While others are struggling to survive and slaying zombies in the apocalypse, I'm hoarding supp

The acid rain intensified and turned into a downpour.

Fu Xing and his colleagues' expressions grew increasingly grim as they watched helplessly as the once verdant scene gradually turned dark brown.

It seemed as if the whole world had dimmed a bit.

Luo Ning's expression changed slightly, and he sat quietly.

Xiao Jie walked up behind her. "Are you feeling unwell?"

"What?"

"You didn't look well just now, I was worried you might be hurt."

Luo Ning shook her head. "I'm fine." She was just a little weak from exhausting her powers, but it was nothing serious.

Xiao Jie hesitated for a moment, then finally spoke up, "If you're really feeling unwell, you can get in the car and rest for a while. You don't need to sit here."

Luo Ning stopped tapping her teacup; this was a perfectly normal occurrence for her in the past.

In my past life, I would often get injured or even have my powers exhausted during missions.

But she always maintained a calm and composed demeanor to avoid causing panic among her team members.

Her once straight shoulders slumped; she had forgotten that she was no longer the Luo Ning of her past life, who needed to maintain an invincible image in front of others.

"I'm going to rest in the car for a while. This acid rain is likely to continue for a bit longer. Keep an eye on things outside."

Fu Xing nodded. Miss Luo had worked much harder than them. Not only did she have to concentrate on driving, but she also helped deal with those dozen or so zombies.

Luo Ning got on the bus and had 123 check on the situation at home. Nothing seemed amiss, so he sat down in the bus.

It absorbed several high-level wood-type crystal cores.

Although we need to rest, we still have to continue our journey soon. After arriving in Ningcheng, we need to collect supplies from the Ningcheng safe zone and then deliver them to the official base.

So she can't really rest; she needs to recover her powers as soon as possible to ensure her work goes smoothly.

Xiao Jie got into the car, which had a small refrigerator on it, where Luo Ning would replenish the food supplies regularly.

He wanted to make her some nourishing soup, and subconsciously looked into the carriage, where he saw Luo Ning sitting with her eyes closed.

Seeing the crystal core in her hand, he knew she hadn't rested.

He took out two third-tier fire-elemental crystal cores, which she had just given him.

He was too weak to help her at all, which is why she had to go through so much hardship.

After a torrential acid rain, the sky cleared up again, and the sun shone brightly.

The sun baked the scorched earth until it shone.

Luo Ning opened her eyes and called out to the people outside.

"Get in the car, let's go."

They are now only a few hundred kilometers away from Ningcheng. If she remembers correctly, the clear weather lasted for several hours, which was enough time for them to reach Ningcheng.

Then came another period of strong acid rain, and this time she really had to get home before the acid rain started.

Xiao Jie got into the car and handed a small stew pot to Luo Ning, saying, "I'll drive, you can have some soup."

Luo Ning took the stew pot. "What's this?"

"Angelica, red dates, and lean pork soup. There's not enough time, so drink this first. I'll make you something else when we get home."

Xiao Jie began driving out of the service area.

Luo Ning embedded a few crystal nuclei in the bottom of the car, hoping the acid rain wouldn't corrode it.

"Where's our male lead?"

123 blinked his innocent big eyes and asked, while 124 tilted his head and looked at him with the same innocent eyes as 125.

Xiao Jie paused. He had only been thinking of making her some soup to nourish her, and hadn't thought of anyone else.

Fu Xing and the others also looked at Xiao Jie. They had already smelled enough of the sweet and delicious soup from downstairs, but seeing the ingredients that Xiao Jie took out...

Obviously, they don't exist at all.

Over the past few days, they have gotten used to it; Xiao Jie always includes a portion in his cooking.

But it wasn't mealtime just now, so they were too embarrassed to ask if there was any left for them.

Luo Ning proudly held the small stew pot in her hands, looking at the number group.

She has delicious food, but they don't.

The digital group glared at Xiao Jie with resentment, even the TV no longer appealed to them.

Xiao Jie cleared his throat. "I'll make it for you when we get back. I forgot earlier."

"Then why didn't you forget to make it for the host? You even made it especially for the host. It's always the same. You always secretly give the host more delicious food. Male lead, you're biased."

Xiao Jie glanced at them coldly. She worked so hard, so what if he was biased?

Luo Ning patted Xiao Jie on the shoulder, preparing to have an open and honest talk with him sometime.

He should follow her closely from now on. As long as he doesn't betray her, she will make sure he lives comfortably in the apocalypse.

Luo Ning sipped the lean meat soup and looked at the scene outside.

The land turned dark brown, the trees and rocks were pitted and uneven, and the whole world looked like it had just been through a war.

It stopped raining, but some trees were still emitting black smoke, and the ground was covered in deep water.

These pools of water may look harmless, but who would have thought that their acidity could easily corrode human skin?

The car, submerged in the floodwater, had tires that had completely softened and were leaking air, and the metal was rusting and bending at a visible speed.

The world is polarized: exposed objects on the ground are black and decaying, while the sunlight in the sky is blindingly bright.

Perhaps that wasn't even sunlight, since no one had ever seen such bright sunlight before, like high-intensity rays piercing through the gray clouds and shining straight down.

The objects exposed to the sunlight decayed much faster.

Zombies and mutated plants and animals, however, were attracted to those rays; as if drawn by something, they ran toward the location of the rays.

They can't even attract living people.

"What's that? Miss Luo, should we continue on our way?"

Fu Xing swallowed hard and instructed 123 to spread more crystal cores around the car.

"continue."

Luo Ning stared straight ahead, while Xiao Jie floored the accelerator.

A few hours later, there would be an even heavier and more acidic downpour. She didn't have much time to waste outside; she wanted to go home.

"Wait, Captain, are there any survivors over there?"

Shen Yi suddenly pointed ahead and asked, "There seems to be a huge SOS over there, and you can vaguely see several people waving."

"It seems so, Captain, what should we do?"

As they got closer, others saw them too.

There are quite a few survivors, it looks like there are dozens of them.

Fu Xing looked at Luo Ning, "Miss Luo." As a soldier, he couldn't stand by and do nothing while looking at the survivor in front of him.

Luo Ning frowned. "It'll rain acid again soon, there's not enough time."

"I know, but..."

Fu Xing was somewhat embarrassed. Miss Luo was not an official. Rescue was not her responsibility, and this mission had already troubled Miss Luo a great deal.

Given the urgency of the situation, asking her to save people would be a form of moral blackmail.

After thinking it through, the payment bank decided to report the matter to its superiors.

They were also very anxious, as only the authorities had sent people.

Mr. Fu called immediately.

"Fu Xing, bring the person back first."

Fu Xing looked at him with difficulty.

"Commander, our mission here is also urgent. The next heavy acid rain could come at any time, and we need to get back to Ningcheng as soon as possible to transfer supplies."
