Chapter 108
Lin Chen and Xia Nuan returned to Vault of Heaven Villa, lay on the bed, and fell asleep not long after.
Just entered deep sleep, a "bang bang" sound suddenly came from outside the door,
mixed with faint crying, and the two were woken up instantly. Lin Chen frowned,
got up and walked to the window, gently lifted a corner of the curtain, and poked his head out of the window to look—outside stood a pregnant woman and a four or five-year-old child, the pregnant woman wearing a thin coat, holding the child tightly in her arms, shivering all over.
"Please,
can you give us some clothes and food?" The pregnant woman saw Lin Chen at the window,
and quickly begged, "We haven't eaten for three days, the child is almost frozen stiff,
we are almost frozen to death." Lin Chen remembered Song Jia's encounter earlier, and Old Zhou's death,
his heart full of vigilance, and said coldly,
"Bullshit,
no!
Didn't you get an anti-freeze needle from someone else?"
The pregnant woman was stunned for a moment,
then nodded: "Yes, someone gave us an anti-freeze needle on the first day of the doomsday, but recently I always feel something is wrong, my body is always uncomfortable,
and it's getting colder, and the child is always crying." Lin Chen didn't soften his heart, still tough: "No means no, get out quickly, don't get in the way here!"
The pregnant woman bit her lip, didn't speak again, just sat on the ground at the villa gate holding the child,
her eyes full of despair. Lin Chen just wanted to close the window when he suddenly heard a roar from the distance—several mutated rats and mutated dogs rushed out from the alley,
followed by a group of white-eyed zombies, ordinary zombies, and mutated zombies, densely packed, pouncing toward the direction of the pregnant woman and the child.
"Be careful!
" Lin Chen shouted subconsciously, but it was already too late. The mutated rats rushed to the pregnant woman's side first,
biting her leg, and the child in her arms was also pounced on by a mutated dog.
In just a few seconds, the pregnant woman and the child were surrounded by zombies and mutated creatures, and soon there was no movement, only the sound of flesh and blood being torn.
After solving the pregnant woman and the child, the zombies and mutated creatures turned and rushed toward the villa,
constantly scratching and biting the villa gate and walls with their claws and teeth, but couldn't bite through at all—Lin Chen had reinforced the villa's defense before,
and ordinary attacks couldn't damage it. Lin Chen saw this, immediately mobilized his Absolute Zero ability,
condensed a strong cold air in his palm, and swung it at the zombies and mutated creatures outside the gate.
The cold air instantly covered the entire courtyard, the movements of the zombies and mutated creatures instantly stagnated,
and soon they were frozen into ice sculptures, falling straight to the ground, no longer moving.
Xia Nuan also heard the movement outside, walked to the window, saw the ice sculptures in the courtyard, her face pale, and tears couldn't help but fall: "They... they died just like that, so pitiful."
Lin Chen walked to Xia Nuan's side, patted her back gently, and told her about the pregnant woman's plea,
and the zombie attack, his tone calm: "Don't be afraid, dead is dead,
not worth sympathizing with. In the doomsday, being soft-hearted will only put yourself in danger,
we have already experienced too much, we can't let ourselves get hurt because of sympathizing with others."
Xia Nuan nodded, wiped her tears, but still couldn't help looking at the ice sculptures outside the window,
her eyes full of complexity. Lin Chen didn't speak again, just held her hand,
and returned to the room: "Don't think about it anymore, continue sleeping, we still need to watch out for He Shao and the others' movements tomorrow, can't be careless." Xia Nuan said "um",
lay on the bed, but tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, the appearance of the pregnant woman and the child kept appearing in her mind. Lin Chen noticed her unease,
reached out and hugged her, saying softly: "Don't be afraid, with me here, I will protect you." Xia Nuan leaned in his arms, gradually calmed down, and slowly closed her eyes.
