Recap
“Are you refusing to buy them for me? You don’t love me, do you? You even hesitated.” Rong Yu suddenly got angry, “Ming Huai would have bought them all for me without a second thought.”
Yan Zhao: “Okay, okay, I’ll buy them for you.”
Three seconds later.
“Who is Ming Huai again?!”
The woman shuddered. These two must not fight at her stall.
Rong Yu said calmly, “My ex-boyfriend.”
___
Ex-boyfriend?
Ex-husband, ex-fiancé, ex-boyfriend, he really had it all.
He, the friend with benefits, was the one without a title, the lowest in status.
“The one surnamed Fu just popped up, and now there’s another one surnamed Ming.” Yan Zhao laughed through gritted teeth, “You don’t even give me any buffer time to prepare myself mentally.”
These words were truly humble and self-deprecating.
Rong Yu added fuel to the fire: “His surname is not Ming, it’s Gu, his name is Gu Minghuai.”
“Gu… So you still call his name so intimately?!”
Yan Zhao gradually became expressionless: “How many exes do you have, tell me all at once.”
Come on, he could take it.
He was too naive, how could there be only two exes. Rong Yu had experienced countless small worlds, he could completely change a man in each world, or even be in love everywhere in the same world… When the Demon King let himself go, the whole world would fall under his red clothes.
One was an “other man”, two were also “other men”, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, it made no difference.
“Actually, there aren’t that many, just one left.” Rong Yu said, “A ghost marriage.”
Yan Zhao almost broke his voice: “You even had a relationship with a ghost?!”
The woman trembled at his roar.
Unexpectedly, this fair-skinned young man was quite a player… The woman looked at Yan Zhao with sympathy, the man reacted so strongly, obviously unaware of the young man’s philandering.
Hopefully, the two wouldn’t break up on the spot, at least wait until the jewelry was bought before breaking up… The woman prayed silently, if the man didn’t buy the young man a gift because of anger, her dinner would be gone.
Rong Yu looked at Yan Zhao calmly: “Are you yelling at me?”
Yan Zhao’s volume immediately decreased: “No, I’m not.”
“Then why are you yelling at me?” Rong Yu retorted unceremoniously, “I’m not two-timing, having exes is normal, why are you angry? What right do you have to be angry? You’re not even a boat.”
You’re not even a boat.
These words were a critical hit, directly emptying Yan Zhao’s health bar.
He had no name or status, indeed he had no right to be angry.
Rong Yu, however, seemed to be angry and turned to leave.
Yan Zhao hurriedly went to chase after him.
The woman hurriedly shouted: “Hey, are you still buying the jewelry?!”
She was not willing to let go of such a big deal.
Yan Zhao stopped, it was not good to chase after him empty-handed, he had to appease Rong Rong with gifts.
“Buy.” Yan Zhao rubbed his temples, “Wrap them all up.”
The woman said cautiously: “One pack of instant noodles for one piece, there are a total of twenty pieces here…”
Yan Zhao directly took out five boxes from the space. After learning how to cook, he no longer let Rong Yu eat instant noodles and other such foods, and there was a pile of food in the space that no one ate. Most of it was handed over to the base yesterday, and the rest was simply taken out.
The woman’s eyes straightened when she saw the five boxes of food, there were all kinds of flavors, a total of one hundred packs.
What kind of living Buddha had she encountered!
She actually guessed right, this person in front of her was really a living god.
The woman was almost knocked unconscious by the huge surprise, stammering: “Wait a moment, I, I’ll wrap them up for you.”
“No need.” Yan Zhao put all the jewelry into the space and hurried to catch up.
The woman watched for a moment, then turned her gaze back to the several boxes of instant noodles, pinching her face to confirm that she was not dreaming. Her stall was very remote, except for the child next to her, no one saw this scene. The woman looked around cautiously, preparing to close the stall early and secretly move the things back to the tent, lest they be robbed.
