After taking a shower, Tang Yaoyao put on the fluffy pajamas the System had changed for her. She lay down on the bed and burrowed under the covers, and sleepiness immediately overcame her.
The sound of the rain outside seemed to have a hypnotic effect, allowing her to quickly drift into a deep sleep.
The next morning, the rain had stopped, but the sky was still gloomy and overcast.
“It’s so cold.” Han Liuliu had barely gotten out of bed when she felt the chill in the air.
Tang Yaoyao woke up as well. She took a white down jacket from her Spatial Ability and handed it to her. “You can borrow this, but don’t get it dirty.”
System notification: 【Favorability Points +2】 Current total: 24.
“Yaoyao, you’re so good to me.” Han Liuliu looked at Tang Yaoyao gratefully.
“Hurry up and go downstairs.”
Han Liuliu put on the jacket and walked out of the room.
That down jacket had cost her 3 points. Although Tang Yaoyao felt a little heartbroken about it, there was nothing she could do. Who could blame her for being such an angel?
Tang Yaoyao changed into a cream-colored casual outfit provided by the System. It was warm and cozy, so she did not feel cold at all.
After washing up, she went downstairs.
When Bai Youyou saw the clean and pretty clothes Tang Yaoyao was wearing, then looked at her pure and innocent face, she felt that Tang Yaoyao did not look like someone living through the Apocalypse at all. Her jealousy immediately soared. Why didn’t she just go die?
System notification: 【Disgust Points +2】 Current total: 26.
Seriously? She had only just come downstairs, and this White Lotus was already jealous because she had new clothes to wear? Wasn’t she being a little childish?
Chen Dongming praised her, “Yaoyao, you look really pretty today.”
Could these new clothes increase her charm as well? She was practically floating from all the praise.
“Brother Dongming, you look very handsome today too.” Tang Yaoyao returned the compliment politely.

Xie Youlin said, “Once we finish breakfast, we’ll get ready to leave.”
“We don’t have a vehicle anymore.” Li Hai suddenly remembered.
“Don’t worry. Moyu has some in his Spatial Ability,” Xie Zian said calmly.
Tang Yaoyao breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that. She still did not want to take out her own RV because the White Lotus would be riding in it too.
This arrangement was perfect.
Soon, everyone gathered at the entrance and prepared to leave.
Ji Moyu brought out two SUVs. Xie Youlin drove one, while Xi Yanfeng drove the other. Tang Yaoyao pulled Han Liuliu into the SUV driven by Xie Youlin.
Ji Moyu sat in the front passenger seat, while she, Han Liuliu, and Xie Zian sat in the back.
The vehicle slowly drove along the village road before soon entering the highway.
Tang Yaoyao quietly stared out the window. She had just passed a forest, and for some reason, she felt as though the trees had been moving. Perhaps she was just imagining things.
“Eh? There are two vehicles up ahead,” Xie Zian noticed.
There were fewer zombies after the rain, so many people would take advantage of this opportunity to venture out in search of safe bases.
It seemed there were several vehicles following behind them as well.
Watching the mountains and trees move past outside, Tang Yaoyao gradually became sleepy. She rested her head against Han Liuliu’s shoulder and fell asleep.
Through the rearview mirror, Ji Moyu saw her peaceful sleeping face. She looked much cuter than usual.
After they had been driving for more than two hours, a sudden scream rang out, jolting her awake.
“Ah! Help!”
“What kind of monster is that? Drive faster!”
Xie Zian could not help swearing. “Damn, how are we supposed to get past that?”
Tang Yaoyao looked ahead and was startled as well. A huge tree was using its branches to wrap around a person and lift him into the air.
Just as the vehicle in front was about to pass, the tree suddenly flung its branches, sending the vehicle crashing into the roadside guardrail. It was impossible to tell what had happened to the people inside.
At that moment, Xi Yanfeng’s vehicle pulled up alongside them.
“What do we do? Push through or turn back?”
“Take the mountain road.” Xie Youlin turned the vehicle around and drove into a very narrow road.
Xi Yanfeng’s vehicle followed closely behind, and two more vehicles soon joined them.
After driving for a while, Tang Yaoyao’s eyelid twitched, and an uneasy feeling suddenly came over her.
She leaned forward beside Ji Moyu and carefully observed the situation at the very front of the vehicle.
