"Mommy Song, don't worry, Second Sister said it's not ripe yet!" Song Ziqing said softly, lying next to Song Xia.

Song Xia grinned, then seemed to realize it wasn't right and withdrew her hand.

Song Ziqing said happily, "Mommy Song is so good. Ziqing will wipe Mommy Song's face."

Song Xia looked utterly dejected, letting the little guy do whatever he wanted to her face.

I'm so hungry, so hungry! When will we finally get something to eat?

Everyone was very happy today, not only because they caught such a big rabbit, but also because Song's mother seemed to be doing better than yesterday.

"Come and eat." Song Ziqi served everyone a bowl full of rabbit soup. On this cold winter day, a bowl of soup soothed their worries and tension of the past few days.

She put her own aside and fed Song Xia first.

Song Xia had indeed been craving it for a long time, and after taking a bite, she let out a satisfied sigh.

“Mommy Song loves to eat this!” The little ones lined up by the bed, and Song Ziqi fed Song Xia a bite, and then they ate a bite.

"Second sister, Mother Song is different from those monsters outside."

"Hmm." Song Ziqi also noticed that the zombies outside were inhuman, chasing after any living thing and devouring it with even less rationality than wild beasts. But Song's mother was different. Song's mother started eating the food she cooked and stopped baring her teeth at them. She could even occasionally see the emotions on Song's mother's face.

She is now very confident that Song's mother will regain her senses.

After finishing eating, Song's mother obediently let her wipe her mouth. We wanted to let Song's mother out, but thinking of the younger siblings, we decided to wait and see.

"Aunt Song, how about we put you down again when you behave a little better?"

Song Xia stared silently at the ceiling. Wasn't her performance good enough?

Xiao Ling excitedly jumped around in the space: "Soon, Xia Xia, once you remember some more things, you'll be free again."

Where no one could see her, Song Xia struggled. She thought she could break free, but the children didn't want her to get down, so she decided to lie down a little longer.

Song Ziqi chopped up the remaining rabbit meat and stored it away. Fortunately, it was winter, so there was no need to waste salt to marinate it. Little did she know that the rabbit meat stored outdoors would attract two uninvited guests that night.

"Heh...heh..." Song Xia roared uneasily, waking up the sleeping Song Ziqi.

"Aunt Song, what's wrong?"

She had barely finished speaking when her expression changed; there was a commotion outside!

Song Ziyang and Song Ziying quickly got up, while Song Zile pursed her lips and blankly covered Song Zian and Song Ziqing with blankets.

Song Ziqi looked at him seriously: "Can you protect your younger brother and sister?"

Before Song Zile could answer, Song Ziqi ran out and closed the door.

"Second sister, it's a mutated animal."

The situation outside was worse than they had imagined; two mutated wolves were gnawing on the rabbit meat that Song Ziqi had hidden outside during the day.

Song Ziqi's expression changed. She had clearly hidden herself well, even covering her with thick snow and old clothes. How could these two wolves still find her?

She was too careless; the lack of danger these past few days made her lower her guard.

"Don't make a sound." She pulled Song Ziyang and Song Ziying back, hoping that the two wolves would leave after they finished eating the rabbit meat.

However, things rarely go as planned. After the two wolves finished eating the rabbit meat, they sniffed around inside again and then began banging on the doors and windows.

The doors and windows were reinforced, but the two mutated wolves were particularly large. Every time they rammed into the doors and windows, they would shake violently, and dust would start to fall from the seams. The three people's hearts were also beating faster and faster with each impact.

"Don't let them in, I'll go."

"Ziying!" Song Ziqi exclaimed in shock. Just then, the wolf crashed through the window. Song Ziying stood in front of the wolf, barely reaching its knees.

The immense pressure made Song Ziying want to back down, but she knew that if she did, her younger siblings would be in even greater danger.

Song Ziyang and Song Ziqi also held steel knives; no matter what, they were determined to fight.

Song Zian and Song Ziqing, who were inside the room, woke up from the impact, their faces deathly pale.

Song Xia was restless and uneasy, but Song Ziqing patiently comforted her, saying, "Mom, it's okay, we'll be alright."

Song Zi'an pouted, tears welling up in her eyes, "If only my older brother were here."

The system, Xiao Ling, was also extremely anxious. He remembered that Song Ziyang and Song Ziying had both perished in this disaster. If Song Ziying hadn't activated her special ability before dying, the remaining children would not have had a chance to survive.

Song Ziming returned a step too late. Seeing his messy home and his crying younger siblings, he was heartbroken.

As the second oldest, Song Ziqi was constantly blaming herself for not protecting her younger siblings and was in a daze. Later, during a zombie horde, she resolutely sacrificed herself, giving Song Ziming and the others a chance to survive.

Even though Song Ziming possesses superpowers, how can he possibly look after his three younger siblings, Song Zile, Song Zian, and Song Ziqing, all the time? If he doesn't go out to find supplies, his younger siblings will have nothing to eat and will only wait to die. But if he does go out, the three little ones will still be bullied at the survivor base.

I remember once, Song Ziming was a little late because of an emergency, and Song Zile was killed. He was beaten to death to protect his youngest younger siblings.

After that incident, Song Ziming killed almost half of the survivors at the base, and then had to start wandering with Song Zian and Song Ziqing.

With the survivor base on one side and increasingly powerful zombies and mutated animals on the other, Song Ziming, Song Zian, and Song Ziqing are finding their situation increasingly difficult.

In the end, in order not to implicate her older brother, Song Ziqing willingly let herself be carried away by the mutated animal. Song Zian also suffered a sudden heart attack and died while being chased. He was unable to take his medication and passed away.

Ever since his last two younger siblings left him, Song Ziming went mad. He became a killing machine, slaughtering zombies, mutated animals, and humans alike.

Finally, because of the excessive killings he had committed, several survivor bases simultaneously dispatched superhumans to besiege him, and Song Ziming self-destructed during the siege.

Everything changed from that day on, when the system Xiaoling began to call out to Song Xia repeatedly.

"Xiaxia, wake up, they need you."

"Xiaxia, just hold on a little longer, until Song Ziming comes back."

"Xiaxia, you can do it."

The noise in her head and the fighting outside made Song Xia's head feel like it was going to explode. She broke free from her restraints and kept screaming.

"Aunt Song!" Song Ziqing tried to approach despite her fear, but Song Xia turned around and rushed out of the room.

Song Ziying, who was thrown heavily by the mutated wolf, landed right at Song Xia's feet.
