"Hoo, ho, ho!" Accompanied by Lu Yu's heavy breathing and footsteps, the already spacious living room seemed increasingly crowded.

Lu Yu kept carrying supplies from Xiao Ran's house to his own. His main goal was to provide some necessary supplies for survival, mainly food and supplemented by daily necessities.

Lu Yu had already discovered that Xiao Ran's family's food reserves were obviously not large. After searching, he only obtained two eggs, half a barrel of cooking oil and some few remaining condiments.

Just as Lu Yu closed the refrigerator door in disappointment and was about to empty out all the clothes in the closet, his eyes suddenly discovered that there were two huge cardboard boxes under Xiao Ran's sofa. He didn't know what was in them.

Driven by curiosity, Lu Yu found a pair of scissors and cut open the carton. After opening the carton, the scene in front of him made Lu Yu so shocked that he almost dropped his jaw.

What was inside the carton was none other than cans of well-preserved, unopened canned herrings!

In two large cardboard boxes, canned herrings were neatly stacked!

With excitement, Lu Yu clicked. There were 150 cans in one box, so the two boxes totaled 300 cans of canned herring.

Lu Yu didn't usually eat canned food. But he knew that canned food had a very long shelf life. During the war years, canned food was an extremely important strategic material.

"It's really good. This can is really good!"

Lu Yu was as excited as a child, dragging all two boxes of canned herrings to his home. He didn't even bother to rest, and rushed back to Xiao Ran's home to continue searching.

The sudden appearance of canned herrings reminded him that meat cannot be preserved for a long time, but canned meat can. He can collect canned foods with a long shelf life as capital for his future home.

When he thought of this, the haze that originally enveloped Lu Yu seemed to dissipate a lot. Under the secretion of dopamine, he even hummed a little tune.

"Good luck to you and wish you good luck..."

Afterwards, Lu Yu found ten Huazi, several bottles of foreign wine, etc. in Xiaoran's home.

Lu Yu himself didn't have the habit of smoking or drinking, but looking at these things that were expensive before the disaster, Lu Yu always felt that something was missing if he didn't take them away.

"Anyway, I won't be able to enjoy it anymore. These things may be useful for future survival, so collect them first." Lu Yu said to himself, like an old man convincing his ignorant self.

As for the cash in the drawer, Lu Yu has not touched a penny. He is a very magical person. He usually likes to take advantage of small things and has a bit of a philistine atmosphere, but if you really throw your wallet in front of him,

, he really wouldn’t pick it up and keep it as his own, and hand it over to the police uncle properly.

Taking a step back, in this current environment, who can guarantee that cash can have the purchasing power it had before the apocalypse? Maybe cash has become a pile of waste paper.

After collecting the food, Lu Yu began to move all the clothes out of the closet indiscriminately and piled them on his sofa. His idea was very simple. Clothes are, to put it bluntly, fabric. They can be woven into strips if they are torn into strips.

It can be said that the rope has many uses, so it is most appropriate to keep it all at home.

Of course, a large part of them are Xiaoran's clothes. Lu Yu's family does not have any clothes for the little girl to change, so it is obviously the most appropriate choice to let Xiaoran wear her own clothes.

In this way, Lu Yu ran back and forth again and again, and finally gathered all the materials he planned to transport to his home. Looking at the piles of items in the living room, Lu Yu couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment from the bottom of his heart.

"I can probably understand the feeling of hamsters collecting food. Collecting supplies is addictive."

Just as Lu Yu was looking at his trophies with pride on his face, Xiao Ran, who had been staying in the room reading a book, had silently come behind him. Originally indifferent, she suddenly caught a glimpse of her own clothes among the pile of clothes at the top of the sofa.

The clothes were mixed in, and he suddenly blushed with embarrassment. He also forgot that his feet were tied with ropes, and rushed towards the clothes anxiously.

The result of this action was that Xiao Ran fell hard to the ground, and her knees hit the marble floor of the living room hard.

There was a "boom" sound, and Lu Yu was startled. When he looked back, he found that Xiao Ran was kneeling on his knees, his beautiful heterochromatic eyes were filled with tears due to pain, and he looked very pitiful.

"Uh, what's wrong with you..." Lu Yu was confused for a moment.

"I, I'm fine! Please untie me quickly, I want to put my clothes away." Xiao Ran blushed and turned her face to one side, as if she didn't want Lu Yu to see her crying.

"Oh, okay, okay." Lu Yu seemed to understand something. He stepped forward and untied the rope around Xiao Ran's ankle on the second floor. He did not stop Xiao Ran from messing up the clothes on the sofa, but just watched from the spot.

Xiaoran put away his clothes one by one.

"Hey, you are still a child, so you are shy." Lu Yu joked.

Xiao Ran finally calmed down when Lu Yu said this, and her face, which had returned to whiteness, suddenly turned red, like a ripe tomato.

The little girl ignored Lu Yu's words as if she was angry, returned to the study with her clothes, and closed the door heavily.

"I seem to have made someone angry again..." Lu Yu scratched his head in embarrassment. It's not a good thing that he has no empathy. He can't understand other people's emotions. Often the other person is already angry, but he still behaves as if nothing has happened.

As a joke, after comparing his feelings with others, Lu Yu really felt that it was not unfair at all that he could not find a friend.

