Pei Linlang secretly encouraged Lin Yu to let Pei Yan pay off the debt, but he caught her on the spot. She didn't dare to stay and ran away under the pretext of going to the bathroom.
Pei Yan felt both angry and amused. He glanced at Lin Yu, whose face was red from coughing, and suppressed his uneasiness.
"Don't take Linlang's words to heart. She just loves to act silly. I apologize to you on her behalf."
The blush on Lin Yu's face was not from embarrassment, but from shock. After taking a sip of water, she finally calmed down. She waved her hand, indicating that she didn't take it to heart.
"It's okay. Linlang is lively and active at her age."
She looked up and saw the bloodstains on Pei Yan's clothes. With a sudden thought, she took out two sets of clothes from her space and handed them to him: "I don't know if they will fit you, but I see your clothes are dirty, so you should change them and wash them. By the way, I'm afraid the shower in the bathroom won't work. To be safe, you should use the water I condensed to boil water for a bath."
Pei Yan's eyes calmly passed over the soft whorl of hair on the girl's head. Before Lin Yu noticed, he looked away first: "Okay, I understand... Thank you."
Pei Yan used a lot of willpower to resist thinking about the possibility of "paying off the debt" that his sister mentioned, but at this moment he couldn't help but think about how likely it was to pay off the debt.
Life-saving grace...
Use him to pay off debts?
Pei Yan chuckled and lowered his eyes to hide the emotions in them.
Lin Yu didn't notice anything wrong with Pei Yan. After giving him two sets of clothes, he prepared to go upstairs to check and give Pei Linlang two sets of clothes as well.
Their clothes were more or less stained with blood and other dirt from yesterday's battle, so now that they had the conditions, they had to change their clothes.

The other side.
After Cheng Xiangbei left on his motorcycle, he went straight to the place where he had killed the zombies before. Fortunately, the distance was not far. When he arrived, the two zombies' heads were separated from their bodies and were still there.
Cheng Xiangbei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He got out of the car with an 80-centimeter-long piece of steel bar and fiddled with the zombie's brain, but found nothing except a pool of minced meat.
He was a little disappointed, but he quickly adjusted his mindset. There was another zombie next to him. What if the other zombie had a crystal core in its head?
Cheng Xiangbei turned his eyes to the other zombie, clenched the steel bar in his hand, and knocked it "bang bang bang" at the zombie's head that was still relatively intact.
After a while, the zombie's head was smashed into pieces by the steel bars.
After searching through the minced meat with a steel bar, Cheng Xiangbei's eyes suddenly lit up. He quickly picked apart the minced meat, revealing a corner of the crystal core.
Cheng Xiangbei carefully picked it up from a pool of minced meat, rubbed it on the grass nearby, wiped off all the minced meat on the crystal core, and then took it in his hand to examine it carefully.
It was exactly the same crystal core as the one Lin Yu showed him. Both were transparent, and the edges of the crystal core emitted dazzling light under the refraction of sunlight.
So this is the crystal core?
It’s hard to believe that such a beautiful crystal core came from such a disgusting zombie.
Cheng Xiangbei carefully put it into his pocket and zipped it up. He strode onto the motorcycle and was about to turn around when he suddenly stopped.
One crystal core can only be exchanged for a bottle of water and a pack of instant noodles. If he eats them sparingly, they will be enough for him to have two meals, but after he finishes them, there will be nothing left. After thinking it over, Cheng Xiangbei decided to keep going outside to see if he can meet other zombies.
After all, the novel says that the zombies are the weakest in the early days of the apocalypse. As long as he is careful, they should be easy to kill. Accumulating more crystal cores can increase his chances of survival in the apocalypse.
Recalling the golden light shield covering the outside of the villa and the lightning in Pei Yan's hand, Cheng Xiangbei couldn't help but be moved.
He was thinking... if he ate this crystal core, would he be able to awaken his superpowers?
After all, there are many examples in novels where the protagonist eats crystal cores and eventually awakens superpowers. He is not sure whether the real world is the same as described in novels.
Cheng Xiangbei didn't dare to take the risk. After hesitating for a moment, he finally suppressed the thought in his mind.
What if after eating the crystal core, he doesn't awaken his superpowers, but instead gets infected and turns into a zombie?
Just thinking about that scene made Cheng Xiangbei feel a chill in his heart. He didn't want to turn into a disgusting zombie!
Cheng Xiangbei gave up the idea and decided to go back and ask Pei Yan and Lin Yu, who had awakened their superpowers.
I have to say that Cheng Xiangbei did the right thing. He didn't eat the crystal core rashly, otherwise he would have turned into a zombie by now!
All crystal cores contain zombie viruses and cannot be swallowed directly. They can only be absorbed using supernatural powers, otherwise they will be assimilated into zombies by the crystal cores. This is the experience Lin Yu learned from others in his previous life.
She specifically pointed this out in her "Apocalypse Survival Guide," but anyone who has read this article would not eat crystal cores casually.
Cheng Xiangbei was so engrossed in reading novels those days that he didn't want to touch anything else. He opened his phone just to read novels, so naturally he missed the "Apocalypse Theory" and "Apocalypse Survival Guide" on the Internet.
Cheng Xiangbei turned the handle of the motorcycle and sped towards the road outside Qingquan Mountain.
On the way, he encountered mutated bullrush grass, the leaves of which were covered with dense thorns. Fortunately, he braked in time, turned the steering wheel of the motorcycle, and flew over the bullrush grass, otherwise his tire would have been scrapped.
Cheng Xiangbei was so busy avoiding the cowgrass that he naturally didn't notice a Pekingese dog with blue-white eyes lurking in a clump of weeds. Its fur was mottled, its rotten red flesh was exposed to the air, and drops of turbid and dark red blood dripped from both sides of its mouth.
His eyes, like those of a dead fish, stared at Cheng Xiangbei, looking for an opportunity to kill him with one strike.
“Hehe…”
Suddenly, three zombies appeared in sight. Cheng Xiangbei held the steel bar in his left hand, turned the handle of the motorcycle with his right hand, and rushed towards the zombies.
He was not used to using his left hand, so his attacks were always a little off, but fortunately the motorcycle was fast enough for Cheng Xiangbei to make up for these shortcomings.
Cheng Xiangbei rode his motorcycle around the three zombies, keeping a safe distance from them.
He found the right opportunity and thrust the steel bar into the zombie's head. He wanted to pull out the steel bar, but found that it was stuck inside. He had to give up the idea of pulling it out and simply strung the remaining two zombies together like candied haws.
Cheng Xiangbei breathed a sigh of relief, confirmed that there was no danger around, and prepared to get out of the car to take the zombie candied haws skewers off the steel bars.
He stopped the car.
It was at this moment that the Pekingese dog, half-crouching in the weeds, seized the opportunity and pounced on him.
Cheng Xiangbei's pupils suddenly shrank and he said to himself, "Oh no!"
He subconsciously raised the steel bar...
