“The game announced at the beginning that there would be 20,000 NPCs and players in the game.” Fu Yizhi said, glancing at Fu Anan. “The game only provides information at the beginning, but not everything it said is useless.”

“I’ve always thought that those 20,000 NPCs were the people at the port.”

“It’s normal to have misconceptions here. This game is very deceptive.”

Fu Yizhi holstered his gun and coldly said. “Instead of being depressed here, it’s better to go and inspect the two staircases and elevator. Think about how to avoid those in the containers.”

Fu Anan saw that he was about to leave, so she stood up and followed him.

Both the front and back staircases were locked. The zombies that had gathered near the back staircase had dispersed, leaving only three or four wandering near the door.

Fu Yizhi found some wooden planks and nails. Together, the two of them blocked off the elevator as well.

——

At 4 pm.

The sky quickly grew darker.

Fu Yizhi looked up at the sky and said, “It’s going to rain heavily. Let’s go back.”

The two hurried back to the small shed, which was in a slightly messy state.

Fu Anan’s backpack was missing.

The room had been rummaged through. The food and water that were placed outside were gone. The medicines and the kitchen knife were also missing.

There was no need to think twice about who did this.

“Sun. Cai. YAN!”

Fu Anan gritted her teeth. If she hadn’t been carrying her weapons with her, would she even take her kitchen knife?!

“I thought you had killed her.” Fu Yizhi glanced at her.

Fu Anan lowered her head, “Killing people…… That’s too insane.”

She had been a law-abiding citizen for eighteen years. She had never even killed a chicken.

A bag of noodles and a small pot were placed in front of her.

“Well, you better adapt quickly.” Fu Yizhi pulled out a small knife tucked in his shoe, “Moreover, go cook.”

Fu Anan held the noodles in her arms, still in a stunned state. Then, she nodded her head in a dazed manner, “Ah, okay.”

Sun Caiyan didn’t take the seasonings with her when she left. The two buckets of 2-liter water were also still there. Cooking was a stress reliever, even with just one pack of noodles. Mixing the sauce was also a relaxing process.

“Okay, give it a taste.”

Fu Anan became more lively after relaxing a bit, “It’s a pity we don’t have scallions. I’m really good at making scallion noodles.”

Fu Yizhi sat down and took a bite. He quickly finished a large bowl of noodles. Even though this Master Fu didn’t say anything, he should be satisfied just by looking at his empty plate.

Fu Anan found a blanket and a quilt from the cabinet and spread them out on the small sofa.

Rumble——

Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled outside.

Large raindrops hit the metal sheets, creating a rustling sound.

Lying on the sofa, Fu Anan felt a bit uneasy. “Do you think the zombies in the containers will come out?”

“They will.” Fu Yizhi’s voice sounded. It was as if the reverberation of metal colliding in space—pleasant yet cold. "We'll take turns keeping watch at night, changing every three hours."

“Master Fu, I think we should go to a higher place.” Fu Anan turned over and looked at Fu Yizhi.

“A higher place?” Fu Yizhi raised an eyebrow. He looked into Fu Anan’s eyes.

“More precisely, we should go to the highest point of the containers.” Fu Anan nodded her head, “Zombies have a strong sense of smell and hearing. The shed is not sturdy enough. I have a feeling that the living people below might also try to find the opportunity to climb up.”

“I don’t think this small shed is safe enough. Anyway, we should take the opportunity while the zombies haven’t come out yet and move to the best possible location.”

Fu Yizhi closed his eyes. The room fell into silence for a moment.

Just when Fu Anan thought that Fu Yizhi wouldn’t accept her suggestion and was preparing to go solo tomorrow, he finally spoke out.

“Alright.”

Fu Yizhi looked at Fu Anan, “But there is one thing we must do before we can move to a new location.”
