Back on the second floor of the mall, the three of them continued packing clothes and other items. Jiang Yanxin found some small clothes that Yang Yang could wear and grabbed a lot of short sleeves, long sleeves, little pants, and shorts for him.
She also packed a panda cotton coat, a little lamb down jacket, and even a few small dresses into Yang Yang’s bag.
The three of them made three or four trips before they finally felt they had enough clothes, then they headed upstairs.
The third floor of the mall was the men’s clothing section.
Jiang Yanxin only took a few pieces before following Chen Wan and the others to the fourth floor.
The reason she took a few men’s clothes was that Jiang Yanxin was still thinking about her parents in Funan City.
However, given the current situation, she didn’t dare to hope that her family was still alive.
Taking more clothes was just a way to comfort herself.
Chen Wan seemed to guess what was on her mind and gently comforted her, “Don’t worry, we’re already on our way there.
Everything will be fine.”
Jiang Yanxin looked at the clothes in her hands and was only dazed for a few seconds before quickly adjusting herself, “In this situation, anything can happen.
I’m fine.
Let’s hurry up to the fourth floor and grab more stuff.”
“Okay.”
Chen Wan saw Jiang Yanxin quickly recover and responded decisively.
They had been out for six hours and needed to finish transporting the supplies and return to the RV as soon as possible.
Half of the fourth floor was dedicated to shoes and bags, while the other side sold gold and jade.
However, in the apocalypse, a whole row of gold wasn’t worth as much as a pair of well-fitting shoes.
Chen Wan asked Jiang Yanxin and Qin Ke for their shoe sizes and found that all three of them were about the same, size 37 or 38.
She also asked for Yang Yang’s shoe size, and then the three of them went on a frenzy in the sports shoes, hiking shoes, and children’s shoes sections.
They didn’t use boxes, as they took up too much space, and instead stuffed shoes of similar sizes into several large bags, busy as could be.
Meanwhile, outside, the man who had been watching Chen Wan and the others transport supplies set his sights on two other people.
He saw two people approaching from a distance and quickly pretended to limp away, lying down to feign distress just like before.
The two men coming from around the corner each carried a large bag, clearly scavenging for supplies along the roadside.
When they saw the male Omega lying on the ground, they hurried over to inquire.
“I twisted my ankle.
Can you take me home?
Thank you, really, thank you.”
The male Omega, already disheveled, squeezed out a few tears to plead for help.
The man with glasses and a buzz cut exchanged a glance with the slightly shorter man beside him.
Although they found the situation a bit odd, they couldn’t take their eyes off the male Omega’s decent figure, and their vigilance gradually faded.
The buzz cut man straightforwardly went to help him up, but his hand wasn’t exactly well-behaved.
His companion, seeing the buzz cut man so eager, quickly joined in to help.
When Chen Wan and the others came down with supplies again, they saw the flirtatious Omega already being supported by two male alphas.
Chen Wan and the others didn’t pay much attention.
After all, in this situation, anyone who took the bait was either acting on impulse or just not very bright.
Surviving over three months in the apocalypse was purely a matter of luck.
The male Omega seemed to hear the commotion from Chen Wan and the others and quietly complained to the two men beside him, “You two are kind-hearted, unlike those women.
They almost shot me earlier.”
“Don’t worry, with us here, they won’t dare touch you,” the buzz cut man confidently assured, his hand brushing against the Omega’s waist, as if giving some kind of signal.
The male Omega gratefully thanked the two men beside him for a long time and led them to Building A, Unit 4, Room 301.
Chen Wan and the others didn’t see the male Omega again during their subsequent trips to transport supplies, but these were just side stories.
The three of them didn’t care.
By the time they had gathered all the necessary supplies, it was already past four in the afternoon, and none of them, including Yang Yang, had eaten lunch.
After putting the last batch of supplies into the compressed space in the trunk, Chen Wan found that there wasn’t much space left, which greatly increased her sense of satisfaction.
She just wondered how the little one was doing.
Chen Wan opened the RV door and saw Yang Yang with his little hands on the table, his small face resting on them, looking pitifully dazed.
His eyes were red, as if he had been crying.
When Yang Yang saw Chen Wan and the others return, he couldn’t hold back the tears in his eyes any longer.
Yang Yang slid off the sofa and, not caring about how dirty Chen Wan was, threw himself into his Mommy’s arms, crying “Wah wah wah.”
Seeing Yang Yang cry, Chen Wan quickly picked him up and comforted him, “Baby, don’t cry, don’t cry.
It’s Mommy’s fault.
Did we make you worry?
We should have come back earlier.
Don’t cry, don’t let those tears fall, okay?”
“Mommy~ wah wah wah, I thought you, Mom, and Auntie weren’t coming back,” Yang Yang sobbed in Chen Wan’s arms, his small body shaking with each cry, looking so pitiful.
Chen Wan quickly comforted him, “There were just too many things in the mall.
We spent almost the whole day moving them.
You’re still in the car, so how could Mommy not come back?”
After being comforted by Chen Wan for a while, Yang Yang buried his little face in her arms, acting spoiled, but his small clothes got stained with quite a bit of dirt and blood.
Chen Wan gently patted Yang Yang’s little bottom and softly coaxed, “Mommy is dirty, and now you’re dirty too.
How about we take a bath together later?”
“Okay~” Yang Yang wiggled his little legs and obediently agreed.
He had been really scared earlier.
Mommy and the others had never been out for so long without coming back.
He thought they might not return, so he secretly cried several times.
