Looking at the bodies of zombies scattered on the ground, Lu Hao set several fires and burned them to ashes.

The family was also a bit tired, so they returned to the living room to rest for a while.

At this time, Grandma Li Xiuying came out from the Space and said Lin Yunguo had already prepared lunch, and told everyone to go in and eat directly.

After a cheer, Lin Xiuyuan conscientiously ran to lock the door and pull the curtains before being the last one to enter the Space.

After disinfecting and washing their hands, Su Jin even took out the alcohol they had gathered from the pharmacy earlier and sprayed everyone, only then feeling relieved enough to head to the dining table to prepare for the meal.

Lin Yunguo had actually finished cooking the meal a while ago, but the Space’s preservation feature was so outstanding that the food was still steaming hot and fragrant. After a morning of battle, everyone felt incredibly hungry and wolfed down their food.

Especially Lin Xiuyuan, who felt that his appetite had grown enormously. Previously able to eat two bowls of rice, he could now eat five or six.

“Xiuyuan, eat slowly, don’t eat too much and have indigestion,” Li Xiuying said with a smile.

“No way, Grandma, I exercised a lot today. Let me tell you, it was really tough over at Old Xiao’s house today…”

While eating, Lin Xiuyuan talked with his family about what the three of them had encountered at Old Xiao’s house.

When they heard that the whole family of Old Xiao had turned into zombies, Lin Yunguo and Li Xiuying also felt quite distressed. They had been neighbors for several decades, and although not very close, they would always greet each other with smiles. His little grandson often came to play with Mao Qiqi too.

When it came to Old Xiao’s tenant, Su Jin couldn’t help but give Lu Hao another look, surprised by his sharp observation, remembering how he had been able to guess her slight discomfort before.

The family had nothing but contempt for the young man’s actions—an adult male abandoning the safety of his girlfriend without a second thought. Even if he was saved, he would only be a liability.

Furthermore, they had never intended to take in unrelated people; they were willing to help when necessary, but their principle was never to bring trouble into their home.

Meanwhile, the young man upstairs in Old Xiao’s house was still eagerly waiting for the return of Lu Hao and the others, worrying whether they might have already been eaten by zombies. Thinking of his girlfriend and Old Man Zhang’s corpses outside the door, he covered his head with a blanket in frustration, comforting himself that he hadn’t intentionally abandoned her. It was better for her to die for his sake than for both of them to die together…

The food prepared by Lin Yunguo was soon polished off by the family, even the rice in the cooker was all gone, and only a few minutes had passed after they came out of the Space.

After coming out, Lu Hao noticed his phone vibrating. He usually kept it on vibrate mode. Seeing an incoming call from Guo Yang, it seemed that the kid was okay now.

“Lu Hao, it’s me, the method you suggested really worked, both of them have already stopped having fevers!”

An excited voice came from the phone, from Xue Wanyi.

Lying on the bed, Guo Yang watched Xue Wanyi, using his phone to report to Lu Hao, thinking, couldn’t this guy untie the ropes on him first…

At that moment, Liao Yifan walked in drowsy. Xue Wanyi looked at him and froze—he remembered he had tied both people up securely just a while ago. How did the female police officer manage to untie herself?

“What’s wrong?”

Noticing that the other side had gone silent, Lu Hao asked in confusion.

Xue Wanyi switched the phone to speaker and told Lu Hao about Liao Yifan’s situation.

Liao Yifan, standing by the doorframe with hands in pockets, said in confusion, “You tied it very loosely. The rope broke as soon as I moved.”

“How is that possible? I tied a professional knot used for mountaineering, and your hands and feet were secured; there’s no way you could have broken free,” Xue Wanyi asserted, pointing out he had tied them tightly, just like Guo Yang, who was still securely tied up.

It seemed he had forgotten to untie Guo Yang?

“Liao Yifan must have awakened a Power Element Special Ability, which is why your ropes couldn’t hold her,”

Lu Hao’s voice came from the phone.

“Special Ability? Are you talking about me?” Liao Yifan pointed to her nose and asked.

“Fanfan, hurry up and untie the ropes for me,”

Listening to Guo Yang’s cheeky call for Liao Yifan by her nickname, Lu Hao then heard screams followed by Liao Yifan’s angry voice, “I told you not to call me that!”

After a while, Xue Wanyi’s voice returned, “Guo Yang? Guo Yang? Wake up, are you okay?”

“I just lightly punched him, I didn’t use much force…”

Liao Yifan, seeing that Guo Yang appeared to have been knocked out by her, murmured apologetically.
