Even without cheats, we must survive the apocalypse

"So, what? I heard that you made a 'promise' with my brother in order to survive. So, you used my brother as a pawn to keep you alive?" Chu Yan no longer had the knife in her eyes, "If I find out that you dare to do anything to hurt my brother, I will kill you."

"That's really scary." An Suxin smiled. "Can't I really like your brother? After all, after spending these two days together, your brother is really a very good guy. You can call me 'sister-in-law'. Since we are the same kind, you should also know that if people like us fall in love, it will be very crazy. Speaking of which, your brother's skills in bed are really quite good. I am very glad that he is my first partner."

As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Yan's eyes suddenly turned red, and a terrible murderous intent burst out of her eyes.

"What a dangerous expression," An Suxin said, "You are indeed abnormal just like me. How does it feel to be driven crazy by the world? As expected, for us, this world was already doomsday before it became like this. Thank that god who is somewhere unknown. He smashed the world that bound us. He allowed us to finally get rid of all the illnesses and break free of all the shackles, so that we are finally free."

The blood in Chu Yan's eyes grew redder, but the next moment, it suddenly turned darker. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "You are deliberately provoking me."

"Did you see it?"

"Too deliberate. Although I don't like you, I at least know that you won't do meaningless things." Chu Yan quickly regained her composure, "After all, you're right, we are the same kind."

——They were all lunatics who were forced into a desperate situation before the world collapsed.

"As for the purpose, I can probably guess it. It's to test my physical condition after injecting that drug. From the situation summarized before, overly excited emotions can also become a trigger for losing control, so you deliberately use your relationship with my brother to provoke me." Chu Yan analyzed rationally.

"So, how do you feel now? It shouldn't be as simple as just changing the color of your eyes."

Chu Yan looked at her hands, and then tried to check her body: "I don't feel any abnormality, nor do I have any extreme impulses. At least, while I was irritated, I was able to control my killing intent towards you. The change in my field of vision is not big, but I can obviously see things much more clearly. My physical fitness has at least improved to a considerable extent, but it has not improved explosively like my brother or Mengmeng. For example, what my brother did before, crushing a human skull with his bare hands, I definitely can't do it..."

The communication between the two intelligent people was very efficient, and both sides could quickly understand each other's meaning.

Out of professional habit, An Suxin took out a notebook and started taking notes at some point. She just listened to Chu Yan's description, but the confusion on her face could not be dispelled.

Judging from Chu Yan’s description, she really seemed to have just turned back into an ordinary high school girl, highlighting the word “stability”.

"…Is it really just like this?" An Suxin always felt that things would not be that simple.

This test ultimately did not produce any useful conclusions. An Suxin shook her head and could only put the matter aside for the time being. Chu Yan turned around and walked into Chu Xiao's room.

——I was delayed for so long that I almost didn’t get to see my brother’s sleeping face. If the first person my brother saw when he woke up wasn’t me, it would be a real loss…

Chapter 15: Seeking Help

The daily life in the next few days made Chu Xiao almost feel like he was still living before the end of the world. Every day he could look at his sister's beautiful face and wake up naturally, and eat the food carefully prepared by the girls.

The only regret was that due to his sister's strict defense, he had no chance to have any further relationship with the two girls in the past two days. Even An Suxin could only secretly give him some benefits - the secretary seemed to enjoy it very much, often making some intimate and passionate moves in front of Chu Yan. If it weren't for Miss Su Su who would secretly vent his anger from time to time, Chu Xiao would probably go crazy.

My younger sister would give out some benefits from time to time, and kissing became the norm, but as for things going further... Even though the world order has collapsed, and both parties are aware of each other's thoughts, the time has been too short and they have not yet been able to get out of the inertia left over from the past.

The weather was a little cloudy, with a drizzle of rain, and the hot air also cooled down. The rain curtain was much smaller than an hour ago. Chu Xiao sat under the awning on the rooftop, staring at the drizzle, looking quite relaxed.

