The Absolute Favorite in the Apocalyptic Rebirth

Lou Ling and the others naturally didn't know what was happening in the capital base. They all headed northwest together. Near noon, they finally arrived at the small town where Lin Baobao and the others had been before.

This town wasn't too far from the capital, so when survivors from the base went out to gather food, they targeted nearby towns. Gradually, as the zombies nearby were almost wiped out, the supplies in the town were almost collected. Now, very few people came here to collect supplies, mostly to rest.

Their group had a total of four vehicles, each carrying five people with plenty of room to spare. The convoy stopped in an open space in the town.

Lou Dian and Lou Zhan informed everyone to rest and have lunch here, while they went into town to find Lin Baobao and the others. With Lou Zhan's agreement, the two left.

As they entered the town, Lou Dian released his mental power and began to search. However, what his mental power saw stunned him.

With a target in mind, it only took them ten minutes to reach Lin Baobao's hiding place. It was a residential house. There were no survivors left in the town. After the apocalypse began, most of the survivors left with the army that came to search for them. Even those who didn't leave, after experiencing a cold winter and the threat of zombies, couldn't compare to the safety of the base, and gradually left, making the nearby towns mostly empty.

Lin Baobao, who was inside the house, had already noticed someone coming and went to check. Naturally, she saw them. Before Lou Ling and the others could get close, Lin Baobao excitedly opened the door and rushed over, jumping into Lou Ling's arms - of course, they were quickly separated.

Lin Baobao didn't dare to protest to Lou Dian, but only winked at Lou Ling. Tan Mo, who was behind her, saw them and jumped over, shouting directly, "Meat, food!" He spread out his hand, actually asking Lou Dian for food. The reason was naturally that during the ten days in the cave, it was Lou Dian who cooked, spoiling his appetite. Even someone with a confused mind could tell what was delicious and what wasn't. Obviously, the food Lin Baobao made was really not delicious.

Lin Baobao slapped him on the back of the head again. How dare he dislike her cooking! She had tried her best to let him eat cooked food.

After hitting Tan Mo, Lin Baobao remembered the people in the house and said, "By the way, Ling'er, Sister Yi is injured and inside."

Lou Ling was startled and asked, "Didn't Sister Yi go on a mission with the others? Why is she here?" As she spoke, she entered with Lin Baobao.

The house was simply furnished, with few belongings and quite empty. Yi Zheng was lying on the bed, her face pale. Her upper body was bare, only covered by a man's shirt to hide her body. Her wound was on her chest, making it difficult to wear clothes, so she simply took them off.

Yi Zheng was already awake when they entered. Seeing Lou Ling and the others, she smiled and said, "Little Sister Lou, we meet again."

Lou Ling had a very good impression of Yi Zheng. Although she looked glamorous, giving off a seductive vibe like a foxy lady, she was actually a silly and kind person with no ill intentions. Talking to her, she would often be amused.

"Sister Yi, what happened? Is the injury serious?" Lou Ling asked. Because there were two other men in the room, it was not convenient to lift the clothes to check.

"It's quite serious. I was stabbed," Lin Baobao said with a frown. "If it weren't for me and Tan Mo, Sister Yi would not only have lost too much blood, but the smell of blood would have attracted zombies and mutated beasts. Sister Yi was framed. They encountered a third-tier mutated zombie, and seeing that Sister Yi had exhausted her ability, a particularly vicious guy took the opportunity to injure her, wanting to leave her there to delay the zombies so they could escape."

Hearing this, Yi Zheng's face darkened. She might be a little silly, but she wasn't stupid. She had originally exhausted all her strength to escape with everyone, but who would have thought that someone would plot against her at that time. At that time, she really thought she was going to die, and felt that it would be good to die, so she could go see Captain Sun Ping and the others. Unexpectedly, Lin Baobao would come to save her.

Hearing this, Lou Ling could only remain silent. After the apocalypse, such things were not uncommon. In order to escape for their own lives, countless people pushed their relatives and friends to block zombies. Yi Zheng's case was not unusual. Having seen enough, they would rather act alone or associate with people with good character. Otherwise, they would rather save themselves the trouble and live their own lives.

Lou Ling asked Lou Dian for some medicine and asked the two men to guard outside while they changed Yi Zheng's dressing. Fortunately, the healing ability of ability users was better than that of ordinary people. After a day of recuperation and Lin Baobao's medicine, the wound had stopped bleeding. It was estimated that it would heal in a few days.

After changing the dressing, Lou Ling asked, "Sister Yi, what are your plans?"

Speaking of this, Yi Zheng said sadly, "What plans can I have? Naturally, it's to live well and live up to Captain Sun Ping's grace of saving my life. It was only after they died that I realized that I had thought things too simply before. If it weren't for Sun Ping's protection, with my personality, I wouldn't have been able to live so well. I have to thank you this time."

Lou Ling and Lin Baobao looked at each other. Lin Baobao said, "Sister Yi, why don't you come with us to the Northwest Base? Anyway, you have offended people in the capital base. If you stay in the capital base, you will have to be on guard all the time. It's better to go directly to the Northwest Base. Moreover, you have good abilities and can support yourself wherever you go."

