Origin Paradise!

"Forget it, if the barrier is lifted in seven days, I'll be completely free from the danger of having to go out in shifts."

Tempted by the prospect of having a day off, Han Daoba kept quiet and acquiesced to Qin's father's arrangement. Moreover, since the young lady had no objections, he felt it was even more difficult to express his opinion. This group assignment was particularly important for prestige.

Seeing that both the villa manager and the gunman leader had chosen to acquiesce, the residents who had initially felt it was unfair fell silent, though they harbored resentment in secret. Order had already collapsed. On the first day of the upheaval, Scarface Han had indeed killed several people, and he was clearly a beneficiary of the group. Opposing him now would likely enrage him, and anyone who dared to step forward would face the threat of bullets.

Only the old headmaster wore his displeasure on his face, saying, "How can this be..."

Qin's father interrupted, his tone pleading, "Old Principal, Qin Qin is still young. Even if he goes out, he won't bring anything back. But since we live with everyone, we have an obligation to fulfill our responsibilities."

Upon hearing this, the old headmaster collapsed and fell silent; he could not ask a child to go out and face danger.

Yuan Xin completely gave up on the idea of ​​making changes. Even Qin Qin was in the group, so what face did the others have to shirk their responsibilities and hesitate?

"so be it."

"Hey, isn't this just the same as starting from the second group? It's all the same. I think Qinqin is a cheerful kid."

"We men, of course, have to take the lead."

Everyone seemed to come alive suddenly, and seeing that the matter had been settled, they all started to speak.

Jiang He observed the whole thing. The fact that Qin's father had used a child to this extent was a maximization of resources. Everyone present had different thoughts. Without a framework of order, power and strength would be more advantageous for those who were cunning and ruthless. If you add elements such as goals, responsibilities, beliefs, and justice, then becoming a leader is not an absolute possibility.

"The world's talents are truly as numerous as a river..."

“Then let’s start the second group from the newcomers,” Qin’s father suggested, and gave his reasons. “Those brother and sister are from out of town, so they need to make some contributions and set an example. Xiaohe is familiar with the area, so let’s have them be the second group.”

Jiang He gradually erased his previous thoughts, a hint of hostility appearing in the corner of his eye. He had forgotten why he and this guy didn't get along, but the other party's malice was extremely obvious at the moment.

Yuan Xin hesitated, her youthful indecisiveness stemming largely from uncertainty about the outcome.

The old principal said, "Xiao He is just a child, only seventeen years old this year. Bring a few strong men, and I'll take you out."

……

A meeting is underway by the fire.

"Qinqin, come back here!"

"You can't catch me."

Xiao Qin was jumping around outside the living room, and Qin's mother had no choice but to chase after him.

Suddenly, a face appeared on the glass of the doorway window.

"Qinqin, it's Grandma! It's so cold outside, can you open the door for Grandma?"

Xiao Qin stopped and stared blankly out the window.

Qin's mother stood there, stunned, her expression one of extreme horror. The old woman outside the door was indeed Qin Qin's grandmother, but she had already met with misfortune on the day the upheaval occurred.

"Qinqin, don't move." Qin's mother tried to lower her voice and tiptoed closer.

"Qinqin, Grandma is so cold."

"Qinqin, cover your ears and come over here."

The guardian stone emitted a faint, hazy glow.

Seeing that Qin Qin did not move, Qin's mother gradually calmed down.

Click!

"Grandma, come in quickly."

Qin Qin reached out and unlocked the window. There were no nails on it, so it opened very easily. Because of what his parents had said, he didn't know that what was in front of him was a walking corpse. "Grandma went to a very far place," he said. Now that she had returned, it was reasonable for her to be locked out.

Qin's mother's hands and feet were ice-cold, and she collapsed to the ground.

The moment the doors and windows were opened, more than a dozen long tongues snatched Qin Qin away, and seven or eight zombies scrambled to squeeze through the glass, each with a pale and ferocious face, ready to devour anyone they could find.

"what!"

The screams were so loud they almost pierced my eardrums.