He had not been idle for the past two days, and had taken his girls out of the small base several times to collect some supplies around. Their daily necessities and food reserves were sufficient, mainly some medicines and fuel, as well as handy weapons. An Suxin also found a walkie-talkie nearby.

Chu Xiao held the phone, his fingers moving rapidly: "So, I am a man with several girlfriends, and my practical experience is much richer than yours, Gu Ke."

"顾影自怜" quickly responded: "Haha. Who knows if what you said is true? Maybe you are an expert in theory. Aren't you being taken advantage of by your own sister? 'Scumbag' brother."

"Gu Ying Zi Lian" is 25 years old this year, one year older than Chu Xiao, so it is not wrong to call him "brother".

Ever since they started chatting through private messages that night, the two of them chatted from time to time. They got along very well and I don’t know who took the initiative to suggest that the two of them exchange WeChat accounts. After that, the frequency of their communications became more and more frequent.

At the beginning, both of them tacitly kept silent about their current situation, but as the communication deepened, the two sides gradually established trust and began to complain about things around them.

In the first few times, it was Chu Xiao who took the initiative to contact her, but later on, it was the other party who came to talk to him first. Sometimes she simply stopped typing and sent a voice call in the middle of the night to complain to Chu Xiao about the idiots in the shelter.

Chu Xiao liked this feeling very much. Although they were two people who had never met in real life, Chu Xiao felt that the person on the other end of the phone was an old friend whom he had known for many years. The two quickly exchanged their real names.

——Perhaps this is what is called "I regret not meeting you earlier".

"I have to deal with at least five fights every half day now, and I'm exhausted. Just now, there was a high school student with a chuunibyou syndrome who beat an adult half to death. When he was caught, he arrogantly said that he was a 'protagonist'. It made me laugh to death. He relied on the virus to strengthen him as if he was so powerful. Humph, when I put a gun to his head, he immediately became a wimp. It turns out that he still lacks the beating of society."

"Didn't you say that showing a gun in a shelter would easily cause panic?" Chu Xiao asked.

"There's nothing I can do. The situation has deteriorated to this point. If I don't use my gun, I won't be able to stop those troublemakers," Gu Ke complained on the phone. "When I talk about this, I get angry. I just found out today that the guy who claimed to be the CEO of some company is actually the bastard Sun Baishi's man. He deliberately mixed in with the new survivors that day to cause trouble. His purpose was to provoke me to draw my gun and set a trap for me. I made a big mistake."

A long paragraph of words appeared on the phone screen. Even through the screen, Chu Xiao could feel Gu Ke's anger and resentment.

Perhaps because she felt typing was not enough, she even sent a voice message and cursed them out loud: "Those bastards deserve a bad death!"

Although Gu Ke's words on WeChat were always playful and her tone was very powerful, the information she revealed about the shelter was not optimistic. It sounded like the situation in the shelter had become so bad that the conflict between the police and the other group of people was so deep that the two sides were only a piece of paper away from a conflict.

Chu Xiao was a little worried. He didn't want anything to happen to Gu Ke. Although they had never met in real life, they were rare friends who got along well with each other.

In response to this, Gu Ke responded calmly.

She sent a big smiley face and added three words: "Don't worry!"

……

It was already evening when I received Gu Ke's call request again.

It was late at night when Chu Xiao's cell phone suddenly rang. He was drowsy and woke up immediately when he saw the name on the screen.

After the young man answered the call, he put the receiver to his ear: "Hello, Gu Ke?"

There was no sound from the other end of the phone for a long time, only the sound of breathing could be heard.

Chu Xiao seemed to sense something and did not speak again. He put the phone to his ear and waited quietly.

After a long time, Chu Xiao heard the slightly hoarse and trembling voice of the policewoman: "...You haven't slept yet..."

"The beautiful lady has something to ask me, how can I bear to sleep?" Chu Xiao said in a gentle voice.

