Ye Zhi's current level of mental ability is level seven, which is an absolute level of suppression for Lu Ben and Zhang Dongliang. Their mouths opened involuntarily.

Suddenly, an indistinct object entered their mouths. Just as they were about to spit it out, the pill turned into water and flowed down their throats into their bodies.

Seeing this familiar scene, a look of understanding flashed across Ye Yubai and Lu Ke's eyes. They had taken the Loyalty Pill, so these two strangers would be their companions from now on. Wasn't this happening too fast? They had just learned the two men's names from Ye Zhi.

Ye Yubai felt a renewed sense of crisis. He was truly exasperated. First, a zombie came to compete for his favor, and now two men were vying for it. His position was in jeopardy.

After the Loyalty Pill was completely absorbed by Lu Ben and Zhang Dongliang, the beautiful voice of No. 001 rang in Ye Zhi's mind, "Beep—Congratulations to the host for completing the mission. The supermarket and intelligent robot have been credited to your account. Please check."

Ye Zhi suppressed her excited heart and looked at the two people who were still opening their mouths. Zhang Dongliang and Lu Ben's mouths were getting wider and wider, almost big enough to swallow their own fists.

Ye Zhi urgently called a halt, and Zhang Dongliang and Lu Ben slowly closed their open mouths, rubbing their aching jaw joints.

Ye Zhi scratched her head sheepishly, "This is my first time using this skill, I'm not very skilled at it, sorry."

This is a new mental skill she independently learned after leveling up, a more advanced form of controlling people than simply immobilizing them.

Zhang Dongliang and Lu Ben looked at Ye Zhi with eyes full of submission. "It's alright, but how did you know our names, little one?"

The look of submission in Zhang Dongliang and Lu Ben's eyes was immediately apparent, even more so than when Lu Ke and the others had taken the Loyalty Pill.

Because Lu Ke, Ye Yubai, Old Master Song, and the other three had been spending several months with Ye Zhi, and they all treated Ye Zhi like their lifeblood. Since learning Ye Zhi's hidden identity, Ye Yubai had wanted to curry favor with her, and the best way to do that was to show his submission.

Ye Jingyu, Song Yuanqing, and Grandpa Song were also very curious about how Little Sweet Bean knew these two people's names. Could these two be the mission Little Sweet Bean mentioned in her previous thoughts? The mission was about a motorhome and thermal underwear.

Ye Zhi noticed the gazes of Grandpa Song and the others on her, and smiled mischievously, "It's a secret."

The sudden appearance of System 001 was too difficult to explain, and Ye Zhi didn't know where to begin.

Ye Zhi glanced furtively at her grandfather, father, and mother's expressions, but her family was so clever, they must have guessed it by now.

The three old men smiled indulgently. It was a secret, after all, it was related to that dog that suddenly appeared and disappeared. They didn't ask for anything else, as long as Ye Zhi was alright.

Zhang Dongliang and Lu Ben also smiled, their smiles carrying a doting affection that they themselves were unaware of. They really liked the little child in front of them and wanted to get close to him, so they decided not to press him for details.

"Uncle Bai, please treat Uncle Lu's wound." Ye Zhi said to Ye Yu Bai, looking at Lu Ben's still bleeding wrist.

She thought it would require a lot of blood, so she made a cut on Lu Ben's wrist. But when she took out the test tube to collect the blood, No. 001 told her that only one drop of blood was needed. Ye Zhi tearfully collected a full test tube of blood.

Ye Yubai was already sitting next to Lu Ben, calming him down. After hearing Ye Zhi's words, a green plant-based light shone from his hand, repairing the wound on Lu Ben's wrist.

Zhang Dongliang keenly noticed that when Ye Yubai released his superpower, the flowers and plants around Ye Yubai were noticeably more vibrant than the surrounding plants. "You're the superpowered individual who manipulated the big tree outside the villa to hit people?"

Ye Yubai raised an eyebrow and smiled noncommittally.

Lu Ben looked Zhang Dongliang up and down, his face showing obvious concern. "Are you injured?"

Zhang Dongliang shook his head and took off his coat, he was so hot. "It wasn't me, it was Tang Qiang."

Lu Ben looked down at his wrist. The wound on his wrist had already scabbed over thanks to Ye Yubai's plant-based superpower. He casually uttered a single word, "Oh."

It was Tang Qiang who was injured; it has nothing to do with him.

He wasn't stupid. He knew perfectly well what Tang Qiang meant by his obviously seductive tone and the greed in his eyes. Bringing him back to the supermarket where they were temporarily staying was just bringing back a punching bag, a punching bag that could be beaten at any time and that Tang Qiang would beat without any remorse.

Zhang Dongliang's glasses reflected the color of Ye Yubai's superpower. "However, young man, your superpower is really amazing. You can both fight and heal."

Ye Yubai liked to hear this. He looked at the newly joined Zhang Dongliang with a genuine smile and said, "I also think that your mental ability is not bad. It is a mutated mental ability."

This was the first time Zhang Dongliang had learned that his superpower was called a mental superpower. "Thank you. My name is Zhang Dongliang, and I am a researcher at the B City Research Institute."

He glanced at the sky through the glass of the villa; the sun had already set. "It's getting dark. Lu Ben and I didn't mean to offend you. Sorry, we'll leave now."

After saying this, Zhang Dongliang glanced at Ye Zhi. For some reason, he couldn't bear to part with this little girl he had just met, even though he didn't know her name.

Ye Zhi and the others looked up in confusion, and Old Master Song even asked, "Leave? Where are you going? This is your home."

When Lu Ben heard the word "home," his heart clenched painfully. He missed his family. He hadn't had a home for a long time. Could he ever have one again?

Lu Ben cautiously asked, "Is this my home?"

Ye Jingyu nodded, Old Master Song nodded, and everyone else nodded, giving Lu Ben their full approval.

Ye Zhi explained, "What I just gave you was a special loyalty pill from our family."

“You will remain loyal to me forever. You are my people now, and my home is your home.”

Welcome home!

Grandpa Song and the others echoed, "Welcome home!"

They didn't know why Ye Zhi wanted to take these two people in, but they supported her decision.

Lu Ben felt a tightness in his chest. Looking at the people around him who were opening their arms to him, he seemed to see his relatives who had died on the first day of the apocalypse welcoming him home.

He looked up at the sky and seemed to see his parents, wife and children smiling and waving at him. Is it you? Did you find me another home?

You, don't you blame me for burning you to death?

Lu Ben's eyes gradually welled up with tears. He saw his father, his mother, his wife, and his child shaking their heads.

Lu Ben rushed up and gave a big hug to Grandpa Song, Ye Jingyu, Lu Ke, and Ye Yubai, who had their arms outstretched. Then he pulled out an urn from his bulging black cloth bag and burst into tears.