The villa door fell down, and the zombies roaming the entire villa area seemed to have found prey, and they all gathered around.

The nearest zombies broke into the villa. Qin's mother sacrificed herself, using her flesh and blood to buy time for the people having a meeting in the living room, and also used loud screams to warn them.

……

In the living room, the flames in the fireplace burned peacefully and quietly.

"Go away."

Yuan Xin stood there, stunned.

Jiang He's hearing was extraordinary. Long before the screams came, he had already gotten up wrapped in a blanket, picked up the old principal with one hand, and turned to go upstairs to the second floor.

Passing through the porch, several zombies were feasting, with only bloodstains and scattered bones and flesh on the ground. On the third night after the upheaval, the first villa fell.

Chapter 278 Lemon

"what's the situation!"

"Damn it, who opened the door!"

"Don't bite me, please go and eat him instead."

A dozen or so zombies stormed into the villa's living room, and several bewildered residents became their prey. Scarface Han fired his gun repeatedly and ran upstairs with the young lady.

Jiang He shoved the old principal into the next room, closed the door, and reinforced the lock with a few small iron-blooded thorns. Inside, there was rice, water, and a guardian stone, enough to get them through the night.

Si Ning peeked out of her room, looking at the chaotic crowd in the opposite corridor on the second floor, and asked curiously, "Are they playing eagle catching chicks?"

A man desperately tried to stop the zombie, but his wife refused to leave, circling around her husband and the zombie while weeping bitterly.

Jiang He was somewhat shocked by Si Ning's thought process and reached out to push the door open and enter.

"Behave yourself, a bunch of stink bombs are coming."

boom!

The door closed, and the guardian stone beside it glowed faintly.

Si Ning's expression was serious. "How many is a group?"

"At least thirty or forty."

Jiang He wrapped herself in a blanket and lay down on the bed, activating the Descent Mode through Dawn Intelligence.

Upon hearing the number of stink bombs, Si Ning shrank back. The terrifying smell was still fresh in her memory. A mop covered in feces was unbeatable, and she really didn't want to provoke those mobile skunks.

Si Ning turned around and found that someone had already filled the bed.

"Hey, there's only one bed. Shouldn't we discuss who should sleep in it? Do you think it's appropriate?"

Jiang He wrapped herself in the blanket, closed her eyes, and did not answer.

Lilith appeared, leaned close to the other's ear, looked up and smiled, "He said the blanket sealed him away, you're not allowed to touch him."

Jiang He remained silent. If he said "fake," he would lose. There was only one bed, and he didn't think it was necessary to give it to Si Ning. That scumbag woman should sleep on the floor.

……

First floor, luxurious master bedroom.

Seven or eight residents ran into the room. Han Daoba slammed the door shut, his eyes fixed on the guardian stone hanging on the wall, placing all his hopes on it.

Everyone held their breath and waited for several minutes until a series of miserable wails came from next door. Only then did they breathe a sigh of relief. The storage room next door was not equipped with a guardian stone, and the fact that the zombies chose to take a longer route instead of attacking the master bedroom meant that the guardian stone was still working.

"Someone has definitely opened the door!"

"There is a traitor among us!"

Suppressing his worries for his wife and children, Qin's father stepped forward and said, "We were having a meeting in the living room at the time, and the only woman who was with Jiang He was absent. Eliminating all other possibilities, she is definitely the traitor."

After a moment's hesitation, someone said, "Your wife and children weren't there at the time either."

Qin's father, as if humiliated, angrily said, "When we passed by, there was only a pool of blood at the door!"

Seeing his agitation, Scarface Han comforted him, "We'll know tomorrow whether that woman is dead or alive."

Qin's father sat down, holding his head in his hands. At that moment, he desperately hoped that the woman wearing the cat mask was dead, otherwise the responsibility of opening the door and causing the death of a resident would leave him completely isolated.

"Do you want to reunite with your wife and children?"

While Han Daoba was still discussing countermeasures with Yuan Xin, a mentally challenged young man who called himself Ajiu walked over.