In fact, Lin Baobao had her own selfish motives for speaking up. First of all, Yi Zheng's character was good. Not only was she not the type to stab someone in the back, but it could be said that she was extremely loyal. If she became a teammate, she would only be loyal to her own teammates. Secondly, they also needed teammates. It would be good to form a team to go on missions in the future. Yi Zheng's strength was good and could be won over.

Yi Zheng was naturally a little moved and asked, "Is it okay? I'm injured now, and the wound hasn't healed yet. I still have some blood on me. If I attract zombies and mutated beasts and cause trouble for you…"

Lin Baobao chuckled and said, "Then, Sister Yi, do you think there have been any zombies here from yesterday to today?"

Yi Zheng was stunned, looking confused. Lou Ling knew that it should be Tan Mo's doing. He could deter mutated beasts, shield mental power, and interfere with zombies' sense of smell, making it impossible for zombies to find them. That's why they were able to stay here safely. Thinking about it this way, she felt that with Tan Mo around on this trip to the Northwest Base, the journey would be much safer.

In the end, Yi Zheng chose to go with them. However, she also told them that when she was on a mission with Sun Ping and the others, she had offended someone. That person happened to have some connections with a military brat in the capital base. The reason why Sun Ping and their team were wiped out was because the military brat used his power to arrange a dangerous mission for them. When Yi Zheng learned about this, she was naturally furious and wanted to avenge Sun Ping. Unfortunately, she was only one person. How could she touch those powerful people in the base?

However, since she was not going back to the capital base, she didn't have to worry about those people. Could it be that they would run to the Northwest Base? That would be even better. The power structure of the Northwest Base was relatively simple, unlike the capital base, where the power structure was complex and intertwined, making people feel uncomfortable.

After getting Yi Zheng's consent, they packed up their things. Yi Zheng was not yet fit to travel. Lou Dian wouldn't carry a woman other than Lou Ling. If Tan Mo carried her directly, it would aggravate Yi Zheng's injuries. In the end, Lin Baobao had to step in and directly carry Yi Zheng to meet up with Lou Zhan and the others.

When they returned, Grandpa Mo and the others had already prepared lunch. Now that they had just left the base and the place was safe, they were not stingy with making delicious food. If the situation became dangerous in the future, they would have to eat dry food on the road, and no one wanted to mistreat their stomachs.

Smelling the aroma, Tan Mo, whose stomach had been abused by Lin Baobao for a few days, rushed over and guarded the big pot. Grandpa Mo, who was holding the ladle, was startled, and the two children beside him were also scared and jumped behind Grandpa Mo.

"Yo, who is this?" Yan Ge whistled frivolously.

"Tan Mo," Lin Baobao introduced lightly, then smiled and said to Grandpa Mo and the others who were happy to see her, "Grandpa Mo, this is my younger brother. He bumped his head before and his brain is not working well, but he loves to eat. I'll trouble you to take care of him in the future."

Hearing this, Grandpa Mo couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him. Mo Yingying and Chen Luosheng also curiously poked their heads out to look at him.

Lin Baobao placed Yi Zheng on a stool by the side and explained Yi Zheng's situation to Lou Zhan and Yan Ge. Knowing that Yi Zheng was going with them, Lou Zhan nodded indifferently without asking anything. Yan Ge, on the other hand, was more thoughtful. Although from a man's point of view, Yi Zheng was truly a stunner, the kind of woman that men would dream of having as a mistress, he also knew that in the hearts of women, this type of woman might be a homewrecker, a vixen that they couldn't wait to guard against. Moreover, he knew that Lin Baobao, who looked like a sweet and innocent girl with a baby face, actually had a lot of schemes in her heart. He guessed that she had her own calculations. It seemed that Yi Zheng's ability should be good.

As his thoughts raced, he saw that Yi Zheng was already smiling charmingly and calling them handsome. Just looking at her appearance, voice, and demeanor, one would think that this woman was restless. However, her eyes were extremely innocent, without the slightest hint of seduction. Yan Ge found that the eyes of the hot-blooded young men in his team were all lit up.

Compared to Lou Ling and Lin Baobao, two college girls who were still green, Yi Zheng was already a mature woman. It was no wonder that these single men's eyes were shining.

The food was ready, and everyone took out their lunch boxes to get their food. Seeing Tan Mo squatting in front of the pot like a child, looking naive and adorable, Grandpa Mo couldn't help but fill his lunch box with food. Sure enough, Grandpa Mo's cooking easily conquered Tan Mo's stomach, directly abandoning the food that Lin Baobao made before.

Seeing Tan Mo wolfing down his food, Lou Ling suddenly nudged Lin Baobao with her elbow and asked, "Did you abuse your brother? He looks like he hasn't eaten in three days."

Lin Baobao's face darkened a little, and she glared at Tan Mo hatefully. "Who abused him? He disliked the food I made. My instant noodles aren't bad!"

Lou Ling could only comfort her by patting her shoulder and picking up a piece of cured meat from her lunch box to comfort her wounded heart.

Lin Baobao first glanced at Lou Dian, who was not far away, and found that he was not paying attention. She immediately beamed and took a bite of the cured meat, feeling that it was even more delicious than the one in her own bowl.
