Chapter 101

Xiao Jie’s face flushed as he said, “Let’s not dwell on that for now. I want to figure out how to quickly increase our combat power.”
Xiao Jie was deliberately avoiding the topic.

Meanwhile, after Zhou Yu and Leng Yuhang set out, they headed straight for the snack street. The three of them fought off zombies relentlessly along the way.
After clearing some zombies, Zhou Yu went into several shops searching for fresh food.

Even after scouring the entire street, they didn’t manage to fill the entire vehicle.
Zhou Yu found a wooden stick and, using some scrap paper, set it on fire.

Once one end of the stick turned to charcoal, they began marking the walls after each street with the message: “Come to the Shura Base to find me—Former Military District, Yu Liu.”
They then visited a few supermarkets and clothing stores, collecting clothes, sausages, instant meals, snacks, as well as alcohol and cigarettes before finally leaving.

Next, Zhou Yu told Leng Yuhang to drive to a home improvement mall, where they picked up some practical quilts.
Finally, Zhou Yu asked Leng Yuhang to take them to SH City’s largest bridal shop, “Promise of Love.”

Hearing this, Leng Yuhang asked curiously, “What’s this? Xiao Yu, are you planning to marry them now?”
Zhou Yu smiled and said, “Not right now, but I want to get engaged first. After all, we already have a base.”

Leng Yuhang asked, “So how do you plan to propose?”

Zhou Yu looked puzzled. “Isn’t there another way?”
Seeing Zhou Yu’s confused expression, Leng Yuhang laughed heartily, “Are you out of your mind? At the very least, a proposal needs a diamond ring.”

Zhou Yu gave an awkward chuckle. “Haha, I completely forgot about that today.”
Leng Yuhang said, “Anyway, it’s the apocalypse now, so no need to spend money. Why not grab a bunch from the jewelry store?”

Zhou Yu grinned slyly. “Hey, hey, hey, that doesn’t sound like you. The you I know doesn’t like to take advantage, much less do things like this.”
Leng Yuhang chuckled, “Heh, people change.”

Zhou Yu said, “Come on, so have you set your sights on any particular girl?”
Leng Yuhang blushed a little and said, “Earlier, while watching them train, I noticed a woman. She’s a soldier, under Haozi’s command.”

Zhou Yu nodded knowingly. “I see, the old fellow has finally had a change of heart.”
Leng Yuhang smiled mischievously. “How about we loot some watches, necklaces, earrings, bracelets, rings, and the like?”

Zhou Yu ignored Leng Yuhang and turned to Liu Haishan. “Do you have someone you like?”
Liu Haishan replied stiffly, “I do, but it’s impossible.”

Zhou Yu asked, “Why impossible? Does she have a boyfriend or is she married?”
Liu Haishan said, “She thinks I’m stupid.”

Zhou Yu covered his face and said, “You really are dumb. If she calls you stupid, it just means you don’t understand romance. You big oaf.”

Liu Haishan huffed, “I’m not stupid, I’m a soldier king.”
Zhou Yu asked, “Then can you beat me in a fight?”
Liu Haishan was silent.

Zhou Yu continued, “Can you outshoot Haozi?”
Liu Haishan remained silent.

Zhou Yu said, “No answer, huh? You can’t do anything, yet you say you’re not stupid?”
Liu Haishan grumbled, “I’m not stupid anyway.”

Zhou Yu said, “Right, you’re not stupid. You just have zero EQ.”
Liu Haishan looked puzzled. “What’s EQ?”

Zhou Yu sighed and explained, “EQ stands for Emotional Quotient, which means emotional intelligence. It’s the ability to manage your own emotions and those of others. It’s closely related to IQ.”

“In simple terms, EQ measures a person’s skill at handling emotions—theirs and others’.”
