Survival in the apocalypse, teammate Xia Shiyu at the start

He then added, with a hint of guilt, two more words: "Try my best..."

On the other hand, Shen Zhao didn't take a long shower.

After all, so many people are still waiting downstairs.

After quickly rinsing off and having Qiongmei scrub my back, I got dressed and left the bathroom.

"Alright, let's get ready for dinner."

He carried Qiong Mei, who had become weak and limp after moving for a short while, back to the living room on the first floor and greeted everyone.

"Come over here, everyone! Tonight I'll treat you all to authentic Sichuan spicy hot pot!"

Sawamura Sayuri watched with envy and admiration as he took out one fresh ingredient after another from his spatial backpack.

As expected of Shen Jun, who topped the leaderboard in the previous game.

She and her daughter used to only be able to afford the cheapest, most filling energy bars, and they never dared to waste their points on redeeming food.

Soon after, the women's gasps filled the living room.

They were all burned by the spiciness of the hot pot.

Shen Zhao smiled broadly, having deliberately prepared a pot of pure red broth instead of a divided pot.

After a lively dinner, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

Before they parted ways in the corridor upstairs, Shen Zhao gave Mrs. Sawamura a special look.

The beautiful married woman nodded quickly, her face flushed with shyness.

Return to the room.

Qiong took out her nightgown and was about to change into it when she put it down and turned to look at Shen Zhao: "Brother, I want to take a bath."

She was sweating a lot from the spiciness of the hot pot, and felt sticky all over.

If she doesn't take a shower, her brother might smell her unpleasant odor and start to dislike her, which would be terrible.

Shen Zhao would certainly not refuse such a small favor.

He immediately picked up the silver-haired girl from the bed and carried her outside: "Okay, brother will take Qiong to take a bath now, so she'll smell nice all over."

Chapter 79 An Unexpected Encounter Between Mother and Daughter, and a Clue!

Shen Zhao carried Qiong Mei into the bathroom.

The silver-haired girl stretched out her hands to him and said coquettishly, "Brother, help me take off my clothes."

Shen Zhao casually refused: "Take it off yourself, brother needs to prepare the bathwater."

The little girl had no choice but to pout and do it herself.

Under Shen Zhao's close gaze, Kasugano Sora removed her clothes one by one.

Her slender white fingers unbuttoned her white shirt one button at a time, then took off her black skirt with its layers of ruffles.

Her petite body was covered only by a pair of sheer black pantyhose, encasing the girl's slender legs.

Bathed in the dim light of the bathroom, her milky-white skin, covered by a thin, semi-transparent black silk stocking, was coated with an alluring sheen.

The silver-haired girl bent down and pulled down the pantyhose that had been raised to her waist.

"Qiong, wait!"

Shen Zhao spoke, his voice slightly hoarse.

Qiong looked up at him in confusion: "Brother, what's wrong?"

Looking at the pantyhose that were half-pulled down to the girl's thighs, he licked his lips: "Let's leave it like this for now, we'll continue later."

After a long time.

Shen Zhao helped Qiong put on her nightgown, then carried the little girl, who had fallen into a deep sleep from exhaustion, out of the bathroom.

After carrying Sora into the room, placing her on the bed, and covering her with a blanket, he went out and headed towards the room of Sawamura and her daughter.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door slowly and deliberately.

Sawamura Sayuri's voice immediately came from inside: "Is that you, Shen-kun?"

"It's me," Shen Zhao replied. "Mrs. Sawamura, are you resting?"

"Not yet, Mr. Shen, please come in."

The door was opened as soon as he finished speaking.

The 2B station behind the door moved aside to make way for him.

Shen Zhao nodded to her, but didn't go in. He just stood at the door and looked at the Sawamura mother and daughter sitting on the bed.

Sawamura Sayuri's face flushed with unease and shock.

Eriri looked completely puzzled.

Shen Zhao said calmly, "Mrs. Sawamura, please come out for a moment. I have some important questions to ask you."

Upon hearing this, Eriri couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Shen Zhao, is there anything you want to ask Mom?"

"About the monsters you encountered before," Shen Zhao replied seriously. "Miss Eriri, you'd better not listen, lest you have nightmares tonight."

"Tch, I'm not that cowardly!"

Eriri said indignantly.

Shen Zhao deliberately said, "Then I'll talk to Mrs. Sawamura right here."

Seeing that her daughter was about to stubbornly agree, Mrs. Sawamura interrupted her first: "Shen-kun, let's talk outside."

Eriri secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She thought angrily, "Mom still loves me the most. That Shen Zhao only knows how to bully me! I will never remind him about the deal again!"

Although she had only considered reminding the other party before, it could be considered a reminder in a way.

