"With your words, sister knows she hasn't misjudged you! Rest for now, I'll arrange a room and supplies for you later."
"Okay, I'll clean up the dishes and rest. I won't bother you, sister."
Chang Kai is more sensible than peers his age.
An Nuan doesn't want to force him to change his attitude towards life.
She flopped onto the sofa, pulled a thin blanket over herself, and slept.
An Nuan had been sleeping in the living room with Luo Luo during this time, and instinctively treated the large sofa as her bed.
Luo Luo quickly tucked her legs into the blanket.
"Xiao Nuan grew up abroad, she's a bit unrestrained. Xiao Tong, please don't mind."
"I didn't see anything."
Pink little strawberries and the like, he saw none of it.
After the downpour stopped, it offered no respite. The high temperatures and widespread power outages caused immense suffering.
Many people ventured into the mountains with their families, hoping to find cooler places to stay for a while.
Others began to frantically hoard supplies.
Although by morning, communities had received instructions to distribute supplies.
Some people still defied orders, sneaking out to smash and loot, dragging everything usable back to their homes.
The heavy rain had barely subsided, yet people were not thinking of rebuilding or restoring order, but of their own interests.
The outside world was in chaos, but the small villa was comfortable.
With a constant temperature of 26 degrees and filtered fresh air, it was like a paradise.
An Nuan opened her eyes to find it was already past four in the afternoon.
"Awake?"
Luo Luo was playing with Chang Kai, building LEGOs.
In just a few hours, he had completed a cityscape that would take an ordinary person two months.
Truly an eighth-tier god!
An Nuan once again marveled at the difference in intellect.
An Nuan habitually turned on the television, which was broadcasting news of rescue efforts from various places.
One news report was about the rescue of high school students from Seattle High.
The teachers and students were in poor spirits. Later, deaths occurred, all caused by internal conflict.
However, many people had the audacity to record An Nuan killing zombies.
Chang Kai's face was also captured.
But the mutated creatures in the lake were not shown on the news.
Presumably, they suppressed the news to avoid causing panic.
"Sister, have I implicated you?"
"No, they're going to be finished sooner or later anyway. Why should I worry about them?"
An Nuan had anticipated being filmed and posted online when she wore the mask.
People were curious and paid extra attention.
But in a while, with more zombies and the network collapsing, no one would find it novel.
An Nuan drank her sparkling water and chuckled, "Xiao Tong, if someone were to kill me, what would you do? A person, not a zombie."
"Then I'll kill him!"
"So decisively?"
"Because you two are good to me, so whoever bullies you, I'll bully them. Whoever threatens you, I'll kill them. It's only fair."
Luo Luo ruffled his hair roughly.
"How old are you, yet you're so mature? You make me look exceptionally low!"
Watching the two bicker, An Nuan felt a rare sense of lightness and joy.
An Nuan suddenly frowned.
"Did you hear something?"
"Hear what? Xiao Nuan, are you hallucinating?"
"No, a 'kacha kacha' sound. Didn't you hear it?"
An Nuan listened for a moment, then suddenly remembered something. She sprang up from the sofa and rushed to the bathroom.
"My crystals!"
Juanzi and Daizi were clinging to her pants.
They had dug the crystals out of her pocket and were happily gnawing on a red one and a yellow one.
Daizi licked his mouth and nose, showing An Nuan a big smile.
An Nuan snatched the crystals and counted them.
"You two ate four? Is my canned food not tasty enough, or is the meat paste not fragrant? Spit it out! Spit it out quickly!"
An Nuan pried open Juanzi's mouth, and a strange smell wafted up.
It wasn't exactly unpleasant, but it was definitely not fragrant.
Daizi nudged An Nuan's hand from the side, signaling that he wanted more.
An Nuan was about to cry.
It wasn't because she was threatened and had to hand over crystals on time.
It was because humans understood the abilities of crystals very superficially.
In her previous life, she had consumed two crystals over six years and had always been a second-tier ability user.
The two cats had already swallowed four crystals that morning. Would they also become second-tier mutated creatures?
"You two little rascals, if you steal food again, I'll spank you and won't take you out anymore!"
Meow meow~~
The two little creatures rubbed against her legs.
An Nuan was fuming. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"I'll punish you both by not giving you canned food for a day and making you face the wall in your cat beds!"
The two cats jumped onto the cat tree one after the other, yawned lazily, snuggled together, flipped over to expose their bellies, and seemed quite happy.
Ding!
The screen lit up naturally.
As usual, a line of text appeared.
[Congratulations on obtaining two mutated pets. You can freely dispose of the crystals obtained yesterday.]
"I can dispose of them freely? I worked so hard to hunt monsters and collect crystals for you, only to get this sentence? If you don't explain clearly, no one is living!"
[Are you sure?]
An Nuan glared at the screen, her cheeks puffed out.
Of course, she wasn't sure!
She was just angry!
An Nuan huffed and sat cross-legged on the sofa, glaring at the screen.
It was as if she were glaring at the person behind the screen.
The man noticed.
Her eyes were so large and round, they looked like a puppy's when she glared.
The man's lips curved into a playful smile.
His long, slender fingers tapped the tabletop a few times.
He typed a line of text on the keyboard.
[You are so cute, I want to bite you.]
"Thank you, I have no intention of being bitten!"
[Apologies, I misspoke. As compensation, here is a message for you.]
[At four in the morning, a large number of zombies will appear at Anxin Building.]
An Nuan's brows furrowed slightly.
Anxin Building was her former group.
It was a company founded by her parents, now owned by An Dong.
Luo Luo immediately checked the current situation of Anxin Building.
When the heavy rain started, most employees were working overtime for the company's latest merger, even the cafeteria staff were on night shifts.
As of now, the electronic locks of Anxin Building had not opened, and no one had come out.
A sealed space, infected people, and a panicked, selfish crowd.
The perfect playground for zombies, and also ideal for breeding them.
"Are An Dong and An Tian Xin inside?"
[Yes]
"Good, then I'm going."
"Xiao Nuan, are you crazy? An entire building, who knows how many zombies there are! Besides, why would you go when An Dong and the others treated you like that?"
"It's precisely because they are inside that I must go!"
An Nuan smiled. "I want to save them, let them suffer a period of hardship in the apocalypse first, and then watch them die miserably in the apocalypse!"
"Xiao Nuan, is that really okay?"
"An Dong owes me things that can only be repaid with his life."
[That's right. After all, he faked the car accident that killed your parents, and even your grandmother died from the supplements he gave her over the years.]
"What did you say?"
