Tao Rui dug out the crystal cores of the two zombies. The tap water in the villa was still usable, so he rinsed them together with the dozen or so crystal cores he had dug out, took them out and placed them on the coffee table.
The transparent crystal-like cores stacked together are like jewelry, super beautiful.
Ji Yingying was stunned. "So many?"
She picked one up and examined it carefully against the light from the window, her face filled with disbelief. She murmured, "This is the first time I've touched a crystal core in all these days."
They'd dug up crystal cores before when they went out to fight zombies, but only psychics could absorb them to increase their powers. Peng Yuedong was their leader, so of course he had to hand over all the cores. Liang Yurou's healing abilities were also very useful, and she had to use the cores to upgrade. So, they all got some food and didn't even get a chance to see the cores.
Xia Lin looked at it for a moment and gasped, "Doctor Tao, you killed all of these in the supermarket? Did your physical condition improve so much after you acquired superpowers?"
Tao Rui accepted it calmly, "Perhaps this is the special feature of people with special abilities. Otherwise, having special abilities without physical strength is useless."
Tao Rui's ability to kill so many zombies made everyone feel a lot more relaxed. After a short rest, Tao Rui asked the children to go to the bedroom to rest first, and the three adults threw the zombie bodies out.
The villa had everything, and the three of them quickly cleaned up the messes. Tao Rui went to the kitchen and found the refrigerator plugged in, realizing there was indeed a generator. He first checked the contents; the frozen items were fine, but most of the refrigerated items were spoiled. He didn't examine them closely and simply dumped all the refrigerated food into the anti-fresh basement.
You will know whether it is bad or not after a while, but anything that is not rotten can be returned to its freshest state.
He took a large piece of pork belly and thawed it, then called Ji Yingying and Xia Lin to the guest room. With a wave of his hand, a pile of clothes, shoes, backpacks, and other things appeared on the bed. He said, "I've just picked up some, but I haven't looked at them yet. They probably have all sizes. Pick out what you want to wear and put them in these backpacks. You can put them in the space later so that everyone's things can be categorized and easily accessed."
There was a pile of clothes that was as tall as a person, and Ji Yingying and Xia Lin opened their mouths in surprise.
Tao Rui smiled and pushed Ji Yingying to the bed. "Don't rush to pick them all. There will be plenty of time later. Go to sleep when you are tired. I have activated the villa's anti-theft system and powered on the wall. No one can get in."
Ji Yingying nodded and smiled, pulling Xia Lin and saying, "Sister Lin, let's go pick out some clothes. I didn't expect there would be so many clothes to change into in the end times. Oh, and where's Yangyang? There are children's clothes here."
Xia Lin took the children's clothes and looked at the size while smiling, "Yangyang has fallen asleep. I'll change him later when I get up."
Tao Rui glanced at Zhou Yangyang. The little boy had been tired, scared, and nervous these days, but now he was relaxed and sleeping soundly.
He went to take a good shower. The original owner was still wearing a white coat when he ran out of the hospital. He had been wearing the same clothes for days and they were getting rotten. After taking a shower and changing into new clothes, he felt comfortable. He shaved in front of the mirror and immediately became a fresh and handsome man.
Tao Rui let out a long sigh. "This is much better. The most annoying thing about the apocalypse isn't the zombies, it's the dirt. I'll have to wear a mask when I go out. I also need to practice my water-based skills quickly. Water makes things much cleaner."
[Brother Rui, are you practicing now? I'll help you keep an eye on it.]
[Not yet. Although it seems safe now, Yingying and Sister Lin are still shocked and frightened. If I don't show up, they will definitely feel insecure.]
Now let them choose some clothes to keep them occupied. Later, they'll have a nice bath, a good meal, and a good night's sleep, and they'll be almost recovered. I'll practice while they sleep.
[Brother Rui! Look at the map, there's someone at the gate!]
Tao Rui looked at the map on the virtual screen, and sure enough, there were two small yellow dots outside the door.
He wiped his hair and went to the living room, turned on the electronic screen outside the door and asked, "What's the matter?"
