Even without cheats, we must survive the apocalypse

"Brother Xiao!" Ruan Mengmeng leaned against Chu Xiao, her expression slightly bitter, "You're finally back."

"Are these ladies coming over?" Chu Xiao turned his head to look at Anna and found that the blonde girl was covering her mouth to hold back her laughter.

Anna laughed out loud: "They want to invite Mengmeng to dance with them! This group of people all came here for this purpose!"

Chu Xiao suddenly had a bitter smile. Ruan Mengmeng was extremely beautiful and tall, but at the same time, due to her personality and family influence, she naturally had a masculine temperament. This temperament not only attracted men, but also had a strong killing power on ignorant girls.

Fortunately, they were a group of enthusiastic and beautiful young girls. If they were a few men, Miss Ruan would probably have started beating them by now.

Chu Xiao did not interfere with this request for a dance. After all, his own girl also had the freedom to enjoy the banquet. However, Ruan Mengmeng expressed full resistance and held Chu Xiao's arm tightly, refusing to let go.

In the end, it was Anna who stepped forward and persuaded the girls to leave with just a few words. Chu Xiao didn't understand what they were saying, but was inexplicably glared at several times by the girls with "vicious" eyes when they left.

The young man was confused: "What did I do? Why are they glaring at me?"

Anna shrugged: "I told them that Mengmeng's first dance must be with her boyfriend, but this scumbag was deceived by my female bodyguard, so she is very sad and has no mood to dance tonight."

After hearing these words, Chu Xiao felt a little guilty even though he knew Anna was deliberately fanning the flames. Regardless of the reason, he did leave his current "real" girlfriend behind and followed Shi Koti into the dance floor, attracting attention.

He was about to say something to his girl when he heard Anna ask Shikoti, "Shikoti, why did you suddenly think of inviting Chu Xiao to dance?"

The situation happened so suddenly that Anna didn't have time to ask. The two guys were hostile to each other at the beginning, but how long have they been together and they are actually dancing together?

Shi Kou Di looked calm with a hint of smile on her lips. She glanced at Chu Xiao, then at Ruan Meng Meng who was nestled in Chu Xiao's arms. "There's no special reason. It's just that it's rare for me to see a man I like. I want to try what it's like to steal someone's love."

"!?"

(ps: I suddenly realized that the smart girls I wrote about all have bad personalities...)

Chapter 35 Provocation

Shikoti gave a jaw-dropping and powerful reason.

She deliberately gave Ruan Mengmeng a provocative look, just like a bad woman who provokes the weak heroine in the story. But Ruan Mengmeng was not a weak girl at all. When she heard what Shi Koudi said, she wanted to jump up. If Chu Xiao hadn't held his girl tightly, who knows what would have happened.

Anna was also shocked. She blinked and looked at Shikoti first, then at Chu Xiao.

"What's wrong with you?" Anna exclaimed. "Are you serious?"

Shikoti raised her lips, provocative but gorgeous: "Of course I am serious. Why can't I like a man?"

"But! But!" Anna stammered and couldn't give a reason, because she simply couldn't imagine a scene where a woman like Shikoti fell in love with someone.

While Anna was still confused, Ruan Mengmeng had already revealed a sharp smile.

"provocative?"

"Oh, is that how you understand it?" Shikoti folded her arms, seemed to think for a moment, and then answered affirmatively, "Yes, it is a provocation."

Chu Xiao fell into a very embarrassing situation. Chu Xiao certainly didn't believe that this woman, Shi Kodi, would have any special thoughts about him. It was just that he never dreamed that Shi Kodi would play such a trick on him.

However, Chu Xiao soon realized that this reason was probably the most appropriate at this time. A single, beautiful woman took the initiative to invite a young man she had just met to dance a waltz, and maintained close contact throughout the whole process. In the eyes of others, this was already full of an ambiguous atmosphere. If there was no reasonable explanation, it would actually be easy to arouse suspicion. Moreover, after confirming this ambiguous relationship, it also provided a suitable reason for continued contact.

The problem is that Chu Xiao couldn't help but wonder whether there was some element of provocation towards Ruan Mengmeng in the excuse Shi Kodi made.

Just when the two were on the verge of a fight, a servant came to them - this was the servant beside Sir Lobelin, who came specifically to convey the Sir's intentions.

Anna was called away by her father, and Shikoti also left with her. Before leaving, this woman looked back at Chu Xiao and Ruan Mengmeng, with "provocation" almost written on her face.

Ruan Mengmeng waved her fist towards Shi Koti as if in protest.

Chu Xiao put down Ruan Mengmeng's little fist with a wry smile, thinking that he would explain the situation to Ruan Mengmeng later, otherwise, with this girl's personality, she might come to him with a knife.

