Ch. 6

"Sausages, bread, biscuits, you have collected a lot of supplies. Can I have a pack of sausages?" Lou Ai wiped the blood off the outer packaging of the sausages, and without waiting for Yang Yang and the others to agree, she directly opened the packaging bag, took a bite, ran to sit on a chair, and started playing with her mobile phone.
　　

On her phone is all the information she has collected, all of which are about powerful people whose names she remembers.
　　

If she recognized these people on the road, she would help them if she could. Who knows, one of them might become her future supporter.
　　

"Xia Xing, I'll get a bottle of water to drink." Lou Ai said as she opened another bottle of water and swallowed the last bite of the grilled sausage with the water.
　　

Lou Ai looked at the people's dissatisfied eyes, recalled the wonderful taste of grilled sausages in her human period in her mind, and licked her lips.
　　

These children were too shy to stop her.

Then she would see how long these children could endure her.
　　

Lou Ai was quiet for ten minutes, then stood up again, rummaged through the boxes of supplies, found a box of marshmallows, and without saying a word, opened it and took a bite. The marshmallows tasted like chocolate, very bitter, but the material used in this marshmallow was better, there was no unbearable smell, and the taste was also better.
　　

"Lou Ai, we are going to the restaurants on the first floor to find food tomorrow. Come over and listen to our plan." Yang Yang said.
　　

"Ah, do I have to go too?" Lou Ai refused and accused, "There are the most zombies on the first floor. You guys go ahead and I'll help you keep an eye on the base camp. You guys usually go out without anyone to look after the supplies. What if the supplies are taken away by others? Then we'll be left with nothing?"

"By the way, I don't like this flavor of instant noodles. Let's look for instant noodles with tonkotsu ramen tomorrow. They're delicious." Lou Ai changed the subject and consoled with a smile, "I'm not asking you to come here, but just try your best. It's still best to protect your own safety. If it's not safe, we'd rather not have the supplies, don't you agree?"
　　

"Yeah." Yang Yang nodded, looked at Lou Ai and pursed his lips, but ultimately did not say anything to blame her.

Lou Ai took the marshmallow and sat back on the chair, leaning the back of the chair tightly against the small bed. Xia Shoucheng had already lay down on the bed without knowing when, covered with a quilt, with his eyes closed. It seemed that he could last until seven or eight o'clock in the evening.
　　

Lou Ai took a bite of marshmallow and happily opened her phone to look at the information.
　　

"Why doesn't she treat herself as an outsider?" The crewcut-haired guy had the worst temper. He whispered to others, "We shouldn't have brought her back."
　　

"She just gave us canned food. She didn't mean it, did she? Maybe she's just like that?" said the young boy with glasses.
　　

"I hated this character before the apocalypse, too. She was like a relative of ours, not treating herself as an outsider at all. She ate our food and drank our drinks. After dinner, she didn't do anything to deal with the disposable dishes and chopsticks. She consciously put the disposable paper cups next to me. What's more, this is not before the apocalypse. If she doesn't go out to find food in the future, do we still have to keep supporting her?"

"Let's observe for a few more days. If it continues like this, we'll kick her out," said Xia Xing.
　　

"Well, let's talk to her tomorrow. It's best not to make enemies..."

Lou Ai heard the argument between the few people and couldn't help but laugh.

Why don’t you make an enemy? You guys are going to drive her out, why don’t you make an enemy?
　　

They all want to talk to her and ask her to collect supplies instead of making enemies.

"Cough cough cough." A violent coughing sound was heard on the bed, and Lou Ai looked over.
　　

Yang Yang stood up, took a paper cup and poured a glass of water, then walked over: "Grandpa Xia, why are you coughing so badly? Drink some water? You don't have a fever, do you?"

Lou Ai came closer, separating Yang Yang from Grandpa Xia, and reached out to take the water: "I'll feed him."

Lou Ai helped Xia Shoucheng up, put the cup close to his mouth, pretended to do it, and then twisted her arm to feed the water into her own mouth.
　　

"What's wrong with you?" Yang Yang hasn't reacted yet.
　　

"Grandpa Xia said he's not thirsty." Lou Ai said as he put the man on the bed.

"Cough cough cough... cough cough..." Xia Shoucheng's cough became louder, as if he was going to cough out his lungs.
　　

"Nonsense, you didn't even give Grandpa Xia any water." Yang Yang was angry, "Get out of the way."

Xia Xing and the others were also attracted by the noise of the argument. A group of teenagers gathered around and naturally stood beside Yang Yang.
　　

"It's a waste if he drinks it." Lou Ai muttered in a voice that everyone present could hear, "I mean, Grandpa Xia is already so old, and old people can't accept such high-intensity exercise. He also eats junk food. In this world, he can't live well and is just a drag. It's better not to waste resources, don't you think?"

"You?" Someone was so angry that he could only let out an angry sound.
　　

“This is our water.”
　　

