《The Female Lead is Raised by Bosses》 CH 1 ¡°Our luck sure is amazing, there¡¯s actually so much food in the supermarket that wasn¡¯t taken away.¡± ¡°Be careful, see if there are any zombies around.¡± ¡°None.¡± ¡°Wonderful.¡± Inside a small supermarket, two meners started getting excited over having been able to find supplies. Five years ago, the end of the world suddenly came to be. An unknown virus swept the world and countless humans turned into brainless freaks that only knew to eat other humans. Through experts¡¯ observations, in the end they concluded that this kind of decomposing creatures with no thought pattern could only be given one name¡ª- zombies. Afterwards, amidst this disaster, there were humans who evolved to have abilities continuously appearing, perhaps because of an instinctual need to survive so that mankind could have the chance to survive in this cruel apocalyptic world. Chen Jia He and Zhao Jue were one of those evolved. Chen Jia He was a D class water mener, while Zhao Jue was a C class earth mener. The two had met not long ago and decided to become partners. It was already five years into the apocalypse, and there were strong meners who build bases and strongholds. The place they were currently heading to was the north¡¯s biggest base, and in the base was a powerful S class lightning mener, an extremely strong existence in this world. Zhao Jue actually didn¡¯t want to go because he had stayed in other bases before. Weak meners like them wouldn¡¯t be looked highly upon in the base, and instead be excluded and discriminated against. It was better to try and survive outside alone. As long as one was careful, surviving wouldn¡¯t be a problem. But Chen Jia He insisted on going to the base, saying that there were many strong meners at the base and enough resources, and that they didn¡¯t have to have such a tough time outside. Zhao Jue had been single for many years, while even though Chen Jia He wasn¡¯t strong enough, every other aspect of her was according to his wishes, so he naturally started liking her. Thus, in the end, he decided to listen to her. Of course, Chen Jia He didn¡¯t like Zhao Jue. The reason she wanted to go to the base was because she knew about the future. A few days ago, Chan Jia He woke up and found that she had transmigrated into an apocalypse story where the male protagonist powered up very quickly. She didn¡¯t have time to moan about her bad luck because for her survival, she had to make use of the plot that she knew to find the biggest thigh to hug. -TOFU- thigh to hug: someone strong to rely on and protect you That super strong lightning mener in the north base wasn¡¯t the male protagonist. The male protagonist was an ordinary person in the base and didn¡¯t have an easy life, however the male lead¡¯s body held a storage space which after he accidentally obtained, turn into a bug like existence and ended this apocalyptic age. Thus, she had to go to the base and had to find the male lead and get to know him before the female lead. This way, she would be able to safely survive the apocalypse. On the way there, she met Zhao Jue. Don¡¯t look at his current C class earth mener identity, he would eventually become a member of the male leads¡¯s team and by relying on the things in the latter¡¯s space to cleanse his bones, veins and tendons, eventually evolve into an A class mener, joining the ranks of the strong. Chen Jia He felt that her luck was very good. Meeting the current weak Zhao Jue and building a good relation with him would only benefit her. The supermarket only had food and no zombies. Chen Jia He started to softly hum a tune, and when she saw that there was a box to store toilet paper in on a low shelf, she thought to take that box. As she bent down to open the box however¡ª¡ª¡ª ¡°Ahh!!!¡± A scream erupted from her throat. Zhao Jue ran over while raising a gun, and pointing at the box, wanted shoot at it. ¡°Hold on!¡± Chen Jia He shouted in a panic, ¡°It seems to be a child.¡± Under the two¡¯s alert gazes, the box moved slightly before a little head popped out. The little girl¡¯s soft hair was separated up into two messy and uneven little space buns and her clothes were messy but not dirty. She was hugging a little teddy bear that had one arm torn open and exposing cotton, and her huge and clear eyes stared unblinkingly at them. If one ignored her clashing hairstyle and messy clothing, sitting in the box, she looked just like a beautiful and exquisite little porcelain doll. She had no abnormalities and wasn¡¯t a zombie. She was an ordinary little girl. Zhao Jue put down his gun and sighed in relief but didn¡¯t let down his guard. One couldn¡¯t belittle a single person during the apocalypse, especially a little girl who appeared on her own. ¡°Little girl, you¡­ are you alone here?¡± The little girl lightly nodded her head. ¡°Where¡¯s your papa and mama?¡± The little girl¡¯s long brush-like eyelashes lowered. She hugged the teddy bear and didn¡¯t say a word. Chen Jia He stared at the little girl as she sized her up before asking, ¡°Little girl, what¡¯s your name?¡± ¡°I¡¯m Bian Bian.¡± She said in a soft voice. Disappointment flashed past Chen Jia He¡¯s eyes. She remembered that there was an extremely strong S class space mener in the story who became the male lead¡¯s god daughter afterwards. But the little girl wasn¡¯t named Bian Bian. She should be an ordinary child whose parents decided to hide her here before they died after running into some sort of danger. After Chen Jia He told Zhao Jue her guesses, the latter felt that it was reasonable and so turned around to warmly ask, ¡±Bian Bian, do you have any other close relatives here?¡± Bian Bian didn¡¯t speak. Tears started streaming down. Zhao Jue thought, it seems that Jia He¡¯s words weren¡¯t wrong. ¡°Then¡­¡± ¡°Brother Jue.¡± Chen Jia He knew what Zhao Jue wanted to say. He definitely wanted to bring this lass with them. Ignoring the fact of how one of them was a C class and the other was a D, even together they weren¡¯t that strong, it took a quite a few days to get to the base, if they brought a little girl with them¡­ It would be too dangerous and too attention grabbing. Once beautiful little girls like her were seen by some disgusting meners, it would bring them disaster level troubles. There were many meners outside fighting for their lives, while ones with powerful abilities were even easier to run into. After five years into the apocalypse, the weak were pretty much completely wiped out. None of those who were able to survive till now were easy to deal with. Most importantly, Chen Jia He knew just how brutal this story was. Having a kind heart would only make one¡¯s death come quicker. Bringing a useless little girl was way too troublesome. ¡°Since she could stay here all along and still be fine, she¡¯s obviously safe here, much safer than if she were with us.¡± Chen Jia He stopped the words that were about to come out from his mouth. Zhao Jue frowned reflexively. He looked at the child who was sobbing in grief, sobbing so hard his heart squeezed. ¡°But, if we don¡¯t bring her with us¡­¡± ¡°Brother Jue, think about it.¡± Chen Jia He once again interrupted him, ¡°We just offended those people from Flying Dragon and they¡¯re still searching for us. If we bring her along, what if we run into them? Do you really think that¡¯s the best for her?¡± She changed her tactic. Chen Jia He felt that everything about this person was good, it was just that his heart was too soft. During the apocalypse, the compassionate died the fastest. ¡°We¡¯ll leave after taking some things.¡± Chen Jia He quickly filled her pockets with supplies and pulled Zhao Jue as they left the supermarket. Bian Bian walked to the entrance of the supermarket, silently watching them as they got on a car, started it, and left. ? Zhao Jue looked at the rearview mirror as he watched her figure getting further and further away, his conscience plaguing him. ¡°Jia He, I think¡­¡± Chen Jia He had also seen the sight. She comforted him, ¡°Brother Jue, it¡¯s not that we aren¡¯t willing to bring her with us. This is for her own good, there will be strong meners who¡¯ll find her and bring her to the base.¡± Under Chen Jia He¡¯s gentle coaxing, Zhao Jue steeled his heart, and as the car left the street, everything became quiet again. Bian Bian lifted her small hand to wipe away the tears on her lashes, gently tugging the little bear¡¯s arm. ¡°It¡¯s alright.¡± She vaguely understood that the reason people went willing to bring her with them was because she was an hindrance. Just like how grandpa had never hidden it from her. She was picked up by grandpa from the dustbin. That¡¯s why grandpa saved her and even gave her the name Bian Bian; it was because she was picked up from the roadside dustbin. Grandpa and her had been to other place before and occasionally would meet other aunties and uncles. One time she heard an uncle call her a handicap. When she asked him what handicap meant, Grandpa got extremely unhappy and separated from the group of uncles and aunties with her. ¡°Grey Grey, I miss grandpa.¡± Bian Bian faced the little teddy and said. No one other than Grey Grey would talk with her. ¡°Can we give grandpa some food to eat?¡± Suddenly thinking of something, Bian Bian¡¯s eyes lit up. Bian Bian immediately returned to the box and took out a bag. Bian Bian had entered the supermarket long before Zhao Jue and Chen Jia He, and had only hidden inside the box when she heard sounds outside. Gramps said before, if she couldn¡¯t be sure whether or not the aunties and uncles that appeared were good people, she must hide. But she was still discovered in the end. ¡°We will hide ourselves even better next time.¡± Bian Bian happily told the little teddy bear. There was bread, water and instant noodles inside the bag. Bian Bian took great effort to lift it up. In the apocalypse where supplies were rare, malnutrition was extremely common. Bian Bian was very skinny. The five year old her wasn¡¯t even as tall as an adult¡¯s waist. The bag was very heavy, so Bian Bian could only drag it behind her. She knew where grandpa was. Today, all the food in the house was finished, so she mustered up the courage to come out and search for it. She was able to find so much, gramps was definitely hungry already. Bian Bian dragged the bag as she walked towards a five level tall building. This was an old estate and had long been abandoned. When gramps found this place, he felt that it was not bad and so moved into the fifth floor with Bian Bian. The entrance of the old building was a huge metal door. It had been reinforced by grandpa. Bian Bian retrieved a key from her neck to open the gate slightly before drilling in, then once again locked the gate up securely. Grandpa had said before, as long as she locked the gate properly, monsters wouldn¡¯t be able to come in. Bian Bian first went to the third floor to put the food in a room there. Originally, she and grandpa stayed on the fifth floor, but all of a sudden, one day, grandpa tidied up the third floor and made her stay on her own on the third flood before sealing the two levels above shut tightly, only leaving a tiny opening. She couldn¡¯t go in and gramps couldn¡¯t get out. At first grandpa would still stay at the little opening to talk to her, but afterwards, he didn¡¯t allow her to get near anymore. Bian Bian was an obedient child and would do whatever grandpa told her to do, but gramps hadn¡¯t eaten for so long, he was definitely hungry. Bian Bian placed the food she took out from the bag on the table and then started to count how much she had taken. In total she had taken ten bottles of mineral water, five packs of instant noodles, five packs of bread, as well as a few sweets. She put five bottles of water and three packs of instant noodles into the bag but didn¡¯t put the sweets into the bag. Grandpa¡¯s teeth weren¡¯t good, he couldn¡¯t eat sweets. The half full bag was much lighter now and Bian Bian could lift it up with her two hands. The staircase that led from the third floor to the fourth was blocked by a thick metal wall, not leaving a single gap. Only in the lower middle position was a hole around ten centimetres wide. It was very dark in the staircase. Bian Bian looked at the metal wall, slightly hesitant as she walked up. Grandpa had said before the no matter what happened, no matter what she heard, she wasn¡¯t allowed to go near it. But¡­ Bian Bian glanced at the food in the bag. The heavy bag made purplish red welts on her two tiny hands. She wouldn¡¯t say anything, and was only going to quietly stuff the food into the hole. Grandpa wouldn¡¯t blame her. She slowly walked towards the wall. With her height, when she stood up, her head would just nice be parallel to the hole and allowed for her to see the situation in there through the hole. She didn¡¯t see anything, yet heard the sound of heavy footsteps, as well as a strange grinding sound, which sounded like the sound she had heard many times before from those monsters. Tears instantly started falling from her eyes, however she didn¡¯t make any sound as she cried, instead silently stuffing bottle after bottle of water into the hole, before squeezing the instant noodles inside. Then lastly, the bread. She heard a crash. Bian Bian¡¯s tiny body trembled. She wiped away her tears, and, picking up the teddy bear that had fallen down beside her, tried hard to stop her voice from sounding choked up, ¡°I¡¯m not scared, grandpa can eat it.¡± When she went downstairs, her legs slipped and her entire body started falling down. But just at this moment, her figure suddenly froze in mid air, then was moved to the third floor entrance. Bian Bian stood at the doorway with a dazed look on her face. She looked up and saw the teddy bear rolling down, then looked at herself. Didn¡¯t she fall down? ? ¡°Your highness, you look very nervous. Did something happen?¡± Inside a resplendent palace, a smart butler was amiably asking a young man lying in the bathtub. Xiu Jin waved his hand. ¡°My daughter nearly fell just now, good thing I used my hand to stop her.¡± Smart butler: ¡°???¡± Xiu Jin said, ¡°You don¡¯t understand, get out.¡± The smart butler conscientiously asked, ¡°Your highness, when did you have a daughter?¡± ¡°Just now.¡± Xiu Jin continued staring at the game interface in concentration. The smart butler continued, ¡°Please enter your blood inheritance, I will immediately enter it into the system¡¯s database.¡± ¡°¡­Screw off.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Immediately after, it turned into a screw, rolling out of the room. Come back tomorrow for chapter 2 ~~ btw mener = ability user|ability edit: thank you Ekfreet for your suggestions CH 2 Xiu Jin liked playing with the ly-set when he was showering. It was a habit of his. Yet today when he switched on his ly-set, he found that on the screen was an extra unnamed app icon. The icon was a little girl¡¯s adorable face. Men were sometimes helpless against cute things, and the seventh prince, the richest person in the Star Galaxy¡¯s Empire, was no exception. And so, Xiu Jin tapped on the icon and found that it was a game. The little girl on the game¡¯s icon was the main character of the game¡ª Bian Bian. The moment he entered the game, a long introductory paragraph appeared. The little girl was named Bian Bian, and she was birthed during the apocalypse, but she was thrown by her parents into a trash can the moment she was born, though luckily picked up by an old man called Lu Yu afterwards who brought her with him, raising her up. Lu Yu was a B class metal mener who was very strong, but because of his age, even if the seventy years old him was a B class mener, his strength was still much discounted for due to his physical strength. He originally intended to find for Bian Bian a good family so that if he were to die of old age, he could have someone to entrust Bian Bian to. But during the apocalypse, who would selflessly bring along a little child that couldn¡¯t do anything? Lu Yu thought long and hard about it but still couldn¡¯t think of a good idea. Go to the base? If he was no longer there, there would still be people bullying her. He didn¡¯t feel rest assured enough. In the end, Lu Yu decided to find a place to settle down. As long as they didn¡¯t run into an especially dangerous situation, with his B class ability living for another ten years wouldn¡¯t be a problem, and with those time he would use it to teach Bian Bian many survival tactics. The reason he didn¡¯t teach her before was because he thought that even if it was currently the apocalypse, he still wanted Bian Bian to have a carefree childhood. The dividing line was five years old. After five, he would teach Bian Bian how to survive in the apocalypse. Alas, the plan didn¡¯t manage to come to be. When Lu Yu went out to search for supplies, because of his body, he accidentally fell and cut his hand on a piece of metal. Lu Yu didn¡¯t care too much about it initially because five years after the start of the apocalypse, the virus pretty much only existed on the bodies of zombies. After the virus attached itself to other objects, it would lose it¡¯s terrible effect. But he still quickly used alcohol to disinfect it. After observing it for two days, he stopped worrying because there were no signs of infection. The moment one was infected by the virus, they would change within twenty-four hours. Yet on the third day, the wound got infected. Lu Yu wasn¡¯t afraid of death. He had already lived for over seventy years and experienced enough. The one thing he was worried about was Bian Bian. She was still five and still so young, how was she to survive in this cruel apocalyptic world without his protection. He hadn¡¯t even managed to teach her how to survive during the end of the world. The horrific rate of the virus¡¯ infection caused Lu Yu to be unable to help Bian Bian arrange much. He could only quickly move her to the third floor, then seal the two floors above shut. When a mener was infected and turned into a zombie, their strength would exceed ordinary zombies. He couldn¡¯t let himself wander outside, because the moment he turned into a brainless zombie, there was a possibility that he would harm Bian Bian. ? Thus, Bian Bian became an orphan. Xiu Jin¡¯s sharp brows knitted tightly when he finished reading the introduction. He was born in the Empire¡¯s royal family and was the current emperor¡¯s youngest son, extremely pampered by the emperor. Not needing to inherit the throne, he was extremely interested in business and by relying on his genius level business minded brain, he forced open a path in the Empire¡¯s economy and became the richest amongst upperclass nobility. Such a plot made Xiu Jin slightly uncomfortable and oppressed after he finished reading it. After the introduction vanished, the image that appeared next was the scene of the little girl carrying the food and delivering it to her grandfather. The graphics were extremely clear and one could see the little lass¡¯s sad expression as well as the fat teardrops falling down. The man¡¯s heart hurt. Such an adorable little pudding should be be carefully held in their parent¡¯s palm and loved! That¡¯s why when Bian Bian suddenly slipped and fell, Xiu Jin was given a fright and automatically reached out to stop her. He then realised that his hand could stop the little girl¡¯s movement and managed to avoid having the little lass fall down. When he saw the little fella with a stunned look on her face, he laughed again, poking the little girl¡¯s cheek through the screen. So cute. The mini games these days are getting more and more realistic, no worse than holographic online games. In the Star Empire where holographic games have swept the empire, there were few people who would play these type of games that were only meant to kill time. Games like these would usually taken off the rack after a while when they realised that nobody was playing. Xiu Jin opened another section of the game, thinking that if he knew which company created it, he would directly buy the company or invest in it, yet didn¡¯t managed to find any information about the company. He was slightly confused but didn¡¯t think much of it. It could be because the company was too small. This game might¡¯ve been created anonymously and it wouldn¡¯t be too late to investigate afterwards. Carefully looking through the display, Xiu Jin looked through the game¡¯s functions. While he was researching the game, Bian Bian lifted her hand and touched her face. Those large eyes that still had a tinge of red after crying were full of confusion. She carefully picked up the little teddy bear, whispering softly, ¡°Grey Grey, something seems to have touched my face just now.¡± The little bear silently looked at her. It naturally couldn¡¯t answer her. Bang! The metal wall once again transmitted a thunderous crashing sound. Bian Bian subconsciously cowered and those tears that were stopped with much difficulty once again threatened to fall, but were force back by her as she bit her lips. Grandpa had told her before, even if Bian Bian was alone she had to be strong, so she couldn¡¯t cry anymore. Sniffling, Bian Bian turned around and entered the house, closing the door and locking it. All the door and windows in the house were reinforced by metal. Her stomach grumbled. Bian Bian was hungry too. Worried that her health would worsen because of malnutrition, every time Lu Yu searched for supplies he would pick and choose carefully. The most important item, milk powder had pretty much never stopped before. But milk powder wasn¡¯t easy to find. Bian Bian¡¯s milk powder supply had stopped before Lu Yu was infected. It was in the process of finding milk powder for Bian Bian that Lu Yu had been infected, and that was also the reason he fell and even cut his hand. Of course, he wasn¡¯t going to tell her that. Bian Bian was never picky about food and would eat whatever he gave, but there was also one problem; Lu Yu had taken too good care of her. He raised her just as if they were living in a normal world, thus causing her stomach to turn very delicate. Even if they were eating instant noodles Lu Yu would still try to find a way to make it taste delicious and healthy. After he got infected, Bian Bian didn¡¯t managed to get to eat warm food. There was a gas stove that Lu Yu had found for the house and Bian Bian knew how to use it, but because Lu Yu was afraid that the kitchen stove would explode in a freak accident, he had modified it to suit his height. Bian Bian wasn¡¯t tall enough and even if she stood on an extra stool, it was still easy for her to splash the soup on herself. The first time she used a pot to cook noodles, Bian Bian accidentally fell while climbing up the chair, but thankfully the water was cold so she was only hurt by the fall and had no other injuries. After that Bian Bian didn¡¯t dare to enter the kitchen anymore. She would either eat bread or cook instant noodles when she was hungry and drink water when she was thirsty. Her stomach lining was fairly delicate, and in the beginning it couldn¡¯t tolerate anything she ate, with everything that went in puked out. After that she learnt from it, and by slowly eating bit by bit, she no longer vomited. Only, her body started losing weight at a visible rate. When Lu Yu was here, Bian Bian was raised very well by him and was fair and tender, like a little ball of snow, completely different from how she was now. Grandpa had said to her before that no matter what she heard, she wasn¡¯t allowed to open the door and go out. She was very obedient and had been staying in the house till today, when all the food was finished. She decided to gather her courage and copied the way grandpa walked outside to search for food. Bian Bian took out the cleanly washed cartoon cup, and taking the bottle of water, with one of her tiny hands on the bottle cap, twisted it for so long her palms were bright red before finally being able to open it. The unscrewed bottle cap in her hands made the little girl laugh happily and she blew on her red palms till the pain vanished, then finally slowly poured it into the cup, pouring two thirds of it out. Water must be saved and drank slowly. She sipped tiny mouthfuls of it, then started choosing between instant noodles and bread. She liked to eat bread more. Bread was soft and fragrant, but bread couldn¡¯t combat hunger, and every time after eating bread she would get hungry not long after, while instant noodles could keep her full a long time after eating it but didn¡¯t taste good. ¡°Grey Grey, should I choose noodles or bread?¡± Every time the little girl was hungry and had to eat, she would talk with the teddy bear and ask for its opinion. The little girl raised the bear¡¯s arms, secretly pointing towards the bread. ¡°Okie, Grey Grey chose the bread too, you¡¯re thinking the same thing as I am.¡± She happily listened to the little bear¡¯s opinion and reached out to tear open the bread¡¯s packaging, drinking a bit of the water in the cup before starting to eat it bit by bit. Her eyes curved into crescent moons as she smiled happily. Seeing the way the little fella held the bread while not bearing to eat it made Xiu Jin¡¯s heart squeeze painfully. In the Empire, instant noodles were only eaten by the criminals with the most crimes as punishment. As for those pieces of bread that one only needed a glance to know of its nonexistent nutrition value, not even the poorest would eat those. Even if she was only his in-game daughter, how could his seventh royal highness let his daughter eat this kind of trash food? Xiu Jin had just looked through the game and found that it had a market, which meant that he could purchase things there. And so, without a moment of hesitation, Xiu Jin opened the market and saw a ¡®Food¡¯ section. Though after tapping on it, his finger immediately froze. Other than the first image ¡®Red Apple¡¯, no other image was lit up. The rest were all grey and he wasn¡¯t able to do anything to them. Xiu Jin: ¡°¡­¡­¡± What kind of game is this, he couldn¡¯t even buy something for his child to eat?! Xiu Jin nearly smashed his newly bought bath tub in a fury. In the end he could only tap on the red apple. At least it was better than nothing. He should at least be able to buy a bunch of it for her right? The ¡°+¡± image below the red apple wouldn¡¯t react no matter what he did. And so he understood, he could only buy one. Taking a deep breath, Xiu Jin emotionlessly spent five star dollars to buy a single red apple. As someone whose purchases would never amount any lower than ten thousand star dollars, he glared at the five star dollars for a long time. This was insulting him okay! After the successful purchase, the image of the red apple turned grey. ¡°¡­¡­¡± Fine, you¡¯re the best. ??? Xiu Jin hurriedly put the red apple on the table. At this moment, a pointy screw rolled in. That was the smart butler. It said, ¡°Your Highness, you¡¯ve already been in the water for twenty seven minutes and thirty four seconds. If you continue staying in the tub your skin will start wrinkling.¡± The moment Xiu Jin heard that, he hurriedly lifted his hands to take a look. Indeed, his hands were already starting to turn white, and so he hurriedly switched off the ly-set, quickly standing up in the bathtub. ¡°Is my back wrinkled?¡± The screw on the ground moved slightly. ¡°Apologies your highness, I currently do not have eyes and can¡¯t see.¡± Xiu Jin: ¡°¡­¡­¡± ??? Bian Bian was nibbling on the bread when all of a sudden, she heard a soft ¡°dong¡± and immediately looked up to see a big red apple in front of her. The apple was half the size of her head. Bian Bian was dumbfounded. ¦×(£à?¡ä)¦× The author has something to say: Gold Bashing Daddy No. 1: So angry, can¡¯t spend my money! come back tomorrow for the next chapter ~~ posting 12am Rome time :> CH 3 Bian Bian was given a fright. Her hand shook and the bread fell onto the ground. She hurriedly jumped off the chair to pick it up, then, tightly holding the bread, she went over to look at the big apple on the table with an afraid and nervous and curious heart. Bian Bian had eaten apples before. That was something grandpa had used supplies to trade for, which was also how she knew what an apple looked like. But in her memory, apples were small, plus the apple¡¯s skin would have some freckles and was even wrinkly and didn¡¯t looked nice. She had never seen such a large and good looking apple before. Grey Grey was still on the table. Bian Bian looked left and right, then continued to stare at the apple for a few seconds, making sure that the apple wouldn¡¯t suddenly start ¡°moving¡± before finally mustering up the courage to snatch the teddy bear on the table away. Then she hugged the little bear and retreated over two meters away, still staring at the large apple. Though Bian Bian was young, she was very clever. The door and windows were all closed and there was only her and Bian Bian in the house. She had been quietly eating bread just now and didn¡¯t do anything, so why would a large apple suddenly appear out of nowhere. Her little brain couldn¡¯t understand no matter how hard she thought. Then Bian Bian suddenly remembered the incident with her shifting down the staircase. Her little cheeks were puffed full of confusion. ¡°Grey Grey, I¡¯m kinda afraid.¡± The little girl tightly hugged the little bear as she wanted to look away from the apple, yet her eyes couldn¡¯t help staying on the large apple on the table. ¡°But, this apple is so pretty.¡± The most important thing was that, Bian Bian was smelling a sweet and fragrant scent in the air, and the scent was coming from the apple. Her original distance after ¡°running away¡± from the apple was two metres, but after a while of observation and realising that the apple was still staying on the table and not moving, plus nothing out of the ordinary was appearing in the house, her feet involuntarily started moving forwards. The apple hadn¡¯t moved even when she was already next to the table. Bian Bian was only half a head taller than the table. Getting on her tiptoes, she reached out a small hand to poke the big apple slightly. Then she immediately retracted it. ¡°It didn¡¯t bite me.¡± Bian Bian lowered her head to tell the little bear. ¡°It seems real.¡± The five year old little girl didn¡¯t understand how the big apple appeared, but after checking, she started being really happy. In the past when going out with grandpa, they would occasionally find things while walking around. Grandpa said that it was theirs if they found it, and that she could take it. That¡¯s why, when a big apple appeared on the table, in her house, she thought, if all that was counted in, then it could be considered hers? ¡°Then can I eat it?¡± The little girl asked Grey Grey. After a few seconds, Bian Bian used a finger to press the little bear¡¯s head. The bear nodded, so, after receiving Grey Grey¡¯s agreement, Bian Bian climbed up the chair again, only able to pick the big apple up after using both hands. The apple¡¯s unique scent tempted Bian Bian, making the little girl who had only been able to eat instant noodles for one month straight nearly start drooling. She didn¡¯t eat it immediately though, instead carried the apple into the washroom. Then, stepping onto a stool, she placed the apple in the basin and turned on the tap. ¡ª¡ª¡ªThe reason Lu Yu decided to move into this place was because the tap water supply didn¡¯t stop. Though unclear of the reason, after some testing he found that the tap water didn¡¯t contain any viruses and could be used. Bian Bian was taught by grandpa to be clean ever since she could remember things to avoid illness from entering from the mouth. That¡¯s why the apple naturally had to be washed before being eating. It took quite a bit of effort for Bian Bian to wash such a large apple, but with much effort, she finally managed to wash every single area properly. The sense of accomplishment filled Bian Bian as she held the washed apple and returned to the kitchen table, then went to the kitchen to retrieve a fruit knife. She imitated the way grandpa cut things, carefully cutting a slice out. The little girl gave it a nibble and immediately after her grape like eyes started shining. She happily said, ¡°Grey Grey, it so so delicious, even yummier than the apple I had before.¡± A child¡¯s memory was etched very deeply. Bian Bian felt that this was the most delicious apple she had ever eaten. She ate three slices in a row before restraining herself. Grandpa taught her before that no matter what it was that she was eating or doing, one must practice self-restraint and learn to not go too far. She didn¡¯t understand what it meant to ¡°not go too far¡±, but she listened to grandpa¡¯s words. She couldn¡¯t be greedy. Then Bian Bian remembered that every time grandpa found a fruit, he would use a knife to peel the skin off. She ate the apple flesh while gramps ate the apple peel. Bian Bian didn¡¯t understand, so she asked grandpa why. Grandpa said the he liked eating apple peels and that apple peels were even yummier. She thought, the apple was so big, there definitely would be a lot of apple peel to peel and grandpa could eat that. Plus this apple was even yummier than the apples she had eaten before in the past. Grandpa like apple peels, she believed that this apple¡¯s peel would definitely be yummier than the ones in the past. Her eyes lit up. Bian Bian once again held the fruit knife and started slowly peeling the apple. The knife was slightly too large for her, so she peeled very slowly, and even ___ ¡°It¡¯s alright, grandpa will like it.¡± Bian Bian peeled very seriously. This was her first time peeling something, no matter if it was the knife or the fruit, both were bigger than her hand. Suddenly, she accidentally slid the blade over her finger and immediately released it in pain. The knife fell to the ground with a clang. The cut started bleeding, and because of the pain, tears were about to fall from Bian Bian¡¯s eyes. So painful, it hurts as much as falling off the chair that one time. The sudden injury made Bian Bian feel helpless. A few seconds passed before she could recall how grandpa dealt with her injuries in the past. She first used a towel to cover the cut, but in the process some traces of blood was left on the apple peel. Then she remembered that there were plasters. Grandpa had used it on her before, he¡¯d even said that after putting a plaster on the wound it wouldn¡¯t hurt anymore. Recalling it, Bian Bian ran into the washroom and pulled open the lowest drawer, taking out a small first-aid kit inside the drawer. This was one of the toys that Lu Yu prepared it for her. Having found the plaster, Bian Bian peeled away the tissue that was already completely dyed red with blood, clumsily pasting the plaster on. Crystalline tears were still hanging on her long lashes. The little girl started blowing on her finger, as if it would hurt less this way. ¡°Grey Grey, I¡¯m alright¡­¡± After returning to the kitchen, Bian Bian happily waved her finger at the little bear, her voice still bearing the nasally sound one had after crying. She said, ¡°Look, it doesn¡¯t hurt one bit.¡± After getting injured, she didn¡¯t dare to peel the apple anymore and so found a bag and placed the apple peel inside. She didn¡¯t see that one peel had been stained with her blood. ¡°Grey Grey, lets go deliver the apple peel to grandpa.¡± Picking up the little bear, Bian Bian once again started walking towards the fourth floor. The sound of collisions had already stopped. Bian Bian knew that grandpa had turned into one of those terrifying monsters, but it was okay. He was still grandpa and she wasn¡¯t scared. There were still three steps left before she arrived. Bian Bian started jumping with joy because she had gotten to eat bread and an apple today and even drank clean water. Grandpa also got to eat bread and clean water, and now there was even the apple peel that he liked. In the past, it was grandpa who found food for her to eat, while now she had grown up and could find food for him to eat. Bian Bian was very happy. But soon she became at a loss of what to do. Because, just at this moment, her body was suddenly shifted back to the third floor¡¯s doorway, just like how when she had tripped, she was immediately moved to the third floor entrance. ? Xiu Jin carefully rubbed a layer of body oil all over his body, only changing into his pyjamas and leaving the bathroom after making sure that every inch of his body was covered in it. Rarely able to find the time to rest at home, he then lazily lied on the sofa, instructing the smart butler to prepare breakfast. ¡°No meat for today, I seem to have grown slightly fatter recently and want to lose weight.¡± He said, ¡°Make a few diet dishes, light dishes.¡± The smart butler obeyed. Xiu Jin stopped him again. ¡°Even though I¡¯m not eating meat, try to make the vegetarian dishes taste like meat.¡± ¡°Yes your highness.¡± Even when facing this kind of strange request, the smart butler still obliged without hesitation. The seventh prince who had finally finished all of his matters finally remembered of the new daughter that he was raising and hurriedly turned on the ly-set. But the moment he looked, his heart started hurting badly for her. The child actually hurt herself while peeling the apple! When he saw her try to hold in the pain yet unable to hold in her tears as she cared for her wound, he quickly went to look for a medical kit in the game. Alas, the entire market section only had one choice, everything else inside was grey. He was unable to do anything and could only watch on. Suddenly, a small paragraph appeared: Bian Bian thought that Lu Yu liked to eat apple peels, and so peeled the apple to give them to him. Xiu Jin: ¡°¡­¡­¡± Then, he saw the little girl place the bloodied apple peel into the bag, ready to give it to her grandpa. Zombies feasted on blood; he could think of the consequences upon the bag¡¯s delivery with his toes. Xiu Jin wanted to stop her but it was a pity the screen didn¡¯t give him any choices. The little girl was already on the steps. This was the daughter he¡¯d just started raising, how could he just let her die so easily. With no other solution, he could only use the previous solution, which was to bring her back to the entrance. Bian Bian¡¯s little head looked around. Staring in the direction of the stairway that led from the third floor to the second for a while, she still didn¡¯t have any new discoveries, so, after a moment of hesitation, tightly holding the teddy bear¡¯s arms, she carried the bag and once again stepped foot onto the staircase. Then¡ª¡ª She was once again shifted to the third floor doorway. Three tries later, Bian Bian could finally hold it back anymore no longer and was frightened to tears. hey, reupload cuz my dumbass accidentally deleted¡­ wow see this is why I leave backups for lmao btw yallll.. do tell if there¡¯s anything with my TL that can improve, I¡¯m not perfect and u know it oh and mener = ability user|ability pronunciation = however you like CH 4 When children receive a fright, their first reaction is to cry. However, though already scared to tears, Bian Bian thought of her grandpa upstairs. She didn¡¯t want grandpa to hear her crying. Thus, even if she was scared to tears, Bian Bian still cried soundlessly. She stood at the doorway with a raggedy little teddy in her hand, bean sized tears falling from her eyes as she tried to stop herself from crying out loud. Xiu Jin¡¯s heart crumpled at the sight. But the next second, he sighed in relief. The little fella was probably too frightened and didn¡¯t dare to walk upstairs again. She held the apple peel and walked back into the house, locking the door. Then she jogged back into her bedroom and buried herself in the blankets, hugging the bear as she shut her eyes. At this moment, a little speaker shaped icon popped up next to her head. When Xiu Jin tapped on it, a choked up child¡¯s voice that had a bit of fear in it rang out beside his ears. ¡°Bian Bian is very brave, Bian Bian is not scared¡­¡± Xiu Jin immediately understood that this was Bian Bian¡¯s voice. While his heart ached as he listened, he still couldn¡¯t help but sigh in wonder at how realistic the game was. It was bringing him deeper into the game. ¡°Since you can make it so realistic, why don¡¯t you open the other functions huh. Everything¡¯s grey, how am I even supposed to play.¡± Thinking of how his actions just now had scared Bian Bian, Xiu Jin didn¡¯t dare to help his child cover his blanket anymore¡­ she¡¯s already feeling scared right now, if he made another move, wouldn¡¯t she feel even more afraid? Xiu Jin could only hold himself back. In the marketplace, other than the column for food, there was also clothes, ornaments, shoes, as well as weapons. Xiu Jin had gone into every single column to take a look, but everything else was grey, not a single one was lit up. ¡°What am I supposed to use to raise my child?!¡± Just as he spoke, as if sensing his rage, a system notification suddenly popped out¡ª¡ª ¡¾As you and Bian Bian¡¯s intimacy points haven¡¯t reached the needed amount, the ¡®Food¡¯ section in the marketplace will only provide ¡®Red Apple¡¯ for you, limited to one a day. Should you wish to provide Bian Bian with even more food, please increase your intimacy points.¡¿ ¡¾Current intimacy points: -10¡¿ Xiu Jin: ¡°¡­¡­¡± Are you crazy?! ¡°I didn¡¯t even abuse my daughter, why is it in the negatives?¡± Xiu Jin was starting to get upset. He felt as if the game was against him and immediately thought of deleting the game. The system notification popped out once again: ¡¾Attention, your daughter is to be protected, not bullied. Bian Bian was given a fright, that¡¯s why the intimacy points are -10¡¿ Bully my ass. Which eyeball of yours caught me bullying my child?! Xiu Jin was furious and was just about to retort when he noticed something wrong¡ª¡ª First, he remembered how the child looked when she was frightened to tears. He truly did seem to be the cause. Second, this game was actually able to hear the words he said to the screen, and react? Xiu Jin grew suspicious and went out of the game to take a look at the icon. He didn¡¯t have remember downloading this game. Hold on. The scene of him meeting Kerfu earlier during the day flashed across his mind. Kerfu was a lower blood race member. In the Empire, other than humans, the first and biggest race, there were four other noble races. The dragon race, sea race, aerial race, and the blood race. The blood race had the lowest position among the four major races, and lower blood race members couldn¡¯t even be compared to ordinary human citizens. However Xiu Jin didn¡¯t look at a person¡¯s race to make friends. He was very spontaneous; if he liked them then he would befriend, and if not, then they could scram. Him and Kerfu were university classmates. As the latter¡¯s family was very poor, he couldn¡¯t even afford to buy enzyme inhibitors¡ª¡ª the blood race fed on blood and were afraid of the sun, coming out during the dark and resting during the day. Afterwards, humans managed to create a sort of drug that allowed the blood race to come out during the day. For the drug, the human race and the blood race set up a treaty, and the blood race became a noble race that relied on the human race. Not every bloodling could afford to buy the enzyme. This kind of drug was created with precious materials and was very pricy. Plus, they had to consume a vial once every three months. Perhaps the average bloodling could afford a vial, however they wouldn¡¯t be able to afford it in the long run when everything added up together. Xiu Jin saw how pitiful Kerfu was, and so gifted him a few vials as a sign of friendship, helping Kerfu get past the toughest days. Ever since then, Kerfu became Xiu Jin¡¯s follower. When Xiu Jin started doing business, Kerfu naturally became Xiu Jin¡¯s subordinate and helped him with a lot of matters. Xiu Jin had been extremely troubled by some business related matters recently. Today, Kerfu told him that he¡¯d found a fun game that could help relieve him of his stress, but Xiu Jin didn¡¯t think anything of it. Thinking back on it, could this be the game? Xiu Jin immediately contacted Kerfu to ask him what was the situation. Quickly, a holographic image of Kerfu appeared in the living room. This was an extremely handsome looking man. He was wearing a suit with no wrinkles to be found, had deep set unusually icy green eyes. His skin was stark white and had long hair that were completely swept back and set with hairspray. The stereotypical blood race look. ¡°Your highness.¡± He bowed respectfully towards Xiu Jin. Xiu Jin straightforwardly asked, ¡°Is this game on my ly-set downloaded by you?¡± Kerfu¡¯s face immediately revealed a sly smile. ¡°Is your highness satisfied with it? This is a game that was chosen from amongst thousands of others and can be customised to your likings.¡± Xiu Jin gave an ungraceful eye-roll. ¡°What are you talking about! What customisations?¡± Kerfu froze, then continued to explain, ¡°The game that I found for you can, according to the image set in your mind, be changed into the image of the ideal girl that you like. You can go into the game and have a date with her.¡± You can also do anything. Xiu Jin: ¡°???¡± ¡°Your highness, is the game set up not going smoothly?¡± Seeing the expressions on Xiu Jin¡¯s face, Kerfu continued to ask, ¡°Please let me take a look, perhaps something went wrong during the process.¡± ¡°No need.¡± Xiu Jin refused resolutely. ¡°There are no problems, bye bye!¡± He ended the call and stared at Bian Bian¡¯s adorable little face. The game Kerfu downloaded for him was meant for him to fantasise out a woman to kill some time, yet in the end what appeared was a little girl. If it was known to Kerfu, he¡¯d probably stamp a ¡®pervert¡¯ on him in his mind. Xiu Jin would absolutely not allow for his image in his subordinate¡¯s mind to be twisted. So¡­ Bian Bian was an automatic byproduct of his imagination? But he¡¯d never imagined a child before though. Or was it possible that he actually yearned for a daughter in the deepest abyss of his mind, that¡¯s why Bian Bian was created? The more he thought the more Xiu Jin felt that that was the case. He hurriedly opened the game. In the screen, the little fella was still curled up in her blankets, in a tiny ball. The system notified: [Bian Bian is currently sleeping soundly.] Xiu Jin was currently brought even further into his father role. This was the daughter that he ¡®imagined¡¯, he had to let her live a better life as soon as possible. Since the game could sense if thoughts, Xiu Jin directly said, ¡°How can I increase my intimacy points with her?¡± System: [The decision is up to Bian Bian.] Xiu Jin: ¡°¡­¡° ¡°Can I communicate directly with my child?¡± [No.] ¡°Can she see me?¡± [No.] ¡°¡­What can I do right now.¡± [After twenty-four hours, you can buy a another red apple.] Which also meant that, he wasn¡¯t able to do anything aye? Ugh! Trash game! The seventh prince who was unable to bash his daughter with gold and buy buy buy was furious. The smart butler was back in human form and rolled a dining cart in. He placed the vegetarian diet meal that was supposed to taste like meat onto the dining table. ¡°Your highness, please have a nice meal.¡± A total of six dishes and a soup, plated exquisitely, satisfying all six senses, was displayed on the table. The smart butler¡¯s face shows slight pride and smugness. ¡°Your highness, all these dishes are vegetarian. Please have a taste and see whether or not it tastes like meat. If not, I will renew my system storage and recreate another set for you.¡± As it finished speaking, it noticed it¡¯s master using a sort of ¡°¡­¡± expression to look at the vegetarian dishes. After a round of verification with its database, the smart butler found that the expression on its master¡¯s face could be summarised easier by two words: intense hatred. The smart butler was stupefied. Why would the diet vegetarian dishes it made cause his royal highness to feel such deep hatred? ¡°My precious daughter is so pitiful that she can only eat an apple, yet I get to eat all kinds of delicacies¡­ are there fathers like this!¡± His seventh royal highness uttered brokenheartedly, ¡°Bring everything away. From today onwards, for every day that I don¡¯t get to give Bian Bian something good to eat, I will accompany her.¡± Smart butler: ¡°???¡± It wanted to ask if his highness¡¯s brain died or something, but its internal programs stopped it from saying such disrespectful words. Xiu Jin had already decided to share joy and sorrow with his daughter, and ignoring the expression on his smart butler¡¯s face that looked like its system had crashed, he turned around and returned to his luxurious bedroom, starting looking around his precious daughter¡¯s room to see if there was anything he could help her with. After searching for a long time, he finally found that his precious daughter had been completely nestled in the blanket the whole time. Wouldn¡¯t she feel horribly stuffy. Previously, he didn¡¯t dare to move because he was afraid of scaring her. Now that she was asleep, as the father, he could finally be of use. Xiu Jin quickly used a finger to carefully pull the blanket. After a while, the little girl¡¯s soft face was revealed, and if one took a closer look they could see the tear streaks on her cheeks. She was hugging the little teddy bear tightly in her arms. Noticing that the little bear¡¯s arm was nearly completely torn off, Xiu Jin¡¯s heart moved as he remembered previously when the little fella had puled open the drawer, he seemed to have seen a sewing kit. Xiu Jin wasn¡¯t too sure, and was just about to pull open the drawer, however the ly-set display showed that as the drawer was too small compared to his finger. He was unable to move it. Unless the screen was enlarged. Xiu Jin immediately called over the smart butler. ¡°Go next door to third brother¡¯s and bring the holographic projector he¡¯s got here.¡± The smart butler replied, ¡°Your highness, I can¡¯t do it.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t think I¡¯m unaware that you¡¯ve long taken a fancy to third brother¡¯s butler. Hurry up, or I¡¯ll get third bro to change her.¡± Who says that robots didn¡¯t have love? The smart butler could only silently obey. As for the moment when his third royal highness returned and found that his precious holographic projector was gone, it¡¯d just drag seventh highness out then. Robots will not carry the pot! The smart butler was very efficient and brought the VR headset back after a short while. After a bit of fiddling, Xiu Jin managed to project the game interface out. He then shooed away the curious smart butler. Through the projector¡¯s projection, Bian Bian¡¯s room appeared in Xiu Jin¡¯s bedroom practically true to size. It was as if he was standing in her room, only, compared to the room, he was like a giant, and had to bend down in order to not bump into the ceiling. Xiu Jin squatted down next to the bed, observing his precious daughter up close. How adorable. He used a finger to rub his darling daughter¡¯s soft face. Unfortunately there was no real touch involved and he was unable to actually feel her cheeks, making him feel very regretful. Xiu Jin then pulled open the drawer nearby and took out the sewing kit. The seventh prince who had never threaded a needle before took a while to get the thread through the eye of the needle. Next, he took the bear out from Bian Bian¡¯s hold. To get himself get more comfortable, Xiu Jin decided to just sit on the floor, starting to awkwardly sew the teddy bear¡¯s arm together. ¡­ Waking up, Bian Bian rubbed her eyes as she sat up on the bed. The sky outside had already darkened. Just as she was about to get out of bed, the little bear rolled off her body. She immediately reached out to grab it. But then the little hand froze in midair, then slowly retracted. The teddy bear¡¯s arm had been sewn together with red thread, however the stitches were crooked and uneven with cotton still revealed outside. The line was like a large red centipede, not the average ugly, and completely ruined the teddy bear¡¯s already not very high beauty. At the same time, Xiu Jin, who was secretly monitoring his darling daughter¡¯s reaction, saw a cold system¡¯s notification appear on the screen: [Intimacy points -50] The smile on papa Xiu¡¯s face shattered. CH 5 Xiu Jin was furious. He even felt a bit of grievance in his rage. He was angry at the game¡¯s notification; he still thought that this game was secretly against him. What he was aggrieved about was that¡ª¡ª the dad very considerately helped his daughter sew her favourite teddy bear up, yet why didn¡¯t she appreciate his gesture? ¡°Why is it -50?¡± Xiu Jin raged at the game. Of course, he couldn¡¯t blame his child. ¡°Why don¡¯t you dig a reason out! -10 instantly turning into -50 and you still have the cheek to act like you¡¯re dead and not say anything?!¡± The system took a long time before squeezing out a sentence: [Do you really not know why it¡¯s -50?] Xiu Jin: ¡°¡­¡± This system is scolding him, right? Huh? It¡¯s scolding him right! The most loved prince in the Empire¡¯s imperial clan, the seventh prince, having a high status, he had been bathing in a honey pot since birth and no one had ever dared to scold him. Not even the emperor could bear to scold him, yet now he was being scolded by some system?! Xiu Jin wanted to continue arguing with the system, however, he noticed a speaker icon popping up above to Bian Bian¡¯s head and so couldn¡¯t bother talking to the system anymore. Tapping on the icon to open it, his precious daughter¡¯s soft voice rang out, ¡°Grey Grey, I feel like there¡¯s a person that I can¡¯t see in the house.¡± Xiu Jin was shocked, then delighted. He said with pride, ¡°Now that¡¯s my daughter, she is just that clever!¡± She knew so quickly that there¡¯s ¡®a person¡¯ in the house. Since baby daughter knows of an invisible person¡¯s existence, in the future, no matter what he did the little fella would decide not be afraid anymore. Perfect! The seventh prince was too happy to bother with the system. He was going to brush intimacy points now. When he managed to brush it to the needed amount, he could then buy for his child all the delicious food. Precious, wait for daddy to buy food for you and make you white and chubby into the prettiest little princess ever. The next second, he heard his precious daughter¡¯s trembling voice say, ¡°Will he, will he eat me up?¡± Xiu Jin: ¡°¡­¡± Is dad really so scary?! The little fella only said this sentence and stopped speaking afterwards. She then sat on the bed in a daze with her head lowered. Xiu Jin was unable to see Bian Bian¡¯s small face and didn¡¯t know what his child was thinking at this moment. What to do. What could he do to destroy this huge misconception his darling¡¯s got about him!? The system was probably afraid the Xiu Jin was going to ¡®do¡¯ something again, and once again gave a notification: [Bian Bian is currently facing extreme fear. For her wellbeing, please do not do anything.] ¡ª¡ªthe two words ¡°do not¡± were even bolded and written in red, extremely eye-catching. Xiu Jin: ¡°¡­¡± Bian Bian was fiddling with her small hands, trying to calm the fear in her heart. She had gone through serious consideration before coming up with the conclusion that ¡°there was an invisible existence in the house¡±. Bian Bian wasn¡¯t a newborn who knew nothing. A five-year-old child already had their unique thought pattern, not to mention Bian Bian had always been very clever. That invisible person caught her when she fell, and then gave her a large apple. He didn¡¯t let her go and meet grandpa, and now he¡¯d even sewn Grey Grey¡¯s arm together. Bian Bian was feeling very afraid. She felt that the invisible person was in the house watching her. Bian Bian remembered, once, grandpa and she met a strange fat uncle on the road. He held a yummy candy to give to Bian Bian and even wanted to hug Bian Bian but was chased (beaten) away by grandpa. Grandpa said that that person wasn¡¯t a good person. Some baddies liked to catch children and eat them, and that fat uncle was once of those baddies who specialised in catching children and eating them. Him a candy to her and being nice to her was to cheat her trust. And so Bian Bian kept in her mind that, no stranger would be nice to another person for no reason. If a person was suddenly nice to her, they had other intentions. Thus, after putting all these together in her heart, Bian Bian came out with a conclusion¡ª¡ª the invisible person wanted to eat her. She didn¡¯t dare to raise her head, neither did she dare to speak. She just silently stared at her hand, thinking, if she was eaten, then no one would be able to send food to grandpa. Grandpa would starve. What could she do to let that person not eat her? Bian Bian carefully gave her hand a pinch. She suddenly understood why that person would give her a big apple and even not allow her to give the apple peel to grandpa. She was too skinny; he wanted to fatten her up, that way she¡¯d be even more delicious. Just like the little chick Bian Bian had had before. It was also because her luck was good. Last year, because of the cold weather, Lu Yu brought Bian Bian southwards and passed by a farm. It was a complete mess in there. There were still some white bones, making it obvious that some scuffles had happened here before. Originally thinking that they wouldn¡¯t be able to find anything, in the end, because Bian Bian was curious, she wormed into a dog hole and scared Lu Yu into having cold sweat completely drench his back, afraid that something would happen to her. In the end¡ª¡ª When Bian Bian crawled out from the dog hole with her soft and white little face completely dirtied, she brought out a chicken egg from behind her as if presenting a treasure, saying adorably, ¡°Grandpa, an egg.¡± Lu Yu managed to gleam a trace of life from this egg. Afterwards, under Bian Bian¡¯s careful protection, the egg hatched. In reality however, it hatched because Lu Yu secretly used his mener to help the egg. Lu Yu carefully protected his granddaughter¡¯s childhood and tried to let her have a pure childhood. However, he would still teach her basic survival knowledge as she grew. For example, that chickens were domesticated fowls and were the food of humans. That¡¯s why they could eat the chicken when it grew up. After the chicken grew up, Lu Yu made half of it into soup and made braised chicken with the other half. The two ate it very happily. Grandpa had also said that the reason chicken meat was so delicious was because they usually fed it well, fed it fat¡­ * Bian Bian hugged the little bear again. After grandpa left, Grey Grey was her only friend. No matter if Grey Grey¡¯s paw was sew very uglily by the person. After hugging Grey Grey, Bian Bian wasn¡¯t as afraid anymore. During those days that grandpa wasn¡¯t here, she was very scared in the beginning, but slowly got used to it. Her little brain operated swiftly¡ª¡ª that person wanted to raise her into a fatty before eating her, so he wouldn¡¯t eat her now. She could figure out a way to escape. Following beside grandpa, Bian Bian experienced many an escape before. Grandpa said that running away was not an embarrassment, they were being responsible for their own life. Of course, these knowledge were too deep, Bian Bian didn¡¯t truly understand their meaning. However, she instinctively understood the meaning of ¡®escape¡¯. B class meners were very strong during the start of the apocalypse. However, afterwards when meners were everywhere in the world, B class was no longer that strong, not to mention Lu Yu was an elderly mener. His physical capabilities limited how strong his mener could get. Plus with Bian Bian with him, he would usually never chose to fight, and instead bringing Bian Bian with him as they ran was the usual. ? As the last ray of sunlight disappeared, the room darkened too. Just as Xiu Jin, who had been silently watching his daughter was still trying to figure out why she wasn¡¯t turning on the lights, the little girl sitting on the bed moved. She got off the bed and walked to her bedside table, picking up a small lotus flower-shaped bowl with a thin needle in the middle of it. Xiu Jin couldn¡¯t figure out what this thing was for. Until Bian Bian pulled out a paper box from under her bed that was filled with candles. He then finally reacted; the little lotus bowl was a candleholder. Bian Bian took out a candlestick and pushed it hard down onto the candleholder then used a lighter to light it up. She then placed it on her bedside table, all her movements so smooth and practised that it made Xiu Jin¡¯s eyes sour. ¡°¡­¡± This place doesn¡¯t even have electricity! Stupid game, abusing my daughter! Next, she drew all the curtains in the house shut. ¡ª¡ª the curtains had all been changed by Lu Yu. They were now a layer of metal plates and could be moved with a switch. When the curtains were down, not a single glimpse of the lights in the house could be seen from outside. The machine was slightly laggy and needed to be started a few more times. Lu Yu didn¡¯t have much time left back then and didn¡¯t manage to refine it, that¡¯s why Bian Bian needed to pull on it a few more times to start it up. Xiu Jin¡¯s hands were itching to just help his precious daughter pull the curtains shut, but at the thought of the system¡¯s warning as well as the shiny -50 floating on the top right corner, he knew that keeping still was the best thing to do right now. It was dark outside, he couldn¡¯t continue scaring his darling daughter. Hold it. He had to hold it. Finally, Bian Bian managed to shut all the curtains. There was only a burning candle in the house giving off a small glow, dimly lighting the house. It was completely silent. Bian Bian was already used to this kind of dim lighting and silence. Except there was that invisible person. She had been carrying the little bear while she was doing those tasks¡ª¡ª Grey Grey gave her courage. It¡¯s okay, she¡¯d cheer herself on. With Grey Grey here, she wasn¡¯t afraid. Bian Bian held the candle as she went into the bathroom and carefully placed it on a rack to the right, then placed the bear on there too. Stepping on a stool, she borrowed the light from the candle to start washing her face and brushing her teeth. Even if there was an invisible baddie who wanted to eat her, she couldn¡¯t not wash her face because of that. Bian Bian had already naturally changed ¡®that invisible person¡¯ into ¡®invisible baddie¡¯. As she was washing, Bian Bian suddenly stopped moving, her little face sinking into deep contemplation. If she made herself get dirty and smelly, will the baddie abandon her because of that, and thus not eat her? But¡­ The little girl who had been thought to love cleanliness since young by Lu Yu bit her fingers undecidedly. In the end, she followed her heart and still washed herself clean. Cause she suddenly remembered that, if the baddie wanted to eat her up, why would he care whether she was dirty or not? Wasn¡¯t the chick they had dirty too in the beginning. She and grandpa still ate it afterwards. Thus, she couldn¡¯t make herself smelly. After washing up, Bian Bian finally carried the little bear and the candleholder back into her bedroom and put the candle holder onto the bedside table. Hesitating for a bit, she didn¡¯t blow it out in the end. In the past, to save candles, Bian Bian only had the candlelit the entire night for the first few nights after grandpa left. After she got used to it, she started to blow the candle out before sleeping. That way, she could save candles. But tonight¡­ Bian Bian tightened her hold on her little bear¡¯s paws, not blowing the candle out. She wriggled into the blankets, even burying her head inside. Bian Bian was plotting in her mind. She would first run to the supermarket she went to earlier during the day. The baddie would leave after not being able to find her. When he leaves, she would then return home. This time she would remember to lock the door properly and not let the baddie come in. Just now, Bian Bian had been thinking that it was the moment she had gone out to search for food that had allowed the baddie to secretly follow her in. Amid annoyance, worry, fear, as well as various other complicated intertwining emotions, the sleepiness that children naturally had finally overwhelmed Bian Bian. She fell asleep in uneasiness. * Seeing that his precious daughter had fallen asleep, Xiu Jin started reflecting. Bian Bian was still a child and children were different from adults. Adults could very quickly differentiate the difference between good and bad, but children could not. Thus, not only would his actions make Bian Bian happy, instead it would make her feel no sense of security, thus causing her to feel fear and misunderstand the meaning behind his actions. He had to change a method, He had to first let his darling daughter know that he wouldn¡¯t eat her! Thinking, Xiu Jin suddenly had a spark on inspiration and started searching the room for some paper and pen. In this search, he managed to find a colour pencil in the corner. But he didn¡¯t find any paper. Xiu Jin: ¡°¡­¡± He wanted to walk towards the living room, but just as he walked to the doorway, he was blocked by an invisible medium. ¡ª¡ªXiu Jin could only interact with the things around Bian Bian. For example, Bian Bian was in the bedroom, so he could only interact with the things in her bedroom and was unable to enter the living room. Vice versa, when Bian Bian was in the living room, he would then only be able to touch the living room and was unable to go to other places like the bedroom. Though even if he was able to touch things, however, it would still feel as if he was wearing a thick pair of gloves, unable to glean any sense of reality. That was why he sewed the little bear up so uglily. ¡ª¡ª¡ªThe seventh prince refused to admit that his craftsmanship was bad. This was still much thanks to this set of holographic projector his third royal highness had; anything could appear and be projected out by it, and this was no ordinary projection, instead it was a hologram that one could enter. It was with this equipment that he was able to search in his daughter¡¯s room, otherwise, if he just relied on the ly-set, he was going to only be able to use his finger to do some simple actions. Alright then, never mind if there was no paper. Xiu Jin glanced at the white wall. He¡¯s got to be at least able to write on the wall right. Just as he was ready to write ¡®Bian Bian, I¡¯m your father¡¯, the tip of his pencil froze. He felt that this method wasn¡¯t that good because when the little fella woke up tomorrow, there was still the possibility of her getting a fright. He didn¡¯t want to see a notification showing how many points he lost again! ¡°Bian Bian my little darling, I¡¯m called Xiu Jin, I won¡¯t eat you. This is me, can I be friends with you?¡± After using a child¡¯s tone to write these words, Xiu Jin next began drawing a picture of himself on the wall. After drawing for ten minutes, he didn¡¯t feel too satisfied, and so spent another ten plus minutes fixing it. He took half an hour to finally finish the drawing. Xiu Jin carefully examined it, then glanced at the pencil in disdain. This pencil was off too low quality and could barely draw out 50% of his beauty. With an introduction as well as a portrait of him, his precious daughter shouldn¡¯t be frightened when she woke upright. Just as the thought flashed past his mind, the system¡¯s notification popped up: [Bian Bian cannot read.] Xiu Jin: ¡­ Xiu Jin: ¡­¡­¡­ Xiu Jin: ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ ?( ?¦Ø?) ¦× The author has something to say: Baby Bian Bian¡¯s troubles: how to let the baddie not eat me¡­ (trembling.jpg) Papa Xiu¡¯s troubles: how to let my baby not be afraid of me¡­ (life_is_hopeless.jpg) hai please clap for me, one update a day yo, and I even managed to maintain it for so long CH 6 Xiu Jin¡¯s enthusiasm towards being a father once again took a hit. He instantly grew discouraged. But luckily just at this moment, the smart butler reminded him outside the door, ¡°Your Highness, you have to enter the palace to meet the emperor tomorrow. It¡¯s now time to rest .¡± With the smart butler¡¯s interruption, Xiu Jin looked at the time and realised that he had been playing the game for hours. ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Got it.¡± Even though raising his daughter was an important task, meeting his father tomorrow was equally important, and so was¡­ A cold light flashed past Xiu Jin¡¯s eyes. He had to enter the palace tomorrow in his best state. Lifting a hand to touch his face, he felt that it was slightly dry. And so, while letting the smart butler help him prepare an essence mask, he shifted the wardrobe in his baby daughter¡¯s room slightly and covered up his writing and portrait. His precious daughter couldn¡¯t read. If she woke up and saw new ¡®symbols¡¯ and a ¡®drawing¡¯ on his wall¡­ thinking of his -50 intimacy points, Xiu Jin dared not risk finding out about the consequences. As for whether or not Bian Bian would realise that her wardrobe had moved after waking up, Xiu Jin had taken a careful look at the wardrobe. The words he¡¯d written were right beside the wardrobe so it had only moved around 20-50 centimetres. This was a short distance. A small child usually wouldn¡¯t notice these types of small details. After doing all that, Xiu Jin closed the game and started his nightly skincare routine. * It was a brand new day. Bian Bian had awoken amidst shaking and knew that this meant that the sky was now bright. Early in the morning for the past few days, there would always be shaking. Bian Bian didn¡¯t know what¡¯d happened, but she didn¡¯t dare to pull open the shades when it was shaking to look outside. Only after the shaking was over would she pull the windows open, welcoming the arrival of a brand new day. ¡°Grey Grey, good morning.¡± The little girl first changed the plaster on her finger, then carefully observed her surroundings. ¡°The baddie seems to have left.¡± If the baddie was here, then the things in the house were bound to have been moved. Bian Bian cleverly went to check the things she¡¯d brought back yesterday. She found that non of the food, water, instant noodles and bread, as well as candy were missing. Bian Bian deduced from this situation that the baddie had already left. She did not know why the bad guy left, but Bian Bian was delighted. That meant that she wouldn¡¯t get eaten. Was it because of the dream she had? Bian Bian bit her fingers and thought. She remembered that she seemed to have had a dream in which she met the baddie, then she and grandpa chased the baddie away. She could not remember anything else. Thinking of grandpa, the little girl quickly ran into the living room and found that the apple peel she put into the bag had completely dried. She couldn¡¯t give it to grandpa anymore. Bian Bian felt slightly upset. Next, she went to look at the slice of apple which had become full of pits after she tried to peel it. The original yellowish-white coloured apple had oxidised and its surface was completely greyed. It couldn¡¯t be eaten anymore. Bian Bian gulped as her brain automatically replayed how delicious the apple she¡¯d eaten yesterday was. But then she thought of how this was given to her by the baddie, and he wanted to get her fat before eating her. She wasn¡¯t supposed to be eating it. At that, Bian Bian no longer felt that it was a pity . The water poured yesterday wasn¡¯t finished, neither was the bread yesterday. Bian Bian picked up the remainder of the bread, drinking the cold mineral water as she started eating it bit by bit. The baddie had left, so she didn¡¯t need to go to the supermarket and hide. It was very dangerous outside, food needed to be finished sparingly. After finishing the bread, Bian Bian rubbed her flat stomach and looked at the other pieces of bread. In the end, she still managed to stop herself from eating them. However, she tore open a fruit candy. The sweet inside the wrapper was slightly melted. Bian Bian didn¡¯t waste it and licked it clean before flattening the plastic wrapper. The cartoon printing on the plastic wrapper was very cute and Bian Bian really liked it, so she decided to keep them in her little baggie. The sweet tangerine flavoured candy made Bian Bian¡¯s eyes turned into crescent shapes. She threw the dried apple peel and the oxidised apple slice into the bin, then pushed a chair to the door. A child¡¯s thought pattern was¡ª¡ª¡ª they would be safer if they used things to hold the door shut tighter. Bian Bian didn¡¯t only push a chair to block the front door, she even went into the kitchen and found an emptied can in a corner and filled with water. Next, she stuffed it into a bag, then hung it on the door handle. If there were people outside twisting the door handle, the bag would slide down and fall onto the ground, making a sound that she could hear. This was an idea Bian Bian just thought of. Once Bian Bian quietened down, the room would also follow suit and fall into silence too. Bian Bian actually didn¡¯t like this sort of silence, thus, she started cleaning. This was one of her ways to relieve boredom. Being shut in the room to live on their own, even if one was a child, they would also find all sorts of things to pass time. During this period, Bian Bian taught herself to sweep and clean, wash clothes¡­ these were things Lu Yu originally planned to teach her after she was five years old. Unfortunately, there wasn¡¯t time to teach her anything before he had an accident. For two years after the apocalypse, when there weren¡¯t many meners in the world, Lu Yu, who owned a B class ability would receive people¡¯s respect wherever he went, even if he was an elderly who brought a child with him. During those times, the days that he and Bian Bian lived could even be called ¡®luxurious¡¯. After that, Lu Yu started bringing Bian Bian to places where there were lesser people. Where there were fewer people, meant that danger levels were lower. At the same time quality of life would also decrease. Bian Bian would learn some things while living alongside Lu Yu. This was also why after Lu Yu had an accident, though alone at home and not living as well compared to the past, Bian Bian could still wash herself up within her limits. She would think, would recall the things she¡¯d learnt while living beside Lu Yu, slowly fumbling along and putting them into practice. After Bian Bian was done cleaning the room, she lowered her head to look at the clothes on her body. Pinching a finger, she asked her teddy, ¡°Grey Grey, how long have I been wearing the clothes on my body?¡± Next, she puffed up her cheeks, using a strange voice to say, ¡°It¡¯s been three days, Bian Bian, you should change into clean clothes.¡± Bian Bian giggled. ¡°Okay, thank you Grey Grey.¡± After settling down in this estate, Lu Yu found for Bian Bian quite a few sets of children¡¯s clothes. Even though he liked dressing up his granddaughter prettily, however, dressing up in an eye-catching way during the apocalypse was not good. This way the colours of the clothes he found for Bian Bian were not bright, there were also enough for her to take turns wearing. The wardrobe was full of clothes Lu Yu found for her. Bian Bian washed a light blue coloured skirt and changed into it, then held its ends as she twirled in front of the mirror. Wearing new clothes is a happy thing; dressing up was every girl¡¯s nature, no matter how old they were. From beginning to the end, the little girl didn¡¯t realise that the position of the wardrobe had shifted some distance away from its original position. The first time she¡¯d washed clothes, not only did Bian Bian not wash it properly, she¡¯d even tripped, scraping her right kneecap badly. The wound left a nasty scar after it healed. But luckily, practice made perfect, and she was better at washing clothes now. The little girl had very little strength. After she was done with washing, she would slowly wring the clothes one by one, then copy the way grandpa shook them out before hanging them onto the balcony to dry. The balcony was open-air and was on its own. One was able to get to it through one of the kitchen doors. This was an apartment that Lu Yu had chosen specifically for Bian Bian after he got infected. As there was a door from the balcony to the kitchen, should something happen, Bian Bian would be able to have an extra shot at survival. At the same time, afraid that there would be zombies or other dangerous existences enter the kitchen through this door, Lu Yu had also reinforced it. Sometimes when Bian Bian felt too stuffy inside the room, she would bring teddy out to the balcony and lean on the handrail, gazing at the skyscrapers far away. This quiet city showed up in dilapidation before Bian Bian¡¯s eyes. After hanging the clothes properly, Bian Bian habitually leaned on the balcony as she gazed into the distance. The weather wasn¡¯t too good today and the sky was dark with thunderclouds covering the world. Grandpa said that this sort of weather meant that it was going to rain heavily soon. She had to remember to take down the clothes later. Bang¡ª¡ª¡ª! A deafening gunshot suddenly sounded. Other than the gunshot, there was also the sound of a person¡¯s yell as well as the monster¡¯s howl. Soon, a car streaked past the streets downstairs. Bian Bian was frightened into retracting her head. * ¡°Du Ming Yu, you are going to die a horrible death!¡± Zhu Yuan covered the bullet wound on his chest, staring in disbelief at the disappearing car before him. His good friend actually shot him for the sake of a level 3 crystal. -TOFU- I WANNA CALL HIM JULIAN SO BAD Zhu Yuan coughed heavily, a drop of blood leaking out of the corner of his mouth. He was a C class wind mener while Du Ming Yu was a C class fire mener. The two were originally university friends and had met coincidentally some time ago. After asking a few questions, they found out that both their plans were to go to Base North. And so, they naturally teamed up. They ran into an injured level 3 zombie yesterday. A level 3 zombie was equal to a B class mener. Luckily, this zombie was injured, so the two went all out in killing it, managing to obtain a level 3 wood class crystal. Crystals could promote a mener¡¯s strength, but neither of them was a wood class mener. If they used it to cure their injuries, it would just waste the energy inside of it. Zhu Yuan suggested that they go to the base and use this level 3 crystal to exchange for resources, and Du Ming Yu agreed. He originally thought that this was a good suggestion, after all they were teammates, they could share the resources they exchanged. He never thought of pocketing it all for himself. But it was exactly just now when they¡¯d met three level 1 zombies that Du Ming Yu¡¯s bullet purposely flew past the zombie, sinking right into his defenceless chest. Zhu Yuan then understood everything. The infuriated Zhu Yuan bared with the intense pain in his chest and killed the zombie that had pounced towards him off. This attack had used up all of his energy. The gun fell from his hand as his body swayed. Just then, a breeze flew past. Zhu Yuan picked up a clear scent, the unique scent that came from washing detergent¡ª¡ª¡ª The scent was coming from above him. He immediately looked up and saw that on the balcony of the third floor of the building before him was a skirt flapping in the wind. A skirt hanging on the balcony? Was there someone living on the third floor? Survival instinct made Zhu Yuan¡¯s drowsy mind clear up slightly. He operated all of the mener inside of him, and, summoning a strong gust of wind to wrap him up, he used the swiftness it brought him to leap towards the third floor¡¯s balcony. Zhu Yuan ¡®flew¡¯ up, yet was still just only nearly there. Luckily, at the last moment, he stretched an arm out to grip onto the side of the balcony, using his last bit of strength to flip over. Next, he met a pair of eyes that were bigger than grapes. Gods, it¡¯s a little child. Zhu Yuan¡¯s eyes were filled with astonishment. ¡°I¡­¡± All of a sudden, immense pain travelled from his wound. Zhu Yuan lost consciousness before he could finish speaking. Bian Bian had seen countless dead people from following beside Lu Yu. Gramps said humans were the scariest, while the second scariest were monsters. The least scary were the dead. Thus, after Zhu Yuan stopped moving, Bian Bian instead felt unafraid. Dead people weren¡¯t scary. Staring at the bloodied Zhu Yuan for a good minute, after making sure that this uncle had already ¡®died¡¯, Bian Bian returned to her bedroom and took a blanket out from her wardrobe. The little girl half dragged and half carried the blanket back to the balcony. She spread the blanket out, completely covering Zhu Yuan. Plus, she even kindly gave the corners a pinch. This way this uncle could pass away free from worries. ??? At the same moment, on the way to the palace, Xiu Jin couldn¡¯t resist secretly switching on his ly-set. He wanted to see if his precious daughter had woken up or not. ¡°???¡± What the hell is that thing in front of my little girl??? The author has something to say: If Bian Bian could write and kept diaries too, then the diary record for today would definitely be¡ª¡ª¡ª XX/XX, When I woke up today bad guy was not here. I¡¯m happy that I do not have to get eaten by the bad guy. I changed into pretty clothes, then when I was drying them, an uncle flew up here and died¡­ why did he fly up here? bro, Bian Bian so kindhearted lmao, helping to cover up his ¡®corpse¡¯ hahagaga CH 7 Xiu Jin stared at it for quite a while before finally realising that the silhouette under the blanket was one of a human¡¯s. So a person is lying in front of my precious daughter?! As Bian Bian covered Zhu Yuan up, the sky got gloomier and gloomier. So, the little lass took her skirt down and brought it into the house. Xiu Jin finally found out that the place his precious daughter was at was the balcony outside. What made him perplexed, however, was the ¡®person¡¯ on the balcony. How did that person get up here? Or rather, how had that person appeared? Were they dead? Well, they were probably dead, otherwise precious wouldn¡¯t have covered that person up. Xiu Jin¡¯s head started hurting at the thought of not managing to see what¡¯d happened earlier. The game didn¡¯t have a rewind function so he was unable to find out things that happened before. Good thing his precious daughter was fine. When he saw the young lady close the door leading to the balcony, his fatherly heart finally relaxed slightly. Just at this moment, a speaker icon appeared next to her head. That meant that his precious daughter was speaking. Xiu Jin sat in a car heading towards the palace. He didn¡¯t want irrelevant people, which was also the driver who had come to fetch him, hear Bian Bian¡¯s voice. Thus, before tapping on the speaker, he tapped on the other ¡®reader function¡¯. His daughter¡¯s words appeared in words. ¡°Grey Grey, that dead uncle will become smelly if he continues lying down there. How am I going to dry my clothes then?¡± The little fellow looked very troubled, yet couldn¡¯t find a good idea. She was unable to move that dead uncle with just her skinny arms. At the thought of being unable to go to the balcony in the future, the little lass pursed her lips in disappointment. It meant that she was going to have one less place to play at in the future. Through his precious daughter¡¯s words, Xiu Jin could confirm that that person was already dead. Now an even bigger problem appeared. How had a dead person appeared on the balcony? Had the person fallen from the floor above? Were there other people living in the building his precious daughter lived in? The system probably either couldn¡¯t take his random guessing anymore, either that or perhaps it decided to ¡®take pity¡¯ on his worries as a father because it very conscientiously sent out a notification: [Zhu Yuan was shot by a friend. Amidst his despair, he found Bian Bian and used his ability to fly onto the balcony, hoping to ask Bian Bian for help. Unfortunately, he fainted due to his injury and was mistaken to be dead by Bian Bian, who helped collect his corpse.] Xiu Jin: ¡°¡­¡± Should he be praising his precious daughter for her kindness? So, the person on the balcony isn¡¯t dead? Would the person harm her after waking up? ¡°Your Highness, we¡¯ve arrived.¡± However, no matter how much papa Xiu worried about his precious daughter, the driver¡¯s reminder made him force himself out of the game. Precious, daddy will come and take a look at you after he¡¯s done with his business. The seventh prince had been living in the palace before he was of age. He moved out after becoming an adult, proudly using the money he earned to buy his first house and didn¡¯t rely on the imperial clan. He was very, very familiar with the palace. On the way to the main palace, Xiu Jin ran into a young man who was also on his way to pay a courtesy call on the emperor. Xiu Jin rolled his eyes speechlessly when he saw him. The man wore gorgeous clothing and had a single feather at the crown of his head, symbolising his identity¡ª¡ª Feather Clan. His facial features were so beautiful they were stunning, like a perfect creation with no flaws to be seen. There was a feather jewel on his glabella, making the man¡¯s already beautiful facial features even more enchanting, yet not feminine at all. Soul-stirringly beautiful, noble, and gorgeous. ¡°Good morning, your seventh highness.¡± Huan Tian Jue¡¯s lips quirked. Everything around lost its colour at this smile. ¡°¡­¡± Showy peacock. Damned sissy. Xiu Jin expressionlessly examined Huan Tian Jue¡¯s face before thinking of his. It was absolutely not going to be any worse than this thing¡¯s after yesterday night¡¯s skincare. The problems between the seventh prince and the Feather King could be traced over ten years ago, and the two could be said to be long-time enemies. The previous Feather King and the emperor were great friends, however, he unluckily got badly injured while battling to help the emperor unite the empire. Leaving behind the young Huan Tian Jue all alone. And so the emperor brought Huan Tian Jue back into the palace to be taken care of. After he became an adult, he would be given the title of the Feather King. Xiu Jin and Huan Tian Jue practically grew up together. By right, the two of them should have become good friends because of their similar ages, however, in reality, the two¡¯s relationship was like water and fire and Xiu Jin hated Huan Tian Jue because he felt that he was a very pretentious and eccentric person. Not only was this man prettier than a woman, he even dressed up dazzlingly all the time. Simply can¡¯t be looked at! Them mermaid clan members look good too, why don¡¯t they dress like this. Of course, if it was just their fashion sense that was different, it wouldn¡¯t make their relations so tense. Most importantly¡­ ¡°Seventh highness, your skin is exceptionally clear today. I passed by a planet with a rather bad environment two days ago, causing my skin to get slightly irritated¡­ what skincare product do you use your highness? Could you tell me about it? Huan Tian Jue sincerely inquired, as if he and Xiu Jin were close friends. Xiu Jin: ¡­ This was one of the reasons he hated Huan Tian Jue. Because that person¡¯s existence constantly reminded him of how ¡®ugly¡¯ he was, causing him to always have the heart to vie. This made him walk further and further on the path of a ¡®delicate boy¡¯, unable to extricate himself. He was a man!!!! Xiu Jin sneered, ¡°Why would a man like me use skincare products. I don¡¯t treasure my skin like you¡­ however, if it is getting overly sensitive, why don¡¯t you go and look for a doctor. How was there any sign of sensitive skin on that smooth beautiful face? The hell, this showy peacock was just purposely pointing out the fact that he was using skincare products in front of the public. Huan Tian Jue smiled regretfully, then walked alongside Xiu Jin, smoothly changing the topic. ¡°Does your seventh highness know what his majesty is summoning us for today?¡± Xiu Jin thought, how would I know, I wouldn¡¯t tell you even if I did. ¡°We¡¯ll know later when we meet father,¡± He said. ¡°I do know a little something.¡± Huan Tian Jue continued, no hint of boasting in his words. However, Xiu Jin knew that this guy was showing off. See, even I know what the emperor is finding us for, yet you, his son, doesn¡¯t know. Xiu Jin: ¡­ He wanted to bash this person to death. Huan Tian Jue stopped speaking after that as if purposely waiting for Xiu Jin to ask him. Just at this moment, urgent footsteps sounded in front of them. A person turned around. It was the fifth prince Xiu Yan. ¡°Tian Yi, Xiao Jin.¡± Seeing the two, Xiu Yan grew delighted. ¡°Father is already waiting for you guys, hurry up.¡± Xiu Jin only found out about the reason the emperor summoned him and Huan Tian Jue into the palace after meeting him. The emperor wanted both of them to do some charity. He wanted them to create a charity foundation and help the citizens of some planets lacking in resources with things need to survive. ¡°¡­¡± Creating a charity foundation to help the needy was okay, Xiu Jin himself often donated. However, why did he have to do it with Huan Tian Jue? ¡°Because this suggestion was made by Huan Tian Jue.¡± The emperor warmly replied. Xiu Jin: ¡°???¡± The emperor continued, ¡°Xiao Jin, Tian Jue has the heart to, you have the money. As long as both of you collaborate, this matter will definitely be able to be done beautifully. It will also let the refugees of other planets know the empire¡¯s imperial clan will not abandon them and will protect every single citizen.¡± ¡­¡­ Looking at the showy man beside him, Xiu Jin couldn¡¯t hold it in anymore after leaving the palace. He suppressed his rage, gritting his teeth, ¡°You¡¯re doing it on purpose!¡± Fucking robbing my money! Huan Tian Jue was extremely confused. His beautiful eyes stared intently at Xiu Jin before finally realising what he was talking about. He replied, ¡°Your seventh highness please don¡¯t be mistaken. Haven¡¯t you been wanting to do some charity for a long time? I just so happened to want to do this too. Plus, doesn¡¯t the Star Times keep reporting about how the imperial clan isn¡¯t doing anything to help? A few planets even united together to force the emperor¡­ isn¡¯t it perfect now that we are working together?¡± Xiu Jin gnashed his teeth. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you fucking tell me about it beforehand?¡± Would he be this angry this fucker gave him a heads up and let him be prepared? Huan Tian Jue sighed, suddenly turning his ly-set on. He showed Xiu Jin a hologram. ¡°I know that your highness has many misunderstandings about me. I knew that your highness would feel that I had a hidden agenda, that¡¯s why I didn¡¯t talk to you about this beforehand and went straight to the emperor. I hope your highness wouldn¡¯t mind. ¡°¡­¡± Xiu Jin lowered his head to look at the hologram. It the image of refugees on a planet with lacking resources. After looking at the image, he expressionlessly glanced Huan Tian Jue. He didn¡¯t say anything else, going straight into his own car. ¡°Sir.¡± Huan Tian Jue¡¯s personal assistant stepped forward. ¡°His seventh highness doesn¡¯t seem willing. Will he create trouble?¡± The smile on Huan Tian Jue¡¯s face grew smaller as he shook his head uncaringly. The subordinate was confused. ¡°I don¡¯t understand. You could have chosen to collaborate with the other princes¡­ why choose the seventh prince?¡± You obviously aren¡¯t on good terms with the seventh prince. Even though the emperor was upright and in his prime, however, he was bound to abdicate in the future. The seat of the emperor was chosen according to the prince¡¯s abilities and the prince who was the strongest would be the next emperor. The eldest prince was the most outstanding in all aspects amongst all the princes, plus the he needed some accomplishments to prove himself. He was bound to agree to doing charity. ¡°Cause Xiu Jin is rich.¡± Huan Tian Jue replied. The reason was just that simple. Actually, the other princes were all too poor. Doing charity wasn¡¯t a simple matter. It required money to be continuously poured inside and only the silly but rich Xiu Jin could bear it. However Xiu Jin was quite easy to talk to today. Especially after he showed him the hologram, the man didn¡¯t say anything, just silently agreeing to the collaboration. That was way out of Huan Tian Jue¡¯s expectations. He showed Xiu Jin the holographic image to rouse the sympathy in him, however, with his understanding of the latter, he wouldn¡¯t accept it so quickly even if moved by the image. Xiu Jin¡¯s heart seemed to have softened quite a bit. Huan Tian Jue lifted a pretty brow, his sharp senses sensing something odd. ? Sitting in the car, the image projected out wouldn¡¯t stop replaying in Xiu Jin¡¯s mind. A dirty environment, emaciated refugees, he even saw a child among them. In that instant, Bian Bian¡¯s tiny body appeared in Xiu Jin¡¯s mind. Even now, he wasn¡¯t able to buy and buy and buy, spending tons of money on his in-game daughter to better her life. Being able to help the emaciated refugees on poorer planets was a sort of comfort to him. This comfort dissipated the rage Xiu Jin felt towards the showy peacock. Anyways what he lacked the least was money. At the thought of that, Xiu Jin eagerly opened the game. The charity he wanted to do most was of course to raise his baby well. The moment thought Xiu Jin his precious daughter¡¯s life that was even worse than those refugees¡¯, Xiu Jin¡¯s heart ached badly for her. Those refugees still had parents to take care of them, yet his precious was all alone. What was he to do to quickly increase he and Bian Bian¡¯s intimacy points? On the screen, the little fella spread a carpet out in the living room. On it was a set of lego toys. The little lass was building lego. She built very quickly because she had done it many times before. Bian Bian didn¡¯t have many toys. This lego set was found by Lu Yu inside a shop and the little girl always treasured it. It was raining heavily outside, and along with the rain was a sudden clap of thunder that would sound time and time again. Bian Bian¡¯s tiny figure would subconsciously shiver every time the thunder sounded. On the balcony. The ice-cold rainwater quickly drenched the blanket. The blanket, having absorbed all of the water, grew heavy, sticking tightly onto Zhu Yuan¡¯s face, nearly to the point of suffocation. Probably because the survival instinct of a C class ability user was too strong, the suffocation actually leads him out of his unconscious state and he slowly woke up. It was a good thing he woke up too, or else he would never wake up again. Zhu Yuan pulled the heavy blanket away from his body. Through the rain, he saw the door and flipped his body over, crawling towards it with all his strength. Clenching his fists, he started banging against the door. Boom boom boom! With a quiver, the lego piece in Bian Bian¡¯s hand fell down. The noise had come from the kitchen. The little lass listened for a while and confirmed that it wasn¡¯t the sound of thunder but the sound of something banging on the door. Bian Bian hugged the little bear in fright, pretending that she couldn¡¯t hear it. However, the sound kept going on. ¡°It¡¯s that dead uncle, he¡¯s become a monster.¡± Bian Bian was frightened and confused. Gramps had said before that dead humans wouldn¡¯t turn into monsters, only live humans bitten by monsters would turn into monsters. ¡°Little girl¡­ save me¡­¡± Zhu Yuan remembered the little lass he saw before he fainted. He was sure that that little girl was in the house. He didn¡¯t want to die, he had to beg for help. Monsters can¡¯t talk. ¡°That uncle is alive.¡± Bian Bian and the little bear silently exchanged a glance before she mumbled, ¡°Want to go and take a look?¡± The little bear could give Bian Bian courage. She carried the little bear and tiptoed over to the kitchen, where the banging was still going on. It was just much weaker than before. After hesitating slightly, the little lass gathered her courage to ask, ¡°Uncle, are you alive?¡± ¡°¡­I¡­am¡­¡± Every single one of Zhu Yuan¡¯s words was breathy. The pain from his chest had already grown numb and, as a matter of fact, he couldn¡¯t even feel the wound and was merely relying on his instincts. He wanted to live. He had to live to find Du Ming Yu and take his revenge. That uncle is still alive. He¡¯s injured, she should let him in. The wish to help that injured uncle overtook Bian Bian¡¯s fear. A moment later, she finally twisted the door handle. The little girl didn¡¯t realise that right behind her was a kitchen knife floating in mid-air. Two of papa Xiu¡¯s fingers were pinching the kitchen knife. Should the person outside wish to do something bad to her the moment his precious daughter opened the door, he didn¡¯t mind using the knife to butcher him. The door opened. Rainwater seeped in and the skirt Bian Bian was wearing was instantly dampened halfway. When Zhu Yuan saw the little lass in front of him, a shred of hope appeared in his unfocused eyes. Then, his pupils suddenly shrank. He stared at the kitchen knife behind her that was giving off a cold glint, his senses immediately strained to its limit. Not only was the girl in front of him an ability user, but she also had the rarest and most mysterious mental ability. The author has something to say: Zhu Yuan: OMG! This place is hiding a five year old boss!!! Bian Bian:??? The TL has something to say¡­ The new editing block on WordPress is so weird!!! ok but it¡¯s hella cool too ngl, love learning new things :> Heads up too y¡¯all, from this chapter on I¡¯m gonna replace mener with¡­ ability user! The latter is stupid, but the former is stupider, I¡¯ll admit¡­ CH 8 After five years into the apocalypse, ability users today had their strict classifications. The most common were metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, the five elemental abilities. Other than that, there were also a few mutated abilities. Mutated abilities were very strong. For example space, lighting, mental, and ice abilities etcetera. Due to their mutation, once these abilities were awakened, they were at least a B class, turning them into strong ability users that all bases would like to attract. The mental ability was the rarest and strongest among them. There was only one mental ability user heard of in South Base. What his approximate class was was unknown, what was know however was that this ability user was extremely strong. So strong that he wouldn¡¯t be at a disadvantage even when facing two level five zombies. Zombies had their rankings too. Level five zombies were the equivalent of an A class ability user. This ability user was known as Super Heavenly King. It was said that this name was made up by himself, and, while it was slightly chuunibyu, however, it couldn¡¯t hide his terrifying power. The most obvious ability of a mental ability user was to use their mind to control objects. Everything around them was a weapon. As long as their ability was strong enough, they could even control their enemy¡¯s minds and let them fight for themself. This was the terrifying part about mental type ability users. Zhu Yuan had never expected that he would run into a mental ability user in such a place. The most important part was that this was a little girl. If not for the fact that he had once been lucky enough to witness Super Heavenly King fighting a level five zombie, Zhu Yuan would be unable to confirm that this girl was a mental ability user. The kitchen knife quietly floating behind her was the best evidence. Strangely, the misconception that he had stepped on dog shit luck appeared in the depts of Zhu Yuan¡¯s mind. Hetried his best to let a warm and kind smile appear on his pale face. ¡°Little girl, I¡¯m Zhu Yuan. I¡¯ve gotten badly injured, can you help me?¡± Noting, the little lass even reached a hand out to help Zhu Yuan. ¡°Thank you. ¡± Zhu Yuan secretly clenched his teeth, holding his breath as he grabbed the doorframe and tried standing up. He stumbled into the house. He was constantly paying attention to the kitchen knife. Along with the little girl¡¯s movement, the knife moved too, the blade aiming at him. Zhu Yuan didn¡¯t feel that this was a show of the girl¡¯s unfriendliness. Rather, this showed that though she was young, her vigilance was already there. No wonder she could live here alone. Since the moment he woke up, he hadn¡¯t seen anyone other than Bian Bian. He was able to deduce that the little girl lived alone from that. An ¡°adult¡± would have long appeared were there were any. Seeing that Bian Bian was about to enter the living room, Xiu Jin hurriedly put down the kitchen knife before the screen switched to the living room. Without the kitchen knife¡¯s surveillance, Zhu Yuan secretly let out a sigh of relief. ¡°Uncle, please take a seat.¡± Bian Bian rarely had the chance to interact with people because Lu Yu wouldn¡¯t let her have to chance to be alone with strangers. In the past, she only had to obediently greet people when following beside grandpa. This wouldn¡¯t do now. This mister had gotten heavily injured and was asking her for help. Bian Bian remembered that grandpa had said before that when people asked her for help, she should help them if she was able to. Lu Yu didn¡¯t want his precious granddaughter to develop a cold and emotionless personality even if they were living in the cruel apocalypse. Bian Bian pushed a chair over for Zhu Yuan before going into another room. There were clothes that grandpa left behind there. She took out a clean set of clothes before running out. On the way out, the pant leg in her bosom dragged behind on the floor. Bian Bian didn¡¯t notice it and accidentally stepped on it, her body immediately toppling over. This time round Xiu Jin was very careful and did not pick his precious daughter up, he instead lifted Bian Bian¡¯s body up a tiny bit so that Bian Bian didn¡¯t fall over, but just stumbled slightly and naturally because of that didn¡¯t know that the reason she didn¡¯t fall over was because the one she called ¡°baddie¡± helped her. After steadying herself, the little girl quickly rolled the fallen pant leg up as she handed it to Zhu Yuan. ¡°Uncle, your clothes are wet. These are grandpa¡¯s clothes, you can change into them first.¡± Zhu Yuan¡¯s mind was very hazy, however the moment he heard ¡®grandpa¡¯, his thoughts cleared up slightly. Taking the clothes, he asked feebly, ¡°Where¡¯s grandpa?¡± Why¡¯d this lad ask about grandpa? Was he going to do something to precious after confirming that there were no adults? Still not behaving even when injured. Xiu Jin¡¯s eyes narrowed. He picked up a water bottle that was on the table behind Bian Bian. The little girl lowered her head when she heard, not speaking. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡­¡± This sort of reaction made Zhu Yuan realise that something might¡¯ve happened to the girl¡¯s grandfather, so he immediately apologised. However, just as his words were out of his mouth, he noticed the mineral water bottle quietly floating behind her. And so the words out of his mouth were swallowed back. ¡°Uncle?¡± Bian Bian was confused when she looked up and noticed the strange expression on Zhu Yuan¡¯s face. Zhu Yuan gulped, sincerely saying to her, ¡°Thank you.¡± ¡°You¡¯re welcome.¡± Bian Bian¡¯s eyes narrowed into crescent moons when sincerely thanked. She replied equally sincerely. ¡°I¡¯m Zhu Yuan. You?¡± Zhu Yuan introduced himself again, trying his best to ignore the threat of the mineral bottle as he expressed his good will, showing that he was harmless. His whole body was starting to shiver uncontrollably. That was the sort of cold brought by after losing too much blood. Plus his body was completely wet, he was hanging on his last bit of strength. Even if he went into the house, there was only a little girl inside. She was still so young, she might not be able to help him dress his wound. He had to rely on himself. His instincts told him that he couldn¡¯t faint. He would never wake up again if he did. ¡°I¡¯m Bian Bian.¡± The little girl¡¯s voice was very soft. Zhu Yuan subconsciously softened his tone, afraid of scaring her. He started changing while bearing with the pain. Seeing her still staring at him, his face glowed red. ¡°Bian Bian, I need to change, could you turn around?¡± Bian Bian nodded obediently and turned around. Xiu Jin hurriedly moved the mineral bottle to not let Bian Bian see it. However, because he shifted too quickly, he didn¡¯t control it properly and it ran straight into Zhu Yuan¡¯s head. Zhu Yuan made a muffled groan. ¡°Uncle?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Zhu Yuan mumbled. Compared to the pain in his chest, the pain from his head could be ignored. He looked up at the mineral bottle floating in mid-air, guessing that even though the little girl had awakened a mental ability, perhaps because she was too young, however, and barely knew anything, she didn¡¯t have perfect control of her ability. Due to this interruption, Zhu Yuan found that the little lass¡¯ skirt was sticking to her, making her look even smaller. This suddenly reminded him of the little niece he had before the apocalypse. She was around the same age as Bian Bian and was clever and quick-witted, beloved by all. After the apocalypse arrived, everything was gone. The little girl was all alone at home, yet was willing to save him. Even though there was the threat of the ¡®kitchen knife¡¯ and the ¡®mineral bottle¡¯, it still made Zhu Yuan¡¯s heart that had been torn apart by his friend¡¯s betrayal feel a bit comforted. ¡°Bian Bian, your skirt is wet, go and change into new clean clothes or you¡¯ll catch a cold.