Chapter 262 The Original Heroine of the Apocalypse Who Became Cannon Fodder (Part 8) Rowling Beats...
When Luo Lin opened the balcony door, the first thing she saw was three large boxes of milk powder at Lin You's feet, along with a pile of baby supplies, including diapers, bottles, and even a few small toys.
"Give these to the baby first, hang in there, things will get better eventually." Lin You glanced into her room, where she was using a small barbecue stove to boil water, which was probably how she cooked.
She also left behind a large bag of charcoal, some medicines suitable for babies, and filled her water dispenser, buckets, and even the washing machine and bathtub with water.
Rowling knew she should kneel down and kowtow to her benefactor with immense gratitude, but looking into his gentle eyes, an inexplicable sense of grievance welled up inside her. Suddenly, she squatted down and began to sob.
Her crying wasn't loud, probably because she was scared by the zombies and didn't dare to make too much noise, but large tears fell to the ground.
Before the apocalypse, even if she could order takeout or use a delivery service, she would still find it incredibly difficult to take care of the child alone at home, and her husband would have to call her every day to comfort her.
For the past two weeks, she has had no water or electricity, and not much food. She has to take care of her child while also being wary of the zombies that gather outside when she hears the baby crying. She is really struggling to survive.
Lin You walked over, reached out and hugged her, patted her back reassuringly, and waited until she calmed down before leaving on his flying sword.
The zombie outbreak occurred during the day, and most people were at work, so not many stayed at home. Lin You walked around the neighborhood and delivered food and water to every household where there were still living people.
With her divine sense present, Lin You wouldn't have missed her target, but the design of her flying sword could easily lead people to mistakenly believe that cultivators truly exist in the world.
The energy system of this world is completely unsuitable for cultivating immortality, so Lin You can only use his flying ability to fool around.
It wasn't until after dark that she flew back with the Liu family of three, who were exhausted after killing many zombies.
Liu's parents were getting on in years, so after washing up and eating something to replenish their energy, they went straight to their room to sleep.
Liu Yiyi originally wanted to sleep, but seeing Lin You's watchful look, she had no choice but to resign herself to practicing another set of boxing techniques.
To avoid Lin You having anything else waiting for her, Liu Yiyi hurriedly showed her her new discovery about the cheat system before she could speak.
"Sister Tong, I accidentally rubbed some zombie fragments onto the cheat book, and it gave me a hint that they could be considered ingredients."
Seeing Lin You frown after hearing this, Liu Yiyi immediately opened the "Ingredient Creativity Guide." The first page showed mutated wisteria, and the second page contained the zombie fragments she had mentioned.
Zombie flesh and blood are edible. After special cooking, they can increase energy slightly. They are compatible with mutated plants. Humans are not advised to eat them, as they may cause varying degrees of poisoning depending on individual constitution.
It turned out it was for plants to eat. Lin You's discomfort finally subsided. After glaring at Liu Yiyi, she remembered what people in the administration building had said about the zombies disappearing.
Could it really have been absorbed by the wisteria?
After noting down this discovery, Liu Yiyi was finally allowed to rest. To be honest, urging the task recipient to study was much more comfortable than being urged to study herself.
Lin You didn't rest that night either. She ran around most of the city, delivering supplies to many trapped people. Now that she had her space bound to her, receiving supplies was a piece of cake, but she had to go to a lot more places.
In the pitch-black night, Shen Junhao, panting, pulled the exhausted Luo Yang to a corner. He could no longer see if there were any zombies nearby, nor could he tell which way to run.
The sound of rustling footsteps approached. Despair filled Luo Yang's face. He nudged his companion, who was trying to pull him along, and shook his head.
"Old Shen, I'm exhausted. I'm just a burden to you. You should run. Every life we can save is a life we can save. If you do survive, go back and tell the boss that Xiao Saying is no good at all."
Shen Junhao gritted his teeth and remained silent, only pulling him forcefully to the side. As if they had heard their voices, the footsteps grew closer and closer, accompanied by the low growls of zombies, and it sounded like there was more than one.
Shen Junhao gripped the stick he had picked up for self-defense and stood in front of Luo Yang, saying, "We can't leave now, so we have to take a gamble. If we survive this, we'll sew that jinxed Xiao's mouth shut when we get back!!"
Luo Yang, though not as strong as him, forced himself to stand up, picked up a rock, and teased him to ease the tension: "With your big, burly appearance, you think you can sew someone up? Do you even know how to use a needle and thread?"
"Can't I learn needlework when I get back?" Shen Junhao replied casually. By the faint starlight, he could already see the approaching horde of zombies, which numbered more than a dozen.
Just as the two were about to fight to the death, a whooshing sound rang out, and a wind blade flashed like a streak of blue light, sweeping past several zombies. By the time Cheng Xiao's wind blade stopped, half of the zombies had already been knocked down.
Shen Junhao and Luo Yang immediately stepped forward to finish off the zombies. The three worked together seamlessly and quickly wiped them out.
