The boy stood on the high-rise building, looking down at Jiang Ruan and the other two, and said in a low voice that no one could hear, "This time, I will make them pay with their lives!"

His gaze turned sinister as he stared at the zombies attacking again in the distance. He clicked his tongue lightly, responding to Jiang Ruan's question, "Yes, cooperation and win-win! What I need is your healing magic, and what you need is a henchman like me."

Tell me, what else could our combined strength be but invincible?

Jiang Ruan listened to the boy's interesting words, lowered her head and thought for a moment. He was very smart, but also very strange.

He was smart enough to know that he couldn't do anything alone and would only make himself die faster, but strangely he knew about Jiang Ruan's special ability.

This led her to believe that he, like herself, had been reborn; otherwise, how could he have such a drastically different ending from his previous life?

Therefore, although Jiang Ruan had the idea of ​​cooperating, she still needed to carefully consider it, especially to find out how the other party knew these things.

You know me?

"Of course I know."

"You are a reborn person?"

"No, I am a dreamer!"

Jiang Ruan knew each of these words individually, but when put together to form "Dream Chaser," she had to think about it again.

Seeing her silence, the boy kindly explained, "I know you may have triggered the rebirth system, which is why you've returned to this world to rewrite your destiny."

"But I'm different. I didn't experience it myself. I just had a dream that was absolutely certain, and my system really did go through a rebirth. So, whether you believe it or not isn't that important."

"Nothing else can arouse my interest anymore except killing and revenge."

Jiang Ruan still had some doubts in her heart, because she had never heard of such a strange thing as system rebirth, and felt that he was making it up.

Just as they were about to refuse, several zombies broke through the barrier and rushed in, banging on the car.

Anxia and Anchun hugged each other tightly, trembling all over. "Ruanruan, I, I don't want to become a zombie! These zombies are so disgusting, I can't stand it."

Jiang Ruan looked down at the zombie banging on the driver's side window. Its eyes were drooping, and its brains mixed with dirt were sloshing around on it. The stench emanating from its body was even worse than that of a rotting corpse that had been sitting for days.

She couldn't help but pinch her nose.

Fortunately, the car had been modified to be very sturdy, and no matter how much they hit it, it wouldn't get any dents or bumps. She felt relieved and started thinking about her next move.

Just as she was contemplating whether to stay or leave, the silvery laughter in her mind turned into a pitiful cry, and she quickly used her spiritual sense to investigate.

Her baby, Jiang Baiyuan, was lying on the bed crying. The floor and bed were piled with cotton wipes and soft tissues for cleaning, and there were even a few used diapers.

With dark circles under her eyes, Wen Yu listlessly repeated the actions of wiping, laughing, and changing clothes, tears welling up in her eyes, and her voice becoming choked with sobs.

Upon seeing Jiang Ruan enter, she was so excited that she almost knelt down. "Master, you've finally come! Help! Now I finally understand why some mothers get depressed from taking care of their children. Even I can't do that!"

Wen Yu's voice seemed a bit more mature, no longer as childish as before.

Jiang Ruan picked up the child and coaxed him to sleep. After he was completely asleep, she put him on another bed, closed the door, and looked at Wen Yu. "What happened? You look so haggard after just a few days?"

Wen Yu gave a wry smile, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and was no longer the cheerful person she had seen a few days ago. "Master, he's been a bit fussy lately. I hold him for a while, then he cries for a while. I haven't had a full night's sleep in days."

When Jiang Ruan saw how aggrieved she looked, she wondered if she could find someone else to keep her company or help her out, but she was rejected as soon as she opened her mouth.

Jiang Ruan asked, puzzled, "Why? Aren't you very tired?"

Wen Yu said earnestly, "Master, people's hearts are treacherous. How could I entrust the baby to others? Besides, it's only for a few months. When she's older, her uncle and aunt can help you take care of her when they wake up, and I can finally relax a bit."

Jiang Ruan couldn't bear to expose her true feelings. She had simply spent a lot of time with the baby and developed feelings for him. As for the hardships and fatigue, she was just a system, not a person. She was just being affectionate and making empty promises.

She joked, "Actually, it's fine to take her out. I'll find someone to watch over her. Wanmei is fine too."

Wen Yu panicked and quickly stopped Jiang Ruan's actions. "Master, please stop! She still wants wages. I don't want anything. I'm not tired. I'm doing a good job. After all these years, it's not easy to find someone to play with me. Please!"

Meeting her sincere gaze, Jiang Ruan burst into laughter and stopped teasing her. After all, there was still a group of menacing zombies outside, and she didn't have much time to stay here.

He patiently explained a few things and then left.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she felt dizzy. She didn't expect that Anxia thought she was asleep or had been frightened into fainting, which was why she shook her so vigorously, afraid that something might happen.

Jiang Ruan grabbed her hand tightly and said loudly, "If you shake me any longer, I'll really faint."

Seeing that she had woken up, Anxia hugged her tightly, her nose snoring as if she had a cold.

"You bad person, you scared me to death! I don't care if I die, but what will happen if you die? You came out because of me, and I will feel guilty for the rest of my life."

Jiang Ruan pushed her away, then patted An Chun, who was stunned by the fright in the back row, and said helplessly, "Don't say so much. We can either stay here or leave quickly. Because the early zombies are not only poor in mobility, but also in their ability to sense light."

"In other words, they will return underground at dawn, and the world will briefly return to calm. Once night falls, they will come out again."

"Until thirty days later, as their ranks grow and their energy increases, they will no longer be afraid of light stimulation. That will be the real hellish moment."

Hearing Jiang Ruan's explanation, An Xia felt much relieved. She thought that once it was light, she could quickly go back to the company to withdraw the money, stock up on more goods, and then take them all to Jiang Ruan's shopping mall before dawn.

She knew it was too late to prepare a sturdy house, but there might still be a chance to get supplies.

An Chun shared the same idea; she didn't want to go to work. She wanted to quickly pack her things and beg Jiang Ruan to take her in, because she really couldn't survive on her own.

After the two calmed down, Jiang Ruan looked up at the boy who hadn't spoken and asked in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Shall we talk in person?"

"Sure, you're welcome anytime!"

Jiang Ruan chuckled, "You replied quite quickly."
