Lin Xi was also quite helpless about this.
What she needs now is not protection, but to become stronger.
She had spoken to the waiter several times, but it was never as effective as a single glance from the older sister.
However, perhaps because they had lived with Lin Xi for so long, they used to just lie down on the ground in a shed when they were tired, but now they followed Lin Xi to pick locks and sleep in other people's beds.
During this period, Xiao Er was successfully tamed into a hardworking and dutiful corpse who took care of all the housework.
However, the house was unusually clean this time, and Lin Xi felt that something was not right.
"How about we go to another place? It feels like someone lives here."
The waiter was immediately captivated by a room decorated in a lovely pink hue.
A pretty teddy bear sat on the bedside table. Lin Xi noticed his gaze and realized something was wrong, immediately trying to stop him, "Xiao Er, don't..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Er had already buried his entire head inside the teddy bear doll.
He rubbed against her happily, then picked up the teddy bear and prepared to retreat with Lin Xi.
And just like that, the original owners returned.
A woman was holding the hand of a pink baby, who looked about seven or eight years old.
The woman immediately became alert. "Who are you? What do you want?"
The little girl, with her big, round eyes, burst into tears when she saw what her younger brother was holding.
"Mommy, my baby!"
The three stood there awkwardly, while the waiter tightened his grip on the doll, "Hooray hooray hooray~"
Lin Xi covered her face. "You're stealing other people's things, why are you in such a hurry?"
"I'm sorry, we were just passing through and wanted to find a room to rest. We were just about to leave when we found that someone was staying here," Lin Xi explained.
"Please return the doll to my daughter and leave immediately," the woman threatened, her face pale but still managing to maintain her composure.
The eldest sister merely frowned upon hearing this.
However, she can now completely control her emotions, making her arguably the zombie closest to a human.
"Waiter," Lin Xi reminded him.
But Xiao Er was determined not to let go.
Seeing his dawdling, Lin Xi couldn't help but grit her teeth, "You're a man! A man! What are you playing with, dolls?"
Xiao Er blinked, but stubbornly hid the doll behind his back.
Even the eldest sister's threats were no longer effective.
"What do you mean? You think you can break into homes and rob people just because there's a zombie outbreak and no laws?"
Lin Xi didn't like hearing such words.
While it's true that they were at fault first, in this day and age, there are abandoned buildings everywhere. How can it be considered burglary if they accidentally broke into her home without knowing the situation?
However, Lin Xi wilted as soon as she saw Xiao Er.
It really does look like a robbery, and the perpetrator is a child.
Lin Xi couldn't stand it anymore and snatched the doll from his arms, returning it to the mother.
"I'm so sorry, my friend suffered a trauma after the apocalypse. This place is a bit different from ordinary people's places."
What she said wasn't wrong; Xiao Er's brain had been invaded by the zombie virus, making him indeed different from ordinary people.
However, in that mother's ears, it naturally took on a different meaning.
The woman, who had been somewhat angry, suddenly softened and looked at the waiter with pity.
"I'm really sorry, but I can't give this doll to you. It's the last gift that Yanyan's father left for her, and it means a lot to us."
The waiter was a little puzzled. Why was this person looking at him like that?
However, he was still upset and looked rather unhappy.
The woman turned her head away. "You should leave. I'm just a weak woman with a baby, barely making a living in this apocalypse. I really can't distinguish between good and bad people. I'm sorry we can't take you in."
Lin Xi nodded; she was right.
Human nature is the most complex thing in the world.
It can't withstand a gamble.
Because the price is often life.
Because of this incident, Xiao Er ignored his older sister and Lin Xi for a whole day and night.
The older sister thought he was pretentious and deserved a beating.
So that very night, he beat him up, and Lin Xi couldn't stop him.
The waiter felt even more aggrieved.
Although she didn't know why he was so obsessed with dolls, Lin Xi had the materials she had on her and could try to make one herself.
Seeing Lin Xi holding needles, thread, cloth, and cotton, Xiao Er was very curious, but remembering that he was still angry, he turned his back angrily.
He would only steal a glance or two when Lin Xi wasn't looking.
After finishing, Lin Xi held it up and looked at it.
Hiss~
How should I put it?
It's really ugly.
Is it something you can't present to others?
With that in mind, she decided to destroy the evidence.
Never mind, I'll just grab one from the supermarket when I see it.
But before she could react, her hand was empty.
The young man held the doll, which could barely be identified as having limbs and a head, and couldn't put it down.
"Roar roar roar~"
Fine, I'll forgive you since you put so much effort into making this doll for me!
It felt like pink heart-shaped bubbles were practically popping out of his eyes.
Lin Xi chuckled.
"I'm glad you like it."
"What an ugly thing is this?"
The eldest sister went ahead to scout the route, and when she came back, she saw the second brother running around happily with an ugly thing in his arms.
Lin Xi: ...
Why did she suddenly feel a little guilty?
However, you can't really blame the older sister. After all, she originally wanted to make an adorable little bear, but the finished product looked like a dog that had mutated due to nuclear radiation.
But she really liked Xiao Er's attitude; he was completely oblivious to everything and immersed in happiness!
This crisis in the friendship was thus resolved.
The waiter worked even harder.
"There's something over there!"
The eldest sister suddenly looked towards a room.
It was a large courtyard, surrounded by a high cement wall.
We've reached the outskirts, and there's a high chance that there are superhumans attacking zombies here. But if the older sister sees someone, she usually just says "there's someone." So what she's saying means there are zombies in that direction.
The waiter frowned; he sensed it too.
Lin Xi also heard faint and disordered sounds. Judging from these sounds, there were more than a dozen or twenty zombies inside.
"Is someone imitating your previous behavior, gathering zombies here?" Lin Xi looked at her older sister.
However, there probably aren't as many zombies this time as in the building where my older sister was last time.
The waiter was instantly excited.
So much food!
Lin Xi was also very excited. The large group of zombies was an excellent opportunity for her to practice her skills!
She didn't know if she was capable of fighting a high-level zombie at her current level. In the past, she wouldn't have dared to do so, but with her older sister backing her up today, her thoughts suddenly became arrogant.
The group worked together seamlessly, focusing all their efforts on that one room.
