Qi Qian quickly exchanged another Stealth Pill with the system.

    There was the same sound of clinking coins in Qi Qian''s mind, and another white pill appeared in the palm of her hand. sea??h thё ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    …

    "Brother Fu Chen, this Stealth Pill is for you," Qi Qian started. "If you eat this, the zombies outside would not do anything to you and would not realize that you are there. Eating this can hide your presence from the zombies outside."

    Qi Qian explained the Stealth Pill''s uses to Fu Chen in a fluster.

    Fu Chen glanced at the white pill in Qi Qian''s hand and looked up at her again.

    Qi Qian''s heart was naturally uncomfortable when the person she liked looked at her so suspiciously. But she could not care so much about it at this moment in time.

    "Believe me, Brother Fu Chen, I will never cause you any harm," Qi Qian said, trying hard to convince the man with her sincerity.

    Fu Chen lowered his eyes, looked at the two pills in Qi Qian''s hand, and asked, "Only two of them?"

    "Yes," Qi Qian said after a short pause.

    After thinking carefully for a while, Fu Chen decided to believe her. So he got up and took one of the so-called Stealth Pills from Qi Qian''s hand.

    Without Fu Chen''s support, the already precarious door was crumbling at this moment, as if the zombies outside could break into the room at any moment.

    Qi Qian thought that Fu Chen was going to eat the Stealth Pill, but she did not expect that he would go straight toward Yue Ran.

    The tall young man''s back, as always, made people feel safe and secure, as if one could always depend on him. But at this moment, there was more decisiveness.

    "Ran Ran," Fu Chen called out the girl''s name gently.

    The young man caressed the beautiful girl''s cheek before pinching her chin, his eyes full of affection and reluctance. Then he kissed the girl''s lips slowly and adoringly, as if she were the treasure at the tip of his heart, the darling that he cherished in the palm of his hand.

    …

    Qi Qian never thought that the situation would turn into what it is now.

    Fu Chen gave the Stealth Pill that she had given him to Yue Ran!

    Then he died in the wave of zombies.

    Everything happened too quickly for Qi Qian to do anything.

    Qi Qian watched as Fu Chen opened the door and led all the zombies outside to him by acting as bait. The young man was strong and agile, but he was not a match for those undead zombies that seemed to have acquired the deformed power of immortality.

    In the end, Fu Chen''s figure gradually fell and was buried by the ferocious zombies.

    Fu Chen had fallen among those countless terrifying monsters.

    But before he fell, he turned around and glanced over to Qi Qian, and his lips moved slightly as if he were uttering something amongst the roars and terror.

    Qi Qian immediately understood his words.

    He said, "Take care of Ran Ran for me."

    Then those pair of nostalgic eyes shifted behind Qi Qian. She did not even need to think about who he was looking at.

    But… but… but still! Is Yue Ran really worth his life?

    Qi Qian seemed to have gone crazy as she rushed into the pile of zombies, regardless of the dangers of being infected by them. She rushed forward as if the disgusting slime and icy, grotesque touch of the zombies did not exist.

    But it was useless.

    It was all useless!

    As soon as Fu Chen fell, his body was already cut into pieces of meat, and those pieces of meat were eaten up by the zombies around him.

    "Fu Chen!" Qi Qian screamed.

    She knelt on the spot where the young man had died, crying dazedly as if trying hard to grab something but to no avail. Everything was in vain.

    Salvation System: "Do not cry; the most important thing to do first is to escape. The Stealth Pill that you have just eaten has a time limit, so once an hour or two have passed, if you have not yet awakened your supernatural power, you will be the next one to die!"

    Qi Qian sniffled.

    Salvation System: "Moreover, as the savior of the world, you cannot rely too much on the system, so there is a limit to the number of items you can exchange in the system store. The two Stealth Pills that you have just exchanged have already reached the limit for the item that you can buy."

    Qi Qian understood what the Salvation System meant.

    The system was saying that she could only exchange two Stealth Pills and no more of the same item. This meant that once the time limit of the Stealth Pill had counted down to zero, the effect would be canceled out.

    Qi Qian clenched her fists. Although she had already stopped sobbing out loud, the tears in her eyes could not help but keep flowing.

    She looked around at the so-called zombies, who were unconscious with green skin and thick blood flowing, and hatred flashed in her eyes.

    Suddenly, as if she had remembered something, Qi Qian asked the system in her mind.

    Qi Qian: "How are my parents now?"

    Salvation System: "Sorry, but I cannot detect your family members from so far away. There is a limited range for the system''s detection. However, according to the system''s speculation, they may now be in the same predicament as you were at the beginning."

    How could it be so? How could this be?

    The system meant that her family members were most likely dead after being preyed on by the zombies outside of their house.

    Qi Qian knelt on the ground while mumbling incessantly. The clothes on her body were already dirty because of her previous actions. She was covered in splashes of red blood, slime, and mud; even her face could not avoid the same fate.

    Only Qi Qian''s pair of eyes remained clean. Although they were clear, it was difficult to hide the grief and sorrow in them.

    She will never see him again.

    She will never see Fu Chen again—the Fu Chen who will teach her gently when she does not understand things, the Fu Chen who will protect her when her parents are angry with her, and the Fu Chen who will help her when she is in trouble.

    "Qian Qian," Yue Ran suddenly spoke out softly.

    The beautiful girl, who had stayed silent for a long time, also looked very sad. Pearl-like tears that shone from the ends of her eyes finally fell down her cheek and dripped down from her chin to the dirty and bloody ground.

    "Do not come any closer!" Qi Qian roared.

    Qi Qian loudly stopped the girl who wanted to come over.

    She was in a mess now. Her emotions were running around, tangled, and complicated.

    On the one hand, the boy she liked died because of Yue Ran, but on the other hand, Yue Ran was also the person to whom the boy she liked had entrusted Yue Ran''s safety before his death.

    Qi Qian really did not know how to face Yue Ran. Their current relationship is far from enough to offset the fact that Fu Chen''s death was indirectly related to her.

    "Qian Qian, I did not expect this to happen either. I... I am sorry…" Yue Ran''s voice trailed off as she choked on her words.

    The beautiful girl cried very guiltily, which would make anyone who saw it feel distressed and wish to comfort her.

    Just as Qi Qian was about to speak, the system spoke in her mind again.

    Salvation System: "Things cannot be delayed any longer. The effect of the Stealth Pill will soon expire in half an hour!"

    Qi Qian gritted her teeth and forced herself to get up from the ground. She bowed at the same position three more times to pay respect to the dead body of the boy she liked before turning away.

    She really wanted to stay here with her Brother Fu Chen, to be with him whether in life or death, but she could not.

    There were still things that she had to do in the world, and one of them was to find her family. If her family members were still alive, then she would have to keep them safe. She also has to find Fu Chen''s family members.

    "Brother Fu Chen, I will go first. I will definitely find and protect Uncle and Aunt from any dangers," Qi Qian promised out loud.

    Even if Qi Qian was reluctant to leave, she still had to go out and survive first. She will definitely come back here again in the future.

    Originally, Qi Qian did not intend to bring Yue Ran with her, but when she saw just how pitiful her appearance was and then thought of Fu Chen''s last words before his death, she paused in her steps before finally deciding to bring Yue Ran along with her.

    Qi Qian has gradually accepted the title "savior" that the system has given her, although just subtly.

    However, her journey was far from safe. The two girls still encountered zombies on the way.

    Although there were only two zombies right in front of them, for two unarmed girls, one zombie may be enough to kill them and let them die a few more times.

    At that time, Qi Qian had successfully killed two zombies with the help of the system that taught her how to fight more efficiently.