"There's no good in telling me this kind of joke." The policewoman's voice was filled with tears. "I've already told you, my rank is very high..."

As she was talking, she couldn't continue. Her voice seemed to be choked and it became difficult for her to speak.

Chu Xiao did not ask any further questions. He waited for Gu Ke to speak out himself.

After a while, Gu Ke seemed to have adjusted his mood and his voice became slightly calmer.

"You are such a cruel guy sometimes... I am crying so hard... Why don't you say anything to comfort me?"

Chu Xiao sat in front of the window, looking at the shelter a little further away in the darkness, and said softly: "If you were in front of me now, I would hold you in my arms without hesitation and let you cry your heart out."

There was a heart-wrenching silence at first. Gu Ke did not respond as usual, but whispered: "Then why...you are not in front of me now..."

The policewoman finally told the reason for her call.

Gu Ke's parents died.

After the disaster, Gu Ke contacted her parents, who were trapped at home and relatively safe. Gu Ke told her parents to stay at home and she would ask for help to rescue them. However, her parents' home was too far from the shelter, and they were seriously short of staff, so they were unable to organize rescue efforts for a while.

But her parents kept saying that it was okay, they were fine, and asked Gu Ke to be careful.

However, today, her mother suddenly called and told Gu Ke to be careful, eat and sleep on time, and not stay up late... Gu Ke immediately had a bad premonition, and then she heard her mother covering her mouth, crying and saying:

"Outside...something is banging on the door..."

Then, she heard the door being smashed open and her parents screaming...

"Why...why did it happen! My parents are such nice people! Why did something like this happen?!"

"I tried so hard to save people! Why didn't anyone save them?"

"I...I want to be saved too!"

Finally, the young woman burst into tears uncontrollably on the phone: "Can you...can you save me? I want to be saved too...I can't stand it anymore..."

(ps: The protagonists’ rest is over, we are starting to speed up and officially enter the shelter dungeon)

Chapter 16 Hesitation

Chu Xiao did not sleep that night.

The phone remained on hold, listening to the policewoman on the other side... the girl's almost incoherent crying. For the first time, Chu Xiao hated his own lack of words. He couldn't find any better words to comfort her, and he couldn't comfort her.

He himself understood very well the pain of losing both parents.

I remember when he received the call in the university dormitory, he didn't shed a tear, but suddenly felt like something collapsed. He applied for leave and bought tickets like a log, and returned home overnight. When he saw his sister, she was just in the first grade of junior high school, like a doll without a soul, with empty and helpless eyes.

It was not until she saw Chu Xiao that tears welled up in her sister's eyes.

The brother and sister hugged each other tightly and finally burst into tears.

At this moment, on the phone, Chu Xiao felt like he was hugging his sister back then. Through the phone, he was giving this young girl who was in the abyss a little support.

Gu Ke's voice finally regained a hint of calmness, as if he had swallowed down all the sadness in his heart.

Chu Xiao suddenly heard the voice on the other end of the phone become very calm, as if all emotions were stripped away in an instant: "I... I just lost my composure. Forget what I said."

Chu Xiao thought to himself: How could I forget?

But he did not deliberately lift the mask of the girl's pretending to be strong, but whispered: "Although this is a cruel suggestion, you must control your emotions now..."

"Otherwise you'll lose control, right? I know. I've seen a lot." The female police officer opposite took a deep breath and said, "I'm not that fragile. This kind of thing can't defeat me."

The emotional outburst finally brought Gu Ke back to a temporary state of calm. After a few breaths, she on the other side of the phone seemed to have returned to her former self.

"Sorry to disturb your sleep. I have something else to do, so I'll go do it first. You can continue to sleep." She spoke in the same tone as usual, as if she was suppressing something and fighting for her life.

"Well, you should also take care of your rest and contact me if you have anything."

Finally, before hanging up the phone, Chu Xiao heard a very quiet voice from the other end: "...Thanks."

Then, the voice call was hung up directly.

