Chapter 257 The Former Female Protagonist of the Apocalypse Who Became Cannon Fodder (Part 3) Liu Yiyi...

Liu Yiyi had been living in fear for half a month and had gone through a fierce battle. Now she could finally sleep soundly and didn't wake up until dark.

Then she discovered that her capable and diligent sister had cleared out six floors of living space for her.

In the post-apocalyptic world, where there's no need to worry about food and drink, a height of sixty stories provides a considerable sense of security. Lin You even thoughtfully prepared a rooftop covered with solar panels.

They thought they could use electricity freely, but it turned out that neither of them knew how to install circuit boards.

Lin You was a little confused. After learning about so many worlds, she thought she was an all-rounder, but it turned out there were still things she didn't know.

Liu Yiyi sighed with some disappointment: "If only my dad were here. I remember he fixed all the electrical wiring in our house when I was little."

After saying that, she couldn't help but feel disappointed, "I wonder how my parents are doing now. We talked on the phone on the first day of the apocalypse, and then I haven't heard from them since."

Liu Yiyi's home is more than 300 kilometers away from here. Normally, it would only take a little over an hour to get from school by subway, but now it has become a place that is out of reach.

Lin You scratched her head. Flying on her sword wasn't much slower than taking the subway, but she didn't know the way, and there was no navigation for this thing.

"Sister! Sister Tong! I can find the way! I can be your human navigator!" Upon learning that Lin You could fly so far, Liu Yiyi's eyes immediately lit up. "You're amazing! You're definitely the most dashing and handsome sword flyer I've ever seen!"

"You talk as if you've seen other people who can fly on swords." Lin You pinched her cheek helplessly, then picked her up and put her on the flying sword.

Although Liu Yiyi didn't know how to get around by land, she often took the subway home. As long as she followed the subway tracks and the station signs she was familiar with, she was almost always on the right track.

"Over there, yes, that's the track, going all the way south, yes, yes, turn here, take the leftmost fork in the road..." Liu Yiyi chattered excitedly as she looked at the familiar station sign.

On the day the apocalypse arrived, except for the first day when some people turned into zombies, no one else did. When Liu Yiyi spoke with her parents on the first day, they were both fine.

Her family was relatively well-off, but her parents had a hard life when they were young and were very frugal. They had a habit of stockpiling food, and with the milk and bottled water they often stored at home, they could last for a month without any problem.

Lin You flew faster on her sword than a subway train, but with her spiritual energy protecting her, Liu Yiyi didn't feel uncomfortable from the wind. Instead, she felt a thrill like riding a roller coaster.

At first, the girl was a little reserved, but after a turn that was too fast, she couldn't help but hug Lin You's waist. After she wasn't rejected, she became much bolder.

Not only did he cling to Lin You tightly, but he also became more talkative, chattering away the whole way, mostly about her parents.

Lin You quickly learned that her father's name was Liu Jingyuan, a native of Jiangnan, who was extremely skilled with his hands. He was good at electrical work and carpentry. When she was a child, she was always the most outstanding in the parent craft assignments given in kindergarten. His best dish was sweet and sour fish.

Her mother's name is Su Wanwan. She is from Northeast China and is best at managing the company and her father. Every employee in the company speaks of her with awe and respect. Of course, her father is the same. He is best at cooking one-pot dishes.

As they walked on, Liu Yiyi kept swallowing her saliva while describing the deliciousness of Northeastern stew to Lin You, making Lin You's mouth water.

Finally, to avoid ruining his image, he grabbed a handful of beef jerky from his spatial storage and stuffed it into her mouth, finally giving her some peace and quiet.

The Liu family lived in an old neighborhood, and because they were all familiar neighbors, they never moved even after they became wealthy.

The residents here are mostly older neighbors; the younger ones are either working or studying, so most of the houses are empty.

When the first wave of zombies arrived, the elderly were too slow to react, and almost half of the residents in the neighborhood died. Now, only three households remain in Liu's building.

Su Wanwan's name sounds delicate, but she actually has a lively and enthusiastic personality. She often visits neighbors to chat, and she knows exactly how much grain each neighbor has stored.

Although it was inevitably sad that all the neighbors had turned into zombies, the food couldn't be wasted. On the second day after the zombie outbreak, Su Wanwan and her husband moved the food supplies of several neighbors who had become zombies and were wandering around for future use.

He also pointed out a way out for the other two families who had no food reserves, so as to prevent them from taking desperate measures when they were in dire straits.

When Liu Yiyi saw a residential area, she wanted to scream, but she managed to restrain herself in time for fear of making a noise. However, she couldn't help but glance at her own window.

Lin You knew she was anxious, so she flew to the window first to let the little girl see what was going on at home. Liu Yiyi, who was excitedly pawing at the window, met Su Wanwan's eyes as she heard the noise and came over with a stick to take a look.

Liu Yiyi was still gathering her emotions when tears welled up in her eyes. Before she could even utter the heartfelt cry of "Mom!", Su Wanwan inside had already thrown down her baseball bat.

