The two of them went out late that day. Fang Hao's face was red and he kept his head lowered subconsciously. When he occasionally raised his eyes to look at He Zizhong, his eyes were filled with unconcealed happiness and joy.

Of course, the trained waiters could see that the two handsome guys were a pair. This was a holiday destination. How many people have they seen on wedding travel or couple travel? Man-man, man-woman, woman-woman, what was accepted in mainstream society accepted as well as what was not, they've seen it all. It's hasn't been surprising for a long time.

When the two of them disappeared at the gate of the villa, a few waiters who had nothing to do came together to gossip: "That pair today, so handsome!"

"So what? You weren't here last time - that Lala was really good looking."

"I've seen so many beautiful people but they're wearing makeup and you can't tell their real face, so who knows if they're actually pretty? These two are natural handsome guys!"

"No matter how handsome they are, people only like men."

"That's why we want to appreciate it! If all good-looking men are gay, why can't we take a moment to appreciate it?"

...

Wearing life jackets and sitting on a yacht, the two were at the pier against shore where there was wind and waves.

He wore a baseball cap, a mask on his face, and a t-shirt over an open long-sleeved shirt.

To match He Zizhong's equipment, Fang Hao also dressed similarly, wearing a mask on his face.

Because of the inexplicable flu germs, most people dressed up to prevent infection. It saved He Zizhong a lot of trouble as no one noticed his weak face at this time.

He went to the dealership and chose a large-capacity SUV as their vehicle. He Zizhong's own SUV has become second choice and thrown into the storage space. Also thrown in at the same time were two Hummers, farming trucks, planters, plus the excavators he had used before, all of which he rented directly from the dealership in a very unethical manner. When the end of the world arrives... unless he is crazy will he return them.

He didn't want to drive the car away in the dark¹aka illegally, unless the time the end of the world came changed and it was impossible to return, otherwise, he will definitely return the car early.²This and the previous sentence are basically saying he rented several vehicles that he knows he might not return due to the apocalypse, but the apocalypse didn't happen or was delayed, he would definitely return.

The two spent the whole morning in the nearby market. The fish market wholesale began before dawn, and when they arrived, the wholesale sellers had finished.

However, retailers also had many good things in their hands.

He Zizhong bought a lot of fresh and alive seafood and threw them into the trunk along with boxes, nets, and bags. In a blink of an eye, it was received in the space.

He didn't deliberately avoid Fang Hao when he did these things, but Fang Hao, who had just confessed successfully, was more confused than He Zizhong, a weak and low-fever person. It took until the two returned to the shore to prepare for the ferry to go to the diving site for him to respond. "...Ah? Senior? What about the fish?"

He Zizhong raised his eyebrows, without saying a word.

Fang Hao looked at him blankly. When he rented the car in the morning, he told the car dealer that he would rent the car for four days, only half a day in the morning, and bring the car back to the dealer when not in use. There are things still in the car now, so how can they bring it back?

"Go and take it out." From the beginning, He Zizhong didn't intend to hide his space from Fang Hao. This was due to the trust in his previous life. After rebirth, after a period of time, he was convinced that the Fang Hao in front of him was still Fang Hao, the one who was still willing to stay with him even in the face of difficulties.

Fang Hao nodded in a daze, ran to the trunk and opened the door...It was empty, except for a little water stain, there was no sign of anything left there.

His face flushed, Fang Hao thought of the things that disappeared quietly in his home. The seafood should be in the same place now?

He lowered his head and squirmed back to He Zizhong's side. He didn't avoid him, and although he didn't say it clearly, he expressed his trust this way. And this morning, he clearly accepted his feelings... Senior is such a good person! He really did not like the wrong person ≥﹏≤!

He Zizhong didn't know what he was thinking, and saw him approaching him with his head lowered, grabbed his hand and led him to the docks.

...Hold hands.

Pink bubbles floated around Fang Hao as he followed He Zizhong's footsteps. At this moment, even if He Zizhong pushed him into the sea, he wouldn't be able to react. Of course, the premise was that someone wants to push ╮(╯＿╰)╭.

The blue and clear sea was filled with beautiful corals, small fishes of various colors, and strange marine life among the corals.

The two wore wetsuits, swimming in the underwater world.

As soon as he entered the bottom of the sea, He Zizhong took off his left glove. Physical touch is needed to move things into his space, but the volume of the storage space is a bit scary.

He still remembered that before he was reborn, he was unable to store things the size of a container at once, but when he was hoarding goods in F city, he was able to put the large pile of things in the warehouse in all at once. That was something the size of a container and a half!

At that time, he was taken aback by himself. After staring at his hand for a long time, he was sure that his eyes were still working.

The sequelae was that his head will be dizzy for a while, and about it took half an hour of rest to restore about half of the energy spent.