The two people outside the door were startled, then quickly responded, "Hello! Hello! We just saw you enter the villa and throw out two zombies. They looked amazing!"
"Yes, buddy, you're amazing. Do you think there's any food in this villa? Can you give us some? We have elderly parents and young children to support..."
Tao Rui didn't even finish listening. He went straight to the refrigerator, took out a bag of frozen steamed buns, and threw it out through the door. "Just this once. Goodbye."
The two men were so excited that they thanked him repeatedly and ran back with the steamed buns.
The people who were watching in other villas were even more excited. After a discussion, six or seven people came from several villas and crowded outside the gate to beg for food.
[Brother Rui, there's a villa nearby that's empty, except for five zombies. They don't dare go in, otherwise they could find food on their own.]
[It doesn’t matter. I don’t need it.]
Regardless of whether what they said was true or not, he had such a large space that he could collect supplies at any time and would not be short of food. It would be fine to give them the things in the refrigerator.
But he is not the Holy Father, and all he can give them are the frozen goods in the refrigerator. If they are greedy, that is their problem, because they can't get in anyway.
Tao Rui put a large plastic bag filled with frozen large bones, chicken breasts, lamb chops, etc. from the refrigerator and threw it directly to them. He said lazily: "These are the only food in this house. There is nothing else. We will leave tomorrow. Don't harass us again. Otherwise, I can kill zombies, and I can kill you too."
"Please take me with you, I'm alone!"
"Take us with you, there are only two of us in my family!"
Tao Rui smiled and said, "I'm taking my wife and children to the county town to rescue two elderly people. Do you want to go?"
After a moment of silence outside, Tao Rui returned to the house. He watched from the surveillance camera outside as a few people started fighting over food, their ferocity no less ferocious than that of zombies. He sighed. If he had that much energy, wouldn't he be better off clearing out the zombies? There weren't many zombies around here anyway.
But none of this concerned him. The pork belly had already thawed, so he washed his hands and began to simmer the braised pork. He found the onions, ginger, and garlic in the re-freshening basement; they'd been picked up from the supermarket earlier and had already been successfully re-freshened. The kitchen also had all the seasonings; nothing was missing.
Ji Yingying and Xia Lin smelled the fragrance and came over, saying, "We'll do it. You go and take a rest. You're exhausted today."
Tao Rui sprinkled the seasoning on the table and said, "I'm an excellent cook. I'll give you a taste of my cooking today. Have you picked out your clothes?"
"I've picked it out." Ji Yingying smiled. "Luckily, Sister Lin and I are both thin, so most of the clothes can fit us. If there are any sizes that don't fit, we can alter them when we have time."
"Well, there's enough space now, let's put everything away first." Tao Rui saw Xia Lin taking the initiative to simmer rice and said, "There's nothing to do in the kitchen. The meat will take two hours to stew. Let's all go and rest."
Charlene asked, "Do you want to search the house for anything?"
Tao Rui said, "Don't worry, search after dinner. Then see what you really want to use. Put the rest away and look for it later when you need it."
When he said that, Ji Yingying laughed, "It's great to have a space! Brother Rui, it's a good thing you activated your superpowers, otherwise we wouldn't know what to do. Come on, go get some sleep, I'll set the alarm. Sister Lin, you should go to bed too, we may not be able to sleep in such a comfortable bed in the future."
"good."
The three of them rested separately. Tao Rui said he didn't want to disturb Ji Yingying's rest, so he shared a room with her. No matter how close you are, when you want to rest well, having someone around will always affect it. Ji Yingying didn't think much of it, but Tao Rui wanted to have an independent space to practice.
He possessed three spiritual roots: water, earth, and wood. Normally, his cultivation would be slow, but his journey through the world of cultivation, from the bottom to the top, was no joke. He knew almost every top-level technique. As long as he used the right technique and allowed his spiritual roots to complement each other, he would naturally be able to cultivate quickly.
He quickly thought of the most suitable method, pulled the curtains, sat cross-legged on the bed and began to practice.
No matter how scarce the spiritual energy is in every world, he insists on practicing. Even if it is just to strengthen his body, he will practice for a lifetime, just to never forget the feeling of practicing.
