Apocalypse: No rebirth! Time to upgrade the sewers!

He turned his head and looked at Wang Jie and Gu Ya.

"Is teasing the dog fun?"

Wang Jie chuckled and nodded.

Gu Ya also smiled.

The gloom that had been weighing on her heart for so long seemed to dissipate considerably at this moment.

Seeing the smiles on the two women's faces, Song Qing also felt good.

He looked at Wang Jie.

"Wang Jie, let's have hot pot tonight."

Wang Jie immediately responded with "Mhm".

She walked to the kitchen.

Song Qing's gaze fell on Gu Ya, who was still somewhat reserved beside her.

Song Qing asked.

What are your plans for the future?

His words were very direct; it was simply a question.

Gu Ya lowered her head, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes, and hesitated for a moment.

"I want to go home."

Her voice wasn't loud, but it was firm.

"My mother...she's paralyzed from the waist down, lives alone at home, and she needs me. I have to go back."

Song Qing nodded.

Where do you live?

"The Redwood Residential Complex next to Xicheng Hospital," Gu Ya replied immediately.

Xicheng Hospital.

A patient with high-level paraplegia was trapped alone at home for more than half a month, in this awful weather of minus fifty degrees Celsius.

The chances of survival are almost zero.

Song Qing knew the outcome perfectly well, but looking at Gu Ya's face, which held a hint of stubbornness and expectation, he didn't say it aloud.

Some people only give up after seeing the result with their own eyes.

However, West City Hospital...

He also needed to go there.

Medicines and medical devices are the most valuable forms of hard currency in the apocalypse.

Gu Ya, an attending physician at Xicheng Hospital, is the best mentor.

"How about this?"

Song Qing leaned against the wall with her arms crossed.

"I'll take you back."

"In exchange, you need to lead me to the medicine in the hospital's warehouse. How about this deal?"

Gu Ya suddenly raised her head.

Without the slightest hesitation, she nodded immediately.

"No problem! I know Xicheng Hospital very well; I know the location of every department, including the warehouse."

She was somewhat agitated.

"When are we going?"

Song Qing looked her up and down.

She looks like she could be blown away by the wind; she'd freeze to death halfway there, let alone go to the hospital.

"the day after tomorrow."

"Your current physical condition isn't up to par."

He made a decision

"Go take a shower first, I have hot water here."

After saying that, he ignored Gu Ya and turned to walk towards the staircase leading to the second basement level, speaking to Wang Jie who had already reached the top of the stairs.

"Wang Jie, find her a clean set of clothes."

Wang Jie responded gently.

"Okay, I understand."

Song Qing then went down the stairs.

The temperature in the basement was almost the same as upstairs.

He walked up to the large freezer.

It was stuffed full of all kinds of frozen, rock-hard meat.

He reached out and took out rolls of frozen mutton, sliced ​​beef, and several bags of pork meatballs, holding them in his arms.

Back on the first floor, he piled everything on the folding table and handed it to Wang Jie.

"You handle it."

Wang Jie took it and skillfully began preparations.

Song Qing returned to the second basement level of the shelter, took out a copper pot from a box, added charcoal, poured in water, and lit it.

After doing all this, he straightened up.

Footsteps came from the stairs.

It's Gu Ya.

She has already come down.

After taking a shower, Gu Ya was completely different from the disheveled woman she had been just moments before.

Her long, white hair, which had been tangled from hunger and filth, now flowed smoothly over her shoulders, and her skin, after being washed clean, was glowing white.

She was wearing a beige sweater by Wang Jie and a pair of tight jeans.

Although he had become extremely thin due to prolonged hunger, his physical outline was undeniable.

Her curvaceous figure is on par with Wang Jie's.

"I'm done washing."

Song Qing asked.

Gu Ya nodded, still feeling a little awkward.

"Yes, I'm done washing. Sister Wang told me to come down and wait for dinner."

"Um."

Song Qing responded.

"Go sit down at the table."

He pulled out a chair and sat down.

Soon, Wang Jie came over carrying plates of sliced ​​meat and meatballs, as well as mushrooms from the planter in the shelter.

The water in the copper pot was already bubbling and steaming.

The three people sat down around the table.

The aroma of hot pot instantly filled the entire shelter.

Gu Ya looked at the meat slices bubbling in the pot and swallowed.

Song Qing picked up his chopsticks and said

"Eat."

He spoke.

Gu Ya then picked up her chopsticks, took a slice of mutton, and put it into the pot.

The meat slices cooked quickly.

She picked it out and, without even blowing on it to cool it down, put it directly into her mouth.

Then, her chopsticks never stopped.

Looking at Gu Ya's appearance, Wang Jie showed a pained expression and said with a smile.

"Eat slowly, don't burn yourself, there's still plenty left."

Gu Ya's face instantly turned red, as if someone had caught her by the scruff of her neck, and her movements slowed down.

"Okay, I understand, Sister Wang."

Song Qing ignored their interaction and just ate by herself.

After finishing her meal, Wang Jie quickly cleared away the dishes.

Song Qing looked at Gu Ya.

"You'll be sleeping in this bed downstairs tonight."

Gu Ya stood up and bowed deeply to Song Qing.

"Thank you so much, Song Qing."

Her voice was filled with sincerity.

"Thank you for saving me and for giving me food."

"Okay, you go rest, I'm going back to sleep."

After finishing her sentence, Song Qing returned to the shelter and lay back on the double bed, putting her hands behind her head and thinking about what to do next.

The door to the shelter's kitchen was pushed open.

Wang Jie came out, wearing a black silk nightgown that accentuated her very, very voluptuous curves.

She went straight to the bedside and lay down next to Song Qing, clinging to him like a docile cat.

Is it dangerous today?

"I see your clothes are all torn."

Song Qing reached out and patted Wang Jie's head.

"It's okay, I can become invisible."

Wang Jie nodded and snuggled closer to Song Qing.

She hesitated for a moment, but then spoke.

"Song Qing, why don't you keep Gu Ya here? I think she's quite nice."

Song Qing paused for a moment.

How could he not understand Wang Jie's thoughts?

She is very clear about her position in the team and her own value.

Gu Ya is very beautiful, has a good figure, and is a doctor.

No man in a post-apocalyptic world would refuse.

But as the saying goes, you can't force a relationship to be happy.

"We'll see."

His voice was calm.

"I won't force anyone."

Wang Jie wanted to say something more.

Song Qing suddenly rolled over and pinned her down.

……

Two days later at noon.
