I snagged a bargain in a melodramatic novel and became incredibly wealthy!

Chapter 126 Food

Wei Yan put away the few expired snacks and other edible items she found in a cabinet.

Then, preparing to go back, he found the right direction, jumped without hesitation, grabbed the top edge of the window tightly with both hands, and used his strong arms to throw himself up.

Caiyi was watching closely from above. When she saw Wei Yan come up, she quickly reached out and caught him steadily, preventing him from falling to the ground and making too much noise.

After Wei Yan regained her footing, Cai Yi released him, then shook his hand and muttered under his breath, "That was really heavy!"

She couldn't help but wonder when she could get her body back.

Thinking of this, Caiyi couldn't help but look at Cheng Xin, her eyes filled with longing.

Cheng Xin's features were very delicate, and she didn't notice Cai Yi's gaze because she was already annoyed to death by Baili Tu beside her.

Cheng Xin said somewhat angrily, "I told you I'm not Cheng Xin, I'm Cai Yi."

Baili Tu shook his head and said, "Your demeanor, actions, and behavior are exactly the same as Cheng Xin's."

Upon hearing these words, Cheng Xin felt a pang of sorrow in her heart, and her eyes welled up with tears.

Sometimes she really found it ridiculous that Baili Tu could recognize her at a glance, even though he didn't love her.

You could say he loved her, but he always humiliated her and constantly tested her true feelings.

But people's hearts are made of flesh and blood; how can they be constantly tested?

Cheng Xin's brows and eyes revealed obvious irritation, and then she closed her lips tightly and stopped speaking.

Wei Yan used a hemp rope to lead the person down.

Caiyi went down there himself, bringing people with him, and now she can't help him anymore.

Taking someone along is too difficult for her; not only can her safety not be guaranteed, but it could also lead to the death of that person and her.

She was already struggling to get to the next floor by herself.

As Li Yue slid down with Wei Yan, she trembled with fear and couldn't help but cry out in alarm.

However, she quickly covered her mouth the next second.

But it was too late. Caiyi and Weiyan exchanged a glance and decisively pushed a cabinet each to block the broken window, since it was the only broken window on this floor.

Cheng Xin also pushed a cabinet and was surprised to find that she was actually quite strong.

At this moment, Baili Tu pushed her from behind, leaving her speechless.

Cheng Xin: "..."

Why push her back when the cabinet is so huge?

This is the first time I've realized that Baili Tu is also an idiot!

At the same time, Zhang Ye was also trying to push the cabinet, while the others huddled to the side, trembling incessantly.

After the cabinet successfully blocked the gap in the window, Wei Yan quickly directed the others to find a suitable hiding place.

Just as I finished hiding, a chilling scraping sound came from outside the window. The sound seemed to penetrate straight into one's heart, making one's teeth ache.

Just then, the once bright sky suddenly turned pitch black, with not a single ray of light visible.

A bead of sweat dripped from Wei Yan's stern forehead. According to common sense, it should be eight o'clock in the morning. He had looked at the sky and judged the time beforehand, and it was impossible for it to get dark so quickly.

The only explanation is that the number of infected creatures gathered on the window was so astonishing that it completely blocked out the light.

Wei Yan decided to try to rouse the large bee that was hovering outside the window to check the situation, but in the next second, before the bee could even take flight, it was attacked by an unidentified object, and the screen instantly went black.

Wei Yan was not too surprised by this, after all, it was just a trial operation.

He then shared the view of the other giant bees again, but this time he chose to keep them still. Through the giant bees' perspective, they could clearly see countless deformed, emaciated, humanoid infected creatures clinging tightly to the glass windows of their floor, moving about in layers, their sheer number astonishing.

Without much hesitation, Wei Yan ordered the large bees clinging to the upper glass windows to self-destruct, the noise attracting away most of the infected creatures.

The group hid there until nightfall.

Li Yue cried out, her voice trembling with tears, "What a terrible game! Why did they choose me?!"

"I am the heiress of the Li Group..."

However, Caiyi ignored Li Yue, who was crying but dared not speak loudly.

If Li Huai were even slightly clear-headed, he would understand that nighttime is more dangerous than daytime.

At night, Cheng Xin wanted to go to the restroom, but Baili Tu stopped her.

He firmly disagreed with Cheng Xin using the restroom in this office building because there were men there.

Cheng Xin naturally couldn't be so stubborn as to go to the toilet outside the gate, and the two remained at an impasse.

Wei Yan quietly approached Baili Tu and suddenly struck, knocking him to the ground with a chop to the neck.

Baili Tu instantly lost consciousness.

Wei Yan carefully laid him down in a secluded spot and hid him.

It is worth mentioning that the glasses worn by Baili Tu have night vision capabilities, allowing him to notice their every move in advance.

Others had difficulty falling asleep due to tension and fear, and were restless all night.

Everyone was exhausted in the early morning.

Ren Tangyi is feeding the baby. Fortunately, the baby is still an infant and can be fed without having to find food.

Otherwise, they might have to search for food to fill their stomachs.

After a long night, everyone was hungry and craving food.

The game's mission was announced on the day they all arrived: survive in City A for thirty days, and the reward would be a gene enhancement fluid.

Wei Yan hurriedly stopped Zhang Ye, who was about to rush over, and then took out the food she had hidden yesterday from the corner and distributed it equally to everyone.

However, the food was so meager that it was barely enough for each person to have a bite.

Those snacks were expired, tasted terrible, and were practically inedible.

After taking a small bite, Li Yue immediately vomited.

She subconsciously threw the snacks in her hand onto the ground.

Before Li Huai could even stop her, he saw that the food was stained with black, dried blood from the ground.

For the first time, he gently scolded, "Sister, look at this place, there's absolutely no food to be found."

"If you don't eat now, do you want to starve to death?"

Hearing her brother's reprimand, Li Yue cried out in grievance, "Brother, why are you so mean to me!"

Cai Yi glared at Li Yue, who quickly shrank back and hid behind Li Huai, not daring to utter a sound.

Baili Tu noticed that Cheng Xin seemed completely unaffected, eating without changing her expression.

In the end, he forced himself to swallow the food.

After all, there are still 29 long days ahead. How can one possibly persevere if they don't eat anything?
