All the women in the apocalypse are mine

This was her only wish as a mother amidst the horrific disaster.

"I will." To Gu Man's surprise, Ye Xingluo agreed very readily. "Nuan Nuan is so cute, I definitely wouldn't want her to be in danger, especially... Nuan Nuan has awakened a very interesting ability."

If we were to pinpoint another reason why Ye Xingluo chose to come to the cafeteria, it would undoubtedly be for the sake of the little girl, Nuannuan.

In her previous life, Ye Xingluo witnessed firsthand how this quirky little girl transformed the invasion of void creatures into a tower defense game. The strange plants created by her warm little hands were truly impressive.

"Ability? Super power?"

Gu Man's heart skipped a beat... She had had similar suspicions before.

“That’s right, Nuannuan… should have the ability to modify plants.” Night Star’s eyes, sparkling with starlight, fell on the little girl who had peeked out with half her face, and she smiled gently. “It’s a very powerful ability~”

"Yay! Great!"

Upon hearing Ye Xingluo admit that she had superpowers, Nuannuan jumped up happily... When she told her mother before, her mother didn't believe it at all!

Then... Nuannuan, who was so happy she felt like she was taking off, crashed after Gu Man flicked her forehead.

Ye Xinglu looked at Nuan Nuan crouching down with her head in her hands and smiled gently... If he remembered correctly, Nuan Nuan could only build Wall Nuts right now.

However... it's more than enough to defend against void creatures.

"Big brother, would you like to see Nuannuan's abilities?"

Looking at the hopeful gaze in Lin Nuannuan's big eyes, Ye Xingluo smiled and nodded.

"Great!"

Nuannuan's aggrieved look vanished instantly. She shook off her mother's hand and ran towards the cafeteria door. Her lively and adorable appearance contrasted sharply with the despair under the apocalypse, showing no trace of the gloom of the apocalypse.

"This child, really..."

Gu Man smiled helplessly at Ye Xingluo.

This girl... is still so heartbreaking. Watching Nuannuan's cheerful back, Ye Xingluo sighed softly in her heart.

It's not normal for a five or six-year-old child to be able to laugh in the face of such a cruel world, is it?

Night Star followed Nuan Nuan outside. The nut wall, which had been left with only a small portion, had almost been eaten clean by the Void Servants who had come from afar after smelling the aroma.

However, a strange scene occurred again. The little girl, who could have been swallowed whole with a short dash, seemed to be possessed and kept gnawing on the wall of nuts outside the door.

"Ta-da!"

Nuannuan mysteriously reached her little hand into her pocket, and then pulled out a bag of... Three Squirrels?! as if showing off a treasure!

"Holy crap!"

Nuannuan took out a small nut, rubbed it in her little hands, and then threw it onto the open ground not far from the door.

As if a celestial being had scattered beans to create soldiers, the small nut rapidly swayed and grew larger the moment it landed, and a short, chubby nut wall with Saitama's face suddenly appeared.

Meanwhile, the Void Slave next to it, while eating the comical nut wall, lingered its pinhole-like eyes on Nikki and Nightfall for a moment before decisively looking away and taking a bite of the Saitama nut next to it.

"Phew~ You scared me to death." Nuan Nuan patted her chest lightly, breathed a sigh of relief, and then gave Ye Xinglu a proud smile. "Big brother, isn't Nuan Nuan amazing?"

"Amazing, amazing, Nuannuan is the most amazing."

Ye Xingluo picked up the little girl and gently twisted her warm, white face, which was as tender as a lychee.

However... he still felt a slight, almost imperceptible tremor from Nuannuan's small, soft body.

The warm, cozy wall of nuts holds an attraction for void creatures that surpasses that for humans.

As for the reason... it's because the nut wall that Nikki creates has a very strong human scent, a scent that far surpasses that of humans themselves.

To put it more vividly, it's the difference between raw mutton with its strong, gamey smell and sizzling, oily grilled mutton skewers.

Although void creatures are not picky eaters, who can resist the temptation of delicious food?

Moreover, the nuts that Warm Warm throws have crispy skins, lots of meat, and a refreshing taste, far surpassing the taste of humans. Any Void creature would know which one to eat first.

...

By this time, it was completely dark, and the faint hissing sound only intensified the despair in people's hearts.

The void creatures on campus have been mostly wiped out, but one still occasionally pops out from some corner.