"Idiot, how can I sleep now?" The man sat on the bed, looking at the pale light on the phone. He could not forget the crying and shouting for help of the woman who pretended to be strong.

——Can you save me?

……

The next morning, Chu Yan came to Chu Xiao's room early, but the room was empty.

She noticed that the door to the third floor rooftop was open, so she walked up in her pajamas. She was dressed simply, a black halter dress that set off her jade-like white skin, and her slender figure could be vaguely seen under the loose and light nightgown - this exquisite and sexy outfit was originally her plan to lure her brother to break free and take the initiative to make a move on her.

Chu Yan, in a black dress, stood under the gloomy sky, like a fallen angel who had fallen into the world. However, at this moment, the eyes of this dangerous and beautiful angel could only accommodate a human figure.

It rained for most of the night before and there was still water on the rooftop. Chu Yan was wearing small slippers, revealing her delicate, jade-like white calves as she stepped on the small puddle.

The girl saw her brother leaning on the edge of the balcony, looking into the distance, smoking a cigarette in a trance. There were already a lot of cigarette butts in the puddles on the ground, which showed that he had been here for quite a while.

Chu Yan knew that her brother was not addicted to smoking. He would only light up one or two cigarettes when he was very upset. Judging from the current situation, his mood was fluctuating quite a lot at the moment. Even his lovely sister was standing behind him, but she didn't notice it.

The girl walked over and took the cigarette out of her brother's mouth: "Don't smoke, brother, it's not good for your health."

Chu Xiao was stunned for a moment, then smiled absentmindedly: "I didn't expect to be caught by you. I was planning to secretly smoke one or two cigarettes before leaving."

Chu Yan pointed at the cigarette butts on the ground and said, "This is not just one or two cigarettes."

The girl raised her hand, and her slender fingers gently stroked the wrinkles on the man's forehead. The slightly cool fingertips made Chu Xiao's unknown irritability gradually disappear.

She pulled Chu Xiao to the bench under the rooftop awning, stroked the hem of her skirt with both hands, and sat down leisurely. Then, Chu Yan patted her brother's thigh and whispered, "Would you like a long-lost lap pillow?"

Chu Xiao looked at his sister's beautiful white legs that were faintly visible under her thin skirt. He wanted to act a little more reserved, but his sister grabbed his wrist and pulled him in front of her with a little force.

So Chu Xiao obediently lay on his sister's thighs with his face up.

The girl's alluring body fragrance filled his nose, and behind his head he felt an elastic touch. From his perspective, he could clearly see the girl's erect breasts. Although not as turbulent as Su Muhe's, from this angle, they were also very noticeable.

"Brother, you don't hide your gaze at all." The girl stroked Chu Xiao's hair, then gently massaged his temple, "Do you feel better?"

Chu Xiao closed his eyes comfortably, and his irritability and fatigue were gradually eliminated with the movement of his sister's fingers. This activity was also a normal thing between them. Whenever Chu Xiao encountered something troublesome, Chu Yan would comfort him in this way.

"The smell of cigarettes is so strong, brother," Chu Yan asked, "Is it because of the person who has been in contact with brother these two days?"

"You really noticed it." Chu Xiao was not surprised at all.

"Of course," Chu Yan did not stop moving her fingers, "but my eyes have always been on my brother."

There was silence between the two for a moment. Chu Xiao turned over on his sister's thighs, buried his face in the girl's belly, and wrapped his arms around her slender waist: "There is a girl who looks very strong, asking me for help."

"Is she in danger now?" Chu Yan asked.

"It doesn't look like anything's wrong yet, but I'm afraid she's in a very bad situation. I have this inexplicable feeling of uneasiness. If I don't save her, she'll really get into trouble..."

"Brother, do you think what she said is true? What if it's a lie?"

"Maybe it's intuition, I believe it's true."

"So, brother, you want to save her?"

"I can't explain it, but it feels like there's a thorn in my heart."
