The Absolute Favorite in the Apocalyptic Rebirth

The next day, everyone had breakfast, eating the leftover steamed buns from yesterday with some pickles. Then, Xi Mufeng and the others set off for the Chen family home in the county.

Lin Baobao was a bit reluctant to leave, but she had promised to accompany Chen Kaiwei back to his home when they were escaping together. It wouldn't be right to go back on her word now. Huang Zhilin, being an ordinary person, was initially advised to stay behind. However, she was worried about Xi Mufeng and insisted on going with them.

Lou Ling watched as Huang Zhilin's beautiful face was filled with determination. She stubbornly wanted to follow Xi Mufeng, while Xi Mufeng had a helpless expression towards her. Lou Ling found their interactions quite interesting and felt reassured. However, when she turned her head, she saw Lou Dian looking at her with a strange expression that sent chills down her spine, a feeling of disgust that lingered.

After they left, only the Lou siblings remained at home.

Lou Ling subconsciously moved to the side, almost dashing out the door under his gaze. She quickly realized that her speed was futile in front of him. By the time she was confined again, Lou Ling had already given up resisting.

"What are you running for?" Lou Dian asked, his slender fingers stroking her chin.

Lou Ling answered honestly, "I don't know why, but I want to run every time I see you."

The result of her honesty was a fierce bite. Her lips were swollen, and the pain brought tears to her eyes. She lifted her foot to kick him in the leg, but naturally missed. Instead, he pressed her against the wall and continued his assault.

By the time her hands and feet were limp, and her mind was blank, he was holding her against the wall, his heavy breathing falling on her ears. His no longer clear voice rasped beside her ear, "Xiao Ling, don't look at other men in front of me, I will go crazy…"

Even if I didn't look, you're already crazy, alright!

Lou Ling was once again frightened by his overwhelming passion and oppressive feelings, her scalp tingling. A sense of helplessness arose in her heart, and she could only say, "That… Baobao likes you… uh—" She groaned, frowning as he almost crushed her waist.

His chin rested on her shoulder, and she couldn't see his expression. However, she could hear the ferocity and cruelty in his voice, "So what? That woman… I already warned her. I like you, and you told her that my heart wasn't with her. If she still wants to pester me…"

Lou Ling fell silent.

She didn't know that Lou Dian had already warned Lin Baobao because of this. Thinking of his temperament, it was probably not a gentle and pleasant "warning." Previously, Lin Baobao had expressed to her that she liked Lou Dian and wanted to use their relationship to get introduced to him. She even frequently borrowed Lou Ling's phone to call him. At that time, Lou Dian's attitude towards her wasn't so obvious yet, and Lou Ling had asked him if he would like Lin Baobao. After receiving a negative answer, she naturally advised Lin Baobao. However, Lin Baobao was determined that "the barrier between a girl chasing a guy is just a thin layer of paper, I must win my male god's heart!" and didn't say anything more.

Lou Ling didn't want to lose Lin Baobao as a good friend, but Lin Baobao's stubbornness made it difficult for her.

"Don't worry about irrelevant people!" His slender fingertips smoothed the frown between her brows. His originally black eyes were now devoid of any light, like the color of the abyss, making her heart clench slightly. Soon, she saw a gentle smile appear on his face as he gently placed a mark on her forehead.

"I'll take care of everything. Xiao Ling just needs to think about me."

Lou Ling looked at him patiently, then finally pushed him away and went upstairs.

When she came down after changing into casual sportswear, she saw Lou Dian sitting calmly on the living room sofa, his long legs crossed in a leisurely and elegant posture. He was holding a cookbook titled "Good Wife" in his hand. A handsome man with black hair, black eyes, and black clothes, his fair and handsome face made his temperament even more pure and flawless. It almost made her feel like this wasn't the apocalypse at all.

"Where are you going?" Lou Dian asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Killing zombies." Feeling stifled, Lou Ling felt the need to vent. Killing zombies could not only serve as an outlet but also eliminate harm for the people, killing two birds with one stone.

Lou Dian stood up and suddenly smiled slightly. "Alright, the zombies will evolve soon. You need more training."

As the car drove towards the zombie-infested area in the city center, Lou Ling almost wanted to scream. She clearly wanted to stay away from this man, so why were they out together again?!!!

The car stopped at a water town twenty minutes away from the city center. Lou Dian found a secluded place to park the car and then heartlessly pushed her out of the car. Facing the dense crowd of zombies, even the air was filled with the stench of decay and blood.

Lou Ling held the sharp Tang sword that had accompanied her through countless battles, staring at the zombies that were swaying towards them. She no longer felt scared. Before they got close, she swiftly chopped off their heads. Ducking under a zombie's hand that reached out from the side, Lou Ling slashed off its hand with her sword. As she slid past, she chopped off the head of another zombie that was trying to sneak attack from the side.

Before the apocalypse, the water town was a very lively food street. There were snacks from all over the country. Whether it was students or workers, they liked to come here after work or during holidays to enjoy all kinds of snacks. As a foodie, Lou Ling also had a special liking for this place. However, that was before the apocalypse. After the apocalypse, facing the zombies on the entire street, she just wanted to vomit.

