With that in mind, Jingu Yi began searching for Yoel.
Joel's main responsibility now is to patrol and see if any suspicious people enter the mall.
Besides patrolling, she also helps transport goods in her spare time.
There's nothing we can do about it, she's just that strong!
……
"Thank you, Ms. Joel!" A middle-aged woman was thanking Joel from a shelf in the mall.
It seems that Joel helped that middle-aged woman in some way.
"You're too kind. It's only right to help each other." Joel waved his hand, seemingly not taking what had just happened to heart.
"Hey! Ms. Joel!" Just then, a voice called out to Joel.
Upon hearing that voice, Joel instinctively looked in the direction of the sound.
Joel was quite familiar with Jingu Yi's voice, and besides, Jingu Yi was the only male in the mall, so he could tell who it was just by the voice.
"Mr. Jingu Yi." Upon seeing Jingu Yi, Joel immediately stepped forward and looked at him with a smile.
Joel is able to eat so well and live in such a nice environment in the mall even in the apocalypse, all thanks to Shen Gongyi!
Therefore, Joel was quite grateful to Shen Gongyi.
"Yor, what are you doing?" Jingu Yi asked casually, trying to start a conversation.
"I just finished my patrol and was helping someone move goods!" Joel replied to Shen Gongyi.
“If you ask me, you shouldn’t be helping others with their products. That’s their job! If you do all their work, then they have an excuse to slack off!” Jingu Yi said to Yoel.
"Huh? Is that so?!" Upon hearing Jingu Yi's words, Joel was also taken aback, and then showed a shocked expression.
“Yeah! Why would I lie to you?!” Seeing Joel’s shocked expression, Jingu Yi replied.
"Yor, what are your plans for the future?" Jingu Yi suddenly asked Yor.
"Uh! I haven't decided yet. There are zombies everywhere outside, so we can only take it one step at a time." Joel thought for a moment and then replied to Shen Gongyi.
When responding, Joel's expression was extremely serious.
He doesn't seem to be lying.
"Oh dear, Joel! You can't go on like this without a goal!!" Upon hearing Joel's words, Jingu Yi also spoke up.
"Target?! The target of the assassination?! Where is it??" Upon hearing Jingu Yi mention "target," Joel's expression turned serious, and she looked around.
My occupational hazard is kicking in!
"Not an assassination target, but a goal in life!" Jingu Yi immediately explained to Joel.
"Huh?! Life goals?!" Upon hearing Jingu Yi's words, Joel fell into deep thought and hesitated to give Jingu Yi an answer.
She seems to have no goals in life!
In her view, in this apocalyptic world, just surviving is enough! Why bother with life goals?! Are they just bored or have nothing better to do?!
"Um, Mr. Jingu, why do you set life goals?" Joel stared at Jingu with wide, curious eyes.
“Of course, it’s for a better life!” Jingu Yi replied to Joel.
"Ah?! Is that so?" Upon hearing Jingu Yi's words, Joel fell into deep thought once again.
“I want to see Cirilis grow up!” Joel pondered for a moment, then replied to Shen Gongyi.
Cyril is the person Joel risked his life to save, and Joel wants to see her grow up.
"Isn't there anything about yourself?!" Upon hearing Joel's words, Jingu Yi also asked her.
"Ah, this? About yourself?! I don't think so!" After hearing Jingu Yi's words, Joel thought for a moment and then replied.
"Huh?! That won't do! You'll lose hope in life sooner or later if you keep going like this!" Jingu Yi said to Joel with a serious expression.
His serious expression made it seem as if Joel was in some serious trouble.
"Huh?! What?? Lost hope in life?! This won't do!" Perhaps because he had been fooled by Jingu Yi, Joel was also a little flustered!
“Well, I know how to help people regain hope in life!” Jingu Yi said to Joel in a serious tone.
"Huh?! How do we do that?!" Upon hearing that Shen Gongyi had a way to restore hope, Joel's eyes lit up, and he asked him expectantly.
“That is, love,” Jingu Yi said to Joel with a serious expression.
"Huh?! Love?! Is there any explanation for this?!" Joel looked at Shen Gongyi with a puzzled expression.
"Hehe, love is a very beautiful thing, and this beautiful thing can also make people regain hope for life," Jingu Yi said to Joel.
Although Jingu Yi's reason was far-fetched, he thought it could still fool Joel.
Who is Yorna?! He'd arrange a fake marriage just to dispel suspicion! Such a naive person, so easy to fool.
When he was trying to fool Joel, Shen Gongyi felt a little embarrassed, but not much.

