The water level rose day by day. By the third day of the torrential rain, the water depth in the residential complex approached one ter.
The relentless downpour extinguished the hopes of countless survivors.
Survivors on lower floors were forced to self-rescue. With the elevators now out of service, they could only use the stairs, but many stairwell entrances were blocked by furniture. They had to expend their already limited energy moving the obstacles away.
The water surface slowed the zombies' movent significantly. So survivors seized this opportunity, crafting simple makeshift boats to escape the complex.
The Long-Legged Woman was among them.
She had sohow obtained food, enduring until now with enough strength to flee.
All survivors in the complex witnessed her escape, but none held much hope for her success. The water wasn't deep enough yet—zombies could still move. Waiting until the water reached several ters depth would have been safer.
The most critical factor was how much strength the Long-Legged Woman had left after starving for so long?
She'd likely exhaust herself just escaping the complex, then get caught by zombies and beco one of them.
Li Xuan watched as the Long-Legged Woman gradually disappeared from view, a slight smile curling at the corners of his mouth.
Ever since obtaining the intelligence about the Little White Snake, he had been contemplating how to intercept it.
He still didn't know whether Huo Shuangshuang had found the Little White Snake yet.
There were three possibilities regarding the snake's location: first, it had already been found by Huo Shuangshuang and placed in the settlent; second, it hadn't been found yet and was hiding in the room where Huo Shuangshuang raised it; third, it had been found but hadn't been delivered to the settlent yet, currently moving with Huo Shuangshuang.
Later, the Long-Legged Woman ca to his door, begging for so food.
Compared to over a month ago, she had beco much thinner. Her once enticing plump thighs had turned slender, transforming into the type more popular among younger n.
It had to be said—the Long-Legged Woman was truly beautiful. When slightly plump, she was exceptional; now thinner, she resembled a model.
This ti, Li Xuan let the Long-Legged Woman enter.
Not because he preferred the slender type, but because he wanted to use her to gather information for him.
Ti returned to two days earlier
Yun Lan, the Long-Legged Woman, entered in a daze. She had prepared herself for rejection from Li Xuan, coming this ti just to try her luck. She couldn't hold on any longer—she had reached her limit.
Entering the living room, Yun Lan's first sight was the pile of chocolate and instant noodles in the corner, along with bagged chicken legs and dried duck. Before the apocalypse, she rarely ate such things to maintain her figure. Now seeing them, her throat itched uncontrollably, saliva filling her mouth. She desperately wanted to shove the food into her mouth imdiately, even if it tore her throat.
Li Xuan observed Yun Lan's expressions and movents, inviting her to sit.
"Please, have a seat first."
"Oh, okay."
Yun Lan sat down nervously, her eyes constantly drifting toward the food in the corner.
"Sothing to drink? Cola or mineral water?"
"Could I have both?"
"Of course."
Li Xuan took out a bottle of cola and mineral water, placing them on the table while quietly watching Yun Lan drink eagerly.
The sugar in the cola gave Yun Lan an indescribable sense of happiness, making her whole body tremble slightly as she greedily swallowed every drop.
After finishing everything, Yun Lan barely ca back to her senses, murmuring, "So delicious."
"I can be your woman. As long as your thods aren't too extre, I can accept anything. Just don't let go hungry." Yun Lan said while taking off her jacket. Before coming, she had washed herself thoroughly with rainwater, clean and fresh with the scent of shower gel.
"I want you to do sothing else." Li Xuan said.
Yun Lan froze for a mont. She couldn't help her surprise—she knew her own situation best. Besides this enticing body, she had nothing else worthwhile to offer.
Had Li Xuan invited her in not because he grew tired of that woman with the beautiful voice and wanted to change tastes?
"What thing?"
"How did you survive this past month?" Li Xuan asked.
He was actually quite surprised by Yun Lan's visit.
He had thought she escaped long ago. After all, with no food at ho, her only way to survive would be to go out searching.
When deducing the Giantization Fruit intelligence earlier, he speculated that Yun Lan died before the second version, which was why Yang Taozi acted alone in the second version. Otherwise, given Yang Taozi's possessiveness, he would never have let Yun Lan go.
Yun Lan blurted out, "I didn't sell my body. Besides my dead husband, no one has slept with ."
"That's not what I ant." Li Xuan said.
Yun Lan collected herself for a mont before explaining, "After Yang Taozi died, I wanted to search other rooms for food, but I acted too late. Every room had already been scavenged by complex survivors. I only found so leftover food.
Later, I discovered mushrooms growing under the bed in the north-facing bedroom of unit 1602. My phone still had power then, so I searched and confird the mushrooms weren't poisonous. I ate a few, kept most, and started growing mushrooms following online tutorials."
Li Xuan understood, "So that's how. You survived by eating mushrooms. Did your cultivation succeed?"
"Half succeeded. At first they grew well, but later they stopped. Otherwise I wouldn't be this starved." Yun Lan said.
Li Xuan changed the subject—he didn't care about mushroom cultivation techniques. "I need you to escape. When the water level rises enough to restrict zombie movent, escape and find the rescue teams. Help look for soone."
"? Escape? Wouldn't sleeping with you be easier?" Yun Lan said, pointing at herself.
"As paynt, you can eat here for two days—as much as you want. After completing the task, I'll give you plenty of food and water." Li Xuan offered.
Yun Lan's eyes flickered, "Aren't you afraid I won't co back after finding the rescue teams? If I reach the settlent, I won't lack food or drink. Your offer wouldn't be attractive anymore."
"The settlent has many people. Sooner or later food will run short. You can live there first, then co to when supplies dwindle." Li Xuan said.
Yun Lan t Li Xuan's gaze, frowning slightly, unable to decide.
"Who do you want to find?"
"A girl nad Huo Lingling. She has a sister nad Huo Shuangshuang. I want to know whether Huo Shuangshuang rescued Huo Lingling." Li Xuan stated.
"Don't you have Huo Lingling's contact information?"
"I do, but I can't reach her. To be honest, I'm Huo Lingling's boyfriend. We planned to announce our relationship in October, but the apocalypse suddenly separated us. I'm very worried about her and want to bring her here." Li Xuan said with complete seriousness.
Yun Xiuzhi, standing on the television, rolled her eyes. She didn't believe Li Xuan had a girlfriend—that Huo Lingling woman must have sothing special about her, at least being very beautiful, for Li Xuan to make his move.
Hah~ n~
Yun Xiuzhi thought with a tinge of jealousy.
Yun Lan raised her hand, "Let think about it."
"If you're worried about Huo Lingling, why don't you go rescue her yourself?"
Li Xuan shook his head, "I already looked for her but couldn't find her. Rember? I only returned to the complex on the second day of the apocalypse."
