Yunfeng gazed at his phone with a small pout. It had been two days, and that annoying guy had surprisingly stopped texting him. "Is he sick again? Why isn't he texting me?" He picked up his phone, ready to text him.
But slowly, he put it down with a sigh. "I don't want to disturb him. But… what if he's hospitalized again?"
His heart clenched in pain just thinking about him being sick.
With a frown, he patted his chest. "This alpha-omega thing is super annoying." Quitting the chat, he went to Baidu and searched Muchen's name.
There was no new news about him or his health.
Sighing, he laid down on the bed. "Fine, I'll ask him myself."
He picked up his phone from the bedside table and typed hurriedly. But as he was about to send it, he paused. He cleared the text and sent, "I have made good use of your money." He then sent an itemized bill of his purchases.
Biting his lips, he held the phone close to his face, waiting for a reply.
But it didn't come.
"Ugh, why is he taking so long?" He tossed the phone aside and laid there, rolled up like a cocoon. "Yunfeng, you can't waste time thinking about him. Now time is of the essence. You must use it well," he mumbled to himself and sat up.
The food problem had been solved. Now, he had to look for a good house. The house they lived in was too small, and it was also in a very congested area.
When the disease broke out, congested areas like this were completely surrounded by the infected, and it was very hard to survive.
It was best to move to the outskirts, likely close to the army or airforce base. Then timely help would arrive.
Yunfeng racked his brain, remembering the history books he had read in the past. "Fuck, why was I so disinterested in history? I literally had a golden finger, but because of my laziness, I lost that chance."
The only thing he could remember about the pandemic was that almost a quarter of the human population was killed in the first attack. The second attack came six months after that. Other countries tried to control the spread of the disease by destroying the highly infected countries.
Yunfeng paled. "They bombed our city! Fuck! So we have to move to another city now. God, why is this so difficult?" He scratched his head.
The only cities that were spared from the bombing were City Z and City S.
"Fine, but how am I going to convince my mom to move? She is not ready to believe in the pandemic…" He picked up his phone, and once again, the chat interface was silent.
Grunting, he pulled up Jai's chat. "Jai, I want to move to City S."
The reply came instantly. "Why? It's too far."
"That's why."
Jai sent a cat emoji, followed by a voice message. "You don't have to be so scared of my father. He is not going to eat you. So don't worry. You don't have to move to another city or anything."
Yunfeng rolled his eyes. "That's not why. This world is going to end in a few months. Only by moving to City S can I survive the bombing."
Jai's reply to this was a call. "Did you lose a nut?"
"No, I'm being serious. Our world is going to be infected by a deadly disease. And our city is the first to be infected. The other countries will try to control it by bombing us. It's impossible to survive here. The only cities I remember surviving are City S and City X. City X is too far, and I won't have the cash to move all the food to that country, so City S is my only option. Jai, you have to move as well."
Jai, on the other side of the phone, remained silent.
"Hello? Can you hear me?"
"Hmm… I can hear an idiot mumbling," Jai said in a soft whisper.
"I'm not an idiot! Why won't anyone believe me? This world is going to end. Why else do you think I ordered so much food?" Sighing, he punched the pillow beside him.
In the danmei books he had read, all the heroes would eventually reveal the truth of the end of the world to their family and friends, and they would all readily believe him. "Life is not a novel," he sighed bitterly. "Fine, don't believe me."
Instead, he was already hatching a plan on how to move his family and friends to City S right as the pandemic hit. That way, the borders would be closed, and they would be stuck in City S.
"Maybe I can take them on a trip to City S. Hmmm, that will work. But it's a huge risk."
But that was the idea he could come up with now.
With that in mind, he hurriedly arranged a warehouse in City S and a shipping method to move his food from Jai's house to that warehouse.
All the cash that Muchen threw at him really worked wonders.
Once again, he was left thinking about his proud little face.
"God, it's like he has corroded my mind with his face… It's hard not to think about him..."
