Even without cheats, we must survive the apocalypse

Anna was wrapped up like a blooming flower, completely different from her previous miserable appearance after falling into the water. However, her attitude towards Chu Xiao and the others did not change because of the change in environment and identity.

The blonde girl came here specifically to check on Chu Xiao and the others. Even though the head maid had said that her father would give them the best hospitality, Anna still couldn't feel at ease until she saw it with her own eyes.

After making sure that Chu Xiao and Ruan Mengmeng were safe, Anna finally felt relieved. She sat on the sofa in the living room and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"You just stay on the boat for a while, and we will find a chance to escape later!" Miss Anna clenched her fists, looking determined.

Chu Xiao was worried that Anna would let the cat out of the bag, so he deliberately said, "Ms. Anna, you may not know what kind of life we ​​lived before. Mengmeng and I were alone, and we had no companions in this terrible world. We had to try our best just to survive. There were several times when we were almost bitten to death by zombies..."

He used a horrified tone, interspersed obvious lies in his words, and winked at Anna cryptically.

Anna was very smart. She immediately showed a look of understanding, then nodded imperceptibly, immediately put on airs and started acting.

"Miss Anna, you have been staying in such a safe and prosperous place after the disaster. Your father created a place for you that is as beautiful as heaven, so you probably cannot understand what a hell the land is now..." Chu Xiao recalled the adventures of the past two months. These words were not all lies. The cruel scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere, even some minor descriptions, was enough to scare this noble girl who lived in a greenhouse.

This was actually Chu Xiao's bad taste. He deliberately picked out some detailed descriptions of terrible experiences to let this noble girl who didn't know what cruelty was know how naive her ideas were.

Anna's face was a little pale - this was not acting. Her concept of "doomsday" was still stuck in the few videos uploaded by survivors before the disaster, when the Internet was still connected. She thought she was fully aware of the cruelty of the doomsday, but the reality was that what she saw was just the tip of the iceberg.

Thousands of zombies gathered to form a terrifying corpse tide... the man-eating monsters controlled by bloody giant rats... the twisted mutants that used living people as bait and fought and devoured each other... and the most terrifying thing, the human heart after the collapse of order...

"So, Miss Anna, after going through so many things, I really don't want to go back to that scary world where my life is in jeopardy..." Chu Xiao spoke with great emotion, and even he himself was sighing that his acting skills were pretty good. "I also advise you to give up that dangerous idea. You are much luckier than most people in this world. If a beautiful girl like you enters that hell, I really can't imagine what kind of terrible treatment you will encounter. Believe me, dying in the mouth of a monster is not the worst thing."

The second half of the sentence wasn't a lie either.

Anna, a girl with a good life, may have a good heart, but in Chu Xiao's eyes, it was just a self-touching act. If she was scared away by reality, it just meant that her belief was just that. But if she could really continue to practice her innocence after going through hell, then...

Maybe Anna just wanted to act at first, but after Chu Xiao's words, she fell silent. The girl bit her lip, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Really? Is this what you think..." The girl said with force, "What a pity. I thought you would support me."

For a moment, Chu Xiao couldn't tell whether the girl's words were lies or true.

She stood up and turned her back to Chu Xiao so that Chu Xiao could not see her expression at the moment: "Since you are all fine, I will leave first. We will meet again at the banquet tonight."

After saying this, she quickened her pace and left the room. As the door of the room closed, the suite fell into silence.

Chu Xiao then had the opportunity to take out the note that Shi Koti had stuffed in his pocket.

The content on the note was simple, but it made Chu Xiao feel scared.

"Brother Xiao..." Ruan Mengmeng asked softly. Ever since leaving Sir Lobelin's study, Ruan Mengmeng seemed to be in a state of absent-mindedness, and only now did she utter her first sentence.

Chu Xiao stretched out his index finger, made a gesture to keep quiet for a while, and then handed the note to Ruan Mengmeng.

——"Don't talk nonsense in the room. After you leave, there will be a bug in the room. Check the right corner of the sofa in the living room and the table lamp in the master bedroom."

Following the instructions on the note, the things were not difficult to find, and Chu Xiao quickly determined the specific location. Although he didn't know why Shi Koti wanted to help them, her reminder did help Chu Xiao a lot. However, even if he knew the existence of the eavesdropping devices, he couldn't remove them. Dismantling them at will would only increase the other party's suspicion.