Even his little stuffed cow’s head got wet from his tears.
But thankfully, Mommy and the others came back.
Jiang Yanxin picked up Yang Yang from Chen Wan’s arms, “Our Yang Yang is the best, so brave, right?
This time we gathered enough supplies, so Mommy, Mom, and Auntie won’t have to leave the car so often.
We’ll stay with you every day, okay?”
Yang Yang nodded his little head, still feeling a bit wronged, and snuggled into Mom’s arms, then looked up at Qin Ke, reaching out for a hug.
Auntie was the only one who hadn’t comforted him yet, so Yang Yang wiggled his little legs, wanting to go to Qin Ke.
Qin Ke took Yang Yang from Jiang Yanxin’s arms, holding the little one and soothing her gently, “Auntie won’t be this late next time.
How about I tell you a few more stories later?”
“Okay.”
Yang Yang’s mood brightened immediately at the mention of more stories, and even her little legs started to swing.
Chen Wan saw that the little one was no longer upset after being coaxed, so she picked up Yang Yang and took her to the bathroom inside, undressing her completely to give her a bath.
Yang Yang was only a little dirty from being held by the three of them, so Chen Wan just rinsed her off a bit and helped her change clothes, letting her go out to play.
Yang Yang changed into a little giraffe t-shirt and a pair of bunny shorts, and with her short legs, she went to find her Mom.
Jiang Yanxin was resting outside, and when she saw Yang Yang coming over, she quickly stopped her, “Yang Yang, play by yourself for a bit.
I’m dirty, and if I hold you, your bath will be wasted.”
Yang Yang stopped her little steps towards her Mom’s arms and instead started circling around Jiang Yanxin with her short legs.
Fortunately, Chen Wan and Qin Ke both came out soon after.
Qin Ke picked up Yang Yang, took a storybook, and went to the sofa in the dining room to tell her stories.
Chen Wan started cooking noodles, using pickled fish seasoning this time.
She added a lot of water, along with luncheon meat and noodles, and soon the aroma of pickled vegetables and noodles spread.
Yang Yang hadn’t eaten lunch, and she had only had a few cookies while listening to the story to fill her little tummy, but she was still very hungry.
Her round little belly was now quite empty, so her attention was already drawn to the pot of noodles Chen Wan was cooking.
Qin Ke, of course, noticed the little one’s actions and stopped telling the story, lightly touching Yang Yang’s little belly with a smile, asking, “Are you hungry?
Is your little tummy hungry?”
Yang Yang nodded her little head and replied, “Yes, Auntie, Mommy’s food smells so good.”
Finding the little glutton in her arms adorable, Qin Ke picked up Yang Yang and went to Chen Wan’s side so Yang Yang could see the noodles in the pot more clearly.
Chen Wan, knowing exactly what the little one meant, leaned over to kiss Yang Yang’s little face, coaxing, “I know you’re hungry.
Mommy will give you more noodles later so you can eat until you’re full, okay?”
“Okay, Mommy, this sour smell is nice.”
Yang Yang said to Chen Wan, but her eyes were fixed on the noodles in the pot, amusing both Chen Wan and Qin Ke.
When Jiang Yanxin came out after her bath, Chen Wan’s noodles were ready.
The little one sat on the sofa, scooping up noodles with a spoon and eating them in big bites, her cheeks puffing up.
Jiang Yanxin watched Yang Yang eat with amusement, wiping the noodle soup from the corner of her little mouth, gently reminding her, “Eat slowly, there’s more in the pot.”
Yang Yang nodded her little head, happily swinging her short legs.
After eating half a bowl, her pace finally slowed down, but her little tummy had been really hungry.
Meanwhile, the man who had been causing trouble on the road never showed up again.
At the same time, in Unit 4, Room 301 of Building A, the flamboyant male Omega from earlier was now with his boyfriend, dragging the two men they had just dealt with to the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room.
Together, they threw the two men out the window.
“Ha, those two idiots thought they could take advantage of me? They got to grope me for half a day for nothing, it’s disgusting.”
The male Omega didn’t feel at all that they had just thrown two lives away, wiping the places on his body where the two had touched with disdain.
His boyfriend quickly came over to comfort him, “Don’t be mad, they had a lot of stuff in their bags.
After this job, we won’t have to go out and take risks for a week.”
“Get away, you always make me the bait. Those two men almost got into my pants, it’s really gross.”
The male Omega complained while continuing to wipe himself.
“I’d like to go, but I’m an alpha. If I go out and call for help, not many people would believe me. We still have to rely on you, thank you, thank you. I saw they had a lot of bottled water and instant noodles in their bags, I’ll make you some noodles later.”
The man continued to speak sweetly.
The male Omega sighed, thinking about the three women he had encountered on the road earlier, still a bit unwilling.
Plus, two of them were alphas and quite good-looking, so he spoke up irritably, “Actually, those two were the second group I ran into.
Before them, there were three women, two alphas and an Omega.
They had an RV, and I saw them carrying a lot of supplies from a mall.
But they were very cautious and had guns.”
“So, their RV must have a lot of goods? Maybe even a lot of guns?”
The man quickly asked.
“Probably, but they didn’t take the bait, and I’ve already shown my face once. They won’t trust me again.”
The male Omega thought for a moment and said.
The reason he brought it up was because he had his eyes on that RV.
After all, killing those three women and taking the supplies from the RV would be much safer than going to the mall.
And with such a big RV, they probably wouldn’t have to take risks for a month, and he wouldn’t have to let those disgusting alphas take advantage of him anymore.
