"Water and gas are both out!" Miya And Riya pursed her lips, feeling her throat extremely dry.
Luckily, she had prepared some water yesterday... It's all thanks to this man that I was prepared in advance!
Miya and Riya glanced at Nick and noticed his gaze was slightly strange, as if he was staring straight at her.
Miya And Riya lowered her head slightly and realized her attire was inappropriate.
Last night was too hot, so she changed her short-sleeved shirt to a silk camisole, without wearing a bra...
Miya and Riya's faces flushed suddenly, and she immediately ran back to her room.
Nick watched the waves and flames in his heart, took a big gulp of water to suppress his impulse.
Miya And Riya closed her room door and leaned against it, feeling a bit relieved. Just a bit too revealing!
Miya and Riya looked at herself, a trace of shyness flashing across her face.
But then she thought to herself, what's the big deal?
It's not like I'm wearing a swimsuit... Screw it!
She sat on the edge of the bed, took a sip of water, trying to comfort herself, but Nick's burning gaze kept flashing through her mind.
She had noticed before that Nick would stare at her legs, but his gaze had been rather subtle then, unlike those past few days when he seemed completely unrestrained.
With the arrival of the apocalypse, he seemed like a different person. Of course, it could also be because she didn't know him well enough before.
Miya And Riya took a deep breath, walked into the bathroom, and used some of the water she had prepared yesterday to quickly clean herself up.
After finishing her morning routine, Miya And Riya hesitated for a moment, then changed into a slightly loose pair of sweatpants, tidied herself up, and walked out of the room.
Nick was still exercising. Miya and Riya couldn't help but feel a bit self-conscious. Does he not like my outfit?
Miya and Riya subconsciously thought to herself, feeling a hint of secret joy in her heart!
"Have you had breakfast?" Miya and Riya asked him.
"I have. With the gas out, we can't cook anymore. Just have something light," Nick said, finishing a set of Immortal Body Forging Technique exercises and taking a short break.
"What about later? The preserved food won't last forever!" Miya and Riya looked worried.
"I'll go out tomorrow and see if I can collect anything useful," Nick said.
"We still have plenty to eat. There's no need to go out so soon!" Miya. And Riya tried to dissuade him. What if he doesn't come back?
"I know, but we need more than just food. Right now, what we lack the most is water," Nick paused and continued.
"Although we've stocked up some, I train every day, sweat a lot, and need a lot of water. "
"The water we have at home won't last long for both of us. Plus, I'm not acting recklessly."
" I plan to clean up the hallway first and lock the doors to the units downstairs. That way, at least this building will be safe."
"We can make a fire in the hallway later for cooking, which is safer than in the apartment and won't risk setting anything on fire!"
Without gas and electricity, there's always the most primitive method of chopping wood and making fire.
But there are too many flammable materials in the room, and a little carelessness could cause a disaster.
Nick had seen entire buildings burned down due to indoor fires in his past life. It's much safer in the hallway, with iron stair railings and nothing flammable.
Miya And Riya pursed her lips, her worried expression not diminishing, but she didn't say anything more.
"Also, don't just pour the water from washing down the drain in the future. Keep it for flushing the toilet," Nick added.
Apartment buildings have this downside. Once the water and power are cut off, the hardest part is using the toilet.
If it can't be cleaned on time and the toilet gets blocked, the room will soon become uninhabitable.
That's why most of the survivors gathered in areas near water sources, such as villas, low-rise buildings, or bungalows.
In areas with towering skyscrapers, it became a paradise for zombies. Nick had made plans early on.
As long as he survived the viral outbreak period, he could go to the place he had already scoped out.
There was water, electricity, and many rooms. As long as he controlled that place, he could quickly recruit people and expand his influence.
Miya and Riya went to the kitchen to make herself some food, while Nick continued his training.
When Miya and Riya finished eating, she started practicing the movements she had learned yesterday.
Nick would also give pointers when he took breaks, but he couldn't help but feel a bit less motivated without seeing Miya And Riya's white, shapely thighs.
Miya and Riya quickly grasped the tricks and performed the movements with finesse, but because she wasn't an awakened body, the effects weren't as pronounced.
On the other hand, Nick, after intense training, became even more powerful.
Furniture like tables, chairs, coffee tables, and washing machines in the house were moved around by him as if he were playing.
A whole day passed quietly in the continuous cycle of training and rest.
Although Miya and Riya had to take breaks twice to prepare meals for Nick, which meant she didn't train for too long, she still felt incredibly tired.
After dinner, she simply wiped herself down and quickly fell asleep in her room.
The next morning, Miya and Riya woke up feeling more refreshed than ever before.
"Seems like it really works, at least I slept well!"
Miya and Riya felt joyful, but thinking about Nick going out today made her feel a bit flustered and worried.
As she left her room, she hesitated for a moment. In the end, she didn't wear sweatpants but instead opted for the most comfortable shorts she had.
In the living room, Nick's eyes lit up when he saw Miya and Riya coming out. Under the sunlight, her slender legs were dazzling. Huh? Shorts...
On the third day of the apocalypse, Nick still woke up early.
Today he didn't rush to exercise, but instead had a hearty meal and began preparing to go out.
He was still dressed in a combat jacket and jeans, with the magazines wrapped around his arms still intact.
The long-metal stick was no longer suitable for him; it was too lightweight.
But there were no better weapons available, so he had to make do with them.
The sheep's horn hammer at his waist had been cleaned, and besides that, he also packed some other things that might come in handy.
Things like other ropes, fruit knives, and so on are stored in rings.
Finally, he slung a large empty backpack on his back, so if he could collect any supplies, he would have something to carry them in.
Once he was fully dressed, Miya and Riya came out of her room.
"Are you... getting ready to go out?" Miya And Riya's eyes were initially evasive, but when she saw Nick's attire, she immediately became concerned.
"Yes!" Nick glanced at her shorts and smiled brightly. "You look very nice today!"
Miya And Riya blushed slightly and dared not look at him, stuttering, "Um... take care, I'll... I'll wait for you to come back!"
"Don't worry, for your sake, I'll make sure you come back safely too!" Nick said, then walked to the entrance door.
He didn't rush to open the door but instead looked through the peephole first.
Amol had caused quite a stir that day, and since he had run all the way back, it was difficult to say if there weren't any zombies following him.
The peephole had limited visibility, but he could roughly see if there were any figures near the door.
Once he confirmed there were no zombies outside, Nick cautiously opened the door.
Miya and Riya nervously watched his every move, relieved only when she saw there were no zombies outside.
Instead of immediately closing the door, Nick looked around first, ready to retreat if something seemed off.
They were in a multi-story building, with six floors in total and no elevator. Each floor had two units, and they were on the fifth floor.
