This Was Practically Invincible Defense!

After hearing the first part, Xue Dong looked somewhat surprised. What script? Were they playing a murder mystery game?

But when he heard those two people mentioned afterward, his expression suddenly darkened, and an involuntary mocking smile curled across his lips.

Parents? He didn't have parents who had ignored his and his sister's cries for help and abandoned them! If what the script said was true, he didn't believe those two beasts would come looking for him and his sister for no reason. Who knew what they were plotting?

The others had already grown accustomed to occasionally hearing these inner thoughts and did not show much surprise. At most, they were curious about who those parents were.

After all, anyone Shen Mo mocked in that tone probably wasn't a good person. If they ever ran into them, they would have to be careful.

However, Su Ze keenly noticed Xue Dong's unusual reaction, and a glint flickered in his eyes.

Their situation was not exactly safe right now, so he could only wait until later to verify his suspicions. Su Ze quickly found the key he needed in the box. After pressing it and seeing the lights on the RV come on, he confirmed it was correct and tossed it to Yang Xuan.

Then, with a smile that did not reach his eyes, he said to everyone, "This place doesn't seem very safe. Let's get in the car and leave as soon as possible. We can talk about everything else later."

Only then did everyone remember their situation. They smiled awkwardly, climbed into the vehicle, and casually found places to rest.

No one noticed that as they got into the vehicle, Xue Xue, who had been lying quietly in Xue Dong's arms without any reaction, turned her head to glance in Shen Mo's direction. A faint glimmer seemed to flash through her dull eyes.

Under the cover of night, the vehicle began moving. Seconds turned into minutes, and several hours later, the car finally drove into the villa.

Driving at night could bring all sorts of dangers. Everyone had prepared themselves to face danger, yet even after several hours, when the vehicle entered the villa, nothing happened.

Cui Yang got out of the car. As he stared at the unusually quiet night, which even carried a hint of eeriness, an inexplicable unease rose in his heart.

He frowned. A soldier's instincts made him mutter to himself, "We got back far too smoothly today. I can't shake this uneasy feeling, like something bad is about to happen."

"Look! Why has the moon in the sky turned red?" Yang Xuan happened to glance up at the sky and immediately shouted at everyone with a face full of shock.

Shen Mo looked up, and his expression changed drastically. "Move, get back into the villa now."

[Crimson Blood Moon, Black Rain descends.]

[Black Rain is about to fall. Its corrosiveness rivals acid rain. While evolving zombies, it can also infect people with the virus. This is practically a second apocalypse!]

After hearing his words, everyone sprinted toward the villa like a gale, moving so fast they nearly left afterimages behind.

Shen Mo was pulled along by Shen Yue at the very back. The moment he stepped inside, he heard the familiar system notification.

[Absolute Defense has been attacked by Black Rain. Attack ineffective.]

His eyes flashed. This Absolute Defense was truly invincible. It was absolutely the pinnacle of defensive abilities!

After returning home, Leng Shiyi used his ability to fill the water tank, and the generator hummed. Once hot water had been prepared, everyone began taking turns bathing.

Ladies first. Shen Yue led the quiet Xue Xue inside with her. Xue Xue remained quiet the entire time, without the slightest resistance.

"Sis, bring some clean clothes in." Like firing cannonballs, Shen Mo threw several dresses at Shen Yue, every color imaginable.

The clothes flying at her nearly buried Shen Yue. With dark lines across her face, she picked out a black dress suitable for herself and a white dress suitable for Xue Xue, then threw the rest back at Shen Mo. "These two are enough."

Shen Mo called toward the door, "I collected a lot of clothes. They can be worn as pajamas. I put the rest in your room, Sis."

Only after a long while did a muffled response come from inside. "...Okay."

Shen Mo smiled, then turned and left, failing to notice the strange look Xue Dong gave him from beside him.

Hehe, Sis is so cute. I need to dress Sis up beautifully.

Shen Yue, who was washing Xue Xue's hair, nearly slipped and fell.

With that doting tone, who exactly was supposed to be the older sister here?
