Seeing that Ginny Jarvis was indeed fine, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, she was the one who had brought them together.
No matter what, they didn’t want anything to happen to her.
Lyra Kane kept her head down, too afraid to look at Ginny Jarvis, and no one had any intention of speaking up for her.
Sean Kane placed the dishes on the dining table, served Ginny Jarvis a bowl of rice, and sat opposite her, watching her eat.
“By the way, Jarvis, Mason Ryder should have awakened an Ability.
He suddenly got a fever and fainted just now.
Clark Chandler is upstairs watching him right now.”
“MMM…
good…
this is so good.
Your cooking skills are getting better and better, Sean.”
Watching his sister eat with a look of pure bliss, Sean Kane felt exceptionally happy himself.
He had only learned to cook because he couldn’t get used to the foreign food while studying abroad.
He never expected it would come in handy now.
After finishing her meal, Ginny Jarvis went to the living room and checked the time.
It was midnight.
She announced, “Tomorrow morning at seven, everyone will go out together to clear out zombies.
Aunt Caroline, Lyra Kane, the two of you will stay and guard the house.
Do not open the door no matter who knocks.
Ignore anyone who comes by.
As long as you don’t go out, this place is secure enough to keep you safe.”
“Alright, Jarvis.
Don’t worry, I will definitely guard the house well,” Caroline Corbin said firmly.
“Where’s the child?”
Caroline Corbin smiled and said, “In my room.
None of you know how to take care of a baby, so I’ll do it.
He’s already asleep.”
“Okay, thank you for your hard work, Aunt Caroline.
Once things settle down, we can just find a family to adopt him.”
“It’s nothing.
I don’t have much to do all day anyway, and I can’t really help you guys with anything else.
I’m good at taking care of kids.
Besides, the child is well-behaved; he doesn’t cry or make a fuss.”
Ginny Jarvis nodded.
No matter what Caroline Corbin said, she still had to say what needed to be said and provide what was necessary.
“Alright, thanks again, Aunt Caroline.
We’ll check the supermarket tomorrow to see if we can find some baby formula.
Okay, everyone should get some rest early.”
Only then did everyone disperse and return to their own rooms.
Early the next morning, everyone gathered in the living room.
Knowing they were heading out together at seven, Caroline Corbin had gotten up just after five to prepare breakfast.
Thus, when everyone came downstairs, they saw a table full of a hearty breakfast, including steamed buns, eggs, dumplings, meat pies, and porridge.
It was already considered an excellent meal.
“Jarvis, I saw there wasn’t much milk left in the storage room’s fridge, so I didn’t take any out.
If you want to drink some, I’ll go get it.
The rest of us won’t have any. Find the original chapter at g.com.
It makes no sense for us to live in your house and eat so much of your food.”
Caroline Corbin said this partly for the others to hear.
As Ginny Jarvis’s aunt, even she felt bad eating her food, so the others shouldn’t just eat as they pleased.
Otherwise, when supplies ran out in the future, they might harbor resentment toward Ginny Jarvis.
“It’s fine, Aunt Caroline.
We can just collect some more when we go out today.
Go ahead and bring some out.
We have a heavy task today, so we still need to keep up our nutrition.
Don’t worry, the supplies in the storage room are enough to last us a month, and the vegetables in the backyard are almost ready for harvest.
Oh, right, Aunt Caroline, those rooms in the backyard have chickens, ducks, cattle, and sheep.
You can just catch them when you cook.
And also, we’ll leave the little guy in your care.”
“Alright, no problem.
Be safe out there.
I’ll definitely take care of the logistics at home.
Here are some meat pies and sandwiches.
I’ll pack them up for everyone to eat while you’re out today.”
“Okay, thank you, Aunt Caroline.”
“Thank you, Miss Corbin,” the others called out with smiles.
After breakfast, the group drove out in the heavy-duty truck and the off-road vehicle to clear out zombies.
The heavy-duty truck led the way, with Caleb Grant driving.
He took Mason Ryder, who had just awakened a Gold Ability, and Cecilia Sinclair, who had a Fire Ability.
Cecilia was very unhappy about not being in the same car as Ginny Jarvis, but considering the bigger picture, she still obeyed the arrangement.
Following behind was the off-road vehicle driven by Timmy.
The Wood Ability he had awakened could currently only make seeds sprout.
