Dinner is over.

Song Zhi took Shen Ling back to rest.

The supermarket was closed now, so Song Zhi took Shen Ling in through the side door.

Shen Ling was still well-behaved and followed Song Zhi obediently. Wherever Song Zhi went, she went.

After sending Shen Ling to the door of the room, Song Zhi suddenly thought of something, stared into her eyes, and was silent for half a minute.

Shen Ling didn't understand what Song Zhi meant and looked at her eagerly.

Finally, Song Zhi sighed helplessly, then bent down and hugged Shen Ling, saying.

"Okay, rest up, good night."

Shen Ling tilted her head back, and her deep blue eyes dimmed a little when Song Zhi hugged her. After Song Zhi stood up, they returned to their original state.

She nodded slightly at Song Zhi and waved at her.

Song Zhi stood up and walked towards his room.

After turning his back on Shen Ling, the expression on Song Zhi's face disappeared and his brows were furrowed.

This kid, it’s been so many days, and she doesn’t ask. Is she planning to keep it a secret from her forever?

It's okay if you don't say anything else. She's taken care of me for so many days, at least call me "sister" for a minute. You're so heartless, you don't say anything...

Shen Ling's expression changed after seeing Song Zhi turn around.

Her eyes were cold and her expression was serious as she stared at Song Zhi's back as he kept leaving.

His left hand was in his pocket, tightly gripping the transparent crystal inside.

I don't know when it started, but the gears inside the crystal began to tick again.

Shen Ling quickly ran back to the room and took the crystal out of her pocket.

Holding it in my hand, the dripping sound became louder.

She frowned, looking displeased.

"It's so noisy, shut up."

Shen Ling spoke unhappily.

But the magical thing was that after Shen Ling opened her mouth, the dripping sound really disappeared instantly.

The room suddenly became extremely quiet, as if the strange sound had never appeared.

Shen Ling was very satisfied with this, so she put it back into her pocket, washed up, and went to bed.

-

The next morning.

After Shen Ling got up and washed, she went to find Song Zhi as usual.

But after knocking on Song Zhi's door for a long time, it was still closed.

Shen Ling looked at the closed door in confusion.

She had always come to see her sister at this time before, and her sister would always wait for her here to have breakfast together, but why was her sister not moving today?

Shen Ling didn't give up and continued to knock several times.

She thought that Song Zhi might have been sleeping too soundly and didn't hear the knock on the door.

But the truth disappointed Shen Ling. Song Zhi's room was empty and there was no one there.

Song Zhi is now sitting in a modified jeep, holding milk in one hand and a hot dog grilled in the morning in the other, eating breakfast very comfortably.

That's right, she went out.

Because of time constraints, he didn't have time to tell Shen Ling, so he just posted a note at the entrance of the supermarket so that Guo Xiong could see it when he came to work.

By the way, she also posted a sign on her door.

But maybe it was blown away by the wind or something, but when Shen Ling got there, the note was gone.

Shen Ling had not yet told her that Song Zhi had left without saying goodbye.

She was in a bad mood all day.

Even Guo Leshan, who particularly liked playing with her, stopped joining in the fun around Shen Ling.

I always feel that Shen Ling is weird today. She is completely shrouded in an invisible dark cloud.

Forget it, just to be on the safe side, he should stay away today.

-

In the jeep.

Song Zhi sat on the right side of the middle row, Si Qing sat in front of her, and the driver was Gu Si.

I've seen it all before.

There were seven people in the jeep. In addition to the three of them, there were four others that Song Zhi had never seen before.

They are Gu Si's sister, Gu Wanru, and some of Si Qing's more powerful psychics, Chen Feng, Zhao Cheng and Bai Zimu.

Gu Wanru and Song Zhi sat in one row, and the remaining three sat in the last row.

"Boss Song, we might encounter a lot of zombies along the way. Aren't you afraid of coming out like this?"

Gu Si, who was driving, looked at Song Zhi through the rearview mirror and couldn't help but ask the questions in his heart.

In fact, what he wanted to ask was, isn't it a bit hasty for you to just leave without any preparation?

But I felt that it was impolite to say that, so I changed the way I spoke.

They also received the mission notification last night.

Two very influential researchers have come to the base laboratory, and the experiments that were previously stopped in the laboratory can be restarted.

Because of the recent hot weather, the parts of a giant machine in the laboratory have aged and need to be replaced with new parts.

It just so happens that this part might be found in a secret laboratory in the center of Sunset City, which is 60 kilometers away from the Beiyuan Base, so we want them to come out and look for it.

Before the end of the world, the laboratory was kept extremely secret. Except for the top leaders of the central government, no one else knew about its existence.

When the end of the world came, a lot of data was made public. Everyone in the laboratory was too busy to escape, and no one cared about the instruments, equipment and parts inside, so it has been abandoned until now.

If you go now, the probability of getting the parts is very high.

So early in the morning, Si Qing assembled his team and set off towards Sunset City.

Coincidentally, on the way to Sunset City, I happened to pass by Song Zhi's supermarket.

Song Zhi happened to be out for a stroll in the middle of the night because he couldn't sleep, and that's how they met.

Song Zhi: "It's so late, where are you going?"

Si Qing: "There's an urgent mission at the base, so we need to go to Sunset City."

Song Zhi: "Can you take me with you?"

Si Qing: "Of course."

Si Qing agreed almost without thinking, but after he finished speaking, he realized what Song Zhi had said.

I wanted to refuse, but Song Zhi had already turned around and went back to pack up her things - to write a note.

Helplessly, Si Qing let Song Zhi get on the car that would take them to the mission.

"I don't know either..."

Song Zhi shook his head slightly, looking a little worried.

"Hmm?" Gu Si was confused as he had never expected this kind of answer.

I don't know what it means.

Is it that you don’t know what to do if you encounter zombies, or do you just follow them out without any preparation?

Song Zhi continued, "Actually, I've only seen a few zombies, so I'm a little curious. If I can't defeat them, you guys will definitely protect me, right?"

Song Zhi's tone was soft and sounded pitiful.

In fact, what she said was not wrong. Since she came to this world, she had indeed only encountered zombies very few times.

Basically, the zombies that attacked the supermarket were dealt with by the system's defense system before she could even take action.

Protect?

Gu Si once suspected that there was something wrong with his ears and that he had heard it wrongly.

Boss Song looks like someone who needs to be protected?