¡± He coughed. Blood mixed with saliva slid out from the corner of his mouth and was wiped away by him. Bian Bian pulled uncomfortably on the wet clothes on her body. She had just changed into new ones. Sighing like an adult, she obediently walked into the bedroom to change into a new skirt. While Bian Bian was inside the bedroom, Zhu Yuan took the chance to quickly take off his wet clothes and changed into Lu Yu¡¯s clean clothes. He didn¡¯t put on his jacket. Looking down at his wound, he saw that the area around it was white and wasn¡¯t bleeding as much. The pendant that his mother gave him before the apocalypse was gone. Zhu Yuan froze. Quickly though, delight flashed past his eyes. He could feel that the bullet didn¡¯t pass through his heart and was instead stuck among layers of muscles. That was thanks to his five years of survival during the apocalypse. Zhu Yuan didn¡¯t dare to relax, spending large amounts of time every day to exercise. It was all so that when danger arrived, he could run faster than anyone else. Most importantly, the pendant reduced the bullet¡¯s penetration. That made the bullet not pierce through his heart. The pendant from his mother saved his life. However the bullet was stuck in the wound and he had to dig it out. Only, how? The bedroom door opened with a click and Bian Bian walked out of the doorway in her new skirt. And then, Bian Bian found that she couldn¡¯t see anything, Bian Bian thought that something was wrong with her eyes, so she rubbed them. In reality, a certain peeping father was currently grinding her molars as he looked at the topless Zhu Yuan. In the same room as precious yet not even wearing his shirt, what was he cooking up?! Didn¡¯t he know that male and females couldn¡¯t be too close! Xiu Jin, afraid that his precious daughter was going to __ at a young age reached out a hand to cover his precious¡¯ face while using the other to pick up the shirt and throw it at Zhu Yuan. Smacked by the shirt, Zhu Yuan saw the little girl covering (rubbing) her eyes. He suddenly remembered that it wasn¡¯t appropriate for him to be like this and immediately put the shirt on. Xiu Jin finally lifted the finger covering Bian Bian¡¯s face. The little lass just so happened to finish rubbing her eyes, and when she opened them again, her vision was clear. Her long lashes fluttered as a small finger pointed at Zhu Yuan¡¯s breast. ¡°Uncle, it¡¯s bleeding.¡± Zhu Yuan¡¯s urgent clothes wearing action pulled on the wound and blood once again spilt out, instantly dying the newly changed shirt. The pain made Zhu Yuan maintain consciousness. Not wishing the scare her, he raised his hand and cupped the wound. ¡°Bian Bian, do you have a small sharp knife?¡± She said, ¡°There¡¯s a fruit knife.¡± ¡°May I borrow it?¡± The little lass ran into the kitchen. After a while, she came out with the knife used to peel the apple yesterday. ¡°Here.¡± Zhu Yuan didn¡¯t take it. He overestimated his body¡¯s capability. Looking into Bian Bian¡¯s eyes, Zhu Yuan bit his deathly pale and chapped lips. ¡°Bian Bian, there¡¯s a bullet in uncle¡¯s wound. It has to be dug out, however, uncle doesn¡¯t have any energy left. Can you help me take it out?¡± Zhu Yuan originally intended to add ¡®with your ability¡¯, however at the thought of how the little lass still couldn¡¯t control it perfectly, if she lost control and stabbed the knife straight into his heart, then he wouldn¡¯t even have a place to cry if he died. He swallowed this word back after thinking about it. Bian Bian understood what Zhu Yuan was trying to say. There was a bullet in his wound and he wanted her to dig it out using a knife. Bian Bian¡¯s small hands twisted together helplessly. ¡°But¡­ I don¡¯t know how to,¡± she whispered. Zhu Yuan chuckled bitterly. He wouldn¡¯t let a little girl help either if there were others around. However, he didn¡¯t have any strength left. All of his energy went to keeping himself awake. He needed another person¡¯s help to dig out the bullet, while this person in question was the little girl in front of him with the rarest mental ability. Since she was able to awaken the mental type ability, he believed that she wouldn¡¯t push him to death. however, seeing that she was about to start crying, Zhu Yuan sighed. How could he bear to continue forcing her? Not to mention these sorts of things shouldn¡¯t have landed on her shoulders in the first place. Zhu Yuan bit the tip of his tongue. The pain made his body gain a bit more energy. He said, ¡°Bian Bian, do you have gauze here?¡± Bian Bian went to the bedroom and took out the little first aid kit she used to put plasters in. When giving it to Zhu Yuan, she very generously added, ¡°It¡¯s all in here. Uncle, please feel free to use them.¡± There was indeed a small roll of gauze inside. There was even a small bottle of disinfectant. These were all extremely precious, resources that were extremely hard to find outside. Zhu Yuan was delighted. He didn¡¯t hesitate any longer and used the disinfectant to disinfect the fruit knife before lifting his shirt up. However, even after trying a few times, the hand holding the fruit knife just wouldn¡¯t stop trembling. He simply didn¡¯t have the strength to steadily insert the knife into the wound. Bian Bian had already obediently listened to Zhu Yuan¡¯s words and turned around. Both of her tiny hands were hugging the teddy. She felt that uncle Zhu Yuan was definitely in a lot of pain. ¡°Let¡¯s give uncle Zhu Yuan a sweet later. It¡¯s sweet, he won¡¯t hurt any more after eating it.¡± ¡°¡­¡± His precious daughter kept thinking about a male stranger and even planned to give him some sweets to eat. At the thought of his -50 intimacy points, separated by a screen, papa Xiu felt seriously sour about it. And then, seeing how Zhu Yuan still hadn¡¯t managed to insert the knife into his wound¡­ Moving and stopping around the edge, not at all manly. Xiu Jin¡¯s OCD started again. He picked up the fruit knife in Zhu Yuan¡¯s hand while pulling the shirt down further. The tip of the knife sank into the wound. Quick and accurate. The system¡¯s notification popped out immediately: [You¡¯re going to kill Zhu Yuan this way!] ¡°That¡¯s why you should hurry up and tell me to move forward or backward, left or right.¡± System: ¡­ Xiu Jin continued, ¡°Hurry up or else he¡¯s going to be stabbed to death by me.¡± The system¡¯s notification popped out word by word: [Move slightly to the right, then angle the tip of the knife upwards.] The bullet fell out. Zhu Yuan watched the fruit knife in his hand get snatched away by some amorphous strength, then get inserted into the wound on his chest. In that instant, he felt that he was dead meat for sure. Intense pain erupted in his mind, instantly raising waves. This sort of pain made him not help but start shouting. Then, the bullet was taken out. Zhu Yuan: ¡­ Bian Bian jumped when she heard Zhu Yuan¡¯s shout. She hesitated slightly before turning around. Xiu Jin quickly swiftly stuffed the knife back into Zhu Yuan¡¯s hand when he saw that. Aye, perfect. With the bloodied knife in hand, Zhu Yuan weakly leaned on the back of the chair, beads of sweat rolling down. Even though his face was still deathly pale, however, it was still slightly better than before. He knew that Bian Bian used her ability to take the bullet out for him. She helped him even though she was afraid. Zhu Yuan¡¯s eyes started getting wet. He smiled weakly at the little girl. ¡°Thank you, Bian Bian.¡± Mental type ability users truly lived up to their names. Bian Bian accepted Zhu Yuan¡¯s gratitude, dumbfounded. Her eyes were full of confusion. What was uncle Zhu Yuan thanking her for? The author has something to say: Papa Xiu: flicks his shirt elegantly after finishing his job. He hides his identity, leaving coolly~ (in his heart he howls, the candy! I want to eat my precious¡¯ candy!!!) Anyone know a better name for mental ability user? Also, next update: Monday 31/08 (latest) CH 9 To Bian Bian, one good thing she discovered after saving Zhu Yuan was that after he woke up, she could start eating hot meals and warm water again. The day that Lu Yu got into an accident, Bian Bian was extremely frightened. She would stand in front of the front door every day, pasting her tiny face to the door to listen for any noise outside. There was nothing. She listened to grandpa¡¯s words. He said to never open the door no matter what noise she heard. So, even if she hoped that grandpa would open the door every day, she had never opened the door on her own initiative. She wanted to heat the water up herself, but fell down in the process, so she didn¡¯t dare to enter the kitchen to use the tools there anymore. She could only drink cold mineral water and eat hard uncooked instant noodles. Bian Bian had a sensitive stomach and puked out whatever she ate the first few days. Knowing that this was a waste of food, she didn¡¯t dare to eat anymore after that and only sipped cold water. After drinking the water her stomach started hurting again. It was during those first few days that she started visibly losing weight. After getting past those few days, Bian Bian¡¯s body finally started getting used and stopped making a fuss. Zhu Yuan¡¯s arrival allowed the kitchen utensils and the remaining gas in the gas tank finally be of use. The little lass ran into the kitchen many times to look at them before returning to grandpa¡¯s room where Zhu Yuan was lying unconscious, quietly praying for him to wake up. After the bullet was taken out and and the wound was roughly dressed, Zhu Yuan laid on the bed and fainted away reassured. He had to sleep to replenish the energy he lost. His lips were so dry that they were chapping. Bian Bian retrieved her own cup and mimicked the way grandpa used to take care of her in the past, using a wet cotton bud to wipe Zhu Yuan¡¯s chapped lips. The little lass was concentrating very hard. She wiped his lips when it was dry, repeating this step more than ten times before finally putting the cup down and waited for Zhu Yuan to wake up beside the bed. ¡°Grey Grey, we are finally going to eat hot noodles when uncle wakes up.¡± The little girl rubbed her stomach when she heard it grumble. She smiled in anticipation as she recalled the smell of steaming hot noodles. Suddenly, an idea popped up in Bian Bian head. Turning around, she ran into her own room and took out a pink coloured metal box. Then, she opened it, revealing a pile of small multicoloured stones. Bian Bian knew that these were crystals. Sometimes after grandpa killed monsters, he would dig these out of their heads. Grandpa said that these were good things, plus she even saw him holding these crystals while closing his eyes. Uncle¡¯s received such a bad injury, will these crystals help him get better quicker? Bian Bian brought the metal box into the room next door and grabbed a pile of them and placed them on Zhu Yuan¡¯s body. Then, Bian Bian saw green colour crystals light up, emitting a faint glow. And with that she knew that green crystals were of use to Zhu Yuan. So, the little girl carefully picked out a bunch of green crystals and placed them on Zhu Yuan. Xiu Jin who was separated by a screen felt as if his heart was bathing in jealousy. He was as jealous as one could get. He started to regret ¡®operating¡¯ on Zhu Yuan. However, something that made Xiu Jin even more jealous happened. After the little girl saw that the green crystals were starting to glow, she went out of the room and even thoughtfully closed the door. Then, went brought the clothes Zhu Yuan took off into the bathroom. She was going to wash Zhu Yuan¡¯s clothes for him! Xiu Jin: ¡­ Could her tiny arms and legs wash a full grown man¡¯s clothes? Xiu Jin was filled with anger. What did Lu Yu teach his granddaughter, how could she treat random strangers so well. ¡°Grandpa is going to wear his own clothes in the future. I¡¯ve already given one set to Zhu Yuan, I can¡¯t take again.¡± The little girl said to the little bear. The was the real reason Bian Bian was washing Zhu Yuan¡¯s clothes for him. She was ¡®stingy¡¯. She didn¡¯t want to give grandpa¡¯s clothes to Zhu Yuan, however, he didn¡¯t have any other clothes to wear, so she could only wash the clothes he previously had on. That way he could have clothes to change into. The little girl thoughtfully thought. Xiu Jin instantly felt comforted. So the reason precious was washing Zhu Yuan¡¯s clothes for him was because she couldn¡¯t bear to give grandpa¡¯s clothes to him. An adult¡¯s clothes couldn¡¯t be washed in the wash basin, so Bian Bian filled a tub with water before throwing the shirt in. Then, she poured washing powder into it. When Bian Bian saw the water start to turn dark red, she started worrying. Too dirty. After changing the water a few times, the water finally started becoming clearer. Bian Bian was extremely tired. She didn¡¯t think that washing an adult¡¯s clothes would be so difficult. In the end, after stretching her aching arms, she decided to let the clothes stay in the water for now. Uncle could wash it himself when he woke up. Grandpa had taught her the phrase do as much as you can, so Bian Bian didn¡¯t feel that being unable to continue halfway through washing the clothes was considered giving up. Xiu Jin laughed when he heard his precious daughter mumbling in her adorable voice. Baby was just this clever, having such a wide range of knowledge at this young age. However, if old man Lu could teach precious allusions, then why couldn¡¯t he teach her to read?! At the thought of how his precious daughter couldn¡¯t read, Xiu Jin felt a headache creeping in. Bian Bian couldn¡¯t read, so he couldn¡¯t use writing to communicate with precious, while doing things in front of her face may or may not scare her, thus causing intimacy points to fall once again. How was he going to increase his points if he didn¡¯t do anything. Xiu Jin was going bald from worrying. When an incoming call appeared, Xiu Jin could only go out of the game to accept the call. It was from one of his friends. ¡°Ah Jin, do you have anything on today?¡± ¡°Why?¡± ¡°It¡¯s my son¡¯s birthday today and I¡¯m having a small gathering. Do you want to come over and play?¡± Xiu Jin was about to refuse because he was still raising his precious. How could he have any energy to go to a birthday party. However, before he could refuse, he suddenly thought of something¡­ ¡°How old is your son?¡± ¡°He¡¯s six,¡± His friend replied. ¡°He¡¯s probably not going to remember you any more if you don¡¯t come.¡± A thought flashed past Xiu Jin¡¯s mind. A six year old boy. He could be considered around the same age as precious. He couldn¡¯t guess the thought pattern of his in-game daughter, however if he could interact with other children in real life, would it help with increasing his intimacy points with precious? With that thought in mind, the seventh prince immediately agreed. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll be there in a minute.¡± He had to gain experience from other children! ? Xiu Jin¡¯s friend was a carefree aristocrat named Mei Shao Xian. He got married at a young age and had a son named Mei Qing Ruo. Mei Qing Rou was a six year old gentlemen. When Xiu Jin entered, Mei Jing Ruo bowed like an adult, his pronunciation perfect, ¡°Your seventh highness.¡± Xiu Jin: ¡­ ¡°Call me uncle.¡± ¡°Hello seventh uncle.¡± He swept an eye over the boy. ¡°Are six year olds¡­ all so tall?¡± His precious daughter seemed even more malnourished when compared to Mei Qing Ruo. Mei Qing Ruo looked up at Xiu Jin, replying in earnest, ¡°I am 1.35 metres, papa is 1.9. I am not tall compared to him.¡± Xiu Jin thought, this was already tall for a six year old. The little boy seemed to sound slightly displeased with it. After giving the gift to the child, he decided to first have a chat with Mei Shao Xian to ask him about how he usually interacted with Mei Qing Ruo. Mei Shao Xian thought that he had heard wrong. Xiu Jin actually asked him this kind of question. ¡°Why, is the emperor already rushing you to get married and have children?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t think too much, answer my question first.¡± Mei Shao Xian continued, ¡°Then why would you be interested in child raising? You aren¡¯t¡­¡± ¡°Are you going to answer me or not?¡± Xiu Jin glared at him. Mei Shao Xian shrugged. ¡°Well that¡¯s a difficult question. Usually when I¡¯m working, the child is with his mom. I don¡¯t have much time to accompany Qing Ruo. However in my free time I will bring him out for walks and play games with him.¡± ¡°Does your son like you?¡± ¡°Obviously.¡± Mei Shao Xian boasted, ¡°That¡¯s my son, who else is he going to like if not me.¡± Xiu Jin¡¯s lips twitched. Speaking as if no one has a kid. It¡¯s just that his was in a game. Xiu Jin wanted to inquire a bit more, however with other guests coming in, Mei Shao Xian had to go and welcome them so Xiu Jin could only let him go. He turned and pulled Mei Qing Ruo over to the side. ¡°Little Mei¡¯zi.¡± Little boy Mei Qing Ruo frowned, disapproving, ¡°Seventh uncle, I have a name. My name is Mei Qing Ruo, not little Mei¡¯zi.¡± Since Xiu Jin had something to ask of him, he changed the address. ¡°Little Qing Ruo, lets say you¡¯re alone at home and everything you want do requires the help of an adult. Just then, you find out that an invisible person has entered the house and is trying to help you. Do you think that this person is a good person?¡± Little Mei¡¯s eyes widened. He immediately shook his head, ¡°That person snuck into my house, how could they be a good person?¡± ¡°Trying to help me while hiding their identity? That person¡¯s obviously going to do something bad.¡± The boy continued to make his conclusion, ¡°This person is definitely a bad guy and a pervert!¡± So, in baby¡¯s heart, he was a big pervert? That¡¯s where the -50 came from? Xiu Jin: ¡­ He asked, ¡°Little Qing Ruo, what is that person going to have to do to make you feel unafraid?¡± Mei Qing Ruo pondered for a moment before shaking his head. ¡°I don¡¯t know. Anyways, if an invisible baddie ran into the house, I will immediately sound the police alarm in the house. The police will come here soon and bring the pervert away.¡± Xiu Jin: ¡­ He felt like he was asking the wrong person for help. When Xiu Jin reopened the game and found that his precious daughter was chewing on raw instant noodles again, he couldn¡¯t care about whether or not his intimacy points would reduce. He quickly brought today¡¯s share of red apple from the market. Luckily, the apple tasted much better than the instant noodles. He was simply unable to continue watching his precious drink cold water and eat instant noodles without doing something. How could the seventh prince¡¯s child eat these?! As a soft ¡®dong¡¯ sounded, Bian Bian looked up and found that, just like the previous day, an apple more than half the size of her head had appeared on the table. The little lass immediately knew that the baddie hadn¡¯t left yet, he was still here. Bian Bian cautiously looked around, like a little animal scanning their surrounding. However, probably because there was an extra Zhu Yuan in the house, this time around Bian Bian wasn¡¯t as afraid. Her views had also changed. It was okay even if the baddie wanted to fatten her up before eating her. She could ask uncle Zhu Yuan to help chase away the baddie when he wakes up! So, to Bian Bian who had already had a taste of the apple yesterday, the allure of this new apple wasn¡¯t small at all. That made Bian Bian feel that the instant noodles in her hands feel even less yummy. And so, Xiu Jin saw the system give out a notification that made one happy: [Intimacy point +5] ??? Xiu Jin was stunned. He stared at this notification in a daze for one whole minute. That truly was a +5 that moved the world! A certain weird expression surfaced on papa Xiu¡¯s face, and the smart butler just so happened to witness it. After thorough examination, the smart butler decided to give this expression a name¡ª¡ª¡ª tears of joy. He even very, very fearlessly made it into an expression package and sent it to Xiu Jin. could u imagine hurting this precious^ ? also. Wowww another update five hours later who would¡¯ve guessed! Um ok next update by Monday, again lol, let¡¯s see if I¡¯ll keep this ¡®streak¡¯ up CH 10 Zhu Yuan was dumbfounded when he woke up. First, half of his ability had recovered. Judging from how exhausted it had been previously, he thought that for him to completely recover, it would need at least half a month. However, after waking up, not only was the injury in his chest not hurting as much, even his ability was half recovered? What the hell! The plotlines of strange cultivation novels he¡¯d read before the apocalypse appeared in his mind. Things like how the male lead was bound to run into chance encounters after surviving great disasters. So, had he run into some chance encounter while dreaming? He lifted a hand by reflex and made a wind sphere appear in his palm. Zhu Yuan sat up. Something rolled off his body with a crisp cling, and, as he looked towards the sound, his eyes widened. Heavens! An air type crystal! There wasn¡¯t only one but many, plus all of these crystals were level 2 crystals, the equivalent of a C class ability user. He hurriedly peeled the blankets away to pick up the crystals. As his gaze shifted, it landed on the metal box atop the bedside cabinet and his body completely. stiffened What did he just see?! A box of crystals, with every type of ability in it! They were all around level 2. Zhu Yuan¡¯s hands trembled slightly as he picked the box up and reached towards the corner to pick out three slightly larger crystals. Those were¡­ Level 3 crystals. Zhu Yuan¡¯s breathing grew heavy. Not only were there about a hundred level 2 crystals in the metal box, but there were also three level 3 crystals. What kind of crazy wealthy existence was this? Even if Zhu Yuan had seen and heard much, his legs still softened at the scent of this ¡®wealth¡¯. He had survived in the apocalypse for five years and the majority of crystals he had were level 1s. Ordinary zombies didn¡¯t leave crystals behind after dying while the lowest level was a level one zombie. Level two crystals were fairly rare too. When zombies evolved into the second stage, they gained the ability to summon zombies with levels lower than theirs, so the chances of a C class ability user to win a battle when meeting a level 2 zombie wasn¡¯t high. To Zhu Yuan, he wouldn¡¯t be in danger as long as he didn¡¯t run into a crowd of level 2 zombies. If he ran into a level 3 zombie, then the only he could do was to run for his life. He and Du Ming Yu risked their lives to killed that injured level 3 zombie. After getting that level 3 crystal, it should¡¯ve been something worth celebrating, instead, it led to him getting backstabbed by Du Ming Yu. Right now, he was seeing three level 3 crystals in a metal box. Amidst his shock, he felt that this was rather ironic. With another look at the cartoon print on the lid of the box, he immediately understood where this box came from. Zhu Yuan¡¯s heartbeat sped up. What would happen if he left with this box? He couldn¡¯t help laughing sardonically. That truly was a tempting amount of wealth. Especially to the currently penniless him¡ªhis family assets were all in the car that Du Ming Yu drove away. Zhu Yuan took a deep breath and placed the green crystal back into the box. His gaze swept past the three level 3 crystals before he covered it back up. Now, he finally understood why his injuries healed so quickly after a nap, and why even his ability had recovered more than half. It was because he had absorbed a large amount of level 2 crystals. They were even the same type. Zhu Yuan¡¯s chest trembled. The hand on the metal box was also shaking slightly. Now, in the fifth year into the apocalypse, he was used to humanity¡¯s selfishness, pretentiousness, coldness. Yet it turns out¡­. This world wasn¡¯t as cold as he thought. Or perhaps¡­ this was just the pure innocent kindness in a child. Clang. A sound from outside drew Zhu Yuan out of his thoughts. He quickly put down the metal box and took large strides over to open the door. In the dimly lit living room, a tiny little figure was squatting down, reaching out an equally tiny little hand to pick up the broken glass pieces on the ground. The sight made his eyelids twitch. What if the sharp glass pieces cut her hand! ¡°Bian Bian.¡± Zhu Yuan subconsciously smiled, softening his tone. Bian Bian looked up and immediately cried out happily, ¡°Uncle Zhu Yuan, you¡¯re awake?¡± When Zhu Yuan walked over, Bian Bian played with her fingers, explaining in a rather embarrassed manner, ¡°I wanted to pour some water for you but broke the cup.¡± She would feed Zhu Yuan water after a certain amount of time. Seeing that there wasn¡¯t much water in the cup, she took the cup into the living room to refill it. Unfortunately, she accidentally dropped the cup onto the ground. The little girl¡¯s heart ached slightly. However, what¡¯s good was that there were still many good cups left in the house. ¡°Good thing the water wasn¡¯t wasted.¡± The little girl pointed at the remaining half bottle of water, speaking like an adult, ¡°The cup can shatter but water cannot be wasted.¡± Then, she continued picking up the shattered glass. Broken glass pieces must be picked up immediately, or else it would be easy to harm oneself¡ª Bian Bian¡¯s feet were once victims of it. ¡°Let uncle do it.¡± Zhu Yuan pulled Bian Bian over to the side. The little girl was clever too and ran into the washroom to bring a broom and dustpan over. Looking at Bian Bian¡¯s practiced movements, Zhu Yuan paused for a while before asking, ¡°How long have you been living alone for?¡± Bian Bian dragged the broom that was much taller than her as she thought carefully before shaking her head. ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Zhu Yuan felt bad for her and a hint of it flashed past the bottom of his eyes. He didn¡¯t continue on this topic. Taking the broom, he cleaned everything up at lightning speed while Bian Bian happily hugged her little bear at the sidelines. It is much faster with uncle cleaning up. ¡°Uncle Zhu Yuan, I¡¯ve already put your clothes into the water, however I can¡¯t manage to wash it.¡± Bian Bian felt ashamed when saying those words. What she meant to say was uncle, quickly finish cleaning your clothes, that way you can take grandpa¡¯s clothes off after they dry. Zhu Yuan glanced at the basin in the washroom and chuckled. After surviving in the apocalypse for a few years, most of the time when his clothes were dirtied or ruined, he would go into clothes shops to find another set. Clothes were very easy to find, unlike food. Looking at his clothes laying there in the basin, a surprising warmth covered his heart and he subconsciously wanted to reach out and rub Bian Bian¡¯s head. However, he felt something stop him, and after that his hand was deflected. Zhu Yuan: ? He looked at his hand with an odd look. A moment later, meeting Bian Bian¡¯s bright and clear eyes, he thought, perhaps it was Bian Bian subconsciously operating her ability to protect herself. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll wash it later. Thank you Bian Bian.¡± ¡°You¡¯re welcome.¡± The little girl replied in her adorable voice. Then she summoned her courage, ¡°Uncle Zhu Yuan, can you help me cook the noodles?¡± The little girl turned around and picked up the instant noodles, her large eyes shooting over at Zhu Yuan eagerly. ¡°The noodles grandpa cook are delicious, however I can¡¯t reach the stove to cook it.¡± Zhu Yuan asked, ¡°How do you usually eat?¡± The little girl pointed at the instant noodles, then pointed at the water. Zhu Yuan¡¯s heart ached badly for her. It was hard to imagine the scene of a young child surviving alone. He guessed the Bian Bian and her grandfather relied on her other for survival, however grandpa got into an accident. Plus, through the various metal defences inside the house, one could tell that he was a metal type ability user. He was even very strong, because that box of crystals was the best evidence. That¡¯s how they were able to safely survive here. Even though little Bian Bian had the most mysterious ability of all, however as she was too young and couldn¡¯t control it well, unable to ask others for help, she could only live alone. Zhu Yuan took the instant noodles and went into the kitchen. Seeing that all the kitchen appliances were Therese couldn¡¯t help thinking of the image of an old man busying about in the kitchen while little Bian Bian was bouncing around beside him. When he opened the cabinets, he was surprised and delighted to find that there was even rice inside! This time even Zhu Yuan was hungry. There was rice and a gas stove, which meant that they couldn¡¯t eat a normal hot dinner. Even he hadn¡¯t eaten hot food for a long time and really missed it. Gulping, he turned and asked, ¡°Bian Bian, would you like to have rice?¡± Bian Bian¡¯s eyes lit up as she nodded.delicious fragrant rice could only be each when grandpa was here. She didn¡¯t couldn¡¯t cook it herself either, Bian Bian hadn¡¯t had rice for along time and was nearly about to forget the last of rice. Next she seemed to remember something and reached out to tug Zhu Yuan¡¯s sleeve, her large grape-like eyes shining. She spread her arms out. ¡°I went to the supermarket yesterday. There were a lot of things inside, including pickled mustard tuber.¡± Pickled mustard tuber with rice, the best pair. The reason Bian Bian didn¡¯t take it yesterday was because it was too salty, after eating it she would only drink and drink and drink water, while water was even more precious than food. Bian Bian had tiny arms and legs and couldn¡¯t bring back too much water at one go. The ten mineral bottles yesterday was already Bian Bian¡¯s limit. Zhu Yuan would¡¯ve never thought that there would be supermarkets yet to be emptied near him. He lifted his wrist to take a look¡ª¡ªhe had a watch on his wrist. It was four in the afternoon, the rain outside had already stopped and the sun had also come out. Once again sensing the situation with his ability, he decided that going to the supermarket to look for pickled mustard tuber was not a problem. He noticed the large apple on the table when his gaze turned away, but didn¡¯t think of anything and only thought that that apple was also taken away from the supermarket by Bian Bian. It could be seen that there were many good things in there. No matter what, he had to take a trip and change little Bian Bian¡¯s meals! ¡°Okay, let/s go to the supermarket!¡± Bian Bian was so happy that she was about to start dancing. Her hands happily dug into her pockets. Zhu Yuan tried looking for weapons. He remembered that his gun had landed downstairs and turned and went to the balcony to peer down below, yet only saw the corpse of the zombie he slaughtered. His gun was gone. Zhu Yuan¡¯s heart constricted. There were two reasons the gun disappeared. It either was taken away by a zombie or taken away by an ability user. No matter which kind it was, perhaps, he shouldn¡¯t take the risk now while his wound wasn¡¯t completely healed. However, seeing that Bian Bian had already happily moved away the chair she placed against the door and remove the water bottle, he simply couldn¡¯t bear killing her excitement. After thinking for a while, he said, ¡°Bian Bian, can you wait here at home for me? Il¡¯l go and fetch it.¡± ¡°But, you don¡¯t know where it.¡± The moment he walked out of the front door, Zhu Yuan was given a fright by the metal wall in front of him. Immediately after, his face changed. He caught Bian Bian and rushed back behind the door, closing it. He breathing was unsteady and cold sweat fell from his back, pulling on the wound on his chest. Yet he could care about that at all. There¡¯s actually a high level zombie upstairs, and from the suppression level, it was at least a level 3, maybe even a level 4! Bian Bian: ? ¡°Uncle Zhu Yuan, are you okay?¡± She was frightened by Zhu Yuan¡¯s sudden movement. Zhu Yuan gulped. His throat muscles were slightly tensed up. He looked down and made eye contact with the little girl. ¡°Bian Bian, were you living here with grandpa previously?¡± Bian Bian nodded. ¡°Do you know that upstairs¡­¡± The terrifying feeling of being shrouded under a high level zombie¡¯s suppression made Zhu Yuan¡¯s scalp numb. How did little Bian Bian and here grandpa survive under the zombie¡¯s suppression¡± Before he could finish his sentence, the little girl lowered her head sadly. Tears fell and she secretly raised her hand to wipe them away. She whispered, ¡°That¡¯s grandpa.¡± Zhu Yuan: ¡­ Zhu Yuan: ??? Zhu Yuan: !!! On the other side, Xiu Jin¡¯s face turned black the moment he saw Zhu Yuan pick his precious daughter up. He pulled and pulled at Zhu Yuan¡¯s hand, his finger only stopping when his precious daughter left Zhu Yuan¡¯s claws. He was not going to argue with Zhu Yuan However, Zhu Yuan had already made his precious cry. Xiu Jin started burning with fury at that sight. But when he saw how scared this lad was of Lu Yu, for some reason, he felt much better. ¡°Dare to have other thought of precious, hmph, I¡¯ll let Lu Yu out to chew you to death!¡± The author has something to say: This is the first update, today big pile is adding an update. Going to upload when the second update is finished, jiu~ the author is not me, me is not the author, me is not going to give you another update today. [??????? ¨ª??????¨»?? s????] actually never mind I¡¯ve decided to go on my spree right now. The Female Lead is Raised by Bosses is officially dropped. seriously. Byee see y¡¯all on my spree~ CH 11 Zhu Yuan figured out the purpose of the metal wall immediately. He also understood how little Bian Bian was so lucky to not meet a single zombie when she went out yesterday to look for food. There are level three, even four zombies here, the entire area is its territory. The other zombies would only come if they were full. The few zombies that he and Du Mingyu encountered on the way were likely only passing by. They drove right around the time the zombies were escaping this place. Both sides met on a narrow path and Du Mingyu used these zombies to get away with the level three crystal. Zhu Yuan¡¯s heart rate gradually subsided. He crouched down to be on the same level as Bian Bian and looked at her warmly and said, ¡°Bian Bian, your grandpa loves you a lot.¡± Thinking about Bian Bian¡¯s grandfather¡¯s strength, and yet, he was still infected. He was afraid of hurting Bian Bian when he became a zombie, but without him, Bian Bian will have a hard time living by herself. So, he sealed himself on the third floor, preventing himself from hurting Bian Bian, but still be able to cast an aura. When the suppressing aura of a high-level zombie is released, there wouldn¡¯t be zombies approaching unless an even higher level zombie wants to occupy the area, so it would be very safe for Bian Bian to look for food. ¡°The old man planned well for the future, covering everything for his granddaughter.¡± Zhu Yuan was in awe. What he said brought back the tears that Bian Bian was wiping. She hugged the little bear tightly without saying a word. Zhu Yuan suddenly regretted his words, and so he quickly added, ¡°Even though he can¡¯t live with you, he will always stay by your side to protect you.¡± ¡°I know that.¡± Little Bian Bian answered; she then looked up with a teary face and said, ¡°We¡¯re going to the supermarket to get some delicious food. And when the meal is cooked, send it to my grandfather. Zhu Yuan answered, ¡°Okay.¡± Although delivering things to a high-level zombie is very dangerous, Zhu Yuan did not want to ruin the little girl¡¯s happiness, so he needs to figure out a way to do it. All of a sudden a question struck him. Zombies need to eat, even those of high levels are the same. If Bian Bian¡¯s grandfather has been locked in the building since the beginning, then, he hasn¡¯t eaten anything since he turned? Then, he should be¡­ very weak right now. Looking at Bian Bian¡¯s delicate and beautiful face, Zhu Yuan didn¡¯t want to tell her such cruel things. Although he knew that the high-leveled zombie was Bian Bian¡¯s grandfather, and was blocked by a metal wall. Zhu Yuan unconsciously moved lightly to avoid making noises downstairs. Bian Bian thought it was weird, and caringly asked, ¡°Uncle Zhu Yuan, does your leg hurt?¡± Zhu Yuan: ¡°¡­¡­¡± He rubbed his nose awkwardly, should he tell little Bian Bian that he is afraid of her father hearing any sounds? Not waiting for him to speak, Bian Bian seemed to understand something and used her small hand to cover her mouth. Her long eyelashes fluttered as if to say, ¡°I understand. I¡¯ll also be quieter.¡± Zhu Yuan thought that if he was Bian Bian¡¯s grandfather and knew he was infected, he would certainly find ways to prepare everything for her. This type of angelic little person, how can anyone bear for her to be troubled. Xiu Jin had to admit that with another grown-up next to his little girl, he felt uncomfortable, but also very relieved. After all, Bian Bian is still too young and needs to be cared for by an adult. As long as Zhu Yuan is an upright person, it¡¯ll be good for Bian Bian. Thus, before he can spend a fortune buying things for his daughter, Zhu Yuan can make his daughter¡¯s quality of life a little better. The butler reported that the Feather King had arrived. Thinking that the flowery peacock was probably here to discuss the charity, Xiu Jin had to disconnect from the game to do his business since he already agreed to it. Huan Tianjue took off his gorgeous feather king outfit, wearing a rather slim, noble, and elegant suit. His looking for Xiu Jin was natural for only one reason: money. During the negotiations, Xiu Jin said he would just be providing the money and dealing with nothing else¡­ He just didn¡¯t want to see Huan Tianjue much because of the charity event. Xiu Jin was unhappy seeing the guy, and if he didn¡¯t, he wouldn¡¯t be angry. Huan Tianjue gladly agreed and said, ¡°After all, it was I who proposed this matter, and I am troubling Your Highness in funding it. How could I allow you to work? But isn¡¯t Your Highness afraid that I might use this large sum of money for other purposes?¡± Xiu Jin let out a ¡°Heh.¡± Although he doesn¡¯t like Huan Tianjue, he still acknowledged the sincerity of Huan Tianjue¡¯s character, ¡°If you have nothing else¡­¡±. He pointed his finger to the door, wanting to see the guest out. Huan Tianjue smiled and politely left. After the person left, the smart butler murmured, ¡°Your Highness, your attitude toward the Feather King was a little impolite. It is beneath your royal dignity.¡± Although the Feather clan is one of the four great noble clans of the empire, and Huan Tianjin is the King of the Feather Clan, in terms of status, he is not inferior to Xiu Jin. ¡°I¡¯m too lazy to pretend with him, his gentleman act in front of me is also pretend, who knows if he¡¯s cursing me in his heart.¡± Xiu Jin looked at his butler with narrowed eyes, ¡°Lin Yisan you are my butler, who taught you to bend your elbows the wrong way1.¡± The smart butler¡¯s serial number was 013, so Xiu Jin simply named him Lin Yisan2. Lin Yisan was quiet for a few seconds, then smartly changed the subject and said, ¡°His Third Highness is back and has already learned that you took away his holographic projector.¡± ¡°When?¡± Xiu Jin asked. ¡°Just now.¡± Lin Yisan answered. Xiu Jin¡¯s initial reaction was to hide the holographic projector, not to let his big brother find it. He immediately did this and also ordered Lin Yisan, ¡±Block the door, you¡¯re not allowed to let him in¡± Lin Yisan obediently blocked the door. After some time, Xiu Yan came over, and with him was his intelligent housekeeper, a female robot. Xiu Yan and Xiu Jin have the same parents. Both brothers resemble each other, but compared to Xiu Jin¡¯s ageless babyface, Xiu Yan has deeper contours and shows a cold temperament. Usually, he can use his eyes to kill others. He looked at Lin Yisan with a smile and said, ¡°Open the door.¡± Lin Yisan thought he must resist feebly, so he expressionlessly said ¡°Your Third Highness, His Highness is not home. If you need anything, I will let you know when he returns.¡± Xiu Yan then said, ¡°Rita, what do you think?¡± The female robot called Rita and Lin Yisan both looked at each other miserably. Two seconds later, Lin Yisan smiled and quickly opened the door saying ¡°Your Third Highness, please enter. His Highness is inside and is currently hiding your holographic projector.¡± Xiu Yan strode in and went directly to the second floor. Rita held Lin Yisan¡¯s hands and said, ¡°Let¡¯s get out and hide for a while.¡± Lin Yisan agreed, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± The two robots held hands and headed out, but the place they went to was still His Third Highness¡¯s house. ¡°I heard you¡¯re cooperating with Tianjue for a charity.¡± Xiu Jin felt unsafe and was a little annoyed after hiding for such a long time. Don¡¯t look at how carefree he made Lin Yisan go and get the holographic projector, because he knows that the device is the Third Highness¡¯s favorite. Moreover, this is something that can only be obtained through luck, otherwise, Xiu Jin would have already bought one. So when he let Lin Yisan take the device, he was already prepared to negotiate with Xiu Yan. But knowing Xiu Yan¡¯s character, the probability of his success isn¡¯t high. He decided to act first, report later. Anyway, growing up, Xiu Yan also took a lot of his stuff. So it¡¯s no big deal for him to take something once. He didn¡¯t think Lin Yisan would let Xiu Yan in so quickly. Xiu Jin fiercely scolded Lin Yisan in his head, shoving the holographic projector under the quilt. ¡°Huan Tianjue mentioned it to Father. Nevertheless, helping refugees is a good thing, so I agreed.¡± After speaking, he faced Xiu Yan with an innocent expression and asked, ¡°Third brother, when did you come back?¡± Unlike Xiu Jin, who was in business, the third prince of the empire, Xiu Yan, joined the army. He is a natural-born general, and after ten years in the military, he became the youngest general in the empire. If Xiu Jin was a noble prince that grew up in a honey pot, then Xiu Yan was a soldier with real weapons and real bullets and not a prince. So every once in a while, Xiu Jin was afraid of his third brother. But only a tiny bit! Xiu Yan¡¯s gaze swept around, then he picked up Xiu Jin as easy as a chicken and pulled off the quilt. Xiu Jin became anxious and hastily said, ¡°Brother, my dear brother! You¡¯re not normally home, and this equipment is never used, so isn¡¯t it better for me to use it when you¡¯re not home.¡± Xiu Yan frowned, ¡°You can borrow other things, but not this one.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Xiu Jin asked. He thought that if he didn¡¯t have this, how would he play happily with his beloved daughter. ¡°It belongs to someone else and I need to give it back.¡± Xiu Yan answered. ¡°???¡± Xiu Jin found that he was serious and said, ¡°You didn¡¯t say it was somebody else¡¯s before I used it, now that I¡¯m borrowing it to use it, you¡¯re saying it¡¯s somebody else¡¯s and you need to give it back. Xiu Yan raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiu Jin. Xiu Jin: ¡°¡­¡­¡± He took two steps backward. This isn¡¯t fear, but a strategic retreat! This holographic projector set was originally given to Xiu Yan by a friend to maintain and take care of, so he treated it seriously. In the eyes of others, it has become his favorite thing. And its function is peculiar, but Xiu Yan doesn¡¯t know much about it. When his friend comes back, he should return it to them. Who would¡¯ve thought that it¡¯d go missing when he searched for it at home. Anybody with a brain could easily tell who took it. Xiu Yan observed Xiu Jin¡¯s expression and said, ¡°If you want to project something, then buy another projector.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not the same,¡± said Xiu Jin. Because only this device enables him to interact with the game, the others don¡¯t. Xiu Jin still felt like Xiu Yan didn¡¯t want to lend it, so he used that excuse. He then changed his tactics and said, ¡°If you won¡¯t let me borrow it, then I¡¯ll buy it. Tell me how much do you want?¡¯¡¯ Xiu Yan turned around and left. ¡°¡­¡­¡± Did he really leave just like that? Xiu Jin was so angry that he was going to ascend the heavens. He hurriedly ran after and asked, ¡°Are you really not lending it to me?¡± Xiu Yan said calmly, ¡°I¡¯ve already said that it¡¯s somebody else¡¯s and it must be returned.¡± This time it was clear that Xiu Yan wasn¡¯t lying. Xiu Jin was speechless, his tone softened and he asked, ¡°Who is the owner? I¡¯ll go and talk to him.¡± You have to spend a lot of money to purchase anything! Xiu Yan smiled at him, a smile that gave him goosebumps, and said, ¡°You know this person, it¡¯s Nong Jiusi.¡± Nong Jiusi, the Dragon clan¡¯s¡ª sole nine-clawed azure dragon. Xiu Jin: ¡°¡­¡­¡± How can a human prince give up his status and negotiate with a dragon? ¡°Baby, Daddy can only interact with you through the light brain now,¡± Xiu Jin thought blankly. CH 12 Looking around the small supermarket that was still filled with many things, Zhu Yuan felt a little incredulous. Unexpectedly, the items in the supermarket had not been thoroughly searched. Most of the packages have passed their expiration dates. But in extraordinary times such as these, as long as the contents are not spoiled, it can be eaten. The items in the supermarket could be considered a rather decent fortune. ¡°Grandpa found it,¡± said Bian Bian, bending down to put a dish sponge that had fallen to the floor on the shelf. This simple sentence made Zhu Yuan understand. It was precisely because the supermarket was nearby and there was a lot of food that had not been searched, that Bian Bian¡¯s grandfather decided to settle here. Even though he settled down, he didn¡¯t move all the food from the supermarket to his house. If someone were to pass by, they would be able to take some. This was also the reason why Bian Bian, who had finished all the food at home and was so hungry that she mustered up the courage to look outside, could find food immediately¡ª She knew where the food was.Zhu Yuan found a few packs of mu er and vermicelli. He thought that he could use them to make fried vermicelli and other dishes1Mu er is a type of mushroom. Vermicelli is a type of pasta.. Bian Bian followed him every step of the way. She glanced over every time he took something. There was a lot of canned luncheon meat left on the shelves. Zhu Yuan took quite a few as it was hard to come by. Bian Bian wanted to take them yesterday, but it would¡¯ve been useless since she couldn¡¯t open them. The little fellow only chose things that she could eat. She had to work hard just to open a bottle of mineral water. ¡°Ground meat and vermicelli. This is good.¡± Zhu Yuan said. The little girl¡¯s eyes brightened as she listened. Then, Zhu Yuan noticed that the little girl gazed longingly at the only bag of potato chips left on the shelf. Bian Bian wanted to take it since yesterday, but it was placed too high up. How could she reach it with her height? She thought at that time that the auntie and uncle she met would take the bag of chips, but they didn¡¯t, and the bag of chips was still there. Bian Bian felt a little happy, but she didn¡¯t ask Zhu Yuan to help her get it. She remembered when her grandfather used to take her to this supermarket to get things. Back when Lu Yu brought Bian Bian here to live, there were still many items in the supermarket. Occasionally, when it was confirmed that there was no danger, Lu Yu would bring Bian Bian along with him to the store. The two experienced the joys of visiting a supermarket. Back then, little Bian Bian¡¯s favorite thing to do was picking out different kinds of snacks. She would stare eagerly at Lu Yu and wait for his approval. Although it has already been five years since the apocalypse, that old man still stubbornly held onto a few pre-apocalyptic ways of thinking. For instance: Potato chips are junk food. It holds too many additives, so it¡¯s not suitable for children to eat a lot. He would instill this ¡®knowledge¡¯ into Bian Bian. Since they had enough provisions, there was no need to let Bian Bian eat junk food. If other people knew how he raised Bian Bian, they would roll their eyes and call him crazy. Who cares about these things when the world has already ended? It¡¯s simply poor taste. Thus, Bian Bian would seek Lu Yu¡¯s opinion whenever she picked snacks. She didn¡¯t beg even if Lu Yu disapproved. She just blinked her big eyes and looked at Lu Yu obediently. How could Lu Yu resist? He indulged his granddaughter time and time again. Initially, there had been more than ten bags of potato chips. In the end, only this bag was left. All the others had entered Bian Bian¡¯s little tummy. Back then, Bian Bian loved crunching on the potato chips. Lu Yu would use the potato chips, instant ramen, and flour to make savory pancakes. Even if it was junk food, Lu Yu used various tricks to make Bian Bian delicious food. Of course, that didn¡¯t stop him from instilling the idea that these were all unhealthy foods. A hand reached for the bag of potato chips and opened it. After tasting a piece and making sure that it didn¡¯t taste strange, he handed it to Bian Bian. ¡°Thank you, Uncle Zhu Yuan.¡± Bian Bian paused before accepting, her eyes curving into a crescent shape. Zhu Yuan¡¯s large hand gently patted the little girl¡¯s messy hair. Without Lu Yu braiding Bian Bian¡¯s hair, she always tied it crookedly. Zhu Yuan noticed that although the little girl¡¯s hair was messy, it was not dirty. Even though a child¡¯s metabolism is different from that of an adult¡¯s, her hair will become dirty if not washed in a couple of days. But Bian Bian¡¯s hair was very clean and doesn¡¯t look like it hadn¡¯t been washed for a long time. Without electricity, Bian Bian had no way to boil water. So how did she maintain such clean hair? Zhu Yuan asked: ¡°Bian Bian, did you wash your hair by yourself?¡± Bian Bian stuffed a piece of potato chip into her mouth. The snack¡¯s familiar taste reminded her of her grandfather, but Bian Bian didn¡¯t show it. She nodded her head and said: ¡°Grandpa helped me wash it before, but I learned how to wash it by myself later.¡± ¡°How¡­ do you wash it?¡± ¡°It¡¯s really easy.¡± The little girl looked a bit proud. She was proud that she could wash her hair by herself. ¡°I turned on the faucet, filled the basin with water, poured shampoo, rubbed/kneaded until there were bubbles, and then rinsed it out. Then I dried my hair with a clean towel to finish.¡± She thoughtfully and meticulously explained her process without missing a step. ¡°It¡¯s a little cold, but I¡¯m already used to it.¡± The water was cold. Although it was still summer, it was still cold; but she gritted her teeth and got used to it. Bian Bian learned how to ¡®endure¡¯ a lot in a short amount of time. ¡°Grandpa taught Bian Bian to be clean. I can¡¯t not wash my hair because grandpa isn¡¯t here.¡± Zhu Yuan¡¯s heart felt conflicted, but thankful at the same time. Fortunately, the little girl was an ability user, meaning that her body was stronger than an average person¡¯s. Otherwise, based on what she said, she would¡¯ve gotten sick a long time ago. During the apocalypse, even a small cold can lead to death. Using the ingredients brought back from the supermarket, Zhu Yuan made mu er with fried meat, ground meat vermicelli, and a bowl of white rice. The ingredients were limited. Thankfully, Zhu Yuan knew how to cook even before the apocalypse, and his skills were not that bad. After the two dishes and the soup were cooked, the sweet aroma made Bian Bian¡¯s stomach rumble. Zhu Yuan fed the young girl several pieces of luncheon meat. Seeing her eat like a small hamster made him feel satisfied. This child is so skinny. She doesn¡¯t even look like a five-year-old. He thought. By the time the dishes were done and placed on the table, the sky was already dark. Bian Bian had already lit a few small candles. To get more light, she lit a few more. The young girl felt a little distressed. Usually, she only lit one. One candle could be used for a very long time. Zhu Yuan saw through the little girl¡¯s thoughts and patted her head. comforting her, He said: ¡°Uncle is here. We can go look for more when we run out of them.¡± Bian Bian felt relieved and smiled happily. Zhu Yuan¡¯s food was as delicious as her grandpa¡¯s in the little girl¡¯s heart. He must also be as amazing as grandpa, so she did not need to worry about finding candles. ¡°We can eat now,¡± said Zhu Yuan. He knew that little Bian Bian must be hungry. Bian Bian took out an empty bowl and said: ¡°For grandpa.¡± She had not forgotten what she had said before. She will serve the food to her grandpa. Zhu Yuan was silent. He knew that this was Bian Bian¡¯s filial piety towards her grandfather, but how can he explain to the little girl that giving him food to him would be dangerous? That aside, even if the rice was given, ordinary food was of no use to zombies. Zombies didn¡¯t know how to eat. What zombies needed to eat was flesh and blood. Fresh flesh and blood. ¡°Uncle Zhu Yuan?¡± Bian Bian was extremely bright. Thinking about how Zhu Yuan had gone downstairs with light and gentle movements, she immediately understood and obediently said, ¡°I¡¯m not scared. I brought grandpa food and water yesterday. I¡¯ll just put the meal on top. Grandpa will get it by himself if he¡¯s hungry.¡± Hearing the little girl¡¯s innocent words, Zhu Yuan sighed and scorned the cowardice in his own heart. Even if Bian Bian¡¯s grandfather was a high-level zombie, there was still a metal wall. ¡°Give your grandpa some more meat.¡± Zhu Yuan took the empty bowl and piled the bowl high with food under Bian Bian¡¯s shining gaze. Bian Bian held the candle while Zhu Yuan held the bowl, and together they walked to the corridor. The area was eerily silent. There was only the dim light emitted by the candle. Zhu Yuan did his best to ignore the horrific pressure that seemed to pierce through his bones. He listened carefully but there was no sound coming from upstairs. For Zhu Yuan, just taking a few steps felt like walking on a knife¡¯s edge. However, Bian Bian was not affected at all. If she were alone, then she probably would have been a little scared. However, there was someone by her side, and Hui Hui was also with her, so she was not afraid. She had wanted to carry the bowl by herself, but Zhu Yuan was worried that she¡¯d drop it. Furthermore, how could he just watch as little Bian Bian went by herself? The bowl filled with food happened to fit perfectly in the small hole. The sound of footsteps could be heard, further amplified by the silence. When Zhu Yuan heard this sound, his scalp went numb. There was no time to think. As soon as he heard the horrific sound , he picked up Bian Bian and sped back to the room. Even from outside the door, the impact could be heard. Thankfully, after a while, the noises ceased. When his heartbeat calmed down, he noticed Bian Bian¡¯s silence. Zhu Yuan hurriedly said, ¡°Okay, since we¡¯ve brought grandpa his meal, we should eat too. ¡° ¡°M¡¯kay.¡± Bian Bian nodded her head. The candle in her hand had gone out. Zhu Yuan did not see the little girl secretly wiping her eyes. Children¡¯s emotions come and go quickly. The two enjoyed a rare, hearty meal together. Bian Bian ate two bowls, stopping after she was satisfied and her stomach was round. The rest was finished by Zhu Yuan. Perhaps they ate too well, as the duo forgot about the existence of the large apple tree. After eating, Zhu Yuan went to Lu Yu¡¯s room and took out the iron box filled with crystals: ¡°Bian Bian, you need to hold on to this. You can¡¯t randomly take it out, understand?¡± Bian Bian seemed doubtful. Borrowing the light of the candle, she picked out a wind-type crystal and said: ¡°Uncle Zhu Yuan, you don¡¯t want this blue-green stone?¡± Zhu Yuan did not know how to explain. Of course, he needed a crystal with the same element. Not only could it be used for practice, these crystals had become the currency during the apocalypse. The money used before the apocalypse had become nothing more than scraps of paper. But this was Bian Bian¡¯s. He was a healthy man with hands and feet. Even if he was deeply moved by this large amount of wealth, he could not just take it like that. Otherwise, there would be no difference between him and Du Mingyu. ¡°Bian Bian.¡± Zhu Yuan said, ¡°Do you know what these stones are?¡± Bian Bian nodded. ¡°These stones are very precious. You cannot just give them to other people. These are yours, and you must hold on to them.¡± Bian Bian did not seem to understand, but she has always been obedient. Zhu Yuan told her to keep them safe, so she put the lid back onto the box. When Uncle Zhu Yuan needed them, she would give them to him then. That was what the little girl thought. Tonight, because Zhu Yuan was here, Bian Bian finally took a nice, hot bath. Zhu Yuan boiled water for Bian Bian, filled a large basin with water, and arranged everything else. To make it brighter, he placed three candles in the bathroom. Even if it wasn¡¯t as bright as it was during the day, there were no problems seeing. ¡°Bian Bian, just call uncle if there are any problems,¡± said Zhu Yuan. Naturally, he would not be helping the little girl bathe. He exited the bathroom and closed the door. Thinking back to the little girl¡¯s look of surprise at seeing the hot water, his heart ached. He sat on the sofa and began thinking about future plans. Getting to the base is a must. His eyes flashed with cold murderous intent at the thought of Du Mingyu. He was not a saint. Du Mingyu had treated him like that, and even after he had managed to survive that calamity. It was not in his nature to forget this hatred. Bian Bian saved him, and he owes her a great favor. He couldn¡¯t leave a little girl behind in a place like this. He should bring Bian Bian along with him to the base. Except¡­ Zhu Yuan frowned. Once Bian Bian¡¯s psychic abilities are revealed, the upper levels of the base will definitely take her away. ¡ªIn order to consolidate their strength, the major bases will recruit the strong from outside, while also cultivating special abilities within the base. Perhaps Bian Bian would be able to receive better care. However, there was a larger possibility that she would be forced to train and to infinitely explore her potential. There was also a possibility of¡­ Zhu Yuan squashed that idea down. He also thought of the high-level zombie upstairs that Bian Bian¡¯s grandfather had mutated into. He learned from Bian Bian that she didn¡¯t know what the base was. It was obvious that Bian Bian¡¯s grandfather had never taken her to live at the base. Even though he could, Bian Bian¡¯s grandfather did not want Bian Bian to go to the base. This was so he could hide Bian Bian¡¯s unique abilities. This was all for Bian Bian¡¯s sake. If he didn¡¯t bring Bian Bian, she would just continue living alone. But having seen how the little girl lived, how could Zhu Yuan bear to leave her by herself? He could bring Bian Bian to the base, but he was only a C ranked ability user. The base was strong like the clouds, how would he be able to protect Bian Bian? But he had to go to the base. Zhu Yuan rubbed his forehead, unsure of what to do. ¡°Uncle Zhu Yuan, I¡¯m done washing.¡± The bathroom door opened. Bian Bian walked out while hugging her bear. Zhu Yuan quickly put aside all his thoughts and led the little girl into the bedroom. Seeing her get into bed obediently, he could not help but smile. ¡°Do you want to keep the candles?¡± Bian Bian shook her head, yawning sleepily. Zhu Yuan did not say anymore, merely blowing out the candle before walking out of the bedroom. ¡°Good night, Uncle Zhu Yuan.¡± The little girl¡¯s soft voice came from behind. ¡°Good night, Bian Bian.¡± Zhu Yuan replied gently. He came to a decision. After his wound healed, he will take Bian Bian with him to the base. Although his strength will not allow him to protect her for long, he¡¯ll do his best for as long as he can. It was better than her living alone at such a young age in a freezing house. After hearing the door close, Bian Bian pulled the bear to her face in the darkness and whispered: ¡°Hui Hui, Uncle Zhu Yuan is a good person.¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± Xiu Jin, who freed some time in order to enter the game, heard Bian Bian¡¯s evaluation of Zhu Yuan. He stared at his -45 affection/intimacy points, and bit on his handkerchief gloomily! One was a good person. One was a bad person. It was a sharp contrast. Darling, aren¡¯t you too biased?! At that moment, a system notification popped up on the screen: [Warning! A level three corpse beast has appeared outside of Bian Bian¡¯s bedroom window! Danger level is three stars!!!] ¡°Corpse beast? What is that?¡± [A monster mutated from a zombie.] ¡°???¡± You¡¯re letting a fucking monster harass my little girl?! CH 13 The system remained unaware of Xiu Jin¡¯s wrath. Another sentence quickly popped up: [Will you choose to help Bian Bian survive this danger?] Xiu Jin: ¡°¡­¡± I can¡¯t even use gold; how am I supposed to help her. He glared at the screen. Was he supposed to stupidly hit the window? Would this kind of action scare the beast away? [Oh. I forgot that the intimacy level between Player One and Bian Bian was not high enough to acquire gold. It¡¯s regrettable, but you will only be able to watch.] The seventh prince cursed in his heart. As he anxiously watched the screen, he shouted at the smart butler: ¡°Lin Yisan, get in here!¡± The smart butler rolled in, and Xiu Jin said: ¡°Call Kerfu now!¡± Kerfu was the one who downloaded the game for him. Now that the game system had become like this, Xiu Jin didn¡¯t even have a place to vent his anger. Of course, he needed to find Kerfu, who had downloaded the game. Perhaps Kerfu would have a better understanding of it. The thought of Kerfu finding out that he fantasizes about a young girl instead of a beauty had utterly left his mind. He no longer cared whether or not it would leave a bad impression on his subordinates. He just wanted to fuck up this trashy system! The smart butler followed the order and said: ¡°Your Highness, Kerfu did not pick up.¡± Xiu Jin: ¡°¡­¡± A few seconds later: [The relationship between Player One and Bian Bian is special. Although there are not enough intimacy points, this is a unique circumstance. Bian Bian¡¯s safety is the priority. After serious consideration, I have decided to give you two choices.] [One, wake Lu Yu. Let the zombie fight the corpse beast to solve the crisis.] [Two, wait silently. Await Bian Bian¡¯s good fortune, which will result in an automatic solution to the crisis.] Two options appeared on the screen¡ª [Wake Lu Yu] and [Wait silently] Xiu Jin glared incredulously at the choices: ¡°Can¡¯t you just let me spend some money and buy a weapon?!¡± He knew that there was a column of weapons in the store. Those were all gray. As long as it was offered, he would be able to afford it no matter how much it cost. It didn¡¯t matter if Bian Bian wouldn¡¯t be able to use it. Zhu Yuan would be able to use it. But the trashy system ended up offering two utterly useless options. Wait¡ª ¡°Does waking Lu Yu up mean that he will regain his sanity?¡± [You are overthinking.] [Waking up Lu Yu in this instance means letting him break through the metal walls and gain freedom.] ¡°¡­¡­¡± What was the point? Wake Lu Yu up and scare the beast away, then who will deal with Lu Yu afterward? Zhu Yuan? That guy is already terrified without ever seeing Lu Yu¡¯s face. Relying on him to take care of Lu Yu? It would be easier to believe that pigs can fly. ¡°Are there no other choices?¡± The system did not respond. Xiu Jin shouted at the smart butler: ¡°Continue calling Kerfu.¡± The smart butler could only continue calling him, but no one picked up. [Please make your choice. If a decision is not made within 10 seconds, the first option will automatically be selected.] ¡°¡­¡± How could Xiu Jin let Lu Yu come out of the metal wall? He could only tap angrily on [Wait silently]. [Because you made the correct choice, you will be rewarded with +5 intimacy points.] Afterward, the system did not dare to draw attention to itself. Perhaps it knew how infuriating that sentence sounded and that it would cause Xiu Jin to fly into a terrible rage. Xiu Jin: ¡°¡­¡± After Zhu Yuan had helped Bian Bian settle in for the night, he entered the bathroom. He rinsed himself with the warm water left from Bian Bian¡¯s bath and washed the clothing that Bian Bian had soaked for him. When everything was finished, he was ready to go back to the bedroom to rest. It was at this moment that his ears twitched. He heard a strange movement. The hearing of an ability user is better than that of an average person¡¯s. Not to mention the fact that nighttime is extremely quiet, so any sound can be infinitely amplified in this environment. There¡¯s something outside! Zhu Yuan wasn¡¯t sure what was outside, so he listened carefully, and he could feel the thing climbing and moving on the wall. Zombies didn¡¯t know how to climb walls. A suspicion sprang up in his mind. He thought back to the gun that had disappeared after being dropped downstairs. Zhu Yuan¡¯s heart skipped a beat, his gaze turning vigilant. The house had been reinforced by Bian Bian¡¯s grandfather and served as a good defense. However, Zhu Yuan still took a candle and walked quickly towards Bian Bian¡¯s room. He hesitated a bit and gently opened the door. As soon as he entered, he was surprised to find out that the young girl he thought was asleep had already sat up from the bed. Bian Bian lifted a small finger in front of her lips in the dim light and made a ¡°shushing¡± motion at him. She was the first one to sense the movement and woke up from her dream. This sound was very familiar to Bian Bian. She heard it often in the morning over the past few days. Everything would be fine once they wait for the vibrations to stop. Zhu Yuan placed the candle on the bedside drawer and sat on the bed, ready to comfort the little girl silently. Screech¡ª A screeching sound came from outside the closed window as if nails were scraping against the surface of a stone. Zhu Yuan quickly picked Bian Bian up and retreated a few steps. He kept his gaze firmly on the window while gathering a ball of wind in his free hand. ¡°Uncle Zhu Yuan.¡± Bian Bian¡¯s small hands wrapped tightly around Zhu Yuan¡¯s neck. Her voice sounded frightened. ¡°Don¡¯t be scared. Uncle is here.¡± Zhu Yuan patted the little girl on the back. Bian Bian nodded, her grip tightening on Zhu Yuan¡¯s neck, not forgetting to pull her bear closer to her face. She stayed silent obediently, to not disturb Uncle Zhu Yuan. The sound outside was circling and probing around as if it had confirmed that there was ¡°food¡± inside. It shrieked incessantly, wanting to come in. Both of them were so focused that neither of the two noticed that a chair in the corner had begun to float. After thinking and deeming the chair to be too light, Xiu Jin switched to the wardrobe. The wardrobe was much heavier than the chair, so when and if the monster manages to get in, he¡¯ll use the wardrobe to smack it out. A few moments later, a loud crashing noise came from upstairs, followed by an inhuman roar. Then, the vibrations from outside the window went from loud to faint¡ª that was the sound of the monster running away, very quickly. The area quiets down again. A few seconds later, Bian Bian said in an experienced tone: ¡°The monster ran away.¡± The little girl explained how there had been vibrations in the mornings over the past few days. Zhu Yuan couldn¡¯t help but feel some lingering fear. Even Xiu Jin almost let loose a torrent of curses. According to Bian Bian, that level 3 corpse beast had been around for a while. That thing wasn¡¯t passing by but scouting the area. After scouting around for a few days, it had confirmed that people lived here, so it came over tonight in pursuit of its prey. If it weren¡¯t for Lu Yu¡¯s roar just now, that corpse beast would not have left so easily. When Xiu Jin saw this, he finally understood why the system said it was correct to choose [Wait silently]. Lu Yu was a high-level zombie. Despite having lost his sanity, he still had a sense of territory. He definitely wouldn¡¯t be pleased if his kind trespassed onto his territory. One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. That was the reason why. Xiu Jin had always thought that Lu Yu sealed the third floor because he didn¡¯t want to allow himself to hurt Bian Bian. Looking at it now, other than the sealed floor, he was still using his own way to protect his granddaughter. Even if he had become a zombie. Even if he lost his sanity. Before he turned into a zombie, he had already prepared everything. Xiu Jin had just begun to raise a child. While he did not fully sympathize with Lu Yu¡¯s actions, that did not prevent him from getting inspiration from them. For the time being, the crisis had been averted. Zhu Yuan began to think. Because Bian Bian¡¯s grandfather¡¯s powerful aura enveloped the area, no zombies dared to come and compete for territory. The thing that had fled was a corpse beast¡ª he could tell from the movement it made as it fled, though he wasn¡¯t sure which level the corpse beast was. However, this corpse beast dared to ignore the pressure and came to scout for food. That meant that its level was not low. Low-level corpse beasts did not have this kind of courage. Now the corpse beast has marked Bian Bian as prey. Tonight, Bian Bian¡¯s grandfather scared it away, but as long as it doesn¡¯t give up, the next time it comes to scout and discovers that Bian Bian¡¯s grandfather is sealed upstairs, it will probably no longer hesitate. The higher level the zombies and corpse beasts are, even if they don¡¯t have consciousness, their brains will evolve and they will become smarter. It¡¯s extremely difficult to make them give up on their prey. In other words, they are now being targeted by a corpse beast. At any given moment, there is a possibility of a confrontation with this corpse beast. As long as that corpse beast wasn¡¯t a level 3, at a lower level, Zhu Yuan is confident that he can kill it. However, all his intuition gained from life and death experiences tells him that there is a high possibility that the corpse beast was a level 3. If it was under level 2, it would have been impossible for it to resist Bian Bian¡¯s grandfather¡¯s aura. ¡°Uncle Zhu Yuan, grandpa scared away the monster just now.¡± The soft voice of a child pulled Zhu Yuan away from his scattered thoughts. He pushed down all his uneasy speculations and placed Bian Bian onto the bed. He met the little girl¡¯s bright gaze, stroked her head, and said: ¡°Grandpa was really amazing. We need to give grandpa our thanks.¡± The little girl was very happy. Her happiness rubbed off on Zhu Yuan and made his heart a lot less burdened. Even if the enemy was stronger than oneself, how could one be scared before the fight even began?! He was not like this before! If he was so greedy for life and afraid of death, how is he going to seek revenge on Du Mingyu? Zhu Yuan fiercely berated himself in his heart, and everything became clear. Even if the corpse beast was a level 3, he was a C ranked. And don¡¯t forget that Bian Bian was a psychic. If they work together, self-defense definitely won¡¯t be a problem. ¡°Uncle Zhu Yuan, you look very tired. You should go to bed.¡± Bian Bian worriedly extended her small hands to push Zhu Yuan. Uncle Zhu Yuan had injuries on his body, he needed to rest a lot to get better faster. ¡°I¡¯m not afraid alone.¡± She gently shook her little bear and snuggled under the blankets. ¡°I have Hui Hui with me.¡± After confirming that the little girl didn¡¯t need company, Zhu Yuan left the bedroom. To let Bian Bian feel more secure, he didn¡¯t extinguish the candle this time. Bian Bian turned, a determined expression adorned her face. The candle¡¯s flame reflected brightly in her eyes. After a while, she quietly whispered to her bear: ¡°Hui Hui, I have to be braver in the future. That way I won¡¯t be scared if something like that happened again.¡± She used her little finger to make the bear nod, indicating that Hui Hui was cheering for her. Content, Bian Bian closed her eyes and fell asleep once again under the dim candlelight. Although the little girl felt bad about the candle, after the incident earlier, the lit candle did make her feel safer inside. This was what gave her the idea of becoming braver. As long as she was more courageous and not afraid, she would not have to waste more candles at night¡ª sometimes, the equations in a child¡¯s mind are this strange. ¡°Sweetie, you¡¯re already brave enough.¡± Xiu Jin pulled the blankets up for his precious daughter. His darling slept sprawled on her stomach, her small face pressed into a pout. She was adorable no matter how he looked, and he couldn¡¯t resist the urge to affectionately poke her cheeks. The baby¡¯s long eyelashes fluttered because of his movements, and he guiltily retracted his hand in a hurry. He wasn¡¯t sure if it was a psychological effect, but Xiu Jin kept thinking that his precious daughter looked a lot like him, especially the nose. Xiu Jin touched his own nose, then looked at Bian Bian¡¯s. It was practically the same. He suddenly remembered reading from some random book that sleeping on one¡¯s stomach was not good for the body. For the sake of his precious daughter¡¯s health, Xiu Jin carefully manipulated the screen, lifted the quilt, turned his baby girl over, and then covered her again. When he was done, he nodded his head in satisfaction. If the virtual settings were still there, he¡¯d be able to do this while squatting next to his beloved daughter. However¡­ He sighed gloomily. It was getting late and Xiu Jin had a tight schedule tomorrow. He had to exit the game, do some skincare, and sleep. The new day began with examining the traces. Bian Bian pulled the curtains apart after waking up and followed Zhu Yuan as he checked the thick metal curtains. There were countless deep scratches on it. Additionally, the outer walls were also covered with deep gouges. It was as if a huge fellow climbed up to the third floor last night and attempted to lift the curtains with its sharp claws. The reason why it was a big fellow was because of the vibrations it caused when it moved. This showed that it was not small. What could it be? Zhu Yuan frowned. During breakfast, Zhu Yuan thought for a bit. He decided to tell Bian Bian the truth, so the little girl would be mentally prepared. Though Bian Bian was still young, she was very intelligent. If the corpse beast appeared, he would require Bian Bian¡¯s cooperation. ¡°Bian Bian, there¡¯s a good chance that the monster grandpa scared away last night will come looking for us again.¡± Bian Bian startled, and put down the bread in her hands. She understood Zhu Yuan¡¯s words: ¡°Didn¡¯t grandpa already scare it away?¡± Zhu Yuan said: ¡°If the monster knows that grandpa can¡¯t come out, it will come back for us. We are its prey.¡± The little girl said in a quiet voice: ¡°Is it watching us from nearby?¡± Zhu Yuan had not expected Bian Bian to instantly get the main points. He nodded: ¡°Bian Bian is very smart.¡± ¡°Then we should quickly close the curtains.¡± Bian Bian felt a little embarrassed by the praise. She quickly climbed off her chair, bread forgotten. ¡°This way it won¡¯t be able to come in.¡± ¡°The monster won¡¯t leave until it eats us.¡± Zhu Yuan had thought about it all night and virtually got no sleep. Since a level 3 corpse beast had its eye on them, it would be impossible to escape. They may be able to hide for a while, but they won¡¯t be able to hide forever. It¡¯s to their advantage to take initiative and make use of the terrain. Bian Bian¡¯s eyes brightened: ¡°I know. Uncle Zhu Yuan, you want to kill the monster, right?¡± When she accompanied Lu Yu, she had witnessed him killing a zombie. ¡°But you have injuries on your body, will you be able to beat the monster?¡± The little girl¡¯s delicate eyebrows furrowed, and concern crept into her bright eyes. When grandpa killed monsters in the past, Bian Bian was very worried, afraid that grandpa would get hurt, but grandpa was extraordinarily good and killed the monsters every time. ¡°I can¡¯t do it by myself, but it should be fine with grandpa¡¯s aura and if Bian Bian¡¯s with me.¡± Bian Bian hadn¡¯t had time to react to Zhu Yuan including her when Zhu Yuan asked her: ¡°Bian Bian, have you helped grandpa kill zombies before? Bian Bian thought back to when Lu Yu killed zombies for crystals. When Lu Yu did that, he did not avoid Bian Bian. In fact, he even taught Bian Bian how to identify the attributes of the crystal. Different colors correspond to different attributes. ¡ªThat¡¯s why after Zhu Yuan fell asleep, Bian Bian remembered her grandpa taught her that crystals could heal wounds. But because she didn¡¯t know which colored crystal would work for Zhu Yuan, she placed a handful on Zhu Yuan¡¯s body. The color that lit up would be the type of crystal Zhu Yuan could use. To Bian Bian, the stones that she took out from the monsters¡¯ head with her grandpa were considered as helping grandpa. That meant she helped grandpa kill zombies. Thus the little girl nodded solemnly and added on: ¡°Killed a lot.¡± Zhu Yuan naturally comprehended that as Lu Yu taught Bian Bian how to use her abilities to kill zombies. She had experiences with killing zombies, so he wouldn¡¯t have to worry about Bian Bian being afraid of ¡°killing.¡± Zhu Yuan began to plan as he healed. First, he needs to confirm the original form of the corpse beast. Every corpse beast was mutated from a normal animal. Knowing the original form would allow them to counter it. ¡­ Finding some free time at noon, Xiu Jin logged into the game. As soon as he entered the game, he received a pop-up notification from the system: [Zhu Yuan is prepared to make the first move and exterminate the three-level corpse beast with Bian Bian. [It¡¯d be fine if he wanted to die, but he wants to drag Bian Bian with him. Player one, if you don¡¯t want anything to happen to Bian Bian, please prevent it. [You have two choices: One, let nature take its course. Two, kill Zhu Yuan.] Xiu Jin: ¡°???¡± CH 14 Xiu Jin stared at the second choice, wondering if there was something wrong with his eyes. Could it be that this trashy system had a virus? He¡¯d rather it be the latter. [Please make a choice. If no selection is made within ten seconds, the second option will automatically be chosen for the sake of Bian Bian¡¯s safety.] Knowing that the shitty system would actually do it, Xiu Jin could only quickly choose: [Let nature run its course]. Although it was a game, he couldn¡¯t just casually decide another person¡¯s fate. Nothing had happened yet, so why kill Zhu Yuan? Without Zhu Yuan, who would take care of his precious daughter? ¡°You won¡¯t behave unless you get scolded every once in a while, huh?¡± Xiu Jin said gloomily. ¡°You¡¯re using Bian Bian as an excuse to get me to kill someone. If you have the ability, don¡¯t let the zombies come to scare my daughter!¡± System: [No ability.] Xiu Jin: ¡°¡­¡± ¡°I just knew Your Highness would be here. It¡¯s been a while since I¡¯ve seen Your Highness. I¡¯ve missed you quite a lot.¡± At that moment, a sweet voice sounded, and a beautiful, charming woman walked in. Upon seeing Xiu Jin, her hips swayed even more seductively. Because of this person¡¯s sudden appearance, Xiu Jin had no choice but to exit the game. He watched expressionlessly as the coquettish woman sauntered over. ¡°Your Highness, my heart is beating quickly because you are looking at me like that.¡± the woman said shyly after meeting Xiu Jin¡¯s gaze. ¡°How did you come in?¡± asked Xiu Jin. The woman pouted her red lips, lifted her long legs, and said warmly: ¡°Everyone else just walked in like this.¡± Xiu Jin made an ¡°oh¡± sound. Maintaining the composure of a royal gentleman, he smiled slightly and pointed at the exit. He said: ¡°Then you can use a different method, and gracefully get out.¡± The bright smile on the woman¡¯s face froze. Her name was Chu Xinran. She was the niece of the current empress¡¯ maternal family and was considered nobility. The current empress was not Xiu Jin¡¯s birth mother. Although the empire practiced monogamy, the emperor married another woman, thinking to produce the future heir. The concubine had no status or title, and they were not allowed to exceed the empress. The emperor and the empress were childhood friends, and the empress had a frail body since young. After giving birth to the first and third prince, her health has been continuously declining. There was no way for her to recover, even with the use of technology. Afterward, the empress became pregnant with the seventh prince. Although the risk was high, she insisted on giving birth to the seventh prince and died not long after. The other wife naturally became the current empress. The emperor felt sorry for the seventh prince who¡¯d lost his mother just after birth and was inevitably biased towards him. It was to the extent that the emperor let him do as he wished, even when he went into business. The emperor just wanted him to be happy. Therefore, as Xiu Jin grew up, other than being occasionally bullied by the third prince, the other princes, including the three born from the current empress, took good care of him. ¡ªThe sixth prince had died shortly after birth. The current empress treated Xiu Jin well, but Xiu Jin still disliked his nominal ¡®stepmother.¡¯ In addition to the innate rejection towards his stepmother, there was also¡ª The current empress felt that Xiu Jin was not young anymore and that he should have a girlfriend. Thus, she introduced her niece Chu Xinran to Xiu Jin. She even swayed the emperor through pillow talk. After the emperor met Chu Xinran, he felt that the girl was not bad and was pretty compatible with Xiao Jin. He thought that they could give it a try. Since the emperor had spoken, Xiu Jin had no choice but to put aside some time to meet Chu Xinran. He did not like Chu Xinran, but she was enthusiastic about him. Though Xiu Jin rejected her, she remained undaunted and declared that if she persevered, she would be able to move His Highness¡¯ heart. Xiu Jin: ¡°¡­¡± He wanted to curse at this dumbass, but his position as a prince meant that he had to maintain his image. He couldn¡¯t use such crude language. If he couldn¡¯t see her, then he wouldn¡¯t be annoyed. Thus, Xiu Jin hid from Chu Xinran but to no avail, Chu Xinran knew the address of his company and would purposely go there. Knowing that he would dislike it, she did not go in but waited outside instead. Xiu Jin was furious. He didn¡¯t go to the empress, but the fifth prince instead. The fifth prince had been engaged to a noblewoman not too long ago. Xiu Jin purposely brought the fifth prince to flashy events and even let beautiful women play around with him. He then made sure that other people led the noblewoman over so she could see it with her own eyes. It was shameless behavior for someone that¡¯s engaged to be out, fooling and playing around, even if he was a prince. There was a large dispute, and the queen was reprimanded by the emperor. Afterward, Chu Xinran never bothered Xiu Jin again. He never would have thought that he would run into Chu Xinran today. Since there was no one around, Xiu Jin was too lazy to keep up a nice facade. It was already good enough that he hadn¡¯t kicked her out directly. Chu Xinran¡¯s expression recovered quickly and she looked at Xiu Jin with teary eyes: ¡°You Highness, I didn¡¯t have any other intentions. Since I haven¡¯t seen you in a long time, I thought we¡¯d be destined to meet here. That¡¯s why I tried my luck and came in.¡± She didn¡¯t look like she had any intentions of leaving anytime soon. She calculated that because Xiu Jin was a prince, he definitely wouldn¡¯t throw her out. Xiu Jin suddenly asked: ¡°You like this place?¡± Chu Xinran was overjoyed and nodded her head. Just as she was about to say a few words of praise, Xiu Jin stood up and walked out with his long legs: ¡°Then stay here. I won¡¯t bother you anymore.¡± He ordered the attendants outside: ¡°Go in and accompany Ms. Chu. Accompany her until she¡¯s satisfied. Don¡¯t let her leave until she is thoroughly satisfied. ¡°Ms. Chu, I hope you have a good time.¡± Chu Xinran rushed to follow but was stopped by the attendants that had received Xiu Jin¡¯s orders. ¡°Your Highness, I heard you wanted a set of NR virtual devices?¡± She called out to Xiu Jin¡¯s back. Xiu Jin¡¯s footsteps stopped. The NR virtual device was the same set of equipment that was taken back by Xiu Yan and returned to Nong Jiusi. Nong Jiusi had taken back the devices. There was no way for Xiu Jin to complete a transaction with a nine-clawed azure dragon. No one around Xiu Jin had the device, so he had no choice but to rely on the people under him to keep an eye out. If they found a second NR virtual device, they must buy it. How did Chu Xinran know that he was looking for NR virtual devices? Where did this idiot hear this news? His hesitation gave Chu Xinran an opportunity and she immediately grasped it. She observed Xiu Jin¡¯s demeanor unobtrusively and knew that she had bet correctly. She said sweetly: ¡°Your Highness, I know who has the NR.¡± ¡°Who?¡± Chu Xinran twisted her body closer to Xiu Jin. To be honest, Xiu Jin¡¯s face, which looked smaller than her own doll-like face, was not her type. However, Xiu Jin was the empire¡¯s most pampered prince and he was wealthy¡­ With that kind of identity, her heart couldn¡¯t help but flutter. ¡°Your Highness, if I help you purchase a NR set, how will you thank me?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll treat you to a meal.¡± Xiu Jin smiled elegantly. ¡°Just a meal?¡± pouted Chu Xinran. ¡°Nothing else?¡± Xiu Jin looked towards her with a smile: ¡°What do you want?¡± ¡°Well¡­ I haven¡¯t thought about it yet. I¡¯ll tell you when I¡¯ve thought of something. Deal?¡± Xiu Jin ignored the goosebumps forming on his hand and his violent urges towards this woman. Just smile and don¡¯t speak. Fortunately, Chu Xinran also knew when to stop before going too far. She said frankly: ¡°Does Your Highness know about the Three Gold Market? The NR you want is there. I just happened to learn about a black market boss who knows where the NR is. If Your Highness has time in the afternoon, I can bring you there?¡± Xiu Jin thought, You better not be lying. Otherwise¡ª It¡¯ll be time to let you know why the flowers were so red. Xiu Jin had heard of the Three Gold Market, but he had never been. He was a little curious about the place, so it was a good opportunity to go check it out. He met and talked with the boss that Chu Xinran knew. Unfortunately, the boss selling NR was not there today and had left no means of contact. He was forced to return without any success. He could only come back next time. Considering that Chu Xinran did not lie to him, Xiu Jin endured his temper and accompanied her out for dinner. After finally sending Chu Xinran off, Xiu Jin got in a car and headed home. He opened the game en route to a pitch-black screen. The system indicated that Bian Bian was sleeping soundly. He checked the time. No wonder his precious daughter was asleep. It was quite late. Darling. Daddy sacrificed his beauty for you. Remembering that he hadn¡¯t bought today¡¯s share of apples, Xiu Jin entered the market to buy them. He placed the apples on the bedside table and prepared to exit the game. Suddenly, he paused and tapped to reenter the market. If he remembered correctly, the system menu had a total of six columns: [Food] [Weapons] [Techniques] [Clothing] [Medicine] [Household Items]. Now, the system menu only had five. When he looked again, the [Weapons] column was gone. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± There was no pop-up prompt from the system explaining why. It was probably a system bug. Xiu Jin did not think too deeply about it. Today had been a busy day, and his mind, in particular, had suffered. He felt a little drained and went to sleep early when he returned home. In order to let Uncle Zhu Yuan¡¯s wounds heal faster, Bian Bian took out several wind crystals from her box and gave them to him. Zhu Yuan hesitated a bit before accepting. ¡ªThe first order of business was to heal and recover to full strength. That way, they¡¯d be more equipped to fight the corpse beast. Zhu Yuan went out to investigate the corpse beast¡¯s tracks while Bian Bian stayed at home. She stared blankly at the large apple on the bedside table, brought it to the living room, and placed it side by side with the other large apple on the table. The two large apples were exactly the same, down to the surface color. It was as if they were carved from a mold. ¡°Hui Hui, don¡¯t you think this is weird?¡± Glancing at the two identical large apples, Bian Bian lowered her head and carefully tugged on the little bear¡¯s arm that had been sewed with a red thread. The appearance of the corpse beast caused Bian Bian to forget about telling Zhu Yuan that there was an invisible bad guy in the house. Though there was the appearance of another large apple, Bian Bian was not very scared because Zhu Yuan was there. However, Bian Bian was beginning to feel that she may have thought wrong. If there was an invisible bad guy, why did Zhu Yuan not know despite being so amazing? Originally Bian Bian wanted to tell Zhu Yuan about this matter today, but Zhu Yuan was busy with preparations of tracking down the corpse beast. She felt that she ought to be mature and not bother him so she did not mention it to Zhu Yuan. ¡°Could it be that they are not a bad guy?¡± Bian Bian wondered in a soft voice. ¡°Before, grandpa used a lot of crystal and only got a small, shriveled apple. This apple is very big, so it must be very precious and worth a lot of money.¡± ¡°If it was a bad guy, even if they wanted to eat me after fattening me up, why would they give me such a precious apple?¡± ¡°But, if they aren¡¯t a bad guy, then why are they being kind and giving me such a big apple?¡± When Bian Bian had been at Lu Yu¡¯s side, she had witnessed some uncles get into a fight because of food. There had also been people who were aggressive towards her because of food. One time Lu Yu saved a family of three. The middle-aged couple¡¯s son was so hungry that he was nothing more than skin and bones with a yellow complexion and an emancipated body. Bian Bian just so happened to be holding a package of snacks that Lu Yu had given her¡ª Wan Wan Mantou Cookies. Bian Bian felt that the Gege was quite pitiful and decided to voluntarily give her cookies to him. Thus, she walked closer to the little boy. But, before she had the chance to give it, she was pushed away by the little boy. The little boy scrambled to shove the item he was holding into his bag. He glared at her and viciously said: ¡°I don¡¯t have any food. Even if I did, I won¡¯t give it to you. Go away!¡± Bian Bian felt a little hurt, but still plucked up the courage to take the Wan Wan mantou cookies from her pocket: ¡°Brother, here.¡± Afterward, grandpa had told Bian Bian: ¡°A lot of food was forcefully taken by the powerful uncles in the base. The food that can still be found is very limited. Many people take their food very seriously, afraid that it¡¯ll be snatched by others.¡± Bian Bian did not really understand. She buried her little head in her grandfather¡¯s arms and sullenly said: ¡°But I still don¡¯t like that Xiao Gege.¡± She disliked the way he treated her. Lu Yu patted his granddaughter¡¯s soft hair. He knew what his granddaughter was upset about. She still didn¡¯t understand human nature. ¡°That Xiao Gege thought you were going to steal his food and to him, food is more important than his life. That¡¯s why he was aggressive towards you, which is understandable¡­. However, grandpa doesn¡¯t like him either. Grandpa only likes Bian Bian. In the future when we meet these kinds of people, we¡¯ll keep our distance and not help them.¡± Bian Bian began to feel happier because of grandpa¡¯s ¡°only like Bian Bian.¡± But after a while, she said: ¡°We should still help. Grandpa taught Bian Bian to help when we can.¡± Lu Yu smiled. She then covered her small pocket: ¡°Bian Bian won¡¯t give snacks to other people again.¡± Yet, despite what she said, if she encountered the same situation next time and had snacks in her pocket, she would still generously take them out to give. ¡­¡­ Bian Bian, who was bewildered by the two large apples, was tempted by their sweet fragrance. The image of a bad guy disappeared from her little head. She reached out with a small hand and picked one up to wash in the bathroom. ¡°Grandpa and I will eat one. The other one will be given to Uncle Zhu Yuan.¡± The little girl did not forget to include the little bear. ¡°And Hui Hui.¡± This time, she did not use a knife to divide up the apple but used a spoon to dig instead. Since the apple was so big, she even scooped the skin to bring to her grandpa! Meanwhile, a hideous monster slowly climbed its way up to the top floor. If you shrink it down by a thousand, you would be able to see that it was a black and red colored ant. But as it was now, it was a corpse beast that had been infected with a virus that caused the mutation. The black and red colored ant was nearly five meters in length. It nimbly climbed up to the roof where it was blocked by a thick layer of metal at the rooftop entrance. The beast confirmed that the pressure was indeed emanating from within there. The corpse beast¡¯s eyes shone fiercely with a blood-red color, but it had an instinctive wisdom that belonged to a high-level corpse beast. The menacing presence behind the metal wall could not get out. It seemed to have confirmed this point. A moment later it moved, silently crawling down towards the third-floor balcony. Bian Bian sat on a chair, slowly scooping away at the apple. Next to her was a small bowl. She would eat a bite, then scoop a piece into the bowl. That was for her grandpa. A shadow gradually slithered across the window. Blood red eyes stared at the back of the tiny figure who was earnestly digging away. Huh? Bian Bian felt like the light around her suddenly grew dimmer. She shoved a spoonful of newly scooped apple into her mouth and turned around to look. A sinister-looking head was trying to push its way through the open window. However, no matter how desperately it struggled to get in, it could not. It was as if something was pressing back against its head and made for quite the bizarre scene. ¡°Hui Hui, this must be the monster that wants to eat me and Uncle Zhu Yuan.¡± Bian Bian jumped off the chair while holding the little bear and held up the spoon as a weapon. She chewed subconsciously on the apple in her mouth. ¡°What is it doing?¡± There was a clanging noise, and she could only stare as a gun dropped out of thin air in front of her very eyes. She glanced at the monster that was still trying to force its way in and thought for a bit. Bian Bian put the spoon down and bent to pick the gun off the ground. Ugh, she couldn¡¯t pick it up. CH 15 Bian Bian didn¡¯t think about why did a gun suddenly appear. She had already grouped the gun and apple together since they were both things that suddenly appeared. She had seen her grandpa use a gun before, and she had seen other people use guns. She felt like she should pick up the gun to fend off the monster. But, even with two hands, Bian Bian could not pick up the strangely designed silver gun. She barely moved it. ¡ª To the little five-year-old, Bian Bian, the weight of the gun exceeded the strength of her own body. It was too heavy. Bian Bian¡¯s brows furrowed in distress. Perhaps the monster¡¯s ridiculous movements due to its inability to get in, diminished her fear because miraculously, Bian Bian didn¡¯t particularly feel scared when she faced the hideous ant corpse beast. ¡°I can¡¯t pick it up.¡± said the little girl in a depressed voice. ¡­¡­ ¡°Lord Jiusi, this should be a simple, reality-based game with lifelike characters and settings which makes it easy for the player to immerse themselves into their role.¡± Inside a palace that was built almost entirely with precious stones, a young dragon with two horns on his head was respectfully providing an explanation to the handsome man standing in front of him. He wore simple but casual clothing that looked ordinary at first glance. However, on closer inspection, one could see that the dark patterns on the clothes were all lined with gemstones. A pair of black-framed glasses was perched upon a high bridged nose. Thick but slender eyelashes. The outer corners of his eyes were slightly upturned, revealing an indifferent gaze. Handsome, powerful, and arrogant. This was the dragon clan¡¯s only nine-clawed azure dragon, the oldest and most formidable dragon species. Within the dragon clan, this position was second only to the Dragon King. Projected in front of them was the scene of Bian Bian¡¯s living room encounter. Nong Jiusi went to inspect another planet a while back. But in actuality, he had gone sightseeing. He obtained an NR virtual set in the process and coincidentally met Xiu Yan. He made him take care of it, lest he throws the device away when it became an inconvenience as he played around. It was only after he had returned from his trip and Xiu Yan had returned the device to its rightful owner that Nong Jiusi had remembered he had such a thing. He turned it on, ready to experience the wonders of the device. Who would¡¯ve thought that when he turned it on, a projection scene would automatically pop up? It was followed up with a systematic introduction. Nong Jiusi only understood what was happening after he finished reading through the introduction. There was an extra game in the system. Within the game was a little one called Bian Bian. She was living alone after her grandpa was infected and became a zombie. He, as the player, was automatically bound in a father-daughter relationship with Bian Bian. That was to say, if he was going to play this game, he had to help his daughter within the game survive and help her grow up safely. Nong Jiusi: ¡°¡­¡± Although he spent his days feeling rather bored, he wasn¡¯t bored to the point where he would play an idiotic child-rearing game. After glancing over it casually, he was about to quit this boring game. Unexpectedly, a corpse beast came in through the window, but the little girl sitting in the chair did not seem to notice it at all. Because of the projection, Nong Jiusi was standing right next to Bian Bian. After staring at the little one for a bit, he walked over and lifted a hand to press the head of the entering corpse beast almost subconsciously. Then the corpse beast that he was pressing against as if it was real, couldn¡¯t get in. Nong Jiusi¡¯s eyebrows rose and he thought that this was a bit interesting. He was within the projected game screen. And while he was incapable of feeling the objects he touched, he was able to interact with them. Take this corpse beast for example. He didn¡¯t really do anything other than press against its head, but it seemed to be controlled by fate. It couldn¡¯t get in no matter how hard it tried. The graphics were too realistic, unlike a game¡¯s. The characters inside were as lifelike as movie characters. It was like he teleported into a movie. Nong Jiusi was beginning to suspect that it was a real scene but shown through a game. As he was doing this, his subordinate Nong Tang, who was also his assistant, watched everything unfold. After an inspection by Nong Tang, it was confirmed that this was only a game. Nong Tang was rather proficient in the field of science and technology. Nong Jiusi nodded his head. In accordance with his nature, he ought to quit the game now and no longer care about it. But seeing the little one clinging onto the bear and not letting go, it seemed as if the little girl was genuinely facing a monster attack. Once he let go, there was a chance that she would be swallowed in one gulp. The little one was unarmed and didn¡¯t have the ability to protect herself. Nong Jiusi hesitated a bit before tapping open the market in the upper right corner. Everyone knew about the Krypton Gold mode in games. He¡¯d buy the little one a weapon to defend herself with. This way it¡¯d be worth having opened the game. To Nong Jiusi¡¯s surprise, all the options in the market were grey and couldn¡¯t be purchased. ¡°Is it reasonable for a game to be set up this way?¡± The two horns on Nong Tang¡¯s head twitched as he shook his head: ¡°Not reasonable.¡± Everyone knows that when developers release games to the players, their goal is to make players spend money to recharge. All games used this kind of method. This is how the developer is able to make a profit. He¡¯s never heard of a game with a Krypton Gold area, but no Krypton Gold channel. The ¡°channel¡± was grey, unable to be tapped. It wasn¡¯t until Nong Jiusi tapped on the weapons column that he saw the only lit-up icon, a silver gun that cost a hundred star-coins. After a successful purchase, the gun clattered to the floor. Nong Jiusi was close by and clearly saw the little one cower from the noise. ¡°¡­¡­¡± If it weren¡¯t for Nong Tang confirming that it was a game, he would have thought that it was happening for real. Or perhaps¡­ the reason it was so realistic was because of the NR virtual device? Seeing that the little one could not pick up the gun, Nong Jiusi grabbed a part of the hard shell on the ant corpse beast¡¯s head and shoved the corpse beast out the window. After that, the scene disappeared. At the same time, Xiu Jin logged into the game. Nong Jiusi looked back and asked Nong Tang: ¡°What¡¯s the matter with this?¡± Nong Tang thought for a bit and said: ¡°My lord, it probably¡­ disconnected.¡± And that was indeed the truth. Xiu Jin logged into the game which caused Nong Jiusi to disconnect, but neither side knew. Nong Jiusi adjusted his glasses, turned to pick up a cup of coffee, and took a sip. He didn¡¯t care too much about it as it was just a game: ¡°Too astringent. Get another cup.¡± He put the coffee down. ¡°Yes.¡± Nong Tang went as ordered. As soon as Xiu Jin entered the game, he received a notification from the system: [Intimacy points +20] ??? Getting +20 intimacy points as soon as he entered? What had happened during the couple of hours when he wasn¡¯t logged in? Although it was something to be happy about, it felt a little strange no matter which way he looked at it. Could it be that his precious daughter knew that he was the father? Bian Bian watched as the monster stupidly dropped itself downstairs and the last bit of terror she felt towards the monster disappeared. She gave up on trying to pick up the silver gun. With a thud thud thud, she pushed a chair to the window and clambered on top of it so she could look down. The corpse beast, confused and disoriented from the fall, kept shaking its head as if to confirm that nothing was pressing on it anymore. Then, once it finally confirmed that it could move about freely, it lifted its head. Scarlet eyes stared at Bian Bian, who was peeking over the edge of the window. It started to climb up again, determined to eat the food that it had long marked as prey. Before Xiu Jin had recovered from his joy at the sudden increase of 20 in intimacy points, he was startled by the corpse beast trying to attack Bian Bian. He hurriedly used his hand to press against the moving corpse beast to stop it from climbing up. However! His pressing only served to slow the corpse beast down, not immobilize it. Xiu Jin: ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Bian Bian, quickly hide!