110: Chapter 110 Can I go with you?

Xu Wanning smiled. "Alright." Who knew what the future held? Unless their relationship fell apart, she would definitely never leave him.

"Ningning, you two are way too lovey-dovey." Wen Shuyang and the others walked over, carrying their food trays, and sat down.

Xu Wanning rested her head on Lu Chengyue's shoulder. "Jealous?"

Lu Zhiyu chimed in, "If you're jealous, why don't you find someone too?"

Wen Shuyang rolled her eyes. "I'm definitely not looking. If I run into another one like Jiang Lei, I'll die of disgust."

Lu Zhiyu poked her cheek. "You can look among our teammates. There are so many high-quality, single, handsome guys. None of them catch your eye?"

Police Captain Cheng Jingchuan looked at Wen Shuyang. "If you need an introduction, I can introduce you to my brothers."

Bai Jian raised his hand. "Me too."

Li Jingran also nodded. "I can help introduce some to you as well."

The three of them really did happen to have a lot of buddies.

Wen Shuyang put down her chopsticks. "No need. I don't have any thoughts about that for now. I'll just let nature take its course. We'll talk about it if feelings actually develop."

After saying this, she silently began to eat. Of the four of them in their dorm, she was now the only one without a suitor. Ningning was married, Zhiyu had Police Captain Cheng Jingchuan, and Qingqing had three devoted guardians. Only she seemed to be disliked by guys.

Maybe because she had dated trash like Jiang Lei before, everyone thought she wasn't good?

Whatever, let it be. No one said you can't spend your whole life alone.

Besides, this lifetime might turn out to be very short.

Lu Zhiyu had really just been joking at first, but Wen Shuyang was clearly a bit unhappy. "Yangyang, I'm sorry."

Wen Shuyang shook her head. "It's fine."

"Everyone, eat up. We'll go clear out the nearby buildings in a bit," Xu Wanning spoke up at the right moment, steering the conversation away.

After breakfast, everyone headed out together. Grandpa Zhou stayed behind in the building with some people. Aside from those guarding the building, the rest of their family members were currently in either Residential Area 1 or 2.

As long as they didn't come out, the zombies couldn't get in, so it was extremely safe.

Xu Wanning stood at the very front to assign tasks. "Four teams will clear out the library, museum, science and technology museum, and park respectively. Let's go!"

Xu Wanning led Dawn Team 1 toward the library.

Jiang Heng suddenly stopped. "You might not believe me, but there is a female survivor here."

Everyone was at a loss for words. Hadn't they said there were no survivors left? Could this one also have had her brain fried like Shen Feng?

"What's her condition?"

Jiang Heng pointed to the second floor. "Conscious. She's sitting by the window on the second floor reading a book, and her clothes are very clean."

Xu Wanning caught the key point. "So you're saying there are no zombies inside?"

Jiang Heng nodded. "Yeah."

Xu Wanning turned to leave. "Then let's withdraw. Since there are no zombies, there's no need to clear it out. She's staying here, so this is her territory."

"Oh." The group turned around in unison and followed Xu Wanning.

The window on the second floor was pushed open, and a woman in a white shirt leaned out. "Are you sent from Jing City to support Jin City?"

Everyone looked back, and Xu Yu shouted, "No, we're here to take over Jin City and clear out the zombies while we're at it."

The woman choked slightly. "Um, my name is Zhang Ke. I'm an employee of this library. I'm a Water-Type Ability User. Can you take me with you?"

No wonder she looked so clean.

Wen Shuyang responded, "Since you've survived until now, it means you have plenty of food, so there's no need to tag along with us, right? You got here first, we won't try to take it from you."

Zhang Ke shook her head. "My food is almost gone, and my combat ability isn't strong. Surviving until now was purely down to luck. I promise I'm definitely not a bad person. If I ever do anything to betray you, you can absolutely kill me. I'm only asking for a bite to eat."

Everyone turned their gaze to Xu Wanning; they would follow her lead.

Xu Wanning stared at Zhang Ke for a moment. She trusted her own judgment of character; this woman was not a bad person.

But anyone could make a mistake in judgment, so they would have to interact first before deciding. "We are going to clear out the nearby Shopping Square. Want to come along?"

"Yes, yes!" The woman quickly closed the window and ran downstairs, carrying a large backpack on her back.

Xu Wanning reached out. "Do you need help carrying your luggage?"

Zhang Ke shook her head. "No, I can manage. It's too heavy."

Xu Wanning smiled. "I am a Space-type Ability User."

"Ah? That's wonderful." Zhang Ke took off her backpack and dropped it with a thud. It clearly wasn't light.

With a wave of Xu Wanning's hand, the backpack vanished from the spot.

Zhang Ke's eyes widened. "It's been over two years, and this is my first time seeing a Space Ability user. That's so awesome!"

Ye Yuhe helped gather information, "Have you been alone this whole time?"

Zhang Ke shook her head. "No, I previously formed a team with the library staff. However, we only gathered supplies and didn't go to the safe base. It was too far away."

"But even though we were so careful, our teammates still died one by one. During the last Acid Rain, the only two remaining teammates also mutated, leaving only me in the end. Because I have a Water Ability, everyone took great care of me, which is how I survived."

As she spoke, her eyes welled up. "When I couldn't bear it anymore, I really wanted to just die. But when I thought about how my life was built on the lives of everyone else, I dismissed that thought. I have to live on with their hopes and see what the world looks like after The Apocalypse ends."

Everyone fell silent. More or less, everyone present had experienced life-and-death separations, so they could deeply empathize.

"You're lucky to have met us," Jiang Heng said with a chuckle. "Let's go."

The Shopping Square was massive, surrounded by all kinds of shops. There weren't many zombies inside the shops, but there were plenty outside.

They now had their own routine for killing zombies: first build walls, scale the walls, shoot first, and then use their supernatural abilities.

By the end of the process, basically all the zombies that needed to be cleared would be taken care of, unless they encountered a zombie with supernatural abilities.

For them, zombies might be the easiest hurdle to overcome during The Apocalypse.

If they hadn't prepared in advance for the previous extreme cold, very few people would have survived.

With the extreme cold having come first, there was a very high probability of extreme heat coming next year. They had to take over Jin City before the high temperatures arrived, replan, and create a good place to escape the heat.

The four-level underground parking lot beneath the building was their best shelter. Whenever they had time, they needed to reinforce and renovate it to ensure it was habitable and could dissipate heat.

To do this, they would need to go to building materials markets, furniture malls, and appliance stores to acquire supplies.

Currently, Police Captain Cheng Jingchuan was the only one in their team with a Lightning Ability. If a time really came when power generation was needed, Police Captain Cheng Jingchuan might not be able to handle it alone.

When that time came, they would need Xu Wanning's cooperation. She had an Ice Ability, and only by continuously releasing her Supernatural ability could she bring down the surrounding temperature.

The two of them would take turns in a cycle.

But that was easier said than done; if they really had to keep it up continuously for a year, no one would be able to take it.

They still had to find more teammates with Lightning and Ice Abilities.

"Watch out!" Several vines that had appeared out of nowhere came lunging toward them.