This time, I won't even entertain the thought of reminding them!

Shen Zhao, of course, had no idea what Eriri was thinking, and went along with it, saying, "Then let's go outside and talk."

She paused, then added meaningfully, "By the way, Miss Eriri, there's no need to wait for Mrs. Sawamura. We might talk quite late."

"This matter is very important. I need to ask Mrs. Sawamura carefully and confirm it repeatedly."

Sawamura Sayuri felt her face burning and quickly got out of bed, walking briskly towards the door.

When she reached the door and felt that her face wasn't so noticeable anymore, she turned back and said, "Eri, go to sleep early. You don't need to wait for Mom."

Eriri didn't suspect anything at all: "I understand, Mom. You should come back and rest early too."

The door clicked shut.

The girl untied her two long golden ponytails, slid down, and lay flat on the bed.

She stared blankly at the ceiling with her azure eyes for a while, then pulled the blanket over her face.

"Ugh, this is so annoying, I'm going to sleep!"

A little while later, Eriri suddenly sat up in bed, clutching her stomach with a slightly pained expression.

"Oh no, I ate something too spicy."

The hot pot was so delicious that even though it was incredibly spicy, she couldn't resist eating quite a bit.

Now they have to pay the price for not controlling their mouths.

She jumped out of bed quickly and ran outside without even putting on her shoes.

"You idiot, open the door! I need to go to the toilet!"

The white-haired beauty who was standing by the door opened the door for her.

Eriri said "thank you" and rushed into the corridor like a gust of wind.

2B followed her out of the room.

The commander's mission for her was to protect Sawamura and her daughter, and the white-haired girl would not let her guard down even when they were inside the house.

Just then, Eriri, who had rushed to the bathroom and opened the door, suddenly stopped.

He stood frozen there like a solidified statue.

The girl stared wide-eyed at the scene in the bathroom, her pupils constricted.

"Mom, Mr. Shen Zhao... what are you... doing?"

Shen Zhao stared in astonishment at Eriri, who suddenly pushed open the door, and quickly noticed something unusual about her.

He immediately understood after seeing the spicy hot pot he had for dinner.

The other person has an upset stomach and diarrhea.

Thinking of this, Shen Zhao's lips twitched involuntarily.

Isn't this a case of him getting himself into trouble?

I should have ordered a hot pot with two broths earlier, or taken Mrs. Sawamura downstairs to discuss things.

Alternatively, you could lock the bathroom door from the inside.

Unfortunately, he failed to achieve any of those things.

Shen Zhao coughed lightly and calmly asked, "Eri, do you need to go to the bathroom?"

Eriri suddenly realized what she had come out for, and felt a churning in her stomach, and her legs began to tremble.

My eyes instinctively looked towards the toilet at the back of the bathroom.

Seeing this, Shen Zhao turned Mrs. Sawamura around so they were facing each other, hugged her in his arms, and carried her out of the bathroom with both hands.

She brushed past Eriri, who was standing frozen at the door.

Sawamura Sayuri buried her face in Shen Zhao's chest, not daring to look at her daughter who was so close to her.

Shen Zhao reminded her, "Eri, if you have diarrhea, you should go inside quickly."

Eriri gritted her teeth, disregarding everything else, rushed into the bathroom, and slammed the door shut.

In the bathroom.

Eriri sat on the toilet, staring at the door, her eyes practically spitting fire.

'Why did Mom and Mr. Shen Zhao...do this...'

The physical pain from the diarrhea, combined with the emotional anguish from the recent discovery, overwhelmed the girl, causing her azure eyes to mist over with tears.

She yelled irritably at the door, "It's so noisy!"

The noise subsided for two seconds, then started again.

Her rumbling stomach finally calmed down, and Eriri couldn't wait a second longer before heading outside.

Just as I reached the bathroom door and placed my hand on the doorknob, I heard a man's smiling voice coming from just across the door.

"Eri, don't open the door yet."

I am very clear about what is happening outside.

Eriri stood at the door, her head drooping, her once radiant blonde hair seemingly losing its luster.

Much later.

The bathroom door stopped banging.

A man's lazy voice came: "Alright, Eriri, you can come out now."

Eriri ground her little tiger teeth and pulled open the door.

Outside the door, her mother sat slumped on the floor of the corridor with her back to her, her two ponytails swaying back and forth.

When Shen Zhao saw the girl open the door, he raised his hand to greet her: "Are you alright, Eriri? Do you need some antidiarrheal medicine?"

His backpack was fully stocked with all sorts of medicines; having plenty of points meant he could live a carefree life.

Eriri completely ignored his good intentions and glared at the man angrily: "Why are you doing this!"

The man smiled brightly: "Because I like Eriri!"
