Sun Han and Xia Dong led the way, while Fu Shinan and Professor Feng walked behind.

Suddenly, Professor Feng asked, “What are your thoughts on this morning’s incident?”

Fu Shinan looked directly at him and replied calmly, “Since we’ve established rules, we should abide by them. As you’ve said, without rules, there can be no order.”

Professor Feng couldn’t help but feel reluctant. “After all, they are two young girls. Even if Ji Zan can provide them with some food, it will still be difficult for them to survive! Who knows what tomorrow…

Fu Shinan interrupted him directly, “I understand that you hold kindness towards everyone, but who has it easy in the apocalypse? Perhaps our team will expand in the future. If we don’t address this issue now, how can Jizan gain the trust of others? Let me also tell you this, if Ji Zan didn’t make this decision today, then I would be the one leaving! So, Professor Feng, how would you suggest I survive? I am also a woman. I hope you don’t think that just because I have a supernatural ability, it means I deserve to be tolerated and killed by others. Now, Bai Lianhua has injured the team leader first and then her teammates. She doesn’t face any consequences. She will only become more ruthless, causing more people to feel cold -hearted and leave! A team without rules won’t last long. In the apocalypse, nobody can expect to survive!” Professor Feng understood the logic but remained silent.

However, Fu Shinan inexplicably grew angry and continued, “Furthermore, do you believe they won’t repeat their mistakes? It’s as likely as a pig climbing a tree! They have done similar things before. How can we keep forgiving them just because no one has died and they shed a few tears, pretend to be weak, and say sorry?!”

Professor Feng became even more silent. Finally, he dryly said, “You’re right, Xiaonan. Perhaps it’s the influence of the apocalypse, but your resentment is too strong. It might affect your true self.”

Fu Shinan wanted to say something more but was interrupted by Xia Dong’s excited voice, “Professor Feng, Sister Fu, I found two intact packs of seeds!”

Professor Feng felt like he had found a treasure and hurriedly went over to take a look. The blurry words on them revealed, “Wheat, excellent! If it can grow, we won’t have to worry about food in the future!”

The team continued searching through the ruins, hoping to find more things. Fortunately, they also discovered some green beans, chili peppers, potatoes, and tomatoes.

Time flew by, and over three hours passed. The clear sky from earlier had been replaced by a few dark clouds.

Fu Shinan worried that it might rain and said, ‘We should head back. It feels like it’s going to rain…” However, as soon as she finished speaking, she heard a piercing cry that sounded like a zombie’s howl mixed with a child’s cry. It sent shivers down their spines.

Everyone froze simultaneously because the cry repeated, becoming clearer and resembling the sound of a child crying!

Sun Han, being able to control his abilities, had grown braver and couldn’t help but say, “Sister Fu, should we go and take a look?”

Fu Shinan hesitated and looked at Professor Feng. After all, he was the oldest among them.

Professor Feng felt guilty for failing to protect Bai Lianhua and Shi Chan’er, as they were two lives lost. Despite that, when he saw everyone seeking his opinion, he nodded, “It’s broad daylight; there shouldn’t be any problem. If we encounter zombies, we’ll leave immediately.”

However, Xia Dong frowned, “Although it’s daytime, this place has become a ruin. We’ve been in the apocalypse for so long, how is it possible for a child to be crying here? Something doesn’t seem right.”

Professor Feng responded, “Maybe it’s a survivor. Judging from the sound, the child doesn’t seem very old. If we can help, let’s help.” Fu Shinan sighed, “Everyone be careful, let’s go and come back quickly. If things seem off, we leave immediately and don’t waste time.”

With that, Xia Dong stopped talking.

The group followed the sound and passed through a collapsed staircase. Only two floors of the adjacent building remained, and the eerie cries were coming from inside. They cautiously entered the corridor and saw a resident’s door tightly shut, with the strange cries continuously emanating from within.

Sun Han leaned closer to listen and said, “It’S definitely coming from here.”

Professor Feng also approached and said, “It’s indeed a child’s cry! Could it be that the adults went out to find supplies? Should we break open the door and check on the child?”

“If we open it, won’t we be damaging their door? We also don’t know if there are any adults inside or when they’ll return. We can’t wait indefinitely,” Xia Dong felt they shouldn’t go in.

Professor Feng furrowed his brow. “Then…”

Before Professor Feng could finish his sentence, Fu Shinan felt a chill at the back of her neck. Something was pressing against it..
