38: woke up!

Besides the first warehouse, which had a strong smell of gunpowder, the other warehouses weren't too bad.

Su Mianmian felt it might also be because she had accepted the situation.

After collecting everything, the two got into the car and left.

There were still several batches of goods in W City, and they had to drive there to collect them themselves.

Bringing everything into J City would attract too much attention.

The two took turns driving and arrived in W City in the middle of the night.

W City is a coastal city, and their goods were in a warehouse near the dock.

Shi Xu originally wanted Su Mianmian to rest in the car first, but Su Mianmian thought it would be better to finish collecting while it was still dark.

Seeing her insistence, Shi Xu nodded and took her to the warehouse.

When the two arrived near the warehouse, they saw two people lurking suspiciously at the warehouse entrance, not knowing what they were up to.

Su Mianmian glanced at Shi Xu, and he pulled her back.

There was a small door at the back, which no one knew about except for the Shi Family members.

They entered through the small door and went directly into the warehouse.

"Shi Xu, what are those two men outside trying to do?"

"They wouldn't be trying to steal the supplies from the warehouse, would they?"

After Su Mianmian followed Shi Xu inside, she couldn't help but ask.

She saw that both of them were dressed in black and didn't look like decent people.

She guessed they might be involved in something illicit.

Shi Xu nodded, "Don't mind them. Once we've collected everything from the warehouse, let them come in if they want."

Su Mianmian thought Shi Xu made sense, nodded, and began collecting the supplies.

Shi Xu went to the door to keep watch, while Su Mianmian haphazardly collected things into her space.

Her plan was to categorize them later when she had time.

After an hour of busy work, Su Mianmian was about to collect the last batch of goods when she heard a loud 'bang' from the entrance.

She instinctively held her breath and quietly walked to Shi Xu's side.

Shi Xu made a 'shush' gesture to her, and Su Mianmian nodded.

The two put their ears to the door, listening to the commotion outside.

"Can you or can't you open this warehouse door? If you can't, then don't be so eager to take on this job!"

"Do you know I've been messing around with you all night?!"

"If you can't do it, just leave!"

"Wasting my time."

A voice filled with anger and embarrassment reached their ears. Su Mianmian and Shi Xu exchanged glances, both understanding what he was expressing.

"I... I didn't expect this warehouse door to be so difficult to open!"

..."Forget it, find someone else. I can't do this job."

"I'm leaving first."

Then an angry and helpless voice came through, followed by the clanging sound of tools being packed away.

After one man left, the man who had spoken first also walked away, muttering curses.

Su Mianmian and Shi Xu waited until there was no more movement outside before removing their ears from the door.

"Who exactly is this person trying to break into our warehouse?"

"Why did he target our warehouse?"

Su Mianmian shook her head, her face full of curiosity.

Shi Xu shook his head and said, "Let them investigate when we get back. Let's quickly collect the rest of the things!"

There were still a few more warehouses, so they couldn't waste too much time.

Su Mianmian understood this and finished collecting in no time.

She had felt a little dizzy when she first started collecting, but now she felt nothing at all.

book book said it was because her mental power had increased.

They stayed in W City for two days and finally collected all the supplies.

The two drove back overnight, not lingering for a moment.

Over the past two days, news reports of people biting people had been appearing continuously, and Su Mianmian felt the atmosphere of the apocalypse growing heavier.

"I wonder if the country will take any measures."

Su Mianmian sighed as she looked at the videos circulating on her phone.

"The country probably doesn't know yet that this kind of thing is contagious."

"They are still sending these people to the hospital."

"Those who were bitten are only unconscious; they haven't mutated into zombies yet."

Shi Xu answered Su Mianmian's question while driving.

Su Mianmian nodded. Hospitals would indeed be the main base for zombies in the apocalypse.

When the apocalypse broke out, hospitals would be the first to collapse.

The book mentioned that Shi Xu took a lot of effort to find Su Jinxuan in the hospital.

Unfortunately, in the end... Su Mianmian shook her head. Since she was here, this was no longer the world of the book. She had to change Su Jinxuan's ending, and at the same time, her own.

Her eyes showed a stubbornness, a yearning for new life.

They returned to the villa the next morning.

Butler Li, after two days, seemed to have a few more white hairs.

Su Mianmian felt he seemed overly worried.

"Butler Li, haven't we only been gone for two days?"

"How do I feel like you've changed a lot?"

Su Mianmian asked with a playful tone.

She wanted to lighten the mood, but Butler Li still looked worried.

Seeing this, Su Mianmian felt her efforts were severely lacking.

Shi Xu saw Su Mianmian's disappointed expression and couldn't help but reach out and ruffle her head.

"Butler Li, don't think so much. Even if the sun doesn't rise tomorrow, we still have to live our lives."

"No matter what happens in the future, we won't abandon anyone."

As soon as Shi Xu said these words, Butler Li looked relieved.

Su Mianmian was surprised that Shi Xu had so easily comforted Butler Li with just a few words, and she looked incredulous.

Shi Xu reached out and pinched her face, urging her to go back and rest.

After Su Mianmian left, Shi Xu also departed.

Butler Li was left standing there alone, carefully pondering Shi Xu's words.

Su Mianmian returned to her room, but instead of resting, she flashed into her space.

She felt that Su Jinxuan would wake up today.

Sure enough, as soon as she entered, she heard book book say that he would definitely wake up today.

Su Mianmian didn't plan to let Su Jinxuan wake up in the space.

Hearing book book say this, she flashed out of the space.

The room Shi Xu prepared for Su Jinxuan was right next to hers. She exited her room and entered Su Jinxuan's room.

When she let him out, Su Mianmian also fed him some spirit spring water.

Not knowing when Su Jinxuan would wake up today, Su Mianmian unknowingly fell asleep by his bed.

When she was touched on the head by a dry hand, she instantly jumped up in fright.

Having just woken up, she didn't know what had happened. After a few seconds of confusion, she finally realized where she was.

She turned her head to look at the culprit and was immediately drawn into his gentle gaze.

"Brother, you're awake!"

"You're really awake!"

For some reason, the moment Su Mianmian saw Su Jinxuan open his eyes, she wanted to cry.

Perhaps it was because the Original Body's Owner's consciousness was still within her body, or perhaps it was because they shared the same blood and were close relatives.

In short, Su Mianmian couldn't control her tears at all.

They welled up, one by one, completely disregarding Su Mianmian's will.

Su Jinxuan saw his sister's tear-streaked face, and his heart ached, making him feel helpless.

"Mianmian, don't cry."

"It hurts my heart to see you cry."

Su Jinxuan took Su Mianmian's hand and pulled her closer.

The two hugged, neither knowing whose tears had dampened whose clothes.

After crying in each other's arms for a long time, the two finally separated, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Brother, you even cry."

"I really didn't expect that."

After this cry, Su Mianmian successfully regarded Su Jinxuan as her own brother.

She had always wished for a brother since childhood, and now her wish had come true.

Su Jinxuan wasn't angry at all about being teased by his sister.

"Yes, it's not shameful for me to cry when I can see you again."

Su Jinxuan said with gratitude.

What he was grateful for, perhaps only he knew in his heart.
