A hoarse yet penetrating roar sounded particularly terrifying at dawn.

When Mingmei heard the sound that morning, she immediately got up, dressed, and rushed to the workroom where she made boxed lunches.

As the beast tide receded and more and more zombies surrounded the base, almost everyone was mentally prepared for what was bound to happen sooner or later.

After Mingmei finished preparing today's boxed lunches, the staff who had been waiting at the door took the lunches and told Mingmei to stay in the inner city and not to leave casually before quickly leaving.

Everyone here knows that this woman has a very capable boyfriend, and she often risks her life to go to the outer city for him. At this critical moment, she can't go out again.

"I understand, don't worry."

Mingmei spoke earnestly, but the distrust in the other person's eyes was also very obvious.

Mingmei touched the tip of her nose, realizing that her trust had been overdrawn.

Although she had quit her job as a cafeteria helper, she would sneak out a few times.

Actually, she didn't want to have a close relationship with Mu Chen. It was just that with the job changing every ten days, she couldn't keep up with important external developments, which was really frustrating!

The habit of listening to news from all over the place has become ingrained in Mingmei after so many games.

Although some people in the inner city could know, their information also came from the outer city, so by the time it reached her, it had become third-hand information!

Therefore, she is now surrounded by bodyguards.

"Never mind, do you have any crystal cores? Give me some. We used up some of those boxed lunches we had stored up in the previous battles, right?"

"Give me the crystal core, I'll try to recover and see if I can continue making boxed lunches."

"Huh? You can make boxed lunches right after absorbing the crystal core?" (Biquge)

I never knew that Mingmei could make boxed lunches immediately after replenishing the crystal cores. The last time she exhausted her superpowers, she took the crystal cores back with her!

"Ah... I'll give it a try~" Mingmei didn't give a very clear answer.

According to the timeline, tomorrow should be the day they meet the requirement of surviving for a full year during their mission, right?

...

"Aaaaaah! Oh my god! This is so disgusting!"

Lu Xiaoyao and Mu Chen, who were on the night shift in the outer city and hadn't had time to hand over to the day shift yet, were naturally among the first witnesses.

Everyone was stunned when they saw the mutated tiger, with half a skeleton and half a body of rotting flesh, nearly thirty meters long, leap over a ten-meter-high city wall!

Even the morning glory didn't react in time.

The key point is that this zombie tiger was actually carrying a belly full of humanoid zombies! Lu Xiaoyao was truly grateful!

Seeing the zombies that skipped the step of disembowelment and jumped directly from the ribs of the zombie tiger, rushing towards them in a flurry, Lu Xiaoyao cursed under her breath and took off the heavy machine gun she was carrying on her back, spraying bullets at the zombies!

Other ability users suited for ranged combat also chose their positions and unleashed a barrage of ability attacks on the charging zombie tiger.

"Lure it to the other side of the city wall!"

Seeing the zombie tiger smash its copper-skinned, iron-boned body, and knowing that the mutated, zombie-like tiger felt no pain, the group's superpowers were like firecrackers hitting a marble floor, leaving only a dent.

How can we tolerate this?

The mutated trumpet flower was slow to realize that it was waiting for the zombie tiger to get close so it could be beaten up. Naturally, the superhumans had to cooperate!

"yes!"

...

"What's wrong?"

As Mingmei was forcibly absorbing an excessive amount of crystal cores in her workshop to restore her powers and prepare to continue making lunchboxes, a large group of children suddenly rushed in from outside.

Zhen Hu's two children, Lou Jia's five children, and even the children of the NPC mother in Lu Gui's party are all here.

"My dad told me he's going to save the world..."

Da Bao and Er Bao were the first to break down, and as soon as they finished speaking, they burst into tears.

There were other children who were younger than Erbao and the others, and they hadn't cried at first. But when Dabao and Erbao started crying, the rest of the children burst into tears like a flood. In an instant, her entire workshop was filled with the sound of children crying!

The people guarding Mingmei's safety at the door instantly regretted agreeing to the request of those superhumans to bring the children in, seeing Mingmei inside crying so hard.

That's fine, but what if it causes the person inside to have an emotional breakdown as well?

Immediately afterwards, they saw Mingmei pull out two cotton balls from somewhere and plug her ears, then continue making boxed lunches.

Guardian: ? ? ?

Kids: Q…Q?

What should I do if my child cries?

Bright and beautiful: Let them cry!

In the end, it was the two children who started crying, and it was also the two of them who started the ending.

The little boy, his eyes swollen from crying, watched with a pitiful expression as Mingmei prepared one boxed lunch after another, even ordering the older children to help wash and prepare the vegetables!

Huh! What's wrong with this adult?

Why is this usually gentle and kind older sister so cold and ruthless at this moment?

Presumably because Da Bao and Er Bao's accusing looks weren't obvious enough, Ming Mei "cluelessly" handed them a basket of carrots and said, "Are you done crying? Go wash the carrots over there."

Da Bao & Er Bao: !!!

"Why don't you comfort me?" Erbao, a spoiled little girl, asked Mingmei in a sweet, childish voice, "Why does my daddy have to save the world?"

What's the connection between these two issues?
