Liu Chang's team was no match for An Ning's team and suffered a crushing defeat, with An Ning taking back the necklace.
Anqi was very unwilling to accept this. When she ran away, she threw a fireball at the original owner. The original owner could not dodge it and was burned to death.
Amidst the raging flames, her hatred welled up. Why did the An family's affairs have to involve her?
It was clearly Anqi who was greedy and tried to steal the treasure first. She deserved to be defeated by Anning. Why should we blame her?
She wanted to find her parents, to live a peaceful life, not to be abandoned, not to be treated like a discarded child, not to live under someone else's roof, and not to be at the mercy of others.

Xiao Li opened her eyes. The original owner was definitely a tool. That necklace was undoubtedly a spatial magic item, and it was another way to give space to the female lead.
Xiao Li examined the necklace carefully but did not choose to claim it as her owner. In the apocalypse, a space is usually a lifeline for this world, and if she takes possession of it, she must bear the responsibility for the future of this world.
The consequences of this are too great; she doesn't want to cause trouble.
The original owner wanted to find her family, so Xiao Li picked up her phone and dialed their numbers.
"Beep...beep beep..."
This time the call actually went through; it must be because the time was earlier.
"My dear Xiaoxiao, where are you? The apocalypse is here, you must protect yourself."
"Mom, I know, you're the same."
"Xiaoxiao, listen to me, stay at home and wait for us, we'll come pick you up."
"Mom, don't come. I'll come to you. You're too old for me. You must listen to me this time and don't come looking for me."
Also, if the situation gets critical, we'll meet up in City B, understand... beep... beep beep..."
Suddenly the line went dead. Xiaoli didn't know if her parents had lost signal, but she had to find them as soon as possible.
She took stock of the supplies at home, putting everything usable into her storage space, and only packing some lightweight items in her backpack.
Xiao Li lifted the curtains, and several zombies were wandering the street outside. Some were walking around, and some were gnawing on some severed limbs, just like the ones described on TV.
This world is too dangerous; the most important thing now is to improve my own strength.
If you pay close attention, you can sense that there isn't much spiritual energy in the air, but it is definitely present. It's likely that the spiritual energy revival is recent, and there will be more in the future.
Upon entering the space, it was discovered that the original owner's spiritual root was actually a metal spiritual root. Unfortunately, she had never awakened any special abilities, probably because she was too timid and her mental strength was not strong enough.
Xiao Li chose a cultivation method suitable for her golden spiritual root and began to cultivate it wholeheartedly.
She didn't stop until she broke through to the first level of Qi Refining and stabilized her cultivation.
She tied her hair up, put on a baseball cap, wore sportswear and sneakers, and set off with a backpack.
As soon as she opened the door, she found someone outside about to knock. Xiao Li took a step back, ready to make a move.
"Xiaoxiao, where are you going? Why didn't you answer my call?"
It turned out to be the original owner's boyfriend, Liu Chang. She took out her phone and saw that there were indeed two missed calls.
This time, Xiao Li didn't call him, but he called her instead.
After thinking about it, Xiao Li changed her mind about setting off alone.
"Sorry, I didn't hear you."
Liu Chang pushed open the door and went inside. "Let's stay at home. The government will come to rescue us."
Xiao Li didn't move. "I'm going to K City to find my parents. Do you want to come with me?"
"It's too dangerous outside. Should we wait until the government officials arrive, and there are more of them, before we set off?"
Liu Chang had already used up all his courage by coming here, and he needed to play it safe for a while.
Xiao Li didn't speak, she just looked at him calmly.
"Okay, I give up. Besides cooking, what else can you cook? It's so chaotic outside, you're going to regret this."
"I need to go find my family as soon as possible. As for you, please do as you please."
Xiao Li turned and left. Liu Chang was so angry that he gritted his teeth when he saw her leaving, but he still followed her.
The zombies at the entrance had been cleared away, and it was only the early stage of the outbreak, so there weren't many zombies on the street yet. Xiao Li easily found a car, but the owner had become a zombie and was trapped inside.
Xiao Li used her superpower to turn into a key and open the car door. Liu Chang was stunned. When did Guan Xiao Li become so powerful?
Inside the car was a middle-aged male zombie. Perhaps because he was in a car, the corpse was quite clean and tidy, and he was even wearing a suit.
It sensed human presence and lunged at the car as soon as the door opened. However, the seatbelt was still restraining it. Not wanting to get the car dirty, Xiaoli took out a bucket and covered its head with it.
He grabbed its claws, unbuckled the seatbelt, pulled the zombie out of the car, and then chopped off its head with a single blow.
Xiao Li looked down on the driver's seat and said, "You drive."
Liu Chang had no objections. After tidying up a bit, the two got into the car, and Liu Chang kept asking questions.
"Xiaoxiao, what was that just now? Was it a superpower from a novel? It was so cool."
Xiao Li gave a curt "hmm." Seeing his girlfriend's coldness, Liu Chang assumed she was still angry and reached out to take her hand.
Xiao Li glanced at him, and Liu Chang suddenly felt the air around him turn cold. He turned his outstretched hand around and touched his arm instead.
Seeing that Xiaoli had no intention of talking, he started the car.
At this point, there were few cars on the road. Occasionally, when they encountered zombies, they would simply ram into them without even getting out of the car. They made their way to a gas station without any major incidents.
At this gas station, we ran into the Angie and Annie sisters, but they had obviously arrived a bit early; the two sisters hadn't stopped here yet.
Xiao Li opened the door of the convenience store at the station, and a zombie dressed as a clerk rushed out.
His sharp claws went straight for Xiaoli's face. Xiaoli drew the machete from her back and chopped off the zombie's head.
Liu Chang looked like he'd seen a ghost. Was this really his introverted and insecure girlfriend?
"Xiaoxiao, how did you become so amazing?"
"Oh, I've always been this good. I used to hide it because I was afraid of scaring you."
Liu Chang looked bewildered. "Is that so?"
The two cleaned out the supplies in the shop, each replenishing some and putting them in their backpacks. They also cleared out the zombies at the gas station before finding an empty employee dormitory to stay in.
Liu Chang was still waiting for his girlfriend to feed him, while Xiao Li had already finished her dinner and lay down to go to sleep.
Seeing that there was no more noise from Xiaoli's room, he put away his hand that was about to knock on the door and went back to his room to eat his dry rations.
It started to drizzle in the evening, beginning as a light rain but gradually getting heavier.
Xiao Li looked at the torrential rain outside the window, speechless.
Even though they had avoided the plot and arrived here ahead of time, the sudden downpour caused them to stay here for two days.
