When Xu Zhe opened his eyes again, his pupils had turned from a vampire's red to a normal person's black.
Obviously, while the Body Tempering Technique was tempering Xu Zhe's body, it also helped Xu Zhe expel the zombie virus from his body.
Looking at Xu Zhe's black eyes, Jiujiu couldn't help but feel happy for Xu Zhe.
The two of them went outside and whispered to each other for a while, then closed their eyes and fell asleep.
While Jiujiu and Xu Zhe were sleeping soundly, Cao Xue was in a panic.
When she woke up, the jade pendant was gone, which meant that all the supplies she had stored were gone.
Without supplies, it meant that she had lost the capital to survive the apocalypse. How could Cao Xue not panic?
Not to mention the supplies that Director Wang had asked for today, she had stored all the supplies in her own space in order to strengthen her position and prevent her subordinates from having any evil thoughts.
Now, the jade pendant was gone, and so were the supplies she had stored.
Without supplies, what could she use to win people's hearts? What could she use to suppress her subordinates? Moreover, thinking of the way Director Wang had looked at her yesterday, Cao Xue's body couldn't help but tremble as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
While Cao Xue was trembling, Director Wang came to visit Cao Xue in person.
Director Wang, who had been smart for a long time, naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to tell others that she wanted supplies. When others asked, she just smiled and said that she had come on behalf of the Safety Zone to thank Cao Xue for her contributions to the Safety Zone during this period. She had specially come to invite Cao Xue for breakfast.
Of course, after breakfast, it was time to work. When it was time to work, she would naturally start to ask for supplies.
Both Director Wang and Cao Xue were well aware of this process.
If it were before, Cao Xue would definitely go to have breakfast with Director Wang with a smile. After breakfast, she would play Tai Chi for a while. When it was about time, she would put the supplies in the storage room and ask for some benefits from Director Wang.
But now, her jade pendant was gone. She had nothing. Not to mention eating with Director Wang, she didn't even have the courage to look at her in the eyes.
Cao Xue wanted to refuse, but she had already said that yesterday. Now, she could only follow behind Director Wang with an ugly face and accompany her to eat.
The two of them had their meal in a cafeteria that was specially opened by the Safety Sector for Superhumans.
Unlike the ordinary cafeteria, the food here was carefully cooked by people. As Jiujiu grew more and more vegetables, the food in the cafeteria became more and more sumptuous. Not only did the superhumans come to eat here, there were also some ordinary people who came to eat.
Because he wanted Cao Xue to take out the supplies later, Director Wang specially spent a lot of money to order the more luxurious tofu pudding, youtiao, and a tea egg.
Director Wang carried the food and brought Cao Xue to a relatively remote corner. After asking Cao Xue to sit down, she said to Cao Xue with a concerned expression while eating, "Cao Xue, it's been hard on you recently."
Cao Xue, who had lost the jade pendant and had no space, heard Director Wang's words. Her face instantly turned pale, and a layer of dense cold sweat appeared on her forehead.
Director Wang didn't wait for Cao Xue's response after saying this, but he didn't feel embarrassed. He paused for a moment before continuing, "The supplies we collected this time are enough for us to use until tomorrow spring. During this time, you and Xu Zhe should stay in the Safety Sector and cultivate well to improve your superpower level. When tomorrow spring is warm, we will go to remote places to collect supplies. What do you think?"
Cao Xue still didn't dare to answer.
Director Wang said two sentences in a row, but Cao Xue still didn't understand. Even the eloquent Director Wang was a little embarrassed.
Director Wang finished the breakfast in front of him in two or three mouthfuls. Looking at the untouched breakfast in front of Cao Xue, he pretended to be considerate and asked, "Do you not like to eat? Do you want me to order something else? "
If it was before the apocalypse, Cao Xue wouldn't care about tofu pudding and youtiao. However, in this apocalypse where even instant noodles were delicious, tofu pudding and youtiao were delicacies.
However, no matter how delicious the tofu pudding and youtiao were, it couldn't compare to the panic Cao Xue felt when she lost the jade pendant. When she thought of Director Wang asking her to take out the supplies she collected yesterday, Cao Xue's face turned even uglier.
Now, Cao Xue's face was no longer pale, it was simply green.
Director Wang didn't get an answer from Cao Xue when he asked. When he saw Cao Xue's green face and cold sweat dripping from her forehead, he instantly became more concerned. "Cao Xue, are you okay?"
Cao Xue nodded and looked at Director Wang. "It's just that I'm not feeling well today. I'm afraid there's no way …"
Before Cao Xue could finish her sentence, she heard Director Wang say, "I'll get someone to call Doctor Li over to take a look at you. In this day and age, you can't get sick no matter what. Don't worry, Doctor Li's medical skills are good. He will definitely be able to take care of you."
Director Wang looked at Cao Xue lovingly. "Since you still have to go to the warehouse to put the supplies in a while, let's go to my place first and wait for Doctor Li. After Doctor Li takes a look at you, we'll go to the warehouse. What do you think?"
Director Wang blocked all the roads, and Cao Xue was brought to the office by Director Wang like a duck on a perch.
Not long after Cao Xue arrived at the office, Doctor Li walked in with a medical kit.
Doctor Li did a check-up on Cao Xue like last time. After coming to a conclusion that there was no problem, he left with the medical kit without even prescribing medicine.
When he left, Doctor Li did not forget to glare at Cao Xue.
In this period of serious shortage of doctors, Cao Xue's behavior of calling for a doctor when she was not sick was a serious waste of medical resources.
Cao Xue, who originally wanted to avoid taking out the supplies by relying on her physical discomfort, could no longer avoid it. She could only tell the truth in a low voice.
After hearing Cao Xue's words, Director Wang's acting skills instantly widened. He picked his ears in disbelief and looked at Cao Xue and repeated Cao Xue's words. "You said that your space was taken away by someone?"
Being looked at with suspicion by Director Wan, Cao Xue felt embarrassed in her heart. However, in order to wash away his suspicion, Cao Xue could only nod and admit it.
However, even if Cao Xue nodded again, Director Wang did not believe her very much.
Firstly, from the beginning of the doomsday until now, he had never heard of a special ability being taken away. Secondly, Cao Xue had a criminal record of embezzling resources before, and this time, the supplies were much more than before. Moreover, there were extremely important medicines in it. Therefore, Director Wang had enough reason to suspect that Cao Xue said such a thing to embezzle the supplies.
Although he was suspicious in his heart, Director Wang just looked at Cao Xue and asked, "You said that your special ability was taken away by someone. Do you know who took it away?"
Cao Xue said without thinking, "It was Xu Zhe."
