However, the matter has come to this, and no amount of regret is in vain.

Du Jiujiu endured the grief in her heart and continued to listen.

"At that time, Sister An Cheng and I felt that we could not escape and would definitely die there. But just then Xiaobai suddenly appeared. It could become so big that it could carry so many of us on its back!"

Wei Qingqing continued.

"It's Xiaobai, it's really back!" Du Jiujiu looked around just now, but didn't see Xiaobai, and thought that the cat meowing she heard before was just an illusion.

"We can come here alive thanks to Xiaobai. But since yesterday, I haven't seen it again."

"Xiaobai has saved us twice. I will definitely thank him when we meet again!" Du Jiujiu suddenly felt that she was so lucky to have met these trustworthy partners in this apocalyptic world where everyone is in danger.

"Jiujiu, you must be starving after not eating for so many days." An Cheng rummaged in a cloth bag for a while, took out a piece of burnt black stuff and handed it to Du Jiujiu.

Du Jiujiu was indeed hungry, so she quickly took it and took a bite.

After biting it in his mouth, Du Jiujiu realized that this must be some kind of jerky made from roasted meat. It tasted dry and hard, and had a sour taste. Compared with the dried bird meat that Hu Xiaoyun had roasted before, it was completely different.

"Sorry Jiujiu, we only have this now, you can make do with it first." An Cheng smiled bitterly. It was clear that they had as much food as a mountain a few days ago, but it was all gone in an instant.

"It's okay, this is already very good." Although the taste was not very good, Du Jiujiu could still feel the energy contained in it. This was what her body needed most at the moment.

"By the way, I heard Qingqing arguing with a man before. Who was that man?" Du Jiujiu was eating dried meat and suddenly remembered the conversation he heard last time he was awake.

It seems that they are not the only ones in this subway station.

"Hmph, you're talking about Su Xiaohan, he's just a scoundrel! A big man with a small belly!" Wei Qingqing said angrily. It seems that Su Xiaohan's impression in her heart is not very good.

Seeing Wei Qingqing being so excited, An Cheng shook his head helplessly and had no choice but to continue telling Du Jiujiu about him.

"Su Xiaohan is the leader of another team. He had already occupied this place before we arrived. When we first arrived here, each of us was injured and all the necessities were lost on the road. Thanks to him for lending us

Our food and medicines have kept us going until now.”

"So, he is still a good person? Then why is Qingqing..."

"It's true that he helped us, but he can't be considered a good person. Everything he lent us had to be repaid in double, and we had to hand over supplies to him every day we lived here. We were all seriously injured.

Well, there is really no way to get what he wants."

"In the past two days, I have recovered from my injuries, so I went outside to find some food. Unfortunately, I was unlucky and only caught a small bird. Apart from what was returned to them, it was just enough to eat.

Where are the extra supplies for them?"

Du Jiujiu couldn't help but feel a little moved after hearing this. Taking care of two unconscious people was already very difficult in peacetime, let alone in the last days.

Du Jiujiu could imagine how hard they had been living these past few days.

"An Cheng, Qing Qing, thank you so much! Now that my body has almost recovered, it's up to me to protect you!"

"Hey, one of the sick and wounded has woken up!" As soon as Du Jiujiu finished speaking, a lazy voice came over slowly, interrupting their conversation.

Du Jiujiu looked in the direction of the sound and saw a slender figure slowly walking down the stairs.

"Su Xiaohan!!"

Before he could get closer, Wei Qingqing had already called out his name through gritted teeth.

Under the constant flickering light of the campfire, Du Jiujiu couldn't see his appearance clearly. She only felt that his nose bridge was very high and his face had sharp edges, so his appearance should be good.

"You...what are you doing here again!?" Wei Qingqing yelled at him fiercely, but involuntarily took a few steps back.

"You must have forgotten your previous agreement, right? The deadline has come, and it seems that you still haven't collected enough of what I want." While talking, Su Xiaohan had already arrived in front of them.

Only then did Du Jiujiu realize that he was so tall, she even had to raise her head slightly to look into his eyes.

"Hello Su Xiaohan, just now... I heard from my companion that you took a lot of care of me when I was in a coma. Thank you very much."

"Don't thank me. I never do good things. I only lend you food and medicine to see if you can make a profit." Su Xiaohan was slightly surprised when she heard Du Jiujiu's words, but she regained her composure in an instant.

"Even if you thank me, I still have to collect the protection fee. If you still can't pay it, I'm afraid you will have to leave here today."

"Jiujiu, why are you thanking him? He has no sympathy in the first place!" After hearing his words, Wei Qingqing hid behind Du Jiujiu and glared at him.

"Oh? Your name is Jiujiu? What a coincidence. I am the bartender and you are the wine. This..." Su Xiaohan ignored Wei Qingqing's provocation and looked at Du Jiujiu, raising the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing

A playful smile.

"You... what are you talking about! I'm not that wine, I'm Qiong Jiu's Jiu! It has nothing to do with you at all!" Du Jiujiu was ashamed and angry, with a blush on her face.

"Oh... I don't care what kind of drink you are. In short, if you can't pay the protection fee, you'd better not waste time and leave as soon as possible." This Su Xiaohan's character is really uncertain. She was joking one second, but in the blink of an eye she

Suddenly he fell out of love.

"You helped us, and we do have to repay you, but charging protection fees is a bit unreasonable, right?" Although Du Jiujiu was confused, it was an indisputable fact that he had helped them anyway, Du Jiujiu still wanted to

Let's discuss it carefully with him.

"If we hadn't lived up there and helped you resist the attacks of strange beasts, how could you have lived so safely down there? I only charge each of you a share of food. Isn't that excessive?"

Seeing what Du Jiujiu wanted to say, Su Xiaohan smiled thoughtfully, "It's not impossible to live here without paying the protection fee, unless...one of you can defeat me."
