"With your words, I know I haven't misjudged you! Rest for now, and I'll arrange a room and daily necessities for you later."
"Okay, I'll clean up the dishes and then rest. I won't bother you, sister."
Chang Kai is more sensible than his peers.
An Nuan doesn't want to force him to change his attitude towards life.
She plopped onto the sofa and pulled a thin blanket over herself to sleep.
An Nuan had been sleeping in the living room with Luoluo for a while, and she instinctively treated the large sofa as her bed.
Luoluo quickly tucked her legs into the blanket.
"Xiao Nuan grew up abroad and is a bit unrestrained. Xiao Tong, please don't mind."
"I didn't see anything."
The pink little strawberries and everything else, he hadn't seen any of it.
After the heavy rain stopped, it didn't give anyone a break. The high temperatures and widespread power outages caused immense suffering.
Many people risked their lives, taking their families to the mountains, hoping to find a cooler place to stay for a while.
Some people also started to frantically loot for supplies.
Even though directives to distribute supplies had been received by various communities since the morning.
Some people still refused to comply with the management, sneaking out to smash and grab, dragging all usable items back to their homes.
The heavy rain had just stopped, and people weren't thinking about rebuilding or re-establishing order, but about their own interests.
The outside world was in chaos, but it was pleasant in the small villa.
With a constant temperature of 26 degrees and filtered fresh air, it was like a paradise.
When An Nuan opened her eyes, it was already past four in the afternoon.
"Awake?"
Luoluo was playing LEGO with Chang Kai Tong.
In just a few hours, he had completed a street scene that would take an ordinary person two months to build.
As expected of an eighth-tier expert!
An Nuan marveled once again at the difference in intelligence.
An Nuan habitually turned on the TV, which was broadcasting news about rescue efforts from various locations.
One news report was about the rescue of high school students from Seattle High School.
The teachers and students were in very poor spirits. Later, there were also deaths, all caused by infighting.
However, quite a few people, with idle hands, had recorded An Nuan fighting zombies.
Chang Kai Tong's face was also recorded.
But the mutated creature in the lake was not broadcast on the news.
It was likely suppressed to avoid causing panic.
"Sister, have I implicated you?"
"No, they're going to be wiped out sooner or later anyway, so why should I worry about them?"
An Nuan had anticipated being filmed and posted online when she wore her mask.
People were curious, so they paid special attention.
But after a while, with more zombies and the network collapsing, no one would find it curious anymore.
An Nuan chuckled as she drank sparkling water, "Xiao Tong, if someone were to kill me, what would you do? A person, not a zombie."
"Then I'd kill them!"
"So resolute?"
"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."
Luoluo ruffled his hair roughly.
"How old are you, yet you're so mature? You make me look exceptionally uncool!"
An Nuan watched the two of them bicker, feeling a rare sense of ease and happiness.
An Nuan suddenly frowned.
"Did you hear that sound?"
"What? Xiao Nuan, are you hallucinating?"
"No, a crunching sound, can't you hear it?"
An Nuan listened for a while, then suddenly remembered something, leaped up from the sofa, and rushed to the bathroom.
"My crystals!"
Juanzi and Daizi were perched on her pants.
They were prying crystals out of her pocket and were happily gnawing on a red one and a yellow one.
Daizi licked its mouth and nose and gave An Nuan a big smile.
An Nuan snatched the crystals and counted them.
"You two ate four? Is my canned food not tasty anymore, or is the meat paste not fragrant? Spit them out! Spit them out quickly!"
An Nuan pried open Juanzi's mouth, and a strange smell wafted out.
It wasn't unpleasant, but it certainly wasn't fragrant.
Daizi nudged An Nuan's hand from the side, indicating it wanted more.
An Nuan was on the verge of tears.
It wasn't because she was threatened to hand over crystals on time.
It was because humans had only a superficial understanding of the crystals' abilities.
In her six years in her previous life, she had only consumed two crystals and had always been a second-order ability user.
The two cats had consumed four crystals this morning. Would they also become second-order mutated creatures?
"You two little rascals, if you steal food again, I'll spank you and won't take you out!"
Meow meow~~
The two little ones rubbed against her legs.
An Nuan was full of anger. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"I'm punishing you two 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 another, yawned lazily, snuggled together, rolled over to expose their bellies, and seemed quite happy.
Ding!
The screen lit up on its own.
As usual, a line of text appeared.
[Congratulations on obtaining two mutated pets. The crystals you obtained yesterday can be disposed of as you wish.]
"I can dispose of them as I wish? I worked so hard to fight monsters and collect crystals for you, only to get this sentence? If you don't explain clearly, no one lives!"
[Are you sure?]
An Nuan glared at the screen, puffing up with anger.
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, like a puppy's when she glared.
A playful smile played on the man's lips.
He tapped the tabletop lightly with his long fingers.
He typed a line of text on the keyboard.
[You're so cute, I want to bite you.]
"Thank you, but I absolutely do not want to be bitten!"
[Apologies, I misspoke. As compensation, here's a message for you.]
[At four in the morning, a large number of zombies will appear at Anxin Building.]
An Nuan frowned slightly.
Anxin Building was her former company.
It was a company founded by her parents, and it was now owned by An Dong.
Luoluo immediately checked the current situation of Anxin Building.
When the heavy rain began, most employees were working overtime on the company's latest merger case, even the cafeteria and logistics staff were working night shifts.
As of now, the electronic locks of Anxin Building had not been opened, and no one had come out.
Sealed spaces, infected individuals, panicked and selfish crowds.
A playground perfect for zombies, and also suitable for breeding them.
"Are An Dong and An Tianxin inside?"
[Yes.]
"Alright, then I'll go."
"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 laughed, "I want to rescue them, let them suffer a bit in the apocalypse first, and then witness their tragic deaths in the apocalypse!"
"Xiao Nuan, is that really a good idea?"
"An Dong owes me, and only his life can repay it."
[That's right. After all, he faked the car accident that killed your parents. Even your grandmother died from the supplements he gave her for years.]
"What did you say?"
