Traveling through a book to save the heroine in the apocalypse? Are you crazy?
Chapter 17 Reasons for the Situation
The corridor, which was not wide to begin with, was filled with tables, and the small tables were filled with various stoves, cookers, pots, pans, etc.
There were aunties, girls, old men and grandmothers in the corridor. Some were picking vegetables, some were cutting vegetables, some were cooking, and some were washing vegetables. Everyone had a smile on their face, and there was no sense that the end of the world had come at all.
It seems like the lively and intimate courtyard houses of the 1970s and 1980s.
When they saw Li Shu coming up, they greeted him with a smile. When they saw Ye Yiyi behind Li Shu, they were stunned for a moment, then quickly greeted him with a smile as well.
Seeing this situation, Li Shu turned around and explained.
"Everyone in the building knows you. They have never seen you before, so they didn't react for a while. Please don't be surprised."
Ye Yiyi naturally wouldn't, as she had never felt such pure and kind interactions before.
At this moment, A Yu came out with a plate. When he saw Ye Yiyi coming in, he was stunned for a moment.
Then he reacted and took the plate.
"Sister Yiyi, why are you here? I was just about to send you down."
Ye Yiyi came up to get her meal, and when she heard A Yu say that, she took the plate.
"From now on, you don't need Ayu to send me home. I can come up and eat by myself."
Hearing this, A Yu widened his eyes and was about to refuse when he saw the look from Li Shu behind him.
A Yu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and handed the plate in his hand to Ye Yiyi.
"Then I'll have to trouble Sister Yiyi to come up and get it later. I just happen to be busy with a lot of things."
Maybe A Yu was really busy. After giving the tray to Ye Yiyi, he pulled Li Shu into the room.
But after a while, Ayu came out of the kitchen with six or seven thermos boxes, and her two little hands could hardly hold them all.
Seeing this, Ye Yiyi quickly put down the plate in her hand and reached out to take it.
Just kidding, I have been like a parasite in the past two days. I have not done any work and just ate and slept. Not to mention other things, just in this apocalyptic environment, I will definitely make them dislike me for being like this.
But Ye Yiyi was obviously wrong. Not only would they not despise her, they would even worship her.
Because Yang Luoliu would bring food to Li Wanwan every day, and the amount he brought was enough for Ye Yiyi to eat for a week. However, Yang Luoliu did not have many special requirements. Just one thing was to take good care of Ye Yiyi. As long as Ye Yiyi was full, Li Wanwan could do whatever she wanted with the other food.
God knows Li Wanwan almost knelt down to Yang Luoliu. The food was almost gone, and with the heavy rain, they had to be on guard against any attack from the building opposite, so they didn't dare to go out to find food.
The food that Yang Luoliu brings out every day is simply the life-saving straw for Li Wanwan's camp. It is so easy to be nice to Ye Yiyi.
Delivering meals every day is a piece of cake. As long as Ye Yiyi wants, Li Wanwan would like to feed her personally.
But everyone in the building knew what Yang Luoliu had done, except Ye Yiyi.
A Yu subconsciously wanted to move away, but Ye Yiyi was too quick and took away the three thermal boxes in A Yu's hand.
A Yu turned around and looked at Li Shu behind him. Li Shu smiled when he saw this scene.
"Then I'll trouble you, Yiyi."
Only then did Ye Yiyi notice that Li Shu had more thermos bottles in his hands. It might be because his supernatural powers enhanced his body. He simply strung them together with a rope and held them in his hands. At a glance, there were more than twenty thermoses in one hand.
Ye Yiyi widened her eyes.
"Brother Lee, do you want help?"
Li Shu found it a little funny to see Ye Yiyi like this.
"No, I'm used to it."
Ah Yu also laughed when he saw this. "Sister Yiyi, Brother Li is like this every day. Come on, sister, I'll take you upstairs."
Seeing this, Ye Yiyi raised her eyebrows and said, "Go up? Isn't the superpower downstairs?"
However, Ye Yiyi did not ask but followed the two of them upstairs.
When she reached the ninth floor, she heard a slight sound from above. It was not until she reached the tenth floor and saw the whole scene that Ye Yiyi was stunned.
It was a rare sunny day in winter and the corridor was filled with white-haired old people sitting in groups of three or four, chatting and laughing together.
Because he was worried about something, he kept his voice very low and didn't dare to laugh out loud.
The scene upstairs is a very warm and relaxing one, but downstairs there are hordes of zombies, and everywhere you look there are body parts and blood.
