The once dry fountain suddenly gushed water, a beautiful sight, as if stimulated by something.
Su Ling walked over quickly, watching the water spray. She reached out, scooped up a handful of water, and drank it down.
The water was pure, sweet, and refreshing, as if she were bathed in a gentle breeze, making her feel incredibly light.
After drinking a handful, Su Ling savored the taste and scooped up another to drink.
She only stopped after several more drinks, then walked to the table and sat down, leaning back lazily in her chair, feeling utterly content.
With a thought, the table was laden with fruit. Su Ling picked up a large, red strawberry and took a bite.
She vaguely suspected that the fountain could produce water due to the Buddha pendant given to her by Zhang Miaomiao.
She had indeed felt a sense of divine inspiration upon seeing the Buddha pendant; it turned out to be her space responding to her.
Now, even the fountain, which she thought would never yield water, was flowing.
She had already met up with Sister Na and Hanhan. The next step was to wait for the rain to stop and the sky to clear before setting off to meet Qingqing and Yu Ling.
As for transportation, she had upgraded and modified several large RVs before the apocalypse, which would be perfect for the journey.
After finishing the fruit on the table, Su Ling, still not satisfied, took out a platter of braised delicacies and began to eat.
To pass the time, she also turned on her tablet to watch a movie she had saved.
She had made sure to stock up so she could still binge-watch shows after the apocalypse, downloading everything and even collecting physical media.
By the time one movie ended, Su Ling had also finished her braised platter. She stretched, tidied up the trash, and then began her ability training.
"Ah—"
Suddenly, a pained scream echoed from the large display screen in front of Su Ling.
Su Ling's gaze snapped to the screen.
On the multi-panel display, Chen Jiakai, who had previously severed his own arm for self-preservation, had his other, intact hand ripped off. Blood splattered everywhere, and he contorted on the ground, trembling from the pain.
Jiaojiao and Jiang Zhimin were nowhere to be seen.
Only the blood-stained floor, littered with bones bearing remnants of flesh, remained.
From the scene, it was highly likely that the two had become food for the zombies.
The zombie that had ripped off Chen Jiakai's arm was now holding and gnawing on it, its back to the screen.
Su Ling narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at the zombie.
Chen Jiakai's fate was of no concern to her.
However, the fact that the zombie could appear in Chen Jiakai's location indicated that it possessed some level of intelligence.
Furthermore, judging by the scattered bones on the ground, Jiaojiao and Jiang Zhimin had undoubtedly been devoured by it.
Therefore, the zombie on screen was very likely the one that Gu Shangse had spoken of as having escaped!
With this thought, Su Ling glanced at the screen, roughly memorized Chen Jiakai's location, and then exited her space.
The others were still asleep, clearly undisturbed by Chen Jiakai's scream.
This was normal; her space screen was designed for her to monitor the outside world.
It was like a surveillance system, providing her with real-time updates, which was why she heard Chen Jiakai's scream.
If she hadn't entered her space tonight, she wouldn't have heard it.
Emerging from the tent, Su Ling spotted Li Yunlong and walked towards him, stopping in front of him and motioning for silence.
Upon seeing her gesture, Li Yunlong fell silent and simply looked at her.
"There's a situation. I'm going down. You continue guarding here," Su Ling whispered, her voice barely audible.
After speaking, she grabbed the climbing rope and leaped down, descending rapidly.
