“Zombies have already appeared in this world, so why shouldn’t humans be allowed to level up too?” Zhen Lütu said as she looked at the two people still studying the ball of fire.
“Forget about that for now. Eat something first.” Zhen Lütu had just taken a bunch of delicious food out of her secret warehouse.
Tang Yue and Han Yan stared silently at the roast chicken and pig’s trotters on the table, then swallowed despite there being no actual saliva to swallow.
Han Yan said, “You’re serving such heavy food first thing in the morning?”
As he spoke, he tore off a chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth.
Tang Yue asked, “Where did you get this from?”
Zhen Lütu blinked and said mysteriously, “My secret warehouse.”
Seeing Zhen Lütu’s mischievous expression, Tang Yue smiled affectionately.
After breakfast, Han Yan used the military’s specialized communication device in the living room to contact Xie Lan’an.
Meanwhile, Zhen Lütu was studying her space.
The previous night, she had already transferred all the supplies from her house into her space.
However, she had prepared far too many supplies, so she had even filled several of the cars Butler Liu had bought and stored them all in the space as well.
She had also discovered that her space now contained a freezer section.
This meant that the vegetables, fruits, and other perishables she had bought finally had somewhere to be stored.
She had been quite worried that they would spoil before.
After finishing with her supplies, Zhen Lütu noticed that the two of them were still fiddling with a black box that looked somewhat like a phone.
She had always felt that there was no way their identities were as simple as ordinary police officers.
Moreover, she still did not even know their real names.
Zhen Lütu propped her little face up with one hand and asked them, “What exactly do you two do? Why are you so mysterious, and why can’t you even tell other people your names?”
Tang Yue and Han Yan exchanged a glance, and both saw agreement in each other’s eyes.
After all, Zhen Lütu could be considered a companion who had gone through life and death with them.
Tang Yue said, “We’re members of the national special forces. We came to H City for a mission. Also, my name is Tang Yue.”
Han Yan raised his hand and introduced himself again. “Han Yan.”
With that, he turned back to contacting his team leader.
!!!
Special forces!
Zhen Lütu felt that she truly was living in a world of absurd coincidences. She could simply go out for a stroll and somehow run into members of the special forces.
But why did those two names sound so familiar?
“Tang Yue, Han Yan…” Zhen Lütu murmured quietly, feeling that she had heard those names somewhere before.
Tang Yue…
Han Yan…
Zhen Lütu suddenly remembered that in the novel, there had originally been a mother and son in the male and female leads’ group, but halfway through the story, both of them were killed by enemies who had come looking for revenge.
The person who killed them was Han Yan.
The reason Han Yan had killed that mother and son was apparently because the person he loved had been killed by them.
However, although Han Yan had killed both of them in the novel, he had also lost one of his arms in the process. After all, the male and female leads were not pushovers.
He had gone there alone without telling his teammates, so the fact that he managed to return in one piece was already quite impressive.
Remembering the events of the novel, Zhen Lütu looked at Tang Yue, whose appearance was cold and elegant but who had always treated her gently, and felt a wave of relief.
Fortunately, this time she had not ended up being eaten by zombies because of that mother and son.
Tang Yue noticed that after hearing their names, Zhen Lütu had an expression that seemed caught somewhere between regret and relief.
She found it rather puzzling but did not think too much of it.
If Zhen Lütu’s acting coach from before she transmigrated into the apocalypse had seen her expression at that moment, they probably would have gone completely mad.
After more than half a day, Han Yan finally managed to contact his team leader, Xie Lan’an.
“Boss, Boss, are you guys almost at the outskirts of H City?” Han Yan asked excitedly.
“Mm, almost. Where are you?” A pleasant male voice came through the communicator.
Zhen Lütu had not expected the little black box to actually be capable of contacting people outside. After all, the communication systems were already down.
Fortunately, she had already downloaded plenty of TV dramas and other entertainment onto her phone and tablet.
“Boss, we’re in a villa district on the outskirts of H City, in the northernmost villa.”
“Okay, I know where that is.”
With that, Xie Lan’an ended the call.
Listening to their conversation, Zhen Lütu guessed that the other members of the Shadow Breath Squad, the “rivals” of the male and female leads’ team in the novel, were coming.
Should she go with them?
After all, the Shadow Breath Squad was the only team in the novel that could truly stand against the male and female leads.
Moreover, their team leader, Xie Lan’an, was one of the few experts in the novel who could defeat the male lead.
She wondered what kind of person Xie Lan’an was and whether he would be someone worth sticking close to for protection.
While Zhen Lütu was still wondering whether she should shamelessly ask to join them, Tang Yue asked, “Zhen Lütu, are you planning to wait here for your family, or… come with us?”
Tang Yue genuinely liked this girl. Although Zhen Lütu sometimes said things that she could not understand, her lively and clever personality reminded Tang Yue of her younger sister at the orphanage.
Ever since her younger sister had been adopted, Tang Yue had never seen her again.
“I don’t have any family. My parents passed away many years ago,” Zhen Lütu replied.
Tang Yue had not expected Zhen Lütu’s parents to have died so early. She had always assumed that such a lively and adorable girl must have grown up in a happy family.
Looking at the delicate and adorable girl before her, who looked like a doll sitting inside a display cabinet, Tang Yue seemed to catch a hint of loneliness in her eyes and quickly said, “I’m sorry…”
However, when Tang Yue mentioned family, Zhen Lütu did not feel much of anything.
She had never had a family, much less parents.
She had been an orphan from the very beginning.
Seeing how carefully Tang Yue was treating her, Zhen Lütu smiled and said, “I’ll go with you. But you’re not allowed to get annoyed with me later.”
The girl’s smile was as dazzling as fireworks exploding across the night sky.
Tang Yue could not help smiling as well.
“But will your team leader agree?” Zhen Lütu asked uncertainly.
Although she wanted to go with them, the novel had given very little description of the Shadow Breath Squad’s team leader, so she had no idea what kind of personality he had.
Would he agree to let her join them?
Seeing that Zhen Lütu was worried about this, Tang Yue smiled and said, “He will. Although our team leader is rather wary of others, he wouldn’t leave a young woman to fend for herself, especially when the outside world is so dangerous.”
Wary of others?
Regardless of what he was like, Zhen Lütu had already decided to follow them.
At least this way, her life would be much safer.
Thinking this, Zhen Lütu moved over to Tang Yue’s side and wrapped herself around her arm like a little cat, rubbing against her affectionately.
“Sister Tang Tang, you’re so nice.”
Han Yan, who was not far away, heard Zhen Lütu sweetly calling her “Sister Tang Tang” and immediately got goosebumps all over.
Sister Tang Tang? Was she even allowed to call her that?!
And that was his future wife! Did Zhen Lütu really think she could just rub herself against her whenever she wanted?
Good grief.

Hearing the notification that the points had been credited, Zhen Lütu rubbed against Tang Yue even more enthusiastically.
Ah, thank you, beautiful big sister. Let me cuddle you~
