Ming Xue didn't took his clothes off and just took his hat and mask showing his face to his junior who was currently stund silly and can't help but doubtfully look over
"What's wrong?"
"..Nothing," Ning Shu look down a bit embarrassed then remembered that they haven't eaten lunch yet and looked up to ask if he should cook and was stunned
Ming Xue knows that they haven't had eaten yet so he went to the nearby box by his side and get 2 instant noodles, 4 sandwiches and a bottle of water, serving them on the table, so when Ning Shu refocused he saw a hot noodles, two tuna sandwich and water in front of him
He felt it was funny, he wasn't even alert to the youth whom he only met for half a day that he didn't even know what he was doing
Thus their daily life consisted of eating breakfast, gathering supplies, eating, talking (which was only reading and less talking) then going in their separate ways and slowly became closer like brothers
One morning Ming Xue woke up wearing loose white shirt and shorts with a comfortable and lazy attitude, he was relaxed and felt his changes in his body after continuous cultivating not really caring about the roaring and groaning of the zombies
It has already been a week since the apocalypse but the army was only going to be dispatched, he will only get serious after two weeks which when the red rain will fall, the real beginning of the apocalypse
Slowly, he was also forgetting the novel which was weird since his memories other than that was completely intact so he wrote everything in a book that he hid in the space
Anyways, he won't get involve to the main characters and will just live to the fullest with his partner in this disaster
They also already talked to each other that they will go in another way than the army.. though Ming Xue was actually hesitant about it since it felt like Deja Vu but nevertheless agreed
Ming Xue get up from his bed and looked down seeing that the futon was already folded cleanly without a sign of anyone, he was also glad that he found out he can meditate in any position but won't move and kept calm so his friend doesn't know about his secret
Out of the door he saw Ning Shu was reading a book with sitting on the living room
"Morning Shushu~" Ming Xue sat on the pillow chair and made a breakfast for two people, right, he found out his junior doesn't know how to do housework and simply have no talent but extremely picky
"Morning," Ning Shu smiled genuinely and pats the silky hair that feels soft and warm naturally, he also wasn't bothered now much about the appearance of the little incubus
Ming Xue helplessly pouts and just made a simple fried rice, sour soup and BBQ grilled fish that they get in a supermarket some time ago, truthfully, his space wasn't that big but due to his original talent and earlier meditation while also cultivating daily his space and abilities also grow everyday and he also got more proficient in using it more natural, although he kinda want to practice the other exercises he can't cause he isn't of age yet
Both was chatting and eating happily when suddenly someone knocked know their door as if wanted to break it, they looked at each other, one was curious the other was unhappy
Ning Shu stood up and told the curious cat not to move and indifferently slowly approached the door and also coincidentally when he opened the door the person outside was also about to rush in, causing a collision, and since the other was stronger, the person outside was knocked over
"YOU-!!" A middle-aged woman with fat body looking haggard, sweaty and smelly fell down carrying a metal bat
"What's your business?" Nink Shu coldy asked, he was enjoying eating with his hamster then there was disturbance..tsk.. unforgivable..
Yes, that's right, Ning Shu hopelessly became charmed by our stupid MC, since the subject doesn't know how to be with a friend he was gentle and careful, as if treasuring a vulnerable person even as far as covering his whole hand just to pat his junior whom, with filtered eyes, was very weak, and so one can say Ning Shu was spoiled rotten in the week they were together.. of course all those was reciprocated
"Fuck, can't you say something before you open the door?! Pei! This madam is the owner of this building, you have to pay the rent since your rent was already due, or you can only say goodbye and go roam around those monsters!" The woman angrily shouted while also swinging the weapon, if ordinary people was the one who was at the door, they will feel threatened and will obediently pay rent unfortunately the shamelessness woman got his enemy as the subject
"Oh? And how much is the rent?"
The woman was stunned and felt that something was wrong, but her hunger, stress, and problems already accumulated that she can't think more so she shouted happily her demand
"Three kilos of meat, 10 pounds of rice, 5 liters of water!" She knows this person always go out to collect materials so her demand doubled and so when the man went in she happily waited outside and already was thinking of the full meal she will have with her husband this lunch
Ning Shu went in and saw his pet already packed everything without anything left within nook and cranny and his eyes was full of amusement seeing Ming Xue already covered from head to toe carrying nothing but a tray with his unfinished food on his two hands and a knife strapped on his waist
This little fellow must have been eavesdropping and already know what's in his mind, he was a killer but he won't care about the others, plus the end is like a rule of survival so choosing to quietly leave was the best choice.. unless the latter doesn't want to let them go
Well, for the two of them it was just a small episode as they just made the woman unconscious and put her inside the empty apartment
Going to the back, Ming Xue kindly advised his neighbors to also go out and survive and not deny reality before walking away with his partner
Since it was still early they decided to get more supplies first, Ming Xue suggested going to the library that was a bit far along the way. They cautiously walk with light footsteps and killed some zombies along the way
"Are you tired?" Ming Xue asked concernedly for the 5th time every 20 minutes while killing three zombies in front squirting violet and red blood on the road that he avoided nimbly, he was also getting used to this it kinda get fun.. at first he was also a bit pale but it wasn't a hindrance but now he can do it without changing face and do it more faster
"No, are you hot?" Ning Shu helplessly answered and also asked a question, after all even he who have an ice ability felt the weather only normal but tiring, then what about Ming Xue who was fully covered with no skin exposed in black windbreaker but also have a cotton and silk layer with a thick hat and a mask only showing the beautiful and soul plucking sea blue with pink tinge eyes and long eyelashes that give a pure, cute and sensual feeling, thus even with those, one can imagine the youth was beautiful
Back to the question, Ming Xue felt a bit guilty for hiding it, but he still want a card in case some things happened since he fully can't trust the child yet, even if they got along for one week already and truly cared for him.. just give him some time..
"Nope, Shushu is so good~ oh! look the biggest mall nearby, we should sleep there for the day and get supplies," He changed the subject as he pointed at the mall, that wasn't really large since the neighborhood really is just mini shops, restaurants and apartments, the highway was still far and needed to went through the school he transferred in
Both went in while avoiding confrontation to zombies and appeared at the back door of the mall which was locked, Ning Shu just used the wire he made me make to unlock the door without problem, he was shocked at first when he did that days ago but he got used to it, plus, even if his partner can't he will just use force
They went inside quietly and opened the flashlight that came out of nowhere and looked at the surroundings which was just a locker room, both rummaged without care while also talking to each other, opening the locked doors and cabinets they put all the important stuff in the space
After all those they opened the door connecting to the inside of the mall and was shocked..
