Chapter 79 Self-Introduction
Lost in her own emotions, Luo Xingyou suddenly raised her head.
The next second, Luo Xingyou, carrying Luo Xinghe's body, walked forward shakily.
He refused any help from anyone.
Liu Ning: "My benefactors, shall I take you to rest first? We'll deliver the supplies to you as soon as we've finished inventorying and organizing them."
Lu Nange and the others exchanged glances and followed Liu Ning downstairs in tacit agreement.
Upon hearing the commotion, Wu Ge and the others who were moving the body stopped what they were doing and looked up.
The dark-skinned man wiped the sweat from his forehead.
His gaze swept over Lu Nange and her group, and he asked, "Liu Ning, are these the people who saved our lives?"
Liu Ning nodded quickly: "Brother Ge, yes!"
Wu Ge led everyone in bowing down.
A chorus of gratitude echoed through the ravaged house: "Thank you! Thank you for saving us!"
Wu Zhe raised his head, his gaze sincere: "Do you still not know the names of our benefactors?"
"He Zhuo!"
"Gu Wan!"
"Gu Qi!"
"Chi Yanzhou!"
"Lu Xi Ci!"
"Lu Nange!"
"Lu Bei Ye!"
"Wen Qing!"
"Chi Yi!"
"Ji Xian!"
...
Luo Xingyou held Luo Xinghe in her arms, her steps unsteady.
Upon hearing Wu Zhe's words, she turned to look at the crowd, also wanting to know the name of her benefactor.
After her benefactors finished introducing themselves, she managed a hoarse, breathy voice from her chapped lips: "Thank you, my benefactors!"
Wu Zhe's gaze fell on her arms: "Xingyou, what are you holding—"
Liu Ning then made a wink and coughed.
Wu Zhe didn't react at all. He pointed to the pile of corpses not far away, which looked like a small mountain: "Our benefactors said the bodies need to be burned for safety. Xingyou, why don't you burn the ones you have too—"
Before he could finish speaking, Liu Ning had already covered his mouth tightly.
He whispered a few words in Wu Zhe's ear: "Brother Zhe, that's Luo Xinghe."
"Xinghe?" Wu Zhe's pupils contracted sharply.
Luo Xingyou's eyelashes trembled, her gaze sweeping over her sister's pale face before suddenly turning to Lu Nange: "Could our benefactors please come with me first!"
Liu Ning called out anxiously, "Sister Xingyou?"
"I'll take our benefactors to rest." Luo Xingyou paused, then added, "You'll have everyone go and inventory the supplies, and bring the benefactors' supplies over?"
Liu Ning hesitated before looking at Lu Nange, until the other nodded almost imperceptibly.
"Thank you for your hard work, our benefactors, you've been busy all night!" Wu Zhe rubbed his hands together as he stepped forward. "We'll deliver the supplies to you as soon as we've sorted them out!"
Lu Nange and the others followed Luo Xingyou.
Gu Wan: "How about I help you carry it for a while?"
Luo Xingyou: "No need! Miss Gu, I can do it!"
......
The temporary accommodation was exceptionally clean, even smelling faintly of disinfectant, and was not far from the laboratory.
Luo Xingyou stood at the door holding Luo Xinghe: "Benefactors, no one has ever lived here. Please rest first. Someone will bring breakfast over in a while!"
As soon as the door closed, He Zhuo asked, "When are we leaving?"
Gu Qi: "That depends on whether we want the supplies or not!"
Lu Nange: "Let's wash up and change our clothes first, then we'll talk!"
Gu Wan tugged at the hair stuck to her neck: "Nan Nan is right, let's wash first! I feel like I've been rolling around in mud!"
After the water washed away the dust, hunger surged like a tide.
They didn't wait for Luo Xingyou to say she would bring them breakfast; they ate the steamed buns that Wen Qing had brought earlier.
After filling their stomachs, the group reached a consensus—while the survivors of Quzhou were still cleaning up the city, they would leave immediately after finishing their breakfast.
Just as they were about to leave after breakfast, there was a knock on the door.
Outside the door, an orange crystal core lay in Luo Xingyou's outstretched palm, like a frozen sunset.
"This is?"
"Xiao Zhu and the others... will go to Quzhou to kill zombies." Her gaze, however, remained fixed on the crystal core: "It's useful for upgrading ability users..."
Gu Wan suddenly interrupted, "Is it your sister's?"
Luo Xingyou's lips curled into a strange smile: "Yes, it's burned clean..."
She touched the metal box hanging from her waist: "It's better than... being dug up and gnawed on by those underground rats."
Luo Xingyou took two steps forward and pressed the crystal core into Lu Nange's palm.
She could tell that most of the people in this group were led by Miss Lu: "Take it, Miss Lu, it might be useful to you!"
The moment the crystal core touched her skin, it began to melt. Lu Nange didn't have time to refuse; she could only clench her fist and stuff it into her pocket: "...Thank you."
The lingering heat in her palm had not yet subsided when the sound of "Yes, yes" echoed in Lu Nange's mind, a frantic scream.
[Nan Nan! This is the kind of crystal nucleus! The more the better!]
Before Lu Nange could respond, a mechanical voice suddenly filled her consciousness.
[Congratulations, host! You have successfully triggered a covert mission and liberated Quzhou City!]
[The host's system backpack has been upgraded to system space as a reward; the ecological planting module is starting up...!]
System space! Ecological planting!
"Is there?" Lu Nange called out in her mind.
[You? Sleeping again?]
Lu Nange...
"Sister?" Lu Beiye's waving arm pulled her back to reality.
Lu Nange then realized that everyone was staring at her.
Gu Wan: "Nan Nan, are you tired?"
"I just remembered something." Lu Nange rubbed her temples. "Where were we?"
Luo Xingyou: "Can I leave Quzhou with you?"
Lu Nange looked down at her: "Isn't Quzhou City your home?"
Luo Xingyou forced a smile: "My parents and sister have all left. I want to... travel around."
He Zhuo clasped his hands together in front of his chest: "Miss Luo, this is no longer the time for 'just pack up and go.' In the past, going out to explore mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas was a way to relax, but now the world is full of zombies, going out is just a nightmare!"
Gu Wan, arm in arm with Lu Nange, looked at Luo Xingyou: "Yes, all the passages in and out of Quzhou City have been sealed off. There are no zombies inside the city, so barring any unforeseen circumstances..."
He Zhuo: "If nothing unexpected happens, something unexpected is about to happen!"
Everyone shouted in unison, "Shut up!"
He Zhuo: "..."
Luo Xingyou: "I am now a level two metal-type ability user, and I have the ability to protect myself! As for food, I will find a way myself and will not hold everyone back!"
Ji Xian...
