C14 Don't Ask
Zhou Guoqiang thought that Zhou Heng and the group of robbers outside were just like him, robbing women, so he was very angry.
"Dad, you misunderstood me." Zhou Heng smiled helplessly and explained, "Miss Tong is a scientific researcher from the Bureau of Natural Resources. She is here to help us."
"A scientific researcher?"
Hearing that, Zhou Guoqiang was shocked. He held onto Huo Yun's hand and said excitedly, "You really are young and promising."
"Thank you for your praise."
Huo Yun said humbly, "I still need your help in the future."
"No problem."
Zhou Guoqiang smiled and said to Fann Qinghua, who was standing at the side, "Don't just stand there. Hurry up and prepare some good food. We can't neglect such a distinguished guest."
"Alright."
Fann Qinghua was very happy.
However, she was different from Zhou Guoqiang. The way she looked at Huo Yun was as if she was looking at her future daughter-in-law.
Meanwhile, Zhou Heng was holding the generator and reconnected the surveillance equipment to the electricity.
What she was about to face was the ice age.
When that time came, humans would face a greater crisis.
He couldn't relax easily.
That night, Fann Qinghua made a lot of delicious food. Huo Yun kept looking at the food in front of her.
"These are all home-cooked dishes. Please forgive me."
Zhou Guoqiang handed his chopsticks to Huo Yun.
"Yeah, hurry up and try it."
Fann Qinghua agreed.
"You guys eat first." Although Huo Yun really wanted to eat these dishes, she had to maintain her basic etiquette.
Zhou Guoqiang was very happy.
"Alright, let's eat first."
Zhou Heng didn't have any misgivings. He picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
Zhou Heng originally thought that these dishes would be wasted, but who would have thought that Huo Yun had eaten a lot.
In the end, Huo Yun rubbed her stomach and revealed a happy expression.
Zhou Heng curled his lips and said, "You really are hungry."
Hearing that, Huo Yun revealed an awkward expression and said, "Auntie, the dishes you made are really too delicious. I can't control myself and won't eat anymore."
"It doesn't matter if she eats more."
Fann Qinghua grumbled at Zhou Heng, then she looked at Huo Yun.
"Are you full? If you're not, I'll go to the kitchen and help you make more."
"Auntie, there's no need. I'm already full."
Huo Yun said with a smile.
"If you're full, then help me with the work."
Zhou Heng placed the bowl on the table and stood up. "I still have a lot of things to do."
"Okay."
Huo Yun didn't dare to be careless. She hurriedly followed Zhou Heng out.
"Go and tidy up the circuits. You must complete all the surveillance systems tonight."
Zhou Heng instructed.
"Understood."
Huo Yun was filled with respect.
Huo Yun was very efficient.
In just an hour, she had completed all the circuits that were damaged.
She looked at the surveillance cameras one by one and lit up.
She revealed a bright smile.
"Now, we can observe the situation outside at any time."
"Don't be too happy too early."
Zhou Heng's expression was grim as he said indifferently, "This is just the beginning. The real challenge is still waiting."
The ice age would arrive in a few days.
Even if he had the impregnable shelter now.
Zhou Heng was not happy at all.
Seeing Zhou Heng's serious expression, Huo Yun did not say anything else.
That night, Huo Yun helped Zhou Heng with his work. After inspecting the warm equipment that she had brought back, she went to sleep.
There were still three days until the arrival of the ice age.
The temperature outside had already quietly dropped.
However, 99% of the people felt that this was a normal natural phenomenon and did not care.
On the contrary, many people felt that the strange bird had disappeared completely. They ran out from their hiding places to search for supplies.
In these short three days.
Zhou Heng and Huo Yun had already met many people who wanted to snatch the supplies or wanted to kill Huo Yun.
However, all of them were killed by Zhou Heng.
They all became survival points.
Seeing how adept Zhou Heng was at killing people, Huo Yun could not help but ask nervously, "Aren't you afraid of killing people?"
"Afraid? Why would I be afraid?"
Zhou Heng searched for the supplies on the corpses as he replied, "If you don't kill them, they will kill you instead."
"Then why did you take me in?"
Before Huo Yun could finish her words, Zhou Heng sneered and interrupted her. "I didn't take you in. You have value. But if you have any thoughts of violating the rules, I will kill you without hesitation."
Sensing the killing intent from Zhou Heng, Huo Yun didn't even dare to breathe.
Huo Yun didn't doubt Zhou Heng's words.
Zhou Heng would really kill her.
"Help me search these people for useful things," Zhou Heng said in a deep voice.
"I understand."
Huo Yun nodded her head. She was a little scared when she was searching the bodies for the first time, but later on, she became numb.
The bodies were too common.
After Zhou Heng finished packing the bodies, he looked at the time and said, "It's getting late. Let's go."
Zhou Heng took Huo Yun to the shelter.
"Wait here. I have something to do."
"I'll go with you."
Seeing that Huo Yun was about to follow him, Zhou Heng took out his pistol and pointed it at Huo Yun's head.
Zhou Heng said coldly, "I told you to stay here!"
"If you don't listen, I will shoot without hesitation!"
