Although it was not winter, the temperature at night was only 17 or 18 degrees. If he slept like this, they would definitely catch a cold.
However, those women had more or less been bullied by them. Now that they had finally made a comeback, how could they be stupid enough to help them?
The women all held grudges. If not for the fact that they were afraid of Xu Qi, they would have attacked the hooligans.
On the other side, Xu Qi and Tang Wanqiu arrived at the surveillance room on the second floor and checked the entire hypermarket through the surveillance camera.
At this moment, the hall on the first floor was still intact. The four gates were closed, and there did not seem to be any safety hazards on the surface.
"So, what are your plans for the future? Do you want to stay in the hypermarket or…"
Tang Wanqiu stood beside Xu Qi and asked curiously.
Xu Qi touched her nose and smiled. "Let's take it one step at a time, but I don't think staying in the hypermarket is a long-term solution."
"The zombies outside can mutate. Although the hypermarket's gate can withstand the attacks of those zombies now, it might not be the case in the future."
Tang Wanqiu's mouth opened slightly in surprise.
To her, the zombies were already so powerful that she could not resist them. If they mutated again in the future, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Xu Qi thought that Tang Wanqiu didn't believe him and immediately told her about his experiences before he came.
However, he hid the part about the system and deliberately mentioned the zombie that could use a hammer to smash glass.
Tang Wanqiu's heart skipped a beat. She didn't expect Xu Qi to have come from such a dangerous place. She couldn't help but feel a little afraid.
If not for Xu Qi, she would have been killed.
Then she thought about the future. It was already certain that the zombies would continue to mutate. She did not have the ability to fight against zombies. In the future, she would either be eaten by zombies or become someone else's plaything. Like other women, she would sell her body to obtain protection and become a slave.
But that kind of encounter was probably even more painful for her than becoming a zombie!
At this moment, Tang Wanqiu seemed to understand something. If she wanted to live with dignity in the apocalypse, she had to stay by Xu Qi's side. There was no other way!
Even if Xu Qi didn't show her powerful combat ability at night, Tang Wanqiu would still choose to stay by his side.
Before the apocalypse, some regrets prevented the two of them from getting together.
Now that the heavens had given her a chance to start over, she would definitely not repeat the same mistake.
Actually, Tang Wanqiu knew in her heart that Xu Qi had chosen to cut ties with her because of her family. However, now that zombies were rampant in the apocalypse, everything had become nothingness.
Nothing could stop her relationship with Xu Qi now!
Thinking of this, Tang Wanqiu felt a lump in her throat. She almost lost the chance to see him again.
"What… happened to you?"
Xu Qi immediately felt Tang Wanqiu's low spirits. He immediately turned around and asked with concern.
Tang Wanqiu pursed her lips and tried her best to calm herself down. However, the emotions in her heart exploded like a dam.
"I… I'm so scared. I'm so scared that I won't be able to see you again."
At this moment, Xu Qi could no longer hold back his tears.
Then she couldn't help but hug Xu Qi's neck and sob.
This time, Xu Qi was completely flustered. His arms hung in the air, and his entire body froze on the spot.
He didn't even know why Tang Wanqiu suddenly cried. He thought that he had said something wrong and made her cry.
"Um… I'm sorry."
He was at a loss and could only apologize softly.
"You didn't… wrong me. On the contrary, I still have to… thank you. Thank you for saving me."
Tang Wanqiu buried her head in Xu Qi's shoulder and sobbed.
Xu Qi could clearly feel that his shoulder was wet. He could only pat Tang Wanqiu's back comfortingly.
He liked Tang Wanqiu very much and even though he had been separated from her for a few months, he still dreamed of her at night.
However, he definitely would not take advantage of Tang Wanqiu when she was weak. This was because his liking for Tang Wanqiu was not only for her appearance, but also for her character and interesting soul.
Therefore, he would not cross the line without a clear intention.
However, Tang Wanqiu still had no intention of letting go. This made Xu Qi a little unsure of what to do.
He thought to himself that he had clearly reached 19 points of intelligence, but he was still as stiff as a fool when it came to dealing with relationships.
"Wanqiu, stop crying. I left you before because…"
Xu Qi thought for a long time and finally seemed to have found the reason why Tang Wanqiu was sad. He immediately explained.
But before he could finish speaking, Tang Wanqiu covered his mouth with her hand.
This time, Xu Qi was completely helpless. He could only stand rooted to the ground.
In the entire surveillance room, only his breathing and Tang Wanqiu's soft sobs were heard.
However, this silence didn't last long because Tang Wanqiu was hugging Xu Qi's shoulder, causing the two of them to almost stick together.
As a good young man, Xu Qi had naturally never experienced such intimate contact.
Moreover, the person hugging him now was the girl he liked deeply.
He was overwhelmed by the physical contact and the faint fragrance from Tang Wanqiu's body.
As time passed, he naturally reacted.
Soon Tang Wanqiu also noticed something strange. She took two steps back, her exquisite face as red as a peach.
Xu Qi also looked embarrassed and almost wanted to find a hole to hide in.
"Ahem, you should rest early. I still have something to do tomorrow. Don't want to get delayed."
Tang Wanqiu was shy. At this moment, Xu Qi gave her a way out. She immediately said, "Alright, I'll sleep here tonight. Go to the staff lounge to sleep. Don't let those people take away my things."
With the previous batch of people there were more than ten people ruling the entire hypermarket.
Unlike them, there were only two of them. At night, they could guard the surveillance room and keep an eye on the situation outside. However, someone had to stay in the lounge where the supplies were stored. Otherwise, if the women got their hands on the weapons, something would definitely happen.
Xu Qi was silent for a moment before taking Wanqiu's suggestion.
To the people outside, the place where food and weapons were stored must be very attractive. He would not be at ease if it was guarded by Wanqiu.
On the contrary, the surveillance room could be locked. It was definitely much safer.
However, just in case, Xu Qi still left behind a nail gun.
This thing was widely used in construction sites and the renovation industry. Although it was not as powerful as a pistol, it could still easily penetrate a person's skin.
Those iron nails were basically seven to eight centimeters long and were very powerful. They were more than enough to protect themselves.
"Alright, I know how to use it. Go and rest."
Tang Wanqiu put a nail into the nail gun and smiled.
Xu Qi looked around. After confirming that there was no danger in the surveillance room, he turned around and prepared to leave.