The warm wall of nuts really saved Saber a lot of energy. She only needed to go out every now and then to kill the Void creatures surrounding the wall of nuts, without having to be constantly on guard against the Void creatures lurking at the door.

Saber suggested cleaning up the void creatures in the school, but Nightfall refused.

He's a summoner! Going out after dark when visibility is limited is extremely dangerous!

What if you accidentally get pounced on by a void creature?

So, when it gets dark, it's best to stay in a well-lit place.

"You, come with me."

After returning Nuannuan to Gu Man, Ye Xinglu walked to Mina's side and whispered something.

"It's time... to punish you."

...

Chapter Twenty-Eight: Can you please stop moaning so comfortably?

The once empty cafeteria became noticeably more crowded after Ye Xingluo and his students arrived. The survivors, who had narrowly escaped death from the jaws of the void creatures, looked at each other and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In this moment of surviving a disaster, the presence of many people dispelled some of the fear and brought a long-lost sense of security.

As the crisis of being able to die at any moment dissipated, many people calmed down a bit and began to take spontaneous action for their own safety.

The cafeteria lights came on, illuminating everyone's faces, which had regained some color.

To avoid attracting Void creatures from outside with the light, some survivors who were more sensitive to the danger began to find things to block the glass windows that allowed light to shine through. The hall, which was originally filled with only low sobs, was now filled with deliberately hushed conversations.

Of course, these are only a minority.

The survivors present were almost all students, whose thoughts and behaviors were still somewhat immature. The sudden relaxation after the crisis left them feeling a bit lost.

So most people are either staring blankly at the ceiling or crying into their phones when there's no signal.

Ms. Anna was one of the group. She was slumped over her desk, looking lost and confused.

If it weren't for Ye Xingluo's overly realistic words, she might already be comforting those students who were in pain and afraid.

Instead of what I am now... deeply doubting whether I am qualified to comfort others.

I want to fulfill Ms. Anna's wish...

Anna, will you be my girlfriend...?

Anna's first kiss was with me...

Ye Xingluo's exquisite face and fervent words kept echoing in Anna's mind.

For Anna, who deeply loves her boyfriend, these scenes were truly torturous.

"Teacher Anna...something terrible has happened!"

Hearing someone call her name, Anna quickly sat up, wiped away some tears from the corners of her eyes, and looked at the person who had called her.

That's... a peach?

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Peach's anxious face, Anna stood up, took Peach's little hand, and asked.

"Anna...Teacher Anna..." Peach said breathlessly, having run too fast, "Quickly, go save Mina..."

"Mina?"

Hearing this name, Anna felt a complex mix of emotions... Mina bore a large part of the responsibility for Chen Miao's death.

However... Teacher Anna was also a little puzzled: why didn't Peach ask Ye Xingluo to help with the rescue?

"Now...now only Teacher Anna can save her!"

Peach's words instantly gave Anna a bad feeling.

Could it be...?

Anna's eyes widened, and after listening to Peach's explanation, she immediately ran towards the cafeteria's storage room.

Peach stood there, watching Anna's retreating figure, a hint of apology in her eyes.

I'm sorry... Ms. Anna...

Peach, I was just kidding.

But who can blame them for...?

What about Xingluo's request?

...

Amidst the buzzing of electricity, the dim light flickered twice, illuminating the cramped storage room.

Scattered on the ground were brooms and mops used by the cafeteria staff for cleaning. The damp and cramped walls were peeling, and the corners were covered with dense cobwebs.

The storage room reeked of food scraps, and the dirty, messy floor was so cramped that there wasn't even room to put your feet down.

This dimly lit space immediately evokes images of basements or discipline, exuding an incredibly evil aura.

In this incredibly sinister place, a pure-looking young girl lay weakly on the ground. Her pristine white dress was stained black by the filth. Her eyes were tightly closed, and her whole body trembled uncontrollably... as if something extremely terrifying was about to happen to her.

"Snapped!"

The crisp sound echoed incessantly in the narrow space, and the girl frowned in pain, her red lips parting.

At that moment, she uttered... an incredibly charming voice?

"Hey, are you doing this on purpose?"

Ye Xinglu rolled her eyes, looking at Mina, whose front half was pressed against the ground and whose buttocks were sticking up high, and said speechlessly.

"No... I was just following my instincts~"

Mina's eyes were alluring, and her breath was slightly ragged.

"You pervert! Get serious!"
