Li Yanqi looked at Gao Yuan's determined face, which was a far cry from his previous elite self. She didn't know how to respond for a while.
"Damn it, you're too weak, okay? Yanqi used to be strong, but she kept a low profile." Fu Ying kicked Gao Yuan without mercy. She was still angry that Gao Yuan hadn't opened the door for them as soon as they reached the fifth floor.
They had gone through so much trouble to get here, and she was starting to dislike someone like Gao Yuan.
...
"Our Xiaoying is becoming more stylish." Fu Junhong looked at Fu Ying approvingly.
A good kick, it seems he no longer has to worry about Fu Ying being bullied when she gets married.
The scene where Fu Ying was almost caught by zombies had frightened him, but fortunately, Fu Ying had reliable and good teammates.
"Grandpa, the plot is all fiction, it doesn't matter." Fu Tingyu chimed in.
He regretted that Fu Ying wasn't caught by the zombies just now.
That Li Yanqian...
"You've never been good at speaking. If you enter, you might not be as good as our Xiaoying. At best, you'll be a supporting character who dies in one episode, hahahaha." Fu Junhong imagined a tall Fu Tingyu being chased by a zombie, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction.
...
Fu Tingyu didn't know what his grandfather was thinking, but he found it amusing to see his grandfather laugh like that, so he shook his head.
If he were to go in, he would definitely be the male lead, the one who accompanies the female lead and fights alongside her... and many more.
What strange things were in his grandfather's mind? Why did he imagine himself and Li Yanqian fighting side by side?
...
Unbeknownst to them, in the hearts of some viewers, Li Yanqian had become the number one female lead. At that moment, she was preparing dinner with everyone in the spacious apartment.
Without water or electricity, they could only eat bread and ham.
"The refrigerator is out of power, otherwise, we could have eaten the meat in it. What a shame," Guo Rongrong opened the refrigerator and lamented as she looked at the spoiled meat inside.
"It would be great if Gu Yao could heat water. We could at least have instant noodles or something." Fu Ying munched on dry biscuits and expressed her dissatisfaction. Eating like this didn't feel like eating at all.
"How could I heat water? I don't have the ability to do that." Gu Yao teased herself.
"Gu Yao, have you ever thought about exploring that direction in the future? With water... there are many possibilities, right?" Li Yanqian took the opportunity to suggest. In her previous life, there were people with water-based supernatural powers who could manipulate water into various states, including ice.
"70% of the human body is water, including the atmosphere and air. Water can boil or freeze into ice. I think Gu Yao can give it a try." Zhang Tao, a science student, chimed in, unconsciously explaining in response to Li Yanqian's question.
"...Really? Do all of you think so? Then... I'll give it a try, although it might not be useful. Please." Gu Yao replied, lacking confidence.
Perhaps due to Ren Yulan's previous remarks and the fact that she hadn't actually used her abilities, Gu Yao always seemed uncertain whenever her abilities were mentioned.
"Just take your time. You can study and practice on your own every day, just like us." Li Yanqi reassured her. She believed that Gu Yao would listen to their advice because Gu Yao was a very diligent person, both in her studies and other aspects.
[Go for it, Gu Yao!]
[You can do it, girl!]
[I really like these three girls. I hope they make it to the end.]
[Miss my girlfriend, sigh~]
In the eyes of the audience, Li Yanqian, Fu Ying, and Gu Yao each had their own distinct qualities, and none of them had any major flaws in their personalities. Except for Fu Ying's somewhat domineering attitude and Gu Yao's lack of self-confidence, there was nothing else to criticize.
As a result, there were no viewers eagerly awaiting the appearance of the male lead, Jicheng, or even remembering his existence.
Finally, the TV series shifted its focus to Jicheng.
Across from Jicheng, a mature man in his thirties seemed to be discussing something with him, while Song Qingyun stood behind Jicheng, smiling.
"So, Jicheng, are you willing to join me and help? We need people right now." Xiang Mingzhi crossed his legs and looked at the handsome and outstanding young man opposite him with satisfaction.
No wonder his cousin liked him. He was young and promising, and now he had awakened the rare and powerful lightning ability. Even if it wasn't for the urgent need for more staff, he would still want someone like him under his command.
"I am very grateful for Commander Ji's offer, but I still have family members and friends whom I haven't found yet, so I may not be able to join the rescue team immediately." Jicheng replied politely.
His father hadn't been found yet, and he knew that Li Yanqian was still alive.
"Jicheng, Uncle Ji will definitely be fine at the resort, and Cousin Xiang is planning to go to Nancheng University for the rescue tomorrow. Didn't you say you have friends over there? You can go together." Song Qingyun persuaded.
It would be great if Jicheng could join her cousin. They would be one step closer to reuniting with their family.
And as for the girl Jicheng mentioned earlier, she would like to meet her sooner...
"Well then... alright, I'll go to Nancheng University with Commander Xiang tomorrow. I hope I can be of help." Jicheng hesitated for a moment before replying.
Would he see Li Yanqian tomorrow?
However, his father's whereabouts remained unknown. He had been in daily contact with Ji Hongguang for the first two days, but due to the power outage and the blocked roads to the resort, he couldn't reach them even if he wanted to.
"Hahaha, as long as you're willing to come, Jicheng, you'll definitely be able to help. Rest assured, you'll follow me tomorrow." Xiang Mingzhi said joyfully. His rescue team was about to gain another valuable member.
[Ah, the male lead finally has a significant role!]
[Cut it out! Those who didn't help the heroine from the beginning aren't good heroes.]
[It's okay. Let the male and female leads pursue their own paths.]
[What's up with Song Qingyun? Doesn't she like male protagonists?]
[After this, I don't want to see any cliché love triangle scenes. Don't force me to quit the show.]
[I don't want to watch a love triangle either. It's not interesting. I'd rather see them fighting zombies.]
