The Absolute Favorite in the Apocalyptic Rebirth

Lou Ling looked thoughtfully at the arrogant people at the entrance of the village. After thinking for a while, she finally realized something.

“What were you looking at just now?” Lin Baobao asked while filling an empty bucket with water.

This house had two floors. Most of the things in the house had been taken away, leaving only bulky furniture. It didn't need to be tidied up before they could live in it. Finally, they could rest. Everyone was busy preparing dinner.

“I thought these people looked familiar before, and now I finally remember who they are,” Lou Ling said while helping to get a bucket to fetch water. “When I first arrived at the Capital Base, my brother and I left the base to collect seeds of mutated plants in the mountains. When we came back, we also met this group of people. They also set up obstacles in the middle of the road like they do now, and you had to pay food or crystal nuclei as tolls to pass.”

But later, Lou Dian used a third-tier crystal nucleus to attract the surrounding zombies, scaring them away. And that time, they also met a saint-like boy, Yang Yi. She didn't know how he was doing now. Lou Ling naturally hoped that a boy with such a pure heart and who could stick to his principles could live a better life.

After hearing this, Lin Baobao sneered and said, “It's not surprising. Many people just want to get something for nothing.”

The other people in the room also heard their conversation and nodded. This was also the reason why Lou Zhan and Yan Ge handed over the crystal nuclei. There was no need to worry about such trivial matters. Anyway, they had a lot of crystal nuclei, so they didn't have to care about such trivial matters. Everyone was tired all day and needed a place to rest instead of causing trouble for a few crystal nuclei. Of course, if those people had bad intentions and dared to make any small moves, that would be another matter.

Strength was the foundation above everything else. They had the strength and the confidence, so they didn't care about these people's little thoughts.

After closing the door, they started making dinner.

Before leaving, the big man who brought them here looked at these people carefully, and quickly got an idea in his heart. He hurried to report to their boss.

This boss, surnamed Jin, was a nobody in the underworld before the apocalypse. He was a bit smart, but he couldn't do anything big. After the apocalypse, he gained abilities and gathered some brothers from the underworld to start a business of robbing on the road. However, he still had some conscience. He robbed others of their belongings, but did not harm their lives. It was just that those ordinary survivors had no food or crystal nuclei, and their survival became more and more difficult. Sometimes, they even lost their lives on a whim.

“Boss, I've seen it. Except for an old man and two children, the rest of them seem to be quite capable and difficult to deal with. They should have space abilities. The food is stored in the space, and there is not much in the car, only some supplies. Boss, what should we do?”

Boss Jin stroked his chin, asked a few more questions, and after a while, he said, “Just like before.”

After hearing this, the other subordinates knew that their boss was going to attack this group of people. Although the twenty or so people looked like they had good fighting strength, no matter how good their fighting strength was, they were no match for them secretly attacking and using the knockout drug. As for the source of the knockout drug, it was collected by Boss Jin when he was in this business before the apocalypse. Although the physique of the ability users had increased after the apocalypse, half an hour of being knocked out was enough.

After finally agreeing on a plan, the greasy, bad boy from before ran over, rubbed his hands, and said, “Boss, I've seen it. Among the group of people before, there are three good-looking girls. They are so clean.” He rubbed his hands with a wretched look on his face.

Boss Jin slapped him on the forehead, then kicked him, and said, “You haven't even grown any hair yet, and you want to play with girls. It's not your turn. Hurry up and work.”

Seeing the bad boy's fate, the others laughed and said, “Huang Mao, if we can snatch those little girls, it will be our turn to choose first. You little brat also want to choose? You can only have what's left. Hurry up and work.”

Huang Mao was kicked, and the back of his leg hurt faintly, but he didn't dare to resist, so he hurried away.

On the other side, Lou Dian's eyes suddenly turned cold. Lou Ling, who happened to see it, shivered.

“What's wrong?” He reached out and touched her face. She had just washed her face, and her cheeks were cool and comfortable to touch.

Lou Ling patted his hand away and said, “It's nothing. It's time to eat. I'm hungry.” She hurriedly slipped away, feeling that he seemed a little evil just now, so it was better to stay away.

Everyone had worked hard today. After arriving at a safe place, they decided to eat something good. After seeing the ingredients that Lou Dian took out, Grandpa Mo was also ready to show off his skills and make delicious food to reward everyone. Compared to those who fought, Grandpa Mo and the others were protected in the car, so they didn't suffer any injuries or get tired. They were full of energy at the moment.

Soon, the room was filled with fragrance. The people who passed by outside sniffed their noses, their mouths watering. They swallowed hard and secretly thought that this group of people must have abundant supplies to be willing to eat and drink like this. They must work hard tonight. The other survivors who also came to the village narrowed their eyes. Although their mouths were watering, they didn't want to cause trouble, so they just huddled in the house and silently nibbled on dry food.

Their experiences after the apocalypse had made many people understand some survival instincts. Only those who were strong dared to cook so openly. They were not afraid of others coming to rob them, so they acted recklessly.

After dinner, Yan Ge began to assign people to keep watch at night. The elderly, children, and three women were naturally skipped. The others had no objection to this arrangement. Although they were led by Lou Zhan after the apocalypse, they did not develop any bad habits and still retained some of their pre-apocalypse thoughts. It was nothing to be humble to women.