After Anna and Shikoti left, the ball continued, but Chu Xiao had completely lost interest. He felt that someone like him was simply incompatible with such a luxurious upper-class dinner. Without people he knew, he had completely become a bystander. In Chu Xiao's eyes, those well-dressed gentlemen and ladies were nothing more than a group of murderers in gorgeous coats.

He has not forgotten that the group of people enjoying the dance in front of him are directly related to the disaster in the outside world.

The leisurely and beautiful classical music was still playing in my ears. In the dance floor not far away, a group of men and women in gorgeous clothes were dancing gracefully. The lights above their heads were gorgeous and bright, making the hall as bright as day. As the guests clinked glasses, they enjoyed delicacies and fine wines that were hard to imagine even on the eve of a disaster.

But compared to all these, he missed even more the simple dinner he had enjoyed with his girls on that shabby ferry.

"What are they doing now..."

The banquet lasted until late at night. Anna and Shikoti did not come back after that. They must have been called over by Mr. Jazz to arrange some things.

Chu Xiao and Ruan Mengmeng left the banquet hall, followed by the maid Aita. They did not go directly back to the room they lived in, but turned a corner and came to the deck - they did not want to return to the room that was being monitored so soon.

The cool sea breeze brushed their cheeks, and the boundless night sky stretched endlessly above their heads. Chu Xiao took his girl's arm and strolled on the deck, feeling much more relaxed.

There were quite a few people on the deck. Unlike Chu Xiao and the others who were dressed formally, the passengers on the deck were dressed casually. After seeing Chu Xiao and the others, especially after noticing that they were dressed in fancy clothes, some passengers immediately showed respect and a little fear.

This made Chu Xiao realize that there was indeed a very strict hierarchy on this ship.

The young man brought Ruan Mengmeng to the edge of the Nibelungen, and the two of them held onto the railings on the edge of the deck and looked toward the sea. Even though the lights of the Nibelungen were bright at night, they still couldn't illuminate the darkness of the sea, let alone the scene further away.

Chu Xiao looked into the distance as far as he could. He wanted to see the lights on the dilapidated ferry, because in this way he would at least know where the girls were at the moment. But at the same time, he did not want their ship to appear nearby, because it meant that his girls would be in considerable risk. Chu Xiao would rather they stay in a safe place and wait for him and Ruan Mengmeng to find a chance to go back.

"Are you bringing your girlfriend here to see the scenery so late at night?" A somewhat clumsy voice sounded beside me. Although the accent was a bit strange, the voice was very nice, with a sexy hoarseness and maturity.

Chu Xiao turned around and found that it was the female doctor who had bandaged his wound before. She was not wearing the white coat at this moment, but a casual and light suspender skirt, which fluttered in the night wind, vaguely revealing her charming body under the skirt.

"Hello, doctor." Chu Xiao greeted.

"You can call me Heidi," Dr. Heidi smiled, and then addressed Chu Xiao affectionately by her last name, "Good evening, Chu."

Meeting Dr. Heidi here was truly unexpected. Chu Xiao remembered that in the afternoon, Dr. Heidi had said that she was looking forward to seeing Chu Xiao at the dinner. Although Dr. Heidi did not show up in the end, did that mean that this charming female doctor in front of him had at least Class B authority?

"Didn't you say you would meet me at the banquet?" Chu Xiao asked, chatting with the doctor. "I was actually looking forward to it."

"Oh, I have to apologize, because it's really my fault," Heidi took out a lady's cigarette, lit it, and blew out a faint smoke ring with some melancholy, "I had prepared a beautiful new dress to show off my style at the party, but at the last minute I had to deal with an emergency work, so I had to cancel the appointment."

Heidi blinked her big eyes and deliberately stuck close to Chu Xiao, completely ignoring Ruan Mengmeng's murderous gaze: "Then why don't you come to my room? I can apologize to you properly."

After saying this, she even glanced at Ruan Mengmeng, and then added: "Of course, I wouldn't mind at all if you bring your girlfriend along."

(ps: something happened, my mind was in a mess when I wrote it, and I was completely affected by my mood)

Chapter 36 Late Night

Dr. Heidi's overly open attitude was so overwhelming that even someone as thick-skinned as Chu Xiao could not handle it.

Of course he wouldn't agree, although Chu Xiao couldn't deny that he was a little moved for a moment - after all, although Dr. Heidi's appearance was not as good as the girl next to him, her mature and charming feeling made people think of the kind of female health teachers that often appeared in fan books...

Of course, before Chu Xiao could make a statement, the girl next to him got furious.

