Shi Jinwei talked on and on for more than half an hour.

Seeing that things had gone well, he began to subtly probe the two men for information. The two men remained completely oblivious to his tactic, leaving Cheng Rui, as an observer, deeply impressed.

They not only learned how many survivors there were, but also which shops had supplies.

"Isn't there anywhere to buy kayaks here? Why don't you leave?" Shi Jinwei asked, feigning curiosity.

"Yes, of course we are. But in this world, it's safer here than outside. We have food and drink, and we can keep warm together," one of the men said.

Seeing Shi Jinwei's "Big Brother is so insightful" expression, the man next to her became vain and added, not wanting to be outdone.

"Although we didn't intend to leave, we still knew to put all these things away just in case."

"Wow, those guys are really smart. If my brother and I had thought one step ahead, we wouldn't be in this situation." Shi Jinwei praised them but didn't forget to play the victim.

Then the conversation took a sudden turn when they asked if they were using their diving equipment, and that people in other areas were already retrieving things from underwater.

Both men looked disgusted upon hearing this: "There are so many corpses in this water. We have plenty to eat and drink, but we don't have that kind of hobby. Besides, none of us know how to dive."

Hearing him say that, Shi Jinwei felt that the diving equipment was very likely not taken away, and secretly gave Cheng Rui a look.

Cheng Rui immediately chimed in and started chatting with the two men.

Jinwei could tell from their conversation yesterday that he was also a talkative person.

Given that men often have a lot to talk about, she stopped talking after he started to respond.

After about ten minutes, seeing that the two men were already calling Cheng Rui brothers, she seized the opportunity to interject, "Brother, I need to use the restroom. Is the restroom still usable?"

"Sure, as long as you don't mind the dirt. There are some on the fourth floor, and the fifth floor is all our people, so don't go up there." The man was engrossed in his conversation and casually dismissed Shi Jinwei.

Shi Jinwei gestured for Cheng Rui to continue dragging the two of them, while she climbed up to the fourth floor via the fire escape.

These shops have been emptied of almost everything usable, leaving behind only items that these people feel they no longer need.

With no one watching over it, Shi Jinwei quickly found the diving equipment store, which had everything from diving suits and masks to oxygen tanks.

However, Shi Jinwei didn't have much space, so she only took two sets of clothes and two diving goggles.

They brought six oxygen cylinders, one of which could keep them underwater for about half an hour.

After packing her things, she passed by a men's clothing store, which had a lot of men's clothes inside.

Thinking of Cheng Rui's clothes whose color was indistinguishable, she grabbed two more large-sized sets and stuffed them into her bag before quickly returning to the third floor.

Seeing that they were still chatting enthusiastically, she didn't interrupt them immediately. They only said goodbye and left when their staff came to relieve them.

Knowing they had a kayak, Shi Jinwei didn't hide it from them. She helped Cheng Rui sit down and they started paddling.

Those people really didn't have any greed in their eyes. After watching them row away, they also disappeared from the window.

"At this rate, it will take us about two days to get to the official office building," Cheng Rui said, lying on the inflatable boat, trying to make conversation.

Shi Jinwei ignored her and instead looked around warily.

Along the way, they encountered many other people who were also out searching for supplies. When they saw Shi Jinwei paddling her kayak, they all revealed greedy expressions.

But when they saw there was another man there, most people gave up.

The fact that these two dared to come out at this point suggests they were both quite strong. There were also those who, unwilling to give up, hesitated for a moment before approaching.

-------------------------------------

Zhao Da and his four henchmen paddled a wooden plank across the water, hoping to find some food.

As a result, all they saw was Shi Jinwei, a woman, rowing a boat.

Henchman Number One immediately reported: "Boss, there's a woman rowing a boat over there."

The four of them looked in Shi Jinwei's direction and found that she was rowing the boat alone, but she wasn't alone; a man was lying on it.

"That kayak can easily seat the four of us," the second younger brother concluded after craning his neck to observe.

Numbers three and four all looked at Zhao Da with hope, wanting him to lead them on a big heist.

Zhao Si was initially a little wary when he saw there were men on the boat. But then he thought, there are four of them on their side, and only two on Shi Jinwei's side, so what was there to be afraid of?

Even if they really can't beat them, the four of them can definitely outrun them by rowing.

Having figured it out, he gestured to his underlings to row the plank toward Shi Jinwei's kayak.

The four men paddled the plank at great speed and soon caught up with the two men's boat.

Seeing this, Zhao Da immediately jumped into the water, intending to swim towards Shi Jinwei. With all four of them coming together, he was sure the two of them would panic.

Surprisingly, Shi Jinwei didn't panic at all. She simply swung the oar and slammed a head into the water.

With her taking action, Cheng Rui couldn't possibly be idle either.

He grabbed another oar and, like playing whack-a-mole, smacked the water twice with it.

Seeing that his three underlings had all been wiped out, Zhao Da lost all his courage and cried out, "Hero, spare my life!" as he swam toward his wooden plank.

Shi Jinwei sneered: "Since you've come to my doorstep, you might as well not leave."

After saying that, he stood up on the dinghy, gripped the oars with both hands, and swung them down on Zhao Da's head like a sledgehammer.

The man screamed as his head was smashed open, and he lost his balance due to the pain, sinking into the water.

A few bubbles rose to the surface of the water with a "glug-glug" sound, and then the water returned to calm.

Shi Jinwei glanced around from her standing position. Several groups of people who were secretly observing her immediately looked away when she caught their gaze.

The same thought simultaneously arose in their minds: "These are two tough guys; we can't afford to mess with them."

That evening, the two found another detached house to rest in.

However, a group of people were lurking in the small building and intended to rob the two of them.

Ignoring his injuries, Cheng Rui once again fought against multiple opponents, finally beating them into submission.

Afterwards, he tried to play the victim in front of Shi Jinwei, but all he got was a glare from her.

The reason they left people behind was because they needed someone to keep watch at night.

Shi Jinwei was tired after a long day, and Cheng Rui wanted her to get a good rest that night.

He can keep watch alone, but who wouldn't want to use free labor?

So after leaving the rented room, Shi Jinwei finally got a good night's sleep and felt much more energetic the next day.

After leaving this place, she started rowing again until there were no buildings or people around, then she took out a propeller from her spatial storage.

Cheng Rui was surprised to see what she took out of her backpack: "Sister Shi, did you get this yesterday? Why didn't you use it yesterday?"

Shi Jinwei felt much more at ease knowing that the game had fixed the items she had taken from the space.

Faced with Cheng Rui's somewhat idiotic question, she retorted, "Do we have gasoline?"
