Chapter Fifty-Four

Zhou Yu quickly admitted his mistake, saying, “Wife, I was wrong.” Nian Yu tugged on his ear again and said, “Well, well, tell me, just where were you wrong?” Zhou Yu hurried to respond, “I was wrong to listen to my wife’s words. Please, let go—it hurts.” Nian Yu tightened her grip and said, “Oh? Listening to your wife is wrong? Now you know pain?” Zhou Yu quickly said, “No, no, wife, I was wrong, please tell me what I should do.” Xiao Jie, standing by, just chuckled and didn’t interfere.

Nian Yu snorted and said, “So you actually dare to dream of having a harem? What, you want to be the emperor now?” Zhou Yu replied, “No, no, wife, I was wrong.” Nian Yu twisted his ear again and said, “Oh? I was wrong?” Zhou Yu said, “No, no, wife, it’s my fault. Please forgive me, it won’t happen again.” Xiao Jie chimed in from the side, “Alright, Nian Yu, let him go, or you’ll really hurt him.” Nian Yu said, “You always indulge him like this.” Although she said so, she still released her grip. As soon as Zhou Yu felt her hand let go, he muttered, “I won’t be the emperor, I’ll be the king.”

Nian Yu’s eyes narrowed again. “What did you say?” Zhou Yu had learned his lesson this time and quickly replied, “Nothing, I didn’t say anything.” Nian Yu gave two snorts but said nothing more. Zhou Yu said, “Alright, let’s prepare something to eat and tidy up a bit. Once we’ve eaten, we’ll be heading out.” After saying this, he tossed the keys to Zhao Yan and said, “You tidy up in the back. When we leave, you go out through the rear.” Zhao Yan laughed, “Got it.”

Soon, the meal was ready. After eating, everyone cleaned up the dishes and got into the cars. Given that it was the apocalypse and they had little to pack, it all went rather quickly. Zhou Yu left a message for Peng Honghai on the wall, telling him that if he saw the words, he should go to SH City to find him.

Once in the car, Zhou Yu called out, “For the sake of our future home, let’s go!” The place where Loli and the others lived was in Zhou Yu’s original city, SH City. However, their home was in the suburbs, more like a rural area. Zhou Yu drove straight back to SH City, but instead of heading directly to Loli’s place, he went to the police station first. Upon arrival, he drove straight to the underground parking lot.

Zhou Yu got out, opened the door, and said, “All the men, come upstairs with me. The women stay downstairs and watch the cars.” With that, Zhou Yu picked up his large knife and headed into the police station, making his way straight to the armory. Once there, he said, “Don’t just stand there—take as much as you can. Empty the place if you can.” Without another word, everyone started moving supplies. It took nearly an hour to carry everything down to the underground garage.

Zhou Yu then said, “Don’t rest yet, bring all the cars over and load them up. After that, we still need to hit the supermarket.” Zhou Yu had thought only he, Zhao Yan, and Wang Kui could drive, but unexpectedly, one of the middle-aged men could drive as well. Zhou Yu didn’t think much of it—one more driver meant one more vehicle’s worth of supplies.

At that moment, Xiao Jie came over to Zhou Yu and said, “Actually, the man who drove and the woman with him are husband and wife. They’re both migrant workers from a construction site, and they were at the hospital to visit a patient. The man, as we found out earlier during a break, works as a blacksmith in a small private smithy.”
