Reborn: I Stock Up and Bully the Trash to Dominate the Apocalypse

Zhou Shuwan sighed slightly, reached out and held Yuxuan's hand, and said softly: "Yuxuan, don't think like that. You are still very weak now, you need to take care of yourself slowly. Don't rush to deny yourself."

Yuxuan's fingers trembled slightly, and bitterness flashed in her eyes: "But I... I can't do anything. I can only drag my brother down."

Zhou Shuwan's eyes became firm, and his voice was full of unquestionable doubt: "Yuxuan, Zhipeng is not a burden to you. You are his only relative and his greatest spiritual comfort. You are too pessimistic to think like this."

Yuxuan lowered her head and remained silent.

Zhou Shuwan continued, “Actually, everyone is trapped on this ship now and can’t do anything.

After the sea was reopened, we haven't seen any living creatures except some dead fish.

But we are lucky enough, the mothership's inventory has enough food for us to eat for several years, so you don't have to worry about Zhipeng not going to work and having a lack of food.

You still have a lot of oil stored in your inventory, as well as supplies you stockpiled previously. Your situation is special now, so the mothership will give you a special subsidy.

Your brother-in-law and I went out whaling, and when we came back we were rewarded with several hundred kilograms of whale meat, and we also had plenty of supplies at home.

So even if you have no food, can we just sit there and watch?

Don’t feel any psychological pressure.”

Yuxuan stared at her blankly, then suddenly spoke softly, "Sister Wanwan, you're a very good person. My aunt, uncle, Mumu, and brother-in-law are all very good people. We've been a burden to you for a long time..."

As she spoke, her body trembled slightly, and her fingers subconsciously gripped the armrests of the wheelchair, her knuckles turning white.

Zhou Shuwan knew that she had gotten herself into a dead end. Yuxuan was now weak and had multiple fractures all over her body.

The doctor also said that even if she recovered completely, she might not be able to walk as healthily as before.

Therefore, her mood has always been extremely pessimistic and dark.

Zhou Shuwan looked at Yuxuan and felt a surge of sadness in his heart.

She thought of herself in her previous life, who had also experienced despair and helplessness, and could understand Yuxuan's feelings at the moment.

She also knew that these words of comfort would not be effective overnight.

Zhou Shuwan was not in a hurry. She just smiled gently and took out a deformed piece of chocolate from her backpack like a magic trick.

The wrapping paper was so old that even the words on it were worn out and could not be seen clearly.

"Come on, when you're in a bad mood, eat some sweets and you'll feel better." As she spoke, she peeled off the wrapper and handed the chocolate to Yuxuan's mouth.

Yuxuan was a little surprised and her eyes widened slightly.

Obviously, no one expected that Zhou Shuwan still had chocolates after so many years since the end of the world.

Her eyes wandered back and forth between Chocolate and Zhou Shuwan's face. Her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't open her mouth.

Zhou Shuwan smiled and casually explained, "We stockpiled a lot back then! Chocolate is a high-energy food.

Mu Mu was still young at that time and also liked sweet things.

Later, when we went looking for supplies, we also consciously looked for these. We usually don’t want to eat them, so we still have some stored up.”

Her tone was relaxed, as if she was talking about something very ordinary.

"Come, have a bite." Zhou Shuwan handed the chocolate forward again, his tone gentle but with a firmness that could not be refused.

Yuxuan was still a little hesitant, her fingers gently stroking the armrest of the wheelchair, her eyes complicated.

She knew that chocolate was very precious now and one chocolate could be exchanged for a lot of supplies.

She didn't want to waste something so precious, especially at a time like this.

Zhou Shuwan noticed her hesitation and patted her head lightly, saying with a hint of teasing, "Don't be so fussy. I'm quite wealthy, so I don't need a piece of chocolate."

As she spoke, she grabbed five or six chocolates from her backpack. They were all in very worn packaging, bearing witness to the test of time.

Yuxuan's eyes suddenly widened, with a look of disbelief in her eyes, no longer showing the depressed look she had before.

Zhou Shuwan said in a relaxed tone: "I'll put them here for you. Eat one when you feel down."

She placed a few chocolates in the drawer in front of her bed.

Yuxuan wanted to refuse: "Sister Wanwan, what a waste..."

Zhou Shuwan took advantage of her carelessness, pulled off a piece of chocolate, and quickly stuffed it into her mouth, saying with a playful tone:

"What's wasteful? As long as we can eat it, it's not wasteful!"

Yuxuan was startled by this sudden action, and her mouth was instantly filled with the mellow and sweet taste.

Her eyes widened slightly, and then she closed her mouth, letting the sweet taste of chocolate fill her mouth.

At the same time, tears rolled silently from his eyes.

Zhou Shuwan breathed a sigh of relief.

She knew that as long as she could cry, her emotions would be released!

The purpose of her coming here today has been achieved.

Yuxuan still had fractures on her body, so Zhou Shuwan didn't dare to touch her. He just held her lightly, trying to be as gentle as possible, and said firmly:

"Yuxuan, we have such a good leader, such an advanced mothership, and our loved ones by our side. We are much luckier than others.

So no matter how difficult it is, we must grit our teeth and persevere!

Hold on until the end of the world!"

Yuxuan lay in her arms, her eyes closed, tears streaming down her cheeks, and she tightly grasped the corner of Zhou Shuwan's clothes.

She took a deep breath, nodded vigorously, and said with a choked voice: "Hmm..."

Zhou Shuwan patted her back gently and looked through the window of the ward at the boundless sea outside.

Her voice was low but powerful: "Yuxuan, we are all here. No one will abandon you. We will definitely go to the end together."

Yuxuan's breathing gradually became steady and her tears stopped.

Zhou Shuwan didn't say anything more, but just stayed with her quietly until Yuxuan's emotions completely calmed down.

The wind blew gently outside the window, bringing with it a hint of the salty taste of sea water.

On the deck of the mothership, the crowd was still busy and the waves in the distance were still surging, but at this moment, the ward was so quiet that it seemed as if time had stopped.

When Zhou Shuwan came out of the ward, Zhipeng was already waiting in the corridor.

He looked a little dazed, with his hands in his pockets, leaning slightly against the wall, looking at the ward door from time to time, with a look of anxiety and fatigue on his face.

Zhou Shuwan closed the door, sighed softly, and turned to look at Zhipeng.

When Zhipeng saw her come out, he immediately stood up straight and looked at her eagerly.

Zhou Shuwan nodded slightly, motioning him to walk forward and talk.

The two walked along the corridor to a quieter corner.

Zhou Shuwan stopped and turned around, his eyes gentle but with a hint of solemnity.
