Chapter 31.2
Before the two ran up the stairs, Shen Shian quietly pulled Li Cheng. “If Mr. Miao can’t persist and wants to give up, you tell him that only by becoming strong can he survive, and only by living can he earn more than a dozen homes.”
Li Cheng didn’t know why, but still nodded, “Okay”.
The library floor was much taller than ordinary buildings. Running up and down a hundred times is not an easy task, especially when everyone around you looks at you like a fool.
However, to the surprise of Shen Shian, Li Cheng and rich man Miao persisted. They were sweating and panting like cows, and their clothes were so wet that they could twist out the water. When the last step was finished, they immediately fell to the floor on the first floor. It took a lot of effort to even move their finger.
Shen Shian took four bento boxes that were ‘accidentally’ found from the staff room, each of which was filled with noodles, two braised eggs and sausage. After sprinkling them with seasoning, he picked up four bowls of boiling water from the water boiler on the fifth floor. The water boiler on this floor was unplugged after the zombies were cleaned up. The water inside was still hot. According to the current generally accepted distribution rules, only those who participate in the zombie clean up operation could enjoy.
He put the four bento boxes on a wooden board, stood up and walked to the first floor with Shen Xun. When he reached there, he kicked the two legs of the two people that were soft and muddy, “Eat up.”
The chopsticks were found in the drawer of the staff room. It was probably because the staff often ordered takeaways, and a large amount of disposable chopsticks accumulated. Li Cheng’s limbs were so weak that he couldn’t even hold the chopsticks, so Shen Shian separated the chopsticks and stuffed them to their hands.
The lid of the bento box was lifted, and steam mixed with the aroma of instant noodles and sausage flew out. Rich man Miao’s hand with the chopsticks shook, his eyes seemed a little red, but he couldn’t see clearly through a layer of water mist. After a long time, he and Li Cheng took a sip out of the bowls.
Then they couldn’t control the speed.
In less than two minutes, rich man Miao put down the bento box without dripping any noodle soup and leaned on the chair with a long sigh. “This is the best f*cking bowl of noodles I have ever eaten.”
After seeing Shen Xun, rich man Miao quickly added, “Sorry, sorry, I forgot there is a child. Child, f*cking is swearing.children cannot learn. Don’t learn from your uncle.”
Shen Shian, “…”
“But brother Shen,” Rich man Miao said, “this child is quite fierce. When those who chose to stay started making trouble in the morning, his eyes looked like he was going to eat them.”
Shen Xun snorted. If it wasn’t for An An, those people would have entered his stomach.
He glanced at the two bento boxes opposite each other. If it wasn’t for the sake of An An, I dare you to eat my braised eggs and sausages. You two can’t run away. Li Cheng soon emptied his bento box. The box was lowered, and his body regained its strength. His dark complexion showed a little red, and he said to Shen Shian, “Thank you, Mr. Shen. I’m sorry to let you give it to us.”
Rich man Miao was also serious. “Brother Shen, you have saved me three times.” Once when he pulled him from the zombies into the library, then when he gave him a packet of biscuits. Now, he has given him the way and hope to live. If he wants to taste this steaming instant noodles and sausage again, he can’t just die in the library. “I can’t thank you enough for this. I will always remember this kindness.”
Shen Shian watched as the child finished eating the eggs. He then looked at the two of them and said, “I can’t always save your lives. If you want to live, you have to rely on yourself. There is leftover sugar and salt. Continue exercising tomorrow. “
Rich man Miao’s face lit up, “Tomorrow I will eat noodles with sausage again.”
Li Cheng couldn’t help but hit his shoulder with a grin, “What are you thinking Miao? Wake up!”
After eating, Shen Shian took the child into the bathroom to take a bath and change to a new underwear. Although Shen Shian was still uncomfortable with his dirty clothes, with the current environment, he could only do so.
Back in the reading room, he could see Zhang Ze standing next to the tatami where they had slept previously. Shen Shian quickly comforted the child who was ready to rush and bite him and walked over, “What’s the matter?”
Zhang Ze smiled mildly. “There is something I want to discuss with Mr. Shen.”
“Say it.”
“There are eight floors in the library.” Zhang Ze didn’t seem to mind his attitude at all, and whispered in a soft voice. “It will be cleared up soon. I’m afraid it will be difficult to collect materials later. I and the other participants had discussed this. I decided to go to the restaurant to try my luck. I wonder if Mr. Shen is interested?”
This is what he and his group have been planning mysteriously recently.
Shen Shian refused, “No.”
The library had a restaurant. In fact, it was more accurately called a cafe. It was located in the center of the garden inside the cylindrical glass wall. It was connected to the first floor by three arched wooden bridges, mainly for visitors and the staff to eat light meals and drinks.
Many visitors liked to borrow books and go to the restaurant to discuss with other people, not only because the reading areas need to be quiet, but also because of the unique beauty that could only be seen in the restaurant.
The design of the city library was very unique. It paid attention to the integration of humanity and nature, so it surrounded the large circle of glass wall with grasses and flowers. The three bridges leading to the restaurant were built into the shape of a wooden arch bridge, full with flowers on both sides. The restaurant itself was a huge wooden house. Various vine plants were climbing on the roof and walls. As a whole, if you didn’t look closely, you can’t really tell the difference.
There must be a lot of supplies in the restaurant, no doubt about that. But whether or not this batch of materials could be successfully obtained was not certain.
Since Shen Shian and others entered the library, no survivors other than them have been found. You should know that the H city library was different from other places. Because there were millions of books in the library and professional books of various types, the flow of people was extremely high on both weekdays and weekends. It’s impossible that everyone was infected with the virus. If so, then the number of zombies they encountered when cleaning up the floor was not right.
When they entered the library, the three doors from the entrance of the wooden bridge leading to the restaurant from the first floor had been properly locked from the inside. Then the most likely situation was that all the survivors in the library were hiding in the restaurant with the most abundant food resources. If you were in Shen Shian’s place, you’ll probably choose this way.
But there was only one problem. Those survivors who hid in the restaurant were still alive.
The layers of green vines hanging on the roof of the restaurant blocked all the windows, and only some silhouette of a person walking back and forth could be seen occasionally through the gap. It was not confirmed whether the person was dead or alive.
On the other hand, if the people in the restaurant were still alive, why haven’t they seen anyone out for so long? Even if they were afraid of a dispute between the survivors because of food, the helicopter sound that day was so loud, why didn’t anyone go outside?
Compared to the survivors in the restaurant being still alive, another guess was more convincing. Maybe they had mixed with some virus-infected people who had not yet mutated. Perhaps there had already been many zombies hidden in the restaurant. If so, the survivors who wanted to take refuge in it might have suffered unexpectedly.
If it was a week ago, Shen Shian might consider it. However, it has been determined that the zombies could evolve, and the evolved zombies could sense his space. He would not risk going in as a target.
Zhang Ze was not surprised by his answer. He smiled and nodded. “Okay, then Mr. Shen, good night.”
Shen Shian looked at his back and his eyebrows were slightly wrinkled. After what happened in the morning, Zhang Ze should be clearer than anyone else. He didn’t trust him, and he would never agree to enter the restaurant with him. That was a waste of time.
It wasn’t like asking him to go. It seemed like he came over to make sure he wouldn’t go.
Such an annoying person. Shen Shian rubbed Shen Xun’s head until he almost became bald.
