“Move aside!” Shen Mingxuan commanded coldly.
After the Thunder Squad arrived at Zhou Village, they single-handedly destroyed the ‘Divine Tree’ and cleared out the mutated villagers.
The villagers had witnessed the strength of a few men who not only survived the pollen of the Divine Tree but also possessed various abilities. Subconsciously, they felt fear towards the strong.
Standing on their side, Shen Mingxuan naturally felt pleased but looked at Bai Qingqing with an unpleasant expression.
“You better step aside. If A Wang scratches any of you, don’t blame us for taking action.”
“Kill A Wang! Kill him!”
A Bao’s mother knelt on the ground, hugging her youngest son and weeping in pain. Her pitiful appearance evoked sympathy, but the opposing villagers had no mercy in their hearts.
“Big brother, I beg you,” A Mei pleaded as she knocked her head on the ground. “I’m willing to take A Wang away. Please don’t kill him. We’ll leave the village immediately.”
Her plea shocked everyone, making them think she had gone mad.
She was willing to sacrifice herself for A Wang, even if he hadn’t mutated and there was no food outside the village, only zombies.
Even if they managed to leave the village safely, they could still die at the hands of zombies.
Bai Qingqing’s emotions fluctuated. Whether it was for the mission or the humanity she still held onto, she couldn’t let A Mei and A Wang die.
“I’ll make a bet with everyone…”
Shen Mingxuan grew annoyed at the sight of her beautiful face and impatiently interrupted, “No one wants to bet with you. Just get lost.”
“Shen Mingxuan.” Fu Chen grabbed his hand and swiftly took away his weapon. “Let her finish.”
“Captain!” Shen Mingxuan looked dissatisfied at Fu Chen.
Fu Chen’s handsome face turned cold, and he said, “Listen.”
Bai Qingqing gratefully glanced at Fu Chen and said, “If A Wang doesn’t wake up after one day, then you can drive him and A Mei out of the village. But if he wakes up and doesn’t mutate, let them stay together. How about that?”
The villagers still refused to accept the proposal, raising their weapons and shouting excitedly, “No, we must drive A Wang away today. Keeping him in the village will only bring disaster.”
“What if he mutates and bites someone? Can you bear the responsibility?”
“I can bear it.” Bai Qingqing magically produced a gun and fired it into the sky. “I will watch over him. If he mutates, I will kill him immediately.”
Most of the villagers only had regulated knives as weapons, and the guns they had snatched from passing outsiders had all been used up. They never expected that a young and beautiful girl like her would start shooting without hesitation.
They didn’t see where she got the gun from just now. Could it be that she, like the Saintess, possessed some kind of miraculous ability?
Fu Chen swept his gaze around and said in a deep voice, “You can trust her.”
Everyone knew that Fu Chen was the leader, so when they saw his firm attitude, they didn’t dare to argue. However, they still held their weapons and refused to leave.
A Bao’s father was unwilling to let A Wang, a monster destined to mutate, stay at home. He stomped his feet and said, “No, I don’t agree with A Wang staying at home.”
“What are you saying!” A Bao’s mother got up and pushed him, saying, “Are you still human? He is your son!”
A Bao’s father slapped her across the face and said, “Have you gone crazy? How dare you lay a hand on me.”
Feeling embarrassed in front of so many people, he flew into a rage and started beating his own wife. Even when A Bao tried to intervene, he was pushed away.
It was common for men to discipline women in the village, and the other villagers watched as if it were a spectacle.
Bai Tiantian bit her lip and weakly said, “Please stop.”
“Aba, Aba, don’t hit Mama…” A Bao cried pitifully.
The pent-up emotions in Bai Qingqing’s heart suddenly erupted. She took out a stick from her space and rushed over, swinging it and hitting the man’s back.
“You despicable man! Is hitting women all you’re good at?”
The villagers were shocked, and even the members of the Thunder Squad looked on with astonishment, gazing at this scene.