Just as Lou Ling was concentrating on dealing with the zombies, she suddenly felt something was wrong. Without thinking, she rolled on the spot, her elbows and knees scraping against the hard ground, the pain burning. However, she had no time to care as her nerves were stretched taut, her mind highly focused. Lou Ling dodged a zombie's hand and just as she knelt up, she saw a zombie that was different from the others, not stiff or slow, but pouncing towards her fiercely like a normal person.

She had encountered a mutated zombie.

Lou Ling clearly felt this. As the zombie pounced at her again, she swung her Tang sword in a flower pattern, chopping off its right arm that was swinging towards her. However, the zombie didn't seem to feel any pain and continued to pounce at her. Lou Ling dodged repeatedly until there was nowhere left to hide. Her eyes narrowed, and she ducked down, sliding past the zombie's side. She immediately jumped up and swung her sword fiercely at its head.

The zombie's head flew high into the air, blood splattering onto her body.

Lou Ling's body went limp, and she almost fell. A pair of hands caught her from behind.

Looking up, she saw Lou Dian's handsome and fair face. A sense of relief suddenly welled up in her heart, followed by exhaustion that made her whole body ache.

Lou Dian glanced at the zombies on the street indifferently, his mental power spreading out unrestrained, driving away the low-level zombies that were heading towards them. He picked her up and walked to a nearby cold drink shop. He forced the door open and walked in.

Lou Dian tore off her clothes. The clothes stained with the stench of zombie blood were naturally thrown away by him without hesitation, leaving her only in her underwear. Although Lou Ling was embarrassed and angry, seeing him take out the first aid kit to treat the abrasions on her body, she could only close her mouth.

After experiencing the thrilling and tense scene of killing zombies just now, Lou Ling no longer felt the previous suffocation in her heart. Apart from feeling a little uncomfortable being naked, she calmly let him treat the abrasions on her body. There weren't many wounds, just on her elbows and knees, all from when she rolled on the ground. They were just scrapes, bleeding a little. After Lou Dian disinfected them with alcohol, he put band-aids on the smaller ones and bandages on the larger ones.

"Brother, that zombie just now…"

"That was a first-order zombie that evolved from an ordinary zombie. It has a crystal nucleus condensed in its head and moves like a normal person, even faster than a normal person. There will be many more of these zombies in the future, and they will become more and more powerful." Lou Dian said indifferently, "Humans have awakened abilities, and these abilities can be gradually strengthened through training. Similarly, zombies will also evolve. It's very fair."

Lou Ling felt a chill down her spine.

She had always thought that even if she was just an ordinary person, as long as she worked hard enough and wasn't afraid of zombies, she would definitely be able to live well in this increasingly cruel apocalypse. However, the first-order zombie she encountered today made her realize that it was actually extremely difficult for her to deal with those evolved zombies.

It turned out that she wasn't as strong as she thought she was.

This made her a little depressed, so depressed that she almost forgot that her upper body was still naked, only wearing a bra. It wasn't until the man beside her looked at her body inch by inch with burning eyes that she hurriedly reached out to cover his eyes, her face dark. "Give me the clothes."

Lou Dian obediently took out a set of autumn sportswear.

Although she was startled by the evolved first-order zombie, it didn't dampen Lou Ling's spirit. On the contrary, it made her more courageous. After resting for a while, she was fully recovered and decided to continue to hone herself. At the same time, she would collect the supplies that no one dared to collect because there were too many zombies, lest they expire and become unusable.

As for what to do with so many supplies after collecting them - there were many uses. They could be used to help the elderly and children who were unable to help themselves, or they could be exchanged for other things.

As long as her own life and survival were guaranteed, Lou Ling didn't mind sharing her kindness with others. Lou Dian also acquiesced to her behavior. There was already a dark and twisted person among them, there was no need for another ruthless person. It didn't matter if she was soft-hearted, he would be there to watch over her.

As for supplies, Lou Ling was initially worried. But after learning that Lou Dian had gone to several major grain-producing countries a month before the apocalypse to buy enough food and supplies for them to eat for several lifetimes, she shut up. She wasn't so keen on the readily available supplies in her country now. She would collect them because no one else would and she was worried that they would expire. She would take them away first and give them to those who really needed them later.

As for how Lou Dian had space and started collecting supplies before the apocalypse, Lou Ling originally wanted to ask. However, when she met his cold, inorganic black eyes, she couldn't ask anything. Instead, she was curious about how he had so much money to buy supplies. Even if he sold all the shares of the company that Papa Lou left him, he wouldn't be able to afford so much, right?

Lou Dian's answer was very simple: "I earned it from gambling." Mental power was really a good thing to cheat with.

Lou Ling was shocked: "You actually learned to gamble?" Does Papa Lou know how bad you are?

Lou Dian looked at her with a half-smile. "Don't worry, apart from eating, drinking, and gambling, I haven't learned to visit prostitutes! I'm clean, only you."

"…" Why could he say such things with such a calm and proud expression? He really was a pervert!
