A few minutes later.

Li Ruobing returned to the driver's seat.

She wiped away her tears and tidied her messy hair.

Although my wrist still hurts, and my face is as pale as paper.

But her eyes changed.

They became more resolute, and also more pure.

She walked up to Qin Yu, head down, like a child who had done something wrong.

"Boss."

"The people have been dealt with."

"I threw Wang Long's body down too."

"The floor is clean."

Qin Yu was still leaning against the control panel, smoking.

He looked at Li Ruobing with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

"Hand out."

Qin Yu said.

Li Ruobing paused for a moment, then subconsciously extended her uninjured left hand.

"The other one."

Li Ruobing bit her lip and slowly extended her right hand, which was swollen like a steamed bun.

Qin Yu reached out and grasped her wrist.

Li Ruobing shuddered in pain, but didn't dare to pull back.

Qin Yu gently pressed his fingers on her wound.

"The bones are fine, it's just soft tissue contusion."

"Although it hasn't stopped, don't expect to lift anything heavy these next few days."

After saying that, Qin Yu flipped his hand over.

A bottle of blue spray appeared out of nowhere.

I caught this a few nights ago when I was bored and used an SSS-grade fishing rod.

**[Grade B Medical Spray]**

**【Efficacy: Quickly relieves pain, reduces swelling, and accelerates healing.】**

"Sizzle—"

The cool medicinal mist was sprayed onto my swollen wrist.

The excruciating pain was instantly relieved by more than half.

Instead, it has a tingling, refreshing sensation.

Li Ruobing stared in surprise.

This is amazing!

I was in so much pain just now, but now I can move around?

"Don't get it wet for the next couple of days."

Qin Yu casually tossed the spray to Li Ruobing.

"Here, take this medicine."

Li Ruobing caught the medicine bottle in a panic, as if she were catching some rare treasure.

"Thank... thank you, boss!"

"You're welcome."

Qin Yu stubbed out his cigarette, his gaze turning serious.

"Li Ruobing".

"You are guilty in this incident."

Li Ruobing's heart sank.

The feeling of being moved vanished instantly, replaced by panic.

Is this a prelude to settling scores later?

"I...I know."

Li Ruobing lowered her head, her voice trembling.

"I'm the one who brought them onto the ship."

"It's my fault for misjudging people."

"It almost ruined the boss's life, and it almost ruined everyone's life."

"I am willing to accept the punishment."

She would accept any punishment as long as she wasn't forced off the ship.

Even if it's cleaning toilets, even if it's being used as bait...

Qin Yu looked at her cautious demeanor and suddenly smiled.

"Punishment is definitely necessary."

"However, before that, I need to calculate your merits."

"Honors?" Li Ruobing raised her head blankly.

"You did not surrender immediately when faced with two armed thugs."

"You did not activate the fire control system when your life was threatened."

Even with a knife to your throat, you didn't betray me.

Qin Yu's voice wasn't loud, but every word was precious.

"That is merit."

"In this apocalyptic world, loyalty is more important than ability."

"If you lack the ability, I can provide you with equipment and enhancements."

"But if your heart is crooked, then you can only be disposed of as garbage."

Qin Yu walked up to Li Ruobing and patted her on the shoulder.

"You have passed the test."

"Starting today."

"You are no longer a temporary worker on this ship, nor are you the driver who only deserves to sleep on the floor."

"I hereby formally accept you as a full-fledged crew member of the 'President'."

This moment.

Li Ruobing's mind went blank.

Official...crew?

What does this mean?

This means that she has truly entered Qin Yu's inner circle!

No longer a pawn that can be discarded at any time!

Overwhelmed with joy, she felt dizzy.

"Is...is this real?"

"Why would I need to lie to you?"

Qin Yu pointed to the top of his head.

"You can stay in the room Yao Xue vacated on the second floor, right next to Yao Qian's."

"Although it's not as nice as the master bedroom, it has a bed, a private bathroom, and 24-hour hot water."

"From now on, you'll live there."

"Robots will do the heavy work of shoveling snow and moving things in the future."

"Your task is to sail this ship well, manage the radar, and..."

Qin Yu paused, his eyes sweeping over Li Ruobing's clothes, which were torn from the battle, with a playful look.

That sexy tank top was now torn in one corner, revealing a large expanse of snow-white skin.

"Also, make sure you look clean."

"I don't want my crew to look like refugees."

"If you perform well, I wouldn't mind giving you two more decent outfits."

"For example... a maid outfit?"

Qin Yu made a wicked joke.

But Li Ruobing didn't take the joke seriously at all.