The child looked eagerly, trying hard to swallow his saliva, without shouting loudly.
The woman saw his eyes, thought of the half box of biscuits he gave her, and beckoned to him: “Child, where are your parents?”
The child lowered his head: “They turned into zombies.”
The woman’s nose ached. She remembered that the child’s parents were very poor, so he went out to sell things at such a young age, unlike her child, who grew up in a honeypot.
Now the child’s parents were dead, and her husband and son were also dead.
Whether poor or rich, there was no difference in the face of death.
“Come here and help me carry things.” The woman said softly, “We’ll eat the things inside together, and I’ll be your mother from now on, okay?”
The child looked at her and nodded: “Okay.”
They had no abilities, just ordinary people struggling to survive in the apocalypse.
The weak also wanted to live.

Rong Yu didn’t go far when he ran into two people.
There were stalls on both sides, the aisle in the middle was narrow, only enough for two people to walk side by side. The two people in front were walking shoulder to shoulder, completely blocking the road.
The two of them were walking and looking all the way, walking slowly, blocking the way of many people, but no one dared to pass, because they recognized one of them as Chen Ruifeng, a level four lightning ability user from Area B.
Such strength was enough to look down upon Area D, even customers from other areas were not willing to provoke this strong man.
Chen Ruifeng appeared in Area D to accompany his female companion to buy things. In Area D, many desperate men and women would sell their bodies to exchange for necessities for survival, his female companion was one of them. She was a female star before the apocalypse, and Chen Ruifeng was her avid fan. At that time, the goddess was unattainable, he was a poor loser who didn’t even have the chance to meet her. But after the apocalypse, the female star who had no abilities fell to Area D, fortunately, she found a strong man like Chen Ruifeng to live a good life.
After getting his hands on the former goddess, Chen Ruifeng lost interest. But the woman still had a beautiful face, Chen Ruifeng would go to Area D to find her for sex at regular intervals, leaving one or two packs of instant noodles as payment each time. Occasionally, he would also accompany her to the trading market and buy her things, but the deeper purpose was to show off the beautiful woman to satisfy the subtle vanity of “Look, I got my hands on the female star”.
Out of awe for the level four lightning ability user, all the customers stayed far away from them to avoid unnecessary trouble. It was said that Chen Ruifeng was very petty and vindictive. Anyone who offended him would be electrocuted on the spot if they were an ordinary person, and if they were an ability user, they would never return when they went out to search for resources. If asked, he would say that they were bitten by zombies, who knew the truth? A human who could push his companion into a horde of zombies was more terrifying than a zombie. The base wouldn’t hold a level four lightning ability user accountable for them either, this was an era where the strong were respected. Level four meant that no matter how bad his morals were, he could still make a great contribution to the base.
No one dared to oppose him.
Rong Yu had no such awareness.
He said unceremoniously, “Excuse me.”
Chen Ruifeng turned his head impatiently, wanting to see who was so bold as to dare to make him give way. When he saw the thin young man in front of him, his expression changed: “It’s you?”
Rong Yu lifted his eyelids: “Who are you?”
This was the first time that Chen Ruifeng recognized the other party, but the other party didn’t recognize him.
The vendors on both sides cautiously gathered their goods in front of them. This young man offended Chen Ruifeng, they didn’t know if this small body could withstand the beating, Chen Ruifeng must not affect them when he electrocuted people as a lesson.
They were not indifferent onlookers from the beginning, they had seen too many cases of bullying, and they couldn’t protect themselves, so they just wanted to stay out of trouble.
Chen Ruifeng narrowed his eyes: “I didn’t expect you to still be alive, you’re really lucky.”
Rong Yu tried hard to search for relevant images in the original owner’s memory.
Oh, he remembered.
The direct cause of Xi Wang’s death was being submerged by a horde of zombies, but the one who pushed him into the horde of zombies was a crazy convoy.
