Chapter 9: A Child Tears Apart Zombies in the Apocalypse (9)

There weren't any zombies around, but this was the only place with fluctuations in power, so Li Qinglan casually tossed a stone to test it out.

If it were a zombie, it would definitely be attracted by the noise of the thrown stones. If it were a human, a human capable of surviving alone in the wild should be quite strong, so it shouldn't be knocked down by a single stone, right?

Who would have thought that Ningbao, this little dumpling, would be knocked down by a rock?

Ningbao was initially sulking, but as a little beauty enthusiast, and more importantly, this older sister's temperament was somewhat similar to Ningbao's older sister Fengyuan—both were cool and handsome.

And since the older girl apologized, Ningbao immediately stopped being angry. She happily waved her little hand, which she could barely raise:

"Hello, big sister."

"She's not an older sister anymore, she should be called grandma."

Li Qinglan also laughed.

When the apocalypse first arrived, her younger sister was about this age.

Li Qinglan's smile faded slightly, but her attitude towards Ning Bao remained very good.

"This area seems to be the territory of a level 7 zombie, it's very dangerous. What are you two kids doing here? Did you get separated from your parents? Which base do you live in? I'll take you back."

Little Ningbao clearly didn't grasp the main point of what was said; her eyes widened, and she looked completely bewildered.

"Why call her Grandma? She's clearly the older sister."

She even jumped up and down a couple of times, then leaned close to Li Qinglan and craned her little head to look at her.

Mumu pulled the child back.

She felt Ning Bao's behavior was very unsafe. Although the other party was acting very friendly now, this was the apocalypse, after all. Was it so hard to put on an act? Even if there was a slight resemblance in temperament, it wasn't Feng Yuan; this was their first time meeting a stranger.

Besides, they don't look alike at all.

In terms of admiration for Feng Yuan, Mu Mu definitely surpasses Ning Bao, after all, it was Feng Yuan who rescued her from that hell.

Li Qinglan simply smiled at Mu Mu's behavior and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

In the apocalypse, it's normal for even children to be wary. If both kids were as carefree as the younger one, she would wonder how they even survived.

"After my superpower level increases, my lifespan will increase and my aging process will slow down. Although I look like I'm only in my 20s, I'm actually over 60. Shouldn't you all call me Grandma?"

Actually, Li Qinglan couldn't understand why such basic common sense would be taught in any slightly larger human base.

The two children don't look very old, so they definitely couldn't have been born before the apocalypse. If it were a very small human base, it wouldn't be able to allow newborns to be born.

After all, the stench of blood produced is no joke; even a slight lapse in protective measures could easily attract a zombie horde. Besides, those small human bases are already expending all their energy just to survive; they don't have time to worry about anything else.

This is why there were absolutely no newborns in the first decade or so after the apocalypse. Everyone was struggling to save their own lives; who had time to care about anything else?

As for the pregnant women and children who were already there, they naturally died as soon as the apocalypse arrived. In the apocalypse, who would protect the weak? Her younger sister died at the very beginning of the apocalypse, in a kindergarten full of baby zombies.

But Ningbao, this little dumpling with a unique way of thinking, was only focused on one thing at this moment:

"Big sister, aren't you amazing?"

Calling her "Grandma" is out of the question. To Ningbao, her older sister Fengyuan is thousands of years old, yet she still calls her "sister." Sixty years old is nothing!

"It's not that impressive, just a seventh-tier wind-attribute ability. It's really dangerous outside, don't you need me to take you back?"

Perhaps because of her younger sister, Li Qinglan was always quite protective of children. This place was within the territory of seventh-tier zombies, so there weren't many zombies roaming around. However, if they left this area, it would still be very dangerous for the two children to travel alone.

"Our base was swallowed up by a horde of zombies, and we barely managed to escape with our meager supplies. Big sister, which base are you from? Could you take us in?"

Mumu spoke before Ningbao could. She pointed in a direction—the direction of the dilapidated base they had encountered earlier.

According to Mumu's judgment, that base must have been destroyed not long ago after encountering a zombie horde. Apart from the fact that they were not originally from that base, there was nothing wrong with it.

This older sister is already at the seventh level; even within a large base, her status must be quite high. If she were willing to take them with her, that would be ideal.

The Heavenly Dao's requirement in this apocalyptic world is to eliminate the zombies. No matter how powerful Ning Bao is, he can't possibly fight all the zombies by himself. He will definitely have to join forces with humans.

They've encountered two groups of people so far: the older woman in front of them and the group from before. Although they don't know much about this older woman, she's at least shown them kindness and seems better than the previous group.

A flawless version after careful inspection!

Li Qinglan hesitated. Although she genuinely had great goodwill towards children, she had to admit that children who survived the apocalypse were no ordinary people. Humanity was currently divided into two factions, and if she casually took two children back, what if they were from the opposing side?

Well, let's see how it goes first. Anyway, she's not going back right now.

"I have something to do. Are you going to follow me?"

Without knowing Ning Bao's actual combat capabilities, she was genuinely concerned for Ning Bao and the others. According to Mu Mu's explanation, they were without adult supervision, and the danger of two children venturing out alone was self-evident.

"Thank you, big sister."

Mumu flashed a standard, sweet smile.

"Thank you, big sister~"

Seeing Mu Mu thank her, Ning Bao also expressed her gratitude. Judging from the child's expression, it seemed she wanted to bow, but because she was top-heavy, she almost fell over. Luckily, Mu Mu caught her, otherwise she would have had to perform a deep bow and kowtow to Li Qinglan.

Li Qinglan was also somewhat amused and exasperated. In the apocalypse, even among children, there weren't many who were this clueless. No, she should say that Ningbao was the only one she had ever seen.

She noticed Mu Mu's polite smile, of course. She didn't see anything wrong with it; it would be abnormal to completely trust a stranger you've just met.
