Liu Yuqing pushed up her glasses.

"I just used [Appraisal] to check... Yu Shishi's current condition!"

"She has a mark called [Scarecrow's Gaze] on her!"

Liu Yuqing took a deep breath and explained, "This is a double-edged sword of a curse."

"If she enters a certain area, this mark becomes a living target, and monsters will automatically lock onto her and attack."

"But..."

Liu Yuqing pointed to the mutated crows circling in the distance outside the car window, afraid to approach.

"If it were somewhere else, this mark would actually be a 'Superior's Aura'."

"For these low-level crows..."

"She's like a moving warning sign."

"That's why she could survive in the woods, and even run all the way here!"

After hearing the explanation, everyone inside the car was stunned.

This luck... should it be called good or bad?

"Then... is Shishi still human?"

Chen Tong was the most worried about this.

Liu Yuqing glanced at the panel again and nodded.

"Don't worry, Teacher, the race still shows [Human]."

"She's just been marked as a ration."

Confirming she was human, Chen Tong visibly relaxed.

She wasn't afraid of anything else, only of seeing students fight each other, or former students turn into monsters.

Everyone's gaze once again converged on the man sitting in the boss chair.

"Boss, what do we do?" Wang Meng asked.

Jiangnan sat on the leather sofa, not even lifting his eyelids.

He picked up the memo pad beside him and, with a swish swish, wrote a line of text and showed it to everyone:

[Don't mind her, ignore her.]

[Drive, just go.]

He wasn't some Shelter Director, nor was he a Horny Teddy Bear driven by lust.

Someone who had abandoned the team before, what reason would he have to take her in?

Was it because she could eat?

Was it because she could cry?

Seeing Jiangnan's decision, Wang Meng immediately understood.

He opened the side window of the Cockpit, Peeking Head out, and roared at Yu Shishi, who was still frantically banging on the door below.

"Get lost! Don't block the way!"

"If you don't move, I'll run you over!"

Yu Shishi, who was crying her eyes out below the vehicle, suddenly heard the familiar booming voice and was stunned.

She wiped the mud from her face and looked at the plump face in the window in disbelief.

"Wang... Wang Meng?!"

She had thought this was another Survivor's Convoy, but she hadn't expected it to be people from the Bus before!

But...

How did this Bus become like this?

So luxurious?

So imposing?

After the shock came elation!

Since they were acquaintances, it would be easier to talk!

"Wang Meng! It's me! It's Shishi!"

Yu Shishi shouted excitedly, "Open the door quickly and let me on! It's too terrifying outside! Please!"

"Scram!"

Wang Meng interrupted her mercilessly, "Who's your acquaintance? Don't try to claim kinship!"

"We are Classmates, but we are not your Dad! This is the Apocalypse, we have no obligation to take care of you!"

"When you abandoned us last night to run off with Bai Lianhua, why didn't you think about us being classmates?"

Wang Meng's words struck Yu Shishi, turning her face deathly pale.

Right...

Last night was her own choice.

"But... but I was wrong..."

Yu Shishi cried even harder, her heart filled with regret.

"It's all Bai Lianhua's fault! She tricked me! I really know I was wrong!"

Suddenly, she realized.

Wang Meng said "us"...

Which meant he wasn't the only one on the carriage.

The one in charge of this carriage...

Could only be that Man!

Yuqing's judgment was true...

"Where's Yuqing? I want to see Yuqing!"

Yu Shishi cried out towards the car window:

"Yuqing must be on the carriage, right? I'm her best friend! Please, let me see her!"

"Yuqing was right, I shouldn't have left... I want to go home... I want to find Yuqing..."

Inside the Carriage.

Jiangnan watched this scene with cold eyes through the Holographic Surveillance.

Just as he was about to open the window and kill this annoying person, he suddenly remembered...

This Yu Shishi seemed to be Liu Yuqing's friend?

He turned his head and looked at Liu Yuqing, who was standing by his side.

He could see a hint of reluctance in her expression.

It was time to win people over.

He picked up a pen and wrote a few notes.

[This person, I'll leave the decision to you.]

[This isn't a test, but my tolerance for my subordinates.]

[But I only want useful people, not ignorant trash.]

After writing, he handed the note to Liu Yuqing.

Liu Yuqing took the note, and a warm current surged in her heart.

Boss... actually asking for her opinion?

In this dictatorial apocalypse convoy, this respect was too precious.

"Thank you, Boss!"

Liu Yuqing took a deep breath and nodded solemnly.

Actually, her feelings for Yu Shishi were complicated.

From high school to university, the two had been inseparable best friends.

Liu Yuqing came from a single-parent family, poor and impoverished, but her grades were excellent.

Yu Shishi's family were well-known local wealthy merchants, but she wasn't very bright and her studies were a mess.

Back then, Liu Yuqing was almost sold to the mafia by her gambling addict father to pay off debts.

It was Yu Shishi who cried and begged her father to intervene, and even sent bodyguards to break one of that gambling addict's legs.

Only then was Liu Yuqing rescued and funded to finish high school.

Although Yu Shishi was sometimes very stupid, had a young lady temper, and even abandoned her last night to follow the crowd.

But Liu Yuqing knew that this silly girl wasn't bad at heart.

She was just stupid to the point of being heartbreaking.

"Hoo..."

Liu Yuqing sighed, understanding the step down Jiangnan had given her.

