In a frigid apocalypse, she fed her boyfriend until he became a zombie king.

Cheng Nianli's body went limp and she fell down. Yi Yang quickly stepped forward and caught her.

Wenren Lei slowly withdrew her hand from the one that had been squeezing Cheng Nianli unconscious.

Cheng Shuang's injuries had been healed by Fu Yan. He stood up and looked at the group, saying, "Thank you for taking Nian Nian with you. I believe she won't hold you back."

Wenren asked tearfully, "Where are you going?"

Cheng Shuang's face began to turn ashen. He turned and walked towards the iron gate, waving his hand behind his back to the crowd: "Go to my wife's grave and commit suicide. I can't become a zombie. If I run into Niannian, she'll start crying again."

The iron gate creaked open, Cheng Shuang turned back and gave Cheng Nianli a deep look before closing the gate and disappearing alone into the wind and snow.

Wenren Lei watched Cheng Shuang's figure disappear, then suddenly her eyes flashed, and she grabbed Fu Yan's hand and rushed out the door.

He braved the snow to catch up with that resolute figure: "Uncle Cheng!"

Cheng Shuang turned around and asked, "What's wrong, child?"

Wenren Lei, slightly out of breath, suddenly shook her head in confusion: "I... I don't really know what I'm supposed to do, but after you turn into a zombie, would you be willing to let Fu Yan take you into his spatial storage?"

He thought to himself, "Humans can't enter the space, but zombies aren't human, are they?"

Cheng Shuang's lips moved slightly.

Wenren tearfully said, "What if? What if there's a way to save you someday?"

Cheng Shuang suddenly smiled: "Thank you for being so considerate. I agree, but don't tell Niannian about this. I'm afraid she'll be disappointed."

"Okay." Wenren Lei nodded emphatically.

A dozen minutes later, Wenren Lei led Fu Yan back to the villa.

Cheng Nianli had already been taken back to her room. Yi Yang was still waiting in the courtyard. Seeing the two return, he came up to them and asked, "Boss, are you alright?"

"It's nothing, I just saw Uncle Cheng off." Wenren Lei didn't plan to tell anyone about Cheng Shuang's time in the space, as it was something with an unknown outcome.

The brand-new, clean little white bear sat alone on the steps in front of the villa. Wenren Lei walked over, picked it up, brushed off the snow, and said to Yi Yang, "Let's go inside."

Wenrenlei and the others went to the third floor and watched from a distance from the door of Cheng Nianli's bedroom.

Chi Qingmo had just woken up from the sonic attack and stumbled to the bedside: "What happened to her?"

No one was willing to speak, so in the end, Yi Yang recounted the events.

Chi Qingmo swallowed hard, somewhat incredulous: "Her father... he's just gone like that?"

Wenrenlei walked into the bedroom, silently placed the little white bear on Cheng Nianli's bedside, and then quietly left the bedroom.

He didn't know if Cheng Nianli would be even more heartbroken when she woke up and saw it. But if there was no way to save Cheng Shuang, this little bear would be the last gift Cheng Shuang could leave for Cheng Nianli.

The living room was brightly lit, and several boys sat silently around the sofa. Even Wanzi drooped her ears and huddled in a corner of the sofa, refusing to come out.

Han Mingjie broke down first, raising her hand to slap herself: "It's my fault! If I had awakened sooner, none of us would have gotten into trouble."

Yi Yang patted him on the shoulder: "Old Han, no one will blame you."

Han Mingjie buried her face in her hands and cried incessantly.

Wenren Lei said coldly, "If you insist on this way of thinking, then blame me for bringing Brother Yan home, since that zombie was after Brother Yan."

Han Mingjie suddenly raised her head: "Boss, that's not what I meant!"

Yi Yang also muttered, "Well, you can blame me for calling the boss back."

Han Mingjie looked at him again: "Why are you getting all excited too?!"

Wenren Lei said, "It's pointless to discuss who to blame. Does this mean we're breaking up after all this talk?"

They all shook their heads: "No."

Wenren Lei stood up: "Then let's not say such things. What we should be thinking about in this apocalypse is how to cheer Cheng Nianli up and how to improve our own abilities. We were all saved by Uncle Cheng today, so let's not let him down."

The living room remained quiet for a long time, and the somber atmosphere was gradually replaced by something unknown.

Meng Fan said, "Boss, I understand."