Ruan Mengmeng was in a good mood, walking with her brother Xiao under the beautiful night sky, enjoying the sea breeze, it can be said that they were in a perfect world for two people - as for Etta's pretty little tail, Ruan Mengmeng generously ignored it. Ruan Mengmeng's personality is passionate and straightforward, but she still has the softness of a girl in her heart.

As a result, she had just forgotten the unpleasantness caused by Shi Koti's provocation, but not long after that, a busty woman suddenly appeared and disturbed them!

The girl took a fierce look at the deep ravines that were displayed under Dr. Heidi's suspender skirt, snorted hard, raised her head, and stood in front of her, as if she was ready to fight. Ruan Mengmeng was very tall, and Heidi was not short, but she was still shorter than Ruan Mengmeng.

Chu Xiao was really worried that his girl would not be able to resist fighting with Dr. Heidi. He was not worried that his girl would suffer a loss. After all, except for a slight setback when fighting with Shi Koudi, Ruan Mengmeng was invincible all the way unless she encountered a non-human monster.

However, facing the aggressive girl in front of her, Dr. Heidi not only did not back down, but instead looked Ruan Mengmeng up and down with interest, her eyes became more and more fiery, and she even stretched out her tongue and licked the corner of her mouth slightly. That look made Ruan Mengmeng shudder all over, feeling very strange.

Dr. Heidi chuckled and said, "I forgot to tell you that I am actually bisexual."

This sentence made Ruan Mengmeng's face turn ugly, because she couldn't tell whether what the female doctor in front of her said was true or false.

"Doctor Heidi," Chu Xiao gently pulled his girl into his arms, and hugged the girl's slender and elastic waist affectionately, "Thank you for your kindness, but Mengmeng and I have finally enjoyed this safe and peaceful life. Now we just want to live in a world of two."

He politely declined: "After all, you probably know how precarious our lives were before. I'm afraid it will take some time for us to get out of those shadows."

Dr. Heidi shrugged, with a look of regret on her face: "Okay, okay, it seems that I overestimated my charm. However, I will interpret your tactful refusal as elegant reserve. Now, I am more interested in you."

The beautiful and mature female doctor walked up to Chu Xiao leisurely. She exuded a strong, alluring perfume: "When you are free, you can come to the infirmary to find me. I can help you get out of the shadow of the past. The bed there is very soft."

"I'll go when I'm free."

Dr. Heidi chuckled, and a "mountain" somewhere on her body trembled with her laughter, like branches and flowers. Then she turned and strolled to other places on the deck, leaving only the fragrance that had not yet dissipated in the air.

"Oh, right." Doctor Heidi suddenly turned around and said, "Don't stay on the deck for too long. The weather at sea is very changeable. There might be storms soon."

"Thanks for the reminder, doctor," Chu Xiao smiled and waved to Dr. Heidi, "We will be back after a little more wind."

Chu Xiao breathed a sigh of relief only after Heidi disappeared from the deck.

"Brother Xiao, that woman..." Ruan Mengmeng asked in a low voice.

Chu Xiao hugged Ruan Mengmeng's waist and rested his chin on the girl's exposed smooth shoulder in an intimate posture. He lowered his voice and said in the girl's ear: "Doctor Heidi has a strong smell of blood. Although she covered it with perfume, I can still smell it at a close distance."

After these days of adventures, Chu Xiao has become extremely familiar with the smell of blood, and he is sure that he was not wrong.

The appearance of Dr. Heidi and the worrying doubts about her made the two of them lose the mood to continue walking. After walking casually for a while, they returned to the suite on the upper floor accompanied by the maid Etta.

The room was still the same as it was before they left, and the air was still filled with the relaxing aromatherapy scent. The room had been carefully tidied, with brand new pajamas folded on the bed, and brand new casual clothes hung in the closet for them to change into.

Everything seemed extremely considerate, but since Chu Xiao already knew about the existence of the eavesdropping device, he couldn't relax even in such a comfortable environment.

Ruan Mengmeng was still wearing a dress, and Etta accompanied her into the bedroom and helped her take off her red dress. Through the bedroom door, Chu Xiao could hear the rustling sound of the girl taking off her clothes and her complaints. Chu Xiao felt that if there were no bugs or outsiders in the room, he would probably push the door open and walk in.

Chu Xiao shook his head in self-mockery. He unbuttoned his shirt, took off his coat, threw it aside, and sat down on the sofa, feeling the exhaustion of the whole day starting to surge up. After all, there were so many things that happened that day that he couldn't calm down. In the morning, he was still collecting supplies on an uninhabited island and fighting with the armed men who broke in unexpectedly. But not long after, on the same night, he attended a lavish dinner party and was in a luxurious and high-end suite with his own girl, and there was also a beautiful maid by his side.

There was a sound of water coming from the bedroom. It should be Ruan Mengmeng going into the bathroom to wash up before going to bed. At this time, the maid Aita walked out of the bedroom and stood beside Chu Xiao, as quiet as a beautiful doll.

