This is understandable; after all, they hadn't known each other for long, and the gun was undoubtedly the young woman's last resort for survival. Anyone would be worried about it being coveted. Zuo Feng simply answered Yue Jiaxue's question on behalf of the young woman. He had never coveted the gun in her hand—after all, that gun could be said to be a memento left by her husband.
After hearing Zuo Feng's words, Yue Jiaxue didn't ask any more questions; it all made sense now.
The young woman, however, felt her hair stand on end: "He actually knows I have a gun? I hid it so well, how did he find out?"
But in an instant, she felt relieved. Zuo Feng's apartment was directly above hers. He must have seen the entire process of her husband handing her the gun. He had known she had a gun for a long time but hadn't asked for it, so he probably wouldn't ask for it now.
As for whether he might be trying to stabilize her first and then find a way to take the gun later, that's even more impossible! She was right here now. If he really wanted her gun, he could subdue or kill her right now and take the gun directly; she would be completely unable to resist.
"You should go back and check on the child first," Zuo Feng said after a moment of thought. "We will inform you about the Tiger King Alliance's supplies after we discuss them."
He thought that since they would be neighbors in the future, everyone should know about the young woman's husband's situation, but how could such a sad story be told in front of the young woman?
"Oh, thank you."
The young woman looked at Zuo Feng gratefully. This time, she was sure that Zuo Feng was not a bad person. She stood up to leave, as she was indeed a little worried about her daughter.
"Everyone might live together in the future, so I should tell you about Tao Yanyan's matter."
Only after the young woman left did Zuo Feng tell everyone about the young woman's husband's story...
After listening to Zuo Feng's account, Yue Jiayu's watery big eyes instantly became moist. Although she had seen the man being bitten, the view from her home's balcony didn't show the man passing food and a gun upstairs.
'Xiao Yu is so touched, she wants to cry'—this is what Yue Jiayu was saying internally now. Da Bai Tu's hand, clutching Diamond Girl's, stiffened for a moment, then her small head lowered slightly. Yue Jiaxue's cold face also softened a little.
"I'll go check the Tiger King Alliance's place later to see if there are any supplies."
Zuo Feng suggested. He had a premonition that the Tiger King Alliance's supplies should not be small, and it would be a waste not to take them.
"I'll go with you. Although that Mutant is injured, no one can guarantee he won't return, and we also can't be sure if there are people or other Mutants in the house. It will be safer if I go with you."
Yue Jiaxue said, following Zuo Feng's words. She was also worried about Zuo Feng's safety.
In this apocalypse, even as a Mutant, it wouldn't be easy for her and her sister to survive. Now, with the appearance of another Mutant, and a trustworthy one at that, their safety in survival would naturally increase significantly if they cooperated.
As for why he was trustworthy, Yue Jiaxue felt that she owed her survival to Zuo Feng; he was her savior and had no ill intentions. If he had, it would have been exposed when she was unconscious.
"No, you should stay. My home has no door, and there are so many supplies inside. Someone needs to watch them. Without a door, if anyone else or zombies come, Da Bai Tu and your sister alone won't be able to guard it. I'll go over and move the Tiger King Alliance's supplies first, then Da Bai Tu and I will move to an empty room upstairs."
Zuo Feng had already thought it through. His home had no door and a large hole in the floor, making it unsuitable for living. The next-door apartment had just been given to the young woman, and he couldn't kick her out to live there himself. As for the fatty's house, the sight of those plump maggots gave Zuo Feng goosebumps. After dealing with the aftermath of the Tiger King Alliance, he would move upstairs.
"I've already thought of this for you. My home has three rooms. You and Qianqian-jie can stay at my place first. My sister and I will share one room, you and Qianqian-jie will share another, and the remaining room will store supplies. We'll live together to look out for each other. Let's move your supplies over first, then we'll go to the Tiger King Alliance together."
Yue Jiaxue's cheeks were a little flushed. She had never lived in the same apartment as a man before, even if it wasn't the same room.
Now she was actually inviting a man to live in her home, especially a man who had seen her naked!
