Reborn in the Post-Apocalyptic World: Building Infrastructure

Su Ling walked to the bed and comforted gently, "Don't be afraid. We are all survivors. Sir, may I ask if you are also from the hospital?"

The man shook his head and said with an unpleasant expression, "No, I'm just passing by. What on earth is happening here?"

Sheng Hongye picked up a piece of bread and took a bite before calmly saying, "It's the end of the world, earthquakes, natural disasters."

The man's mouth fell open in shock. "Is this for real? How is that possible?"

Su Ling shrugged helplessly. "If you don't believe it, just check your phone."

The man immediately reached into his pocket and took out a shabby and broken cellphone. Upon checking, there was indeed no signal.

He cursed under his breath. "Could all this be true?"

Li Xueying couldn't resist chiming in. "Of course it's true. Otherwise, could it be fake? If you don't believe it, you can spend a night in the corridor and see for yourself."

The man completely ignored her and looked at Sheng Hongye. "What's your plan?"

Sheng Hongye finished eating the bread and took a sip of water before responding, "We will head to Lizhou in three days. If you're willing, you can temporarily follow us."

The man's hearty eating made it hard for Su Ling to associate him with a high-class and dignified CEO. However, she couldn't deny that Sheng Hongye exuded a masculine charm and explosive hormones with every move.

Lost in thought, the man turned his face to her. "Miss, are you a doctor?"

Su Ling was slightly surprised but nodded. "Yes, I'm a surgeon."

After a moment of hesitation, the man said, "Okay, I'll follow you."

Li Xueying glared fiercely at Su Ling and turned her face away.

Then, the man introduced himself as Liu Yu, an accountant from a small company. He got trapped here when he was sent to the hospital to deliver financial statements for the company's boss, who was hospitalized.

After the introductions, Geng Hao also woke up and quickly became friendly with Liu Yu.

Finally, Su Ling carefully observed Liu Yu. He dressed maturely, though he didn't appear very old, probably around twenty-three or twenty-four. He had a somewhat delicate appearance, but his hair was sparse. Judging from the thickness of his glasses, Liu Yu must have severe nearsightedness.

The following time was quite dull. Seven people crowded into a small hospital room of about six to seven square meters, making it feel extremely cramped. Although the room had a bathroom, it wasn't soundproof, and the rushing water noises made Su Ling feel uncomfortable just thinking about it, especially as a girl.

However, what embarrassed her even more happened later. Sheng Hongye pulled out a pack of sanitary napkins with the brand name "Seven Degrees Space" from his pocket and handed it to Su Ling.

"This is what Miss Su asked for."

Almost everyone's eyes looked at the item in Sheng Hongye's hand. At that moment, Su Ling wished she could find a hole to hide in.

"Thank you."

She snatched the sanitary napkins and rushed into the bathroom.

Looking at her face, red as a ripe tomato, in the mirror, Su Ling quickly cupped some water in her hands and splashed it on her face to cool down.

After a while, she calmed down slowly.

The fact that Sheng Hongye could bring her such items was enough to prove that he had suspicions about Guan Shan and got these for the sake of showing it to him.

Forget it, even a man like him wasn't embarrassed to hold these things; why should she be so coy?

However, with this move, Li Xueying was probably going to go mad.

In fact, Su Ling's guess was correct. Seeing Sheng Hongye helping her with the sanitary napkins, Li Xueying's face turned livid with anger. She forced herself to control her expression, but her eyes nearly burned a hole in the bathroom door.

Five minutes later, Su Ling deliberately walked out holding the open packet of sanitary napkins. Her delicate face had returned to normal.

Sheng Hongye raised an eyebrow and glanced at her. Su Ling's composure impressed him.

Feeling Sheng Hongye's gaze, the flush that had just receded nearly rose again.

Su Ling quickly shifted her focus to Geng Hao's leg, asking a few questions to steady her emotions.

In the blink of an eye, it was already afternoon. Su Ling hadn't slept all night and couldn't help but feel drowsy.

Sheng Hongye carefully hugged Gu Kai Xuan to the side.

"Miss Su, why don't you lie down and rest for a while?"

Su Ling was extremely tired and quickly nodded to Sheng Hongye before settling next to Gu Kai Xuan. However, she was awakened by a loud banging noise. When she saw the swinging iron plate, she realized that it was already dark outside.

Although the iron plate provided increased security, everyone still refrained from sleeping.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. Due to Geng Hao's severe injuries, Sheng Hongye decided to let him continue with the intravenous drip for another day.

Meanwhile, Sheng Hongye and Su Ling went out to search for survivors and supplies. At night, everyone huddled in the small hospital room.

On the morning of the fourth day, Li Xueying finally couldn't take it anymore and complained, "Brother Hong, when can we leave this place? I want to take a shower. I feel so uncomfortable."

Over the past few days, Li Xueying had been seeking attention in various ways, but apart from Guan Shan and Sheng Hongye, no one paid much attention to her. Seeing her acting so affected, Liu Yu simply turned his face away.

Su Ling was also feeling suffocated, so she took the opportunity to get some fresh air when it was light outside.

As she approached the car, she heard footsteps behind her. When she turned around, she saw that it was Guan Shan.

Su Ling nodded to him, and Guan Shan walked up to her.

"Miss Su, can we talk?" he asked.

Su Ling's heart skipped a beat, and she asked cautiously, "Mr. Guan, if you have something to say, just say it."

Guan Shan suddenly leaned closer and whispered, "With Miss Su's medical skills, you can thrive anywhere. Why endure here?"

Su Ling took a step back. "Mr. Guan, are you suggesting..."

Guan Shan glanced back at the hospital and said in a low voice, "I can take you to a place where there are abundant supplies."

Su Ling frowned. "Doesn't Mr. Guan want to stay with Mr. Sheng?"

Guan Shan smirked and replied with a hint of sarcasm, "Miss Su should know better than me. This is the end of the world; survival of the fittest. I hope Miss Su will seriously consider my proposal."

After a moment of contemplation, Su Ling smiled gracefully and said, "Thank you, Mr. Guan. I will consider it."

Just as she finished speaking, she noticed Sheng Hongye approaching, carrying Gu Kai Xuan.

The afternoon sun cast a long shadow, accentuating Sheng Hongye's impressive height even more.

Guan Shan turned his head briefly, then warned Su Ling with a glance, before heading over to meet Sheng Hongye.

With a respectful expression, Guan Shan asked, "Mr. Sheng, do you have any orders?"

Sheng Hongye glanced at Su Ling and calmly replied, "No, I'm taking Kai Xuan for a walk."

Guan Shan immediately expressed concern. "The ultraviolet rays are stronger than usual in the sunlight. Kai Xuan's skin is delicate; don't let him stay out for too long."

Sheng Hongye acknowledged with a sound and walked towards Su Ling.

At the corner, Guan Shan turned back, his eyes filled with intensified coldness.

On the other side of the hospital room, Li Xueying was glaring intensely at Su Ling.

That despicable woman!

One day, she would make Su Ling disappear from her sight.
