“Zixi, come out and eat,” Zhu Rui said gently as he knocked lightly on the bedroom door.
Bai Zixi, who had been sleeping soundly, fluttered her long eyelashes and slowly woke up. In a soft, delicate voice, she replied,
“Brother Rui, I’ll be out in a moment.”
Huh?
Standing outside the door, Zhu Rui felt his heart melt when he heard her sweet, gentle voice. The tips of his ears instantly turned red, and he stood there in a daze.

When she heard the notification, Bai Zixi curled her lips into a smug smile, looking as though everything had gone exactly as she expected.
After tidying herself up a little, she opened the door.
Seeing Zhu Rui standing outside, she asked softly, “Were you waiting for me?”
Zhu Rui snapped out of his daze and quickly nodded. “Yes.”
Bai Zixi casually walked past him. “Then let’s go.”
The two soon arrived at the dining table in the living room and sat down.
Bai Zixi couldn’t help sneaking a glance at the male lead, Yan Shaoyu, as well as their other teammate.
The male lead had a handsome, rugged appearance and a rather imposing aura. The other teammate, on the other hand, looked somewhat more refined and scholarly.
Overall, the team was quite good-looking. They all had well-defined facial features, proper proportions, and ideal heights and builds.
Bai Zixi lowered her head and continued eating her rice.
Fortunately, Han Shuo’s house still had a bag of rice, along with some canned food, preserved meat, and eggs in the refrigerator.
These supplies would probably last them another four or five days.
In just a few days, the water supply would become severely contaminated, and communication signals and electricity would disappear as well.
Knowing this, Bai Zixi began eating faster, keeping her head down and concentrating on her food.
Yu Haoran was delighted to see how enthusiastically she was eating. After all, he was the one who had prepared the meal.
After a while, Mo Yanfeng couldn’t help asking, “Boss, when are we going back to Imperial City?”
In his opinion, the zombies outside were moving rather slowly. They were just disgusting to look at. With their guns and weapons, getting out of this dark city by car shouldn’t be too difficult.
Yan Shaoyu’s expression turned serious as he quickly made his decision.
“Tomorrow morning. We’ll leave then.”
He had no idea what was happening at the main Yan family residence in Imperial City. Although he knew his eldest and second eldest brothers could handle things, he was still worried. After all, quite a few enemies were lurking around the family.
As for supplies, they could slowly gather more along the way.
Bai Zixi knew they wouldn’t be leaving tomorrow.
According to the original storyline, Yan Shaoyu would develop a fever tonight and wouldn’t wake up until the day after tomorrow.
After that, everyone except her and Yu Haoran would gradually awaken their supernatural abilities.
As the virus spread, half of humanity would turn into zombies. A small portion of people would awaken supernatural abilities, while some would develop enhanced strength and speed. The majority, however, would remain ordinary people, just as they had been before.
Yu Haoran would only gain enhanced strength and speed. He wouldn’t awaken any special abilities. At least, not for now.
She needed to hurry up and earn 50 points so she could exchange them for a supernatural ability.
Thinking about this, her beautiful eyes drifted toward Zhu Rui.
She didn’t care what the others thought about her sudden change in personality. So what if she seemed like a completely different person? It didn’t matter. They weren’t going to do anything to her anyway.
Noticing her gaze, Zhu Rui became a little nervous, and even his eating movements slowed down.
Bai Zixi smiled.
This soldier is so adorable. He’s really fun to tease!
Seeing Bai Zixi smiling, Yu Haoran curiously asked, “Zixi, you’re in a pretty good mood today.”
“Mhm, I’m feeling quite good,” she replied sweetly, nodding obediently.
A woman who had always been glamorous and cold suddenly becoming so gentle and delicate?
Everyone looked at her with different expressions.
Could it be because of the apocalypse?
That explanation wasn’t entirely unreasonable. After all, she was a girl, and it was only natural for her to be frightened.
Yet, the more they thought about it, the more they felt that something wasn’t quite right.
Still, they had to admit that she was much more pleasant this way. She was rather lovable.
“Are you all finished eating? I’ll go wash the dishes now.”
Bai Zixi calmly stood up and began clearing the plates from the dining table.