This thing is like muscle memory. When the practice is engraved into the soul, it will be practiced naturally, drawing qi into the body faster and faster each time to nourish the meridians.
Especially since this world is rich in spiritual energy, he absorbed even more spiritual energy. After the spiritual energy circulated through his meridians for two big cycles, all the fatigue in his body disappeared, and he became energetic and full of strength!
Tao Rui began to guide the circulation of spiritual energy according to the requirements of the exercises. The three kinds of spiritual roots began to take root and sprout like seeds that were irrigated and nourished, and there was some movement.
Tao Rui circulated the Qi in one cycle again, then finished and opened his eyes.
[Brother Rui, how is it? ]
"Very good, the technique is correct. It won't be long before I reach the first level of Qi Refining. It's also true that my spiritual awareness seems to have become much stronger." Tao Rui pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized, "In my previous life, I used my spiritual space for almost twenty hours every day. Although it was for writing novels, I was constantly training my spiritual power. I didn't expect it to become so much stronger. This is a good thing. From now on, I won't need you to scan for me; I can see and detect everything around me."
Tao Rui was somewhat pleased. He had quite a few targets to quest for in this life. Not only did he have to find them in the apocalypse, but he also had to find a way to keep them alive. This wasn't something he could do simply by staying alive; of course, the stronger he became, the easier it would be.
Seeing that it was almost time, he found potatoes and eggs in the space, added them to the braised pork, reduced the sauce, and called a few people out to eat.
The fragrant braised pork and the fragrant rice are simply delicacies on earth. They were made by Tao Rui and are just like the imperial meal.
Zhou Yangyang took a big mouthful of rice and said with emotion, "I never knew rice was so delicious. I always thought all rice tasted the same. Uncle Tao, your cooking is so delicious!"
Tao Rui said with a smile: "That rice was cooked by your mother. Try the braised pork, it's delicious."
Zhou Yangyang's face flushed, and he quickly took another bite of the braised pork. This time, his eyes widened as he gestured to the three of them, "Delicious, delicious! Mom, hurry up and eat! I was right, Uncle Tao's cooking is delicious! It's so delicious!"
Ji Yingying and Xia Lin thought the child was exaggerating, but their eyes lit up as soon as they took a bite of the meat. Ji Yingying was surprised and said, "Brother Rui, your cooking skills are so good?" She suddenly said sourly, "You have never cooked for me."
"You are so busy with announcements every day, how do you have the time? Sometimes when you are free, I still have to be on duty." Tao Rui took out a bag of kelp pickles, a bag of bamboo shoot pickles, and a few bottles of milk drinks from the space and gave them to everyone to eat.
Ji Yingying smiled and said, "Then we don't have to work from now on, and I will be with you every day." After she said that, she suddenly saw Zhou Yangyang's big eyes opposite her. Before others said anything, she felt embarrassed. She coughed twice and quickly invited everyone to eat.
They could only eat compressed biscuits and expired dry bread in that small supermarket every day, and sometimes they didn't even have water to drink. Sitting in a luxurious three-story villa and eating such delicious meals like this is a life they could never have imagined in their dreams.
Everyone ate their fill during this meal, not even the soup or pickles were left over. They truly did not waste a single drop of food.
Zhou Yangyang, wearing new clothes and having a full belly, sat on the carpet watching cartoons. She couldn't help but say, "It feels like I've returned to the days before the apocalypse. It would be so great if all those scary monsters could be eliminated."
His eyes were wet and he tried hard to open them wide and wipe away the tears when the adults were not paying attention.
He had one more thing he wanted to say: If only dad were still alive.
But he couldn't say it, because if he was sad, his mother would be sad too. His mother said that they had to live on bravely and let their father go to heaven to wait for them first, and they would reunite with their father later.
How could a child hide something? Tao Rui and the others had already noticed that he was holding on. Xia Lin, with red eyes, sat down next to Zhou Yangyang and hugged him gently. "The monster will disappear sooner or later. We can see it."
Tao Rui and Ji Yingying looked at each other and left silently, giving them and their son some independent space.
Tao Rui didn't want Ji Yingying to feel sad, so he pulled her hand and said, "The owner of this house is gone. Let's go see what's in the house."
