Chapter 14 - Secret
It was unknown how long it took before Tang Ruo dug up all the radishes in the field.
She found a treasure.
Tang Ruo was very happy holding the big carrot. But after such a tiring night, she fell asleep in the warehouse.
After falling asleep in space, she woke up in reality.
When she woke up, she saw her head resting on Bai Qi’s chest again.
Tang Ruo: “…”
After the first time, it was not so difficult to accept the second time. Now, apart from the fact that she was not wearing any clothes, she did not feel anything else.
It turns out that this is how people degenerate!
Oh, ever since she traveled through time, she has parted ways with her moral integrity!
She sat up and looked at the watch on her wrist. It showed 8:20 in the morning. Since the watch had a date on it, she knew it was the next morning.
She slept for so long.
Remembering what Bai Qi said before—that he would have a fever—Tang Ruo saw that he was still sleeping, so she reached out and touched his head. It was hot. She wanted to go to the bathroom and use a towel to dip it in water to cool him down, but the water that came out was no longer clear. She tried it with a silver spoon, and it was indeed a little black.
Tang Ruo had no choice but to take out the mineral water in her space. However, when she used the mineral water to wash, she felt that it was too wasteful, and then she thought of the stream in her space.
After trying it, she found that she could not take things outside the warehouse directly with her mind. She had to put things outside the warehouse into the warehouse before she could take them.
Then next time, just put the stream water in a basin.
After washing up, Tang Ruo put a towel on Bai Qi and went downstairs to prepare breakfast.
There is still electricity now, but you never know when it will go out. Tang Ruo cooked century egg and lean meat porridge and steamed a lot of buns with various flavors. Afterward, she started stewing various pork rib soups and stir-frying various dishes… Of course, the most popular ones are the radish and pork rib soup.
In an hour, the entire dining table was filled with various plates and soup bowls.
After checking the time, Tang Ruo went upstairs to see Bai Qi again.
They had only known each other for one day. It seemed that she had seen him the moment she opened her eyes and that she was wearing the same ring as his. Tang Ruo subconsciously regarded him as the only person in the world she cared about.
In fact, she also lacked a serious sense of security. Since her grandmother passed away, she seems to have lost her only spiritual support. Now someone came to fill this vacancy, and Tang Ruo directly identified Bai Qi as the right person.
At this moment, Bai Qi no longer had a fever and was not sweating; he was just still sleeping.
Tang Ruo heard the sound of fighting downstairs, pulled open the curtains, looked downstairs, and saw the scene she saw in the hotel yesterday.
Several corpses were lying downstairs, but those corpses could no longer be considered human. They were all zombie corpses. Next to them were people holding axes or wrenches, and others were being held and crying miserably.
Tang Ruo sighed. Facing such a world, she was just an ordinary person who could barely protect herself. She could not help these people at all.
Among the group of people holding weapons, Tang Ruo found the security guard and his son from yesterday. Although they looked reluctant, their eyes were full of determination.
It seems that they also know the harm of this group of zombies, and they are among the first people to wake up and adjust their mentality. It’s just that they were reluctant to buy material things yesterday. They probably still believe that, under the control of the government, the world can return to normal.
Tang Ruo thought again of Bai Qi’s affirmative tone yesterday. Such a confident tone made her lose confidence in the government here.
The next step was to deal with the body by pouring gasoline on it and burning it directly in the community square.
Tang Ruo closed the curtains, turned around, and saw Bai Qi, who had opened his eyes and was lying motionless on the bed.
“Are you feeling better?”
Bai Qi on the bed looked too unfamiliar, and his sharp eyes made people shudder. Tang Ruo didn’t dare to walk in, but just stood by the window and asked him quietly.
Lord Bai Yan, please be normal!
This morning, when Bai Qi had a fever, Tang Ruo secretly took out his ID card and learned his real name.
If you can’t even call out the other person’s name when something important happens, you’re truly Spartan.
Bai Qi turned around and saw Tang Ruo, and then he felt that everything that happened yesterday was not a dream. He was really back, and not in that dirty and messy shed in City A after the apocalypse.
“It will probably take a while before I can recover my normal strength.” Bai Qi was in a daze for a while, sat up with his head covered, rubbed his face hard, and got up to wash.
Although Tang Ruo cooked a table full of dishes, she herself did not have breakfast, so the two of them ate hot, preserved eggs, meat porridge, and buns at the dining table.
“Are we going out again today?” After packing up and cooking some food, Tang Ruo saw Bai Qi still sitting at the table, planning the route map, so she went over and sat down.
Bai Qi raised his head: “Maybe there are still armed police guarding the doors of various stores outside today, so we can’t buy too many things.”
“Is that so?” Suddenly, Tang Ruo thought of an important thing, “Oh, by the way, can we go out and buy some seeds?”
“Buy seeds and grow them yourself?”
Tang Ruo nodded.
“After the end of the world, the ultraviolet rays will be extremely strong, and all the things planted will be directly killed by the radiation. Moreover, the water source is polluted, and nothing can be planted without water.” Bai Qi was realistic and wanted Tang Ruo to give up this idea.
After the end of the world, only the base in City A in the imperial capital has greenhouse plant cultivation.
Tang Ruo thought about it, pursed her lips, and decided to tell the truth: “They are not grown outside, but here.” As she said that, she took out a basket of radishes that she had dug last night from the space.
When she died in her previous life, she was only 21 years old. She fell ill at the age of 18, which was her first year in college. She had no parental guidance and no nagging from her peers. In her previous life, she lived a simple and honest life by her grandmother’s side. After her grandmother passed away, she reduced her contact with people even more. Until she was admitted to the hospital, she was still accompanied by a nurse in the hospital. She always felt that there were more good people than bad people in the world.
As for Bai Qi, who had been bound to her since she traveled through time, Tang Ruo really couldn’t think of deceiving or lying to him.
Facing such a’straightforward’ Tang Ruo, Bai Qi was stunned for a moment: “Your space can also be used for planting?”
In his previous life, he had heard rumors that the person who developed the space from the jade pendant also had a planting space, but he always thought it was just a rumor.
Now he was feeling a little weird. In the apocalypse, everyone would hide their secrets, even in front of strangers. But this silly girl told him everything without reservation.
In the end times, telling others such a big secret is equivalent to handing your life into the other person’s hands.
What kind of trust could make her tell him such a big secret?