"Does the water recognize you? It's my water now."
　　

"Do you have any shame... Do you believe we can kick you out?"
　　

"I don't believe it." Lou Ai waved away Yang Yang's hand and pushed Xia Shoucheng back hard, making a thud sound.
　　

But this represents the mood of all the young people in front of them. Xia Shoucheng is the only adult they know after the end of the world. In their hearts, Xia Shoucheng is probably a very important adult. They don't know whether the death of this adult will devastate them.
　　

The guy with the flat head was the one who couldn't stand being provoked. He picked up the iron rod in his hand and swung it at her angrily: "F#ck, it's the end of the world, and you dare to be so arrogant alone. Don't you know your own weight? Do you believe that we can throw you into the zombie pile?"
　　

The hand swinging the stick is too slow.
　　

Lou Ai reached out to catch it, held it tightly, took the initiative to pull the stick back, and kicked the short-haired guy away.
　　

She dodged the bench thrown by Xia Xing by turning sideways, rushed over, hit Xia Xing's wrist with the iron rod, and kicked Xia Xing's knee at the same time, knocking him backwards and kicking him out.
　　

Lou Ai turned around to avoid the attacks of the boy with glasses and the round-faced boy, threw the iron rod, and knocked one down with one punch.
　　

Everything happened too fast, and Yang Yang felt that he had only used his special ability on Lou Ai for a moment, and then it was all gone. She pulled out the table leg next to her and rushed forward to swing it. Lou Ai gently pulled out the table leg from Yang Yang's hand and hit him at the bend of the knee.
　　

"Ah!" Yang Yang fell to the ground suddenly due to severe pain and couldn't stand up.
　　

Lou Ai threw away the table leg in her hand and clapped her hands: "I originally thought there was a superpower among you, very powerful, so I just coaxed you a little at the beginning, but I didn't expect you to be so weak. I deliberately let this old man bring the water to you, otherwise do you think I would let this old man bring the water back?"

"If you help me find supplies, I can spare your lives."
　　

"There's no need to keep this old man. He's old and slow, and he eats a lot. You never know when he'll be infected with the zombie virus. I know you can't bear to kill him, so don't worry, I'll kill him for you." Lou Ai smiled, took out a dagger from her bag, and then dragged Xia Shoucheng up.
　　

"No." Yang Yang shouted in horror.
　　

"Don't kill Grandpa Xia, Xia Chengcheng is my best friend."
　　

"Grandpa Xia can cook. You can ask him to help clean the house and do logistics work. He won't get in your way."
　　

"We can find more food and give it to you. We will eat less. Please let Grandpa Xia go!"
　　

"It's only been a few days since the end of the world, are you going to kill someone?"
　　

The crying sound suddenly came out, and the crying voice triggered a large series of voices, full of sincerity.
　　

The light in the small storage room was dim, and the panic made the teenagers fail to notice the strangeness on Grandpa Xia's face.
　　

But Lou Ai could clearly see the expressions of the people in front of her. Each of them was filled with anger and despair, and some even had deep hidden hatred. They really wanted Xia Shoucheng to survive.
　　

Lou Ai felt that Grandpa Xia was still conscious.

"Yes, it's only been a few days since the end of the world." Lou Ai murmured in a low voice. She held up Xia Shoucheng's head, "Grandpa Xia, you have to take a good look at them."
　　

"No, I don't want to look." Xia Shoucheng turned his head and clenched his teeth.
　　

"Why didn't you look? Were you already bitten when they rescued you?" In the small storage room, Lou Ai's voice became louder and more clear.
　　

"I was still alive at that time, and I just wanted to survive." Grandpa Xia's voice was hoarse.
　　

"So do you think you did something wrong?"
　　

"I am right……"

"Crack." Yang Yang raised his head and stared at Lou Ai breaking Xia Shoucheng's neck. Only then did he notice in the moonlight that Grandpa Xia's face was covered with purple spots at some point, and only the big whites were left in his wide-open eyes, which was a characteristic of zombies. The tears in the corners of his eyes flowed down his cheeks.
　　

Lou Ai let out a breath. She didn’t know if this education was too harsh, but this group of teenagers had to accept it.

　　

"I'm going to be out for a while. I hope you've dealt with your emotions when I come back. Wish you good growth."

Lou Ai said this, threw down Xia Shoucheng's body and walked out.
　　

When they reached the door, the crewcut-haired guy suddenly stood up and hugged Lou Ai. He was the one who was kicked the farthest and didn't hear what Lou Ai and Xia Shoucheng said. He just wanted to stand up and save people. At this moment, he shouted with tears on his face: "You really killed Grandpa Xia. Xia Chengcheng is my best friend. I will kill you even if it costs me my life."

Xia Xing sat next to him, with a complicated expression: "..."

Lou Ai touched the crewcut-haired man's head, rubbed some oil on his clothes, and pushed him down: "Brother, I'm giving you a blessing, cherish your life?"
