Chapter 569: Chapter 568: My Legs Go Weak When I See You

Cheng Zhirang didn’t know they had become so well-off that they were picky about this bread that’s too dry to swallow.

So he was quite pleased to accept it, then extended his other hand.

Mu Qiu: "??? What now?"

Cheng Zhirang helpfully explained: "Our team has two people. This is so he won’t compete with you for protection money for this hour."

"... Greedy merchant raising prices on the spot."

She sadly handed over the recently hidden Lao Gan Ma. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Is this enough now?"

He weighed the bottle of Lao Gan Ma, satisfied: "Yes, it’s enough."

Then he extended his hand to her once more.

Mu Qiu immediately leaned back technically, speaking harshly: "Again?! Even greedy merchants know when to stop; you better be careful, or the grass you cut won’t grow back!"

Cheng Zhirang pretended to be innocent: "I just wanted to help you up, the ground is quite cold."

"...No thanks, can you leave first? Seeing you makes my legs weak."

He paused for a moment.

Zhao Yu coughed, and Mu Qiu realized what she’d just said. Seeing the circle of cameras around her, she was silent for two seconds and added a clarification.

"I mean, psychologically feeling pressured affects your nervous transmission, making it hard to control your leg muscles."

Zhao Yu couldn’t bear to look anymore.

Might as well not have explained, coming up with such a serious nonsense.

The livestream chatters predictably exploded.

[I went out to check, I really haven’t subscribed, is this really something I can watch?]

[No, I haven’t even reacted yet]

[Hahahahaha we get it, your nightlife is harmonious, no need to emphasize]

[Thus deducing that Brother Cheng is still in his prime]

[What are you talking about? Covering my ears, I can’t understand]

[Just a nap, and it’s already reached such an exciting point??]

[Orange juice has released the upper clear liquid]

[Girlfriend fans are being publicly punished, does he no longer need girlfriend fans?]

[This agitated orange juice repeats, Cheng Zhirang won’t become a monk because of fan demands, he has his own life, understand?]

[The little person in my head is already riding a roller coaster]

[Mu Qiu, are you sure your pants won’t fall off with so many things stuffed in there?]

[The chicken feet are in a big bag, it can’t fit, you should give this to Brother Huai!]

[Mu Qiu and Zhao Yu, now that’s hoarding supplies for the apocalypse, what’s the other team doing, improving their living conditions?]

[Shu Ran is still looking for mild-scented wet wipes...]

[Brother Huai hahahahahaha]

[Brother Huai: Trust me, I have experience, under normal circumstances female guests are women, in urgent situations they are not human]

[Definitely a perverted doctor! Brother Huai!]

[After Chen Yi said that, the more I look at Chu Qiu, the more I feel he’s hiding something deep]

[Mu Qiu: Ah, this... really a huge misunderstanding]

[Brother Cheng, you’ve changed, you actually take the initiative to collect protection money now! Isn’t this something Brother Huai would do? I’m out]

[Mu Qiu: Finally got rid of this unbearably dry bread]

[This really is a different kind of love hahahaha]

[Blind guess: Chen Yi is the traitor]

[My head is spinning, I keep nodding along with everyone’s analysis]

[The fence-sitter has truly switched sides hahahaha]

[Mu Qiu, protect your water! That’s the only bottle left now]

[To be safe, you two should just drink this bottle of water first]

[Here we have the scavenger duo, across from them the looter trio, in the middle the crime scene four-man team, and there’s also the rummaging group focused on finding archive cards]

[Who’s the one with weak legs? Is it what I’m imagining?!]

[So, have they been together for less than a month and already...?! Isn’t that a bit fast?]

[If I were dating Brother Cheng, I’d knock him over on the first night, if you can resist, you’re strong]

[Brother Cheng: ??? Why would I "be" knocked over?]

[Brother Mei Yan’s hesitate-to-speak expression made me realize, so Brother Cheng appears gentlemanly but actually knows everything?]

[I think it’s Mu Qiu, remember during the first episode it was like this too, she analyzed like crazy, but in the end, she was the big boss]

[I think it should be the three new guests]

[Who’s the Purifier? Brother Cheng?]

[Brother Cheng walked away with a bottle of Lao Gan Ma and a loaf of bread hahahahaha]

[Would Brother Cheng sit on the roadside with Shen Zhousong, eating bread with Lao Gan Ma? I can’t imagine]

[...]

The influx of comments caused a bit of lag in the servers.

The engineers who had been playing along with the show finally got a chance to be useful again.

When the livestream stabilized, the two involved had already separated.

Cheng Zhirang took the loot to meet with Shen Zhousong, while Mu Qiu, blushing, squatted with Zhao Yu, looking for a piece of sausage in the corners under the shelves.

To ease the awkwardness, Zhao Yu kindly suggested a new topic.

"When we came over, I noticed that several shelves in the middle were empty, and at the end of the shelves, where cooked food and bagged rice used to be, was also cleared out, and the direction of the fallen things was different."

Mu Qiu tried to act as if nothing had happened and said seriously:

"It seems the people looting weren’t from the same group, maybe quite a few passed by at different times. Around that milk spill earlier, there were many scattered shoe prints."

"So, it means the looters could also be the people who were killed. But where are the supplies?"

Mu Qiu finally pulled out that sausage, wiped it clean, and stuffed it into her pocket, saying:

"Regardless of what connection exists between the looted people and the looters, one thing’s for sure, the stolen supplies must be concentrated somewhere."

Having said that, the two exchanged meaningful glances.

"Now, we can go treasure hunting."

The hoarded supplies and monster archive cards are treasures. With enough food for noon, they could confidently search other places.

Making sure the belts were fastened tightly enough not to fall, they retraced their steps, stealthily moving like before, struggling towards the supermarket entrance.

The crackling of the bread packaging in their pockets forced them to keep a hand pressed over it.

Finally reaching the destination was a feat, with Mu Qiu sweating profusely.

"Stick your head out and see where they are. If we don’t move soon, I’ll suffocate in here."

The high temperature accelerated the vinegar sense in the air, as if the sweat she was about to produce would be a diluted vinegar solution.

Zhao Yu peeked out cautiously, quickly squatting back, whispering:

"Brother Cheng and the others are searching too, Guan Yu’s group has reached the shelves against the opposite wall; if we step out, we might be seen."

"It’s okay, just pretend you can’t stand the smell and go out to gag a couple of times."

"...Experienced folks sure are different."

Mu Qiu signaled the cameras behind: "Come on, gentlemen, you go out first."

The cameramen crouched as they made a dash for the door, gesturing her and Zhao Yu out, with a lens peeking in from the entrance, relentlessly filming them.