Qin's father stood up, trembling all over, and roared with bloodshot eyes, "Of course I want to! You have no idea how worried I am about them, but opening the door will render the protective stone useless. I'm doing this for everyone's sake!"

"It's alright, I'll grant your wish."

Jiang He had already completed his descent. He controlled the Dawn Man Ajiu to hold Qin's father's head with both hands. With just a slight activation of his internal energy, Qin's cervical vertebrae were broken into several pieces.

thump!

Qin's father collapsed to the ground, dead, his expression utterly bewildered.

Not only him, but all seven people present were also stunned.

“Dead…dead?” Yuan Xin was at a loss. As a native of Anping, she had seen many corpses on the roadside since she was a child, but this was the first time she had witnessed a killing with her own eyes, thanks to her father’s deliberate protection.

Han Scarface shielded the young lady behind him and reached for his sidearm at his waist.

"Ah Jiu, don't test my limits. Give everyone a reason."

"Ah Jiu" said nonchalantly, "His children and wife opened the door, but he tried to shift the blame to my sister. We'll know if we just go to the villa tomorrow morning and take a look. There's a high probability that there are traces left by the zombies eating."

“Your intelligence is fine,” Scarface Han said nervously. “Sit in the corner and don’t push me before dawn.”

"A-Jiu" sat down in the corner indifferently. Jiang He ended his descent mode. In essence, Qin's father was no threat to him, but keeping this guy around was a complete test of his patience.

Everyone in the master bedroom was wide awake and stared at each other until dawn.

……

By the morning of the fourth day, the zombies had already left the villa.

In his room on the second floor, Jiang He woke up on the bed. He had slept for two hours, and with his current physical condition, deep sleep was enough to restore all his energy.

A faint fragrance lingers around you; it's not from any perfume or skincare product, but more like the slightly bitter, refreshing scent of squeezed lemon peel.

Jiang He turned her head to the side, and Lemon Man, who was sleeping upright, was just a pillow away from her.

Si Ning clasped her hands together on her lower abdomen, wearing pajamas that looked like lemon peels, and a lemon headpiece covering her little head, making her look like a lemon that had come to life.

Bang!

Lilith somehow obtained some fireworks; as the fragments fell and dissipated, she said with a bright smile:

"Hint: You have completed the 'Sleeping in the Same Bed, Dreaming Different Dreams' achievement. The baby is in the lemon man's belly and will be born tomorrow."

Jiang He ignored it, got out of bed to wash up, and then began making the alchemical vitality potion.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Scarface Han came and knocked on the door.

Si Ning woke up groggily, curled up in the blanket, and then somersaulted up. In just a few seconds, she had changed into her third black sports sweatshirt with "Welcome to New Las Vegas" printed on it.

"The early bird catches the worm."

Si Ning muttered to herself, sitting cross-legged on the bed and taking out a sealed bag of dried lemons from her inventory. The short-term isolation by the protective barrier wouldn't cause her to run out of water or food; players all had similar reserves to deal with unforeseen circumstances.

"Come and gather, the walkers are all gone." Han Scarface glanced at the young woman inside, and after confirming that she was alive, Ajiu's words became much more credible.

Jiang He went out to let the old principal out, and the four of them went downstairs together.

"You know, lemons..." Si Ning chewed continuously, "who invented them?"

"Maybe there was a group of lemon people living in prehistoric times," Jiang He replied perfunctorily.

The group went to the living room. After a night, only twelve people remained in Villa No. 1; the rest had been killed by the zombies.

"I have two pieces of news, one good and one bad. Which do you want to hear first?" Han Daoba said.

"Good news, isn't it?" The old headmaster said, sounding exhausted.

"The good news is that our food supply has become very plentiful, enough to last for half a month," Han Scarface told a dark joke, and continued, "The bad news is that the committee requires us not to go out for the next few days, and we need to do our best to prevent the spread of panic."

Yuan Xin said, "I plan to distribute all the supplies equally to everyone. Also, we must repair the broken doors and windows before dark. Let's all work together."

The speech was utterly uninspiring... Si Ning silently munched on a dried lemon, her enthusiasm for life at Villa No. 1 completely shattered.
