Apocalyptic Disaster: The King of Soldiers' Ultimate Pampering

17: Chapter 17 This is too valuableYe Qingqing looked at the extra box in her hands, then at Huo Sixian, feeling as if a heartstring had been tugged.

This was the first time in three years that someone had shown Ye Qingqing such kindness.

”T-this is too valuable, I can’t accept it.”

Ye Qingqing felt that Huo Sixian might not yet realize what these supplies represented. In a short while, let alone a whole box, even a single pack of instant noodles would be extremely precious.

Therefore, Ye Qingqing did not want to owe Huo Sixian a favor.

Moreover... there were several men behind Huo Sixian who looked like trained fighters. Ye Qingqing didn’t think that if these people developed malicious intent in the future, they would remember that Huo Sixian had given her a box of supplies today.

So no matter what, Ye Qingqing would not accept Huo Sixian’s supplies.

”You can’t go out right now. You’re a girl living alone; what will you do if you run out of food?”

”The few of us grown men can still go out to find supplies, but how are you going to get out?”

Seeing Ye Qingqing refuse, Huo Sixian couldn’t help but feel a flicker of confusion, thinking that Ye Qingqing hadn’t grasped the current situation yet.

He forced the box onto Ye Qingqing. Looking at the box of supplies, Ye Qingqing took out her phone, wanting to scan a QR code to pay Huo Sixian.

”How much is it? I’ll transfer the money to you.”

But hearing Ye Qingqing’s words, Huo Sixian simply turned and left, diving back into the elevator area to continue moving supplies.

Ye Qingqing glanced into the elevator and noticed that Huo Sixian and his group had quite a lot of supplies, all packed in boxes. However, she couldn’t see what was inside because they were very tightly sealed.

However, one of the boxes was accidentally knocked over during the move. Ye Qingqing heard a crisp clinking sound from inside, like metal hitting metal.

”Be careful, these things can’t handle being bumped,” Huo Sixian said, a hint of nervousness appearing on his face when he saw that box drop to the floor.

Ye Qingqing’s heart skipped a beat. She felt like she knew what was in that box of supplies. Her intuition told her that these people were not someone she could afford to provoke.

So, Ye Qingqing took a stack of cash from her space, placed it by the elevator door, and carried the box of supplies back home.

Huo Sixian was right. Ye Qingqing had just moved in. In the eyes of others, she was a new resident who had no supplies or anything. On one hand, this was a good smokescreen in the Post-Apocalyptic World, but on the other hand, it led to situations like the one with Huo Sixian.

If Ye Qingqing didn’t accept Huo Sixian’s box of supplies, it would arouse suspicion, because in this Typhoon weather, it was indeed impossible to go out and buy food.

After running back to her room, Ye Qingqing patted her cheeks. Why did she run into the neighbors every time she went out?

However, after Ye Qingqing opened the box of supplies, she was stunned.

Because she had originally thought the box would just contain some instant noodles or something similar.

There were indeed instant noodles inside, but there were also portable Alcohol Stoves and alcohol blocks, and even mineral water and compressed biscuits.

If she rationed them, this box of supplies could last for ten days to half a month, as there were also noodles and some simple seasonings inside.

Looking at the supplies in the box and thinking back to the metallic clinking from the dropped box earlier, Ye Qingqing couldn’t help but start to wonder about the identities of Huo Sixian and his group...

Regardless, Ye Qingqing decided to keep her distance from the neighbors. Since she didn’t know their background yet, she still had to be on guard against them.

The Typhoon outside seemed to have grown stronger, bringing even more rain.

The internet connection was intermittent. After steaming the fish and simmering the soup, Ye Qingqing took a moment to relax.

Messages from the Building Chat Group came through again. Today was technically the first official day of the Typhoon’s arrival, and the group was still quite lively. Besides those showing off their supplies in the morning, some people were even starting to play around now.

Qiu Yuebai (102): [It’s so boring at home, and the internet is bad. Is anyone up for a game of mahjong? Board games are fine too!]

Ye Qingqing looked at the person’s profile picture and felt they seemed like a young person; the avatar was an anime character.

Qiu Yuebai (102): [Is anyone there? I have Werewolf here. Anyone want to play? I’m on the 10th floor!]

Young people can’t stand loneliness, and with hormones at play, someone soon responded to him.

Among them was Lin Wanrou.

Little Silly Hiyori (503): [Me me me! I have two people here! Is it okay if I bring my older brother along?]

Ye Qingqing noticed the ’brother’ Lin Wanrou mentioned and wondered if this brother was Fu Peisheng.

Qiu Yuebai (102): [Sure! Someone just contacted me. Just come over; with the two of you, it’s exactly the right number.]

Ye Qingqing was somewhat impressed by the speed at which these people organized a gathering. The message had barely been sent before the group was formed.

In unit 503, Lin Wanrou had been lying in bed with Fu Peisheng. Feeling bored, she suddenly saw the board game invitation in the Building Chat Group.

She looked at the soundly sleeping Fu Peisheng beside her.

”Brother Fu, come play board games with me.”

Fu Peisheng was clearly exhausted and could barely open his eyes. Hearing Lin Wanrou’s words, he subconsciously frowned. ”What’s so fun about board games? I’m not going.”

”Then, Brother Fu, I’m going by myself.”

”Mhm.”

Lin Wanrou looked at the sleeping Fu Peisheng, a flash of disdain in her eyes. In her heart, she resented Fu Peisheng; he was all show and no substance.

Moreover, Fu Peisheng not going suited her perfectly. She had been observing that person on the 1st floor for a long time. He often posted traces of his life in the group, and she had run into him in the elevator before.

He was a rich second-generation heir and looked decent. If she could latch onto that rich heir, then Fu Peisheng would be useless to her.

Lin Wanrou happily dressed up before heading out. The people waiting for her on the 1st floor were already impatient. When they saw Lin Wanrou had even put on makeup to come out, disgust filled their eyes. But Lin Wanrou seemed not to notice and kept trying to cozy up to the rich heir who had sent the message.

However, Ye Qingqing knew nothing of this, because something else had caught her attention.

Purple Rose (152): [Has anyone noticed that the water level downstairs is rising?]

Zhuge Liang Quietly (303): [It won’t flood all the way up here, will it? I’m on the 3rd floor, I’m a bit scared.]

Bubble Postman (103): [It’s really possible. I’ve already found water overflowing in my bathroom.]

Bubble Postman (103): [It’s not just possible, it’s really overflowing!]
