This sudden agreement surprised Song Qi and the others.
More than that, they were happy.
"Okay, thank you, Miss Xiao. Don't worry, we won't be a burden on the road! And, and we can all cook. Shan Shan's dad used to be a five-star hotel chef, so she cooks very well..."
Song Qi spared no effort in promoting his companions, for fear of being abandoned on the road by Zhuo Ran.
Finally, Zhuo Ran made a promise that as long as they didn't act foolishly on the road, she wouldn't abandon them.
There was also another reason.
Zhou Shan Shan was the female protagonist in Xue Jing Jing's novel. Xue Jing Jing transmigrated into her own book and took her protagonist's place.
These two women, one was the "mother of the Heavenly Dao," and the other was its "daughter." Originally, Xue Jing Jing was also Zhou Shan Shan's "mother," and the three of them could have gotten along well. However, Xue Jing Jing was a very stubborn and malicious woman.
In her heart, the characters in the book were all NPCs, not real. That's why she unhesitatingly sent Xiao Chong Yan to the operating table and watched him be dissected and studied.
Ordinary means could no longer awaken the humanity of such a person.
She had to let her taste the bitter fruit herself.
But the Heavenly Dao favored her, and Zhuo Ran didn't want to fight against the Heavenly Dao and make the world even worse. So, she thought it would be interesting to support Zhou Shan Shan. If the "mother" and "daughter" fought, which side would the Heavenly Dao favor?
She found the thought quite amusing.
No one knew about her malicious amusement when she agreed to help.
After witnessing her abilities, Song Qi and his group believed that the zombies would not break through the door. If Zhuo Ran wanted to kill them, they would be powerless to resist. They all tidied up and went to sleep with peace of mind.
The Xiao family had a total of three rooms. Father and Mother Xiao shared one, and Xiao Chong Yan and Zhuo Ran each had one. Now that Father and Mother Xiao were dead, Xiao Chong Yan and Zhuo Ran slept in the original owner's room, leaving two rooms for them to use.
Although it was a bit crowded, it was the best night's sleep they had since the apocalypse. They didn't have to worry about zombies suddenly appearing, nor about being robbed by others. They could sleep in beds and all fell asleep instantly.
That night, it rained red again, and the zombies outside made a ruckus as if they were celebrating. When everyone was asleep, they didn't notice. Zhuo Ran had a wisp of her divine sense watching, and she couldn't even rest in peace while sleeping.
If she weren't holding someone in her arms and didn't want to move, she would have already gone to kill all those zombies who were having a party in her yard.
Finally, it was dawn, and they were still persistently guarding outside, determined to get the crystal cores that Song Qi and the others had taken. Su Dan Novel Network.
Song Qi exclaimed, "They're too persistent. They've been guarding for a whole day. Aren't they tired?"
His companion rolled his eyes, "Have you ever seen a dead person who gets tired?"
They said walking corpses, they had no senses, and besides biting and eating people, they had no other hobbies. Oh, and they wanted crystal cores.
How could such things get tired?
Zhuo Ran, while packing the things she could take from the house, told them, "Stop talking, hurry up and eat, and then we'll set off."
She took everything usable from the house, including the gas stove and gas canisters. Most of the power systems had collapsed, so to cook, one had to chop wood or use gas. The former had its inconveniences, especially since the plants were also mutating.
Those that didn't mutate were already dying.
After packing the items in the kitchen, she went to the storage room. She saw the bicycle that the original owner had bought for weight loss, but it had been left to gather dust in the storage room for less than half a month, and she took that as well.
There were also tables, chairs, and benches. She only left the ones in the living room. In short, she took everything she could carry. Her spatial ring was large enough, and if not, she had her cave dwelling. It was impossible that it wouldn't fit.
When she was almost done packing, their breakfast was ready. Everyone happily ate their last hearty meal, and then they helped pack the usable items in the house.
When Zhuo Ran packed the original owner's room again, she looked at the soft and comfortable large bed, thought for a moment, and took it in as well.
Although she definitely wouldn't need it when living rough.
But what if?
Zhuo Ran put the supplies into her space in front of them, letting them know that she not only had water and fire abilities but also spatial abilities. They immediately admired her even more.
Clinging to this "golden thigh," they felt like they were the most dazzling guys and girls in the apocalypse.
With the previous two examples to set the tone, the spatial ability was accepted quite easily.
At eleven o'clock in the morning, they had all finished packing. There were fewer zombies outside. It was probably because of their all-night revelry last night, and now the sun was too strong, and they felt tired.
Besides the bags on their backs, all other supplies were placed in Zhuo Ran's space. Actually, the bags could also be put in, but Song Qi refused.
His reason was that he didn't want to attract too much attention.
But Zhuo Ran knew that Song Qi wanted to leave a way out for himself and his companions.
Zhuo Ran didn't point it out.
It was normal to be wary; they weren't fools.
