Chapter 8: She Looks So Small, Come Save Me! (Please continue reading)

Lu Zheng had Zheng Jingyi lean on the sofa, then took off her shoes and socks, revealing her swollen foot.

Her foot wasn't particularly smooth, but it was very white and had no odor.

"You'll need to rest this for a couple of days."

Lu Zheng said, taking a first-aid kit from a nearby cabinet, pulling out Yunnan Baiyao aerosol spray, and applying it to her foot to reduce swelling and pain.

He then elevated her injured foot.

He also gave her an anti-inflammatory painkiller to drink.

After all these actions, Zheng Jingyi looked dazed.

She had actually imagined what life would be like after arriving here.

There was a high probability that she would be oppressed and beaten like a slave, as she was now just a parasite dependent on a man.

She had no choice; to survive, she could only endure.

She had also prepared herself to be dragged into the bedroom the moment she entered.

But she hadn't expected that, although Lu Zheng's initial actions were a bit rough, he later helped her with her treatment very carefully.

He looked very serious.

It was as if he was treating a family member.

This made Zheng Jingyi feel a little disoriented.

"You... aren't you going to make me your woman? Why aren't you making a move?"

Zheng Jingyi couldn't help but ask.

Lu Zheng chuckled softly.

"While I want to shelter many women, I wouldn't lay a hand on an injured person. We can talk about it once you've recovered."

This was the truth.

It definitely wasn't because he had just fought a battle and needed time to replenish his "ammunition."

Lu Zheng brought the half-eaten roast duck that he and Yu Zihan had left over to Zheng Jingyi, placing a small table in front of her.

He also poured her a glass of water.

"Eat something. Without energy, it's not easy to recover."

"Once you're better, I'll make you one of us."

Looking at the roast duck and water in front of her, and thinking about Lu Zheng's attitude towards her just now, Zheng Jingyi was absolutely certain.

She had made the right gamble this time!

"Thank you."

She said, then began to eat heartily.

Lu Zheng went to the master bedroom, had Yu Zihan put on a nightgown, and then led her out.

"From now on, everyone will live together. Get to know each other."

Yu Zihan and Zheng Jingyi exchanged glances, immediately understanding that their statuses were the same.

"Hello, my name is Yu Zihan. I'm a first-year graduate student in Chinese Language and Literature. Sister, you look so small!"

Zheng Jingyi's figure was petite, only 1.62 meters tall, with a baby face and a well-proportioned, not prominent, physique.

Compared to Yu Zihan's 1.7-meter height and ample figure, she was indeed a bit smaller.

Zheng Jingyi politely said:

"Hello, Sister. My name is Zheng Jingyi. I'm a first-year computer science student. Please take care of me in the future, Sister. I'll be obedient."

She had grown up eating from many households, and though young, she was perceptive about social dynamics.

She proactively placed herself in a vulnerable position, both to show weakness to Yu Zihan and to gain more sympathy from Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng was amused by this scene.

Indeed, the struggles between women were the most interesting.

However, with the addition of Zheng Jingyi, the already limited water resources were now divided into three, which could last at most thirteen days.

Within thirteen days, some fresh water would need to be replenished.

Yu Zihan sat next to Zheng Jingyi, and the two women began to chat, while Lu Zheng picked up his phone to check messages.

These days, there was very little new information online.

Most people no longer had electricity.

Some network facilities were also damaged, but there were still sporadic pieces of information to be seen.

For example, this one.

In the video, a black cat as large as a hound, with one swipe of its paw, sliced a Double-Tailed Scorpion into several pieces.

Its speed was so fast that it left afterimages.

And its claws, just now, glowed with a faint light, clearly a manifestation of an ability.

Animals could also gain abilities.

This was very important information.

The threats humanity faced were not just the insects within the Black Mist, but also mutated beasts.

The latter were even more terrifying.

Because insects wouldn't leave the Black Mist's range, but mutated beasts could enter buildings to forage!

This made Lu Zheng uncomfortable.

He currently lacked combat power.

If he were targeted, it would be over.

If the enemy hoarded guns and I hoarded food, wouldn't I become someone else's pantry?!

Now, he could only be as careful as possible to avoid being targeted.

Lu Zheng also saw many videos of wealthy people online, offering millions or even tens of millions, bringing out boxes of gold and jewelry, just to exchange for some food and gain shelter.

The collapse of order made some wealthy and important figures feel like the sky was falling.

But Lu Zheng felt that dawn had broken.

A brand new world, with the system in hand, life suddenly became fun.

Yu Zihan, who was happily chatting with Zheng Jingyi, suddenly felt her charged phone vibrate.

She casually picked it up and saw it was a voice message from Song Yubi.

"Wuwu... Zihan, where are you? Come save me quickly! Chen Hongfei has gone mad; he's trying to force his way in!"

Time rewound to fifteen minutes earlier.

After Yu Zihan left, Song Yubi felt a sudden panic. She hung a chain lock on the door, making it difficult for outsiders to open it easily.

Soon after she finished this, a knock came at the door.

Song Yubi didn't dare to breathe, tiptoeing to the door and looking through the peephole to see a young man carrying something.

The young man was quite tall, but his face wasn't very handsome, and his clothes were very simple.

This person was Chen Hongfei, whom she was waiting for.

Chen Hongfei was Song Yubi's high school classmate. Since high school, Song Yubi often had him treat her to meals.

The two went to the same university and then to the same university for graduate studies.

It could be said that this person was a long-term meal ticket for Song Yubi.

It was just that Chen Hongfei's dorm was not close to hers, so she initially hadn't thought of having him come over to deliver supplies.

Later, when she had no other choice, she cast a wide net, and Chen Hongfei happened to be among those chosen.

She hadn't expected him to actually rush over.

Chen Hongfei was covered in dust and bloodstains, looking dirty, clearly indicating that his journey had not been smooth.

But Song Yubi didn't care about any of that.

She only cared about the bulging backpack Chen Hongfei was carrying, which seemed to contain a lot of things.

"Yubi, open the door quickly, it's me. I've come to bring you supplies."

Saying this, he opened his backpack and showed its contents through the peephole.

"I have instant noodles, chocolate, mineral water, and a fully charged power bank!"

Song Yubi was incredibly excited.

Food, water, and even electricity.

These things made her eager to open the door, but she still kept the security door chained, not opening it completely.

Yu Zihan wasn't there, and she was alone, so her self-preservation instincts were still very strong.

Through the crack in the door, she saw Chen Hongfei with a simple, honest smile, and then immediately directed her gaze to the backpack in his hand.

"Thank you, you're a good person."

"After all these years and so many people, only you have always been good to me!"

"Give me the things!"

"You don't need to come in. It wouldn't be good for my reputation if a man and a woman were alone in a room."

"I know you'll definitely agree, you're the best!"
