Song Kerou’s gaze lingered on Leng Yebai for a second, filled with infatuation.

He’s been the one she’s dreamed of since her youth.

Cold and aloof has become his calling card.

She thought that was his true nature.

But upon seeing his attitude towards Bai Xiqin, she realized, Leng Yebai is actually a warm man.

The warmth is not for her.

Even though Leng Yebai had no feelings for her at all, even hit her, he is still the one she yearns for.

The boy from the orphanage, she never forgot, even after being adopted she never met anyone better than him.

Last time, during the cabin collapse event, the look in Leng Yebai’s eyes that seemed he wanted to kill her, she has always kept in her heart.

She once thought about giving up, but the moment she saw Leng Yebai, all decisions became unimportant.

Even if only for one day she could be the one Leng Yebai thinks of, she would die willingly.

However, that’s impossible.

Song Kerou fiercely glared at Bai Xiqin’s back, wishing she could bore a hole through her.

Why is she still alive!

Song Kerou even thought that if Bai Xiqin died because of her, would Leng Yebai remember her for a lifetime?

Even if he hated her, Song Kerou would be willing.

She held back her urge to approach Leng Yebai and start a conversation, and also held back the thought of killing Bai Xiqin, only able to creepily follow behind them.

Now she must stay calm, cannot let success slip away.

Finally having a chance to find where the Song Family are living, she must clearly see which villa it is.

This decides whether she can eat her fill in the future.

Growl growl —

The stomach made a growling noise, Song Kerou subconsciously placed her hand on her belly.

Her eyes were glued to the lamb on Song Hongfei’s shoulder and the pile of things Leng Yebai was carrying.

She couldn’t help but swallow some saliva.

So hungry!

Today she only ate one hard bun, almost unable to bite.

Zhu Cheng, that useless guy, seemed to take good care of her, but in fact she couldn’t get enough to eat following him!

Just like a refugee!

Song Kerou’s gaze landed on the plastic bag Leng Yebai was holding.

From a distance, she could see it contained some snacks and fruits.

Snacks with high sugar and salt content used to be the enemy of her figure.

Now without anything to eat, spicy strips or extremely sweet biscuits have become scarce goods in the safe base.

When people have no food, a little of these snacks can sustain for a long time.

Song Kerou arduously turned her gaze away, quietly following the trio.

She constantly reassured herself in her heart, once she returned to the Song Family, she could eat whatever she wanted!

This time, she would even pay out for Song Ning, she was resigned to it.

She was just too hungry!

Song Kerou didn’t voice her thoughts, if Song Ning knew, he would surely curse her as a jinx!

The trio walked further into the secluded area, heading straight for the king tower in the center of the villa area.

Surrounded by gardens, green plants canopying, the king tower position seemed much cooler.

The sounds of birds and insects chirping occasionally, very lively.

The villa area originally was not the location of the Base Commander’s manor, it was close to his estate, a complex he invested in.

Later, the Base Commander turned the manor and nearby lands into a sizable safe base, allowing those who could afford Crystal Cores to reside.

Some of the Crystal Cores collected were used for base maintenance, the rest went into the Base Commander’s pocket.

No need to guess, the wealthiest inside the safe base was the Base Commander.

Thinking about the rent of so many Crystal Cores a month, Song Kerou increasingly found Leng Yebai hot.

Even if being hit, she still wanted to cling tight to that leg.

But, she understood she couldn’t tempt Leng Yebai, needing to find other opportunities.

With her stomach constantly hungry, she only wanted to secure a long-term meal ticket first.

After walking for some time, hadn’t tracked the exact villa location, Song Kerou already guessed which villa the Song Family moved into, likely the central king tower.

A hint of viciousness appeared in Song Kerou’s eyes.

Already wealthy enough to buy two villas, why couldn’t they give her more Crystal Cores?

Several days had passed, no one came to find her.

Song Ning kicked her out, yet as parents, no word of inquiry, how was that fitting?

Song Kerou frantically pressed her thin lips, her eyes nearly spewing fire.

Watching them enter the villa, Song Kerou glanced at her own clothes, turned and left.

She couldn’t rush in, needed to "disguise" a bit, lest they see her doing alright and truly ignore her!

The Song Family didn’t know Song Kerou had located the villa, they were preparing dinner for the day.

Song Ning wore an apron, quickly took over Song Hongfei’s mutated goat shoulder, swiftly dissecting the lamb, adding a main dish for tonight’s dinner.

Song’s mother smiled as she held Bai Xiqin’s fingers, "Come, Xiao Niu, sit on the sofa and rest for a while."

The coffee table was already set with clean cups, even some snacks.

Sunflower seeds, peanuts, and some candies.

"Where’s Wenwen?"

Upon entering, Bai Xiqin glanced around, didn’t see Xiao Lan Zombie.

The whole house was very clean, not even a trace of decay, didn’t resemble a place housing a zombie.

It seems the Song Family are diligent, not minding Wenwen, treating this as a real home, keeping it spotless.

"She’s in her room, I’ll call her out later, she definitely wants..."

Before Song’s mother finished speaking, a room on the innermost floor of the villa suddenly sounded with banging.

As if heavy things were hitting the door.

This sound was familiar to Bai Xiqin, it’s the sound of a zombie crashing against the door.

Normal zombies can’t open doors, nor knock, wanting to eat flesh, they use their entire body to constantly hit the door.

The banging sound is especially eerie.

However, Bai Xiqin didn’t feel it to be creepy, even had a smile on her face.

"Xiao Lan, do you know I’m here?"

Saying this, Bai Xiqin walked towards the innermost room, reaching out, ready to open the door.

Song’s mother carefully looked at Bai Xiqin’s eyes, finding no disdain, her brows arched, filled with kindness.

Song’s mother felt indescribable, her eyes slightly moist.

The daughter has turned like this, not expecting anyone besides family to be good to her, be friends.

Having one or two, she was content.

Bai Xiqin now showed no distaste for her daughter, Song’s mother already considered Bai Xiqin as Song Wenwen’s best friend.

Song’s mother sneakily glanced at Leng Yebai, who bore a great resemblance to the Base Commander, finding apart from his cold demeanor, he showed no disdain, now truly relieved.

While Song’s mother was absorbed in thoughts of various chaos, with a click, Bai Xiqin opened the door.

"Roar—"

Xiao Lan Zombie suddenly charged at Bai Xiqin, stopping abruptly ten centimeters away.

Let out a slightly aggrieved roar.

Why now!
