As if sensing her concerns, the system reassured her, "Please rest assured, host, the outside of the cabin cannot be destroyed."

Cang Xingyue nodded, relieved, and put away her Blood Cherry Blade, preparing to go back to sleep.

"Damn you, you zombie beast, die!"

A loud shout came from outside the door, the pecking at the door by the bird-like beast stopped, and its screams followed.

Cang Xingyue, who had just lain down, looked speechless.

Why isn't the cabin soundproof?!

She had just finished complaining in her mind when she heard a whoosh, like the sound of a roller shutter being lowered.

The doors, windows, and walls were all blocked by soundproof curtains, and instantly no sound could get in.

Disturbed one after another, she lost her sleepiness and got up to go to the window, lifting the curtain to look outside.

A girl was standing outside the door, knocking repeatedly: "Is anyone home? Can you open the door?"

Cang Xingyue opened the window, and the girl looked over at the sound.

Cang Xingyue bent down and placed her hand on the window frame, asking coldly, "What are you doing?"

The girl had a sweet and well-behaved appearance, giving off the feeling of a girl next door. She smiled sweetly and ran up to Cang Xingyue.

Hello, is this your home?

"Otherwise? Your home?"

Having been tricked by a stranger once, which harmed her, Cang Xingyue always treats strangers with a cold and distant attitude.

The girl looked embarrassed and stammered, "Don't misunderstand, I... I didn't mean any harm, I just... I was just tired from traveling and wanted to find a place to rest."

Cang Xingyue raised an eyebrow after hearing this and gestured for the girl in front of her to look behind her.

The girl turned around with a puzzled look: "What's wrong?"

"Didn't you see? There are houses all over the place. You could have just picked any one and stayed there. Why would you come all the way to my remote little house asking to stay overnight?"

The girl's eyes darted around, then she gave a dry laugh:

"I was originally planning to rest over there, but when I saw the damage caused by the zombie beasts and the exquisite decoration of the houses, I figured someone must live there, so I came here out of concern."

"I've been traveling all day and I really don't have the energy to go any further, so could you please let me in to rest for a bit? I'll be leaving soon."

The girl looked exhausted as she spoke, and raised her hand to rub her lower back.

Cang Xingyue glanced at the zombie beast's corpse on the ground and asked, "How did you kill it?"

"I forgot to introduce myself. Hello, I am Tang Pipi, a mid-level mist-type ability user."

The girl smiled sweetly again, but Cang Xingyue couldn't see any smile in her eyes; instead, she felt a strange sensation.

Cang Xingyue gave a cold "oh" and straightened up to close the window.

"Hey! Wait! Wait!"

Tang Pipi stepped forward and grabbed the window frame to stop her from closing the window.

"I helped you out, how can you be so cold-hearted? I just want to go inside and rest for a while, can't you even grant me that?"

Cang Xingyue frowned unhappily.

"First of all, let me tell you that whether you kill this zombie beast or not will have no effect on me. Don't try to portray yourself as my savior and morally blackmail me into being grateful to you."

Cang Xingyue warned coldly, "Let go, or I won't hesitate to break your hand."

The person in front of me was really strange; he was very determined to enter the hut.

Moreover, she's a superhuman with special abilities. I don't have any special abilities myself, so if she has ulterior motives, letting her in would be like inviting a wolf into the house.

To her surprise, the person in front of her looked hurt upon hearing her words, tears welling up in their eyes, appearing pitiful and on the verge of sobbing, as if they had suffered a great injustice.

She withdrew her hand and choked up, saying, "I'm sorry, I was just anxious. Actually, I haven't eaten for three days, and I've been traveling for two days and one night. I'm really tired and hungry."

“I came out to find my brother. My brother and I are from the North Dusk Base. Three days ago, our team encountered a horde of zombies. My brother chose to stay behind to save everyone and give us a chance to survive.”

“We agreed on a meeting place, but he didn’t come. I was so worried that I came out to look for him. I’m so tired and hungry now, but I still haven’t found my brother.”

Cang Xingyue looked at the person who was crying with tears streaming down her face, still holding the window open, and listened quietly as she finished speaking.

Only then did she notice that the person in front of her had empty hands and dirty clothes.

Are you hungry?

Tang Pipi nodded vigorously.

"Ask your brother to order takeout for you."

After saying that, she swiftly and decisively pulled the curtains closed.

Tang Pipi was so shocked that she froze on the spot, forgetting to shed tears for a moment. After a long while, she finally came to her senses and burst into curses:

"You beep—are you even human? I beep—don't let me see you again! If I see you, I'll beep, beep, beep—"

……

Tang Pipi pointed to the window, as if Cang Xingyue were standing there, angrily launching into a tirade of birdsong and fragrant flowers, spewing out profanities, and sending telegrams to export culture.

Finally, she got tired of yelling and plopped down on the ground.

However, Sousei Tsuki inside the room didn't hear a thing and was sound asleep on the bed.

In the early morning, warm sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, bringing a touch of light to the dim room.

Lying on the bed, Cang Xingyue slowly woke up with her eyelashes fluttering. She opened her eyes and stretched.

She slept very comfortably and soundly; she couldn't remember the last time she had a good night's sleep.

Once sleep is replenished, hunger will soon follow.

Cang Xingyue got up, went to the locker, took out food and water, ate a quick meal, walked to the window, lifted the curtain, and opened the window to get some fresh air.

As soon as she opened the window, she saw a white mist in front of it. Looking down, she saw Tang Pipi asleep by the window, protected by a shield formed from the mist.

Cang Xingyue was speechless. Was this person going to stay here forever?

"Ugh, brother... Pipi is so hungry." She mumbled in her sleep, her brow furrowed.

Cang Xingyue didn't hear it very clearly, but she vaguely heard her say she was hungry.

Seeing Tang Pipi's pitiful state, she recalled the days when she couldn't afford to eat and how she had longed for the kindness of others. She sighed helplessly, closed the window, and went back to get a pancake.

He took a step with the pancake in his hand, then stopped, looked down at it, and tore it in half, putting one half back on the plate.

Spreading kindness in the apocalypse is undoubtedly asking for trouble, but... seeing a pitiful person inevitably stirs up emotional feelings.

She opened the window again and woke Tang Pipi.

When Tang Pipi woke up, her eyes were blank. She opened her sleepy eyes and made a confused "Hmm?" sound.

Cang Xingyue tossed her the half-pancake in her hand and said, "I only have one pancake left. Here, take this half. Eat it and leave quickly."

To avoid being targeted, she deliberately underestimated the amount of food she was given.

Tang Pipi took the half-pancake and thanked her repeatedly, saying, "Thank you, thank you so much."

Cang Xingyue didn't say anything, and closed the window expressionlessly. This time, she didn't lower the soundproof curtain.
