Chapter 60 I want to come too?

Zhou Yan reached out and scooped Su Yanqiu up by the waist while she was stretching.

Su Yanqiu let out a startled cry, quickly wrapping her arms around Zhou Yan's neck, and shot him a glance full of charm.

"What are you doing?"

"Mmm!"

Seeing the woman in his arms with her typically cold expression but hearing her ask him in such an unusually soft and sweet tone, the fire in his heart became impossible to suppress...

...A long while later...

Zhou Yan was called away by Li Meng over the walkie-talkie, saying that no fish had been caught near Building 16 for over an hour...

After Zhou Yan left, Su Yanqiu slowly opened her eyes, her delicate, boneless-looking hand gently stroking her sister's long hair...

She didn't dare move a muscle; the soreness in her waist left her feeling a bit dazed.

Yan Yue sensed her sister's movement and began wriggling around under the covers.

The sisters remained silent, both blushing...

Su Yanqiu just felt like she must have gone mad... Just now, she actually...

Hearing her sister's stomach growl, the elder sister had no choice but to get up; for so many years, she had always been the one taking care of her sister.

The two sisters struggled for a long time but simply couldn't get up.

After resting on the bed for quite a while, the two of them ended up continuously gasping in pain...

"Sister... isn't it said... that there's no such thing as a field that can be plowed to ruin in this world?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" The sister gave her younger sister's bottom a firm pat and retorted crossly.

Fragments of torn underwear were scattered all over the bedroom floor and around the bed. It took Su Yanqiu a long while to recover before she started trying to get up and tidy the bedroom.

...Zhou Yan had stored some daily supplies in the kitchen, including rice, canned goods, and some pork knuckle rice he had opened from his system.

In the corner, several boxes of compressed biscuits in various flavors were stacked up. It was clear the family had enough rich food in their stomachs now, as no one bothered to eat those compressed biscuits...

She used an alcohol stove to cook some rice and tossed in canned vegetables, creating a pot of vegetable porridge.

She also sliced two cans of beef tongue and placed them on top of the porridge to heat them up with the steam.

In fact, when Zhou Yan wasn't home, they usually didn't eat too luxuriously.

Only when Zhou Yan was home would they eat pork knuckle rice or fresh vegetables and meat.

Most of the time, it was just canned food...

People who have experienced hunger simply cannot bring themselves to waste food.

Su Yanyue also crawled up and went to the balcony to add some dog food to Xiaobai's bowl, though Xiaobai's quality of life had clearly declined.

Previously, Zhou Yan often slept while cuddling it; now, let alone sleeping with it, for the past few days, it hadn't even been able to enter the bedroom...

After finishing her chores, Su Yanyue tiptoed quietly to the door of Bai Qi's room...

She opened the door quietly.

In an instant, six eyes met...

Bai Qi: "..."

Zhang Yajing: "..."

Su Yanyue: "..."

Oh no! Neither of them was asleep at all!

Su Yanyue felt a bit shy and quickly averted her gaze...

"Do you... want to watch a movie together?"

Bai Qi: "Huh? Do I have to join in too?"

Su Yanyue: "You're just idling anyway... why not join us?"

Bai Qi blushed and lowered her head: "That... that wouldn't be very appropriate, would it..."

"Oh, come on! What's the big deal! Let's go!" Zhang Yajing eagerly pulled Bai Qi along.

Bai Qi's Mind Reading triggered on Zhang Yajing...

After understanding Zhang Yajing's thoughts, Bai Qi's little face turned as red as if it were about to drip blood...

But Su Yanyue had already returned to the master bedroom, and Zhang Yajing looked like she wouldn't take no for an answer, so Bai Qi had no choice but to lower her head and be dragged into the master bedroom, feeling shy and bashful.

...Bai Qi breathed a sigh of relief; so it really was just watching a movie!

Zhang Yajing felt very disappointed; so it really was just watching a movie!

The three girls huddled on the bed, holding a tablet and watching a comedy.

...By the time Zhou Yan arrived at the 6th Floor, most of the residents had already "settled their bills" and left with their food.

Only Li Meng and Wang Zeyu remained, looking at the water's surface with worried expressions, remaining silent.

"Big Brother!"

"Big Brother!"

Seeing Zhou Yan come down, the two young men hurriedly approached him.

"The fish around here are getting smarter and smarter! They almost just circle around the bait and won't get close to this building at all; we just can't reach them!" Li Meng scratched his head, out of ideas.

"How many fish do we have now?"

Zhou Yan walked over to the bathtub to take a look. Good grief, a whole group of people had been working all morning, and there were only about twenty or so fish in the bathtub!

Soon, one person was in charge of killing them, and two were in charge of throwing the fish out.

[ordinary blind box: 26]

Zhou Yan frowned slightly; this efficiency really didn't justify his investment!

It wasn't that he had set the price too high!

At this rate, let alone accumulating resources, he feared he wouldn't even be able to maintain his own team for much longer!

Li Meng, standing to the side, looked at Zhou Yan, hesitated for a moment, and pointed to Building 17 opposite: "Big Brother, you must have handled the older sister in Building 17, right?"

Zhou Yan was silent for a moment, then nodded.

Handled? He had even gotten her into bed...

"Then that's settled. We can't just keep our eyes fixed on this one window on the 6th Floor!"

Li Meng pointed to the vast expanse of water outside the window, "We can wait for the rain to stop and also build a Floating Bridge, focusing on other water areas. If we keep staring at one patch of water to fleece, the fish here just get too smart!"

The more Li Meng talked, the more he felt the plan was feasible, and he quickened his pace of speech: "And our Floating Bridge construction is much safer than theirs... We have guns!"

Zhou Yan's gaze involuntarily turned to the torrential rain outside the window. The rain was fierce...

Building 17 opposite was looming faintly in the heavy rain.

Zhuang Yan... The figure of that woman flashed through his mind...

A bolder plan, one that would kill two birds with one stone, instantly emerged!

"Your idea is very good!" Zhou Yan suddenly patted Li Meng on the shoulder, his tone full of praise.

"I have already handled the older sister in Building 17 opposite. Although she doesn't count as one of our own yet, at least we have a cooperative relationship. Once the rain stops, you all should take the residents of this building and build a Floating Bridge toward Building 17!"

"Yes! The Floating Bridge from Building 17 toward our side still has some foundation left; connecting it shouldn't be too much trouble!" Li Meng's eyes lit up.

"The people from Building 17 will move to our building then. Not everyone will come, only about twenty or so people. When settling them in, you must keep them separated! They cannot live mixed in with our residents in Building 16; that is what I promised her. Arrange them all on the lower floors..."

Wang Zeyu was a bit confused: "Big Brother... why is that? The more people we have, the faster we can work!"

"I know nothing about the character of the people in Building 17, and I don't even know that older sister very well. Before trust is established, keeping a distance is protection for ourselves..."

That woman has medicine on her!!

Zhou Yan himself had already fallen into her trap...

He paused, his tone indisputable: "That's settled! Prepare two plans: one group will stay here to fish—since the yield isn't high anyway, we don't need that many people—and another group will immediately start preparing materials for building the Floating Bridge, prioritizing the construction of the Floating Bridge leading to Building 17.

Remember, you can cooperate with the people from Building 17, but you must be vigilant! Without my permission, no one is allowed to contact them without authorization, and they are strictly forbidden from entering the 11th Floor where our core members live!"