¡± At this moment, the voice of Zhu Yuan who was hurrying back could be heard. He had been carefully searching for traces of the corpse beast nearby, not daring to go too far away when he had heard the sound of the corpse beast crashing down. He realized that something was wrong. That bastard had been unexpectedly stealthy. Worried about Bian Bian, Zhu Yuan immediately turned back. Soon after, he saw a hideous corpse beast climbing up to the third floor. The little girl had been standing by the window with a face full of curiosity, not a bit afraid. Zhu Yuan¡¯s heart almost leaped out his mouth. With the help of his ability, he got closer to the corpse beast at breakneck speed, using several wind blades in a row. The wind blade streaked across the corpse beast¡¯s outer shell with a ¡°clang,¡± but didn¡¯t leave behind any marks. ¡°¡­¡­¡± Such a hard shell! Now that he was closer, Zhu Yuan found the corpse beast¡¯s movement to be extremely strange. Ants were creatures that moved quickly. Seeing how fast the corpse beast had run after being scared by Lu Yu, it was obvious that the corpse beast¡¯s speed had not been affected by its size. And then¡ª The speed in which the corpse beast was climbing upwards was the complete opposite of the speed it had displayed when running away. It was like a snail, inching along slowly as it dragged its heavy shell. It was Bian Bian! She was using her ability to suppress the corpse beast. Zhu Yuan¡¯s eyes shone and he immediately seized the opportunity, taking advantage of the corpse beast¡¯s slow movement to deliver the killing blow. However, his ability was incapable of inflicting any substantial damage on the corpse beast, whose whole body had evolved to have a hard shell. Zhu Yuan¡¯s gaze flitted across a small, abandoned car. Wrapping the small car in a ball of wind, he viciously slammed it into the corpse beast. Bam! Smoke spread in all directions. All that remained of the small car was debris. The small fire that had resulted from the violent impact gradually died out as it lost its supply of fuel. Finally, the upward movement of the corpse came to a halt. It once again shook its head before slowly turning around. Scarlet eyes no longer looked upstairs at Bian Bian, but instead turned to the nearby Zhu Yuan. The corpse beast¡¯s original target was Bian Bian. Her pure flesh and blood constantly enticed it, making its hungry stomach even more eager to be filled with flesh and blood. Even if it knew there was an entity that was a level higher than itself. But it knew that that entity couldn¡¯t come out. Since it posed no threat, it no longer had to restrain itself. In order to be safe, the corpse beast did not intend to disturb the menacing entity. Thus it moved stealthily this time. However, the corpse beast was angry because it had encountered an unimaginable situation as it went to eat the easy prey that it had been tracking for days. Now Zhu Yuan had appeared. After weighing its options, the corpse beast whipped its head around. It would eat the larger prey first, then the smaller, tastier one. Seeing the gigantic ant lunging towards him at a rapid speed, completely different from how it was climbing, Zhu Yuan¡¯s pupils shrunk. He knew that Bian Bian¡¯s ability couldn¡¯t suppress the corpse beast anymore. He took advantage of the terrain to nimbly avoid the corpse beast¡¯s bristled foot aimed at him. With a ¡®pssch¡¯ sound, that thing effortlessly stabbed into the cement. Zhu Yuan dodged by rolling. During their brief engagement, he could feel the terrifying pressure emitted by the level 3 corpse beast. For a B rank ability user, a level 3 corpse beast was a full rank higher than him. He and Du Mingyu had to join forces and put their lives on the line just to kill a wounded and weakened level 3 zombie. Now, he was being chased by a level 3 corpse beast at the peak of its power. He was no match for it, and could only take advantage of the terrain to flee. It would have been fine if he could ascend to B rank. Zhu Yuan wiped away the blood pouring from the wound on his forehead and gritted his teeth. Even if he had to die here today, he was going to make sure that the corpse beast would never return! Watching the corpse beast chase Zhu Yuan away from Bian Bian¡¯s line of sight, Xiu Jin had no way to press on the corpse beast through the screen. He had no choice but to stop. He looked at his precious daughter, feeling relieved. For a short while, he couldn¡¯t tell if his precious daughter was brave or timid. If he were to say brave, well¡­ she had cried at first because she was scared of him. If he were to say timid, well¡­ she didn¡¯t hide in the room when the corpse beast attacked but instead brought a chair over to the window to watch. What was going on in her small head?! Thankfully he came just in time. Otherwise, the corpse beast, who was chasing after Zhu Yuan at breakneck speed, would have swallowed her in a blink of an eye! It was horrifying just thinking about it. He¡¯d only raised his precious daughter for a few days, he didn¡¯t want her to disappear just like that. Bian Bian finally realized that the monster¡¯s strange movements weren¡¯t because of its stupidity, but because someone was secretly helping it, just like the gun that had appeared out of thin air. With that in mind, could it be the bad guy from earlier that she thought was going to fatten her up before eating her? He didn¡¯t want to eat her but help her. That¡¯s why they sneakily sewed up Hui Hui¡¯s arm after she fell asleep, gave her apples, and gave that gun earlier to help chase away the beast. Now that the monster was chasing Uncle Zhu Yuan, did that person already leave? ¡°Are- Are you still here? Did you come to help Bian Bian?¡± Bian Bian¡¯s little fist clenched and she anxiously looked around the empty living room. Xiu Jin: ¡°!!!¡± What was the meaning of this?! Could this be a transformation brought about by the +20 intimacy points? His precious daughter is no longer treating him as a bad guy and has accepted his existence?! ¡°Are you an uncle?¡± asked Bian Bian again. She had come to the conclusion that the invisible person was an uncle because of Hui Hui¡¯s sewn up arm. If it was an auntie, Hui Hui¡¯s arm wouldn¡¯t be sewn up in such an ugly manner. To be able to sew so horribly meant that it had to be an uncle. ¡°I¡¯m Daddy!¡± The feeling of being approved by his precious daughter made Xiu Jin feel like he was floating. It did not matter even if she couldn¡¯t hear his voice. ¡°The monster is so powerful. Uncle Zhu Yuan won¡¯t be able to defeat it by himself. Uncle, can you help Uncle Zhu Yuan fight the monster?¡± Bian Bian twisted her hands nervously. She quickly ran to her room and brought out the box filled with crystals. ¡°I don¡¯t have anything else to give you, just these stones¡­¡± Bian Bian watched the living room expectantly, but nothing happened. Xiu Jin was also helpless. He did want to help Zhu Yuan, but his perspective was based on Bian Bian¡¯s. Bian Bian was currently in the living room. He could only move things in the living room and was unable to manipulate anything else. There was a rumble from outside. The corpse beast had returned. Bian Bian rushed to the window. She didn¡¯t see Zhu Yuan¡¯s figure, but the corpse beast as it climbed up the walls. ¡°¡­¡­¡± Xiu Jin hurriedly used his hand to press down. Bian Bian¡¯s eyes lit up. That invisible person was still here! Once again, the corpse beast was crawling as slowly as a turtle. Corpse beast: ¡°¡­¡­¡± So frustrating! Zhu Yuan who had come back covered in dirt once again saw the corpse beast climbing slowly like a snail. Did Bian Bian¡¯s ability recover? On his knees, Zhu Yuan calmed his heartbeat. For a short while, it was strangely tranquil. The corpse beast had been chasing after Zhu Yuan, but the prey had been too cunning. It didn¡¯t manage to eat the prey despite chasing it for a long time. Hindered by the many buildings, it gave up on chasing after Zhu Yuan, deciding to return and eat the tastiest prey instead. But never did it think that it would be stuck in the same situation again. It was as if the building had become an immense marshland. It climbed with all its might, but could only move at glacial speeds. The tired and hungry corpse beast felt furious, but for the sake of food, it had no choice but to persevere. Roar¡ª! The roar of a zombie exploded out. Lu Yu had woken up, or perhaps he felt that he had been provoked. He started to violently ram the metal wall and the whole building trembled. Bian Bian got covered in a layer of dust. The corpse beast¡¯s movements halted. It hesitated but decided to ignore the menacing entity that couldn¡¯t get out and continued to climb upwards. For the sake of filling its stomach, even if it had to crawl slowly, it would devour its prey! It was not concerned, no matter how Zhu Yuan attacked from behind. Its outer shell protected it so that it felt nothing more than a tickle. Xiu Jin, who had been playing the game sitting down, leaped up anxiously when he saw the corpse beast steel its resolve and continue to climb. However, he couldn¡¯t use gold to buy anything for his precious daughter. There was nothing else he could do, but press down on the corpse beast to make it crawl slower. ¡°¡­¡­¡± The system was playing dead, not uttering a word. Xiu Jin gritted out: ¡°If Lu Yu breaks out of the metal walls, what happens then?¡± It was already so difficult to handle a level 3 corpse beast. If they let Lu Yu, who even level 3 corpse beasts were afraid of¡­ Xiu Jin imagines his daughter with a happy expression, running towards Lu Yu while calling for her grandpa, and then her getting bitten by Lu Yu. He shook his head fiercely, freeing that image from his mind. The system seemed to have weighed its options, finally speaking up: [It depends on your abilities as fathers.] Xiu Jin, who was wholeheartedly focusing on his precious daughter, didn¡¯t even register the word ¡®fathers.¡¯ The young child on the screen suddenly moved. Xiu Jin quickly looked. Only to see Bian Bian run into the kitchen and appear with half a bottle of cooking oil a moment later. She knew that the situation was dire so she moved quickly, which led to a heavy fall on her way out of the kitchen. Her eyes watered from the pain, but she did not cry. She got up swiftly, stood on the chair beside the window once more, and leaned out of the window. ¡°I¡¯m not scared of you!¡± The little girl shook her little hand and poured the half-filled bottle of oil onto the head of the corpse beast. At that moment the head of the corpse beast, who had been determinedly pushing against the indescribable pressure, was only around a meter away from the window. All of the cooking oil poured by Bian Bian landed on its head. The corpse beast was completely drenched. Originally, it was just a regular little ant that humans could easily squish to death. After being infected by the virus, it had grown to become a giant ant. It still retained its sense of smell, except its ability to smell has been enhanced. The smell of cooking oil wasn¡¯t acrid, but with its enhanced sense of smell, it disliked the scent instinctively. So much so that it led to a rare type of crisis. This sort of crisis did not originate from the menacing entity, but¨C In the next second, Bian Bian took out a lighter from her pocket. With a ¡®fwoosh¡¯, she threw the lit lighter down. Burning fire met oil, and in a flash, the flames leaped up. Xiu Jin froze for a moment after seeing the head of the monster he was pressing on erupt into flames. Other attacks were ineffective against the monster, so she would use fire to burn the monster. And it was a five year-old that came up with this method and successfully implemented it. His darling was too smart! To be able to think of such an idea¡ª As an adult, he didn¡¯t even think in that direction. Fire burst from the corpse beast¡¯s head. The hard shell protected its body but the beast could not withstand the high humidity. It closed its scarlet eyes and began to desperately slam its head against the wall in an attempt to extinguish the fire. The scalding temperature brought about by the blaze was transmitted directly to its brain causing it pain and leaving it with a strong sense of unease. It decided to retreat. It will come back next time! Several barrels of gasoline encased within a ball of wind dropped from the sky, drenching the corpse beast¡¯s body¡ª That was from Zhu Yuan downstairs. Bian Bian¡¯s actions gave him inspiration. The addition of the gasoline combined with the wind¡¯s power instantly set the corpse beast¡¯s whole body ablaze. The boiling temperature was no longer limited to its head, but its whole body. It started to struggle painfully, no longer thinking about its prey and only thought about escape. It had to escape from this place. Then it would have a chance to recover and return with full health. However, Xiu Jin¡¯s finger was still firmly holding it in place. The invisible pressure on the corpse beast made it laborious to climb up. Climbing down was still the same, but even struggling required all its strength. The corpse beast seethed. Never before, had it felt so frustrated. It let out a reluctant roar, one that was unique to corpse beasts. Its legs left many holes in the wall and parts of its body fell away in fiery clumps. The crashing sound Lu Yu made sounded a lot weaker as if it sensed that the intruder in his territory was no longer a threat. Zhu Yuan¡¯s face paled. He looked at the body that spanned the second and third floors, the ant corpse seemingly pinned at the spot. He felt a mixture of lingering fear and gladness. Bian Bian¡¯s ability was powerful, but she was too young and her control was limited. From the start, Zhu Yuan never intended to let Bian Bian fight head-on. He hadn¡¯t even discussed how to kill the corpse beast with Bian Bian. Unexpectedly, the corpse beast had attacked today, ruining his plans. He never would¡¯ve thought that if faced with a sudden corpse beast attack, Bian Bian would be the one to turn the tides. But he, the self-proclaimed fighter, didn¡¯t contribute anything special except for the barrels of gasoline at the end. Zhu Yuan took a deep breath and used his abilities to quickly return to the third floor. He saw the silver gun on the ground but did not think much about it. Bending down, he picked it up and moved to the window. ¡°Bian Bian, you can stop using your abilities now.¡± He saw the little girl¡¯s bangs matted with sweat and her red face. He worried that she overused her ability, which would cause harm to her body, and hastily pulled her behind him. Bian Bian felt a little more relaxed after Zhu Yuan¡¯s return, but his words left the little girl at a loss. She knew what the ability was. But the problem was that she didn¡¯t have the ability. Why did Uncle Zhu Yuan tell her to stop using the ability? Despite her doubts, Bian Bian nodded her head obediently. Xiu Jin saw that Zhu Yuan¡¯s hand was now holding a silver gun. He didn¡¯t know where this fellow found it, but he hadn¡¯t used it earlier. He released the hand pressing on the corpse beast. Surrounded by fire and struggling painfully, the corpse beast fell downstairs with a thud. It was not dead yet, just enveloped in pain. It stumbled and rolled around, trying to put out the fire on its body. Seeing that the corpse beast still wanted to escape, Zhu Yuan did not hesitate to pull the trigger on the fiery mass. In the next second, a ball of light burst out of the gun. Zhu Yuan: ¡°?¡± What kind of bullet could emit light? That ball of light landed on the fiery mass. With a loud boom, the fiery mass instantly exploded into two chunks. The corpse beast¡¯s blood-curdling shrieks stopped. Its body twitched a few times and gradually became motionless. Zhu Yuan stared blankly at the silver gun in his hand. The muzzle had been blasted open. It was clear that the gun was no longer usable. A single-use gun? Xiu Jin¡¯s face darkened. Zhu Yuan, this kid, had such a powerful gun. How come he didn¡¯t use it before?! He glared at the Zhu Yuan on the screen. Previously he had felt that this person¡¯s face had seemed honest and sincere, but now it just seemed unpleasant. Was it hidden intentionally? What was he trying to do? But Xiu Jin kept feeling like something wasn¡¯t quite right. According to Zhu Yuan¡¯s previously displayed personality, he would¡¯ve long used the gun if he had it earlier and not waited until now. Then where did this gun come from? Did he pick it up on the way back just now? ¡°Uncle Zhu Yuan, is the monster dead?¡± Bian Bian stopped covering her ears. When the corpse beast had started to shriek, the little girl felt uncomfortable listening and had covered her ears. Zhu Yuan came back to his senses. Turning his thoughts away from the gun for now, he picked up the little girl with one arm and leaned wearily beside the window. He smiled and said: ¡°It¡¯s dead. Want to see?¡± Bian Bian nodded. Zhu Yuan carried Bian Bian so she could look down. Following the corpse beast¡¯s death, the streets once again became silent. The crashing from upstairs disappeared¡ª Lu Yu quieted down. Only the flames on the body of the corpse beast remained, burning brightly. ¡°Can¡¯t see clearly.¡± Bian Bian rubbed her eyes. Fine, black ash floated in the air, blurring/obscuring the vision of the little girl. ¡°Let¡¯s go down.¡± The brain of the corpse beast will still produce crystals. That couldn¡¯t be wasted. The two reached downstairs. Zhu Yuan remained vigilant of the surroundings so as to avoid a missed threat. Fortunately, after such a fierce confrontation, even if there were zombies and corpse beasts around, they would¡¯ve turned tail and run as far as possible. There was a strange smell in the air, kind of like burnt meat. The corpse beast¡¯s body was charred black. Parts of the hard shell had cracked open, revealing a scorched interior. No matter how hard the shell was, it could not withstand the fire. Zhu Yuan stomped swiftly on the corpse beast¡¯s skull. He didn¡¯t forget to warn Bian Bian repeatedly, telling her to be careful and not fall. The other half of the body was not as burnt. Bian Bian walked around. Here, she smelled a different scent. It smelled like barbeque. She remembered the barbeque that her grandpa gave her last year. ¡ªLu Yu caught a rabbit. Encountering a normal rabbit during the apocalypse can¡¯t be called just luck, but extremely great luck. Unfortunately, there had only been one. If there had been two, they could¡¯ve raised them. That time Lu Yu made grilled rabbit meat, spicy hare head, and stir-fried rabbit. It was delicious. Currently, the scent that Bian Bian smelled was just like the grilled rabbit meat. ¡°Uncle Zhu Yuan, can we eat it?¡± She pointed at the corpse beast and seriously asked Zhu Yuan, who was looking for crystals. Zhu Yuan didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry. He thought that the little girl was circling around the corpse beast because she was curious, but she had wanted to eat it instead. His precious daughter was greedy to the point where she wanted to eat an ant. Xiu Jin glared at the food column within the market. He wished he could buy the whole column of food for Bian Bian. However, it was all grey. ¡°¡­¡­¡± When he turned and saw the -10 intimacy points, he felt relieved. With a little more effort, he¡¯d be able to buy, buy, buy for his precious daughter! Confirming that his precious daughter would be fine, Xiu Jin exited the game. He still had work to do. ¡°Bian Bian, this is monster meat. It can¡¯t be eaten.¡± Zhu Yuan said. When the apocalypse had first started, people who couldn¡¯t get food started laying their hands on corpse beast meat. Some corpse beast meats were smelly, but there were also others that weren¡¯t. That had created a false impression that the meat was normal. After eating, there was a 99% chance that the person would be infected and turned into a zombie. The remaining 1% received abilities. ¡°Can we give it to grandpa?¡± asked Bian Bian. That question stumped Zhu Yuan. Zombies eating corpse beast meat¡ª In theory, it should be possible. It¡¯s just no one seems to have tested it. And besides, for the zombies, why would they go for the corpse beast when they could eat fresh blood and meat. Moreover, the hole in the metal wall was too small. There was no way to shove it in. Not to mention, there was a virus present in the body of the corpse beast. If they were to accidentally cut their finger, there was a high possibility of infection/ He looked at Bian Bian apologetically. Bian Bian seemed a bit disappointed, but she started smiling: ¡°That¡¯s okay. I can find something else for grandpa in the future.¡± Zhu Yuan finally dug the crystal out from the corpse beast¡¯s head. Once the crystal was dug out, the crystal¡¯s surface was automatically cleaned by the energy contained within it. ¡°Uncle Zhu Yuan, it¡¯s a blue-green crystal. You can use it.¡± Bian Bian jumped happily. Zhu Yuan¡¯s eyes were filled with ecstasy. Although he had secretly prayed for it to be wind-based, now that he had dug up a level 3 crystal, it didn¡¯t feel real. He didn¡¯t receive any big injuries and got a level 3 crystal just like that? And a crystal of the same element to boot. With this crystal, he¡¯ll be able to challenge his own limits. Maybe he¡¯ll even advance to B rank! Zhu Yuan¡¯s heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably. Taking a deep breath to suppress his joy, he said: ¡° Bian Bian, this isn¡¯t uncle¡¯s alone. There is also a share for you.¡± Psychics were a unique existence. They were able to use all sorts of crystals to cultivate and not be rejected. Bian Bian¡¯s box of crystals was probably given to her by her grandpa on purpose so that she could cultivate. Bian Bian thought for a bit and said softly, ¡°Then I¡¯ll give my share to you.¡± Zhu Yuan was slightly stunned. His face that was covered in dust flashed with emotion. His hand gently patted Bian Bian¡¯s head and he said earnestly: ¡°Thank you Bian Bian.¡± ¡°You¡¯re welcome.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go home.¡± Zhu Yuan held out a large hand and Bian Bian reached over with a small hand. With Bian Bian¡¯s little hand in his, Zhu Yuan¡¯s face had a bright and cheerful smile. Just as the duo was turning to leave, Zhu Yuan suddenly staggered. ¡°Uncle Zhu Yuan, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Bian Bian stopped moving, lifting her head to face Zhu Yuan worriedly. Uncle Zhu Yuan¡¯s complexion had turned an ugly shade. She felt a little uneasy. ¡°I¡­¡± Zhu Yuan¡¯s voice trembled a bit. Looking down and seeing Bian Bian¡¯s eyes filled with concern, he took a deep breath. He faced the little girl, ¡°Uncle is fine.¡± After returning to the room, Bian Bian did not tell Zhu Yuan about someone helping her because uncle Zhu Yuan was resting. She would wait until he was rested and healed. Then, she would tell him. Bian Bian looked around the house, not sure if the invisible uncle was still there or not. Zhu Yuan also did not ask Bian Bian about the origins of the gun. After returning home, he went into the bathroom. Thinking that Uncle Zhu Yuan must be tired, Bian Bian opened a bottle of mineral water and poured it into a cup. Then she sat on the sofa and waited for Zhu Yuan to come out of the bathroom. Half an hour went by and Zhu Yuan still didn¡¯t come out. The little girl looked at the bathroom door with concern. She felt that Uncle Zhu Yuan had washed for a long time. At the very start, there were sounds coming from the bathroom. Now, it was silent. ¡°Hui Hui, do you think Uncle Zhu Yuan got hurt fighting the monster and fainted?¡± The little bear had no way of replying. The more Bian Bian thought, the more worried she became. She stood up in a hurry and walked to the bathroom door: ¡°Uncle Zhu Yuan, are you done washing?¡± A few moments later, Zhu Yuan¡¯s hoarse voice sounded: ¡°Uncle is shaving. I¡¯ll be done washing soon.¡± Bian Bian immediately felt calmer. Inside the bathroom, Zhu Yuan¡¯s upper half was bare. One hand was used to support himself on the bathroom sink, the other was clenching the level 3 crystal. The mirror reflected his pale complexion and his pained expression. He curled in on himself like a trapped beast, panting heavily. His temples and the veins in his neck throbbed. His life was rapidly flashing through his mind. Zhu Yuan was born to a regular family. His father was a police officer, his mother was a teacher, and he also had an older sister. He had excellent grades and was admitted to his dream college. After graduating, he found a job that suited him. He married his girlfriend and started a family. However, an unknown virus infected the whole world, and the apocalypse began. He was the only one who awakened an ability in his family, but he was unable to protect them. In the end, he was the only one left. He has recently sought refuge in a base in a southeastern city and met his girlfriend at the base. However, his girlfriend had already attached herself to another ability user. He wanted to bring her along, but she had refused. Afterward, he spent his time alone on the road, working hard to survive and improving his ability. Then he met Du Mingyu, and after that, Bian Bian. He thought that things were finally going to take a turn for the better and that he¡¯d finally have good luck. In fact, he¡¯d already made plans. He¡¯d planned to use the crystal to advance to B rank. If he succeeded, he¡¯d be able to bring Bian Bian along with him to the base. Although B rank wasn¡¯t considered to be particularly powerful amongst the ability users, it was enough for him to be considered a strong ability user. He¡¯d protect Bian Bian and raise her¡­ He could give Bian Bian a family, and with Bian Bian, he could have a family too. But he never would¡¯ve thought that God would play such a cruel prank. Zhu Yuan laughed silently. The strength exerted caused the rims of his eyes to turn red and the whites of his eyes to turn a faint blue. On his waist, there was a small and inconspicuous wound. At this point, his wound had already turned a dark blue. Veins of blue extended upward from his wound, following the lines of muscle. Like Lu Yu, Zhu Yuan had been infected. He actually didn¡¯t know how he got the injury. Perhaps he had cut himself on something when he was running from the corpse beast. Zhu Yuan turned his head slowly. There was a small shadow reflected in the frosted bathroom door from the little angel-like girl. His throat itched and Zhu Yuan couldn¡¯t help but cough violently. Bian Bian was shocked hearing it. She smacked the door and said: ¡°Uncle Zhu Yuan, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Zhu Yuan suppressed the itch with a swallow. He quickly put on his clothes, wiped his face, opened the door, and walked out. ¡°Uncle is fine.¡± Zhu Yuan met the little girl¡¯s anxious gaze after he finished speaking. It was as if she was terrified of something. Zhu Yuan fell silent for a moment. He thought of Bian Bian¡¯s grandfather. Perhaps the little girl sensed something was amiss. ¡°You must be hungry.¡± Zhu Yuan said, ¡°We killed the corpse beast and obtained a level 3 crystal. This is a happy event, so we should celebrate a bit¡­ Do you want to eat fried apples?¡± Zhu Yuan did not wonder where the apples came from. He had to take advantage of the time where he had his consciousness to make a meal for Bian Bian. He moved quickly. There was flour at home. He cut the apple into thin slices, covered them with flour, and fried them in a frying pan. Fortunately, there were several barrels of oil at home. Bian Bian stayed obediently by Zhu Yuan¡¯s side. She wanted Uncle Zhu Yuan to go rest, but uncle didn¡¯t listen to her. ¡°Is it yummy?¡± After cooling a slice of the fried apple, Zhu Yuan handed it to Bian Bian. The little girl took a bite and her eyes lit up. She said in a clear voice: ¡°Yummy.¡± Half an hour later, the apple slices finished frying. Zhu Yuan turned off the heat and took out another pot with steamed rice. He placed them one by one onto the table. Bian Bian climbed onto a chair and noticed that Uncle Zhu Yuan did not seem to have any intentions of sitting down. ¡°Bian Bian, I need to leave.¡± Zhu Yuan spoke softly. He crouched down to meet Bian Bian¡¯s puzzled look. Subconsciously, Bian Bian asked: ¡°Why?¡± ¡°Uncle needs to go to the base to find the person who hurt me and get revenge.¡± Bian Bian said: ¡°Then¡­ can you bring Bian Bian along?¡± ¡°No.¡± Zhu Yuan shook his head slowly. Bian Bian¡¯s small hands were tightly clasped together and tears fell from her eyes. ¡°Uncle Zhu Yuan, are you going to turn into a monster like Grandpa?¡± CH 16 Faced with the little girl whose tears were silently dripping down her face, Zhu Yuan opened and closed his mouth wordlessly. For a long while, he could not make any sound, as if his throat was glued shut. He knew that although Bian Bian was young; she was very intelligent. Having gone through the experience of her grandfather turning into a monster, she was quite sensitive towards these things. It was because she had already gone through such an experience that Zhu Yuan did not want her to undergo something like that again. He would rather leave a bad impression in Bian Bian¡¯s heart. It would be fine even if she doesn¡¯t like him. ¡°How could that be?¡± Zhu Yuan steeled his heart and showed a startled expression. ¡°Bian Bian, why would you think that?¡± He wiped away Bian Bian¡¯s tears clumsily. The rough fingers of the adult man scraped across the little girl¡¯s tender skin and caused it to become red. Upon seeing that, Zhu Yuan retracted his hand and used a napkin instead. Bian Bian pursed her lips, not saying anything. Zhu Yuan started speaking again: ¡°Bina Bian, I¡¯m really sorry. It¡¯s not that Uncle doesn¡¯t want to bring you to the base. Uncle needs to go take revenge, and it¡¯ll be dangerous if you stay by Uncle¡¯s side. It¡¯ll be safer for you to stay here. Once Uncle is finished with his revenge, I¡¯ll come back to bring you to the base.¡± When an adult has made up his mind to lie to a child, it¡¯s actually quite easy to do so. Met with Zhu Yuan¡¯s gentle explanation, Bian Bian felt a little confused. She turned to the little bear cradled tightly against her chest, the action giving her a sense of security. Then, she reached out with her other small hand and gently touched Zhu Yuan¡¯s face: ¡°Your face is really white and you were coughing badly earlier¡­ Grandpa was like this before too.¡± Her voice trailed off. Zhu Yuan grasped her small hand. At this moment, all of his inner resentment and uneasiness has suddenly disappeared. He should¡¯ve died a long time ago. The warm and cozy moments from the past few days were nothing more than stolen time. The only thing he should be doing now is to ensure that Bian Bian will not be broken-hearted because of him. ¡°Silly Bian Bian.¡± Zhu Yuan laughed, ¡°Did you forget that Uncle has injuries?¡± Saying that, he changed his expression and deliberately said: ¡°Could it be that you want Uncle to turn into a monster?¡± ¡°That¡¯s not true. I don¡¯t.¡± Bian Bian hurriedly shook her head. At the same time, those words allowed Bian Bian to believe in Zhu Yuan¡¯s lie. Confirming that Uncle Zhu Yuan would not become a monster, the little girl visibly relaxed. Seeing that Bian Bian believed his words, Zhu Yuan¡¯s eyes flashed with relief. ¡°But¡­¡± Without the fear of Uncle Zhu Yuan turning into a monster, Bian Bian had another worry. She said anxiously: ¡°Can¡¯t you stay home and heal your injuries before going to the base to take revenge?¡± Zhu Yuan already knew she would ask this and patted her head. He took out the level 3 wind crystal and said naturally: ¡°Uncle has this now, so my injuries will be healed very quickly. Since Uncle¡¯s enemy has gone to the base, if Uncle goes a day later, there¡¯ll be more opportunities for him to leave the base. Then it¡¯ll be very difficult for Uncle to find him again. Bian Bian did not really understand. ¡°Uncle must leave earlier. The earlier I can find my enemy, the earlier I will be able to take revenge.¡± Now, Bian Bian understood. ¡°Do you have to go now?¡± asked Bian Bian while suppressing her tears. Zhu Yuan did not look away from those crystal clear eyes. He only said: ¡°Uncle promises you. I will come back to you once I finish my revenge.¡± The small child nodded her head obediently, giving Zhu Yuan a sweet smile. Her smile made people want to cradle her in the palm of their hands and protect her from any harm. Zhu Yuan¡¯s eyes burned, and his heartbeat began to accelerate. He knew that he needed to leave now. The farther away he was, the better. He had no way of building a thick metal wall like Lu Yu to isolate himself so that he¡¯d be unable to harm Bian Bian while protecting her at the same time¡­ He could only leave and go as far away as possible. The farther away from Bian Bian he was, the safer she would be. Before he left, Zhu Yuan spent some time bringing up the remaining edible food from the supermarket downstairs. ¡°Bian Bian, when Uncle is not here, you should cultivate if you are bored at home¡­ As long as you become powerful, monsters won¡¯t dare to come to find you¡­ I put the stovetop on the chair, so you¡¯ll be able to heat water and make food. However, you have to be careful. Use your ability to protect yourself¡­¡± Zhu Yuan¡¯s speech was a bit jumbled, affected by the virus. His memories were getting messed up. In the end, worried that Bian Bian would notice, he stopped talking. He gave Bian Bian a hug, lowering his head to gently kiss her forehead before turning around and leaving. ¡°Uncle Zhu Yuan, I¡¯ll be waiting for you at home.¡± Bian Bian ran to the window. Downstairs, Zhu Yuan had found a barely functional car. He waved at the small figure in the window and stepped on the gas. The car wobbled away from Bian Bian¡¯s line of sight. Bian Bian stretched her neck and watched for a long time. Her bright eyes were filled with reluctance when she finally withdrew her gaze. But after a while, she started to smile happily again. She pulled the little bear into her arms and said: ¡°When Uncle Zhu Yuan is finished with his revenge, he¡¯ll be back. Since he is so powerful, he¡¯ll definitely come back very soon.¡± Having grasped the circumstances regarding Zhu Yuan¡¯s departure, Bian Bian turned her attention towards the invisible uncle. She hadn¡¯t even said thank you for the invisible uncle¡¯s help. ¡°Uncle, are you still here?¡± Bian Bian called out cautiously while looking around the empty living room. She was a bit curious, but also a bit anxious. There was no response. Bian Bian chewed nervously on her little finger before suddenly pointing at the cup on the table: ¡°Uncle, if you are here, move the table on the cup.¡± A minute went by. The cup remained in place, not moving a single inch. Bian Bian hung her head a bit dejectedly. It turns out that the invisible uncle had also left. Her clear eyes gradually dulled, similar to how a sparkling and translucent crystal loses its original luster. The sunset in the west and the world was bathed in the hazy dusk of twilight. Bian Bian lit the candles as usual and drew the metal curtains shut. The interior of the house became dim. It was very quiet. There wasn¡¯t a slight bit of sound. It was dead silent. Bian Bian patted her small stomach. After eating a bowl of fried apples, she wasn¡¯t that hungry. Before Zhu Yuan came, at night, Bian Bian would wash up early, lie down on the bed, and talk to Hui Hui for a while. Then she would close her eyes and go to sleep. However, after living with Zhu Yuan for a few days, Bian Bian felt unused to her old lifestyle. She hugged her little bear while laying in bed, her mind recalled the appearance of the corpse beast she saw during the day. The more she thought about it, the more afraid she became even though she was clearly not scared at the time. ¡°Hui Hui, I¡¯m scared.¡± A small, choked sob sounded in the quiet room. ¡°I miss grandpa.¡± The little bear had no way to comfort Bian Bian with words, but its presence was a source of strength for Bian Bian. Hugging her little bear, she cried for a while. Bian Bian raised her small hands and wiped away her tears before getting off the bed. She lit several candles, and the room suddenly became a lot brighter. ¡°Hui Hui, I want to go see grandpa.¡± Having brought up grandpa, Bian Bian felt brave again. With one hand clutching onto her bear and the other holding the candle, she opened the door. The staircase was so dark that nothing could be seen. When the door opened, a sliver of light leaked through, and the staircase was bathed in a faint light. Bian Bian arrived in front of the metal wall and placed the candle onto the floor. When she lifted her head, she was surprised to see that the bowl filled with rice and meat was empty. When she looked the day after she brought grandpa food, it had not been touched. It signified that grandpa didn¡¯t eat things like this. But Bian Bian never gave up on bringing food for her grandpa. These days when Zhu Yuan makes food, Bian Bian would always fill a bowl and place it in front of the hole just in case grandpa would eat it. Zhu Yuan didn¡¯t stop her from wasting the food. In fact, he had been very supportive. Now the bowl was empty. Didn¡¯t that mean grandpa ate it? ¡°Grandpa.¡± Hugging the empty bowl, Bian Bian shouted happily. In this quiet environment, her shout of ¡°grandpa¡± was exceptionally loud, echoing through the staircase. Following her shout, heavy footsteps sounded from within the metal wall. It was followed by a familiar crash. Ordinary people would have been terrified of the horrific crash that resounded in the dark, enclosed space. Bian Bian, however, found a strange sense of security within the crashing sounds. She felt at ease. At the very least, Bian Bian felt more at ease than when she was in her room. Thus, Bian Bian sat down along the vibrating metal wall. Hugging her little bear, she curled up against the corner of the metal wall and slept peacefully amidst the vibrations. Within the metal wall, the zombie that had continuously struck the wall stopped moving. Emotionless, its murky gray eyes roamed around mechanically. Following the faint light coming from the hole, he walked over. He stared at the hole for half a minute before moving away. He picked up a bottle of mineral water that Bian Bian had pushed in from the ground, unscrewed the cap, and gulped down the whole bottle1He¡¯s quite the civilized zombie lmao. Actually I didn¡¯t know zombies drank water¡­ I kinda thought they just went grawr and roar and chomp chom.. Holding the empty bottle, he stood still, as if he had forgotten what he was supposed to do next. He kept on standing there until he sensed something and suddenly became agitated. This time he rammed into the wall again, striking it a lot faster than he did previously. Nong Jiusi soaked in an enormous hot spring, surrounded by walls embedded with countless luxurious jewels. The word ¡°bejeweled¡± did not do the luxurious bath justice. The dragon race likes shiny things. It was in their nature. When they saw anything shiny, they wanted to collect it. This was something Nong Jiusi excelled at. His palace was made with all kinds of sparkling jewels¡ª He had gone to ¡°gather¡± them from various planets. Take the NR virtual device for instance. Nong Jiusi had actually obtained it from the hands of an intergalactic thief. He had taken a liking to its outer appearance. He liked the way it had glittered in the sunlight. The thief knew that they were extremely unlucky to have fallen into the palm of Nong Jiusi¡¯s hands. In order to live, the thief had taken out the NR device and hyped it up as much as they could, saying that the device was extremely magical. Nong Jiusi took a liking to the sparkling exterior, waved his hand, and let the thief go. ¡­¡­ Therefore, he didn¡¯t really understand the workings of the NR device. He had randomly tried it out once and played the game. But once the game disconnected, Nong Jiusi momentarily lost interest and just stopped caring about it. Now soaking in the hot spring, he suddenly remembered. He sent Nong Tang to fetch the device, ready to once again study/investigate it and see whether the device was really as magical as the intergalactic thief had said it was. As soon as he opened it, a projection with the words ¡°logging in¡± popped up automatically. Nong Jiusi: ¡°?¡± System: [Welcome.] System: [As a father, please provide Bian Bian with a pleasant environment and help her grow up. Good luck.] Nong Jiusi: ¡°¡­¡­¡± It was the same game as last time. Did it login automatically? He wasn¡¯t interested in playing a stupid game about raising children. Ignoring the system notifications, he got ready to exit the game. The image suddenly changed, and he saw the little one called Bian Bian curled up in a corner. Nong Jiusi¡¯s eyebrows rose. Two-thirds of the candle had already been burned through. Besides the little one, a dirty little bear laid on the floor. The red threads sewn on the bear¡¯s arm were so hideous that Nong Jiusi had to avert his eyes to prevent them from being defiled/corrupted. Looking at the little one again, he saw that both her eyes were shut tightly and her face was flushed. The hair in front of her forehead was drenched with sweat, clinging wetly to her skin. She seemed to be very uncomfortable. Nong Jiusi frowned, and he squatted down. After carefully scrutinizing her for a few seconds, he extended a slender finger and poked the little one. The little one fell over. Nong Jiusi: ¡°¡­¡­¡± A loudspeaker icon appeared beside the metal wall. When he tapped it, a loud striking sound exploded by his ear. Thinking back, he remembered the notification that the game had given before. Bian Bian¡¯s grandfather had turned into a zombie after being infected. Using his gold welding abilities, Bian Bian¡¯s grandfather had built himself a metal wall to isolate himself so that he wouldn¡¯t harm his granddaughter. From this, it can be concluded that the one who kept striking the wall was Lu Yu, who had become a zombie. Nong Jiusi stared at Bian Bian. What was going on in the little one¡¯s mind? Sleeping out here in the middle of the night, not afraid of the zombie who could break out and eat her. [Attention Player 2, Bian Bian is currently running a fever at 102.02¡ãF. You have two options.] [One, physically lower her temperature. Assist Bian Bian so she is safe and sound.] [Two, let the fever develop. If her temperature rises to 109.4¡ãF, there is a 50% chance of awakening psychic abilities. The remaining 50% chance is death.] [Please make your choice.] Faced with the options [Lower temperature] and [Let fever develop], Nong Jiusi casually said: ¡°If I choose the second option and the little girl dies, what happens afterward?¡± System: [You will lose the right to raise Bian Bian. The game will end when Bian Bian dies.] ¡°I can¡¯t choose again?¡± [No.] Nong Jiusi pondered for two seconds before decisively getting out of the bath. With a towel tightly wrapped around his waist, he made his way to Bian Bian¡¯s side in the projection. A high fever of 109.4¡ãF meant a 50% chance of awakening psychic abilities¡­ This was a great opportunity, but there was no need. More importantly, looking at the little one¡¯s uncomfortable expression at close range made it feel too realistic. There was no way Nong Jiusi could choose [Let fever develop]. In the case that her abilities didn¡¯t awaken, wouldn¡¯t he have to watch the little one ¡°burn¡± to death? Even if it was a game, he didn¡¯t want to see a situation like that. ¡­¡­ Gazing at the little one curled up like a little ball, Nong Jiusi had an odd expression on his face. Finally, he picked Bian Bian up, posture stiff. Lord Jiusi, who had never held a child before, was forced to hold a child within the game. It was a feeling foreign to him. His first time was unexpectedly taken due to a game. Like a puppet, Nong Jiusi held the child and walked to the door of the third floor. However, he was stopped by an invisible force that prevented him from entering. ¡ªIt was because Bian Bian was on the stairs and not in the living room. That was why he couldn¡¯t enter the door. ¡°¡­¡­¡± He lowered his head. The little one in his hands was trembling nonstop, her small face redder than before. Turning around, he walked downstairs to the floor below. Like before, he was still blocked by an invisible force, unable to pass through. Nong Jiusi¡¯s eyes narrowed slightly. He needed to lower her temperature but was unable to enter the living room or leave the complex. He could move around the stairs on the third floor. Where was he supposed to go to lower the little one¡¯s temperature? Take off her clothes? Members of the Dragon Clan are strong from birth. ¡°Sickness¡± was not a term that applied to their lives, but Nong Jiusi still had some common sense. When humans develop a fever, taking off their clothes didn¡¯t seem to be useful in cooling them off. Medicine? He subconsciously tapped open the market. Everything was grey. [Attention, Bian Bian¡¯s temperature has risen to 102.2¡ãF. You have lowered her temperature. If you don¡¯t take action, once her fever rises to 104¡ãF, Bian Bian will suffer from irreversible damage.] Nong Jiusi decisively returned to the third floor and faced the door with furrowed eyebrows. In the next second, he switched to holding Bian Bian with one arm instead of using both. Clenching his freed right hand into a fist, he lightly attacked the invisible barrier. [Anomaly¡ª] [System is in disorder¡­] [System recovering¡­] [System recovery complete.] He withdrew his hand. The invisible barrier had disappeared. Nong Jiusi carried Bian Bian into the room. System: [¡­¡­] Ultimately, it did not utter another word. It appeared to have tacitly agreed with Nong Jiusi¡¯s rule-breaking action of punching the invisible barrier. Confronted with the narrow, dimly lit room that was devoid of beauty, Nong Jiusi¡¯s eyebrows furrowed and his expression changed to that of unconcealed disgust. He placed Bian Bian on the sofa and moved his left wrist. After a few seconds, Nong Tang, who had received the order, hurried in. ¡°My Lord.¡± He wasn¡¯t surprised to see Nong Jiusi standing in the projection wrapped with only a bath towel. Nong Jiusi pointed at Bian Bian: ¡°The little one has a fever. How do you lower her temperature?¡± Nong Tang was surprised at how serious his lord was towards game characters, but did not dare to neglect his lord. However, dragons honestly didn¡¯t know anything about lowering one¡¯s temperature physically. He touched his horns, hesitating before saying: ¡°Soak in water?¡± Nong Jiusi felt that Nong Tang¡¯s words made sense. He proceeded to fill a basin with water and placed Bian Bian into the basin as if he were planting a radish. Jolted by the cold water, Bian Bian woke up in a daze. Feeling comfortable, she murmured unconsciously. Seeing a loudspeaker icon pop up by the little one¡¯s head, Nong Jiusi tapped on it. ¡°Daddy¡­¡± A sweet voice rang in his ears. It was like a feather gently brushed against his heart. Lord Jiusi¡¯s indifferent expression froze. CH 17 The dragons were a proud and formidable species. They had long lifespans, were extremely powerful, and originally lived on a different planet. The reason they had adhered themselves to humanity and become one of the Four Great Nobles was because of the Dragon Clan¡¯s one fatal weakness¡ª reproduction. 90% of the dragon race could not produce an heir in their lifetimes, a side effect of their strong powers. Presently, the entire Dragon Clan did not exceed a hundred members. Second, the previous emperor and the Dragon King had become good friends by an accident that arose from a combination of various factors. The emperor wanted to unify the empire, and the Dragon King helped in the process. In the end, the empire was unified, and the Dragon Clan became the head of the Four Great Nobles. Although they adhered to humanity, the Dragon Clan did not work for the empire. The Dragon Clan only extended a helping hand when the empire faced a large crisis. To put it bluntly, the Four Great Nobles merely existed as mascots of the empire. Dragons were an extremely proud race. They would never intermarry with other races. However, of the few dozen dragons within the clan, only a few were females. A majority of the dragons were bachelors. And even if there were two dragons attracted to one another, there was a high probability that they could not produce offspring. In the end, the Dragon King had no choice but to order the dragons to intermarry with other races to increase the chances of producing offspring. Otherwise, the dragon race would eventually go extinct. As the only nine-clawed azure dragon in the Dragon Clan, the Dragon King has always wanted him to continue his bloodline. That way, if Nong Jiusi got married, there would be a chance for a new nine-clawed azure dragon to be added to the Dragon Clan. In terms of seniority, Nong Jiusi was a generation older than the Dragon King and was the equivalent of the Dragon King¡¯s uncle. The Dragon King had been a little worried when he suggested, but as expected, Nong Jiusi had refused. He even gave the Dragon King a beating. After the Dragon King was left with a bloody nose and swollen face as the result, he never dared to bring up the topic again. In Nong Jiusi¡¯s opinion, no female in the entire universe could catch his eye and interest him. Of course, this wasn¡¯t due to his orientation, but his great pride. As a nine-clawed azure dragon, if he had to get married, then his marriage partner had better be at least a nine-clawed azure dragon. ¡ªThe Dragon King hoped he would continue the bloodline of the nine-clawed azure dragon after his marriage, but where was he going to find a nine-clawed azure dragon to be the bride? The matter was left unresolved. After being single for thousands of years, Nong Jiusi didn¡¯t care about continuing his bloodline. He¡¯d never even thought about it. He¡¯s seen the offspring of other races. Almost all of them were weak at birth, and one had to think up all sorts of methods just to raise them properly. It was troublesome. He could use all that time to sleep more and go out to ¡°gather¡± shiny crystals to decorate his palace. Thus, he wasn¡¯t the slightest bit interested in the child-rearing game. If it weren¡¯t for the projected game images looking so realistic and the pitiful little one drawing out a bit of his compassion, he would have long ignored it. Nong Jiusi didn¡¯t hate children. He just didn¡¯t want to interact with them because he simply found them to be troublesome. That didn¡¯t mean he would remain aloof when he saw a miserable child. At this moment, that soft ¡°daddy¡± floating in his ears brought forth a strange, indescribable, never in a thousand years throb. The blood flowing in his arteries vibrated faintly as if resonating with his miraculous experience of a ¡°first-time father.¡± It was amazing. Nong Jiusi lowered his line of sight to the little one soaking in the water. After that soft ¡°daddy,¡± she had quieted down and closed her eyes. She rested quietly in the basin as if she were a small, sleeping princess, supported by Nong Jiusi¡¯s finger on her back. After a while, Nong Jiusi used his other hand to tentatively poke the little one¡¯s flushed cheeks. His brows furrowed. It was like there was a layer separating his finger from her skin, preventing him from feeling any sensations. At that moment, Nong Jiusi suddenly remembered that the little one was a character within a game and not an actual existence. Of course, he wouldn¡¯t be able to touch her. However, the strange feeling in his heart was still there. Icy blue-green pupils contracted slightly and Nong Jiusi fell silent as a thought suddenly arose. What if he turned her into reality? If he could somehow extract the program and the codes that made up the little one and implement it into an artificial body, she would resemble an intelligent AI. Wouldn¡¯t the little one become a ¡°real¡± existence? Unexpectedly, right as the thought flashed through his mind, a system notification with bold and capitalized words popped up: [DON¡¯T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!] Nong Jiusi raised an eyebrow. Even the system found that it spoke inappropriately and immediately rectified its words: [Of course, you are welcome to try.] It wouldn¡¯t yield any results, anyway. [Initial cooling successful. However, Bian Bian is too small. Even if her temperature is lowered, if she soaks for too long, her body will suffer from irreversible damage. Please use a different method to lower her temperature.] [Attention. Please use an alternative method to cool her within 10 minutes.] ¡°So troublesome.¡± Nong Jiusi lifted the little one out. This time, his actions were more practiced and were done with a lot more warmth. The lighting in the room was too dim. Although he could see in the dark, the nature of the dragon race was to love everything ¡°shiny,¡± lights included. However, there was no electricity in the room, only candles. Nong Jiusi suppressed the discomfort that he felt in his heart and entered the bedroom with a blank expression¨D After shattering the barrier with his fist, all the other places had opened up. This made him feel a little happier. After efficiently removing Bian Bian¡¯s dripping wet clothes, Nong Jiusi tucked the little one into bed. Then he opened the closet. ¡°¡­¡­¡± He casually picked up a small dress. With the space between his brows pinched so tightly that it could squeeze a fly to death, he turned his head towards Nong Tang, who had also entered the projection, and asked: ¡°This is also considered clothing?¡± Nong Tang looked. His expression also took on the same disdainful expression as Nong Jiusi, albeit more reserved. He thought for a bit and said: ¡°Perhaps it¡¯s to highlight how tragic the character is so that the player will buy the character better clothes with gold.¡± It was just like some of the other holographic games. In the beginning, you¡¯re equipped with the most basic equipment. If you want gorgeous equipment, then you¡¯d naturally recharge gold. Nong Jiusi couldn¡¯t stand to face the closet filled with clothes that got on his nerves and immediately tapped open the market¡ª Because the little one had called him daddy, he wanted to give her a few sets of pretty dresses. ¡°¡­¡­¡± The entire [Clothes] column was grey. ¡°What¡¯s the matter with this?¡± The system did not respond. Nong Tang said: ¡°There might be set restrictions.¡± As soon as he spoke, the system emerged: [Bian Bian¡¯s intimacy level is currently at 0. Other than the basic laser gun model, you cannot buy anything else.] Nong Tang also saw the system prompt. He was silent for a while before commenting: ¡°Lord, this game is very¡­ unique.¡± It was his first time seeing a game where you couldn¡¯t casually use gold. Nong Jiusi gloomily took out a random dress and put it on the little one. His movements were very awkward. He¡¯d never helped young children wear clothes, especially human children. When he finally managed to pull the little one¡¯s head through the collar, he found that he couldn¡¯t fit her arms into the dress. In a quiet voice, Nong Tang pointed out: ¡°Lord, you seemed to have put it on wrong. Nong Jiusi: ¡°?¡± Nong Tang: ¡°You used the cuff as the collars.¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± Finally changed, Nong Jiusi did his best to ignore the ugly dress. He couldn¡¯t soak her in water, so what other way could he use to lower her temperature? Nong Tang speedily entered the StarNet and looked at several articles. Then he turned towards Nong Jiusi and said: ¡°Lord, the internet says you can lower the temperature by forcing them to sweat.¡± In simpler terms, it meant to let the little one¡¯s fever continue. He was just soaking her in water to cool her down, but now he needs to warm her up so she¡¯ll sweat¡­ Isn¡¯t the human method of lowering the temperature a bit odd? Nong Jiusi: ¡°You¡¯re sure that she won¡¯t burn to death?¡± Nong Tang wasn¡¯t sure. He wasn¡¯t a human, so he honestly didn¡¯t know. [Bian Bian¡¯s temperature is at 102.2¨H. It is rising.] Unable to find another solution, Nong Jiusi had no choice but to wrap her tightly with a blanket like a zongzi1Zongzi is a traditional Chinese rice dish made of glutinous rice stuffed with different fillings and wrapped in bamboo leaves, or sometimes with reed or other large flat leaves.. Within a few minutes, Bian Bian¡¯s face became even more flushed. Sweat poured from her body and dampened the dress she had just changed into. It was too hot. Small, brush-like eyelashes gently trembled and her small face scrunched up. Her body struggled instinctively, trying to break free from the heat that seems to be trying to melt her. However, no matter how hard she struggled, she could not escape from the tightly wrapped blanket. Nong Jiusi was starting to wonder whether this kind of method actually worked. What if it worsened her condition instead? Thankfully, the system spoke up at this moment: [Temperature is lowering.] Nong Jiusi didn¡¯t notice that his body relaxed a little. Nong Tang, on the other hand, did. He thought to himself : It seems like my lord has already taken an interest in the character in this game. When the system prompted that Bian Bian¡¯s temperature was almost back to normal, Bian Bian¡¯s dress was already drenched and had to be changed again. He looked at the little one who was breathing evenly and sleeping soundly. Difficult the first time, easy the second. The second time changing the dress, Lord Jiusi had experienced. In order to avoid putting it on wrong again, this time Nong Jiusi carefully located the collar before changing the little one. As he pulled the collar over her fluffy hair, his movement suddenly stopped. Before, most of his attention was focused on lowering her temperature. Now that Bian Bian was out of danger, Nong Jiusi noticed that the little one was so thin her ribs were protruding on both sides. In addition to being thin, there were also several lingering bruises. They looked frightening. ¡ªThese injuries were from before, when Bian Bian had accidentally fallen or bumped into things. Some of the earlier bruises had faded, but the recent ones have not completely healed. When he lifted the little one¡¯s thin legs, the two bruises on her knees were even more obvious. That injury was from running out of the kitchen after getting the cooking oil. Children have tender skin. It was just slightly red when she fell, but now it had turned into a large bruise. The expression on Nong Jiusi¡¯s face became a few degrees colder. Nong Tang was directly affected. His body trembled violently. Shuddering, he stepped backwards and retreated out of the projection. Pulling down the dress to cover the little one¡¯s small legs, Nong Jiusi sat on the bedside. His eyes left the little one¡¯s face, turning to the dimly lit space, looking pensive. No one knew what he was thinking about. After a few minutes he said: ¡°How do you increase the intimacy level?¡± System: [Decide to become Bian Bian¡¯s.] He looked around at the indoor candles. If Nong Tang hadn¡¯t searched it up on the StarNet/ Star Network, Nong Jiusi wouldn¡¯t have known that these things were candles, a means of lighting with little benefit. ¡°Nong Tang.¡± he said. ¡°My Lord.¡± ¡°The magic ball that I brought back last time. Bring it over.¡± Nong Tang went to carry out the order and came back half a minute later, handing a multicolored ball over to Nong Jiusi. By gently pressing on the colors, the magic ball will emit a light with the corresponding color. This was something that Nong Jiusi spent money on to buy it back from someone else. It wasn¡¯t worth much, but Nong Jiusi didn¡¯t hesitate to buy after seeing its ability to emit light and how shiny it was. He pressed white and the magic ball emitted a soft, bright light, enough to light the bedroom up as if it were daytime. That light filtered into the living room. Even the bedroom became a lot brighter. Looking at this scene with satisfaction, Nong Jiusi placed the magic ball on the bedside cabinet. ¡ª Some holographic games allowed users to bring items they bought out of the game using special devices. Although this child raising game could not be compared with other holographic games, the NR device made up for that defect. However, the magic ball reappeared back in his hand after he put it down. This unforeseen incident made Nong Jiusi¡¯s eyes narrow slowly. Slender fingers rotated the magic ball. Soon afterward, he clenched his fingers into a fist that flickered with azure light. Without warning, he slammed his fist into the bedside cabinet. [System is in disorder¡­] [System recovering¡­} [System recovery complete.] He unclenched his fist. The magic ball wobbled back and forth on the cabinet. After a long while it quieted down and did not return to Nong Jiusi¡¯s hand. ¡°It¡¯s quite tactful.¡± He said appreciatively. After he spoke, his movements stilled¡ª The little one in bed had woken up at some point and the bright light caused her to raise her small hand to shield her eyes. ¡°Uncle, did you come?¡± The little one¡¯s voice was timid and a bit hoarse. Lord Jiusi¡¯s calm and indifferent demeanor came to a halt¡ª Why aren¡¯t you calling me daddy anymore?! CH 18 Bian Bian was in a daze, still not quite awake. Unused to the bright light, she rubbed her eyes. A strange feeling filled her heart, making her feel like the invisible uncle had come. She vaguely remembered that she had fallen asleep near her grandpa, but now she was in her bed. It would have been impossible for her to have returned to the room while sleeping¡ªHow could she walk when she was asleep? More importantly, the dress that she had been wearing had been changed. The first thing that Bian Bian noticed when she woke up was not that she was lying on a bed, but that the dress she had been wearing had been changed into a completely new one. The dress that Bian Bian was wearing now was one that she had worn before. Sure, it was pretty, but Bian Bian didn¡¯t like it. Grandpa liked it a lot though, saying that she looked like a cute princess wearing it. However, grandpa didn¡¯t let her wear it outside, only letting her wear it when they were at home. The little girl felt that the lace flowers on the dress were too prickly, but for the sake of her grandpa, she would wear it obediently. After grandpa left, Bian Bian had shoved the lace dress to the bottom of the closet. One reason was that she didn¡¯t want to wear the prickly dress again. Another reason was that it reminded her of grandpa whenever she saw it. Thinking of grandpa made her heart ache. Hiding it away made it harder for her to feel sad. Right now she was laying in bed, wearing that dress. Other than the invisible uncle, she couldn¡¯t think of anyone else who could¡¯ve helped her change. Uncle Zhu Yuan had already left. There was nobody else in the house. Bian Bian didn¡¯t know why this uncle was helping her but never appearing before her. Since she knew he would come and leave quietly, she instinctively asked: ¡°Uncle, did you come?¡± Nong Jiusi had been so excited by the little one¡¯s fickle way of addressing him that he had hummed internally. He was addicted to the way that the little girl had called him daddy before. Why did he become uncle now that she was awake? No matter how he looked at it, it felt like the game was doing this on purpose Regardless, Nong Jiusi still planned on responding to the little girl. Problem is, how to respond? System: [Intimacy level is not high enough to communicate with Bian Bian.] Nong Jiusi: ¡°¡­¡­¡± While waiting for the uncle to respond, Bian Bian wriggled her sore little body and freed herself from the blanket¡ªBecause her temperature returned to normal, Nong Jiusi had loosened the blanket. That was why the little girl was able to get out on her own. Bian Bian raised her hand to wipe away the beads of sweat from her forehead and was poked in the face by the lace on her sleeve. Thus, she earnestly rolled the lace sleeve up a few times. Nong Jiusi, who had been silently watching the little one¡¯s movement, asked Nong Tang: ¡°Why is she rolling up her sleeves?¡± Nong Tang, who had been silently watching his lord play the game, thought for a bit and said: ¡°Perhaps she¡¯s¡­ hot?¡± This was when Nong Jiusi realized that he had changed the little one into a long-sleeved dress. No wonder he had some trouble putting it on her earlier. That wasn¡¯t his fault. ¡°In this closet of clothes, the workmanship, fabric, design¡­ Which one can be considered pleasing to look at?¡± Lord Jiusi roasted with a blank face. ¡°Only this one was slightly more decent.¡± Nong Tang didn¡¯t speak. He had the same opinion. Out of all the clothes in the closet, only that one was a bit brighter¡ªThe dragon race¡¯s sense of beauty was just that superficial. However, he wasn¡¯t the one playing the game. He just needed to listen with his mouth shut as his lord ridiculed the game. The system didn¡¯t respond either. It wondered what the hell do you know? ¡­¡­ She swallowed a few times. Bian Bian was hot and thirsty. She wanted to drink water. After the apocalypse, the weather no longer changed four times a year with the seasons. Now there were only two seasons left, summer and autumn. For ability users, this kind of weather wasn¡¯t all that different from the past. Ability users¡¯ bodies were influenced by their abilities, automatically strengthening to better adapt to the changing weather. But for ordinary people, it wasn¡¯t as comfortable. Fortunately, Bian Bian¡¯s physique was unique. She was not afraid of the heat. Even during the hottest of times during summer, her body remained cool, and she sweated a little. When she went to bed, Lu Yu had to cover her with a blanket to make sure she didn¡¯t catch a cold. Even then, Bian Bian didn¡¯t feel hot. In the winter, for his granddaughter to spend the winter warmly, Lu Yu would scavenge a lot of food in advance and use his gold welding abilities to reinforce their surroundings so that their house was warm like it was in the spring. They only went out after the cold winter had passed. ¡­¡­ That¡¯s why, in most cases, Bian Bian only felt hot when she was feeling unwell or if she stayed outside too long during the day. She wanted to get out of bed to get water. However, her fever had just subsided not too long ago, so her body was still sore. Instead of getting out of bed in a hurry, the little girl laid on the bed recovering her strength. She was very familiar with this kind of situation and knew what the best course of action was by herself. ¡ªIn the early days after Lu Yu had been infected, Bian Bian suffered from three high fevers. She fell asleep every time without knowing anything, and after she awoke, the fever would have already subsided. The first two times she woke up, she had rashly walked around before her strength recovered and fell. Of course, those three fevers also gave Bian Bian certain benefits. Her body, which Lu Yu had pampered since childhood, adapted quickly to this kind of life¡ªFor instance, she didn¡¯t vomit after eating, and she didn¡¯t get fevers after washing with cold water. Bian Bian didn¡¯t know what this meant, but she liked these changes instinctively because getting sick and running fevers was uncomfortable. She didn¡¯t like it. The room was quiet. Bian Bian¡¯s bright eyes quietly surveyed her surroundings, extremely hopeful that the invisible uncle will respond to her. But even after waiting for a while, there was still no sound. Her long, moist eyelashes drooped: ¡°Uncle, did you already leave?¡± Nong Jiusi: ¡°I¡¯m here.¡± Bian Bian couldn¡¯t hear him. Her wide eyes flashed with distinct disappointment. Nong Jiusi: ¡°¡­¡­¡± He glanced at the intimacy points that were suspended midair in the upper right corner. The number ¡°0¡± was displayed there. He had disregarded it earlier, but now, he couldn¡¯t ignore it even if he wanted to. ¡°Other than the little one, is there no other way to increase intimacy points?¡± He asked the system indifferently, staring in the direction of the intimacy points. His fingers once again began to clench together. System: ¡­¡­. [I can¡¯t do anything even if you hit me again. The intimacy level is based on how Bian Bian feels about her dad. It¡¯s all according to her heart. As long as you are good to Bian Bian and you make her feel cared for, happy, and that she¡¯s being helped, the intimacy level will naturally increase.] ¡ªThis explanation + hint was not mentioned to Xiu Jin. That is to say, brute strength was useless. He could only go through the normal procedures. It was just like a computer server. Perhaps you¡¯re able to find loopholes that allow you to break through the firewalls and get into the confidential files within. Then afterward, you find that there¡¯s another, even more, complex password required to access the confidential files which can¡¯t be cracked by normal means. You can only gain access when you obtain the password. Nong Jiusi stared at the ¡°0¡± for a long time. His elegant eyebrows were knit together. He pointed at the little girl on the bed, squinted, and said: ¡°I bought you a gun, helped you block the ant, changed your clothes to help you cool down¡­ And now, you don¡¯t know me, huh? You don¡¯t call me daddy and the intimacy level isn¡¯t increasing, little¡­¡± He didn¡¯t finish his sentence. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eyes, he saw Nong Tang¡¯s head hanging low. He couldn¡¯t see his face, but he could see that the two horns on top of his head were twitching restlessly. Nong Jiusi stopped talking. ¡°Nong Tang.¡± ¡°Lord,¡± Nong Tang lifted his head and looked directly at Nong Jiusi with a face that was both magnanimous + awed. That expression was as normal as ever. He would never admit that he was laughing a moment ago. ¡ªThe main reason was that he had never seen his lord talking with that kind of tone. It was like how a child¡¯s beloved toy was confiscated by their parents. Because they couldn¡¯t be angry, they could only mutter to divert themselves from the anger in their hearts. Nong Jiusi made a motion, signaling Nong Tang to come forward. Nong Tang bowed respectfully, ¡°Lord, your dinner hasn¡¯t been delivered yet. I will go take a look. The chef is probably slacking off again.¡± Nong Jiusi stared at him for several seconds. He stared until Nong Tang¡¯s scalp went numb, then made an indifferent ¡°mm¡± sound. Only then did Nong Tang withdraw as if given amnesty. He remembered the lesson: Don¡¯t laugh when in front of the lord. If you have to laugh, laugh when there¡¯s no one there. After that interruption, when Nong Jiusi looked at the number ¡°0¡± again, he found it to be a little more bearable. When he finally took his eyes off of it, he noticed that the little one had already gotten off the bed and was holding the magic ball. ¡°Is this from the uncle? It¡¯s like shiny light.¡± Although the light from the magic ball was bright, it was not glaringly so. After adapting to it, even if you hold it close, it will not harm the eyes. ¡°Hui Hui, this was given by uncle.¡± Her eyes became crescents due to happiness. She held the magic ball lovingly as she blew out the candle. As Nong Jiusi was wondering who ¡°Hui Hui¡± was, Bian Bian noticed that Hui Hui was not on the bed. In a panic, she ran crookedly outside with the magic ball towards the stairs, no longer caring about drinking water. Nong Jiusi followed behind her. It was only when she retrieved the bear by the metal wall did the panic on Bian Bian¡¯s face disappear. Hugging the bear tightly, she presented the magic ball like a treasure: ¡°Hui Hui, look. We¡¯ll be able to see at night without the candles now.¡± Her sudden dash to the stairs had woken the zombies upstairs. Bian Bian was already no longer scared of this kind of crashing sound. Thus, she even poked her face in the hole. Her eyes shone as she excitedly said: ¡°Grandpa, I have a light now. I won¡¯t bump into things because I can¡¯t see them anymore.¡± Nong Jiusi stood beside her. Hearing the crashing noises, he couldn¡¯t help but look towards the little one. He heard that humans had fragile ears, that staying in a noisy environment was detrimental to hearing. Slender fingers bent slightly and knocked a few times on the metal wall: ¡°Quiet down, aren¡¯t you afraid of causing your granddaughter to go deaf?¡± The crashing sounds became a lot quieter. Nong Jiusi¡¯s eyebrows rose. ¡°Grandpa, I¡¯ll be going back first.¡± After happily sharing her happiness about the light with her grandpa and Hui Hui, Bian Bian went back into the house and closed the door. A hand pressed against the seam of the door. Nong Jiusi who had almost been locked outside: ¡°¡­¡­¡± Noticing that the door wouldn¡¯t close, Bian Bian pulled open the door. Nong Jiusi took this chance to walk in. This time, the door closed. The little girl was oblivious. Bian Bian placed the small bear and the magic ball onto the table. The mineral water that had been unscrewed before had run out. She could only get a new bottle, using two small hands to twist¡ª Nong Jiusi didn¡¯t think too much, subconsciously reaching out to help when all he could see turned black. All of the images disappeared. ¡°¡­¡­¡± Disconnected again? He was about to log back in when he suddenly glanced at the time¡ª From when he started playing to now, three hours had passed. He¡­ played for 3 hours? This knowledge made Nong Jiusi restrain the hand that wanted to log back into the game. He originally wanted to study the NR device. Having finally remembered his original purpose, Nong Jiusi did not tap on the game again. Instead, he once again went back to soaking in the springs and began to study the NR¡¯s functions. ¡­¡­ Xiu Jin finished his work and went home to comfortably soak in the bath. Then he put a face mask on, laid in his massage chair, and logged onto the game to see his precious daughter. Once he entered the game, a system notification popped up: [Intimacy points +50.] £¿£¿£¿ Xiu Jin sat up so abruptly the mask on his face fell off. CH 19 ¡°Your Highness, your face mask fell.¡± The smart butler picked up the mask on the ground. After scanning it with its pupils, it said: ¡°It can still be used.¡± ¡°Your Highness, shall I reapply it for you?¡± ¡°Take it away!¡± Xiu Jin didn¡¯t have time to care about some face mask. He got off the massage chair, turned the screen towards the smart butler: ¡°What do you see?¡± The smart butler primly folded the face mask. Seeing the words on the screen, it read aloud: ¡°Intimacy point +50.¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± Confirming that he didn¡¯t read wrong because his eyes were blurry from fatigue, Xiu JIn stared at the +50 for half a day until the prompt disappeared. The original -10 intimacy points in the upper right-hand corner had become 40. The negative number had become positive. He didn¡¯t even enter the game for half a day. How did his intimacy points suddenly increase this much?! Suddenly, Xiu Jin remembered that ugly ant corpse beast. His precious daughter must have known it was him helping her fight the corpse beast. That¡¯s why she had good feelings towards him and the intimacy points increased naturally as a result. But¡­ why didn¡¯t it increase when he was online? Were the intimacy points delayed? Xiu Jin¡¯s mind was a mess. Then, these thoughts were shoved aside, only leaving behind joy that emanated from within. It didn¡¯t matter whether or not the intimacy points were delayed. Now that he had intimacy points, he could buy his precious daughter some good food! This afternoon, Xiu Jin had gone back to the black market. However, he made the trip for nothing as the seller of NR still didn¡¯t come. Furthermore, he also had to deal with Chu Xinran, which made him tired and annoyed. Now, because of the increase in intimacy points and a +50 increase at that, he felt at ease. All the unhappiness within his body faded away. Right as he tapped on the market to see what he could buy, another notification appeared: [Zhu Yuan was infected by the virus. To keep Bian Bian from feeling sad and scared, he chose to leave alone.] Xiu Jin¡¯s movement paused. £¿ Zhu Yuan had been infected and turned into a zombie? Like Lu Yu? ¡°How could that happen?!¡± Xiu Jin¡¯s brows wrinkled tightly together. His relaxed, joyful expression was replaced with a gloomy one. Forget about Zhu Yuan leaving behind his precious daughter by herself, how did Zhu Yuan become infected? When he had logged out of the game, everything was clearly finished. It should have been fine. Without waiting for him to think, the system popped up again: [Zhu Yuan¡¯s departure affected Bian Bian significantly, causing her to get sick and run a high fever at night. Thankfully, her fever has gone away without any problems. However, her body has lost too much energy, Please provide energy for Bian Bian.] Compared to Zhu Yuan, of course, his precious daughter was more important. Xiu Jin didn¡¯t leave any room for thought, he immediately tapped to open the market. ¡°Why are the other columns still grey?¡± He was speechless. Other than the food, he had also wanted to buy other things for his precious daughter. ¡°Don¡¯t I have intimacy points now?¡± The system was silent. Tapping open the food column, all the icons in the first row were finally lit up. In total, there were four icons. Other than the red apple, the following three icons were categorized as such: [Organic mineral water]: 100-star coins. Organic mineral water contains special minerals suitable for children ages one to five and will enhance their physical fitness. Limit one bottle at a time. [Magic jumping sausage]: 200-star coins. Magic jumping sausage is made with special meat and will help one to five-year-olds develop better bones, absorb energy better, and promote healthy development. Limit one purchase at a time. [Brain development toddler milk powder]: 500-star coins. Milk powder is one of the essential energy sources for toddlers. Brain development toddler milk powder can help one to five-year-olds develop their brain regions and makes the toddler more and more intelligent as they grow. Limit one can at a time. After reading through, Xiu JIn was unsatisfied: ¡°Why are the others still grey?¡± He wanted to let his precious daughter eat a big meal! Not these simple, unappetizing-looking foods. [First of all, your intimacy level is insufficient so you can¡¯t open the icons. Secondly, Bian Bian is still young. Her body does not have a high tolerance. Foods that are too high in energy will lead to negative side effects for her. Note that the side effects are irreversible. Player 1, please raise Bian Bian reasonably.] Xiu Jin: ¡°¡­¡­¡± So this was to advise him to be sensible about using gold and to not show off his wealth like some sort of parvenu? To not buy, buy, buy and end up hurting Bian Bian? Is that what it was trying to say? [Yes.] Xiu Jin: ¡°¡­¡­¡± He didn¡¯t feel like acknowledging this trashy system. He was raising a daughter, not a pig, so naturally, he should be the judge of what he can buy and what he can¡¯t buy. He only wanted to have more choices, to let Bian Bian experience a wider variety of food. That way he¡¯ll be able to raise her so she¡¯s fair-skinned and well-fed. All the remaining icons were grey. He wasn¡¯t sure what they were, so he asked again: ¡°How many more intimacy points do I need for them to appear?¡± The system answered quickly: [500.] Perhaps the +50 intimacy points gave Xiu Jin a burst of confidence because at that moment he felt that 500 intimacy points weren¡¯t that big of a deal. After all, his precious daughter knew of his existence and knew that he wouldn¡¯t harm her. The intimacy points would be easily earned. Five hundred¡­ Piece of cake. Xiujin clicked on the checkout option and swiped. The payment was successful. Just as he was happily placing the three items he bought onto the table, a sudden notification popped up: [Intimacy points used up.] He stared blankly as the ¡°40¡± in the upper right-hand corner turned to ¡°0¡±. ¡°¡­¡­¡± When buying goods, in addition to stealing money, this trashy system took intimacy points too?! System: [Of course. You need to use the money to buy a ticket/pass to enter the black market, and once you enter, money is also required to buy items. Intimacy points and star currency follow the same concept. One is used to unlock the purchase channel and the other is used to pay the price. ] Xiu Jin accepted the explanation with furrowed brows. Wait a second¨D ¡°It even knows that I went to the back market?¡± He stared suspiciously at the game screen, ¡°Are you an intelligent system?¡± System: ¡­¡­ System: [I thought you already knew that from our first conversation.] Compared with Nong Jiusi¡¯s intelligence, the difference was like heaven and earth. The system pondered silently. However, there were a few advantages¡ª He was easy to trick and easy to control. Xiu Jin humphed¡ª He was just momentarily surprised that the system of an ordinary game was an intelligent system. No game developer would use an intelligent system for an ordinary game. That was because it was difficult for the server of an ordinary game to hold the amount of information/data required for an intelligent system. But now he understands. He reckons the reason for using krypton gold was due to this incompatibility. It wasn¡¯t that the game doesn¡¯t allow the usage of gold, but that the server could not sustain it. The intelligent system could only be set in this mode. With that in mind, Xiu Jin wasn¡¯t all that angry at the trashy system anymore. Once he finds out which game company developed the game, he¡¯ll use his money to buy the game and ask a professional team to reform it. Even if it was only his daughter in a game, he was going to give her the best. The best way to do that was not just through using krypton gold¡ª It was to change the basic doomsday setting and give his precious daughter a whole new world. While Xiu Jin¡¯s imagination ran wild like a heavenly steed soaring across the sky, his hands were not idle. He slid all the items he bought onto the table and then attentively observed his precious daughter¡¯s expression. She shouldn¡¯t be startled this time, right? Bian Bian, who was gulping down the mineral water that she had opened by twisting until her hands were red, saw the three items suddenly appear on the table. She didn¡¯t check what the items were immediately, but instead in a tone that was both cheerful and mixed with a slight uneasiness, said: ¡°Uncle, you¡¯re here?¡± Xiu Jin was struck with a bright idea and pushed the bottle of organic mineral water to indicate that he came. Bian Bian¡¯s eyes brightened. The smart little girl understood the hint and looked around, her eyes bent into crescent shapes. She showed her teeth, which were white like glutinous rice, and asked while picking at her little finger: ¡°Can you let me see you?¡± She didn¡¯t know why the Uncle didn¡¯t meet with her, but she really wants to meet him. She wants to thank him. Grandpa said that you must show gratitude to those that help you, so she wanted to meet the Uncle in person and thank him. As she spoke, she straightened her small body. With a sweet voice, she introduced herself: ¡°Uncle, my name is Bian Bian. I¡¯m five years old.¡± She was as serious as could be. That was quickly followed by: ¡°No matter what Uncle looks like, Bian Bian won¡¯t be afraid.¡± She felt that perhaps the reason the invisible uncle didn¡¯t meet with her was that he was not good-looking. As far as appearance was concerned, Xiu JIn possessed incredible acuteness¨D From childhood to now, he was blessed by the heavens. As a result, he miraculously managed to understand what his precious daughter was implying. ¨DBian Bian thought the reason he didn¡¯t show himself to her was because he¡¯s ugly? How could that be?! As the son of a royal family who was voted the most handsome by the general public, how could he leave such an impression in his precious daughter¡¯s heart? He thought of the self-portrait that he¡¯d painted in the back of his closet. In order to prompt Bian Bian, Xiu Jin pointed at the bedroom door with the jumping sausages. Bian Bian watched on curiously as the jumping sausages flew up and stayed suspended by the bedroom door. She sniffed with her small nose, it smelled so good~ However, as a father who was wholeheartedly determined to prove his beauty, he completely missed the little girl¡¯s expression. Bian Bian entered the bedroom with the magic ball in her arms. Xiu Jin slipped the jumping sausages into Bian Bian¡¯s hands and after a while of moving around his fingers, finally opened the closet. The self-portrait from last time peeked out. Bian Bian held the jumping sausage without taking a single bite even though she was tempted by the sausage¡¯s fragrance. Then, she went to the wall and looked at the self-portrait. ¡°Uncle, are you trying to tell Bian Bian that you look exactly like the person in this picture?¡± asked Bian Bian It¡¯s unclear as to what happened to the original portrait, but there were a lot of strange marks that had appeared on the face. It looked as if the face was covered in scars. The right eye had been smudged, looking as if he was blind in one eye and wearing some sort of mask. It was not ¡°handsome¡± at all. Xiu Jin: ¡°¡­¡­¡± ¡°No, that¡¯s not me!!!¡± He roared loudly CH 20 Needless to say, after seeing his own face ruined like this, Xiu Jin¡¯s heart crumbled. He thought of his flawlessly handsome face that was reconstructed on the wall with his own exquisite drawing skills ¨DHis painting skills were amongst the best! It looked positively ghastly now! And when he saw the expression on his precious daughter¡¯s face as she confirmed his appearance, how could he bear it?! How did the perfectly fine portrait on the wall become like this?! Xiu Jin did not have time to care about his daughter. Fuming, he demanded: ¡°Are you the one who did this?!¡± That¡¯s right, the one he yelled at was none other than the system. Intuition told him that this was the work of the trashy system. Otherwise, how could one explain the transformation of a handsome face to a blind, scarred face? The system quickly denied: [No.] Xiu Jin didn¡¯t believe that at all: ¡°Who else could it be if not you?!¡± The system drawled out: [The closet is placed against the wall. When you moved the closet, the closet rubbed against the wall and ruined your face. It has absolutely nothing to do with me. You did everything by yourself, so you can¡¯t blame me.] Obviously, the system wouldn¡¯t admit to tampering with it. As if sprayed with cold water, the flames of Xiu Jin¡¯s anger sizzled out¡ª It wasn¡¯t as if there was no such possibility. He was skeptical: ¡°Really?¡± System: [Of course. Besides, why would I mess up your face?] That¡¯s true. Even if it messed up his face, he could still find an opportunity to draw another portrait. However, without the NR device projecting, there was simply no way for him to draw using the screen on the wall. This won¡¯t do. No matter what, he had to quickly buy an NR device. That way he¡¯ll be able to leave a good impression on his precious daughter. Bian Bian was still carefully staring at the picture, trying to memorize uncle¡¯s face. After seeing what Xiu Jin looked like, the little girl confirmed that the reason the uncle didn¡¯t meet with her was definitely that he was unattractive to look at. That was why he was not willing to show himself. That one auntie she met with grandpa before was also like this. ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­.. It was an ordinary, middle-aged woman. Bian Bian¡¯s impression of this auntie was very deep. Even though it has already been a year, she still couldn¡¯t forget. Lu Yu and Bian Bian would occasionally pass by and trade with bases. It was in a small base that Bian Bian got to know this auntie. Ordinary people go to the bases to seek shelter and to find a safe place to live. However, this did not necessarily mean that they would live a good life. In fact¡­ Other than not being eaten by zombies, ordinary people lived lives that were worse than those of refugees before the apocalypse. With the advent of the apocalypse, social hierarchy became more distinct with each passing day. The weak attached themselves to the strong and the strong bullied the weak. This had already become the new law during the apocalypse. The middle-aged woman did not have any particular skills, only a son who also had no skills. In order to protect her immature son, she willingly used her own body to trade for supplies to ensure that she and her son would be able to survive. Her son did not understand her and hated her. The woman was gloomy like a mouse living in a gutter. Not only was she subjected to the torment of the men outside, when she returned to her small residence, she had to endure her son¡¯s verbal and physical abuse. When Lu Yu had brought Bian Bian along to this small base to trade for supplies, they met this woman. She liked Bian Bian a lot and gave Bian Bian a small bag of cookies. While gently patting her head, the woman said with a smile: ¡°Little sweetie, be sure to grow up safe and sound.¡± Bian Bian thought that the auntie was very pretty when she smiled. Her voice was also pleasant. As they were leaving the base, they coincidentally saw the woman¡¯s son being bullied by several men. The woman risked her life to protect her son, but was instead shoved by her son and yelled at. The son¡¯s voice was very loud and very unpleasant. Bian Bian didn¡¯t have the chance to clearly hear what he was shouting before grandpa covered her ears, not letting her listen. She saw that brother¡¯s face, hideous and twisted like some sort of monster. He didn¡¯t hit the bad uncles that were bullying him, but the auntie that was protecting him. Bian Bian felt strange and turned to look at grandpa. Grandpa¡¯s complexion was ugly. She determined that her grandpa was furious. After grandpa chased away those bad uncles, that brother cursed at grandpa for being too nosy. So grandpa hit the brother. Bian Bian watched from the side, feeling that grandpa was right to hit him. She didn¡¯t like that brother. Thinking of how the auntie gave her cookies, she felt that she should help the auntie stand up. But when Bian Bian walked over to the auntie¡¯s side, the auntie didn¡¯t let her help. She shrunk into herself and told Bian Bian: ¡°Don¡¯t look at me¡­ Leave, leave!¡± Bian Bian was carried out of the base by Lu Yu. She was puzzled: ¡°Grandpa, why didn¡¯t that auntie let me look at her?¡± Lu Yu sighed, his large, rough hand stroked the top of her head. He said: ¡°Because auntie doesn¡¯t feel like she¡¯s good-looking and doesn¡¯t want to scare Bian Bian. That¡¯s why she didn¡¯t want you to look at her.¡± Bian Bian didn¡¯t really understand. Now seeing how the invisible uncle doesn¡¯t come out to meet her and seeing the picture of the face, Bian Bian confirmed in her heart that the uncle didn¡¯t want to scare her with his unattractive appearance. That¡¯s why he didn¡¯t show himself. Grandpa said that if you ask others for help and they refuse, you need to understand that you can¡¯t ask them for the same favor again. She really wanted to thank the uncle in person. But since the uncle wasn¡¯t willing to meet her, she could not force him. The closet moved back, blocking the ugly face. Xiu Jin came to a decision. He¡¯d draw his own face for his precious daughter once he got his hands on an NR device. He needed to let his precious daughter clearly know that her daddy was not ugly at all. After moving, he heard his precious daughter look up, face the closet as if he was standing there, and say in a serious voice: ¡°Uncle, thank you for buying these things for Bian Bian.¡± Xiu Jin mumbled: ¡°Why doesn¡¯t my precious daughter call me daddy.¡± He definitely didn¡¯t want to be no uncle. He was a dad! After seriously conveying her thanks, Bian Bian couldn¡¯t resist the jumping sausage in her hands. The fragrant smell from packaged jumping sausage had been continuously wafting out, tempting her. ¡°Uncle, can I eat it?¡± Of course, daddy bought them specifically for you. Xiu Jin purposely took the jumping sausage from Bian Bian¡¯s hand and then placed it back, using this movement to indicate that it was hers. ¡°Uncle, thank you.¡± Bian Bian tore open the package, eyes instantly sparkling. The jumping sausages were around 10 centimeters with a pink, jelly-like surface. She took a bite gently. It was meat! The little girl jumped happily. She¡¯s never eaten such yummy meat. It was even more delicious than the roasted rabbit meat she had before. The little girl was so happy she forgot about the uncle. She turned and ran towards the stairs. Grandpa would always give her delicious food, she also wanted to share with grandpa. ¡°Grandpa, this meat was given to me by the invisible uncle. It¡¯s very yummy. I¡¯ll put it here. ¡°The little girl placed the remaining ? of the jumping sausage into the bowl by the hole and cheerfully skipped back into the house. Xiu Jin watched blankly as his precious daughter only ate a few bites before giving it all to Lu Yu. This sincere act of filial piety made his heart feel stuffy. On one hand, he felt that Lu Yu truly taught the little girl to be too understanding and mature. On the other hand, he wanted the little girl to not think so much about others and to think more about herself. Unfortunately, only one jumping sausage could be bought a day. He could only give up. Then the little girl did something that moved Xiu Jin greatly¡ª ¡°Uncle, uncle Zhu Yuan made fried apple slices with the apple that you gave me. It¡¯s very good, try some.¡± Bian Bian climbed onto the dining chair and uncovered the bowl of apple slices. Since she did not know where the invisible uncle was, she could only talk while staring in a random direction. Ahhhhhh. His precious daughter was also being filial to him! The small inklings of jealousy towards Lu Yu instantly disappeared into the horizon, only leaving behind the giddy mood brought about by his precious daughter¡¯s moving actions. Who said there were no benefits to playing games? This sort of inner satisfaction can not be explained with words. Before today, he was still a bad guy in his precious daughter¡¯s heart. Now, his previous daughter was being filial towards him and their relationship soared. Xin Jin quickly tapped on the screen in an attempt to pick up a slice of apple, trying to show his precious daughter that he was ¡°eating.¡± However, he couldn¡¯t pick up the slices in the bowl! ¡°¡­¡­¡± Bian Bian waited for a while, noticed that the apple slices didn¡¯t move, and subconsciously bit on her finger. There were still traces of the wonderful jumping sausage flavor in her mouth. Bian Bian suddenly understood. Since the invisible uncle was able to give her so many delicious things, he must have also eaten a lot of delicious things. The apple slices didn¡¯t move, which meant that the uncle didn¡¯t like apple slices. She thought of the discomfort she felt when she ate things she didn¡¯t like and quickly covered the bowl, not wanting the uncle to feel awkward. Then Bian Bian saw that there were two extra items¡ª Brain development milk powder and organic mineral water. There were Chinese words written on each item, but Bian Bian didn¡¯t recognize the words however she did know how to read pictures. There was a picture of a small infant on the milk powder. The packaging was the same as the cans of powdered milk she used to eat. She immediately understood that this was the neinei1From what I can understand, neinei is what Bian Bian calls milk. her grandpa used to make for her. As for the organic mineral water, it looked the same as regular mineral water. Bian Bian also recognized it. Bian Bian¡¯s small hand pushed the milk powder can. From the weight, she could feel that it was a full can. Where did the invisible uncle find this neinei? Milk powder was hard to find. Every time Lu Yu looked for milk powder, he had to look for a long time. It was something that could only be discovered but not sought out and was a resource that had to be exchanged for with crystals. At that time, Bian Bian had a vague idea of the concept of ¡°money.¡± She felt that it was expensive for Lu Yu to raise her, so she had told her grandpa that she didn¡¯t want to drink milk powder. Lu Yu had jokingly threatened her: ¡°Bian Bian, if you don¡¯t drink neinei, you won¡¯t be able to grow tall.¡± From then on, Bian Bian never dared to mention ideas about not drinking milk powder. It was only when Lu Yu couldn¡¯t find any more formula that she stopped drinking. Thus, in Bian Bian¡¯s heart, milk powder was extremely valuable. It was as valuable as meat. Yet she had just eaten the most delicious meat in her five years of living. And now, she had a brand new can of milk powder. While the little girl was delighted, she felt uneasy. The type of uneasiness felt when you gain something that can¡¯t be repaid. At the same time, she had doubts¡ª How was the invisible uncle able to find these things, and why was he treating her so well? As she thought, Bian Bian¡¯s eyelids grew heavier. Sleep comes to children easily. Not to mention, her fever had only subsided and she couldn¡¯t hear the invisible uncle speak. Other than her, the room was quiet, so she fell asleep sprawled on the table. Xiu Jin was still struggling with the apple slices. After seeing his precious daughter put the lid back on the bowl, he was worried that his precious daughter was disappointed. Thus, he was trying to find a way to pick up the apple slice. And then¡­ There was no ¡°and then.¡± His fingers were sore, but he still hadn¡¯t managed to pick up a slice. He was so angry that he wanted to turn the game off. It wasn¡¯t until the system told him that Bian Bian was sleeping soundly that he remembered his precious daughter. Because he couldn¡¯t enter the room, he could only place Bian Bian onto the sofa. The ability to use his fingers to move Bian Bian made Xiu Jin feel a little bit better. At least he could still move his precious daughter. At least the game is not disabled. Seeing his precious daughter¡¯s cute little face, Xiu Jin came to a decision¡ª Until he got his hands on an NR device, he wasn¡¯t going to log into the game! CH 21 It¡¯s the beginning of a new day, Bian Bian opened the metal curtains. Although she knew that the uncle was gone, she was not lost this time because she was sure that uncle would come back. She first get readied herself, twisting and wriggling to replace the lace skirt on her body. It was just too prickly. After she was done, she then noticed that the magic ball is still glowing. Bian Bian carefully held it in her hand and curiously turned it around. She saw that there is a hollowed part on the white side of the magic ball, so she tentatively pressed her little finger on it, and then the white light disappeared. She then pressed the other colors one by one and unexpectedly found that each color pressed will make the magic ball emit the corresponding color. It was not only bright yet not blinding but also very beautiful. The little girl seemingly gained a novel toy. After playing with all the colors for a while, she carefully placed the magic ball in the bedroom. She didn¡¯t dare to play again in fear of running out of ¡®batteries¡¯ because by then, it will not light up. Bian Bian walked into the kitchen, Zhu Yuan previously moved the stovetop on a chair so that she could use it with her height. She did not think much and pick a small pot to boil water. Poured the bottle of organic mineral water into the small pot and carefully turned on the gas. The stove is very dangerous so she squatted away holding the little bear while guarding it. When the water boils, she can turn off the gas for the first time. It didn¡¯t take long for a bottle of water to boil. After a few minutes, the small pot made a gurgling sound. She stood up to turn off the gas, and then return to the living room in preparation to open the can of milk powder. After the can was opened, there was still a layer of sealed iron sheet inside. Bian Bian had little strength and the sides could not be pulled so she had to use a knife to pierce the sheet little by little, slowly cutting it open. Although Bian Bian¡¯s arm was sore, she was full of enthusiasm at the thought of the joy of being able to drink milk powder. After more than ten minutes, Bian Bian finally pried the iron sheet open. She wipe off the sweat from her forehead, and smelled the unique fragrance of milk powder. The little girl licked her petal-like lips, as she could¡¯nt wait to take out the baby bottle that she hadn¡¯t use for a long time. Carefully washed it with boiling water, and fill herself with a bottle of neinei in one breath! She lay on the sofa drinking while holding the bottle. Her eyes bent into small crescents, and her thin calves swayed and shook, full of cuteness. After Nong Jiu Si logged into the game, what he saw was the scene of the little girl holding the bottle with her raised feet while drinking happily. He glanced at the dining table, and through the bits of powdered milk left on the knife as well as the lid sitting next to it, he concluded that the little girl opened the can with a knife and then boiled the water to drink it. Nong Jiusi didn¡¯t think about where the milk powder came from, just like how Xiu Jin didn¡¯t think about the appearance of the magic ball, they unconsciously ignored this. In fact, Nong Jiusi was thinking about why he would enter the game through the NR device early in the morning. He was about to meet with His Highness Xiu Yan to talk about some matter, and that he should be packing up and preparing at this moment. However, staring at the little girl who is happily drinking milk, he gave himself a reasonable excuse-just want to see if there is any sequelae after the fever is over. Now it seems that she is fine. The system popped up: ¡¾ Please increase the intimacy value with Bian Bian as soon as possible, otherwise you cannot buy self-defense weapons for Bian Bian in the market. ¡¿ ¡¾Note that although the basic laser gun is powerful, it is a disposable weapon. The most important thing is that, it is too heavy for Bian Bian¡¯s current age and physique to use. ¡¿ ¡¾There are too many inexplicable changes in the last few days, and there could be danger at any time. As a father, you are obliged to be responsible for the safety of the little girl. ¡¿ Nong Jiusi: ¡°You talk too much.¡± System: ¡°¡­¡­¡± Absolute silence. Nong Jiusi glanced at the floating ¡°0¡± in the upper right corner, stepped closer to the sofa, lowered his eyes and looked at the little girl. So small. A little speaker shaped icon appeared on the little girl¡¯s head, his slender finger lightly tapped on it. ¡°¡­What to give to uncle, uncle is so kind to me, but I don¡¯t know what to give, so annoying.¡± Nong Jiusi raised his eyebrows. Want to give him something? She burped milk and turned over to talk to the little bear, her little face covered in genuine sadness. Nong Jiusi moved his gaze to the little girl, tightened his eyebrows again, and finally forced his eyes away to avoid being polluted by her dirty appearance. He wanted to see what the little girl would give him. As for having no intimacy value, and being unable to purchase weapons in the market, Nong Jiusi¡¯s mouth raised, showing a smile that was not a smile. System: ¡°¡­¡± bad premonition. Unexpectedly, Nong Jiusi went offline. After breakfast, Nong Jiusi changed his clothes and walked out of the palace gate. Nong Tang had already parked the aircraft at the entrance and hurriedly opened the door: ¡°My lord.¡± Nong Jiusi bent over and sat inside. Half an hour later, the aircraft landed on a green lawn, and another aircraft parked next to it, with a long ornate tail fluttering on the top, swaying with the wind. ¡°My lord, the Feather Clan is here.¡± ¡°I see.¡± In front of the lawn are several interconnected buildings, which is the empire¡¯s military command center, where they work when they are not on a mission. After walking forward for a while, the sergeants in military uniforms saw Nong Jiusi, bending over, they all said in unison, ¡°I have seen Lord Jiusi.¡± Nong Jiusi nodded in response. He is a frequent visitor of the military command center, and an untitled instructor in the military department. What is an untitled instructor? Someone who can teach everything. Combat, command, reconnaissance¡­, as long as he is willing to teach, anything is fine. Not only that, they are also called devil instructors by many sergeants. Just before entering the hall, a lieutenant hurriedly greeted and respectfully said, ¡°Lord Jiusi, the general is in the office accompanied by a man from the Feather Clan waiting for you.¡± Nong Jiusi asked: ¡°Feather clan?¡± The lieutenant answered, ¡°Yes, it¡¯s the Feather king.¡± Nong Jiusi didn¡¯t ask any more, but Nong Tang was curious, ¡°What does the Feather King doing here?¡± Similar to the Dragon Clan, the Feather Clan has a small population and majority of them live in the phantom forest bestowed by the empire. They usually does not prefer going out, and even if they do, they do not transform to their human form. The planet that they once live on was affected by the war. A large number of the Feather Clan became infected and died. Later, the previous Feather King joined the emperor¡¯s battalion to form an alliance to deter the invaders and realize the unification of the empire. The former Feather King unfortunately died in the final battle. After the unification of the empire, the emperor chose a suitable forest for the Feather Clan and named it the Phantom Feather Forest, allowing the rest of the Feather Clan to live freely in the empire. The emperor raised the son of the previous Feather King, Huan Tianjue, in the palace. After he became an adult, he would be given the title of the Feather King. After the previous wars, the remaining Feather Clan longed for a peaceful life. Only a few lively clan members chose to live in the center of the imperial capital like ordinary people. Among them was the current Feather King Huan Tianjue. ¡­.. The lieutenant replied, ¡°King Tianjue is here to ask the general for a few fighter jets.¡± Nong Tang was a little surprised, ¡°What does he want fighter jets for?¡± The lieutenant shook his head and explained in detail, ¡°It should be due to the order of the emperor. King Tianjue was cooperating with His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince to establish a charity foundation which is intended to help some refugees from remote planets, so fighter jets are needed to transport supplies.¡± It is now clear. The lack of supplies on the barren planet means that the order there will not be too safe. Therefore, the fighter jets carrying the supplies can also play a protective role. A group of three people took the elevator to the 22nd floor. The lieutenant pushed the door open into Xiu Yan¡¯s office: ¡°General, Master Jiusi is here.¡± ¡°Jiusi.¡± Xiu Yan smiled and beckoned, ¡°You came so early? It doesn¡¯t look like your style.