Chu Xiao said to himself: As expected, there is no way that knight would trust sudden outsiders like us so easily... Humph, it was clearly him who forced us to board the ship!

After all, Chu Xiao would not forget that on that island, a group of well-equipped armed men went after Anna, and one of them was taken away alive by Shi Koti. Although Chu Xiao did not know what was going on, one thing was clear - this ship was not as safe as it seemed, and Sir Lobelin also had enemies.

Chu Xiao burned the note with fire and then flushed the ashes into the toilet.

His mind was a little confused. In the past, he had his secretary to help him with these troublesome things, but now he could only rely on himself. Fortunately, strictly speaking, the only things they couldn't expose were his sister Chu Yan and other companions. Having said that, Chu Xiao felt uncomfortable when he thought about being monitored.

"Brother Xiao."

When Chu Xiao was desperately thinking of a countermeasure, he suddenly felt a light body approaching. Ruan Mengmeng kicked off her high heels and sat directly on Chu Xiao's thighs. She held Chu Xiao's face with both hands and stared at him with her big eyes. There seemed to be a burning flame burning in her eyes.

"What's wrong, Mengmeng?" Mengmeng seemed to want to say something, but Chu Xiao was busy dealing with all these messy things and didn't have time to pay attention.

"Brother Xiao, you just said I was your girlfriend." Ruan Mengmeng pointed at her chest and said, "Then, it was like a fire was burning here. I was so happy that I felt like I was going to explode."

She exhaled a warm and fragrant breath, and her eyes were full of aggression, as if she wanted to swallow the man in front of her whole.

The eldest daughter of the Ruan family was very immature and direct in her relationship. She had followed her feelings to a large extent in her relationship with Chu Xiao. She had never thought that she would have such a strong reaction to the word "girlfriend".

"So...what do you want to do now?" Chu Xiao swallowed and found that his voice seemed a little dry. "My little girlfriend."

"I want to... do something a girlfriend should do..."

Chapter 27 Gift

The luxurious decoration of the luxury suite makes the atmosphere in the room very soft and ambiguous.

She was a girl as passionate as fire, and she was never willing or willing to hide her emotions. Their lips touched, and at a very close distance, they transmitted each other's hot breath.

The girl gasped quickly, and a tempting blush appeared on her pretty face.

They parted their lips, and the girl subconsciously extended her pink tongue and licked the wet corners of her mouth: "Brother Xiao...what do you think of the results of our 'practice'? Have I made any progress?"

A silver thread broke between their lips. The originally neat dress had become very messy. Chu Xiao's hand was already on the girl's slender waist, and the belt around her waist had been half untied.

Chu Xiao looked at the pretty face so close to him and said in a serious tone, "It was too short just now, I haven't been able to give you a score yet."

"Then continue... the assessment?"

"OK……"

If they continued, the two of them would probably follow the suddenly ignited emotions and accidentally get into a fight, all the way to the end, but unfortunately, the doorbell rang at this moment, waking up the two who were gradually sinking into it.

Ruan Mengmeng suddenly became furious: Who is knocking on the door at this time!

Chu Xiao felt like a bucket of cold water was poured over his head, and the emotions that were infected by the girl immediately calmed down. Although he also felt regretful, now was not a good time.

Chu Xiao stretched out his finger, pressed it on the girl's pouting lips, and comforted her: "Don't be angry, girl. Now is really not a very appropriate time."

Chu Xiao was a little bit excited because of the girl's passionate emotions. Now that he was disturbed by the outside world, he calmed down and thought about it, and realized that the current situation was not appropriate. After all, he was still under surveillance. In this environment, doing some private things really made people feel wrong.

Chu Xiao straightened his messy suit and then walked over to open the door.

Waiting at the door were the head maid Sophia and the beautiful maid who had helped Chu Xiao bathe and dress. The two maids had no complaints about being left outside the door for a while, but bowed politely to Chu Xiao: "Mr. Chu, sorry to bother you again."

"Hello, both of you. Please come in." Chu Xiao couldn't figure out the purpose of the two maids, but he couldn't possibly turn them away.

