She slept soundly, and after lingering for a while, he went to the Small World to take a bath.
She did not wake up until eight. The men had already finished two hours of training and were gathered in the living room, some sitting, some standing.
Having just come out of the shower, their short hair was still damp, and with their bare upper bodies, each of them had only a towel draped over their shoulders.
Jiang Xun wrapped an arm around his Little Sister’s soft waist and pulled her into his embrace.
“Ah! There are water droplets, don’t touch me!”
“It’s just a little water. Come on, let Big Brother kiss you.”
Li Tong pushed against his handsome face as it leaned closer.
“No! I haven’t even washed up yet!”
“It’s fine. Big Brother doesn’t mind. Hurry and let me kiss you.”
She was no match for his strength, so she quickly slipped away into the Small World to take refuge.
Seeing her escape, Jiang Xun’s mood visibly darkened.
Qin Shuo let out a cold chuckle.
Afraid they would go hungry, Li Tong hurried through her washing and quickly came back out.
Everything she owned had been bought by the four of them, from her underclothes to her toiletries, nothing missing.
She was simply too beautiful, and the men swallowed quietly, their gazes filled with unspoken thoughts.
With a wave of her hand, Li Tong brought out a full table of breakfast.
Today’s meal was a foreign-style breakfast, sausages, bacon, mashed potatoes, roasted tomatoes, fried eggs, mushrooms, buttered toast, and a cup of room-temperature well water.
Each portion was neatly arranged on a single plate for everyone.
“09.”
“What is it, Master?”
“Can I share the panel with my Big Brothers? That way they can eat freely even when I’m not around.”
“That’s not possible. I cannot be shared with others, but Master can store supplies in the Small World.”
“Oh right! Hehe, thanks for reminding me.”
“You’re welcome, Master.”
“Big Brothers, from now on I’ll regularly place supplies in the Small World. If you need anything, just go there and take it.”
Nan Qi asked, “Does your system have weapons? These peaceful days won’t last much longer.”
Hearing this, Li Tong quickly opened the interface and searched. Her eyes lit up, and she raised her head excitedly.
“Yes, yes! There are even missiles! What do you want? Just tell me the names.”
The four of them were delighted and each listed the weapons they commonly used.
After entering the names, she took them all out.
Sniper rifles, rifles, submachine guns, pistols, machine guns, military knives, and more were piled on the floor.
The men were overjoyed, picking up the weapons and examining them carefully.
If it had not been for the urgent evacuation, with how much they cherished their equipment, they would have gone back to their guild to retrieve all their weapons.
Seeing her Big Brothers happy made her happy as well.
The rain grew heavier, and the water level had already risen to the sixth floor.
Starting today, the sounds of neighbors arguing could be heard outside.
Over trivial matters and petty disputes, even the smallest issue would ignite tempers.
Most people were starving, and in such conditions, they could only guard their little space with sallow faces, remaining silent.
The corridor had become crowded, with waste and garbage everywhere, and the air was filled with a foul stench.
Those who once warmly helped others now kept their doors shut, pretending not to hear anything.
Those who had let outsiders into their homes regretted it deeply, for inviting them in was easy, but sending them away was not.
Knock, knock, knock!
Knock, knock, knock!
Li Tong’s door was knocked on once again.
News spread quickly, and the entire corridor knew that only four men lived here.
Zhang Jiaqi and Niu Weiwei were university roommates, both known as campus beauties. After confirming the information, they set their sights on this place.
Today, Li Tong took the initiative to curl up in Xiong Ji’s arms. He was overjoyed and kept kissing her nonstop.
The four of them had talked briefly in the gym that morning, but it was still too early for them to accept the idea of sharing her.
So when they saw such intimate behavior, they still felt a sharp pain in their hearts.
Knock, knock, knock!
“Hello, could you open the door? We’d like to trade something.”
“Hi there~”
The affected, overly sweet voices outside made the four men feel nauseated. Taking their weapons, they all retreated to their bedrooms.
Xiong Ji did not stop kissing her and carried his Little Sister back into the bedroom.
One hand supported her waist while the other moved restlessly.
Li Tong let out a soft sound, pushing lightly against the man’s firm abdomen.
It was a little too much, so he restrained himself.
Her face flushed red, and her lashes were damp with moisture.
“Big Brother is so annoying!”
“Alright, alright, I’m annoying… Big Brother will wash it for you.”
She tried to stop him, but he ignored her and lowered her hand.
He lifted her up and settled her onto his lap.
Leaning against the headboard, one hand still wandering, he chatted with her from time to time.
“Big Brother! I’m talking about something serious!”
She spoke her piece while he remained distracted, the two of them completely out of sync.
“So, in my dream, the authorities will establish a base. Should we go when the time comes?”
Xiong Ji looked up at her with a smile.
“If you want to go, then we’ll go. Wherever you go, Big Brother will follow.”
“Everyone went, but the prophetic dreams were just fragments in time, like fast-forward clips. I didn’t see what the base looked like.”
After tending to her for a moment, he leaned back against the headboard, gazing at her with affection.
“Do you want to go to the base, little one?”
“I don’t know. The extreme cold only lasts three months, but the extreme heat afterward will continue indefinitely, and it comes together with insect swarms. I’m thinking that if we go to the base, it might be safer.”
“If you want to go, we’ll go. Even if we don’t, Big Brother can still protect you.”
“Ah… if only I could stay in the Small World twenty-four hours a day.”
“Does my good girl not trust Big Brother?”
“Of course I trust you! But I don’t want you to get hurt… In my dream, you all…”
As she spoke, tears began to fall like pearls.
