In the cramped room, the two were speechless at the moment.

At this time, Li Mu Chuan finally had a chance to examine the woman opposite him.

It was a pity that her face was covered in a lot of soot. Her face shape was somewhat oval, but Li Mu Chuan couldn't tell what her specific appearance was like.

Her face was genuinely dirty, not the kind that was deliberately smudged in movies where you could still see the beauty underneath.

"In your base, is there no water?"

Seeing this, Li Mu Chuan's heart stirred slightly, and he couldn't help but ask.

Coming out looking so disheveled, surely she, as a commander, wouldn't be like this?

"Water resources are scarce now, where would there be water to wash faces and bathe? But you..."

Li Qingxiao understood Li Mu Chuan's meaning. She was about to say that water was very precious, but seeing Li Mu Chuan's clean appearance at this moment, her heart immediately felt blocked.

"Where have you been living? You still have the nerve to wash your face and bathe? Looking at you, I'm afraid you haven't missed a meal, have you!"

Looking at Li Mu Chuan, she genuinely didn't feel that he had gone hungry at all.

His clothes were clean, and his neck below was white. It couldn't be as simple as just washing his face with water.

Water resources in many places were already polluted.

To talk about such a luxurious bath, how could it be possible?

Li Mu Chuan's appearance made her feel that his life before must have been very comfortable.

Li Mu Chuan's heart skipped a beat as he listened. The other person was like a refugee, and compared to her, he was indeed overly clean.

This was one of the places where Li Mu Chuan was somewhat out of place with the people of this world.

However, listening to her previous narration, this Li Qingxiao didn't seem like a bad person.

"I had stored some food before and managed until now. It's just that I ran out of things to eat and had no choice but to come out to find food."

Li Mu Chuan explained casually.

Listening to this explanation, Li Qingxiao thought about it and it seemed there was no other more reasonable explanation.

There were many people like Li Mu Chuan before.

However, most of them didn't store as much food as Li Mu Chuan.

"If bitten by a zombie, how long does it take to turn into a zombie?"

Li Mu Chuan took the opportunity to inquire about information.

"It depends on the individual. Most people will turn into zombies a few minutes after being bitten. Some people will have a period of incubation, but basically not more than a day."

Li Qingxiao was quite clear about this.

Seeing this, Li Mu Chuan quickly inquired about more information.

There was a lot of food in the city, but it had been scavenged many times before.

When Li Mu Chuan saw zombies gathered at the intersections before, it was because they were attracted there when people were searching for food.

This is also why the convenience stores and other places Li Mu Chuan searched were completely ransacked.

By now, a barrel of clean purified water is an extremely precious resource.

Speaking of this, Li Mu Chuan couldn't help but lick his somewhat dry lips.

With that reminder, Li Mu Chuan finally felt how parched he was.

If this continued, Li Mu Chuan felt he would die of thirst first.

Fortunately, the weather wasn't scorching hot, otherwise, in just these few days, Li Mu Chuan's moisture would have been lost even faster.

No, I really need to go out and find food tomorrow.

Thinking this, Li Mu Chuan gritted his teeth, determined to go out and get something to eat tomorrow.

Get something to drink and eat.

After making up his mind, Li Mu Chuan tidied up a spot nearby and lay down to sleep.

Li Qingxiao sat beside him, watching Li Mu Chuan for a long time. Seeing that Li Mu Chuan was completely asleep, she finally relaxed and curled up in the corner to sleep.

Accompanied by the roars from outside, the room was silent.

Perhaps because there was someone nearby, Li Mu Chuan slept even more soundly this time. Last night, he had specifically locked the door.

Logically, there was no need to worry about zombies breaking in.

When Li Qingxiao cleaned her wound, Li Mu Chuan also took a look.

Her wound was indeed not a bite, so there was no need to worry about her turning into a zombie.

When Li Mu Chuan woke up, he still heard movement around him.

Subconsciously reaching for the steel bar beside him, Li Mu Chuan opened his eyes to look.

It was Li Qingxiao, dragging her body, preparing to enter the small laboratory she had made.

"Did I wake you?"

Hearing the movement, Li Qingxiao turned around and saw Li Mu Chuan's wary look, immediately realizing she had woken him up.

Li Mu Chuan nodded at her.

"If I stay here like this, I'll starve to death sooner or later. I need to go out and find supplies."

Li Mu Chuan glanced at Li Qingxiao and said.

Li Qingxiao's body stiffened slightly upon hearing this, then she slowly nodded.

Seeing this, Li Mu Chuan didn't waste any more words. He tidied up, opened the door, and quietly slipped out.

Li Qingxiao closed the door and watched from the window as Li Mu Chuan disappeared, then turned back to her workbench to continue working.

Without food or drink, she wouldn't last long.

During this time, she had to make the most of every moment and try her best to develop the serum.

As long as the serum was developed, her death would be worth it.

Li Mu Chuan walked bent over on the street, his eyes fixed on his surroundings.

His palms were sweating at this moment. Li Mu Chuan wiped the sweat from his hands and continued to walk forward, still bent over.

A moment later, Li Mu Chuan's eyes lit up slightly. A small supermarket appeared ahead.

Although he had seen many supermarkets that had been completely cleared out, Li Mu Chuan had never been here before, so he held a little hope in his heart.

Li Mu Chuan cautiously took a step forward and looked into the supermarket through the glass.

But after just one look, Li Mu Chuan was immediately greatly disappointed.

On the shelves inside the supermarket, the places where food should have been were empty. He looked carefully at the ground for a few moments, but saw no food left behind.

Li Mu Chuan thought for a moment, then moved closer and stood at the entrance to look.

On the cashier counter by the door, a large patch of blood remained, now dried.

Li Mu Chuan looked at it for a few moments, then looked at the ground again and again, but still couldn't see any food.

Did these guys clear out all the supermarkets?

Li Mu Chuan suddenly felt a bit regretful. If he had known this, he should have asked Li Qingxiao more when he left earlier. At the very least, he should have known where her people had searched.

That way, he could have avoided the routes they had already cleared.

After confirming that there was no food in this supermarket, Li Mu Chuan turned and left.

Li Mu Chuan continued to search forward. After walking for more than ten minutes, another supermarket appeared before him.

Li Mu Chuan was a little nervous. He had searched so many convenience stores and supermarkets, and they had all been completely cleared out by others.

If this place didn't have anything either, Li Mu Chuan would have to consider going further afield to find food.

Li Mu Chuan quietly approached, then his eyes narrowed slightly. Through the glass, Li Mu Chuan could see signs that the shelves inside had been looted.

But what made Li Mu Chuan's heart leap with joy was that there were still many food packaging bags left on the ground.