¡± Nong Jiusi said indifferently, ¡°Are you saying that I am always late?¡± Xiu Yan smiled. He didn¡¯t care about the oppression Nong Jiusi showed, and said, ¡°Isn¡¯t it?¡± Nong Jiusi: ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Master Jiusi.¡± Huan Tianjue sat on a chair beside Xiu Yan. He stood up when Nong Jiusi came in. Today¡¯s Nong Jiusi didn¡¯t even wear a suit. He was wearing simple casual clothes, a pair of black-framed glasses on the bridge of his straight nose, with nothing fancy at all. He looked like a beautiful gentle teaching professor. Nong Jiusi¡¯s jaw tip towards Xiu Yan a little bit, ¡°Are you here to ask him for fighter jets?¡± Huan Tianjue moved his glasses and sighed, ¡°Yes, but third brother seems to be worried, and doesn¡¯t want to give it to me.¡± ¡°Why are you hesitating?¡± Nong Jiusi looked at Xiu Yan, ¡°He and your stupid rich brother are cooperating for charity. Why don¡¯t you invest in a few fighter jets?¡± Huan Tianjue picked up the coffee next to him and sipped. A smile flashed across his eyes. It is said that the eldest master Jiusi has a weird temper. Even if he and Xiu Yan are friends for ¡°so many years¡±, he will ¡°turn his face¡± if he doesn¡¯t agree with him. Probably because Xiu Yan made him ¡°late¡± just now. Huan Tianjue put down his cup of coffee and smartly chose not to speak. Xiu Yan coughed and rectified his brother¡¯s name: ¡°Where is little seven stupid?¡± Nong Jiusi smiled, as if to say something silently¡ªeverywhere. ¡­.. ¡°Aye!¡± Xiu Jin, who is driving the car to the black market to find NR device, sneezed, thinking that some bastard was scolding him behind his back. CH 22 ¡°Sir, I¡¯m really sorry, I bought this set of NR virtual device from someone else, but yesterday, I sold it to another seller.¡± When Xiu Jin went to the boss¡¯s shop in the black market, the door was closed for a few days. The boss finally opened the door today, however, before he could be happy, the boss who learned of his intention showed regret. ¡°I haven¡¯t been here these past few days. I just went home to deliver something.¡± The boss said. Xiu Jin: ¡°¡­¡± ¡°You only have that set? Nothing else?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± The boss nodded. Xiu Jin almost died of anger. Anxious, he furiously said: ¡°Who did you sell it to?!¡± The boss¡¯s chubby face squeezed together, his eyes can¡¯t be seen. He shook his head and smiled like a Maitreya Buddha. ¡°Sir, there are rules in our business and we can¡¯t reveal the privacy of our customers.¡± ¡°I really need it urgently!¡± Xiu Jin searched on his body and took out a small crystal card. This is an unspecified star coin card. As long as you swipe with your mind essence, the stars inside will automatically be deposited into your account. ¡°This is one hundred thousand.¡± He pushed the crystal card to the boss, ¡°Tell me who you sold it to.¡± The boss¡¯s eyes fell on the crystal card. Dollar signs flashed shrewdly in his eyes, but he did not answer immediately. He still maintained his expression, and replaced it with embarrassment: ¡°This¡­Aren¡¯t you embarrassing me, I¡­¡± Xiu Jin narrowed his eyes: ¡°Boss, this is the only chance, if you truly don¡¯t want it then¡­¡± He gestured to take back the crystal card. The Seventh Prince may be ¡°naive¡± in some aspects. But in business, there are plenty of people like this boss who want to sit down and negotiate the price. He wants the NR device very much, but this doesn¡¯t mean that he will let the other party open their mouth as big as the lion¡¯s. The boss is also a shrewd person, he immediately understand what he should do. He took the crystal card and said honestly, ¡°Sir, to tell you the truth, I don¡¯t know who the buyer is. The buyer gave me a generous price. The address is on a remote planet called Gurley. I was asked to send it manually. When I arrived at the designated location, I did not even see the buyer himself¡­ The only information I can give you is that, I handed the item to an advanced intelligent robot. ¡° Judging that the boss did not lie, Xiu Jin had a headache. However, as far as the two NR device are concerned, one is in the hands of Nong Jiusi. Just that, it is impossible to buy something from Nong Jiusi. ¨Dor rather, no one can ¡°buy¡± something from Lord Jiusi, unless he doesn¡¯t want it anymore. This one may be possible. As long as the other party is not someone like Jiusi, there is a high probability that he will be able to get it. However, based on the description of the boss, the other party does not live on this planet, but on the planet called Gurley, which is a certain distance away from the Empire. So the fussy coward-let the boss personally send it over, instead of the interstellar express, and even send a robot to the designated place just to receive it. It can be seen that the identity of this person should not be low, or at least not poor. ¡°Give me the place and time of the transaction.¡± The boss who easily took one hundred thousand star coins gave it to him. He feels that he has been quite lucky recently. The NR device he sold was bought from an old woman for less than ten thousand star coins. It was then sold at a high price and was bought by a mysterious buyer. Now another rich second-generation wanted it. If he knew that this would happen, he would not sell it so quickly. If he let both parties bid, making the price higher, he estimated that he would make more. But it¡¯s also good now. Contentment begets happiness. Sending away the rich second generation who was obviously wearing a disguise mask just now, the boss smiled and swiped the 100,000 stars into his account. While the Seventh Prince was struggling to find NR virtual device, Bian Bian was seriously thinking about giving gifts to his invisible uncle. The little girl thought for a long time, but she didn¡¯t know what to give. Also, she has nothing special to give. ¡°Ah yes!¡± With a clever move, she opened the drawer under the coffee table and took out a drawing book from it. The front pages were filled with colorful flowers, which were painted by herself with a paintbrush. The little girl turned to the blank page at the back and carefully tore off one page. She decided to fold little animals for her uncle. Bian Bian can fold several kinds of small animals¡ªfrogs, butterflies, bunny, pigs, fishes, etc., which Lu Yu used to make for Bian Bian as toys. Sometimes the little girl mischievously takes apart the small animal that grandpa folded, and then folds it back according to the crease, and she naturally learns how to do it. ¡°I don¡¯t know if the invisible Uncle would like it, but this is the only gift I can give.¡± She folded while talking to the little bear. Grandpa said that giving gifts is not about the value, but more about the thought in one¡¯s heart. If invisible Uncle doesn¡¯t like it¡­ ¡°If he don¡¯t like it¡­ I don¡¯t know.¡± She said looking at the little bear¡¯s eyes, while pursing her lips. Nevertheless, she continued to fold seriously. Recalling the steps carefully, she was immersed in her own thoughts, not knowing that the time has passed. However, after drinking a whole bottle of brain development milk powder brewed with organic mineral water, she was not hungry at all. The first animal she folded was a bunny. After folding, she used a paintbrush to paint it. After applying a little paint here and there, a colorful bunny emerged. ¡°Gray, is it okay?¡± She proudly shook the colorful rabbit in front of the little bear, and then nodded its head with her fingers, indicating that it was so pretty. The little girl¡¯s vanity was greatly satisfied. She put the finished work aside, and started to fold a little frog. Bian Bian folded several of them in one breath, and when she was making the little piggy, the folding suddenly stopped¡ªshe forgot the next step. She tried several times without success. Instead, she accidentally tore the paper. While looking at the little bear, her tender face flashed with discouragement. Suddenly, she remembered something, her eyes lit up, she hurriedly got up, ran back to the bedroom, opened the second drawer of the bedside table¡ªthere were full of origami animals inside, all made by Lu Yu before for his granddaughter. She almost forgot that she put them here. From the many origami toys, she found the little piggy that grandpa folded. She noticed a blue dragon with wings. It looked good, so she also took the blue dragon out and returned to the living room. The little girl carefully disassembled the little pig and the blue dragon, and then fold it back according to the crease. In this process, after learning how to fold, she tear off a new page in the drawing book and start folding a new one. Of course, she wouldn¡¯t take what her grandpa made. In the spacious living room, the little figure sat quietly on the cushion, folding the slightly hard drawing paper in her hand, while occasionally raising her head to talk to the little bear sitting opposite. Next to her, are several lifelike origami animals, all of different colors. She now only has the last origami in her hand, which is also the most difficult one¡ªthe blue dragon with wings. ¡°Ah, my hands are sore.¡± She shook her little hand, put down the half-folded dragon, and lay on the floor mat to rest. Turning her head, she looked at the five origami that she has folded with big eyes. She felt a sense of accomplishment. ¡°If uncle doesn¡¯t like it, I will just give it to myself.¡± She thought. Lying on her stomach, the tired little girl felt sleepy. Rubbing her long eyelashes, she soon fell asleep. Through Nong Jiusi¡¯s ¡°help¡±, Huan Tianjue finally got Xiu Yan¡¯s funding as he wished. Knowing that these two ¡°billion-year-old¡± friends had something to discuss, he took the initiative to leave. As for what Nong Jiusi and Xiuyan had specifically talked about, no one knew. Even Nong Tang didn¡¯t know, only that the master¡¯s expression when he left Xiu Yan¡¯s office was pleasant. ¡°Shall we go back Sir?¡± Nong Tang asked. Nong Jiusi thought for a while, and said, ¡°Go to the palace.¡± He immediately agreed. As he was about to start the aircraft, he heard Nong Jiusi said: ¡°Forget it, go back.¡± Nong Tang didn¡¯t dare to ask why. Of course, he wouldn¡¯t know. The reason Nong Jiusi changed his mind was because he suddenly remembered a certain kid, who said that she wanted to give him a gift when he entered the game early this morning. After so long, he wonder what the little girl would give him? Thinking about it this way, hurrying back for the little girl¡¯s gift is more important than going to the palace to find the emperor, and Nong Jiusi chose the former without hesitation. How capricious! Back to his palace, Nong Jiusi told Nong Tang to retreat and close the door. Only then, did he casually turn on the NR device and log in to the game. As soon as he entered the game, what he saw was the picture of the little girl lying on the ground sleeping soundly with her ass raised. ¡°¡­¡± A prompt came out from the system: [Bian Bian is sleeping soundly, please don¡¯t wake her up.] Silently glancing at her, Nong Jiusi squatted with his long legs, poked the little dumpling¡¯s face with his finger, and said in disgust, ¡°From who did she learn this sleeping posture?¡± CH 23 No matter who the little girl learned this sleeping posture from, and no matter how ungraceful it is, she sleeps as if she has an obsessive-compulsive disorder where her feet are levelled evenly! He turned her side over and placed her soft body into a normal sleeping position. After doing all this, he nodded in satisfaction. Then he noticed the colorful origami animals next to him, picked up a pink piggy, and carefully look at it. He glanced at the brushes, drawing book, and some discarded papers scattered nearby, without thinking about it, he can immediately guessed what happened. ¨D¨Dthe little dumpling fell asleep due to exhaustion after doing origami. Is this his gift? [This is all I had work hard for just to give to my father, please don¡¯t dislike it.] The corner of Lord Jiusi¡¯s mouth faintly raised. Of course, he knew what a game character set by the system as a five-year-old child can give to a player. It wouldn¡¯t be too valuable anyway. What he is looking forward to is what kind of gift the little girl would be able to come up. Unexpectedly, it really gave him a big surprise. Soon, his attention fell on the blue dragon that she haven¡¯t finished folding. It was a coincidence. There happened to be a member of the Dragon clan with dragon wings behind him, which caused Nong Jiusi to recognize this semi-finished origami as a dragon at a glance. Whether it was a coincidence or a deliberate setting by the system, Nong Jiusi¡¯s expression was slightly startled when he saw this dragon. He chuckled lightly. Suddenly he felt a strange sensation from this childish game of child raising, which even surprised him. This feeling is like hearing her call ¡°Dad¡± next to him. It is a little illusory, but also real, and it subconsciously affects his feelings for the game. Nong Jiusi took two steps and sat next to the side. Holding the semi-finished dragon, he gently move his beautiful and slender fingers, taking apart the semi-finished dragon. His fingers turned quickly. After a while, a completely different blue dragon appeared. The body was elongated, unnecessary corners were cut off, and there is no dragon wings. Instead, there were two more claws under its feet. Its nine claws are bent. This is the Nine-Clawed Azure Dragon. Ordinary blue dragon has only three claws, while the dragon king has five claws. Only Nong Jiusi has nine claws, representing the most powerful force and the purest bloodline. But after folding, Nong Jiusi took the little dragon away, the more he looked at it, the tighter he frowns. ¨D¨DIt seems that the fold failed to show the mightiness of a dragon, and the iconic nine claws were stuck in the belly. How to say, it look a bit¡­silly. Nong Jiusi thought about it for a few seconds, and finally tore the claws blankly. Then, the nine-clawed azure dragon that he had personally folded turned into a silly azure snake. Lord Jiusi, who is fascinated by his own origami technique: ¡°¡­¡± Just as Jiu Si was trying to destroy it, the little girl woke up. When Bian Bian sat up while rubbing her eyes, she saw the floating ¡°Nine-Clawed Azure Dragon¡± in mid-air. Bian Bian: ¡°?¡± Seeing that the little dumpling woke up, Nong Jiusi had no choice but to give up after losing the opportunity to destroy it. ¡°Uncle, you are here!!¡± Bian Bian quickly realized that the invisible uncle was here. She yelled out happily. Call daddy! ¡°Uncle, did you fold this little snake? It¡¯s so beautiful!¡± The little girl didn¡¯t even know that her words made the corner of the handsome man¡¯s mouth twitch. The sight of her uncle tearing down the blue dragon that she originally folded into a snake did not make her angry, but made her especially happy¡ªbecause uncle can also fold small animals. This means that he himself likes it, so he won¡¯t dislike the other small animals that she made. As if offering treasures, she pushed all the finished product over: ¡°I don¡¯t know what to give, and I can only fold small animals. In the past, my grandfather would fold small animals to make me happy. Every time I got a new small animal, Bian Bian will be very happy.¡± ¡°Uncle, I hope you like it.¡± The little girl unknowingly hugged the little bear tightly in her arms and clenched her small fists. Her big grape-like eyes are looking towards the ¡°little snake¡±. The invisible uncle must be there. Faced with the little cutie¡¯s longing look, it is difficult for anyone to resist the attack. Obviously, Lord Jiusi could not resist either. After two seconds of silence, he picked up the few-finished origami, then glanced at his folded ¡°self¡± with disgust, and finally put ¡°himself¡± to the side resignedly. ¡°Thank you, uncle.¡± Nong Jiusi can put real weapons into the game, but he can¡¯t bring things out of the game. Just standing here with these small animals is like not accepting the little girl¡¯s gift. At that time¨C He looked at the clear black eyes beside him, afraid that she would cry. Nong Jiusi sighed secretly, got up, took the animal origamis, and left the room. Bian Bian was stunned watching the door open and close; she then realized that her uncle had left. However, she has confirmed that the uncle liked the gift she gave. She instantly became happy, and started playing with the little snake in her hand. Although the little snake was a bit ugly, she put it solemnly in the second drawer of the bedroom together with the little animals that grandpa folded for her. Nong JIusi walked out of the room and tried to think about how to deal with the origamis. Looking at these little animals, which seemed especially childish to adults, Jiu Si looked around for a moment; he noticed the metal wall and already had an idea. He approached the metal wall, stuffed the little animals along the hole, and said lightly, ¡°It¡¯s best if you keep it.¡± At this time, several system prompts popped up in succession: ¡¾Ding! High-level zombies can evolve upwards, to an extent where they are able to restore part of their self-awareness. Are you willing to help Lu Yu evolve successfully and restore his self-awareness? ¡¿ ¡¾You have two choices: One, help evolution. Two, give up help.¡¿ ¡¾Attention! Successfully evolving to level 5 can restore 10% of self-awareness. Lu Yu¡¯s current level: level 4. The more you evolve to a higher level, the more difficult it becomes. The success rate of promotion is only at 20%. Once the promotion fails, Lu Yu will die. Please choose carefully. ¡¿ Nong Jiusi read the system prompts that simultaneously popped up. ¨DIs this the time for the player to deal with the side story? Also, if an ordinary child raising game just revolve around the child¡¯s daily routine, with no other plot to unlock, the player will get tired sooner or later. However, Nong Jiusi only played this game because the little girl¡¯s ¡°Daddy¡± moved him. He is only interested in the little girl. And had no interest in other side plots. He did not want to waste time on this side story. Therefore, He did not hesitate to choose ¡¾Give up Help¡¿. The system seemed to have expected this result a long time ago, and another prompt pops up in the next second¨C ¡¾Attention! Chen Jiahe and Zhao Jue who are going to the base was chased by their enemy Flying Dragon organization on the road. They lost each other. Zhao Jue was injured but luckily escaped. However, the people from the Flying Dragon caught Chen Jiahe. In order to prevent accidents, Chen Jiahe not only told those people that there is a large amount of food in Jinxin Supermarket, but also told about Bian Bian. They are about to come at Jinxin Supermarket and they are expected to arrive in ten minutes. ¡¿ ¨CThe supermarket that was emptied before Zhu Yuan left was called Jinxin Supermarket. ¡¾Feng Leijie, the leader of the Flying Dragon, is a B class ice-type ability user. Take care of the little girl. Once he find Bian Bian¡¯s existence, Bian Bian¡¯s life will be directly threatened. As a father, please protect Bian Bian.¡¿ Nong Jiusi¡¯s face suddenly sank. ¡°Brother Jie, you see, were about to arrive at the supermarket soon. Can you let me go?¡± On a heavy truck more than a dozen miles away, Chen Jiahe smilingly said to Feng Leijie who was sitting on the opposite side. She never thought that she would be so unlucky that she would meet people from the Flying Dragon. ¨D¨DShe and Zhao Jue met a D-class ability user surnamed Feng before. The person didn¡¯t even speak to Chen Jiahe, and directly used his hands. Zhao Jue taught the other party a lesson, but he didn¡¯t expect the other party to be too weak and died straight away. After learning that the wretched man was Feng Leijie¡¯s own younger brother, the two naturally, did not dare to provoke the Flying Dragon. They hurriedly wipe out all the evidence and immediately speed up to the base. Along the way, they stumbled upon Jinxin Supermarket and found Bian Bian inside. At that time, Zhao Jue wanted to take Bian Bian to the base, but Chen Jiahe stopped him for a reason. He thought that they could reach the base smoothly, but he did not expect to meet the enemy on a narrow road. Zhao Jue escaped, and Chen Jiahe did not expect him to come and save herself. Now Zhao Jue is only at C-level, still weak. Even if he does come to save her, it is not guaranteed that they will be able to return. If she want to survive from Feng Leijie, she can only rely on herself. Those who knew people from the Flying Dragon were not welcome to the base because of their bad reputation outside. Therefore, they had limited supplies. due to her quick-wittedness, she immediately remembered the food left on Jinxin Supermarket. And that beautiful little girl. She surmised that if there were no accidents, the little girl would live in either a supermarket or a nearby building. Chen Jiahe used to read novels. People either transmigrated into idol dramas and became a sweet and beautiful main character or crossover to other normal worlds and become the protagonists. However, she spent her eight lifetimes just to fall into this cruel apocalyptic novel.[1] Moreover, it¡¯s still a male-oriented apocalyptic novel. How cruel. She must survive, and the most basic principle of survival in the apocalypse: not to be softhearted, let alone be a saint. So¡­ if the little girl named Bian Bian is still alive, she should hide far away, otherwise don¡¯t blame her if they find her. ¡­ Feng Leijie stared at Chen Jia gloomily and replied, ¡°You better not play tricks.¡± ¡°How do I dare?¡± Chen Jiahe looked at him cautiously, her eyes slightly flushed, ¡°Believe me, if I really did lie, I, I can just ran with Zhao Jue, why would I stay and take refuge on you? Jinxin Supermarket and that little girl are proof of my sincerity¡­¡± ¡°You are so smart and strong, if I had lied to you, wouldn¡¯t I be digging my own grave?¡± She chokingly said, looking pitiful. Feng Leijie enjoys the adoring and awe-struck look that women gives him. Before the apocalypse, he was a vagrant beggar who didn¡¯t want to work. He just pretended to be pitiful and asked for money every day. Feng Leijie often took charity money just to eat from restaurants, but was always driven out because of his dirty clothes. He suffered a lot of discrimination, which gradually distorted his heart. When the apocalypse happened, he miraculously awakened his abilities and became strong. Five years later, he was promoted to B class . Feng Leijie also established the Flying Dragon organization in order to recruit a group of ability users for his own use. He wink at his subordinates, and someone immediately loosened Chen Jiahe¡¯s tie. ¡­¡­ A few minutes later, several cars stopped in front of Jinxin Supermarket one after another. Chen Jiahe was roughly pushed out of the car. When she saw that the almost empty supermarket, her eyelids twitched and her face turned pale instantly. ¡°This is the large amount of food you are talking about?¡± Feng Leijie, who just got out of the car and glanced inside the supermarket, turned and pinched Chen Jiahe¡¯s neck, his eyes flashed with hostility, while her feet is narrowly touching the ground. Chen Jiahe breathed laboriously. The pain of suffocation made her instinctively struggle, death was approaching. She struggled to squeeze a word from her throat: ¡°Little¡­girl¡­child¡­¡± Feng Leijie let go of her hand, and Chen Jiahe fell softly to the ground, coughing violently, her face turned purple. Her body was trembling unconsciously, looking at Feng Leijie¡¯s eyes in terror. ¡°Where is the little girl?¡± Feng Leijie¡¯s angry expression slightly loosened, and then he said lightly, ¡°Think about it.¡± ¡°If you can¡¯t find it, or talked nonsense in the first place just to delay time¡­¡± knives suddenly appeared on his hand, he licked one of the blades, his eyes were full of cruel excitement, ¡°I will hang you upside down on a charcoal fire. Grill into slices and eat them.¡± ¡­ At the same time, Bian Bian thought that her invisible uncle already left. She touched her deflated belly, and prepared to boil water for noodles to eat. Suddenly, she heard a female voice from outside downstairs- ¡°Bian Bian, where are you?¡± References CH 24 Bian Bian was shocked, how could there be an aunt calling her. She subconsciously ran to the window to see who was calling her and why she knew her name. Then, she can¡¯t run further. The little girl tried to move, there was obviously nothing in front of her, but she seemed to encounter a transparent wall and she couldn¡¯t walk through it. The little girl was very puzzled, she leaned her little head forward. Immediately after, she seemed to understand something, she instantly become happy. She probingly whispered, ¡°Uncle, is that you?¡± Nong Jiusi, who used his body to block the little girl, did not respond to her. He was carefully reading the instructions given by the system. Bian Bian is too small to hold the basic laser gun, even if he buys it, she can¡¯t use it. Putting the weapons aside, in reality¡ªall the people who came are ability users, and the leader is at B-class. Even if he insists, will she be able to fight a group of ability users with just a weapon? System prompt: ¡¾Zhu Yuan left early yesterday after being infected with the virus. Now he has transformed into a Level 3 zombie, would you like to summon him nearby?¡¿ ¡¾Attention! Zhu Yuan has now become an uncontrollable senior zombie.¡¿ Faced with this option, Nong Jiusi who was blocking the little girl from running to the window, did not hesitate and immediately chose to summon. ¡°Bian Bian, I am the sister you met in the supermarket the other day. My sister and uncle came to pick you up to the base¡­¡± The female voice sounded again, ¡°Where are you, come out, we will take you back to the base, there are many kids there like you.¡± Bian Bian heard the words clearly, reminding her of the uncle and aunt she met in the supermarket a few days ago. She remembered that the uncle wanted to take herself away, but the aunt was unwilling and thought she was a burden. She heard that tone many times. It was easy to recognize it. They didn¡¯t want to take her at that time, why would they be willing to come back and take her away after only a few days. Bian Bian turned her little head, seriously thinking about the strange behavior of the unfamiliar aunt and uncle. Outside the community gate downstairs, the reinforced metal wall was too conspicuous. However, it can¡¯t be opened. The inside is locked¡­ Chen Jiahe is not sure if the little girl lives in this compound, but there are no zombies nearby, and it is locked tightly. Its just too strict and suspicious. Therefore, she told Feng Leijie that Bian Bian might be living in this compound, but before they rushed in, she used a simple way to test if the little girl is really inside. What does a child know? She will definitely show up. If she doesn¡¯t come out, it won¡¯t be too late to break in though. Feng Leijie let her play, and did not forget to ask his subordinates to look around for the little girl. Based on his understanding of Chen Jiahe, this woman should have not lied to him, as long as the little girl is here, they will be able to find her. As for Chen Jiahe, it¡¯s also a pleasure watching a clown panicking and performing a show in front of him. Feng Leijie, who was sitting in the car, looked at Chen Jiahe as if looking at a dead person. Satisfying him so desperately, praying to escape from his hands. In the end, the bamboo basket was thrown into the water[1]¡­ Just thinking about it makes Feng Leijie¡¯s body tremble with excitement. His eyes become darker and more sinister. Chen Jiahe put down the speaker and waited for a response. However, half a minute past but there was still no response. A subordinate suddenly ran over from the other side: ¡°Brother Jie, we discovered something!¡± The younger brother is just a low-level ability user, his face turned pale as he said, ¡°It was a third-level zombie that burst into two parts. It should have been killed yesterday.¡± Feng Leijie¡¯s trembling and excited face slowly paused, his eyes rolled down, and he stared at his little brother. Chen Jiahe heard those words too, and her face instantly turned pale. A third-level zombie is equivalent to a B-class ability user. Moreover, an ability user should be at least a B-class in order to kill a third-level zombie. Chen Jiahe claimed that this is almost a dead city, not to mention live zombies; they can¡¯t even see dead zombies. Feng Leijie got out of the car. Chen Jiahe¡¯s back was instantly soak with sweat. ¡°Brother Jie, when I and Zhao Jue passed here, we really didn¡¯t encounter a zombie, let alone a zombie¡¯s coercion¡­ Otherwise, how can we leave here safely?¡± Faced with Feng Leijie¡¯s murderous look, Chen Jiahe took advantage of herself being a woman and kept her posture to the lowest level. Her mind thinking rapidly. A third-level zombie died, indicating that at least a B-class ability user killed it. If the little girl had been living nearby, there would be two possibilities. The zombie ate her, or a high-level expert took her away. The food in Jinxin Supermarket was almost gone, indicating that the person with the ability to kill the zombie has left already. As for the little girl, she is either dead or taken away by the ability user. No matter what the situation is, their possibility of finding the little girl is very slim. Of course, there is also a third possibility¡ªthat girl not only wasn¡¯t killed by the zombie, but also didn¡¯t leave with the ability user who killed the zombie. After analyzing the situation, Chen Jiahe felt that if she did not find a way to escape now, she would never be able to leave. However, she didn¡¯t have a chance to escape. His subordinate dragged the corpse of the ant zombie beast and told that apart from this corpse, there was nothing else that seemed suspicious. Feng Leijie chuckled twice. He first glanced at the corpse of the zombie on the ground, and confirmed that it was indeed a third-level zombie. Then, he turned his gaze to the pale-faced Chen Jiahe, who was also trembling, and actually smiled at her. Chen Jiahe¡¯s scalp went numb. ¡°You already know that there is a third-level zombie here. The food and the little girl are just your excuses. In fact, what you want to do is to kill with a borrowed knife.¡± He approached Chen Jiahe step by step, as the grin on his face grew bigger, ¡°What a clever and bold idea¡± ¡°It¡¯s too cheap just to grill you, I decided¡­¡± Before he finish the words, a zombie¡¯s roar suddenly sounded from the top of the compound. In addition, they felt a powerful coercion coming from a high-level zombie, sweeping like a gust of wind. In this terrifying coercion, Chen Jiahe, who only awakened a D-class ability, seemed to have a mountain pressing on her back. With her legs bent, she knelt on the ground, holding her painful head full of sweat. Feng Leijie¡¯s low-level subordinates reacted similarly to Chen Jiahe. Feng Leijie¡¯s face became very ugly, his pupils shrunk. He looked up, staring at the area above the third floor. The roar and coercion came out from there. In an ordinary community, first, a level 3 zombie was killed, and now there is a level 4 zombie that hides inside the compound. The third and fourth level zombies correspond to B-class ability. While at the same level, an ability user and a zombie have different strengths. Fourth-level zombies are equivalent to the pinnacle of B-class ability users. Feng Leijie has not reached the peak yet¡ªthat is to say, if he rashly confronts a fourth-level zombie, even if they had an advantage in number, he does not dare to take the risk. ¡­ ¡°Jie, brother Jie, should we¡­ go¡­ go over?¡± one of his subordinate asked with a trembling voice. Suuddenly, there was a loud noise behind them. It turned out that an earth-type ability user found a zombie approaching from a distance. He was running towards them at an unusual speed. He subconsciously activated his ability and converge a large block of soil and threw it at the zombie. . ¡°No, it¡¯s a third-level zombie!¡± The zombie was tall and had an extraordinary aura. As he ran, the wind swept up on the ground and gradually formed a small tornado, sucking all the objects on both sides of the street. At the same time, the threatening roar of zombie continued from upstairs. ¡°God, two high-level zombies!!!¡± They couldn¡¯t hide their panic and terror anymore. Where would they have the guts to stay here¡ªif it¡¯s just one high-level zombie, Feng Leijie even began to contemplate whether to fight. He was finally able to meet a fourth-level zombie, if he could kill the zombie and get the crystal stone¡­ But now there is another third-level zombie, and the two sides is about to face each other. There is clearly no chance of winning. Feng Leijie¡¯s subordinates did their best to deal with the newly arrived zombie who was roaring endlessly. Chen Jiahe decided to take a gamble in an instant; otherwise, she would never be able to escape Feng Leijie, as he would never let her go. Therefore, Chen Jiahe gritted her teeth, hurriedly threw away the speaker in her hand, and prepared to use her ability to open the lock in the metal wall¡ªshe wanted to hide inside the compound. There is a level four zombie inside, and there is a level three outside. She believed in the so-called, the most dangerous place is the safest place. However, how could Feng Leijie let the woman who tricked him do what she wanted? Therefore, when he got into the car, he also took Chen Jiahe back. The zombie is getting closer, and the tornado behind him swept toward the vehicle in a devastating manner ¡­¡­ Bian Bian stretched out her little hand and touched the ¡°thing¡± blocking her in front; the various noises from outside the window attracted the little girl¡¯s curiosity. She couldn¡¯t help but quietly move from the side to go to the window. With a single step of his long legs, Lord Jiusi once again blocked the path of the little girl. Bian Bian: ¡°¡­¡± So wronged. References CH 25 Screams, punches and kicks resounded in the speeding vehicle from time to time. Chen Jiahe endured the severe pain from her body and pretended to faint. ¡°Brother Jie, this bitch passed out.¡± Feng Leijie raised his hand, and the man who was beating Chen Jiahe backed away, revealing the dying young woman. ¡°Brother Jie, this woman is still a bit pretty. Let¡¯s take it back and chop off her limbs. She¡¯s not bad to be a human swine. It will also make the brothers happy.¡± The man who was sitting next to Feng Leijie had a long scar on the right side of his face. His left hand starting from the elbow is no longer human skin, but steel arm. His name is Tie Zhi. Although he is only a D-class ability user, his combative power is no worse than that of a C-class. In addition, his temperament suites Feng Leijie¡¯s taste so well that he became one of his confidants. Chen Jiahe suppressed the growing panic in her heart and tried to keep her body from shaking, as if she was dead. ¡°Although this woman has calculated us, and it seemed like we didn¡¯t get anything at all,¡± Tie Zhi¡¯s smile deepened, ¡°If we think more of it, we actually gained quite a lot from this trip.¡± All of a sudden, everyone in the car stopped paying attention to Chen Jiahe¡¯s dead body on the ground and focused more on Tie Zhi. Feng Leijie knew that Tie Zhi would not say such things for no reason, so he impatiently said, ¡°Don¡¯t fucking stall, just say it quickly.¡± ¡°Brother Jie, think about it, there are two high-level zombies. One is at level three while the other is at level four, if you get their crystal, there is a high possibility that you¡¯ll advance to A-class.¡± ¡°You fucking¡­ that¡¯s just nonsense!¡± How could Feng Leijie have not thought about it? However, when he think about the scene of them escaping under the threat of those two high-level zombies earlier, he couldn¡¯t wait to tear the woman on the ground into pieces just to vent his anger. ¡°Although that fourth-level zombie did not show up, the coercion alone is so powerful. I¡¯m afraid that it was already half-way through reaching the fifth level, and throwing all of you over will not be enough for it to fill its teeth.¡± Don¡¯t look at Feng Leijie¡¯s well-developed limbs, and his brainless image. In fact, he can build a small organization in the apocalypse and gather a group of people under his command. Apart from being ruthless and cruel, his brain is not filled with tofu. ¡°Besides, there are two high-level zombies, where the third-level one is still wandering around the area. Can you guarantee that there are no other high-level zombies and zombie beasts in that place?¡± He scolded gloomily. It¡¯s unbelievable that there are so many advanced zombies in such a small place. Could it be that there is something peculiar in that area that allows zombies and zombie beasts to evolve quickly? Advanced zombies and zombie beasts have their own territorial awareness. If a high-level zombie or a zombie beast appeared in an area, the others will not dare to come. Unless they¡¯re courting death. Tie Zhi said, ¡°No matter how powerful a zombie is, it is still a zombie, and you are an advanced B-class. If we find another advanced B-class ability user to cooperate and kill that fourth-level zombie, the success rate will be 90%. As for the third-level zombie, we could call all the brothers, and surround it to death. Even if another zombie beast appeared, as long as we move fast, we can run away without any problem.¡± He suppressed his voice and said, ¡°With the Level 4 crystal as a temptation, there will definitely be a lot of ability user who will want to cooperate. When the time comes, after we killed the level 4 zombie and get the crystal, we could immediately kill them in turn so that no one will grab the crystal with you.¡± Feng Leijie squinted his eyes, glanced at Tie Zhi, and cursed, ¡°You¡¯re a fucking B-class ability user. Treating them as cabbage as if you can kill them whenever you want?!.¡± It¡¯s normal to cooperate with other ability users to kill zombies just to get their crystal, and it¡¯s also normal to kill each other because of distribution problems. Tie Zhi confidently said, ¡°You shoud¡¯ve forgotten that Zhang Wenxi, whom we recruited recently can take other people¡¯s ability, albeit for a short period of time. Bring him along, and wait for you to kill the fourth-level zombie. Presumably, the others will be badly injured. At that time, let Zhang Wenxi sneak an attack. He won¡¯t steal the crystal, and it will be all yours.¡± The more Feng Leijie listened, the more his eyes light up. He instantly become more vigorous and the desire for violence caused by Chen Jiahe in his body dissipated. He patted Tie Zhi vigorously, ¡°Good boy, you deserve to be Lao Tzu¡¯s good brother, just do what you said.¡± Tie Zhi also laughed, and the scar on his right cheek moved. The depth of his eyes flashed, and he complimented, ¡°When you advance to A-class, your strength will increase greatly. It will be easier to find the little girl by then. ¡° After Feng Leijie and his party escaped, the zombie transformed Zhu Yuan did not chase too far. The tornado sucked all the things that could be sucked so when it has dissipated, those things slammed to the ground. When one of the iron buckets fell, it slammed straight on to him. Zhu Yuan looked at it without an expression and did not even avoid it. He let the iron bucket slam on top of his head with a bang, and then it fell to the ground, rolling¡­ It was quiet all around. Zombies have no self-awareness. But he instinctively felt a coercion against him, which came from a zombie which was higher than him. Silently expelling him, telling him to roll away. Why? You¡¯re also a zombie, even if you are one level higher than me. Why do you want to get rid of me? So unreasonable. Moreover, you can¡¯t even get out, so what are you doing there? The zombie suddenly stopped. He raised his head and looked around blankly, ignoring the coercion against him, wondering¡ª¡ª why did he think that the zombie who was only one level higher than him could not get out? ¡¾The crisis was resolved, and Bian Bian was temporarily safe. ¡¿ ¡¾Zhu Yuan is uncontrollable and he can easily hurt Bian Bian. Please choose in the following method to drive Zhu Yuan away. 1. Pay 10,000 star coins to get a golden finger function, which can shoot Zhu Yuan to the sky. The landing place will be random, which will never cause future troubles. 2. Pay 100 stars to get a broom, which Bian Bian can use to sweep Zhu Yuan away from this area. ¡¿ Nong Jiusi: ¡°¡­¡­¡± He stared at the second option long enough that the system thought he was going to hit it again. It didn¡¯t expect that Nong Jiusi would suddenly asked, ¡°After sweeping Zhu Yuan, can you summon him again next time?¡± The system seriously considered where Zhu Yuan would be randomly dropped. If he is flung too far, he cannot be summoned. Generally speaking, the probability of being able to summon is 0.9%. ¡°¡­¡­¡± Nong Jiusi paid 100 stars and chose the second option. It stands to reason that with Nong Jiusi¡¯s attitude of being not short of money, he should choose the first one. The system suddenly felt that Nong Jiusi was not any worse than Xiu Jin. Bian Bian finally gained freedom at this time-there was no longer a transparent wall blocking in front of her, so she ran to the window happily. Because there is invisible uncle, the little girl is not scared at all. Stepping up on a small stool, she propped her head cautiously. Except for the mess outside, the little girl didn¡¯t even saw a single soul. She didn¡¯t know what was going on, but just now, grandpa¡¯s voice sounded upstairs. She felt that grandpa scared away the uncles and aunts who wanted to take her away. However, there was a lot of noise out there before. If they was only scared by grandpa, they would not make such a loud noise. In addition, the mess outside was like this, it was like there had been a big battle. The little girl doesn¡¯t want to think about it, for she wouldn¡¯t go with the unfamiliar aunt and uncle anyway. She is still waiting for Uncle Zhu Yuan to come back and pick her up. Thinking of this just now, a clanging sound suddenly resounded from the quiet street, and then she saw a figure turning around. He is carrying an iron bucket, and is walking slowly with his body tilted to the side. The bottom of the iron bucket rattles as it occasionally hits the floor. The exposed skin was bluish gray covered with hideous and terrifying lines. His walking pace looked heavy and strange. It¡¯s a zombie, Whom she recognized at a glance. She quickly retracted her head to prevent the zombie from seeing her. ¡°Roaaarrr¡± the zombie upstairs roared suddenly. The zombie carrying the iron bucket downstairs stopped and roared as well in the direction upstairs, then he slammed the iron bucket to the ground by the way. In the background sound of the two zombies roaring at each other, what appeared in Bian Bian¡¯s mind was the clothes on the zombie downstairs, which was grandpa¡¯s. She remembered clearly. When Uncle Zhu Yuan left yesterday, he was wearing grandpa¡¯s clothes¡ª¡ªshe found a set of Lu Yu¡¯s clothes for Zhu Yuan, and she felt a little pain in her heart. She thinks that when Uncle Zhu Yuan wear a set of grandpa¡¯s clothes, his grandpa will be missing one¡ª¡ªthe little girl is not stingy, she is simply reluctant to part with her grandpa¡¯s clothes. ¡°How can that zombie wear grandpa¡¯s clothes which was given to Uncle Zhu Yuan?¡± She opened her eyes wide, looking at the empty living room, biting her little finger while muttering to herself. Nong Jiusi stood in front of her, watching the changes in the little girl¡¯s expression. After a pause, he squatted in front of Bian Bian. The little dumpling kept biting her little finger. Her beautiful, clear eyes gradually filled with panic and fear. It¡¯s as if she already knew something. So its the truth. When the tears fell from her eye sockets, and he heard Bian Bian¡¯s unrestrained cries in his ears, Nong Jiusi stretched out his fingers hesitantly, and lightly touched her face. Is it the game¡¯s ability to empathize? The little girl¡¯s sadness and cry made him feel an emotion that cannot be described in words. Nong Jiusi¡¯s eyebrows tightened, and he regretted his choice just now. He should¡¯ve flung Zhu Yuan far away, so that she wouldn¡¯t be able see him. However, if Zhu Yuan were thrown far away, the next time she encounter a dangerous situation, he would not be able to summon him back. This is why Nong Jiusi picked the second option. ¡°Uncle¡± Bian Bian felt him. At this time, a small broom that costs 100 stars appeared, and Nong Jiusi had to reach out and take it. ¡°¡­¡­¡± Bian Bian choked, looking at the small broom that suddenly appeared in front of her with tears in her eyes, contemplating whether to keep crying or ask her invisible uncle why did he gave her a broom¡­ CH 26 The two zombies eventually got tired from roaring. The one upstairs stopped first while the one downstairs also quieted down. Yes, the one upstairs won¡¯t come out, so he doesn¡¯t need to worry at all. Zhuan Yuan thought vaguely. I am so hungry. It¡¯s the kind that seeps into his bones, which made him desperately want to put something into his mouth to fill this terrifying hunger. The zombie wandered along the street with an iron bucket. He didn¡¯t even understand why he kept wandering here though. Is it because of the zombie that is a level higher than he is? If he eat that fellow, will he not be hungry? However, the opponent is still a level higher than he is, even if he figured it out, he can¡¯t eat him. He should wait first. He can vaguely feel that although that fellow is above a level than him, and the coercion is strong, he is now very weak. When he gets weaker, he can then rush to eat him so that he won¡¯t be hungry anymore. Before that, he must find other food to eat. The dazed zombie stepped on a newspaper, and the rustling sound made him stop. He then looked down. After a while, he put down the iron bucket he was carrying, and stooped to pick up the newspaper with difficulty. Even high-level zombies, when they are not fighting, are the same as any ordinary zombies. Their bodies are very stiff and their actions are slow. This is to preserve their stamina. God knows why zombies also have ¡°stamina¡±. It¡¯s probably instinct. He spread out the newspaper he had picked up and looked at it. Naturally, he didn¡¯t understand a thing. The word ¡°recognition¡± was no longer in the recesses of their memory. He didn¡¯t see any interest in it, so he put the newspaper in his mouth. Chewed it twice and swallowed. Unpalatable. Still hungry. He lift the iron bucket again. He didn¡¯t know why he was carrying this thing, just as he didn¡¯t know why he had to look up frequently at the third floor of the building. As if, there was something worthy of his attention. Although it is up there, he knows that someone of his kind that is a level higher than him was in it. Suddenly, a small head appeared from the third-floor window, and that small head fixedly looked at him. ¡°Uncle Zhu Yuan.¡± a soft voice floated out, rolling along with the wind, and when it fell into his ears, he could no longer hear what it was. However, what he heard is the sound of circulating blood. It also smelled delicious along with the flesh. These sound and smell squeezed all his instincts, telling him¡ªthe ¡°object¡± that emerged from upstairs could fill the burning hunger in his body. . Bian Bian saw the zombie rushing towards her, coming under the wall, and then hitting it constantly. There is Lu Yu in front and Zhu Yuan in the back. Bian Bian who is experiencing all this is stronger than expected. She was not afraid, just paddled her toes, lied under the window, and lowered her head as much as possible to look at Uncle Zhu Yuan who has turned into a zombie. Behind her, Nong Jiusi stretched out a finger to hook the little girl¡¯s collar to prevent her from accidentally falling. A while ago, Nong Jiusi was still thinking about how to get the little girl to sweep Zhu Yuan away with the broom¡ªbecause the system made it clear that the broom will only be effective in the hands of Bian Bian, she is the only one who can use it. However, he couldn¡¯t communicate with the little girl, so naturally he couldn¡¯t tell Bian Bian how to use the broom. On the other hand, Bian Bian suddenly heard a strange voice, the voice said: ¡°Bian Bian, I am your system dad. Uncle Zhu Yuan has been infected and turned into a zombie. He is very dangerous, you must use the broom to go down and sweep him away in this area, so that you will be safe.¡± Bian Bian: ? ? ? She looked around blankly, but found that her body suddenly couldn¡¯t move. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, I¡¯m your daddy system, I won¡¯t hurt you.¡± The strange voice turned gentle, relaxing the fear that suddenly surged into Bian Bian¡¯s heart. ¡°Daddy?¡± she murmured. The system gave a shameless ¡°En¡±. Bian Bian was even more confused. ¡°But¡­¡­ grandpa said that I didn¡¯t have a father, and that my parents threw me in a garbage can on the side of the road when I was born. Then, grandpa picked me up.¡± ¡°I am your father anyway.¡± After throwing that sentence, the system did not explain much, and only said, ¡°Bian Bian is the best baby, let¡¯s pick up the little broom, go out and sweep Uncle Zhu Yuan away.¡± Bian Bian¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up: ¡°I see. You are the invisible uncle, right?!¡± The system was silent for a while, and then said, ¡°No, I¡¯m just your daddy system; you can¡¯t tell those invisible uncles what I said to you, as well as my existence, okay?¡± Bian Bian didn¡¯t understand why, but she subconsciously nodded her head obediently and remembered this sentence firmly. The system stopped talking. As for Nong Jiusi, he still held the small broom, and the little girl was still crying in front of him. Consequently, when the broom appeared, Bian Bian¡¯s eyes widened. She looked at the broom with an expression of whether to continue crying or not. No abnormalities were found throughout the process. So while helping to wipe her tears, she eventually stopped crying and took the broom and examined it. He raised his eyebrows and subconsciously felt that something was wrong, and then his feeling of ¡°something was wrong¡± was replaced by ¡°this is a reaction set by the game.¡± Therefore, he naturally did not delve into it. Then, after carefully putting the small broom on the ground, she ran to the window and stepped on the stool. Nong Jiusi didn¡¯t stop her this time. Since Bian Bian already figured out what was going on, she just normally examined it. Not to mention that she had to use the broom to sweep Zhu Yuan away. Moreover, he is beside her. For the sake of safety, he stretched out his finger reluctantly and hooked the back collar of the little girl. Why did he do such boring actions? It made Lord Jiusi suddenly think for a long time, but he still did not stopped the movement of his hand. He stepped his toes on the small stool to prevent it from slipping backwards due to Bian Bian¡¯s movements. ¡°Uncle Zhu Yuan.¡± Bian Bian shouted again with a cry. The building trembled slightly under the zombie¡¯s persistent hitting. The zombie who was trapped upstairs seemed to feel something. He began to ram on the wall and roar, trying to use his own coercion to drive away the intruder downstairs who was courting death. Getting closer, the sound did not go with the wind anymore. When the second ¡°Uncle Zhu Yuan¡± came from Bian Bian, the zombie that was hitting the wall stopped moving and looked up at his food target. It lightly stings. Something fell on his face. He raised his hand tinged with blood on to his face. He didn¡¯t know that it was the tears of the little girl, but he strangely felt sad. However, his desire for food quickly overshadowed that sorrow. He opened his mouth to the little girl upstairs, revealing his teeth that mutated and transformed as sharp as that of a shark. Then he screamed bitterly. Fly up. You can eat it when you fly up. The wind gathered under him, propelling his body upwards. He rushed up just like a bullet. When he reached the window¨D Bian Bian did not expect that Uncle Zhu Yuan would suddenly flew up. She froze. The small broom floated next to her, and she immediately took it. System dad said in her mind¡ªthis broom can sweep Uncle Zhu Yuan away. If she sweeps hard, will it hurt Uncle Zhu Yuan? The one who took the small broom repeatedly hesitated. Finally, she took the broom and swept it lightly towards Zhu Yuan. Zhu Yuan¡¯s body froze abruptly, the wind that brought him up disappeared, and his body slammed down, making loud bangs. While looking at the broom, she quickly raise her head to look at Uncle Zhu Yuan. The zombie downstairs was stunned and didn¡¯t move for a long time. It took him a while to sit up with difficulty, looking left and right, his horrible face was blank, as if he didn¡¯t know why he fell. He looked up again to see Bian Bian, he immediately got up, began to gather wind and flew up again. Then, he was swept down once again by Bian Bian¡¯s broom. This action apparently continued¡­ Standing aside while watching Bian Bian sweep Zhu Yuan down for the sixtth time, Nong Jiusi suddenly couldn¡¯t stand it anymore. After falling down, it is estimated that there will be a few broken parts on the body-but he¡¯s still persevering and is still flying repeatedly. Therefore, when Bian Bian swept Zhu Yuan down for the seventh time, Nong Jiusi closed the window. ¡°Is it necessary to go down and sweep Uncle Zhu Yuan away?¡± Bian Bian has promised system dad, not to let the invisible uncle know that they are speaking to each other, so the smart little one did not addressed anyone. ¡°Yes.¡± She heard daddy system¡¯s voice. In response, Nong Jiusi raised the small broom and pointed towards the door. ¡°Uncle Zhu Yuan must be hungry.¡± She quickly filled a plastic bag with some instant noodles, bread and other food. She also stuffed two bottles of mineral water into it. Finally, carrying the plastic bag, Gray Gray the little bear, and also the small broom, Bian Bian opened the door and walked out. Nong Jiusi followed her with a visible smile across his eyes. ¡°Uncle, are you there?¡± Bian Bian have to sweep Zhu Yuan with the broom face to face in order to send him away. Even if she knew that it is Uncle Zhu Yuan, and that, there is nothing to be afraid of; Bian Bian is still subconsciously scared. It is an instinctive fear towards zombies. Nong Jiusi poked her in the face. Bian Bian felt it and thought, invisible uncle should be next to myself. She looked on both side, and based on what she felt on her cheek, she stretched out her hand to the right side. It felt empty. She didn¡¯t know that the moment she stretched out her hand, Nong Jiusi stepped back subconsciously, avoiding her little hand. Bian Bian who felt nothing, probe her hand on the left side. After hesitating, Nong Jiusi stretched his hand over this time, but what he didn¡¯t expect is that, his hand that was obviously over the little girl¡¯s hand, didn¡¯t touched and passed through instead. Nong Jiusi can touch Bian Bian through the NR device, although it seemed to be separated by a layer of film¨Dunable to feel temperature and any sensation. In addition, he had used his body before to block Bian Bian, and she touched him. Why can¡¯t he touch her this time? After thinking about it for a while, he tried to grab Bian Bian¡¯s hand. Hold it. ¡°Uncle!¡± Bian Bian turned her eyes to the left in surprise. It seems that only when he actively touches the little girl will he be able to hold her. Furthermore, without him being ¡°active¡±, Bian Bian cannot touch him either. Using his body to block Bian Bian, prevent her from going to the window, and poking her¨Call of which was his own initiative. She stretched out her hand to hold his, only to feel the empty air. This action was done on her initiative, so she wasn¡¯t able to hold him. Then, he stretched out his hand to hold Bian Bian; it was he who took the initiative, so he was able to hold her this time. It¡¯s probably because of the NR device. Knowing that invisible uncle is holding her, Bian Bian¡¯s fear disappeared. Soon, she took the small broom and walked to Zhu Yuan¡¯s side. Zhu Yuan, who had lost sight of his food target, was looking for the iron bucket he had left behind. ¡°Uncle Zhu Yuan.¡± Seeing Zhu Yuan, she called out subconsciously. The zombie, who had picked up the iron bucket, rushed over and stopped two meters away from Bian Bian. Seeing the broom in her hand with his cold bluish-gray eyes, he no longer dared to move. Looking at Zhu Yuan¡¯s appearance up close, tears streamed down on Bian Bian¡¯s face. She put the plastic bag that contains food on the ground and took a few steps back while holding the broom. The zombie tentatively took two more steps, not daring to move any further. Then, he looked down at the plastic bag under his feet and picked it up blankly. He squeezed and pinched, the instant noodle package was crushed by him. . In the end, he threw the plastic bag into the iron bucket. He raised his head again, still staring longingly at Bian Bian, a ho-ho threatening sound rumbled from his throat. Bian Bian immediately swept the small broom carefully towards Zhu Yuan¡¯s direction, and the zombie took two steps back. She swept again, and he continued to retreat. Nong Jiusi: ¡°¡­¡± Realizing the puny ability of the broom, he couldn¡¯t resist the twitching from corner of his mouth. Blinking her eyes, she belatedly understood what the daddy system said¡ªjust like sweeping garbage, Uncle Zhu Yuan will be swept away bit by bit. But, it¡¯s so wide in here, how long will it take to sweep Uncle Zhu Yuan away? It usually takes a long time to sweep the living room at home. Bian Bian was frightened by the horrible workload while holding the small broom. Her face were still wet with tears. She didn¡¯t know in which direction invisible uncle was. She just raised her face and said in a low voice, ¡°Uncle, can I not sweep Uncle Zhu Yuan away?¡± The workload of ¡°sweeping Zhu Yuan away¡± for the five-year-old Bian Bian was just too difficult. T.T CH 27 Bian Bian who was eagerly awaiting their response realized that neither system dad nor invisible uncle, care about herself. The little girl thought for a while and said something seriously: ¡°I already have this broom, as long as Uncle Zhu Yuan comes over, I can immediately sweep him so that he will not be able to get through. I will not be in danger and Uncle Zhu Yuan doesn¡¯t have to go.¡± The more she think about it, the more she felt better. ¡°When Uncle Zhu Yuan finishes eating those noodles, I can just give him again so he doesn¡¯t get hungry.¡± Nong Jiusi looked at Bian Bian through the corner of his eyes. She wanted to give both Luyu and Zhu Yuan some food however; she may not even know what her actions mean. For Bianbian, whether it is Lu Yu or Zhu Yuan, after becoming a zombie, they are still her grandfather and uncle. Grandpa and uncle was hungry, so she brought them food, as she should. Of course, she knows that zombies can eat people, but she also believed that the reason why zombies eat people is that, they¡¯re just too hungry. Nong Jiusi asked the system for a solution. System: ¡¾What you pay is what you get. If you choose a broom that costs 100-star, you will receive a 100-star service. This broom can sweep Zhu Yuan away from this area, which is just worth the price. ¡¿ It sounds like the system is complaining about why he didn¡¯t spend 10,000 stars to choose the ¡°Golden Finger¡± function. ¡°Is this broom¡¯s ¡®sweeping away¡¯ function effective on any zombie?¡± ¡¾Attention! Don¡¯t expect a 100-star priced item to last for a long time. It will only be effective to Zhu Yuan within three hours. Once the time limit is over, it will be no different from a normal broomstick. ¡¿ ¡°Why didn¡¯t you say that before?!¡± The system thought, I didn¡¯t know it before, so naturally I didn¡¯t say anything. Nong Jiusi asked again, ¡°The broom is considered a weapon. Since it¡¯s not available on the market, why can I buy it through your given option?¡± System: ¡­ Because I like it! It¡¯s hard enough to make a payment channel that deviates from the original rules. However, Jiusi chose the broom. If you change it to the stupidly rich Xiu Jin, he will definitely choose the ¡°Golden Finger¡± function, without giving him a chance to say anything at all. ¨D¨DThe system still thinks that Nong Jiusi is such a miser. Right, although the dragons are rich and imposing, they are inherently stingy. Seeing that the system continued to remain silent, Nong Jiusi asked again: ¡°Or, they are actually available in the market, but I couldn¡¯t buy them because I don¡¯t have intimacy points?¡± The system decided not to say anything. It would be wrong to say more. If the dragon noticed something, it would be bad. Nong Jiusi frowned. He looked at the zombie who no longer dared to come over because of the broom, but were too greedy to leave. The effect of the broom only lasts for three hours. If they haven¡¯t swept Zhu Yuan away from this area within three hours, once the effect of the broom disappears, he hopes that Zhu Yuan will not be completely uncontrollable. ¨D¨DJust now, Zhu Yuan rushed to Bian Bian, unreconciled not to eat people in his mouth. Except for the basic laser gun, the column for weapons is all gray. The laser gun was so heavy that she can¡¯t even carry it, let alone firing. That¡¯s it¡­ Nong Jiusi narrowed his eyes and walked towards Zhu Yuan¡¯s direction. ¡°¡­¡± If the system has a face, it is estimated that it will entirely turned green at this moment. It pops up a bold giant screen: ¡¾ Just beat me! You can¡¯t fight Zhu Yuan! The system will crash when it becomes disordered again. It will repeatedly crash in a short period of time, when the system cannot be maintained, it will lead to unpredictable consequences. In a severe case, if the game data collapsed, the game is over! ¡¿ For fear of not being enough, the system still pop up a red line: ¡¾Stop! ! ! ¡¿ Nong Jiusi stopped. After considering it for a moment, he retracted his gaze that fell on the zombie¡¯s iron bucket, turned around and prepared to lead Bian Bian inside. But the moment he turned around, the image in front of him suddenly disappeared. He is now standing in his bright bedroom, and he automatically quit the game. ¡°¡­¡± Is it offline again? Nong Jiusi subconsciously logged in again. After a few seconds, a line appeared: ¡¾The network is not good, the login failed. Please try again later. ¡¿ He clicked twice in a row and it was still this reminder. There wasn¡¯t any change in Nang Jiusi¡¯s expression, but a piece of the floor under his feet cracked silently. Then, he stopped thinking of logging into the game again, and looked for something else to divert his attention. While holding the small broom, Bian Bian waited for daddy system or invisible uncle¡¯s response. However, after waiting for a while, not only did she not hear system dad¡¯s voice, she also didn¡¯t see anything floating around. ¡°Uncle, are you still there?¡± It was Zhu Yuan who responded to her. He¡¯s still staring at Bian Bian, emitting a low ¡°hoho¡± from his mouth, as if he would find an opportunity to rush over any time soon. She pursed her lips and realized that her invisible uncle was gone. While clutching the little bear, she held the small broom tightly, her clear eyes similar to that of a deer is looking at Zhu Yuan, telling herself not to be afraid. ¡°Dad system, are you there?¡± she shouted again. Uncle was gone, so she could now call dad system who was previously talking to her quietly. The system dad also did not made any sound. He should have left, just like invisible uncle. Her bright eyes dimmed instantly. ¡°Uncle Zhu Yuan, I¡¯m going back first.¡± After standing for a while, the little girl started to go back after saying this to the iron bucket zombie. Of course, Bian Bian didn¡¯t turn around and immediately run while holding the broom. Instead, she used the small broom and began to sweep while walking. The iron bucket zombie shuttled back and forth. Its limbs were stiff, and it was carrying an iron bucket. It looked funny as it jumped up. But there is an obvious safe distance between him and Bian Bian. The next two hours were calm. While staying at home, she suddenly heard the familiar voice of dad system: ¡°Bian Bian, the broom that can sweep Uncle Zhu Yuan away has a time limit. It could only last for three hours. After three hours, the broom will be just like any ordinary broom. Uncle Zhu Yuan is already uncontrollable, so you should shut the windows tightly while not letting uncle Zhu Yuan see what you¡¯re doing, or else he will fly up to hurt you. ¡° After listening to this passage, Bian Bian did not completely understand. She want to talk to dad system for a while, but after he finished talking, the system did not speak anymore. No matter how she shouted, there was no response. Except for the normal conversation with other people that took place when Zhu Yuan was there, she usually speaks only to the little bear. Although there is invisible uncle, who helped her a lot and treated her well, but he can¡¯t talk to her, so in Bian Bian¡¯s mind, the system dad who talked to her was a different existence¡ªeven if he just came out. Fortunately, the system dad¡¯s words seemed to be engraved in her mind. Even though she didn¡¯t understand what the time limit is, she could still understand the last sentence¡ª So she closed the window tightly, pulled the metal curtains, and turned on the magic ball. When she is hungry, she cooks noodles or eats bread and drinks milk powder. She also plays in the room at other times. She always has her own way to pass the time. Sometimes, she would suddenly shout, ¡°Are you here, Uncle?¡± ¡°Are you there, Dad System?¡± ¡­ If she doesn¡¯t get a response, she will talk to the little bear, ¡°I wonder if Uncle Zhu Yuan has finished his noodles.¡± She can actually give food to Zhu Yuan just like how she stuffs food through the hole in the metal wall for grandpa. However, she is mindful of the system¡¯s instruction so she did not open the window to see if Zhu Yuan was still outside. She end up worrying that Uncle Zhu Yuan wouldn¡¯t have something to eat. Sometimes, she would hear familiar roars but she couldn¡¯t tell whether it was Grandpa or Uncle Zhu Yuan. The little girl listened for a while, and exclaimed: ¡°It would be nice if Uncle Zhu Yuan lived with Grandpa.¡± In this way, it would be much more convenient for her to give Uncle Zhu Yuan some food. ¡­ Nong Jiusi has important things to deal with in the past two days, so he had no time to log into the game. Consequently, Xiu Jin adhered to what he said that before he got his hands on an NR device, he would refrain from logging into the game. He spent a hundred thousand star coins to the black market boss just to get the buyer¡¯s transaction time and place on that planet. Therefore, he immediately sent Korff off to Planet Gurley to investigate the buyer. Fortunately, Korff¡¯s ability to do business was passable, and only it took him a day and a half to find him. ¡°Who is it?¡± Xiu Jin, who was sitting in the company office starring at Korff who was projected in front of him, stood up instantly. After signing a bunch of documents, his head was dizzy. But because of the good news, his spirits became much more relaxed. However, when he saw Korff¡¯s expression, Xiu Jin sighed in his heart. After staying with Xiu Jin for a long time, knowing that the next words will probably cause Xiu Jin to become furious, Korff smiled slightly and tried to say tactfully: ¡°His Royal Highness, you happen to have heard his name.¡± Xiu Jin: ¡°¡­¡± Under normal circumstances, when Korff showed this kind of expression, it means that things are hopeless. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me.¡± He made a pause gesture and took a deep breath, ¡°Let me take it slow.¡± A minute later, Xiu Jin sat back on his chair and took a sip from the coffee next to him. His baby face condensed as he expressionlessly said: ¡°Go ahead, who.¡± Korff slowly uttered a name. ¡°¡­Damn!¡± Xiu Jin gritted his teeth, ¡°Why is it him!¡± The Empire State Coalition has a celebrity list, whom the people of the empire voted for the celebrities they thought that are worthy to be included. Regardless whether they are nobles or common people, as long as they are vocal, they can make it on the list. The names on the list are not fixed and it changes every day. As the richest prince in the royal family, Xiu Jin is also one of the celebrities that often appears on that list. The Empire¡¯s citizens can vote and comment on the Internet. Most of the comments Xiu Jin receives are positive whereas if there are any unfavorable reviews, he will stealthily delete it behind-the-scenes. Almost all the famous nobles in the empire have been on the ranking list, but not too often. For example, Nong Jiusi appeared only once but he found himself being voted and commented on. Lord Jiusi almost tore down the list. Of course, the behind-the-scene staffs did not dare to put his name again. ¡­ There is a person¡¯s name on this list that appears frequently¡ªmore frequently than Xiu Jin, and even ranks first in most cases. It¡¯s not because he has money, neither how good-looking he is, nor how high his status is. He is just an ordinary human civilian without any noble title. He is famous because of his antics. That person likes to kidnap people who offended him, and then he will broadcast them through the star network¡ªsetting up various agencies in the live broadcast room, so that countless people will see those people that offended him. Moreover, the people he kidnapped were not only high-ranking officials but also nobles, with different identities. After getting out of trouble, those people desperately tried to catch him. However, all failed without exception. Even if guards surrounded him, he can still escape right under their noses. As if by magic. So far, he is still active on the Celebrity Billboard. No one knows his name, only knowing not to offend him. If you offend others, you can still probably die happily, but if you offend him¡­ Haha. This celebrity has a resounding code name¡ªMagician. CH 28 Luo Yesheng has always been lucky. Perhaps because his family believed in Buddhism before the end of the world that even if he did not awakened his power in the early days, he still survived after the apocalypse. Although, his family gradually left him in the process. However, he always felt that the luck of the whole family was transferred to him because when he was nearly eaten by a zombie beast, he miraculously awakened the fire ability. After all, if you are truly able to awaken an ability, it should have happened much earlier. The sooner the ability awakens, the greater the potential will be, and the power will be much stronger. Especially those people that awakened their abilities during the first year of the apocalypse¡ªall of them survived and has now become top notch. However, Luo Yesheng was not only a C-class ability user, for he also awakened a special ability. When each user awakens their ability, there is a 1 in 10,000 chance that there will also a special ability. In addition, combining their main abilities with their special abilities will greatly enhance their power. However, there is also a drawback, that is, the special ability of an ability user can be robbed¡ªkill the ability user that has special ability, and his special ability will be transformed into one¡¯s own. So those with special abilities must not only guard against zombies, but also their same kind. After Luo Yesheng realized this, he made sure to hide the fact that he has a special ability, for he was betrayed before¡ªa friend wanted to kill him to get his special ability. Therefore, for many years, he did not live a fixed life at the base and instead acted like a ¡°scattered man¡± who lives alone outside. He practiced diligently and he slowly advance to the upper level of B class. Not as good as the top powers, but as long as he is careful, he can live safely. Now, he has stayed at B class for too long. No matter how many crystals he absorbs, he still cannot break through, let alone advance to A class. He needs to be stimulated through dangerous battles. Only when they are enlightened at the edge of life and death, can they advance. He began to look for third-level zombies or zombie beasts. When he finds a suitable target, he will fight, and if he can¡¯t, he will just try to escape. However, after so long, there was still no sign of breaking through. After much thought, he felt that the level of danger is still lower for him. If he really have to fight until the brink of life and death, maybe those of level four is much appropriate. But like high-level ability users, high-level zombies are equally difficult to find, Luo Yesheng doesn¡¯t know where to find a target. That¡¯s when he saw a handwritten ¡°Request for Cooperation¡± on a wall. The written information was very clear. They had found two high-level zombies, one at level 4 and the other at level 3. Now they are asking a B class ability user to cooperate. As for the distribution, they will divide the crystals after killing the zombies and they will discuss further details when they meet. Attached below is a string of addresses. Luo Yesheng¡¯s heart pounded, he was worried about not knowing where to find fourth-level zombies and he happened to see this news. Wouldn¡¯t it be that he had now found it without wearing out his iron shoes[1]? He immediately tore off the paper notice asking for cooperation and rushed to the mentioned address¡ªa gas station. People from the Flying Dragon organization temporarily encircled the place as a supply ground. There is a hotel next to the gas station. Feng Leijie resides in one of the luxurious suites. He was walking around impatiently. Suddenly, he hit the table with his fist: ¡°It¡¯s been two days, and no ability user has come. Tiezhi, What do you say, in case the two zombies are gone¡­¡± Tie Zhi didn¡¯t care about Feng Leijie¡¯s irritability at all as if he had been used to it. He comforted: ¡°Didn¡¯t you send someone to stare at that third-level zombie? It was still there, and the fourth-level one has not come out of the community.¡± ¡°But there is no guarantee that they will stay there.¡± Feng Leijie pulled his hair and threw the ones that fall off on the ground angrily. He thought someone would come to his door soon, but he didn¡¯t expect that no one has come in the past two days. There is a woman in the room dressed in skimpy clothes. She has a fair complexion and a charming appearance. It can be seen that she has been living well in the apocalypse. She has a soft voice: ¡°Brother Jie, why not put the news on the base? As soon as it is posted on the base, there will be a lot of ability users that will be coming to cooperate with us.¡± ¡°Idiot.¡± Feng Leijie turned around and cursed, his eyes glanced over the woman¡¯s seductive body without the slightest fluctuation, ¡°If the base knows that there is a level 4 zombie here, would I still have my fucking share?¡± The woman¡¯s eyes burst into tears after she was scolded. Feng Leijie become annoyed when he saw it, he yelled: ¡°Get out!¡± The woman shrunk and tactfully withdrew from the room. As soon as she reached the door, her face full of sadness, timidity, and fear returned normal. Passing by a low-level ability user, the woman asked: ¡°Where is the woman that Jie caught back?¡± This ability user¡¯s eyes lingered on the woman¡¯s smooth skin, his eyes were bright as he licked his lips and said, ¡°Sister Shui, well¡­Jie said that the woman lied to him and ruined his good deeds, so he had to teach her a lesson¡­¡± An Shuirou smiled softly at him: ¡°I just wanted to take a look, Jie hasn¡¯t played enough yet, if you kill her and Jie gets angry¡­¡± She didn¡¯t finish her words. ¡°She¡¯s not going to die, my brothers are well-measured.¡± The man explained, and said a room number, ¡°It¡¯s 203.¡± An Shuirou turned and left. The man couldn¡¯t hold back, touched her waist and waited for someone to leave. He put his hand in front of his nose and smelled it intoxicatedly. Then he snorted, and cursed fiercely in his heart. Fuck. Feng Leijie is a damn pervert who doesn¡¯t like women and only likes young girls. However, he also wants to put a woman as delicate as a flower beside him, saying that as long as they serve them well, they will be given a reward. It¡¯s been so long but he still haven¡¯t touched them. An Shuirou came to room 203. When the door opened, a man came out carrying his trouser belt. He looked dumbfounded when he saw An Shuirou. ¡°Brother Jie asked me to see the woman inside.¡± An Shuirou said. The man swallowed and stared at An Shuirou like a viper. Compared to the woman inside, this one is better. But because of Feng Leijie, he didn¡¯t dare to do anything, so he just said a few words and left. An Shuirou walked into the dim room. The woman on the bed is unclothed, her limbs are tied tightly on the corner of the bed, and there wasn¡¯t a good piece left in her exposed skin. It was Chen Jiahe, who was captured by Feng Leijie two days ago. Chen Jiahe tried her best to escape. She even made up a reason that she can predict the future. She has read the full story and she knows the major events that will transpire. However, the book she had read was based on the perspective of the male protagonist, and now, the male protagonist is still an ordinary person in the base. The plot has not yet fully developed. Even if she knows the ¡°future¡±, she needs time to prove it, but she¡¯s now running out of time. After Feng Leijie was deceived once, he no longer believes in Chen Jiahe at all. No matter how much she said, Feng Leijie thought she was just making excuses in order to escape. Chen Jiahe never expected this result. She couldn¡¯t figure out why these people didn¡¯t believe what she said? Why the protagonists of the novels she read had travelled through the past and became prosperous, and yet she has to suffer such torture. She obviously transmigrated into this book and knew everything. She is the protagonist. Doesn¡¯t the protagonist have the protagonist¡¯s halo? What about her protagonist¡¯s halo? Two days of torture caused the woman on the bed to lose weight at a speed visible to the naked eye. Chen Jiahe trembled reflexively when she heard footsteps coming to the room again. She intermittently said in a hoarse voice: ¡°I said¡­I am a transmigrator¡­I know everything that will happen in the future¡­Believe me¡­Let me go¡­¡± Looking at the delirious woman on the bed, An Shuirou¡¯s expression did not change at all, as if what she saw is a common occurrence. After a while, she said: ¡°Compared with other people, you should be thankful that you are only tied up here, and your limbs are still intact.¡± Chen Jiahe¡¯s confused mind became sober; she turned her dead eyes, and stared at the pretty woman in front of her. ¡°You¡­ who are¡­?¡± An Shuirou stretched out her hand, and a small stream of water flowed out from her fingertips. She poured the water into Chen Jiahe¡¯s cracked and festered mouth, with a gentle voice: ¡°You said you have transmigrated, and this world is just a book?¡± Clear water slid into the esophagus, moisturizing her parched stomach. Chen Jiahe stared at her blankly: ¡°Are you also a water system?¡± An Shuirou retracted her hand and smiled. Chen Jiahe¡¯s heart is full of resentment and anger. She is also a water system, but she was tied here and tortured, while the woman in front of her lives as she pleased. Such a sharp contrast made her eyes burst out with real resentment and hatred. An Shuirou: ¡°¡­¡± She did not ignore the resentment, and frowned. She soon stretched out again, and said lightly: ¡°If you want to get rid of the current situation, tell me honestly what you know, maybe I can help you out.¡± An Shenrou threw out a temptation that Chen Jiahe could not refuse. Luo Yesheng drove to the gas station, and an ability user immediately jumped out. He knew at a glance that the ability user is a D class. Luo Yesheng raised the torn paper: ¡°I¡¯m here to cooperate.¡± The little brother¡¯s eyelids jumped. A low-level ability user faced a high-level ability user, and even psychological resistance was difficult to raise. He hurriedly picked up the walkie-talkie: ¡°Brother Wang, someone with an ability is here, he is very strong!¡± After a while, the little brother said to Luo Yesheng: ¡°Our boss invites you over.¡± Luo Yesheng was not that stupid. He sat in the front of his car, and said slowly: ¡°The address written on the notice is here. I have come with such sincerity. Shouldn¡¯t your boss also show his sincerity? He had heard that those high-level ability users have bad tempers, the little brother is afraid that this person will get angry and chop himself off, so without any better option, he had to speak once again to the walkie-talkie After receiving the news, Feng Leijie¡¯s face darkened. He said gloomily: ¡°Good. Such big air, demanding Laozi[2] to find him.¡± Tie Zhi said next to him: ¡°Brother Jie, this ability user looks arrogant, but no matter how arrogant he is, it is useless. We are just using him. You don¡¯t need to be angry.¡± Feng Leijie looked better. Tie Zhi said again: ¡°Furthermore, he dared to be arrogant, maybe he is really capable. Wouldn¡¯t we have a higher chance of success against that fourth-level zombie?¡± Feng Leijie: ¡°You are right, go, go and see.¡± Tie Zhi: ¡°If it goes well, we can do it tonight. The fourth-level crystal is yours.¡± When he thinks of the fourth-level crystal, Feng Leijie¡¯s aura becomes much thicker, and his displeasure disappeared completely. When Luo Yesheng and Feng Leijie met in a community more than ten kilometers away, the iron bucket zombie pulled off a lamppost and sat on it. The iron bucket is placed next to him, making a clanging sound, as if something is running inside. After a while, the zombie stretched out his hand into the iron bucket, took out a pack of instant noodles, and gnawed it together with the packaging bag. After taking a couple of bites, there was no taste, then, he stuffed the remaining ones into his arms and reached into the iron bucket again. Then, he took out a normal mouse. The clanging sound from the bucket just now was the sound of the mouse running around trying to escape. ¡°Squeaky!!¡± The dangling mouse screamed as if knowing the fate he was about to face. The zombie¡¯s gloomy and cold eyes stared at it, but he did not move for a long time, as if he was hesitant to eat it. At this time, the closed windows on the third floor suddenly made a creaking sound¡ªthe windows opened. The zombie who heard the sound suddenly raised his head. Threw the instant noodles and the mouse into the iron bucket again, and tilted his head. The environment that once again fell silent caused him to lose his objective and made him confused. Third floor. Having just finished making herself a bottle of milk, Bian Bian who was about to drink, look at the window that suddenly opened. She unconsciously bit the bottles teat. With a hint of surprise and restlessness, Bian Bian¡¯s voice was very small: ¡°Uncle, are you here?¡± Just as she finished the words, the drawing paper and paintbrush on the mat floated, and a few black words appeared¡ª ¡°I¡¯m your father.¡± The drawing paper floated in front of Bian Bian, and the words on it showed a cold and dark taste. But Bian Bian didn¡¯t notice it at all, she just bit the bottle¡¯s teat again blankly, with a shy face: ¡°I, I can¡¯t read.¡± References CH 29 On a barren, hot yellow sand, a man laid in black clothes. His face was pale, even his lips were bloodless like a terminally ill patient. It is difficult to judge his actual age. His face looked young, but his eyes were as dark as the mysterious black hole, dead still like an abyss, and cold as dusk. He laid on the yellow sand carelessly, with a mask before his eyes. If Xiu Jin was here, he would find that this eye mask was the NR virtual device he worked so hard to find, but this device was obviously modified into ¡°glasses¡±. The original NR device looks like a small radio, with bright colors. Especially when it is working, the surface emits a dreamlike starlight¡ªthis is what attracts Nong Jiusi. Now, it somehow turned into ¡°glasses¡± and is worn on the face of the young man called ¡°magician¡± by many people. Even the method of use seems to have changed. There is nothing but himself, and the sky full of wind-blown sand. There is no projection, but in fact, he¡¯s playing a game. The magician bought the NR device to make a new equipment. After he succeeded, he tried it. The moment he put it on, he ¡°saw¡± a game icon with the appearance of a little girl. The magician¡¯s eyebrow raised in doubt. It is rare for him to be puzzled, so he clicked on the icon with a bit of caution. Then, a long introduction appeared, which made him understand that this is just an apocalyptic child raising game. The child to be raise is a five-year-old girl named Bian Bian. Her grandfather Lu Yu became a zombie, leaving her alone to live in the apocalypse. When he enters the game, he will be bound to Bian Bian. Become Bian Bian¡¯s dad, assume the responsibilities of a father, and raise her. ¡¾Please actively raise Bian Bian to prevent any danger that may arise around her.¡¿The system popped up a prompt. The magician swept through this unnecessary sentence, and then prepared to quit the game. Perceiving his intention, the system quickly tried to stop it: ¡¾Such a cute baby girl, really don¡¯t think about it? ¡¿ An enlarged cute photo of Bian Bian appears. ¡¾Playing games can relax your mind, and you can raise a caring little padded jacket through the game without losing money! ¡¿ The magician let out a cold ¡°hum¡±, and this actually made the system feel an indescribable danger. He seemed to be more difficult to deal with than Nong Jiusi. This man is gloomy, not like a person who can be a good father. Letting him protect and raise Bian Bian in the game, is like putting a wolf in a flock of sheep. Nevertheless, the rules choose the magician. Even if he doesn¡¯t want to, as a system, it can only be executed according to the rules. The system silently changed its tactics. At least, let the magician take a little interest in the game. ¡¾Aren¡¯t you bored right now? Just meet Bian Bian, and get along with her for a while. You will know how cute she is. Anyway, you have a lot of time, and¡­¡¿ The following words disappeared under the sudden sound of alarm. It didn¡¯t know why the alarm went off, but it somehow understood. Fortunately, it didn¡¯t say the next words, otherwise uncontrollable things would happen. The system don¡¯t know which sentence poked the magician. The latter¡¯s expressionless face suddenly had waves. He said: ¡°How to play?¡± System: ¡¾Play as you please, protect Bian Bian and let her feel the warmth of a father¡¯s love.¡¿ The magician stood in the living room, staring at the little girl sitting on the floor mat. His eyes were dark. The little girl didn¡¯t even noticed that someone had appeared. She just stopped painting when she became tired. Her little belly rumbled, and then she sighed. Get up and go to the kitchen to boil water to prepare milk for herself. Upon seeing this, the magician glanced around and paused for a moment on the magic ball. He seemed to feel that this thing looked familiar, but after thinking about it for a long time, he didn¡¯t remember where he had seen it. He walked around the room, and finally opened the window in boredom. System: ¡¾Don¡¯t¨C¡¿ It¡¯s too late. The window has been opened. The magician didn¡¯t care at all and turned around. Bian Bian, who is holding the bottle and is about to drink milk, noticed the open window and stared foolishly. Then she showed a strange expression, her mouth opened and closed. A speaker icon popped up above her head. The magician stretched out his hand, even his fingers were pale, and then lightly pressed on the speaker icon. The soft and timid child sounded: ¡°Uncle, are you here?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that I have a father-daughter relationship with her?¡± The ¡®Uncle¡¯ title made the magician frown uncomfortably and his face became particularly ugly. He coldly questioned the system. System: ¡­ ¡¾Bian Bian didn¡¯t know, you are just bound to each other, but you can remind her of your identity.¡¿ Even if it¡¯s just a game, since it belongs to him, the characters in the game naturally belonged to him too. To verify the ¡®father-daughter¡¯ relationship, the magician immediately picked up the paintbrush and drawing paper and directly expressed his identity to Bian Bian. However, what he didn¡¯t expect was that, she could not read. It was as if a punch had landed on a cotton in an instant, full of powerlessness. The magician tore the paper a few times and threw it into the trashcan. ¡°Uncle, are you, are you angry?¡± This action made Bian Bian instinctively feel uneasy, as if she felt the unpleasantness of the person who wrote it, and she became cautious in speaking. ¡°You don¡¯t have the qualification to make me angry.¡± He said, and Bian Bian naturally couldn¡¯t hear it, but the system heard it clearly and knew that the magician was speaking to it. The roar of a zombie sounded downstairs. There is a constant frown on the magician. This sound was really unpleasant. Suddenly¡ª ¡°Uncle Zhu Yuan.¡± The little girl¡¯s body shook slightly and she shouted with an uncontrollable trembling voice. A zombie flew into the window, with his hands clinging to the sides of the window, crawling inwards. His cold and gloomy eyes stared at Bian Bian. The magician turned his head and came face to face with the zombie, nearly exchanging an affectionate gaze. He didn¡¯t move. The zombie froze, as if sensing some kind of danger. Bian Bian ran towards the kitchen while holding the baby bottle, because it was the closest to her. But before she could ran, Zhu Yuan came in. No, it was not that Uncle Zhu Yuan crawled in quickly, but¡­ little Bian Bian¡¯s footsteps stopped unknowingly. Her gaze fell on Zhu Yuan. Uncle Zhu Yuan seems to have been dragged down and he suddenly fell heavily on the floor. She raised her hand and rubbed her eyes. The zombie that fell to the ground struggled to get up, but he couldn¡¯t move. It was as if something heavy is pressing against his back and he couldn¡¯t turn over. While watching for a while, Bian Bian boldly ran over, hugged the little bear on the floor in her arms, and then retreated to safety. Her action shows the importance of the little bear to her. The corner of the magician¡¯s lips twitched. Looking down at the zombie under his feet, the magician¡¯s eyes were cold. He immediately wanted to throw it out of the window, but he noticed the worried gaze falling on the zombie. The ¡°throwing¡± motion stopped. Then he pressed Zhu Yuan¡¯s hand behind his back, in a typical arresting-prisoner posture. When she saw Uncle Zhu Yuan¡¯s hand ¡°swish¡± behind his back, she knew that her invisible uncle did it. The little girl who understood the severity of the situation ran to Luyu¡¯s room, took out a belt from the cabinet, and ran back. She tentatively approached the immobile zombie, and passed the belt over: ¡°Uncle, use this to tie Uncle Zhu Yuan.¡± The magician glanced at her, took it, and tied the zombies¡¯ hands to a slipknot. The more the zombie struggles, the tighter the knot becomes. At the same time, he pushed the legs of the zombie towards his back, and tied the other end of the belt with the same knot. The zombie struggled hard to no avail, and he can¡¯t even gather wind. He became a fish on the chopping board. Bian Bian ran back to the closet again, took a big coat from Grandpa, and put it on to Zhu Yuan¡¯s head. She explained her actions to the invisible uncle: ¡°If Uncle Zhu Yuan can¡¯t see me, he will be quiet.¡± Sure enough, the zombie who couldn¡¯t break free and was covered by the coat, gradually quieted down. His sense of hearing and smell was affected, so his unwilling roars and coercion eventually stopped. The magician kicked him to the corner with a bang. Bian Bian shrank her body, and squeezed her ruddy little mouth. As if she wanted to say something, but swallowed it back. Today, invisible uncle seems to be in a bad mood. Could it be that my uncle is not happy because I can¡¯t read? Bian Bian was a little worried in her heart. She couldn¡¯t see where her uncle was standing now, so she had to stand still obediently. After a while, she couldn¡¯t help but look at Zhu Yuan¡¯s current posture. I don¡¯t know if Uncle Zhu Yuan would feel uncomfortable when he was tied up like this¡­ Thinking about it this way, the little girl suddenly laid on her stomach. Raised her little hand, stopped to turn her back and raised her hand again. She lifted her legs, and then her eyes lit up. Because she found that she could easily hold her raised feet, and it was not uncomfortable at all. ¡°This way you can keep Uncle Zhu Yuan tied up.¡± The little girl who had personally tried Zhu Yuan¡¯s tied posture was happy, her eyes bent into crescents, ¡°Uncle Zhu Yuan won¡¯t be uncomfortable either.¡± ¡ªShe don¡¯t know what flexibility is at all. . . Looking at the immobile zombie, and then at the little girl who is seriously trying the tied posture, the magician smiled slightly, and the corners of his mouth rose. The expressionless face seemed to be alive at this moment. Without waiting for the magician to make other reactions, the image in front of him suddenly disappeared, and a few large characters appeared: ¡¾You are offline.¡¿ ¡°¡­¡­¡± At the same time, Xiu Jin, who hadn¡¯t seen his baby daughter for a few days, did not hold back his heart¡¯s desire after all. He clicked on his computer to log in to the game and went online¡ª ¡¾Intimacy value +150. ¡¿ ¡¾Why did you log in to the game at this time!¡¿ The two system prompts left Xiu Jin dumbfounded¨Che thought, there was a bug in the system. CH 30 Xiu Jin skipped the prompt for the increase of intimacy points, and instead focused on the second one. He was particularly unhappy: ¡°I am playing my own game, yet you decide when I get to go online? Are you sick?!¡± After cursing, Xiu Jin went to see the baby daughter he haven¡¯t seen for a few days. Seeing that the cub is perfectly fine, holding the milk bottle while drinking milk in the living room, immediately gave birth to the boss¡¯ comfort. Now, there are so many intimacy points¡­ Enter the market; click on the food column, and sure enough, as the intimacy points rises, another column of unlocked icons light up. [Cheese Butter Bread] [Wonderful Mixed Nuts] [Refined Snow Pork] [Bobo Sweet Taro Milk Tea] The four newly unlocked food seems to be more appetizing, and Xiu Jin didn¡¯t even bother to look at the price. Except for the organic milk powder, he bought everything else. In an instant, seven items piled up on top of the empty dining table. Red apple, magic jumping sausage, organic mineral water, cheese butter bread¡­ They are placed together on the table, which gave a tremendous shock to Bian Bian. Ignoring the system prompts to reset the intimacy points back to zero, Xiu Jin waited expectantly for the reaction of his darling daughter. The first thing Bian Bian smelled was the tempting scent of milk. She stared blankly at the cheese butter bread on the table¡ªit¡¯s about the size of her head, the surface was golden yellow while the sides and the middle were inlaid with rich cream cheese bits, sprinkled with colorful chocolate powder on top. Bian Bian had never eaten this kind of cake, her eyes instantly stuck on the bread, and she even couldn¡¯t move it away. The little girl subconsciously approached the dining table. As she was about to climb up the chair, Xiu Jin, who had been paying attention to the screen, noticed the little baby¡¯s eager look towards the bread. With an unconscious silly father¡¯s smile on his face¡ªhe knew that his precious would like the bread. He swipe the screen while pressing the bread, and it instantly moved near Bian Bian. Bian Bian finally came back to her senses. She didn¡¯t even think about where the food came from. She just looked at the bread and felt like she was dreaming. However, she never dreamed of such beautiful bread. Because it was so good-looking and fragrant, Bian Bian was afraid to take it for a while, so Xiu Jin frowned in distress, and hurriedly move the bread once again in front of her. Finally, she raised her hand to take the bread, her eyes lit up little by little. Like the brightest star in the night sky, she said loudly: ¡°Thank you Uncle!¡± ¡°Hurry up and eat.¡± Xiu Dad urged, even if she couldn¡¯t hear it. Bian Bian have eaten bread before, but this kind of bread is like those freshly baked bread that she had only seen on a picture book. All the instant food she ate were out of date. In this case, even if it¡¯s expired food, as long as the taste does not change, she can eat it. She don¡¯t know why. Although five years have passed since the end of the world and all the food has expired, most of them can still be eaten long after the expiration date. Unless it¡¯s completely moldy. Therefore, some bags of bread at Jinxin Supermarket can still be eaten as long as they do not deteriorate. However, compared with the taste of the cheese butter bread in front of her, it can be described as heaven and earth. Even if Bian Bian has never eaten luxury food since she was born, she can still draw such contrast by her sight and smell alone. Gently taking a bite of the bread, the little girl narrowed her eyes in happiness. Soon, her cheeks bulged. Her bulging face was stained with cream, and she became a little tabby cat. ¡°Eat slowly, don¡¯t choke.¡± Xiu Jin once again moved to bring the milk tea with the straw in front of Bian Bian. The little girl looked curiously, and then she bowed her head and took a big sip. This is the first cup of milk tea in Bian Bian¡¯s life. With a marveled expression on her face, her mouth moved, biting the ¡°pearls¡± that came out. She naturally didn¡¯t know that it was a pearl. Nevertheless, biting it to her teeth brings fragrance that just relieves the greasiness of the cream, and when combined together, forms a new delicacy. Xiu Jin was very happy to feed her. If it wasn¡¯t inconvenient, he would also like to feed the dried snow pork and mixed nuts to his precious daughter. System: ¡¾Don¡¯t feed too much! Bian Bian¡¯s body can¡¯t absorb too much energy. She can¡¯t bear it!¡¿ Xiu Jin was taken aback, and then he saw his precious daughter on the screen pushing away the milk tea. Although her eyes were full of reluctance, she touched her belly, which was already bulging. The bread was not finished, and there is still half of it left. She climbed into a chair and put the rest of the bread away. Seeing the rich and delicious food on the table, she suddenly remembered something and raised her little face: ¡°Uncle, can I share them with Grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan?¡± It doesn¡¯t matter to Xiu Jin whom his precious daughter shares her food with. He was just about to respond using the milk tea, but suddenly realized that Zhu Yuan was mentioned in her words. Didn¡¯t Zhu Yuan leave? At this time, Xiu Jin, who only have his baby daughter in his eyes, finally saw a discordant shadow in the corner. He swiped the screen and zoomed it in. ¡°¡­¡± Could it be, Zhu Yuan, whose hands and feet were tied behind, his head covered with a coat, and his body stiff and shaking? Bian Bian gave him the answer. Taking the invisible uncle¡¯s silence as consent, she looked at the food on the table one by one, and finally chose the magic jumping sausage. She took the magic jumping sausage and slid down the chair, ran towards the zombie, and took off the coat covering the zombie¡¯s head. ¡°Uncle Zhu Yuan.¡± A sudden roar reverberated inside the room. Perhaps knowing that there is invisible uncle, she was surprisingly courageous and was not afraid at all. Xiu Jin¡¯s beating heart thumped quietly¡ªin the blink of an eye, the little treasure carried the jumping sausage and raised it towards Zhu Yuan. From the screen, they seemed to be covered together. If he swallowed her in one bite, where would he go to raise another one that looked exactly the same! Although he wanted to stop it, it was too late. Xiu Jin panicked and almost pinched Bian Bian away. Just when his fingers were about to touch Bian Bian, the zombie suddenly calmed down and did not make any attack. Xiu Jin: ¡°?¡± Bian Bian moved away, Xiu Jin saw the jumping sausage in her baby daughter¡¯s hand entered Zhu Yuan¡¯s mouth. ¡°That can¡¯t be eaten!¡± Seeing Zhu Yuan swallowed the magic jumping sausage without chewing, and even ate the bamboo sticks together. Bian Bian hurriedly stretched out her little hand to grab the tail of the bamboo stick. Pointy things will get stuck in the throat. ¡ªLu Yu once caught a fish from a river and Bian Bian got a fishbone stuck on her throat. The feeling is still fresh in my memory. A mere jumping sausage is like a mosquito leg to the zombie. However, not knowing whether the jumping sausage has slightly filled his bloodthirstiness, or because of his unwillingness to let go of the bamboo stick that made him distracted, caused the zombie who had eaten the sausage suddenly became quiet. The zombie insisted on swallowing the bamboo stick into his stomach. But, Bian Bian did not allow him to swallow them, and the two sides formed a weird tug-of-war. Afterwards, the zombie stared straight at Bian Bian. He opened his mouth, threateningly exposing his fine sharp teeth, and then bit hard, breaking the bamboo stick. Bian Bian just sat with her butt to the ground. The zombie gulped and swallowed the bamboo stick, but halfway through, it got stuck. After a few seconds, the zombie roared, shaking and smashing his head. When he found it was useless, he began to struggle violently. Soon, the belt was stretched into a line, making a faint sound. Bian Bian was shocked, she then ran to the kitchen to get a bottle of vinegar and ran out¡ªshe remembered that grandpa made her drink vinegar when a fishbone stuck on to her throat. However, looking at Uncle Zhu Yuan¡¯s sharp teeth, Bian Bian helplessly hugged the vinegar bottle tightly, not knowing what to do. Xiu Jin: ¡°Zombies also get hurt?¡± System: ¡¾It doesn¡¯t matter whether they feel pain or not, the belt is about to break! Hurry up and think of a way!¡¿ Xiu Jin suddenly understood, and didn¡¯t bother to scold the trashy system for letting the zombie harm his precious daughter. He slid the vinegar bottle over from Bian Bian¡¯s hand and poured it directly into the zombie¡¯s open mouth. Worried that the vinegar was not enough, he grabbed the big apple on the table by the way, found the right timing, and stuffed it in together. The zombie suddenly calmed down. The system said a few reminders, and ultimately disappeared without saying anything. Only Bian Bian attentively stared at Uncle Zhu Yuan¡¯s neck. She saw his neck bulged, and then the bulge slowly slid down until it was gone completely. The little face that had become white from tension suddenly burst into joy. Waving the remaining half of the bamboo stick in her hand, she said happily: ¡°Uncle Zhu Yuan swallowed it, it¡¯s okay now.¡± The zombie did not roar any more, but he almost thrashed his neck twice. Seemingly, a bit depressed. ¡°Thank you uncle!¡± ¡¾Intimacy points +20. ¡¿ Xiu Jin was about to fly in an instant[1]. ¡¾Don¡¯t float yet! A group of ability user rushed over to hunt Lu Yu and Zhu Yuan, and they are expected to arrive in 20 minutes. ¡¿ Xiu Jin¡¯s first reaction: ¡°This game also has instance dungeon[2]? Selecting Lu Yu and Zhu Yuan as bosses[3]?¡± Bian Bian raised her little face, bit her fingers, and looked around. She seemed to hear the voice of system dad¡ª¡± ¡­I must¡¯ve chosen him to be the first one only after I got my brain got pumped. [4])¡± References CH 31 Three cars are moving forward at a uniform speed tens of kilometers away. Approaching evening, the dark red sun hung low in the sky as the remnant glow still scorched the ground. Amidst the roar of the cars, the view reflects blurred shadows due to the high temperature. Luo Yesheng unscrewed a mineral water and drank such large bottle in one breath. After putting it away, he squinted to look at the car ahead. In order to ensure the success of the operation, almost all the members of the Flying dragon came out. They were bound to take down those two high-level zombies. Recalling the earlier conversation with Feng Leijie, Luo Yesheng¡¯s mouth raised into a cold arc, his thoughts turning back to an hour ago. Feng Leijie is very enthusiastic. He already called him brother the moment they meet, full of sincerity. Then it was decided that after killing that fourth-level zombie, the crystal obtained would be Luo Yesheng¡¯s¡ªif it happened to be his attribute. Otherwise, it will become Feng Leijie¡¯s. If it¡¯s still not both of them, they will decide who will the crystal ultimately belongs to by means of lottery. The scar-faced man next to Feng Leijie proposed this, and such childish way seems very reasonable coming from his mouth. Luo Yesheng didn¡¯t say anything, and nodded in response. The two sides reached a cooperation agreement. They immediately went on the road after some discussion. Looking up from the rearview mirror, a truck was following behind him. Feng Leijie sat on that truck. When he set off, he invited Luo Yesheng to go with him, but Luo Yesheng refused. Luo Yesheng insisted on driving his own car. Feng Leijie didn¡¯t say anything, but arranged for Luo Yesheng to be in the second spot, on the grounds that he didn¡¯t know the address. It seems for his sake, however, there are people from the Flying dragon both in front and back. In case they suddenly attacks and outflanks him, the geographical location is definitely not good. Logically, Luo Yesheng should refuse, but he unexpectedly obeyed Feng Leijie¡¯s arrangement without any hesitation, as if he believes this ¡°collaborator¡± very much. Or maybe he¡¯s just confident in his own strength and is not even afraid of the Flying dragons. This behavior of Luo Yesheng made Feng Leijie become more polite to him. ¡­ Retracting his gaze, Luo Fusheng turned the steering wheel lightly, avoiding a prismatic stone pillar.