"Xiao Lu, let's go in," Li Zhiqiang called to Lu Xiaoran behind him as they swaggered into the room.
Once inside, Lu Xiaoran was hit by a foul odor of something rotten. He frowned slightly and asked Li Zhiqiang, "Do you smell anything?"
Li Zhiqiang turned his head, puzzled. "No, I don't smell anything."
He wore a gas mask, which filtered out all scents except for toxic gases, so he couldn't detect any odor at all.
Lu Xiaoran waved his hand dismissively. "If you don't smell anything, then forget it. Let's split up and search the rooms quickly. We need to grab supplies and leave."
Li Zhiqiang nodded and kicked open the kitchen door, stepping inside. Lu Xiaoran headed to the bedroom, hoping to find the source of the stench he had noticed earlier.
His gaze swept across the bedroom until it landed on a double bed against the wall. As he approached the bed for a closer look, he was taken aback by what he saw.
Lying on the bed were two decayed corpses, clearly having been dead for at least a week. One was a male corpse and the other a female; even in death, they held each other's hands tightly, as if they had faced their final moments together.
It seemed unlikely that there would be any food left in this house.
A look of impatience crossed Lu Xiaoran's face. He had no time to lament the undying love of these two; he just wanted to finish today's mission as quickly as possible. Given their condition, it was highly probable they had starved to death.
This meant there would definitely be no food left in the house. They had wasted over ten minutes waiting outside earlier.
If they discovered this house had no food, Li Zhiqiang would surely suggest raiding another one. Who knew how long that would take?
As Lu Xiaoran pondered this, he realized he didn't want to wait around while Li Zhiqiang went from house to house looting. He just wanted to complete the mission quickly, return to the shelter, and find an opportunity to replicate someone else's ability.
Let's see, I might as well just copy a box of food myself and pretend I found it in this room.
With that decision made, Lu Xiaoran raised his right hand, envisioning what he wanted to replicate in his mind. In an instant, a cardboard box over half a meter tall appeared beneath the Double Bed.
"Xiao Lu, have you found anything over there? I just checked the kitchen, and there's not a single bit of food left," Li Zhiqiang said, frowning as he entered the bedroom to check on Lu Xiaoran's situation.
As soon as he stepped inside, he noticed the two corpses on the bed.
No way! The people living here must have starved to death; there can't be any food left in this house at all.
Li Zhiqiang sighed in despair, about to turn and leave when Lu Xiaoran called out to him.
"I found a box of food under my bed; come over and help me lift it out."
Li Zhiqiang approached in surprise and helped Lu Xiaoran pull the box from beneath the bed.
When they opened the box, Li Zhiqiang's eyes widened in shock.