"Yeah." Ji Yingying nodded, becoming interested. "Brother Rui, how big is your space? Can you store frozen items? Will the superpower consume your body? Do you have any special feelings?"
Ji Yingying turned into a person with a hundred thousand questions and wanted to know so many things. Tao Rui picked out the ones he could tell her and they went to the bedroom at the edge of the third floor to start looking while chatting.
The clothes are all very good, put them all away.
Ji Yingying happily took care of her skin, found a suitcase to pack the cosmetics, and asked Tao Rui to put them away carefully.
Quilts, mattresses, carpets...
It’s not certain whether it will be useful in the future, but because there is space, Ji Yingying wants to collect everything she sees.
Finally, all the movable items such as the dressing table, bed, and single sofa were put away.
Ji Yingying looked at the empty room and whispered, "Isn't that a bit exaggerated?"
Tao Rui smiled and said, "No, you can collect whatever you want. If you run out of space later, throw out the useless ones."
Ji Yingying immediately smiled and pulled Tao Rui to the next room. "Let's hurry. Even if we don't need them, maybe grandpa and grandma will want to use them. It's better to store more things so that we don't panic."
So they "swept" room after room, it was really like moving house, and they even left out a lot of furniture.
Tao Rui stacked up beds of the same size so that they didn't take up much space and he could pile a pile of quilts on top, which saved him a lot of trouble.
The clothes are also collected together with the hangers. The wardrobes in the villa are fixed to the wall. Later, I can go to the clothing store to buy some long clothes racks, so that I can hang all the clothes.
The feeling of buying whatever she liked made Ji Yingying find the pleasure of shopping in the mall. Her previous dullness was swept away, and she was so happy that she smiled in the end.
They also went to the garage and found a car that was more drivable. They checked it out and poured the oil from the other cars into plastic drums and stored them in the space for later use.
There were various tools placed on three walls of the garage, and Tao Rui of course collected all of them without leaving any behind.
In this way they almost emptied the entire villa!
Ji Yingying sighed again, "It's great to have a space. I don't have to suffer anymore. But I can't rely on you to kill zombies all by yourself. I have to find a way to train and become stronger, otherwise I will hold you back."
After the joy faded, Ji Yingying thought about the most practical problem. She and Tao Rui were a couple, and Tao Rui now had special abilities. Even if they encountered other teams, they would protect him and would need his space to help.
But she was still useless. In the end times, being beautiful wasn't even an advantage, but a danger. She might bring disaster to Tao Rui. So the only thing she could think of was to become stronger herself and not drag Tao Rui down no matter what.
She clenched her fists and looked at her arms. "Once I dressed up as a Barbie doll and got a lot of complaints. Now I feel like I have to be a Barbie doll."
Tao Rui pulled her into the house with a smile, "Okay, okay, King Kong Barbie, get some sleep first to recharge your batteries. We don't know what we might encounter on the road tomorrow. Only when you're well fed and well rested will you have the energy to exercise. For now, just focus on driving for me."
"No problem." Ji Yingying was a good driver, and she was very confident. She felt much better now that she had used it.
At night they all drew the blackout curtains and went to bed early.
Tao Rui still stayed in his own room, letting the system keep an eye on the villa while he immersed himself completely in cultivation.
In the second half of the night, there was some commotion among the three people in the villa opposite.
They are two brothers who live in the villa and a classmate who came to visit.
The blond student said, "They gave us food so easily. There must be more in the villa. Anyway, that guy is so powerful. Even if we take the food, he can still find it."
The younger brother felt bad. "I'd better go and beg him tomorrow. If he catches us stealing, it'll be bad luck. He warned us not to go over there."
"That's the only villa without zombies right now. Besides, it's your neighbor's house, so why can't we take it? I'll go get it! Secretly, they must be asleep."
"But if they find out tomorrow that something is missing, they will definitely pursue it. If they find out, they will come to retaliate. Forget it, let's wait until they leave and then go over and take a look."