[1] The young man who got into the truck with Feng Leijie when he set off flashed in his mind. He was obviously a low-level ability user with almost no combat effectiveness. What would Feng Leijie take him to do? Luo Yesheng tapped his fingers on the steering wheel, his eyes looking thoughtful. He had encountered many situations of villains doing evil on another villain.[2] Since he dared to agree to Feng Leijie¡¯s cooperation, he was naturally not afraid of these people. Clicking on the speaker of the car, a hit DJ song wrapped in hot air floated into the ears of everyone in the truck. ¡°Brother Jie, Luo Yesheng doesn¡¯t seem to be nervous at all.¡± Zhang Wenxi who is sitting on the truck asked incredulously. ¡°He¡¯s so ostentatious, isn¡¯t he afraid of zombies?¡± Feng Leijie looked ugly. It is unknown what he was thinking. After a while, he picked up a walkie-talkie¡ªBefore they depart, Feng Leijie gave Luo Yesheng a walkie-talkie. ¡°Brother Luo, although there are no zombies around, but it¡¯s better to turn off your music. We are here to kill zombies, not to travel.¡± He suppressed the anger in his heart, if it is not necessary to join hands with Luo Yesheng just to deal with the fourth-level zombie¡­ ¡°Sorry Captain Feng, thinking of the next battle, I was a little excited. One didn¡¯t control the music and turned it on. I¡¯ll turn it off.¡± The music disappeared abruptly, but Feng Leijie¡¯s face was even more ugly. ¡°Brother Jie, we have Wenxi.¡± Tie Zhi said timely and patted Zhang Wenxi on the shoulder, whose body trembled. Feng Leijie didn¡¯t notice. Thinking of Zhang Wenxi¡¯s special abilities, his ugly expression slowly improved. It seemed that he was already holding a level four crystal, and Luo Yesheng¡¯s corpse was lying under his feet. Bear with it for a while. Xiu Jin first thought of the instance dungeon however, it was actually excusable. After all, a group of ability users was hunting down two zombies, just like the dungeon spawning monsters in an online game. Through the system¡¯s explanation, he realized that this is the so-called ¡°needed plot.¡± Xiu Jin: ¡°¡­¡± Okay, he doesn¡¯t bother to complain. ¡°How should I drive those people away?¡± The system slowly emerge after a while: ¡¾The only way is to release Lu Yu and Zhu Yuan.¡¿ Xiu Jin: ¡°Can they beat those groups of people?¡± System: ¡¾It¡¯s Difficult. ¡¿ Xiu Jin: ¡°Then letting them go out, won¡¯t they die in vain? That¡¯s not okay.¡± The precious daughter will cry into tears. The system is very irritable, it has no authority to force Xiu Jin to go offline and switch to another dad and go online. Even if it asks Xiu Jin to go offline now¡ªlet¡¯s not say whether he will obediently go offline¡ªeven if he does, the other two may not log in to the game at this time. It also doesn¡¯t have permission to let them log in. Besides, with Xiu Jin¡¯s temperament, if it let him go offline, he will definitely break the casserole and ask till the end. Furthermore, there is no game system that actively takes players offline. Xiu Jin is not an idiot at all, in case he finds something is wrong¡­ The system¡¯s head turned bald. Thousands of calculations were made, but it did not expect Xiu Jin to log into the game and squeezed the magician down. Xiu Jin is the number one player, with absolute ¡°online¡± rights, which means¡ªonce he is online, no matter who logged in at that time, Xiu Jin will forced others to go offline. Xiu Jin unreasonably said: ¡°Then open the weapon¡¯s column, can¡¯t I spend money to buy weapons?¡± System: ¡¾No!¡¿ ¡°Wait.¡± Xiu Jin thought of something, ¡°I remember you said in the previous introduction that high-level zombies can summon low-level ones, right?¡± The system didn¡¯t say anything. ¡°Release Lu Yu and Zhu Yuan, and let them summon low-level zombies. A group of zombies against a group of ability users, I want to see who¡¯s more powerful.¡± Bian Bian didn¡¯t know what happened. She was not sure if she heard dad system¡¯s voice just now, but at this moment, she was sure she heard it¡ª ¡°¡­it must be because I was so mad that I didn¡¯t expect this. It was definitely not because of No.1¡¯s reminder.¡± Bian Bian was at a loss. She wanted to call, but she remembered that the system dad had told her not to expose him in front of uncle. The little girl had to hang her head in doubt, and simply whispered quietly to the bear. Facing the option of ¡¾whether to release Lu Yu¡¿, Xiu Jin did not hesitate to click ¡¾Yes¡¿, and then he slid the knife on the screen and moved it towards the belt that bound Zhu Yuan¡¯s hands and feet behind. After sliding a few times, the belt was cut open. When Zhu Yuan regained his freedom and turned over as he wanted to get up, Xiu Jin, who had been prepared a long time ago, pushed him hard towards the window. Then, Zhu Yuan flew out of the window. . . Shaking his slightly sour fingers, Xiu Jin was very satisfied with the result¡ªhe was worried beforehand that he would not be able to get him out, but it was because of Xiu Jin¡¯s fast speed, plus the position of the fruit knife at that time, which was a blind spot for Bian Bian. When Zhu Yuan was thrown out, there was a loud bang, and as soon as Bian Bian heard the sound, she turned her head and looked at the corner. Only to find that Uncle Zhu Yuan is gone. The little girl didn¡¯t realized that Xiu Jin did this. She ran to the window subconsciously, and her feet suddenly swayed, as if there is a strong earthquake. Her footing becomes unsteady. Fortunately, before the small body fell to the ground, Xiu Jin, who had quick eyes and hands, caught her. ¡°Roar!!!¡± A deafening roar came from upstairs. Bian Bian had never heard grandpa make such a loud noise before. The tremor of the building was unprecedentedly intense, just like a sailboat that encountered a storm in the sea, which could be overturned by the waves at any time. Bian Bian¡¯s face turned white in fear as she stumbled towards the door. She was going to see what was wrong with Grandpa. However, she couldn¡¯t move, because Xiu Jin held her. ¡°Uncle, let me go, I¡¯m going to see Grandpa.¡± She have seen this many times. Bian Bian can also distinguish the situation, knowing that the invisible uncle stopped her. She struggled, but because of her exertion, the white and tender bun wrinkled into a ball. Her big grape-like eyes were filled with tears of fear because of eagerness and worry. Xiu Jin tried his best to ignore the soft cries from his baby daughter. You can¡¯t feel soft when you¡¯re a father. Lu Yu is a zombie. If you let your precious daughter run out and face Lu Yu¡­ ¡¾Intimacy points -50¡¿ A few cold words interrupted the thoughts in Xiu Jin¡¯s mind. He was hit so hard that he went to look at Bian Bian aggrievedly, but the little girl was more aggrieved than he was. The golden beads of tears finally fell, and she cried: ¡°I, I don¡¯t like you anymore¡­ woo¡­ I want grandpa¡­¡± Xiu Jin saw a bubble popping out of her head, showing a scene of an old man lying motionless. Just like an ignited flame, Xiu Jin came to understand that the darling daughter thought something had happened to Lu Yu, so she was anxious and afraid. At this time¡ª The roar of the zombie suddenly disappeared, the building stopped shaking, and everything became exceptionally quiet. After half a minute, there was a bang. It seemed that something fell down the corridor, followed by heavy footsteps. From far, gradually getting closer, it seemed that something was slowly walking from upstairs to downstairs. Bian Bian also stopped struggling, with tears hanging from her long eyelashes, and looked at the door. ¡°Hohhhhhhh.¡± In the next second, a dumb, non-human voice rang outside the door, followed by a knock. ¡°Grandpa, it¡¯s grandpa!¡± Wiping away her tears, her pale little face regained its ruddiness. She said in a low voice, ¡°It turns out that Grandpa is fine.¡± She moved her body and found that she still could not move. The little girl pursed her rosy little mouth, and moved her two little hands around, but she could not touch anything. I don¡¯t know where invisible uncle is. ¡¾Intimacy points -5+5-5+5-5¡­¡¿ Xiu Jin: ¡°¡­?¡± He forced himself to ignore the prompt, and turned to look at the door. After looking at it, he suddenly realized that something was wrong¡ªthe four corners of the door shrank inward at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it instantly became smaller. ¡­ Lu Yu is melting the metal on the door, and he¡¯s about to come in! References CH 32 Obviously, Bian Bian is also aware of this. She held the bear¡¯s hand tighter and instinctively took two steps back. ¡°Grandpa.¡± She yelled in a low voice, her eyes shifting from the shrinking door to the table, where the remaining half of the cheese cream cake was placed, and the air was always filled with a faint scent of milk. What she thought at this time was that Grandpa would like this bread. Grandpa has bad teeth, and soft bread is suitable for grandpa. The little girl was a little embarrassed, because previously she could give Zhu Yuan the cake, but she ultimately chose the magic jumping sausage to feed him. Before Bian Bian finish thinking about it, the metal gate fell down with a thud. Lu Yu used to replace the original wooden door with a metal door and merged it to the wall. It was originally to strengthen the house, but now it¡¯s just become convenient for him to ¡°open the door¡±. The moment the door fell, Bian Bian¡¯s body rose into the air¡ªXiu Jin held her close to the ceiling. What he can do now is to control his baby daughter and prevent Lu Yu from touching her. Bian Bian seemed to know that her invisible uncle is helping her, so she didn¡¯t struggle. She just looked like a fluttering feather floating on the ceiling. As long as the zombie who came in didn¡¯t look up, he wouldn¡¯t find her. ¨DIn order to reduce Bian Bian¡¯s presence, Xiu Jin operated with both hands and folded Bian Bian¡¯s legs. Bian Bian quietly watched grandpa walk in through the metal door. She could not read, but Lu Yu had taught her to count. She doesn¡¯t know what day grandpa left, but since that day, she counted quietly. That is her secret to Gray Gray.[1] Therefore, Bian Bian remembers clearly that fifty-five days had passed since the day Grandpa left. Through the hole in the metal wall, she couldn¡¯t see what her grandpa had become. Now, she can finally see it clearly. Xiu Jin looked at Lu Yu while holding Bian Bian to make sure she didn¡¯t fall off. He was a little surprised at what he saw. The zombie transformed Lu Yu was tall, with gray hair and a pair of spectacles trembling on his gray face, which one of the lenses was already broken. To Xiu Jin¡¯s surprise, although the zombie old man looked tall, he was as thin as a piece of paper. His exposed arms were covered with terrifying dark lines, but it was all skin and bones, and he couldn¡¯t see any existing ¡°muscles¡± at all. This zombie is so thin that he is almost out of shape. ¡°How could this be?¡± He couldn¡¯t help asking. Zombies as thin as this were rare. Although Xiu Jin had never seen other zombies except Zhu Yuan, seeing Old Man Lu, he was a little bit stunned. The system quickly replied to him: ¡¾What do zombies eat? ¡¿ Xiu Jin then understood. Based on the previous introduction, after Lu Yu become infected with the virus, in order to prevent himself from harming Bian Bian, and also to protect her in another way, he sealed himself on the third floor above. Nevertheless, Zombies also need to eat. The food for zombies is fresh flesh and blood, and only fresh flesh and blood can replenish their energy. Lu Yu was sealed on the third floor above and he hadn¡¯t eaten at all for so long. So how could he replenish his energy? Therefore, he naturally lost weight. The human food that Bian Bian gave him was almost useless. In other words, although zombies can eat human food, it will not supplement the energy that they needed. It is a miracle that Lu Yu has not ¡°starved to death¡± for so long. The zombie old man move into the living room in slow motion, turned his head stiffly and looked around. During the entire course of action, he could hear clicking sound coming from the bones on his body, just like rusty screws. He didn¡¯t noticed the ¡°floating¡± Bian Bian above his head, and instead walked his inflexible legs over to the table. Stared at the remaining cheese bread for a while, then picked it up and swallowed it in a few mouthfuls. If you ignore his gray skin, stiff body, and pale eyes, judging from his movements, he looks like a normal old man, but he¡¯s just a little slower. Even though he was a bit rude when eating the cake, and his mouth was covered with white cream after eating, but compared to the image of Zhu Yuan exposing his sharp teeth when eating the jumping sausage, the zombie old man¡¯s movements are extremely elegant. After eating the cake, he turned his gaze to the unopened dried snow pork, staring straight at the packaging bag. As if, he could smell the meat inside through it. He stretched his hand over. Xiu Jin freed a hand and removed the dried pork without hesitation. This is what he bought for Bian Bian, and the baby girl hasn¡¯t eaten it yet. Bian Bian watched Lu Yu earnestly. She opened her mouth but there was no sound, except that her eyes were already full of tears. Of course, she knew that grandpa was not so thin before. Grandpa became so thin because she gave too little food. She wanted to talk to grandpa. However, her instinct was preventing her from talking to grandpa, causing her to not know what to do. So she could only watch slowly. But why did grandpa suddenly come out? She was extremely at a loss. Xiu Jin noticed that another white bubble appeared next to the baby girl¡¯s head. Inside was a ball of tangled threads, indicating the baby daughter¡¯s mood at the moment, making Xiu Jin think of a certain emoticon package. ¡°Why is the baby¡¯s mood wasn¡¯t displayed before?¡± Xiu Jin¡¯s heart trembled at Bian Bian¡¯s chaotic ball of thread above her head. He didn¡¯t mind if he didn¡¯t get a response from the system, and simply took a screenshot as quickly as possible. I can¡¯t let go of the cute moments of my darling little treasure! The old zombie who didn¡¯t get the dried snow meat did not insist on eating it, and it happened that the sound from the zombie downstairs diverted his attention away from the food. He walked to the window, putting his head outside, he happened to see the zombie downstairs. The zombie old man grinned, and then a threatening roar was heard. The zombie downstairs suddenly ran for a few meters, then stopped again, and turned to stare at the old zombie vigilantly. A difference of one level is not enough to make him completely surrender. Just when the two zombies stared at each other, where one did not run and the other did not go down, formed some kind of strange confrontation. Suddenly, the two zombies seemed to feel something at the same time. Each withdrew their gaze and looked towards the southwest direction¡ª Moments Later, the zombie old man propped up the window rails, turned over and jumped down. ¡°Grandpa!¡± Bian Bian couldn¡¯t help it, Xiu Jin timely moved her towards the window. He was also a little curious about what Lu Yu was going to do when he jumped off the building. Although the zombie old man was as thin as a bamboo pole and his limbs were more rigid, as a high-level zombie halfway through the fifth level, he still easily landed downstairs, forcing Zhu Yuan to retreat again farther. However, for some reason, the third-level zombie did not leave, but instead occupied the other side and surrounded the southwest together with the old zombie. Then, the old zombie let out a low roar, and the third-level zombie on the opposite side quickly covered his ears to block the old zombie¡¯s voice. While stepping on a stool, Bian Bian carefully looked down nervously. She didn¡¯t know how grandpa came out, but she was afraid of a fight happening between grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan. At the same time¡ª Xiu Jin once again saw a white bubble emerging from her baby daughter¡¯s head. There was a scene flashing inside, Zhu Yuan rushed to Lu Yu and bit him. Obviously, in Bian Bian¡¯s heart, grandpa couldn¡¯t beat Uncle Zhu Yuan. Then a young man wearing black clothes with scars on his face and a blindfold on his left eye appeared. He waved his fist and beat Zhu Yuan down for two or three days. Xiu Jin stared at the white bubble revealing the scene. To be precise, he was staring at the one-eyed scar-faced man in black, with the corners of his mouth twitching wildly. ¡ªThe one-eyed scar-faced man with explosive combat power in the baby¡¯s mind, shouldn¡¯t it be him? ? ? References CH 33 ¡°It¡¯s strange, why we didn¡¯t saw any zombies on the road?¡± In the moving convoy, a member of the Flying dragon in the leading vehicle seemed to have noticed something wrong. It was just an ordinary first-level zombie beast. Its sudden appearance startled the driver of the leading vehicle who suddenly saw it. So he subconsciously stepped on the brakes. Amidst Feng Leijie¡¯s scolding of ¡°useless things¡±, the two zombie beasts that appeared were knocked out by a burst of abilities¨Dfalling to the ground without a sound. When he flattered, he also praised Luo Yesheng without leaving a trace. ¡°If we continue to delay on the road, our time will be a bit tight.¡± Tie Zhi¡¯s analysis made Feng Leijie¡¯s face turn from cloudy to sunny, and he quickly recovered. ¡°Brother Luo, Tiezhi is right. Even if a group of zombies come over from the prison, it is no big deal. They are all ordinary zombies.¡± He thought Luo Yesheng wanted to retreat, half-comforting and half-threatening, ¡°I have so many brothers under me. I¡¯m afraid that a few ordinary zombies will join hands to kill that level 4 zombie as quickly as possible. In the end, you don¡¯t want to go home empty-handed, do you?¡± Luo Yesheng, while paying attention to the two high-level zombies in front of him, turned his body sideways, and looked back at the corner of his eye. This glance made his beating heart suddenly stop for a moment. In the street where they just came, countless zombies in prison clothes densely rushed in. In other words, zombies were surrounding them. References CH 34 No one thought about why the zombies from the prison had come so quickly. Feng Leijie was the first to launch an attack. Snowflakes like goose feathers was fluttering in the sky for some period of time. Zombies will hibernate in winter. Under cold temperatures, the actions of zombies will be affected accordingly. Even those high-level ones. Sure enough, the speed of the two high-level zombies was immediately affected. ¡°Separate them¡± Feng Leijie¡¯s strength is indeed strong. As soon as his voice fell, his people were already close to the zombies. A thick ice wall separated the two zombies, and instead of avoiding the tornado blade of the third-level zombie, they attacked the fourth-level one. By separating the two zombies¡¯ cooperation, it¡¯s much easier to solve them one-on-one. Luo Yesheng understood what Feng Leijie meant. While the rest of the Flying dragon was defending against the approaching zombies, Feng Leijie¡¯s frozen skill wrapped the third-level zombie, and then threw it at Tie Zhi and the others. ¡°Lead it over there¡± Feng Leijie yelled at Luo Yesheng. When he attacked, the fourth-level zombie is not idle. His gun made of metal seemed to have infinite bullets, spraying madly at Feng Leijie and Luo Yesheng. Anyone with a brain knows that they can¡¯t be hit. What¡¯s worse is, when Luo Yesheng tried to melt the metal bullet with his fire ability, he found that even under the scorching high-temperature, the bullet not only met but instead, directly exploded. What kind of bullets were shot here? They¡¯re clearly bombs, one after another. However, Luo Yesheng and Feng Leijie are both top-notch B class after all. They were a little embarrassed at first, but they soon found a gap to counterattack. A sharp ice cone penetrated the shoulders of the fourth-level zombie, bringing out a lot of bluish-black blood. Taking this opportunity, Luo Yesheng roared and hit the fourth-level zombie from a tricky angle. The latter was blasted out and hit the ground heavily. The powerful force caused the ground to crack and gravel to splatter. In a daze, Luo Yesheng heard a thin panicked voice, which soon disappeared. As fast as if, it was only his hallucinations. Is there any other living person here? There was no time for him to think about it. He cooperated with Feng Leijie to guide the level 4 zombie to another empty street. Now this street is full of zombies, and the remaining members of the Flying dragon have worked hard to attack the third-level zombie, as well as the ordinary zombies that keep rushing over. A variety of abilities has emerged one after another. The terrain is too narrow and there are too many zombies. The harm is greater for them than the advantage. Besides, they had already agreed to divide the labor before they set off. The goal of the two is the fourth-level zombie. However, contrary to their expectation¡ªthe fourth level zombie did not take the bait. Zombies devours blood, so the level four zombie should take the initiative to attack them. Obviously, the zombie already regarded them as food, and this food is about to run away. Why didn¡¯t he continue to follow? This is not consistent to the basic needs of zombies. Or, this fourth-level zombie has realized that they are leading it away, so it does not fall into the trap. Then, this fourth-level zombie already has self-awareness because of evolution. The two looked at each other. Feng Leijie wiped his face that was cut by the thin metal. A pair of sunken, small fat eyes shone fiercely. ¡°Since it didn¡¯t took the bait, we will end him here Brother Luo.¡± For some reason, Luo Yesheng didn¡¯t immediately respond to Feng Leijie. He just let out a deep sigh, and looked up at the level four zombie. Judging from his body shape, he should be an old man, or a powerful metal ability user. Otherwise, he would not become a strong zombie after being infected. The more an ability user becomes a zombie after being infected, the easier it is to advance to become a high-level zombie, as they retain their ability before their death. Therefore, high-level zombies are as difficult to deal with as high-level ability users. Sometimes at the same level, zombies are more difficult to deal with than those ability users. And this is the strongest among all the zombies that Luo Yesheng has encountered. Feng Leijie on the other side was obviously launching a big attack. Suddenly, when he was about to take a step, his feet slipped and he fell directly to the ground. The fall was extremely severe, and Feng Leijie, a strong ability user, was stunned for a while. When he raised his head, two red marks slipped from his nasal tube. Since the temperature was low, it instantly froze into ice sticks and hung under his nose. The appearance is uncontrollably, a bit more funny. This incident shocked Luo Yesheng. His hand movement slowed down. While avoiding the metal bullets, he approached Feng Leijie and said, ¡°Captain Feng, are you¡­¡± Feng Leijie¡¯s face is so ugly that he couldn¡¯t even care about the fourth-level zombie that was staring at him from a distance. He slowly stood up. His glistening small eyes looked around, as ice cones kept popping up from the ground. ¡°Someone attacked me.¡± He gritted his teeth and said something that made Luo Yesheng¡¯s scalp a little numb. Without rhyme or reason, one of his legs was out of control, and he fell directly to the ground. As if there is an invisible person who was standing by his side, and kicked him violently. However, besides Luo Yesheng, there was no one else around him. When he noticed Feng Leijie¡¯s gaze, Luo Yesheng¡¯s expression became cold. ¡°Captain Feng, if I want to attack you, it won¡¯t be at this moment.¡± As the two talked, the fourth-level zombie rushed over, Luo Yesheng dodged embarrassedly because he was distracted. However, just as he turned sideways, a strange force hit the bend of his leg. He was caught off guard, and he knelt straight down. When his knees touched the ground, the level 4 zombie¡¯s thin deadly metal was rushing towards his throat. Luo Yesheng¡¯s pupils shrank to the size of a needle tip. He roared. His right hand turned into a fireball, meeting the flickering thin metal that shone with cold light. With a bang, the fourth-level zombie flew upside down. Luo Yesheng was not much better. The thin metal exploded in front of his eyes. If he hadn¡¯t activated his special ability at the last moment, his head would¡¯ve been removed from his belly and neck. Because of this, Luo Yesheng gradually retreated drenched, with a hole in his chest, and blood gurgling out. ¡°You¡± Feng Leijie looked at Luo Yesheng, who had become a bloody man. Stunned, the fat on his face stiffened together. Luo Yesheng¡¯s face was pale. He took a breath and looked around like a falcon, saying, ¡°I was also attacked.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not me,¡± Feng Leijie subconsciously said. Luo Yesheng turned back and killed the ordinary zombie that had come alone. This mere action affected the wounds on his body, causing him to tremble in pain. Who the hell is it? In this chaotic battle, he and Feng Leijie was accurately sneaked attack. Why did the other party sneak up on him at this time? If he wanted to rob the crystal, shouldn¡¯t he wait until they are about to kill the fourth level zombie before doing it? He hides in the dark to carry out sneak attacks, so his strength is definitely not strong. What made him even more confused was how the other party silently sneaked into them and actually succeeded, CH 35 At this moment, the person who attacked was very dissatisfied while shaking his somewhat stiff fingers. What Xiu Jin actually wanted to do was not to attack, but to throw people towards Luyu. However, no matter how he previously move the people on the screen, he just couldn¡¯t move them. He could only watch the zombie Lu Yu and Zhu Yuan being beaten to the ground. Fortunately, after his tireless sliding, he finally succeeded in causing the ability users who attacked the two zombies to fall down at a critical moment. Which gave Lu Yu convenience. After listening to the discussion between the two people about the sneak attack, Xiu Jin laughed up to the sky. Consequently, all the smart butlers were beckoned for fear that the Seventh Prince would react abnormally. Fortunately, except for the exaggerated smile, everything else is normal. Just that¡ª ¡°Your Highness, the evening banquet is about to begin, you should set off, otherwise you will be late.¡± The smart housekeeper dutifully called back the master who was addicted to the game. ¡°Wait.¡± Without looking back, Xiu Jin tightly locked his eyes on the screen, which showed a panoramic view of the street. Not long ago, Xiu Jin was still thinking about how he could help when the two sides start fighting. The baby daughter must stay upstairs and be hidden. However, without Bian Bian¡¯s viewing angle, the screen will not show the image of the street. He has to see the street through Bian Bian¡¯s perspective before he can wait for an opportunity to help. But how could he put his darling daughter in a dangerous situation? If she put her head out of the window and happened to be seen by the enemy, it would be dangerous. As a result, his thought just flashed, and a message suddenly popped up on the screen: ¡¾Switch to Street View? ¡¿ Wait¡ª ¡°So the view can be changed. Why wasn¡¯t it the case before?¡± Xiu Jin found out the important point. The system did not want to explain, and ultimately said: ¡¾It was just unlocked.¡¿ It took a lot of its effort to blurt it out. So Xiu Jin temporarily abandoned his precious daughter, and switched from the living room scene to the street scene, and started to help the two zombies in a different way. The only regret is that, if only the weapon¡¯s column is not gray, he can also buy weapons for the two zombies. No, this doesn¡¯t feel right. It¡¯s obviously a game to raise a baby daughter, how can there be the illusion of raising two zombies together? Xiu Jin was immersed in the game with his thoughts. He saw that Luo Yesheng had almost lost his combat effectiveness. However, there was still a Feng Leijie left, with his clear star eyes half-squinting¡ªit was this scum who wanted to kidnap his baby. Regarding this kind of scum, Xiu Jin naturally hopes that Lu Yu would rush up and bite Feng Leijie, this dog. Previously, as an off-court assistant, he can only cause Feng Leijie to slipped and fall heavily on the ground, interrupting his move. Now, he tried to slip him again but he¡¯s not moving anymore. It didn¡¯t matter if he couldn¡¯t slip him this time. He just pressed his finger on Feng Leijie, not believing that his movements would not slow him down. Sure enough, Feng Leijie on the screen slowed down for a moment, and this brief moment provided Lu Yu an opportunity. Following Luo Yesheng, Feng Leijie also became a bloody man ??and fell to the ground motionless. Zhu Yuan on the other side didn¡¯t need his help. Together with the zombie army, Tie Zhi and the others couldn¡¯t resist at all. My precious daughter is safe now. Xiu Jin was overwhelmed with joy and almost hummed a little tune until the smart butler interrupted again: ¡°His Royal Highness, if you won¡¯t leave, you¡¯ll be 100% late!¡± ¡°How annoying!¡± Anyone who is disturbed when playing games will be very angry. Xiu Jin furiously glared at the smart butler, and said gloomily, ¡°Can you get out?¡± The smart butler shook his head very imposingly this time: ¡°No.¡± No matter how bad Xiu Jin¡¯s face is, he still has to go to the banquet. In desperation, he switched the scene to the living room, and found that the baby daughter was sitting obediently on the small stool by the window, holding a gray bear in her arms. ¡°Wait for Dad to finish his work and then I¡¯ll go online to accompany you.¡± In Xiu Jin¡¯s consciousness, he quit the game, and everything that happened in the game stood still for a period of time. When he goes online next time, it should still be the same scenario when he went offline. If it changes, it means that the trashy system has changed it, and he doesn¡¯t even need to think about it at all. That¡¯s why he retreated with confidence. ¡­ ¡°Grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan will be fine.¡± Bian Bian whispered to Gray gray. She knew that she should hide in the bedroom, but she didn¡¯t want to. She wants to sit here and listen to the sounds outside. Even if those sounds made her tremble unconsciously when it pass through her ears, she still listened carefully. Because she can distinguish the roars of grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan from these noisy sounds. ¡°Brother Jie, I can¡¯t stand it anymore, let¡¯s retreat!¡± Someone collapsed and shouted. Feng Leijie¡¯s ice and snow ability caused the temperature to drop suddenly. Although Bian Bian is separated by a distance, she gradually felt cold after sitting by the window for a long time. She hesitated, walked into the bedroom cautiously, pulled out a coat and put it on. The bedroom window is only half-open. I don¡¯t know what happened to Grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan. It will be easy to spot her in the living room window, so she quietly lean towards the bedroom window. If she was careful enough, will she not be discovered? Bian Bian lowered her head and looked at the little bear. After a while, she stepped on the bed and moved her body to the window a little bit. Cautiously exposing half of her eyes to look out. A large group of zombie entered her field of vision. She was unable to distinguish who is grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan. At this moment, she heard a voice that was struggling to speak: ¡°You all fucking show the skills of an ability user! Come out. So many brothers have died. Don¡¯t even think about leaving if you don¡¯t get the crystal. Who dares to go, I, Lao Tzu, will be the first to feed you to the zombies!¡± These words had a huge deterrent effect, and those ability users who wanted to escape were suddenly nailed to the ground. Unable to move, they had no choice but to continue being surrounded by perils[1] from the zombies¡¯ mouth while doing their utmost to survive. The voice panted, and said: ¡°Brother Luo, don¡¯t hide either. The person who attacked us is still staring in secret. If you have special abilities, use them. Let¡¯s work together to kill this fourth-level and then find the person who sneak attacked to settle the account!¡± Bian Bian can understand every word he said. But after putting it together, she still found the meaning, a little difficult to understand. However, her intuition keenly told her that the ¡°fourth level¡± in this villain¡¯s mouth is grandpa, and he and another villain will work together to kill grandpa. Obviously, when she peeked from the living room¡¯s window before, the two bad guys who hit Grandpa had fallen to the ground. But why are they still going to kill Grandpa now? You should run if you can¡¯t beat it. But they already can¡¯t beat it, and yet they still have to kill Grandpa. These bad guys are so bad! Angry and anxious, the little dumpling¡¯s tears rolled down from her eyes. Feeling sad because she couldn¡¯t help. ¡°Bian Bian, don¡¯t be afraid. Grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan will be alright.¡± The sudden voice frightened Bian Bian. Then she immediately found that the voice belonged to dad system. The little girl seemed to have a backbone in an instant, and the tension on her white and tender face disappeared a lot. While rubbing the corners of her clothes she whispered: ¡°But those bad guys are so powerful¡­¡± She was worried that grandpa would not be able to fight. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, you forgot¡­¡± Before the words were finished, someone logged into the game, and the system cut the call with Bian Bian. To the system¡¯s surprise, the person who logged in was the no. 3, who had been squeezed out by no. 1¡ªthe magician. He, being online made the system a little uneasy. In fact, it wanted the No. 2, Nong Jiusi, to log in. Although Nong Jiusi likes to use force to hit it, causing bouts of system disorder, but apart from this, Nong Jiusi abides by the rules of the game very much. However, the magician number three, who was selected by the rules made the system instinctively feel dangerous¡ªGod knows why a system has such strange perception. The magician re-entered the game, and was greeted with a few big words: Welcome back. The system introduced the previous situation in a few words. Not mentioning the existence of Xiu Jin. The magician is still lying in the yellow sand. Since being notified by the system of the disconnection, he did not try to log in to the game again, but instead studied the modified NR device. When he was about to finish studying it, he saw the game icon again. He think for a moment, but moved faster than his thoughts¡ªhe clicked to log in. Before he was disconnected, he tied a zombie with a belt. He planned not to log in again, and yet the plot actually changed a lot. The plot skipped already in a short period of time causing the magician to frown. An invisible frost shrouded between his eyebrows. At the same time, Bian Bian who was in the bedroom felt a cold breath floating heavily. Causing the room that was cooled by Feng Leijie¡¯s abilities to again drop in a few degrees. The little girl sat on the bed silently, and finally didn¡¯t hold back. She wrapped herself tightly with the quilt, stick out her little head, and tentatively said: ¡°Uncle?¡± She always wanted to ask her uncle to help Grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan beat the bad guys. But she was embarrassed to say it. She didn¡¯t know why, but she feel that even if she ask her uncle for help, he can¡¯t do it. But now she felt that her invisible uncle actually could do it. The little girl was a little dazed. Completely confused by herself. References CH 36 After pondering for a few seconds in her heart, Bian Bian finally summoned the courage to say: ¡°Uncle, can you help Grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan get rid of the bad guys?¡± She waited a while¨Danxious for a response. Feeling that the room seemed to be getting colder, she couldn¡¯t help tightening her grip on the quilt again. Wondering if her request made her uncle embarrassed. If she grew up, she can definitely protect grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan. The little girl clenched her fists, wishing she could grow up immediately. Suddenly, Bian Bian felt a bizarre change. ¨DThe temperature has risen. It was too cold just now that she tightly wrap herself with a quilt, and in a moment, the cold air pervading the surroundings disappeared, returning to its normal summer temperature. Not only is Bian Bian tightly wrapped with a quilt, she also wore a jacket. The temperature changed too fast that she sweated on her back, so she quickly took off the quilt and the jacket. She heard voices outside¨D ¡°¡­Impossible!¡± ¡°What person!¡± ¡°Who? Sneakily hiding in the dark, if he has the ability then he should show up openly!¡± There are more monster voices, and these voices converged together. Obviously, these voices are not distinct, and yet Bian Bian can tell what all these people say. After hearing what the bad guy had said, her eyes lit up. Did invisible uncle helped? He must have help. Otherwise, the bad guys wouldn¡¯t say that. The little girl hurriedly got up and put the little bear on the bed. She carefully leaned against the window to let herself see as much as possible. This time she successfully saw Grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan. After seeing their current state, Bian Bian bit her lips hard and tried to hold back, not letting herself cry. The two zombies were practically in a different state as before. If they were not zombies, they would have died for an unknown number of times with the fatal injuries they received. The ability users has thoughts and they will avoid danger. Although they seems very embarrassed[1], they are much better than the two zombies. However, of the more than 20 ability users that the Flying dragon brought, only less than five were left, which was extremely tragic. In fact, with their lineup of two advanced B class, and the remaining C and D class, it is enough to encircle and suppress two zombies. However, there was a group of ordinary zombies. In addition, Luo and Feng¡¯s encounter made other ability users know that there was a hidden ¡°oriole¡±[2] on the scene. The other party secretly attacked and severely injured two B class combat powers, causing the scale of victory to tilt directly towards the zombies. Nevertheless, when the seriously injured Luo Yesheng and Feng Leijie lost their ability to move, this encirclement and suppression became a complete failure. Everyone fled for their lives using their ability, and yet, not knowing what abilities they used, they[3] unexpectedly recovered their mobility. Even though their faces were so pale that they could fall down at any moment, judging from their movements and expressions, their combat power had not been lost. Then, the scale of victory should now lean towards the ability users. For Feng Leijie, as long as he gets the third level and fourth-level crystal and then advance to A class, it won¡¯t matter if his people died. Having reached the point of desperation, Luo Yesheng naturally wanted to take out his skills at the bottom of the box. His goal was not the crystal, he just wanted to have a stimulating battle, and he already had it. However, the battle was unfair at the beginning. He was seriously injured by a sneak attack. If his previous goal was to fight, he now vowed to find the sneak attacker. Raging anger burned in the chest, burning the blood flowing in the veins. No one could still remain calm after being nearly killed by a sneak attack. Therefore, although Luo Yesheng can drag his severely injured body to escape, he will not leave¨DBeware of sneak attacks, first kill the fourth-level zombie with Feng Leijie, and then look for the sneak attacker. What he never expected was his and Feng Leijie¡¯s attack on the seriously injured Level 4 zombie, had failed. Immediately after Feng Leijie¡¯s angry shout, the latter¡¯s body suddenly stood still for half a second. He was wrapped up by an invisible air current and then was thrown out in a thunderous state. He could even hear the blasting sound that cut through the air, before finally falling into the group of zombies, and even them were swept away by the air current. They collided with a muffled noise, causing one¡¯s heart to stop abruptly. That noise overshadowed the roar of the zombies and echoed over the Jinxin district. Deathly stillness. The dead silence, and the roar of the zombies seemed to pause for a moment. The place where Feng Leijie fell was a small open space within a one-meter radius. He was lying on the ground contortedly. His body convulsed and twitched, and then a large amount of blood stained from under him. His almost lifeless gaze stared at the sky. Unable to maintain his ice and snow ability anymore, the temperature rose suddenly. His throat gurgled, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn¡¯t utter a word, and then¡­the ordinary zombies who were pushed away by the air current rushed up. Until his last breath, Feng Leijie¡¯s tarnished eyes were still full of disbelief, not believing that he will die just like this. No one could see that there is a slender figure standing in the middle of the street. The magician looked at the group of zombies that was eating Feng Leijie not far away, and then looked down at his right hand. He raised his eyebrows, and then retracted his gaze. His black eyes slowly looked towards Luo Yesheng. A child raising game, played on NR device, is as real as a real world¡­ The magician stepped closer to Luo Yesheng. The black leather boots stepped on a few pieces of broken glass, emitting a fragile creaking sound. This sound made Luo Yesheng confirm the location of the sneak attacker. At that moment, what appeared in his heart was not to attack. All his subconscious thought rushed in his mind like needles, and finally converged into a word¨Descape! Immediately, Luo Yesheng rushed into his car at the fastest speed. Although there were a few zombies next to his car, it was the existence of these zombies that prevented his car from being scrapped in the previous battle. As for the few remaining Flying dragon members, he couldn¡¯t care less. With his foot on the accelerator, Luo Yesheng smashed the zombies in the way. The engine roared, as the car left the street like a flying arrow. Luo Yesheng¡¯s nerves were stretched taut as he frantically stepped on the accelerator under his feet. Is it an ability to become invisible? Their attacks were ineffective against him, and he could solve Feng Leijie in one move¡­Even if Feng Leijie was seriously injured, but then again, wasn¡¯t he and Feng Leijie also powerful in their heyday? So¡­ Is this an A class ability user with invisibility? Is invisibility the special ability he possessed after awakening his ability? Why would an advance A class ability user with special abilities suddenly act on them? Are those two high-level zombies his target? And because he and Feng Leijie robbed him of his things, he decided to kill them? Luo Yesheng¡¯s mind suddenly flash over what Feng Leijie said before they set off¨Dthey had found a corpse of a third-level zombie beast here, and judged that there had been a high-level ability user passing by, that killed it. Is this that person? One thought after another entangled repeatedly, turning from passive to active manner, incessantly attacking Luo Yesheng¡¯s spirit, making him ignore the pain caused by the injuries on his body. However, he also understands his physical condition. No matter what the situation is, he now needs to find a secure place, to pass out safely. ¡­¡­ ¡°Escape!¡± Luo Yesheng¡¯s escape signaled the remaining Flying dragon members, and no one dared to worry about the crystal. They resorted to the great method of escaping¨DFeng Leijie died without even touching the enemy¡¯s face, and Luo Yesheng also escaped. Would they still continue to stay here as food for the zombies? When the ability users fled, the army of zombies naturally chased them. Some couldn¡¯t find their way and rushed straight towards the magician Although knowing that these disgusting things could not touch him, the coldness on the magician¡¯s face still deepened. There wasn¡¯t any visible movement, and yet the zombies that hit him exploded with a bang. The magician twisted his eyebrows in disgust, and took a few steps back. Out of the corners of his eyes, he saw Lu Yu and Zhu Yuan staring at each other, all in tatters, covered with black and blue ¡°soup water¡±[4] Some of their wounds were too big and you can see the internal organs that have changed color. He should be thankful for not being able to smell. The magician withdrew his eyes blankly and raised his hand to switch to the living room scene. The clean and bright living room eased his mood, and then he sat down on the sofa. After no less than half a minute, the system¡¯s greetings appeared in front of him: ¡¾Congratulations, you are safe.¡¿ It probably thought that this sentence is too dry, so the system held back for a few seconds, and then added: ¡¾Please keep it up.¡¿ The magician raised his eyelids slightly. His eyes coldy swept over the two lines, and smiled softly: ¡°Is this really just a game?¡± Fuck. If the system has hairs, it must have all stood up by now. ¡¾Certainly!¡¿ It decisively answered.[5] The corner of the magician¡¯s mouth was half-curved. He did not speak. That¡¯s a smile¡­ right? Trying to ignore the magician¡¯s smile that made the system feel cold on the scalp, it said: ¡¾Although the ability users that want to harm Bian Bian have been resolved, the existence of Lu Yu and Zhu Yuan is still a ticking time bomb for Bian Bian. As a good father who loves his daughter, he will certainly not let Bian Bian fall into the danger of being easily harmed by zombies.¡¿ ¡¾The injuries suffered can be healed, and the game played can be re-logged in, but there is only one Bian Bian. If she died, she will be gone completely. Please protect Bian Bian.¡¿ Hearing that, the magician seemingly ¡°sneered¡±. When the system was still unsure whether he perceived wrong, Bian Bian came out of the bedroom. ¡°Uncle, are you still there?¡± The system carefully observed the man sitting on the sofa who looked like a black evil spirit; he had a slight change in his expression when he saw Bian Bian. It knows that there is no male that can resist Bian Bian! ¡°Thank you Uncle for helping Grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan beat the bad guys.¡± She turned towards the window, where she thought her invisble Uncle was. Her little face was full of childish seriousness, ¡°Bian Bian is still too young now. When I grow up, if Uncle asks me to do something, I will definitely do it.¡± The magician leaned leisurely on the sofa. The plain sofa made his face look paler. He looked at Bian Bian, and suddenly laughed in a low voice. ¡°It¡¯s been a long time since I heard such innocent words.¡± His tone was a bit mocking, but it was mixed with a different kind of gentleness. In his ears, the little girl couldn¡¯t conceal her worried and lost voice. His voice was very low, he just wanted to say it, but he didn¡¯t want her to hear it. ¡°Grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan are injured.¡± Worried that they were injured, she is disappointed because she could not help. Then, she had asked her uncle to help her grandfather beat the bad guys. Even though she was still young, Bian Bian understood that she couldn¡¯t always ask for help. Moreover¡­ Stepping on a small stool, she look through the window on the two scarred zombies sitting downstairs on the ground. They are vigilantly facing each other, and yet no one wanted to leave. Grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan are zombies, and zombies cannot be cured. Bian Bian has always been very aware of this. References CH 37.1 After the big battle between the zombies and the ability users, most of the streets downstairs were almost destroyed. In addition, the abandoned vehicles parked on the side were overturned on the ground, laying in pieces. There were burnt marks everywhere, as well as half-burnt corpses. The cracked ground is covered with dark red blood, and the air is filled with a pungent, rotten smell. The army of zombies wearing prison clothes drove the surviving ability users away. There is a zombie who seemingly wanted to stay. After it ran a distance, it once again hesitated to return. A pair of gray eyes stared at the two high-level zombies on the ground, which appeared to be defenseless. There are two ways for zombies to advance, one is to advance naturally, and the other¡­ is to devour the same kind. Yes, zombies can also eat other zombies, or crystals. However, ordinary zombies don¡¯t have this kind of consciousness, while zombies above the second level will instinctively develop the consciousness of swallowing similar crystals[1] to promote themselves. This zombie that hesitated to stop is a second-level zombie. He was summoned ike other ordinary zombies. Facing a zombie two levels higher than he does, he unconditionally obeyed, without raising any resistance. Just like a dog raised by its master. When the master beckons, the dog will run over and obey the master¡¯s orders. However, now the ¡°master¡± is seriously injured and incapacitated. As a ¡°dog¡±, it is possible to eat his master due to starvation. So¡­ The second-level zombie stopped hesitantly. The instinct belonging to the zombie class tells himself that if it ate two severely injured advance zombies, his level will rise at a terrifying speed. At that time, he will dominate this area. Seeking wealth and danger, this can also be used in the law of zombies. He waited for a long time. Then, he threw a corpse over, that had been gnawed by the zombies to the point where only bits and pieces were left, indicating that he was ¡°offering food¡± to the boss. In the prison, he is a second-level zombie, where he also manages a batch of ordinary zombies. Moreover, those ordinary zombies are usually so respectful to him. Of course, he wasn¡¯t offering food with kind intentions. It was just a test. Using food to test whether these two zombies are no longer dangerous. The position of a second-level zombie is very delicate. It¡¯s not too far away, yet also not too close. Judging from his current appearance, he is in a much better state than the two ¡°seriously injured¡± zombies. During the battle just now, he mostly stayed in the middle of the zombie army, and 80% of the attacks of the ability users were borne by other zombies. The first to move was the third-level zombie. During the fierce battle, he had no time to fill his hunger with food. Although the battle is over, there wasn¡¯t any food that he could take in. When the second-level zombie threw the half-fresh corpse over, the smell of flesh and blood made the level 3 zombie struggle to stand up from the ground. Clang Dang! A piece of thin metal sheet flew over, hit his forehead and rolled to the ground. It was a part of the car. It was thrown from the hands of the level four zombie. He roared at the third-level zombie, and although his voice was weak, the coercion belonging to an advance fourth level was still there. The third-level zombie hadn¡¯t reacted yet, but the second-level zombie who had been paying attention were taken aback, realizing that he had probably miscalculated. Even if the ¡°master¡± was seriously injured, it was still not easy for this ¡°dog¡± to make a move. Therefore, the second-level zombie picked up the half-mutilated corpse and ran away like a frightened bird. ¡°Hoho!¡± Seeing that the food in his mouth was gone, the third-level zombie hatefully roared back to the fourth-level zombie on the opposite side. He stiffly picked up the metal piece that hit him, and raised his hand to smash it back to the fourth-level zombie. As a result, when he was about to smash it back, he stopped his action. He slowly put his hand down and silently moved the metal piece to his mouth, licking the blood on it. This action seemed to anger the fourth-level zombie. He jumped up with his injured body in an instant, and crashed into the third-level zombie like a cannon. The latter hit a trash can that was still standing stubbornly on the ground and flew away with it, before falling heavily on the ground. A large chunk of it visibly shrunk into his chest. The zombies didn¡¯t feel pain. Nevertheless, with this heavy blow, it was difficult to stand up again for a while. The fourth-level zombie faltered, looked around and raised his head, accurately pointing his eyes towards the wide-open window on the third floor. Bian Bian¡¯s little head was there, witnessing the sudden scene just now. The fourth-level zombie walked two steps forward, and just stood restrainedly. He raised his hand and slowly touched the bridge of his nose; the glasses on it had disappeared in the battle just now. A paper box suddenly fell out from Bian Bian¡¯s side, and the sound made Bian Bian retract her head. The sudden appearance of things out of thin air at home, no longer surprise her. Knowing that invisible uncle gave this to her. She jumped off the stool. Squatted on the ground, and observed it carefully. The outside of the carton is white, without any pattern or writing. There is a seal encircling it. Bian Bian torn off the seal to open the box. There is a roll of medical gauze, alcohol, and two transparent medicine jars, which are filled with something similar to a gel. It is light blue in color, and looked particularly like jelly. ¡°Bian Bian, this is the wound medicine for Grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan.¡± The system explained in due course, and didn¡¯t say much. It disappeared after saying this sentence. Of course the magician bought the wound medicine. He casually tapped into the market where only the ¡°medicine¡± column could be clicked. One of the icons was lit¨D ¡¾Primary wound medicine kit.¡¿ The wound medicine kit includes basic medical gauze, disinfectant alcohol, and two jars of repair ointment. As the name suggests, if the body has been injured, repair ointment can be applied to speed up the healing process. Consequently, there is a very small reminder regarding the repair ointment: it can be used for all species. In other words, no matter what species is injured, this ointment can be applied. So¡­ what about zombies? The magician didn¡¯t ask. He just casually paid with star coins, letting the primary wound medicine kit that he purchased fall on the ground while staring silently at the little figure. The system was worried that Bian Bian could not understand these, so it risked being discovered by the magician and explained to Bian Bian. Although Bian Bian is illiterate, she is no stranger to medical things. She has a small medical kit herself. Combining medical gauze and alcohol, as well as the words of dad system¡­ picking up a jar of repair ointment, her small face is full of uncontrollable excitement. Grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan have medicine for their injuries. At least, at least they can stop the bleeding in their bodies. She thought. But¡­ Bian Bian¡¯s two thin eyebrows knitted in distress: ¡°How can Grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan put medicine on their bodies?¡± It was her invisible uncle that helped beat the bad guys away and bought the medicine for her. She shouldn¡¯t obtain an inch slowly by asking him to give medicine to his grandfather and Uncle Zhu Yuan. Bian Bian felt embarrassed just thinking about it. Looking at her little fist, the little girl thought to herself: Although she is still young and can only do limited things, she can¡¯t always ask for help from others. She must do what she can. She has to try applying medicine for Grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan. Moreover, she only need to apply the medicine on the wounds of Grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan. She doesn¡¯t have to use a knife. It¡¯s very simple. Zombies can eat people, but in Bian Bian¡¯s heart, she is quite sure that Grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan will not eat herself¨Deven if Zhu Yuan tried to fly up and attack her not long ago. If Grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan can¡¯t move, she can apply medicine to them. Like before, when my invisible uncle tied Uncle Zhu Yuan with a belt. Bian Bian ran to her bedroom, pulled out two pieces of rope, and said to the air without confidence: ¡°Uncle, can you help me tie up Grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan?¡± The magician did not respond, and just sat on the sofa without even lifting an eyelid. ¡°It turns out that uncle has left already.¡± When she didn¡¯t get a response, she subconsciously thought that her invisible uncle had left. That¡¯s fine, otherwise she will always want to ask her invisible uncle for help. She knows that this kind of behavior is not good, so she has to forget asking for requests every time. It doesn¡¯t matter, she can do it herself! ¡°I haven¡¯t thanked my uncle yet for the medicine he gave me. When my uncle comes next time, I must remember it.¡± The little girl muttered to herself while tying the rope around her waist, and then bending over to pick up the medicine box. She has decided to go downstairs to help Grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan apply medicine. She didn¡¯t forget to bring the little bear again. With Gray gray, her courage will be greater. ¡°Grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan both fell on the ground and didn¡¯t move. I just threw something down but they didn¡¯t move when they heard it. It shows that Grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan are very uncomfortable. If there wasn¡¯t any medicine applied to them, and in case there are bad guys again. ¡­¡± Bian Bian sniffled, ¡°I must protect them.¡± She quickly pulled out a cloak and a raincoat to put on. She thought, if Grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan decided to bite herself, they would not be able to if she was wearing a raincoat. The little girl think that she was very thoughtful. In this way, while holding the little bear and the medicine box, she walked down the stairs with her two short legs. References CH 38 ¡°Grandpa, you wait here. I¡¯m going to apply medicine to Uncle Zhu Yuan.¡± Although she was guilty, Bian Bian didn¡¯t regret it at all. She couldn¡¯t even wait to share her joy with the little bear next to her, and whispered: ¡°Grandpa didn¡¯t bite me, oh.¡± The little white tender face overflowed with a child¡¯s unique flaunting expression. She knew that Grandpa wouldn¡¯t bite her! The little girl stood up holding the remaining ointment. Unexpectedly, the old zombie suddenly opened his gray emotionless eyes then emitted a hoarse sound. He struggled to stand up, taking a few steps back, he is now two meters away from Bian Bian. Bian Bian tentatively approached Uncle Zhu Yuan a few steps closer. When she looked back, she found that Grandpa had also walked a few steps behind her. Grandpa is following her. After realizing this, the little girl no longer had any worries. She bounced closer to Zhu Yuan, then applied the rest of the repair ointment to the place where the third-level zombie¡¯s wound is heavier. The third-level zombie sensed the approaching old zombie. Moreover, the iron barrel obstructed his sight thus, he twisted uncomfortably, which added a lot of trouble to Bian Bian¡¯s treatment. ¡°Uncle Zhu Yuan, don¡¯t move.¡± Applying medicine also requires skills, and Bian Bian¡¯s small arms were already sore after applying ointment to Grandpa¨Dthis is still in the case of the extra cooperative old zombie. Now the third-level zombie is constantly twisting his body, which naturally affects the efficiency of Bian Bian. The repair ointment was also wasted because it has been applied to places that are not injured. The little girl couldn¡¯t help it anymore, if she hadn¡¯t known her own strength, she would¡¯ve restrained him already. After receiving Bian Bian¡¯s soft ¡°command¡±, the twisting body of the third-level zombie paused. No one knew whether he understood something or not. In short¡­ he twisted his body even more fiercely. Bian Bian: ¡°¡­¡± At this moment, the old zombie who had been standing two meters away from Bian Bian bypassed her. He approached the third-level zombie from the other side, raised one hand, and heavily slapped the iron bucket. There was a crisp hum. The third-level zombie fell to the ground, motionless, startling Bian Bian. Of course, she would not blame grandpa for hitting Uncle Zhu Yuan¨Din fact, not long ago, she had thought that grandpa could not beat Uncle Zhu Yuan. ¡°Uncle Zhu Yuan?¡± The third-level zombie didn¡¯t say a word, so the old zombie slowly stretched out his foot and kicked the iron bucket. A few seconds later, a low, threatening ¡°hoho¡± came from under the iron bucket, and then, he lay down obediently. Like a real corpse, letting himself be tossed around. ¡°Grandpa is amazing!¡± Bian Bian is not stupid. With her toes, she can think that it was Grandpa who made Uncle Zhu Yuan so ¡°obedient¡±. The old zombie glanced at her and silently took two steps back. Still biting the rope in his mouth. He sat down where he could reach the iron bucket with his hand. His gray eyes watched Bian Bian¡¯s actions. Bian Bian showed a big smile to her grandfather, and then she carefully applied the medicine to Uncle Zhu Yuan. The application was soon finished. Shaking her sore little arm, she nodded with a sense of accomplishment. She didn¡¯t understand the effect of the medicine, however after applying it, she could see with her naked eyes that the wounds on Grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan had stopped bleeding. Under the old zombie¡¯s watch, she ¡°pulled out¡± the iron bucket on the head of the third-level zombie, revealing Zhu Yuan¡¯s dull face. Fresh, delicious¡­ flesh and blood. The dull face of the third level zombie slowly began to move stiffly. After seeing Bian Bian, the corners of his mouth opened wide¡­Bang! His head was smashed¨Dby the old zombie¡¯s fist. The movement of the third-level zombie froze instantly. Seeing this scene, Bian Bian smiled while holding her little face. The soft laughter that belonged to a child fluttered in the wind, adding a hint of pure ¡°cleanness¡± to this area full of rotten smell. Looking at the terrible environment around her, Bian Bian made a decision. Fortunately, the little girl had seen many bad scenes with her grandfather before, so she was not particularly afraid when she saw blood stains and some corpses on the ground. ¡°Grandpa, it¡¯s too dirty outside, so you must not live outside. Let¡¯s go home.¡± While untying the rope on Zhu Yuan, she said, ¡°Now I will untie Uncle Zhu Yuan¡¯s rope, you can¡¯t let him bite me, oh.¡± She wants to take grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan to live at home! Regarding the current situation, the system didn¡¯t know how to explain it, so it didn¡¯t say anything. It stands to reason that Lu Yu still hasn¡¯t reached the fifth level, and only if he successfully advances to Level 5 can he recover 10% of his self-awareness. However, Lu Yu is only currently at the pinnacle of the fourth level, half-way to level five. Therefore, it is impossible for him to have self-awareness at all. But all his reactions to Bian Bian clearly showed self-awareness. Even if it wasn¡¯t much, it was enough for him to understand that he should not hurt Bian Bian, so he began to instinctively protect Bian Bian and prevent Zhu Yuan from hurting her. It¡¯s so strange that the system checked all the data and found no suitable explanation for this situation. Could it be the magician¡¯s handwriting? Did he bypass the rules of the system and awaken Lu Yu¡¯s self-awareness? If so, how did he do it? Except for casually moving his hands before, after that, the magician only looked at everything silently, like a real shadow. Seeing that, the system panicked. But what makes the system happy is that the danger that Lu Yu poses to Bian Bian has been removed. Although Zhu Yuan¡¯s danger still exists, it will not be a big deal with Lu Yu¡¯s presence. At the very least, Bian Bian was happy to take Lu Yu and Zhu Yuan home. The heartfelt joy of the little girl affected the system, making it feel as if there were countless beautiful fireworks blooming in its heart. ¨DAlthough it does not have a human body, it can actually feel it. Therefore, the system did not make a prompt that it would be dangerous for Bian Bian to go home with Lu Yu and Zhu Yuan. It was also at this moment that the magician went offline quietly. The system was inexplicably relieved. At the same time, Bian Bian had brought the two zombies home. The old zombie melted the door previously so it was impossible to install them again. Unless Grandpa ¡°fixes¡± the door. Naturally, Bian Bian wouldn¡¯t make such a request¨DGrandpa is injured. Now Grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan are by her side. For her, except for the fact that Grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan had become zombies, there¡¯s not much difference than before. Even if there is no door, the home will be safe. ¡°Grandpa, Uncle Zhu Yuan, change your clothes.¡± She found two sets of grandpa¡¯s clothes. Not long ago, she was thinking about changing grandpa¡¯s clothes by herself, but now she realized that this was something she couldn¡¯t accomplish. However, Grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan cannot be allowed to continue wearing those dirty and smelly clothes. They must change. Bian Bian had no alternative but to hold her own clothes and hop around, trying to make them understand what ¡°changing clothes¡± means. During the process of returning home, the old zombie was quiet all the way, including at the moment where he was watching Bian Bian gesticulate while holding her clothes. Except for the fleeting flash of doubt in his gray eyes, he had no other reaction nor did he make any sound. The sternum of the third level zombie was still not corrected so he walked a little unstable. Although he was repeatedly slapped on the head by the old zombie, he couldn¡¯t beat him. Zombies also pay attention to those knowledgeable Junjie[1] practitioners! As Bian Bian gestured while holding her clothes, he suddenly realized something. He tore off his tattered clothes and went to pull his pants¨D The silent old zombie suddenly roared and directly pulled the third-slowpoke-zombie¡¯s neck, and then threw him out of the door. Afterwards, the old zombie almost carefully took the clothes in Bian Bian¡¯s hand, walked out of the door, while carrying the third-level zombie who was thrown dizzy into the third floor. The accident happened too quickly, and Bian Bian didn¡¯t react for a while. When she finally reacted, she hurried out of the gate while holding Gray Gray. A large piece of the metal wall on the third floor above was broken, which can be regarded as a ¡°door¡±. It was made by the old zombie when he left the third floor previously. Bian Bian saw Grandpa dragged Uncle Zhu Yuan in through the door.Thinking about Uncle Zhu Yuan¡¯s shrunken chest, she was worried just in case Grandpa hit Uncle Zhu Yuan, she had just applied the medicine to the wound¡­. it must not be wasted! She has to follow up and take a look. However, just after taking her first step on the third floor, a piece of metal lay awkwardly in front of her, as if it was about to fall, but still hanging stubbornly, which was obviously preventing her from coming forward. Bian Bian understood. Grandpa took away the clothes and brought Uncle Zhu Yuan upstairs to change clothes. She returned to the room obediently, waiting for Grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan to come back after changing their clothes. Thinking that Grandpa had lost so much weight, he needs to eat more to make up for it. Bian Bian decided to cook, but the only thing she could do was ¡°cook noodles¡±, which didn¡¯t require any skills. She just had to boil the water and soak the noodles. We¡¯ll have noodles tonight. After making that decision, Bian Bian expertly went to the kitchen, turned on the gas, and poured five bottles of mineral water into the pot. Among them was the organic mineral water that Xiu Jin purchased. In order to feed Grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan, she dragged out a box of instant noodles and took out six packets¡­ Six packets should be enough. After hesitating, she picked up two more and decided to cook eight packets. Even if she get more, she does not have such a big pot! ¡°Why haven¡¯t they changed yet.¡± The little girl sighed and said to the little bear with a drooping face. She returned to the kitchen with the instant noodles. The water in the pot had already begun to smoke. She tore open the packaging of the instant noodles one by one, and gently put the round noodles into the pot¨Dthe hot water would splash if she roughly threw it, and would scald her hand. Putting a little bit of the seasoning in, the rich aroma of the instant noodles permeated instantly. Looking at the bubbling soup of the instant noodle, she couldn¡¯t help thinking: adding meat would definitely make it more delicious. Speaking of meat¡­ Snow dried meat is also edible meat anyway. Bian Bian doesn¡¯t know how to read. She didn¡¯t know that the bag contains dried snow meat, but there are pictures on the bag that arouse people¡¯s appetite. She can tell at a glance that there is meat inside. With bright eyes, Bian Bian rushed back to the living room, stood on tiptoe, took the snow dried meat, and then glanced at the door. Grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan hadn¡¯t come back yet, but she could hear their voices. Their voices made her feel at ease. Returning to the kitchen, the fragrance of the instant noodles is much stronger. Bian Bian tore the package open, the snow dried meat inside is pink and white, one strip after another. When Bian Bian took out a piece, her small belly made a gurgling sound. She really couldn¡¯t hold back under the scent of the snow dried meat, so she lowered her head and took a bite. The meat is elastic, and chewing it in the mouth generates fragrance. After eating two strips unknowingly, she stuck out her little tongue, and with some reluctance, poured all the remaining snow dried meat into the instant noodle pot. Consequently, the scent of the snow dried meat as well as the scent of the instant noodles merged and formed another attractive fragrance. Bian Bian squatted on the side of the pot and held her little fist, eagerly wanting to pour it straight to her throat. The strange and attractive fragrance wafted out, as if alive. Upstairs, under the supervision of the old zombie, the third level zombie who finally put on the right clothes after trying for six times was hooked by the fragrance. He agitatedly rushed downstairs with his underpants. ¡°Roar!!!¡± The old zombie stared at his underpants and roared in anger. References CH 39.1 A torrential rain poured down in the midsummer night. The continuous rain washed the ground, taking away all the dirt marks. In a dilapidated building, Tie Zhi and Zhang Wenxi, who managed to escape, huddled together in an office. Some of the army zombies that came from the prison lost their prey and went to other places, while some wandered around. Therefore the two of them could only stay here temporarily, not daring to move. ¡°Brother Tie, Brother Jie is dead.¡± In the dark, Zhang Wenxi said in a trembling voice. He was about to approach Tie Zhi. ¡°You get a little bit closer, I don¡¯t mind finishing you right now.¡± As he approached, Zhang Wenxi¡¯s body froze. The cold muzzle of a gun pressed against his forehead. With a cry of fear, ¡°Tie, Brother Tie, you, you¡­what are you doing?¡± Tie Zhi sneered. His voice was cold: ¡°Do you think that I¡¯ve already exhausted my ability, so you can take advantage of my weakness to grab my ability and kill me? Your wishful thinking is quite good.¡± ¡°I, I didn¡¯t.¡± Zhang Wenxi retorted with a trembling voice. In the darkness, no one¡¯s face was clearly visible. Tie Zhi: ¡°Don¡¯t think I don¡¯t know how Liu Neng died.¡± In the siege of the high-level zombies, when the members of Flying dragon escaped, only three people were left, and even Feng Leijie, the leader was dead. Liu Neng is one of the three survivors. In order to avoid the army of zombies, they finally chose to enter this building. Before entering, Zhang Wenxi, who was running at the end, was about to be caught by the zombies. But somehow, Liu Neng, who was running in front, had a weak leg and became the zombie¡¯s dinner, buying time for the two of them. Zhang Wenxi escaped, and Tie Zhi hid in an unmanned office. ¡°The reason why I haven¡¯t killed you right now is that, your special ability is still useful. You¡¯d better be honest.¡± Tie Zhi¡¯s voice was even colder and more forceful than before. After a while, Zhang Wenxi weakly said: ¡°Brother Tie, you really misunderstood me. I have always been on your side¡­ Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t get close to you.¡± ¡°Besides, I know how many catties and taels I am. How could I leave here alive without you.¡± He said sincerely, skipping Liu Neng¡¯s death. Tiezhi was silent, seemingly gauging his meaning. Zhang Wenxi made persistent efforts, his voice became brisk and a little flattering: ¡°Although we lost a lot this time and got nothing, it is a good thing for Brother Tie. Brother Jie is dead, and the Flying dragon will be yours naturally. ¡° Tie Zhi let out a sneer from his nose, and retracted the gun that was on Zhang Wenxi¡¯s forehead. Zhang Wenxi breathed out a sigh of relief and wiped off his cold sweat. Most of what he said was the truth, and now he and Tie Zhi were the only ones left. Tiezhi is a C class. He has to rely on him in order to leave here and return to the base camp. He is not a fool. If he really kills Tie Zhi, he would be cutting his own way. ¡°Brother Tie, speaking of which, we really have to thank that fourth level zombie and the expert who sneaked attacked this time.¡± He added the word ¡°we¡±, ¡°If it weren¡¯t for them, Brother Jie wouldn¡¯t die so easily. Looking at the strength that he had showed today, if we follow through the original plan, even if he and Luo Yesheng kill the fourth level zombie, his combat power damaged, and his ability was in my hands, I¡¯m afraid it might not be successful. Moreover, your plan will not be implemented. ¡° Hearing this, Tiezhi was noncommittal. He wanted to kill Feng Leijie a long time ago and replace his position. For this reason, he had been secretly planning for a long time. Feng Leijie was so powerful that he could only use external forces to kill him. The opportunity is at this time, when they went to encircle and supress the high level zombies. He made outstanding suggestions to Feng Leijie. Letting him work together with Luo Yesheng to kill the fourth-level zombie. Afterwards, taking advantage of Luo Yesheng¡¯s weakness, Zhang Wenxi will use his special ability to capture Luo Yesheng¡¯s abilities, so that Luo Yesheng could be easily killed, and Feng Leijie could only keep the crystal. But in fact, this plan was aimed at Feng Leijie. Tie Zhi bribed Zhang Wenxi to attack Feng Leijie, who planned to kill the level 4 zombie, while he was unprepared. Without his abilities, Feng Leijie could only be slaughtered. As for Luo Yesheng, he just needs to trade on the terms negotiated first with Feng Leijie. From beginning to end, Tie Zhi had only one goal and that is to kill Feng Leijie. The crystal was not that important to him. He didn¡¯t think that the plan could not to keep up with the changes. He didn¡¯t even need to take action and Feng Leijie died directly. Luo Yesheng escaped with serious injuries, and he also tried his best to escape from the group of zombies. Seeing Tie Zhi not speaking, Zhang Wenxi thought for a while, and then said: ¡°But Zhou Yubai is in the hotel. Will he doubt Brother Jie¡¯s death and hinder you¡­?¡± Zhou Yubai is said to be the same as Tie Zhi. They are both Feng Leijie¡¯s confidantes, whom he trusted. However, Zhou Yubai is not strong enough, and has almost always stayed at the base camp, without going out. During the time that Zhang Wenxi joined the Flying dragon, he only heard of his name and never met him. Although Tie Zhi retracted the gun, he kept holding it in his hand. Focusing his attention on Zhang Wenxi. People like Zhang Wenxi seem to be cowardly and incompetent, but in fact they have a vicious mind. Like a poisonous snake hidden in the dark. If you don¡¯t pay attention, he will jump out and take a fatal bite. Tie Zhi naturally wouldn¡¯t give him that opportunity, he emotionlessly said: ¡°You don¡¯t need to worry about it.¡± Zhang Wenxi ended the conversation with a smile . The rain was pouring heavily outside. At this moment, a strange sound suddenly resounded outside the office. There seems to be someone dragging something while walking. Lightning flashed across the dark night. There was a fleeting bright light, and it is enough for the two ability users in the room to see the picture, that they had just caught a glimpse in an instant. The office where they hid uses a glass wall. When they entered, they made sure that they were no zombies in the room. They closed the door of the office, and leaned against the corner. When the lightning disappeared, both of them saw a fierce tail suddenly appearing in the corridor outside through the glass wall. ¡°Brother Tie¡­¡± Zhang Wenxi¡¯s scalp went numb, and his teeth trembled. ¡°It¡¯s, it¡¯s a zombie beast¡­¡± There was a zombie beast in the corridor outside! Tie Zhi yelled, ¡°Shut up!¡± It was unknown from what type of animal the zombie beast mutated from. The strange noises it made as it walked, rack the nerves of the two people, little by little. They didn¡¯t even dare to take a breath. While they were holding their breath enjoying the inhuman torture, the room in the third floor of Jinxin Community, a few blocks away, was bustling with noice and excitement. The living room radiates a bright and warm light. ¨D¨DBian Bian pressed the orange side of the magic ball. The warm orange light illuminates the room. She cooked a big pot of instant noodle, and finished a bowl of it. Her belly became rounder, while the rest of the noodle went into the stomach of the two zombies. There is the old zombie. Except for howling from time to time, the third-level zombie, who was inevitably and rightfully punched by the old zombie,become more honest afterwards. Especialy when eating. Contrary to what one might expect, the old zombie uses bowls and chopsticks. Although he is a little clumsy, after Bian Bian corrected a few movements, the old zombie had already quickly grasped the technique of holding the noodles with chopsticks. Not spilling the soup on his body. However, the third-level zombie is a liitle bit worse on this. His hands were so stiff that he couldn¡¯t hold the chopsticks. Bian Bian was so anxious that she wanted to go and pull Uncle Zhu Yuan¡¯s fingers to teach him to use the chopsticks, but the old zombie stopped her. Grandpa did not allow herself to approach Uncle Zhu Yuan, nor did he allow him to approach her. Bian Bian bulged her cheeks, she had no choice but to give up, and let Uncle Zhu Yuan hold the bowl and pour it directly into his mouth. ¨D¨DContrary to one might expect, the third-level zombie actually wanted to grab the soup with his hands. Bian Bian helplessly said, ¡°Uncle Zhu Yuan, you will get your clothes dirty like this¡±, and then, the third level zombie was beaten by the old zombie. He had to give up grabbing it with his hands and instead pour it directly into his mouth. Only then was the old zombie satisfied, and continued to use chopsticks unskillfully to clip the noodles. Until one person and two zombies finished eating, Bian Bian quickly cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks. She didn¡¯t care what grandfather and Uncle Zhu Yuan were doing. She lifted the pot and put it on the stove with difficulty. Stepping on a small stool, she put the pot in the sink and started washing the dishes. When I grow up a little bit more, I¡¯ll be stronger. The little girl was especially happy thinking that Grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan will be able to accompany her in the future. She was full of joy in her heart. The olde zombie stood at the door of the kitchen, staring at her small back. His gray eyes turned a few times, and then he suddenly walked around frantically. Wanting to go into the kitchen, but didn¡¯t dare to. His actions showed that he have been restraining himself. Not letting himself get too close to Bian Bian. It¡¯s as if getting too close would bring a terrible danger to that little thing. On the other hand, after eating the instant noodles, the third-level zombie¡¯s burning hunger, that seems to be engraved in his soul faded a lot. Thus, his attention fell on the side of the floor mat in the living room where the Lego toys was piled up. This thing seemed to arouse his interest, so the third-level zombie staggered over and sat down. He stretched out his pale hand with dark lines, and with a gentle push, the Lego toy was suddenly overturned, and the building blocks rolled over. Upon seeing this, the corners of his mouth slowly turned, and he made a ¡°ho ho¡± sound¨Duhh¡­.let¡¯s presume that he laugh, ok?. The third-level zombie who found the toy arranged those building blocks and started putting it together seriously. The old zombie at the door of the kitchen glanced back, then turned his head, and continued to stare at the small figure in the kitchen. CH 39.2 Meanwhile, Bian Bian, who was washing the dishes, put the little bear next to the stove, and then talk to it while doing so, shouldering the two roles at the same time.[1] ¡°Gray Gray, will Grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan speak again in the future?¡± ¡°Of course they will.¡± She lowered her voice, playing the role of Gray Gray. Bian Bian: ¡°But Grandpa said that monsters are no longer humans.¡± The little bear/Bian Bian said: ¡°But Grandpa didn¡¯t bite you, went home with you and prevented Uncle Zhu Yuan from biting you. He is protecting you.¡± ¡°Yes, maybe Grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan will become human again in the future.¡± Her voice was overwhelmed with excitement, ¡°But how can I help Grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan to become human again?¡± Bian Bian¡¯s version of the little bear: ¡°When uncle comes next time, you ask him. He is so powerful, so he must know.¡± ¡°What if uncle doesn¡¯t know either.¡± After saying this, the little girl sighed like an adult looking at the dirty little bear. After washing the dishes for the first time, she started to clean them for the second time. When she finally finished washing, she tried to drag the pot up. At this time, she desperately hoped that she could grow up quickly, so that she could easily do these things. Unexpectedly, her footing on the stool was a little off, and it started to lean on one side. Bian Bian¡¯s body lost its center of gravity, and the pot heavily fell back to the sink, while Bian Bian herself fell on the ground. This is not the first time that Bian Bian has fallen. Therefore, she covered her face with experience¨Dcouldn¡¯t fall to her face, it hurt most when she fell to her face. The old zombie, who was at the door let out a mournful roar in an instant. Even though he didn¡¯t know why, he instinctively rushed into the kitchen, trying to stop Bian Bian from falling. However, when he saw the palm of his stretched out hand, he stopped¨Dthe nail is an abnormal bluish gray color, and the tip was sharp, similar to a cold blade. It seems that something in his consciousness is telling him that he must not touch her, because it would be easy to scratch her. This kind of consciousness tore his instinct to prevent her from falling, as if pulling the strings from his body,[2] which made him want to roar madly. With a bang, Bian Bian fell to the ground. However, her body¡¯s momentum of falling to the ground disappeared, rather than falling, it¡¯s more of lying down. It doesn¡¯t hurt at all! Bian Bian, who was covering her face, stood up in surprise. She didn¡¯t even bother to pat the dust on her skirt, as she quickly raised her little face to the old zombie who wanted to rush over but stopped, causing her body to swing dramatically and said: ¡°Grandpa, I¡¯m fine. It doesn¡¯t hurt.¡± The old zombie stopped roaring. His tall and thin body was hunched, and his gray eyes trembled slightly, staring closely at little Bian Bian. Bian Bian trotted over and tried to pull Grandpa¡¯s hand. She felt that Grandpa was frightened by her fall. In the past, every time she fell and hurt herself, her grandpa would hug her and cry for her, so that it wouldn¡¯t hurt. Before she could get closer, the old zombie abruptly retreated in shock, and directly withdrew from the kitchen. His body couldn¡¯t stop trembling. He hurriedly put his hands behind his back and screamed anxiously. No, you can¡¯t get close. He roared again, the roots of his teeth itching faintly. Once again, Grandpa refused to approach. Bian Bian¡¯s long eyelashes lowered, somewhat at a loss. Fortunately, she was only at a loss for a few seconds, and she adjusted quickly. This episode made her forget the strangeness of her fall just now, which did not hurt. Seeing that Uncle Zhu Yuan was playing her Lego, the little girl hurriedly ran over¨D The old zombie also quickly followed. His eyes kept scanning Bian Bian¡¯s body, seemingly checking whether she was injured, and as if he simply didn¡¯t know what to do. Bypassing the sofa, he was about to stand beside the third-level zombie. When he lifted his foot to step on the floor mat, he looked at the clean floor mat and then at his dirty shoes. Although the clothes of the two zombies were changed, their shoes were not changed. ¨D¨DBian Bian forgot to look for shoes. After hesitating, the old zombie silently retracted his feet. ¡°Uncle Zhu Yuan, you didn¡¯t take off your shoes!¡± Seeing the third-level zombie stepping on the floor mat with his shoes on, the little girl¡¯s face collapsed, and the white and tender face wrinkled into a bun. Looking at Uncle Zhu Yuan and the piles of Lego with a headache¡­. If the floor mat gets dirty, how can she wash it? The third-level zombie who heard the sound grabbed a building block, raised his bruised and swollen face, followed the sound and looked at Bian Bian. Then he smiled at Bian Bian. That was probably¡­a friendly smile. Although Bian Bian was not afraid, she was so stimulated by Uncle Zhu Yuan¡¯s smile that goose bumps appeared on her arm. Uncle Zhu Yuan, who hadn¡¯t turned into a monster, was good looking. After becoming a monster, Uncle Zhu Yuan didn¡¯t look so good. As for grandpa¡­ Grandpa is still as good-looking as before! Bian Bian thought firmly in her heart. Grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan should change their shoes into clean ones. Why hasn¡¯t she thought of it before? Bian Bian was a little upset, if there were slippers to change¡­ Bian Bian turned around and ran towards the shoe cabinet at the doorway, searching for slippers inside. On the other hand, the old zombie picked up the building block that was rolling on the edge of the floor mat and smashed it towards the third-level zombie, who was sitting at the center of the floor mat. The third-level zombie, who had been hit again held his head, and blankly turned his eyes to the old zombie, a little angry. Why should he keep hitting him! If it wasn¡¯t because he was one level higher than him, if it wasn¡¯t for¡­if it wasn¡¯t for what? The third-level zombie was at a loss again. ¡°Ho ho!¡± The old zombie stretched out his fingers to the floor that was not covered by the floor mat. A threatening sound that only the third-level zombie understands the meaning. He was telling him to roll there. If he doesn¡¯t roll, he will continue to beat him. The third level zombie¡¯s ¡°a little angry¡± upgraded to ¡°very angry¡±. Two seconds later, he whispered back, curled up, and gu lu lu rolled out of the mat. Facts have proved that zombies also follow their hearts. After finding the slippers from the shoe cabinet, Bian Bian ran back and saw that Zhu Yuan was already sitting obediently on the floor instead of the floor mat. The old zombie was standing not far away. Both zombies looked at her. It must be grandpa who asked Uncle Zhu Yuan to step out. Uncle Zhu Yuan really listens to grandpa¡¯s words. The little girl sighed with emotion, and automatically ignored the scene of grandpa beating Uncle Zhu Yuan. She put the two pairs of adult male slippers on the ground, took off her shoes, and put them on again. Using this action to teach the two zombies how to change shoes. The little girl looked at grandpa expectantly. However, the old zombie did not immediately change his shoes. After Bian Bian took off the sandals on her feet, a scar was shown on the back of her lovely right instep, which was not big. But because the little girl¡¯s skin was white, the scar looked particularly hideous. There are many such injuries on her body, and she wasn¡¯t even aware how some of them had come to. The old zombie stared at the small scar. Stretching out his hand towards it, his fingers trembling slightly. ¡°Grandpa, what do you want?¡± However, Bian Bian misunderstood the movements of the old zombie, thinking that Grandpa reached out to ask for something from her. The old zombie blankly retracted his hand. He wanted to speak, but he didn¡¯t know how to express it, and what he said came out as roars¡­ It would scare her, it would scare her, it would scare her¡­this thought flashed back and forth into his blank mind. Her injuries, falls, and the scars on the little girl¡¯s instep irritated him. He wanted to check her body for injuries, but he knew that he couldn¡¯t touch her. He would hurt her. She is his most important and precious baby. The treasure that is more important than his life. The zombie that was sitting on the ground felt that this same kind seemed to be sick, even he understood the ¡°tutorial¡± Bian Bian had just given¨Dchanging shoes is much easier than changing clothes. He bent over and reached toward his feet, ready to take off his dirty shoes and change into clean slippers. Unexpectedly, just as he bent down, a fist came towards him, and then he lost control on one of his feet. The third level zombie, who didn¡¯t understand why he was beaten again, was stunned. No, if he stays here all the time, it is possible that he will hurt the baby. He should go upstairs where he usually stays. The old zombie thought vaguely, and then he picked up two pairs of slippers in his left hand, and dragged one leg of the third-level zombie with his right hand, then walked straight out. The third-level zombie, who has nothing left to live,[3] let the old zombie drag him. Completely giving up resistance. Can¡¯t beat him anyway. When the old zombie picked up the slippers and dragged the third-level zombie away, Bian Bian understood that Grandpa will take Uncle Zhu Yuan upstairs to change shoes, just like before. Although she thinks that it¡¯s okay to change here, she must respect Grandpa¡¯s choice. Grandpa definitely didn¡¯t want Uncle Zhu Yuan¡¯s stinky feet to smoke herself. Bian Bian held the glowing magic ball, shook her calf and followed the two zombies. Watching Uncle Zhu Yuan being dragged away by grandpa, Bian Bian felt that Uncle Zhu Yuan seemed a little pitiful this way. The picture was so funny, and the little girl felt guilty for a while¨Dshe should stop grandpa and not let grandpa bully Uncle Zhu Yuan. Huh? Why did she think that Grandpa was bullying Uncle Zhu Yuan? The little girl bit her index finger and felt that it was absolutely wrong for her to think about Grandpa this way. Walking in at the door, the old zombie exerted force on his hands, and the third-level zombie flew like a sack towards the metal wall, followed by the thrown two pairs of slippers. ¡°¡­¡± The third-level zombie corrected his crooked nose. Then, he got up from the ground angrily, picked up the slippers, and aimed towards the head of the old zombie whose back was facing him. After being beaten so many times, shouldn¡¯t he also fight back?! ¡°Uncle Zhu Yuan, don¡¯t hit Grandpa!¡± Standing by the door, Bian Bian could see clearly. She put her hands on her little waist and complained. The old zombie turned his head sharply. The third level zombie, who was holding the slippers, was taken aback. He looked at him, and after a while, he silently stuffed the shoes into his mouth. ¡°Eh, those are slippers, you can¡¯t eat them!¡± The little girl jumped up anxiously. The old zombie turned his head in satisfaction, and when he saw Bian Bian, his tight body relaxed. He raised his stiff fingers, and pointed to the back of the side door. ¡°¡­Ho¡­broken¡­hoh¡­feel¡­¡± He opened his mouth, and the sound of ¡°hoho¡± was mixed with different syllables in difficulty. References CH 40.1 Chapter 40.1 Although Bian Bian didn¡¯t hear it clearly, she understood what grandpa meant. So she obediently, retreated back and waved to grandpa: ¡°Good night, grandpa.¡± After saying that, she yawned. Today, for Bian Bian the workload has exceeded what she can take. She¡¯s been drowsy long ago, so she¡¯s just been suppressing the urge to sleep. After washing up quickly, she lay on the bed with the little bear in her arms. Thinking that Grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan were by her side, she was not afraid to go to bed at night. Grandpa has lost so much weight and he needs to be nourished. Tomorrow, she will boil neinei[1] for Grandpa. Turning off the magic ball, Bian Bian closed her eyes and peacefully fell asleep. This is the first time that Bian Bian has fallen asleep with such peace of mind in the two months that her grandfather has left. Bian Bian kept crying during the first few days of Grandpa being locked up inside the metal wall. She couldn¡¯t help but cry. She was scared and she missed Grandpa. But grandpa said that no matter what sound she heard, she was not allowed to go out. Bian Bian has always been a sensible little girl who listens to grandpa¡¯s words very much. When grandpa said this sentence, his face was not good and he looked uncomfortable, so she kept this sentence firmly in her mind. When Grandpa is by her side, she has a regular routine. She will get up at seven in the morning, and will eat breakfast. After breakfast, Grandpa will first go outside the community to check, and confirm that there is no danger, then he will come back to take her out for a walk, and find some daily necessities on the way. At around eleven o¡¯clock at noon, Grandpa will begin to prepare lunch, while Bian Bian would pack the materials that they had picked up by categories. This has always been her ¡°job¡±, and she likes doing this kind of work very much. After lunch, Grandpa would accompany her to play Lego on the floor mat, and after a while, she would fall asleep while playing. Grandpa would occasionally accompany her to take a nap, but most of the time, grandpa would practice next to her. When she wakes up from sleep, it will be almost time to make dinner. At nine o¡¯clock in the evening, grandpa would tell a lot of magical stories while coaxing her to sleep, and with the longing for those magical stories, she would soon fall asleep. However, after Grandpa left, no one told her stories anymore. She was the only one left in the dark room, with Gray Gray as her only companion. When she is tired of crying, she will fall asleep, no matter how scared she is. Repeatedly, after getting used to that life, Bian Bian will not be so afraid anymore, and it¡¯s no longer easy for her to have nightmares after falling asleep. Consequently, Bian Bian who hadn¡¯t dreamed for a few days, dreamed tonight, and it¡¯s a beautiful one. In the dream, she and grandpa were shopping in the supermarket, and there were many people around. Grandpa said that when there were no monsters before, many people would go to the supermarket to buy things, and there would be everything in the supermarket. She was sitting in the cart, as grandpa pushed her away. When she saw delicious food, she stretched out her little hand and hugged them into the cart. In addition to the delicious food, there are many dolls that are more beautiful than Gray. Just as she was about to get one, she turned her head and caught a glimpse of Gray Gray aggrievedly looking at her. Oops, can¡¯t throw away Gray Gray. Bian Bian held Gray Gray, and firmly rejected those beautiful dolls. Grandpa hugged her and said with a smile, ¡°Our Bian Bian is the most loyal friend.¡± Of course. Bian Bian raised her head triumphantly. ¡­¡­ A tall and slender figure was sitting on the side of the small bed. Nong Jiusi watched the white bubbles that appeared from the head of the sleeping little one with interest. All the dreams that Bian Bian was having appeared in the circle of white bubbles, which let him see clearly. He has been online for a while. As soon as he logged in, he encountered the little girl falling to the ground. It was too late for him to stop her from falling, so Nong Jiusi used his feet to support her. He entered the game after a few days of not being online, and found that the plot of the game had moved far beyond his expectation. There were two more zombies in the room, and it seemed that the little girl got along well with the two zombies. Fortunately, the system came out at this moment and explained the reason in a few words, which allowed Nong Jiusi to figure out what happened. ¡°When I don¡¯t log in to the game for a period of time, will the plot of the game be automatically updated?¡± The system didn¡¯t say anything. Anyway, speaking too much could lead to more mistakes, so he just let him make up his mind. Sure enough, Nong Jiusi didn¡¯t ask about the plot jump anymore. At this moment, Nong Jiusi looked thoughtfully at the dream that Bian Bian was having. After a while, he suddenly said, ¡°The side task is to make Lu Yu advance to level 5 and restore 10% of his consciousness. How could I complete this task?¡± When the system first proposed this mission, Nong Jiusi refused. He was too lazy to do such a boring side task. Now, he took the initiative to bring it up. The system secretly ¡°scoff¡±:¡¾Lu Yu now has consciousness, so this side task is automatically canceled.¡¿ Nong Jiusi paused, and turned to look at the intimacy value. His eyes half-narrowed: ¡°Then why is the intimacy point still 0?¡± The system slowly popped up a sentence:¡¾As a father, if you want to establish a close relationship with Bian Bian, you must often go online. If you don¡¯t even go online, how can she have a close relationship with you?¡¿ Nong Jiusi: ¡°¡­¡­¡± He could not refute the system¡¯s words. ¡°My lord.¡± Nong Tang walked over, holding a wooden box in his hand, ¡°The magic ball you wanted was delivered.¡± The dragon clan are fond of shiny objects. The magic ball that Nong Jiusi gave to Bian Bian was offered to him. This thing was not essential for Nong Jiusi. Since it can be used as a lamp for the little girl, one is obviously not enough. So Nong Jiusi asked Nong Tang to buy another one. The magic ball has no other function except for emitting light. It is precisely because it only emits light and the manufacturing process is particularly complicated, that there are almost no magic balls on the market. Otherwise, people would not have offered the magic ball as a gift to Nong Jiusi. Nong Jiusi took eight magic balls to get exported, which were purchased at a high price, so it took a few days to get them together. Another purpose of his going online is to send these ¡°lamps¡±. After taking the wooden box, with a light flick of his slender fingers, the lid of the box was opened. Eight small and exquisite magic balls appeared which were neatly placed inside the box. Colorful, and extremely cute. Nong Jiusi commanded without raising his head: ¡°Go get some candy, and bring over Jiusi sword by the way.¡± ¡°¡­Huh?¡± Nong Tang was surprised, ¡°Jiusi sword?¡± Of course he knew that his lord wanted candy and the Jiusi sword. It was precisely because he knew it that he was shocked. Many games now have the function of stuffing things from reality into the game, just to increase the game realism. This is voluntary, whether the players are willing or not. In most cases, there is no player who is willing to put their own ¡®real things¡¯ into the game¨Disn¡¯t that a waste? Because if things are put into the game, it is very likely that you won¡¯t be able to get them back. It¡¯s normal for adults to play a child raising game, and it¡¯s normal to put things into the game. It¡¯s just that the magic balls as well as the candies are not very valuable, but the Jiusi sword is different. ¡°My lord, do you really want to take the Jiusi sword?¡± Nong Tang was anxious, and the two dragon horns on his head couldn¡¯t help but shake a few times, ¡°You[2] forged the Jiusi sword with the hardest piece of dragon scale from your real body.[3] To put it in a game, isn¡¯t it actually somewhat¡­¡± wasting natural resources recklessly. Nong Tang didn¡¯t dare to say these four words in front of Nong Jiusi. Fearing that he would provoke the boss. He now sees that Nong Jiusi¡¯s mood is like that of a member in an ordinary family¨Dthe mentality of a prodigal parent. How many people in the outside world want to buy weapons forged with dragon scales at a high price. However, the dragon clan treasures their own scales. Occasionally, they use their scales to build weapons for their own use, but they will generally not sell them. The weapons forged with dragon scales were unattainable¡­These were not important, the point is that the lord actually wanted to send his Jiusi sword to a game. What a waste! Nong Jiusi casually raised his head. His expression remained unchanged, and he indifferently said: ¡°Any objections?¡± Nong Tang looked horrified. He hurriedly shook his head, and ultimately turned and left with heavy footsteps. After a while, he took the candy as well as the Jiusi sword and returned. ¡°You, withdraw.¡± As Nong Tang exited, he quietly raised his head and saw his own lord putting the candy as well as the Jiusi sword together in the wooden box containing the magic ball. This is the determination to send things into the game. Nong Tang clutched his chest, feeling a little pain in his heart. No, not a little, but very much. After experiencing system disorder once again, and after finally repairing the data with great difficulty, the system watched Nong Jiusi put a box full of things on Bian Bian¡¯s bedside table. References CH 40.2 ¨D¨DThe box was also packed into a gift wrap by Jiusi, with a butterfly knot on the top. Although the system is composed of data, it will be ¡°painful¡± if there is a data error, and it will take more time to check! After putting down the goods, Nong Jiusi bent down slightly, looked at the little one who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and slightly curled his lips: ¡°This box of things can be worthy of intimacy points right?¡± If it still wasn¡¯t¡­ Nong Jiusi raised his finger to poke the little dumpling¡¯s soft face and said, ¡°Then you really don¡¯t have a conscience.¡± It was not until Nong Jiusi went offline that the system finished repairing all the data. ¨D¨DPreviously, it only sent a magic ball, but now it sends a box of things, which greatly increases its workload. Fortunately, this box of things is very useful to Bian Bian and is presented as system bugs, so that the system does not violate the rules. The sword that was forged with dragon scales should be very powerful, right? Bian Bian can use it to defend herself, which was the most ideal. So¡­ the system suddenly felt that No. 2 was pretty good. While Bian Bian was sleeping peacefully, having beautiful dreams, and a mysterious treasure chest appeared by her bedside, in a mansion a few blocks away, Tie Zhi and Zhang Wenxi had just recovered their lives from the grim reaper. The two had just left the office where they were originally staying. They were chased by the zombie beast and they ultimately fled into the bathroom. The process of escaping exhausted all their strength. They fell to the ground trying to recover as much strength as possible. The small space was filled with rapid breathing. ¡°Why are there so many powerful zombies and zombie beasts in this area?