Chen Ruifeng was the captain of the convoy.
It was Chen Ruifeng who came up with the idea of pushing someone else out at that critical moment, exchanging one life for the safety of the whole car.
This method was cold-blooded but effective. The core members of this convoy all arrived at City A base safe and sound, and the strangers who joined halfway were all used as scapegoats and died. Chen Ruifeng even went from a level three ability user to a level four ability user in just a few days, his life was smooth sailing.
The person who should have died appeared in front of him intact, Chen Ruifeng was a little surprised, but he didn’t look guilty. He assumed that Rong Yu was lucky enough to be saved by someone. He didn’t feel any ability fluctuations from Rong Yu, it was impossible for the other party to become a stronger expert than him in a short period of time, so the other party must still be an ordinary person like before.
What was there to care about an ordinary person. After mastering powerful abilities, Chen Ruifeng had long felt that ability users and ordinary people were not the same race.
Rong Yu suddenly realized: “Oh, so it’s Captain Chen who relied on pushing others out of the car to attract zombies and used human lives as stepping stones all the way here.”
He said with a half-smile, “You’re still alive too.”
Chen Ruifeng’s face suddenly turned vicious. Although he had a bad reputation in the base, Rong Yu was the first to expose him in public.
Lightning gathered in his palm, he was determined to kill Rong Yu to silence him. Deaths occurred every day in Area D, people starved to death, died of illness, were beaten to death for robbing things, one more death wouldn’t make anyone seek justice.
Chen Ruifeng obviously regarded Rong Yu as a person from Area D. In his eyes, Rong Yu, who couldn’t carry anything on his shoulders or hands and had no abilities, only deserved to stay in Area D. As for why he was so clean and this pretty boy looked so handsome, he probably found a backer with some ability user. Just like the woman next to him, wasn’t she also well-dressed?
Chen Ruifeng was not afraid of offending other ability users, unless the other party was above level four, but would such a strong person care about a plaything in Area D?
Little did he know that Rong Yu came from Area A. Even the original owner, Xi Wang, stayed in Area A by his own ability. The safety level of a genius scientist who could develop a zombie vaccine was even higher than that of the chief, he was the hope of mankind.
In comparison, Chen Ruifeng was just a small fry, not worth mentioning.
Just as Chen Ruifeng was about to electrocute Rong Yu as a lesson, Yan Zhao caught up, patted Rong Yu’s shoulder, and conjured a pile of jewelry from the space: “Here you go, smash them however you want.”
The lightning in Chen Ruifeng’s palm disappeared. The base had a rule that fights between ability users that resulted in serious injury or death were strictly prohibited. Humans already had few survivors, they couldn’t afford infighting.
He didn’t dare to openly violate the rules of the base, those ability users who had grudges against him were all taken outside the base before he found an opportunity to eliminate them.
Although he stopped attacking, the contempt in Chen Ruifeng’s eyes couldn’t be concealed: “So you found a space ability user as a backer.”
Space ability was known for being auxiliary, although high-level space ability users would evolve terrifying attack power, but they were a minority after all.
Chen Ruifeng was absolutely sure that the pretty boy’s man couldn’t beat him.
He looked at the jewelry that appeared out of thin air with mockery: “Giving a pile of worthless broken stones in the apocalypse, how shabby. Brother, are you just playing with him?”
Yan Zhao was annoyed. Who was this person? He was trying to coax Rong Yu to calm down, and there was someone next to him adding fuel to the fire.
Rong Yu smiled lukewarmly: “Yes, I was just playing around.”
Chen Ruifeng sneered: “It seems that you also know what kind of plaything you are.”
As soon as these words were spoken, before Rong Yu could react, Yan Zhao punched him.
“What’s wrong with being a plaything?” Yan Zhao was hit where it hurt and used brute force, “What’s wrong with him playing with me? I’m willing! Do I need you to remind me?!”
Chen Ruifeng: “…”
