Wait for me a moment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan found it strange and walked to the bedroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There he saw Yang Mei with a needle and thread, sewing something onto clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t help but be slightly amazed and asked, \"What are you sewing clothes for?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Mei didn’t have time to answer, biting off the thread and tying a knot before she stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a leather jacket. In this weather, wearing a leather jacket would definitely be unbearably hot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Mei handed over the jacket with a hint of expectation on her face: \"Try it on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan was puzzled as he received the jacket: \"Why make me clothes all of a sudden... huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he took the jacket, he immediately realized something was unusual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weight was off!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly shook out the jacket, and it was clearly much heavier than a regular piece of clothing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan reached inside the lining and his face lit up with surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Steel plates?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turned out that several steel plates had been sewn into the lining of the leather jacket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chest, abdomen, back, lower back, and shoulders were all protected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was much more stable and convenient than simply inserting a single steel plate into his coat as he had done before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan looked at Yang Mei, only to find her watching him nervously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How is it? Can you wear it? Is it too heavy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan didn’t waste words and put it on immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was his own jacket anyway, so naturally, it fit well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the added steel plates, and considering his recently increased strength attribute and muscle mass, his entire body seemed to have bulked up significantly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hard steel plate jacket instantly made him feel immensely safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Yang Mei with joy and was moved: \"You’ve been working on this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his satisfaction, Yang Mei breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stepped forward to help him zip up, speaking softly: \"Little brother, I know I’m not much use.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Before the end of the world, my parents resented having a daughter and always wanted a son-in-law but feared being cheated, so they settled for Li Zhiqiang, who’s useless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After the apocalypse, even Li Zhiqiang complained that I was wasting food and wanted to sell me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve been a burden wherever I go, but you didn’t mind and let me stay at your place. I’m so happy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know I can’t stop you from going out on adventures, so this is the only way I can try to make sure you come back safely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t help but lean against Liang Yuan’s chest, her eyes red, murmuring: \"Promise me, come back safely. Besides you, I don’t know who I can rely on in this world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan’s heart warmed; he had never met such a gentle and caring woman before or after the apocalypse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He admitted that at first, taking in Yang Mei was mostly out of self-interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For one thing, Yang Mei was beautiful, and he was lonely and in need of companionship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, he wanted a trustworthy person to help guard his home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So initially, he didn’t force himself on Yang Mei but treated her genuinely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t expect that in just a few days, she would be so devoted to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan wasn’t sure if it was because of the apocalypse or her parents’ preference for sons over daughters, causing her to lack a sense of security.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In these few days, Yang Mei had truly given him her whole heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even being self-serving, he had come to care deeply for this gentle and affectionate woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With nothing more to say, Liang Yuan lifted her up and strode to the master bedroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Yang Mei didn’t resist; instead, she responded passionately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were like dry wood meeting a raging fire, from the doorway to the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clothes were thrown off, shoes kicked away, eager to dissolve into each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little brother—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Mei’s murmurs seemed like the most urgent call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan’s blood boiled, and with a low growl, he tore away all her restraints.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan delightedly realized that after his strength attribute doubled,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>not only was his strength greater, but his endurance also seemed to have improved!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Strength attribute actually includes not just muscle power, but also endurance and other invisible attributes?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He started contemplating, but this distraction made him lose the feeling he had barely found.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one who suffered naturally was Yang Mei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An hour later, Yang Mei lay limp in Liang Yuan’s arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She truly didn’t have the strength to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan felt refreshed, noting that it was almost evening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He got up and said, \"I’m going to make something to eat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Mei immediately tried to get up, but her body was too sore to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan chuckled and held her down: \"No need for you to do anything. I’ll manage. You rest well and wait for me tonight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Mei obediently murmured assent, eyes full of tenderness, as she watched him leave the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan took out the steak he had won in a lottery and cooked a simple steak dinner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no pepper at home, but thankfully he had Lao Gan Ma sauce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A steak with Lao Gan Ma, full of spicy protein, had its own unique flavor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After eating the whole piece, he was already full.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This stuff was very filling and a bit greasy with too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, Lao Gan Ma balanced the grease and stimulated his appetite. He left a small portion for Yang Mei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he brought the steak to the bedroom, Yang Mei’s face lit up with joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Steak? There’s still steak at home?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heaven knows how long it had been since she had eaten high-quality protein like steak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan smiled: \"Eat up. You used up a lot of energy just now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Mei blushed immediately but couldn’t care about shyness; she was genuinely hungry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her red lips gently bit into the steak, and the rich flavor exploded on her taste buds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her stomach didn’t allow her to chew thoroughly before demanding she swallow quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So delicious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the first bite, she stopped worrying about her image and took another bite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after finishing the small portion did she exhale in satisfaction, her face full of contentment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little brother, why do you still have steak at home? I didn’t see any when I cleaned the fridge.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan chuckled: \"There were only a few pieces. I had hidden them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Mei was taken aback but didn’t probe further, merely saying: \"I’m lucky to have followed you; otherwise... I would probably have starved long ago.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan caressed her face: \"Don’t worry, staying with me, if nothing else, I won’t let you go hungry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They cuddled for a while longer, then Liang Yuan noted the time and said: \"That’s enough talking. They should be waiting for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he got up and dressed in his gear again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Mei managed to sit up, covered herself with the bedsheet, and anxiously said: \"Make sure to come back safely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan waved his hand and said nothing more. After putting on the leather jacket, he grabbed the modified short rifle and the nail gun in each hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fully armed, he finally said: \"While I’m away, don’t open the door for anyone, understand?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If someone tries to break in, escape via the balcony.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Mei couldn’t help but say: \"Little brother, if you don’t return, I won’t live either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan smiled, not taking it seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under life-and-death pressure, few people have the courage to choose death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he believed that Yang Mei’s feelings were sincere for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, when the moment of life and death truly arrived, everyone’s choice might differ.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Certainly, he would not allow himself or his woman to fall into such a desperate situation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan’s eyes shimmered with a cold light as he opened the door and joined the group in Unit 3202.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tonight, would definitely be a night of thrilling combat!\u003C\u002Fp>",1420,"2026-05-29T17:51:39.527Z","2026-06-01T04:29:53.098Z",1,"novelbin.me","8889ab3250d6b81c31be937d30fbd4b8b5f646faf07378755f4b7c8c87b59033","apocalyptic-flood-sexy-beauty-neighbor-s-midnigh-chapter-120","apocalyptic-flood-sexy-beauty-neighbor-s-midnigh-chapter-368",1292,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapocalyptic-flood-sexy-beauty-neighbor-s-midnigh-cover.jpg"]
