Chapter 1 What is Going on Out There

Li Shu: "What exactly is going on outside? I saw many people going crazy upstairs, biting anyone they see, with blood all over the place."

"Could it be some new type of rabies?"

After placing Mengmeng on the sofa, Lin En looked at Uncle Li and Aunt Li sitting opposite him. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Uncle Li, Aunt Li, have you ever watched any doomsday disaster movies, like zombie movies?"

Li Shu: "Yeah, I used to watch some with Mengmeng. This kid likes watching those kinds of movies; she doesn't like cartoons as much."

Somewhat surprised, Lin En looked at Mengmeng. He hadn't expected her interests to be so peculiar. But this would make it easier to explain things.

Looking at Uncle Li and Aunt Li staring at him, Lin En slowly said, "Since you've both seen them, it'll be much easier to explain."

"The current situation is similar to those doomsday movies. Those crazy people outside are like zombies; they bite anyone they see, and those bitten will be assimilated."

"And they're very fast, much faster than normal people, and their strength is also great. Don't treat them like regular zombies."

"As for their weakness, it's the same as zombies: a headshot will do the trick."

After hearing Lin En's words, Uncle Li and Aunt Li found it hard to believe, but thinking about those crazy people outside, they really did resemble those zombies.

Li Shu: "I never thought something from a movie would actually happen in real life. It's a bit too crazy. Lin En, why don't you stay here for now? Your Uncle Li just stocked up on goods yesterday. If it's just the few of us eating, it shouldn't be a problem for a year or two."

Lin En nodded; that was what he had come for.

......

Time flew by, and Lin En had been staying at Mengmeng's house for ten days.

Ten days had passed, and the outside world had undergone earth-shattering changes. Plants grew rapidly, and animals became larger and more ferocious, even eating people.

Uncle Li and Aunt Li were afraid of water shortages, so they had spent the last ten days filling everything in the house that could hold water, fearing that the water would be cut off at any moment.

Lin En was now constantly watching Mengmeng because the energy within her body had begun to concentrate in her abdomen. Did it look like she was about to develop a special ability?

Sure enough, as the energy became more and more condensed, Lin En discovered that Mengmeng's physique was gradually strengthening, and the energy was actually forming a small crystal in her abdomen? As soon as the crystal appeared, the energy immediately surged into it.

In the following time, Lin En sat on the sofa watching Mengmeng excitedly play with her new ability. It was actually lightning-based.

Next, with Lin En secretly giving them some spirit fruits, Uncle Li and Aunt Li also awakened their special abilities, Uncle Li's being fire-based and Aunt Li's being water-based, so they wouldn't have to worry about running out of water or electricity.

So eating the corresponding spirit fruit is useful, Lin En thought silently as he watched the two people using their abilities with curiosity.

Uncle Li, who was playing with a small fireball, suddenly noticed Lin En looking at him. He retracted the small fireball and said to Lin En, "Lin En, don't be discouraged; you'll awaken your ability in a few days."

Lin En looked at Uncle Li, who had suddenly come to comfort him, with a puzzled expression. After hearing Uncle Li's words, he was speechless. I wasn't even looking at your ability.

Just as he was about to say something, a loud noise suddenly came from outside, and then a broadcast sounded.

[A safe zone will be built here. All survivors are requested to actively cooperate...]

Lin En came to the rooftop and looked at the army not far away. It seemed that the country had finally recovered.

"Uncle Li, a safe zone is going to be built here. What do you think?"

Lin En asked Uncle Li, who was beside him, as he watched the soldiers begin to clear out the mutated beings.

Li Shu: "What do I think? What's there to think? Isn't it good that they're building a safe zone here? I wish it could be built right away."

"That's true."

In the following time, Lin En saw the army rationally using various special abilities to quickly build a wall. Although it was only a few meters high, it was already remarkable, especially since the wall was quite long.

The mutated beings within the base were also cleared out one by one.

What Lin En didn't expect was that Uncle Li actually took out a large pile of steamed buns to treat the soldiers when the army cleared the area to their doorstep.

Watching Uncle Li and his wife use their water-based ability to add water and their fire-based ability to light the fire, they started steaming buns at the door.

The hot steamed buns attracted the commander, who looked at the clean and tidy couple and saw how skilled they were at using their abilities. It would be unreasonable not to recruit them.

Then, Lin En watched helplessly as Uncle Li, who had never met an official in his life, excitedly agreed to everything in front of the commander.

Mengmeng: "Brother, quickly put me down."

Just as he put Mengmeng down, Lin En watched with a headache as Mengmeng ran to the commander and skillfully used her lightning-based ability, making him squat down and whisper to her under the commander's somewhat shocked gaze.

Mengmeng probably doesn't know that I can hear everything clearly, does she? This little girl actually wants to be a Valkyrie? What kind of books and movies has she been watching?

The most ridiculous thing was that the commander actually agreed? Although it was to wait until Mengmeng was an adult, so that Mengmeng could grow up well and become a Valkyrie when she grew up. Is this a scam?

Watching Mengmeng come over, jumping and skipping with joy, Lin En helplessly said, "As long as you're happy."

......

Soon, more than a month passed, and Lin En was still staying at Mengmeng's house. Uncle Li and his wife were already close confidants of the commander, now following him around every day, only returning late at night.

Lin En, who was lazing around, lay on the sofa in a daze, while Mengmeng was on the other sofa watching a movie on a tablet, yes, a movie about Valkyries.

She was getting better and better at using her lightning-based ability, and she could even charge the tablet with it.

Lin En silently counted down. Five more days, five more days until he could go back. If he stayed any longer, he would become useless. After all, the strongest existence here was only at the fourth level, and he had even raised them.

Looking at Mengmeng, who would have thought that this little girl was the strongest existence?

Lin En opened his character panel and took a look, discovering that the magic he was cultivating from the Natural Saint Codex was not even displayed on the panel. He had even learned forbidden techniques, although he couldn't use his energy now.

"Ooh!"

Lin En looked at Mengmeng, who was on his stomach, and asked helplessly, "Why did you suddenly jump on my stomach, Mengmeng?"

Mengmeng: "Brother, don't be lazy. I'm so bored. Let's go find Mom and Dad, okay?"

"Uncle Li and Aunt Li are both working right now. Let's not go and bother them, okay?"

Lin En said, looking at Mengmeng.

Mengmeng suddenly stood up and started jumping up and down, much to Lin En's horror.

Wuhu, my stomach!

Mengmeng jumped and shouted, "Brother, are you taking me now?"

Lin En, who was enjoying a foot massage, shouted, "I~~~ won't."

With my current physique, there's no way Mengmeng's little feet could hurt me.
