Chapter 222: Small branches bear fruit

"What are you talking about?" Chen Mo, who had just come out of the shower, was speechless when he saw them hiding aside and whispering.

Hearing his words, the two girls jumped in fright like frightened kittens. They then remembered that there was one more person here, and hurriedly said, "Oh, nothing, nothing!"

"Why don't you come over here and give me a leg massage?" Chen Mo said unhappily.

Hearing this, the two girls' faces changed: Here it comes, this is the second time they make this request, are they finally going to take action against us?

After a while, the two girls who were massaging his legs looked at each other as they watched Chen Mo resting comfortably on the bed: So it was really a leg massage, we thought...

Chen Mo, who was pretending to be asleep, raised his lips slightly. How could he not know what the two girls were thinking? He could release it at will, but wouldn't it be better to let them take the initiative? He didn't believe that with his charm, the two girls could really resist him!
Seeing that Chen Mo fell asleep, the two girls left the room. Shan Xin said, "Now that he has occupied my room, I can only sleep with you tonight."

The house they rented had two bedrooms and a living room, with each girl having one room. Now Chen Mo occupied one of them, and they did not dare to kick him out, fearing that he would get angry and do something excessive. So they had to live in one room. Moreover, if something happened to them, they could take care of each other if they lived together, and they could die together.

"Well, this is the only way!" Gao Huixin nodded.

grumble

At this moment, their stomachs growled, and they remembered that they hadn't eaten all day. They came to the kitchen and looked at the remaining rice and pickled mustard. Gao Huixin gritted her teeth and said, "Forget it. This little food won't last two days anyway. Let's just have a full meal!"

Before, they had been saving as much as possible in order to wait for rescue or to hold on for a while longer. But when they saw Chen Mo appear today, they had a premonition that their lives might change, so they might as well change it from now on.

Shan Xin did not object because she hadn't had a full meal for several days. She had even wanted to jump off the building before, but now she thought she was so stupid. At least she should have eaten a full meal before jumping!

Before long, the smell of rice wafted through the room. Although it was just ordinary rice, to people in the last days, it was like delicacies from mountains and seas.

From the current perspective, Chen Mo should not be a bad person, otherwise he would have attacked them first. So after the meal was ready, they did not forget to call Chen Mo to eat.

As they reached the door, they found that Chen Mo had already come out after smelling the fragrance of rice. Looking at the rice and pickled mustard in front of him, Chen Mo knew that it was a luxury for ordinary people to eat fragrant rice in the end times, so he didn't show any disgust and sat down and started eating.

The second girl didn't know if this would be her last dinner, so she didn't care about her image when eating. Although her appetite was not as big as Chen Mo's, her eating speed was just as fast as Chen Mo's.

After finishing the meal, Shan Xin finally couldn't hold back the doubts in her heart and asked, "Are you an official? Can you take us to a safe place?"

They always firmly believe that no matter what the end of the world is like, the authorities will definitely be able to create a safe place. As long as they go there, daily necessities may be scarce, but they don't have to worry about the threat of zombies.

"Official? Sorry, no. As for your so-called safe place, isn't it very safe here?" Chen Mo shook his head.

Hearing that Chen Mo was not an official, the two girls were slightly disappointed. Gao Huixin even said, "It's not safe here. There are many zombies upstairs and downstairs. What we ate just now was the last of our supplies. If we can't find more food, we will starve to death!"

"Ahem, let me correct you. It's you who will starve to death, not me!" Chen Mo corrected.

The two girls were slightly stunned. After they reacted, Shan Xin frowned and said, "You mean, you want to abandon us?"

"Look at what you said, it's as if I abandoned my wife and daughter. We have no relationship, right? And I have no obligation to protect you!" Chen Mo's face was serious, and he didn't look like you were joking at all.

The fact is indeed so. Chen Mo is not a saint. What does the life and death of others have to do with him? Just because you cooked a meal for me? Just because you are beautiful? I have to protect you? You are dreaming!

Hearing this, the two girls' faces turned pale: It's over, they thought they had a savior, but it turned out that he was of no help at all, and instead he ate up so much of their rice, what a huge loss!

Seeing Chen Mo turning around and about to return to the room, Gao Huixin hurriedly asked: "What do you want in exchange for protecting us?"