"Idiot!" The blond glared at him. "If they leave, there won't be a single bite of food left. If you don't want to go, don't eat. I'll get the food myself. Humph, I'll open their door after I get the food. It's not certain whether they can survive until tomorrow. Who are you going to take revenge on?"
The yellow-haired boy ran out after saying that. The two brothers were shocked and terrified, not knowing how to stop him. But they decided to separate from this classmate in the future. He actually wanted to harm others, which was too scary.
The blond man tiptoed into the villa and climbed over the wall just like Tao Rui did when he entered the villa.
But when Tao Rui arrived, the villa's anti-theft system was not turned on. Tao Rui turned it on later. As soon as the man went up, he was electrocuted and fell to the ground with a scream.
A zombie in the distance heard the sound and moved towards this side. The man was electrocuted and felt dizzy. His hands and feet were weak and he couldn't get up. He shouted for help in a panic.
His screams pierced the night sky. The two brothers had never killed a zombie before and were very scared. They hesitated and did not dare to come out. Their screams only attracted more zombies.
Ji Yingying and Xia Lin were both startled awake. They ran out, looked at each other, and hurried to check the surveillance outside. When they saw that the man had been electrocuted while climbing over the wall, they no longer had the heart to save him.
If the villa's anti-theft system could not be activated, who knows what he would do after breaking in.
The two of them were a little surprised why Tao Rui didn't come out, and they were also a little worried about what to do when more than a dozen zombies gathered outside the door.
But after watching for a while, they found nothing to do and decided to hurry up and get some sleep. After all, they would be setting off at daybreak and needed to conserve their energy.
Several zombies surrounded the door and pounced on the yellow-haired man like a pile of monks, and the screams gradually disappeared.
The people in the nearby villas shuddered upon seeing this. They'd thought Tao Rui was a young man, perhaps offering him food out of embarrassment. Unexpectedly, he was devoured by zombies, and Tao Rui and his companions hadn't even shown up. This put their minds to rest, and they alternately complained about the lack of help and considered whether to just drive away, struggling to keep up a sleepless night.
In the main villa area, Tao Rui and his friends were probably the only ones who had gotten a good rest. Tao Rui was the first to get up in the morning, and after a night of practice, he felt refreshed.
He washed his face with a new toothbrush from the supermarket, cooked some porridge and went out.
He turned off the anti-theft electric fence, climbed out from the side wall, and quickly ran into the villa next door.
There were five zombies in the villa. He used his life-saving magic tool to easily kill the five zombies and dug out the crystal core. After that, he went into the house and cleaned it up again.
The house had no electricity, but there was a backup generator in the warehouse. Tao Rui stored all of this in his space, along with an SUV and an RV. He found spray paint at the house and spray-painted the words "Inside is Empty" on the villa's door.
Then he glanced at the dozen or so zombies gathered at their gate, walked over with a crowbar and started to clean them up.
The people in the nearby villas were all watching what was happening here. Seeing him killing zombies, some brave people ran into the villa he had just raided, wanting to see if they could get anything left.
But when I went in, I found that the villa was empty. Except for the large sofa and some immovable furniture, everything else was empty!
He was sure that someone lived in this villa. He had greeted this family when the apocalypse came and remembered that they drove back.
He ran to the garage and saw that the car was gone. He was stunned. He realized that Tao Rui must be a superpower, just like the superpowers that had appeared in the villa area before. He realized that Tao Rui had already killed the dozen zombies, cleared the way out, and returned to the house.
He ran home excitedly and told his family, "He is a superpower. Only a superpower can take us away. We didn't go with him last time, so we can't miss it this time."
"But he said he was going to the county town to rescue someone. He had two women and a child with him, and it looked unsafe."
"Let's follow him for a while. When we reach a place with food or encounter another group, we can split up. Otherwise, we'll have nothing to eat if we stay here."
Not only were they discussing this, but others were also discussing it. Those who stayed here were all timid people who didn't dare to go out and fight zombies. If they didn't follow the powerful zombies, they would have no chance and would starve to death.
Those who decided to follow began packing their bags and checking the car, while Tao Rui took a shower and made some hand-pulled pancakes.