¡± Zhang Wenxi touched his arm with lingering fear. Just a while ago, his arm was almost swallowed by the zombie beast. Tie Zhi breathed slowly, while paying attention to the outside. Although he didn¡¯t want to answer Zhang Wenxi, only the two of them were alive now. ¡°They should have been summoned by that fourth-level zombie.¡± ¡°They must be nearby in order to be summoned. There are just too many high-level zombies and zombie beasts around here.¡± Zhang Wenxi said, ¡°Brother Tie, do you think there¡¯s any peculiar existence in this area, which causes the zombies and zombie beasts to advance very quickly?¡± Tie Zhi did not speak. Zhang Wenxi whispered: ¡°Brother Tie, when we leave here tomorrow, we can go to the base and trade the situation here as an intelligence. The base will definitely like this information.¡± ¡°If the base knows that there are high-level zombies and zombie beasts in this area, they will surely send experts over to explore. We can¡¯t deal with that level 4 zombie, but the base can¡­what do you think?¡± Tie Zhi¡¯s eyes flickered, and he glanced at Zhang Wenxi through the faint light outside the window. The latter¡¯s proposal was not bad. The Flying dragon has a certain reputation under Feng Leijie¡¯s leadership, but they are all bad reputations. Now, the flying dragon organization has lost more than 20 members at once. If he wants to rebuild the Flying dragon, it is indispensable to trade supplies with the base. Reporting the situation here to the base should be able to exchange a lot of supplies. He gave an ¡°um¡± to Zhang Wenxi¡¯s proposal. The roar of a zombie beast chasing off its prey was heard outside, causing even the bathroom door to rattle. Zhang Wenxi couldn¡¯t help approaching Tie Zhi and whispered: ¡°Brother Tie, I don¡¯t know if I should say this¡­¡± Seeing that Tie Zhi did not reply, Zhang Wenxi had to take it up by himself. He knew that Tie Zhi had been guarding him, but even if he wanted to attack him, he would not succeed. It was unknown when the zombie beast outside would leave. It was really not safe for them to continue hiding here. The zombie beast might find them at any time, and if they really encountered a life and death situation, Tie Zhi will definitely leave him behind. Since he couldn¡¯t sneak an attack on Tie Zhi, he could take the other party¡¯s ability temporarily and escape from this building alone. Relying on his own strength, he must use Tie Zhi to be able to live tonight. He needs Tiezhi to realize his value, so he will not abandon him when they encounter a dangerous moment. ¡°I think that the person who attacked Brother Jie and Luo Yesheng has always lived here.¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± ¡°That fourth-level zombie was a metal ability user before his death, and the metal gates on the outskirts of the Jinxin community, as well as all the windows of that building has been reinforced with metal protection, which means that the level 4 zombie has been living in Jinxin Community before he was infected.¡± Zhang Wenxi said with great analysis, ¡°If that Level 4 zombie and that sneak attacker knew each other, or they are relatives, all of this would make sense.¡± ¡°Big Brother and Luo Yesheng are going to kill that fourth-level zombie. As the family of that fourth-level zombie, the sneak attacker would certainly not allow that to happen. Moreover, I noticed that the window on the third floor remained open. If I guess right, the assailant was hiding on the third floor.¡± After listening, Tie Zhi said meaningfully, ¡°The analysis is good.¡± Zhang Wenxi laid down his heart, and hurriedly said: ¡°Although my strength is not good, but fortunately I have a good brain that can dispel your doubts at any time.¡± Perhaps they were lucky. The zombie beast outside had a temper and after confirming that it could not find its prey, it dragged its slippery body and left. The two people in the bathroom successfully survived this crisis and ushered in another dawn in their lives. When the two of them fled the area cautiously, Bian Bian who had a night of good dreams, sleeping until she woke up naturally, rubbed her eyes and sat up from the bed. ¡°Good morning, Gray Gray.¡± ¡°Good morning, Bian Bian.¡± The little girl lifted the quilt and got up. She opened the curtains, revealing the bright light. Then, she saw the beautiful gift bag on the bedside table. She was taken aback for a moment, she could be sure that there was no such thing on the bedside table previously. so¡­¡­ After she fell asleep, invisible uncle not only came, but also quietly gave her something? Big grape-like eyes stared at the gift bag closely. The food that Bian Bian received from her invisible uncle before appeared directly. They were not mysteriously packaged like this. The outer packaging was too beautiful, but it makes Bian Bian a little timid. It was an instinctive vigilance against the unknown. ¡°Gray Gray, do you want me to open it now?¡± Bian Bian lowered her head to ask Gray Gray¡¯s opinion. As if she had received some kind of affirmative response, the little girl approached the gift bag with anxiety and curiosity, untying the butterfly knot on it. She opened it carefully, for fear of ruining the package. After removing the beautiful wrapping paper, she laid the paper flat on the bed while slowly opening the lid. ¡°Gray, so many lights!¡± The little girl¡¯s eyes shone brightly. The first thing she noticed was not the candy on the surface, nor the dagger inlaid with many precious stones, but the magic balls. She can¡¯t wait to take out the magic ball. She counted it, and there are eight in total. There are nine of them if she counted the other one, which was equivalent to nine lights. ¡°In this way, Grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan can also use these lamps.¡± Bian Bian held the magic ball like a baby. She ran out of the bedroom, put one on the dining table, one in the kitchen, one in the bathroom, and put another one on the sofa. When it¡¯s all turned on at night, the house won¡¯t be dark at all. ¡°Let¡¯s give the rest to Grandpa.¡± Bian Bian ran out of the door. She perked up her ears, listening to the sound from upstairs, it was very quiet. It was confirmed that Grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan were still asleep, so she returned to the room and decided to wait for them to wake up before giving those lights to Grandpa, lest she wake them up, if she goes up. At this moment, remembering that there were other things in the box besides the lamps, the little girl jumped back to the bedroom. The candies that Nong Jiusi had put into the box were not common even in the Alliance Empire¨Dthe dragons are notorious picky eaters. First of all, the materials needed to make the food that they eat are expensive, and secondly, it must taste good. At the same time, they must satisfy the dragon clan¡¯s aesthetics. Each of these three are indispensable. ¡°Gray Gray, what is this?¡± She picked up a delicate candy package, which contained a candy house that was made up of various chocolates. Although it was only palm-sized, it was made lifelike. No girl can resist this type of dreamlike beauty. And Bian Bian is no exception. Where could the little girl born in the apocalypse see such beautiful candies¨Dthe only candies she had eaten were melted fruit candies. ¡°Are they toys?¡± However, Bian Bian didn¡¯t recognize these as candies, because the carvings were so beautiful. She tore off one of the packaging¨Dwill these toys taste sweet? Smelling the sweetness, Bian Bian began to doubt her guess. She held up the candy house, hesitated for a moment, and finally licked it tentatively. Sweet! It¡¯s candy! Bian Bian¡¯s eyes lit up, she licked again twice. She was sure it was candy, but she was reluctant to take a bite. She then put down the candy house, looked at it eagerly, and said, ¡°When Grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan wake up, we will eat it together.¡± There are good things to share. The little girl¡¯s gaze passed over the candy and fell on the Jiusi sword. ¡°Is this candy too?¡± Bian Bian picked up the dagger. Compared with her small hand, the dagger was a little bigger, but it weighed very lightly¨Da piece of dragon scale is, of course, not that heavy. The scabbard of the dagger was gorgeous, inlaid with countless gems. She leaned close and tried to smell it, however, she didn¡¯t smell any sweetness. She then licked several gems in a row, and there was no taste at all. Bian Bian finally determined that it was not candy. She looked at it carefully. Remembering the fruit knife that she usually used, and then compared the place where the hilt was. She carefully held the hilt of the sword, there were two characters engraved on it, and she naturally couldn¡¯t recognize it. With a soft ¡°clank¡±, the dragger was drawn. The sword¡¯s blade was bright, which can reflect people, like a mirror, showing Bian Bian¡¯s little face filled with amazement. Bian Bian ran out of the bedroom while holding the dagger. She took out the fruit knife before, and compared the appearance of the two ¡°knives¡±. The little girl inevitably liked the new and hate the old,[1] and her eyes turned into crescents: ¡°Gray Gray, now I have two small knives oh.¡± Happy, she subconsciously knocked the two knives on each other. Clang Dang. The fruit knife was broken into two, like tofu. ¡°¡­¡± Looking at the fruit knife, and then at the Jiusi sword, the little girl couldn¡¯t help but flatten her mouth in grievance. References CH 41 Xiu Jin was woken up by the smart housekeeper early in the morning. ¡°Lin Yisan, do you really want to return to the factory and start over again!¡± The seventh prince who was forced to get out of the bed looked at the smart housekeeper in front of him, with an expression that a storm was about to descend. He went to the banquet last night, and halfway through, he was told to accept an interview with the media¨Don charity. This was supposed to be Huan Tianjue¡¯s job, however, Huan Tianjue took the supplies to the impoverished planet. As one of the heads of the charity foundation and a member of the royal family, Xiu Jin must take the interview seriously on behalf of the royal family, In the end, a private celebration banquet became a commendation conference for the Seventh Prince. There were cameras everywhere, and media reporters desperately squeezed in front, just to get closer to Xiu Jin and get first-hand news materials. By the end of the interview and the banquet, it was already two o¡¯clock in the morning when he got home. Thinking that staying up late would damage his skin, the seventh prince hurriedly finished his skin care routine, and then fell directly on the bed. Before falling asleep, he vaguely felt that he had forgotten something, but he couldn¡¯t care less. As a result, he felt that he had just fallen asleep and was awakened by the smart housekeeper. Facing the host¡¯s unkind expression, the smart housekeeper quietly took two steps back. Confirming that the host could not hit him at this distance, he quickly broke the pot: ¡°His Royal Highness, the Third Highness asked me to wake you up.¡± Xiu Jin was stuck in a paste and he couldn¡¯t pull his brain out for a while. He just wanted to beat the smart butler. After listening to the reason, his furious expression became stagnant: ¡°¡­ Third brother?¡± ¡°Yes, Your Highness.¡± The smart housekeeper emphasized, ¡°The third Highness is in the living room, waiting for you to go over.¡± Xiu Jin woke up, and then he became even more angry. He lifted the quilt and stood up: ¡°am I your master or Xiu Yan is your master?! If he asks you to call me, then you call me, he¡­Oh, brother, in the morning, yes, did you have breakfast?¡± The third prince Xiu Yan, who is standing at the door, wore a military uniform. Like a sword out of its sheath that the air around him seemed to become fierce as a result. He looked at Xiu Jin with a smile yet not a smile. Xiu Jin wiped his face and shouted at the smart housekeeper next to him: ¡°What are you doing here? Don¡¯t prepare breakfast yet!¡± The smart housekeeper has long been accustomed to the master¡¯s fickleness and hurriedly left. At the same time, he thought: Fortunately, His Highness came up, otherwise the master will probably turn him into an egg to roll out again. Xiu Jin was afraid of his brother¡¯s expression, and, based on his many years of experience, Xiu Yan coming to see him early this morning is not a good thing. Xiu Yan raised his leg and walked in. Xiu Jin jumped out of bed and couldn¡¯t help yawning, still a little angry in his heart: ¡°Do you know how late I slept last night?¡± He glanced at the time and realized that it was only 7 o¡¯clock in the morning, which means that he only slept for more than three hours. Heavens, dark circles. Xiu Yan said indifferently: ¡°I didn¡¯t sleep at all.¡± Xiu Jin: ¡°¡­¡± So you came to toss me since you didn¡¯t sleep all night?! He resigned to his fate. ¡°My dear brother, if you have matters that need to be settled, please tell me directly, okay?¡± Xiu Jin fiddled with the leaves of a cuilan pot in the room with his fingertips. Seeing Xiu Jin yawning again and again, he shook his head: ¡°Where does Mu Xingzhi live?¡± ¡°Are you looking for him?¡± Xiu Jin yawned halfway through. Wiped away the tears that overflowed from the corners of his eyes due to continuous yawning, and frowned. Xiu Yan let out an ¡°um¡±. Xiu Jin was surprised: ¡°What are you looking for him for?¡± Xiu Yan thought for a while, and then asked, ¡°Have you heard of the magician?¡± ¡°Of course.¡± Xiu Jin snorted, ¡°This guy has been on the celebrity list more often than I did.¡± If this guy hadn¡¯t sneaked up on the NR device he fancied, it would be much more convenient for him to play games and raise his darling daughter. The corners of Xiu Yan¡¯s mouth twitched suspiciously. He pinched his eyebrows, suppressing the urge to give Xiu Jin a beating. ¡°Last night, the magician kidnapped someone.¡± Xiu Jin looked at the third prince in wonder. The magician is known for kidnapping people. It would be strange if the other party didn¡¯t kidnap someone. However, regarding the magician, Xiu Yan shouldn¡¯t be alarmed, since the military department doesn¡¯t care about kidnapping cases. Moreover, the magician kidnapped people, because of some schemes that they cooked up to break the magic kidnapper. He will then broadcast them live, to disgrace the other party¡¯s face. However, he still abides by one point, and that is, he doesn¡¯t hurt people¡¯s lives. This is also the reason why although the magician loves to kidnap someone, he is still sought after by many people. Strong, mysterious, unconventional, and with a unique personal style. No one knows what he looks like and how old he is. It was enough for young people to fill up their brains as much as they liked and regard him as an idol. Although Xiu Jin didn¡¯t want to admit it, in terms of popularity¡­the magician was much better than him. He doesn¡¯t know what eyes those people have, they don¡¯t like the handsome and golden seventh prince, yet they chase after a kidnapper who doesn¡¯t even dare to show his face. Maybe the magician is an ugly old man. ¡°He kidnapped old Bailey¡¯s granddaughter. Old Bailey went into the palace to see father in the middle of the night. Father called me into the palace, giving me two days to find Old Bailey¡¯s granddaughter, and then arrest the magician to bring justice.¡± Xu Yan¡¯s voice was low, and those who are familiar with him will know that he is definitely not in a good mood as of the moment ¡°Wait a minute!¡± Xiu Jin was a little dizzy because of the news from his brother, ¡°Let me digest it.¡± Old Bailey is an earl, who is old enough to retire and live his senior years at home. Xiu Jin has met his granddaughter, who seems to be six or seven years old. She has the impression of being a spoiled little girl. According to the magician¡¯s law of kidnapping people in the past, he generally only kidnaps those nobles or officials with bad morals, as if he was eliminating harm for the people. Even if the magician suddenly goes crazy and doesn¡¯t like people from the Bailey family, he should have kidnapped an adult. What does he kidnapped a girl for? This is the first time that he kidnapped a child. As for how the magician kidnapped people¡­ According to old Bailey, he went to his granddaughter¡¯s room in the middle of the night to see if his granddaughter had the habit of kicking the quilt. As a result, when he entered his granddaughter¡¯s room last night, he found that the bed was empty. He didn¡¯t care at first, since it¡¯s possible that the child woke up in the middle of the night and left the room. However, after searching for a full circle, he still couldn¡¯t find little Bailey. Instead, he found a black card on little Bailey¡¯s bed with the word ¡°borrowed¡± written on it. A card is the magician¡¯s symbol. Every time he kidnaps someone, he will leave a card to indicate that he abducted the person. Old Bailey recognized the magician¡¯s card and was shocked by it. He didn¡¯t understand why the magician wanted to kidnap his granddaughter. He checked the surveillance at home and found that there were no abnormalities at all. His granddaughter seemed to have disappeared from the house out of thin air. Worried that something might happen to his granddaughter, he hurriedly entered the palace to see the emperor. Old Bailey¡¯s son and daughter-in-law sacrificed for the country in an accident. Therefore, the safety of Little Bailey is particularly important. The emperor immediately summoned the third prince, handed the matter over to him, and gave a deadline. Xu Yan, who received this task, was very troubled. He had heard of the name magician, however he did not know the magician at all. To find little Bailey and arrest the magician in a short time was easy to say, however, he had no idea how to carry it out. Before he came back to find Xiu Jin, he had been to Old Bailey¡¯s house. But even with his experience, he didn¡¯t find any useful clues. ¡°¡­So amazing?¡± Xiu Jin got goosebumps when he heard it. But even his brother didn¡¯t find any clue. It¡¯s no wonder that none of those who were freed after being kidnapped, succeeded in catching the magician. Isn¡¯t that¡­he asked Korff to check who bought the NR device, and Korff ultimately found out that it was the magician. Was Korff so good? Otherwise, tell his brother about the magician¡¯s purchase of the NR device? Xiu Jin¡¯s thoughts ran like a wild horse, not knowing where it had gone. Xiu Yan glanced at his younger brother, whose thoughts were obviously wandering beyond the sky. Took a deep breath, and pressed the deep folds of his brows again: ¡°I need Mu Xingzhi¡¯s help.¡± Xiu Jin returned to his senses and finally understood why his brother came to find him early this morning and mentioned Mu Xingzhi. ¡°Mu Xingzhi is only a half fish. How can he help you find the magician?¡± Among the four great nobles, the most low-key were the mermaid clan. They have fewer people than the dragon clan. Mermaids were timid by nature. They live in the mermaid ocean and they hardly engage with the secular world. The reason why the mermaid clan is one of the four nobles is that, the first wife of the emperor, the biological mother of the eldest prince, the third prince, and the seventh prince, was a mermaid. ¨DIf mermaids choose to integrate with humans, they will lose their immortality and they will become real humans. And Mu Xingzhi is the only mermaid who¡¯s willing to engage with the secular world except for the deceased queen for so many years. Through his studies, he became an excellent surgeon and worked in a general hospital. He performed various operations every day, holding a scalpel to bring others back to life. With regards to the relationship, Mu Xingzhi is considered as the Xiu three brother¡¯s cousin. However, even Xiu Jin doesn¡¯t know why. As far as he can remember, the eldest brother and the third brother do not like Mu Xingzhi and they never had any dealings with him. Xiu Jin is a stubborn person with a bad temper. What his eldest brother and third brother didn¡¯t like, he insisted on liking. When he was a child, he liked to hang out with Mu Xingzhi. So when he grew up, he naturally had a good relationship with Mu Xingzhi. ¡°If you want to find the magician, you can go to your friend for ¡°so many years¡± to ask for help.¡± Xiu Jin said, ¡°Nong Jiusi is so powerful, he must have a way to find the magician.¡± Xiu Yan glanced at him. Is Nong Jiusi a brick that he can move if he wants to? Even if he and Nong Jiusi are good friends, the Dragon Clan has their pride and they will not take action easily. Furthermore¡­ If you ask a dragon to fight, it will definitely win. However, that¡¯s not necessarily the case if you ask them to find someone. There is a specialization in every industry. Moreover, dragons are not police dogs. ¡°Ok Ok Ok!¡± Frightened by his brother¡¯s eyes, Xiu Jin had to turn on his photon computer,[1] feeling annoyed in his heart, ¡°I will now contact Mu Xingzhi.¡± While contacting Mu Xingzhi, he asked again: ¡°Why ask him for help? Except for using a scalpel to perform operations on others, where does it look like he can find someone?¡± Among the four nobles, the mermaid clan is the weakest. Even though they have a bit of a fighting power in the sea, however, who fights in the sea these days? ¡°There was a faint smell of the sea in the room of the crime scene. The magician had been to the beach before kidnapping people.¡± Xiu Yan tiredly rubbed his temples. This was the only clue that he found at the scene. ¡°No matter which sea the magician goes, Mu Xingzhi is a merman, and the mermaid clan are the God in the sea,¡± Xiu Yan said with a faint expression, and after a few seconds, ¡°I need Mu Xingzhi to help track him down.¡± ¡°Where are they God?¡± Xiu Jin muttered, ¡°My mother was also a mermaid before, so we are considered half mermaids by law. Then why can¡¯t I breathe in the water?¡± Xiuyan: ¡°¡­¡± My hands are a little itchy, wanting to beat someone. . . ¡°No one answered. Perhaps he was sleeping, or was still in the hospital performing surgery.¡± Xiu Jin yawned again, ¡°I will send you the address of the hospital as well as his home address¡­ Then what, brother, don¡¯t I need to go with you to find him together?¡± Xiu Yan¡¯s face was expressionless: ¡°What do you think?¡± Xiu Jin¡¯s face suddenly collapsed. When he contacted Mu Xingzhi with his mind essence just now, he suddenly saw a picture of his baby daughter, and he finally remembered what he had forgotten before going to bed last night. He forgot to log in to the game to see his darling daughter! However, Xiu Jin ultimately failed to resist. He had to take Xiu Yan to find Mu Xingzhi. On the other hand, the magician carried the sleeping little Bailey in his hand, then put on the NR device and clicked to start the game. System:¡¾Welcome back.¡¿ ¡°Grandpa, this is the neinei that I made for you. You quickly drink, oh.¡± The little girl stood on tiptoe in front of him to put the cup of milk on the dining table. Her hands shook, spilling a few drops of milk on the back of her hand. The little girl withdrew her hand and licked the spilled milk on it without wasting anything. The old zombie didn¡¯t move. However, the third level zombie behind him sneaked out half of his head, staring at the fragrant cup of milk, ready to move. The old zombie who was aware of it, gave him a fierce look. Then, he carefully picked up the cup, raised his head and drank it, and finally put the empty cup upside down in front of the third-level zombie. Third level zombie: ¡°¡­¡± The magician stretched out his pale fingers, pointing towards Bian Bian, who was covering her mouth while laughing, and shook little Bailey in his hand. The corner of his mouth was slightly hooked. His voice was soft: ¡°I¡¯ll use her in exchange for her.¡± ¡¾The system was frightened and in disorder¡­¡¿ References CH 42 From the very beginning, the system knew that the magician was not easy to deal with, because the aura exuded by this person was just too strange. It was as if he didn¡¯t care about anything, and yet it was as if he wanted to take matters into his own hands, covering the rain and turning the clouds.[1] The system was difficult to describe. It would rather be ¡°beaten¡± by Nong Jiusi than be in contact with no. 3 for a long time. However, the rules selected the magician to become number three. As a system, it can¡¯t do anything about it. It can only try to guide number three to properly rear Bian Bian through the game. Moreover, the system is bound. After all, it¡¯s just a system, and it still has to act according to the rules. It cannot allow the players to realize that Bian Bian is real. As for why it can¡¯t, it doesn¡¯t know. This is the consciousness given by the rules that it has to abide. In fact, it has been thinking about how to distribute intimacy points. Bian Bian doesn¡¯t know that there is more than one ¡°invisible uncle¡±. In her cognition, ¡± invisible uncle¡± specifically refers to number one. Therefore, the intimacy points that she generates can only be fixed to one person, which is number one. Of course, this is unfair to No. 2 and No. 3. No. 3 has just come out, and he hasn¡¯t paid attention to the value of intimacy. However, No. 2 has already paid attention. If the issue of intimacy points is not solved, No. 2 will definitely find the problem sooner or later. The action of no. 2 last night made the system understand that this matter is imminent. But it can¡¯t directly tell Bian Bian that the ¡°invisible uncle¡± that appears on her side was not the same individual. This solely requires Bian Bian to realize it and if the system intervenes, it will definitely be discovered by the rules. The previous conversations between ¡®it¡¯[2] and Bian Bian were at the risk of being discovered. In short, the system also has its own difficulties, but it firmly believes that under its own handling, the several dads can raise Bian Bian without intervention from each other. Such a cute and sensible baby, who doesn¡¯t want to put her at the palm of one¡¯s hand to love? Just when the system decided to find a way to cheat, so that no. 2¡¯s intimacy points will no longer be zero, as long as the value is not large, this cheating can still be achieved. In the end, the one who went online early this morning was not Nong Jiusi, whom it had initially thought, nor was it Xiu Jin, but the most unlikely, the magician. Not to mention, the magician even kidnapped a girl and wanted to change Bian Bian with the other party. Just, how did he come up with this terrible idea? Face-to-face substitutions are not something that can be done easily in practice. Nevertheless, he actually wants to exchange people with a player character[3] in the game. Why would he propose such a thing that is even impossible to think about? Or, did he determine that it is not a game, and that Bian Bian is real, and is only presented through a game? In accordance with the magician¡¯s previous performance when it went online, the system suddenly realized that his ability to speculate things was quite good. If this is indeed the case, then even if it must be killed, it should not admit it! Otherwise, it will cease to exist. Once it ceases to exist, the game will automatically disappear, cutting the game connection. For No. One, Two and Three, it is just merely uninstalling a game. Perhaps they may be frustrated for a while because they can¡¯t log in to the game. But for Bian Bian, there¡¯ll be no one that will secretly help her anymore, and that she will face her future life alone. The system cannot accept such an existence. Even if it is composed of data, it has ¡°feelings¡±. The system quickly restores the data that has been disordered due to fright. Regardless of what the magician thinks in his heart, it must pull itself together and firmly deny it. ¡¾Attention! Real life entities cannot enter the game. Player, please do not mention requests that this game cannot achieve.¡¿ The system was a bit annoyed, because the magician¡¯s request was too unexpected, its data had been disordered. In addition, this response seemed to have a feeling of ¡°No 300 taels of silver is buried here¡±,[4] so it secretly prayed that the magician had not noticed this. This sentence made the magician¡¯s eyes half-narrowed. Because he had just kidnapped someone in the middle of the night, he was dressed in a kidnapper¡¯s attire¨D Black clothes of unknown material covered his figure without showing even the slightest bit of skin on his body. He wore a disguise mask on his face that once he puts on, what appears in the eyes of others was an ordinary face. The kind that was so unremarkable it would be left unnoticed when thrown into the crowd. The eyes are the window of the soul. Under the effect of the mask, the magician¡¯s eyes appeared dim and dull, but at this moment, where his eyes are half-narrowed, his dim eyes seem to contain a scathing edge. Like a sleeping lion slowly waking up, signaling the advent of danger. ¡°You mean, non-living objects can enter the game.¡± The magician¡¯s voice became considerably lower. The system: ¡°¡­¡­¡± Thinking about handling the box of things that Jiusi had just stuffed into it last night, the system finally admitted it. ¡¾This game only supports players to send real-world items into the game to assist Bian Bian¡¯s survival.¡¿ ¡¾Hint: Like other holographic games, there is a high probability that the items sent into the game will not be returned. Player, please consider what was appropriate.¡¿ ¡°After so long, it finally didn¡¯t spout nonsense.¡± The magician said meaningfully. The system thought to itself, what does No. 3 mean? Does he no longer think that Bian Bian is real? Does he finally think this game was just a holographic game? It was waiting for the magician¡¯s response. The magician glanced at little Bailey in his hand, and threw her onto the small bed next to him. This was a small hotel that he casually found. ¡°I want to talk to her.¡± Then, the magician made another request. The system heaved a sigh of relief. As long as no. 3 does not insist that the game is real, and needs to exchange Bian Bian with another person, its crisis will be over. It¡¯s normal for players to want to communicate with Bian Bian. Both Xiu Jin and Nong Jiusi have mentioned it, so the system didn¡¯t think much about it. Not realizing that the magician¡¯s ¡°talk¡± and its idea of ¡°communicating¡± are actually different. However, this again involves intimacy points. ¡¾You and Bian Bian don¡¯t have enough intimacy points to communicate.¡¿ ¡°Is that so?¡± The magician¡¯s face which was covered by the disguise mask showed a half smile. ¡°Then what do you want me to do?¡± What¡­ The system hasn¡¯t reacted yet, and suddenly it received an emergency warning: ¡¾Attention! There is a virus invasion!¡¿ For any kind of system, viruses are the most terrifying enemy. The system cannot think about the reason why it was invaded by a virus at this time. There is only one thought left, and that is to eliminate the invading virus and prevent its data from leaking or damaging. The magician has already quit the game and removed the NR device that was connected to an unregistered photon computer.[5] The screen of which displays the game login interface. A small robot stretched out a mechanical arm and kept on tapping the code on the virtual keyboard. The screen was divided into code areas. With the continuous tapping of it¡¯s robotic arm, the codes in the code area ran faster and faster, suddenly¨D A red warning appeared: ¡¾Invasion failed.¡¿ The magician frowned and took a step forward. The small robot hurriedly retreated, giving up its position. Pale fingers replaced the robot¡¯s cold and mechanical ones. If the keyboard had consciousness, the speed of the magician¡¯s fingers would have caused it to go on strike. His fingers¡¯ speed practically formed afterimages, and within half a minute, the warning that the invasion had failed, disappeared. When he thought that everything was going well, the magician¡¯s fingers suddenly stopped. His face turned gloomy in an instant. Staring at the code on the screen, his dark pupils flashed with shocking hostility. The warning¡¾Invasion failed.¡¿appeared on the screen again, not just one, but countless ones, which filled the screen instantly. However, after a while, the magician¡¯s expression regained its calmness. With a tap of his fingertips, he exited the code area, and disconnected it from the NR device. ¡°My lord, do you want to continue?¡± The little robot who retreated to the side opened and closed its mouth, emitting a cold mechanical sound. ¡°No need.¡± The magician smiled leisurely, his voice rarely a bit brisk, ¡°I already know the answer.¡± The little robot doesn¡¯t have a face, so it can¡¯t express a dazed expression. ¡°It is often that what needs to be desperately concealed is the truth.¡± The magician walked back and forth in the room in a comfortable mood, ¡°A game that can connect to the real world is rare and interesting.¡± ¡°I originally wanted to invade the system to take control of the game. If I can realize to shuttle between the two worlds through the game¡­¡± the magician said this, and glanced at the ignorant little robot. It was unknown what he thought of, for he didn¡¯t continue the next words. He turned off the photon computer. At this moment, little Bailey, who¡¯s on the bed, woke up. Rubbed her eyes and sat up. The magician had ten thousand ways to keep her asleep. However, he just moved his fingers, then crossed and clasped them, staring flatly at little Bailey. Compared with the cheap daughter that was given to him by the game, the eight-year-old little Bailey is like a real princess. She is of noble birth. Although her parents died in the line of duty, there¡¯s still the entire Bailey family behind her. ¡°Who are you?¡± Little Bailey opened her eyes and saw neither the familiar bedroom nor the familiar servant. She stood up and looked around in a panic. Then, she met the magician¡¯s eyes. Where has little Bailey ever seen such eyes? Her flustered expression stagnated, and there was an obvious fear on her face. She clung to the quilt under her body, and said in a trembling voice, ¡°I, my, my grandfather is very powerful. If you dare to hurt me, uncle emperor will kill you. You better send me back immediately!¡± Towards the end, she seemed to have gained confidence and was not so scared anymore. She rolled her eyes and whispered, ¡°Uncle, you want money right? As long as you send me home, you can have as much money as you want.¡± The word ¡°uncle¡± sounded inexplicably harsh, causing the magician to frown in displeasure. ¡°If I were you, I would keep quiet for now.¡± He gestured to the little robot, and the latter clicked on his body a few times, turned into a chair and walked over. The magician sat down slowly. When danger comes, animals will have an instinctive reaction, and humans are no exception. Little Bailey obediently shut her mouth. Tears rolling in her eyes. The magician didn¡¯t seem to notice the tears in the little girl¡¯s eyes. He leisurely leaned on the back of his chair and stared at Little Bailey. Neither his attitude nor his demeanor regarded little Bailey as a girl, but rather that of an adult. ¡°Take off the mermaid clothes you¡¯re wearing. In exchange, you can ask me for something.¡± Mermaid clothes are clothes made by mermaids, which were woven from mermaid yarn. They are impervious to winter and summer[6], however they are only useful for girls to wear and are extremely difficult to find. Little Bailey understood the meaning of this sentence, and hurriedly said, ¡°I don¡¯t want your stuff. You send me back.¡± The magician raised his hand and threw a lot of things on the bed. There is a little more impatience between his eyebrows. ¡°Choose one. ¡° Little Bailey thought that the magician threw something to hit her, so she shrank in fright. After hearing what he said, she didn¡¯t even see what those things looked like and hurriedly picked up something, which looked like a mirror and whispered, ¡°I want this.¡± The magician let out an ¡°um¡±, got up and walked away so that little Bailey could take off her clothes. The magician didn¡¯t have any guilty conscience nor was he ashamed with regards to forcing a little girl to exchange with him. It seems that this was just a normal affair in his world. At least, he didn¡¯t directly rob her, which is his kindness already. The dress is a small pink suspenders with cartoon patterns on the front and back, which is very in line with his daughter¡¯s aesthetics. ¡­¡­ After Bian Bian shared the candy sent by invisible uncle to grandpa and uncle Zhu Yuan, she didn¡¯t know if grandpa and uncle Zhu Yuan were full. So she wanted to cook noodles again, however, grandpa stopped her. She hadn¡¯t realized that based on the appetites of the two zombies, if the two zombies were to be ¡°full¡±, the supplies kept at home wouldn¡¯t be enough even for a week. At this moment, Bian Bian saw Grandpa take out some crystals. Counted a few of them then threw it into his mouth and chewed. The little girl was startled at first, and then her eyes lit up. She doesn¡¯t know where Grandpa got those crystals, but there are plenty at home. Bian Bian immediately ran back to the bedroom and directly took out the big box of crystals. Just as she was about to walk out of the bedroom, from the corner of her eyes, she found that there was something on the bed. The little girl hurriedly put down the metal box, and picked up the cartoon suspenders that appeared out of thin air on the bed. Looked around with shining eyes, there was a clear excitement in her soft voice, ¡°Uncle, you came ~¡± References Basically, Du Fu participated in an examination ordered by the imperial court, which guaranteed an official position upon passing the said exam. However, not only Du Fu failed to pass, but also all the students that participated in the examination. It turns out that this was all a ploy by Li Linfu, who was the prime minister at that time, to highlight his political achievements to the then emperor Tang Xuanzong. Lin Linfu wanted to show the emperor that he was competent and all the talented people were selected by him, and there was no other that was more competent than him. Unfortunately, Tang Xuanzong actually believed this lie. This all made Du Fu bitter, so he write poems hoping to have the opportunity to show off his talents and ambitions. With lots of hard work and effort, he managed to save 300 taels (Chinese ounces) of silver. Although he was very happy, he was also worried that someone might come and steal such a large sum of money so he decided to find a ¡®safe¡¯ place. After much pondering, he decided to dig a hole in the corner of his backyard where he can bury all of it. In fear that someone might notice and discover his money, he wrote a big sign that says, ¡°No 300 taels of Silver Buried Here.¡± Then, his neighbor surnamed Wang noticed Zhang¡¯s anxiety and happened to hear him digging. After Zhang went to sleep, Wang came out and under the moonlight noticed the big sign. He already knows what it means. Therefore, he dug the money out and re-covered the hole. Although he was very happy, he was also worried that Zhang might find out his crime. So with the most ¡®brilliant idea¡¯ he too, wrote a big sign that says, ¡°Your Neighbor Wang did not steal it.¡± and put it next to Zhangs. So sorry for such blunder, I¡¯ll be more careful next time.¨q(???)? CH 43.1 Chapter 43.1 Bian Bian, who had just received the treasure chest the moment she woke up, and now the little dress, feels very happy. She can¡¯t wait to share her joy with the invisible uncle. ¡°Uncle, the candy you gave is so beautiful. Bian Bian has never seen such a beautiful candy¡­ Grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan both like to eat it very much, and there are lights. Thank you, Uncle. I will never be scared again at night¡­ ¡­The knife is also very beautiful. Bian Bian likes them very much.¡± She carefully counted with her fingers, and did not mention that the new knife had broken the old one. She was the one who accidentally broke the old knife. It was not the fault of the new knife. After the little girl finished speaking, she waited expectantly for her uncle¡¯s response. However, after waiting for a while, nothing moved in the room. She was a little disappointed: ¡°Uncle, have you left?¡± There was no response. The little girl¡¯s white and delicate face slowly dimmed. From her expression, it could be seen that she was a little uncomfortable, but she was trying her best to suppress it. Looking at the cute little suspenders in her hand, the joy of receiving the gift diminished a lot. Invisible uncle treats her very well. He always gives her a lot of things, and also helps Grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan fight off bad guys. My uncle is not good-looking, so he doesn¡¯t want to see her, but why doesn¡¯t he even want to talk to her? ¡°Uncle.¡± The young and tender voice of a child resounded in the room. Bian Bian folded the little suspenders and put it in the closet, she didn¡¯t plan to change to it now. She then walked out of the bedroom holding the metal box in her arms. The magician stood at the corner of the bed, taking it all in his eyes. His expression was dull. Soon after, he went offline. He thought that he was just a little interested in her because the game connects the two worlds. Human children, these naive and weak species, will die if you don¡¯t pay attention to them. Since he noticed her through the game, he paid a little attention to her in passing. Now, he has more important things to do. The people who were borrowed should also be returned. Little Bailey, who was on the bed, was injected with sleeping pills by the little robot. The magician picked up little Bailey, with obvious disgust between his eyebrows, and then he put something on the girl¡¯s face. In the blink of an eye, the girl turned into a skinny witch. The pale-faced man walked out of the hotel carrying Little Bailey. ¡­¡­ It wasn¡¯t until the magician went offline that the system breathed a sigh of relief. Although it successfully prevented the virus invasion, for some reason, there is always a feeling that the virus was caused by the magician. Feeling that this kind of speculation is too terrifying, the system forced itself not to think too much. As long as the magician does not engage in moths![1] Looking at the lovely Bian Bian, the system¡¯s devastated mood instantly turned refreshing. On the other side, Xiu Jin, who took Xiu Yan to find Mu Xingzhi finally found Doctor Mu who had just got off the operating table in the hospital. Mu Xingzhi was dressed in a simple white coat, his facial features were beautiful but not enchanting. A pair of plain black-framed glasses hangs on the bridge of his nose and a hearing aid also hangs from his neck. He casually inserted his hands in the pocket of his white coat. His temperament is clean and gentle. Despite working all night, the tired man swept away his exhaustion when he saw the Xiu brothers, ¡°How come Xiao Qi is here?¡± Looking at Xiu Yan once again, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes. ¡°Let¡¯s go to my office and talk if you have something.¡± Mu Xingzhi put away his surprise. When they reached Mu Xingzhi¡¯s office, Xiu Jin worried that there¡¯ll be awkwardness between Xiu Yan and Mu Xingzhi. In order to avoid such embarrassment, he decided to utilized a blitzkrieg strategy.[2] However, before he could speak, Xiu Yan¡¯s communicator lit up. Xiu Yan¡¯s people said that Little Bailey was found. Worried about his granddaughter, Old Bailey was fidgeting and was already in tears. He finally decided to go to Little Bailey¡¯s room to wait for Xiu Yan¡¯s good news. As a result, as soon as Old Bailey entered the room, he saw his granddaughter lying on the bed soundly asleep, and there was another magician¡¯s card on the pillow with the word ¡°Return¡± written on it. Old Bailey cried with joy. However, Xiu Yan¡¯s subordinates who were left to guard around Old Bailey¡¯s house felt their scalp went numb, and their backs were cold¨Dthey had been patrolling the house, how did the magician send a big living person back without alerting them? It simply made the old faces of these battle-hardened warriors blush. Hearing the report from his subordinates, Xiu Yan¡¯s body radiated with anger and coldness. Then, he turned around and left. His military boots stepped on the ground, producing a chilling sound. Xiu Jin hurriedly chased him. Since there are people in the hospital, he had to consider Xiu Yan¡¯s background and yell, ¡°Don¡¯t want him to help track it down, huh?¡± The word ¡®Magician¡¯ was hidden. Xiu Yan didn¡¯t reply, his figure disappeared before Xiu Jin¡¯s eyes. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Mu Xingzhi poured two cups of water. One for himself, and the other was pushed to Xiu Jin. Xiu Jin closed the office door. Without concealing anything from him, he explained the situation in a few words, and finally muttered: ¡°This person is too savage.¡± Mu Xingzhi, who roughly understood the cause and effect, shook his head. Seeing him like this, Xiu Jin said, ¡°Do you know the magician too?¡± Mu Xingzhi took a sip of water and smiled gently: ¡°I took over a patient who was kidnapped by the magician before, so I know a little bit indirectly.¡± Xiu Jin let out an ¡°Oh¡±, a little irritably: ¡°Father gave Xiu Yan an ultimatum to catch the magician within two days¡­¡± ¡°Impossible.¡± Mu Xingzhi said decisively. ¡°Why?¡± At any rate, his brother is a military boss, and even the famous Star Pirate gang can be beaten completely. ¡°The magician¡­ Even if your brother knows which sea he has been to, he can only track where he has been to previously. He cannot track his exact location. He should have a disguise item that covers his whereabouts, which can change his appearance and also conceal his scent. So unless he exposes himself, he can¡¯t be found.¡± ¡°Speaking so highly of an ordinary person.¡± If Xiu Yan can¡¯t even catch the magician, wouldn¡¯t it appear that the empire is incompetent? In case the magician wants to kidnap members of the royal family in the future? Mu Xingzhi smiled and looked at Xiu Jin: ¡°Do you think the magician is an ordinary person?¡± ¡°?¡± Xiu Jin heard other meanings from Mu Xingzhi¡¯s words. Mu Xingzhi thought for a while, and said, ¡°At least in my understanding, it is impossible for an ordinary person to come without a shadow and leave without a footprint at will.[3]¡± Xiu Jin was stunned for a moment: ¡°You mean the magician is not a human?¡± If this is the case¡­ ¡°I have to tell Xiu Yan.¡± If you want to catch those that are not human, naturally you have to use non-human methods. ¡°I¡¯m just guessing.¡± Mu Xingzhi sighed, ¡°Except for the Dragons, there was no non-human that dared to be so presumptuous.¡± Even the four great nobles who want to live in the Empire Alliance as ordinary people must strictly abide by the human rules¨DThey cannot reveal their true body in front of humans. Therefore, the Feather Clan and the Mermaid Clan do not engage with the secular world at all. It is better in their own territory as they can be free and unrestrained compared with being with the humans. If the magician is not a human, once he is arrested and brought to justice for the things he did, the four great nobles will ultimately decide whether he lives or dies. If he is a human, it is up to the human race to decide. Of course, on the premise that he can be caught. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter.¡± Xiu Jin rubbed his face. It is Xiu Yan who should have a headache. He is only responsible for looking beautiful and making money to raise the child. Thinking of his darling daughter, Xiu Jin yawned: ¡°I¡¯m going back.¡± ¡°Wait a minute.¡± Mu Xingzhi took out a document from the drawer, ¡°I have something here that needs your help.¡± Xiu Jin was extremely disappointed afterwards. Regret for agreeing to help Mu Xingzhi, so much that he couldn¡¯t play games for the next few days and that he can only go online to take a quick look at his darling daughter. CH 43.2 At the same time, the empire issued a red notice for the magician. The emperor gave Xiu Yan an order to arrest the magician within two days. This changes the previous situation where the need to arrest the magician and bring him to justice is not limited by time. The word ¡°magician¡± is on the celebrity list. Some people admire the magician and regard him as an idol while the others are eager to bring the magician to justice. As a result, many of the magician¡¯s followers who imitated his dressing style were mistaken for him, and were arrested by the guards one by one. In addition, no one knows where the real magician is. Although the number of times that Xiu Jin and the magician logged in to the game has decreased, there¡¯s still Nong Jiusi. During this time, he has been online much more frequently than before, for no other reason¨D¨D Every time he goes online, the intimacy points increase by +1+1. He just wanted to figure out the pattern of how the little girl¡¯s intimacy points have increased for him. Where¡¯s the pattern? However, after observation, the pattern was not found. When giving gifts, although the little one jumps up with joy, the intimacy points is still as stable as an old dog,[1] always +1. ¡°Uncle, I drew a picture, look.¡± Once again logging in to the game, standing in the familiar living room, Nong Jiusi tapped the unusually luxurious wind chime hanging on the wall producing the crisp sound of a bell. The little girl drawing on the table quickly jumped off the chair and turned her drawing towards the swinging wind chime. The wind chime was made by herself, oh. She didn¡¯t know when her invisible uncle would come and go every time. Since the uncle didn¡¯t want to talk to her, she changed her way. Hence, Bian Bian kept thinking about it and suddenly, she thought of the wind chime that her grandfather used to make for her that is made with shells. When the wind blows, it will make a pleasant sound. However, that wind chime that is made of shell was broken. Later, the grandfather and granddaughter came to Jinxin community. They couldn¡¯t find the right materials, so grandpa couldn¡¯t do it. Therefore, Bian Bian decided to make a wind chime, but this wind chime is different from the previous one. Without the shells, Bian Bian used the little animals that her grandfather had folded before and strung them together. If her invisible uncle came, by just tapping it, even if it couldn¡¯t make a sound, at least she would know that her uncle was there when she saw the little animals moving. Bian Bian spent a whole afternoon to complete the string of small animals by herself. Then she let Grandpa hang it on the wall. Although the old zombie was not very flexible in terms of his movements, he can still ask the third-level zombie. With the stiff cooperation of the two zombies, the wind chime that is made of folded small animals was hung successfully. As soon as her invisible uncle came, Bian Bian carefully told him her proposal, but when she turned her head, she received a large package of materials¡­. for wind chime making. In fact, it was gems and diamonds, some colorful dragon scales, plus beautifully shaped small bells. Among them, the dragon scales that came with different colors were asked by Nong Jiusi to Nong Tang from other clan members. The Dragon clan will shed their scales once every 100 years. The shed scales were especially treasured. The clansmen have a large stock of it, and Lord Jiusi made a request. Therefore, every dragon generously gave their scales, and even the Dragon King is no exception. Moreover, in order to show their respect for Lord Jiusi, the dragon scales given by each clansman were the most beautiful, the best and the most flawless. It was even unknown how valuable these materials are. It took Bian Bian two days to make a wind chime. It was unknown where Nong Jiusi got an outline for making wind chimes. If there¡¯s no outline, Bian Bian probably couldn¡¯t make it. With the wind chime, every time it rang, Bian Bian knew that her uncle was there. ¡­¡­ Bian Bian was a little nervous. Her invisible uncle did not come every day, so she cherished every opportunity of her uncle¡¯s arrival. Last time she gave uncle the little animal that she folded herself. This time Bian Bian was thinking of giving her uncle a drawing. Bian Bian couldn¡¯t see where Nong Jiusi was, but she knew that her uncle was by her side, because uncle took away the drawing in her hand. The little girl looked at the drawing paper that was floating midair, and she began biting her fingers nervously. ¡°Uncle, I drew you.¡± She explained expectantly and a little nervously. It would have been better if she didn¡¯t explain. Nong Jiusi looked at the one-eyed scar-faced man in the drawing, and was still thinking about who the little dumpling drew. Upon hearing her explanation, his face turned black on the spot. He looks like this? After being raised for so long, does he look like this in her heart? ! ¡°Uncle?¡± The drawing paper fell lightly on the table. The little girl was very nervous, ¡°Did I draw badly?¡± The drawing is really great. If a five-year-old child can have such painting skills, it can be seen that the child has great talent for painting. Nong Jiusi called with a dark face: ¡°Nong Tang!¡± After a while, Nong Tang, who hurried over with his trembling dragon horns, saw his own lord standing in the projection at a glance. How is this game so popular? Nong Tang felt anxious: ¡°My lord, please instruct me.¡± Nong Jiusi continued with a dark face: ¡°Go get a camera. The one that can develop a photo immediately after taking a picture.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Nong Tang turned and left. An old green and grayish hand picked up the drawing paper on the table. Grandpa¡¯s fingers were much more flexible than a few days ago. He still wouldn¡¯t let himself get too close to Bian Bian, so after he took the drawing paper, he quickly stepped back. His gray eyes stared directly at the person on the drawing paper. Grandpa stared for a long time, then raised his right hand to cover his right eye, and then looked at Bian Bian, producing a hoarse ¡°ho ho¡± sound with a little joy. Bian Bian tilted her head and thought about the meaning of Grandpa¡¯s actions. Then, she honestly shook her little head: ¡°Grandpa, I didn¡¯t draw you, it is uncle oh.¡± The old zombie put down his right hand. Put the drawing paper back on the table in a gloomy manner, and then turned and walked towards the window. Motionless. Downstairs, the third level zombie was picking trash while holding the iron bucket. Recently, the third level zombie like this kind of walking style exercise. As long as he¡¯s not close to Bian Bian, the old zombie will not pay attention to his whereabouts. However, the scope of the third-level zombie in picking up trash is only limited to this area. He will then return at meal time. Sometimes he will bring back a handful of crystals. Sometimes a picture album with designs, and occasionally some live, ordinary mice will be brought back, which were put in the iron bucket, producing a squeaking sound. The old zombie forbade him from taking out the mice, so the third-level zombie whose protest was invalidated, had to put the mice on the fourth floor. The depressed old zombie roared at the third-level zombie downstairs. The third-level zombie replied unceremoniously. What is he yelling at him for without rhyme or reason? Sick! Nong Jiusi glanced at the old zombie who was standing by the window. His handsome eyebrows raised slightly, looking pensive: Do zombies also feel jealous? The little dumpling drew him, but not Lu Yu, so Lu Yu became upset? Hmm¡­Looking at the one-eyed scar-faced man in the drawing, it became inexplicably pleasing to the eye. Seeing that my uncle didn¡¯t respond, Bian Bian thought for a while. She climbed up the chair once again, and held the paintbrush: ¡°Uncle, wait a minute, I¡¯ll change it.¡± Nong Jiusi: ¡°¡­¡± Even if she changed it, I¡¯m afraid, I still won¡¯t look like this. ¡°My lord, the camera is here.¡± Nong Tang hurriedly returned. With a click, a photo came out fresh out of the oven.[2] Lord Jiusi¡¯s slender fingers clamped the photo. Looked down and admired it for a moment, and then stuffed the photo in front of the little dumpling with satisfaction. Let her see what her father looks like. However, when Bian Bian saw it, the handsome man in the photo disappeared like a cloud of smoke. Leaving only a blank background. Lord Jiusi: ¡°¡­¡± Bian Bian¡¯s head was full of question marks. References CH 44 Little Bian Bian has been a bit troubled recently. Anyone can be troubled, regardless of age. Moreover, she can only share this distress with the little bear. However, the little bear is not a real person, it can only be regarded as her spiritual support. Therefore, her distress still cannot be resolved. ¡°Gray Gray, after my uncle came today, he didn¡¯t pull the wind chime. But I clearly made an agreement with him that he would pull the wind chime whenever he came.¡± Bian Bian put the little bear on the sofa while she sat cross-legged on the floor mat, facing the little bear¡¯s dull eyes. If it weren¡¯t for the extra big apple, the organic mineral water on the table, as well as the other food that her uncle gave before, she wouldn¡¯t have known that her uncle was here. The first time, Bian Bian thought that her uncle had forgot, but the second time that her uncle came, he still didn¡¯t pull the wind chime. In her doubt, when her uncle came again, he however, pulled the wind chime. Hence, Bian Bian felt that her invisible uncle most likely forgot. However, the next day, invisible uncle quietly came again. He put down the same food as yesterday, and added some delicious food that Bian Bian had never eaten before. Shortly afterwards, in the little girl¡¯s doubts, the wind chime will be rang again next time, and occasionally her uncle will give her some beautiful and delicious candies and pastries. After this occasion occurred several times, the little girl started to get annoyed and became distressed. Then, she came up with a guess. ¡ª¡ªBian Bian drinks the milk powder for brain development every day. The efficacy contained in that milk powder affects Bian Bian¡¯s brain all the time. In other words, the already smart Bian Bian will become smarter. Not to mention that a child¡¯s intuition is sometimes the best identification method. ¡°I think¡­¡± Looking at Gray Gray, Bian Bian¡¯s little face was a little uncertain. She was also a little puzzled, ¡°Every time uncle comes here he¡­ seems to be different.¡± Gray Gray looked at her quietly, unable to give any substantial response. Bian Bian, who came up with this guess was not happy. She even had a few hidden fears. Grandpa said that no one will be nice to another for no reason. She initially thought that her invisible uncle was trying to make her fat, and then ate her. Later, with her uncle¡¯s help as well as the various food that he gave her, she overturned this guess. If her guess just now is true, that the uncle who comes every time is not the same person, then why would they do the same thing¡ªbeing nice to her? Survival can make a person grow up quickly without a teacher. Even if Lu Yu had been protecting Bian Bian well before he got infected, the dangerous apocalyptic world made Bian Bian unwittingly learn a lot from Lu Yu. When grandpa is there, the little girl naturally doesn¡¯t think too much. She can live innocently under the powerful wings of her grandpa. However, when Lu Yu became infected, she was the only one left. After spending dozens of days alone in the room, she was bound to grow a lot. Her uncle treated her well for no reason. This unknown reason made her a little scared, which is an instinct of every living creature. This is also the reason why Bian Bian did not directly ask her uncle for confirmation. She was grateful for her uncle¡¯s help, just that she was afraid that her uncle would be angry if she asked. She simply didn¡¯t want her uncle to be angry. So the little girl was a little distressed. It didn¡¯t take long for the child¡¯s distress to be interrupted by the roar outside. Bian Bian hurriedly ran to the window, stepped on the small stool, looked down, and saw her grandfather. Grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan went out today, and Bian Bian actually wanted to go out with them. She had been ¡°staying¡± at home for a long time, so she also wanted to go out for a walk. Since Grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan were both there, she felt safe. However Grandpa stopped her with a roar. Therefore, the obedient Bian Bian had to stay at home. Grandpa held a fluttering pheasant in his hand. Judging from the range of its fluttering and the activity of its wings, it can be seen that it¡¯s an ordinary animal, which is very rare during the apocalypse. Especially in the city. Naturally, Bian Bian didn¡¯t know, but she could recognize that grandpa was holding a chicken. Behind grandpa, the third-level zombie stood not far away, staring straight at the fluttering pheasant. As if he wanted to take advantage when the old zombie wasn¡¯t paying attention to pounce and take a bite of it. Grandpa looked a little impatient. After seeing Bian Bian¡¯s small head above, he exerted force in his hand, and the fluttering pheasant¡¯s wings stiffened. It¡¯s body hangs straight down. Bian Bian didn¡¯t understand what Grandpa meant for a while. Grandpa made a gesture of opening and closing his mouth. After watching for a while, Bian Bian seemed to understand a little: ¡°Grandpa, do you want me to eat it?¡± Grandpa stopped moving and nodded imperceptibly. A low voice sounded in his lips. Bian Bian was puzzled. She thought about it carefully, and came to the conclusion that my grandfather caught a chicken, brought it back and wanted to give it to her, but why hasn¡¯t grandpa returned yet? Does he want her to go down? But she couldn¡¯t cook such big chicken. Looking at her little hands, she felt that it would be too difficult to cook that chicken just like how grandpa used to cook for her. The zombie downstairs roared. As if urging her. ¡°I¡¯ll come down right now, oh.¡± Well, anyway, grandpa is calling her, so she should go down. She jumped off the chair, picked up the little bear on the sofa, as well as the beautiful knife given by her uncle, and ran downstairs. The old zombie, who was carrying a pheasant stood not far from the gate of the community. As if he had come to the gate to pick her up on purpose. ¡°Grandpa.¡± Bian Bian glanced at the pheasant suspiciously. She didn¡¯t expect that after grandpa roared at the third-level zombie not far away, he started to walk forward. After taking two steps, he turned his head and looked at her. After confirming that she was following, he continued to lead the way with peace of mind. Bian Bian had no choice but to follow grandpa. The third-level zombie, who was yelled at a few times by the old zombie,went around three meters behind Bian Bian and followed. The old zombie looked back to see if Bian Bian was catching up, another reason is probably to see if the third-level zombie was being honest. The two zombies walked one after the other, followed by a little girl in between. Not only did they not attack the little girl, but they guard her, who was in the middle, in a protective posture. If anyone saw it, they would definitely be shocked and even feel incredible. How could zombies not eat people and even protect them? Following Grandpa, they walked and walked. Continuously marching on the streets. On the street, Bian Bian¡¯s initial doubts had completely disappeared. She looked around excitedly. Since her grandfather had become a monster, the farthest place that Bian Bian had walked was the Jinxin Supermarket. She didn¡¯t even dare to go anywhere else. After confirming that neither of the two zombies would bite her, when the two zombies went out during the day, Bian Bian wanted to follow. However, grandpa stopped her from following. She didn¡¯t expect that grandpa would take the initiative to take her out at this moment. For Bian Bian, who hasn¡¯t been out for a long time, like a bird released from a cage, everything she sees looks good. Even though she had walked this street with her grandpa many times before. ¡ª¡ªAfter living in Jinxin Community for so long, both grandfather and granddaughter have already explored the surrounding area. Bian Bian has also walked by this street herself. She remembered that there was a kindergarten ahead. Grandpa told her that there were many children studying in the kindergarten in the past. There were teachers that would teach them to read, draw, sing, and dance. They could also make friends in the kindergarten school. Bian Bian listened yearningly. Since she was born, she has been by Lu Yu¡¯s side and has seen many humans, but she has never met people of her age. The people closest to her age that she has ever met were ten years old. In the apocalypse, the elderly and the children were often the least likely to survive. That¡¯s why Lu Yu, who picked up the newly born and discarded Bian Bian in the trash can, this grandfather-granddaughter pair, the old and the young, has been the object of ¡°desire¡± for others for a long time. After all they look very good to chew. Fortunately, Lu Yu is a B class ability user, which allows him to give Bian Bian a relatively peaceful and happy childhood in the apocalypse. The drawing papers and brushes that Bian Bian used were found in the kindergarten, including some pinyin study books, picture books, etc. Unfortunately, Lu Yu didn¡¯t know how to teach children how to read characters. Before the end of the world, he was not a teacher but a lonely old man. After trying a few times, in exchange of little Bian Bian¡¯s confused appearance, he gave up the idea of ??teaching his granddaughter to read. Then he decided to wait till Bian Bian grew a little older, and when his ability advanced to A class. He could then take Bian Bian to the base to live and send her to study. He heard that large bases had established basic education systems. After all, no matter how difficult the living environment is, human beings must still reproduce, and for their race to continue, learning knowledge is indispensable. However, he failed to get up to this point of the plan. ¡­¡­ Soon, Bian Bian saw the kindergarten. It can be seen that the scale of this kindergarten before the apocalypse was very large. There¡¯s even many recreational facilities inside. But now, the kindergarten has been devastated by time. The walls are covered with dark mottled marks, which should be blood that has solidified. Five years ago, the apocalypse broke out on a normal working day. On that day, the children of this kindergarten sat in rows in the classroom and listened carefully to the teacher¡¯s lecture. Then, the virus suddenly broke out. A teacher coughed violently at first, blood spurted out, and fell to the ground. A few seconds later, that teacher stood up, and rushed towards those terrified little faces. ¡­¡­ Before Lu Yu became infected, when he discovered this kindergarten, he took a fancy to the recreational facilities inside. Moreover, his granddaughter could also play here. For this reason, he simply cleaned up the kindergarten. Besides the bloodstains on the wall and some broken desks and chairs, he barely cleaned the kindergarten. Then every time after confirming that the surrounding area is safe, he will bring Bian Bian over to let the little girl experience some of the recreational activities that children often play before the end of the world. Therefore, Bian Bian is very familiar with this kindergarten. The old zombie stopped at the kindergarten¡¯s open entrance. He put the pheasant on the ground, staggered around, walked behind Bian Bian, and stood with the third-level zombie. Bian Bian became confused by Grandpa¡¯s actions. She turned to look at Grandpa. On the other hand, Grandpa raised his finger and pointed towards the kindergarten. Is Grandpa telling her to go inside? The obedient Bian Bian had to pick up the pheasant on the ground, but she held a knife in one hand and Gray Gray in the other. After thinking about it, the little girl very boldly inserted the knife into the waistband of her trousers. Today, she was wearing the small suspenders that her invisible uncle gave and a short stretchable pants, which showed her white little arms and calves. The person looks like a large whipped ice cream, which is particularly delicious to look at. With a free hand, Bian Bian grabbed the pheasant¡¯s neck and lifted it up. Recently, she has become much stronger, and she can lift a few pounds of pheasant with one hand. The little girl slowly walked into the kindergarten. She entered a yard, which had classrooms on both left and right side. Bian Bian didn¡¯t know why grandpa asked her to come inside. At this moment, she suddenly heard a bang from the third classroom on her right. Caught off guard, the little girl was startled, and she became a little scared. As soon as she turned around, Grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan quietly followed in. They squatted behind the children¡¯s slide, not far from Bian Bian. With Grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan¡¯s presence, the fear that Bian Bian felt disappeared. She then carried the pheasant and approached the third classroom curiously. Inside the classroom, a young man collapsed on the podium. He was tightly wrapped in metal pieces, unable to move just like a pupa and even his mouth was covered by a metal piece. Suddenly, he saw a small head peeping from the door. The man banged his head and made a humming sound. Bian Bian glanced at him twice and immediately recognized who this man was. The bad guy who beat grandpa! Regarding the battle that day, Bian Bian didn¡¯t pay much attention to the appearance of others, but she especially remembered the two villains who had been fighting Grandpa. ¡ª¡ªA fat bad guy, and the other is the person in front of her. Feng Leijie was already dead. This person was Luo Yesheng who was seriously injured and is quietly recuperating here. Bian Bian knew that this bad guy was very powerful. If it wasn¡¯t for her uncle¡¯s help, her grandfather would not be able to beat this villain. She looked at the bad guy vigilantly. The metal sheet covering the man¡¯s mouth bounced like a spring, and Luo Yesheng, whose mouth was free, looked at the tender little girl in front of him in disbelief: ¡°¡­You stole my chicken?¡± CH 45 No wonder Luo Yesheng blurted out this sentence, the pheasant in the little girl¡¯s hand was exactly the ¡°pleasant surprise¡± that he had encountered before. Just like a blind cat meets a dead mouse.[1] He was extremely lucky. However, before his hands cooked that ¡°pleasant surprise¡± and stuffed it into his stomach, he was suddenly attacked. The opponent¡¯s attack was very standard. It wasn¡¯t a killer move, but rather an attack to ¡°restrict¡± him. He couldn¡¯t even release his abilities. He didn¡¯t even see who attacked him, he thought his life was at stake. In the end, no one was interested in his life. Just that, his ¡°surprise¡± was stolen. ¡°¡­¡± He was simply doubting his life. When Luo Yesheng escaped, he was seriously injured and could faint any time in his car. The glass of his car has been shattered. If he faints in the car, the zombies will soon find him through following the smell of his fresh blood and chew him clean. At the same time, he is worried about the fourth-level zombie¡¯s retaliation. His big off-road is too conspicuous, so he had to be separated from his car. Fortunately, he encountered an underground parking lot so he drove the car into it. Dark places like the underground parking lot are the easiest hide-out place for zombies. However, if there are zombies nearby, they will already be summoned by the two zombies who were at level 3 and 4. With the help of his car, he was able to leave the zombies behind. In other words, although the zombies are all outside, the parking lot is very safe. However, the parking lot isn¡¯t a good place to recuperate. Luo Yesheng fiercely bit the tip of his tongue, using the severe pain to maintain his waning sanity. He quickly took out the much-needed supplies from the car and put them in a backpack, and then staggered out of the parking lot. The physical strength he exerts was too much, and his body that had lost too much blood experienced a burst of chills for a while. He didn¡¯t have the strength to run too far. He caught a glimpse of the back door of a building next to him, gritted his teeth and turned inside. Only after entering did he find out that it was a kindergarten. He carefully hid in the kindergarten, slowly healing his injuries with crystals. Fortunately, his luck has always been good. He was visited by the God of luck once again. No zombie found that he was hiding here. He survived the initial dangerous period safely in this kindergarten and tenaciously survived. Later, when he recovered his mobility, he should speed up and leave here. However, Luo Yesheng remembered the mysterious man who sneaked an attack to him, and a fire that could not be extinguished kept circling in his chest. In the apocalypse, he has been crawling and rolling for many years, and has suffered many losses before he reached his current strength. In fact, Luo Yesheng has not suffered such a big loss for a long time, but he didn¡¯t even see the face of the enemy. Furthermore, he originally just wanted to fight with the fourth-level zombie. Hoping to break through his bottleneck from such a process, but he almost lost his life instead. The more he thinks, the angrier he becomes. What if the sneak attacker is still in this area? He naively held such thoughts. If he leaves, he wouldn¡¯t know what the mysterious man is. What kind of ability he has, and what class¡­ Afterwards, where would he find the person to take revenge in the future? After checking the supplies, he found that the prepared food could still tide him over for a few days. Therefore, Luo Yesheng decided to stay in the kindergarten while recovering from his injuries and investigate. After investigating, he found that the two high-level zombies had stayed in the Jinxin Community without moving places at all. Luo Yesheng did not dare to approach, for fear of being discovered. He only took a glance from a distance. In the end, for the sake of his own safety, he forcibly marked out the Jinxin Community and prevented himself from going there. He didn¡¯t think that he could survive under the hands of those two high-level zombies by dragging his severely injured body. Until today. He was suddenly controlled by a piece of metal and lost his ability to resist. At first, when Luo Yesheng saw the sudden appearance of the metal sheet that attacked him, he immediately thought of the fourth-level zombie. However, the pheasant that was quickly snatched overturned his guess. If it was that fourth-level zombie, how could it secretly attack him just to grab his pheasant? After discovering him, zombies would only rush to eat him by virtue of their instinct of thirst for flesh and blood. Zombies don¡¯t have consciousness. At the very least, Luo Yesheng hadn¡¯t heard of such cases of zombies regaining consciousness. Luo Yesheng had to exclude the zombies, and kept guessing what stole his pheasant. He even thought¡ªcould it be the mysterious sneak attacker that day? Sure enough, it¡¯s still here. However, new doubts immediately arose. The mysterious sneak attacker that day was hidden in the dark, and he had no intention of leaving him alive. Coming across him this time, he didn¡¯t even threaten his life. Instead, he just tied him up when he was unprepared, just to rob him of his pheasant? The behavior before and after doesn¡¯t make any sense! Luo Yesheng, who couldn¡¯t figure it out, gave up guessing what it was that robbed him of his pheasant. The most urgent task is to regain his ¡°freedom¡± and to no longer keep this posture of being at others mercy. To be honest, the feeling of being wrapped in metal sheets similar to a pupa is a bit hard to take. Moreover, the hard and cold metal piece is nothing like a rope, which he can still find a way to cut. On the other hand, what can be used to cut this thing? Use his own fire ability to melt it? Not to mention that his abilities can¡¯t still be used, even if he can, the fire will melt the metal¡ªhe will be half-burned to death when he regains his freedom. Luo Yesheng was in a hurry, but no matter how anxious he was, it was useless. He had to calm his heart, analyze the situation carefully and think of a way. At this moment, he heard a very soft voice from outside. Is it a person or what? In his turbulent mood, a little girl as white as jade carving appeared in front of him, holding his ¡°pleasant surprise¡± in her hand¡­ ¡°¡­¡± One big and one small looked at each other. Luo Yesheng stared at the tender little girl. The voices in his head kept buzzing, unable to take shape for a while. Therefore, the two sides, big and small eyes, kept staring at each other. Bian Bian is unaware of the twists and turns in his heart. She only had the word bad guy as her impression of Luo Yesheng. But Bian Bian had a smart little head so she quickly understood why her grandpa wanted her to come in with the chicken. She remembered that when this bad guy was fighting Grandpa, his hand would spit fire. She couldn¡¯t handle a chicken by herself, and she couldn¡¯t eat raw meat. Neither Grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan could handle it. The only thing left that could deal with the chicken was the big villain in front of her. As for the reason why Grandpa didn¡¯t directly bring the bad guy to Jinxin Community, but instead grabbed the pheasant and led her over¡­ Bian Bian naturally ignored it. In her eyes, the big bad guy that was caught by Grandpa had become a cook who can make a roasted chicken! ¡°It¡¯s me!¡± Bian Bian firmly admitted with vigor. Facing the big villain who had injured her grandpa, Bian Bian wasn¡¯t polite at all. She tried her best to keep her face straight, and stared accusingly at the villain with her big eyes. Grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan were outside, so she wasn¡¯t afraid. Luo Yesheng: ¡°¡­¡± His tumultuous thoughts slowly calmed down. It¡¯s not that he has never encountered young ability users. It¡¯s just that, those young ability users with strong abilities are generally treasures of the base. They are mainly cultivated by the base and will never be released to act alone. He calmly took a deep breath, and replaced the expression of shock and disbelief on his face with the standard image of an adult coaxing children, and said almost gently: ¡°Little sister, what¡¯s your name?¡± Bian Bian is a polite child. Even if it was the bad guy she hated who asked the question, she still answered honestly: ¡°My name is Bian Bian.¡± Bian Bian? This name sounds a little familiar¡­ Luo Yesheng frowned, then said his name in a friendly way, and asked tentatively, ¡°Is it just you?¡± Seeing her shaking her head, Luo Yesheng¡¯s heart sank. Also, no matter how he looks at her, it doesn¡¯t seem like she lives alone. Luo Yesheng forced a smile and tried to wriggle his body. A layer of discomfort appeared on his face. The young man who wanted to sell his misery found that the person whom he wanted to sell his misery to was indifferent, and he felt a little depressed. Finally, he said in a sullen voice: ¡°Bian Bian, was it you who made me like this?¡± Bian Bian thought about it. It was grandpa who tied the bad guy, and Grandpa tying him up is equal to her tying the bad guy. So the little girl nodded solemnly. Sure enough, she¡¯s an ability user. The reason why Luo Yesheng believed so quickly was because he felt that there was no need for a child to lie to him¡ªhe was just a piece of meat on a chopping board, so what was there to lie about. Moreover, the little girl said that she wasn¡¯t alone¡­ ¡°Bian Bian, where is the person you are with?¡± Letting a child to attack him, robbed him of his pheasant, and hid himself¡­ This deed reminded Luo Yesheng of the person who sneak attacked him in the first place. The young man¡¯s breathing became much heavier. His injuries were only 50% healed. Furthermore, he was wrapped in a piece of metal for so long. After the previous struggle, some wounds on his body split open, causing his face to look much more badly than before. Bian Bian puffed her cheeks, and angrily said, ¡°I won¡¯t tell you.¡± She wants to protect grandpa! Luo Yesheng: ¡°¡­¡± Who said that children are easy to talk to? Children born in the apocalypse are still difficult to deal with! The knife that she stuck in her trouser belt made her uncomfortable. So Bian Bian threw the pheasant on the ground. With her free hand, she took out the Jiusi sword. As soon as the Jiusi sword was taken out, Luo Yesheng¡¯s eyes were immediately glued to it. Then, his temples jumped heavily, and his eyes flashed with uncertainty. He actually felt a terrible danger on a dagger. It was difficult to describe this feeling, as if¡­ what that beautiful little dumpling took out was not a sword, but a giant beast sleeping with his eyes closed. A series of electrical currents flowed through the surface of his skin, causing him to shudder a little. Luo Yesheng shook his head violently and pulled his gaze abruptly. When he lost the image of the dagger in his eyes, the feeling of danger that sent chills down to his spine disappeared, and the fear in his heart receded like a tide. Just a dagger? Was he afraid of a dagger just now? Luo Yesheng¡¯s throat was dry, and when he looked at Bian Bian again, there was a trace of fear uncontrollably. This trace of fear wasn¡¯t directed at Bian Bian, but from the person she was with. This is just a little girl, no matter how powerful she is, her ability is limited. The reason why he was caught is that, first his injuries have not yet healed so his strength has been greatly reduced, and he did not find anyone lurking nearby; the other is that the little girl suddenly attacked. To be able to let the little girl come to see him alone, in addition to the confidence in the little girl¡¯s strength, she also has a dagger in her hand. Intuition tells Luo Yesheng that this sword is by no means an ordinary sword. The fact that a little girl can hold such dagger that seems murderous and dangerous, means that the unknown person behind her will only be stronger than he imagined, and perhaps it¡¯s also here. Did the other party ask her to come forward just to steal a pheasant that he accidentally found? As soon as he thought of this, he saw the little girl pushing the pheasant towards him. As if she wanted to be aggressive, she said with her serious little face, ¡°I¡¯m hungry.¡± However, the voice failed to get rid of its milky sound, so it did not achieve the desired effect. It didn¡¯t sound like an order, but more like a child¡¯s soft request, which makes people unable to refuse her from the heart. Luo Yesheng returned to his senses and looked at the little girl. The fear in his eyes slowly dissipated, and he unconsciously asked, ¡°Bian Bian, how old are you?¡± ¡°Five years old.¡± After saying this, she added, ¡°I am very powerful. Don¡¯t think that I¡¯m easy to bully just because I¡¯m young.¡± She waved the little knife in her hand, by the way. Bian Bian felt that she was doing great at this moment. Luo Yesheng thought to himself: I have yet to ¡°bully¡±. On the other hand, I was put down as a prisoner by you. In the end, who is bullying whom? However, meeting the child¡¯s black and white eyes, it was strange that he wasn¡¯t angry at all. It was probably because he felt that it was useless to be angry. Anyway, the skills were not as good as the others, and he could not even beat a little girl. Not to mention that she had a more powerful family member. Life is already in the hands of the others. What else can he do besides admitting defeat? Unless he doesn¡¯t want this life. Regarding the life that he has struggled to earn, Luo Yesheng still treasures it very much. ¡°Bian Bian, you tied me up like this, there is no way I could cook this chicken.¡± Since the child was hungry then just fill her stomach with food. Luo Yesheng said with a good temper, ¡°You have to¡­¡± Wait¡ª¡ª Luo Yesheng remembered something that he had overlooked. Stealing pheasants to eat meat.. a five-year-old child couldn¡¯t handle a chicken, and neither could the person beside her? Why come here specifically to find him, this prisoner? The other party did it on purpose! After stealing his chicken, they would still use him as a free cook? After all, it¡¯s not too convenient for those who aren¡¯t fire-type ability users to cook¡­ For a moment, Luo Yesheng would rather have no brains. References CH 46 ¡°Bian Bian, give me the small red bottle in the bag.¡± The spacious kindergarten classroom is filled with an enticing aroma of meat that makes one¡¯s mouth water. Between two stools was a roasted chicken that wasn¡¯t too fat nor too thin. After being roasted for a while, it had already shown a golden yellow color that makes one¡¯s index finger move.[1] The oil spilled from the skin fell on the ground and condensed into a small puddle. Luo Yesheng¡¯s body that was previously covered in a piece of metal was now only wrapped around his waist. His limbs were freed, and he could already use his abilities. In fact, if he wanted to escape, he could actually take advantage of this freedom to seize Bian Bian and escape. Yet out of responsibility for his own life, as well as the disparity in strength between the two sides¡ªparticularly the one who was hidden, he did not escape. Furthermore, he, who hasn¡¯t fully recovered from his injuries, may not be able to kidnap people successfully. The other party isn¡¯t an unarmed little girl, but an ability user. Luo Yesheng decided to take one step at a time, and then wait for an opportunity. Therefore, although his limbs were freed in order to be a good ¡°cook¡±, the tight metal around his waist and abdomen was like a warning¡ªif he had any suspicious reaction, the metal sheet would move first before he did something. There is a sink in the kindergarten. Luo Yesheng efficiently plucked the chicken¡¯s hair and cleaned its internal organs, and then used his ability to burn them to avoid being smelled by the zombies. Luo Yesheng had seasonings in his backpack. He brushed a layer of oil on the surface of the processed chicken, and temporarily used a stool in the classroom to build a grill. He then roasts the chicken on it. His right hand is like a gas stove that constantly emits heat that he can control at any time. He¡¯s quite skilled, and at first glance, it can be seen that he¡¯s a barbecue expert. At this moment, he asked Bian Bian to take the chili powder. Bian Bian obediently handed it over. The little girl was already attracted by the barbecue¡¯s aroma. Her eyes are shining brightly and she didn¡¯t even feel hot while waiting for it to be cooked. Moreover, she feels that this big bad guy doesn¡¯t seem so annoying anymore, even though the hair on her forehead is wet with sweat sticking to her face. Luo Yesheng always paid attention to her expression, thinking that now was a good opportunity to talk, he asked again: ¡°Bian Bian, who are you with?¡± Bian Bian answered smoothly, ¡°Grandpa.¡± Luo Yesheng was overjoyed. Sure enough, it¡®s convenient to ask at this moment. He suppressed his excited heart. His pale face that just had a tinge of blood grew paler. ¡ª¡ªThe continuous input of fire ability on his hand is a lot of consumption for Luo Yesheng, who has yet to recover from his injuries. Fortunately, the needed heat for roasting a pheasant wasn¡¯t too high, so he can still afford it. He continued to speak in a gentle tone, ¡°Why didn¡¯t he come?¡± Bian Bian was annoyed. She unexpectedly mentioned grandpa to the bad guy just now. This time she didn¡¯t say anything. She glanced at Luo Yesheng, moved her feet, and stayed a few distance away from the villain. Luo Yesheng: ¡°¡­¡± He really couldn¡¯t figure out why the little girl looked at him with an expression of ¡°this is a big bad guy¡±. Although he wouldn¡¯t issue his self a good person card, he didn¡¯t commit murder or arson, ok? The depressed ability user took a deep breath and changed his question: ¡°Did you and grandpa have always lived here?¡± Bian Bian continued to look eagerly at the wood of the grilled chicken. It wasn¡¯t polite to not answer other people¡¯s questions continuously, so she took a few steps away from Luo Yesheng before saying, ¡°I won¡¯t tell you.¡± Luo Yesheng: ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Why?¡± He shamelessly asked, ¡°Look, you stole my chicken, tied me up, and even asked me to roast this chicken for you ¡­ I have done all these things. It would be reasonable for me to get angry, but I¡¯m not. Bian Bian, don¡¯t you think it¡¯s unfair for me?¡± Bian Bian didn¡¯t know what fairness and injustice meant, but Luo Yesheng¡¯s words made her suddenly think: This bad guy really doesn¡¯t seem to be angry. ¡°If your grandfather is here, you should ask him to come over so that we could meet and talk.¡± Luo Yesheng turned the roast chicken over, ¡°I can¡¯t beat you,[2] yet you[3] attacked me for no reason and stole my chicken¡­ There should always be a reason, right?¡± He concluded that Bian Bian¡¯s grandfather had used some method to hide. Consequently, it wasn¡¯t told to Bian Bian. It¡¯s a pity that he is destined to have a conversation like that of chicken and duck talk.[4] Bian Bian¡¯s big eyes stared at him, unmoved by his words. What she thought was: You beat grandpa, yet grandpa just tied you up and stole meat. It was already very polite. In the past, Bian Bian used to follow grandpa around. When they meet those bad guys who wanted to play dirty tricks or lay their vicious hands on them, grandpa would teach them a hard lesson. He uses practical actions to teach Bian Bian the concept of repaying kindness with gratitude and revenge for animosity. He wants his precious granddaughter to be kindhearted, but he won¡¯t let her be kind without principle. Therefore, for Bianbian, Luo Yesheng is a bad guy who beats grandpa. Stealing the bad guy¡¯s meat as well as asking the bad guy to do things is just a matter of course, which is also part of her grandpa¡¯s revenge. Luo Yesheng¡¯s eyes narrowed slowly. Even after what he said, Bian Bian¡¯s grandfather still didn¡¯t show up, and Bian Bian didn¡¯t even say anything. She just looked at him. The expression in her eyes that screams of he was not a good person became more obvious. Right at this moment¡ª¡ª Luo Yesheng suddenly had goosebumps. If he had to describe it, it was as if a cool breeze suddenly blew in a room with a high temperature¡ªit is important to note that in summer, even if it¡¯s windy, it is still hot. Was it an ice ability user? No, it wasn¡¯t an ice-type ability. The ice ability only changes temperature. On the other hand, Luo Yesheng vaguely felt as if he had entered a gloomy, deep, and ice-cold dark world, where he could not even see his fingers. Someone silently arrived. Except for the grandfather that Bian Bian has mentioned, Luo Yesheng couldn¡¯t think of anyone else. In addition, there¡¯s a voice in his heart that says: This is the mysterious person that sneaked up on him and Feng Leijie. It was Bian Bian¡¯s grandfather. He didn¡¯t guess wrong! Luo Yesheng¡¯s breathe tightened, and his hand that had just taken a bottle of pepper seasoning trembled slightly. That person really has the special ability to turn invisible. Although the thoughts in his heart turned, Luo Yesheng¡¯s face didn¡¯t reveal the slightest. Since Bian Bian¡¯s grandfather is a powerful ability user, and also has the ability to become invisible, regardless of the other party¡¯s motive to sneak an attack before, he can¡¯t afford to offend him. So he must temporarily swallow his anger. ¡°Was it Bian Bian¡¯s grandpa?¡± Luo Yesheng tried to keep himself calm, ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Luo Yesheng, I think¡­ there may be some misunderstanding between us.¡± Bian Bian, who was staring closely at the grilled chicken in fear of being burnt by the bad guy, heard Luo Yesheng¡¯s words, so she hurriedly raised her little face and looked at the door. Grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan didn¡¯t come in. So who is the bad guy talking to? She quietly turned her head and saw the bad guy sitting on the ground. She suddenly didn¡¯t want to stay here any longer to continue being with the bad guy. Immediately afterwards, there was a loud noise in the classroom, ¡°screeechh¡±¡ªit was the harsh sound of the stool legs rubbing against the ground. Bian Bian followed the sound and saw that the stool closest to her was moving. It¡¯s my uncle! Invisible uncle came. Don¡¯t know which uncle it was¡­ This thought flashed in the little girl¡¯s mind subconsciously. Although Luo Yesheng was staring at the direction of the stool, he did not let Bian Bian¡¯s reaction slip by from the corner of his eyes. Seeing her tender face full of joy, he was certain that the person who came was definitely her grandfather. His throat was a little dry. He suppressed all his thoughts, and slowly said, ¡°Bian Bian¡¯s grandpa, I¡­¡± Before he could finish what he was about to say, there was a knock on the podium behind him. Luo Yesheng quickly turned his head, only to see a piece of chalk floating in front of the wall panel on the podium, inadvertently writing down a string of words¡ª¡ª Idiot, I¡¯m her father. The ¡°idiot¡± Luo Yesheng: ¡°¡­¡± References CH 47 This sentence shocked Luo Yesheng. Is it dad? Shouldn¡¯t it be grandpa? He looked at Bian Bian uncontrollably. Yes, the little girl didn¡¯t say that there was only a grandfather by her side. The other party appeared but didn¡¯t speak. Instead, he communicated with him by writing. Is it because of some special reason that he couldn¡¯t speak and could only use this way? A new sentence appeared on the blackboard: ¡°Do your job well, and your life will be spared.¡± The straightforward words made Luo Yesheng¡¯s eyes turn cold. His heart was full of anger. On the account that it wasn¡¯t good to vent his anger in front of the little girl, he should bear it with a good temper. Now, the true master appeared. However, he was threatened and insulted unceremoniously by the other party. Clay figurines also have three-point earth![1] He paid attention to Bian Bian through the corner of his eyes, thinking about the distance between them. If the other party really wanted to attack him, even if he couldn¡¯t beat him, he could still use the little girl to fight for more opportunities for himself. ¡°I like obedient people.¡± A new sentence was written on the blackboard, ¡°Usually, those who are disobedient become dead in my presence.¡± Luo Yesheng¡¯s pupils shrink, not because of the meaning of this sentence. But¡ª¡ª a terrible murderous intent enveloped him, and it seems that as long as he made any unusual movement, the ending result would be a separation of a person¡¯s head from the body. Luo Yesheng had never been so frightened before. In a trance, he seemed to have fallen into an abyss of 10,000 meters. Experiencing a terrifying pressure and the feeling of suffocation at the same time. The terrifying murderous intent suddenly disappeared, as if it had never appeared before. The flames coming out of Luo Yesheng¡¯s hand flickered and died out. The clothes on his back were already wet with cold sweat. When the murderous intent disappeared, he lightly breathed out a sigh. He clenched his stiff fingers. His strength returned to his limbs, and his stagnant thoughts began to run. Luo Yesheng finally understood that the other party¡¯s ¡°your life will be spared¡± were not casual words nor insults. The other party was just stating an obvious fact. This is the contempt of the strong against the weak. Grinding his back molars, his voice darkened: ¡°Sir, was it you that day?¡± ¡°Any objection?¡± the chalk wrote¡ªthe magician responded to him. Luo Yesheng¡¯s tense body suddenly loosened. The mysterious man who secretly attacked him and Feng Leijie that day was indeed this person. ¡°Why?¡± Luo Yesheng¡¯s question was purely out of doubt. He really couldn¡¯t understand. Bian Bian¡¯s father had such terrifying strength. If he did something to them, why bother to attack them secretly? ¡ª¡ªOf course, Luo Yesheng didn¡¯t know that there were two people from the beginning to end of the battle that day. Xiu Jin didn¡¯t have an NR device, so he could only manipulate the screen to trip people up, which then appeared as a sneak attack. On the other hand,the magician went online in the second half of the battle and directly sent Feng Leijie to the western paradise.[2] The magician was rarely patient: ¡°I¡¯m in a good mood.¡± Luo Yesheng¡¯s face suddenly became difficult to describe. The magician pursed his lips coldly. No one saw the irony in his eyes. Two pale fingers held the chalk: ¡°Doesn¡¯t even understand the law of the jungle?¡± Luo Yesheng said blankly: ¡°I have been taught.¡± Seeing that uncle was talking with the bad guy , Bian Bian obediently kept quiet. On the other hand, Luo Yesheng lowered his eyelashes, ignited his ability, and continued to roast the pheasant that he had not finished cooking. Without saying a word. The classroom suddenly fell silent. Bian Bian looked at Luo Yesheng who had a bad expression, and then at the blackboard. She couldn¡¯t read so she could only hear Luo Yesheng¡¯s words. However, she couldn¡¯t understand what he and her uncle were talking about. The little girl eagerly looked at the blackboard. Thinking that it would be great if she could read, so that she would know what her invisible uncle said. Immediately afterwards, she became happy because of something¡ªit was not that her uncle didn¡¯t want to talk to her, but that he couldn¡¯t talk. If her uncle could talk, he wouldn¡¯t choose to write just to communicate with the bad guy just now. At this moment, a pair of silver bracelets appeared out of thin air, one fell into BIan Bian¡¯s arms and the other was thrown at Luo Yesheng. The magician wrote with the chalk: ¡°Put it on, and tell her to put it on too.¡± Luo Yesheng held the bracelet and couldn¡¯t think of what material it was made of. He couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°What is this?¡± ¡°Just do what you¡¯re told to.¡± Luo Yesheng gritted his teeth and put the bracelet on, on his hand. He didn¡¯t know if his eyes were making tricks but he felt that the bracelet that he just put on the back of his left wrist, flashed with light. He didn¡¯t understand why the magician had to go to the trouble of letting him pass the message to Bian Bian¡­ Forced with the fact that his right to live was not in his hands, he had no choice but to comply. He turned his gaze to Bian Bian who was curiously looking at the bracelet. Normally, he should¡¯ve loathed this little girl by now, however children shouldn¡¯t be involved to adult¡¯s matters. Luo Yesheng said with a complicated expression: ¡°Bian Bian, your dad said that you should put on the bracelet.¡± Bian Bian froze for a moment. Why did the bad guy say that uncle is her dad? She put the bracelet on while thinking about it. Compared with her thin wrist, the bracelet was much larger. However, when the bracelet touched her skin, it automatically shrunk to the size that fit Bian Bian. Then, the silver light flashed. After a while, Bian Bian understood the purpose of the bracelet. There wasn¡¯t a voice that told her, yet she just knew what this bracelet was. ¡¾Reincarnation Ring: This ring is divided into a primary and secondary ring. The wearer of the primary ring can command the wearer of the secondary ring unconditionally. The wearer of the secondary ring cannot disobey the order, let alone do anything that is detrimental to the wearer of the primary ring. The reincarnation ring is suitable to use for owner-pet relationship, hence, it¡¯s also called the pet ring. In order to make its name sound cooler, the creator changed its name to reincarnation ring.¡¿ Probably because she has a magic ball that glows that can be used as a lamp, Bian Bian didn¡¯t show surprise to the reincarnation ring. She just thought that it was interesting. She shook her right hand into circles and looked at Luo Yesheng, who was on the opposite side, so¡­will this big villain be her pet in the future? Just like Bian Bian, when she put on the primary ring, Luo Yesheng understood the function of the bracelet. Moreover, when he looked at Bian Bian at this moment, the first thought in his mind was: absolutely mustn¡¯t hurt her. Luo Yesheng: ¡°¡­¡± Didn¡¯t he just become a dog that was tied around the neck by its owner with a leash?! ¡°What the hell is this!¡± He suddenly jumped up from the ground, practically roaring out this sentence. At the same time, he used his other hand to break the secondary ring, trying to remove it from his wrist. However, the bracelet was tightly attached to his wrist. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn¡¯t move it. ¡°Don¡¯t take it off.¡± Bian Bian put her hands on her waist like a little ruffian. Luo Yesheng moved his hand away from the secondary ring, very obediently. Luo Yesheng: ¡°¡­¡± Bian Bian¡¯s eyes lit up, and she said, ¡°Sit.¡± Luo Yesheng sat on the ground. ¡°¡­¡± No, he didn¡¯t want to! But he couldn¡¯t control his body. Bian Bian seemed to have found an amusing toy. She was about to try it again, but the bad guy¡¯s face looked particularly unsightly, and his eyes were red. Did the bad guy cry? Bian Bian blinked her eyes. Luo Yesheng¡¯s bloodshot eyes were flushed with anger. The little girl naturally regarded such appearance as the villain cried. She realized in hindsight that this kind of behavior didn¡¯t seem to be good, so she subconsciously aborted the ¡°order¡±. ¡°You¡­don¡¯t cry.¡± Bian Bian was a little at a loss, ¡°I won¡¯t bully you anymore.¡± Luo Yesheng almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. ¡°Laozi[3] didn¡¯t cry!¡± He yelled angrily. An adult wouldn¡¯t even be happy being controlled by others. This was worse than killing him. ¡°If you want to kill, kill as you wish,¡± Luo Yesheng turned to the blackboard, raised his left hand, and said coldly, ¡°Of course I understand the law of the jungle, but the weak also have dignity! Either take it off or kill me.¡± Bian Bian anxiously clenched her little hands tightly. Listening to Luo Yesheng¡¯s hoarse voice, she felt more and more guilty, pursed her petal-like lips, and stickily said: ¡°Not right¡­¡± However, before the words were spoken, the magician waved casually. The little girl opened her mouth and found that she couldn¡¯t speak. Bian Bian was puzzled. Then, she saw the bad guy stand up, his body was slightly leaning forward¡ªnot like he stood up by himself, but it seemed that someone had grabbed his neck and pulled him over. Bian Bian looked increasingly bewildered. The magician grabbed Luo Yesheng¡¯s throat with one hand, while holding a chalk in his other hand. The latter could read each word clearly as it was written out, stroke by stroke: ¡°Once the reincarnation ring has been put on, no one can remove it without my permission. Unless, you cut off your own hand.¡± ¡°Do you want to cut it off? It¡¯s possible, anytime.¡± Luo Yesheng trembled. In fact, the hand that was holding his throat didn¡¯t use much strength. However, it seems that his body¡¯s strength has been drained away right at this moment. He stared at the words on the blackboard, and it seemed that each word showed contempt for him. Is this person really Bian Bian¡¯s father? How could he fathered such a pure daughter such as Bian Bian? ¡ª¡ªAlthough Bian Bian had just given him a few orders through the reincarnation ring, Luo Yesheng¡¯s anger was aimed at the magician. Not at Bian Bian. ¡°With a dismembered hand, there would be no reincarnation ring. Just that, I have other ways to make you obey my daughter.¡± the chalk wrote on the blackboard unhurriedly. Every word was written so beautifully that it almost seems strange, ¡°Want to try it?¡± ¡± ¡­¡± ¡°Is it to live a life worse than death, or to be my daughter¡¯s dog? I¡¯ll give you the opportunity to choose freely.¡± Luo Yesheng was thrown back to where he was just now. He was silent for a few seconds. Finally, he smiled a little miserably, and calmly said, ¡°You have a good dad, Bian Bian.¡± Luo Yesheng doesn¡¯t have a mother-in-law¡¯s temperament[4]. Now that he has made a choice, he will not dwell on it any more. Anyway, he survived. If worse comes to worst, he¡¯ll just regard himself as Bian Bian¡¯s nanny. In this way, he¡¯ll feel much better in his heart. Bian Bian was finally able to talk again. Fiddling her fingers, she awkwardly said: ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡­ If you don¡¯t like this bracelet, you can take it off.¡± Although this villain is bad, what she did just now was also very bad. Her dislike for the bad guy does not affect Bian Bian¡¯s guilt for what happened just now. Hearing the little girl¡¯s soft voice, Luo Yesheng smiled bitterly: ¡°I can¡¯t take it off.