An Qiao saw Bai Lu's foot being grabbed by a zombie and covered her mouth in fright. Then she burst into gloating laughter and pointed at Bai Lu, saying, "Retribution! You killed your own companions, and Gangzi and Xiao Wang died because of you. Now you can go and die with them!"
Chu Yunxiao held Yunlong in one arm and pulled Liu Anran back two steps with the other. He looked at Liu Xiong and Lao Liu with displeasure, thinking their reaction was too slow.
"What are you two standing there for? Hurry up and do it!" Chu Yunxiao urged.
Old Liu raised his gun, aimed it at Gangzi and Xiao Wang, who had already turned into zombies, and shot them both in the head. He watched them fall to the ground, unable to bear the sight, and closed his eyes.
They are all my companions!
Liu Xiong pointed his gun at the short-haired woman who was holding Bai Lu's feet—no, it should be the head of the short-haired female zombie—and blood and brain matter splattered onto Bai Lu's body.
Bai Lu looked down at the blood and brain matter stained on her body, her pale face filled with fear.
An Qiao looked at Liu Xiong with dissatisfaction and said indignantly, "Why did you save this vicious woman?"
"I..." Liu Xiong wanted to explain to An Qiao that he just couldn't bear to see a living person die in front of him, but looking at An Qiao's ferocious face, he swallowed back the words that were about to come out.
Liu Anran's eyes flickered. Was this the protagonist's halo? Even though she caused the deaths of Gangzi and Xiao Wang, someone still stepped in to save Bai Lu.
"This woman is so vicious, be careful you're the next one to die," An Qiao said viciously.
Bai Lu looked at An Qiao with a ruthless gaze; she was determined to find an opportunity to get rid of this woman.
Liu Xiong didn't explain to An Qiao, but instead said to Lao Liu, "Let's go get hoes and bury Xiao Wang and Gangzi. We can't let their bodies lie exposed in the wilderness."
Old Liu nodded in agreement, and together with Liu Xiong, they carried Gangzi and Xiao Wang to an open space by the roadside. They then found hoes and shovels and began digging a hole.
"Let's go see if Luo Yuyu has finished cooking," Chu Yunxiao said to Liu Anran.
“Okay,” Liu Anran said.
Luo Yuyu saw Chu Yunxiao carrying Yunlong and walking into the house side by side with Liu Anran. He put the basin he was carrying on the table and said to Chu Yunxiao, "Boss, I cooked some potatoes. Eat them if you're hungry. I'm going to go see Uncle Liu and the others."
Chu Yunxiao put Yunlong down on the ground, took a potato from the basin and handed it to him, "Yunlong, have a potato. When we get to town, Dad will definitely make sure you have something delicious to eat."
Yunlong asked, "Dad, do you have chicken legs and rice?"
"Of course, Dad will definitely make sure you have rice and chicken legs," Chu Yunxiao assured him.
Yunlong sighed and said, "Dad, if we don't have rice, steamed buns will do."
Liu Anran said to Yunlong, "Yunlong, don't make things difficult for your father."
After saying that, Liu Anran helplessly rubbed Yunlong's head. He still wanted to eat steamed buns. Would he want to eat hamburgers next time?
"The supermarket's food has probably been mostly taken away, and there will only be less and less to eat in the future," Liu Anran said, frowning.
Chu Yunxiao said, "After the apocalypse broke out, everyone likes to go to supermarkets to find supplies. Few people go to the factory canteen or restaurants to find food. Some wealthy people like to hoard goods, but when they leave, they can't take all the things with them, so they have to give them up. When we get to the next town, we can go to these places to look for food. Maybe we can find something to eat."
Liu Anran looked at Chu Yunxiao with admiration in her eyes; he truly lived up to his reputation as the male lead.
“You’re absolutely right. After the apocalypse broke out, everyone went to supermarkets and markets to find food, but neglected factories and hotels.”
Chu Yunxiao said, "There are many people in factories and hotels, and quite a few of them should have turned into zombies. Residential areas are even more densely populated, so there are even more zombies. Moreover, no one can guarantee that they can find supplies in hotels, factories, or residential areas, so everyone should go to supermarkets and farmers' markets as soon as possible."
Liu Anran nodded upon hearing this and said, "Factories and hotels are fraught with danger, and no one wants to take risks. However, as food becomes scarce, people will form groups to go wherever there is food in order to survive."
