Chapter 327: The Siege in the Apocalypse (4)

"Thank you for saving my life, brother. What's your name?" The man didn't speak, and Wen Wan didn't dare to ask any further. His aura was too strong and cold, and Wen Wan was a little frightened.

They broke through the zombie horde, and the remaining dozen or so zombies were quickly wiped out. Then, the teammates took out a dagger, cut open the zombie's head, and pulled out a small black pebble.

"What are they carrying?" Wen Wan asked the system.

System: [Crystal cores are items that can enhance the abilities of superhumans; they are very valuable and extremely precious in the apocalypse.]

Wen Wan: "Do I have it in my head too?"

System: [Yes, and they're all more advanced than these, so host, you'd better protect your disguise well, otherwise you'll be a hot commodity.]

Wen Yan: "..."

She's numb, she's really numb this time. How could she be in such a terrible state?

"Captain Gu, it's all taken care of."

The man nodded. "Go back."

So Wen Wan and her group hitched a ride to the safe zone. From the man's team members, Wen Wan learned that this handsome man with an aura of coldness was the captain of the rescue team. "You're not called Gu Yan, are you?" Wen Wan suddenly asked.

"Um."

A teammate behind her asked, "Hey beautiful, do you know our Captain Gu?"

Wen Wan quickly shook her head, "I've heard of him, but I don't know him. This is the first time I've met him."

She instinctively hugged Qiqi and shrank to the side. This was a tough captain who had killed countless zombies. She was trembling with fear.

"Don't be afraid, beautiful lady. Although our Captain Gu is a bit cold and doesn't talk much, he has a very good heart."

"I wasn't scared."

Qiqi: "Sister, be gentle, it's hurting Qiqi."

Wen Wan immediately let go, saying, "I'm sorry."

"Are you also heading to the safe zone? You're really lucky to have met us this time. My name is Wu Yong, what's your name?"

"Chen Han, this is my friend Gao Ming."

"Qiqi, my sister's name is Chu Mingyue," Qiqi said immediately, before Wen Wan could even come up with a fake name.

"Chu Mingyue? What's your relationship with Chu Mingyao?"

Wen Yan: "..."

"She's my older sister, do you know her?"

Wu Yong: "Who in this safe zone doesn't know Chu Mingyao! She's a girl who's incredibly ruthless, with strong talents and abilities, and she kills zombies like a madwoman. Wait a minute! You're her sister, but weren't you dead?"

Wen Wan: "I didn't die, I was lucky."

“I heard from the rescue team that you fell into a horde of zombies. You survived that? You’re incredibly lucky. You can go back and reunite with your sister. She will be so happy.”

Wen Yan: "..."

If she knew that she wasn't the original Chu Mingyue, and that she wasn't even human anymore, then she might be doomed. For Wen Wan, the current situation was like being surrounded by enemies on all sides.

The vest must be worn on, and it cannot be taken off even if it means death.

Upon arriving at the safe zone, Wen Wan discovered that a medical examination was required. Wu Yong explained, "The medical examination is to prevent anyone from being bitten and infected by zombies. After all, there can be no risk in the safe zone."

Wen Yan: "..."

"System, what should we do?"

System: [Don't worry, I'll block the signal from the inspection machine for you, you'll definitely pass safely.]

Okay.

Chen Han and Gao Ming quickly passed through the medical examination area. Wen Wan carried Qi Qi and went over first. When it was her turn, she had just stepped into the passage when a piercing sound startled her so much that her legs almost went weak on the spot.

"What's wrong?"

Someone came to check, and then the machine instantly lost all signal. Then it looked at Wen Wan, who looked at the testing personnel innocently.

"It's none of my business."

Are you injured?

Wen Wan shook her head. "I'm not injured."

"Let's go inside. This machine may have broken down due to prolonged use."

Wen Wan breathed a sigh of relief, and then it was approved.

Wu Yong said, "After that, you will need to report and register your information. We will then arrange dormitories for you. In the safe zone, if you are an ordinary person without superpowers, you will need to ensure logistics. If you have superpowers, you will need to go out regularly to hunt zombies to obtain crystal cores. Crystal cores are the main currency in our safe zone. Here, RMB is just a piece of useless paper."

Wen Wan nodded. "Thank you, Brother Wu. What about my sister?"

"Chu Mingyao? She should be out on a mission right now, she probably won't be back until tonight."

Gao Ming and Chen Han said goodbye to Wen Wan and Qi Qi for the time being. They knew people in the safe zone. "If you need anything in the future, you can come to us. We will do our best to help."

"Um."

The male protagonist, Gu Yan, left after entering the safe zone.

Wen Wan and Qi Qi were assigned a very narrow dormitory room. Newcomers can only live here. If they hunt enough zombies, accumulate enough merits, and become strong enough in the future, they will be able to obtain better accommodations and resources.

Wen Wan first asked Qi Qi to take a shower, then cooked a packet of instant noodles and a meat and cabbage dish for Qi Qi. This was her way of cooking, so there was no problem with her skills. Everything could be boiled, and even if it was bad, it wouldn't taste too bad. As for herself, she ate a plate of raw pork and half a bowl of pig's blood.

