21: Aren't you afraid of being considered a stalker?

The two spoke at the same time, their differing tones and attitudes instantly making the atmosphere subtle.

Bai Wanning turned to look at the Agent, who hung his head, his face full of embarrassment.

Lei Qian pretended not to notice. He knew Bai Wanning must be angry after hearing him speak, so he suppressed his inner excitement and said in a gentle tone, "You've chosen correctly. Although it's a bit far from the city, the scenery is indeed good. There's also a small park downstairs, and you can even barbecue on the first floor."

Listening to the man's incessant chatter, Bai Wanning couldn't help but look at the Agent again.

Didn't he say this neighbor wasn't nosy and didn't talk much? This wasn't 'not talking much'; he was clearly talking too much!

The Agent, of course, understood Bai Wanning's look, but he had nothing to say.

He was so wronged! The last time he met Lei Qian, the man barely said a word, only nodding.

Who would have thought he was so talkative!?

Bai Wanning glanced at Lei Qian and said, "Mr. Lei, I'm a bit tired. Let's chat again another time if there's an opportunity."

She didn't want to get entangled with Lei Qian, and she had never held any expectations for him.

Having experienced the life-and-death struggle of the Apocalypse, Bai Wanning had long understood that having expectations for others would only make her die faster.

Therefore, she didn't care if her words would offend Lei Qian.

After speaking, she closed the door with a "bang" without hesitation.

Lei Qian looked at the closed door, a pang of pain in his heart.

Sure enough, he had been too much before, not only taking advantage of her but also saying those harsh words. It wasn't surprising that Bai Wanning was driving him away.

He turned to his assistant and asked, "Have you prepared the money I asked for earlier?" Since Bai Wanning didn't like him, he at least had to try to make amends. He didn't hope Bai Wanning would forgive him, but he had to take action.

The assistant's eyes widened, and he replied, "We've already arranged it. The money will be transferred to your account very soon."

Lei Qian nodded, signaling the assistant to act quickly. He had already hurt her too deeply; if he didn't offer compensation soon, who knew what Bai Wanning would think?

However, looking at the tightly closed door of the house not far away, Lei Qian felt a thrill of excitement. Bai Wanning would be his neighbor from now on?

... In the penthouse.

Bai Wanning walked back and forth in her newly purchased, unfamiliar house, holding a notebook and jotting down items as she went.

Although there were still two and a half months until the Apocalypse, Bai Wanning always felt that time was far from enough.

She had to prepare in advance for the disaster that would sweep the globe, and all of it had to start from home.

She quickly walked around the entire penthouse, noting down everything that needed to be replaced or substituted.

Bai Wanning had no attachment to this exquisite house; what she wanted was not elegant decor, but an Apocalypse safe haven that could withstand tsunamis and zombie hordes.

She went upstairs and noted down the items she wanted to add, including protective netting to cover the windows.

Although the house came with furniture, the mattress was too hard, and it wouldn't be comfortable for a pregnant woman.

She had to replace the mattress, sheets, air purifier, and all items in the penthouse that affected a pregnant woman's comfort.

Bai Wanning knew that her future self would be strong enough to protect her son, but she still wasn't willing to take the slightest risk.

Grrr!

A soft sound came, and Bai Wanning frowned, raising a hand to rub her stomach, then looked up at the clock on the wall.

Oh, oh,

It was already past lunchtime.

"Baby, I'm sorry," Bai Wanning whispered, looking down at her flat lower abdomen, "Mommy made you unhappy. Don't worry, I'll go make you something delicious right now."

She hadn't fully adapted to her current ordinary identity.

Once the Apocalypse plague erupted, disaster and humans turned into zombies would completely dominate this desperate world, followed by the mutation and awakening of humans.

Those mutated humans would possess supernatural abilities, such as controlling fire, water, or even light and electricity.

Some could transform into beasts, and some could even devour metal and transform their bodies into indestructible alloys.

Bai Wanning awakened her Water Ability at that time. Unlike ordinary people who needed three meals a day, she could sustain herself by just drinking a few drops of dew or condensed water.

If not for this ability, she would have died long ago at the hands of those greedy "companions."

Those people either snatched the food she brought back or simply ate all the rations she risked her life for.

It was also because of her extraordinary ability that she could remain safe even after not eating or drinking for several days.

Bai Wanning had long been accustomed to such a life, so much so that she hadn't even noticed that she hadn't eaten anything for a long time.

As soon as she rushed into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator, she found it empty.

The refrigerator was new and had never been used. When she opened it, a strong plastic smell assailed her, making her frown in disgust.

Bai Wanning was annoyed by her oversight. She casually closed the refrigerator door and turned to leave the house.

The most important thing now was to fill her stomach first.

She no longer wasted time, quickly left the penthouse, and took the elevator to a small restaurant not far from the house.

At the restaurant, Bai Wanning called a Waiter and ordered several dishes at once.

The Waiter was quite surprised to hear her order. Looking at her petite figure, he thought to himself, this woman would soon regret ordering so many dishes.

He couldn't help but remind her, "Miss, once the dishes are made, you can't return them if you don't finish them!"

Their restaurant was small, with simple equipment and not many Waiter/Waitresses.

"You don't have to worry," Bai Wanning, who hadn't eaten such delicious food in a long time, smiled and said to the Waiter, "Since I've ordered these, I'll naturally eat them all."

Since she said so, the Waiter had no choice but to turn and prepare the dishes... "What are you doing?"

Lu Yu knew Lei Qian would go crazy whenever Bai Wanning was mentioned, but he clearly didn't expect Lei Qian to actually tell him to stop the car and walk directly into this small restaurant where Bai Wanning had just ordered her meal.

Was he not afraid of being taken for a stalker? Seeing Lei Qian's confident stride, Lu Yu was sure that the man didn't care about this at all.
