Chapter 1

“Sister Yu, that little brat has been freeloading ever since she joined our squad. She doesn’t lift a finger! This is the Apocalypse, for crying out loud-we aren’t running a charity! I think…”n
The speaker was a short, scrawny man with sharp, monkey-like features. Though he kept his voice low, he couldn’t hide his indignation.

The woman addressed as Sister Yu was tall and strikingly beautiful. Hers was a bold, vivid kind of beauty that made it impossible to look away.

However, she carried herself with an imposing aura. A faint chill flickered in her eyes as she glanced at the scrawny man, her gaze sharp and laced with mockery.

“She’s only five years old. What exactly do you expect a child to do? If you throw her out, she wouldn’t even be enough to get stuck in a zombie’s teeth! Killing zombies, scavenging supplies, and keeping watch-those are jobs for us adults. If you have a problem with her, you’re free to get lost!”

The scrawny man was momentarily speechless, but he kept his neck stiff and argued back, “One more person means one more mouth to feed. Besides, kids are emotionally unstable. What if she throws a tantrum and attracts a horde of zombies? I’m just looking out for the team!”

The woman sneered. “When has Yingying ever thrown a tantrum? That little girl is sensible, obedient, and quiet. What exactly did she do to offend you? When she first joined the squad, you were the one praising her for being so smart and pretty…”

A flash of guilt crossed the man’s eyes, quickly replaced by blustering bravado. “Just you wait. Sooner or later, she’s going to be the downfall of this team!”

Hiding in the shadows, I sighed silently.

In my past life, I saw comments online where people said that once they finally left the house, they realized it wasn’t even raining outside.

Then I realized that in this life, the moment I left home, the wind and waves nearly slapped me to death.

Dad, it’s the seventeenth day since I started missing you. QAQ.
