While others are struggling to survive and slaying zombies in the apocalypse, I'm hoarding supp

Cheng Rang led Bai Yu to the research institute's office building. Although it was called a research institute, it was actually just a one-story administrative area with about four or five rooms.

The research institute mainly occupies the basement and the ground floor. The basement houses various machines and serves as a laboratory, while the ground floor is used as an office area.

He grabbed a staff member and asked, "Is there someone here named Xiaokang? Where is he?"

On the way there, Cheng learned more about her, and he later found out that Xiao Kang, whom she mentioned, was actually her apprentice.

Now everyone else has risen to leadership positions, while this silly girl is still just an ordinary researcher.

Cheng Rang's aggressive demeanor, coupled with the group of imposing figures following behind him, caused the person being pulled to retreat in fear.

"He should be in the office."

"Take me there."

Bai Yu glanced at Cheng Rang cautiously. She didn't know what Cheng Rang had said on the way, but he stopped her from speaking.

He said that what she said would make him furious, so she decided not to say anything. She had finally met an acquaintance and didn't want him to die.

Arriving at the office door and looking at the separate office, Cheng Rang wondered how much credit he had stolen from that silly girl to get it.

The captain just sent him a message saying that the final research author for the intelligent disinfection device at the base gate is this person named Xiaokang.

The door was kicked open, and the person who was taking a nap inside was so startled that they jumped up from the sofa.

"Who is it? Do you want to die? Can't you even be quiet when you come in?"

"What do you want? Is this okay?"

Cheng Rang used vines to tie Xiao Kang up and hang him in the air, increasing the force of the binding.

Xiao Kang's face was contorted with pain. "Who are you? What do you want? I'm the deputy director of the research institute. How dare you treat me like this? Aren't you afraid of being held accountable by your superiors?"

"Oh, so you've risen to the position of deputy director. That's quite a high-ranking official." Hearing his words, Cheng Rang became even angrier. This position originally belonged to the young girl.

Bai Yu covered her mouth and gently tugged at Cheng Rang's sleeve.

"Mmm...mmm..." Can I speak now?

Cheng Rang looked at his silly and adorable appearance and was amused by his annoyance. This silly girl really knows how to ruin the atmosphere.

Xiao Jie never interrupted Luo Ning when he was showing off.

"Speak!"

Bai Yu released her hand from her mouth, phew! She was suffocating. She had wanted to speak earlier, but she was afraid of upsetting Cheng Rang, so she covered her mouth with her hand.

"Cheng Rang, don't kill him, give him a beating first."

Bai Yu's reaction was a little slow, but after all these years, she wasn't completely oblivious.

She was just a little timid and scared, especially after the apocalypse, when she could no longer contact her parents. She was afraid that one day she would die quietly outside.

So she can only pretend not to know many things and deliberately not investigate them. Anyway, she only likes research and doesn't like being a leader at all.

But now that Cheng Rang is here, he will definitely protect her. He is so much smarter than her, and he can definitely handle many things better than her.

Cheng Rang looked at her in disbelief upon hearing her words. Had this silly girl suddenly turned into a clever one?

He thought she would make him release the man.

"Teacher, is this your friend? Tell him to put me down quickly, let's talk this out." Li Kang struggled to speak.

He knew that what he had done had definitely been exposed, but as long as he got him down and the door was closed, he was sure he could appease the fool.

Once this fool is appeased, the others won't be a problem. After all, in the apocalypse, who has so much kindness to spread around?

If anyone wants to meddle, they can just spend a little more crystal core points.

Bai Yu snorted coldly, "Xiao Kang, I will no longer trust you. I trust Cheng Rang. Cheng Rang would never harm me." Although she was still unsure what bad things Xiao Kang had done to her.

But the tacit understanding they'd built up over childhood told Bai Yu that she would never be at a disadvantage if she stood by Cheng Rang's side.

Luo Ning sat on the sofa, took out a handful of sunflower seeds and started cracking them open. Life was so dull, he had to find some fun for himself.

These people in front of me are quite amusing. I never expected that the annoying Cheng Rang would actually have someone who stands firmly on his side.

Sigh, Cheng Rang is lucky.

Everyone thought the same thing: how could Cheng Rang, that heartless man, know such a cute girl?

Hearing Bai Yu's words, Cheng Rang felt much better. Fortunately, the little girl hadn't forgotten what he had told her before.

He had told her when she was little that she should always trust him and that he would never hurt her.

Xiao Jie took out snacks, fruits, and milk tea from his bracelet space. The snacks were homemade and much healthier. The fruits were washed and cut into small pieces, and there was also a delicate little fork next to them. The milk tea was brewed by Xiao Jie himself, without adding too much sugar, and was only slightly sweet at room temperature.

Luo Ning took a sip of her milk tea, already used to this scene.

Liang Xiao's mouth was slightly open. Although he knew that Xiao Jie served the big boss very well, it seemed that it had never reached this level before.

The bracelet's space was always ready with food and drinks. I reached out and touched a cookie. Unexpectedly, it was just as cloyingly sweet as the ones sold before the apocalypse. The sweetness was just right, so I touched another one.

Shen Yi felt a little disappointed as he watched Xiao Jie's actions. Although he knew he was not worthy to stand by her side, he still felt sad when she actually had someone else by her side.

Zhou Jibai saw Liang Xiao take two cookies, and Luo Ning didn't react much, so he took one too.

There's so much food on the table, they should get a share too, just like when we went on missions together before.

He could always tell whether there was any food for them based on how much food Xiao Jie brought out.

He put the cookie in his mouth, frowned, and wondered why it wasn't sweet anymore.

Xiao Jie used to make things that were very extreme, which Luo Ning liked, and he liked them too.

But I still swallowed the food in my mouth. Although it wasn't as sweet as before, it was still delicious.

Among all the players, only Fu Xing and Luo Ning were watching the opposing team most intently.

Fu Xing was worried that Cheng Rang might kill that person.

Luo Ning was looking forward to a good show. They had been waiting for so long, why hadn't Cheng Rang killed that person yet?

Cheng Rang controlled the vines, whipping them onto Li Kang's body again and again.

The vines were covered in thorns, and it was so hot that Li Kang wasn't wearing many clothes. Every time he was whipped, he would scream.

He even took the time to apologize to Bai Yu, "Teacher, I know I was wrong. Please tell him to stop hitting me. I'll approve your application materials immediately. Please don't hit me anymore."

Looking at the onlookers outside, Li Kang's pitiful screams grew louder and louder.

The onlookers looked at Bai Yu with disdain, thinking he was actually threatening his superiors for the sake of applying for materials.

With resources so scarce right now, why should she be given priority? Anyway, she spends all her time in the lab and hasn't come up with anything.

Luo Ning glanced at the people around him with amusement. More and more characters were joining, and the plot was becoming more and more exciting.

Upon hearing Li Kang's words, Cheng Rang's expression grew even colder, and he increased the force of his whip.

Bai Yu didn't understand the meaning behind his words, but still glared angrily at Li Kang. "Xiao Kang, don't say anything more, or I'll have Cheng Rang hit you harder. Cheng Rang definitely won't hit the wrong person. If he hits you, it must be your fault. You'd better not say anything now. Let Cheng Rang hit you and vent your anger, then everything will be fine."

Bai Yu's last few words carried the meaning of sharing her experience, which was also an experience she had gained since childhood.
