187: Chapter 187 Yuling has been acting strangely lately

This wasn't just a normal dimming; it was as if someone had instantly switched off all the lights.

That kind of absolute, thorough darkness.

Even through the RV windows, one could feel the oppressive weight of that darkness.

The lights in the living room were still on, but looking out through the window, nothing could be seen.

It wasn't the darkness of a starry night, but a void-like darkness, as if everything had been completely devoured by something.

"Wow..."

Zhou Yueyue exclaimed in a low voice.

"It really is impossible to see anything at all."

Su Yuling subconsciously leaned closer to her sister.

Han Yurou was also a bit nervous and grabbed her mother's hand.

Han Qing gently patted her hand and comforted her:

"It's okay, the RV is very safe."

Qin Lin brought up the System interface to check the various data points.

【RV Current Status:】

【Lighting System: Interior normal, exterior failed】

【Detection System: Barely able to detect within 50 meters】

【Communication System: Interior normal】

【Life Support System: 100% operational】

【Climate Control System: 100% operational】

【Protective Shield: 100% operational】

【Recommendation: Stay in place, wait for the Eternal Night zone to pass】

【Estimated stay duration: 15 days】

Qin Lin closed the System and said to everyone:

"Alright, that's the situation. For the next 15 days, we can't go anywhere. We'll just stay in the vehicle, so everyone just do what you need to do."

Su Yuran smiled.

"A 15-day vacation? That sounds nice."

Li Ying also smiled.

"Perfect, we can get some good rest."

Han Yurou breathed a sigh of relief.

"You scared me; I thought there was some new danger."

Qin Lin shook his head.

"There's no danger, just boredom."

He looked out the window at that absolute darkness, deep in thought.

The disasters in the apocalypse really are strange and varied.

Extreme cold, extreme heat, magma, Eternal Night...

Each one is enough to make an ordinary person despair.

Fortunately, they have the RV.

In the following days, life on the RV became exceptionally peaceful.

Unable to move or go outside, everyone was trapped in this small space.

But fortunately, the RV was large enough and had enough facilities, so it didn't feel stifling.

Every morning, everyone would get up one after another and eat breakfast in the living room.

Then they would each find something to do.

Reading, watching movies, chatting, playing cards, swimming, working out.

Eating lunch together, continuing to pass the time in the afternoon.

Gathering in the living room at night, either watching a movie or playing games, then returning to their respective rooms to sleep.

The days passed in a routine and boring manner.

But within the boredom, there was also warmth.

Every day, Han Yurou would drag Su Yuling and Zhou Yueyue to play cards together. The three girls would huddle together, chattering and arguing about who won and who lost.

Zhou Lingling would watch from the side, occasionally offering advice to her younger sister.

Su Yuran and Li Ying would lean on the sofa reading books, occasionally looking up at them and sharing a smile.

Lin Wanwan and Xu Xue were the most laid-back pair; if others didn't initiate, they had almost no presence.

Qin Lin spent most of his time in the Drivers Cabin, staring blankly at the System data.

Although they couldn't move, he still had to monitor the status of the RV at all times to ensure everything was normal.

...

In Bedroom 005, Zhou Lingling and Zhou Yueyue were lying side by side on the bed, neither of them asleep.

"Sister, are you asleep?" Zhou Yueyue asked in a low voice.

"No."

Zhou Yueyue turned over to face her sister.

"Sister, what do you think... what exactly are we on this vehicle?"

Zhou Lingling was silent for a few seconds.

"What do you mean?"

Zhou Yueyue thought about it.

"I mean... our status. Look, the women on the vehicle all seem to be Brother Lin's women. Sister Yuran is, Sister Wanwan is, Aunt Han Qing is, Sister Yu Rou is, Sister Li Ying is, Sister Xu Xue is, and it seems Yuling is too... So what about us?"

Zhou Lingling didn't answer immediately.

Zhou Yueyue continued:

"We've been here for so long, and he... he's been quite good to us. He buys us clothes, lets us do missions to earn survival points, and even... even lets us take on special missions, but..."

She paused.

"But what exactly are we to him?"

"Sister, do you think... we will really become Brother Lin's women?"

Zhou Lingling was silent for a few seconds.

"I suppose so."

"Why?"

"Because we live here. There's food and drink, it's safe and comfortable, we lack for nothing, but is it possible to give nothing in return?"

Zhou Yueyue listened without speaking.

Zhou Lingling continued:

"And look at the sisters on the vehicle; every one of them is very good to Brother Lin. Some are pregnant, and some are trying to get pregnant. This must be the way they give back."

Zhou Yueyue whispered:

"Then do we have to be like that too?"

Zhou Lingling looked at her.

"You don't want to?"

Zhou Yueyue blushed.

"It's not that I don't want to... Brother Lin is a good person and he's handsome too, it's just... I'm a bit nervous."

Zhou Lingling smiled.

"Me too."

The two were silent for a while.

Zhou Yueyue suddenly asked:

"Sister, do you think... if that were to happen, would one person go, or would we go together?"

Zhou Lingling was taken aback.

"What do you mean?"

Zhou Yueyue's voice became even lower.

"I mean... serving him in bed. Would we take turns, or go together?"

Zhou Lingling blushed at what she said.

"You... you're thinking way too far ahead."

Zhou Yueyue pouted.

"I'm just curious."

Zhou Lingling thought about it.

"I suppose... either way would be fine, it depends on what Brother Lin wants."

"Do you want to go together?"

Zhou Yueyue nodded, blushing.

"If we go together... it wouldn't be as scary."

Zhou Lingling thought about it.

"Then what if only one person can go?"

Zhou Yueyue said without hesitation:

"Then you go. You are the older sister, you go first."

"Does that kind of thing distinguish between older and younger sisters?"

Zhou Yueyue said seriously:

"Of course it does. Older sister first, younger sister after."

Zhou Lingling reached out and patted her head.

"Then what if it's together?"

Zhou Yueyue smiled.

"Together is best. We sisters will always be together."

Zhou Lingling also smiled.

"Okay."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"Oh right, Sister." Zhou Yueyue suddenly remembered something.

"Do you think Yuling has been acting a bit strange lately?"

Zhou Lingling was taken aback.

"Strange? How is she strange?"

Zhou Yueyue thought about it.

"It's just... the way she looks at Brother Lin is different from before."

Zhou Lingling hadn't paid much attention.

"How is it different?"

Zhou Yueyue couldn't quite describe it.

"It's just... before, when she looked at Brother Lin, it was that kind of shy, evasive look."

"Now... she still avoids him, but when she does, she looks at others, especially when she looks at us and Sister Yu Rou."

Zhou Lingling frowned.

"Are you saying... she's jealous?"

Zhou Yueyue nodded.

"It's a bit like that. Yesterday when we were chatting in the living room, whenever she talked to us, her eyes kept drifting toward Brother Lin."

"And... I feel like she doesn't really like us getting close to Brother Lin."

Zhou Lingling was silent for a few seconds.

"Maybe you're overthinking it."

Zhou Yueyue shook her head.

"I hope so."

The two didn't discuss this topic anymore and went to sleep.