The sound of the elevator arriving came from the corridor.

Lu Yu's originally relaxed mood suddenly became tense. Almost as soon as the sound rang out, he rushed to the front door of his house and quickly closed the door and locked it.

"Hey, why is there such a big sofa across the door? Is anyone there?" A slightly obscene voice came from the elevator entrance. Lu Yu did not respond, but quietly lurked behind the door, like a cheetah waiting for an opportunity.

.

The bald man waited in the elevator for a while. When no one answered, he started to move the sofa at the entrance of the elevator.

The sofa was not heavy to begin with, because Lu Yu originally only wanted to prevent zombies from coming up from the elevator. For people with the ability to think, the sofa would only delay them for a few seconds at most.

The bald man quickly moved away from the sofa and came within Lu Yu's sight.

Through the peephole, the bald man noticed at first sight a large amount of dried blood and black mucus at the entrance of Lu Yu's house and Xiao Ran's house. For a normal person, seeing such a strange scene would definitely be scary.

He left. But the bald man just froze on the spot for a few seconds, and then began to walk toward Xiao Ran's house with the door wide open.

"Fortunately, I acted quickly and collected the supplies first." Lu Yu muttered in his heart. He naturally thought that the bald man had the same idea as him and entered Xiao Ran's house to collect supplies.

I saw a bald man shouting "Is there anyone there?" at the door of Xiao Ran's house. After seeing no one in the house, he tiptoed into Xiao Ran's home.

Lu Yu was still lying quietly on the door, observing everything through the peephole. He didn't realize that Xiao Ran had walked out of the study room and was curiously looking at this person who was leaning on the door and peeping out with his beautiful heterochromatic pupils.

The weird uncle.

Although curious, Xiao Ran did not make a sound, but slipped behind Lu Yu as quietly as a kitten and turned on the electronic camera next to Lu Yu's house.

Yes, there is an electronic camera at the door of Lu Yu's house. In other words, there is an electronic camera at the door of every household in this building. After all, it is a high-end community. In order to flaunt its service capabilities, the property management company will add some unique features to the residents of the community.

Practical but extremely gorgeous equipment to increase the quality of the community. The camera at the door is one such flashy product.

Lu Yu usually didn't use the camera at the door. In the past few emergencies, he had forgotten that he still had a camera as a surveillance tool. Instead, like an idiot, he just leaned on the peephole and peeked out.

Seeing that Xiao Ran had turned on the display screen, Lu Yu felt his face turn red, and secretly cursed himself as a stupid pig for forgetting that there was a camera to watch. He was too embarrassed to say anything else, so he moved a chair and sat in front of the screen to watch.

Got up.

The camera is installed directly above the gate of Lu Yu's house. Because it is a wide-angle lens, it can clearly see the situation in front of Xiao Ran's house.

Xiao Ran looked at the empty scene with a puzzled look, and gave Lu Yu a questioning look.

"Well, the bald man we had downstairs just now came upstairs and even entered your house." Lu Yu didn't mean to hide it, and quietly stated the situation to Xiao Ran.

After hearing this, Xiao Ran frowned slightly and did not respond to Lu Yu. Instead, she naturally sat on Lu Yu's lap, her eyes still fixed on the screen in front of her.

Lu Yu couldn't help but feel heartbroken when he saw Xiao Ran sitting on his lap so naturally.

"I didn't bring you a chair, so you just sat on my lap!"

"I'm the weird uncle next door, why don't you sit on it like this naturally?"

"Ah, I really want you to go down there, but saying it like this makes me look weak!"

"My little kid is so heavy, it feels like my thighs are going to break!"

After a roar in his heart, the feeling of heartache seemed to be relieved a little. With a slight sigh, Lu Yu forced his attention away from his sore and numb thighs and focused on the screen again.

Time passed, and an hour later, just when Lu Yu felt that his patience was about to run out, the picture on the screen changed.

I saw a bald man sneaking out of Xiao Ran's house. His two trouser pockets were full, and he was holding a wad of banknotes in his hand. It seemed that he couldn't hold it anymore, so he had to hold it in his hand.

"Uh..." Lu Yu felt speechless for a while. It turned out that the bald man was not searching for supplies, but just wanted to get money.

"Is he a thief?" Xiao Ran was a little surprised when he saw the scene on the screen, and asked Lu Yu in a low voice.

"Probably..." The corner of Lu Yu's mouth twitched. The behavior of the bald man in front of him was obviously to take advantage of the disaster. He took advantage of the disaster and plundered all the valuable things in other people's homes?

"But, in this environment, money may not necessarily work." Xiao Ran glanced at the TV in the living room, which was still playing emergency evacuation news, and said lightly.

"Yes, banknotes will most likely turn into waste paper." Recalling the scene where he came into contact with Zhang Heng, Lu Yu felt mixed emotions for a moment. If everything goes as Zhang Heng described, with order collapsing and the end of the world coming, then

The only one you can rely on is yourself.

"No matter what, as long as he doesn't provoke us, we don't need to worry about him." Lu Yu seemed to be explaining to Xiao Ran, and seemed to be warning himself as he murmured this sentence.

"No!" Unexpectedly, Xiao Ran objected to Lu Yu's proposal with a firm attitude. His bright eyes showed an indifference that would keep strangers away from him.