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll let uncle take it off.¡± It was given by my uncle, so my uncle will definitely be able to take it off. Uncle? Luo Yesheng frowned. ¡°Uncle, I don¡¯t want this bad guy to be my pet. It¡¯s not good¡­¡± Bian Bian trotted to the podium and pulled the magician through the chalk floating in the air. As long as the magician stretched out his hand too, she could pull him. However, the magician just stuffed the chalk in his hand to Bian Bian¡¯s small ones, and took another piece of chalk: ¡°Tell her that I¡¯m her father.¡± ¡°?¡± Luo Yesheng¡¯s gaze fell on the words on the blackboard. Bian Bian continued to pull without giving up, so the magician simply threw the chalk into her hand once again. ¡°Bian Bian, your dad said that he¡¯s your dad.¡± Luo Yesheng said bluntly. He even almost faltered. Could it be that this dad just took office? ¡°¡­¡± Bian Bian wanted to say that she didn¡¯t have a father. But, when she thought of her uncle¡¯s kindness to her, the little girl changed her tune very naturally, and persistently continued the topic just now, ¡°Dad, can you take off the bracelet from the bad guy¡¯s hand?¡± The magician who was in a good mood crouched down and looked at Bian Bian. His dark pupils were like fragmented stars on a cold night. Still cold, but with a little more light. ¡°Dad?¡± Bian Bian sensed a different feeling inexplicably. She raised her little hand and brushed it past the magician¡¯s eyes. The magician gently hooked his lips, stood up and wrote with chalk: ¡°Dispel my daughter¡¯s idea of ??letting you take off the reincarnation ring.¡± Of course, this was written for Luo Yesheng. Luo Yesheng took a deep breath. Calmed his mind, and gently smiled: ¡°Bian Bian, I¡¯ll wear the reincarnation ring voluntarily. You can ask me to help you with whatever you want to do in the future.¡± The villain¡¯s performance from the beginning to end was completely different, and Bian Bian, who had no ability to detect lies for the time being, simply believed what he said. Another sentence appeared on the blackboard. Luo Yesheng frowned, and hesitantly said, ¡°I¡¯ve injured your grandpa and uncle before, so I should atone for it.¡± When did he injure her grandpa and uncle? When the words fell, he saw Bian Bian¡¯s white as a steamed bun face bulged up, and then she glared at him. That bit of guilt and embarrassment disappeared instantly. Luo Yesheng: ¡°¡­¡± The wrinkles between his brows deepened, and some situations that he had overlooked before gradually appeared in his mind, that he would soon clarify. The magician walked out of the classroom door. There were two zombies outside. One was squatting under a bald tree, digging mud and poking ants. While the other with gray eyes is staring at the door of the classroom, resembling a stone carved statue. ¡°The brains of the zombies are even more useless than that of a good-for-nothing.¡± With the magician¡¯s almost mean comment, it was unknown whether he was talking about Lu Yu or Zhu Yuan. Anyway, fortunately they couldn¡¯t hear it. ¡°Do you think that temporarily restricting Luo Yesheng¡¯s freedom and letting Bian Bian go in alone, without you following, would let Luo Yesheng become obedient because Bian Bian doesn¡¯t seem so aggressive?¡± ¡°Are you worried that your identity as zombies will expose your relationship with Bian Bian? Which would then let Luo Yesheng perceive the danger and escape desperately. Once he escapes, there will be no free cook.¡± ¡°Have you ever thought that if Luo Yesheng really wants to do something, before you could even kill him, the probability of your granddaughter being dragged by him to serve as a scapegoat is as high as 90%. Even if she doesn¡¯t die, she will suffer a living hell.¡± ¡°Idiots.¡± ¡­¡­ Seeing that the pheasant was about to be cooked, the fragrance pervaded the air, scattering everywhere. Bian Bian, who eagerly waited for a long time, cheered. Heavy footsteps came from the door¡ª¡ª Luo Yesheng¡¯s pupils suddenly shrunk to the size of a needle. What did he just see? Those were the two high-level zombies! ¡°Get out of the way!¡± He yelled at Bian Bian. After yelling, he was stunned. He mockingly thought to himself: The baby¡¯s dad is here, it wasn¡¯t his turn to worry. The next second, he heard the little girl¡¯s soft and excited voice: ¡°Grandpa.¡± Luo Yesheng: ¡°¡­???¡± References CH 48 ¡°Grandpa¡± Luo Yesheng took a deep breath and looked at the familiar fourth-level zombie. Then, he saw the third-level zombie behind the fourth-level zombie. He finally understood why Bian Bian would define him as a bad guy. Why Bian Bian¡¯s father attacked them that day. It was all explained. Then¡­ he looked down at the piece of metal on his waist and abdomen¡ªthis is not Bian Bian¡¯s ability, it was made by the fourth-level zombie. But¡­ Why were those two zombies just standing at the door, and still weren¡¯t rushing over like other zombies when they smelled fresh flesh and blood? Judging from their actions, except that they looked no different from other zombies in terms of appearance, they are completely inconsistent with the characteristics of a zombie. No zombie can resist the temptation brought by flesh and blood. They are just living dead. They have no nature at all. There was once a cruel example in a certain base, which led to the downfall of an entire base¡ª¡ª A family member of an ability user was inexplicably infected without being exposed to the source of infection. The ability user not only concealed and did not report the matter, but instead kept the infected family member at home. At that time, the post-apocalyptic world had just begun. The number of powerful ability users weren¡¯t much in the early stage, and the strength of the base was not strong. That ability user firmly believes that even if his family was infected and turned into a zombie, he wouldn¡¯t hurt himself. However, the end result was the destruction of the entire base. This lesson warned the survivors not to believe that their infected family members are still conscious. Infected zombies have no self-awareness. They only have the most basic predatory instinct. They have no heartbeat or breathing. Their bodies are rotten and cold, and their nails and teeth contain deadly viruses. Once bitten or caught, a person will turn into a zombie. The fastest would be within a minute and the longest time would be within twenty-four hours. No one will be spared. After stabilizing the situation, the major bases tried to find the source of the virus, and then developed a vaccine. To no avail. The scientific research team is still working hard, yet they still cannot develop an effective vaccine. ¡°This is my grandpa.¡± With the reincarnation ring, Bian Bian was no longer worried about grandpa being discovered by the bad guy. She pointed to the third-level zombie, ¡°That¡¯s Uncle Zhu Yuan. Bian Bian¡¯s little face became serious, ¡°I saw you fighting Grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan together with another bad guy that day.¡± Luo Yesheng opened his mouth. Knowing that he was in the wrong, he couldn¡¯t make a sound. It took a while before he said in a hoarse voice, ¡°They¡­ didn¡¯t bite you.¡± The impact brought by the two high-level zombies on Luo Yesheng was even greater than that of the magician. The magician merely had the strength to crush him directly. While on the other hand, the two high-level zombies¡¯ awareness was too shocking. Could it be that high-level zombies really have consciousness? The strongest zombie he has ever encountered is the fourth-level zombie in front of him, so Luo Yesheng couldn¡¯t find any other reference. Bian Bian was inexplicably proud. She raised her little chest, tilted her little face up, and her big eyes seemed to be sparkling, ¡°Grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan won¡¯t bite me.¡± If Luo Yesheng heard someone say on the road that zombies won¡¯t bite people, he would absolutely scoff 10,000 times to that person, completely unconvinced. But now that the facts are in front of him, he can¡¯t bear not to believe. There are too many things in his mind today. Luo Yesheng, who has not yet recovered from his injuries, had a splitting headache. Finally, he decided not to think about anything. Making his mind empty as a piece of wood. After a few minutes, the roasted pheasant is finally ready. Bian Bian divided the roasted pheasant into several portions. Grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan each had one, and she also had one for herself. The chicken butt part was naturally given to Luo Yesheng. Luo Yesheng ¡°¡­.¡± As for the two chicken legs, Bian Bian gave one for grandpa and the other for the magician. ¡°Dad.¡± The magician was not in the classroom at the moment. Bian Bian, who didn¡¯t get a response, put down the chicken drumstick in disappointment¡ªshe thought that her dad had already left. Luo Yesheng coldly watched as the two zombies gnawed on the fragrant roasted pheasant. The zombies didn¡¯t eat humans, on the other hand, they ate human food like a living person. This picture really subverted his understanding. Then, he noticed Bian Bian¡¯s movements. He asked without batting an eyelid, ¡°Bian Bian, won¡¯t your father be by your side all the time?¡± He sensed that the magician was not in the classroom. ¡ª¡ªThe seemingly non-existent coldness and oppression were gone. Bian Bian nodded. Luo Yesheng wanted to ask again, but the old zombie suddenly roared at him inexplicably. He understood the hidden meaning of this roar¡ªpets should have pets¡¯ self-consciousness. They don¡¯t ask questions to their owners. With a deep sigh, he stopped talking. Bian Bian was eating the fleshy meat, her mouth was full of grease. Finally, she burped happily and touched her bulging belly. The little girl¡¯s eyes bent into crescents, and she hummed a nursery rhyme that only she could understand. It feels really good to eat meat. With Luo Yesheng¡ªthe walking cook, Bian Bian¡¯s quality of life has significantly improved. Luo Yesheng lived in Jinxin Community. After being threatened by the two zombies, he lived on the fourth floor. That is to say, he and the two zombies lived on the same floor. Sleeping at night is terrifying. However, it was confirmed that these two zombies really don¡¯t eat people. Occasionally, when the third-level zombie would drool and express ¡°greed¡± towards himself, it would be roared in return by the fourth-level zombie. Luo Yesheng often spinelessly thought with a blank face: this was probably the sense of security from zombies. As time passed, he gradually understood the little girl¡¯s experience from Bian Bian¡¯s mouth, and also learned that Bian Bian¡¯s father would not appear often for unknown reasons. Moreover, the father is not her blood-related dad¡ªof course, this was his own conjecture. Consequently, grandpa was infected and became a zombie. She¡¯s too young and she needs normal people to take care of her. Therefore¡­ he was chosen. For Bian Bian¡¯s safety, and to prevent him from having any bad thoughts, they forcibly turn him into a ¡°pet¡±. ¡­¡­ It¡¯s a pity that there¡¯s no one he can consult with. The only person who can talk here is Bian Bian. However, Luo Yesheng generally couldn¡¯t say to the little girl, ¡°Bian Bian, I suspect that your father is not human.¡± That¡¯s right, the more he got along with Bian Bian, the more he felt that Bian Bian¡¯s elusive dad is not a human being. The person is invisible. He couldn¡¯t speak. He can only communicate through writing, and it seems that there¡¯s a weird and scary BGM[1] whenever he appears on the stage.[2] Luo Yesheng also guessed that Bian Bian¡¯s father is a super boss in a certain base. Because of his special ability to become invisible, he found Bian Bian¡¯s existence when he was bored, and raised her as a pastime. This can roughly explain why he only appears occasionally to send some supplies and the like. However, if he¡¯s really a big shot of a certain base, if he wants to raise people, he can directly take people into the base. Is it worthy to make such twists and turns? Come to think of it, some kind of supernatural creature best fits these characteristics. ¡°Uncle Zhu Yuan, the spoon is used to ladle soup. It isn¡¯t food.¡± Standing on the chair, Bian Bian stretched out her hand to pull the arm of the third-level zombie. Luo Yesheng supported her small body to prevent her from falling off the chair. At the same time, he pulled her hand back, and replaced the little girl¡¯s arm. Quickly saving the spoon in the hands of the third-level zombie, to prevent him from swallowing it once again. When Zhu Yuan eats, he will stuff other things into his stomach if they do not pay attention. Furthermore, he has swallowed six or seven spoons. Luo Yesheng never thought that in his lifetime, he would sit and peacefully eat at the dining table with two zombies. Oh, and grab a spoon from a zombie¡¯s mouth. The third-level zombie who has been robbed of the spoon roared unhappily. The fourth-level zombie skillfully slapped him, and suddenly he became honest. Luo Yesheng: ¡°¡­.¡± This scene was unbelievable from the very beginning, but now it¡¯s just normal. He had never seen such a down-to-earth zombie. ¡°Bian Bian, there¡¯s not much food stored at home. I¡¯m going to go a little farther away this afternoon to look for supplies.¡± Luo Yesheng said, glancing at the bracelet¡ªwith this thing, even if he wanted to escape, after more than five meters away from Bian Bian, he would automatically go back. Like a pet that accidentally lost its owner, it will run home by itself following its owner¡¯s scent. However, during this period of time, he received a lot of goods. He generally went through life and death assessments in a row. In addition, Bian Bian generously shared the remaining crystals in the metal box to Luo Yesheng. Among them were third-class fire ability crystals. Luo Yesheng naturally advanced to the peak of B-class, halfway through entering A-class. His strength rose sharply. However¡­ when he advanced to the peak of B-class, Grandpa also had a breakthrough, becoming a fifth-level zombie. He still can¡¯t beat Grandpa. Bian Bian couldn¡¯t feel it, but Luo Yesheng and the third-level zombie could feel the pressure emanating from grandpa¡¯s body. They couldn¡¯t see any special reaction from grandpa, who has broken through to the fifth level. Except for noticing that his stiff limbs are a little more flexible than before. However, Luo Yesheng found that this newly promoted fifth-level zombie was trying to learn how to speak once again. However, it yield minimal results. It was quite hard to understand what he was trying to say. ¡°Let¡¯s go together.¡± Bian Bian finished drinking the last sip of soup, and licked her mouth in retrospect¡ª Luo Yesheng¡¯s cooking skills are quite good, and simple meals can have a distinctive flavor. The quality of life has improved, and Bian Bian¡¯s thin body has been fully nourished. One day a day,[3] and she will soon return to the healthy appearance that her grandpa had raised before. Looking like a jade snow dumpling, which is particularly delicious. Luo Yesheng looked at the jade snow dumpling and subconsciously shook his head, ¡°No. It¡¯s too dangerous.¡± As a pet, he was actually acting as a nanny. After taking care of Bian Bian for a while, as if he had Stockholm syndrome, he took care of Bian Bian showing a ¡°Father figure¡±. Always unconsciously substituting himself into an old father¡¯s mentality. This is a disease that must be cured. Bian Bian said with reason and logic, ¡°I¡¯ll go together with grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan. With more people, we¡¯ll have more power, so we¡¯ll find more food.¡± Luo Yesheng compromised. He can¡¯t disobey orders. An ability user at the peak of B class, a fifth-level zombie, and a third-level zombie. Three powerful guardians. If they can¡¯t even guarantee Bian Bian¡¯s safety, they should relinquish their strength level and report to the underworld. With Luo Yesheng, in addition to improving Bian Bian¡¯s quality of life, their means of transportation has also improved. ¡ª¡ªHe drove the big off-road vehicle that was parked in the underground parking lot towards Jinxin Community, looked for materials nearby, and remodeled the car. It was almost impossible to see that it was an off-road vehicle. On the contrary, it looked like a metal murder weapon. Because of the need to keep their distance, the two zombies usually sat in the back seat, while Bian Bian sat on the passenger seat¡ª Luo Yesheng remodeled the passenger seat into a children¡¯s chair, which was convenient for Bian Bian. Bian Bian was already sitting obediently in the passenger seat. Luo Yesheng raised his legs to sit in the driver¡¯s seat. Who would have thought that his feet would slip causing his forehead to slam against the door¡¯s window. ¡°Hiss¡± Luo Yesheng rubbed his head and sat down. These past two days have been very strange. From time to time, he would bump into something or fall. Although he would not be seriously injured, the pain was unavoidable. He always felt that something was wrong. ¡°Uncle Luo, are you alright?¡± Bian Bian who was sitting in the child¡¯s seat leaned over and looked at Luo Yesheng with her big eyes full of genuine concern. ¡ª¡ªExquisite cooking skills and various attentive care, helping Bian Bian to avoid bumping here and there, leads to Bian Bian¡¯s current disposition. Luo Yesheng was successfully whitewashed, and was promoted from the ¡°big bad guy¡± to ¡°Uncle Luo¡±. Luo Yesheng shook his head to say that he was fine, yet, it was unknown if he had shook his head a little harder, because his head banged against the door. ¡°¡­¡± He suspects that he had a nervous breakdown. References CH 49 Chapter 49 The process of finding supplies was not smooth. The shops and supermarkets surrounding the area of ??Jinxin Community have long been looted and emptied. Only the decaying bodies of those who were defeated remain there. In desperation, they had to move further afield. However, after searching around, there was no harvest. They can¡¯t go back empty-handed. Luo Yesheng¡¯s heart moved, thinking of Flying Dragon¡¯s previous camp¡ª Sunshine Holiday Hotel. The people of the Flying Dragon organization had set up camp at the Holiday Hotel, so there must be a lot of supplies. Now that their leader Feng Leijie has died, as well as most of the ability users in the organization, it is hard to say whether the rest will continue to stay in the Holiday Hotel. Anyway, since they can¡¯t find supplies around the area, they might as well go and have a look. The most interesting phenomenon in the process of finding supplies is that, whenever they encounter some zombie beasts, before they even get close, they will run away in a hurry. If they have mental activities, they¡¯re probably thinking: Damn, is it not good to stay in your own area? Why must you come generously to us? The cause of this situation was, of course, the humanoid zombie expelling device¡ªthe fifth-level zombie. Those of the same kind are more likely to perceive danger and coercion. After Grandpa advanced to fifth level, if there were zombies and zombie beasts within five miles of Jinxin Community, they would hide with their tails tucked between their legs. Further away from Jinxin community, the number of zombies and zombie beasts increased. However, when Luo Yesheng¡¯s modified car passed by, looking down from a high altitude, it could be seen those living dead running away one by one, indirectly mixed with some zombie beast. As if there were ghosts chasing behind them. At first, Luo Yesheng cautiously raised the car window to prevent those who have no eyes[1] who suddenly rushed over, in scaring the little snow dumpling sitting in the co-pilot seat. Later, he found that the little girl was eager to stick her face to the glass window, and she kept looking at the scenery outside. Since there was a fifth level zombie sitting in the car, and there were no zombies who wanted to die again and was stupid enough to come up, he let the car window down. As the glass slid down, Bian Bian excitedly put half her head out and looked at the receding city center. Glancing at the little girl¡¯s curious face, Luo Yesheng thought, what¡¯s there to see? The city has long been dilapidated. From time to time, some broken limbs and bones can be seen. The ground is covered with a layer of coarse sand, and the air is filled with an unpleasant pungent smell. Every place and space reminds the survivors of this suffocating world. However, these images, for a five-year-old child who¡¯s keen on exploring, each brick is a different existence in her eyes. They passed by a shop that used to be an accessory store. The things inside were smashed into a pile. Through the broken window, some dolls hanging on the wall could be seen. Judging from their appearance, they can be restored to their beauty as long as they are cleaned. Luo Yesheng glanced at the ugly little bear that Bian Bian has been holding in her hands, and said, ¡°Otherwise, Bian Bian, do you want to change that doll to a beautiful one?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t want.¡± Bian Bian shook her head resolutely. Hugged the little bear tightly, and bent her eyes, ¡°I have Gray Gray, Oh. Gray Gray is very beautiful.¡± Okay. Luo Yesheng forced himself to withdraw his gaze from the gray bear, deeply worried about the little girl¡¯s aesthetics. The only person who can communicate in the car is Bian Bian. Luo Yesheng said: ¡°Let¡¯s first go to a hotel and take a look. If there are people there, we will exchange crystals for supplies.¡± ¡°If there is no one, we¡¯ll go and look somewhere else.¡± Bian Bian nodded obediently. Forty minutes later, the ironhide[2] monster slowly stopped on the street at the entrance of the Holiday hotel. Obviously, the remaining people of the flying dragon organization have evacuated, which means that these people have also carried all their supplies. Therefore, it doesn¡¯t make much sense to go in and investigate. ¡°There are lots of soft and fragrant quilts in there. We can take them back.¡± Bian Bian obviously knows the hotel¡¯s characteristics and doesn¡¯t want to waste it. ¡°There are also knives, spoons and forks. Uncle Zhu Yuan has eaten several spoons, and there were not many at home.¡± Yes, the hotel is not short of these and they also belong to the category of ¡°supplies¡±. Luo Yesheng drove the car directly to the door. Bian Bian¡¯s little hands were struggling to unbuckle the seat belts. But one big and one small did not rush to get out of the car. After about two minutes, a few zombies hurriedly walked out of the hotel entrance. Bypassing the ironhide monster, and walking away quickly. These are all ordinary zombies with very stiff limbs, but at this moment, they can¡¯t wait to throw their legs up. ¡°Grandpa is awesome.¡± Bian Bian turned around and sent an ¡°awesome card¡± to grandpa, with a very proud tone. The clever little girl had already discovered that those monsters were afraid of her grandpa who was also a monster. So she once again laid the impression in her heart that her grandpa had become powerful again. Grandpa is always the most powerful~ The third-level zombie howled unhappily, staring at Bian Bian with the same gray and cold eyes, as if to say: Why don¡¯t you praise me? It seems that there¡¯s still a bit of grievance. Bian Bian noticed it, and immediately bent her eyes and said, ¡°Uncle Zhu Yuan is also very awesome, oh.¡± From the rearview mirror, Luo Yesheng could see the appearance of the third-level zombie¡ªlike a child that has eaten his beloved candy. The ghost knows why he sees this emotion on the face of a zombie. Then, Bian Bian added another sentence: ¡°But still not as awesome as Grandpa.¡± So Luo Yesheng was fortunate enough to see how a zombie¡¯s emotion changed from ¡°happy¡± to ¡°depressed¡±. ¡°¡­¡± Well, anyway, these two zombies are refreshing his cognition all the time. After a while, Luo Yesheng and Bian Bian entered the hotel. The two zombies followed not far behind. Because Bian Bian wanted knives, forks and dishes, Luo Yesheng quickly pinpointed where the back kitchen of the hotel was, based on his experience. After confirming that the back kitchen was safe, Luo Yesheng beckoned Bian Bian to enter. The back kitchen of the hotel is wide and is divided into several areas. From the traces left on the scene, it can be concluded that this place was used not long ago. Luo Yesheng found a box in a vertical cabinet, and there was an unopened set of tableware in it. All were made of crystal,[3] which was very beautiful. He knocked on the surface of the bowl with his fingers, the sound was clear and crisp. It was a high-quality product with an equally high price. Surviving alone, Luo Yesheng is not particular about material aspects¡ªhe is the kind of guy who can sleep even if he is given a coffin. When he can put delicious food in his mouth, he will eat his fill. As for whether the utensil for holding food are bowls or something else, he doesn¡¯t care. However, after living with Bian Bian for a while, he was influenced by the little girl and became inexplicably ¡°exquisite¡±. When he saw the beautiful crystal bowls, he thought of placing them on the dining table, which is absolutely good-looking. His ¡°little master¡± will like it. If this kind of thing was put in the past, Luo Yesheng wouldn¡¯t want it at all, since it took up space and was useless. Now¡­ he easily stuffed more than ten sets into the supplies bag. ¡°Uncle Zhu Yuan, that can¡¯t be eaten!¡± Bian Bian looked left and right curiously, while the old zombie followed closely behind her. Since advancing to level 5, Grandpa still did not allow Bian Bian to approach him¡ªfor instance, intimate gestures such as pulling his hand or trying to hug him, but the distance between him and Bian Bian has narrowed a lot, and he can almost stand directly behind Bian Bian. With the protection of the old zombie, Luo Yesheng can let the little girl wander around the back kitchen with confidence. Consequently, Bian Bian who was in the process of ¡°treasure hunting¡± saw Uncle Zhu Yuan holding a pot and began to nibble. The little girl was full of helplessness¡ªwhy does Uncle Zhu Yuan like to eat these things so much? The third-level zombie, who was quietly trying to take a bite, discovered that he had been found. So he reluctantly let go of the big pot, and then turned his target to an unused steel wool on the countertop basin, and quickly stuffed it into his mouth while Bian Bian was not paying attention. Then once again pei pei pei![4] spat out. Worse than grass. ¡­ Bian Bian pulled a drawer to open, she saw a pack of brand new cleaning rags and a few packs of plastic gloves. It was obviously not something good, but the little girl was as if finding a treasure. The smile on her little face was blooming like a flower, and she muttered to herself, ¡°This one can wash dishes.¡± In order to make her ¡°treasure hunt¡± more convenient, she gave Gray Gray to grandpa to hold. Probably because of advancement, plus the amount of crystal absorbed during this period of time, the old zombie who have thinned like paper have grown a lot of flesh like Bian Bian. The tall old zombie carefully held the gray bear with his five fingers. His attention was occasionally attracted to the red stitch on the bear¡¯s arm. A strange impulse urged Grandpa to rip that thread off. Because¡­it was so ugly. The drawer that was opened by Bian Bian was the drawer under the kitchen sink, and as she put the ¡°treasure¡± into the bag specially used for storing supplies¡ªthere was a soft ¡°bang¡±. The little girl noticed that there was a small door beside the corner, and the sound seemed to come from behind that door. The third-level zombie was walking back and forth in the back kitchen, making clunking noises from time to time. So it was impossible to determine whether there was really a sound behind that door. Grandpa looked down at the red thread on the Little Bear¡¯s arm once again. This time, he couldn¡¯t hold back and raised his other hand¡ªhis palm was bluish gray, just like that of a dead man¡¯s, and the color of his nails was closer to a dark color¡ªit was only yesterday with the help of Luo Yesheng that the long nails was clipped. After a day, sharp arcs grew again. Grandpa tried to break the red stitches with his sharp fingernails. After Luo Yesheng stuffed a few sets of crystal bowl wares, he began to look for something to eat without any hope. The third-level zombie forced himself into a gap between the bottom of the shelf and the ground. He couldn¡¯t get in after stuffing half of his head. The door was closed. Bian Bian glanced at her Grandpa and at Luo Yesheng, who was on the other side. She didn¡¯t see Uncle Zhu Yuan. A few seconds later, Bian Bian shouted loudly: ¡°Uncle Luo, there is a door here, and I heard a sound inside.¡± There is a sound? Luo Yesheng¡¯s expression froze, and he came over quickly. ¡­¡­ ¡°Huh? Your Highness, she actually did not open the door by herself, how strange.¡± The smart housekeeper passed behind the sofa and glanced at the screen. All the data was clearly displayed, and the smart robot couldn¡¯t help but wonder. Based on his cognition, human beings have an endless desire to explore, and at the same time they have a fearless spirit to find answers despite of danger¡ªor to be more precise, a certain kind of death-defying mentality. Based on his cognition, in such a situation, most people will be tempted to push the door open. ¡°¡­You actually peeped at me playing games?¡± The Seventh Prince, who was concentrating on playing games while lying on the sofa, was startled by the silent mutter of the smart butler. His face was so gloomy that water was about to drip.[5] The smart housekeeper defended himself: ¡°Your Highness, you are wronging me. I didn¡¯t peep, I just passed by. You know, when my eyes are turning, they will automatically scan the situation of the surroundings, and the picture on your screen will be automatically sent to my database. This is not stealthily¡­¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± ¡°Okay.¡± The smart butler shut up obediently, but before shutting up, he said again in a curious tone, ¡°Your Royal Highness, according to past data, every time you played this child raising game it makes you feel very happy. But in the past two days, when you played this game, you got angry up to thirteen times. Why is that?¡± ¡°Roll ! ! !¡± This time, the smart housekeeper rolled quickly. CH 50 When the third-level zombie stopped the action of forcing himself into the bottom of the shelf, the clunking sound in the back kitchen disappeared, and the space instantly became quiet. As a result, the ¡°bang¡± sound from the small door came out clearly. Like something was hitting it. ¡°Don¡¯t get too close.¡± Luo Yesheng pushed the white dumpling[1] back. Frowning at the small door in front of him, with some doubts in his eyes. When he entered the back kitchen to investigate earlier, he found this small door. He pushed the door to go in and saw that there was neither a person nor a zombie inside. He is still very confident in his ability to inspect. Now, suddenly there was a sound¡­ The strong muscles in the man¡¯s shoulders bulged. Facing this unknown situation, he must not lower his guard at any time. With a slight movement of his right hand, a ball of flame came out. Pushing the small door open, the space behind the door is the back kitchen¡¯s place to put miscellaneous stuff. There is no skylight, and the indoor visibility is very low. The flame in Luo Yesheng¡¯s hand becomes a walking ¡°lamp¡±, which dispels the original darkness. The things placed on several iron racks were in a mess. The ground was littered with garbage that could not be distinguished, and the air exuded a cold and unpleasant smell. There is a half-human-tall old-fashioned rice jar in the corner. The surface was covered with dust and fine spider webs. These were exactly the same situation that he had encountered when he came in to investigate before. Nothing more. The only difference was that the rice jar that Luo Yesheng had determined could not contain any zombies made a crashing sound at this moment, and it was precisely because the rice jar was only half a person tall that he subconsciously ignored the possibility that there was something inside. Luo Yesheng could have used his ability to smash the rice jar, but he did not do it in case someone was hidden inside. He raised his voice and said: ¡°Who is it?¡± There was another ¡°bang¡± in response. ¡°Uncle Luo, is it a monster?¡± Bian Bian asked curiously as she came in. ¡°It should be.¡± Luo Yesheng nodded. If it was a person, it should have answered him just now. Luo Yesheng approached the rice jar. As if it sensed that someone was approaching, the ¡°bang¡± sound stopped. The man¡¯s rough palm lifted the wooden board above the rice jar, and the contents inside were exposed in sight. After seeing it clearly, Luo Yesheng¡¯s face instantly turned ugly. ¡°Uncle Luo?¡± Bian Bian wanted to come over. ¡°Don¡¯t come here!¡± Luo Yesheng almost shouted. The frightened Bian Bian immediately didn¡¯t dare to go over. The old zombie¡¯s gray eyes stared at Luo Yesheng¡¯s back. His five fingers moved, as if he wanted to teach this cook¡ªwho dared to yell at his most important treasure¡ªa lesson. But he didn¡¯t do it in the end. In case it breaks, it will not be easy to find another cook again, the old zombie thought blankly. ¡°Bian Bian, you go outside with grandpa and continue to look for supplies.¡± When Luo Yesheng turned his head, his expression had returned to normal. ¡°Oh, okay.¡± Although Bian Bian was curious about the monster in the rice jar, she walked out of the small door obediently. Walking up to the door, she looked back. Uncle Luo seemed to be angry just now. Was it because of the monster in that jar? In Bian Bian¡¯s knowledge, other monsters ran right away when they saw Grandpa. So she was a little curious about the monster that didn¡¯t leave the jar¡ªisn¡¯t that monster afraid of Grandpa? After Bian Bian walked out, Luo Yesheng frowned and looked back expressionlessly at the rice jar¡ªthere was a small zombie inside. Judging from that face alone that has not rotted, she was probably about the same age as Bian Bian¡­ or even younger. The exact age can¡¯t be distinguished on that blue-black face. She had two braided pigtails. The corners of her mouth were stained with dried blood. The dark skin on her forehead was broken, and black blood flowed down, dropping on her long eyelashes. A young zombie. Luo Yesheng had seen a lot of them. He didn¡¯t let Bian Bian come over, one was because he didn¡¯t want to scare her, and the other was¡­ the child zombie¡¯s arms were cut off, and so were both of her legs¡ªin other words, she had her body inside, without her limbs. Like a human swine. While she was alive, her limbs were cut off and she was thrown into this rice jar. This little zombie is so weak that it can¡¯t even make a sound. The crashing sound just now was due to her hitting her head against the jar wall. Even though she smelled fresh flesh, she just opened her gray-black mouth. Five years ago, the end of the world came without warning, heralding the advent of the law of the jungle. In a world where the weak are prey to the strong, there is no longer a normal moral order. Many people are forced to grow up in the sudden cruel apocalypse. Forced to slaughter. Forced to become callous. There¡¯s nothing wrong with that. It¡¯s all to survive. However, there are some people who, after the end of the world¡ª have just escape from calamity,[2] evolved abilities. The expansion of power has fueled the evil in their hearts. Releasing the beasts that were imprisoned in the normal order of the world, thus their hideous claws and teeth pounced on their fellow countrymen¡­ If the little zombie in the rice jar existed before the Flying dragon organization camped in the Holiday Hotel, then she should have been discovered by their people long ago. No normal person would place a small zombie in such an important place as the back kitchen. Excluding this, the answer emerges. This little zombie¡¯s limbs were cut off and she was thrown into the rice jar by the people of the Flying dragon, when she was alive. Maybe as a pastime when they were bored, or because of some other disgusting reason¡­ But along with the death of the leader of the flying dragon and most of their people, the remaining members evacuated the hotel. The little girl who was thrown inside the rice jar was infected and turned into a zombie, and was discovered by Bian Bian. The little zombie raised her head dully. Her turbid gray eyes stared at Luo Yesheng quietly. Luo Yesheng¡¯s fingers paused, and then as if this was common, he stretched out and stuck her slender neck. When his hand approached, the little zombie instinctively opened her mouth to bite. With a click, the fragile neck was broken, and the little zombie¡¯s head drooped limply. After a while, Luo Yesheng walked out of the small door and saw Bian Bian sticking her little butt as her little hand pulled the trouser legs of the third-level zombie. Trying to rescue the stupid zombie whose head was stuck and couldn¡¯t get out. ¡ª¡ªThe head of the third-level zombie was exceptionally stuck. Seeing this scene, Luo Yesheng couldn¡¯t help but raise the corner of his mouth. It was hard to believe that the stupid zombie on the ground was a B class ability user before his death, which was far from the ¡°awesome Uncle Zhu Yuan¡± that Bian Bian has said. Bian Bian¡¯s little face turned red. The reason why Grandpa was not allowed to help is because the little girl was worried that Grandpa would tear off one of Uncle Zhu Yuan¡¯s legs! The little girl who really couldn¡¯t drag, panted and released her little hands. Wiped the non-existent sweat on her head, with an expression of ¡°I tried my best,¡± clapped her hands, and said to the third-level zombie on the ground: ¡°Uncle Zhu Yuan, you should find a way yourself, okay?¡± ¡°Uncle Luo.¡± Seeing Luo Yesheng, the little girl ran over, ¡°What is this?¡± Luo Yesheng held a pendant in his hand. ¡°I got it from the monster with her name engraved on it.¡± Looking at little Bian Bian¡¯s red lips and white teeth, Luo Yesheng glanced at the old zombie again, and some complicated emotions flashed in his eyes. Luckily she had a grandfather who still wanted to protect her despite turning into a zombie. Otherwise¡­ the appearance of the small zombie flashed before his eyes, and Luo Yesheng¡¯s eyes turned cold. He finally remembered why he felt a little familiar when he heard Bian Bian¡¯s name for the first time. As if he had heard it before. At that time, he and Feng Leijie reached a cooperation to come to Jinxin Community. One of Feng Leijie¡¯s subordinate slipped, and said that there was a woman who deceived Feng Leijie in order to protect herself. Providing information that there were supplies in Jinxin Community, and that there was a little girl named Bian Bian¡ªit turned out that not only were there no supplies, there was no little girl either. Instead, they encountered two high-level zombies and ultimately fled in a hurry. ¡­¡­ ¡°Bian Bian,¡± Luo Yesheng said solemnly, ¡°In the future, if you meet people who look like bad guys, remember, by all means, don¡¯t talk to them. Just let¡­ let Grandpa come out.¡± After thinking about it, he felt wrong. Even adults can¡¯t tell whether a person is good or bad by appearance. Let alone a five-year-old girl. Hence, Luo Yesheng hurriedly narrowed the scope: ¡°As long as it is someone who takes the initiative to approach you, you can¡¯t just trust them. You have to be vigilant. If they do anything wrong to you, you let Uncle Zhu Yuan bite him!¡± It is impossible to let the old zombie bite a person. This fifth-level zombie is like an ascetic monk among zombies, and is very taboo about ¡°eating people¡±. Bian Bian frowned and shook her head heavily: ¡°Not good. Uncle Zhu Yuan must not eat people.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Luo Yesheng grinded his back molars, raised his hand and lightly pinched the little girl¡¯s cheeks that felt great to touch. Why is the little girl so sincere? Little did they know that on the other side, the seventh prince who was staring at the screen, gnashed his teeth and glared at his hand. He couldn¡¯t help sliding the screen¡ª A kitchen knife floated up from the corner. Turning left and right, as if aligning the direction, so that Luo Yesheng¡¯s claws could be chopped off! ¡°Who is it?!¡± Luo Yesheng coldly looked over, and a fire ball struck against the kitchen knife that was suspended in mid-air. References CH 51 A few hundred kilometers away from the Holiday Hotel in another city, which was one of the most prosperous big cities in the north¡ªafter the apocalypse, many bases, big and small, were established in this urban area by ability users of various identities. In the end, nine out of ten of those bases fell. Only one base that cooperated with the military remained, and expanded into the largest security base in the north¡ªBeiji.[1] The destination of Chen Jiahe, the transmigrator, is Beiji. After crossing over, she was lucky enough to meet Zhao Jue, a low-level ability user at the beginning of the book, who later met the male protagonist, and successfully advanced to be an A class ability user. She wants to reach the base as soon as possible through Zhao Jue. Find the male protagonist who has not yet become strong, hug his golden thigh,[2] so that she can live safely in the apocalyptic world. Unfortunately, the person offended the Flying dragon organization and was captured by their people on the way to the base. On the other hand, Zhao Jue luckily escaped. After Chen Jiahe, who thought she was familiar with the plot of the original book and therefore possesses the aura of the protagonist, was captured by the Flying dragon, she truly experienced the cruelty of the apocalypse and despaired in purgatory. However, God favored her once again. The woman named An Shuirou, who had the same water ability as her, saved her. She told the other party that she had crossed over. After explaining part of the plot, not long after the pervert Feng Leijie left the hotel with a group of people, An Shuirou took advantage of the remaining ability users in the hotel who were left unprepared and knocked them out with a drug. Afterwards, these people were thrown into the mouths of the zombies one by one. That scene¡­ that scene Chen Jiahe could never forget in her life. The charming and beautiful woman has a soft smile on the corner of her mouth. Like a rose blooming and swaying in the dark night. So beautiful that it makes one¡¯s heart palpitate. She slowly turned her head, and Chen Jiahe was sure that she saw her pale face in the other party¡¯s beautiful eyes. ¡°What? They tortured you. Don¡¯t you feel happy that they ended up like this?¡± the woman said with a smile. Her voice was soft. Chen Jiahe knew that her face was ugly, and her body trembled uncontrollably. In fact, An Shuirou was right. Those scum and perverts deserved it. Seeing them unconsciously being surrounded and bitten by zombies, and then waking up in severe pain, screaming and wailing¡­ She was very happy. The blood in her veins seemed to be heated and boiled by some kind of force, and her whole body became hot. But¡­but¡­ She was afraid of An Shuirou. Right. That¡¯s why she trembled. She couldn¡¯t say anything so she shook her head stiffly. She told An Shuirou that the male protagonist who ended this apocalyptic age in the book and will become the strongest person in this world should still be a nobody in the base according to the timeline. So An Shui said softly, ¡°Then go to the base to find this savior and see what he looks like.¡± Chen Jiahe shuddered, even though she didn¡¯t know why. Perhaps it was An Shuirou¡¯s ruthlessness that was completely inconsistent with her appearance that shocked her. After that, she and An Shuirou went to Beiji together. Chen Jiahe often wondered: Although An Shuirou¡¯s ability is not strong, with her means and scheming, it is not difficult to leave the Flying dragon organization. Why is she willing to stay in the organization and play the role of being weak and helpless? In the end, why did she suddenly believe what she said and killed the others? Until the two of them arrived at the base safely, Chen Jiahe didn¡¯t have an answer. It was not easy to find the male protagonist of the book in such a large base that had already established a system. Then, something happened that made Chen Jiahe very happy¡ª a B class mission was posted on the electronic screen where the base¡¯s missions was released: ¡¾Mission content: Kill two high-level zombies. Mission details: There are two high-level zombies in Jinxin Community, Fuhua District, M City. A fourth-level metal type and a third-level wind type, which were very powerful. Two B class ability users joined forces to kill them but ultimately failed. One died and the other was seriously injured.¡¿ Didn¡¯t Feng Leijie take most of the people to Jinxin Community to kill those two zombies in order to obtain their crystals? One died and one was seriously injured? Who died? Since the base dared to release this mission, it proves that the situation has been investigated. So¡­ was it Feng Leijie who died or another person? Chen Jiahe couldn¡¯t wait to report the good news to An Shuirou. The latter sneered after hearing it, probably mocking her stupidity: ¡°Feng Leijie¡¯s B class upper-level strength, compared to another who is not as strong as him, who has a greater chance of survival?¡± ¡°¡­Anyway, there is a 50% chance.¡± Chen Jiahe gritted her teeth, and then as if asking for confirmation, ¡°Don¡¯t you want Feng Leijie to die?¡± An Shuirou grunted a seductive ¡°hum¡± from her nose: ¡°If you want to think so innocently, then continue to dream.¡± ¡°¡­Have you found the male lead?¡± she asked, after a while. Chen Jiahe lowered her head with an ugly expression, then shook it. ¡°You didn¡¯t just make up a story to coax me, right?¡± An Shuirou smiled movingly. Since she came to the base, this woman, relying on her amazing beauty and profound means, has managed to find a good intellectual job at the base. Living a much more nourishing life than Chen Jiahe. On the contrary, Chen Jiahe¡¯s strength is weak. She is a low-level ability user with a weak ability such as the water element. She has her daily work in addition to using her ability to deliver water to the base¡ªwith her ability, she can only produce less than a hundred catty[3] of water per day¡ªapart from producing water, she has to do other work to get enough food stamps. She didn¡¯t understand, she is also a woman, and she is also a water element. She and An Shuirou even had similar abilities, but not only could she not beat An Shuirou, she didn¡¯t even have the ability to bewitch people. Even if she secretly learns An Shuirou¡¯s way of speaking and behavior, it still doesn¡¯t work. No one paid her account. She walked with An Shuirou as if she was the latter¡¯s maid. She doesn¡¯t seem to even count as a foil. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that she was a ¡°book transmigrator¡±, An Shuirou would have kicked herself away a long time ago. She thought. ¡°Was that a difficult question to answer?¡± An Shuirou, who had not received an answer, approached. Chen Jiahe smelled the refreshing fragrance of her body. Her scalp tingle. She gritted her teeth before saying, ¡°I did not! I¡¯m quietly inquiring about his information¡­ I said that the male protagonist described in the book is cautious and has a strange personality. He is a typical blackened starting point male¡­¡± ¡°What starting point male?¡± An Shuirou interrupted Chen Jiahe. ¡°It¡¯s¡­¡± Chen Jiahe didn¡¯t know how to explain, ¡°He has the characteristics of being a male protagonist, but he is not necessarily a standard good person. For his own interests, he can do murder and arson without hesitation.¡± An Shuirou was noncommittal: ¡°Continue.¡± ¡°So it is important to be careful. We must not let the male protagonist notice that I am looking for him, which will arouse his vigilance¡­ The base is so big, it will take time to find him.¡± At the same time, the electronic screen where missions were released shows that the quest about the two high-level zombies in Jinxin Community of M City has been accepted. ¡°Brother Zhi, someone picked it up!¡± In a corner of the base, Zhang Wenxi excitedly said to Tie Zhi, who was in front of him. After escaping from the zombie beast, the two stumbled back to the hotel and found that the other people in the base camp were dead, and the supplies were also carried away. Tie Zhi almost instantly concluded that it was An Shuirou¡¯s ghost, but apart from yelling ¡°Fuck¡±, there was no other way. So the two went to the base as planned, used the information from Jinxin Community and made a deal with the base to get paid, and temporarily stayed to rest. They always paid attention to the progress of the mission. If someone kills the two zombies, it will be another way of revenge for them. Most of the people living in the base are ordinary people. Some of the ability users joined the base city¡¯s defense army, while some formed their own teams to take the tasks issued by the base. The base will take a cut to the things obtained from the tasks, and at the same time, certain rewards will be issued to the teams of ability users. For ability users, it is useless to kill ordinary zombies and zombie beasts, and the value of the crystals obtained is not high. So their goal is usually those zombies that are above the second-level. The base provides the task, the ability users accepts the mission. The two sides cooperate, saving both time and effort, which is much better than blindly going outside. Of course, the base will not only send out missions to kill high-level zombies, but also other missions such as rescuing survivors. All sorts of things. Everything that can be thought of. This time, the team of ability users who took over the B class mission of killing two high-level zombies is called ¡°Ye Feng¡±[4]. There are five members in the team. All of whom are B class low-level ability users. Consequently, their Captain Bai Wen is halfway through entering A class. What¡¯s even more terrifying is that¡­ he is a dual-type ability user. Even if he faces a middle-level A class ability user, he will not necessarily fall behind. His strength is very terrifying. ¡°That fourth-level zombie is a bit interesting. Even if the captain doesn¡¯t make a move, we will be stable.¡± At this time, the ¡°Yefeng¡± team that took the task was preparing before the departure. In fact, there is nothing to prepare. All B class actual power against a fourth-level and a third-level, coupled with rich combat experience. There is also a big boss like Bai Wen. For them, this task can only be regarded as ordinary. Nothing difficult. ¡°You can¡¯t say that. It¡¯s still good to be cautious.¡± A team member retorted, ¡°Don¡¯t forget, two B class upper-levels fought with those two zombies. One died, while the other escaped with serious injuries. This fourth level, I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s already halfway through entering the fifth level.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t there still Captain?¡± The man muttered at first. His name is Yu Xiaole, he suddenly turned his head and looked at a teammate next to him. This person is not old, with a medium stature, simple and honest facial features. He looks like a good old man[5] at first glance. A month ago, a member of the ¡°Ye Feng¡± team died while on a mission, so they recruited people and thus, recruited this person. After this person joins the team, he does not show the mountain nor reveal the water,[6] but his strength is not weak, and he is also quite reliable when on a mission. According to him, he originally lived alone, but he was lucky enough to meet a college classmate. The two walked together and became good brothers who lived their lives. Unfortunately, however, they encountered an injured third-level zombie, and neither he nor his friend had advanced their rank at that time. They were just C class ability users and they took a lot of effort to kill that third-level zombie, but his friend was scratched by that zombie in the course of the battle. Then¡­ When he talked about the past, his whole body trembled with pain. His eyes were red, and he was full of deep regret. Occasionally, the team members will notice this person mumbling to himself in front of his best friend¡¯s photo. Once Yu Xiaole heard him chokingly said, ¡°¡­If I had advanced earlier, you wouldn¡¯t have died¡­It¡¯s all my fault¡­¡± This kind of brotherhood has infected the members of ¡°Ye Feng¡±. It is hard to find genuine affection in the apocalypse. Therefore, in just one month, the other party was accepted by the ¡°Ye Feng¡± team. But the captain doesn¡¯t seem to like him very much¡­ Yu Xiaole thought. ¡°Du Mingyu, I remember you said that you came from XX, did you pass through M city?¡± Yu Xiaole asked. ¡°Eh? Right¡­but I didn¡¯t go inside the city.¡± Du Mingyu, whose name was called, had a naive smile on his face, scratching his head, a little embarrassed. References CH 52 The sky was dark and gloomy, but the temperature in the air did not drop in the slightest. The heat, black clouds, and gusty winds swept across the ground lifting dry dust¡­ The rapid changes in the weather seemed to be brewing an upcoming storm. In such depressing and ominous weather, a military armored vehicle drove out of the base gate. Driving in the direction of M City. ¡°I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s going to rain heavily. Captain, shall we find a place to wait for the rain to pass before leaving?¡± Liu Shiyuan, the only female among the members of the Ye Feng team, looked at the ominous sky and frowned. Bai Wen sat in the backseat with his eyes closed. After hearing what was said, he opened his eyes. He has a pair of monolid eyes, which seemingly appears ordinary, just like an ordinary person sitting in the car. As long as one does not pay special attention to him, it will be unlikely for someone to notice a person sitting there. But when he opened his eyes, the air around that position had a distinct change. A strong aura that could not be ignored erupted, indicating that there is a distinguished person sitting there, who was very powerful at first glance. Liu Shiyuan and the other team members had long been accustomed to their captain¡¯s ¡°sense of presence¡±. They just eagerly waited for their boss¡¯s instructions. However, Du Mingyu, who was sitting on the other side, shrank his neck, as if afraid. Not daring to look at Bai Wen. After joining the Ye Feng team, his eyes would occasionally meet Bai Wen¡¯s gaze in mid-air, and he always felt that the other party¡¯s eyes were scanning his body like lasers. Revealing all the secrets he carried without reservation. In other words¡ª every time Du Mingyu meets Bai Wen¡¯s gaze, Du Mingyu will avoid it guiltily, which is a subconscious action. ¡°Accelerate forward according to the map.¡± Bai Wen said indifferently, ¡°Both sides of the highway are low plains. There¡¯s no housing, and even if there is, it¡¯s for forest guards at best.¡± Through the reinforced bulletproof glass, his gaze swept across The undulating mountain forest in the distance: ¡°Who knows how many zombies there are in the woods. Drive the car to the plain to find a shelter from the wind and rain, and when the rain falls, if we encounter a group of zombies, will the car drive faster in the plains, or in the highway?¡± The embarrassed Liu Shiyuan did not speak. ¡°Captain is right. Xiao Yuan¡¯er, when will you learn to grow meat and develop brains at the same time?¡± The team members laughed cheekily. Liu Shiyuan was annoyed, she squeezed her stomach, and threw a can at Tang Ci, who dared to say she was fat. Smashing and causing the other party to scream ¡®aiyo ayio¡¯: ¡°Yo! Honeydew flavor. Thanks wife, I like it.¡± ¡°Motherf***er.¡± Liu Shiyuan rolled her eyes, ¡°Captain, he took advantage of me.¡± ¡°Well.¡± Bai Wen closed his eyes and pretended not to see it. ¡°¡­¡± Yu Xiaole stepped on the accelerator and the armored car let out a beast-like roar. Chewing a gum in his mouth, his eyes lit up abnormally, ¡°Brothers, sit tight!¡± The car rumbled forward. The modified armored car was like an enraged lion in the mountain, racing down the wide highway. ¡°Shit, I shouldn¡¯t have let this kid drive!¡± ¡°He f***ing thought he was driving a bumper car!¡± Along with Liu Shiyuan and Tang Ci¡¯s your sentence, my sentence[1] verbal abuse, Yu Xiaole, who was like a mad dog who had broken off his chain, went on a rampage with joy. Du Mingyu just laughed like a good old man. From time to time he would take a few words to console the two people¡¯s tucao conference[2]. As if he regards himself as the team¡¯s lubricant, resolving all conflicts and tit-for-tats. ¡°Hey, there¡¯s a small group of zombies in front, look at me.¡± Yu Xiaole grinned and slammed the steering wheel. The armored vehicle drove in an S shape towards the group of zombies who were madly rushing over after hearing the sound. Noting every aspect, smashing each zombie under the wheel. ¡°Hahahaha!¡± The wipers were activated, sweeping the ¡°watermelon juice¡± off the windshield along with some flesh. He then turned back to receive the compliments of his teammates, only to be confronted by the cold gaze of his captain, who had somehow moved up behind him. ¡°¡­¡± Damn. I¡¯m going to die. I¡¯m going to die. He squeezed out a smile that was worse than crying: ¡°¡­team, captain.¡± ¡°There¡¯s a car in front. It looks quite new, go down and try it?¡± ¡°No, no, no. I was wrong captain.¡± Bai Wen returned to his seat. Yu Xiaole drove honestly, not daring to play any tricks again. ¡°Captain, Xiaole didn¡¯t do it on purpose.¡± Du Mingyu smilingly said, ¡°He¡¯s still young, so he likes to play.¡± The others seemed to be accustomed to Du Mingyu¡¯s pleading words, and felt that it was normal given his temperament. Yu Xiaole even glared at Tang Ci and Liu Shiyuan from the rearview mirror. These two were simply not human. They were the closest to him, and yet they didn¡¯t even remind him when the captain moved behind him. He feels that the newcomer Du Mingyu, is simply a caring little cotton-padded jacket.[3] Bai Wen frowned. His dislike for Du Mingyu that flashed across his face can be clearly seen, and then he said, ¡°You go drive.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Yu Xiaole reacted more than Du Mingyu. With drooping head and ears, he finally changed positions with Du Mingyu. The latter was cautious, as if it was a very honorable thing to get the captain¡¯s orders. His overflowing excitement and happiness could be clearly felt even by others. Yu Xiaole¡¯s subtle feeling of being replaced disappeared in an instant. He immediately leaned in front of Bai Wen like a pug as if nothing happened: ¡°Captain, isn¡¯t the information provided by the base says that apart from the two high-level zombies around Jinxin Community, there is a high probability that there are still other high-level zombie beasts? When we have killed those two zombies, and stroll around there, maybe we can find a third-grade fire crystal for Du Mingyu.¡± The first thing that Du Mingyu did when he joined the team was to quickly integrate himself into the team¡¯s affairs¡ªhe took out a third-grade wood crystal and presented it, in the name of being teammates, to Liu Shiyuan, who was at the critical stage of promotion at that time. Relying on this third-grade wood crystal, Liu Shiyuan successfully advanced. Du Mingyu is a fire element, but there is no third-grade fire crystal in their team, so Bai Wen promised to hunt down a third-grade fire crystal for Du Mingyu. During this month, the team gave Du Mingyu a lot of second-level fire crystals. When he arrived at the base, he was already at the peak of C class. With a lot of second-level fire crystals, he broke through to B class. Although he already had a breakthrough, the team still owes Du Mingyu a third-grade fire crystal. ¡­ It was unknown what Bai Wen thought, but after a while, he said ¡°Yeah¡±. In the driver¡¯s seat, Du Mingyu¡¯s fingers tightly clenched the steering wheel. The corners of his mouth rose imperceptibly. In M City, hundreds of kilometers away, the entire city unknowingly became grandpa¡¯s property¡ªbecause he¡¯s the only fifth-level zombie in the city. Zombies and zombie beasts below the fifth level are all Grandpa¡¯s ¡°subordinates¡±. Even without Grandpa by her side, or Luo Yesheng¡¯s company, Bian Bian can go out alone. Occasionally, she encounters an ordinary zombie alone, when it sees Bian Bian, it immediately turns around and runs away. As for the survivors of the entire M city, it seems that there were only Bian Bian and Luo Yesheng. At least, when Luo Yesheng went out to look for supplies with Bian Bian, he didn¡¯t encounter anyone. However, after searching, Luo Yesheng did find some food, but not much. It can be seen that when grandpa found the food that hadn¡¯t been taken away from Jinxin supermarket, it couldn¡¯t be called lucky. It should be called a miracle. ¡°Bian Bian, we can¡¯t stay here anymore.¡± After counting the remaining food, even if the two zombies eat a little less, it will only be enough for the two of them to eat for a week at most. M city is indeed safe, but food is a pressing issue. No matter how safe a place is, how can they live without food? Even if the invisible ¡°Dad¡± of Bian Bian occasionally gives some food to them, it¡¯s just a drop in the bucket. Besides¡­ The food that was delivered was practically a variety of small snacks that were only suitable for Bian Bian to eat. Luo Yesheng didn¡¯t quite understand it after the first and the second time, but after three or four times Luo Yesheng understood. ¡°Dad¡± is unwilling to share Bian Bian¡¯s food with him, so he delivers the food selectively¡ªdoes he have no shame that he will eat the child¡¯s food? Luo Yesheng, who wanted to understand this, smiled bitterly. Of course, he would not accept ¡°relief¡± with peace of mind, but the other party¡¯s operation was really¡­ It was very inconsistent with the person in his impression. If he has to say it, only the word ¡°childish¡± fits. There is another thing that puzzles Luo Yesheng¡ª¡ª Dingling. The crisp sound of wind chimes echoed in the living room, and then Bian Bian¡¯s happy voice could be heard: ¡°Dad is here~¡± Looking at the string of wind chimes, Luo Yesheng¡¯s eyelids couldn¡¯t help but twitch. ¡°Dad, this is the red string I weaved. Giving it to Dad, does Dad like it?¡± Bian Bian¡¯s little hands were holding a red string with a small wooden tile that was strung together. The shape was simple, and there is a square above the small wooden tile with the word ¡°Bian¡± written on it. That was Bian Bian¡¯s name, which was what Luo Yesheng had taught Bian Bian to write. The little girl has written it according to the pattern dozens of times, and when she wrote the word ¡°Bian¡± again, she could already write it beautifully. Bian Bian seems to have a unique talent in terms of learning to write and recognizing words. Luo Yesheng knows pinyin, but he is not a teacher. One taught bumpily, while the other studied earnestly. In a short period of time, Bian Bian had already known hundreds of words. There is a small whiteboard in the living room, which Luo Yesheng found in a high school and then was brought back¡ªit is convenient for Bian Bian¡¯s father to write. ¡°Dad likes it very much.¡± At this time, a marker floated in front of the small whiteboard, and five big words immediately appeared. Bian Bian raised her little face, reading it word by word, and recognizing these five simple words. Then, her little face burst into joy, as if she had received the best affirmation and praise. ¡°I can only weave this one now. Wait for Bian Bian to learn to weave more. Next time, I will weave a better one for my father.¡± Bian Bian said earnestly. She learned to weave strings from a set of picture books. Luo Yesheng, who was at the side, explained for Bian Bian: ¡°Bian Bian learned things very fast, and she can learn many things at a glance.¡± If this was placed before the end of the world, the little girl would have been taken to a special institution to check her IQ. When he first met Bian Bian, in Luo Yesheng¡¯s impression, although the little girl was smart and sensible, she was ignorant of many things. However, in less than a month, at a speed visible to the naked eye, Bian Bian showed a terrifying learning speed just through inferencing. She has a good memory and a fast learning speed, yet Luo Yesheng doesn¡¯t know if this is a good thing or a bad thing. Hearing what other children said¡­ it seems that being too smart is not very good. Luo Yesheng recalled some examples he had seen on the internet before, as well as examples from his own school. Those prodigies who became famous at a young age have received widespread attention because of their intelligence, and the pressure on their bodies is much higher than that of ordinary people. Once they collapse¡­ How many prodigies became mediocre when they grew up. Facing those sighing, regretful, and disappointed eyes, they ultimately ended up unaccomplished or had gone to other endings. The marker drew a bold cursive calligraphy on the whiteboard: ¡°The child I raised is of course smart.¡± This overflowing self-confidence¡­ Luo Yesheng¡¯s mouth twitched. Yes, this is what puzzles him. There is a big difference in the tone of speech between this father and the person in his impression. If it is the ¡°Dad¡± in Luo Yesheng¡¯s impression who made his heart cold as soon as he appeared, with the other person¡¯s character, when he received the red string given by Bian Bian, there is a high probability that the sentence he will write would be: ¡°So ugly.¡± Hearing his evaluation of Bian Bian being able to learn things quickly, the other party will just ignore him directly. In addition to the above, the most important thing is that the handwriting on the whiteboard is different! So¡­ Luo Yesheng has reasons to suspect that Bian Bian has more than one invisible dad, but¡ª¡ª Three. Yes, there¡¯s still a childish ghost. This guess is so weird that Luo Yesheng dared not believe it. It¡¯s just that one invisible dad cannot talk but also can¡¯t communicate, and yet the others cannot too? Could it be that this dad¡¯s ¡°Specification¡± was gathering together? Either he has a problem with his brain or he has a problem with his eyes. ¡°Dad, have you eaten yet?¡± After giving the gift, the thoughtful little padded jacket began to care about dad. Nong Jiusi directly ¡°pulled¡± the red string out of the game. In the literal sense of ¡°pulling¡±, what appeared in front of Bian Bian is that the red string disappeared before her eyes. Lord Jiusi was very satisfied with the system¡¯s knowledge of current affairs.[4] His slender and beautiful fingers held the red string and looked at it for a while, and then, he put it on his wrist. Lord Jiusi, who was full of anger in the morning, was in a rare happy mood, so he wrote a few words to tease her: ¡°Dad was in a bad mood and can¡¯t eat.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Luo Yesheng¡¯s translation machine went online, he also conveniently taught Bian Bian to read. This is fucking coquettish right? Huh? Huh? ! Looking at Bian Bian again, when the little girl heard it, she was really anxious: ¡°Daddy, who bullied you?¡± Nong Jiusi was slightly startled. ¡°I¡¯ll let grandpa beat him to avenge daddy!¡± Bian Bian clenched her little fists, while her soft little face was panting with rage. Those who bullied daddy were all big bad guys. If she needed help at ordinary times, she would ask Luo Yesheng and Zhu Yuan¡ªalthough the latter could not understand. Bian Bian, who dearly loves grandpa, never asks grandpa to do other things. She takes care of grandpa instead. Being able to ask her beloved grandpa to help, shows her dad¡¯s importance. ¡°See, my daughter is not raised in vain right?¡± Nong Jiusi supported his perfect chin and smiled at Nong Tang beside him. Nong Tang hurriedly nodded. At this moment, a row of scarlet letters suddenly appeared in the air: ¡¾Warning! There are powerful ability users approaching, and their strength is not weaker than Lu Yu. Their targets are Lu Yu and Zhu Yuan. Please, dad must protect Bian Bian well. ¡¿ The smile on Nong Jiusi¡¯s face faded. ¡°¡­¡± At that moment, Nong Tang was so frightened that even the dragon horns above his head softened. References CH 53 At one o¡¯clock in the afternoon. The sun hangs high in the sky, unleashing its enthusiasm without reservation. The air is filled with a scorching taste under the high temperature. ¡°Compared to this damn heat, I find the rainstorm much better. At least it¡¯s cooler.¡± Inside the armored vehicle, Yu Xiaole kept fanning beside his ears with his palms, trying to cool himself a little. Liu Shiyuan also felt so hot that she kept on drinking water. Wiping her sweat: ¡°Captain, let¡¯s recruit an ice-type next time, ok? Anyway, when we go out to do a mission, we can enjoy the humanoid air conditioner.¡± ¡°Wife, you think the ice-type is a Chinese cabbage eh? If you want to recruit, it can be recruited?¡± Tang Ci threw a wink. The five major elements account for almost 90% of the ability users, while the remaining 10% are mutants. Liu Shiyuan rolled her eyes at him. ¡°How about¡­ I turn on the car air conditioner?¡± Du Mingyu, who was driving, said tentatively. They set off from the base two days ago and encountered a storm on the way, so they were delayed for some time. They were only now entering M City. Du Mingyu has been driving the car along the way. Although ability users have good physical strength, Du Mingyu¡¯s eyes are bloodshot due to exhaustion after driving straight for two consecutive days and nights. But he didn¡¯t seem to have complained in the slightest. The other team members wanted to replace Du Mingyu, but the closed-eyed Bai Wen, who had been sleeping almost all the time, said, ¡°He has good skills, let him come.¡± The team members thought: Because he drives steadily that it was easy for you[1] to sleep well right? Bai Wen has a high position in the team. In short, others dare not disobey his orders. So Du Mingyu, who had ¡°good skills¡± above his head, kept driving like this. When the water was released[2] halfway through, Yu Xiaole patted Du Mingyu¡¯s shoulder to comfort him: ¡°The captain treats you as his own person so he orders you around. We were like this when we first followed the captain.¡± Du Mingyu¡¯s face looked proud. A hint of shyness rose from his sincere and honest face: ¡°I¡¯m not tired, this is what I should do.¡± The more Yu Xiaole felt that Du Mingyu is a good person, the more he doubted the captain¡¯s attitude in his heart. But he turned his head and put this doubt behind. ¡°Don¡¯t waste gasoline.¡± Liu Shiyuan shook her head and propped her head out of the window, ¡°Do you guys think¡­ the city is too quiet?¡± On their way here, they would hear zombies howling from time to time. When they entered M City, the howling of zombies were gone. It¡¯s as if walking from a lively place to suddenly entering another place that is extremely quiet, which subconsciously makes people vigilant. ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Yu Xiaole then took his head out, ¡°Although high-level zombies will exude coercion, and low-level zombies will not dare to step forward, but this has a range, it will only take effect within a certain range¡­ We entered the city from the highway intersection and drove for half an hour without seeing a single zombie. Could it be that there are also high-level zombies in this area?¡± ¡°No.¡± It was unknown when Bai Wen opened his eyes, he half-squintingly look at the outside environment. As if he felt something, his eyebrows wrinkled little by little. ¡°Captain, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Bai Wen pinched his eyebrows: ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Just pay attention and be on guard.¡± ¡°How long will it take to get to Jinxin Community?¡± After a while, Bai Wen asked indifferently. Du Mingyu, who was driving, swallowed. Picked up the map next to him, and said, ¡°Captain, it should be half an hour.¡± According to the route on the map, they are about to arrive in Jinxin Community. However, there seems to be an invisible string in the air that¡¯s gradually tightening. ¡°A high-level zombie halfway to the fifth level¡­¡± Tang Ci turned his arm, and suddenly made a tooth-aching ¡°click¡± sound, ¡°It¡¯s a bit exciting.¡± Liu Shiyuan said a sentence: ¡°Be careful of being slapped in the face, a palm strike can turn you into a meat patty.¡± ¡°Then you will become a widow.¡± ¡°Go away.¡± To the Ye Feng Team, this mission didn¡¯t seem to be difficult. But when it¡¯s time to actually do it, no one dared to take it lightly. ¡°They¡¯re here. They haven¡¯t left.¡± Yu Xiaole said, ¡°I feel it.¡± The coercion exuded by high-level zombies is like countless invisible needles suspended on the skin. The needle points are against the skin, and you can feel the danger it brings, which might pierce the body at any time. ¡°Stop.¡± Bai Wen stood up, ¡°Get off the car and walk over.¡± ¡°Not driving over?¡± Bai Wen opened the car door and jumped to the ground, and asked in reply, ¡°How much did we pay for this armored car?¡± Yu Xiaole rushed to answer: ¡°Five third-grade crystals!¡± Du Mingyu, who was the last one to jump down, frowned. His breathing accelerated for a moment, and then he regained his composure. The others didn¡¯t notice the change in his breathing. Only Bai Wen¡¯s gaze seemed to shift in his direction. Military armored vehicles were also rare even before the apocalypse, and only the military was qualified to use them. After the apocalypse, Beiji could expand to become the largest security base in the north because it was established by the military. The ones who mostly died at the beginning of the apocalypse were soldiers. Ordinary people can still hide and wait for rescue. On the other hand, soldiers have nowhere to hide and no way to retreat. They must advance forward and continue their search and rescue for each and every survivor. As a result, a large number of soldiers died on the way to search and rescue. Becoming a member of the army of the living dead.[3] Later, Beiji encountered several zombie tides and almost fell. At a critical moment, a survivor awakened the lightning ability and used thunder and lightning to fight off the zombie tide. After the battle, he was naturally valued by the military, and the military focused on cultivating him. He did live up to the high expectations as he advanced quickly, becoming the well-deserved first and strongest ability user of Beiji. Although human civilization was basically rebuilt in the security base, it is not the same as before the apocalypse. The first is currency¡ªit¡¯s no longer money, but crystal. Second, it becomes very difficult to obtain many resources, such as oil, ores, etc., so much that many things become scarce. If an ability user wants to obtain them, they must bear them according to their expensive prices. Five third-grade crystals for a military armored vehicle. Although the price is high, it¡¯s worth it. It¡¯s just that under normal circumstances, no ability user would spend so much third-grade crystals to buy a car. Unless it¡¯s a local tyrant,[4] who has too many crystals that they have nowhere to spend. ¡°Who will pay for the car that cost so much money to buy if it was damaged?¡± Bai Wen dropped this sentence, turned and walked down the street. Everyone immediately reacted¡ª later when they fought with those high-level zombies, in case someone wasn¡¯t careful and accidentally spread the flames of war in the armored vehicle. It would be just like the tens of millions of luxury cars before the end of the world. When a stone suddenly falls from the sky and smashes the car in the first place, wouldn¡¯t they feel distressed to death? ¡°Jinxin Community is in front.¡± The surroundings were so quiet that only the dull sound of everyone¡¯s feet stepping on the ground could be heard. Yu Xiaole¡¯s palms that were holding the gun were sweating. He obviously felt that this was an easy task, yet he didn¡¯t know why. When they arrived at this destination, feeling the pressure of the advanced zombies, his heart became more and more nervous with a bit of anxiety. The captain is here. Afraid of a fart! Yu Xiaole cursed inwardly. In order to ease the inexplicable emotion in his heart, he whistled: ¡°Hey, do you guys think there are survivors here?¡± ¡°Do you think you¡¯re living too long?¡± Liu Shiyuan said irritably , ¡°¡­Captain, why haven¡¯t the zombies come out yet.¡± The five of them have already walked up to here, yet those high-level zombies couldn¡¯t smell the fresh flesh and blood? They should have appeared long ago. ¡°Woohoo¡­¡± A whimpering sound brought by the wind suddenly swept from the sky, and a strong gust of wind blew across the bodies of several people. This wind came and disappeared suddenly. Everyone froze. ¡°Over there!¡± Tang Ci pointed his finger to the right, on the guardrail of the outer wall of a dilapidated building, ¡°Fuck, what the hell is that?¡± ¡°Uh¡­is that a zombie?¡± Liu Shiyuan rubbed her eyes: ¡°This¡­ was a hat?¡± ¡°Or, an iron bucket hat?¡± ¡°Sorry, I remembered a game I played before¡­¡± Yu Xiaole burst out laughing. ¡°That¡¯s what, I¡¯ve also played.¡± They saw the head of the zombie¡ªwho is crouching on the guardrail¡ªwas surrounded by an iron sheet. The shape was similar to that of a toque blanche,[5] which was worn by the chefs, but was made of metal. The top was sharp, and it was also a bit like those typical wizard hats in the movies before. A little piece was missing at the edge, as if it had been bitten off. This thing is worn on the head of the zombie, and at a glance, it is inexplicably festive. ¡°Du Mingyu, what¡¯s wrong with you?¡± Yu Xiaole turned his head and found that the expression of his teammate was not right. If he had to describe his expression¡ªexcitement, unexpected and as expected surprise¡­ It was very complicated. Hearing his rapid heartbeat, Yu Xiaole was a little stunned. He couldn¡¯t say why, but he just thought that Du Mingyu¡¯s appearance at this time¡­ was not very pleasing to the eye. Du Mingyu secretly pinched the palm of his hand, and all his original emotions had been changed in a flash. His body trembled slightly, his eyes widened and his pupils contracted. As if he saw a terrible and incredible scene¡ª¡ª ¡°Zhu Yuan¡­¡± He spat out these two words tremblingly, as if he was suffering from some kind of invisible torture. His eyes turned red. ¡°What?¡± Yu Xiaole raised his voice, ¡°Zhu Yuan? You said this zombie is Zhu Yuan, that good friend of yours?¡± Du Mingyu¡¯s face was pale, his facial muscles twitched, and his voice was hoarse: ¡°¡­It¡¯s him, but why is he here¡­ how is he¡­¡± The team members have heard Du Mingyu talk about him and his friend. They then looked at the zombie with an iron hat on the opposite side, and sighed. Yu Xiaole immediately attributed Du Mingyu¡¯s strange expression to the shock brought by seeing his friend that has become a zombie. He patted Du Mingyu on the shoulder: ¡°Alas, if you can¡¯t do it, leave it to us.¡± ¡°I knew he might turn into a zombie, but I didn¡¯t expect to meet him here.¡± Du Mingyu choked, ¡°He even advanced when he turned into a zombie. I should be happy for him.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t do anything yet. Everyone pay attention.¡± At this moment, Bai Wen suddenly said, ¡°The mission target is not at the peak of the fourth level. It has already advanced to the fifth level.¡± The appearance of the zombie in an iron hat attracted everyone¡¯s attention. Only Bai Wen squinted and looked around. From the moment he stepped into the Jinxin Community, the alarm bells in his heart kept ringing. This is very rare. ¡ª¡ªAlthough Bai Wen was only at the peak of B class, he is a rare dual-type ability user, and his strength is no less than that of an A class middle-level. Even if the fourth-level zombie breaks through to the fifth-level, it is not necessarily someone he couldn¡¯t beat. After his reminder, the others remembered that there was still another zombie. ¡°Holy shit. Fifth-level.¡± Liu Shiyuan gasped, turned back-to-back with Tang Ci, and carefully observed. ¡°Where is he?¡± Du Mingyu slowly spat out the breath he was holding in his chest. Half lowering his head as his eyes flickered as he looked at the zombie with an iron hat. Full of calculation. ¡°Hoho¨C¡± A low roar sounded from the top of their heads. When everyone looked up, they saw that the window on the third-floor of one of the residential buildings in the community was pushed open, and a tall old zombie dexterously jumped down. When it landed, the ground seemed to shake. Bai Wen closely stared at the old zombie. His eyebrows did not loosen due to it¡¯s appearance. Not right. The object that made the alarm bells in his heart ring was not this old zombie. At the same time, on the third floor, Luo Yesheng, who was hesitating to come forward and talk to the few ability users downstairs, saw a sentence written on the whiteboard: ¡°Ask Bian Bian. Do you want all those people to disappear?¡± Luo Yesheng¡¯s eyelids twitched. He subconsciously looked at Bian Bian with a worried face. The little girl already knew what was going on. Half an hour ago, Dad said that some very powerful villains were coming to kill Grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan, and Bian Bian was very angry. Grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan didn¡¯t do anything. Yet, why did those bad guys come to kill them? They are so bad! After Luo Yesheng relayed what Nong Jiusi said to Bian Bian, the little girl understood the meaning of her father¡¯s words¡ªshe might not have understood it before, but under the influence of the milk powder that developed her brain. Together with some implied meaning, Bian Bian gradually understood a lot. ¡°¡­¡± Biting her petal-like lips, Bian Bian thought for a while before asking in a low voice, ¡°Dad, can you beat those big bad guys?¡± Lord Jiusi, who was questioned by the child: ¡°¡­?¡± References CH 54 ¡°Wait.¡± As keen as Luo Yesheng might be, thinking of his tragic situation last time, although he suspected that the ¡°father¡± that appeared each time was different, he was only suspicious. Moreover, there¡¯s no evidence. What if the other party deliberately showed a different side? After all, no one can be seen, and everything is just speculation. For example, at this moment, he could feel his scalp turn numb in an instant. The seemingly non-existent sense of danger surrounding his body made him involuntarily glance at the reincarnation ring on his wrist¡ªthis kind of danger feels exactly the same as when he was being threatened by the magician. That overwhelming pressure. He bit the bullet and said: ¡°I¡¯ll go down and talk to these people.¡± ¡°Those ability users don¡¯t know the specific situation. They just thought that there are high-level zombies here, so they will naturally target Grandpa and Zhu Yuan. You can¡¯t kill all the ability users every time they come, right?¡± Luo Yesheng felt that ¡°Dad¡± was staring at him. He knew that this was not an illusion. So he tried to relax as much as possible. ¡°If they still don¡¯t give up after the conversation, it¡¯s not too late to take action by then.¡± At this time, the system stubbornly appeared:¡¾Bian Bian is currently in the learning and exploration stage. If you can solve the problem peacefully, then solve it peacefully. Fighting and killing is not good. Please pay special attention, Dad. ¡¿ Nong Jiusi glanced at the little one. Since he went online some time ago and found that Bian Bian changed the way she called him to Dad, Lord Jiusi has been online more frequently than before. Although he¡¯s not completely addicted to this child raising game, every time the little one softly calls out the word ¡°Dad¡±, it brings a wonderful throbbing to Lord Jiusi. Mysteriously, he established a special relationship with this little one named Bian Bian, a character in a child raising game. Nong Jiusi had no experience in raising a child. But the system¡¯s words also reminds him that a person¡¯s character as an adult often depends on his/her childhood experience. For example, a person who has lived in a cruel environment since childhood and kills every day in order to survive, will have a 90% chance of becoming a cold-blooded killing machine when he grows up, and plundering the lives of others will become his survival instinct. ¡­ Well¡­being reasonable is not impossible. Nong Jiusi gave up the idea of ????taking action, and with a wave of his hand, ¡°Let Bian Bian follow me to the rooftop.¡± Luo Yesheng breathed a sigh of relief: it seems that he agrees with his idea. Bian Bian naturally listens to what her father says. Obediently hugging the little bear, she took a small notebook and a pen, and went to the rooftop with Nong Jiusi. The roof has a wide field of vision. There is a flower terrace in the southeast. Sitting there and lying on the fence will provide a panoramic view of the scene downstairs. Moreover, there is a stone pillar next to it, and the shadow formed by the two angles perfectly covers Bian Bian¡¯s small body. Even if someone looks up, it is unlikely to find Bian Bian. Unless someone looks from a higher place. Just after Bian Bian sat properly, a plate of nuts and cut fruit appeared out of thin air on Bian Bian¡¯s right hand. The plate was very delicate and beautiful. ¡°Dad, eat.¡± Bian Bian peeled a round nut with her little hand. She didn¡¯t know what it was, but she knew that it was very delicious. She didn¡¯t put the peeled nut into her mouth, but instead raised her little hand to feed her dad. Nong Jiusi happily accepted what the child shared. Then Bian Bian peeled another one for Gray Gray. After sharing, she then took care of herself. She ate crunchily while curiously looking downstairs. The peeled shells were also placed on the other side of the plate in an orderly manner¡ªmust not litter anywhere, yo~ The battle that was about to happen downstairs was effectively alleviated when Luo Yesheng appeared. Two minutes ago, the members of the Ye Feng team stared blankly at a man, who appeared in the window on the third floor and said ¡°Wait¡± to them. Then, he ran over from the other side, and directly walked to the fifth-level zombie, and turned his back to that same fifth-level zombie under their eyes. ¡­? This is simply courting death. Because this act was so terrifying, all the members of the Ye Feng Team saluted silently. None of them spoke. However, what shocked them even more was that the fifth-level zombie did not attack him. The terrifying silence lasted a full minute. ¡°Holy shit, there¡¯s really a fucking person.¡± Liu Shiyuan muttered. Yu Xiaole¡¯s nose itched. He didn¡¯t hold back and sneezed, and said something that gave other people goosebumps. ¡°Didn¡¯t you guys notice that the fifth-level zombie jumped from the third floor? This person also talked to us from the third floor just now¡­¡± Of course,they noticed. But it was hard for everyone to believe that this ability user was actually staying in the same room with that fifth-level zombie. Several people looked at each other and saw incredulity in each other¡¯s eyes. Bai Wen took a step forward: ¡°Your Excellency this is¡­?¡± As a B class powerhouse, Luo Yesheng saw at a glance that Bai Wen was the leader of these people. He smiled: ¡°Everyone, you can move the zombies in other places as you like, but sorry, not here.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Yu Xiaole was so curious that he hurriedly asked, ¡°Why it didn¡¯t attack you? How did you do it?¡± Luo Yesheng explained in one sentence: ¡°They¡¯re my family. ¡° It was only then that everyone discovered that the zombie with an iron hat on the guardrail did not attack them either. ¡°There are really zombies who don¡¯t eat people.¡± Liu Shiyuan put down the gun in her hand and exclaimed, ¡°It¡¯s the first time I¡¯ve seen it.¡± ¡°What should we do Captain?¡± They have taken the task. If the mission is not completed, they will pay the base a penalty for breach of contract, even though they can afford it. However, people have said that the two zombies were family members. They did not bite anyone, nor did they take the initiative to attack them. Without reason or hatred, it will not be good if they took action. Bai Wen ignored his team members and put the gun in his hand back into his gun pocket, which clearly shows his attitude. Luo Yesheng couldn¡¯t help but feel relieved when he heard Bai Wen ask, ¡°You have been living here?¡± ¡°No, just resting here temporarily.¡± Luo Yesheng shook his head and said, ¡°Sorry for asking but, how do you know there are two high-level zombies here?¡± ¡°We got the information from the base.¡± Bai Wen said meaningfully, ¡°It was said that there are two zombies here, one is a fourth-level and the other is a third-level. Two B class ability users joined forces to kill the two zombies, but one ultimately died while the other was seriously injured. The base issued the mission, and we took it.¡± Other members of Ye Feng: ¡°???¡± What¡¯s going on? Why did the captain told everything? Luo Yesheng¡¯s pupils shrank. No wonder, this group of B class ability users are targeting Grandpa and Zhu Yuan. The base already knew what¡¯s going on here. As for how they knew¡­ he can guess even with his toes that it should be said by the surviving members of the flying dragon. Luo Yesheng sighed secretly. ¡°Thank you,¡± he said. When the other party told him the situation, it meant that even if they wouldn¡¯t take action with these two zombies and would not complete the mission for the time being, other teams would still come in the future to take over the mission. There will always be someone that will do it for the crystal. Fifth grade crystal. Even an A class ability user will be moved. Bai Wen narrowed his eyes and looked at the two zombies. He didn¡¯t relax just because the zombies didn¡¯t attack. He calmly asked, ¡°What do they usually eat?¡± As everyone knows, zombies only eat human flesh and blood, they do not even touch animal flesh. These two zombies, except that the old zombie looks thin, the other zombie doesn¡¯t seem to be ¡°lacking in nutrition¡±. The other team members froze when they heard the captain¡¯s subtle meaning. Could it be, the reason why these two high-level zombies didn¡¯t attack them is that this man secretly used humans to raise them? The relaxed atmosphere froze instantly. The invisible strings in the air gradually tightened, Yu Xiaole and the others grabbed their gun once again¡ª¡ª It is not uncommon to use humans to raise zombies, and this kind of behavior is extremely disgusting. ¡°They will eat whatever I eat.¡± Luo Yesheng said indifferently, ¡°I don¡¯t need to lie to you about this. You all know that zombies never gets full. If they really want to eat you, no matter how much they have eaten before, they will rush over the moment they saw you.¡± After Bai Wen heard this, his eyes suddenly changed, and he said, ¡°They¡­ have evolved their own consciousness?¡± As if responding to him, the fifth level zombie roared. Shortly after that, they discovered that the fifth-level zombie¡¯s roar was not directed towards them, but at the third-level zombie. ¡°Uh¡­it¡­seems to be drooling.¡± All aspects of an ability user¡¯s body was strengthened, so Liu Shiyuan clearly saw the suspicious liquid dripping from the corners of the mouth of the iron-hatted zombie. ¡°¡­¡± The iron-hatted zombie who had been yelled at for a long time roared back angrily. Raised his hand to wipe the liquid from the corner of his mouth, shook his iron hat, and remained silent. ¡°¡­¡­¡± Seeing it is better than hearing about it. The interaction of the two zombies eliminated the need for Luo Yesheng¡¯s explanation, and the Ye Feng Team once again refreshed their own understanding of zombies. Therefore, the third-level zombie was actually craving for them, wanting to eat them, but was stopped by the fifth-level zombie. Then the third-level zombie obeyed and did not eat them? The tense atmosphere suddenly became a little weird, and the eyes of everyone looking at Luo Yesheng also changed. A question strangely emerged in their hearts: Is this person raising zombies, or these zombies were raising this person? The silence lasted for half a minute, and Bai Wen nodded: ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± He neatly abandoned this mission. There was naturally no objection from the Ye Feng members, who follows their captain¡¯s orders obediently. Before leaving, Yu Xiaole smilingly said: ¡°Brother, although your zombie family has evolved self-awareness and won¡¯t bite people, they¡¯re still zombies after all. Our captain has principles and believes you, but it does not mean that others also have principles. Some teams in the base are very powerful, and all of them are A class¡­ If you don¡¯t want your zombie family members to be stripped of their crystal, take them out of here, ok?¡± ¡°Dad, those big bad guys are gone.¡± Bian Bian¡¯s cheeks were bulging with fruits, and she was holding a big, tender cherry in her hand, ¡°Uncle Luo is amazing.¡± Bian Bian is sitting on top of a flower stand, while Nong Jiusi¡¯s position was much more arrogant. He stood directly on top of the fence and looked downstairs with his hands clasped behind his back, with a somewhat bored expression on his face. Hearing the little one¡¯s voice, he looked back, only to see the little one¡¯s big grape-like eyes full of admiration for Luo Yesheng. Thinking of the little one¡¯s previous words that questioned his strength, although Lord Jiusi¡¯s expression remains the same, there¡¯s a lot of turmoil in his heart. ¡°¡­¡± For a moment, Nong Jiusi thought of rebuilding his image in the child¡¯s heart, but in the end he just moved his fingers and didn¡¯t take action. Suddenly, Lord Jiusi raised his brows, and there was a hint of interest in his eyes as he looked downstairs. ¡°There¡¯s a good show to watch.¡± He picked up the small notebook beside him and wrote a few words, and thoughtfully labeled its pinyin. The words are very simple, and so is the pinyin. Little Bian Bian took a few seconds to recognize them. The earnest little girl who seeks knowledge didn¡¯t understand and asked, ¡°Dad, what does ¡®good show¡¯ mean?¡± ¡°¡­¡± the little notebook, ¡°You¡¯re Uncle Zhu Yuan.¡± Bian Bian already knew the words ¡°Uncle Zhu Yuan¡± when she was just learning to read and write for the first time. She hurriedly leaned on the fence and looked nervously at the iron-hatted zombie downstairs. Downstairs, the iron hatted zombie was very unhappy because of the fierce mouth of the old zombie, so he jumped off the guardrail. When he jumped down, both of his hands were still holding the iron hat on top of his head, for fear that it would fall off his head. His gray-white eyes stared closely at the Ye Feng Team, as if considering whether it was possible to take a bite without being discovered by the old zombie. Du Mingyu was walking at the end of the team. Regardless of what the other members and Luo Yesheng talked about earlier, his attention was always on the iron-hatted zombie. From the first moment he saw the task, he was sure that the wind-based third-level zombie was Zhu Yuan. Except for the ¡°third level¡±, the location and ability all matched, and there could be no such coincidence in this world. Sure enough, his guess was right. Will he just leave like this? Du Mingyu lowered his eyes and swallowed. Soon after, his right hand made a subtle gesture towards the iron-hatted zombie. The dark clouds quietly obscured the hot sun, as the sunlight on the ground disappeared inch by inch. The gray-white eyes of the iron-hatted zombie wandered back and forth on the members of the Ye Feng team from the beginning, and finally stopped on Du Mingyu¡¯s body, unmoving. He seemed to recognize something through this gesture. The next second, an earth-shattering roar exploded in the sky. CH 55 Currently, the Ye Feng team headed by Bai Wen turned around and walked towards the road where they came. The expressions on everyone¡¯s faces were relaxed, with Yu Xiaole still whispering: ¡°Let¡¯s go to other places and see if there are any zombies and zombie beasts.¡± Hearing this, Tang Ci said with great relish: ¡°Find what fart! There¡¯s a fifth-level zombie sitting here. The zombies and zombie beasts with some strength in the entire M City have yet to run to other places with their tails tucked between their legs to dominate and claim the throne.¡± Liu Shiyuan smacked her mouth, as if she was thinking about something: ¡°There¡¯s a big box of chocolate as a reward for this mission. Now it¡¯s good, it¡¯s gone. sob sob sob.¡°[1] Bai Wen¡¯s ears automatically filtered out the broken words of his teammates, his eyes held thoughts as he pondered: to whom does the breath that gave him a strong sense of danger belongs to? However, except for the fifth-level zombie with the highest strength, there was no other candidate that might have this aura. ¡­ No one expected that the third-level zombie would suddenly make a move. As he roared frantically, he had already rushed over like a cannon at the same time. ¡°Be careful, Du Mingyu!¡± Yu Xiaole was the closest to Du Mingyu. Seeing that Du Mingyu seemed to be shocked by the sudden attack of the third-level zombie, standing there frozen, unable to move, he subconsciously ran over and knocked Du Mingyu away. As a result, his reaction time was delayed. The third-level zombie grabbed his shoulder and threw him heavily. Yu Xiaole¡¯s body was thrown like a rag. ¡°Xiao Le!¡± ¡°Roarrr!¡± The gray eyes of the third-level zombie were trembling violently. Zombies have no memory of the past, but the vague gesture stimulated him, making him go crazy. He wanted to tear the human being in front of him into pieces. He couldn¡¯t see anyone else in his eyes, except Du Mingyu, nor could he hear the fifth-level zombie stopping him. Everything he felt turned into a single thought in his mind¡ª¡ª Tear him apart. ¡°No! A Yuan¡­ I¡¯m Mingyu.¡± Du Mingyu, who was pushed down by Yu Xiaole, got up. He retreated a step as he looked at the zombie in pain. As if he wanted to wake up the zombie¡¯s consciousness with his words. The weeds growing in the stone crevices seemed to have eaten a growth accelerator. In the blink of an eye, several long vines grew, entangling the limbs of the zombie. A piece of earth and stone fell out of nowhere and smashed into the third-level zombie whose limbs were temporarily bound by vines. Just when the earth and stone were about to hit the third-level zombie, a firelight suddenly appeared and collided with the earth and stone, producing a loud ¡°bang¡± sound. The earth and stone shattered into dust, scattering everywhere and in everyone¡¯s faces. ¡°Are you okay?¡± Liu Shiyuan hurriedly helped Yu Xiaole, wiped the dirt on her face, and said fiercely, ¡°Damn, we¡¯ve been deceived. They¡¯re black who wants to eat black!¡±[2] Yu Xiaole fell badly, there was blood dripping from the corner of his mouth. He gasped, and looked at his shoulder with some difficulty. He was wearing a T-shirt, and the clothes on his shoulder had been torn, showing five bruised fingerprints. Fortunately there was no broken skin. His lips trembled in fear, ¡°No, no scratch.¡± With a few crackling sounds, the third-level zombie broke off the vine. He violently roared, and rushed towards Du Mingyu once again. Du Mingyu still shook his head in pain, unable to deal with his former friend. Seeing that he was about to be thrown to the ground by his former friend, Bai Wen frowned, and finally took a shot. ¡°Wait!¡± The sudden change caught Luo Yesheng off guard. He is the only person here who knows the third-level zombie best. Although Zhu Yuan loves to drool at him and Bian Bian at ordinary times, always being restless, and wanting to bite them, it was actually just drooling. Even without Grandpa¡¯s threat, he wouldn¡¯t really bite them. On the contrary, the greatest pleasure of the third-level zombie is to bite on some strange things. Whether it¡¯s delicious or not, as long as he can swallow it, he will swallow it. He suddenly went crazy and revealed his nature as a zombie and attacked Du Mingyu. Even ignoring the fifth-level zombie who was stopping him, which completely subverts Luo Yesheng¡¯s understanding of him. ¡°Misunderstanding!¡± Luo Yesheng ran over quickly, but it was too late, Bai Wen had already launched his attack, and a large ball of water wrapped Luo Yesheng who was running over. One of Bai Wen¡¯s abilities: Water. Among the five elements, water overcomes fire. As for the ability users of the same level, the side with the subdued attribute will inevitably be at a disadvantage. Luo Yesheng¡¯s face flushed red due to suffocation. The firelight within the water ball flickered. To break this water ball, Luo Yesheng obviously needed a little more time. Bai Wen looked at Du Mingyu, who¡¯s still in pain, with a confused expression, and then turned to the third-level zombie, who was entangled with earth, rocks and re-grown vines. He was not in a hurry to make a move again. The fifth-level zombie walked silently behind the third-level zombie. His gray and cold eyes met Bai Wen¡¯s calm eyes. ¡°Captain, Xiaole has two broken ribs!¡± Liu Shiyuan said angrily, ¡°This kid did it on purpose in order to let us relax our vigilance. Wanting to take us all in a pot!¡±[3] Luo Yesheng, who was struggling to break the water ball, rolled his eyes while holding his breath. He feels very depressed. With his strength, coupled with his special ability, as long as he was not facing a water type ability user with the same level, which can subdue him, he was almost invincible. However, he encountered Bai Wen, who possessed the water element and had the same level as him, still with a dual ability. Dual abilities complemented each other and were more powerful, which just subdued and killed his abilities. The old zombie seemingly raised his head and took a glimpse in the direction of the terrace. He didn¡¯t make a move, but when the third-level zombie broke free again from the vines, he reached out as fast as lightning and grabbed the back of the third-level zombie¡¯s neck, and roared at the third-level zombie¡¯s ear. ¡°¡­¡± The frantic expression of the third-level zombie paused. It was as if a furious lion had been smoothed out of his fur. It could be seen with the naked eye that he was slowly ¡°calming down¡±, and a look called ¡°grievance¡± could be vaguely seen on that terrible blue and pale face. Ye Feng Team: ¡°¡­?¡± Damn, you bit someone first and yet you feel wronged? Seeing that the situation seemed to be under control, Du Mingyu, who was in so much pain that he lost his ability to fight, stiffened slightly. His face changed in an instant, but he firmly suppressed it. ¡°Puff¡ª¡± The water ball broke open, and Luo Yesheng, who was drenched and dripping with water, coughed and activated his ability to dry the clothes on his body. To say that it was slow, but it¡¯s actually fast. It has only been more than ten seconds since the sudden attack of the third-level zombie. Luo Yesheng¡¯s voice became hoarse because of suffocation. He said solemnly: ¡°Everyone, this is just a misunderstanding!¡± The scene was quiet. There was only the smell of burnt saltpeter after the fireball and the earth and stones collided. From beginning to end, the fifth-level zombie, who did not join the battle, seemed to have stabilized the overall situation at this moment. The third-level zombie has become very honest under his hands. The chef a.k.a. wizard hat that was made of metal sheet on his head fell off during the brief battle just now, and a circle of indentations appeared on the pale bluish skin on his forehead¡ªit was, of course, pressed by the iron hat. ¡°A Yuan¡­¡± Du Mingyu¡¯s trembling voice was particularly loud in the silent environment. As soon as he heard his voice, the third-level zombie, who had become docile in the hands of the old zombie, strangely trembled, and his calm eyes wavered again. ¡°A Yuan, it¡¯s me, I¡¯m Mingyu, have you forgotten me?¡± Du Mingyu took a step forward. His red eyes were enough to make onlookers feel moved by his emotions, even if they couldn¡¯t fully empathize with him. ¡°Du Mingyu, don¡¯t irritate him!¡± Liu Shiyuan, who had scolded fiercely before, seemed to have noticed something, and hurriedly said, ¡°This zombie seems to be very sensitive to you, and maybe he still recognizes you.¡± ¡°Recognize?¡± Luo Yesheng rubbed his buzzing temples and frowningly looked at Du Mingyu, ¡°You know him?¡± Du Mingyu said in a hoarse voice, ¡°He¡¯s my good friend¡­¡± Luo Yesheng¡¯s frown deepens. After being forced to become Bian Bian¡¯s nanny because of the reincarnation ring, he roughly understands ??the circumstances between Bian Bian and her grandpa, and Bian Bian and Zhu Yuan. From what Bian Bian has told him, it could be inferred that Zhu Yuan was initially injured by a gunshot and was rescued by Bian Bian. Later, when he fought with the third-level zombie beast, he was accidentally infected. In order to not make Bian Bian sad, Zhu Yuan said that he was not infected, and that he wanted to leave Bian Bian to go to the base to seek revenge on his enemy. Then, he turned into a zombie on the road, and took the initiative to return to Jinxin Community. ¡°Roar!!!