As long as Yu Shishi had value, she could stay.

She bowed to Jiangnan, then pressed the car door switch and walked down.

Outside the car.

Seeing Liu Yuqing appear, Yu Shishi immediately pounced, tightly hugging Liu Yuqing's thigh.

"Yuqing! Wuwuwu! You're finally out!"

"You scared me to death! Those crows were staring at me all night! I thought I'd never see you again!"

Liu Yuqing looked at the former campus belle in front of her, covered in dirt, barefoot and bleeding, and felt a mix of emotions.

It was like looking at her helpless self from the past.

Instead of comforting her, she sternly pushed Yu Shishi away and grabbed her shoulders:

"Stop crying! Listen to me!"

"Shishi, I'll only ask you one question, and it depends on whether you can get on the car."

Liu Yuqing stared into her eyes: "Did you eat that Awakening Fruit? Did you awaken a Supernatural Ability?"

Yu Shishi froze, sobbing, and said:

"Wh...what Supernatural Ability?"

"The fruit... I ate it. I was too hungry at the time, so I just swallowed it. I didn't pay attention..."

Liu Yuqing: "..."

Finished.

This girl is indeed stupid.

Such a big thing as awakening, and she didn't notice because she was too hungry?

"Don't move! Let me see!"

Liu Yuqing didn't waste any more words and activated [Appraisal] again.

A blue light swept over Yu Shishi's body.

[Name]: Yu Shishi

[Race]: Human

[Physical Stats]: F-class (Weak)

[Status]: Mental Confusion, Scarecrow's Gaze

[Aptitude]: F-class

[Supernatural Ability]:

Cleanliness (F-class): Can instantly remove dirt from the surface of a target.

Seeing the last line of text, Liu Yuqing let out a long sigh of relief.

"Phew... thankfully, even though it's an F-class Utility-type Ability, it's still an ability."

As long as she had an ability, she wouldn't be complete trash.

"Get up! Get on the bus with me!"

Liu Yuqing pulled Yu Shishi up.

"When we meet the Boss later, do whatever he tells you to do. Don't you dare throw a Young Lady Temper, understand?!"

"I understand, I understand! I'll listen to you!" Yu Shishi didn't dare to have any temper now, acting as meek as a quail.

The two got on the bus.

As soon as Yu Shishi entered the carriage, she was stunned by the luxurious decoration, even forgetting to cry.

This... was this still that broken bus?

Outside was Hell, but this place was simply Heaven!

Jiangnan was still sitting on the sofa, with Chen Tong on his lap.

Liu Yuqing pulled the uneasy Yu Shishi to Jiangnan and reported cautiously.

"Boss, she has awakened."

"Although she's only F-class, her ability is... [Cleanliness]."

Jiangnan raised an eyebrow, showing a troubled expression of "That's it?".

Liu Yuqing quickly explained, "Boss, although her Combat Power isn't good!"

"But from now on, the hygiene in the bus, and chores like washing clothes and shoes, can be handed over to her!"

"We can also save some effort!"

Jiangnan pondered for a moment, seemingly weighing the pros and cons.

Finally, he reluctantly nodded.

Having an extra free Nanny wasn't bad.

However...

He had to set some rules first.

Jiang Nan pointed to his own pair of dirty leather shoes.

Then, he pointed to Yu Shishi again.

The meaning was obvious: "Clean my leather shoes for me!"

Liu Yuqing saw this and quickly nudged Yu Shishi, who was still in a daze, "Quick! Show us your ability!"

"Oh... Oh!"

Yu Shishi snapped back to reality and quickly stepped forward.

Teacher Chen Tong blinked from the side, hinting that Jiang Nan's hand was on her leg.

At this, Yu Shishi's face immediately turned as red as a bubble teapot, and her imagination ran wild.

This... this fast!

I never thought Jiang Nan, who usually seems so quiet, would be such a wild demon in private!

You really can't judge a book by its cover!

Teacher Chen Tong must have already suffered his wicked claws and fallen into depravity like the heroines in Gegelimu Li.

That's why she's like this!

Yu Shishi suddenly felt like she understood!

Due to the angle, she mistook Jiang Nan's gesture towards his leather shoes as a gesture towards his pants, and even imagined the sound.

"Just relax! You wooden post!"

Yu Shishi's expression became even more flushed.

It's like this in Gegelimu Li, the yellow-haired guy threatens the heroine, then triggers a special scene CG!

Cleaning is just an excuse, he must want me to do that kind of thing!

But now, in order to stay in this warm heaven...

Without any hesitation, she knelt before Jiang Nan with a "plop."

"I... I'll do it now!"

Yu Shishi extended her hands.

Jiang Nan, however, was a little impatient.

It's just cleaning leather shoes, why is she so slow? What a stupid...

Before he could finish speaking his mind, he suddenly felt a chill in his legs.

His boxer briefs, the same style as Patrick Star's, were exposed.

Jiangnan's eyes widened as he looked at his pants, which had been pulled down. "What is this guy doing?"

Chen Tong covered her eyes. "That's not what I meant!"

Liu Yuqing's mouth dropped open. "Huh? The silly girl is finally getting it?"

As for Jiangnan, seeing the strange looks from those around him, he quickly yanked his pants back up.

He didn't have a fetish for being gawked at!

He then angrily grabbed a memo pad, his pen tip almost piercing the paper, and held it up in front of Yu Shishi.

[WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!!]