The head maid nodded slightly, folded her hands, and walked slowly into the room with the young maid behind her.

On the sofa, Ruan Mengmeng's clothes were still in a messy state. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell what had happened before. The girl pouted unhappily. She deliberately looked like this to meet the two maids who suddenly came to visit. Firstly, she was deliberately demonstrating to let them know that she came at an inopportune time. Secondly... and the most important reason, this dress was really difficult to wear and she had no way to put it away.

However, when the two maids saw Ruan Mengmeng's appearance, their expressions did not change at all. They did not feel the embarrassment that Ruan Mengmeng had expected at all.

Chu Xiao thought that this might be because these maids in the upper class were already used to the ups and downs of life. The young maid nodded slightly, walked to Ruan Mengmeng's side, and helped her put on her evening dress again.

"So, is there anything wrong?" Chu Xiao asked.

The head maid, Ms. Sophia, said, "Mr. Chu, Ms. Ruan, according to my master's instructions, I brought him a gift for you."

"Gift?" Chu Xiao didn't see what the two maids were holding. "Hasn't Mr. Lobelin given us the right to stay on this ship?"

The head maid Sophia showed a reserved and elegant smile: "Excuse me, but you probably don't know how generous my master is. What he gave you is much more than just the qualification to board the ship."

The reserved head maid clapped her hands gently, and the beautiful maid who helped Ruan Mengmeng put on her dress walked up to Chu Xiao.

Chu Xiao was a little confused when he heard Sophia pointing at the young maid and saying, "Etta, meet your new master."

The young maid named Aita faced Chu Xiao, bowed slightly, and called respectfully: "Master."

Chu Xiao was really stunned this time.

"So..." He pointed at the maid named Etta, and then pointed at himself - this was the first time he knew the other person's name, "She is -"

"Aita is the gift from the master," said Sophia. "From now on, Aita's ownership belongs to you. You are free to do whatever you want with her. Don't worry if you have a certain obsession with cleanliness. You are the only man she has ever had contact with since she was created."

"But!" Chu Xiao was really panicking. With his life experience and common sense, he couldn't accept that a living person was just being stuffed in. Moreover, Sophia's tone of introduction made Chu Xiao feel something was wrong, as if she was not introducing a person, but a high-end... toy? However, even with only a brief contact, he could still be sure that Eta, who appeared in front of him, was a living person.

"Wait... manufacture?" Chu Xiao was a little slow due to the confusion in his brain. He realized that Sophia's word choice was a little strange. "What's the meaning of 'manufacture'?"

"You can ask Etta to explain this to you later," said maid Sophia with a smile. "I must remind you here that if you refuse to accept this gift, then Etta will be destroyed as waste."

Destroy... not kill...

Sophia's words completely made Chu Xiao lose the reason to refuse. He looked at the delicate face of the maid Etta in front of him, but he could not see any fear or uneasiness about her fate in her eyes.

It seems as if everything is taken for granted.

"Then...thank you Mr. Lobelin for your generosity."

"Please allow me to say a few more words," Sophia added with a smile, "Mr. Chu, I'm afraid you still don't realize how lucky you are to have saved Miss Anna. I believe you will fully experience this luck in your future life."

Chu Xiao felt uncomfortable with this, but he didn't say much. From the way the maid Sophia treated Miss Anna, it could be seen that this woman's status on the ship was obviously very special and she could not be regarded as just a maid.

Now that the maid Eta has been handed over to Chu Xiao, what the head maid Sophia had to do is finished.

"By the way, there will be a dinner at 6 o'clock this evening. Please be punctual." Sophia reminded before leaving, "There is still some time before the banquet starts. I personally suggest that you let Etta take you to visit the Nibelungen. After all..."

"…This will be the new world where you and your girlfriend will live for a long time."

Chapter 28 Dilemma

After Sophia left, the room fell into an eerie silence.

Chu Xiao and Ruan Mengmeng looked at each other, and then looked at the quiet and beautiful maid at the same time.

Eta is very quiet, and she always has a faint smile on her face. This expression is very pretty, but if you look at it too much, it will feel like she is wearing a mask.

Ruan Mengmeng walked to Chu Xiao's side and asked in a low voice: "Brother Xiao, do you really want to accept her?"

