Lin Yan felt the bones of each child, examining their aptitude. In truth, anyone who could survive in this apocalypse had a relatively good physical condition.
Lin Yan taught them a basic cultivation method as if she were in a class, then had them copy and memorize it before telling them to go to sleep.
"Everyone needs to get up early tomorrow morning!" After reminding them, Lin Yan walked out of the living room that had been tidied up.
Once outside, Lin Yan no longer concerned herself with the children. She went straight out the door.
Lin Yan rummaged through her system inventory. She recalled having studied Corpse Dissolving Powder from a martial arts world in the past, and wondered if she had stored it in her system inventory.
She still found a few bottles in a corner of the backpack. Lin Yan used her own powers to form fine chains, piling up the zombie corpses outside the fence, then poured an entire bottle of Corpse Dissolving Powder onto them.
Watching the pile of corpses completely dissolve into corpse water with her own eyes, Lin Yan frowned. She then fetched water from the river to wash the area clean.
For now, she could only manage this area. Once her own people's ability levels increased, they could use other methods to deal with the corpses.
After dealing with the area, Lin Yan jumped to the floor above to observe the zombies at night.
Lin Yan was very curious about these so-called zombies, who had lost all thought and were left with only the instinct of appetite. She discovered that they seemed more agile at night, and the zombie corpses she had killed had all disappeared.
They hadn't exactly disappeared; they had become more fragmented pieces, likely eaten by other zombies. Cannibalism, it seemed they had truly become walking dead, devoid of soul or consciousness.
The next morning, the children were already awake. The older girls helped prepare breakfast. The wife from the family that had arrived yesterday also got up early to help cook, while the husband helped the children move some heavy items.
As soon as Lin Yan woke up, she saw the scene. Everyone was busy with their own tasks, and even the youngest children were not idle.
After breakfast, Lin Yan began teaching them basic skills. Even the couple did not lag behind.
When they were all practicing with some semblance of proficiency, Lin Yan called the husband out.
"Brother Wang, are you familiar with the area around this town?"
"I've lived here for over thirty years, so I'm quite familiar with it. What do you need?"
"This residential area is quite large, and these linked villas are very suitable as an initial base. Therefore, I want to bring in all the other survivors in this town.
Brother Wang, could you show me the way, or perhaps accompany me in the car as Xiao Cheng did yesterday to pick people up?"
Lin Yan knew that this man who was willing to return with her would definitely be braver than others. Since he was willing to leave with her, he would likely be willing to go with her again.
"May I ask why you are so intent on bringing them here?" Brother Wang looked at Lin Yan earnestly, seeking to understand her intentions.
"Because I have the ability, I want to help more people. This world might be the apocalypse they speak of.
In this kind of world, everyone is striving to survive. I won't say any high-sounding words. In such a world, fighting alone is not feasible. Therefore, I want to gather more people, unite, and face this apocalypse together."
"You are right," Brother Wang pondered for a moment. "It's not very safe with just us and these children. We do indeed need to find more people. It will be safer if we all live together."
"Then are you willing to go with me, Brother Wang? I can guarantee your safety."
"If you, little sister, dare to go, why would I shrink back? Although I'm not as capable as you, I'm not so cowardly as to not dare to step out the door."
Lin Yan looked at Brother Wang like this and felt greatly relieved. As long as these people were willing to go out, once their combat strength improved, they could quickly begin clearing out this town.
At this moment, the female lead's convoy was also having breakfast. However, unlike the lively scene here, the atmosphere was very somber.
The people huddled together, afraid to speak, were mostly those Lin Yan had rescued. When Lin Yan was deliberately pushed out of the car by them, they dared not say anything.
After all, several of these people had awakened abilities, especially the woman in charge.
She had awakened space abilities, and all the food and water for their entire team were in her space. This meant she controlled their very lives.
They had no abilities and no resources, so they had no say in this team. However, they were not entirely without conscience. If Lin Yan had not insisted on taking them along, these people would not have brought them.
Now that Lin Yan had also been kicked out of the car, they probably wouldn't last long in this team either.
The gazes directed at them grew more and more dissatisfied, especially during meal times. They had no choice but to cling to their children, for fear that they would be abandoned next.
Among this group, a small child looked at these people with hatred.
It was they who had pushed sister. She had personally seen her sister being pushed towards that terrifying monster.
But she was too young to help her sister. She desperately wanted to help her sister, but she was too scared and couldn't react at that moment.
By the time she wanted to save her sister, the car had already driven away. For the past two days, they had ignored her, and even neglected to give her any food, as if she didn't exist.
But didn't she not exist? The food she ate was given to her by her sister.
However, she hadn't lacked food these past two days, because she discovered that she, like that bad person, seemed to have a special space.
She took advantage of the fact that no one noticed her, a child, and collected some food. She was small and didn't eat much, so they hadn't discovered her.
She desperately wanted to go back to find her sister. She had memorized the way back herself. She didn't believe her sister would die so easily. How could such a kind person die so early? These people who had deliberately harmed her sister were still alive, so how could her sister have died?
However, before going to find her sister, she would make these people pay a price.
As expected, when they set off again, those people overlooked this child, or rather, they simply couldn't remember this child.
This was a child Lin Yan had brought back, and she had always taken care of her. Now that Lin Yan was dead, they had even less reason to concern themselves with the child.
Although the child was quite cute, she was too gloomy, and she ignored everyone except Lin Yan. Such an unlikable child, they didn't want to keep her around.
She always looked at them with a sinister gaze, and who knew if she would do anything bad.
Even though she was just a child, who could guarantee her safety? It was better not to bring her!
