You say the cataclysm only comes after you've cleared the entire dungeon?

The night was unusually peaceful.

It seems that people have grown tired of arguing and crying, and have resigned themselves to reality.

In apartment 3703, Lou Fengyue put away all the candles and replaced them with a small nightlight she had found in a shopping mall warehouse.

With batteries installed, it can last a long time and is much safer than candles.

"Yueyue," Lou Yunzheng sat on the sofa and took his sister's wrist, "After the rain stops, can you bring Xiaoshuang over? Her family isn't in Linjiang City, and it's too dangerous for her to stay in that rented apartment all alone."

Seeing her brother's almost pleading expression, Lou Fengyue pursed her lips and remained silent for a long time.

In the game of natural disasters, she had seen couples stabbing each other in the back over a piece of bread.

Shen Xiaoshuang is just Lou Yunzheng's girlfriend, and a rather selfish one at that. Who can guarantee she'll be trustworthy in a desperate situation?

If Shen Xiaoshuang finds out that her family has a lot of supplies, will she betray them when her life is threatened?

Lou Fengyue sighed softly and sat down beside her brother: "Brother, I need time to think about it. You practice controlling your abilities first, and we'll talk about it after the rain stops."

This was the only way she could comfort her brother for the time being.

She was unsure whether her brother would risk his life to find Shen Xiaoshuang if she didn't agree to bring her over.

Or, if Shen Xiaoshuang were to die, would her brother resent her?

She couldn't predict what the outside world would look like after the rain stopped.

Perhaps by then, Shen Xiaoshuang's problems will no longer need her to solve them.

The night was as dark as ink, and thunder roared incessantly.

Lou Yunzheng lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, his mind filled with thoughts of Shen Xiaoshuang, who lived alone in the rented apartment.

The area was a mixed bag, and the wooden doors to the houses were so thin that an adult male could kick them open with one foot.

It was only the second day after the natural disaster. The people who looted things weren't violent; they just knocked on the door, and left when there was no response.

But in a few days, food became increasingly scarce, and in order to survive, someone would inevitably "sweep" the entire floor to collect supplies.

What will Shen Xiaoshuang, who is powerless to even kill a chicken, do then?

In the second bedroom, Lou Fengyue was also awake, leaning against the headboard. The pale light from her phone screen reflected on her face, making her calm eyes shine even brighter.

Liu Wu sent a message.

The old lady in 3704 didn't make it; she passed away an hour ago.

His daughter's fever had subsided, and he had cooked some white porridge for her. She seemed unusually energetic, which made him a little worried.

The fever subsided and he survived; these two things combined suggest that he has likely awakened supernatural abilities.

Lou Fengyue quickly replied: I know a little about medicine, would it be convenient for me to come over and take a look now?

Liu Wu: Convenient! Of course it's convenient! Thank you for your help!

Lou Fengyue got out of bed, changed her clothes, put on a baseball cap and a mask, and went to 3706.

Liu Wu had already opened the front door and was standing at the door waiting for her.

"Hey girl, come in quickly." Liu Wu looked energetic and refreshed, showing none of the dejection he had shown yesterday morning.

Lou Fengyue entered the room and saw a gentle woman feeding porridge to a little girl.

The little girl looked over, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes, and immediately scurried into the corner of the sofa, curling up into a ball.

"She might be a little shy." Liu Wu scratched his head awkwardly, then said to his daughter, "Sweetie, this lady gave you the medicine; you should thank her."

The little girl buried her face in her knees and didn't say anything.

Lou Fengyue didn't mind. She walked over, squatted down beside the sofa, and took the little girl's wrist.

Sure enough, the system panel popped up.

[Sensory ability detected. Copy immediately?]

[Copy.]

Lou Fengyue held the little girl's hand, and in just a few seconds, she felt an energy different from lightning powers surge into her body.

[Copy successful. Congratulations, host, you have gained sensory abilities.]

Perception is a rare type of ability. Although it does not have combat power or practical use, it can detect abnormal movements in the surroundings and prevent danger in advance.

It can be called the strongest support in battle.

The range of perception varies depending on the physical abilities of the person with the ability. A four-year-old girl's perception range can only cover a radius of about ten meters.

Lou Fengyue released her grip, stood up, turned to Liu Wu, and took a fully charged power bank from her pocket, handing it to him: "The child is fine. Keep your phone on, and notify me immediately if anything happens in the building. This power bank should last until the rain stops."

Liu Wu accepted the gift with both hands, bowing repeatedly with tears of gratitude: "Thank you so much! If it weren't for your help, my daughter might be dead. Don't worry, I will definitely pass on all the information from the building to you!"

Lou Fengyue scanned the room. It was pitch black all around, with only the occasional flash of lightning that pierced through the clouds outside the glass window, bringing a fleeting glimpse of light.

She put her hands in her coat pockets, took out a few white candles, and handed them to Liu Wu: "The child is afraid of the dark, light them, and remember to ventilate the room."

"Thank you!" Liu Wu accepted the gift with both hands and respectfully saw Lou Fengyue out the door.

The door closed, and Liu Wu lit a candle in the corner of the living room. The faint light illuminated a corner, but also dispelled the coldness of the rainy night and the fear in his heart.

As his wife continued feeding the child porridge, she couldn't help but turn to him and ask, "Who is that girl? She seems quite composed."

"The girl who lives in 3703, it seems her family has come to visit her these past few days. Having family around naturally gives her more confidence." Liu Wu sat next to his wife and gently put his arm around her shoulder. "No matter what happens, as long as the three of us are together, there's no difficulty we can't overcome."

His wife smiled gently, her eyes revealing an indescribable happiness. "Mmm."

Meanwhile, Lou Fengyue returned to 3703.

As soon as I entered, I saw a dark figure sitting on the sofa. Lightning flashed outside the window, and the blinding white light illuminated my brother's chiseled profile.

"Brother, why aren't you asleep yet?" Lou Fengyue walked to his side, and only when she got closer could she see his lifeless eyes. "Are you worried about Shen Xiaoshuang?"

Lou Yunzheng lowered his eyes, clenched his hands together, and gave a low "hmm".

Lou Fengyue pursed her lips, took out an ice pop from her spatial storage, and handed it to him: "Want something sweet?"

Lou Yunzheng turned to look at his sister, forced a smile that looked more like a grimace, took the popsicle, unwrapped it, and popped it into his mouth.

The screen on the table was lit up, showing the chat interface with Shen Xiaoshuang.

Lou Fengyue didn't shy away from picking it up and reading it directly.

Shen Xiaoshuang kept crying and complaining to Lou Yunzheng.

It was raining heavily outside, and the glass windows rattled loudly in the strong wind. She was terrified and huddled under the covers with a kitchen knife for self-defense under her pillow, unable to sleep at all.

The rented room had no electricity, there was no natural gas, the induction cooker couldn't be used, and she couldn't even boil water, so she could only eat instant noodles.

I heard the sounds of smashing and looting coming from upstairs. It sounded like a few thugs were fighting over a few packets of instant noodles, and they were saying they would form an alliance to rob other people's food tomorrow.

She asked Lou Yunzheng when he would be able to go back to be with her.

After reading through all the chat logs, Lou Fengyue frowned unhappily.

She understands that when people are extremely afraid, they subconsciously seek out someone they can trust and rely on.

But with the rain pouring down outside and the entire city submerged in floodwaters, Shen Xiaoshuang didn't ask a single question about Lou Yunzheng's condition.

This is no couple; Shen Xiaoshuang is clearly a leech clinging to Lou Yunzheng.

They survive by relying on the nutrients he provides unilaterally!