After entering the sea, he absorbed the sea water little by little until the sea pit in the space was completely filled. Afterwards, the corals, sea cucumbers, sea urchins, seahorses, starfish, moray eels, etc. went in. Most of the marine life within a certain range were thrown into the sea of ​​space by him as they passed by.

The coolest thing about collecting materials in the sea was that because seawater was also collected, even if he didn't touch the fish, as long as they were within a certain range, they could be sent to the space!

After returning to his senses, Fang Hao naturally noticed He Zizhong's small movements. He deliberately wandered between He Zizhong and the staff who accompanied them to the sea from time to time, blocking the other's sight.

Although he could store a lot of good things, He Zizhong was still very careful. They plan to stay in N city for a few more days, and he can't be too arrogant, otherwise, before the end of the world might not come, yet his end would.³I.e., he'd be found out for stealing or his secret would be out and others would want the space.

Climbing onto the boat one after the other, the two sat on the bow breathing fresh air.

"Is it fun?" Looking at the mark on Fang Hao's face from being pressed by the goggles, he raised his hand and touched it. The corner of He Zizhong's mouth could not help but raised.

Fang Hao nodded: "The sea is so beautiful, and the coral is so beautiful."

The staff on the side asked as they set up the boat: "You little couple came out for your honeymoon?"

Fang Hao was stunned, and then smoke began to appear on his face. He, a natural gay who came out long ago, was actually shyer than He Zizhong, who only discovered his sexuality in college...

"Yes." He Zizheng embraced Fang Hao's shoulder generously, "What is it? You have a lot of tourists like us?"

The man opened his mouth and laughed: "Isn't it? There are quite a few couples who came for their honeymoon. Last time we took wedding photos on the sea floor for a pair of men. We are much more open here, much better than those inland conservatives. But you two are a bit different."

"Oh? What's different?"

"Many of the little gays we saw were a bit feminine, flowery speech, and put on makeup."⁴Very liberla translation here, but what he said implies that the gays act coquettish and feminine with makeup and such. The man added a sentence in his stomach: In comparison, these two are less scary.

Fang Hao quietly pulled He Zizhong's arm, and He Zizhong moved his ear to him: "Senior, do you... do you like that feminine style?"

He Zi twitched his cheeks and tapped on the back of his head: "It's better to find a woman directly."

Fang Hao breathed a sigh of relief, okay, that's okay. But...he's always been weak and flushed easily. Is that...did that count...?

 

Beach, marine life, sea water...

He Zizhong ransacked the nearby waters from Tuesday to Thursday. Unfortunately, some marine creatures die when they came ashore. Unless they can meet them on the seabed, He Zizhong really can't collect them all.

As for the large deep-sea creatures...Child, take a shower, just that broken puddle in the space? Forget it.⁵Basically, it's the author being sarcastic and saying getting those are a fool's errand. Couldn't translate it well without losing the entire context.

On Thursday morning, the two visited a nearby market selling dried seafood and bought a lot, including coarse and fine sea salt.

All day Friday, they visited the market and bought some plants unique to the south, such as coconut saplings and banana saplings, as well as a large number of tropical fruits and southern condiments.

Saturday afternoon, they climbed again on the plane and returned to city N.

More and more people were falling ill from the virus, and there are countless people in a severe coma.

He Zizhong sat down in the aisle and took Fang Hao's left hand. Fang Hao tilted his head and leaned on his shoulder, already asleep.

Tomorrow early in the morning, the world will change drastically, and an army of zombies will instantly flood all corners of the world.

After getting off the plane for a while, he considered taking Fang Hao home directly. His home was in the city center. In his previous life, Dai Jun, Xu Lili, and him had to work very hard to escape. At the beginning, they stayed at home for a full week.

The city center is too dangerous and it is inconvenient to collect materials. Regardless how many supermarkets there were in the city center, living people would go straight to those large and small supermarkets, and it would be very troublesome if blocked by zombies.

Besides...

Thinking of Dai Jun and Xu Lili, He Zizhong's eyes flashed with coldness. After his rebirth, he only cared about breaking up with Dai Jun peacefully but ignored Xu Lili. Unexpectedly, she actually came to his home last Sunday as in the previous life.

And on Saturday a week later, this evening, she would come over again, and she would not leave until she had a fever, and after that, the zombie broke out.

He Zizhong didn't want to be involved with that woman anymore, and was even more afraid that he would get angry and quarrel with her as soon as he saw her. Therefore, no matter how he considered it, it was best not to go home.

Turning on the phone and checking the offline map of city F in flight mode, he marked some important storage locations that can be collected...

He flicked his finger across the screen little by little, and suddenly, He Zizhong looked at a place and his eyes lit up.

 

"Senior, where are we going?" Fang Hao rubbed his eyes as he dazedly followed He Zizhong to the exit.

"Xinhai Hot Spring Resort."
