Hearing Director Mom's words and seeing the still earth pit, Yun Xiaoxiao furrowed her brows.
If the other party was a good zombie who didn't harm people but only protected those they cared about, she really wouldn't know how to bring herself to kill it.
Humans have good and bad, and so do zombies.
Although the probability is very, very small, small doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
Glancing at the earth pit once more, Yun Xiaoxiao silently withdrew her hand.
With a major threat resolved, everyone at the orphanage breathed a sigh of relief.
However, their gaze towards Yun Xiaoxiao had completely changed.
"Xiaoxiao, how are you so amazing? Even more powerful than Ultraman in the cartoons!"
Tian Tian approached Yun Xiaoxiao, full of admiration.
"That ice just now was so cool!"
Yinuo and a few other kids also gathered around.
They almost treated Yun Xiaoxiao like a little star.
Seeing the group of people laughing and playing together, Director Mom also smiled warmly.
"Today, let's have a good meal. Come on, let's cook."
"Director Mom, are we having meat today?"
"Yes."
"Can we have eggs too?"
"Yes."
"Oh yeah, that's great!"
The little ones were the most excited.
Everyone else couldn't help but smile along.
The unpleasantness from earlier was swept away.
During dinner, Yun Xiaoxiao asked everyone if they wanted to leave and mentioned a better place where they could live.
But everyone looked at each other, seemingly reluctant.
"Xiaoxiao, I know you mean well, but we've lived here for so long, and we don't have any plans to leave for now."
Director Mom smiled gently, voicing the thoughts of everyone.
"We think this place is pretty good, with mountains and water. We've planted vegetables and raised chickens and ducks. If we want meat, we can go fishing.
We're also planning to cultivate the land outside and plant some grains.
Now that those bad guys are gone, this place is quite safe.
So, you don't need to worry about us. We're doing fine here.
Most importantly..."
She glanced towards the direction of the gate, smiling softly without continuing.
But Yun Xiaoxiao could hear what she was thinking.
She was thinking: Little Xin and the others are still outside. If we leave, what will happen to them?
Finding a secluded spot, she took out the helicopter.
Then, she flew along the coastline according to the map on her phone.
This map was one she had downloaded before the apocalypse.
She had downloaded maps of the entire country, each province, each city, and even some towns.
It turned out to be a very wise decision.
This trip to gather supplies had been greatly aided by it.
After flying for a long time, Yun Xiaoxiao finally spotted a landmark.
Immediately, she changed direction and flew towards the sea.
At that moment.
On an oil drilling platform at sea.
A man wrapped in a military coat was lying in a slouched position on a low platform.
Even though the platform was covered in moss and was dirty, he didn't care.
He reached out to pick his nose and yawned lazily.
Suddenly, the fishing rod trembled slightly. His action of picking his nose paused, and he quickly sat up.
He chuckled and rubbed his palms.
"Here it comes!"
He picked up the fishing rod and pulled it up.
Seeing it was just a small fish, his interest waned.
He took the fish off and threw it back into the sea.
"Go find your mom. Remember, don't bite my bait before you grow up, okay? Be a good and sensible fish. Go call your uncles and aunts; they've grown up and can be eaten."
He muttered to himself.
If the fish could understand human speech, it would surely roll its eyes and curse loudly, "You big idiot."
He re-baited the hook and threw the line back into the sea.
Then, he lay down again, bored out of his mind.
"The sky is so blue today..."

He rested his hands behind his head, crossed his legs, and gazed at the sky.
Suddenly, he sat up straight, rubbed his eyes, and stared at the sky not far away.
Convinced it wasn't an illusion, he was overjoyed.
There was a helicopter!
Heavens, how long had it been since he last saw a plane!
He had only seen them at the very beginning of the apocalypse.
But those planes either flew too high and disappeared or fell into the deep sea under his gaze.
After that, he hadn't seen any planes in this area.
This helicopter was flying so steadily, which meant there must be someone inside!
Realizing this, the man became excited.
