The man chuckled softly, his voice husky and magnetic. "Don't worry, I added something to her milk. She won't wake up until tomorrow morning."

The woman didn't speak, but suddenly let out a soft cry, followed by the increasingly loud and urgent creaking sound of the spring being squeezed violently.

Having been forced to eavesdrop, Shi Lan knew perfectly well what those two were doing.

However, her immediate priority was to accept the plot as soon as possible, so she ignored it and tried her best to keep her mind calm. In a moment, a flood of memories mixed with rage rushed into her mind like a mountain torrent.

The original owner, Shi Lan, came from a wealthy family. Her mother passed away when she was ten years old, and her father remarried the following year. The woman had a daughter, Liu Hui, who was two years younger than the original owner. The father always taught the original owner to treat her younger sister kindly. The original owner was a well-behaved child and was very good to Liu Hui. If Liu Hui liked something, she would give it to her even if she was reluctant to part with it. Liu Hui was also very well-behaved and worshipped and depended on the original owner as if she were her own older sister.

Life went on peacefully and uneventfully. The original owner was an excellent student, attending prestigious schools throughout junior high, high school, and even university. Liu Hui seemed to have only a slight talent for ancient literature among her subjects. Apart from that, her hobby was collecting men.

Contrary to the gentle and graceful demeanor she exuded, she always seemed to be surrounded by various men. The original owner had tried to persuade her, but Liu Hui agreed on the surface but turned around and did things her own way. After a few times, the original owner gave up.

Upon graduating from university, the original owner got engaged to her classmate Minghao. According to the original plan, they would get married in the spring of the following year. However, at the end of the year, an unexpected disaster struck. The original owner's father and the woman he married later turned into zombies. The original owner and Liu Hui were lucky enough to escape the disaster.

This could have been considered a stroke of luck amidst misfortune, but the sudden arrival of disaster shattered the world's established rules. Without regulation, many people abandoned their moral bottom line, and human life was treated as worthless as grass.

Both the original owner and Liu Hui were physically weak, and faced with this situation, all they could think of was to try their best to hide.

Fortunately, the two only endured this for half a day before Minghao, the original owner's fiancée, arrived with two classmates, and the two were rescued.

The five of them set off together. Along the way, they heard that there was a survival base not far from here, and they all agreed to settle there. During this time, Minghao suddenly developed a fever, and the original owner took care of him all night without sleep. The next day, Minghao suddenly recovered and strangely emitted a fireball.

Everyone was surprised.

However, soon after, Shen Chen and Guo Dabao, who were traveling with them, also unleashed their wood-attribute abilities and powers, which everyone found quite unusual.

At this moment, of the group that had set off together, only Liu Hui and the original owner remained silent. However, since the original owner was Minghao's fiancée, and Liu Hui's gentle charm had successfully piqued the interest of the other two, no one said anything.

Seeing Liu Hui's ability to navigate social situations, the original owner, though not in agreement, only thought about it in his heart. He would try his best to take care of the somewhat weak Liu Hui, hoping to make her a little more comfortable during this bumpy escape journey.

Before long, the zombies began to change, with significant improvements in all aspects. People could no longer clear the roads as easily as before, and food began to become scarce.

To alleviate the pressure on the team, the original owner tried to consume as little food as possible and tried to make the coarse food more palatable so that they could satisfy their appetites after their hard work. Even so, some people in the team were still dissatisfied with the original owner.

During a zombie attack, the original owner was pushed off the car. Just before being buried by the zombie horde, she glanced back and saw Liu Hui's arm, which hadn't yet retracted... (To be continued.)