Wenren Lei raised her chin at Han Mingjie: "Tell me about your special ability."

Han Mingjie wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes: "At that time in the room, Sister Mo and Wanzi both fainted from the pain, but I was fine. I guessed that it might be because I had awakened a shielding ability."

He looked down at his hands: "Perhaps due to the emergency at the time, I inexplicably transferred this ability to you. But I can't do that now; for now, I can only use it on myself."

Wenren Lei looked at Han Mingjie and said, "Old Han, you are our hero."

Han Mingjie was somewhat flattered: "Really, boss?"

"real."

Meng Fan looked towards the corner of the living room: "What about her?"

The little girl was huddled in the corner, her hands and feet were tied, and her mouth was gagged.

It wasn't that Wenrenlei wanted to mistreat the prisoners; it was just that the child was very fierce.

She scratches anyone who gets close to her and keeps trying to open her mouth to unleash her powers to attack people.

Wenren Lei initially thought she was coerced into helping the big guy kill, but now it seems she was just a brat all along.

Wenrenlei walked over, half-squatted in front of the little girl, and took the woolen hat out of her mouth.

The little girl immediately opened her mouth wide to unleash her superpower, but Fu Yan had already copied Han Mingjie's superpower. An invisible barrier stood in front of everyone, and she posed no threat to anyone.

The little girl glared at Fu Yan, then screamed in exasperation, "You cheated!"

Han Mingjie came over, pointing a rolling pin at her: "If you keep yelling, I'll hit you!"

Seeing that Han Mingjie was big and burly, with a fierce look, and seemed like she really would hit her, the little girl immediately shut her mouth.

Wenren Lei asked her, "Do you know you've made a mistake?"

The little girl stubbornly insisted, "I'm helping my dad find food. I'm a good girl."

Wenren Lei said, "You killed ten soldiers this afternoon."

"Kill who?" Yi Yang and Meng Fan were shocked. They stood up from the sofa and went to see.

The little girl got angry and shouted, "My daddy wants to eat their flesh! And they want to kill my daddy! They're bad guys!"

Han Mingjie thought she was deaf: "What? Who are you calling a bad guy??"

Yi Yang couldn't help but say, "Your dad is a zombie."

The little girl scoffed, "So what if he's a zombie? That's my dad." She pointed at Fu Yan, "Don't you guys have a zombie too?"

Yi Yang said, "He didn't kill people randomly."

The little girl stood up and headbutted Fu Yan, shouting, "He killed my father! I'm going to avenge him!"

Fu Yan raised one hand and pressed it against the little girl's crown, letting her flailing her arms and screaming.

Seeing that she was unyielding and hopeless, Wenren Lei stuffed the woolen hat back into her mouth, stood up, and brushed the dust off his hands: "Squad leader, lock her in the basement and keep an eye on her. Let Cheng Nianli decide when she wakes up."

"Okay." Yi Yang picked up the little girl, tucked her under his arm, and walked towards the basement.

The little girl kicked her legs, trying to kick Yi Yang, but Han Mingjie waved a rolling pin behind her, yelling, "You brat! I'll teach you a lesson!"

Wenren Lei grabbed Han Mingjie by the back of her collar: "Who are you going to slap? Look at your face, it's whiter than the snow outside. Go and rest."

Han Mingjie scratched his head sheepishly, "Oh..." He then asked, "Boss, have you eaten? Shall I make you something?"

"Tsk." Wenren Lei raised her chin at Meng Fan. "Take this person back to the bedroom."

Meng Fan stepped forward, grabbed Han Mingjie's arm, and pulled her upstairs.

Once the living room was empty, Wenren Lei slumped back onto the sofa, her whole body trembling slightly uncontrollably.

This was the first time he had experienced suppression since the outbreak of the apocalypse.

Maruko noticed Wenren Lei's unusual behavior, climbed onto his lap, curled up into a ball, and snuggled close to him, trying to comfort her master.

The man trembled violently, and the dog, Wanzi, trembled along with him. Eventually, it turned from one person trembling to both the man and the dog trembling.

Fu Yan bent down and hugged both the big one and the small one into his arms, then went upstairs.

Wenren Lei looked up at Fu Yan: "Brother Yan, I underestimated our opponent, didn't I?"

"No." Fu Yan carried him into the bedroom, placed him by the fireplace, and silently picked up an iron shovel to add charcoal to the fire.
