Hanan's eyes sparkled as he looked at Su Ling. He put down his knife, then opened the bag hanging from his chest. His dirty little hands took out the crystal cores and held them with both hands.
He held the crystal cores up to Su Ling with his tender hands, still stained with dirt and brains, and smiled, "For big sister."
Su Ling looked, her eyes instantly reddened. She gently stroked Hanan's head, "Okay, thank you, my baby."
Picking up the crystal cores, Su Ling carefully placed them in her bag. She smiled at Hanan, "You're so good, keep it up. Big sister really likes the crystal cores you gave me."
Praised, Hanan smiled shyly. He stepped forward and kissed Su Ling's cheek, "Big sister, I will keep it up."
After kissing and speaking, Hanan turned and ran.
Su Ling watched the little guy's retreating back, her smile deepening. She looked at the knife the little guy had dropped, picked it up, and chased after him. When she caught up to the little guy, she handed him the knife, "Knives are dangerous, be careful when using them, don't hurt yourself."
Hanan took the knife, looked up at Su Ling, and nodded obediently.
After this small interlude, Su Ling returned to her original spot and continued to dig for crystal cores.
It was almost noon when Su Ling and the others found a house. After killing the mutated zombies inside, they prepared lunch.
Su Ling found it troublesome. As Gu Shangse entered the kitchen to prepare lunch, she had already taken out the lavish bento boxes she had prepared and stored in her space before the apocalypse.
When Gu Shangse came out with a pot, he saw Su Ling holding a bento box and looking at him.
As for Sister Na and Hanan, they had already opened their bento boxes and started eating.
Gu Shangse put down the pot and walked towards Su Ling, taking the bento box she handed him.
Holding it in his hand, still warm, Gu Shangse raised his eyebrows slightly.
Ever since she suddenly produced so many things yesterday, he had been in a state of shock.
Now, seeing her hand him a still-warm bento box, the shock in his heart was beyond words.
He knew she had the ability to store things, but he hadn't expected it to also maintain their condition, as if they had just been put in and taken out.
He suddenly realized that perhaps she didn't need his protection at all.
Even if she went through the apocalypse alone, she would be invincible.
On the contrary, their existence had become her burden and hindrance.
But it didn't matter. She was strong, so he would strive to become stronger and catch up to her.
She liked crystal cores, so he would give her crystal cores from now on, as many as possible.
Compared to Su Ling's Longjiang Pork Trotter Rice bento box, the Jiang Jiang trio's meal was much simpler.
Their lunch was instant noodles with ham.
Although it was far from the lavish breakfast, the three of them didn't complain at all. Each of them scooped a large bowl and squatted on the ground to eat.
A good life needs to be enjoyed, but hardship must also be endured. One must have the foresight to plan for contingencies.
One cannot get used to a comfortable life and forget that they should experience these hardships.
They were already very lucky, compared to most survivors.
Moreover, they were just making do for lunch. They could have a hearty meal when they returned at night, which was wonderful.
Jiang Jiang ate quickly. He finished his large bowl of instant noodles soon. Then, holding the crystal cores he had collected, he squatted on the ground. He used a piece of paper to wipe the crystal cores clean before putting them back into his backpack.
He knew his big sister liked these colorful stones. He wanted to take them back for her.
Fatty glanced at Jiang Jiang, who was wiping the crystal cores, then his gaze fell on the half-mask he was wearing to cover his face. Curiosity drove him to ask, "Jiang Jiang, why are you wearing this half-mask to cover your face?"