Lin Baobao took the opportunity to drag Lou Ling to the bathroom upstairs to get water for a bath. After a day of fighting, they were sweating profusely, and their bodies were emitting a sour smell of sweat. Naturally, they had to clean themselves up before going to sleep if they had the conditions. After the two girls finished taking a bath, Lin Baobao kicked Tan Mo, who was nestled in the corner, full and drunk, like a kitten, to take a bath. She wouldn't let her sleep without taking a bath, which made Tan Mo, who was so tired that she wanted to lie down and sleep, threaten her with bared teeth. Unfortunately, Lin Baobao was unmoved.

The other men were not so particular. They directly took the bucket and asked Lin Baobao to condense a bucket of water, carried it to the yard, and directly stripped naked to wash, not minding showing their birdie in front of the same sex. The four women in the team were busy on the second floor. Knowing that the men were taking a bold bath in the yard below, they naturally avoided it. However, Lou Zhan, Lou Dian, and Yan Ge were more particular and went directly to the bathroom to wash.

Yi Zheng was still injured, but the wound seemed to be scabbing. It was estimated that it would heal in half a month. Lin Baobao also put down a bucket of water for Yi Zheng to wipe her body, and then helped her apply medicine.

Yi Zheng sighed and said, “Girls are still more considerate. My mother used to tell me to go on blind dates and get married. Unfortunately, after so many blind dates, none of them were successful. After a lot of effort, I finally fell in love with one, but before I could go further with him, the apocalypse came, and those people turned into zombies… I also said that I would give birth to a girl in the future and let my mother help me take care of her…” Her voice became lower and lower, and her face was a little sad.

Lou Ling took out a pack of coconut candy from her backpack and distributed it to Yi Zheng, Lin Baobao, and Mo Yingying. She said, “Sister Yi, you have to look forward. When you find a good man in the future, have a girl with him.”

Yi Zheng held the coconut candy in her mouth. After hearing this, she quickly cheered up and said, “Little Sister Lou is right. When I find a good man in the future, I will have a girl with him to fulfill my mother's wish.”

“Let her be Yingying's companion in the future.” Lou Ling pulled Mo Yingying over.

Mo Yingying's face flushed red with a smile, and she promised, “I will take good care of my little sister. I will also teach her how to kill zombies and not let zombies bite her!”

“Haha, I'll leave it to you then.”

Lin Baobao watched the three of them talking happily from the side, and her eyes couldn't help but flash with a smile. Although she wanted to say that if she wanted to have children, she had to have a safe environment. Otherwise, it would be extremely difficult for pregnant women to survive in the apocalypse, and it would not be conducive to the growth of newborns. But seeing how happy they were talking, she didn't say anything that would dampen their spirits.

The sun set over the mountain, and the sky gradually darkened. The whole village was dark except for a few places where torches were lit. Only the stars in the sky were twinkling. It seemed that tomorrow would be another sunny day.

In the early hours of the morning, when people were most relaxed, there was some movement at the door. A puff of smoke blew in from the door and was wrapped in a strange wind, quietly sending it into the house.

The people outside put their ears to the door and wall. After waiting for a long time, they didn't hear any sound from inside. They couldn't help but feel a little strange.

“Huang Mao, go in and take a look.”

Huang Mao's face fell when he heard this voice as thin as a mosquito's. He also felt that something was wrong here and didn't dare to go in! But he couldn't disobey the boss's words, so he quietly climbed over the courtyard wall. Just as he was about to jump down, he suddenly felt his waist tighten. He didn't know what was holding his waist, and then his whole body was pulled in.

“Ow… Ugh…”

A few strange sounds rang out. The people outside were still in shock when the door suddenly opened. A dark shadow smashed over. With a bang, the people guarding outside were also pressed to the ground by the thing that smashed over. They screamed in horror. Before they could escape, they felt their feet entangled by something cold, and then they were lifted up and smashed to the ground again. Immediately, screams rang out.

This commotion was extremely lively. The survivors in the village were all woken up and looked out one after another. Soon, they saw those people who were hanging upside down by the vines.

The ability users in the house woke up when they found someone releasing smoke. The wind ability user among them blocked the smoke that was being carried by the wind. Then, they all gathered at the window and watched the iron wire vine guarding the courtyard deal with those who wanted to sneak in. The highest ability of these people was only second-tier, so they didn't bother to deal with them. They all watched with great interest as the mutated vine took advantage of the night to attack these people, and then tortured them to death.

Lou Ling was also very excited. This was the first time she had directed the mutated vine to torture people. In the past, it was all about torturing zombies. Zombies had no sense of pain, and they wouldn't cry out in pain even if they were tortured. And now, these people who wanted to rob them, she naturally didn't have to be polite. She smiled and sat by the window, looking down at the scene below.

Lou Dian stood beside her and put his hand on her shoulder. He only glanced at it a few times before looking away. Looking at her bright eyes under the starlight, he couldn't help but smile.

Until the mutated vine had tortured all those people, the vine retracted into the yard, conveniently closed the door, and returned to peace.

The people outside had already been swung to the ground by the mutated vine a few times. They were dizzy and almost scared out of their wits. They ran away in a hurry, carrying some of their unconscious companions with them. How dare they test the waters again?

When they returned to the house in the middle of the village, they lit the oil lamps and saw clearly what everyone looked like. Their faces were bruised and swollen, and some parts of their bodies were scratched. They looked extremely miserable.

Boss Jin also knew that they had encountered a powerful person they couldn't afford to offend this time. He regretted it endlessly. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have gone to test them. Wouldn't it be better to respectfully send these gods away and continue to occupy this place? However, they only let the mutated vine deal with them and didn't make a move themselves. They shouldn't be looking for them to settle accounts tomorrow, right?