¡± The third-level zombie was out of control again, and a terrifying tornado rolled in without warning. The fierce wind was practically like a cold murderous blade, which cuts through everyone¡¯s skin. The fifth-level zombie was forced to lose his control over him, and then the tornado swept towards Du Mingyu with an irresistible force. Once you get caught, there¡¯s only a little chance of survival. A flash of fear swept through Du Mingyu¡¯s eyes¡ªthe wind element belongs to the mutation type, and its attributes are stronger than the five elements. Facing the tornado produced by the third-level zombie, the power is completely different from before, just like heaven and earth. He shockingly discovered that his fire elemental ability was completely useless at this point. ¡°Captain, help!¡± At the critical moment, Du Mingyu loudly yelled. He knew that Bai Wen didn¡¯t like him, but he was a member of Ye Feng. As the captain, he would never put him in danger. Sure enough, the powerful strength of Bai Wen¡¯s dual-elemental ability was vividly displayed at this moment. When other people dared not confront the tornado and could only avoid it, he brazenly greeted it. It was unknown what he did, but the terrifying tornado seemed to have been pressed with a pause button. Then, just like a mosaic that turned into particles, it disintegrated inch by inch. Bang¡ª¡ª! The body of the third-level zombie flew out backwards and smashed heavily into a wall. A large hole was broken into the wall as gravel splattered. ¡°Uncle Zhu Yuan!¡± Roarrr! ! ! The old zombie looked at the large hole in the wall. The situation of the third-level zombie could not be clearly seen under the rubble. He moved. The strongest combat power of the two sides collided. The dark clouds gathered and became more and more thicker, as if painted with ink by a brush, the light became darker. The ground beneath everyone¡¯s feet trembled unbearably. Yu Xiaole was injured and was unable to fight. Liu Shiyuan had to support and sit next to his side. Tang Ci was fully vigilant to Luo Yesheng. When the latter wanted to go into the wall to inspect the third-level zombie, he lifted up a piece of earth and stone from the ground to block his way. However, everyone could hardly stand firm at the moment because of the shaking ground,. Tang Ci stood firm. He held his gun at Luo Yesheng and gritted his teeth: ¡°Don¡¯t blame me for being rude!¡± In the previous battle, everyone in the Ye Feng Team forgot that they still had guns in their hands. A metal piece condensed into a gun, and unlimited bullets spurted out, hitting the water droplets surrounding Bai Wen layer by layer. When all the water droplets scattered, the bullets also lost their original momentum and disappeared into the air. Facing the fifth-level zombie, Bai Wen didn¡¯t lose in the slightest. During the melee, Du Mingyu, who did not pay attention to the calls of help, quietly entered the smashed wall. The third-level zombie was hit by Bai Wen. His chest slumped, and less than half of his body was crushed under the rubble. Although he struggled, he could not get up. ¡°A Yuan.¡± Du Mingyu smiled and crouched down beside the third-level zombie, ¡°I did not expect your strength to become so strong after becoming a zombie. Congratulations.¡± The third level zombie ho-hoed, trying hard to lift his upper body to bite him. ¡°Tsk tsk.¡± Du Mingyu said curiously, ¡°As a zombie, you can actually resist eating people. Could it be that you haven¡¯t eaten raw meat since you turned into a zombie?¡± ¡°Forget it, there¡¯s not much time. I won¡¯t catch up with you anymore.¡±Du Mingyu¡¯s eyes flickered with cold light, and his simple and honest face was covered with coldness, ¡°Good brother, donate your crystal to me, ok?¡± Looking around, he locked on to a sharp stone. He grabbed the hair of the third-level zombie, carefully avoiding being bitten, and slammed the zombie¡¯s head against the sharp stone¡ªin this way, when Bai Wen smashed the third-level zombie into the wall, the back of his head smashed into a sharp stone as a result. It was Bai Wen who killed Zhu Yuan. Du Mingyu had a pleased smile on the corner of his mouth. The next second, his smile froze on his face. Before his brain had time to feed back an emergency response to his body, the whole person swirled and flew up. Like a balloon that has lost its air inside, smashing all over the wall over and over again. Then, he also slammed into the hole that the third-level zombie smashed into. The hole expanded twice its original size. As he flew out, he slammed into an abandoned car, which was instantly smashed into a pile of metal. The loud noise made everyone subconsciously stop what they were doing. The members of Ye Feng looked blankly at Du Mingyu, whose life or death situation was unknown. A ¡°WTF¡± popped up from the top of their heads. ¡­what did just happened? ? ? References CH 56 Thud Thud Thud! The deeply cracked earth was closed just as before by an invisible force. Bai Wen hurriedly took three steps backwards. The tip of his right leg hit the ground a little harder, with the tip of his toe as the center, the ground cracked, but somehow he stably retreated. His throat rolled, as if he had swallowed something. His face turned pale for a moment, and then returned back to normal. One of the old zombie¡¯s arms turned into a twisted posture. After two ¡°Ka ka¡± sounds, it was turned back by himself. It seems that in the fight between the two sides, one person and one zombie had not taken much advantage. ¡°This is, what¡¯s going on?¡± Liu Shiyuan turned her neck stiffly, and with the vision of an ability user, she could see through the hole in the wall that the third-level zombie has crashed into, who has yet to come up ever since. It didn¡¯t seem to be possible to injure Du Mingyu to this extent. Du Mingyu is a B class ability user after all! Bai Wen coughed, when he fought against the old zombie, from the beginning to end, he didn¡¯t use his gun. Nowadays, whether it¡¯s dealing with ability users or high-level zombies, guns are rarely used. With the strength of an ability user, bullets can generally be avoided under normal circumstances. But if one of them suddenly shoots during the battle, the chance of the other party being unlucky is greatly increased. Moreover, there will always be times when abilities are exhausted. So it is much safer to have a gun by your side. Therefore, ability users will be equipped with guns on their bodies. At this moment, although it might not be useful, Bai Wen took out a gun. He looked around vigilantly. The surroundings were as quiet as a pool of stagnant water, and then a ripple suddenly appeared in the pool of stagnant water¡ªDu Mingyu¡¯s body twitched as if receiving an electric shock, and a painful groan came out of his mouth. One after another, as if countless hooks protruding into the eardrums of the Ye Feng team members, it went all the way within, tightly clutching onto their hearts. ¡°There are others.¡± Bai Wen¡¯s words made everyone¡¯s scalp turn numb in an instant, both their front and back were cold. Ignoring the severe pain from his ribs, Yu Xiaole gritted his teeth and stood up: ¡°There are others?¡± ¡°It seems that you guys have made up your mind to kill us quickly.¡± He glared at Luo Yesheng angrily, ¡°It¡¯s a shame just now I still¡­ Bah!¡±[1] Luo Yesheng opened his mouth, but he was speechless. He didn¡¯t even know the reason for Zhu Yuan¡¯s sudden attack¡ªassuming that Du Mingyu is indeed Zhu Yuan¡¯s enemy, therefore, Zhu Yuan was so stimulated that he went crazy? However, no one can prove this at all. The only one who can prove it, is Zhu Yuan himself. But he has become a zombie, so what proof can he take? He had just fought fiercely against that Tang person just now, which consumed a lot of his energy. After thinking about it, he was ready to speak. ¡°It¡¯s that big bad guy!¡± In this almost suffocating silence, a soft childish voice suddenly sounded, and everyone subconsciously looked where the sound came from. Then Yu Xiaole¡¯s mouth widened little by little in surprise. So big that it could fit an apple. What did he just see! At some point, a small figure stood on the fence of the rooftop, and then that small figure¡­ jumped down! No, no, not jumping, to be precise, it was ¡°floating.¡± She fluttered lightly, like a piece of weightless feather, and ¡°floated¡± to the center of the battlefield. When she landed and stood firmly, everyone could see clearly that this was a little girl wearing a pink cartoon suspenders, revealing her white small and fleshy arms. The lower body wears a short skirt with lace, which almost covers the knees. The workmanship of the small leather shoes worn on her feet is very high-quality at first glance. There is a circle of sequins on the edge of the soles, which glitters and flashes along with the little girl¡¯s movement. It was particularly eye-catching. The soft long hair is draped behind her back. There are two long braids on both sides, which are tied with colored bands at the end. A butterfly hair clip is placed at the beginning of the braid on both sides of the top of her head. The butterfly gently shakes as she walks, which is as vivid and realistic as a real butterfly. Such trinkets, of course, came from daddy Jiusi. ¡ª¡ªNong Jiusi disliked the clothes in Bian Bian¡¯s cabinet very much, and the ¡°clothing¡± column in the market was gray, which couldn¡¯t be purchased. But how can this be difficult for Lord Jiusi? He instructed Nong Tang to buy some clothes and accessories for the little girl, and all of it was stuffed into the game. However, Bian Bian¡¯s two braids were actually done by Luo Yesheng¡¯s hands. Bian Bian¡¯s skill of tying her own hair herself in comparison to Uncle Luo¡¯s skill, is simply not too good. Bian Bian was not concerned about these big bad guys¡¯ expressions as they looked at her. Seeing that Uncle Zhu Yuan was smashed into the wall by these bad guys, the little girl was very anxious. She tried hard to see Uncle Zhu Yuan, but she was on the rooftop, and no matter how hard she looked, she couldn¡¯t see the situation inside the wall. However, it was unknown what her father had done, and suddenly she could see the situation inside the wall¡ªshe saw the big bad guy saying something to Uncle Zhu Yuan. After a while, he took a sharp stone and was about to smash Uncle Zhu Yuan¡¯s head into that stone. Bian Bian was so angry. Her little face was tense. She raised her little finger and pointed at the twitching Du Mingyu. Her eyes were filled with tears of anger, and there was a sobbing tone in her voice: ¡°That big bad guy, he smashed Uncle Zhu Yuan with a stone!¡± ¡°I saw it all!¡± Ye Feng members: ¡°¡­¡± After a long while, Liu Shiyuan spat out a sentence with difficulty: ¡°So¡­you did this?¡± She meant that Du Mingyu was beaten like this is Bian Bian¡¯s doing. Thinking about the situation where the little girl floated down from the rooftop, Ye Feng members looked at each other, and a sentence popped into their minds: With Du Mingyu¡¯s tragic appearance without any resistance, could it be that this little girl is an A class boss? ? ? Their eyes met as they secretly communicated: But it¡¯s unlikely ah, how old is she? You can¡¯t judge a book by its cover. What type of ability does she have? Even the captain didn¡¯t notice her existence, which means that she was well hidden. Practically without feeling the fluctuations of her ability, she could hurt Du Mingyu up to this extent, and still come down from the rooftop¡­ with all of this, I actually thought of a possibility. What? ¡­mental ability? Everyone¡¯s eyes turned dull for a moment, and their secret exchange was interrupted. ¡°You big bad guys, my grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan didn¡¯t do anything, why do you want to beat them!¡± Bian Bian said fiercely, the child¡¯s big eyes were full of anger towards them, so much that several adults could actually see the majestic burning anger in her clear and bright eyes. Each of them somewhat uncomfortably looked away. How does this end? The little girl¡¯s revealed hand[2] is no less than that of the captain, maybe even stronger than the captain. The other party also has a fifth-level zombie. There are five of them, yet the combative power has already gone to both of them.[3] If one were to say that they have the upper hand at the beginning, with the appearance of the little girl, their little advantage had completely disappeared. ¡°That¡¯s also that zombie¡­ it was your uncle who moved first.¡± Facing the little girl¡¯s bright eyes, Liu Shiyuan¡¯s righteous words became inexplicably weaker, ¡°Since you have seen it, you should know, if it did not attack my teammates first, there would be no such thing now! Could it be that my teammates will just stand there and let your uncle bite and turn them into zombies? !¡± ¡°Little friend, you can¡¯t be unreasonable just because you¡¯re young and that zombie is your uncle, okay?¡± Bian Bian was still too young, so after listening to this long passage of Liu Shiyuan, she needed a little time to digest the meaning. The more Liu Shiyuan talked, the smoother it became. Reason was originally on their side. When she finished her last word, the young lass¡¯ body suddenly froze. She felt a terrifying danger. It was hard to describe¡­ It was as if she was passing through a deep part of the jungle, with no figure in sight or the road ahead. Surrounded by danger. There could be a fierce tiger lying beside her feet, which could pounce and bite her neck in the next second. It was unknown whether it was just her delusion or not, but she felt her throat become dry and painful. As if something was really choking her neck. No one at the scene saw Lord Jiusi¡¯s long legs move, circling around Liu Shiyuan, with a leisure appearance, as if taking a casual walk. A faint green glow flashed between his fingers. Then he continued to look at the little one. Looking forward to what the little girl would do next. Bian Bian herself proposed to go down the roof. ¡°Dad, I¡¯m going down to help Uncle Zhu Yuan.¡± The little girl flung her short legs and was about to rush forward as an example. Lord Jiusi thought it was troublesome so he jumped down lightly with the little girl in his arms. What appeared in the eyes of others is Bian Bian ¡°floating¡± down by herself. ¡­¡­ ¡°It can¡¯t be said like that. I¡¯ve said that there must be a misunderstanding.¡± Luo Yesheng said at a critical moment, ¡°Everyone calm down, things have become like this. It¡¯s better to talk calmly about what made my family go out of control. ¡° After saying that, out of the corner of his eyes, he saw Bian Bian wiping her wet eyes with the back of her hand. There were crystal tears on her eyelashes, he immediately felt distressed. He raised his hand to touch the little girl¡¯s head, but was bounced off by a force. ¡°¡­¡± Almost forgot, since Bian Bian can come down from the rooftop, it must be her dad¡¯s doing. Her father is here. Luo Yesheng¡¯s scalp went numb in an instant. He withdrew his hand in a well-behaved manner. Bai Wen was silent for nearly ten seconds, and then he took the gun under Luo Yesheng¡¯s sight. He had no expression. Perhaps, even if he had an idea, it could not be seen. Then, he turned his head and instructed Tang Ci: ¡°Go and see Du Mingyu¡¯s situation. ¡° Tang Ci immediately took the order and go. After a while, he brought Du Mingyu, who had fainted, over. Du Mingyu was seriously injured, but it wasn¡¯t fatal so he was still alive and well. It is estimated that his body is in so much pain that even though he had fainted, his expression doesn¡¯t look very good. ¡°Regardless of the reason, the so-called non-eating-human zombie in your mouth injured two of my team members.¡± Bai Wen pointed at Yu Xiaole, and indifferently said, ¡°I can ignore Du Mingyu¡¯s injury, but you are responsible for the injury of another team member.¡± ¡°Captain!¡± Everyone was shocked. What the captain said was¡­ taking a step back? Even Luo Yesheng was taken aback. This captain was too easy to talk to. ¡°Uncle Zhu Yuan.¡± Bian Bian trotted over. Everyone was slightly startled, only to discover that the fifth-level zombie had entered the hole in the wall at some point, and dragged out the crushed third-level zombie. The third-level zombie¡¯s right leg was twisted into a section after another, unable to stand. In addition, a large part of his chest was shrunk. If this level of injury was placed on another person, he would have breathed his last long ago. Looking at the appearance of the third-level zombie at this moment, Bian Bian sniffed her little nose, and the tears that were finally stopped aggrievedly fell pa ta pa ta[4] once again. ¡°Hoho.¡± The fifth-level zombie probably wanted to say: Don¡¯t cry, he won¡¯t die. The third-level zombie let out a low cry, raised his still intact hand to touch little Bian Bian, but was swatted by the fifth-level zombie mercilessly. Without any better option, he bitterly sat on the ground and tried to fix his broken leg. ¡°Uncle Zhu Yuan didn¡¯t want to bite that big bad guy for no reason, because that big bad guy is his enemy!¡± The little girl turned around and stood in front of the two zombies in a protective posture, and faced Bai Wen aggressively. She also saw that this big bad guy is the head of all the big bad guys. References CH 57 The child¡¯s soft voice resounded in the silent environment. Yu Xiaole¡¯s ribs hurt badly, but the little girl¡¯s words made him subconsciously retort: ??¡±What enemy, what are you talking about!?¡± Bian Bian¡¯s eyes were red, her little finger pointed at the comatose simple and honest man on the ground, and asked in a nasal voice: ¡°This big bad guy is called Du Mingyu, right?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Yu Xiaole nodded, almost forgetting that the one he was talking to is just a little girl. ¡°Then he¡¯s Uncle Zhu Yuan¡¯s enemy. There is nothing wrong.¡± Although Bian Bian spoke slowly, her words were eloquent and logical. She recalled the day when she first met Zhu Yuan, and said seriously, ¡°That day I washed my little skirt clean and placed it on the balcony to dry, and then I heard gunshots. Right there.¡± The little girl pointed out exactly where she was at that time. The balcony outside the kitchen on the third floor. Then she da da da ran to the street, raised her little hand, and made a shooting motion: ¡°That big bad guy was standing beside a car. He shot Uncle Zhu Yuan and drove away.¡± ¡°I heard Uncle Zhu Yuan said very angrily and sadly, ¡®Du Mingyu, you are going to die a horrible death!¡¯, I remember it very clearly, I can¡¯t remember it wrong.¡± Bian Bian said, ¡°Uncle Zhu Yuan also killed two monsters, and then he flew up. Grandpa said, when you have the ability to help people, you must help them, so I saved Uncle Zhu Yuan.¡± ¡°Uncle Zhu Yuan made me a lot of delicious food, he was very good¡­ But he turned into a monster later, yet Uncle Zhu Yuan never bit people. He definitely wouldn¡¯t bite people.¡± ¡°This big bad guy did it on purpose. He bullied Uncle Zhu Yuan who couldn¡¯t speak. He¡¯s very bad! You guys are very bad too!¡± In the face of the little girl¡¯s fierce accusation, the Ye Feng members were inexplicably guilty, but Liu Shiyuan got the third-grade wooden crystal that Du Mingyu gave when he joined the team and successfully advanced. She immediately said: ¡°Little friend, Du Mingyu told us that he and Zhu Yuan were good friends. The two killed a third-level zombie beast together. Unfortunately, Zhu Yuan sustained injuries and died. Du Mingyu was our teammate, we can¡¯t rely on your one-sided story and just believe what you just said.¡± In Bian Bian¡¯s perspective, what she said was the truth, so others should believe what she said. She understood what Liu Shiyuan said, but she couldn¡¯t refute it. Her little face turned pale with anxiety: ¡°I-I didn¡¯t lie.¡± ¡°Everyone, I think what Bian Bian said is very clear.¡± Luo Yesheng walked over, ¡°She¡¯s just a child, so there¡¯s no need to make up such detailed lies. She just repeated what she saw and remembered, that¡¯s all. You also don¡¯t have to wonder why a child can remember so clearly, I believe you all know what¡¯s going on in your heart.¡± ¡ª¡ªBefore the eyes of several members of the Ye Feng team revealed the ¡°WTF! This little girl is a big boss¡± meaning. Luo Yesheng saw it all in his eyes. Even if he couldn¡¯t know the specific content of their exchange, it was still possible to guess. Since this group of people mistook little Bian Bian as a powerful ability user, he would naturally use it to beat them at their own game, so as not to expose the existence of ¡°Dad¡±. Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then their expressions changed. They all didn¡¯t speak. If they go according to what the little girl said, they would be completely unreasonable. Even the injured Yu Xiaole should not hold the other party accountable. So much that, the best way is to hand over Du Mingyu directly. But¡­ ¡°Captain, how about we wait for Du Mingyu to wake up before asking him again?¡± Beads of sweat rolled out of Yu Xiaole¡¯s forehead due to pain. Du Mingyu has always been honest and sincere in the hearts of the team members. Usually, Du Mingyu will also mediate in everyone¡¯s quarrels. Now that they found another image of him from the little girl¡¯s mouth, it is really difficult to put the two together. ¡°I think, maybe¡­ maybe there is some misunderstanding.¡± In the end, he didn¡¯t even know why his voice was getting smaller. ¡°No need to ask.¡± Bai Wen said coldly, ¡°When we were leaving, Du Mingyu made a gesture to Zhu Yuan.¡± ¡­Huh? Everyone looked at each other. Bai Wen pinched his glabella with a rare ugly expression: ¡°¡­I thought that gesture might be Du Mingyu trying to get Zhu Yuan to remember.¡± After all, according to Luo Yesheng, those two high-level zombies evolved consciousness. Then it¡¯s also possible to awaken their memories. Du Mingyu and Zhu Yuan are good friends¡­Although Bai Wen has always held an unconvinced attitude towards Du Mingyu¡¯s words, this is just a subjective feeling. There is no evidence. Not to mention, Du Mingyu is also a member of the team. ¡°We¡¯ve been used as gunmen.¡± Bai Wen calmly concluded in one sentence, unable to discern his mood. The team members opened their mouths, intending to refute, but could not find a point to refute. Then ultimately lowered their heads with a gloomy expression. Sometimes once a conclusion has been reached on a certain matter, when you look at it again, you will find a difference¡ª¡ªfor example, when a few of them were entangled with Luo Yesheng and the fifth-level zombie, instead of helping, Du Mingyu ran into the broken wall instead. It can be said that he was only concerned about his best friend, who had become a zombie and was not able to recognize people. It can also be said that he went in to take the opportunity to kill the third-level zombie in order to obtain the crystal. Once the third-level zombie dies, judging from Luo Yesheng¡¯s and the fifth-level zombie¡¯s reaction, they would definitely fight them to death, and they will fight with all their might. If Bian Bian did not appear, with the strength of the Ye Feng Team, it is very possible to cooperate with each other to kill the fifth-level zombie and Luo Yesheng. Moreover, they came to M City for the mission, so not only will they complete the mission, but they can also get the rewards when they return to the base, and they¡¯ll have two more high-level crystals. There was no loss in this single trip and they instead made a profit. Going a step further, they promised Du Mingyu that they would find a third-grade fire crystal for him, but they didn¡¯t find one along the way. At this time, the team had a fifth-grade metal crystal and a third-grade wind crystal, so they could exchange the third-grade wind crystal for a third-grade fire crystal with someone else. Shit, can¡¯t think about it anymore. Thinking about it, they felt more and more stupid. Looking at the simple and honest man who¡¯s similar to a rag bag on the ground, thinking back to the time he usually gets along with them, what is hidden under that face that always smiles? ¡°I¡¯m suddenly a little cold.¡± Liu Shiyuan murmured while rubbing the goose bumps on her arms. Tang Ci opened his arms and mischievously winked at her: ¡°Wifey, come into my warm embrace.¡± ¡°Get lost.¡± Tang Ci was very regretful, he then turned to pat Yu Xiaole¡¯s shoulder. Yu Xiaole was usually close to Du Mingyu. Yu Xiaole clutched his ribs, sullenly. ¡°But we still have to take the person.¡± Bai Wen unhurriedly said with the same expression, ¡°Ye Feng Team doesn¡¯t have the habit of abandoning their seriously injured teammates halfway. I also can¡¯t really push him over to your uncle to be bitten.¡± He stared at Bian Bian¡¯s clear eyes and bent slightly, taking Bian Bian¡¯s height into consideration. His demeanor and tone did not treat Bian Bian as an ordinary child, but instead placed Bian Bian in the same position as himself. Bian Bian pursed her lips. Thinking that this big bad guys¡¯ head doesn¡¯t seem so bad. She looked at Luo Yesheng as if asking for help, the latter¡¯s eyes were full of encouragement. Only Bian Bian could be considered Zhu Yuan¡¯s real ¡°family¡± in the scene, and she is the only one who has the qualification to make decisions on behalf of Zhu Yuan. ¡°However, what Du Mingyu did cannot be forgiven. In accordance with the rules of the Ye Feng Team, I will abolish his ability.¡± Bai Wen added. Bian Bian didn¡¯t know what ¡°abolishing his ability¡± meant, but from Uncle Luo¡¯s expression, she could tell that the big bad guy¡¯s head gave a very severe punishment for the big bad guy surnamed Du. After hesitating for a while, Bian Bian turned her head and looked at the third-level zombie who had already straightened his leg and was slowly hitting his bones with his hands to align and integrate them. ¡°Then¡­then do as you said.¡± After a while, the little girl nodded seriously. ¡°Thank you.¡± Bai Wen stretched out his calloused hand. What is this big bad guy¡¯s head thanking her for? Bian Bian was at a loss. She knew what it meant when others stretched out their hand¡ª she¡¯d seen grandpa and other uncles meet and express friendship before, they would shake hands. She had never experienced shaking hands. The two hands, one big and one small, were clasped together. Saying that it was clasped, but in fact, Bian Bian¡¯s little hand was holding Bai Wen¡¯s index finger. ¡°My name is Bai Wen.¡± ¡°My name is Bian Bian.¡± Bian Bian reflexively responded politely. The next second, Bai Wen uttered a sentence that left everyone present with a blank expression¡ª¡ª ¡°Bian Bian, I want to challenge you.¡± ! ! ! ¡°Captain!¡± Yu Xiaole was stunned and became incoherent. The depression and sadness brought by Du Mingyu¡¯s true face instantly dissipated, ¡°That, that, that¡¯s just a little girl ah.¡± Liu Shiyuan: ¡°Captain, it¡¯s not good for you to be like this, right?¡± Tang Ci: ¡°Captain, shall we withdraw first?¡± The three team members seemed to be frightened, and each one tried to dispel Bai Wen¡¯s thoughts with words. It is common for an ability user to challenge another ability user to learn from each other. Those who are experienced know that fighting is the fastest way to improve strength. There is no other way. In order to improve their strength or break through a bottleneck, many ability users will choose to fight. As for fighting, there are various ways. There are those like Luo Yesheng who specially look for high-level zombies to fight with¡ª they can fight if they can, and they can also get crystal. If they couldn¡¯t win the fight, then run. Others, like Bai Wen, send out invitations to challenge other ability users, on the grounds of learning from each other. Both sides point-and-shoot.[1] Bai Wen is young yet he has dual abilities. If he wants to advance his dual abilities at the same class, while gaining strength to become stronger than those of the same class at the same time, naturally the effort and sweat he put in will also be multiplied. He ignored the chatter of his teammates. His straight forward gaze was locked at Bian Bian. The expression in his eyes was extremely serious¡ª¡ª He¡¯s serious about the challenge invitation. It¡¯s not a joke. Luo Yesheng eyelids twitched as if they were having cramps. He calmly pulled Bian Bian behind him: ¡°Captain Bai, isn¡¯t it a bit out of status for you to challenge a five-year-old girl?¡± Bai Wen shook his head: ¡°Although Bian Bian is young, her strength is very strong. I think she should be an A class. Moreover, her ability happens to restrain me. Such a master, it would be a pity to miss it.¡± Luo Yesheng: ¡°¡­¡± You are blind, ok? Where does our Bian Bian look like a master? Also, where did you see her ability restrain you? ? ? Probably seeing Luo Yesheng¡¯s strange expression, Bai Wen suddenly lowered his head. His gaze fell on Bian Bian, who was peeking behind Luo Yesheng: ¡°The object of my invitation is Bian Bian, whether to accept or to reject, it should be answered by Bian Bian herself. I think Bian Bian has the ability to judge.¡± However, how can Bian Bian understand what a challenge is? ¡°Big bad guy¡¯s head, are you going to hit me?¡± She asked blankly. Being crowned as the head of the big bad guys, Bai Wen¡¯s face changed in an instant. If you didn¡¯t observe carefully, it would be difficult to find out. Also, the corners of the mouths of the other Ye Feng members had long twitched¡ª wanting to laugh, but didn¡¯t dare to. It was very hard to hold it in. ¡°¡­No.¡± Bai Wen seemed to be facing the fact that Bian Bian was only five years old at this time. Her logical thinking was different from that of an adult. He rubbed his temples, probably thinking about how to explain the meaning of ¡°challenge¡± to the little girl. No one noticed that Luo Yesheng¡¯s expression froze for a moment. There was a small force at the top of his back, writing something¡ª in a blink of an eye, he understood. Bian Bian¡¯s dad is writing on his back! He almost forgot that there¡¯s also an invisible person at the scene. This feeling is too weird, nothing like a human finger touching his back. Moreover, when he realized that Nong Jiusi was standing behind him, the hairs on Luo Yesheng¡¯s neck stood up one by one without exaggeration. Nong Jiusi: ¡°¡­¡± It was unknown how long it took, yet it seemed that only a moment had passed. Luo Yesheng finally felt what ¡°Dad¡± wrote¡ª¡ª ¡°Promise him.¡± What? Promise what? Bewilderment flashed through Luo Yesheng¡¯s dark pupils, then it quickly receded. He understood what her father meant. It was for him to let Bian Bian agree to Bai Wen¡¯s challenge invitation. ¡°¡­¡± After swallowing with his dry throat, Luo Yesheng, who was sweating on his forehead smiled stiffly: ¡°Bian Bian, agree to Captain Bai, ok?¡± ¡°?¡± Bian Bian bit her little finger. But, she can¡¯t beat the big bad guy¡¯s head ah. References CH 58 In fact, the situation at the scene is quite ridiculous, or in other words, if there is a bystander watching quietly, he will definitely be confused. There was a bloody man lying on the ground, which looked like half of his foot was in the coffin, but no one paid him any heed. He was left to fend for himself. Not far away, two zombies were stupidly standing quietly, neither screaming nor biting people. They look cute. In front of them stood a small figure, and now this small figure was being challenged by a powerful ability user whose strength was not lower than that of an A class. Exactly like an elephant challenging an ant. At this moment, the other members of the Ye Feng Team wished they could grow a few more hands, so that they could restrain their captain at once and run away. Even if the little girl is an A class ability user, isn¡¯t she just this big? No matter how you look at it, it feels like their own captain is bullying the little girl. However, there¡¯s a trace of shame that rose in the hearts of the team members after the little girl nodded and agreed to the challenge. One after another face palmed as they look at Luo Yesheng There is a row of question marks on top of their head. It is estimated that regardless of the relationship between Luo Yesheng and Bian Bian, judging from Luo Yesheng¡¯s previous reaction, he should be very fond of the little girl. As a result, not only did he not stop it, but instead made Bian Bian agree to the challenge. But why? Confident in the strength of the little girl? Combat and real strength are two different things. Some people have very strong abilities with almost zero combat experience. Even if they encounter someone weaker than themselves, they won¡¯t even know how they died. Just like a giant with bare brute force, no one dares to confront him head-on. But as long as one uses one¡¯s brain a little, and uses one¡¯s own strength to attack the other¡¯s weaknesses, it is not difficult to defeat a giant. In other words, if the little girl¡¯s ability is very strong, and she has little actual combat experience, compared with Bai Wen, who has survived in battles all year round, who¡¯s strong and who¡¯s weak is clear at a glance¨Dhow much combat experience can a child have? It was impossible to restrain the captain and run halfway. Everyone stepped back to make room for the challenge. Even the old zombie dragged the third-level zombie back, as if to make sure that his most precious treasure would not have an accident. Everyone¡¯s attention was on Bian Bian and Bai Wen. In contrast, no one paid attention to the two zombies. Bian Bian looked at the head of the big bad guys with big eyes. Thinking of fighting the big bad guy¡¯s head, the little girl pursed her lips, and unconsciously hugged the little bear in her arms tighter. ¨D¨DYes, Bian Bian¡¯s understanding of ¡°challenge¡± is ¡°fighting¡±. Speaking of which, Bian Bian had fought. It was when she was three years old, her grandpa took her to live in a small base for only a month. This small base was later destroyed by a zombie tide. There are quite a few survivors in the base, and Bian Bian is the youngest. Apart from her, there¡¯s also a little boy of about seven years old. His parents are both ability users, so he was able to survive. There are only two children in the base hence, the little boy is inevitably a little curious about this little sister, so he often comes to Bian Bian. Even in the base, grandpa took Bian Bian with him wherever he went, and never handed her over to others. However, it¡¯s rare to meet peers who are not of the same age. When the little boy came over to find Bian Bian to play, not only would grandpa not refuse, but he would also encourage little Bian Bian to make friends with this little brother. The seven-year-old boy and his parents have experienced three years in the apocalypse, so he already looked like a little adult. Therefore, he takes great care of his little sister, and would occasionally share the snacks he saved with Bian Bian. Coaxing her to call him brother. Sometimes the little brother would kidnap little Bian Bian away when grandpa wasn¡¯t paying attention¨Dsaid it was kidnapping, but in fact, he was taking little Bian Bian from the place where he lives to the yard downstairs, and then swish swish[1] climbed up the tree a few times to show little Bian Bian his superb tree-climbing skills. After climbing up on top of the tree, looking down, one would face little Bian Bian¡¯s adoring eyes accompanied with a soft, milky cute voice: ¡°Brother is amazing.¡± But the car overturned once. There were several teenagers in the base. Because grandpa was a powerful ability user at the base, everyone respected him, and didn¡¯t dare to be presumptuous even to Bian Bian. The teenagers probably wanted to please Bian Bian. They usually don¡¯t have the chance to get close to her. This time, Bian Bian was kidnapped by his little brother and was taken downstairs. When the opportunity came, they rushed over and expressed that they wanted to take Bian Bian to play. Bian Bian was not familiar with them. After grandpa¡¯s teaching, not everyone can take her away. Facing the goodwill of the teenagers, Bian Bian said seriously: ¡°I have brother.¡± At this time, the little brother, who¡¯s afraid that they would forcibly take Bian Bian away, neatly stepped down from the tree and pulled Bian Bian to go back upstairs. The teenagers looked displeased. What? Treating them as bad guys huh? Escaping at the sight at once? As a result, one of the teenagers pushed the little brother. Probably the force was too much for a seven-year-old kid that the little brother was immediately pushed to the ground, knocking his head. Seeing her brother being pushed, little Bian Bian got angry, with puffed cheeks she shouted ¡°Don¡¯t bully brother¡±, and pushed the boy who knocked her brother. In the end, instead of pushing someone down, she pushed herself into a stagger, and sat with her buttocks on the ground. It was so painful that her puffed cheeks deflated, forcibly trying not to cry. But golden peas were already looming in her eyes. The teenagers were immediately dumbfounded¡­ This guy started crying before she was even kidnapped out to play. When the adults found out, they couldn¡¯t even explain! When the little brother saw Bian Bian fall, he thought that the teenager had done it. Without a word, he got up and rushed towards the teenager with a clenched fist. The confused child was uncontrollable. It was not good for the teenager to fight back so he was beaten on his body painfully. When the other teenagers saw their companion being beaten, they hurriedly stepped forward to help lift the little brother away. So many people were bullying brother together. Hence, the loyal Bian Bian, quickly got up and joined the battlefield to help her brother. And this is how the fight started. Afterwards, Bian Bian and his little brother did not suffer any injuries, but a few teenagers have several tooth marks on their hands and legs¨Dbitten by Bian Bian. Grandpa properly taught Bian Bian: Must not fight with others casually. Bian Bian nodded obediently, while she secretly thought in her heart: She isn¡¯t fighting, she is helping brother. ¡­ Two years later, facing a taller and stronger opponent, Bian Bian doesn¡¯t even know how to start. If it wasn¡¯t for Gray Gray in her arms, the little bear who gives her a little courage, the little girl would¡¯ve drilled behind her grandpa. Cannot beat ah! Why did Uncle Luo ask her to agree? The little girl was very distressed. Just at this moment, Bian Bian suddenly felt her hand being held. In the next second, the little girl, who didn¡¯t know what to do, bent her eyes into cute crescents. Ah right! Forgot that dad was here! ¡°Bian Bian, I¡¯m going to start.¡± Facing the opponent, who¡¯s only five years old, Bai Wen showed 12 points of seriousness. Not only did he not hold back when he took a shot, a water ball suddenly appeared out of thin air and instantly wrapped Bian Bian¡¯s small body. Upon seeing this, Luo Yesheng¡¯s eyelids twitched. He had just suffered a loss from this water ball. Once the body is wrapped in this water ball, strong water pressure will come from the surface. It was as if the body had entered tens of meters into the deep sea??, along with lack of oxygen. A person¡¯s first reaction to a sudden lack of oxygen is to find ways to get it. It will be difficult to think of other things in mind. He knew that her father wouldn¡¯t just watch Bian Bian have an accident, but when he saw Bian Bian wrapped in a water ball, Luo Yesheng uncontrollably stood up¨D¨D His worries were clearly unnecessary. With a soft pop, like a balloon that had been poked a hole, the water ball turned into a water curtain and fell, wetting the ground. Looking at Bian Bian, she didn¡¯t even move a bit from beginning up to now. Even her expression didn¡¯t change. She¡¯s still smiling with bent eyes. There was not a drop of water on her face. In other words, the water ball just now didn¡¯t touch her at all. Ye Feng team members: ¡°¡­!!!¡± Immediately after that, the ground under Bian Bian¡¯s feet shook violently. Then it suddenly split open, and a pitch-black hole emerged. Looking down from the crack, there were turbulent deep waves that were surging. As if opening an invisible giant mouth, which was waiting for its prey to fall in. Luo Yesheng¡¯s pupils shrunk to the size of a needle tip. From a bystander¡¯s point of view, it can be seen that the reason why Bai Wen was so strong is not only because of his water ability, but also because he possessed earth-based ability. This is actually a dual-type ability user. It seems that Bian Bian is caught in a dead end. She can only be forced to fall into the crack. Once she falls, she will be swept into the waves and disappear completely. It was a wonder whether Bai Wen¡¯s trick was created by combining his dual abilities and then merging it with the terrain? If he had used this to deal with grandpa before¡­ Puchi¡ª¡ª No one knew what happened. Bai Wen, who performed this trick suddenly vomited a large mouthful of blood. His originally upright body bent down, as if he was suffering from an unbearable pain. His exposed skin was red and swollen. The veins on his neck and temple were bulging. Finally, with a bang, his right knee heavily hit the ground. Directly knocking a hole out of the hard cement stone slab. Bian Bian, who¡¯s on the opposite side, lightly took a step to the side. The slit under her feet closed in a blink of an eye, as if the image of what had happened just now was only everyone¡¯s illusion, nothing more. However, upon closer inspection, it can be seen that the place where the ground closed is obviously was forcibly closed by a powerful force. The Ye Feng team members looked at each other. They saw their silly appearance with their mouths wide open from each other¡¯s eyes. Luo Yesheng quietly exhaled. Bai Wen¡¯s body swayed, and then he exerted a force on his right leg and stood up with difficulty. His complexion was as pale as paper. The blood on the corner of his mouth was slightly dazzling, but his direct eyes lit up with a scorching light at this moment. ¡°Big bad guy¡¯s head, are you okay?¡± In the terrifying silence, a child¡¯s soft voice sounded surprisingly a bit harsh. Of course, this is just the feeling of the Ye Feng members. Their eyes on the little girl has completely changed. Yu Xiaole even protected his ribs and took a step back. With the captain¡¯s strength, even against an A class upper-level, he has the capability to fight. In the end, how strong is this little girl to be able to defeat their captain so quickly? ? ? ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Bai Wen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his backhand, and looked at Bian Bian with burning eyes. After a while, he said in a confident tone, ¡°You are an S class.¡± Bian Bian was confused. Although she knew what abilities are from her grandpa, she didn¡¯t know much about ability class. From Bai Wen¡¯s movements and expression, it can be seen that this big bad guy¡¯s head seems to be saying that she is very powerful. Bian Bian, who¡¯s in the center of the battle, actually didn¡¯t know anything. The scene she saw was blurry. It was not until she was led a step by her father that she could see things again before her eyes¡ª she saw the big bad guy¡¯s head kneeling on the ground while spitting blood. The big bad guy¡¯s head said she was amazing. That is to say, Dad was amazing. Bian Bian¡¯s eyes were shining. She nodded heavily. Her little face showed a bit of smugness and pride. It turns out, Dad is so amazing! ¡°¡­¡± The Ye Feng members took a breath of cold air. S class ability user? What the hell! There¡¯s only two in the entire Beiji, okay? References CH 59 Even if one doesn¡¯t want to believe that a little girl has S class ability, the result before one¡¯s eyes was clearly laid in front of the Ye Feng team. Not to mention that even the captain believes it. Everyone could only close their mouths. Wanting to see but not daring to look at Bian Bian. ¡°Big bad guy¡¯s head, I have beaten you. You can go now, ok.¡± The words that Bian Bian said just now carried much more weight than before. ¡°Tang Ci, go and drive the car over.¡± Bai Wen was in no rush to respond to Bian Bian. He whispered an order to a team member. After a while, Tang Ci drove the car over. Bai Wen said to Luo Yesheng, ¡°I initiated the challenge, Bian Bian agreed, and I lost. I have some firearms and supplies here. You can choose whether you want weapons or supplies.¡± Saying this, he gestured to Tang Ci to open the trunk. Luo Yesheng: ¡°¡­¡± Damn, so arrogant. There are more than a dozen boxes of food, ham, canned meat, instant noodles, biscuits¡­ as well as drinks and beer in the trunk. The overall quantity isn¡¯t large, but there¡¯s a lot of variety. Since the other party wanted to send something, Luo Yesheng did not act polite. The weapons they brought were useless. He pointed to one of the boxes of canned meat and did not ask for more: ¡°Just this.¡± Tang Ci muttered: ¡°Really know how to pick good things. ¡° But he also swiftly moved a heavy box of canned meat out of the car, and then looked at Bian Bian. The latter¡¯s height was not enough to see the inside of the car, however she couldn¡¯t help but be curious. While pretending not to care, she stood on tiptoe and looked hard. That little look is strangely cute. Tang Ci couldn¡¯t help but be amused, thinking that no matter how powerful this big shot is, she¡¯s only five years old. So on his own initiative, he took another canned fruit juice drink and handed them to Luo Yesheng. The atmosphere between the two sides is unprecedentedly harmonious. ¡°Some food processing factories in the base are already on track.¡± Bai Wen probably saw something from Luo Yesheng¡¯s expression. He pondered for a moment and said, ¡°With your and Bian Bian¡¯s strength, you will definitely be valued when you go to the base.¡± Luo Yesheng thought to himself, it is Bian Bian¡¯s ¡°S¡± class ability that would be valued. ¡°But when you get to the base, your two family members can¡¯t follow.¡± Bai Wen also said. ¡°Thank you, we¡¯ll think about it.¡± Now it¡¯s time to leave. Several people got into the car swiftly, and also conveniently carried the passed out Du Mingyu up. Before leaving, Bai Wen pressed the car window down and looked at Bian Bian, but talked to Luo Yesheng: ¡°Regarding Bian Bian¡¯s class ability, no one else will know except us.¡± Is this to keep it a secret? Luo Yesheng raised his eyebrows and watched the armored car leave in the cloud of dust. He subconsciously looked at Bian Bian. ¡°Dad¡± should be standing beside her. He asked Bian Bian to agree to Bai Wen¡¯s challenge and act on the sly. Intending to let the members of the Ye Feng Team to think that Bian Bian had the terrifying strength of an S class. Isn¡¯t it in the hopes that the members of the Ye Feng Team spread Bian Bian¡¯s strength? Once there is an S class ability user here, unless the person in charge of the base comes, who would dare to come here recklessly? But if Bai Wen plans to hide Bian Bian¡¯s existence, wouldn¡¯t it go against her father¡¯s plan? ¡°Your Excellency?¡± After thinking about it, Luo Yesheng decided to ask the other party¡¯s meaning. He¡¯s just a nanny, so he should first listen to the imperial decree before taking the next step. ¡°Uncle Luo, Dad has left.¡± Bian Bian raised her little hand, Dad squeezed her wrist just now, so she knew that Dad had left. Luo Yesheng opened his mouth, forget it. The boss has his own arrangements. He opened a can of juice for Bian Bian, and then looked at the box of canned meat. It was a mix of several kinds of canned meat, and the date was recently. The largest base in the north really lived up to its reputation. The food alone was enough for him to yearn for. ¡°Bian Bian, it seems that we really have to go to the base.¡± Bian Bian took a sip of the fruit juice, it was a bit of a soda. It was sizzling. The little girl¡¯s little face frowned, she thought it was delicious. Finally she said ¡°But what about Grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan?¡± ¡°Can¡¯t leave Grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan behind.¡± Bian Bian said firmly. Luo Yesheng couldn¡¯t help but sigh. This is their biggest problem in going to the base. * In the armored car. Yu Xiaole¡¯s ribs have been connected. He is half leaning on his seat. In the middle of the car lies the half-dead Du Mingyu, whose injuries have been simply treated. ¡°Captain, will you really abolish Du Mingyu¡¯s ability?¡± Liu Shiyuan was in a complicated mood, ¡°If it¡¯s abolished, he¡­ won¡¯t be able to survive.¡± Bai Wen sidestepped the question: ¡°Apart from Bian Bian and Luo Yesheng, have you found anyone else?¡± Several people paused before realizing what their captain asked. ¡°There shouldn¡¯t be.¡± Yu Xiaole racked his brain, ¡°There¡¯s just the two of them living¡­ Captain, do you suspect that there were other people there at that time?¡± Liu Shiyuan knew that the captain wouldn¡¯t ask such a question for no reason. She thought deeper: ¡°Captain, do you suspect that Bian Bian is not an S-class, and the real S-class is someone else that was just hiding in the dark, and borrowing Bian Bian¡¯s hand to accept your challenge?¡± What? Yu Xiaole and Tang Ci¡¯s bodies couldn¡¯t help but straighten up. ¡°Well.¡± Bai Wen nodded. ¡°I just said that a little girl couldn¡¯t be an S-class.¡± Yu Xiaole murmured, ¡°Even if she has awakened her ability from birth, it¡¯s impossible for her to advance to S-class in such a short period of time.¡± Tang Ci expressed his opinion, ¡°But if there is another person who¡¯s already an S-class ability user, why didn¡¯t he showed up in person and instead use Bian Bian¡¯s hand to spar with the captain?¡± ¡°Yeah, Captain. I couldn¡¯t guess this point ah.¡± Liu Shiyuan took over and speculated, ¡°Also, even if he¡¯s an S-class ability boss, how did he conceal his aura in the course of his actions without us noticing.¡± From beginning to end, they thought it was Bian Bian who took action. They didn¡¯t realize that there was another person. Several people were staring at Bai Wen with wide eyes. Even Tang Ci, who¡¯s driving, looked through the rearview mirror. ¡°It¡¯s just my guess.¡± Bai Wen was silent for a few seconds, then frowned, and even lowered his voice, ¡°During the fight, I felt that the other party was¡­ warning me, asking me to be more interesting. But it¡¯s possible that it¡¯s just my illusion.¡± Everyone understood. They finally knew why the captain was so easy to talk to, and still chose to hide the fact that there is an S-class ability user in Jinxin Community. ¡°That¡­¡± Yu Xiaole muttered slowly, ¡°Do you guys think that it¡¯s possible that that S-class is a zombie in hiding?¡± After speaking, he found that everyone was looking at him as if they were looking at a fool. He couldn¡¯t help but be embarrassed, ¡°I¡¯m just guessing.¡± At this moment, a painful sound rang out, followed by a hoarse cough. Du Mingyu, who was lying in the middle of the carriage, twitched and slowly opened his eyes. * With a box of canned meat, Luo Yesheng boiled a large pot of meat porridge in the kitchen. After the porridge was cooked, Bian Bian used Zhu Yuan¡¯s own rice bowl to scoop him a big bowl of porridge. ¡°Uncle Zhu Yuan was injured and has taken revenge today, so he needs to eat more.¡± The third-level zombie hugged his own bowl and clumsily held the spoon. Unafraid of being scalded, he proceeded to eat. Compared with the crude table manners of the third-level zombie, Grandpa ate much more graciously, and used the utensils more smoothly than before. Bian Bian distributed a bottle of canned drinks for each person. There were six cans in total. She had drunk a can before, so there were five left. She was reluctant to drink any more during dinner. Therefore, apart from the vacant spot in front of her, everyone else had a can in front of them. Soon, grandpa stretched out his pale blue fingers, and pushed the can of drink in front of him to Bian Bian, while muttering in a low voice. Seeing this, the third-level zombie followed suit and pushed the can over, which belonged to him. Then, the two zombies turned their heads together, staring straight at Luo Yesheng with their cold gray eyes. Luo Yesheng, who had just pulled the ring apart and was about to take a sip: ¡°¡­¡± CH 60 ¡°What are you doing? Lie down obediently!¡± The door of the ward opened, and Mu Xingzhi, dressed in a white coat walked in, squinting at Xiu Jin who was sneakily trying to hide something after he came in. His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince might have Mercury retrograde[1] in the past few days. First, there was a problem in his business, which he needed to deal with in person so he had to leave the capital star. Thus, he took a group of people to go, but he encountered a group of star thieves halfway, and they fought without saying a word. Xiu Jin was riding a small mecha. Because he wanted to keep a low profile, the overall function of the mecha leaned more on being cozy, which was suitable for sightseeing. In the face of a professional and experienced group of star thieves, this small mecha is not so impressive. But fortunately, although the mecha is small, the materials used were the most expensive. Just the cost for the material of the fuselage alone can create two military armors¡­ These have become the main reason why Xiu Jin was able to escape with his life. The star thieves probably did not expect that a small mecha could be so resistant to attacks. Furthermore, the rescue was able to come so quickly! It was originally fine, but something bad happened. After the rescue arrived, the small mecha which protected Xiu Jin was damaged and it also ran out of its power source. So Xiu Jin had to be transferred to the rescue team¡¯s mecha¡ª¡ª Then, he was assassinated. The assassin moved too fast. Kerfu, who has been closely protecting Xiu Jin, discovered it too late. Even if the blood clan was famous for their speed, he was only able to knock Xiu Jin down. The bullet hit below his abdomen away from the fatal point, piercing him through. Kerfu knew something was wrong. The rescue team were all royal guards and were absolutely loyal. How come someone suddenly assassinates him? The assassin must be caught and questioned. Who would have thought that the assassin would not be able to hit a single blow, so he simply committed suicide. He took some kind of a new neurotoxin, so it was absolutely impossible to save his life. Xiu Jin was seriously injured. When the bullet penetrated his body, it released the same neurotoxin that the assassin used to kill himself. The gunshot wound could be quickly treated through the medical chamber, but the medical treatment on the mecha couldn¡¯t cure the neurotoxin. Seeing that Xiu Jin was in danger, Kerfu suddenly remembered that Xiu Jin had a mer pearl¡ªthe useless mer pearl. Mermaids change their scales every hundred years. When they change their scales, they turn into mer pearls. This thing is relatively precious as mermaids firmly hides them just like an undergarment and never gives them to others Mer pearl also has a function of detoxifying hundreds of poisons. When the three Xiu-brothers were born, Mu Xingzhi gave one each. When Xiu Jin was a child, he drugged himself in order to test the use of the mer pearl. As a result, that mer pearl was useless. Since then, he did not think much of the efficacy of that mer pearl, thinking that Mu Xingzhi just coaxed them to play. From then on, he treated that mer pearl as a marble. ¡­¡­ Fortunately, although Xiu Jin treated that mer pearl as a marble, it was still sent by Mu Xingzhi. He later embedded the pearl into one of his favorite belt buckles. This time, Xiu Jin happens to use this belt on this trip. With trembling hands, Kerfu undid Xiu Jin¡¯s belt, pulled out the mer pearl on it and stuffed it into Xiu Jin¡¯s wound, saving Xiu Jin¡¯s life that was hanging by a thread. At that time, Xiu Jin¡¯s heart had stopped beating, and then, without stopping, he sent the person to Mu Xingzhi at the fastest speed. The news of the assassination of the seventh prince of the Empire made the Emperor furious. He ordered a thorough investigation to find out who was responsible for Xiu Jin¡¯s assassination. This incident made a lot of noise in the star network. But until Xiu Jin lay in the medical chamber for a week and finally woke up, they still haven¡¯t found who assassinated Xiu Jin. The assassin who committed suicide is an unregistered resident, the star network doesn¡¯t have his information as he sneaked into the rescue team with a ***.[2] After Xiu Jin woke up, he was admitted to the ward of the hospital where Mu Xingzhi was staying. This was what Mu Xingzhi requested from the Emperor. He believed that it was safer for Xiu Jin to stay in the hospital until he recovered. During the hospitalization, Mu Xingzhi confiscated all of Xiu Jin¡¯s electronic devices, even his photon computer¡ªon the grounds that all electronic devices stimulate his nervous system. ¡°¡­Nothing.¡± Xiu Jin studied his nails, stuffed his photon computer under the mattress, and looked back at Mu Xingzhi innocently, ¡°I just got off the bed to go to the bathroom. You want to control this too! I¡¯ve already told you, I¡¯m well enough to be discharged!¡± ¡°Whether you can be discharged or not, I have the final say.¡± Mu Xingzhi was indifferent to his daily futile struggles. He then stretched out his hand, ¡°Take it out.¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t let me lift the mattress.¡± ¡°¡­¡± The seventh prince silently cursed profanities, pulled out his photon computer, and threw it over with a blank face. Mu Xingzhi took it and lightly pressed on its activator. This is an unregistered, new photon computer, which he can guess with his feet was the smart butler¡¯s ghost, who comes to deliver nutritious meals on time every day¡ª also, only AIs would dare to do so. There was only one icon on the photon computer. Mu Xingzhi glanced at it, the icon was the avatar of a little girl, smiling at him with bent eyebrows. ¡°I didn¡¯t know you¡¯re interested in this kind of little game.¡± Mu Xingzhi glanced at it twice. Under Xiu Jin¡¯s nervous expression, he didn¡¯t open the game. With a flip of his fingers, he put the photon computer in the pocket of his white coat. Confiscated. This is the fifth photon computer that Mu Xingzhi has confiscated since Xiu Jin was hospitalized for so long. Xiu Jin still had time to delete the game icon the first four times, but this time it was too late. Dammit, Mu Xingzhi knows that I¡¯m playing a child raising game¡­ It¡¯s too shameful, no, he has to get it back! ¡°Just read a book if you¡¯re bored.¡± Mu Xingzhi opened the cabinet next to him, ¡°There are so many, enough for you to choose.¡± Xiu Jin let out a ¡°hum¡± from his nostrils without saying a word. With a look of displeasure at being robbed of his photon computer, he tried to get close to Mu Xingzhi, wanting to take the photon computer back stealthily. ¡°I have other patients,¡± Mu Xingzhi put his hands in his pockets and smiled slightly, ¡°The queen will visit you later, will you see her?¡± Xiu Jin suddenly looked indifferent, and he stopped trying to grab his photon computer anymore. He turned around and lay back on the bed. Took a book, and sneered: ¡°Okay. Tell her, if she dares to come, I also dare to beat her.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Mu Xingzhi exited the ward, closed the door and said helplessly to the graceful woman standing outside, ¡°Queen, you have also heard what little seven said. He has yet to recover from his injury and is playing a little temper. You[3] shouldn¡¯t mind.¡± The queen¡¯s delicate face showed genuine love, holding a handkerchief in her hand, wiping the corners of her eyes: ¡°How could I blame him? Little seven suffered this time¡­ Then you help me tell him, mother will come again next time.¡± She then glanced at the door of the ward reluctantly. Surrounded by a group of servants, she left the hospital with great momentum. Inside the ward, Xiu Jin turned over. The icy expression on his face changed, and then he tiptoed out of his bed. Came to the door and took a look to confirm that Mu Xingzhi had left. ¡°Simply a ghost.¡±[4] He muttered. Not knowing whether he was talking about Mu Xingzhi or the queen. ¡ª¡ªThe assassination of the Seventh Prince shocked everyone. There were many people who came to visit, but they were all blocked by Mu Xingzhi. Only the queen comes every day, showing deep affection between mother and son. There¡¯s also a rhetoric to the emperor: ¡°I know little seven doesn¡¯t like me, but this time it was so dangerous that he almost died. I¡¯m really distressed. If my sister knows, she will also hope for me to take her place and love little seven more.¡± ¡­¡­ Xiu Jin pressed a button on the bed and with a few clicks, the bed changed shape. The center sank, and inside was a storage cabinet. The seventh prince reached inside and took out a new unregistered photon computer. What a joke, knowing that Mu Xingzhi would confiscate electronic devices, he would of course, prepare a few more¡ª he asked the smart butler to take a box of unregistered photon computers. Enough! The game was skillfully turned on. Luckily there¡¯s the baby girl¡¯s company during this period of recuperation, although the time spent on playing the game each time cannot be too long. He was badly injured this time, and electronic devices did affect his nerves. The person would be uncomfortable playing games for too long. However¡­ only playing games can make him relax. Humming a little song, the first thing daddy Xiu did online was to poke Luo Yesheng a few times, and then drag him a few times. Causing the latter to fall and do a few somersaults. This way, the other party was more pleasing to the eye. From the photon computer¡¯s screen, Xiu Jin couldn¡¯t see the wind chimes hanging on the wall at all. Also, he had been a little puzzled lately. ¡°I always feel that the favorability level has risen more slowly than before.¡± The sudden increase in favorability level before made him confused. But now, the growth is slow and he still hasn¡¯t found the pattern. If he asks the system, the system will only throw the pot to the baby girl. Xiu Jin felt that the spicy chicken[5] system was targeting him. On the screen, the baby girl is sitting on the balcony with her head down as Luo Yesheng washes her hair. The two zombies were a little farther away with two buckets in front of them, obviously washing their hair too. Xiu Jin remembered that he had unlocked another column of food today. When he was preparing something earlier, he was interrupted by Mu Xingzhi who came in. He clicked into the market, and the four icons which were unlocked this time were beyond Xiu Jin¡¯s expectations. ¡¾Fruits and vegetables: Outstanding farmers can grow them in a very short time.¡¿ ¡¾Fertile soil: Match with fruits and vegetables, the growth will be gratifying.¡¿ ¡¾Pink pig: The fattest can be up to 300 catties. The advantage is that the meat is fresh and tender. The disadvantage is that it needs a lot of feed to fatten it.¡¿ ¡¾Pig Feed: Pink Pig¡¯s favorite.¡¿ This time, the unlocked icons were not limited to one purchase per day, but the price has increased several times compared to before. However, His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince was so poor that all he had was money. This amount of krypton gold in his eyes was no different to a dime. Considering the comprehensive factors, Xiu Jin¡¯s krypton gold bought two bags of seeds, several bags of soil, two pink pigs, and more pig feed. After deducting the fee, two pink and tender piglets appeared in the living room on the screen. ¡­¡­ ¡°What¡¯s that sound?¡± After washing his hair on the balcony, Luo Yesheng, who was gently wiping the little girl¡¯s soft hair with a towel, suddenly turned around and looked at the door of the balcony. Hum hum gwk gwk ~~ ¡°Uncle Luo, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Bian Bian¡¯s wrapped little head heard nothing. Luo Yesheng frowned. The two zombies farther away were both grunting as they wash their hair, so they didn¡¯t hear the sound inside the house. ¡°There are voices in the house.¡± Luo Yesheng took off the towel and put it aside, picked up Bian Bian, and walked to the door vigilantly. The next second, a pink and tender little thing rushed over. Luo Yesheng unexpectedly kicked it over, and the little thing pia flew out. ¡°Uncle Luo, what is that?¡± Bian Bian is curious. ¡°¡­¡± Luo Yesheng¡¯s eyelids twitched wildly. If he was not mistaken, it was a¡­ pig. There¡¯s actually an extra piglet in the house? ? ? No¡­ The fellow little piggy heard the sound from the kitchen, and hurriedly ran from the living room to the kitchen, hum hum gwk gwk, and kept using its pig¡¯s snout to nudge its companion on the ground. The one on the ground was also tenacious. He was kicked by Luo Yesheng and actually didn¡¯t die. Not only was it not dead, it wasn¡¯t even injured at all. It was nudged a few times by its companion, and it got up energetically. The two little pigs nudged each other for a long time, then they came over together with their four hooves, raised their black little eyes and looked at Bian Bian. Yes, they only looked at Bian Bian. They didn¡¯t even look at Luo Yesheng. Luo Yesheng: ¡°¡­¡± Fuck. Bian Bian¡¯s eyes lit up for a while, then she hurriedly slipped off Luo Yesheng¡¯s body. Apart from chickens, fish, and mice, Bian Bian had grown this big, yet she had never seen any other living, normal animals. She squatted on the ground and carefully poked the heads of the two little pigs with her hands. This poke seemed to open a certain mechanism, and the two little pigs directly nudged her to the ground, seemingly indicating their enthusiasm. Luo Yesheng passed over one person and two pigs and came to the living room. Sure enough, there were several large bags of pig feed in the living room. In addition, he picked up two bags of seeds on the table. Seeing this, his breathing suddenly became rapid. It¡¯s actually fruits and vegetable seeds, and still with soil! ¡°Sir,¡± Luo Yesheng took a deep breath and put down the seeds, ¡°Do you mean, Bian Bian and I don¡¯t need to go to the base, and that we¡¯ll continue to stay here?¡± Why else are they given seeds and pigs for. With these seeds, once they are planted, there will be an available food source, and there¡¯s also available meat. So they really don¡¯t have to go to the base anymore. Xiu Jin was asking the system about the gender of the two pigs. System:¡¾All males.¡¿ What?! Looking at the two pigs nudging his precious daughter, Xiu Jin had a dark face: ¡°Change their gender to female for me!¡± System: ¡­ Sick. References CH 61 The empty M city welcomed a group of survivors passing by. There were a lot of people, about over 20 of them, driving a total of three cars. From their travel-worn appearance, it seemed that they had lived on the road for a long time. ¡°Yo, there doesn¡¯t seem to be any zombies in this city.¡± A young man in the convoy who was looking through a telescope marveled. Anyone with a little bit of common sense knows that there are the most zombies in the city, and one or two can be seen in any corner. Some of them even hide, waiting for someone to pass by. However, if there were zombies nearby, they would have been attracted long ago by the sound of their convoy. ¡°It¡¯s so strange.¡± ¡°If something goes wrong, there must be a demon.¡± The speaker was a short-haired woman in a race-style vest[1] and combat trousers. Her exposed muscles were brimming with restrained strength. She is the only female ability user in the convoy, Xia Liuzhu. There are only three ability users in this team, and the rest are all survivors. Xia Liuzhu is their leader. She saved all the survivors, while the remaining two ability users joined them later. The destination of the group is Beiji. It is not difficult for ability users to go to Beiji, but with a group of ordinary people, how can the journey be easy? Originally, there were more than fifty people in their team, but now there are only more than twenty people left. ¡°Will there be high-level zombies?¡± Through the walkie-talkie, Tian Shu, the ability user in the second car analyzed, ¡°Should we take a detour?¡± ¡°The detour is too far.¡± Chen Xunfei, the ability user in the remaining car, said. ¡°We don¡¯t have enough diesel to make a detour, we must find diesel in this city.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s take a look.¡± Xia Liuzhu took a sip of water to rehydrate, ¡°I don¡¯t feel coercion belonging to high-level zombies.¡± ¡°Everyone be alert.¡± The convoy moved slowly, they relied on the map to find the gas stations in M City. But after finding several gas stations in a row, there was no gas in them as expected. They have been wandering on the road for more than a month, and now with great difficulty, they have finally come across a city, also there are no zombies. They agreed that they could find a place to get off and rest¡ª such as a bed. The survivors stared eagerly at the ability users. Xia Liuzhu glanced at the travel-worn crowd. Thought for a while, and said, ¡°Then find a place to stay here for one night.¡± After looking around, she found a hotel that looked fairly clean. Xia Liuzhu took the lead and led a few men whose skills were not bad among the ordinary people into the hotel to take a look. As a result, except for the black blood stains that solidified on the ground and the walls, which showed what had happened here, there was not a single zombie. ¡°Sister Xia, there¡¯s water!¡± None of the three ability users in the convoy was of the water ability, which meant that the convoy was very hard pressed on water. In addition, the cities they passed through practically have no water sources. Unexpectedly, there¡¯s still water running from the city¡¯s taps. This discovery made everyone jump in joy. After Xia Liuzhu said it was safe, they entered the hotel and took a bath as a group. Xia Liuzhu asked Tian and Chen to stay and look after the survivors: ¡°I¡¯ll go around to take a look if there are still survivors.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll be with you.¡± Chen Xunfei said. ¡°No need.¡± Xia Liuzhu smiled, ¡°It¡¯s more convenient for me to be alone.¡± This is the truth. Xia Liuzhu is an upper-level B-class ability user, while Chen Xunfei and Tian Shu are both C-class¡ª in fact, If it weren¡¯t for Xia Liuzhu¡¯s B-class ability, how could it be so easy to protect so many survivors going to the north base. Xia Liuzhu drove away. She is a rare spatial system. As the name suggests, the ability user that awakened the spatial ability has a specific space in their bodies to store a lot of things in accordance to the strength of their ability. In the post-apocalyptic era, if the abilities of each system are divided according to their abilities, the most precious ability will be the space system. But the space system has a fatal weakness¡ª except for storing materials, it has no ability to attack. As a result, the existence of the space ability, which once served as ¡°warehouses¡± was contested for, and there was no human rights. Moreover, many times, those with the spatial system are the main characters that were killed by others. Because once the ability user with the space ability is killed, the stored materials will all explode due to the death of its owner¡ª this is similar to the rare materials that will fall out when defeating the big boss in games. Xia Liuzhu is different from other space systems. She is unreconciled with the fact that her ability is only capable of storing materials. She exhausted her efforts in upgrading her ability. After reaching B class, she finally figured out another development for the space system¡ª It can allow her to perform a short-distance ¡°teleportation¡±, and it can also emit ¡°space blades¡± that are hard to guard against. These two abilities allow her to escape from almost any dangerous situation. There is a touch of residual light from the setting sun hanging in the sky, just like a woman in old age that still wears heavy makeup to make herself emit the most dazzling light¡ª Xia Liuzhu wiped off her sweat. The temperature can only drop a little after the sun has set and there is no trace of the afterglow. In addition to looking for survivors, she will explore the surrounding environment by the way. Xia Liuzhu did not deliberately hide her tracks, but there was not a single zombie or zombie beast along the way. Where did the zombies and zombie beasts in this city go? Passing by a shopping mall, Xia Liuzhu stopped and entered. There was a supermarket on the top floor of the shopping mall. She was going to go to the supermarket to see if there were any remaining supplies. All the way to the top floor, just after taking two steps, Xia Liuzhu stopped abruptly and looked at the front vigilantly¡ª there¡¯s a person there. The entrance of the supermarket was a mess. There¡¯s a fake tree that was tilted in the corner. The tree was filled with hanged dolls and other gadgets. There is a sign on the ground with the words ¡°Do not touch¡± written on it. The man is standing in front of the fake tree, wearing clean long trousers, with a tall and straight back. Xia Liuzhu, who did not expect to meet a survivor so soon, calmed down and said amicably: ¡°Hello.¡± As if he didn¡¯t hear her voice, the man ignored her and just raised his head to look at the top of the fake tree, where a doll hangs, covered with a lot of dust. He seemingly wanted to take down these things that were hanging on the fake tree, but he didn¡¯t know which ones to take. The choice was quite difficult, and it took him a while to decide for the doll on top. The fake tree was more than two meters high, and he couldn¡¯t reach it even if he stretched out his hand. ¡°Hello, may I ask¡­¡± Seeing that the other party didn¡¯t respond, Xia Liuzhu stepped forward while being secretly vigilant. With a bang, the man kicked down the fake tree unhappily after failing to get the doll on top, and then bent down stiffly to pick up the doll. Xia Liuzhu paused in her steps. Her eyelids twitched uncomfortably. She stared at the man closely, slowed down the other person¡¯s movements just now and then slowly played it in her mind. Do normal people need to be so¡­ stiff when they bend over? Like having rusted joints. Finally, he picked up the doll, then turned his head slowly. The corners of his mouth grinned in satisfaction, and he seemed to be smiling. Just that, the sharp teeth in his mouth that mutated due to infection¡­ how vicious it looked. ¡°!!!¡± That face was clearly that of a zombie, which has pale blue skin. In addition, the cold gray eyes that were staring at her without any emotion suddenly gave Xia Liuzhu goosebumps under the hot temperature. Do zombies also pay attention to pretending to be human now? So cleanly dressed! The zombie roared at her, turned its head and continued to circle around the fallen tree. In addition to the doll, he took a fancy to a sky blue bear. Xia Liuzhu was stunned on the spot. She held down the space blade that emerged from her palm and did not throw it out. What¡¯s the situation¡­ this zombie actually didn¡¯t attack her? ! Xia Liuzhu¡¯s heartbeat gradually accelerated, and now she couldn¡¯t care about finding supplies. She stared at the zombie. After the zombie took the bear and held it in his hand, he held the doll in one hand and the bear in the other hand. As if he had found what he wanted, he turned around and walked downstairs contentedly. Xia Liuzhu deliberately stood still. But the zombie just glanced at her, then withdrew his gaze and left. For some reason, Xia Liuzhu lifted her feet and followed before the chaotic thoughts in her mind were cleared. All the way out of the mall, the zombie walked in the opposite direction from where she came. Xia Liuzhu took out the walkie-talkie and wanted to notify her teammates, but the walkie-talkie was separated by a far distance so it couldn¡¯t be used. After thinking about it, she stuffed the walkie-talkie back into her pocket, squinted her eyes and followed behind the zombie. ¡­¡­ ¡°Uncle Zhu Yuan is back.¡± The balcony on the third floor can no longer be called a balcony, it should be called farmland. The wide balcony is divided into several areas, which were covered with fertile soil and planted with pumpkins, winter melons, cucumbers, green beans, eggplants, corn, strawberries, tomatoes and more than a dozen kinds of vegetables and fruits. All are full of fruit! This has also been harvested three times. Speaking of which, the balcony became like this all thanks to the seeds and soil bought by Xiu Jin¡¯s krypton gold. The seeds on the entire balcony were planted by Bian Bian. Luo Yesheng merely planned the layout. ¡ª¡ªThe seeds and soil that Dad gave were very strange. None of the seeds that Luo Yesheng planted sprouted. But, as long as they are planted by Bian Bian, they can be harvested in three days. As if they have taken a growth accelerator. On the side near the street, Luo Yesheng deliberately let Bian Bian plant two cherry trees. The two cherry trees that grew out of the balcony grew more than ten meters high in just five days after being planted by Bian Bian. As for how a normal cherry tree can grow so high? It is no longer within Luo Yesheng¡¯s consideration. Anyway, he wouldn¡¯t be surprised no matter how bizarre the things that her father gave him. Luo Yesheng often worried about the two fruit trees that were too tall and were bearing too many cherries¡ª they shouldn¡¯t have been planted on the balcony in the first place. In case the roots become unstable, they might fall down and the balcony would collapse. But no, whether the cherry trees or the balcony, they are all fine. Luo Yesheng was relieved, thus, he found a rope to weave a swing between the two cherry trees, so that Bian Bian could sit and swing. In order to avoid Bian Bian being thrown out, the swing is reinforced with a seat belt so that the little girl can be securely tied to the swing. With it, one of the must-play entertainment items of Bian Bian every day is the swing and no matter how high the little girl swings, she is not afraid. At this time, while swinging on the swing, Bian Bian happened to see Uncle Zhu Yuan coming back. Grandpa stood behind the swing and was in charge of pushing Bian Bian. Luo Yesheng was carrying an iron bucket with an apron. He had just finished feeding the pigs from upstairs, and was about to cut some more vegetables to feed them. Seeing Bian Bian swinging, he couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°Grandpa, don¡¯t push so high.¡± As for when the third-level zombie will return, it is not within the scope of the nanny¡¯s attention. Anyway, the third-level zombie will go out for a few laps every day and bring some gadgets back. ¡°Uncle Luo, Uncle Zhu Yuan is followed by an aunt.¡± Aunt? Luo Yesheng walked quickly to the edge of the balcony and looked down. Since following the zombie into the Jinxin community, Xia Liuzhu has felt the coercion belonging to a high-level zombie. Among the two options of ¡°continue to follow¡± and ¡°return to leave¡±, after hesitating for two seconds, she resolutely chose the first option. According to the coercion she feels, if there is a high-level zombie, it would be at level five at most. Even if she can¡¯t beat it, she could still escape with teleportation. She wanted to see what¡¯s the situation that kept the zombie from attacking her. When she heard the child¡¯s crisp voice, Xia Liuzhu¡¯s first reaction was that she had heard it wrong¡ª¡ª As soon as she looked up, she saw two trees appearing from the balcony on the third floor. She didn¡¯t recognize what kind of trees they were. All her attention was drawn to the swinging swing. There is a little girl sitting on the swing. The voice came from her. Xia Liuzhu finally understood why the zombie took the doll and the bear. They were clearly brought back for the little girl! She swallowed with her dry throat. ¡°Hoho~~¡± The third-level zombie shook the things in his hands towards Bian Bian as if offering a treasure. And then, Luo Yesheng¡¯s head leaned out from the balcony. His eyes met Xia Liuzhu¡¯s. ¡°¡­¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Luo Yesheng?!¡± Xia Liuzhu shouted without thinking. Luo Yesheng shrank his head back. His face was blank as if struck by lightning. As the swing swayed, Bian Bian¡¯s voice floated: ¡°Uncle Luo, do you know that aunt?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t know!¡± ¡°Luo Yesheng, get the hell out for me!¡± The next second, the woman¡¯s roar shook Bian Bian¡¯s small body as she trembled. This aunt is¡­ so fierce. References CH 62 As mentioned earlier, after Luo Yesheng¡¯s family was gone, he had a special ability attached when he awakened his ability, and then he was betrayed by his friends who coveted his special ability. For this reason, he became a ¡°scattered person.¡± Not living in the base, and only surviving outside. But, a person who often walks by the river, cannot avoid getting their shoes wet.[1] Although Luo Yesheng never took the initiative to be close to people, it can¡¯t be helped that there are those who would notice him living alone, and would take advantage of him. He is not made of mud,[2] but he has a ruthless side in his nature¨D the reason why he honestly stayed as a nanny was not entirely because of the reincarnation ring. In short, he almost lost his life after being calculated once. When he came back for revenge, his luck was a little bit worse, and his eyes were a little blind as he got the object of his revenge wrong. That mistaken target was Xia Liuzhu. Due to a mistake caused by accidental factors, the two of them have bad blood with each other. The process and the result were not good. In the end, Luo Yesheng quietly left some supplies to express his apology. He never imagined that one day, he would unexpectedly meet Xia Liuzhu here. Luo Yesheng briefly explained to Bian Bian how he and the fierce aunt ¡°knew¡± each other, and from his words, Bian Bian hit the nail on the head: ¡°So Uncle Luo, did you bully that aunt?¡± ¡°Of course not!¡± Luo Yesheng jumped directly. His face became quite strange, he seemed ashamed and angry. His appearance was exactly like he wished he had never met Xia Liuzhu. But Bian Bian didn¡¯t understand it, and secretly felt that Uncle Luo was trying to hide something only to make it more conspicuous¨D This idiom is something that she has recently learned yo. ¡°Is that fierce aunt a baddie?¡± Bian Bian asked again. Luo Yesheng said without emotion: ¡°Not really.¡± Then he added in Bian Bian¡¯s puzzled appearance: ¡°She¡­ used to be a police officer who liked to protect the weak. In short, she is not a bad person.¡± For Bian Bian, since the fierce aunt was not a baddie and knew Uncle Luo, she happily said, ¡°Then let¡¯s invite Auntie over to the house.¡± This is the first time that Bian Bian invited a guest to the house so she hardly waited for Luo Yesheng to nod and agree and immediately called grandpa to take her down. It was unknown if it was due to frequently eating the food that Dad Xiu¡¯s krypton gold bought, which includes the vegetables and fruits grown from the seeds. Grandpa regained some consciousness and refused to get too close to Bian Bian from the very beginning. Even though he was able to stand behind Bian Bian, he still refused to have contact with her. Now, he can already hug Bian Bian carefully. But maybe he was still afraid that he would accidentally hurt Bian Bian. Unless Bian Bian asked grandpa to hug her, only then would grandpa hug her. Usually, grandpa will still keep distance between him and Bian Bian. Little Bian, who was carried off the swing by her grandpa, waved to the aunt downstairs: ¡°Auntie, wait a minute.¡± Xia Liuzhu was pulled back by the little girl¡¯s voice from some kind of indescribable anger when she suddenly saw Luo Yesheng. After all, she¡¯s not an ordinary person so she quickly regained her senses. The third-level zombie did not leave and just stood there. But the body facing Bian Bian had already turned towards Xia Liuzhu. He¡¯s monitoring my movements. Xia Liuzhu thought vigilantly. She raised her head and glanced at the balcony on the third floor. This residential building is only five stories high, and only the third floor has a balcony. It is precisely because of this that the two trees were particularly eye-catching. Just now, her attention was on other things which made her almost forget other neglected circumstances. Xia Liuzhu looked at the two trees and her pupils suddenly shrank. The tree is full of red fruits. At first, she only wondered why two such tall trees would grow on the third floor balcony. Could it be that the real estate developer made it deliberately before the apocalypse? Until she found out that the fruit looked like cherries, she suddenly couldn¡¯t help it. And with her vision passing through the balcony, she could see that there were other things planted inside¡­ The big crystalline cherries took Xia Liuzhu¡¯s entire mind. A gust of wind just happened to blow, and she unexpectedly couldn¡¯t feel the heat. Her nose automatically filtered out all the other smells flowing in the air, leaving only a certain sweet fragrance emanating from those cherries. A lot of supplies are stored in Xia Liuzhu¡¯s space. These are all saved little by little in the early days of the apocalypse but the fruits she stored at that time had long been eaten. Occasionally passing through the deep mountains and old forests, one can actually find some fruits from those bushes. But most of the trees wither in the strange climate of the apocalypse. Even if one occasionally finds a few tenacious fruit trees, the wild fruits are thin and small and it tastes dry and bitter. Xia Liuzhu had only seen clusters of bright red cherries like this before the apocalypse. She didn¡¯t wait long. A few minutes later, she saw the little girl on the swing, followed by¡­ every hair on Xia Liuzhu¡¯s arm stood up. That¡¯s a zombie too! All the coercion comes from him. She had previously guessed that there is a five-level zombie here, and only the coercion of a level 5 zombie would make her feel threatened. But, she didn¡¯t expect that a fifth level zombie would quietly follow behind a little girl. When she thought of the actions of the third-level zombie¡­ Could she understand that the reason why the two high-level zombies were so humane and did not attack people was all because of a little girl? As for Luo Yesheng, who was following behind, Xia Liuzhu excluded him without hesitation¨D if he could make the two high-level zombies obey, then pigs could climb on a tree. Unconsciously, Xia Liuzhu¡¯s focus shifted from Luo Yesheng to the little girl. When the little girl and the fifth-level zombie approached, she subconsciously held her breath. ¡°Auntie.¡± Bian Bian said, ¡°Don¡¯t be scared, grandpa and Uncle Zhu Yuan will not bite people.¡± Xia Liuzhu thought to herself: Was it so obvious that she¡¯s afraid? ¡°For you.¡± Bian Bian trotted over and took out something from the small bag she carried on her body. It stands to reason that Xia Liuzhu should step back, but for some reason, her feet seemed to have taken root. Under little Bian Bian¡¯s clear and bright eyes, she stretched out her hand. Three plump and rosy cherries were placed in her rough palms, looking charmingly naive. ¡°These are the cherries I planted, they¡¯re really sweet. Auntie, quickly try them.¡± Bian Bian was full of joy. Her little bag was bulging, and it was full of cherries at a glance. There are too many cherries on the cherry tree, and a lot of cherries fall on the balcony or downstairs every day, and then break. The little girl is always distressed. Feeling of wasting natural resources recklessly.[3] Recently, she has learned several idioms through her father~ There¡¯s a voice in Xia Liuzhu¡¯s heart telling her that she couldn¡¯t eat it. Who knows if it is poisonous or not. On the other hand, under the little girl¡¯s expectant eyes, she stuffed a cherry into her mouth. Shit. It¡¯s too damn sweet. At this moment, Xia Liuzhu heard the little girl¡¯s waxy voice: ¡°Auntie, if Uncle Luo bullied you before, I could give you a lot of cherries and other fruits. Can you forgive him?¡± Xia Liuzhu : ¡°¡­¡± Luo Yesheng: ¡°!!!¡± He took his eyes away from Xia Liuzhu and looked at the little girl¡¯s back in shock¨D he thought that Bian Bian was simply happy to have a visitor after confirming through him that Xia Liuzhu wasn¡¯t a bad guy. It didn¡¯t occur to him at all that Bian Bian was hiding such thoughts. The touched nanny Luo forgot to correct Bian Bian for a while. He really did not bully Xia Liuzhu. On the contrary, Xia Liuzhu was stunned for a few seconds, probably not knowing how to answer Bian Bian. Her eyes flashed twice, and surprisingly met Luo Yesheng¡¯s gaze, she immediately found a topic: ¡°You have the nerve to let a child stand up for you. The face is really getting thicker and thicker, shameless!¡± Luo Yesheng was scolded for no reason, and his face darkened: ¡°You are too much ah, don¡¯t think you are a woman I¡¯ll¡­¡± ¡°Heh.¡± Xia Liuzhu interrupted him with a sneer, ¡°Do you think you can offset what happened in the first place by leaving a car full of supplies?¡± ¡°I said it was a misunderstanding. I apologized, and all the supplies were delivered. What else do you want me to do? Kill myself to apologize to you? !¡± The more he said, the angrier he became. ¡°Besides, the fault is not all mine, aren¡¯t you¡­¡± The words that were blurted out came to an abrupt stop when he caught a glimpse of the curious and doubtful little face of Bian Bian. Not only is little Bian Bian curious, she was also puzzled. The third-level zombie in the distance walked over quietly and stood alongside with the fifth-level zombie behind Bian Bian. The two cleanly dressed high-level zombies watched a man and a woman bicker with interest, especially the third-level zombie. His gray eyes keep turning, revealing invisible gossip: Go on, speak, don¡¯t stop! ¡°¡­¡± Obviously, Xia Liuzhu also noticed it, and forcibly held back the words to refute. The atmosphere was extremely strange for a moment. In the end, Bian Bian broke the silence and pointed to the pocket of Xia Liuzhu¡¯s combat pants: ¡°Auntie, there¡¯s talking there¡­¡± Xia Liuzhu quickly took out the walkie-talkie in her pocket. It emitted a zi zi electric current sound as well as an intermittent voice: ¡°¡­At¡­where¡­¡± It was her teammate who came looking for her, and was barely getting into the frequency range of the walkie-talkie. After deciding to follow the third-level zombie, Xia Liuzhu made marks along the way so it will be convenient for her to return later. But she didn¡¯t expect her teammates would come to look for her so quickly. She hurriedly said to Bian Bian: ¡°I brought a group of survivors to go to the base. Little sister, I can¡¯t take your things for nothing. How about this, is it okay if we exchange?¡± Bian Bian looked at Luo Yesheng. Luo Yesheng nodded. Xia Liuzhu¡¯s team members moved very fast. Half a minute later, Chen Xunfei¡¯s clear voice came from the walkie-talkie: ¡°Liuzhu, where are you?¡± ¡°You wait there, I¡¯ll be back later.¡± Luo Yesheng gave her a look. Xia Liuzhu did not let her teammates come over to find her. ¡°We¡¯ve encountered a third-level zombie beast.¡± In the rustling sound of the electric current, Xia Liuzhu found that Chen Xunfei¡¯s voice wasn¡¯t right, ¡°Tian Shu is gone.¡± If you listen carefully, you can still hear a helpless weeping voice in the background. ¡°What did you say?¡± Xia Liuzhu¡¯s brain buzzed. How could she still care about trading supplies for cherries, ¡°I clearly checked when I left, and there was nothing¡­¡± Chen Xunfei said hoarsely: ¡°It was hiding in the ventilation duct. It should be sleeping so you didn¡¯t find it, and then we woke it up.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Xia Liuzhu cursed fiercely. ¡°I took the rest of the people and ran in the direction you left. Tian Shu was left behind. It chased after a while¡­ Then, it just stopped chasing.¡± That¡¯s because they had entered the range of the fifth level zombie. The third level zombie beast naturally didn¡¯t dare to chase. ¡°Auntie, let them come here.¡± Under Xia Liuzhu¡¯s flushed eyes, Bian Bian¡¯s words soothed her like a gentle wind, ¡°There is grandpa here so those monsters dare not come over. It¡¯s very safe.¡± The third level zombie beast instantly reminded Bian Bian of the big ant before, and knew that that monster was very scary. That time, it was only with Uncle Zhu Yuan and dad¡¯s help that the monster could be killed. In addition, through Chen Xunfei¡¯s words, Bian Bian knew that someone was eaten by that monster. This reminded her of what her grandpa had said, that when she has the ability to save others, she should save them. Luo Yesheng frowned, opened his mouth to say something, glanced at Bian Bian, and swallowed the words back. The family grows so many vegetables and raises two pigs. This kind of life is like a paradise, and Luo Yesheng selfishly doesn¡¯t want too many people to know about it. Adults understand the philosophy of a commoner is innocent, but treasuring jade is a crime,[4] but Bian Bian do not. However¡­ Luo Yesheng glanced at grandpa. Suddenly feeling the comfortableness of life during this period of time has made himself less courageous. With him and the two zombies, can¡¯t he still let Bian Bian do something she wants to do? With grandpa¡¯s regained sanity, if he did not agree with Bian Bian¡¯s decision, he would have already made a sound to stop it. Besides¨D¨D There¡¯s the ultimate big boss. Luo Yesheng smiled self-deprecatingly and said to Xia Liuzhu, ¡°Bian Bian¡¯s right, let your convoy come here.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Xia Liuzhu thanked him in a low voice, and quickly left to pick up her team. At this time, Grandpa suddenly growled twice at the third-level zombie, as if he was explaining something. When the third-level zombie heard it, his head shook violently. Refusing very firmly. ¡°ROAR!!!¡± The old zombie¡¯s growl turned into a roar. ¡°¡­¡± The third-level zombie angrily shoved the doll and bear to Bian Bian, then resentfully turned around and ran away. The old zombie had given him the task of capturing the third-level zombie beast. Why him? Why didn¡¯t he go himself? He only knows how to call him! Then fight if he has the ability! ¡ª¡ªEvery time he gets angry, he forgets the fact that he can¡¯t win against that same kind. ¡°Uncle Zhu Yuan, come back early, don¡¯t be too late.¡± Thinking that Uncle Zhu Yuan was going out again, Bian Bian habitually told him. ¡°Hoho~~¡± The third-level zombie turned his head. The sound he emitted contained invisible ripples and even the slightest bit of anger couldn¡¯t be seen. Luo Yesheng was accustomed to watch from the sidelines. Although he couldn¡¯t understand what the two zombies were saying, even a fool could see that the angry third-level zombie was coaxed by Bian Bian. But Bian Bian didn¡¯t know it at all. After the little girl urged the third-level zombie, she said to the old zombie like a little adult: ¡°Grandpa, Uncle Zhu Yuan is stupid now, so don¡¯t bully him.¡± Grandpa took the doll and bear in her arms with a cool expression without saying anything. References CH 63 Don¡¯t look at the third-level zombie who usually walks stiffly and moves very awkwardly, in fact when he uses his abilities, one can¡¯t see his exposed cyan skin from behind, and it is difficult to identify him as a zombie. The third and fourth-level zombies correspond to B class human ability users. If Zhu Yuan initially mutated into a third-level zombie, after this period of time, he is already close to level four. Logically, zombies can¡¯t eat human food, and even if they do, they can¡¯t absorb the energy in it. They can only eat flesh and blood¨Dfor example, when Grandpa was inside the metal wall at the beginning and couldn¡¯t come out, it only took a month¡¯s time for him to become skin and bones. However, the two zombies followed Bian Bian, and ate the food that Bian Bian fed them. Their bodies were like that of humans, miraculously able to absorb the corresponding energy from these ordinary foods. This is probably due to the food fed by Dad Xiu. But zombies can¡¯t understand these. Anyway, he will eat what Bian Bian feeds him. He likes that little human. Although he always thinks that the little human should be delicious, as he like her so much that he should eat her in his stomach, so that they will be together forever; He was reluctant. He wanted to hide her and not let anyone snatch her. It¡¯s just that, he couldn¡¯t beat that same kind¡­ The third level zombie could be said to be suffering. This active-minded zombie ran fast while having these strange thoughts in his head. He didn¡¯t know where the third-level zombie beast was. But following the direction of that human just now¨Dhe smelled a lot of fresh flesh and blood. Along this direction, he could determine the approximate range of the third-level zombie beast. When the time comes, it would definitely be much easier to find. Xia Liuzhu was wholeheartedly thinking about her companions that she used teleportation. She was so fast that she didn¡¯t even know that there was a third-level zombie following behind her. However, the speed of the third-level zombie wasn¡¯t slow. Not long after Xia Liuzhu and the convoy gathered, the third-level zombie caught up. ¡°Ah!¡± Seeing this scene, the terrified team members screamed in horror¨D they are all ordinary survivors. Originally, with Xia Liuzhu leading them north to the base, everyone has already experienced many crises, big and small, and their courage has been cultivated. But they had just escaped from the mouth of the zombie beast, and had finally met Xia Liuzhu. Before they could breathe a sigh of relief, a hideous zombie that looked different suddenly appeared. It¡¯s like a group of lambs that had just left the wolf¡¯s den had entered the tiger¡¯s lair. How can they not be scared? ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, don¡¯t worry.¡± Xia Liuzhu looked back and saw the third-level zombie. Her eyelids heavily twitched, and she almost thought in a bad direction. Unexpectedly, the third-level zombie didn¡¯t even look at them. Skillfully using the wind ability, he ¡°flew¡± over their heads and cleanly left them behind. Survivors: ¡°¡­¡± Xia Liuzhu breathed a sigh of relief. The tensed muscles in her back relaxed. She then led the people to Jinxin Community. ¡°Plus Tian Shu, there are five missing.¡± While walking in silence, Chen Xunfei informed Xia Liuzhu of the situation, ¡°Including you and me, there are nineteen left.¡± Xia Liuzhu gritted her molars fiercely. Chen Xunfei¡¯s eyes were red. There were many wounds on her body. She said in a hoarse voice, ¡°If I had stayed and joined forces with Tian Shu, this might not be¡­¡± Xia Liuzhu held back her tears. She had learned from everyone that the third-level zombie beast did not immediately attack the survivors, but laid dormant and quietly planned. Then the first chosen target was Tian Shu. It seems to have some consciousness. Knowing that if it killed the humans with ability first, it can peacefully enjoy a hearty dinner later. After the hotel was inspected, they believed that there was no danger. In addition, there was not a hint of zombies around, so the remaining two ability users also tacitly relaxed. Therefore, under the sneak attack of the third-level zombie beast that is equivalent to a B-class ability user, Tian Shu, who was an upper-level C class, was seriously injured even though he didn¡¯t lose his life in an instant. His body was pierced by the zombie beast. Such an injury, even if he didn¡¯t die due to it, he would still mutate due to infection. Thus, Tian Shu tried his best to bring up the rear and fight for an opportunity to let the convoy escape. ¡°You did nothing wrong.¡± Xia Liuzhu said calmly, ¡°If you stay, you will only die.¡± Her face tightened into a decisive line. As if swallowing all her emotions into the abyss, she slowly said, ¡°Settle down everyone. I will kill that beast myself.¡± After speaking, the young woman faced a busload of terrified and panicked survivors, who were anxiously running for their lives. Everyone squeezed into the largest bus in the convoy. These people are all survivors rescued by Xia Liuzhu on the road. Originally, there were more than 50 in number, but along the way, there were fewer and fewer survivors encountered and there were fewer and fewer people in the convoy. Except for her and Chen Xunfei, there are only seventeen left. Although there¡¯s still panic and fear in the eyes of these people, when they saw Xia Liuzhu, their eyes unconsciously revealed confidence and a stable expression. It seemed that her appearance has given everyone a reassuring pill. Even if the road ahead is filled with danger and hardships, they were not so afraid. ¡°When I left, I met two survivors. One of them was a high-level ability user I knew before. He was very strong, and now we will go to their place to rest for the time being. That place is very safe.¡± Xia Liuzhu said, ¡°Next, everyone listen carefully to what I will say and remember it firmly.¡± ¡°We are going there as guests, so everyone should restrain themselves. What to do and what not to do, you should all be clear in your hearts. If I found out that someone has ill-intentions, I will not be merciful.¡± ¡°Sister Xia, don¡¯t worry.¡± The survivors nodded their heads seriously. Many people thought with a wry smile; Even Sister Xia said that the strength is very strong. Such a strong person is a big boss. Have they eaten enough that they have the energy to provoke? Xia Liuzhu thought for a while, but still didn¡¯t say anything about the fifth-level zombie. She didn¡¯t think about it earlier, but now she realized how terrifying it is that the two high-level zombies didn¡¯t attack people and also developed self-awareness. Subconsciously, she felt that the less people knew about this matter, the better. Not for anything else, but for the little girl who took the initiative and invited her to take the team over. * Searching all the way, as soon as he left the coercion range of the fifth-level zombie, the third-level zombie saw the traces left by the third-level zombie beast. There¡¯s a mass of gooey white stuff on the ground. He stepped on it, and when he raised his leg again, he found that he couldn¡¯t lift it up. ¡°¡­¡± At the end, he used his ability to lift his foot up. Then, a white thread was instantly pulled out from the gooey white stuff. What is this thing? The third-level zombie looked at it with disgust. He then pulled hard and the gooey white thread snapped. His jio[1] was finally free. ¡°ROAR!!!¡± Finally, he roared provocatively. He was also on the third level. When confronted with this kind of provocation, the other party would only get angry and would not back down. If it was a fifth-level zombie, it would only hide when it smells it from a distance. On both sides of this street, there are few abandoned cars covered with loess. The building on the right looks as if it used to be a gym, which was only two stories high. At this moment, there¡¯s a sudden creaking and teeth-grinding sound in the air. Then a black shadow passed over the dusty glass. The third-level zombie who heard the sound stared closely at the glass outside the gym, and when he saw the shadow, he turned his head sharply. With a loud bang, a black shadow fell behind him, and his body directly crushed an abandoned car, raising the dust that spread across the sky which irritated the nose of the third-level zombie. Heaven knows why a zombie¡¯s nose still itches! This is a huge spider, its body is at least the size of two cars¨D If the third-level zombie is still a human, he will definitely think of what Chen Xunfei said over the walkie-talkie. The third-level zombie beast hid in the ventilation duct and laid dormant, thus Xia Liuzhu didn¡¯t find it. After Xia Liuzhu left, the team members woke up the zombie beast in the ventilation duct. How big can a ventilation duct be? However, with the size of the spider zombie beast in front of him, it obviously couldn¡¯t squeeze itself into the narrow ventilation duct. What made it so big in such a short time? Or did the third-level zombie find the wrong one? Whatever the reason is, looking at this hideous-looking spider with eight hairy legs, the third-level zombie instinctively felt that he couldn¡¯t beat it. Just like facing the fifth-level zombie¨Dhe has a clear self-awareness. If you can beat it, then beat it. If it can¡¯t be beaten, then it can¡¯t be beaten. What to do then? If it¡¯s a human, the first thing that the third-level zombie should do now is to find a way to hide, and wait for an opportunity to escape. As long as the green hills remain, there will be no worries for shortage of wood to burn.[2] But, he usually dares to provoke even the fifth-level zombie at home. Knowing that he couldn¡¯t beat him, he still doesn¡¯t converge. Now, facing a big spider that he couldn¡¯t beat, of course he will¨D Continue to provoke la.[3] So, the third-level zombie, who didn¡¯t know what fear is, roared and pounced on it in a very brave posture.
