The Absolute Favorite in the Apocalyptic Rebirth

Lin Baobao and the others were gone for three days.

Three days later, when they returned, they were in a sorry state. They also brought back a five-year-old boy, Chen Kaiwei's elder brother's son. When they arrived at Chen Kaiwei's house, they found that everyone in the house had turned into zombies and were locked up in the courtyard. The child was locked in the house by Chen's sister-in-law. That's how the tragedy was avoided.

When the apocalypse came, Chen Kaiwei's parents turned into zombies. Chen Kaiwei's elder brother and sister-in-law were bitten at first because they didn't notice. When they found out that they might turn into those monsters, Chen's sister-in-law locked her six-year-old son in the room, leaving some water and all the food in the house. It was also because of this that the child's life was saved.

This trip seemed to have made this group of proud sons and daughters feel the cruelty of the apocalypse. They no longer regarded the apocalypse as an opportunity like before, and their temperament had changed somewhat.

The young men and women sat silently on the sofa. Unlike the high spirits of the last time, the atmosphere this time was somewhat low.

Lou Ling looked at everyone and saw that Lin Baobao was absent-minded. She remembered that three days ago, before they left, Lou Dian almost quarreled with her because of Lin Baobao. Lou Ling didn't know how to face her. Her eyes moved to the child who was clinging to Chen Kaiwei. In half a month, the child had lost a lot of weight due to hunger, and he no longer had the innocence and liveliness of a child. He looked frightened.

Lou Ling couldn't help but soften her heart. She took out a few milk candies from her pocket and gave them to him.

"Here, have some candy, little brother."

The child was still timid, his small hand tightly clutching his uncle's clothes. Chen Kaiwei came back to his senses and saw Lou Ling's kind smile and the milk candy in her hand. He touched the child's head and coaxed him softly. Finally, the child was not so nervous and resistant. He stretched out his thin hand and took the milk candy from Lou Ling, whispered "Thank you", and then buried himself back into Chen Kaiwei's arms.

Lou Ling sighed again in her heart.

At this time, Lou Dian came out with a tray on which was a pot of freshly brewed tea and several washed teacups. It wasn't until Lou Dian put down the tray that Lou Ling saw a carton of children's milk on it. She couldn't help but look at Lou Dian with appreciation and joy.

Lou Dian naturally saw the emotions on her face, and a hint of joy flashed across his cold eyes: Sure enough, as long as he showed some kindness to the weak in front of her, she would always soften her heart.

The children's milk was naturally for Chen Luosheng. The others were all freshly brewed Kung Fu tea. Although the taste of this tea was not very good before the apocalypse, after the apocalypse, being able to drink tea was also a luxury.

After everyone drank the tea, their minds stabilized a little. Then they began to discuss their next plan. The people led by Xi Mufeng did not intend to stay at the Lou family's house but wanted to go to the safe base in the capital. Since Lou Dian reminded them that there would be radio broadcasts every day, Xi Mufeng and the others also collected radios while collecting supplies. They naturally learned from the broadcasts that in some places, where zombies were concentrated, there were reports of zombies evolving.

This news was undoubtedly desperate for humans. Unevolved zombies were like dead creatures. Even if they could be dealt with, they were often tiring. If zombies evolved, would humans still have room to survive? It was also because of this news that those survivors who were originally determined to stay at home began to think about going to the safe base.

"The city is no longer safe," Xi Mufeng said. "We plan to collect some more supplies and leave with the army when they arrive." He looked at Lou Dian as he spoke.

Although Lou Dian always dressed neatly and had the fair and handsome appearance of a young master who did not engage in productive labor, he was always cold and indifferent to people and things, as if he did not care about anything except his sister. He also looked completely harmless. However, after they evolved their abilities, they could always sense a vague feeling of danger and couldn't help but restrain their arrogance. Especially when facing Lou Dian, they would always have a dangerous premonition and didn't dare to be presumptuous.

"That's good. In a few days, the army will enter the city to take the survivors to the safe base. You can go with them then."

Lou Dian's voice was still very gentle and clean. Hearing his voice, people would think that he was really a good person and easily let down their guard.

At this time, Lin Baobao, who had been absent-minded, was fully revived. Her eyes were bright as she looked at Lou Dian and asked, "Will Dian also go with us?"

Lou Dian glanced at her indifferently and gave a noncommittal hum.

Lin Baobao was very happy and said to Lou Ling, "Lingling, this is great, we can stay together forever~~"

Lou Ling smiled and asked, "Baobao, what about your family? Don't you plan to go back and see them?"

