Liu Yin's concern was not unfounded.
They were very close to City C, and the surrounding area was desolate, with dilapidated houses, messy streets, and traces of dried blood on the ground.
Under Zuo Yuan's oppressive aura, and with no zombies nearby, Liu Yin had the interest to look around at her surroundings.
Since the apocalypse, the sky has been a hazy, dark blue, and people haven't seen the sun for a long time.
This kind of environment is exactly what Liuyin likes.
She sometimes likes sunshine, but dislikes the scorching sun. The gloomy atmosphere of the apocalypse makes Liuyin feel inexplicably comfortable.
Zuo Yuan searched for a long time before finding a relatively clean hotel.
Just before Zuo Yuan stepped into the hotel, all the zombies had vanished.
Low-level zombies have no intelligence; they only submit and hide. With Zuo Yuan around, Liu Yin never worries about encountering those low-level zombies.
Zuo Yuan went up to the top floor of the hotel, glanced at the mottled marks on the surrounding walls, and frowned.
Compared to the villa I used to live in, the outside environment is really terrible.
Zuo Yuan opened and looked at each room before choosing one that was relatively clean and clearly hadn't been inhabited before the apocalypse.
However, everything in the room was covered in dust, and the once neat bedding was now shrouded in shadow.
Zuo Yuan focused his gaze on Liu Yin's face. "How is it here?"
"It can still be lived in after some tidying up."
Liu Yin nodded indifferently, "Mm."
Liuyin waved her hand, and with a ripple in the air, everything in the room was completely transformed.
This time when she came out, she still brought some furniture and household items from the villa with her.
Zuo Yuan gently placed Liu Yin on the bed, lowered his head and kissed her cheek, his eyes filled with affection.
"Wait for me to come back."
"Then when I wake up, I hope to see you by my side." Liu Yin hooked her arm around Zuo Yuan's neck and pulled him closer.
"Okay." Zuo Yuan nodded.
Liu Yin kissed the tip of his nose. "Go quickly and come back quickly."
Actually, there aren't many superhumans around here anymore.
Most people with superpowers choose to go to the base in order to stick together and keep warm.
Of course, this isn't to say that the base is perfect. But compared to the constant risk of encountering zombies outside, staying at the base offers a much better guarantee of safety.
At least you can get a good night's sleep without worrying about being attacked by zombies.
Moreover, the base treats people with superpowers very well; the stronger the superpower, the better the treatment.
However, a small number of superhumans still choose to stay outside the base.
However, such situations are now rare.
Since Zuo Yuan couldn't sense any superhuman presence in this place, he had no choice but to settle for finding some higher-level zombie crystal cores.
He didn't feel there was anything wrong with hunting his own kind.
Zombies are meant to evolve, so if a zombie hunts and digs out a crystal core, it only means that the zombie has failed to evolve.
As his level increased, Zuo Yuan even vaguely recalled some things from his previous life.
But for him now, the past is meaningless.
Even though Zuo Yuan has regained his normal body temperature and looks like a normal human being, his inner self is different.
Recalling the past only brought him immense pain, pain stemming from the many things he had done during his time as a zombie…
When he was a low-level zombie, all his memories were filled with bloodshed and violence.
But if he changes his mindset, sees himself as one of the zombies, and stops clinging to his past memories, everything will be different.
Zuo Yuan enjoys his current life; he is a strong person, but also someone who is needed.
The highest level of zombies here is only level three. Zuo Yuan looked at the two level three crystal cores in his hand and frowned with some disdain.
But thinking of Liu Yin who was still waiting for him, Zuo Yuan decided to go back first.
He returned at just the right time; Liuyin was still asleep.
Looking at the woman's peaceful sleeping face on the bed, Zuo Yuan's expression darkened, and then he gently lay down beside Liu Yin.
He reached out and pulled Liuyin into his arms, but his mind had already wandered.
Zuo Yuan was quite certain that he had never met Liu Yin before.
The woman's origins were also quite strange.
When Zuo Yuan returned from searching for crystal cores, he discovered that his territory had been occupied.
The house was filled with the scent of strangers.
Zuo Yuan had originally intended to make the outsider his meal, but he changed his mind as soon as he met him.
For reasons unknown, Zuo Yuan silently observed from outside for several days. He longed to possess it, but hesitated to take that step.
An uneasy restlessness lingered there.
Thinking of this, Zuo Yuan suddenly looked down at the sleeping woman in his arms. If it weren't for that day, he wouldn't know what the final outcome would have been.
Fortunately, he got what he wanted.

The three teams set off together for City C, but the journey was not smooth.
In the past, missions were completed by individual teams alone, but this time it is a team mission.
This inevitably requires the adjustment of personnel, and someone must learn to compromise and be patient.
Clearly, these superhumans who survived the apocalypse are not easy to bully.
At this moment, Sun Jue suddenly realized that his team was doing well.
Although they were all roughnecks, they wouldn't fuss over trivial matters!
Sure enough, Qing Xiaoying and Zhang Chuyue started arguing again.
The incident began when Zhang Chuyue rescued several ordinary people on the road and, seeing their pitiful state, left them some food.
She didn't intend for this group to follow their group, and Zhang Chuyue knew this too; she always knew how to be sensible when helping others.
This was her own decision, and she was giving away part of the food herself, so as not to cause trouble for her teammates.
Zhang Chuyue is indeed a gentle woman, and the team members have no objections to this, after all, it's her own business.
But Qing Xiaoying, who was standing to the side, rolled her eyes at Zhang Chuyue's actions and said sarcastically.
"Why are you pretending to be a good person?"
"If you were truly kind, why didn't you bring the others along?"
In her past life, Qing Xiaoying despised these fake-kind superhumans the most, and she still does now.
Simply saving someone's life and then hypocritically leaving them some food can earn you praise and compliments from many people.
He also earned a reputation for kindness.
But how can ordinary people survive in the apocalypse? Doing this will only prolong their deaths.
What's the point? In the end, we'll still die.
Her words were so harsh, and the implication behind them made one want to frown.
Zhang Chuyue remained good-natured, saying, "We're going to City C this time. Bringing them along would only expose them to more danger."
