"Sister, Sui Sui can really protect you!"
After speaking, Lin Yan felt a surge of psychic power, and the next moment she found herself in a room.
The room was not large and was clearly a child's room. The bed, its decorations, and the other furniture all exuded childishness. It was evident that a loving parent had prepared this room for their child.
Lin Yan also saw a drawing on the wall signed with Sui Sui's name, but the characters for Sui Sui were too difficult to write, so pinyin was used instead.
"What is this?" Lin Yan was surprised. She had never known about such an ability before.
The system was equally bewildered. It couldn't imagine that someone's space could be like this.
"Sister, this is my bedroom. We can hide in here, and the monsters and bad guys outside won't be able to hurt us anymore," Sui Sui said happily.
"This is the food I found. Sister, we won't go hungry anymore!"
Sui Sui presented a treasure trove of food. It truly was a treasure, as food and water were the most precious commodities in this apocalypse.
When they were in the car, her sister always let her eat, only taking a little for herself. She could hear her sister's stomach growling.
Now, there was no need to worry. Sui Sui had found plenty of delicious food, and her sister would no longer go hungry.
"Thank you, Sui Sui, you're amazing!" Although shocked by Sui Sui's ability, Lin Yan was even more touched by the child's care and thoughtfulness.
Lin Yan hugged Sui Sui. Feeling her sister's warm embrace, Sui Sui felt all the fatigue and worry of the past few days disappear.
It felt so good to have finally found her sister!
"Sui Sui, how about I take you home? At my home, I've already found many older brothers and sisters who are bigger than you. We've formed a small base.
The base is called Taoyuan, and I think you'll like it there too. Come home with me, okay?"
"Okay, Sui Sui will go home with Sister!"
Everyone had become accustomed to Lin Yan going out and bringing back another child. After all, every time they went out, they brought back any survivors they encountered.
However, some of the children Lin Yan brought back were only about seven or eight years old, perhaps even younger.
Lin Yan arranged for Sui Sui to stay in her room and share it with her. This made many of the other children envious, but they also knew that this girl had known Lin Yan longer than they had.
Although jealous, seeing such a young girl, even younger than some of them, they could only accept the reality.
However, when they learned that this little girl had awakened her ability at such a young age, they were somewhat impressed.
A few days later, Sui Sui became very popular among the children. Some of them had awakened their abilities without even knowing what was happening; it seemed they just woke up with them after a night's sleep.
But Sui Sui was different. She had wanted it intensely, and it was that strong desire that granted her the ability.
So, they liked to pull Sui Sui aside to ask about her ability and then visit her bedroom. Everyone wanted an ability like Sui Sui's, finding it incredibly useful.
Sui Sui also liked these older brothers and sisters, but her favorite was still Lin Yan.
She knew they all liked Sister Lin Yan very much, so Sui Sui was willing to be friends with them.
However, Sui Sui had never told Lin Yan that she had broken the bad guys' car. Damaging other people's property was a bad thing for a child to do, and Sui Sui didn't want her sister to think she was a bad child, even though she had damaged the property of bad people.
Sui Sui wanted to try hard to be a good child that people liked, hoping to make her sister like her even more.
Sui Sui also liked this home that her sister spoke of. She felt that the people here were ten thousand times better than those people. And this was also Sui Sui's home, the home of Sui Sui and her sister!
Everything here was slowly getting on track. Everyone practiced martial arts and studied daily. When the rice fields nearby ripened, they even brought out the combine harvesters from the agricultural machinery station and harvested the rice.
They were short-handed, so they enlisted all the children to help with this harvest.
The men stood guard against the zombies nearby, the women operated the combine harvesters, and the older children drove electric tricycles to transport the harvested grain back.
"So much grain needs to be dried, otherwise it will sprout. But we don't have enough space to dry it!"
Even if they had space to dry it, they couldn't watch it. What if it got contaminated by zombies? How would they eat it?
"I remember there's a place in the neighboring town that processes rice. They have drying equipment," a middle-aged man said. He had sold rice there before and knew that they accepted rice directly without checking moisture content.
"But the power must be out there by now, and it's in another town. Isn't it too dangerous?" another person worried.
"It's not far from the border between our town and the next one. Besides, we can't just harvest the rice from our area. It's all food. We can't let the food in other places rot in the fields!"
"Old Wu is right. Let's harvest as much as we can. Rice seeds are hard to come by now. Next year, we won't even know how much we can plant, even if we want to. Let's harvest everything around here and store more food."
"Brother Wang is right. We should try to store as much as possible, and we have plenty of space to store it. It's always a good idea to store more grain," Lin Yan also said.
Hearing Lin Yan agree, no one objected.
In fact, it wasn't just about food. Lin Yan also wanted to bring back survivors from the neighboring town. She had this idea after things here had stabilized.
After all, the more people they had, the more they could accomplish, like this harvest. If they had more people, they could harvest even more grain.
Just as Lin Yan was preparing to expand her territory, the female protagonist finally reached a smaller base.
Along the way, the female protagonist, Wen Yi Tong, had suffered a lot. Especially when her car suddenly malfunctioned and crashed into a tree by the roadside. If she hadn't reacted quickly and used her abilities to open the car door and escape, she would have likely died there.
But strangely, out of the nearly ten cars in the convoy, only hers malfunctioned.
However, after she rescued the people inside, the car completely burned down. They didn't have water ability users and couldn't extinguish the fire, so they could only watch as the car burned completely, leaving only an outer shell.
Wen Yi Tong had really liked that car. She had fallen in love with it the moment she first saw it in Lin Yan's garage.
So, that car had always been her ride. It only contained her and the driver. She always sat in the back seat of that car, unwilling to even go into the RV behind it.
Instead, she would recline the seat and sleep in that car alone. But now, that car had malfunctioned and become an empty shell. This made her very angry.
But that wasn't the most infuriating thing. Not long after the car accident, another car had an accident.
