The night in Shangjiang City is as prosperous and lively as ever.
Even though night has fallen for a long time, the city is still lit with colorful neon lights and there is a constant stream of vehicles on the road.
These days were the best days Lu Yuan had slept in a long time.
He was alone in the apocalypse, and he dared not fall asleep at night. He would be awakened by the slightest movement.
There was no other way around it. He was alone and helpless, so he could only be doubly vigilant in order to survive in this dangerous doomsday.
He also didn't dare to form a team with others casually, because people's hearts are hidden, and it would be bad if he met someone with evil intentions.
But during this period, Lu Yuan could take a comfortable hot bath every day and then sleep soundly on the soft big bed until dawn.
This kind of sleep quality is simply a luxury in the end times.
But today, it was already around eleven o'clock in the evening, and Lu Yuan felt a little unable to sleep.
He opened the curtains and looked at the sleepless city. Lu Yuan knew that for people with a rich nightlife, the night had just begun.
When night falls, this bustling city is filled with all kinds of indescribable temptations...
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan felt his mouth dry, his heart extremely hungry, and his heart was beating wildly.
"No, I have to go out."
Lu Yuan decisively put on his clothes, took his wallet and went out.
Then Lu Yuan came to a food street not far from his home.
The whole street was filled with the tempting aroma of food, which made Lu Yuan envious.
He found a random barbecue restaurant, sat down, and ordered a lot of barbecue and a few bottles of beer.
The waiter looked at Lu Yuan in surprise.
"Are you alone, sir?"
Lu Yuan ordered a lot of skewers by himself, and most of them were meat skewers.
But Lu Yuan looked thin and didn't seem like the type of person who had a big appetite. The waiter was a little worried that he wouldn't be able to finish his meal and there would be trouble when it came time to pay the bill.
"It's okay, go ahead and eat. If you can't finish it, I'll pack it up and take it away."
The waiter nodded and went to the kitchen with the order.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, the waiter brought the grilled skewers to Lu Yuan's table on a tray.
Lu Yuan was already drooling with greed, so he picked up the skewers and started to wolf them down.
Ever since using the genetic medicine, Lu Yuan felt that his appetite had increased a lot.
Perhaps it's because as this body becomes stronger, it consumes more energy.
Lu Yuan was eating happily when suddenly, the sound of a beer bottle breaking caught his attention.
The sound came from a table of guests on the other side of the barbecue restaurant.
Lu Yuan turned his head and saw that the guests at that table were several drunk men, all of whom looked to be in their twenties.
A man with a red face, holding a broken beer bottle in his hand, pointed at a waitress who looked very young and cursed:
"Fuck you, what are you talking about? So many people are watching. Who the hell touched you? Are you accusing a good person?"
Several other men also looked at the waitress unkindly.
"Little girl, why do you like to talk nonsense at such a young age?"
"Call your boss, quickly."
The waitress was frightened by these tall and strong men.
She was just a college student who came here to work part-time during the summer vacation. She had never seen such a scene before.
Surrounded by several drunken men, the girl felt wronged and scared. She couldn't control her emotions for a moment and tears flowed down her face.
At this time, a woman wearing an apron and looking to be in her early twenties walked out from the front desk.
"What's going on? Brothers."
When the girl saw the woman, she hid behind her as if she had seen a savior.
The girl said to the woman in a small and aggrieved voice:
"Boss lady, he touched me."
As soon as she finished speaking, the man holding the beer bottle cursed loudly:
"Who the hell touched you? Don't say anything!"
He was holding a beer bottle and looked a little excited.
The proprietress looked at the burly men in front of her and looked a little embarrassed.
"I'm really sorry to all of you, my dear guests. How about this, I'll give you a free meal. Is that ok with that?"
Obviously, the proprietress just wanted to keep things quiet and didn't want to cause any more trouble.
Several men looked up and down at the young and beautiful proprietress, not hiding their obscene looks at all.
The proprietress has a petite figure and delicate features.
The man holding the beer bottle said:
"That won't work. I didn't touch her, but she insisted that I did. Don't you think I'm at a disadvantage?"
Others echoed:
"That's right. She has no evidence and she just accused our big brother of molesting her for no reason. If this gets out, how can our big brother survive in this street?"
The man called Big Brother said:
"How about this, I don't need the free meal, I don't need this little money."
The man stared at the proprietress with a lewd look and said:
"Since she insists on saying that I touched her, then at worst I will really touch her, and we'll be even."
The man took a step forward and looked at the proprietress with an obscene smile.
"Or, you can just let me touch you..."
The proprietress was so frightened that her face turned pale and she took several steps back.
"What are you going to do? Believe it or not, I'm calling the police."
Lu Yuan, who was watching from the side, roughly understood what was going on when he saw this.
He shook his head, scanned the code with his mobile phone to pay the bill, and prepared to leave.
Although Lu Yuan knew that as long as he took action, these thugs would not be enough for him to defeat.
But after living in the apocalypse for many years, the habit of minding one's own business has been deeply engraved in Lu Yuan's bones.
All his kindness and compassion had been worn away by years of life in the apocalypse.
As long as it is not his own trouble, Lu Yuan will never help even if it is just a piece of cake.
Lu Yuan still remembered one of his former companions who, in an attempt to help a seemingly harmless little girl, was led into an ambush by her and was captured by a group of mobs and dismembered as food.
One of the rules for survival in the end times: Mind your own business and don't be kind.
This is the lesson that Lu Yuan's companions learned at the cost of their lives.
In fact, it was not just Lu Yuan. Other diners in the barbecue restaurant also stood up and left after seeing this scene.
Those who are a little more particular will pay the money before leaving, while those who are not so particular will just run away without even paying.
Lu Yuan was about to leave when he heard a very familiar voice.
"Wife, Xiaoqian, what's going on?"
Lu Yuan looked back and saw a man wearing a chef's uniform. He was a little fat, with a round head and a round face, and his skin was whiter than the woman's.
"Abin?"
Lu Yuan was suddenly shocked. He was very familiar with this man's face and voice. This man was his last teammate in his previous life - Li Bin.
But Lu Yuan never expected that he would meet him here.
