After Wang Xiaofei left, no other customers came. In the blink of an eye, it was already seven in the evening!
There was only an hour left until closing time! Chen Yuxuan was eating the Braised Pork with Preserved Vegetables Rice, which was indeed a newly added item.
Even though Chen Yuxuan seemed to spend all his time opening the shop and serving customers, he was actually constantly worried about his sister, praying that she would wake up soon.
After finishing his meal, Chen Yuxuan, with nothing to do, walked out of the shop! He strolled around the Safe Zone to digest his food…
Chen Yuxuan looked at the dark street, only a few streetlights providing illumination! Occasionally, he could see one or two Zombies walking by.
He checked the time; it was ten minutes to eight. Chen Yuxuan turned around, preparing to head back to the shop!
Just then, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps behind him. Chen Yuxuan reacted instinctively and turned to look. He saw a girl, about ten years old, running towards him with a Zombie chasing after her.
Seeing that the Zombie was about to pounce on the girl, Chen Yuxuan's compassion welled up, and he quickly took out the Desert Eagle (Pistol) from his system space. He knew that in the apocalypse, being a saint meant not only a quick death, but also dragging down your companions!
But watching a little girl about to be eaten by a Zombie, he couldn't just stand by and do nothing. He clenched his hand on the [☆Desert Eagle (Pistol)] and aimed at the Zombie's head, firing a shot!
"Bang..." The shot, however, hit the Zombie's body. Chen Yuxuan was already doing well to hit the target with his first shot; expecting a headshot... was a bit much! He saw the Zombie only pause for a moment before resuming its pursuit of the little girl.
"Bang... Little sister, run over here!" Chen Yuxuan immediately fired another shot at the Zombie, then shouted to the little girl.
This shot, surprisingly, was a hit. Chen Yuxuan saw the Zombie's head explode...
Chen Yuxuan looked at the red and white mess of brains and brain matter all over the ground! He couldn't help but kneel down and vomit. At this moment, the little girl ran to his side and reached out to pat his back.
"Brother... are you okay?" the little girl asked with concern.
A moment later... Chen Yuxuan stood up, his face pale, having thrown up his previous dinner!
"I'm fine, little sister! What's your name? And why are you out here alone? Where are your parents?" Chen Yuxuan asked.
"My name is Chen Lin, big brother. Dad turned into a monster like those on the ground, and Mom stopped him and told me to run as far away as possible!" Chen Lin cried.
Even though she was only eleven years old, she understood what was happening! Her mother had stopped her father to save her…
She also understood that her parents were gone!
Chen Yuxuan looked at Chen Lin, whose eyes were red from crying, and it reminded him of Chen Xueying! If he were to disappear one day, would his younger sister be as lonely and helpless as she was?
"Linlin… don't cry! My name is Chen Yuxuan, and our surnames are the same, Chen. From now on, I'll be your older brother, okay?" Ultimately, Chen Yuxuan couldn't bear to leave Chen Lin and said to her.
"Brother Xuan…" Chen Lin thought for a moment and then nodded, calling out to Chen Yuxuan.
"Alright! It's already late! Let's go home…" Chen Yuxuan wiped away Chen Lin's tears and patted her head, smiling.
"Brother Xuan… wait a moment!" Chen Lin suddenly said, then ran to the zombie's corpse in front of them, bent down as if picking something up, and then ran back to Chen Yuxuan.
"Brother Xuan... I'm returning this to you!" Chen Lin reached out her hand and said to Chen Yuxuan.
