Her clothes slowly slipped off, revealing fair skin that, unlike the dirt on her face, gleamed brightly under the light.
She turned on the showerhead, letting the water spray onto her face, washing away the black grime.
It was warm water.
Xiao Lata felt the water's temperature, and a smile spread across her lips.
Then she picked up the shampoo and began to wash her hair strand by strand.
The door was closed, and Li Yuan waited outside for a while, listening to the pattering sound of bathing from inside the room. Li Yuan was somewhat anticipating what Yu Tong would look like after her bath.
She hadn't seen Yu Tong for a long time either.
When she was in junior high, she would still run into her every time she went to her maternal grandfather's house, but after entering high school, the number of times they met decreased, especially after university, when they barely saw each other.
When she first saw Yu Tong earlier, she didn't recognize her.
As a child, she thought Yu Tong was beautiful; although she dressed very simply, it was still difficult to conceal her beauty.
Unexpectedly, this wait lasted for almost an hour.
Li Yuan was already by the door, having opened a bottle of her own and started drinking it there.
Li Yuan had always been very well-behaved and gentle since childhood, but she also somewhat envied those brave girls, especially someone like Yu Tong who dared to hit boys.
She thought it was particularly cool!
The sound of bathing abruptly stopped.
A soft rustling sound of clothes being put on came from inside.

The door opened.
A girl walked out.
Like a lotus emerging from clear water, naturally unadorned.
Greeting her was a face like the clear halo of a new moon, like snow piled on a blossoming tree, a melon-seed shaped face of exquisite beauty.
Her skin, as white, delicate, smooth, and flawless as porcelain, was dazzlingly bright under the light.
Her figure was tall and graceful, her movements light, and her every action was dignified and elegant.
It seemed that because the clothes Li Yuan brought were a bit small, wearing them accentuated her devilish figure even more.
Between her curves, the clothes seemed unable to bear the weight, as if they might burst open at any moment as she moved.
However, the clothes Li Yuan, who was 165 cm tall, brought were already her largest size.
Seeing this, Li Yuan felt a little wronged deep down.
She ate so much, yet...
Her dark hair was like lacquer, her skin like jade, and her beautiful eyes sparkled.
She looked at Li Yuan, who was holding a wine bottle, and a smile curved at her lips. Unintentionally, every frown and smile revealed an inexpressible charm.
Her hair was still beaded with water, her face was delicate and lovely, her eyes clear, and she seemed relaxed after the hot bath.
A fresh and natural aura emanated from within, forming a beautiful and pure painting.
"Yu Tong, you're so beautiful," Li Yuan said to Xiao Lata with an admiring gaze.
Then, as if remembering something, she added, "Big Brother and the others still call you Xiao Lata, they really don't know a good thing when they see it. So stupid!"
Her expression showed a hint of disappointment, as if she was frustrated that they couldn't see her true worth.
Xiao Lata smiled, pointed to the clothes she was wearing, and asked, "Um, Li Yuan, do you have any other clothes? This, this is a bit small. Preferably a larger tracksuit."
Li Yuan's eyes rolled, as if she had remembered something.
She said happily, "Yes! My brother went out to collect supplies a while ago and raided many clothing stores, and there are some clothes suitable for you. Do you want a bra? I'll get you a wireless, non-sized sports bra."
Xiao Lata's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she nodded excitedly.
She had actually been enduring it. After the apocalypse broke out, she had always cleaned her body, but her face would still get dirty every time after washing.
In this environment, being a bit messy was also a form of camouflage for her.
Li Yuan came and went quickly. After Xiao Lata changed her clothes, she sat on the sofa with Li Yuan.
They watched a TV series on the projector Li Yuan brought.
When Xiao Lata first saw Li Yuan bringing in the projector, she was completely stunned.
It was the apocalypse, and they still had such conditions.
Seeing Xiao Lata's shocked expression, Li Yuan ran downstairs again, and after a while,
She came back with a pile of potato chips, melon seeds, and small snacks, then said with some regret, "These things are my treasured collection, which my Big Brother stocked up for me before. There's not much left now. Since Yu Tong is here today, I must share them with you."
Xiao Lata looked at everything in front of her and was completely speechless.
It was the apocalypse...
This was a bit much.
Her worst time before was during those few heavy rains, when supplies were scarce, and she also had to guard against zombies.
All her things were almost eaten up, and she even started to despair in the end.
Until the zombie tide receded later.
And Li Yu and his group, were their supplies really so abundant?
The two of them ate, drank, and chatted like this until late at night, when Li Yuan finally ran back to her own room.
After Li Yu returned from swimming, he went to the monitoring room. Today, Second Aunt was on duty.
Second Aunt was different from Second Uncle. Although Second Uncle had some wisdom, many of his ideas were quite sinister, which was very useful in the apocalypse.
Second Aunt, on the other hand, had a clear mind and saw everything very clearly.
Li Yu greeted Second Aunt and asked her to diligently monitor the area.
He particularly emphasized keeping an eye on the cameras in the residential area, especially on the third floor.
Although Li Yu and Xiao Lata had gotten along well as children, it had been a long time since they last met.
Even though Xiao Lata had given up all her possessions for her maternal uncle today to exchange for an anti-inflammatory medicine,
However, Li Yu, having been reborn, believed in one thing: besides family, he would not completely trust anyone.
Even now, Li Yu still held a scrutinizing attitude towards the workers who had come in.
Better safe than sorry; being cautious and careful would lead to a longer life.
From the monitoring room, Li Yu saw Li Yuan coming downstairs holding an empty wine bottle. Looking closely, it was his treasured beer.
After all, she was his sister, and a biological one.
If it were his younger brother, he would have slapped him already.
Forget it.
Li Yu felt a bit of a sour taste, then returned to his room.
He still began to ponder all the events that had happened today, like a revolving lantern in his mind.
Director Zhang.
Captain Lü.
The remaining people at Yugu Terrace.
Besides the few guns taken from Zhang Laoda, Director Zhang seemed to only have four handguns.
When they returned today, he specifically stopped the car and had Li Hang get out to check, and indeed no one had followed them. Haha!
It could be considered that Director Zhang was sensible; if he had dared to follow, then they wouldn't have had to stay there.
Also...
Li Yu soaked in the bathtub, his mind constantly thinking, checking for omissions and making up for deficiencies, pondering what he hadn't noticed and how he should pay attention in the future, and so on.
After thinking for a while, Li Yu got out of the bathtub.
Lying on the soft bed, he still couldn't fall asleep immediately; there was always a whip in his heart that prevented him from completely relaxing.
Even though he was already in this safe base, he still didn't dare to fully relax.
Looking at the moon outside the window, he drifted off in a daze.
It was almost April.
It had been almost half a year since he was reborn into the apocalypse.
