The following events are self-explanatory.
Zhang Chen returned to his room.
He heard a commotion from the adjacent room, but no cries.
The little girl stood by herself at the doorway.
Watching Er Pang stare blankly into space.
Five minutes later, Park Chang Le came out with the woman.
Park Chang Le sighed softly and said mournfully:
"Alas, in this apocalypse, living is truly not easy!"
"My name is Park Chang Le, what's yours?"
The woman held the girl, looking at Park Chang Le with vigilance.
Afraid that this man might harm the little girl.
Even though he was fast...
But... absolutely not!
"My name is Choi Ji Yeon..."
The woman said softly.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you. We are all from the Kimchi Nation, and we should support each other!"
"Looking at your age, and the child's age, you are not mother and daughter, are you!"
Park Chang Le asked gently.
At the same time, he took out a piece of bread.
Turning his back to the mother and daughter, he dug out the moldy part.
Then he turned around with a smile.
He broke the bread and gave a piece to Choi Ji Yeon and the girl each.
The little girl was clearly very hungry and chewed with large bites.
As if afraid this piece of bread would be snatched away.
Choi Ji Yeon was reluctant to eat it and put the remaining half loaf back into her ring.
Seeing that Park Chang Le was very gentle and even gave her food.
Her guard against Park Chang Le lessened considerably.
She said softly, "I am a nurse, and this girl is not my real daughter..."
"She is a little patient I was looking after."
"We were teleported to the apocalypse together, and we have been relying on each other ever since!"
Park Chang Le nodded, then took out a jacket from his space and draped it over Choi Ji Yeon, saying softly:
"You are a kind woman!"
"It's raining outside, and it will be very cold!"
"You will easily catch a cold dressed like this!"
"You can live here from now on, and I can protect you!"
"Although my supplies are not much..."
"But... it's enough for the three of us to last for a while!"
Choi Ji Yeon nodded gratefully and said:
"Thank you for your kindness... but..."
"When the rain stops, we will leave and will not trouble you!"
"I heard that Tianyang City Military Base has a shelter established by the military..."
"Although it's a bit far from here, I believe we can get there in time before the suppression is lifted!"
"Min Soo's gastrointestinal function is disordered, and she hasn't recovered yet. I must take her to the military base to see a doctor as soon as possible!"
"As you know, in an environment like the apocalypse, with uncertain food supply, gastrointestinal problems can be very fatal!"
"Mr. Park, you can come with us!"
Park Chang Le waved his hand gently and said:
"I won't be going. I'm doing very well here. There are strong individuals here, so I feel very safe!"
"And I suggest that you and the child should also stay here, as no one knows what might happen along the way!"
"As for the stomach problems, I will find a way to get some medicine!"
Choi Ji Yeon thanked Park Chang Le repeatedly, but insisted on going to the military base.
"Fine, if that's the case... then I won't force you!"
"You can rest here until the rain stops, and leave whenever you wish!"
Park Chang Le said helplessly.
"Thank you, Mr. Park... you are a good person..."
Choi Ji Yeon said, and gently kissed Park Chang Le on the cheek.
Before it was forced, now it was voluntary.
The feeling was naturally different.
This kiss made Park Chang Le's heart flutter.
Park Chang Le was stunned for a moment.
Then he took out two bottles of water from his ring and gave one to Choi Ji Yeon and one to Xiu Min.
"Drink some water. If your stomach function is not good, replenish more fluids!"
"Don't put these two bottles away. You must drink them all today, or I will be angry!"
Park Chang Le said, feigning a stern expression.
First bread, then water.
Choi Ji Yeon was incredibly touched.
She knew that there was strict order here, no one would force her to do anything she disliked, nor would they rob her.
In such a safe environment, Park Chang Le would treat her this way.
It must be out of fellow countryman's affection.
She became even more convinced that Park Chang Le was a good person.
Choi Ji Yeon was indeed very thirsty, and gulped down a bottle of water quickly.
Xiu Min only drank half a bottle.
The remaining half bottle of water, as per Park Chang Le's request, was not put into the ring.
Instead, it was placed on the table.
"You two are also tired, and you have a long journey tomorrow!"
"Just sleep on my bed to recover your strength!"
Park Chang Le said, holding Choi Ji Yeon's hand.
"Then... what about you?"
Choi Ji Yeon asked.
"I can sit on the sofa for a while, and I don't feel sleepy during the day, so I don't need to sleep!"
"You rest, don't worry about me!"
Park Chang Le smiled slightly, turned, and walked out, slowly approaching the window.
Coincidentally, Zhang Chen was also there.
Park Chang Le smiled and greeted him proactively:
"Where were we in our conversation just now?"
"Heh, it was interrupted by some small episodes..."
"But it's okay, let's continue!"
"I'm here doing some small business!"
"I have some trinkets, and some not-so-valuable food and water. See if you find anything you like?"
"Exchange some crystal cores..."
Park Chang Le couldn't discern Zhang Chen's strength.
But he knew that the bed Zhang Chen was living in was affordable only for those with abundant crystal cores.
He figured Zhang Chen must have plenty of resources.
"Okay!"
Zhang Chen nodded.
Then he instinctively used his [Basic Peeping Eye] to scan Park Chang Le's ring.
Soon, all the items inside were clearly displayed before Zhang Chen's eyes.
A Level 3 storage ring, and the vehicle warehouse surprisingly contained a helicopter!
Good heavens, this thing is convenient.
It can directly bypass zombies and obstacles on the ground and reach the destination!
Looking at the items in the grids, [Energy Crystal Core] * 88, [Certain Racy Video] * 7, [Uniform] * 3, [Expired Moldy Bread] * 100, [Contaminated Water] * 50, [Purified Water] * 15, [Packaged Kimchi] * 150, [Instant Noodles] * 40...
This guy's ring actually stored so much [Expired Moldy Bread] and [Contaminated Water].
[Expired Moldy Bread] is somewhat understandable, as food is scarce in the apocalypse, and it can be kept for emergencies.
But this [Contaminated Water]...
Zhang Chen found it a bit incomprehensible.
This item cannot be used for cleaning, nor can it be drunk.
And why pack fifty bottles of it?
What is the reason for this?
