At the dead of night, someone actually knocked on the door? wΑp.kanshu伍.net
As the door opened, with a thud.
A figure stumbled in.
Zhang Chen casually glanced.
He surprisingly found that the grass on the lawn outside seemed to have grown taller again, already reaching past his ankles.
But in the morning, it had only reached his insteps.
In just one day, it had grown so tall!
Zhang Chen closed the door and looked at the person who came in.
It was Guan Xin!
Her entire body was drenched in sweat, her hair stuck to her face, her lips deathly pale, and her breathing weak.
She seemed to be muttering something incessantly.
Zhang Chen leaned in to listen.
He heard Guan Xin whisper: I... I'm not late... three... days... exactly...
It turned out this fellow was still worried about the three-day deadline.
Zhang Chen carried Guan Xin to the sofa.
He brewed a steaming cup of instant coffee, cooked a bowl of instant noodles, and placed a large piece of pan-fried steak on the coffee table.
"Eat something first and regain your strength!"
Zhang Chen sat aside and said.
"Mm... read some books, okay..."
Guan Xin nodded weakly.
Then, with trembling hands, she picked up the instant coffee and took a sip.
Instant coffee had a high sugar content, which could quickly replenish stamina.
Zhang Chen observed Guan Xin's storage ring.
The food and water inside had been completely consumed.
Everything else was daily necessities and weapons and equipment.
In the last slot was placed [Lin Qingsong's head]...
She had actually done it!
If Lin Qingsong had a decoy puppet-like item this time, the hint in the slot wouldn't be displayed like this.
This meant that Lin Qingsong was truly dead.
After Guan Xin drank the entire cup of coffee, her spirit and appearance began to improve significantly.
"I wasn't late. When I arrived at the villa gate, it was exactly one second before midnight..."
Guan Xin said nervously.
"Yes, I know. You completed the mission very well!"
Zhang Chen nodded.
It was clear that Guan Xin's desire to join the organization was extremely urgent and sincere.
Moreover... she had just proven her worth by killing Lin Qingsong, who was of a higher level.
No matter what means she used, she had ultimately accomplished it.
On this merit alone, she could join the organization.
"Rest for a bit. Tomorrow, I'll invite you to become a formal member of the organization and introduce you to the other members!"
Zhang Chen said.
"Okay..."
Hearing Zhang Chen say this, a weight was lifted from Guan Xin's heart.
A relaxed smile appeared on her face.
She was indeed very hungry and began to eat heartily.
When she tasted the beef, her eyes lit up in surprise:
"This... this texture... is it Wagyu?"
"Is... is it... I didn't look closely. There was too much stuff, so I just grabbed something..." Zhang Chen replied casually.
"This... you this..."
Guan Xin was too shocked to speak.
Even in peacetime, Wagyu was not cheap.
Let alone now, in the apocalypse?
Many people couldn't even get enough to eat, and meat was an even rarer commodity.
Yet here, Zhang Chen casually took out a slice of Wagyu?
This... this was too extravagant!
However, at the same time, Guan Xin secretly rejoiced that she hadn't followed the wrong person!
Zhang Chen's strength and wealth were definitely far beyond her imagination!
"Who's here? Is it a good friend returning?"
Xiaobai came downstairs, rubbing her eyes.
"No, it's a new friend. After she finishes eating, take her to take a bath!"
Zhang Chen said to Xiaobai.
Guan Xin could bathe herself; Xiaobai just needed to show her the way to the bathroom.
After saying this, Zhang Chen suddenly remembered Xu Ruina...
Hiss...
How familiar was this scene?!
After eating, Guan Xin bowed slightly to Zhang Chen to express her gratitude, then followed Xiaobai step by step towards the bathroom upstairs.
Not long after, a scream suddenly came from upstairs.
Immediately after, Xiaobai ran out of the bathroom.
"Dad, Dad, hurry, hurry!
It's bad, something big has happened! This sister has turned into a zombie!"
"Huh?" Hearing this, Zhang Chen couldn't help but be startled.
Guan Xin died?
He hadn't noticed her being infected?
But even if she turned into a zombie, it wouldn't be anything to be afraid of.
Even if she turned into a Wailer, it wouldn't pose much of a threat to Zhang Chen.
Zhang Chen quickly followed Xiaobai and with a bang, pushed open the bathroom door.
He saw Guan Xin standing under the shower, lathering her body...
What the heck... she didn't turn into a zombie...
Her eyes were normal, her skin... uh... very good... there were no purple veins on it.
There was just some foam on her hair and face.
Zhang Chen gave Xiaobai a bewildered look.
He saw Xiaobai pointing at the bruises on Guan Xin's body and saying:
"Dad, look quickly, isn't this a sign of turning into a zombie?!"
Only then did Zhang Chen notice that Guan Xin had many bruises on her body.
But she wasn't a zombie.
These bruises were all from the battle.
At this moment, Guan Xin wiped the foam from her face and saw Zhang Chen and Xiaobai.
Zhang Chen and Guan Xin's eyes met, and there was a bit of awkwardness.
However, Guan Xin didn't show any panic or feel overly violated.
Instead, she instinctively covered herself and looked at Zhang Chen.
As if judging Zhang Chen's inner thoughts at that moment.
"That... the child doesn't know any better... I'm sorry!"
Zhang Chen quickly retreated with Xiaobai.
"Dad, isn't that what it looks like when someone turns into a zombie?"
Xiaobai asked with surprise.
"No, those are just normal bruises!"
Zhang Chen replied with a helpless expression.
"Oh... Dad, are you angry with Xiaobai? Then if something like turning into a zombie happens again, I'll handle it myself and won't tell you!"
Xiaobai pouted.
Zhang Chen squatted down, looked up at Xiaobai, and said:
"I'm not angry with Xiaobai. On the contrary, I'm very proud of your vigilance!
If something similar happens, please don't handle it yourself. Leave it to me!" kanδん
"Mm!" Xiaobai nodded, greatly encouraged by Zhang Chen's words.
"Mm..."
Zhang Chen felt that his last statement was perfectly fine, but for some reason, after saying it, he felt a little strange.
The night passed without incident!
The next day.
The 28th day of the apocalypse.
The vegetation was even denser, and insects had begun to move.
The originally clear sky was suddenly shrouded in a faint haze.
Whether it was dark clouds or smog, the entire world was dim.
Looking into the distance, many high-rise buildings and streets were hidden beneath the haze.
It was as if an invisible force was awakening, naturally segmenting the survivors, preparing to devour them bit by bit.
There are still... two days...