All she heard was that string of keywords.

bed.

Private bathroom.

24-hour hot water.

No need to do manual labor.

God.

What an amazing life!

This might have been standard before the apocalypse, but now it's like royalty!

Think back to those nights before.

She huddled on the cold floor of the cab, covered with her thin down jacket, often waking up in the middle of the night from the cold.

Think back to how Wang Long and his men were willing to risk their lives for a single heating vent.

And now.

She actually has her own room!

And there's hot shower!

Li Ruobing's eyes reddened again.

She suddenly took a step forward, ignoring the pain in her wrist, and hugged Qin Yu tightly.

Hold him tightly.

She buried her face in Qin Yu's chest.

"Thanks……"

"Waaaah... Thank you, boss..."

"I promise I'll listen! I promise I'll do my job well!"

"I'll wear whatever you tell me to wear!"

"I'd even be willing to warm your bed!"

She meant it from the bottom of her heart.

This moment.

In her heart.

Qin Yu's figure was infinitely taller.

He is no longer that terrifying god of death, nor that cold-blooded dictator.

He is light.

This is the only ray of light in the frigid hell.

Qin Yu was taken aback by the sudden hug.

Feeling the warm, soft body in my arms, and the chest heaving violently with excitement.

He did not push her away.

He just sighed helplessly.

"Alright, alright."

Don't smear your snot on me.

"This suit is very difficult to wash."

Li Ruobing burst into laughter through her tears, quickly letting go of her hand and wiping her face somewhat embarrassedly.

"Um... Boss, can I go check out the room now?"

Her eyes were full of anticipation, like a little girl waiting to unwrap a present.

"Go."

Qin Yu waved his hand.

"Take a shower while you're at it."

"You have a strange smell about you."

Li Ruobing blushed and quickly sniffed herself.

indeed.

I was rolling around on the ground and sweating, so I really didn't smell good.

"I'll go wash right away!"

"It's washed spotlessly clean!"

After saying that, she ignored the pain in her hand, cheered, and turned to run upstairs.

That silhouette.

It is full of vitality and hope.

Qin Yu watched her figure disappear at the top of the stairs, and the smile on his lips gradually faded.

He turned around.

Looking through the driver's cab window, I saw the still raging snowstorm outside.

Wang Long and Zhang Hu are dead.

The internal problems have been eliminated.

Li Ruobing has returned home.

The team is more focused now.

"Next."

"It's time to go and meet that so-called 'Storm Core'."

Qin Yu's eyes deepened.

The system not only gave me a reward when I cleared out the beast tide.

A special hint was also given.

At the heart of this frigid storm lies an S-class treasure chest.

That was a gift from natural disaster.

It is also a reward for the strong.

"Yao Xue, Yao Qian."

Qin Yu picked up the walkie-talkie, his voice steady.

"Clean up the battlefield."

"Ready to set sail."

"Let's go to the eye of the storm and take a vacation."

The two sisters' clear voices came through the walkie-talkie:

"Got it, honey!"

"Okay! Brother Qin Yu!"

Qin Yu put down the walkie-talkie.

He lit another cigarette.

In this frozen world.

Someone is trying to survive.

Some people are waiting to die.

And Qin Yu.

He is establishing his new order.

……

The second floor.

The guest room door was pushed open.

A wave of warmth washed over me.

Li Ruobing stood blankly at the door, looking at the scene before her, feeling as if she were dreaming.

A pink carpet.

A soft, large bed.

A small, warm yellow lamp sits on the bedside table.

A faint scent of lavender wafts through the air.

This is hardly a refuge in the apocalypse.

This is practically a princess room in a five-star hotel!

She walked into the room, trembling.

Push open the bathroom door.

Turn on the tap.

"Splash—"

Steaming hot water gushed out.

There really is hot water!

Li Ruobing reached out and caught the handful of hot water.

Tears welled up in my eyes once again.

This temperature.

That's so true.

Too extravagant.

She looked at herself in the mirror.

Although I looked a bit disheveled, and there were still tear stains on my face.

But those eyes were filled with an unprecedented light.

That is hope for the future.

It was especially for that man...

worship.

Even, a fanatical belief.

"Qin Yu..."

She murmured the name softly.

This name is etched deep into my bones.

Starting today.

This life belongs to him.

She took off her tattered, dirty clothes, went barefoot, and walked into the shower room.

Hot water was poured over his head.

It washes away the physical fatigue and also washes away the weakness of the past.

The steam is rising.

Li Ruobing closed her eyes, a captivating smile playing on her lips.

Alive.

very nice.

Follow him.

very nice.
