Xu Bai was reborn. She returned to ten years ago, to the fifth day after the apocalypse began. In this life, she didn't awaken any abilities; instead, she was bound to a system.
With ten ...
"Okay, okay," Haozi wiped his mouth and took a few steps back, his eyes never leaving the pot of stew.
After being given a large bowl of rice, meat and other dishes, Haozi and his friends lowered their heads and ate madly, not even willing to lift their heads up.
The meat in the big pot was just enough for more than ten people to share, but there was still some rice left. After seeing that the people in Dawn City had finished eating, Haozi went to ask for the last bit of rice, scooped a little broth from the bottom of the big pot of stewing meat into the rice, and shared it with several teammates.
Even though they only ate the rice with soup, Haozi and his friends still found it delicious.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, they all went back to their cars to take a nap and agreed to go to the noodle factory in an hour.
After persuading her several times, Xu Bai still insisted that she should guard the car and sit in the driver's seat, while the others went to the car to rest. Ji Heng was a little worried about Xu Bai being alone at the front of the car, so he also stayed at the front and did not go into the car to rest.
"Go to sleep first, I'll call you later."
The people guarding the car cannot fall asleep completely. They have to look around from time to time to see if there is any movement. Ji Heng suggested that they guard for half an hour each. Unexpectedly, Xu Bai took out the little pink ball and put it on the window.
"That's not necessary. Little Pink Ball will call us. I suggest you go back to the carriage and rest."
The little pink ball, who had been squeezed all night, crawled on its back and said with a puff of breath, "I was also exhausted yesterday. I need to rest too."
"Just hold on for another hour and rest later. You're too weak."
The little pink ball was provoked. With his hands on his hips, he looked at Xu Bai and bargained: "I want to drink the water you made."
"Who put Huang Qiqiu into a dream yesterday?"
"It's me." The little pink ball lowered his head and resigned himself to guarding the car for them.
In yesterday's battle, the little pink ball also contributed a lot, but it is still too small now. It can only cause hallucinations in a small area of the zombies, and it must be careful not to use the illusion on humans. After this operation, the little pink ball was exhausted.
But there are also benefits. It can clearly feel that the petals on its left shoulder have grown a little bit more. With every additional petal, its illusion will become stronger.
The little pink ball is not a human being, and it hasn't even formed the three views of a human being, but it doesn't like girls like Huang Qiqiu.
In Huang Qiqiu's dream, it saw her killing her parents who had turned into zombies. Parents who had turned into zombies were not her parents, so the little pink ball could do such a thing. The little pink ball did not quite understand why she could do such a thing. But after killing them, the little pink ball stabbed them several more times. The little pink ball could not understand it, and could not bear to watch it, so it came out of her dream.
But it didn't expect that Huang Qi Qiu was like a madman, thinking that he was dreaming. He also injured his teammates in the car, screamed loudly, and attracted so many zombies.
But if it happened again, it would invade her dreams again.
In the past, Xu Bai had little time to rest and he was used to it. An hour of rest was enough, but it was far from enough for others.
Inside the factory.
Everyone approached cautiously. Some people were still sleepy and shook their heads to wake themselves up. For a moment, they didn't notice that the person in front of them had stopped and bumped into their back.
"Are you trying to live?" Haozi lowered his voice and shouted, feeling distressed and angry when he saw his teammates tired and sleepy.
"We are too tired. Can't we come in again tomorrow?" The team member didn't want to feel sleepy at this moment, but he really couldn't open his eyes with his eyes squinted. He felt as if he was floating and couldn't walk steadily.
"Take a chance or wait to die outside, which one do you want to choose?" Haozi responded patiently. After saying this, he no longer paid attention to his teammates.
If you don't take care of your own safety when you are out, how can you expect others to take care of you?
If they don't come into the noodle factory today, no one knows whether they will encounter more zombies outside. It's better to come in early and finish collecting the zombies early and then go back.
The noodle factory was eerily quiet.
Everyone would stop and look every few steps. After about half an hour, they arrived at the gate of the noodle factory. The door was open, and there were no zombies inside.
Xu Bai originally wanted to go closer to the noodle factory, but after taking two or three steps, he was stopped by Ji Heng.
"I'll go, you stay here first."
Xu Bai did not stop them. She was a person first, and their city lord second. It was impossible for her to put herself first every time and eliminate all the dangers they would encounter. She had to give them time to grow and stand on their own.
Ji Heng walked lightly and quickly, and soon arrived at the noodle factory.
After taking one or two steps in, Ji Heng stood at the door and waited for a while. When he didn't see any zombies, he walked inside again.
The rest of the people slowly approached, and only when they got inside did they hear the sound of zombies coming from the second floor.
Everyone quickly leaned back to back, and tightened their grip on their weapons.
"Follow me upstairs, and the rest of you should be careful to carry and defend."
Xu Bai looked around and found a lot of flour, rice, etc. piled up in the corner. There were 23 people in total, and some of them could quietly start moving things.
It is impossible for a noodle factory to have only one zombie, but the sound of the zombies coming from upstairs makes it seem like there is only one.
Xu Bai had just stepped onto the stairs and walked up a few steps when he saw Ji Heng being kicked away and his waist hitting the stair railing.
If I hadn't grabbed the fence in time, I would have almost fallen down.
Xu Bai gestured to the people behind him and ran upstairs.
As soon as he went upstairs, Xu Bai stopped.
At the corner, a zombie was sitting in front of a packaging machine, putting the prepared noodles on the table into packaging bags and sealing them.
Without electricity, the packaging machine naturally cannot be used.
The zombie repeated the process of pouring out the bag of noodles, putting it back in, putting it into the packaging machine, and then taking it out of the packaging machine and repacking it.
"Was it him just now?" Xu Bai had not forgotten the scene when Gang Jiheng was kicked away.
"It's him."
This zombie is not like zombies of other levels that would rush over and bite people when they see them. Instead, it sits there quietly, doing its own work.
If it weren't for his festering body and the characteristics of a zombie, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was a normal person.
But when Ji Heng approached him, he was kicked away, preventing others from stepping into his territory.
“What’s going on?”
"This is the first time I've seen this kind of zombie." Shi Qinghe was ready with her special abilities at all times to prevent the zombie from suddenly attacking.
Anyone who sees this scene will feel that this zombie is quite powerful.
"Well, everyone go downstairs and leave him alone."
Xu Bai had also encountered this kind of dry zombies in his previous life. Their strength was not weak and they still retained some of their human thoughts. They would not actively attack others unless others stepped on their bottom line, but no one knew what this bottom line was.
I saw a bloody mark on the floor.
I guess this zombie doesn't want anyone to enter this area.
