In the apocalypse, orbs were the most straightforward currency and with Qu Yan’s actions, it sparked the feeling of having a sugar daddy in Pei Ran. He flicked away the system that kept trying to block his way and then hugged Qu Yan. Swirling them around, Pei Ran pressed Qu Yan up against the wall.

At the moment however, there was a different problem, one that was way more important than those shiny orbs on the bed.

With a sleepy haziness still in Pei Ran’s low husky voice and his eyebrows raised up in challenge, he stared down at the person who was shorter than him by about half a head,

“Was I too easy on you that you still had the energy to go kill zombies yesterday, hmm?”

This situation infringed a bit on his dignity as a man. Out of the two of them, one went to end zombie lives while the other was snoring away on the bed. If he didn’t know better, he would’ve thought that he was bad at sex.

With these kinds of things, Qu Yan knew more and had more advanced knowledge than his peers of the same age, and he immediately understood the reason why Pei Ran was unhappy. He tilted his head, closed his eyes, and hid away the smile on the corners of his lips. He then stared at Pei Ran with slightly reddened tear ducts, quietly saying in a voice that sounded a bit pitiful, 

“I have no strength left, my waist hurts……”

See, that’s right, that’s how a normal person would react.

Pei Ran massaged at Qu Yan’s waist, his actions awkward and a bit unfamiliar, evident signs of never having done anything like this to another human. But this kind of awkward caring hit right at Qu Yan’s heart. He buried his face in the other’s neck, leaning as if he were boneless, full of reliance and trust.

“Go rest your eyes for a bit. I’m going to wash up.”

Pei Ran gathered up the orbs and put them on the sofa, planning to take care of them in a little bit. He went to wash up in the bathroom yet when he twisted the tap, no water came out. The bathroom light was also off and only then did he realize that there was no electricity and water.

Such a big base naturally could not have its power cut and Pei Ran remembered then the water bill he had only briefly glanced at on the front desk and fell into a deep state of contemplation. It was no wonder why so many people could not afford to live in the central district; the monthly water bill for the apartment was more expensive than the rent.

Not even a day and he was back to the life of saving water and using bottled water to wash his face. Pei Ran cleaned his face with a towel and then folded under the weight of reality, getting ready to go hunt zombies.

There was a huge pile of orbs delivered right to his doorstep yet he must go and find some himself. When Pei Ran saw the orbs on the sofa, he felt his heart bleed, desperately wishing to send the system away.

[ Soon~ ]

Onee-sans will always be more interested in cute boys than handsome, mature ones.

Pei Ran immediately heard the interest thick in her tone and reached over to rest an arm around Qu Yan’s shoulders in a subtle show of possessiveness. He pointed at Qu Yan and casually said, 

“My younger brother.”1

There were a few electric type ability holders that the higher ups in the base had in their repertoire and their leader could only dream of having another pair of eyes on them to make sure they were all safe and sound. The highest level right now was already level 4, and without any interference, he could immediately one shot two level 4 zombies. Not to speak of the ability that was the hardest to level up, the psychic ability, so it was no wonder why Xiao Mi was so shocked.

Tao Xi Ran didn’t have it in her to explain any further and unsheathed her Tang Dao sword and rushed directly into the building.2

The electric ability had more of an AOE attack so within a few minutes, Pei Ran had already taken care of the zombies on the first floor with his electric net. He was just crouched on the ground, digging for orbs, with Qu Yan protecting him from the back and using his psychic ability to investigate every inch of this building, when Qu Yan bent down, using his fingernails to lightly scratch at Pei Ran’s shoulders. Qu Yan quietly whispered, 

“I’m just going to head up for a bit. Be right back.”

Pei Ran thought that there was a high probability that a high level zombie was up top, so he nodded his head and said, 

“Alright, be safe.”

The corners of Qu Yan’s lips hooked up and he lightly pecked at Pei Ran’s lips before going up the escalator to the upper floors. When Tao Xi Ran and her team came running in, they only saw Pei Ran digging for orbs by himself in the wide open atrium.

Xiao Mi looked all around to see the fried zombies and stuck her tongue out before hiding behind Tao Xi Ran, only revealing her head as she observed Pei Ran. She could see that this man really hated the task of digging out brain matter, his face a show of total disgust.

Tao Xi Ran asked, 

“Hey, where’s your partner? Did he dump you?”

Pei Ran’s head didn’t even move and he didn’t say much, 

“Still a kid with a desire to play. Who knows where he ran off to.”

Just as he finished grabbing all the orbs from the zombies on the first floor, Pei Ran dusted off his pants and headed towards the second floor. Tao Xi Ran signaled for her team to follow along and grabbed her sword tightly in a familiar stance, preparing for any sudden zombie ambushes.

Just as they reached the corner with the elevator, a sudden roar rang out as a black shadow rushed towards them. Pei Ran was just preparing to defend them when an icy glimmer flashed before his eyes, and Tao Xi Ran decapitated the zombie.

Pei Ran quietly looked down at the brain matter splattered on him, thinking that these women were truly so strong.

The members of the seventh squad were used to this scene and all gave a thumbs up, 

“Captain, you’re amazing!”

Tao Xi Ran’s fire ability was at the peak of level 2, but she liked using her sword more. With smooth and experienced movements, she chopped the heads off the zombies and suddenly exclaimed in surprise, 

“What, they’re tier 2 zombies!”

To avoid trying to kill the same zombies, Pei Ran had especially avoided their direction so he had not noticed at first, but something sparked in his brain then and his expression changed as the zombies he was killing were all T2, and he quickly ran back towards Tao Xi Ran.

Tao Xi Ran said, 

“Hey, handsome fellow, how many zombies have you killed?”

Pei Ran’s eyebrows were tightly furrowed, 

“Do you find that something’s not quite right? The zombies I killed on the first floor were all T1, then the zombies on the second floor were all T2, and the third floor……”

Tao Xi Ran paused and realized the issue. Team 7 all reflexively lifted their heads to look up, but they were not sure, 

“So according to what you’re saying, it wouldn’t all be T3s on the third level right……”

Zombies were not humans, so how could they be split by their levels like this. But even so, the group couldn’t help but back up, preparing to leave.
