Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

By now, the day had already dawned.

Fu Shinan was catching her breath, never expecting to dream of her benefactor at this moment. She hoped he was still safe and sound, and definitely not turned into a zombie as in her dream.

Following the light from outside, Fu Shinan finally got a clear look at Ji Zan’s attire. He resembled an African tribesman…

Ji Zan pushed open the metal door to check the situation outside. However, he quickly retreated. The sunlight outside were still quite intense, and being exposed to them was no different from being naked. His skin immediately felt the burning sensation. When he turned around, he saw Fu Shinan sitting on the ground, looking at him with a strange expression.

In that moment, Ji Zan wished he could find a hole to hide in. However, even in this situation, he managed to maintain an expression as if nothing had happened. His cold and resolute face showed no signs of cracking. “Are you awake?” he asked.

Fu Shinan, feeling embarrassed, touched her nose and responded, “Are you planning to go outside?”

“To find some supplies,” Ji Zan replied, pushing open the broken door once more. Despite the awkwardness, staying inside like this was not an option.

Fu Shinan hesitated for a moment before making a decision! She took off the plastic bag on her body. “My bag is big enough. You can wear it first. “As she spoke, she curled up her body and leaned back.

“You better cover up with this,” Ji Zan immediately refused, without a second thought. Even though having these two pieces wouldn’t make much of a difference to him, he didn’t want Fu Shinan to be exposed. That would be too awkward.

Fu Shinan casually tossed the plastic bag aside and said, “I’ll stay here for now and wait for you. You can use these to shield yourself, which will reduce the exposure to UV rays.”

Ji Zan felt a bit uneasy looking at the colorful fabric but understood that not covering himself would mean risking his skin, even with his healing abilities. He reluctantly accepted, “Alright, you stay here.”

“Okay,” she replied, even though it was clear she couldn’t go out with the intense UV radiation and nothing to wear.

After a while, the sun grew hotter, and inside the metal container, Fu Shinan found it increasingly difficult to breathe. Unable to bear it any longer, she kicked open the door, and to her surprise, she saw Ji Zan approaching from a distance, draped in a huge piece of black floral-patterned cloth.

Ji Zan had one piece of the fabric wrapped around his head and face, another tied around his waist, and the rest draped over his body. Judging by the color and thickness, it seemed to be a curtain. His hands were filled with instant noodles, and he looked rather comical.

“You must be anxious from waiting.” Ji Zan walked into the iron house. Although he was wrapped tightly, it was still very hot. Moreover, his body was still naked underneath, so he could not walk too fast.

Fu Shinan couldn’t help but laugh when she saw his expression. At this moment, she realized that it had been a long time since she last laughed like this. It seemed that ever since her mother passed away, nothing happy had happened.

Ji Zan’s expression soured; he was being laughed at. He tossed the remaining piece of fabric over Fu Shinan’s head and turned to leave. However, once outside, he couldn’t help but chuckle. Their current state was indeed comical, but he clenched his teeth and maintained his composure. Regardless of the situation, he couldn’t afford to lose his dignity.

“Done laughing?” Ji Zan waited outside until there was no more laughter coming from inside before re-entering.

Fu Shinan rubbed her aching cheeks and lowered her head, “I’m sorry, I couldn’t help it…”

“I searched around, but there’s no water. Let’s eat these dry noodles,” Ji Zan didn’t want to dwell on the laughter. He tore open the instant noodle packet and started eating.

Fu Shinan didn’t dare to look at him any longer; otherwise, she would burst into laughter again. She took out a noodle cake and began chewing. After finishing the food, the long-lost feeling of satiety brought some calmness to her mood.

” We have to find a set of normal clothes to wear immediately,” Ji Zan said again.” And transportation. This place is too far from An Town.”

Fu Shinan also tidied herself up.” Yes, it’s too hot here. We have to find a place to rest before dark.” Otherwise, this iron sheet will suffocate us to death.” The two of them tidied themselves up and left the iron house.

However, they had only taken a few steps when they heard someone shout, “Mother Earth, Lingqu Mountain, the last hope of mankind!”

When the two of them heard this familiar voice, they immediately looked in the direction of the voice. It was really the crazy man he had seen in An Town last time. He ran out of the ruins and disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if he had not seen them at all..