These were all nearly spoiled at the supermarket, but now they're fresh again. The lettuce is vibrant green, like it was just picked. Pancakes are a real relief, so after a few of us had the pancakes and some porridge, we weren't hungry all morning.
Tao Rui asked Ji Yingying and Xia Lin to help him make a lot of hand-pulled pancakes, porridge, meat and vegetable dishes, steamed frozen milk-flavored steamed buns, made egg soup, and other dishes. He also boiled a lot of water and filled various containers. He even cooked several pots of instant noodles.
Tao Rui put all of these in the anti-Xiong'an basement.
This way you can take out whatever you want to eat and eat it just like when you put it in. It is very convenient when you are outdoors.
The three of them exclaimed in amazement when they found out what he was doing. Liang Yurou also had spatial abilities, but they had never heard of hers being able to preserve fresh food. Tao Rui's space was the same as what he put in it and what he took out. It was amazing!
However, this way their chances of survival are greater, and at least they no longer have to worry about food spoiling.
After a good meal and thorough preparation, everyone was in a good mood. Tao Rui planned a route, and they set off in the car.
After they drove out, the gates of several villas opened and vehicles drove out, following them not far behind.
Zhou Yangyang looked back and was a little nervous. "Uncle, they are following us. What should we do?"
Tao Rui found a bag of snacks for him and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid. We only have a few cartons of milk in the car. Even if they come around, there's nothing to steal."
Zhou Yangyang thought about it and realized that it made sense. No one else could snatch the things in the space. He handed the cartons of milk to Tao Rui and said, "Uncle, put this away too. It's safe."
"Okay. Listen to Yangyang. Yangyang is really thoughtful." Tao Rui smiled and put the milk into the space. Zhou Yangyang, who was praised, ate snacks happily, and did not forget to observe the surroundings to help the adults be alert.
Tao Rui glanced in the rearview mirror. The nearest car behind him was ten meters away. He had deliberately gone out to kill those dozen zombies alone that morning, to scare them and stop them from having any more tricks up their sleeves.
If they wanted to join him, they could, but he wouldn't team up with anyone right now. He needed to focus on training and becoming stronger, first gathering a few mission targets before anything else. The mission targets were all reliable, so there was no need to worry too much. But rashly adding strangers would be courting death. New members would only be added after the team was strong enough.
Tao Rui and Ji Yingying took turns driving and drove to a gas station. The cars behind them hurriedly accelerated and rushed to the door of the convenience store.
Tao Rui didn't go over. He drove the car to the gas station and asked, "Yingying, is there anything you want?"
Ji Yingying shook her head and looked back. Xia Lin and Zhou Yangyang also shook their heads. Xia Lin looked outside warily and said, "We'd better fill up the tank and leave quickly. There are a lot of zombies here, and those people are going in to loot. We shouldn't stay for long."
Tao Rui nodded and got out of the car, "That's right, we'll make a quick decision."
Tao Rui asked Ji Yingying to fill up the car, then waved to release the SUV and RV from the space, asking Xia Lin to refuel. After he cleared out the three nearby zombies, he went to find various empty barrels and containers to fill with gasoline.
Someone in the convenience store saw it and patted the person next to him, saying, "Look, he really has superpowers, spatial superpowers!"
The person next to him took a look and said anxiously, "Don't worry about him, be careful of the zombies! Hurry up and pack your things, let's get back to the car."
There were more than 20 zombies in the convenience store, but they had no choice. They had no food and had to come in to rob. They could only fight zombies and get food at the same time, but this was actually a normal life in the apocalypse. They just came out many days later than others to face it.
Tao Rui filled all the containers he could find with gasoline, then packed up the SUV and RV, and asked Ji Yingying and Xia Lin to get in and leave.
When they left, those people were still looting things in the convenience store.
After refueling, Tao Rui continued driving without stopping.
The original owner's hometown is not far from the city, but it takes seven or eight hours to drive there. If everything goes well, it will be dark by the time you get there, so you can't waste time.
Unfortunately, after getting on the highway, Tao Rui found that the highway was full of cars and there were many zombies wandering around.
He parked the car and looked around. "We can't risk running over there. We can only take the small road. There are fewer zombies on the small road, but it will take a little longer."