His Attack Power was too low, so he took on the role of the driver.
In the passenger seat was Clark Chandler.
He was already a big guy, and now that he had awakened the Meat Element’s Power Ability, he looked even more robust.
Ginny Jarvis and Sean Kane sat in the back seat.
Ginny Jarvis observed the situation outside, occasionally glancing out the window and then checking the map she had downloaded earlier.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up.
“Let’s go.
We’re heading to the bar.
There should be quite a few zombies there.”
However, she didn’t expect that before they even reached the bar, their path would be blocked by zombies on the road.
Looking at the twenty to thirty zombies ahead, Ginny Jarvis felt the violent tendencies within her already clamoring to be unleashed.
“Get out of the car.”
Seeing the horde of zombies, Caleb Grant, who was driving in front, began to decelerate.
Seeing the vehicle behind them stop, he immediately turned off the engine and led the people in his truck out.
“Clark Chandler, Mason Ryder, and I will take the front and clear the way.
The rest of you attack from behind.
Caleb Grant, you bring up the rear.
Everyone, stay safe.”
As soon as Ginny Jarvis finished speaking, everyone sprang into action.
Apart from Ginny Jarvis and Caleb Grant, the other five were very nervous.
Cecilia Sinclair condensed a Fireball in her hand, ready to throw it at the zombies at any moment, but her current Fireball was only five centimeters in diameter.
Ginny Jarvis looked at her brother and Cecilia Sinclair. Read this novel at g.com for the best experience.
After all, neither of them had undergone any training, so she was still quite worried.
“Mr.
Thorne, use your vines to trap the zombies’ feet.
Sean, you and Cecilia Sinclair focus on attacking.
Mason Ryder, Clark Chandler, concentrate your Abilities into your arms and smash directly down on the zombies’ heads.
Caleb Grant, keep a close eye on them and protect them.”
Everyone nodded.
Ginny Jarvis then charged toward the zombie horde.
Wielding a dagger, she slashed down with swift precision, and a zombie’s head hit the ground.
Compared to Ginny Jarvis’s composure, Sean Kane and the others were not nearly as smooth.
Their attacks either missed the mark or landed harmlessly on the zombies’ bodies, having very little effect.
Often, each person had to release their Skills two or three times just to kill a single zombie.
Fortunately, Ginny Jarvis helped draw the aggro of quite a few zombies, giving them plenty of time to slowly take down their targets.
Meanwhile, Caleb Grant stood on the roof of the heavy-duty truck, watching the group.
Every now and then, he would aim and fire a shot at a zombie or hurl a Thunder Ball their way.
The group’s pace was fairly quick.
In about ten minutes, they had completely cleared out the zombies blocking the road.
Perhaps because the commotion they caused was too loud, the survivors hiding in the nearby shops all came out one by one after they finished clearing the zombies.
A middle-aged woman cried out, “Are you guys sent by the government to save us?
Why are you so slow?
I haven’t eaten anything all day!
Hurry up and give me some food!”
“BOOHOO…
please save us and take us away,” a young girl said between sobs.
Looking at these people, Ginny Jarvis furrowed her brows.
Staring at them with a sharp gaze, she declared, “We are not with the government.
We will clear the zombies in this vicinity, and you can scavenge for supplies on your own.”
“No way!
You guys are so strong, I want to go with you!
It won’t take much effort for you to protect me!” the middle-aged woman from earlier shouted.
Perhaps hearing that Ginny Jarvis and her group weren’t going to take care of them, the rest of the people also began to grow angry.
“There are so many of you!
What’s the harm in protecting us?”
“Exactly!
We don’t have any fighting power.
If you can help, then help a little.
Worst comes to worst, we’ll pay you after everyone is rescued.”
“BOOHOO…
miss, please have some mercy and take us with you.”
“How can a young girl like you be so heartless?
There are over a dozen of us.
You can’t just watch us get eaten…”
Ginny Jarvis looked impatiently at the crowd and shouted, “Everyone, shut up!
We’ve cleared the zombies ahead.
You can go to that small store up front to grab supplies and find a safe place to wait for government rescue.
If you insist on following us, we will not guarantee your safety.
We came out today solely to clear out zombies, and we won’t be finding a place to stay until tonight.”
As soon as they heard that Ginny Jarvis and her group didn’t even have a place to stay, the crowd predictably stopped clamoring for their protection.
