36: Chapter 36 did not disappear

Huo Sixian and his group had killed before; although their targets were extremists, their hands were still stained with blood.

Now, blinded by rage, Kong Ziyi grabbed a dagger and plunged it straight into the head of one of those 'Things'.

The moment Zi Yi stabbed it, a stream of black liquid burst from its forehead. After a brief shudder, the 'Thing' collapsed stiffly to the ground.

This scene left Huo Sixian, Meng Hangfei, and the others stunned.

While Ye Qingqing had been alone downstairs, they had engaged in actual combat with these 'Things', and no matter how much Huo Sixian and his group injured them...

These 'Things' acted as if they had no sense of pain; they simply wouldn't fall, and they didn't seem to feel a thing.

Yet now, the moment Kong Ziyi pulled the dagger out of its head, that 'Thing' actually fell over dead-still.

Seeing this, Huo Sixian also picked up a dagger and began taking them out one by one, stabbing directly into the brains of these 'Things'.

The moment the dagger was pulled from their brains, those 'Things' all collapsed to the ground.

Ye Qingqing looked over; one of them was even Zhao Degang, but the Zhao Degang of this moment was no longer 'Zhao Degang'.

Seeing the situation, Kong Ziyi slumped to the ground, clutching his head and sobbing, his voice filled with mourning for Li Wenzhuo.

"If I had only known..."

"If I had known these things just needed a headshot, then Wenzhuo wouldn't have..."

Hearing Kong Ziyi's words, Lu Huan and Meng Hangfei also showed expressions of grief and indignation, but neither of them spoke.

If they had discovered it sooner, perhaps Li Wenzhuo really could have survived...

"Alright, everyone go back and rest," Huo Sixian spoke up, interrupting their grief. Though his heart was heavy, he had to pretend to stay strong for now.

Because he couldn't afford to break down.

Huo Sixian looked at Ye Qingqing with a raspy voice: "As for supplies, I'll organize them when I get back. You didn't even have your bag when you came out, so you probably didn't get the food you found."

Ye Qingqing waved her hands dismissively, but then she had a second thought: if she refused now, wouldn't that be telling them she still had food and was just faking it?

So Ye Qingqing could only nod: "Actually, I'm not in a rush. If it comes down to it, I still have some dog food here I can make do with."

In truth, not a single item of the supplies Ye Qingqing had found at the Department Store was lost; they were all sitting clearly inside her space.

But when she was running for her life just now, she really hadn't carried anything. In this urgent situation, she could only claim she could get by on Ah Huang's dog food.

However, as soon as Ye Qingqing said this, Huo Sixian's expression immediately turned solemn.

"Do you know how to cook?"

Huo Sixian asked.

Ye Qingqing was a bit confused and didn't know how to respond as she looked at Huo Sixian.

"I smelled the aroma of cooking from your house before, so I'm asking. We still have some food here. If you can cook for us, we'll provide the food, and you'll be in charge of the cooking."

Hearing Huo Sixian's words, Ye Qingqing's brow twitched. Her range hood was on such a high setting, yet she was still discovered?

Ye Qingqing's heart wanted to refuse, but hearing Huo Sixian's next words, she was instantly tempted.

"You've seen these 'Things' outside. I can teach you combat. Lu Huan used to have a military dog, and he can also train Ah Huang for you."

It wasn't about the food for Ye Qingqing; it was primarily hearing about combat training and training Ah Huang that really tempted her.

While she knew some basic moves, compared to a real professional, she was still somewhat lacking.

Moreover, situations that didn't occur in her previous life were now appearing. Ye Qingqing believed that being with Huo Sixian's group was better than fighting alone.

Just considering that Huo Sixian hadn't abandoned her while they were running for their lives, a flicker of emotion had already been stirred in Ye Qingqing's heart.

She didn't consider herself someone easily swayed by emotions, but after a previous life where no one was good to her, in this life, someone actually wouldn't give up on her.

Ye Qingqing admitted that at the moment they were fleeing, a different kind of feeling had emerged in her heart.

"Okay," Ye Qingqing answered very readily. The other party had offered such enticing chips that it would be unreasonable for her not to accept.

"I still have some food here too. I won't eat yours for free; I'll be responsible for the cooking."

"Good. Rest today, and we'll officially start tomorrow."

Ye Qingqing naturally had no objection to Huo Sixian's suggestion. After all, so much had happened today, and everyone was exhausted.

When Ye Qingqing returned home and looked at Ah Huang, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, a sense of surviving a disaster washing over her.

She didn't even know what would have happened if there hadn't been a helicopter on the roof today...

Or if she had gone out alone according to her original plan, where would she be now?

If Ye Qingqing were trapped outside alone, what would happen to Ah Huang?

Thinking about it, Ye Qingqing fell asleep hugging Ah Huang. Though her body wasn't that tired, her mind had been through too much stimulation, so she slept very deeply.

In her dreams, Ye Qingqing seemed to see scenes from her previous life again—wailing and devastation everywhere. Everyone thought this natural disaster would pass quickly, but they never expected...

They waited time and time again, and each time was a disappointment. Just as one natural disaster seemed to have passed, a new one would arrive.

Early the next morning, Ye Qingqing was woken up by a roar. The moment she heard the roar of that 'Thing', her mind snapped awake. Ah Huang's eyes were also full of alertness, and he let out a low, threatening growl.

Ye Qingqing gently patted Ah Huang's back, thinking that in such a dangerous time, it would be great if Ah Huang could enter the space.

In the next instant, Ye Qingqing witnessed a miraculous sight just as the thought emerged.

Ah Huang instantly vanished from the spot, and immediately after, Ye Qingqing saw Ah Huang's figure in the clearing within the space.

Excitement flickered in Ye Qingqing's eyes, and she immediately entered the space as well.

Ye Qingqing discovered that the number '1' floating above the space had disappeared once Ah Huang entered.

Furthermore, this time when Ah Huang entered the space, the time within the space didn't rapidly deplete. Did this mean Ah Huang could freely enter and exit the space without consuming the space's time?

At this thought, Ye Qingqing flashed out of the space, and then she discovered that the time in the space had not disappeared!

This meant that Ah Huang entering the space would not consume the thirty minutes of time Ye Qingqing accumulated each day...
