The innermost shelves of the supermarket were stocked with bedding. Ye Xin, unaware of what had just happened, was busy arranging his little nest.
"Phew~ Worn out, I am. I'll rest here for today."
Although it was springtime, the weather was still a bit chilly. So, Ye Xin added two more quilts on the ground.
Then he went to the aisle to set up some obstacles. After being busy for half a day, before he could even enjoy it, the little girl, Su Duoduo, had already claimed it.
"Damn it, you little idiot, you're really not playing fair!"
Su Duoduo, with her Spatial Ability, didn't need to go over the obstacles to get to the bed. Feeling the soft bedding, she burrowed into the covers, revealing only half her head. She stuck out her tongue at the rushing Ye Xin: "Bite me~ teehee..."
"Get off the bed, let me at it!"
"Spatial Lock!"
After discovering he couldn't move, Ye Xin stood there, his face tight, wanting to cry but unable to.
"You won't get the antidote! I'm going to go down with you!"
It was clear Su Duoduo was holding back, at least her mouth could still move.
"We have an agreement. I protect you, and after three days, you have to give this princess the antidote and then go see my sister. Today is the first day, don't even think about going back on your word... or, I'll kill you!"
"Is this your idea of protecting me?"
"Did I tell anyone to kill you?"
"No..."
"Did I let the zombies bite you?"
"Nothing…"
"So, are you dead?"
"What kind of nonsense is this? Don't try to change the subject on me.
Look at how your bodyguards protect you. You should listen to me like they do."
Arguing with this girl was infuriating. The ridiculous part was that she always thought she was right.
"Just tell me if you're okay or not. Why should I listen to you? You're so weak. I'm taking this bed. You go outside and keep watch for this princess."
"You!"
Ye Xin wanted to say something more, but then he heard her even breathing. He regained his ability to move.
"She just fell asleep like that?"
Ye Xin walked to her bedside and waved his hand a few centimeters from her face, but she didn't react.
She really did fall asleep. Here I am, Ye Xin, having lived two lives, and I'm being toyed with by a little girl like this. What a disaster!
This was the first time Ye Xin had seen Su Duoduo up close. Her face was like a finely crafted work of art, her skin was fair, like white jade, crystal clear, and radiating a soft glow.
Her long eyelashes fluttered slightly like butterfly wings, her lips were rosy and moist, and the corners of her slightly upturned mouth carried a playful smile that made one want to kiss her cheek.
Heart pure as ice, the heavens may fall, but I will not be alarmed... After silently reciting the Heart-Calming Technique once, Ye Xin smelled a strong milky fragrance, a natural scent of a young girl.
Due to the frequent use of her ability, Su Duoduo's mental and physical energy was depleted, and she was sleeping soundly. Now was undoubtedly the best time to do something.
"You really are a little silly girl. We only met today, and you trust me so much..."
It was unlikely the excuse of the Five Poisons Powder would threaten Su Duoduo. She had the guts and the strength to chop off Ye Xin's limbs and slowly search.
Even if she couldn't find an antidote, if Ye Xin kicked the bucket, she would naturally realize the Five Poisons Powder was just a smokescreen when the time came.
Below Su Duoduo's bed, Ye Xin laid down a new mat. He also gave the extra new cotton to the other people in the shop, to prevent them from bothering him in the middle of the night.
The next day, the rain stopped.
A large amount of Blood Mist descended from the sky. This Blood Mist seemed to have a life of its own, constantly surging and changing shape. Sometimes it looked like a giant monster, baring its fangs and claws at people; sometimes it resembled a surging sea of blood, with waves rolling and churning, as if it wanted to swallow everything.
Soon, cities were submerged by the Blood Mist.
In this Blood Mist, people's vision became blurry, and visibility was extremely low. Except for the dimness indoors, the entire world was blood red.
The doors and windows of the supermarket were tightly sealed. Ordinary people could not survive in the heavy fog and would quickly mutate, but Awakened ones were different. Their vision was far superior to ordinary people. The only thing to guard against was the Zombies.
Zombies will continue to move in the thick Blood Mist; the more intelligent ones are already devouring their own kind.
Ye Xin woke up from his sleep in a daze. He had a very terrifying dream. In the dream, he was a dwarf. Then, the two sisters were also in the dream. They were giants who casually threw a stone and pinned him down, unable to move.
But now that he was awake, why was his chest still so heavy? It even seemed to hurt a little.
Could it be that he had a heart attack?
He subconsciously reached down with his right hand and groped around. But the feeling wasn't right!
"Where are you groping?!" A cold voice came from under the covers. Su Duoduo peeked out her small head, her eyes fixed on Ye Xin.
"..."
Ye Xin was speechless, even suspecting if he had slept in the wrong bed last night. After confirming it was his own bed, he said righteously, "This is my bed!"
"I'm asking you, which hand touched it!"
Damn, this girl isn't even listening to your explanation.
"Just say you want to cripple my left hand."
Motherfucker, my right hand is bandaged. Which hand could it be?
What the hell is she asking?
But something feels off. Where did I touch?
So soft…
"You said it yourself!"
"Are you kidding me!" Of course, that was just an internal rant. Ye Xin plastered a smile on his face and said, "Granny, are you hungry? What do you want to eat? Your little brother will make it for you. Don't be angry, okay?"
[I'm holding back, damn it, not striking last night is the regret of my life...wuwu...]
"That's more like it? Heehee..." Su Duoduo giggled as she got up. Ye Xin had just touched her little head, and although it didn't matter much, it was the first time a boy had touched her head.
As for why she was in his bed, she was actually still a little unconvinced, trying to find her Ability mark or some antidote.
She hadn't washed up last night because she was too tired, but Su Duoduo's beautiful face was clean even without washing. Her mouth was fresh and sweet.
"Here, toothpaste, toothbrush, towel. Handle the rest yourself. I'll go to the kitchen to get something to eat."
"Mmm~ Good brother... you've worked hard..." Su Duoduo looked like a little sister next door, showing an aunt-like smile. Only Ye Xin could understand that this smile was a bit creepy.
"Hold on, Duoduo, can you speak normally? One minute you're all sweet and cute, the next you're all zombie-like."
"Gege… Duoduo always talks like this, you know?"
Ye Xin didn't want to waste time with her. This girl was adorable, and few could resist her when she played cute, but she could also be ruthless. Anyway, she was after his life.
Passing the doorway, he saw Wang Jie and Song Qiming chatting. Their eyes weren't friendly when they looked at him.
"Are you sick? Get out of the way!"
Song Qiming blocked the door, his Awakened ability making him arrogant. He couldn't afford to offend Su Duoduo, but he couldn't stand this bandage-wearing, useless person being so cocky.
"You're a cripple, what are you being so arrogant about?"
The conflict between the two men was about to erupt. Ye Xin turned to look at Su Duoduo. After all, when beating a dog, he should consider the owner's opinion.
"Silly girl, can I kill him?"
