Although the men had experienced the intense and exciting fire in the morning, they still did not get any rest in the afternoon.
After a sumptuous lunch, they started to move again.
In the post-apocalyptic world, no one would have too many resources. Even if it was a broken chair, it would still be useful. At the very least, it could be used as firewood. That was why they realized that there were too many things when they moved.
Beds, blankets, furniture, food, clothes, gasoline, generators, spices, pots and bowls, and all kinds of miscellaneous resources. There were so many of them that it was time-consuming and exhausting.
By the time everything was moved to the new villa, it was already close to evening.
Everyone's face was filled with a trace of joy, especially those who had just arrived. This meant that they would no longer have to squeeze together with others in the future. The men were slightly better off, but the women had all kinds of inconveniences and awkwardness. They even had to carefully avoid others when going to the toilet.
The new villa was much bigger than the original one. There were enough spare rooms for at least two people to share a bedroom. If they were lucky, they could even have a bedroom each.
Luo Yuan occupied the master bedroom. The wedding photo of the previous owner of the villa was lying quietly in the trash can. The bedroom was clean and tidy. The original quilt on the bed was also stuffed into the wardrobe and replaced with the one from the original villa.
It was not because they had used it on a dead person, but because it was a taboo. Dead people were a common thing now. In fact, if there was a taboo, they would not even be allowed to eat mutated beast meat. All the mutated beasts that wandered in the city had eaten humans before. Even indirect cannibalism was acceptable, let alone taboo.
The reason why they changed the quilt was because they had not used it for many days. It gave off a moldy smell.
After the relocation, it did not mean that they were done. Although the whole villa had survived the beast attack, all the glass had been shattered. None of the windows were intact. The whole place was defenseless. He did not expect to be able to defend against large mutated beasts, but at least they could stop dangerous mutated mosquitoes from entering the villa.
He searched the entire neighborhood and was lucky enough to find a few bags of cement in a small warehouse in the underground parking lot. Then, he and Huo Dong moved some bricks from the rubble and mixed them with water. They covered all the windows with cement, and even the pipes of the air conditioner and range hood were not spared.
When the last window was built, the whole villa suddenly looked like a gloomy castle. Once the door was closed, it would be completely dark.
Although the room was dark, there was a strong sense of security.
Finally, Luo Yuan moved the generator to the basement and restarted it. The generator made a loud noise for the first time, and the whole villa was suddenly brightly lit.
Perhaps it was because of the villa's original owner's special hobby that this basement was specially designed for soundproofing. That was why he boldly turned on the generator. As expected, when he closed the door, most of the sounds inside were blocked. The few sounds that leaked out only traveled a dozen meters before completely dissipating into the air.
In the living room of the villa, everyone was excited. Many of them were crying tears of joy. Looking at the white and dazzling light, it felt like it was yesterday.
Luo Yuan smiled as he looked at everyone jumping up and down. Even the most reserved people could not control their emotions. Perhaps they had never thought that they would see light again. They had never thought that the light, which they had been so used to, could move them so much.
"Ah, I need to charge my phone." Ning Xiaoran wiped her tears and seemed to think of something. She hurriedly rummaged through her pockets, but she couldn't find her old mobile phone. Perhaps she had lost it a long time ago. She was so anxious that she almost cried.
"Use mine!" Cao Ling said. She took out her phone from her pocket, found a socket to charge it, and pressed the power button.
"Yes … Yes!" Ning Xiaoran's hands were twisting the corner of her shirt, and she nodded gratefully. Her eyes were fixed on the phone, and she looked like she had lost her soul.
Soon, someone else found their phone and started charging it.
Everyone quietened down, and the excitement on their faces was replaced by suppressed worry.
"Aren't you going to charge it?" Luo Yuan asked Huang Jiahui.
"It's okay." Huang Jiahui forced a smile and said, "Actually, I haven't been able to get through to anyone since I turned off my phone."
"Brother Luo, can you lend me your phone for a while? I want to call my parents. Maybe I can find them." Maybe I can still find them, "Wang Shishi suddenly said. Her face was tense, but she was pretending to be calm.
Looking at the little girl who was not even 14 years old, Luo Yuan was touched and said, "Wait, I'll take my phone down now."