The living room became very quiet. Neither side spoke, just letting time pass by quietly.

"Eta..." Chu Xiao called.

"Master, I'm here." Aita replied respectfully.

Chu Xiao stopped talking. He didn't know why he suddenly called her. Maybe it was just because he didn't like this kind of silence. So for a moment he didn't know what to say next, or what order to give to Eta.

The expression of Eta in front of him was very calm and she was completely defenseless, which reminded Chu Xiao of an angel robot that appeared in an animation he had watched before. Chu Xiao believed that if he gave her any excessive orders now, Eta would definitely follow them and would not have any complaints.

After hesitating for a moment, Chu Xiao ordered: "Please... heat me a cup of milk."

"Okay, master."

Eta completed Chu Xiao's order quickly and the temperature of the milk was just right.

The living room fell into silence again, but there was a sound of wind outside the window. Just as Heidi said, the weather at sea changed very quickly. In the first half of the night, the moon was dim, but in the second half, there was a real storm.

Chapter 37 Dancing

The wind outside the porthole was very strong. Looking out the window, I could see that the night sky was covered with a layer of dark clouds. The violent wind was tearing the sea surface apart. Raindrops as big as beans fell from the sky and exploded on the glass.

The sound of the waves became violent, like countless crazy roars in the dark night.

Compared to the crests and swells on the sea, the Nibelungen was still very stable. Chu Xiao stayed in the room and could not even feel the slightest ups and downs. The sudden wind and waves on the sea seemed to be just a ripple that was not worth paying attention to for this incredibly large ship.

Chu Xiao stayed in the warm room, with Etta standing beside him. In contrast, the ship really seemed like a safe and warm paradise. However, Chu Xiao's mind inevitably turned to An Suxin and her group.

No matter how much he believed that his girls had enough ability to avoid risks, he couldn't help but worry at this time. He could only try his best to tell himself that as long as the girls stayed on the island and didn't wander around, this level of wind and rain would not have any impact on them. Maybe at this time, they were staying in a luxurious villa, sleeping on a soft bed, watching the rain through the window, and they would fall asleep peacefully listening to the sound of the rain, without worrying about any risks.

However, no matter how Chu Xiao forced himself to think about this problem, he still could not deny a possibility - would those girls drive the dilapidated ferry to the sea?

How could this be... He comforted himself in his heart and tried to find many reasons to convince himself.

——Gu Ke was injured and needed to rest, Su Su was so weak, Yun Duo was just a child, and the only one left who might act impulsively was her younger sister Chu Yan, but that girl had been a smart girl since she was a child, no matter how worried she was, she would definitely make the right choice, and besides, there was Su Xin watching them. Su Xin had always been a rational and calm person, and she would definitely be able to judge the situation and would not put herself and the girls in danger.

However, even though he found so many reasons for himself, Chu Xiao couldn't help but consider the possibility of danger. He could do nothing but stay here, and couldn't even show the slightest worry. Eta was staying by his side. Chu Xiao couldn't be sure. Although the maid sent here was nominally his, who could guarantee that this maid wasn't specially arranged to monitor them?

The bedroom door opened, and Ruan Mengmeng came out in her nightgown. Her hair was disheveled, and because she had just gotten out of the bath, it was still a little damp. Under the soft light in the room, this cool girl had a different kind of softness. She was wearing a close-fitting suspender nightgown, the hem of which was slightly above the girl's knees, revealing a pair of straight calves. The girl was not wearing shoes, but was stepping on the carpet in the room with her bare, smooth feet.

Ruan Mengmeng first glanced at Eta who was standing beside Chu Xiao, then walked over to sit next to Chu Xiao, and followed Chu Xiao's gaze to look out the window.

She didn't say anything, but Chu Xiao knew that the girl was thinking the same thing as he was, but she couldn't express her worries out loud due to the current situation.

The girl's body smelled of shower gel, and her loose suspender nightgown drooped slightly. Although the undulation under the neckline was a bit regrettable, the looming outline could bring a different kind of excitement.

Chu Xiao felt a little regretful. If it weren't for the current situation of being monitored which was really depressing, the current environment could be regarded as a honeymoon with Mengmeng.

"Eta, where are you sleeping tonight?" Chu Xiao asked.

Aita replied: "If you don't make other arrangements, I can sleep in the small bedroom reserved for servants."

"Okay, just go over there and rest." After making arrangements for Eta, Chu Xiao looked at the girl beside him again.

Ruan Mengmeng opened her mouth and smiled brightly, without any rejection or guard at all, and the meaning was very clear - as boyfriend and girlfriend, of course they had to sleep in the same bed.
