The helicopter, like a lithe eagle, flew smoothly over City A. Meanwhile, the zombie horde surged into City A like a raging tide, leaving a trail of bloody carnage in its wake.
The horde of zombies was like black ants in the desert; they would swarm to any place where there was any movement.
Even survivors hiding on the top floor of high-rise buildings could not escape their attacks.
People kept jumping off tall buildings to escape the zombies, but what good did it do? They just ended up smashed to pieces.
Hearing the roar of the helicopter, the survivors on the rooftop, who were being attacked by zombies, saw a glimmer of hope in the darkness and frantically waved their arms.
"Help! Help! We're here!" Their cries sounded like a final struggle for life, or a strong desire to live.
"Help! Stop!" they cried out in despair.
It's a pity that Ye Ning can't save them. Even if she saves one person, what difference will it make?
She couldn't possibly save everyone; in the apocalypse, self-preservation was the wisest choice.
There are no good people in the end times, because kind-hearted people don't even live more than three months.
In her previous life, when the zombie outbreak occurred, the kind-hearted Ye Ning also felt that she should be kind to others and help each other, but unfortunately, all she received was disappointment and betrayal.
What impressed her most was the grandfather and grandson she and Xiao Jingchen rescued. It was at the beginning of the zombie outbreak when they were trapped on the third floor of a library.
The little boy had clear, bright eyes and always called his older sister "sister" this and "sister" that.
She rescued him and his grandfather from a zombie apocalypse.
But in the end, it was he who stabbed her in the back.
The reason was simply that she had given him half a loaf of bread less, and he repaid kindness with enmity, wanting to kill her.
If Xiao Jingchen hadn't noticed in time, she would have died under mysterious circumstances long ago.
From then on, she stopped sympathizing with anyone indiscriminately, because the price of sympathizing with others could be her own life.
"It's gone! Why did it fly away? Is there really no one coming to save us?" The people watched helplessly as the helicopter, which they had seen as their lifeline, flew away like a heartless bird. They wailed and cursed, their voices echoing through the sky.
"Jingchen, don't you think I'm cold-blooded?" Ye Ning looked at Xiao Jingchen hesitantly, like a frightened deer.
"No!" Xiao Jingchen answered without hesitation. In his heart, Ye Ning was his whole world, and the life and death of others were like fleeting clouds, not even worth his attention.
Even if the world were to be destroyed in the next second, he wanted to become a solid fortress to protect her until the very last second.
The city was like a hell devoured by demons, overrun by zombies everywhere. Xiao Jingchen piloted the helicopter, flying like a bird through this collapsing world, and finally returned safely to the shelter.
Compared to the bloodshed and darkness of other parts of City A, the shelter was like paradise, a veritable haven.
Ye Ning could see Lei Siming and the others working busily in the planting center outside the first layer of walls from afar.
After Lei Siming's ability was upgraded last time, Ye Ning gave him two more energy pills to further upgrade his ability.
So far today, he has been able to catalyze six times.
Under his maintenance, the planting center has a considerable daily output. The grains and vegetables produced can not only supply the daily consumption of the base and shelter, but also have a surplus of 2/3, which Ye Ning stores in his space.
They have recently been researching how to use these grains and vegetables to make semi-finished products.
For example, making homemade flour or dried vegetables.
The helicopter landed smoothly in the shelter. Before the cabin door could even be opened, Wang Ma and Long Fei immediately surrounded them.
"Miss, Young Master Jingchen, are you alright? I heard something happened outside!" Wang Ma asked anxiously.
"Wang Ma, we're fine, we just went out to collect some supplies!" Now that they all have superpowers, Ye Ning no longer needs to hide her spatial ability.
Before Wang Ma and Ye Ning could exchange a few pleasantries, Brother Long Fei quickly surrounded them.
"Miss Ye, Mr. Xiao, I heard there's been a zombie outbreak outside. Is that true? Did you encounter them head-on this time you went out?"
He wasn't worried about Xiao Jingchen and Ye Ning's safety at all. Ever since he was defeated by Xiao Jingchen, he had only blindly trusted Xiao Jingchen. He was just curious about what zombies were really like and whether they were as troublesome as rumored.
“We’ve encountered it!” Xiao Jingchen said coldly.
"Mr. Xiao, are those zombies really as powerful as the rumors say?" Brother Longfei was not afraid at all; on the contrary, he felt a little excited.
"He's pretty impressive! I advise you to avoid running into him!" Xiao Jingchen rolled his eyes at him.
"By the way! Miss, Young Master Jingchen, have you eaten yet? How about I cook you a meal?" Wang Ma came over again. As a typical woman, she had no interest in fighting and killing. In her eyes, there was only family matters.
"Uh! Okay!" Only then did Ye Ning realize that her stomach was growling with hunger.
"Alright! I'll go prepare right away!" Wang Ma immediately went downstairs excitedly. She was of no other use now except to take good care of Miss and Young Master Xiao's daily life.
"Alright, let's talk about these things later! Jingchen and I are going back to our room to rest for a while!" Ye Ning pulled Xiao Jingchen towards the living area.
The first thing I did upon returning to the living area was to quickly take off my clothes and change into clean ones.
"Ahhh! I'm finally back, I'm so tired!" Ye Ning threw her clothes into the fireplace and then comfortably lay down on the sofa.
These clothes were stained with the pus and blood from the zombies and were beyond washing.
"You've worked hard this time, take a good rest!" Xiao Jingchen looked at Ye Ning, who was lounging on the sofa, with a doting expression.
"Jingchen, come and rest for a while too!" Ye Ning said coquettishly.
"Okay!" Xiao Jingchen sat down on the sofa, and Ye Ning, like a docile kitten, immediately rested her head on his lap. Xiao Jingchen gently combed Ye Ning's hair with his hands, as if playing a beautiful melody. The atmosphere was peaceful and beautiful, like a warm and cozy painting.
"Miss! Young Master Jingchen! Dinner is ready!" Wang Ma's voice came from outside the door at just the right moment.