Luo Yuan ran up to the master bedroom on the second floor and searched everywhere. Finally, he found his phone and charger in a document bag. He went downstairs to charge his phone and turned it on. He comforted Wang Shishi, "Don't worry, it'll be ready soon."
"Brother Luo, you don't have to comfort me. Actually, I've already given up hope. Otherwise, they wouldn't have taken so long to find me …" Wang Shishi couldn't hold back her emotions before she finished her sentence. Her tears started to fall, and she was sobbing uncontrollably towards the end.
"There's no signal," Cao Ling said solemnly as she stared at the phone.
Ning Xiaoran's face turned pale and she sat down on the sofa.
Huo Dong put his phone down and sighed. The atmosphere was depressing.
Luo Yuan looked at the picture on the phone and saw that there was no signal. However, there was an unread text message in the phone. Since there was no signal, the phone would not be able to receive text messages. Obviously, the message had been there when the phone was still charged. Perhaps the phone had run out of battery before it could be read.
The text message was from Huang Xiaguang. Luo Yuan took a deep breath and read it word by word. It was only a few dozen words, but it took him a few minutes to read them.
"Luo Yuan, if you're still in Hedong City, come to our place. My dad and a few friends built a small underground base. I know you don't like to live under other people's roof, but safety is more important than pride. If you can't find a good place, come to our place.
Dongguang District, Anxie Gaoshang District, No.18. "
Ever since their last meeting at Donghu Park, Luo Yuan and Huang Xiaguang had not seen each other again. Luo Yuan had repeatedly rejected her feelings, which had hurt her deeply. Their relationship had gradually cooled down and they had even stopped contacting each other. Luo Yuan had already forgotten about her, but he did not expect her to still be so concerned about his safety.
Speaking of which, Luo Yuan had been the first to leave Donghu City and that hellish place because of Huang Xiaguang's initiative. Even though Luo Yuan could be ruthless to his enemies, he could not help but feel touched.
"No.18 Anxie Gaoshang District. It's not far from here," Luo Yuan thought to himself.
Dinner was a little quiet. Everyone was thinking about their own things, but they did not eat much rice.
To save fuel, Luo Yuan had turned off the generator before going to bed.
Luo Yuan turned on the flashlight app on his phone. As soon as he entered the bedroom, Huang Jiahui closed the door like a thief. When she turned around, her face was flushed, and her breathing was slightly rapid. Her eyes were moist as if they were filled with spring water.
Such an obvious signal made Luo Yuan's body start to heat up. He had not touched a woman for a long time, and he was a little tempted. Besides, ever since he had added a point to his Physique attribute, his body's various attributes had basically reached a balance. He could not wait to test it out and regain his masculinity.
If Wang Shishi had not been staying with them for the past few days, he would have already lost control.
The two of them did not speak, but hugged each other and kissed passionately. After about 10 minutes, the storm stopped. Luo Yuan hugged Huang Jiahui's body and could not help but feel relieved. Although it had been a lot shorter than before, at least it was not as intense as before.
Suddenly, Luo Yuan heard Wang Shishi's footsteps.
"Brother Luo, Sister Huang, I can't sleep. I want to sleep with you."
She had a headache. She had not paid much attention to sleeping with them before, but now that she thought about it, she felt that it was inappropriate.
He had seen Wang Shishi when she was still a child, so he had always treated her like one. However, what had happened two nights ago had made him realize that Wang Shishi was no longer a child. At least, she was physically mature. It was not appropriate for them to sleep together now.
The most important thing was what Huang Jiahui thought. He tried to persuade her, "Didn't you sleep alone before? You'll get used to it after a few days."
"But I'll have nightmares if I don't hug you to sleep!" Wang Shishi pouted and said softly. Her voice was low and she looked like she had been wronged.
Luo Yuan's heart almost softened, but he still hardened his heart and said, "Don't find excuses. Be a good girl and go back to sleep."
"I miss my parents today." Wang Shishi finally used her trump card.
Luo Yuan and Huang Jiahui looked at each other. Suddenly, Huang Jiahui sighed and said with a complicated expression, "Sigh, let her in."
Huang Jiahui took a napkin and wiped her lower body. Then, she walked over to open the door.