"Others have said such things. We can't really watch this girl being... destroyed." Chu Xiao used the word 'destroy' very awkwardly. He already had some vague guesses about Aita's origins.

Chu Xiao sat on the sofa and asked, "Aita - I'm just going to call you by your name, is that okay?"

"Please feel free to do so, my master." Aita nodded in response. She smiled and tilted her head. "May I ask if your 'other needs' need to be met now?"

Chu Xiao was stunned, and suddenly his mind became hot when he remembered what Aita had said when he was bathing. Ruan Mengmeng was a little confused and asked, "What do you mean by 'other needs'?"

"Eta, explain to me why it is 'manufactured'." Chu Xiao decisively changed the subject and asked the question that he was most concerned about. "Ms. Sophia said that you will give us the answer to this question."

...He probably already had some guesses, but he still needed Etta to give a more detailed explanation.

"Yes, Master. Just as you guessed, I am an artificial human." Eta smiled. "I am a seventh-generation Eta-type artificial maid, so there is nothing wrong with using the word 'manufactured'."

"Android!?" Ruan Mengmeng exclaimed, "Android No. 18?"

"Don't interrupt." Chu Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He pulled Ruan Mengmeng into his arms, let her sit on his legs, put his arms around the girl's slender waist, and then said to Aita, "What on earth is going on? Suddenly a whole artificial person appeared to me. The amount of information seems to be a bit too much. So, what's going on with you? A puppet? A robot? A clone?"

"I am neither a puppet nor a machine. This body is not much different from a normal human body. Theoretically, this body is also capable of reproduction. Master, do you need me to take off my clothes so you can examine me carefully?"

"No, no need." Although Chu Xiao was really a little curious, he still said "no" with a firm will.

"Is the technology on this ship so advanced..." It used to be a setting that only appeared in science fiction movies. Suddenly it appeared in front of me, which was really hard to imagine. So I naturally doubted whether it was true. However, if I think about it from another angle, there are even zombies in this world, and normal people can be transformed into monsters in a culture tank. Thinking about it this way, the existence of "artificial people" does not seem so difficult to accept.

The young man couldn't help but look at Etta from head to toe. With the aura of being a "man-made man", this already very beautiful maid seemed to have even more strange charm. From the outside, Etta was a young lady in her twenties, but since she was a man-made man, then Etta's age...

"Another question is, Etta, how old are you this year?"

"As of today, it is one year and thirty-two days."

"What the hell! You're not even two years old?!"

……

As the sun gradually set, the sea and the sky were dyed red.

With the red sky as the background, the huge steel ship floats on the sea, casting a huge shadow. In the silence, it is like an oil painting by a skilled artist, using thick brushstrokes to paint a beautiful picture.

However, not everyone thinks this is a beautiful picture.

An old, rusty ferry was moored far away from the Nibelungen. An Suxin stood at the bow and looked at the huge steel ship from afar. The secretary frowned, but she was also a little relieved - at least they really caught up with the ship.

Chasing a helicopter with an old ferry was a foolish move, but they had no choice but to chase it in the direction the helicopter left. Fortunately, the Nibelungen was anchored offshore and was too big a target. As dusk approached, they finally saw a huge shadow on the sea.

"Although I had expected it," An Suxin said, "the size of this ship is indeed beyond my imagination."

"Brother Xiao and Mengmeng, were they taken to that big ship?" Su Muhe asked, her voice trembling. The Nibelungen on the horizon in the distance was so huge that it looked like a mountain rising above the sea level. This hugeness gave her an inexplicable sense of powerlessness, and she felt like an ant about to challenge a giant.

Chu Yan didn't say anything, but stared at the big ship in the distance with red eyes. If she hadn't had enough reason to judge the situation, she might have rushed up regardless of everything.

The girls didn't dare to get too close, otherwise if they were discovered, they would not even have a chance to escape with the old ferry in their hands.

"We have a more realistic problem to solve." An Suxin sighed, "We drove at full throttle without hesitation before, and the engine sound has become a little strange since a while ago."

The ferry was already quite old, and although it had managed to find its target before sunset, its engine was overloaded, and its lifespan might not last long. The problem was that there was no one on board who could repair the machinery, and if the engine failed, they would have no choice but to drift.