She felt embarrassed herself, but after Zuo Feng displayed his mutated abilities, she had the idea of making him her partner. She knew her weakness was her fear of close combat.
And Zuo Feng was a close-combat defensive Mutant, so they could complement each other perfectly. In this apocalypse, finding a trustworthy and complementary partner was not easy.
Zuo Feng was tempted by Yue Jiaxue's suggestion. Although he could control his shield to attack, his control range was only 5 meters centered around himself, and the shield was primarily a defensive weapon.
Yue Jiaxue, with her super long-range attack of 1000 meters, was undoubtedly a powerful complement. He felt that he and Yue Jiaxue combined were like a tank and marksman duo in a game. And although Yue Jiaxue was a bit cold, her character was trustworthy.
When he wasn't home today, only Da Bai Tu was in the room.
There were so many cans in the room, and even Yue Jiaxue, as a Mutant, hadn't had any ill intentions. Her character was still trustworthy.
What's more, Yue Jiaxue had shot and killed people from the Tiger King Alliance to protect Da Bai Tu. So, Zuo Feng actually owed Yue Jiaxue a favor. Such a partner was indeed rare.
The most important point was that Zuo Feng had only been gone for a short while today, and someone had already tried to break into his home, making Zuo Feng realize that in this apocalypse, it was truly difficult for him alone to protect Da Bai Tu; he needed trustworthy partners.
After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Zuo Feng felt that Yue Jiaxue's suggestion was indeed feasible, but he still needed to ask Da Bai Tu's opinion. Zuo Feng's gaze turned to Da Bai Tu, with a questioning look in his eyes.
"Xiao Nan Ren, I think Sister Xue's suggestion is good. Living together is also good for looking out for each other. And we don't know if that Mutant from the Tiger King Alliance is dead or not. If he's not dead, an injured beast is the most terrifying. We also don't know if he will seek revenge. Living together is safer."
Da Bai Tu naturally agreed with Yue Jiaxue's words. Da Bai Tu also deeply understood the dangers of the apocalypse; an extra person meant an extra layer of security. She and Yue Jiaxue, these sisters, also got along well. Most importantly, Yue Jiaxue's strength could help her Xiao Nan Ren.
"Okay, Yue Jiayu, go open your door. Let's move quickly, then go to the Tiger King Alliance together. Delays can lead to trouble."
Zuo Feng didn't dally. Since Da Bai Tu also agreed, it was settled. Moving Zuo Feng's household supplies was quick. The young woman was also called over to help.
The young woman, Zuo Feng, and the Yue Jiaxue sisters moved quickly. Da Bai Tu, due to her foot injury, only did some simple organizing work.
With five people working together, Zuo Feng and Yue Jiaxue, who had finished moving in just an hour, went out and headed towards the Tiger King Alliance's stronghold...
In the hallway, Zuo Feng occasionally glanced at the cleaver in Yue Jiaxue's hand, feeling somewhat puzzled. What would a marksman do with a cleaver?
"Uh, about this morning, I'm sorry. I really didn't mean it. I hope you can forgive me."
It was rare for the two of them to be alone, and Zuo Feng felt he still needed to apologize for what happened this morning. After all, he had seen Yue Jiaxue naked. Although it was an accident, an apology was still necessary.
"It's fine, it's over."
Yue Jiaxue responded indifferently, her tone flat, as if she hadn't taken the matter to heart at all.
What Zuo Feng couldn't see was that Yue Jiaxue, who was walking ahead, had a completely red face. Every time she thought of that scene, Yue Jiaxue was so ashamed and angry that she wanted to chop someone. Her silly sister, she would have to beat her again when they got back, and this silly man, couldn't he just not mention it!
Seeing Yue Jiaxue respond like this, Zuo Feng felt a little relieved and said no more. The two quickened their pace, moving forward in silent understanding.
"Clang!"
Unit 2, Room 905, was the Tiger King Alliance's base. In front of the tightly shut door, Zuo Feng watched in astonishment as Yue Jiaxue, holding a cleaver glowing with golden light, split open the door lock with one blow, then kicked open the anti-theft door of 905. Simple and brutal!
