Apocalypse: Extreme Cold Descends, Goddess Offers Her Refuge

Reminded by Yi Mengrong, Yan Shu finally realized what was happening.

"Xia Lan, actually I was planning to go and accept the bounty from Luo Tianfa, but there's been a little mishap."

Yan Shu briefly explained the situation to the other party.

"So, could you help me contact Luo Tian? I'll give you the corresponding reward afterward."

The new mother, Xia Lan, replied readily: "No problem, Officer Yan! You helped me find my child before, so I'll definitely help you with this small favor."

"I never expected Yan Shu to dare accept Luo Tian's bounty!" Xia Lan exclaimed in astonishment on the other end of the phone.

However, she was just wondering how to approach the other party, and this provided her with an excellent opportunity to make her move!

Xia Lan definitely can't contact Luo Tian.

After all, her WeChat account had been blocked.

However, her current goal is the food in Yan Shu's hands, so whether or not she can contact Luo Tian is not important.

People were starving to death, so she couldn't care less.

"Xia Lan, I had a minor disagreement with Luo Tian before, so you'd better be careful when you contact him."

Yan Shu was unaware that Xia Lan had her eye on her food. Instead, she reminded her, "Please tell him that I can help him deal with Deng Tu and his men, but he has to give me some food in advance."

"Otherwise, given my current poor physical condition, I'm afraid I'm not very confident."

Xia Lan's heart sank when she saw this: "Officer Yan... what do you mean by that? Don't you have any food left?"

"That's not it," Yan Shu replied briefly.

Dealing with the police is such a hassle!

Xia Lan clenched her fist holding the phone, gritting her teeth as she said, "Logically, shouldn't you be telling me how much food is left at this point?"

After thinking it over, Xia Lan decided to try to calm the other party down first:

"Officer Yan, I'll contact Luo Tian right away. Please wait for me!"

Room 1204.

"Xia Lan is acting a bit strange. She seems very concerned about how much food I have." Yan Shu narrowed her beautiful eyes, noticing something unusual about the other woman.

but.

Xia Lan left a very good impression on her during their encounter a month ago.

Yan Shu didn't think much of it.

"Xia Lan is a decent person; you're probably overthinking it."

Yi Mengrong was quite familiar with Xia Lan, and said with a smile, "As far as I know, Bai Ya actually helped Xia Lan before she moved into Luo Tian's room!"

"With her as the middleman, contacting Luo Tian should be a sure thing!"

After all, you have your partner to whisper in your ear!

"Bai Ya?"

Yan Shu was taken aback and asked in surprise, "You're not talking about that big star Bai Ya, are you? She... moved into Luo Tian's house?"

Yi Mengrong slapped her forehead and laughed, "Look at me, I forgot you didn't know about this!"

She then explained, "I was also very surprised that the famous Bai Ya would live in the same building as us! However, Bai Ya was almost captured by Deng Tu and his gang of thugs, but luckily Luo Tian saved her!"

Yan Shu couldn't help but purse her lips and say, "Save me? I doubt it."

Sima Zhao's heart is well known to passers-by.

It goes without saying what kind of treatment Bai Ya, this beautiful and charming superstar, would receive if she moved into a grown man's house.

"It seems I'm overthinking it."

After understanding the whole story, Yan Shu also put aside her doubts about Xia Lan.

Not long after.

Xia Lan replied: "Officer Yan, I contacted Bai Ya, and she said she has already communicated with Luo Tian!"

To enhance her credibility, Xia Lan cleverly brought up Bai Ya. After all, Deng Tu hadn't revealed that she had betrayed Bai Ya.

"Really? Thank you for your help. What is Luo Tian's attitude?"

Yan Shu's eyebrows relaxed a little, and she pressed for an answer.

"...Well, Luo Tian said the one thing he has in abundance is chicken legs. If you take the job, he can give you four chicken legs in advance!"

Xia Lan typed this line of text in the chat box without any expression.

This also fits Luo Tian's character.

Four?!

Upon seeing Xia Lan's response, Yan Shu and Yi Mengrong were both astonished.

Originally, they thought it was already quite an achievement for Luo Tian to ask for an advance on even a chicken leg. After all, it was just an empty promise!

Unexpectedly, Luo Tian trusted her so much!

"Could it be that I misunderstood him before?"

Yan Shu bit her lip, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

For the first time, she began to doubt her own judgment of people.

"Xiao Shu, this is great! Four chicken drumsticks! We don't have to worry about starving to death! You eat one to regain your strength, and we can save the rest!"

Yi Mengrong said with delight.

Even Yi Sisi, who was standing to the side, swallowed longingly.

"However... Luo Tian also needs you to provide some guarantee."

News of Xia Lan followed shortly afterward.

He wants you to exchange five packs of instant noodles for him!

Five packs of instant noodles?

Upon seeing this news, Yan Shu's eyebrows furrowed involuntarily.

"Xiao Shu... what does Luo Tian mean by this? He clearly has plenty of instant noodles and other snacks at home!"

Yi Mengrong gripped the hem of her clothes tightly and asked nervously.

"I guess he's trying to force me to get rid of Deng Tu as soon as possible."

After thinking for a moment, Yan Shu explained.

They didn't lose out on this deal.

But there's a problem: they only have three packs of instant noodles on hand right now.

The conditions for an exchange are simply not met!

"Xia Lan, I only have three packs of instant noodles right now."

Yan Shu typed back: "Contact Bai Ya again and ask her to ask Luo Tian if he can lower his demands a bit."

this time.

Xia Lan was very patient, and after a while she responded: "Officer Yan, Luo Tian has agreed!"

"Phew~ Just as I expected."

Yan Shu breathed a small sigh of relief, and immediately became even more confident in her judgment.

Exchanging instant noodles was a pretense; her real intention was to give her a warning.

but.

The current situation is quite favorable for them.

At Xia Lan's request, Yan Shu, carrying her only three packets of instant noodles, carefully went to the 17th floor, to room 1701.

He left the things at the door, knocked, and left.

Xia Lan said that Luo Tian didn't trust Yan Shu, so she had to be the one to deliver the food.

The excuse is quite reasonable.

After all, before the apocalypse, Yan Shuke almost hurt Luo Tian, ​​and Xia Lan took advantage of this opportunity.

After Yan Shu left, Xia Lan quickly opened the door and grabbed the three bags of instant noodles.

Holding the instant noodles, she cried with excitement, "Little Bao... Mommy got some food!!"

"Officer Yan, I'm sorry..."

Xia Lan murmured.

Good people can't survive these days!

...

Send away the last remaining instant noodles.

The three of them sat down on the sofa and waited for news from Xia Lan.

"Chicken leg, Sisi wants a big chicken leg!"

Yi Sisi held her phone, opened the picture in the group chat, and drooled.

It would be a lie to say I'm not hungry!

"I have a feeling things won't go too smoothly."

Yan Shu looked out the window at the white, misty world.

The heavy snow continued to fall.

The snowflakes, as fine as goose feathers, fluttered and fell from the sky. This tranquil and beautiful scene, instead of bringing her peace, made her feel vaguely uneasy.

"Maybe I'm overthinking it."

Yan Shu shook her head.

She didn't want to doubt a mother who was raising her child alone and was having a harder time than others.

then.

The three of them began to wait quietly.

time flies.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

"Sister Rong, how long has it been since I returned from Xia Lan's house?"

Yan Shu suddenly spoke up.

“Five hours have passed…” Yi Mengrong said, biting her lip.

Yan Shu remained silent.

One heart.

Suddenly, it sank to the bottom of the valley.