Rationally, Wen Wan felt disgusted, but instinctively, she had to rely on these things to survive.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and a middle-aged woman walked in. "Are you new here?"

"Yes, we just arrived."

"Just call me Aunt Chen. From now on, you'll cook for the others with me. You'll get one crystal core a month as your salary, and three meals a day will be provided. You're all getting meals now? Then I won't deliver any more to you."

Aunt Chen stared wide-eyed at the meat in front of Qiqi. "You guys are wasting so much meat! We usually eat it sparingly. This meat should be minced and made into chili oil. We should only take a spoonful each time we eat it, and we should save the oil to improve our meals."

Wen Yan: "???"

"The child is still growing and cannot lack nutrition."

Aunt Chen exclaimed, "This isn't like when we were at home. This is a special time, an apocalypse. Just surviving is good enough. As for nutrition, as long as we can keep warm, that's fine. You can be wasteful at first, but later you'll have to go hungry if you don't have enough to eat."

Aunt Chen left, but before she left, she picked up a few more pieces of meat with her chopsticks and ate them before departing satisfied.

Qiqi looked at Wen Wan and said, "Sister, I can eat less, I'm not hungry."

Wen Wan patted Qiqi's head and said, "Eat without worry, your older sister can take care of you."

"What a joke!" After Wen Wan took a bath and changed her clothes, Aunt Chen called her to cook. Her clumsy cooking was a disaster, and Wen Wan was immediately kicked out, "Go wash the dishes."

Wen Wan could only wash the dishes, which wasn't something she couldn't do. However, after washing only four or five dishes, a woman looked at her in shock and said, "Isn't it hot? This is boiling water."

Wen Yan: "..."

She pulled her hand away abruptly. "It's so hot. My pain receptors are not very sensitive."

woman:"……"

Wen Wan added some ice water before continuing to wash the dishes.

I'm exhausted. I've never seen so many bowls in my life. How many people ate all of this?

Just as Wen Wan was about to go crazy, a person suddenly rushed into the kitchen, smelling of blood and decay, which frightened everyone else into looking over in fear.

Wen Wan also looked over, "Sister?"

Chu Mingyao's eyes were red and swollen. "Xiaoyue, you're really not dead."

Wen Wan was rushed over and hugged tightly by Chu Mingyao. She was a little flustered. "I'm fine. I was just lucky. I made you worry, sister."

"That's great. I thought I'd never see you again. Even if I died, how would I face my parents? I didn't fulfill their wishes."

Wen Wan: This is not your fault. After all, your sister tried every means to kill you.

"Xiaoyue, why is your body so cold? Are you very cold?"

Wen Wan pushed Chu Mingyao away, "The weather is a bit cold."

"Come on, come with me, I'll get you some clothes." She said, pulling Wen Wan away.

"I haven't finished washing the dishes yet."

Chu Mingyao looked at the others and said, "She's my sister, what's mine is hers."

This means she doesn't need to do logistics; Chu Mingyao's achievements in hunting zombies are enough to support her.

The others naturally recognized Chu Mingyao and were all surprised that her deceased sister had actually survived.

Wen Wan was pulled to Chu Mingyao's residence, where Chu Mingyao gave her a coat. "Thank you, sister."

"I will definitely protect you from now on and I will never let you get hurt in any way." Chu Mingyao gently combed Wen Wan's hair. Faced with the heroine's naked affection, Wen Wan was a little overwhelmed.

"I also brought a little girl named Qiqi."

“Bring her over here, and you can all live with your sister.”

Chu Mingyao's place was much better and much bigger than the small dormitory that Wen Wan was assigned, but she didn't dare to live with the female lead. Qi Qi was easy to fool, but Chu Mingyao was not so easy to fool. She couldn't live with Chu Mingyao.

"No need, sister. I also need to work hard to improve my own strength. I can't always rely on you to protect me. Qiqi and I live very close to each other. If I need you, I will tell you."

Chu Mingyao frowned. "Xiaoyue, I feel like you've become distant with me."

Wen Wan's heart skipped a beat. "A lot has happened during this time. I will grow up too, sister."

Chu Mingyao patted Wen Wan's head. "You've become sensible. But you don't need to push yourself too hard. Your sister will protect you."

"Um."

"I'm going to take a shower first, you have some fruit first." Chu Mingyao gave Wen Wan a plate of fruit.

Afterwards, Chu Mingyao started cooking, while Wen Wan brought Qiqi over and also gave some ingredients to Chu Mingyao.

"These meats and vegetables don't look like they were issued by the safe zone."

Wen Wan explained, "We picked it up from a supermarket we passed by. Qiqi is an ice-type ability user, so we've been keeping it."

"Qiqi is great." Chu Mingyao patted Qiqi's head. However, unlike with her younger sister, Chu Mingyao always had a mature and domineering demeanor when facing others, which made Qiqi a little hesitant to approach her.

However, after tasting the dishes cooked by Chu Mingyao, he was instantly won over.

Wen Wan took a couple of bites. She could imagine how delicious it was, but she had no sense of taste. After finishing, Wen Wan said she needed to go to the toilet. She then went to a secluded place and started to induce vomiting. After all, as a zombie, eating too much cooked food would be extremely uncomfortable.
