Apocalypse: Why did you provoke her? She's a cultivator.

Chapter 39 Did you kill him?
"Thank you for saving us," the little girl said gratefully.

After saying thank you, she turned around and helped the little boy up.

The little boy opened his mouth as if to say something, but before he could speak, the little girl covered his mouth and gestured for him to stop talking.

Then the two of them stood there in silence.

Ye Qiu Mian raised an eyebrow; these two kids were quite wary.

"Who are these two zombies?" Ye Qiumian asked directly.

The little girl glanced furtively at the zombies, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "They're our mom and dad."

"How did they turn into zombies?" Ye Qiumian asked again.

The little girl tilted her head and thought for a moment, then told the truth: "I don't really know either. This morning when I woke up, my parents noticed something was wrong with me, so they told us to close the door and not to open it no matter what noises came from inside."

Later, she went out into the yard and saw through the window that they had turned into zombies.

Only then did I realize they had turned into zombies.

She was terrified that they might escape, so she and her brother stayed at the door the whole time.

Until Ye Qiumian appeared.

If Ye Qiu Mian had arrived even a little later, the siblings would probably be dead.

Ye Qiumian frowned. According to her, her parents were fine last night, but they started to mutate this morning.

This is a bit strange.

As far as she knew, the only reason someone could inexplicably mutate into a zombie was on the first day of the apocalypse.

The way people eventually turned into zombies was either by being scratched or bitten by zombies.

So this mutation happened for no reason, there must have been something unknown behind it.

It seems Lincheng is in danger!

Ye Qiu Mian looked down at the siblings, "These two zombies can't be kept alive. Do you have any other relatives?"

The little girl shook her head. "No more."

"So, do you want to come with me?" Ye Qiumian asked.

Just when Ye Qiu Mian thought the siblings would definitely come with her, the little girl shook her head again.

"We want to stay here."

There were supplies left by her parents in the house, which could help her and her younger brother survive.

If she took the supplies and went with this woman, she didn't know if the supplies would be safe.

Her mother had told her that the military had relief food, and that they could go and get more relief food when they ran out of supplies.

She had promised her mother that she would raise her younger brother well.

Ye Qiumian was a little surprised, not expecting that the little girl would choose to stay.

Well, everyone has their own destiny, and she should respect his fate.

Since the little girl has chosen to stay, she will respect her choice.

Ye Qiumian turned around and kicked the door open, swiftly and decisively killing the two zombies inside.

"She killed Mom and Dad, waaaaah..." The little boy cried out in grief, tears streaming down his face.

The little girl patted his head and gently comforted him, "Your mom and dad are dead. Those are zombies, not our mom and dad."

As she spoke, she stubbornly looked away, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

Ye Qiumian thought that the siblings still had to live here, and the zombie corpses would rot if left unattended.

She simply took a bed sheet and wrapped the zombie corpse in it.

"I'll take the zombie corpse with me. Take care of yourselves. If you have any problems, go to the military building for help."

Ye Qiu Mian left a few words and cast a cleansing spell on the room before leaving.

After leaving the courtyard, Ye Qiumian released her fire elemental power, burning the two zombie corpses to ashes.

The reason she didn't burn the body inside the house was that she didn't want her two children to witness their parents being burned to ashes.

That would be far too cruel.

After dealing with the two corpses, Ye Qiumian began to explore the vicinity and, sure enough, encountered two more houses with zombies inside.

When Ye Qiumian arrived, the people inside were screaming in terror and running around in all directions. One family ran out without even closing the door, and the zombies were already wandering into the alley.

After dealing with the zombies from two different places, they happened to run into a team of superhumans sent by the military to search for zombies.

The one leading them was Chu Qingyang.

After Wu Tong died, Li Hongbo learned that there were only a few people left in the team he led.

He was so angry that he couldn't sleep for several days, and even thought about dragging Wu Tong out and whipping his corpse in the middle of the night.

A perfectly good team, but Wu Tong, in his quest for revenge, decimated it, leaving hardly any survivors.

And then there's Zheng Shuxue, that troublemaker. If it weren't for the fact that she's still useful, he would definitely have dealt with her according to military law.

However, thinking about the person who killed Wu Tong, Li Hongbo also had his own ideas.

Upon learning of Wu Tong's death, the resentment that had been weighing on Chu Qingyang's heart suddenly vanished.

He brought along the men who had previously followed Wu Tong and volunteered to Li Hongbo, successfully being recruited.

Chu Qingyang looked at the zombie in front of Ye Qiumian with a complicated expression.

He inquired about how Wu Tong died, and it was said that he had offended a woman named Ye Qiumian.

He happened to know Ye Qiu Mian; he had almost offended her back in Pinglian County because of that man surnamed Chen.

I never expected to run into her while I was out searching for zombies.

And it seems she also killed a zombie.

"Did you kill this zombie?" Chu Qingyang asked cautiously.

"Otherwise what?" Ye Qiu Mian rolled her eyes at him speechlessly. "Did you kill him?"

Chu Qingyang: "..."

He only asked one question; he didn't say she wasn't the one who killed her.

As expected, she was still as difficult to talk to as ever.

"Do you know where these zombies came from?"

Ye Qiumian pointed to a house on the right.

Chu Qingyang nodded knowingly, then turned and pointed to two people, "You two go and search that place, and the rest of you search the nearby places as well."

After he finished assigning the task and went to check on Ye Qiu Mian, she was already gone.

Chu Qingyang couldn't help but chuckle, feeling both relieved and inexplicably disappointed.

When Ye Qiu Mian saw that Li Hongbo had sent people to search, it must be because they had discovered the unusual situation of zombies appearing in the city.

Since someone else is taking care of it, she doesn't need to worry about it anymore.

Not long after she returned to her residence, Nan Shaohua arrived with supplies.

"Where have you been these past few days? I've been knocking on your door for days, but you've never been home."

Nan Shaohua carried two bags of supplies and handed them to her as soon as she opened the door.

"This is what I brought back for you."

As he spoke, he handed over another bag, saying, "This is a bag of food that the Xiao family gave us each after they moved here."

"By the way, it seems the Xiao family has met some important people. They said they're moving out after this month."

Ye Qiumian listened with a disinterest and then closed the door.

She didn't care who they knew; she wasn't interested at all.

All she can think about now is to cultivate as quickly as possible so she can return to the cultivation world soon.

Nan Shaohua looked at the tightly closed door and was met with a cold shoulder.

He awkwardly touched his nose, then turned and went back.

Ye Qiumian ate a serving of spirit rice, a serving of pan-fried yellow croaker, and a serving of mushroom and chicken.

Then I had a good night's sleep.

She hadn't slept in a long time. Although cultivators don't need to sleep, sometimes they can cultivate for several days, go into seclusion for several months, or even a year.

This is to make up for the chapter I missed updating the day before yesterday. Also, if you see any typos, please help correct them! It can be corrected in the first few days, but it gets locked after a while. Thank you!
