An Abundant Harvest of Supplies

The foolish thought was quickly dismissed after Bai Xiaoling caught sight of the blood and brains on Jiang Zhaosu's hands.

Even though Jiang Zhaosu looked like she could be blown away by a gust of wind and wasn't as tall as her, Bai Xiaoling, who had never even killed a chicken, felt she couldn't possibly fight a young girl who dared to carry a dead person's head with just a fruit knife.

What's more, this young girl seemed to have an Ability.

Bai Xiaoling quickly gave up struggling and continued to lie on the ground, her two shallow amber eyes sizing up Jiang Zhaosu.

Jiang Zhaosu seemed to sense her gaze and looked back at her.

From their eye color alone, it was clear this girl was not Qi Xing's sister.

So what were they going to do with her?

Leave her here?

Without an Ability, the girl probably wouldn't survive long after losing her supplies.

It felt like a waste.

It would be better to keep her around as Reserve Food.

But keeping her would be a bit troublesome.

Kill her here and take her away?

That would be too cruel.

Jiang Zhaosu wasn't hungry at the moment and didn't need to resort to such extreme methods to gather food.

While she was contemplating, the girl spoke first, cautiously asking her, "Are you Ability Users?"

Jiang Zhaosu: "..."

This familiar way of speaking was exactly the same as how Qi Xing probed others' backgrounds.

Jiang Zhaosu knew her own mind wasn't as sharp as Qi Xing's.

Fearing the girl might set a trap, she chose to remain silent.

Perhaps because Jiang Zhaosu looked quite honest, Bai Xiaoling's courage grew as she remained silent, and she started talking more: "I saw you use your Ability just now, it was so cool! I want an Ability too!"

Then you should go eat corpses too.

Jiang Zhaosu silently complained in her mind.

"Why did so many people awaken Abilities, but I didn't. I'm so unlucky! I'm truly the unluckiest person in the world!"

You are not.

Unlucky people aren't born into such wealthy families.

"Every day I stay in this big house, with no internet or electricity, no one to talk to, no one to play with, I'm going crazy from boredom."

Judging from the paintings on the wall and the various easels in the living room, this girl might be studying art.

Most art students were sensitive and prone to melancholy.

In short, they were a bit crazy.

Bai Xiaoling became more and more agitated as she spoke, and suddenly started wailing excitedly.

"I'm going crazy from loneliness! You guys coming here is perfect, hurry up and kill me! I don't want to live in this hell on earth anymore, even Hell would be warmer than here!!!"

Jiang Zhaosu endured it again and again, but when she heard this, she couldn't hold back any longer.

"Fugui, there's too much food here, I can't carry it all by myself, come help me."

At this moment, Qi Xing also walked out of the kitchen and happened to hear Bai Xiaoling's roar, frowning, "Why is it so noisy?"

"If you don't want to live, just say so. I'll help you."

Qi Xing wasn't as patient as Jiang Zhaosu. As he spoke, he drew a short dagger from the strap on his thigh: "Let's start by cutting out your tongue."

Seeing Qi Xing instantly flash the sharp, silvery-white blade, with no hint of joking.

Bai Xiaoling, who had been crying and shouting about wanting to die moments ago, nimbly scrambled up from the ground and ran around the living room screaming.

"Ahhhhhhh!!!"

"No, no, no!!! Brother! Brother, I was just kidding! I was just talking big!! I don't want to die ahhhh!!!"

The nearly one hundred square meter living room now seemed exceptionally cramped.

Bai Xiaoling was chased by Qi Xing, who moved like a Murderer, her heart pounding with fear. She didn't know where to run and ended up diving behind Jiang Zhaosu.

Qi Xing was stunned by Bai Xiaoling's intelligence and stopped in his tracks.

Jiang Zhaosu was also taken aback when the girl grabbed her clothes.

She felt like she had been guarding against this girl for nothing.

She was just a fool!

Jiang Zhaosu turned her head to look at Bai Xiaoling, who was trembling like a chick hiding behind her.

Qi Xing also looked at her silently.

Bai Xiaoling, who had stopped screaming and suddenly felt the world go quiet: "..."

She looked at Jiang Zhaosu, then at Qi Xing. Under their pitying gazes, she asked hesitantly and fearfully, "You... you're not going to kill me?"

Jiang Zhaosu finally spoke, her voice slow as she answered Bai Xiaoling's initial question word by word: "I, am, not, an Ability User."

"Huh?"

Bai Xiaoling was still confused.

Jiang Zhaosu continued, "I, am, a Zombie."

As she finished, she suddenly opened her mouth, revealing sharp fangs, and lunged at Bai Xiaoling.

"Ah—"

Bai Xiaoling screamed, her hand releasing Jiang Zhaosu's skirt. She finally fainted from fright and collapsed on the ground.

Of course, Jiang Zhaosu hadn't actually bitten down; she was just scaring the girl.

Seeing Bai Xiaoling on the ground, Jiang Zhaosu curiously kicked her with her foot. Bai Xiaoling's body swayed limply a few times, her eyes still closed.

"Scared, to death?"

"If she's scared to death, it's perfect. We can just throw her out the seventeenth-floor window and won't have to take the stairs to carry her. We still have a lot of stuff to move."

Qi Xing stood still, only saying, "Come on, Fugui, let's lift her up and throw her down together."

"No!"

Bai Xiaoling, who had been unconscious moments before, suddenly sat up with a jolt, raising her hands. "I can help you move things! Big brother, big sister, please don't eat me..."

Bai Xiaoling's home had more food and bottled water than Qi Xing and Jiang Zhaosu had imagined. If they could move it all into the car, Qi Xing wouldn't have to worry about food for the next six months.

Having an extra slave would always save some effort.

For this reason, Bai Xiaoling's life was temporarily spared.

Under the oppression of her two slave masters, Qi Xing and Jiang Zhaosu, she began to move supplies without complaint.

However, she didn't walk more than a few steps, only moving things from the kitchen and storage room to the living room window.

There was too much to move, and the three of them couldn't possibly carry it all in one trip. Taking the stairs was too tiring, so Qi Xing used his Ability, employing vines to transport everything downstairs.

Besides food and water, Bai Xiaoling's home was stocked with many other supplies: various vegetable seeds, salt and sugar, water purification tablets, medicine, white wine, and even gasoline.

It didn't look like something someone like her, who couldn't even distinguish between different grains, would buy.

Qi Xing accepted it all with a smile.

After clearing out everything useful from Bai Xiaoling's home, Qi Xing magnanimously told her, "I'll spare your life," then picked up Jiang Zhaosu, preparing to jump from the seventeenth floor.

Bai Xiaoling was so tired from moving goods that her back could barely straighten. She tearfully lunged forward and grabbed Qi Xing's leg, almost kneeling before him.

"Brother, if you leave like this, how can I survive alone! You might as well eat me!"

Jiang Zhaosu had thought the same thing just now and agreed with a "woof."

"As Reserve Food for Fugui?"

Qi Xing, holding Jiang Zhaosu with one arm, looked thoughtfully at Bai Xiaoling, who was clinging to his leg. "That could work too."

He suddenly lifted his leg, forcefully flinging Bai Xiaoling off him and out the window. "Then you go first."
