Chapter 78
"Killing zombies is very dangerous, sister. Are you afraid?" Yun Xiaoxiao asked with a smile.0
Feng Xiaoshi nodded, then shook her head.0
"I'm afraid, but I can overcome it. I can't just hide like a turtle in this building forever, that's not realistic.0
I want to be like you, to have the courage and ability to kill these terrifying monsters.0
That's the only way I can survive in this dreadful apocalypse.0
I want to live!"0
Feng Xiaoshi's eyes were filled with determination.0
At that moment, she seemed to have found her life's purpose.0
Her whole being was brimming with vitality and spirit.0
She was filled with longing and pursuit of a better life.0
At that moment, she was glowing.0
"Actually, I was able to muster this resolve because of you, little sister," she said.0
"Because of me?" Yun Xiaoxiao asked, surprised.0
Feng Xiaoshi smiled slightly. "Yes, little sister, you are so young, yet you can calmly face the zombies and have the ability to protect yourself. I'm so much older than you, yet I've been hiding in this building, too afraid to come out. When I think about it, I'm ashamed of myself.0
So last night, I thought about it for a long time - whether to keep waiting to die in this building or to try my luck out there. After considering it from every angle, the answer was the latter.0
But I also know my own strengths and weaknesses. Even if I have the courage to go out, I don't have the corresponding abilities.0
But I can learn and practice. If you don't mind, could you teach me?0
I promise you that I will never do anything to harm you, and if I have the chance in the future, I will definitely repay you."0
Feng Xiaoshi said a lot in one breath.0
There was worry in her eyes, afraid that Yun Xiaoxiao and the others would look down on her and refuse to let her join them.0
Lu Chen looked at Yun Xiaoxiao.0
"Xiaoxiao, you decide."0
He trusted Yun Xiaoxiao's judgment.0
Nie Yizhou and Xiao Feng both shrugged.0
Meaning they would listen to Yun Xiaoxiao as well.0
Feng Xiaoshi looked at Yun Xiaoxiao earnestly, afraid she wouldn't agree.0
Yun Xiaoxiao saw on the Scumbag Detection Panel that Feng Xiaoshi had an 80% intimacy level with her, and she smiled faintly.0
"Okay, this is my knife. I'll lend it to you. If you can kill that zombie outside, then you can come with us from now on."0
Yun Xiaoxiao took the knife hanging from her waist and handed it to Feng Xiaoshi, then pointed to a male zombie wandering outside the door.0
Feng Xiaoshi took the knife, glanced at the zombie outside, and nodded heavily.0
"Okay!"0
"Just stab the knife into the zombie's brain to kill them," Yun Xiaoxiao kindly reminded her.0
"Mmm, thank you."0
"Sister, are you ready? I'll open the door when you're ready."0
"Mmm, I'm ready."0
Feng Xiaoshi took a deep breath, gripped the knife tightly, and tensed her whole body in full alert.0
Yun Xiaoxiao glanced at her and opened the door.0
As soon as Feng Xiaoshi went out, the zombie outside immediately turned, its grey-white pupils staring at her intently.0
Suddenly, it howled and bared its teeth, charging straight at Feng Xiaoshi as if to rip her to shreds.0
Yun Xiaoxiao could clearly sense Feng Xiaoshi's tension and fear.0
But Feng Xiaoshi did not disappoint her.0
Although she was trembling all over, she mustered her courage and calmly waited, knife raised, watching for the right moment. When the zombie approached, she thrust the knife forward.0
But she didn't use enough force, and her aim was a bit off, so the first attempt didn't pierce through, and she almost got knocked down by the zombie.0
Fortunately, she reacted quickly, grabbed the zombie's outstretched arm, and pushed it away.0
Gathering her strength again, she took aim once more and used all her might to stab the knife into the zombie's brain.0
This time, the zombie finally died.0
Feng Xiaoshi was both shocked and delighted.0
This was the first time she had killed a zombie. Although she was terrified and had used up all her strength, the feeling was truly extraordinary!0
She felt that life seemed full of hope again!0
"Sister, you did great. Join us from now on," Yun Xiaoxiao said, smiling as she walked out.0
"The knife is yours now."0
Feng Xiaoshi wasn't sure she heard right. "Really?"0
"Mmm, you heard me correctly."0
Yun Xiaoxiao's smile was adorable.0
She needed intimacy and combat power, and since this sister was just her type, it was that simple.0
As for how far this sister could grow, that would depend on herself.0
Although in the apocalypse, only those with supernatural abilities had exceptional combat power.0
But in the previous world, there were many who became somewhat famous powerhouses solely through their own strong combat experience, despite having no abilities.0
Besides, some people didn't awaken their abilities until half a year into the apocalypse. It hadn't even been three months yet, so this sister might just not have triggered her abilities yet.0
"Thank you! Thank you so much!" Feng Xiaoshi was very excited, repeatedly expressing her gratitude.0
"Let her come with us," Lu Chen suddenly spoke up.0
Nie Yizhou's abilities were only supportive, and as powerful as Little Scorpion was, it wasn't human. He was worried it wouldn't be safe for Yun Xiaoxiao to travel with just Feng Xiaoshi.0
Yun Xiaoxiao didn't refuse his kindness.0
When it came to leading newcomers, Lu Chen was truly formidable.0
In the previous world, he had trained her, a five-year-old child, into the ruthless survivor she later became, proving his exceptional skills.0
And she trusted Lu Chen and Xiao Feng's combat abilities.0
After regrouping and closing the door to the building behind them, they set off.0
With yesterday's experience, everyone's efficiency had improved significantly.0
The whole morning, they cleared six buildings.0
At this pace, they should have no problem clearing all the zombies from the remaining floors before nightfall.0
At noon, everyone gathered to eat lunch.0
Since Feng Xiaoshi had joined them, although they had decided to accept her, Yun Xiaoxiao still wanted to observe her for a while before truly including her in their group.0
So before meeting up with Lu Chen and the others, she had taken out some food and put it in a large bag.0
"That... I can't accept that. I still have some food left," Feng Xiaoshi said, stunned when Yun Xiaoxiao handed her a box of self-heating rice.0
But she knew how precious such items were now, so she couldn't accept it.0
Yun Xiaoxiao didn't insist and put the rice box away with a smile.0
"Then you can eat this when you finish what you have."0
Feng Xiaoshi quickly nodded. "Okay, thank you, little sister."0
Women's thoughts tend to be more delicate and sensitive.0
She wasn't like Nie Yizhou and Xiao Feng, who were oblivious to everything.0
She knew that in this situation, she was being helped by the others.0
If she continued to shamelessly eat their supplies, they would eventually look down on her.0
So she had to be self-sufficient!0
If she had to, after killing zombies, she would see if she could find anything edible in the rooms.0
While eating, everyone chatted about the eccentric survivors each group had encountered earlier.0
Mostly Xiao Feng, Nie Yizhou, and Yun Xiaoxiao were speaking.0
Lu Chen remained characteristically silent.0
Feng Xiaoshi was shy and didn't speak much.0
But she listened intently to their words, her lips constantly curled upwards in a smile.0
After finishing lunch and resting for a while, they set off again.0
They had to hurry and complete their mission before nightfall.0
Feng Zicong stared down in surprise.0
"Mom, Dad, come quick! Isn't that person killing zombies my sister?"0