"Oh my god! My eldest daughter is back! Honey, come quick! Our Yiyi is back! Come inside quickly, are you hungry? Mom will have your dad make you some food!"

Su Wanwan hurriedly tried to open the door, but then realized that the two people had climbed onto the window using flying swords. The windows on this side all had security bars, so it was impossible for them to get in.

When Lin You and Liu Yiyi landed on the ground and then struggled to climb to the fourth floor, Liu Yiyi's emotions had been building up for too long, and she could no longer cry.

Upon entering, Su Wanwan didn't wait for her daughter to say anything before serving them food: sealed braised chicken legs, sausages, bread, and milk. Before the apocalypse, these things were considered meager for entertaining guests, but now they would be considered top-notch.

Seeing her daughter eating so politely, just like her father, Su Wanwan felt relieved; it was clear she wasn't hungry.

Then look at Lin You next to me, who only ate a few potato chips as a token gesture. Well, this one is even more capable. As a mother, I naturally know what my daughter is capable of.

Let alone being able to make it home over 300 kilometers in the apocalypse, even if you had a small electric scooter before the apocalypse, she might not have been able to ride it back.

She had just seen clearly that this person had flown back on a sword with her daughter, so she knew without a doubt that this was the powerful figure her daughter had latched onto.

After Liu's father peeked out to greet his daughter and Lin You, he continued cooking. He used a small charcoal grill and some ingredients he had stored away, and the dish smelled like stewed potatoes with cured pork.

"Mom, this is my savior, Lin You, and also my adopted sister. From now on, she's part of our family," Liu Yiyi said proudly, clinging to Lin You's arm.

"When I was little, I asked you to give me an older sister, but you all disagreed. You even told me to find one myself if I was capable. Look, I've found one for myself!"

Su Wanwan rolled her eyes at her daughter, then handed some snacks to Lin You. Only when Lin You didn't show any displeasure did she feel relieved.

"Okay, from now on we're family. Daughter, see if there's anything you like to eat here. Have a couple of bites first, then we can have dinner later." Su Wanwan's tone was even more affectionate than before.

She subconsciously grabbed these snacks when she was stocking up at the neighborhood supermarket; they were all her daughter's favorites. She only realized her daughter was out of town after she finished stocking up.

I never imagined that my daughter would not only be alive and well, but also meet a wise man who brought her back!

"Auntie, no need to bother. It's just that Yiyi was worried about you, so I brought her back to check on her." Lin You had countless snacks in her own space, so there was no need to consume other people's food supplies.

When she saw Su Wanwan trying to persuade her again, she couldn't resist the hospitality and quickly changed the subject: "We have one more thing to do after we came back. We'd like to know if your parents plan to stay here or come with us to the city we visited before."

Hearing Lin You bring up serious matters, Su Wanwan hurriedly called her husband, who was stewing meat, over. Such important matters naturally needed to be discussed as a family.

Liu Jingyuan was a refined and scholarly man, yet he was quite knowledgeable. He quickly pulled out a map and, after a series of analyses that others couldn't quite understand, came to a conclusion:

If the country intends to restore normal urban operations, it will likely begin with the first-tier city where Liu Yiyi previously attended university.

"Moreover, our neighborhood is too old, but the supplies are very complete, and we don't have much ability to resist. If we encounter superhumans who want to steal our supplies, there is basically nothing we can do."

The safety is nowhere near as good as the high-rise building you've prepared, and living there isn't as convenient. If Lin You doesn't mind having too many of us and the hassle of moving, it would be more suitable for us to move there.

Lin You nodded to indicate that there was no problem, and even gave each of them a storage bag so that they could collect supplies themselves.

A storage bag can hold one cubic meter of contents, and even ordinary people can use it. After obtaining the storage bag and learning how to use it, Liu's parents belatedly realized that this person wasn't a superhuman, but a cultivator?!

In the apocalypse, people with superpowers are not uncommon, but those who cultivate immortality are definitely a rare species. Lin You felt a little uncomfortable under the shocked and admiring gazes of the two, so he quickly coughed to remind them that it was time to get to work.

This is when you can see who's in charge in this family. Whether it's Liu Jingyuan or Liu Yiyi, they both completely obey Su Wanwan's orders.

Liu Jingyuan's space was filled with boxes of milk, beverages and mineral water, as well as various breads, biscuits and snacks that had been poured in directly after their outer packaging was removed.

Liu Yiyi's space was filled with rice, flour, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and a charcoal stove that could cook without electricity. She even stuffed in a small pot full of pickled eggs.

Her own storage bag was used to store the three of them's clothes, bedding, shampoo, shower gel, and other daily necessities. In the spare space, she also stuffed a few of Liu Yiyi's favorite novels.

From the moment Su Wanwan started packing until she stopped, it took less than half an hour. In the end, she even neatly braided a sturdy rope for each storage bag and hung it around her neck to prevent it from getting lost.

This decisive and meticulous nature is indeed very suitable for management. Of course, there are more than four people living in their place. With Su Wanwan around, it saves a lot of trouble.