This very different scene made Ye Yiyi stunned.
But what really stunned Ye Yiyi was not this scene, but she suddenly remembered that when Yang Luoliu came to rescue Zhao Yue and Gu Ze after restarting, he came to beat them.
The originally blurry words gradually appeared in front of Ye Yiyi.
She killed the last person and went up to the tenth floor resolutely, thinking that the person waiting there would be an unforgivable and powerful person.
But when they broke the door open violently, what they saw was a group of elderly, weak, women and children in tears.
Before he could figure out the situation, his comrade-in-arms, who had fought with him before, came forward with a grim smile. That expression was all too familiar to him.
The weakest group of old people, women and children in the last days unexpectedly fought back when the strong ones caught them, and they attacked together and killed one or two psychics.
But as more people with special abilities joined in, the situation became one-sided.
The scene at the scene slowly enlarged in his eyes, and the old man's heart-wrenching screams and the woman's humiliating shouts came into his ears.
I could also hear the disgusting smiles of those so-called comrades-in-arms. Their faces seemed quite kind a moment ago, but now they all looked hideous.
Everyone's movements slowed down in his eyes.
Recalling this, Ye Yiyi's heart suddenly ached. She looked at the faces of the elderly, women and children in front of her who were smiling when they saw A Yu and Li Shuli.
The winter sun was shining brightly, and everyone sitting in the sun to keep warm was covered with a faint golden glow.
The old people were in high spirits, and the young and beautiful women and girls worked together to help distribute food.
The cute and soft children stayed obediently beside the elderly and waited for the aunts and sisters to distribute food.
Ye Yiyi found it hard to imagine that the scene Yang Luoliu had seen must have been extremely bloody.
The clips I have seen did not describe Yang Luoliu's inner thoughts, but after reading them carefully, I was filled with regret between the lines.
Is it because she felt tormented when she thought about it later that she was so saintly in saving people?
Maybe her purpose was not revenge at all, but to come back and correct her mistakes.
But how can there be absolute right and wrong in the end times? Didn't she come back for revenge?
Just when Ye Yiyi was stunned, A Yu had already stepped forward and took away the thermal box from Ye Yiyi's hand.
Ye Yiyi came back to her senses then. Looking at A Yu who was speaking with a smile, Ye Yiyi took the remaining thermal box in her hand in a daze.
Li Shu saw Ye Yiyi's daze and thought she was shocked and uncomfortable. He then lowered his head and said something to A Yu beside him, then walked to Ye Yiyi with the remaining thermal insulation box.
"There are still some people upstairs. Yiyi, do you want to go up with me?"
Ye Yiyi nodded, feeling a little relieved by Li Shu's words.
Just as they reached the stairs, Li Shu's faint voice came.
“Is it incredible that there are so many elderly people in our building?”
"Ok?"
Ye Yiyi didn't react for a moment, then she spoke with a smile.
"really."
Meeting Li Shu's gaze, Ye Yiyi looked back calmly.
"After all, in this world, the elderly and children are the biggest burden."
Even if Ye Yiyi has never lived in this world, but considering the actual situation, the elderly and children are indeed burdens. They can't run fast, can't do anything, and they consume manpower and material resources.
Ye Yiyi wanted to know why there were so many old people and children here, so she brought up another topic.
"Can I know the reason? It's because there are so many elderly people and children here. If it's inconvenient, then just pretend I didn't ask."
Li Shu paused for a moment, then raised the things in his hand and looked at Ye Yiyi with a smile.
"Would you be interested in going up to the rooftop with me after we deliver the meal?"
What Li Shu said should be a very long topic. Ye Yiyi smiled and nodded. While they were talking, they walked upstairs.
Li Shu went in to deliver the meal, but Ye Yiyi did not go in. Instead, she stood in the fire escape and looked at the system floating in front of her.
"Do you think she came back for revenge at all?"
The system didn’t know why Ye Yiyi said that but didn’t refute it. Instead, it gave an uncertain answer.
"Although I don't know why you said that, host, but human thoughts are complicated, and I can't deduce what she is thinking, so I'm sorry, host, I can't give you a definite answer."
Ye Yiyi did not respond to the system's words because Li Shu came out from behind the door.
Looking at Ye Yiyi standing in the dark, Li Shu stretched out his hand to signal her to go first.
Ye Yiyi did the same, and then the two of them walked side by side in the fire escape corridor.
"I don't know how to start this with Yiyi."
