Chapter 1144: 3 feet of ice is not as cold as 1 day

Gao Yue not only stayed at home all day complaining, but also showed no sympathy for Bai Yunxing's hardships.

Until one day, they were forced into a desperate situation. If they didn't find a way to find food, they would starve to death.

At this point, Gao Yue reluctantly stepped out of the room for the first time and went out with Bai Yunxing to look for supplies.

Finally, in an abandoned supermarket that had been ransacked countless times, they were pleasantly surprised to find a place that seemed to have food.

However, as joy turns to sorrow, there are several extremely ferocious zombies there.

As soon as the zombies smelled the breath of living people, they instantly became extremely manic, and pounced towards them with their fangs and claws bared and aggressive.

Bai Yunxing has experience fighting zombies, so he can easily deal with one or two zombies at the same time.

But this time, encountering four of them at the same time was a bit difficult.

He thought that Gao Yue could fight alongside him and work together with him.

Unexpectedly, when Gao Yue saw this situation, he immediately hid in the corner like a frightened bird, trembling all over and said:

"You go, you go and solve them."

Bai Yunxing couldn't help feeling sad, as he knew very well that Gao Yue was afraid of death and didn't care about his life or death at all.

But in order to survive, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and muster up the courage to rush towards the zombies.

In this fierce battle, Bai Yunxing was on the verge of life and death several times and almost died at the hands of zombies.

Fortunately, at the last critical moment, with the only bit of luck left, he found the zombie's fatal flaw, struck it hard, killed it, and managed to escape.

After returning to his temporary hiding place, Bai Yunxing could no longer suppress his inner anger and lost his temper at Gao Yue for the first time.

"Couldn't you have faced it with me back then? How could you be so selfish?" Bai Yunxing roared angrily, his voice hoarse with anger and fear, his eyes burning with rage.

"Hmph, if you were not so incompetent, how could we have lived such a miserable life!" Gao Yue responded sarcastically, with no guilt in her eyes, only accusations towards Bai Yunxing.

A violent and vicious quarrel broke out between the two men.

Although they have not parted ways yet, an unbridgeable rift has appeared in their relationship, which is far from the intimacy and harmony of the past.

In fact, with Bai Yunxing's ability and skills, if he were to seek survival on his own, it would not be a difficult thing at all. He could even live a much easier life than he is now.

However, Bai Yunxing always remembered in his heart every bit of experience he had shared with Gao Yue. Even though Gao Yue's actions after the end of the world made him heartbroken and angry, he still couldn't bear to abandon her.

So, Bai Yunxing continued to take care of Gao Yue as usual, giving her care and protection.

And perhaps it was after this quarrel that Gao Yue finally realized that he still needed to rely on Bai Yunxing in order to survive in this doomsday.

So, she temporarily put away her willfulness and arrogance and stopped acting recklessly.

The two of them struggled hard and tried hard to survive in this dark end times.

Finally, on the day when they were almost starved to death, they were found by official rescue workers and were finally rescued.

Bai Yunxing thought he would be able to live a good life once he arrived at the base.

But unexpectedly, this was just the beginning of his nightmare.

The first week after arriving at the base, the two of them had a pretty good time.

Although the living place was simple and the food was just dry food and porridge, at least there was free food and drink, and a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

However, after a one-week "newbie protection period", the authorities will no longer provide free assistance.

Everything depends on the survivors to support themselves.

Bai Yunxing and Gao Yue are both ordinary people and do not have special abilities.

In order to survive, Bai Yunxing struggled to get up before dawn every day and looked for work opportunities in the base like a headless fly.

His increasingly thin figure due to long-term malnutrition moved among the bustling crowd, his eyes burning with the desire and determination to survive.

Every step is so heavy, yet so decisive.

As for Gao Yue, he was idle all day long. Instead of thinking about how to make a living, he just complained about everything.

One day, Bai Yunxing finally found a job as a cargo carrier after going through so much hardship.

The cargo was as heavy as a mountain. Every time he moved one piece, it felt like a thousand pounds of force was pressing on his shoulders, making him feel exhausted.

Sweat poured out and soaked his tattered clothes. Beads of sweat as big as beans kept rolling down and one could hear the sound when they hit the ground.

His hands were covered with blisters from the constant friction, and he felt a piercing pain every time he touched the goods.

But in order to have a bite to fill his stomach, he clenched his teeth tightly, and even though his lips were bitten and bleeding, he refused to relax at all.

When he was almost exhausted, dragging his legs that seemed to be filled with lead and taking heavy steps back to his residence, he found that Gao Yue had eaten up all of his already pitiful amount of food.

"How could you do this? I was fighting for my life outside, but you..." Bai Yunxing was so angry that his whole body was shaking, and the words were stuck in his throat when they came to his lips.

His eyes were bloodshot and his voice was trembling with anger.

"Who made you so useless that you can't even get more food?" Gao Yue said coldly. There was no trace of guilt in her eyes, but instead they were full of disgust.

That gaze was like an icy sword, piercing straight into Bai Yunxing's already broken heart.

Not only that, in order to make his life a little bit better, Gao Yue even sold his soul and body.

She did everything she could in the base, using all her tricks to curry favor with men who had a little power and influence.

She had a flattering smile on her face, and her body was twisted and wiggled, showing her delicateness, completely disregarding Bai Yunxing's feelings.

In her heart, Bai Yunxing had long been a burden that could be discarded at any time.

Once, Bai Yunxing accidentally saw Gao Yue having an intimate conversation with a strange man in a corner.

The man's hand was placed on Gao Yue's waist in an inappropriate manner, but Gao Yue not only did not refuse, but she laughed so hard that she shook with laughter.

When Bai Yunxing saw this scene, he felt his heart sink into a bottomless abyss in an instant, and coldness and despair drowned him like a tide.

He stood there blankly, his eyes vacant, and all the past events flashed through his mind like slides.

The vows we made and the hardships we went through together all seem so pale and powerless at this moment.

Despite the extreme pain in his heart, he still tried to convince himself and chose to believe Gao Yue, thinking that it was just a misunderstanding.
