Li Jian turned around and called a woman's name several times inside: "Liu Mei, Liu Mei! Come down quickly!"

Soon, a woman with long hair came running over.

Li Jian solemnly handed the child to her and said, "From now on, this child will be given to you to raise. You should raise her as if she were your deceased daughter. Don't let anything happen to her. She is our life, do you understand?"

The woman named Liu Mei had just lost her daughter a while ago. When she looked at the baby girl in front of her, she excitedly hugged her in her arms and refused to let go.

Zhang Yi let out a casual smile. "Looks like I can rest assured now, right?"

Li Jian nodded repeatedly: "Yes, you can rest assured!"

Zhang Yi didn't say anything else.

He was able to do this and was doing justice to the baby girl. From then on, Zhang Yi didn't have the energy to care whether she lived or died.

He glanced at the skinny Li Jian, then looked up at the 18th floor in front of him.

Suddenly, he asked, "How many people are still alive in your building?"

Li Jian replied cautiously, "There are still 66 people."

"66?"

Zhang Yi suddenly smiled happily, "This number is really auspicious. Looks like I'm going to have good luck soon!"

Li Jian had no choice but to smile apologetically.

Zhang Yi asked again, "How are you going to survive? I won't provide you with any food!"

Li Jian opened his mouth and hesitated for a long time before saying, "There will be a way! We have lived to this day and have encountered many difficult things."

"As long as people are alive, there is hope. There is always a way out. I have always believed in it!"

Zhang Yi chuckled mischievously, then approached Li Jian and said seductively, "The food problem is easy to solve. See those buildings I burned down? The rations in there are enough for you to eat for a while!"

Li Jian's expression changed.

He shook his head firmly. "No, we won't go that far. Once we make a wrong start, the end that awaits us will ultimately be destruction."

"Rather than that, it's better to die with our dignity intact. That way, at least our hearts will be clear and at peace."

Zhang Yi looked at Li Jian in surprise.

He admitted that he was somewhat shocked by the man in front of him.

It has become such a difficult time, is there anyone who can remain true to himself?

There should be!

But Zhang Yi didn't expect that such a person would appear next to him.

If you have not experienced such a tragic disaster, it is difficult to truly see a person clearly.

Zhang Yi smiled slightly and said to Li Jian, "To be honest, I admire you very much."

Li Jian forced a smile. "Thank you, but I admire you even more. Because you have the ability to keep yourself and those around you alive, even if the end of the world comes, you can still live well."

"In this regard, I am far inferior to you."

Having said that, Li Jian plucked up his courage and made another attempt.

"Zhang Yi, I have a request..."

"Stop!"

Zhang Yi reached out to stop him, "I know what you're going to say, but you don't have to say it anymore. I won't help you! I don't have the time for that."

Li Jian asked in confusion, "Why? You could provide 300 portions of food before, and now there are only about that many people alive in the entire community. With your ability, there's absolutely hope that you can manage the entire community and lead everyone to survive!"

Zhang Yi sneered.

"All living beings suffer. I am not a Buddha, so I cannot save so many people."

"Even if I saved them, they might not be grateful to me. I know very well the principle of gratitude and resentment."

"Living in troubled times, being able to take care of myself is already a real challenge. I don't have such lofty ambitions or a great heart. I just want to live a good life."

The last hope was shattered, and Li Jian's face looked a little gloomy.

Although he spoke well and said that there is always a way out, judging by the current situation, it would be difficult for them to hold out for much longer.
