Chapter 54 Chapter 54

At this time, near the abandoned house, Ji Yuanchen strode to the depths of the surging grass just now. As expected, a high-level zombie with intelligence was lying in ambush here. The high-level zombie probably didn't expect to be discovered by humans.

She bared her teeth at him in warning, trying to keep him away.

Ji Yuanchen felt strange. Why didn't this high-level zombie attack him?

"What are you doing here?" he asked the high-level zombie.

Although the high-level zombies have intelligence, it is obvious that their IQ is still lower than that of normal humans. It glanced at the abandoned house with a look of wit, then shook its head.

Ji Yuanchen raised his eyebrows: "Are you ambushing the woman in the abandoned house?" His tone was flat, but dangerous.

The high-level zombie didn't have the patience to answer him. It roared a few times and turned around to avoid him.

Ji Yuanchen used the psychic system to control high-level zombies. He rarely used the psychic system. No one knew that he was actually a three-system mutant, and the strongest of the three systems was the psychic system.

He just won't use it unless necessary.

Just as his mental power penetrated into the brain of the high-level zombie and collided with another mental power in the zombie's brain, Ji Yuanchen's eyes narrowed slightly. This was the first time in such a long time that he met someone with the same mental system as him, and someone was controlling this high-level zombie.

Although he could feel that the power of that mental force was equal to his, Ji Yuanchen did not crash into it, but withdrew the control of his mental force.

He stayed here and was determined to lure out the person behind the scenes.

Ji Yuanchen did not kill the zombie but let it go. As he watched the zombie run away, his eyes were filled with gloom. Who was controlling the zombies to monitor Yan Rou?

Qiao Yanrou woke up from her nap, stretched herself and sat on the bed, unaware that her whereabouts had been accurately discovered by two men.

When I went upstairs to the bathroom, I checked the vegetable garden behind and then went back to the basement to continue reading.

About ten days later, Qiao Yanrou was watering the vegetable garden under the morning sun. A sudden cry startled her, and water arrows immediately condensed around her body, ready to be launched.

"Cluck, cluck, cluck..." A chicken flew and jumped into the vegetable garden.

Qiao Yanrou was greatly surprised. This chicken was obviously a non-mutated breed and was strolling around the edge of her vegetable garden.

Qiao Yanrou caught the chicken in no time. When she saw it was a hen, she was so happy because she could have eggs to eat from now on!

She used her water power to surround the hen to prevent it from running away. Although she didn't know where it came from, she was sure to eat the eggs.

Having something to do today, she carefully went to the nearby area to cut some branches. Not long after she started, when she came back with the branches, she noticed a pile of dry branches in a corner behind the house.

Because it was pressed down by a wooden board, only a small part of the branches below was exposed. She had not noticed it before. After all, she didn't need to make a fire to cook, so she didn't pay attention to it.

Qiao Yanrou raised her hand and lifted the wooden board that was pressing down on the branch. The board was covered with dust, but the branch was very dry.

She rolled up the branches using her special powers and placed them on the open space outside the vegetable garden. She looked around and prepared to clear away the grass pile in the middle. The grass piles surrounding the outside could just cover the inside.

Qiao Yanrou picked up the hoe and cleared the pile of grass in the middle. Perhaps she was too happy and didn't feel hungry.

She quickly cleared the pile of grass in the middle, picked up the branches one by one, and prepared to start making a fence.

Her stomach growled, and Qiao Yanrou realized that she was hungry. She had just finished clearing the grass, and her exposed skin felt itchy. She used her supernatural powers to wash her hands and exposed skin outside, and then returned to the basement.

Returning to the basement to get rice and cook, Qiao Yanrou couldn't help but feel happy when she thought that she would have eggs to eat soon.

After the rice is cooked, it tastes much better.

After finishing her meal, she did not go upstairs to work immediately, but took a nap before leaving the basement.

Every time she walked out of the basement, Qiao Yanrou would look around vigilantly, afraid that someone would appear or there would be zombies nearby.

After making sure it was safe, she walked out of the abandoned house and came to the vegetable garden. She was very alert and was ready to condense water arrows around her body at any time just in case.

Qiao Yanrou started to make a fence with branches. After working for a while, she had to carefully look around, fearing that the noise would attract people or zombies.

The people from Xue Yu’s base have been here before, so they probably won’t come here to search for anyone again.

She was afraid that the fence would not be finished by the time the sun set, so she quickened her pace and did not stop until sweat broke out on her forehead.

Ji Yuanchen, who was on the big tree, kept his eyes on her. Seeing that she was busy, he didn't go to disturb her no matter how much he felt sorry for her.

As the sun was setting, Qiao Yanrou finally finished building the fence, except for the gate. She temporarily blocked the entrance of the fence with the wooden board that covered the branches, and then put the chicken inside the fence.

The vegetable garden next to it had not been watered yet. After watering it, she washed her hands, took out a bottle of mineral water from the storage space, drank the whole bottle, and then opened half of the empty bottle.

Half of it is filled with water for the chickens to drink, and the other half is filled with rice for the chickens to eat. After all, they still rely on it to lay eggs.

The water and rice were placed on the ground, and the hens went to eat the rice and drink the water, calling "cluck, cluck."

Qiao Yanrou stood and watched for a while, then went into the house with confidence. She took a shower upstairs before returning to the basement.

After a busy day, although she was tired, she felt fulfilled and was very satisfied with her current life.

That night she ate something to fill her stomach, walked out of the basement with an oil lamp, went into the bathroom to wash up, then hurried back to the basement, extinguished the oil lamp and placed it on the table.

Qiao Yanrou yawned, turned off the light, lay on the bed and fell asleep in a second.

There was a building not far from here with lights on inside. Ji Yuanchen lay on the mattress with his arms behind his head, his mind filled with her slender figure coming and going.

A smile played on his lips. As long as he could see her every day, he would be content.

The next day, Qiao Yanrou woke up and ran up to see if the hen was still in the fence.

Water arrows condensed around her body. She came to the outside of the fence, pulled aside the grass and looked inside.

The hen was squatting in the corner. Perhaps she heard her footsteps, she opened her eyes and looked at her.

Qiao Yanrou checked the water and rice and found that the hen had eaten a lot of them. The fact that they could eat them meant that the hen was not sick.

She first watered the vegetable garden. Today she was going to make the gate of the fence. She planned to use the wooden board to make the door. In the absence of tools, the condensed water arrows could just make holes in the wooden board.

Coming out of the vegetable garden, she picked up the wooden board blocking the entrance to the fence. The sharp water arrows pierced through the door panel, making a teeth-grinding sound, and quickly made several holes.

After drilling the door opening, she cut the door panel to the right size, fearing that the load-bearing side of the fence would collapse.

Qiao Yanrou worked for the whole morning, made several mistakes in installing it, and then installed it again and again. Finally, she installed the fence door at noon.

She held the fence gate and swung it back and forth with satisfaction, then added water and rice to the hens. The job was done and she was ready to go back and cook.

Qiao Yanrou felt that life was becoming more and more hopeful. The vegetables in the vegetable garden were growing vigorously. Yesterday, a hen accidentally ran here, so she wouldn't have to worry about eggs in the future.

After lunch, she read for a while. When she was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes, she put the book down and lay down on the bed for a nap.
