The system's task requires these people to survive tonight.
Yet, in the current situation,
Inside the calm warehouse, there seems to be no crisis.
The group just found a place to rest early after dinner.
---
Chen Jin found an unopened blanket in the corner of the warehouse.
Upon discovery, he quickly tore open the packaging and handed it to Wang Lei with a smile.
Wang Lei sweetly said thank you.
Then she took the blanket to the corner, wrapped it around herself, leaned against the wall, and closed her eyes, ready to sleep.
As for Chen Jin?
He just found a random place and laid down some paper cardboard.
As he lay there, looking at the ceiling, he couldn't help but think about Wang Lei's sweet smile just now.
"This pig is beyond help!"
Li Huang wore a look of utter speechlessness as he lay leaning against the wall.
Beside her was her sister, covered with a thin blanket, already asleep.
The blanket belonged to Bai Yin, and he only had this one in his bag.
Since he wanted to get along harmoniously with these people, naturally, contributing the blanket was undoubtedly a good choice.
Li Huang and Li Xin are siblings.
In other words, compared to Chen Jin and Wang Lei, two independent individuals,
Whether the towel is given to Li Huang or Li Xin,
It would gain the goodwill of both siblings.
---
Can't give it to Wang Lei because Chen Jin would get jealous.
Even more so, can't give it to Chen Jin because he would give it to Wang Lei.
And at the same time, make the siblings look down on this behavior.
Who knows, they might even be secretly dissatisfied.
---
Bai Yin has always been puzzled why the task is to ensure their safety tonight.
This statement sounds as if something extremely terrible would happen to them tonight.
Bai Yin stood by the window, observing the scenery outside by the moonlight.
"Woof woof!"
Blackie's barking came from the depths of the warehouse at this moment.
Seems like he found something.
The sound wasn't loud.
"What's wrong?"
Li Huang was surprised, looking at Bai Yin.
"Maybe he found something, I'll go check it out!"
Bai Yin turned on the flashlight and walked towards the depths of the warehouse.
Finally, he arrived at the place where Blackie was barking.
At this moment, Blackie was barking at a large pile of cardboard boxes in front of him.
"Shh..."
Bai Yin picked up Blackie, patting his little head:
"Don't bark, it's dangerous!"
Blackie seemed to understand and stopped barking.
Instead, he just kept whimpering, as if being scolded.
"It's okay, it's okay..."
Bai Yin patted Blackie's head and put him down.
Next moment, he walked over.
With the flashlight in his mouth, he began to clear away the cardboard boxes.
The boxes were all empty, but there were quite a few of them, stacked up like a wall.
After Bai Yin moved all these cardboard boxes away, he found a partially open door behind.
The door wasn't locked and seemed to have been broken for a long time.
Almost instinctively, Bai Yin looked out through the crack in the door, shining the flashlight outside.
However, what happened next
made him widen his eyes involuntarily.
---
On the other side of the door was a hallway with stairs.
And in the hallway at this moment,
Countless zombies were wandering around aimlessly.
They seemed to be attracted by something.
But because the surroundings were too quiet,
They just idled in place.
Some zombies noticed the flashlight from Bai Yin.
But they didn't react to it.
Nevertheless, Bai Yin instinctively turned off the flashlight.
At that moment, the moonlight refracted from the window of the hallway shone on Bai Yin's face.
Several zombies saw it clearly, but still, they didn't react.
---
Bai Yin just gently closed the door.
Then, holding Blackie, he retreated and fled cautiously.
Afraid of making any loud noises.
"Ugh, what's..."
"Shh!!!"
Li Huang was about to ask but was stopped by a look from Bai Yin.
Seeing Bai Yin carefully zipping up the bag and putting Blackie inside, she became alert:
"What, what's wrong?"
Li Huang swallowed nervously, her voice low.
"There are zombies, and a lot of them..."
"Ah?!!"
"Shh... keep your voice down!"
"Okay, okay..."
Li Huang immediately lowered her voice, feeling anxious, she asked:
"So, what do we do now?"
"Inform everyone, we need to retreat!"
Bai Yin walked towards Chen Jin, while Li Huang hurried to push her sister Li Xin.
Chen Jin had just fallen asleep, but was awakened by Bai Yin.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw Bai Yin make a gesture for silence and quickly lowered his voice:
"What, what's going on?"
Bai Yin pointed to the darkness behind him:
"There are zombies, let's retreat before they notice us!"
"Oh, okay..."
Chen Jin quickly got up, and the next moment, he ran towards the corner where Wang Lei was.
Calling out softly:
"Lei, Lei, wake up, wake up!"
Wang Lei was sleeping soundly.
But when she opened her eyes, she saw Chen Jin's chubby face.
She was startled:
"Ah!!!! What, what are you trying to do??? Don't you dare mess around!!!!"
She thought Chen Jin was plotting something inappropriate.
She couldn't help but scream.
This wouldn't have been a problem.
But the moment she screamed, it immediately attracted all the zombies from the broken hallway.
"Uh-oh!!!"
This quiet night, you could hear even the sound of a pin drop.
Let alone this piercing scream.
---
The zombies collectively ran towards this direction.
"Boom!!!"
A burly zombie kicked open the door directly.
And then, followed by countless other zombies.
Rushing out from the darkness.
---
"Run!!!"
Without further ado, Bai Yin grabbed an axe and a flashlight.
And rushed towards the other half of the door.
Leading the way, Li Huang and the just awakened Li Xin followed closely behind.
Bai Yin opened the door, and outside was a lone zombie facing him.
"Thud!!!"
Bai Yin knocked down the zombie with one swing of the axe, then kicked it down the stairs.
The next moment, he ran straight up the stairs where no one was in sight.
---
The unexpected incident happened too quickly.
Nevertheless, even in that moment, Wang Lei, who saw the zombies, immediately understood her situation.
She was seen fleeing under Chen Jin's pull.
But because of being too scared, she slipped and fell accidentally.
Twisting her foot on the ground.
By the time Chen Jin turned back, he was already a couple of meters away from her.
With a frightened look on her face, Wang Lei looked back, seeing the zombies almost upon her.
Almost tearing her voice, she looked at Chen Jin, saying:
"Jin, save me!!!!"
In that moment, Chen Jin hesitated for a moment, which was rare for him.
But it was fleeting.
---
The next moment, he turned back and pulled up Wang Lei lying on the ground.
Then, he hugged her tightly, desperately chasing after Bai Yin and the others.
At that moment, Chen Jin unleashed all his hidden potential.
Holding the goddess, he didn't feel the slightest fatigue.
And in his arms, Wang Lei, at this moment, obediently behaved like a little kitten.
