Chapter 61 How about it, do you like Ruan Qing?

"By the way, the mother rabbit gave birth to six baby rabbits this morning. Do you want to go see them?"

When Shen Que finished washing the dishes and Meng Ci was about to leave, he suddenly asked.

Shen Que wiped his hands and, considering he had nothing else to do later, agreed: "Sure."

Meng Ci had set up an electric heater near the cage to prevent the baby rabbits from freezing to death.

At that moment, the baby rabbits, having probably eaten their fill, were nestled by their mother's belly, sleeping soundly.

"I heard rabbits reproduce quite quickly. Before long, we'll be able to have rabbit meat."

Meng Ci thought that once these six rabbits grew a bit, they could check their genders and ideally keep two pairs for further breeding. It wouldn't take long before they had a large group of rabbits.

Shen Que nodded and, after seeing the rabbits, was about to leave.

Meng Ci called him back. Previously, the boxing techniques Shen Que taught him were practiced only on a punching bag.

With many battles ahead, he wanted a real-life training session with Shen Que.

"How about it?" Meng Ci asked.

Shen Que had no objections; sparring could help both of them improve.

But...

"If we really fight, I won't hold back."

"No problem."

Meng Ci felt that not holding back was best, as it would truly test his skills.

Bang.

Thud.

...

For the next hour, Meng Ci found himself falling to the ground in various positions.

Until the very end, lying on the ground completely unable to get up, Meng Ci marveled inwardly.

Fortunately, he had laid down thick foam mats where they fought; otherwise, he would have been beaten to death.

"Another round?"

Even after an hour of fighting, Shen Que wasn't even breathing heavily.

Meng Ci shook his head, "No more."

If they continued, Meng Ci felt he might actually die.

Shen Que didn't hold back at all, which was commendable.

After Shen Que left, Meng Ci lay on the ground to recover, then entered the space to take a hot shower and change into fresh clothes. He then took the bowl Yun Jingcen had used to serve dumplings and brought it to Ruan Qing.

"Bang bang bang!"

The stairwell door on the ninth floor was locked, so Meng Ci had to shake it vigorously.

"Click."

Hearing the sound of the security door opening, Meng Ci stopped shaking it.

"Pitter-patter, pitter-patter."

Hearing the footsteps, Meng Ci recognized them as Ruan Qing's.

Sure enough, a moment later, Ruan Qing, wearing fluffy slippers, walked over and smiled sweetly when he saw Meng Ci through the crack in the door.

"Brother!" Ruan Qing opened the door.

Through the crack, Meng Ci noticed two men in their late twenties nearby, presumably one of the teachers.

Seeing that it was indeed Meng Ci, they turned and left.

However, Meng Ci didn't hear them enter, suggesting they were still nearby.

It seemed these teachers were protecting Ruan Qing well.

"Mm." Meng Ci acknowledged and handed the bowl to Ruan Qing.

"Thank you for the dumplings."

Ruan Qing held the bowl and shook his head. "Brother, there's no need to thank me."

"Do you think the dumplings were good?"

Seeing Ruan Qing's expectant look, Meng Ci nodded.

"Very delicious."

Then he handed a plastic bag to Ruan Qing. "These are some snacks I found earlier. See if there's anything you like."

Ruan Qing happily accepted it, and upon seeing the spicy strips and chips inside, thanked him eagerly.

"Thank you, Brother."

"As long as it's from you, I like it."

"Good." Meng Ci felt he couldn't quite handle Ruan Qing acting so cute, as it only made him want to give him even more.

No, he mustn't be swayed by cuteness.

"Brother, am I good?" Ruan Qing suddenly asked.

"Hmm?" Meng Ci was puzzled, unsure what he meant by "good," but still replied, "Yes."

Ruan Qing continued, "Am I better than Shen Que?"

Shen Que? Meng Ci didn't understand how this had anything to do with Shen Que.

"I can cook, and my food is delicious!"

"Aren't I better than that big brute who only has brute strength?"

Meng Ci didn't know what Ruan Qing meant, so he patted his head.

"Why are you asking these things? Both of you are good."

"Alright, hurry up and lock the door. Don't keep those two teachers waiting."

"Okay." Ruan Qing obediently listened, reluctantly stepping back.

As he locked the door, he asked, "Brother, can I find you again later?"

"Of course." Meng Ci answered without hesitation.

Upstairs, Meng Ci rode his bicycle for a while before sitting down to rest.

Tsk tsk tsk.

Now that Li Xiaoya and the others were dead, Meng Ci didn't know what to do with his free time.

If Liu Jie hadn't left with Zhang Mingtian, he could have found some trouble with him for entertainment.

However, since Liu Jie was still alive, Meng Ci's grudge remained unsettled.

It seemed he needed to find a time to deal with Liu Jie.

But the refugee camp likely had many soldiers guarding it, making revenge difficult.

With nothing else to do, Meng Ci took out a LEGO set from his storage space and started building while listening to music.

Around five in the afternoon, as the sky began to darken, he heard the sound of engines outside.

Meng Ci quickly sat up.

At the window, he used a pair of binoculars to see clearly that five inflatable boats had stopped in front of a building nearby. Four people got off each boat.

The twenty individuals had a clear purpose; they entered the building and started searching everywhere.

From his vantage point, Meng Ci could see a man with tattooed arms roughly rummaging through a room near him.

It seemed these bandits had finally arrived.

When they reached the seventh floor, they likely found someone in one of the forcibly opened rooms.

Soon, something happened inside, and the curtains on the balcony were pulled aside, revealing half of a man's body being pushed out onto the balcony.

After saying something, the tattooed man slapped the other man twice and then threw him off the balcony.

The man had no chance to prepare and was quickly swept away by the floodwaters.

The men on the balcony laughed at the sight.

These people, now taking advantage of the lack of law enforcement, were committing atrocities and disregarding human life.

Within two hours, they had gathered enough supplies—food, clothing, and Meng Ci even saw several boxes of condoms stuffed into their pockets.

"Boom..."

The five inflatable boats departed one after another.

Through the binoculars, Meng Ci noticed movement in the curtains of a few apartments in nearby buildings.

It seemed there were still many people who hadn't gone to the refugee camp.

Only time would tell how long they could stay here after this raid.

Taking a box of bullets from his storage space, he loaded his gun, preparing early.