Li Shu sighed, then smiled and looked ahead while Ye Yiyi looked at him in confusion.
"In fact, these elderly people were not just in this building at the beginning. They were survivors from all the buildings in the community."
After hearing what he said, Ye Yiyi did not interrupt him and just listened carefully.
"In fact, it wasn't like this half a month ago."
It seemed as if his thoughts were pulled far away, and Li Shu's voice sounded a little light.
"We were lucky at that time. When the apocalypse just started, our whole family was at home, including my parents, sister and brother."
"Everyone had hope at the beginning. Although the survivors in the building could not get out, they encouraged each other in the group."
"After a week, some people gradually developed superpowers, but at that time we just used them in our daily lives."
"Until one morning, someone in the group posted a very blurry video in which a person used lightning powers to kill a group of zombies. At that moment, we realized that we could actually use our own powers to save ourselves."
"Finally, all the people with superpowers discussed in the group that the outside world might not be safer than the community, so they simply cleared out the zombies in the community and kept the community as a base."
"The community was really united at that time. Although some people sacrificed their lives, the division of labor was clear and everyone saw hope in life."
"Even if the government doesn't intervene, we can be self-sufficient."
"But not long after we cleared the community, four people said they wanted to join our community. At the time, we thought that if we wanted to build the community into a base, we would really need manpower, so we let them in."
"We were so stupid back then that we had no defense against outsiders. After they figured out how many people we had, they brought the people behind them."
"That's when we realized they were a gang. Can you imagine a group of more than 30 people with special abilities? They wanted to annex us and make this community their base."
"We only have 20 psychics. We didn't want to fight them head-on. Plus, they acted too well at first, so we let them in."
When he said this, Li Shu choked up.
"At that time, it was passed unanimously by the twenty of us, and the three of us siblings had the highest votes. However, within three or four days, the group showed their true colors, and we completely fell out with each other."
"We thought we were pretty good after killing a few zombies, but when we faced them, we realized the gap. In the end, we even had to send in people without superpowers to achieve this situation."
"Originally there were more than a hundred survivors, but now there are less than forty left. Of the more than twenty psychics, there are only seven or eight of us left."
Li Shu's voice in the darkness trembled slightly.
"I often wonder, why us? Obviously, we all feel that life is almost hopeful, why don't they kill zombies, but instead attack their own kind."
Seeing this, Ye Yiyi opened her mouth but in the end didn't say anything because there was no way to answer this question.
Fortunately, Li Shu did not ask Ye Yiyi to comfort him and continued, "I'm sorry for complaining to you."
Ye Yiyi couldn't laugh for a moment after hearing those heavy words. She just curled the corners of her mouth slightly and shook her head.
The two of them walked up fifteen or sixteen flights of stairs in silence, and finally Li Shu spoke.
Perhaps because his mood had calmed down a lot, Li Shu's voice also became much calmer when he spoke.
"Actually, we have to thank Miss Yang. If she hadn't appeared, we would all be corpses now."
When Ye Yiyi looked at him in confusion, Li Shu suddenly changed the subject.
"Yiyi, what is your relationship with Miss Yang?"
Ye Yiyi stopped and looked at Li Shu. When Li Shu saw Ye Yiyi stop, he also stopped.
"What's wrong Yiyi?"
Ye Yiyi just smiled and shook her head.
"Why do you ask that, Brother Li?"
"Oh, I just felt that when Miss Yang saved you, she actually used up a lot of her superpowers fighting, and then she had to use up a lot of superpowers to save you. I'm a little curious why Miss Yang values you so much."
Hearing this, Ye Yiyi's eyelashes trembled. Seeing this, Li Shu repeated what Yang Luoliu had done.
Ye Yiyi looked up at Li Shu, and after confirming that he was not lying, she felt indescribable.
No wonder no one complained when I stayed in my room doing nothing. Ayu came to my room every day to help me diligently. She would be disappointed if I didn't let her down.
Ye Yiyi stopped again, not because she wanted to say anything, but because her physical strength had reached its limit.
Although Ye Yiyi didn't say anything, her breathing was heavier than at the beginning.
Li Shu spoke up. "The view from the 28th floor is also nice. There's no need to go to the 30th floor. What do you think?"
After hearing this, Ye Yiyi didn't insist on going to the 30th floor. After all, she wasn't really going there to see the scenery. Seeing that Li Shu gave her a way out, she readily agreed.
After pushing open the fire door, the two of them walked one after the other to the corridor on the 28th floor.
