"Disobey and you'll die, kid. Say goodbye to this world!"

"The apocalypse is better. Before the apocalypse, we lived timidly, but in the apocalypse, we can do whatever we want."

The two men looked at Song Ziming with disdain, as if they had already decided his fate.

Song Ziming's clothes had burn marks, making him look even thinner, but his eyes were resolute, showing no fear of death.

This is precisely why the two men had teased him for so long. If this little boy doesn't die, he will surely achieve great things in the future. Since he can't be used by them, they have no choice but to deal with him.

"Let's do it!"

Spikes rose from beneath his feet, and flames rained down from above. Song Ziming dodged them frantically, and soon his wounds multiplied.

He had been fighting for so long that his superpowers were almost depleted. He was waiting for the right moment to kill the two men. Otherwise, if his superpowers were completely depleted, he would be at their mercy. But why weren't the two men tired?

Just as Song Ziming was wondering, the man with earth-elemental abilities put something into his mouth. Now Song Ziming saw it clearly—wasn't that the thing inside a zombie's head? Could that thing replenish his abilities?

He had seen those things before and thought they looked nice, so he endured the disgust and washed a few large ones, intending to take them back for his younger siblings to play with. He never expected they would have this use!

Now that he knew, he no longer needed to passively endure the beating, so he quickly took it out and threw it into his mouth.

Almost instantly, heat gathered in his limbs and bones, and Song Ziming felt extremely uncomfortable, as if his meridians were about to burst!

"Ah!" He unleashed himself to the fullest, and lightning filled the sky.

"Oh no!" The two men were terrified and ran back almost without thinking.

But it was no use; the thick bolt of lightning shattered the thick earthen armor, and both men were struck dead at the same time.

But Song Ziming showed no sign of stopping, because he couldn't control himself at all. The veins on his forehead bulged, and blood slowly seeped from his skin, illuminating the entire sky.

The strange phenomenon caused by the lightning lasted for two whole hours. Afterwards, Song Ziming collapsed weakly to the ground, still shaken, as if he had been reborn.

That's terrifying. If he had been a little less lucky, he would have really died. But why didn't the other two have such a strong reaction after eating it?

Could it be that these crystals also have different grades? Was it because his grade was too low before, but the crystals he ate were of too high grade?

Although he almost died, fortunately, he could clearly feel that his superpowers had improved.

"Oh no!" Song Ziming, who was still slumped on the ground and hadn't come to his senses, suddenly changed his expression. Such a commotion meant that the zombies had arrived.

Ignoring his injuries and tattered clothes, he got in his car and drove off.

Fortunately, Song's mother taught him how to drive as soon as the apocalypse arrived; otherwise, it would have been impossible to transport so many supplies back.

I've been out for two days already, and it will be another two days before I get home. My younger siblings must be getting worried by now.

But they couldn't stay away from this far; they couldn't collect many supplies in their small city anymore.

I hope they won't encounter any danger during the days I'm away.

In the orphanage, the children prepare to go to sleep after dinner, because only by going to bed early will they avoid getting hungry.

"Third Brother, will there be chicken tomorrow?"

"There will be, right?"

"With so many traps set today, there will be plenty of chickens tomorrow."

"Then wouldn't we be able to eat chicken every day?"

Song Ziyang opened his mouth, but he couldn't guarantee that he would be lucky to catch this chicken today.

"Don't be discouraged if you don't get it. After all, animals aren't stupid." Song Ziqi's voice rang out softly. "Besides, that chicken was so thin yesterday. It was probably starving when it fell into the trap."

"Ah!" Song Ziqing was a little disappointed, but she quickly cheered up. "It's okay, second sister. When Ziqing grows up, she can go out to find supplies just like big brother."

Song Ziqi patted her head, feeling a pang of sadness: "We don't need to wait for you to grow up. When spring comes, we can dig up wild vegetables to eat. Maybe we can even find wild eggs or catch fish in the river!"

When will spring come?

"Second sister doesn't know either, it should be soon!"

As they chatted, the children gradually fell asleep. Song Ziqi got up and added some firewood. Even if spring didn't come, it would be good if they could continue to live peacefully like this. She was just afraid that winter would be too long and supplies would become increasingly scarce.

After a good night's sleep, Song Ziqi and the others were awakened by the noise, and they quickly became alert.

"Has someone discovered this?" The children's hearts were in their throats, and Song Ziqing hugged Song Ziqi in fear.

"I'll go out and take a look." Twelve-year-old Song Ziying is not only brave, but also the strongest fighter among them.

"I'll go with you." Song Ziyang quickly got dressed as well. Song Ziqi, of course, couldn't rest easy. After comforting her younger siblings, she followed him out.

"No, it's not a human voice, it sounds like an animal."

"An animal?" The group's eyes lit up. Had they really caught a live creature?

They quickly followed the sound and saw a huge rabbit struggling. The rabbit was so big that it defied all logic; it was as big as a wolf.

It was injured; a splinter had pierced its belly, and it struggled to break free of the wire binding its legs.

The wire snare was a new addition by Song Ziyang, just in case it wouldn't be able to hold him back during any big movements. Unexpectedly, it actually worked.

"Is this a mutant animal?" Song Ziqi was stunned. She had heard her mother and older brother talk about it before, but this was the first time she had seen one.

"A mutant animal? Does it have superpowers?"

"Don't rush to get closer, observe first."

The three were very patient until the rabbit was really about to break free of the wire, at which point Song Ziying stepped forward with an iron rod.

Song Ziqi pulled her along: "Where are you going?"

"Give it a whack. We finally caught it, we can't let it get away."

"Oh my god, this is dangerous."

"No, second sister, you're not as strong as me."

As Song Ziying spoke, she ran forward. The rabbit suddenly turned around and stood up, it was almost as tall as her. She swallowed hard. She couldn't back down; everyone was waiting to eat the meat!

"Ah!" She raised the iron rod high and swung it down at the head of the snarling rabbit.

After one blow, the rabbit fell to the ground, and the three of them cheered quietly.

"It must have mutated and grown up without any other special abilities." Song Ziying dragged the rabbit carcass inside. "If only there were rabbits like this every day."

Song Ziqi was also very happy. The rabbit was so big that it would be enough for them to eat their fill for several meals: "Second sister will cook it for you later."

"Shouldn't we wait for our older brother to come back?"

"No need, the rabbit is so big, there will still be some left when big brother comes back."

Song Zian and Song Ziqing, who were anxiously waiting inside, were stunned when they saw the giant rabbit. Even Song Zile, who had been engrossed in his own world, looked up and glanced at it.

Song Xia smelled the aroma and her lips moved. It smelled so good, she wanted to eat it!
