He knew that today’s incident was urgent. Many things were temporarily arranged by Lu Feng and Howard. They did their best to settle the residents in District 6. However, like the soldiers, the staff of the Trial Court and the city’s defense station, they might not have a residence or office for a while. Or they might simply be arranged to rest in the residential area near the gate for the night.

However, he felt that Lu Feng might not want to return to the gate. An Zhe felt very complicated. His fingers subconsciously tensed and he pursed his lips.

Lu Feng asked, “What’s going on?”

His voice was a bit low and the hallway lights behind him were very dark. Perhaps it was due to the light but his silhouette wasn’t as strong as usual.

An Zhe made up his mind. Even if it was just for his spore, he had to build a better relationship with the colonel.

“If… if you don’t have a place to go—” An Zhe looked up at Lu Feng. “You can stay here with me.”

CHAPTER 24

It was very difficult for humans to take back spoken words. Thus, it turned out like this.

In the common washroom on the fifth floor, next to a sink covered with traces of brown rust, in front of a row of faucets, An Zhe held a glass of water in one hand and a toothbrush in the other as he carefully washed. He knew the living habits of human beings and imitated them every day. However, today, this attitude was more caution than usual because the colonel was beside him.

After finishing, he carefully gathered his things and looked at Lu Feng. Lu Feng had just washed his face with cold water and his hair was wet with a few crystal droplets of water, like melted snow beads. An Zhe silently handed him a towel.

Lu Feng took it and briefly said, “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

An Zhe believed that what he did was in line with human etiquette and that sharing was a common human action. He handed his cup over to Lu Feng.

“Do you want to use it?” He wondered. “But there is only one.”

Base supplies were tight and the daily necessities allocated to everyone were limited. If there were any additional needs then they had to go to the black market to buy their own. An Zhe only had one cup and one toothbrush. The black market was no longer there so he had no place to buy them from.

Lu Feng stared at him for five or six seconds before finally moving.
