Chapter 40 YaYa, You're My Lucky Star

"By the way, what do you do?" Meng Ci suddenly asked.

"To show my sincerity, let me introduce myself first."

"My name is Meng Ci. I just turned eighteen this year, and I was a senior in high school."

Meng Ci realized that he didn't even know what Shen Que did for a living.

Since they had some free time now, why not get to know each other better.

After all, given the current situation, they were forced to team up and would need to work together for a while.

Shen Que said, "My name is Shen Que. I'm twenty-three years old, and I used to be a coach at a boxing gym."

"I served in the military for two years when I was eighteen, and after I was discharged, I trained under a boxing master for another two years before becoming a coach."

"I've also participated in several boxing matches."

"No wonder you have such a good physique; you were a boxing coach." Meng Ci said enviously.

"If you want to learn, I can teach you!" Shen Que offered.

Hearing Shen Que offer to teach him, Meng Ci's eyes lit up, but he still felt a bit reserved.

"Would that be too much trouble for you?"

Shen Que shook his head. "Not at all. With this heavy rain, there's nothing else to do anyway."

"Teaching you boxing will also help me review my skills."

Meng Ci nodded. Given the heavy rain, it wouldn't be appropriate to talk about money, so he proposed providing Shen Que with a meal every day.

Shen Que was happy with the arrangement since he wasn't a good cook.

Although it was only four o'clock after eating, the sky was already dark due to the rain, so they didn't continue building the wall.

After returning home, Meng Ci had nothing to do and wondered what Liu Jie and Li Xiaoya were up to.

So he deployed the fully charged surveillance fly to the twelfth floor.

"Jie Ge, I'm so hungry!"

Yesterday, they had forgotten to collect food.

Later, they heard that Meng Ci and the others had gone out to find food last night, so they had to ask him for some, despite their embarrassment.

Liu Jie was also feeling very hungry and had no patience for Li Xiaoya's complaints.

After sensing Liu Jie's coldness, Li Xiaoya remembered the kindness of her parents.

But now that Zhang Lu was accidentally killed, only Li Shanyang remained.

"Jie Ge, why don't we bring my dad back? Then we could get an extra portion of food."

In reality, Li Xiaoya thought that bringing Li Shanyang back would give her another source of support, in case Liu Jie couldn't be relied upon, and she hoped her father wouldn't hold it against her for agreeing to send him to the fat man.

"The fat man!"

Liu Jie suddenly had an idea, his eyes lighting up as he stood up excitedly and started pacing.

"That's right, how could I forget?"

"The fat man, the fat man!"

Li Xiaoya looked at Liu Jie fearfully, unsure of what had suddenly come over him.

"Jie, Jie Ge, what's wrong?"

Li Xiaoya huddled on the sofa, wearing ill-fitting clothes she had found in a vacated apartment on the fourth floor.

Initially, she had been reluctant to wear them, but she had no choice as it was too cold without them.

Now, thinking about these clothes belonging to someone else made her feel uncomfortable.

She wondered if the previous owner had any skin diseases that might ruin her beautiful body.

Liu Jie approached and held Li Xiaoya's shoulders, his eyes shining.

"YaYa, you're truly my lucky star!"

"If it weren't for your reminder, we would surely starve to death."

Li Xiaoya was confused and suspected that Liu Jie might be delirious from hunger.

"We should go kidnap the fat man. His place has food."

"Then, his food will become ours."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoya became excited too.

That's right. The fat man had so much food, more than he could possibly eat alone.

Why shouldn't he share it to save two lives?

The two of them acted immediately. As a precaution, Liu Jie also grabbed a kitchen knife.

Now on the fifth floor, apart from that fat man, everyone else had moved upstairs.

Even the residents on the sixth floor had gradually relocated to other floors.

The two of them weren't afraid of being discovered when they came down.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"Fatso, open the door for me!"

"Open the door!"

But there was no response.

Liu Jie, intent on getting food, began to ram the door with his shoulder and kick it with his foot, regardless of anything else.

The fat man's security door hadn't been replaced when he renovated.

It was a cheap door provided by the developer, so Liu Jie quickly kicked it open.

Despite all the noise outside, there was still no sound from inside the house.

Everything seemed off, but Liu Jie and Li Xiaoya were so focused on finding food that they didn't notice anything amiss.

"Damn it!"

Not long after entering the house, Liu Jie let out an angry exclamation.

At this moment, Meng Ci had also come downstairs and hid in the room next to the fat man's.

He placed the fly surveillance into the fat man's home and saw Liu Jie lifting one foot, with something sticky on the sole that looked like feces!

Controlling the fly surveillance to circle around the room, he found that the garbage inside was even dirtier than before.

"Damn it, where is that fatso!"

"Come out and lick my shoes clean!"

Liu Jie rubbed his shoe several times on the sofa, the smell of feces and the stench of rotting garbage filling his nose.

How could someone be so unhygienic?

Li Xiaoya covered her nose, tightly holding onto Liu Jie, her eyes scanning the room, fearing a rat might suddenly appear from the pile of garbage.

The stench was unbearable, but hunger was even more unbearable.

After confirming there were no strange things in the house, the two started searching everywhere.

Nothing, nothing, there wasn't any food at all.

Not even expired food.

Empty packaging, completely devoid of any residue.

Finding nothing in the living room and kitchen, they began searching the other bedrooms.

"Ahh!"

Li Xiaoya entered a room and was so frightened by the sight that she fell to the ground.

Then her hand touched something furry, and out of curiosity, she picked it up, only to find it was a nearly dead rat.

"Ahh!"

Li Xiaoya screamed again, throwing the rat away.

It landed on Liu Jie, who had come to check on the commotion.

Liu Jie jumped and kicked the rat off him.

"What happened?"

Liu Jie asked, also shocked by the state of the room.