“There are zombies everywhere now, so farmers can’t farm at all. Without farming, there’s no food, and the water is polluted. Everyone’s life will only get harder and harder,” Chu Yunxiao said with a gloomy expression.
Liu Anran said, "There are water-type ability users, so there's no need to worry about water shortages. But once the food is gone, there won't be any more. Fortunately, there are also wood-type ability users who can accelerate plant growth. However, large-scale food cultivation still depends on farmers. If you encounter farmers who are skilled in farming and have good character on the road, be sure to keep them in your team."
Chu Yunxiao put his arm around Liu Anran's shoulder and said worriedly, "We're going back to Beijing. There are many dangers along the way, and I might be careless. You must take good care of yourself."
Liu Anran looked at Chu Yunxiao's arm around her, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. It seemed that Chu Yunxiao cared about her more and more.
“I know, I will protect myself and take good care of Yunlong.” Liu Anran said, taking out a bottle of water and handing it to Chu Yunxiao. “Yunxiao, you also need to be careful. Yunlong and I both need your protection. Without you, it will be difficult for us to survive in the apocalypse.”
"I know, I'll be careful." Chu Yunxiao said, unscrewing the bottle cap and gulping down several mouthfuls of water.
Liu Anran wiped Chu Yunxiao's mouth and said softly, "If you're thirsty, tell me. We're not short of water."
Chu Yunxiao handed the water bottle to Liu Anran, gesturing for her to put it away, and then said, "We can't reveal that you have a spatial dimension for now. Moreover, the water in your space is even sweeter than the water Anqiao released. Unless it's absolutely necessary, you must not take the water out, as it could easily lead to people's imaginations and affect your safety."
Liu Anran put the water bottle away and looked at Chu Yunxiao, saying, "I can say that I have water-based superpowers."
Chu Yunxiao reached out and poked Liu Anran's head with his finger, his eyes filled with a doting affection that he himself didn't realize. "Spatial, water-based, and metal-based abilities—you've revealed them all at once. Aren't you afraid of being captured and dissected?"
Liu Anran looked at Chu Yunxiao and said, "Yunxiao, I am still a wood-type ability user." As she spoke, she stretched out her palm, and a green tooth appeared in her palm.
Chu Yunxiao looked at the green sprout in Liu Anran's hand, his eyes flashing with surprise. He couldn't help but reach out and poke it. "Such a tiny green sprout, are you going to fight zombies?"
"Yunxiao, this thing is so small, what use can it be?" Liu Anran said.
Chu Yunxiao touched his nose; it was indeed too small. But to comfort Liu Anran, he forced himself to say, "Even if the green sprout is small, it's still a special ability. Once the ability improves, the green sprout will grow bigger. You need to be patient. Besides, you also have a metal-type ability, so you won't have any problem protecting yourself."
Liu Anran raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you trying to comfort me?"
"What do you think?" Chu Yunxiao countered.
Liu Anran held Chu Yunxiao's hand and looked at him, saying, "I'm the mother of your child, of course you're comforting me!"
Chu Yunxiao looked at Liu Anran's beautiful eyes, which sparkled, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
When Liu Anran looked up, she met Chu Yunxiao's eyes, which were as bright as stars in the night sky. She was captivated by them.
Seeing Liu Anran staring at him intently, Chu Yunxiao's eyes flashed with a smile. He reached out and gently pinched Liu Anran's cheek, teasingly asking, "Have you stared enough? Is it pretty?"
"He's handsome, such a good-looking face, I can't get enough of looking at him," Liu Anran said shamelessly.
Chu Tianxiao couldn't help but smile, then frowned and asked, "If you meet a man who is better looking than me, will you keep staring at him?"
Liu Anran seemed to smell a hint of jealousy and quickly said ingratiatingly, "No matter how handsome those men are, they're not you. I only like looking at you."
Chu Yunxiao's eyes lit up upon hearing Liu Anran's words, and he gently poked her forehead. "You have a sweet tongue; you know how to make me happy."
"I'm not lying, I swear, I'm speaking from the bottom of my heart. In my heart, no one can compare to you," Liu Anran said confidently.
Chu Yunxiao is the male lead. Whether it's his appearance, ability, or how he conducts himself, he is impeccable. Such an outstanding man is truly one of a kind.
