The system's words left Ruan Tian stunned.
"Huh? What did you say? System, are you sure you're not kidding me?"
[I'm not joking with you, host. I advise you to act quickly, or Bai Chulan will really die.]
Upon hearing that her precious baby, who could save her life, was dying, Ruan Tian quickened her pace instantly.
"How could he be dying so soon? I haven't even had a chance to meet him yet!"
Ruan Tian was extremely anxious. She had earned enough gratitude points from Ye Mofeng and originally wanted to stroll leisurely along the road, but who would have thought that a Cheng Yaojin would suddenly appear out of nowhere!
[Host, even if you're in a hurry, be careful of the zombies on the road. Don't get eaten alive by them.]
Fortunately, it's the early stages of the apocalypse, so the zombies aren't very powerful. Plus, Ruan Tian has a map to use, which makes things much easier.
Ruan Tian rushed towards City C without stopping, fearing that her precious baby would die in the mouth of zombies, and every now and then she would ask the system:
"System! How is my precious baby? Has it already died?"
System: [Don't worry, host, you're still alive.]
Ruan Tian breathed a sigh of relief, then the next second she heard the system say:
But it ended very quickly.
Ruan Tian almost choked on her breath, "..."
Can the system please finish explaining this important information in one go?
Ruan Tian, who was just about to sit down and rest for a while, had no choice but to stand up again.
She quickened her pace, carefully avoiding the zombies on the road, and relied on the powerful map to avoid a lot of trouble.
Finally, they successfully arrived in City C before sunset.
Following the location clues drawn by the lottery, Ruan Tian arrived at an extremely remote abandoned factory in City C.
She covered her mouth and nose and coughed softly: "System, why would he come here out of the blue?"
In such a remote place, there are no people or zombies to be seen.
[I don't know either. After all, I'm just an innocent system. If you have any questions, host, you can ask them yourself after you find a target.]
"I need to find it first."
Even with map clues and the red dot representing the target on the map always near Ruan Tian, she still couldn't find it.
During the event, due to the dim lighting, Ruan Tian almost lost her footing and accidentally scraped her exposed knee.
"Hiss," she gasped, enduring the slight pain as she patiently continued her search.
Finally, Ruan Tian found Bai Chulan, who was unconscious against the wall, in a super hidden spot between the first and second floors.
She immediately ran over and carefully helped Bai Chulan up.
The moment the other person's face was exposed to the light, Ruan Tian stopped breathing.
Bai Chulan is so beautiful, there's not a single flaw in her.
His hair was a beautiful gold, not from cheap hair dye, but from the light element that had been absorbed after his superpowers were awakened.
In the dim light, the gold seemed to have a life of its own, emitting a faint glow.
It must be said that Bai Chulan's features are like God's masterpiece, with delicate features that are as perfect as if they were carved from jade.
However, Bai Chulan was poisoned by a snake. It was a mutated small snake, and the snake's corpse lay not far away, its head already cut off.
She carefully placed Bai Chulan's head on her lap and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"System, do you have any information on Bai Chulan?"
[Host, Bai Chulan was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He is the only child in the Bai family. His wife's health is very poor and she cannot have a second child.]
Therefore, Bai Chulan had no freedom when he was a child. His every move was monitored, and he was even forbidden from keeping a dog by his wife.
He inherited his wife's constitution and was frequently sick with fevers. Later, he secretly adopted a kitten and treated it as a symbol of his faith.
After the apocalypse, he awakened a unique light-based superpower, capable of healing any injury.
The system paused for a moment at this point:
Unfortunately, he could heal anyone but himself.
Upon hearing this, Ruan Tian was stunned. This statement was strangely ironic. Her seemingly invincible superpower was actually the same as Bai Chulan's family background.
Before the apocalypse, the Bai family was incredibly powerful, and as the sole heir, Bai Chulan could grant freedom to anyone.
But the only thing they couldn't do was give themselves freedom.
This made Ruan Tian feel a little more affection for Bai Chulan when they faced each other.
Adding to that Bai Chulan's handsome face, the affection was even stronger, and it even carried a hint of maternal love.
[Host, there's no time to shower you with love now. Bai Chulan's health is poor; she's about to die from snake venom.]
Ruan Tian quickly summoned the small cart. Since the steamed buns could restore health, she immediately set up the steamer.
.
The jingling sound woke Bai Chulan.
But he didn't open his eyes immediately; instead, he remained unconscious and listened carefully.
A woman was singing, not some eerie nursery rhyme, but rather the songs of Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf.
Bai Chulan: "..."
The air was filled with the aroma of xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), an aroma so tempting it made one's mouth water.
Xiaolongbao?
Why would such a delicacy, considered a top-tier state banquet in the apocalypse, appear here?
He gently opened his eyes, revealing only a slit, and saw Ruan Tian busily working.
This woman has a very non-threatening appearance, especially her eyes, which don't look like someone who has experienced a cruel apocalypse.
Instead, it exudes a kind of innocent foolishness, much like a college student.
But Bai Chulan did not let her guard down; the simpler something seems, the more dangerous it is.
His fingers slid down gently, landing on the dagger behind his waist. If Ruan Tian made any sudden movement, he could kill her cleanly and swiftly.
Ruan Tian had no idea that Bai Chulan had already woken up. Seeing that the steamed buns were ready, she immediately brought them to him.
"Why isn't he awake yet?"
Ruan Tian took a closer look and found that Bai Chulan's eyelashes were really long and his skin was especially good.
"My god, her skin is as white as milk! What skincare products does she use? Wait, it would be stupid of me to say something like that in the apocalypse."
Ruan Tian was amused by her own words, and she couldn't help but reach out and gently touch Bai Chulan's face twice.
"Wow, this skin is so smooth and soft."
After finding it pleasant to the touch, Ruan Tian touched it several more times before reluctantly withdrawing her hand.
Bai Chulan, who was pretending to be unconscious: "..."
To prevent Ruan Tian from doing anything else to him, Bai Chulan opened his eyes at the right moment and met Ruan Tian's gaze in confusion.
"Who are you?"
Upon discovering that Bai Chulan had finally woken up, Ruan Tian did not hesitate at all. She picked up a small steamed bun with her chopsticks and forcefully stuffed it into his mouth.
Bai Chulan was stunned by Ruan Tian's unpredictable behavior.
