death!”

“Come on! Kill me! Ah ah ah!!!”

Someone, emotionally broken, rushed into the rain, letting the acid rain corrode their flesh, leaving behind their last mournful screams in this world.

Soon, only the pattering sound of rain remained outside.

Noticing the sizzling sound of corrosion coming from the car roof, Jiang Fei floored the accelerator.

She drove to her doorstep just before the tires were corroded and rendered useless.

The car was beyond saving, so Jiang Fei didn't put it into the Supermarket warehouse. She and Lu Yu got out and walked into the yard.

Xiao Chuxia, who was waiting in the living room, saw the two return and quickly brought over a bucket of water.

“Miss, you and Brother Lu stand at the door, I'll rinse off the acid rain on you.”

Su Liuyuan and Ling Zhaorui also came to help, carrying buckets of water.

After rinsing the protective suits with water, Jiang Fei and Lu Yu carefully took off their protective gear.

Putting the protective gear into the Supermarket warehouse, Jiang Fei finally relaxed.

But she didn't see the two little ones.

“Where are Dahuang and Xiao Hei?”
