10: What should I do if I run away?

Shi Xu couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache when he saw Su Mianmian looking dejected ever since she heard what he said.

He raised his hand and ruffled her head, as if comforting her.

Su Mianmian felt Shi Xu's touch. She lifted a confused face to look at him, as if she didn't understand what he was doing.

Shi Xu didn't like seeing Su Mianmian's dejected expression; he still preferred her vibrant look from earlier.

"Mianmian, don't overthink it. Maybe my guess isn't correct?"

"Actually, whether my guess is correct or not, we still have time, don't we?"

"As long as we hurry and gather supplies, we can definitely collect everything we need before the apocalypse arrives."

Shi Xu himself was a person who feared no threat. He believed in himself, believing he could defy fate.

Su Mianmian looked at Shi Xu's confident expression, and a powerful surge of confidence suddenly erupted within her heart.

"Shi Xu, I believe you."

"Oh, right, I have a very magical water in my space. It can enhance physical fitness and heal injuries."

"I want to take it out and let my brother try it."

"If it can really wake my brother up, then that would be wonderful."

Su Mianmian thought of the brother she had never met, and she was quite interested.

Besides interest, she also felt a little afraid. She was afraid that the Original Body's Owner's brother would realize she wasn't his sister.

If he really found out, would Su Mianmian helping him be a mistake?

As Su Mianmian thought of this, she suddenly found herself in a difficult position.

Shi Xu didn't know about Su Mianmian's dilemma. When he heard her words, his eyes instantly lit up.

"Mianmian, you can try. Whether your brother can wake up depends on you." This was the first time Shi Xu had looked at Su Mianmian with such sincerity while speaking.

Su Mianmian felt Shi Xu's anticipation, and suddenly she couldn't utter any words of refusal.

She felt that she shouldn't occupy the Original Body's Owner's body and not save her brother. Her brother had done nothing wrong. If she could really save him, she should still try.

After all, it was just a try. If the spirit spring water didn't work, then she wouldn't feel guilty.

Ultimately, Su Mianmian was just an ordinary girl. She couldn't bring herself to harm the Original Body's Owner's brother.

Su Mianmian had already prepared a fallback plan for herself. If the Original Body's Owner's brother noticed she wasn't the Original Body's Owner, she would leave.

The world was vast; she refused to believe there was no place for her.

Thinking of this, Su Mianmian nodded to Shi Xu and said, "Shi Xu, don't worry, I will do my best for my brother."

Shi Xu nodded with satisfaction when he heard her say that.

Shi Xu was very happy that Su Mianmian could think this way.

That she could think like this for her brother, it was no wonder her brother thought of her even in the most dangerous moments.

Shi Xu was even a little envious of the bond between the two siblings.

"Shi Xu, do you know what we need to prepare?"

"My space can also be used for breeding and planting, so small animals cannot be few, and seeds cannot be few either."

"Things for warmth and cooling are also indispensable."

"After the apocalypse, extreme weather occurs very frequently. One moment it might be sub-zero temperatures of over thirty degrees, and the next it could be high temperatures of thirty or forty degrees."

"For cars, it's best to choose ones with good performance and high chassis."

"After the apocalypse, there will be many obstacles on the road. If the chassis is too low, it will be difficult to get through."

"Also, during this time, we must strengthen our exercise. Only with a good body can we avoid turning into monsters before the apocalypse even arrives."

...Su Mianmian said a lot, mostly common knowledge about the apocalypse. She believed that with just a simple explanation, Shi Xu would understand everything.

Shi Xu was so smart; Su Mianmian was very confident in his comprehension abilities.

After listening to Su Mianmian, Shi Xu nodded. It was the first time he had listened to someone speak so attentively.

"Mianmian, I know all these things you mentioned."

"When it comes to gathering supplies, I'll still need you."

"How much can your space hold?"

Shi Xu's words "your space" successfully pleased Su Mianmian. She felt that Shi Xu was really good. This space medium was clearly the Shi Family's heirloom, but now that it was in her hands, he not only didn't feel dissatisfied, but he also respected her like this.

Su Mianmian felt that Shi Xu was worthy of being someone who could achieve great things in the future; he was truly too generous.

"Shi Xu, the warehouse area is very large. It can hold as much as you have."

"I'm just afraid you won't be able to prepare that many things."

Su Mianmian said, looking at him with a smile.

Shi Xu found it interesting. He had thought it was just a small space, but he didn't expect such a pleasant surprise.

"It's fine, the bigger the better."

"We should go abroad to collect supplies then, can you do that?"

Shi Xu didn't want to collect supplies domestically.

Firstly, he didn't want to compete with his countrymen for supplies, and secondly, collecting supplies on such a large scale domestically was too risky. They might be summoned for a talk before the apocalypse even arrived.

Shi Xu didn't want to create any unnecessary complications at this critical juncture. After some thought, he decided that going abroad was the safest option.

Su Mianmian naturally understood Shi Xu's considerations. She wasn't too concerned about where to collect supplies; she just wanted to collect supplies.

"Shi Xu, of course I can go abroad to collect supplies."

"But do you trust me that much?"

"If you put all the supplies with me, what would you do if I ran off?"

Su Mianmian suddenly thought of this question and asked him with a curious expression.

Shi Xu had clearly not considered this question. When he heard Su Mianmian ask, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

He thought about it and felt that Su Mianmian's question was really difficult to answer. In his opinion, whether she ran off or not didn't have a very big impact on him.

Su Mianmian didn't even need to hear Shi Xu's answer. She knew what he was thinking just by looking at his expression.

"Mianmian, I don't think you would run away."

"Even if you did run, it would be fine. I just hope you can take good care of these supplies."

Shi Xu looked at Su Mianmian with sincerity.

Su Mianmian felt like she was truly not human. Although Shi Xu didn't care about these things because of his inherent strength, if she really ran off with these things, she felt like her conscience would bother her for a lifetime.

Had he guessed long ago that she wasn't the kind of extremely selfish person?

Thinking of this, Su Mianmian looked at Shi Xu with suspicion, as if trying to see what he was really thinking.