"Guess for yourself!" After saying that, Chen Mo walked into the room.

Shan Xin showed his small fangs and grinned: "This guy ate our food and lived with us, but now he doesn't care about us. If I can beat him, I will definitely fight him.

Forget it, Xiao Gao, let's not count on him. I saw him burn a lot of zombies to death when he went upstairs. Maybe there are no zombies in this building now. Let's go collect supplies by ourselves!"

Hearing this, Gao Huixin's eyes lit up: Yes, maybe there are no zombies downstairs now, and the supplies collected may not be enough for me to survive, but living one more day is a day.

Thinking of this, Gao Huixin nodded heavily. The two of them discussed it and decided to set off now while they were full and had energy. Otherwise, if they waited for too long, zombies from other places might wander into this building, which would be troublesome.

In the bedroom, Chen Mo quietly opened his [Reincarnation Eye] and observed the two girls' every move through layers of obstacles. Seeing them go out to collect supplies, he couldn't help but nodded secretly: Not bad, they have some brains, not the kind of vase that can only act coquettishly and cutely.

Rubbing his nose, Chen Mo looked at the two girls' rabbits that kept shaking due to going up and down the stairs, and exclaimed that small branches bear great fruit.

Half an hour later, the two girls came back panting, carrying some things. Just as they had guessed, when Chen Mo went upstairs, he had already burned all the zombies in the corridor to ashes. They searched two or three rooms in succession and found a lot of useful supplies.

After closing the door, Shan Xin looked at the room where Chen Mo was and said angrily, "Damn, I'm so tired. This guy didn't even ask for help. I won't cook for him next time."

Gao Huixin said, "If he really wants to eat, can we stop him? Besides... without the water he provides, we will have no water to cook or take a bath!"

Shan Xin's face froze, and then he sighed helplessly: "Okay, I take back what I said just now, he is still somewhat useful!"

At this moment, screams and running sounds were heard outside the building. The two girls hurried to the balcony and looked outside carefully. They saw a group of people fighting with zombies, some of whom had been knocked down by zombies.

They soon discovered that the backpacks of these people were bulging. They must have come out to search for supplies. And judging from the fact that they dared to fight zombies, the zombies in the building they were in might have been dealt with by them. They just didn't expect that they attracted the attention of other zombies on their way back and were surrounded. There were a total of five people surrounded by zombies, all men. Two of them were carrying backpacks, and the other three were holding kitchen knives and iron bars. From their clear division of labor, it was not difficult to see that this was not the first time they cooperated, and they had even formed a small group a long time ago.

The current situation is that one of the men with a backpack was knocked down by zombies because of the things he was carrying. The others wanted to rescue him, but there were too many zombies around. They could win with more people, but they couldn’t win with fewer people. One of them looked at the man who was knocked down, ignored his cry for help, and said to the others: "He is already beyond saving. If you don’t want to die, follow me and break through this way!"

After saying that, he took the lead and ran towards the nearest apartment building, with his left arm raised high, which was wrapped with thick clothes to prevent being scratched and bitten by zombies. In his right hand, he chopped left and right with the already bent kitchen knife, and actually broke through the encirclement.

Seeing this, the other men hurriedly followed. The man who was running at the end was unlucky. He was grabbed by the corner of his clothes by the zombies and was soon overwhelmed by the group of zombies.

Click!

The only three remaining men closed the door of the apartment building, took out the iron chain from their bag and locked the door before they breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, they realized something was wrong. The noise they made was quite loud. If there were zombies in the building that were not locked in their homes, they should have been attracted by the noise. Why were there no zombies moving now? Could it be that all the zombies in the building were locked in their rooms?
The first man who entered here frowned and said, "Everyone be careful. Just like before, let's find a place to stay first, and then find a way to clean up all the zombies in this unit building."

The other two men looked at each other and nodded. This is what they had done before. It was because of their concerted efforts that they were able to clear out all the zombies in their own building. The supplies they collected allowed the five of them to survive for half a month. If the supplies they had collected before had not been exhausted, they would not have had to move to another building.

After a while, they looked at the empty room and the footprints on the ground and couldn't help but frowned: "Looking at this situation, did someone clear out the zombies here first?"

