Manyu immediately said, “Then let’s go to my place. Everyone there is very friendly.”
Fu Shinan hesitated for a moment and replied, “Alright.”
The two of them drove to the location agreed upon by Manyu and the male tenant. Manyu introduced him, saying, “This is Sun Han. And this is my classmate, Fu Shinan.”
“Hello,” Fu Shinan extended her hand first.
Sun Han adjusted the broken frame of his glasses and quickly shook hands with Fu Shinan, saying, “Hello, Miss Fu.”
Upon seeing that he only had a few cans of canned food and some packets of instant noodles that were already damp, Fu Shinan immediately said, “I have some food in my car. Let’s go back and give them something to eat before we go out to find more.”
Sun Han didn’t hesitate either. He had little combat ability and poor eyesight, so finding these supplies was already a challenge for him.
Fu Shinan handed him some bread, and Sun Han expressed his gratitude profusely. They had been surviving on a bag of rice all these days, and without fire, they could only soak the rice to eat. Seeing so much food now, he was nearly moved to tears.
Watching Sun Han eat messily, Fu Shinan sighed. In a while, everyone’s situation would only become more difficult than it is now. Sometimes she thought that if she were to die, it would be a kind of luxury. Immediately, she startled herself with such a negative thought. After all, she had been reborn once before. How could she not cherish life?
As they drove past collapsed buildings, a thought suddenly emerged in Fu Shinan’s mind. She not only wanted to live well but also wanted to create the strongest fortress, the safest base! However, without Ji Zan’s assistance, the chances of success would likely decrease significantly, but she had no regrets. In fact, even until now, she didn’t fully understand why she had left so resolutely. Perhaps there was a hint of an answer in her heart, but Fu Shinan didn’t want to dwell on it.
After about half an hour, Fu Shinan arrived at the underground basement that Manyu had mentioned. It was well sealed and didn’t leak water, approximately around thirty square meters in size.
The elderly professor’s last name was Feng, and he was friendly and talkative. He used to be a professor at the Medical School. Upon learning that Fu Shinan was a doctor, they engaged in lively conversations. The supermarket manager was a twenty-five-year-old young man who was cheerful. However, he had injured his leg while escaping and was still in the healing stage, unable to move around much.
Compared to them, Fu Shinan seemed rather silent. After everyone shared their experiences, they discussed the current situation.
Upon learning that it had been raining for over ten days and most things had gotten wet, Professor Feng became even more worried. He said, “It seems that it won’t be long before we run out of food. Supplies have to be produced, but now, who can reproduce them?”
Fu Shinan sighed as well. It was indeed very difficult to survive like this—avoiding zombie attacks while trying to secure food was a challenging problem.
Xia Dong, the supermarket manager, massaged his leg and remained optimistic. He said, “Don’t lose hope! It has only been a little over a month. We should still be able to find food! My legs can take a few more steps. Tomorrow, let’s split up and search. With more people, we’ll have more strength, and we will definitely find something to eat.”
Manyu nodded and said, “That’s right, Professor Feng. As long as we are alive, we will make sure you don’t go hungry. But let’s give Xia Dong a couple more days to rest. As Professor Feng mentioned, we don’t have medicinal herbs, and what you’ve already recovered is the limit. If you push yourself to walk too soon, there may be complications. At this time, having a healthy body is more important than anything else. Take your time to recover, and then you can contribute.”
Sun Han also agreed with this approach. After all, there were only four of them, and Xia Dong was a valuable labor force. He hoped that Xia Dong would recover well.
Xia Dong looked at his leg and continued massaging it, hoping for a speedy recovery.
Watching this harmonious scene, Fu Shinan felt her mind relax for the first time. However, before she could relax for long, they heard the sound of someone banging on the door from outside.
A familiar male voice shouted, “Miss Fu.”
Everyone fell silent instantly, and all eyes turned to Fu Shinan. Manyu whispered, “Is it Ji Zan?”
Fu Shinan shook her head; it was Cao Yong. How did he know she was here? Could he predict everything? Then why did he want to harm Ji Zan and the others? And how did they arrive? She hadn’t heard any car sounds along the way.
Fu Shinan was puzzled and signaled everyone not to speak, observing what Cao Yong intended to do.
Cao Yong continued shouting, “Miss Fu, don’t be surprised. With my abilities, finding you is easy, and you don’t have to doubt it—I won’t harm anyone, including you. We all know how important your abilities are, and we can still collaborate, just like before..”