Cheng Xiao's already pale face became even more ashen, and the two hurriedly stepped forward to help him sit down against the wall.
"Brother Cheng! What are you doing here?" Shen Junhao remembered that Cheng Xiao had been bitten by a zombie the day before yesterday and had to leave the team. He and a few other team members had searched for him for a long time, but unfortunately, the ability users were too fast and they couldn't catch up.
"Brother Cheng, are you alright?" Luo Yang offered him half a piece of bread, but Cheng Xiao pushed his hand away and shook his head.
"There's a convenience store 200 meters to the left. The zombies inside have already been cleared out. Go over there, block the door with the lockers, and make do for the night. I'll take you back tomorrow."
His voice was abnormally hoarse, his limbs were much stiffer than before, and some bluish-purple spots could be seen on the skin of his neck.
Even the two who could laugh and chat with hordes of zombies couldn't help but tear up when they saw Cheng Xiao, who had always protected them, in this state.
"Brother Cheng, come with us to the convenience store. They have food there. Eating something will definitely make you feel better. Even if, even if human food won't work, I can bleed you out..."
Shen Junhao's voice was choked with sobs. Luo Yang pursed his lips and remained silent, but instead carried Cheng Xiao on his back.
She was so tired that she could barely stand, but now she had some unknown strength and led Cheng Xiao to the convenience store step by step.
This area has probably already been cleared out; the shelves are mostly empty, but there are still some edible items left.
The two tried to feed Cheng Xiao, but he waved his hand and said, "No need, I don't need to eat anymore."
When Lin You passed by, she didn't pay much attention. The convenience store had food and drinks, so she didn't need to help them out.
But when she scanned the area with her divine sense, she discovered that there was actually a superhuman infected with the zombie virus inside.
The other two were clearly old acquaintances of his, and they were planning to feed him their own blood in an attempt to make him feel better.
After the apocalypse, the proportion of people with superpowers who awaken is not high. Basically, out of every hundred people, more than thirty become zombies, and three or four become people with superpowers.
Unfortunately, many people don't realize what's happening and are bitten by zombies, quickly turning into zombies themselves. Every living person now is a hope for the future, and those with superpowers will be the main fighting force to clear out the zombies.
Lin You quickly flew down and carefully examined the condition of the superhuman; it looked quite serious.
Upon seeing that Lin You had flown down, the three immediately became more vigilant. Luo Yang tentatively negotiated, "Sir, please feel free to take whatever you need from the convenience store. If you wish to stay here overnight, how about we each occupy one side?"
"Was he bitten by a zombie?" Lin You's question immediately made Luo Yang and Shen Junhao's hearts jump, and the two of them immediately shielded Cheng Xiao behind them.
Cheng Xiao wanted to say he could leave, but the two of them covered his mouth, depriving him of his right to speak.
Although Lin You felt somewhat helpless, she could understand their thoughts: "I have a way to deal with this poison. Do you want to come back with me and try it?"
She had no evidence to prove that she was telling the truth, but as long as there was a glimmer of hope, Luo Yang and Shen Junhao were unwilling to give up, and the three of them quickly decided to go with Lin You.
Lin You, who originally only planned to take one person, saw their worried expressions and ended up taking all three of them with her.
Fortunately, she had prepared several slings to make it easier to take the Liu family of three out, so that all three could be hung on the flying sword.
Liu Yiyi's own "golden finger" was like a spring, providing a bowl of spiritual spring water every day. When she didn't need it, she would put it in mineral water bottles, and give one to each person in the family in case of emergency.
Lin You did not take the three of them back to the 60th floor where the Liu family lived. That was her home, and she could not let strangers in.
She sent him directly to the administration building. He's an ability user, so it's only by handing him over to the state that he can maximize his value.
Many people in the administration building were already asleep. Protected by wisteria, they didn't need anyone to stay and keep watch. Only the young man was sleeping in the lobby as a guard.
When Lin You arrived with his people, the wisteria vines unusually stretched out to block them, as it could sense that there was a human among them who was about to turn into a zombie.
Although it had already heard about Lin You's combat abilities during the day, it still felt it had to give everyone a heads-up.
The sleeping group was quickly woken up by the wisteria. Lin You felt no remorse for disturbing their sleep and, before the wisteria could react, she had already led the group inside.
The administration building is equipped with emergency lighting, which was originally turned off in case of emergency. Since Lin You came over late at night, the lights were naturally turned on.
Cheng Xiao's obviously unusual behavior, along with Zi Teng's abnormality, quickly alerted the leaders to what had happened.
It was the middle of the night, and Lin You didn't want to waste too much time. Before they could ask, she explained the situation: "This is a superhuman who was bitten by a zombie. I have a way to heal him."
After saying that, she winked at the senior leader, who quickly understood and patted another middle-aged man on the shoulder, "Comrade Zhao, go and lend a hand to Comrade Lin."
Lin You remembered that Liu Yiyi had mentioned the approximate positions of these leaders to her. The person surnamed Zhao was from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and was a former negotiator. It would be a waste of his talents to use him to deal with Cheng Xiao.
