Quick Transmigration: The Villainous Female Supporting Character Became the Male Lead's Beloved

"Before the apocalypse, it was just a huge private estate. After the outbreak, as the situation worsened, its owner turned it into the White Sparrow Base, specifically to help homeless people or those separated from their families."

Of course, the aid wasn't free. As more and more people moved into the base, food and clothing became a problem. So the leader divided them into small teams and sent them out every day to find water and food. The team with the most fruitful harvest could rest for a while before going out again.

My uncle is doing very well over there. There are high walls around it. The greater one's contribution to the base, the better the food, clothing, and shelter. It's kind of a sanctuary. There are many zombies, but they can't get in.

They also have things to protect themselves when they go out, including firearms and ammunition.

Jiang Yundao.

The faces of the crowd were etched with the marks of travel and weariness, their nerves constantly on edge. Only upon hearing this did they find a moment of relief, revealing expressions of longing.

Ji Yu smiled without saying a word. In the darkness, the gold-rimmed glasses reflected the emotions in his eyes. Although the corners of his lips were curved into a beautiful arc, his pupils were filled with coldness and murderous intent.

Ni Qing also revealed a longing expression, secretly observing the male lead without making a sound.

As expected, Ji Yu hated this place to the core; the White Sparrow Base was his residence before his rebirth.

"What are your plans? Do you have somewhere to go? Why don't we all go together? That way we can look out for each other and at least it won't be so dangerous."

An Ran looked at the young man with a warm smile. Her gentle expression had a healing quality that made people unable to look away.

“Yeah, Ni Qing, let’s go together. What if you take the title of school beauty and there’s no one to succeed you?” Jiang Yun also chimed in casually.

Ji Yu's figure disappeared into the darkness, his smile remaining largely unchanged. Under everyone's gaze, a soft light seemed to flicker in his eyes, and his voice was deep and pleasant: "May I consider it?"

Ni Qing's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she subconsciously revealed a joyful expression: "Okay—" The next moment, she seemed to realize something, and looked at Ji Yu with timid and expectant eyes, weakly asking: "Is it okay?"

The young man chuckled softly and slowly walked up to her. Ni Qing, who was sitting on the ground, subconsciously took a step back, but was immediately intimidated by his gaze.

She pressed her lips together, her entire body on high alert. No one could see Ji Yu's expression, only his gentle voice: "Since my little sister wants to go, of course I, as her brother, must agree..."

After speaking, he reached out his somewhat pale and slender hand and gently touched the girl's hair.

She stood frozen in place, her inner fear growing ever larger like a bottomless pit. The young man leaning down in front of her was like a bright moon and a gentle breeze, but his dark eyes were deep and unfathomable, like a dark pool in the night, chilling and sinister.

That was an expression that no one else could see, an expression that only his lovely sister could enjoy.

An Ran said in a strange tone, "Teacher Ji and my sister have such a good relationship. Some people said you two didn't get along before."

"Really?" Jiang Yun sensed that something was wrong with Ni Qing. "Why is your face so pale?"

Ni Qing smiled and said reluctantly, "None of your business."

The crouching figure seemed pleased, a laugh escaping from its lips, its Adam's apple bobbing slightly, making the girl's ears tingle.

Jiang Yun pouted in confusion.

-

The joy of being reunited after a long separation made everyone happy, and they spent one of the most peaceful nights in the apocalypse. Just as Yan Lei said, their team's food supplies were running low, and they couldn't bring themselves to share their food with Ji Yu.

After some discussion, we decided to try searching in the nearest city first.

Given that Chen Nini was too young, and Guo Xiaoyan and Ni Yueguo were middle-aged and not very agile, in order to avoid holding them back, the group asked them to stay where they were and wait.

Before long, they found the nearest city. Each of them was agile and moved like a nimble wildcat, silently avoiding the horde of corpses.

The dilapidated city was shrouded in gray, and mindless zombies roamed the streets, devoid of any sign of life.

Soon, a giant underground supermarket appeared before them. They exchanged glances and Yan Lei and Ji Yu went first.

The inside was dark and seemingly still, with a wide variety of food items on the shelves, covered in a thick layer of dust from the long period of time.

The young man in black glanced around, his brows suddenly furrowing slightly, his small, amber-like pupils gleaming with an unreadable light.

The lighting was dim, so everyone could only carefully check the production date before putting the items into their backpacks.

Jiang Yun was full of energy and dragged Ni Qing, who was just there to make up the numbers, to the snack area to choose some. The rest of the people went their separate ways, leaving only An Ran and Ji Yu together.

With no one around, An Ran could no longer contain her excitement and secretly peeked at the young man selecting food.

"Um, what are you planning to do after you go to the White Sparrow Base, Teacher Ji?" she asked shyly, raising her eyes.

If the light were any brighter, she might have seen the usually gentle and refined young man's expressionless face, his lips tightly pressed together. Without even looking up, he lazily said, "I have no plans. Miss An, you'd better hurry up, or you might run into trouble..."

An Ran's smile faltered for a moment, and she said quietly, "Then I'll go find something else first."

The young man's slightly irritated voice rang out: "Hmm."

Anyone with eyes could tell he wasn't very happy. There wasn't even a shadow of zombies in the supermarket, so it was unclear why Ji Yu was suddenly so indifferent.

An Ran had the advantage of being perceptive; she turned around and went to a spot not far away to start making her selections.

Before long, everyone's empty backpacks were overflowing.

Ni Qing was pulled around by Jiang Yun and also took a lot of milk, ham sausages and cookies, all of which were small snacks and took up space.

She originally just wanted to be a laid-back person, but then she thought about the little kid outside and decided to take him all in.

"Has everyone finished searching? Shall we head back?" Yan Lei asked, his narrow eyes scanning the number of people.

Everyone nodded and was about to take a step when a blinding incandescent light suddenly appeared overhead.

The sudden burst of light caught everyone off guard, and they instinctively became on guard.

"You took the food from my territory and you're just going to leave?" A hoarse male voice rang out, sounding to be around forty or fifty years old, like that of an old smoker.

"Who is it?" An Ran looked around warily.

After a long while, a group of fully armed men appeared on the inconspicuous shelf.

They were all strong, with menacing faces and fierce expressions; they didn't look like good people at first glance.

The worst part is that they were carrying guns.

Although they were only equipped with three or four pistols, they were still a great deterrent compared to Yan Lei's squad, who were unarmed.

The speaker stood in the middle, wearing a thick gold chain around his neck and a hideous scar near his left eye.

The expressions on everyone's faces changed slightly, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense. They were at a disadvantage in terms of both numbers and weapons. Throughout the whole process, only Ji Yu remained calm, seemingly unsurprised.

He said lazily, "Your territory?"
