Immortal in The Apocalypse

In the blink of an eye, ten days passed. While the children were eating under Tu Tu’s watchful eye, there was a knock on the door.

Knock, knock, knock.

Zhu Lin put the things back into the Qiankun bag and went to open the door. As soon as the door opened, someone hugged her. Before she could react, she smelled the familiar fragrance and felt the familiar warmth.

Zhu Lin smiled slightly and said, "Welcome back."

Xiu Wu took a breath of the fresh bamboo fragrance exuding from her body, sighed contentedly and said, "I’m back."

Ji Yang, who stood behind them, rolled his eyes at them and said, "Lao Xiu, can you two find a room? Don’t stand there blocking the way."

Hearing Ji Yang’s words, Zhu Lin blushed and pushed Xiu Wu away. She stepped aside and said, "Come in."

As soon as Ji Yang took off his shoes, he walked to the bathroom and quickly took a shower. Looking at the closed bathroom door, Tan Wei looked at Zhu Lin and asked, "Xiao Lin, can I use the bathroom in your bedroom? I really need to take a shower now."

Zhu Lin nodded and said, "Mhm. I just filled up the water in the bathroom. You can take a shower at ease."

"Thank you, Xiao Lin." Tan Wei smiled gratefully at her, and walked quickly towards her bedroom.

Xiu Wu looked at her and said in an aggrieved voice: "Xiao Lin, I have never entered your bedroom."

Hearing what he said, Zhu Lin tilted her head slightly and said, "If you also want to take a shower, you can just go take a bath after Tan Wei comes out."

Listening to her words, Xiu Wu was speechless. "....." That was not what I meant. Did she really not understand, or was she pretending not to understand?

Seeing his speechless expression, Zhu Lin raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Xiu Wu sighed helplessly, shook his head and said, "Nothing."

After saying that, he walked to the old sofa and sat there with his eyes closed. In the past ten days, he had almost no time to rest or sleep. As soon as he closed his eyes, he fell asleep immediately.

Seeing that he had fallen asleep on the old sofa, Zhu Lin went to the kitchen to make a pot of spiritual tea. When she walked out of the kitchen with a tray, Ji Yang and Tan Wei were already sitting on the soft carpet, while Xiu Wu had just gone to take a shower.

She poured three cups of tea and asked, "Have you guys collected enough supplies?"

Ji Yang picked up a cup, took a sip of spiritual tea, felt refreshed, and said with a smile: "Yes. We also went to collect new ore to build the wall. I heard that the military base also purchased a lot of new ore from the commoner and supernatural beings to rebuild the outer wall of the base. Since the new ore could nullify abilities and is nearly as strong as tungsten, I predict that the value and demand for the new ore will grow exponentially in the near future."

Hearing what he said, Zhu Lin raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "How much does the base pay to buy ore from them?"

Ji Yang thought for a while and said, "The last time I went to inquire about the price, one kilogram of new ore can be exchanged for two contribution points or one hundred grams of food. If it is exchanged for water, the conversion rate is one kilogram of new ore can be exchanged for one hundred milliliters of water."

After listening to Ji Yang’s answer, Zhu Lin asked again: "Is the ore difficult to mine?"

Ji Yang shook his head and said, "For supernatural beings, mining the ore is a normal workload, because we have stronger physical strength. Moreover, the supernatural beings can also use their abilities to mine ores."

"What about ordinary people without abilities?" Zhu Lin asked curiously.

Ji Yang shook his head and said, "For ordinary people, mining ore is very difficult because of the strength required to break the ore. If supernatural beings can mine ten to twenty kilograms of ore every day, then ordinary people can only mine half a kilogram to one kilogram a day at most."

After listening to Ji Yang’s answer, Zhu Lin fell into deep thought. When Xiu Wu walked out of the bedroom with wet hair and the smell of soap, he saw Ji Yang and Tan Wei playing with the children, while Zhu Lin was lost in thought.

He sat next to her and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Smelling the smell of soap from her side and feeling the old sofa sink next to her, Zhu Lin looked up and found Xiu Wu was staring at her. Seeing that his hair was still wet, she took out a cotton towel from the Qiankun bag and said, "You should dry your hair properly. What should you do if you catch a cold?"

After saying that, she handed him the cotton towel. Xiu Wu did not take the cotton towel in her hand, but lowered his head and said softly: "You help me dry my hair."

Zhu Lin thought that he was like those children, so she helped him dry his hair without saying a word. Ji Yang and Tan Wei looked at them in surprise when they saw her drying Xiu Wu’s hair carefully. Her eyes were very gentle, and there was even a hint of a smile on her lips.

It is nothing new for Xiu Wu to be shameless, but Zhu Lin actually agreed to help him, which is really shocking. Even very close friends don’t dry each other’s hair. Only couples or families would do this intimate gesture to each other.

Ji Yang and Tan Wei looked at each other and thought: ’Could it be that they have officially become a couple?’