Safety was the most important thing now. Ji Yingying and Xia Lin both agreed to take the side road. Tao Rui quickly reversed and drove down.
Ji Yingying glanced at the highway, and once again thanked Tao Rui for having the space. She sighed, "If we hadn't just randomly looted a bunch of stuff, we wouldn't be short of anything for now. Seeing so many cars, I really want to go and search. This place hasn't been searched before, so there must be a lot of supplies."
Xia Lin also breathed a sigh of relief. "Yes, we're so lucky. If Doctor Tao had activated some other superpower, we wouldn't be so relaxed. Supplies are the most important thing. As long as we have enough, running faster is much safer."
Zhou Yangyang leaned forward on the seat and said seriously, "Thank you, uncle, for taking me and my mom with you. You are really the best person."
The adults all laughed. Tao Rui said, "Don't give uncle the good guy card. Once I find your grandparents, I'll find a way to train you. You need training too, even if you're a child. Just don't complain when the time comes."
Zhou Yangyang immediately straightened her chest and said, "Uncle, don't worry. I'm great at physical education. I also play football, basketball, and horseback riding. Just train me. I won't be a burden!"
The word "burden" was something the child had often heard in the small supermarket before, and he had already memorized it.
Tao Rui smiled and said, "You're not a burden. As long as you work hard to grow up, you will be a brave man and you will be able to protect your mother when the time comes."
"Yes!" Zhou Yangyang was very ambitious. She held her mother's hand tightly, eager to be trained by Tao Rui.
When they saw zombies on the road, they drove around them quickly. When they encountered a fallen tree blocking the road, Tao Rui asked them to get out of the car, put the car into the space, and walk for a while. When they were able to drive, they took the car out and drove it.
When we were hungry, we each had a hand-pulled pancake and a bowl of soup, and we had lunch without even stopping the car.
Ji Yingying didn't know how many times she was glad that Tao Rui had space.
Because the system was constantly helping to scan the surroundings, Tao Rui had what was essentially a real-time map. He even knew where the zombies were in advance, and the journey was very smooth.
He couldn't hide his incompetence for the time being, because the two old men were still waiting for him to come over. Although the original script said that the two old men survived for a while and even waited until the rescue army arrived half a month later.
But being alive is living, and how much suffering one will endure is not certain.
So Tao Rui had to get there smoothly and as quickly as possible. If it wasn't too inconvenient to travel after dark, he wouldn't even rest in the villa at night.
When it was almost dark, Tao Rui finally arrived in S County!
Once they entered the county town, things got much better. It wasn't a big town, and traffic wasn't congested. Even if some vehicles blocked the road, they could use the space to load and then drive around. They didn't collect any supplies along the way, and they didn't stop when they saw zombies or people, so they wasted almost no time, moving at lightning speed.
It was dark at seven o'clock. Tao Rui drove quickly with the headlights on. At seven twenty, he finally arrived at the community where his grandparents lived!
"Get out of the car quickly and follow me." Tao Rui asked them to wear thick hooded raincoats, rain boots, gloves, masks and glasses, so that even if they accidentally bumped into zombies, they would not be injured immediately and he would have time to save people.
There was no light in the community, it seemed that there was a power outage.
There was no candlelight. Even if the zombies didn't go up to the floor just because there was light, we still had to be on guard against bad guys who would rob anyone who saw light.
So the community was completely dark, and we could only see around us by the moonlight, which made people feel very uneasy.
Tao Rui had a systematic map that could detect zombies and other people, so he cautiously asked the three of them to follow behind him, and led them to find a way as quickly and quietly as possible.
When they encountered a few zombies on the road, Tao Rui patted Ji Yingying's arm to signal her to stop, then quickly stepped forward to kill the zombies, and then asked them to go together.
It was a very small community and they walked for half an hour. Fortunately, they finally entered the corridor safely.
The elevator in the building has stopped working. My grandparents live on the sixth floor.
Tao Rui went up first and killed a few zombies. He also closed the doors of the stairs on each floor to prevent more zombies from wandering over.
After finally reaching the sixth floor, Tao Rui stared at the map and knocked on the door quickly.
