"Before death, to be able to eat so heartily."
"That was enough for me."
Although that’s what they thought, they were still shivering.
"You don’t need to be so afraid. I’m not going to eat you," Su Yinhe said as she touched her forehead, ridiculing their fear.
What Su Yinhe meant was for them not to be so frightened.
Little did she know that after she spoke these words, they became even more scared.
Their trembling intensified.
"Never mind... let them tremble then," Su Yinhe gave up.
She just sat there, chin propped on her hand, quietly watching them tremble.
She watched to see when they would get tired of trembling and stop.
They trembled longer than Su Yinhe had expected.
They really could tremble.
Su Linglong trembled for a long time, and only when tired did she stop; the mother and son, with similar faces, wore the same expression.
They cautiously glanced over.
Su Yinhe, resting her chin on her hand, watched them.
They accidentally made eye contact.
They quickly looked away.
After a few minutes, they glanced again.
Su Yinhe was still in the same pose, and they made eye contact again.
Quickly, they looked away.
What was pronounced was shyness.
To look with such caution, accidently making eye contact and then looking away.
It was as if they had a secret crush on her.
After several cycles of this, Su Linglong finally steadied her nerves and boldly approached Su Yinhe to greet her.
"Hello, was the food we just ate yours?"
Su Linglong knew her question was foolish, but she didn’t know what else to say.
"It was mine," Su Yinhe replied.
"Then...I’m sorry, what would you like?"
"I don’t want anything," Su Yinhe said pensively. She would have liked something, but they had nothing to offer.
She was not a merciless person, knowing they had nothing to give and still forcing them to give.
"You can go now. Look at that sign," Su Yinhe pointed, signaling them to go and look.
Su Linglong hadn’t expected that after having eaten so much food, it seemed like there was no punishment.
Su Yinhe told them to look, so she went with her son to see.
Su Linglong looked at the words on the sign, and her eyes widened.
Exchange Crystal Cores for money, then exchange money for food.
Her mind told her it was impossible; she even wondered if she had died and gone to heaven.
That wasn’t entirely out of the question.
She and her son, Su An, hadn’t eaten for several days; dying of starvation wasn’t impossible.
Su Linglong touched her stomach, and Su An also touched his, the two of them exchanging glances.
Their stomachs were full, still full, stuffed.
If this was heaven, it was too real.
Su Linglong was more inclined to believe they hadn’t died yet.
They were lucky to have encountered a kind-hearted young lady.
Su Linglong looked towards Su Yinhe.
After directing them, Su Yinhe began playing with her phone.
When Su Linglong looked over, she could only see her profile.
At a glance, she seemed a very gentle person.
Also, a very kind-hearted person.
This thought suddenly popped into Su Linglong’s mind.
She knew that the word "kind-hearted" wasn’t suitable for the apocalypse.
But when she looked at the woman before her, that was the word that came to mind.
"Mom," Su An squeezed her hand, bringing the slightly distracted Su Linglong back to attention.
"Anan, we should put more effort in now," Su Linglong patted Su An’s head.
Crystal Cores could be exchanged for supplies.
She had superpowers, otherwise she couldn’t have survived this long with a child, though they weren’t very powerful.
But she saw it, written on the sign, even Low-level Crystal Cores could be exchanged.
Although they fetched little, it was safer.
Having lived so long in the apocalypse, they initially encountered Zombies in panic and fear, but it had now become commonplace.
The low-level Zombies they met now didn’t scare them at all, a safe species of Zombies.
Su Linglong took her son out to find Zombies.
Before leaving the supermarket, the two of them ran up to Su Yinhe, holding hands, and bowed to thank her.
Big and small, neat and tidy.
Very good, very good.
She liked parents and children who were polite and knew manners.
The two of them left.
But they had already triggered memories for Su Yinhe.
They reminded Su Yinhe of the spoiled children and their parents she had encountered before.
She had wanted to kill people so many times.
If it hadn’t been for the law.
She would definitely have thrown the spoiled child who pulled her hair and kicked her bag in the vehicle along with the parent who indulged them out of the car.
She really hated spoiled children.
What she hated even more were the parents who supported and indulged those spoiled children.
However, she now uses ride-sharing services and has a private driver; she’s rich now and no longer needs to squeeze onto subways or buses.
She’s wealthy now, and from now on, she doesn’t need to take public transport or walk, she can just take a car.
She wouldn’t encounter spoiled children on rides anymore.
As for elsewhere... that remained to be seen.
Irresponsible parents are everywhere.
But, when it’s time, she’d just start fighting.
After all, she’s rich now, she can afford it.
Su Yinhe thought she was really arrogant.
But she loved this arrogant side of herself.
She liked it very much.
She hoped to keep it up.
Su Yinhe took out a mirror and looked at herself; she could already imagine how dashing she would be in the future.
She appreciated her reflection in advance.
While Su Yinhe was looking in the mirror, Su Linglong was out with her son looking for Zombies.
They had eaten their fill, but having been hungry for so long, they were still weak.
Now that they were full, only their stomachs were full, but they were still physically weak.
So, although Su Linglong had superpowers, she didn’t dare confront the more powerful Zombies directly.
She only dared to look for low-level Zombies first.
Get some Crystal Cores first.
To see if it really could be exchanged, and what they could get.
Su Linglong only knew now that they could exchange Crystal Cores for money, then buy food, but she didn’t know how much food the money could buy.
All she wanted now was to get some Crystal Cores to see.
Su An was well-behaved and obedient; though he couldn’t do much, he still managed to help look.
However, being young, after searching for a while, he tilted his head and spoke to Su Linglong.
"Mommy, that was really good. Can we eat more?"
Hearing this, Su Linglong also licked her lips; they had eaten hurriedly just now, gulping down many things without even tasting them.
But the flavors still lingered on their tongues, and they felt it after eating.
Now smacking her lips, there was still a taste.
Su Linglong savored it again.
