The Vicious Female Character at the End of Days: C6.2

Hey, first of all, thanks for reading my lousy Machine Translation. To be honest, I’d really like it if you guys corrected the mistakes I made. But please speak nicely and politely. My heart is not strong enough to read your too-harsh comments. Have a nice day. 🙂

Chapter 6. (2/2)

The group stayed in Jiangcheng for three days, collecting the necessary supplies, and then crossed the bridge towards their next destination.

In the car, Bai Qing Qing sat cross-legged on the sofa, continuing to draw with her uninjured right hand.

Looking down from the second floor, Liang Zhiyu saw a monstrous modified car drawn on a white sheet of paper, with two tall men and a slender, thin woman standing on its roof.

Under a star-studded night sky, the three of them, bathed in the silvery moonlight, gazed at the desolate wilderness. The windows of the RV emitted a soft, warm glow, creating a particularly cozy atmosphere in the quiet night.

This was a very moving piece of art.

In the harsh environment of the apocalypse, humans fought monsters for survival, and even human bases offered no sense of security.

Bai Qing Qing kept feeling that the lines in her drawing were off, so she erased and redrew them, then bit her pen in frustration. Just then, a gentle male voice sounded in her ear, “Twenty degrees to the left.”

Bai Qing Qing turned her head to look at the man standing not far away and said, “You can draw too?”

In fact, she knew the personalities and life stories of the five men she wanted to seduce. Liang Zhiyu had loved drawing since childhood, but was forced to become a doctor due to family reasons, which led him to give up his lifelong hobby.

She had studied at an art academy, but after the apocalypse, drawing skills were completely useless. If you couldn’t even save your life, who would still draw?

Liang Zhiyu felt a slight fondness for her painting, his attitude gentle yet distant: “I studied it when I was little.”

“How’s this painting?” Bai Qing Qing picked up a flower and handed it to him. “I think it’s still not perfect enough. Can you take a look?”

Liang Zhiyu sat down on the sofa not far from her, glanced at the painting, and returned it. “It’s not appropriate for others to criticize your painting. Sometimes, imperfections are precisely what make something perfect from a certain perspective.”

Bai Qing Qing bit the pen, her starry eyes sparkling, and chuckled softly, “Dr. Liang, what you say is so profound.” She realized she could not relate to Liang Zhiyu’s perspective, accepting her position as an outsider to his world.

“Don’t bite the pen,” Liang Zhiyu couldn’t help but say. How could she have such a habit? Didn’t she know that illness can enter through the mouth?

​

“Okay,” Bai Qing Qing obediently let go.

Fu Chen lifted the curtain and entered, seeing Liang Zhiyu and Bai Qing Qing chatting happily, a sense of foreboding creeping into his heart.

“Brother.” Bai Qing Qing got off the sofa, slippers in hand, and ran towards Fu Chen. “Look at my painting.”

​

Fu Chen glanced at it, his words curt: “Not bad.”

“Just two words?” Bai Qing Qing looked disappointed. “Brother, I was going to give it to you. If you don’t like it, I’ll give it to someone else.”

Liang Zhiyu’s eyes flashed with curiosity. Who would she give the painting to?

Fu Chen snatched the painting. “I didn’t say I didn’t want it.”

Liang Zhiyu truly didn’t know Fu Chen would be interested in painting. Seeing him so forcefully accept the gift, a dark glint flashed in his eyes.

The modified car arrived at a highway service area near dusk. It was the only service area for miles around, and after the apocalypse, service areas had become abandoned.

The service area had only two floors. The windows and doors were broken, and the large parking lot was filled with many dilapidated cars. There were no zombies wandering outside.

Just to be on the safe side, Fu Chen and Cheng Rui scoured the area to make sure there were no zombies nearby before getting out of the car to check for usable supplies inside the service area.

Even if there were zombies in this place, they would either starve to death or leave for the city to hunt for food.

Bai Qing Qing, thinking about collecting supplies again, excitedly ran inside, but before she could take two steps, Fu Chen grabbed her hand, saying, “Don’t run around.”

He held her arm tightly, clinging to her side.

Bai Tian Tian felt guilty for causing trouble last time, so this time she obediently stayed with Shen Mingxuan and Liang Zhiyu. Xiao Yang and Cheng Rui led the way, kicking open a rusty iron gate and leading everyone inside.

The highway service area was large. The shelves were empty, and the door to the inner warehouse was locked, indicating it hadn’t been touched.

Cheng Rui simply and roughly kicked open the door, and at that moment, several terrifying zombies pounced out, which he and Xiao Yang swiftly and decisively dealt with.

Bai Qing Qing’s eyes lit up when she saw the contents of the warehouse. In this apocalyptic world, food was life itself, so she quickly began searching for sustenance, storing all the unexpired dry and wet foods into her spatial storage.

Fu Chen watched her happily gather supplies, slowly following behind, keeping an eye on her safety.

Halfway through the search, Bai Qing Qing suddenly stopped. Fu Chen went over. “What’s wrong?”

Bai Qing Qing said with a troubled expression, “My spatial storage is full.”

The space, which was slightly over a thousand square meters, was quite small. The last time she was in Jiangcheng, she had stored all sorts of supplies, and they were almost overflowing. She needed to upgrade to continue adding more.

When you can buy things like crazy without spending money, but your pockets are full, it’s inevitably frustrating.

Fu Chen frowned. “Can’t fit anymore?”

“Yes.” Bai Qing Qing looked up at him. “My spatial storage needs an upgrade.”

Fu Chen naturally understood what she meant. Everyone’s special abilities need to absorb crystal cores to evolve and upgrade, and having a spatial ability is no exception.

Within the Thunder Squad, crystal cores were basically divided equally. This explained why Bai Tian Tian, despite lacking combat abilities, possessed a level two spatial ability. However, this was the early stages of the apocalypse; even among hundreds of zombies, there wasn’t necessarily a single crystal core.

He had killed a level three zombie in the parking lot the last time and had happened to find a crystal core, which was his personal property.

Fu Chen took out the crystal core and gave it to her: “This crystal core is for you.”

Bai Qing Qing hadn’t expected him to give her a crystal core so directly. Holding the pale green, hard candy-like core, her eyes lit up with surprise. “Brother, you really gave this to me?”

Fu Chen sensed her joy and said calmly, “Keep it. You can eat it later to upgrade your space.”

His tone was indifferent, as if he were giving her an ordinary piece of candy, not a valuable crystal core.

Bai Qing Qing happily accepted the crystal core, her whole being radiating happiness at the thought of upgrading her space.

The group emerged from the warehouse and encountered a group of people who had suddenly appeared.

Fu Chen immediately shielded Bai Qing Qing behind him, squinting at the group of armed men.

“Stand still!” the leader shouted coldly, as a group of burly men pointed their guns at them, their eyes gleaming with ferocity.
