The encirclement had been breached, and the blood-soaked woman, with a determined look on her face, held her child tightly as she ran. She paid no attention to the hands of the pursuing zombies that were getting closer.
In her eyes, there was only one destination - the red car on the opposite side of the RV!
With a "beep," the woman hurriedly unlocked the car, opened the passenger side door, and quickly placed her child inside before closing the door.
After securing her child, she immediately circled around the car to the driver's seat. However, just as she reached for the car door handle, her entire body suddenly convulsed, as if a bent shrimp was being forcefully stretched, clearly stiffening.
Jianyi knew that she was about to turn into a zombie.
In the moment before she lost her sanity, the woman locked the car and threw the keys under the car. Her eyes, now clouded by the blood mist, were fixed on her daughter inside the car, and a hoarse and unpleasant sound came from her mouth.
"Don't open the door—"
After saying this, the woman completely lost her sanity. With a series of loud thumps, she slammed into the car, roaring and staring at her terrified daughter inside. The little girl was crying uncontrollably and calling for her mother.
Chen Junsheng noticed that Jianyi had been watching the little girl intently and cautiously asked, "Should we save her?"
Jianyi nodded lightly. She was just hesitating whether to go herself or let Chen Junsheng handle it when the person behind her spoke first.
"I'll try to teleport and see if it works."
It was Chen Junsheng again!
Jianyi's eyes widened with joy, and she almost whistled to express her happiness. However, she held back and just gave him an encouraging smile.
She handed him an ice pick for self-defense. "Be careful."
Chen Junsheng nodded and walked to the driver's seat. The distance here was a bit closer, only about three and a half meters away from the red car across from them.
Jianyi watched his every move outside attentively. She also held an ice pick in her hand and kept her other hand on the door switch, ready to assist immediately in case Chen Junsheng's teleportation failed.
To be honest, in Jianyi's eyes, the zombies in front of her were just a little uglier than usual. In the early stages of the apocalypse, these zombies were very fragile, and she could easily take on a group of them by herself.
Chen Junsheng took a deep breath, looked at the little girl inside the red car, and with a thought, his figure flickered, instantly disappearing and reappearing inside the red car.
The little girl was shocked and stopped crying, but her mother had already become a zombie outside the car. Chen Junsheng quickly grabbed the child's shoulder, teleported again, and appeared in front of Jianyi.
The little girl was so surprised by the sudden turn of events that she was rendered speechless, just staring at the stranger in front of her with teary eyes.
Jianyi saw this and couldn't help but scold herself, "What are you looking at?"
Startled by her scolding, the little girl trembled, her small hands and feet quivering like a frightened little penguin.
Jianyi stopped her abrupt actions and handed her a tissue. She wiped the dirty tears from the little girl's face and said, "What's your name?"
"…Tongtong," her voice was soft and gentle, and she hesitated before extending a small finger to poke the cup that Jianyi had just handed her. After confirming that it was for her, she held it with both hands and said, "Thank you, sister."
"How old are you?"
"Six."
"I'm Jianyi, a few years older than you. Call me Sister Jianyi."
Tongtong's eyes widened slightly, and her short, fluffy hair trembled. She nodded and, with her two short fingers, wiped her own tear-stained face. She looked at Jianyi with a slightly confused expression.
Jianyi was secretly scolding herself. She had been so abrupt that she had actually made the little girl cry again.
Seeing that Tongtong had stopped crying and seemed a bit confused, Jianyi sighed and handed her a few more tissues. "Do you want more?"
Tongtong nodded, and her short hair shivered again.
Feeling a bit pleased, Jianyi poured her half a cup of her own milk beverage. It was a rare treat in this post-apocalyptic world.
One big and one small, the atmosphere between them inexplicably harmonious.
When Chen Junsheng came out of the room, he could feel the strange atmosphere.
He looked at Jianyi, who was affectionately tapping the little girl's nose, her face showing a gentle and soft expression. He couldn't help but smile, and his lips curved up slightly.
Since this little girl could make Sister Jianyi happy, he decided to let her stay as a little pet for Sister Jianyi.