"So, even if someone is desperate about life, as long as she finds love, she will definitely rekindle her hope!" Jingu Yi said to Joel in front of him in a serious tone.
"Yes, I understand!" After hearing what Jingu Yi said, Joel nodded repeatedly in agreement.
"Ms. Joel, have you decided to pursue a beautiful love?" Jingu Yi suddenly changed the subject and asked Joel in front of him.
"Huh?! Love?! Me?? No!" Faced with Jingu Yi's question, Joel also shook his head and denied it.
Moreover, Joel shook his head decisively, without any hesitation.
"Huh??" Joel's decisive shake of his head in denial left Jingu Yi stunned on the spot.
"No, Ms. Joel! I've said so much to you, have you taken my words to heart?" Jingu Yi questioned Joel with a stern face.
“Remember this! Love can give people hope again and make them look forward to a better future!” Joel said to Shen Gongyi.
"Hehe, now that you've heard what I said, why are you going to waste your time looking for a beautiful love?!" Shen Gongyi asked Yoel in front of him.
"Huh?! But I can't find it here!" Joel looked around and then said to Shen Gongyi with a helpless expression.
"What do you mean you can't find it? There's one right in front of you!" Seeing Joel looking around but not at him, Shen Gongyi said irritably.
"Huh?? What?? Mr. Jingu Yi, do you mean it's you?!" Upon hearing Jingu Yi's words, Joel also looked at Jingu Yi in front of him.
The man in front of me, Shen Gongyi, had exquisite features, was very handsome, and had a great physique.
Previously, Joel had feelings for Jingu Yi, but she only treated her as a friend and never dared to have any romantic feelings for her.
"Ms. Joel, how about having a sweet romance to brighten your life?" Jingu Yi asked Joel in front of him.
"Huh?! What?! Sweet romance?!" Upon hearing Jingu Yi's words, Joel's cheeks instantly turned red.
Joel may be naive and easily fooled, but she's not stupid! How could she not see through Jingu Ichi's obvious confession?!
Wait a minute, no wonder Jingu Yi was talking about how love can change your life! He was talking about me all along!
At this moment, Joel looked as if he was just realizing what was happening.
Before Yor could react, Jingu Yi took the initiative to attack.
Before Joel could answer, he had already kissed her lips.
"Huh?!" Joel was caught off guard by Jingu Yi's sudden attack!
When she came to her senses again, her lips felt a cool and refreshing sensation.
It was Jingu Ichi; he kissed her.
"Um, no, you..." Joel wanted to say something about Jingu Yi's bold actions.
However, Jingu Ichi kissed her lips, giving her no chance to speak at all!
Moreover, for some reason, when Jingu Yi kissed her, it felt like all her strength was drained away.
Her eyes also became rice-grain-like.
"Huh?! Professor Jingu, Ms. Joel, what are you doing?!" Just then, a mature figure stepped out and asked Jingu and Joel.
The figure was none other than Shiraki Meiko.
"Ah!" Upon hearing the sound, Joel seemed to come back to her senses. She broke free from Shen Gongyu's embrace and pushed him away.
Moreover, Joel, who was in a shy state, also failed to control his strength.
"Bang!" Shen Gongyi crashed heavily into the wall.
Because Joel didn't control his strength, the impact caused Jingu Yi a lot of pain.
Then, Joel ran away as if fleeing.
"Oh no! Did I cause trouble?!" Seeing Joel flee as if he were running away, Shiraki Meiko's lips twitched, and then she spoke.
"Hehe! Yes! You've gotten yourself into big trouble!" At this moment, Jingu Yi came up to Shiraki Meiko and put a hand on her shoulder.
"Huh?! This..." After feeling something on her shoulder, Shiraki Meiko turned her head to look and saw it was Jingu Ichi's hand.
"Hey, Mr. Jingu! Let's talk this out!" Shiraki Meiko said with a smile to Jingu.
"Heh, talk nicely?! You just scared away my target! Tell me, how are you going to make it up to me?!" Jingu Yi coldly questioned Shiraki Meiko.
"Um, so what do you want?!" Shiraki Meiko asked Jingu Yi curiously.
However, upon meeting Shengu Yi's gaze, he noticed that Shengu Yi's expression was quite gloomy.
It felt like she was about to explode at any moment.
Meiko Shiraki knew that Isamu Jingu was in a bad mood at the moment, and falling into his hands would probably not end well.
"Um, Mr. Jingu! I suddenly remembered I have something to do. How about I apologize to you another time?!" Shiraki Meiko said to Jingu.
