"Sister, don't be afraid."
A crisp male voice sounded in her ear.
Xu Qian blinked, and saw all the zombies instantly stop attacking. They continued to wander aimlessly.
She pursed her lips, took a big step forward, and then turned to face him.
The young man had medium-length, deep brown hair, which was styled to be soft and shiny. His eyes were light green, clear to the bottom, with only joy in their depths.
His skin was very fair, his features distinct, yet his contours were very soft. He was flawlessly handsome.
"Sister."
Xu Qian's eyes flickered slightly, and she softly called out, "Xu Lu."
No, she should call him Xiao Ping.
His appearance hadn't changed much from before; he was still very good-looking.
[Ding, mission target Xiao Ping's favorability is 30 points. Please hurry and conquer him, host.]
Xu Qian narrowed her eyes slightly. It seemed she hadn't been foolish for that long for nothing.
At least Xiao Ping was quite dependent on her.
For example, if they disagreed, he'd grab her arm and refuse to let go, clinging to her like a little boy.
If she tried to pull his hand away, he'd blink his jade green eyes and stare at her pitifully...
Even though he didn't say a word, his demeanor was captivating.
After struggling a few times and being unable to break free, Xu Qian gave up.
Since this thing could avoid zombies, it was good to have him around.
However, who would have thought that mission target number three would be a high-level zombie.
Even though she didn't know his identity, it wouldn't hurt to keep him around.
With Xu Lu around, Xu Qian calmly walked through the zombie horde and reached the Peace Factory without any effort.
When they arrived at the Peace Factory, Xu Lu understood that Xu Qian intended to go inside.
He cautiously raised his eyes to look at her and asked, "Sister, are you going in?"
Xu Qian didn't know if he could understand, but she still explained truthfully.
"My mission is to destroy the X Group, and this factory is one of them."
Upon hearing the words X Group, Xu Lu's eyes widened slightly.
He paused for a moment before asking, "Sister, must it be destroyed?"
Xu Qian glanced at him indifferently and said, "Yes, is that not allowed?"
The young man spoke much more fluently than before; she wondered who had taught him.
Xu Lu scratched his head, unconcerned, and said, "It's fine."
After all, he had already taken out all the important items. It didn't matter if it was destroyed or not.
"Xiao Lu, do you want to go in with me?"
Xu Lu nodded. He wanted to stay by his sister's side to protect her.
He hadn't seen his sister for many days, yet he had thought of her for countless days.
He shouldn't have been so eager to leave back then. He could have done missions by his sister's side!
The two boldly entered the factory, and the zombies automatically parted.
The entire factory was occupied by zombies. Xu Qian searched the entire plant but found nothing unusual; it was just an ordinary garment factory.
Just as she was pondering, Xu Lu suddenly grabbed her hand and pulled her through the zombie horde to the parking lot.
The parking lot was exclusive to the factory, with two levels and not many zombies. From a distance, a line of armed men in black could be seen standing at the main gate.
Only L Province and G Province remained in the Southern Base. The X Group naturally wouldn't slack off, watching the base carefully with 24-hour shifts.
Xu Qian's lips curved slightly, then she subtly restrained herself.
She raised her wrist and rang the demon bell.
At that moment, everything seemed to stop.
But Xu Lu's hand didn't let go; he stayed with her.
Xu Qian glanced at him and asked the system with confusion.
Xiao Ping was a Level 3 zombie; the demon bell should have had an effect.
[Ding, mission target Xiao Ping's zombie level is outside the system's recognition range. He is not controlled.]
Xu Qian narrowed her eyes slightly. Had the mission target changed this time? Was it not to save the world, but...