“No, if someone had cleaned it up on purpose, the footprints wouldn’t be like this. They should be very messy, after all, it involves a fight with zombies.

Moreover, didn’t you notice that there were still roars of zombies coming from those closed portals? This means that the other party is not specifically here to clean up zombies. Maybe there are other survivors here to collect supplies.

Judging from the amount of dust on the ground and the clarity of the footprints, if nothing unexpected happens, the people who collected supplies have not been here for long.

The apartment building we were in before is not far from here. If there were survivors from other apartment buildings coming here to collect supplies, we would not have been able to ignore the noise, and the zombies would not have turned a blind eye. All these signs indicate that the survivors who came here to collect supplies are in this apartment building right now!"

The person who spoke was the first man who rushed into the apartment building. His name was Zhang Liang. He was a sports student and a detective fan. He was a man of both courage and resourcefulness. It was because of him that the five of them formed a small group and survived to this day, so the others all respected him very much.

"Should we get in touch with these survivors? If we can get them to join us, our safety will undoubtedly increase a lot!" said one of the three men.

Zhang Liang shook his head: "Not yet. We lost two people today, and we are a little tired after the battle just now. If we rashly contact the survivor, what if the other party has more people or wants to harm us, then we will be in trouble. So let's settle down and recover first!"

Hearing this, the other two also thought it made sense, and the three of them quickly found a relatively clean empty house on the third floor to live in.

Meanwhile, they were upstairs on the fifth floor.

Shan Xin and Gao Huixin looked at each other, and Gao Huixin asked, "Are they coming to our building?"

"Yeah, I heard the sound in the corridor!" Shan Xin nodded.

"Should we get in touch with them? I think they are pretty powerful!" Gao Huixin suggested.

"What if they are also bad guys like the guy next door? With our thin arms and legs, we might just fall into the tiger's mouth, right?" Shan Xin said worriedly.

After hearing this, Gao Huixin thought about it and felt that her proposal was a little ill-considered. After all, she had not yet figured out the other person's character. It would not be a good thing to make rash contact with him. After all, this is the end of the world, and there are no laws or moral constraints. People with power can do whatever they want!
Looking at the guy outside who had been bitten to death by zombies, Shan Xin sighed, "What a pity!"

"Well, it's a pity that the man died because he dared to fight zombies!" Gao Huixin also said.

Shan Xin rolled her eyes: "Who said that? I was talking about the pity of the food in that bag. It was so bulging. If we could get it, it would be enough for us to eat for a few days at least. Now that bag fell into the pile of zombies, the food is wasted!"

Good boy, so this is what you feel sorry about?
Soon, three days passed.

These three days were the most comfortable three days that Shan Xin and Gao Huixin had ever had since the apocalypse. They didn’t have to worry about food or water. More importantly, for some unknown reason, even though Chen Mo didn’t do anything at all, with him at home, the two girls had an inexplicable sense of security. Even the situation in which they were unable to sleep due to being scared by the screaming of zombies outside disappeared.

What they didn't know was that every night before Chen Mo went to sleep, he would block out the sounds of the zombies outside. After all, no one wanted to hear constant noise while they were sleeping.

dong dong dong~
Just as the three were eating, there was a sudden knock on the door, which scared the two girls. They thought it was zombies.

Until a voice came from outside: "Hello, is anyone there?"

When they heard that it was a human, the two women did not let down their guard. After all, the people in the apocalypse were no less dangerous than those zombies.

They carefully looked outside through the peephole and found that it was the three men who had escaped to their apartment building a few days ago. For a moment, they didn't know whether they should respond.

"Brother Liang, it smells so good! It's the smell of rice. There must be someone in this room!" said a man outside the door with shining eyes.

What kind of conditions are these? It's the end of the world, and we can still eat rice? Didn't we agree to cut off the water and electricity? Thinking of the taste of rice, the three of them swallowed their saliva.

The Liang brother he mentioned came to his senses and guessed that the people inside were probably afraid of the three of them, so he explained: "Don't be nervous, friends inside, we are not bad people, we just think that there is strength in numbers, and we can survive better this way. In the future, it is even possible for us to leave here together and find the official large force.

We are here to invite you, would you mind opening the door and chatting?"
