Several zombies struggled desperately, trying to seize the fresh "flesh and blood" in front of them.

Old Hei's head was pressed against the wall, and he could see very clearly that these zombies only had a thirst for flesh and blood in their eyes, and no humanity existed in them.

This eight-foot-tall man had endured all the hardships and difficulties along the way, but now he finally couldn't hold back anymore.

Two streams of tears flowed from Lao Hei's eyes, soaking the tattered children's cotton-padded jacket on his chest. He took one last look at Xu Milu and Su He, pushed Su He away with all his might, and rushed towards the zombies with outstretched arms:

"You've all lied to me! They're alive, they're alive!!"

"Crackling sound—"

"Chirp chirp—"

"Crunch... crunch..."

The sound of flesh being devoured filled the air, and Xu Milu closed her eyes in unbearable pain, clenching her teeth tightly.

Old Black lay in the zombies' embrace, seemingly feeling no pain. He gently stroked the little zombie's head, and the next second, the little zombie opened its mouth without mercy and bit down hard. Bright red blood splattered everywhere, flesh tore apart, and internal organs spilled out of its ripped belly...

The family of four surrounded Old Black, devouring him with gusto, while Old Black wore a blissful smile. A mixture of blood and eeriness overwhelmed Su He, who finally couldn't hold back and vomited.

"vomit--"

Xu Milu closed her eyes and stopped looking.

Perhaps the moment his family died, Old Hei was already dead; all that survived was a madman.

...

...

"boom--"

On the piled-up branches, the bodies of Lao Hei's family were neatly arranged. Su He poured gasoline on them and lit them with a torch. The flames shot into the sky, and the white ash from the fire drifted away in the wind.

After leaving the supply station, the three continued their journey to the base in City A. After a day's drive, they could finally see the outline of City A.

"They've finally reunited as a family, but the most innocent victims are the passersby. They thought it was a supply station, but who would have thought it was a cannibalistic den?"

Xu Milu shook her head as she spoke:

"When we arrived in City A, the authorities came to identify the victims. I just saw military squad uniforms. That's probably how Lao Hei got his electromagnetic gun."

We've stored a hundred pounds of dried meat these past two days. When you get to the base, plan your time carefully. Also, those hard persimmons—they'll be ready to eat once they soften. Remember the location of that persimmon grove; we should be able to harvest another batch before they're fully ripe. I've also taught you how to identify wild vegetables; they can be cooked, dried, and stored for winter consumption.

I've taught you how to drive these past few days. In the current situation, mastering the brake and accelerator pedals will be fine. Although you're currently an 'infected person,' the base will have follow-up policies, but you need to be careful and not let them exploit you and then help you count the money—”

Su He remained silent and did not answer, but simply raised her eyes and stared at her:

"You're leaving, aren't you?"

Dou Dou suddenly widened her eyes and clung to Xu Mi Lu's arm, refusing to let go:

"Why is Sister leaving? Is it because DouDou is being naughty? DouDou is a very good girl. DouDou can give her own meat to Sister. Sister, don't go! DouDou doesn't want Sister to go—waaaah—"

Children's feelings are the most genuine, and after spending more than half a month together, she can no longer live without Xu Milu.

Xu Milu stopped the car, patted Dou Dou's head, and smiled gently:

"I'm sorry, this is all I can do for you. You'll have to walk the rest of the way on your own."

Her words had a double meaning, and Su He understood it perfectly.

Will you come back?

He clenched his fists, seemingly trying to make himself look less pitiful.

"Who knows? Maybe yes, maybe no."

Xu Milu gave up the driver's seat, waving her hand with a smile:

"Goodbye, this is where I'll see you off. Is our deal complete?"

Su He didn't say anything, silently sat in the driver's seat, not looking at Xu Milu, ignoring Dou Dou's crying, stepped on the gas, the RV roared to life, and disappeared from Xu Milu's sight in just a moment.

"Sigh, kids will always be kids. They can't even say goodbye properly."

Xu Milu sighed, and Xiao Qi spoke softly:

[Does the host want to return to Earth?]

"Of course, after living in fear for so many days, I need to experience this peaceful and prosperous era."

Xu Milu smiled slightly and chose to return. In just an instant, she disappeared from the spot.