Lin Baobao's home was in T City, a coastal city with a developed economy. As for why Lin Baobao left T City to study in this place, it was because Lin Baobao's parents were divorced. As their daughter, she was not welcomed by either side. Although she was later sentenced to live with her father, after her father remarried, he didn't care much about this daughter. After Lin Baobao turned sixteen, she moved out of the house and was not very close to her parents.

Lin Baobao sighed and said, "My dad went to the capital on a business trip before the apocalypse. He should be in the capital now. As for my mom, she and her husband were on vacation in the Maldives before the apocalypse. But I also want to go to the capital. My grandparents are in the capital…"

After hearing this, Lou Ling reached out and held her hand. Lin Baobao smiled, her heart warmed, and she squeezed back.

"That's great," Xi Mufeng said. "With Lin here, we'll have water to drink."

The others echoed his words, only Huang Zhiling was a little dismissive.

However, Chen Kaiwei said, "I may not go to the capital with you. I want to go to a nearby safe base and raise Luoluo well in the future." As he spoke, he looked at the thin child in his arms with complicated eyes, and there was a flash of pain in his eyes. The child was drinking milk with small sips. Noticing his gaze, he looked at him timidly and held up the milk to indicate that he should drink too.

The well-behaved nephew almost made Chen Kaiwei, a big man, cry. Chen Kaiwei was 1.85 meters tall and looked tall and strong. He liked to play basketball and had tanned wheat-colored skin. He had a square face, not as handsome as Xi Mufeng, but he gave people a feeling of reliability.

Seeing this scene, the others felt a little sad and sorrowful in their hearts. The elderly and children, whether in times of peace or chaos, were most likely to arouse people's sympathy. Even though half a month had passed since the apocalypse, everyone still had natural sympathy for the weak.

Therefore, everyone decided on their next plan. When the army arrived, they would follow the army to leave the city and go to the safe zone. They would see what to do about going to the capital then. Xi Mufeng, Huang Zhiling, Wei Xian, and Lin Baobao were going to the capital. Chen Kaiwei wanted to stay at the safe base, while the Lou siblings' plans were still undecided.

Lin Baobao naturally wanted to persuade Lou Dian and Lou Ling to go to the capital with them, but Lou Dian's attitude was too cold, and the topic could not continue. She could only regretfully suppress her thoughts and decided to start with Lou Ling. She must persuade Lou Dian to agree to go to the capital.

After a short rest at the Lou family's house, Xi Mufeng and the others did not stay at the Lou family's house. Instead, they chose the small villa next door to the Lou family's house, which was unoccupied. The owner of the small villa had gone on a trip with his family before the apocalypse. Now it was cheap for them. Xi Mufeng directly gave an electric shock and easily opened the security lock.

Lin Baobao wanted to stay at the Lou family's house, closer to Lou Dian. Lou Ling originally hoped so too. She wanted to have a good talk with Lin Baobao. Lou Dian, this guy, had already blackened and was determined to go down a dark path without any possibility of being cleansed. It was impossible to have a good talk with him. Lou Ling could only have a good talk with Lin Baobao, hoping that they could still be good friends and sisters. However, Huang Zhiling said, "The Lou family's house is not a shelter. The owner clearly doesn't like outsiders. You're really taking their politeness for enthusiasm." This made Lin Baobao give up her plan, but her face was a little unsightly.

Lou Ling wanted to say something, but Lou Dian directly covered her mouth, held her in his arms, sent the guests away, and closed the door, letting Xi Mufeng and the others know his intention.

This man was really… he didn't even bother to pretend.

The three men looked at the two women, whose faces were equally unsightly, and sighed at the same time.

Everyone present knew that the Lou siblings were not actually biological siblings. Lou Dian's father and Lou Ling's mother were remarried, and the Lou siblings were not related by blood. The reason why they knew this so clearly was because Lou Dian often sent Lou Ling to school. His noble and handsome appearance naturally made the girls in the school regard him as the male god. So they began to dig into his family history and naturally soon learned about the Lou siblings.

Lin Baobao had declared in school that she wanted to pursue Lou Dian when facing those suitors. Naturally, everyone knew about this. So they understood Lin Baobao's behavior of wanting to get close to the Lou family. However, while understanding, they could also see that Lou Dian was completely indifferent to Lin Baobao. It was entirely Lin Baobao's own wishful thinking. It always seemed too cheap for a girl to chase after a boy.

Therefore, Huang Zhiling also disliked Lin Baobao's behavior of trying to set up Xi Mufeng and Lou Ling for her own sake of pursuing Lou Dian. She and Xi Mufeng had been classmates since junior high school, all the way to university, and were also friends. She had chased after Xi Mufeng from S City to here, so she liked Xi Mufeng. Naturally, she hated Lin Baobao's behavior of trying to set up Xi Mufeng and Lou Ling for her own sake.
