"Dad, Mom."
This time, without Fang Xiyue's obstruction, Xin Xin finally got out of the car and rushed towards Zhou's mother.
"Smack!"
Xin Xin covered her face in disbelief.
Zhou's mother's hands trembled. "How could you sneak out like that? What would your father and I do if something happened to you?"
Zhou's mother's eyes were red; she must have cried earlier because of her anxiety. She hugged Xin Xin tightly and burst into tears.
"Mom, I was wrong. I will never run away secretly again."
Xin Xin hugged Zhou's mother back, and the two of them cried uncontrollably.
"Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou, the zombies are coming. You should go home first; it's not safe here."
"The plants in Xin Xin's bag are attracting zombies. You'd better hand over the stuff to me."
Seeing that a large number of zombies were already heading this way, Fang Xiyue quickly interrupted the mother and daughter.
"Ah! I forgot about my sister, I'm sorry."
I only have a potted cactus in my bag, which I just picked up over there. I thought it looked pretty, so I put it away.
I just promised to give it to you, but since it's so dangerous, could you please throw it far away for me, sister?
As she spoke, Xin Xin opened the bag and took out the cactus inside.
A small red flower had actually bloomed on that cactus.
So this cactus doesn't belong to Xin Xin, so she definitely doesn't know how special this cactus is.
"good."
Fang Xiyue took the cactus directly and placed it into the space where they couldn't see it.
Instantly, the zombies lost their bearings.
[Ding! Beginner Post-Apocalyptic Mission 12 is complete. Rewards have been issued. Please check your account.]
"Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou, let us take you home. Please get in the car."
Although this neighborhood seems quite safe, who knows if zombies might suddenly jump out from there?
"good."
Zhou's parents didn't stand on ceremony with them either; in a time when danger lurked all around, there was no need for feigned politeness.
The three got into the car, and Zhao Liang drove them into the residential area.
"We can pick you up here on our way back. Just give us the exact address, and we'll probably be back tonight or tomorrow."
Platoon Leader Zhou's family can still lend a hand.
Fang Xiyue then remembered that when they left, Platoon Leader Zhou hesitated several times as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
He probably wanted them to help pick up his family, but in the end he didn't say it.
They probably didn't want to affect their mission progress.
"Okay, we live in room 201 of building 3. There are no zombies in our building yet."
There weren't many in the neighborhood, and the property management was very competent, with dedicated teams organized to clear out the zombies.
Zhou's mother gave the detailed address.
"Okay, you guys tidy up at home and wait for us to come back."
Fang Xiyue nodded to indicate that she had remembered.
After sending Zhou's mother and the others back, Fang Xiyue and her group set off again.
They should be able to reach the granary in about an hour.
It's 2:30 pm now, which means they'll arrive around 3:30 pm, much later than they expected.
[Fang Xiyue: System, did you notice anything special about that cactus?]
Fang Xiyue felt that the answer should be with Tongzi.
After waiting for a while, the system remained silent. Hmm? What's going on? Could it be because of that cactus?
She called out to the system again, and a line of words appeared in her mind.
—The system is undergoing an upgrade, which is expected to take 12 hours. Please wait patiently.
Well, it just happened so suddenly.
Fang Xiyue quickly tested whether the space was usable.
Seeing the bread in her hand, she felt relieved. Thank goodness.
If the space becomes unusable, they will have to go down and collect supplies.
"Sis, are you hungry?"
Fang Xichen looked at the bread in Fang Xiyue's hand and asked.
"Ah, a little. Are you hungry? Would you like some bread?"
You don't realize it until you ask, and then you do find out.
I used up a lot of my superpowers just now, so I definitely need to replenish my energy.
"Give me one too."
Fang Xichen reached out his hand, and the others silently followed suit.
Fang Xiyue released 10 loaves of bread, and everyone took them automatically.
After driving for about 10 more minutes, a group of 10 people suddenly appeared in front of us.
Their clothing was similar to theirs; they were all dressed in black and wearing masks.
"Do you think they've come to meet us?"
Wang Hui asked the question in a low voice.
"I suddenly feel like we're even more conspicuous dressed like this."
I didn't realize it before, but seeing them suddenly made me understand.
Chu Lin tugged at his clothes.
"Haha, I think so too. How about we change our clothes later?"
Dandan covered her mouth and laughed, "That's so cringeworthy!"
The group also noticed the car, and one of the men said something to the leader.
Then, someone came this way.
"Imperial Jade Liquor".
The man gave Zhao Liang, who had opened the car window, a secret signal.
Fang Xiyue was already subconsciously about to say 180 per cup.
"3.2 yuan a piece."
Uh, this...
"Pfft."
Fang Xiyue, Dandan, and Sister Xiu couldn't help but laugh, while the others remained calm.
"Comrades, we're here to meet you."
Zhao Liang shook hands with the person who came through the car window.
"We'll drive ahead and clear the way. You guys follow behind. There are a lot of zombies around the corner ahead."
The man pointed in the direction ahead; they had also come with great difficulty.
