When Li Xin'er returned after collecting her things, the rooster was shaking off the water droplets from its body next to the red basin.

Seeing that all the stains on its body had been washed away, Li Xin'er nodded in satisfaction and led the way.

"Follow me."

It glanced at the red basin, and there seemed to be some confusion in the pea's eyes.

Li Xin'er was surprised by its intelligence, which was much higher than she had imagined. In a good mood, she explained it to her.

"It's too dirty, I don't want it."

She has plenty of space in this kind of basin.

The rooster even nodded in a very human-like manner before following her with peace of mind.

"From now on, you'll be called a fighter jet."

"Ooh ooh ooh~"

It's a chicken, not a machine.

"It seems they've agreed."

"oh···"

No····

"Stop 'oh,' I don't understand."

As the sun sets and its afterglow falls, the man and the chicken walking side by side are bathed in a golden light.

After walking for a while and searching two small shops, it got dark. Li Xin'er found a clean room to have dinner. Her soul power, which was locked on the orphanage, detected that Li Yiyuan and the others had arrived at the orphanage.

The gate was closed, and there were zombies lying on the ground at the entrance. Li Yiyuan's expression changed drastically. He slammed on the brakes, got out of the car, and went to check.

Li Feng, Xiaomi, and Xiaomai also got off the bus.

The car headlights cast two warm yellow beams in the darkness.

Li Yiyuan recognized one of the corpses on the ground as a guard from the orphanage. As he approached the gate, the overwhelming stench of decay made his heart skip a beat, and his hand trembled as he pushed the door open.

Li Feng stood beside him, gripping his knife in a defensive stance, and whispered a reminder.

"Brother Li, be careful."

Along the way, the four encountered many more zombies, and while cooperating well, they also became more vigilant.

Li Yiyuan pursed his lips and nodded stiffly.

'Crunch'

The large iron gate was pushed open, and the sound was particularly loud in the quiet environment.

The scene before me was one of headless corpses scattered everywhere, black, dried bloodstains, and some of the scattered heads still having their mouths opening and closing...

Li Yiyuan's legs went weak and he almost collapsed, but Li Feng, who was next to him, caught him in time.

Li Yiyuan walked numbly inside, recognizing familiar faces among the pile of corpses, his eyes growing increasingly red.

Li Feng and Xiao Mi followed in silence, their hearts also heavy. Most of the corpses were children, making the impact all the more intense.

This damn apocalypse.

Li Yiyuan ran frantically towards the back, searching for survivors room by room.

The supplies piled up downstairs confirmed his suspicions: Li Xin'er had returned.

They found eight survivors in the dormitory building.

Once she was certain that Li Yiyuan had found them, Li Xin'er withdrew her soul power and stopped paying attention, then took the fighter jet into the space.

The moment she withdrew her mental energy, Li Yiyuan seemed to sense something leaving and glanced out the window.

Tang Ling, a caregiver at the orphanage, cried uncontrollably as she recounted the events of that day, her voice choked with sobs.

"When I woke up, the yard was in chaos, and all sorts of crying, screaming, and shouting were coming from the room..."

Li Yiyuan asked in a hoarse voice, "Sister Tang, was Li Xin'er just back?"

Tang Ling shook her head blankly, "I didn't see her. Is she back?"

She hadn't dared to leave the house since she entered that morning. The slightest noise would cause the monster in the hallway to frantically claw at the door. They waited cautiously for rescue, not daring to make a sound.

Fortunately, there was food and drink in the room, so they didn't go hungry.

"Yes, there are some things she left downstairs, so she must have been back."

Li Yiyuan looked out the window, staring at the dark mass below that he couldn't make out the shape of, and whispered.

Unexpectedly, she left a batch of supplies for the orphanage at this time.

Is it an attempt to completely sever ties?

When Li Feng and the other two learned that Li Xin'er had come and gone, disappointment was evident in their eyes.

Li Feng sighed, "I wonder when I'll be able to see Sister Xin again next time."

Although they were never meant to be together, parting without saying goodbye left a bitter taste in their mouths.

I don't know if there will be a next time. It seems that surviving the apocalypse is not easy.

Both Xiaomi and Xiaomai quietly had tears in their eyes.

Li Yiyuan and his men rallied their spirits and cleaned up the orphanage again. All the corpses were gathered in the playground and burned. The ashes were buried under the sycamore trees, and a wooden sign was erected.

·

In the space.

Li Xin'er scooped up a bowl of spiritual spring water and fed it to the fighter jet.

The fighter jets were gulping down their drinks with incredible urgency.

Ersha leaned forward, tilting his head, full of curiosity about the new fighter jet.

"Awoooooo!"

Brother, who is this red-haired guy?

The fighter jet tilted its head and glanced at Ersha, its eyes filled with blatant disdain, while Ersha grinned foolishly and stared at it.

The fighter jet seems to be even smarter than the idiot, how did it mutate so much?

Li Xin'er stroked her chin and used her consciousness to retrieve a bottle of gray mist that she had stored up when the apocalypse came.

She held it up in her hand and looked at it, then glanced at Ersha. Ersha felt uneasy under her gaze, sensing that she had ill intentions.

With its two front legs crouching, its hind legs constantly retracting, and its back arched, it was ready to run away at any moment.

"Look at you, you coward."

Li Xin'er rolled her eyes, but ultimately let it go.

They found a sealed glass dome, poured in a third of a bottle of gray mist, and then grabbed a large white rabbit from the enclosure and stuffed it inside.

Then I kept a close eye on the changes in the white rabbit inside the glass case.

At first, I was frightened and curled up into a ball, then I relaxed and my nose twitched.