Bai Qingqing, whether with or without amnesia, was usually delicate and fragile, like a clingy morning glory. Who would have thought she would burst out and hurt someone like a firecracker?
A Bao’s father, being physically strong, never expected to be hit by a woman. He grabbed the stick from Bai Qingqing’s hand and fiercely swung his fist.
“Ah!” Bai Tiantian covered her eyes in fear.
Bai Qingqing, unable to dodge, instinctively narrowed her eyes. However, instead of the expected pain, she heard the man’s painful groans.
She opened her eyes and saw A Bao’s father clutching his broken and limp arm, his expression contorted in pain.
Fu Chen pulled her behind him and said coldly, “If you want to die, I can grant your wish.”
Don’t underestimate the young men of the Thunder Squad. In front of the villagers, they were just young lads, but their strength and aura were far beyond ordinary people. The villagers still looked to them for guidance and dispersed.
“A Wang can’t stay in our house. Please spare us,” A Bao’s father begged in a miserable state. “He will bring us harm.”
A Mei wiped away her tears and said, “I’ll take A Wang with me.”
A Bao’s mother, with a swollen and bruised face, held her son tightly and endured the pain, saying, “Thank you, A Mei.”
Bai Qingqing helped A Mei carry A Wang out of the courtyard. As they walked on the road, she asked her, “Where do you want to take him?”
A Mei was sweating profusely and said, “I… don’t know. Let’s take him to Grandma’s house first.”
“Maybe we shouldn’t take him to Grandma’s house.” Bai Qingqing glanced at Fu Chen and said, “Brother, since the villagers are worried about A Wang, let’s bring him to the courtyard where we’re staying. Do you agree?”
Fu Chen looked at her.
Bai Qingqing secretly tugged at his sleeve and blinked her eyes, pleading softly, “Brother, please be a good person to the end.”
“I’m not a good person,” Fu Chen said, striding forward.
Bai Qingqing caught up with him, holding his arm and softly asked, “So, do you agree or not?”
Fu Chen turned his head and looked at her beautiful face. Since she had entangled herself with him, she had become more and more adept at acting spoiled.
As he looked at her fair and tender face, he reached out and pinched her soft flesh, lowering his head and getting closer. “What do you say, my dear little sister? Hmm?”
As the man leaned in, a dominating aura emanated from him, creating a sense of oppression. Bai Qingqing took a step back and said, “That’s definitely an agreement.”
Her eyes shimmered like stars, and her voice was sweet and pleasant. “Brother said that little sisters are meant to be pampered.”
Fu Chen chuckled and pulled her back, walking together.
While walking, Bai Qingqing turned her head and said, “Little sister, hurry up and catch up.”
In the evening, the Thunder Squad sat around the table. Little sister, wearing an apron, brought the dishes to the table and shyly smiled, “I’m not very skilled, but these are specialty dishes from Zhou Village. I hope you’ll like them.”
Bai Qingqing picked up a piece of preserved meat and handed it to Fu Chen. “Brother, this is for you.”
Everyone’s gaze turned to Fu Chen. It’s worth noting that Fu Chen has a slight cleanliness obsession, and not even Bai Tiantian has ever served him food.
Fu Chen glanced at her. He had always been aloof and rarely had someone persistently approach him, trying to please him. Having a pampered little sister seemed… not bad.
He took a bite of the meat and praised, “It tastes great.”
“It’s only delicious because little sister served it,” Xiao Yang muttered.
Bai Qingqing’s eyes flickered, and she picked up a pair of unused chopsticks and served some dishes to Xiao Yang, Cheng Rui, Liang Zhiyu, and Bai Tiantian.

She revealed a pure and lovely smile. “You should all give it a try.”
Everyone couldn’t help but glance at Shen Mingxuan, whose bowl was empty. Bai Qingqing’s cooking skills were truly amazing.
