"Girls who don’t study well at home, what are they doing trying to rob houses?"
Xiao Feng squatted down and carefully observed the girl. Perhaps due to her evolution, the girl had fair skin and delicate features. She wasn’t stunning, but she gave off an attractive aura.
"Big Sister!"
As the girl was stepped on, the other three aimed their guns at Xiao Feng’s head.
"Do you really think I opened this restaurant in the midst of a zombie horde just to play house?"
"Release my big sister!"
The leader of the group of three said harshly to Xiao Feng.
"Get the hell out of here!"
Xiao Feng slapped the man away with a swift motion.
"Damn, they even used a grenade to kill me. It seems like you guys have been doing a lot of house robbing activities!"
"Now, I’ll give you two choices."
"First, compensate me for the damage here and bring me a few Bloodfang Wild Boars."
"Second, I’ll throw you out there, and you can be lunch for the 300,000 zombies!"
"We choose the first option. We’ll compensate you for the damages. We’ll do anything you want as long as you release my big sister!"
The other two pleaded repeatedly.
"Oh! To see such strong brotherhood in these apocalyptic times is truly admirable."
Xiao Feng stood up and removed the flip-flops from the girl’s face.
"Alright! Since you chose the first option, start by compensating me for the damages, and then bring me some Bloodfang Wild Boars."
"We’ll compensate, we’ll compensate!"
The three of them quickly took out a cloth bag from their pockets.
Clattering!
They poured out several dozen white crystals from it, some of them were green. These crystals were energy crystals produced in the bodies of zombies and mutants. They were required for the evolution process.
The white crystals were first-tier crystals, which could provide around a thousand energy each. The green ones were second-tier crystals, providing approximately five thousand energy each. They were difficult to obtain since not every zombie or mutant had them. Usually, only one in ten would have a crystal, and these creatures were much stronger due to their crystals.
Xiao Feng suddenly remembered the little girl in the backyard alley. She definitely had crystals in her zombie body. Looking at the crystals on the ground, Xiao Feng collected all of them without hesitation.
"Okay, barely enough to compensate for my loss!"
Xiao Feng unabashedly put the crystals into his bag.
"Today, I’m in a good mood. Otherwise, with just those few bullets and a hand grenade earlier, you would have already been sentenced to death!"
"Yes, yes, Boss, you are extremely kind-hearted. We deserve to die."
The three of them stood together, nodding and bowing their heads to apologize to Xiao Feng.
"Now, get lost and bring me a few Bloodfang Wild Boars!"
"Yes, yes, we’ll go right away!"
The three of them picked up their weapons and crawled towards the door, feeling grateful for their lives.
Controlled by Xiao Feng, the door automatically opened, allowing the three to leave, and promptly shut behind them.
Xiao Feng then tidied up the tables and chairs and turned to the girl, asking, "Do you think they’ll abandon you once they’re gone?"
"No, they won’t!"
The girl stood up from the ground, appearing confident.
"Well, I’m not so sure."
Xiao Feng sneered, "Now that it’s the apocalypse, emotions are the cheapest commodity. Do you really think they’d risk their lives for you?"
"They’ll come back!"
The girl remained firm and certain.
"In that case, let’s make a bet."
Xiao Feng said with a playful tone.
"If they manage to bring the Bloodfang Wild Boars as promised, I’ll release all of you. But if they don’t return, you stay here and work as a server for me, deal?"
"You said it!"
The girl’s eyes lit up with determination.
"That’s right, I said it."
Time ticked away.
As the sky gradually darkened, Xiao Feng began to lose hope that they would return. Once it got dark, it would be a terrifying and hellish place in the Land of Yu Lin.
Zombies would become extremely active and alert after sunset, and their attacks would be stronger and faster in the dark.
"We’re finished! They either died or ran away!"
Xiao Feng shrugged and started walking towards the kitchen. But the moment he entered the kitchen, the resturant’s door was knocked.
The girl, who had been sitting on the floor, suddenly stood up and turned to Xiao Feng triumphantly, "I told you they would come back!"
"Looks like I underestimated you."
Xiao Feng walked out of the kitchen and opened the door. However, as soon as the door was opened, a figure rushed in and collapsed.
"Big Sister, Big Brother was pierced by a Bloodfang Wild Boar! Please save him!"
The chubby man and another man shakily told Xiao Feng.
The girl raised her hand and released a burst of cold air, freezing the man’s wound.
"Big Sister, I can’t go on. Take Fatso and Erhu with you and go!"
Suddenly, the skinny man spoke weakly.
"Don’t talk!"
The girl frantically began treating the man’s wound.
However, the man’s condition gradually worsened, and it was clear that he couldn’t be saved.
Seeing this, the girl’s movements slowed down, and she lowered her head with sadness.
"Do you want to save him?"
And at that moment, a voice rang out, causing the girl to raise her head with surprise.
