Immortal in The Apocalypse

Seeing that it was getting late, Xiu Wu said, "Let’s go. We had to return to the resort quickly. Otherwise, Lao Yang will lose his hair due to stress."

Hearing his words, Zhu Lin tilted her head slightly and asked, "What is stress?"

As the two of them walked side by side, Xiu Wu began to explain to her. "Stress is–"

Two days later, Xiu Wu, Zhu Lin, and Tu Tu finally arrived at the resort area. Looking at the high wall in front of her, Zhu Lin said, "The workers worked so fast. They actually completed the wall in just a few days."

Xiu Wu nodded and said, "Yes. Giving them such a high wage is indeed not a waste. At the rate they are working, our base should be complete before winter arrives."

As soon as they walked to the door, they saw Tan Wei and Ji Yang surrounded by many people in the distance. Seeing that the situation was not good, they hurried over.

A man looked at Ji Yang and asked, his eyes full of hope: "Brother Ji, can you let us stay here?"

Ji Yang shook his head and said, "I’m sorry. Now that the wall has been built, we don’t need that many workers. Besides, we can’t provide you with free food."

As soon as these words came out, a member of the Ming Wei mercenary squad said, "Brother Ji is right. Even a base as large as a military base can hardly feed its people, so what do you expect from a base that has not yet been established?"

As soon as these words came out, another supernatural being also said, "Exactly. If you want to stay here, you should work. But since there is no work to do, just leave."

As soon as he finished speaking, a man suddenly said, "It’s easy for you to say that because you still work here. If we have to leave, then you must leave too!"

"Yeah, that’s right!"

Seeing that the situation was getting worse, Xiu Wu calmly walked over with Zhu Lin. Seeing him coming back, Ji Yang smiled at him and said, "Lao Xiu, you are finally back."

"Mhm. What happened here?" Xiu Wu asked, looking at the workers.

Ji Yang smiled and said calmly: "Now that the wall has been completed, I will pay the wages today and let them leave. We only need some supernatural beings to help us build buildings and level the land. As for the ordinary people, there is no more work suitable for them."

After listening to Ji Yang’s explanation, Xiu Wu nodded, then turned to look at the crowd and said, "Everyone, as my brother said, there is no job suitable for you here. Please go back."

Seeing that there was really nothing they could do, some ordinary people felt a little disappointed and decided to leave. When a mother and son passed by Zhu Lin, her eyes suddenly flashed as she looked at the boy.

The boy walked past Zhu Lin and asked with worry in his tone: "Mother, what should we do now? Should we go back to the military base?"

The mother looked at her eleven-year-old son, shook her head, and said with tears in her eyes: "Mother... Mother doesn’t know either. With the situation at the military base, if we go back now, we might starve to death."

After saying that, the boy’s eyes turned red and he said, "Mother, don’t worry. There must be something we can do. We will be fine."

After hearing what her son said, the mother hugged her son, wiped away her tears, and said, "Mhm. We will be fine. Mother will find a way for us to survive in this world."

Watching the mother and son walk away, Zhu Lin thought for a moment and said, "Madam, please wait a moment."

When the mother heard Zhu Lin’s clear and calm voice, her inner uneasiness and fear disappeared. She turned her head and saw a very beautiful young woman looking at her with a smile on her face. Looking at that smile, the mother felt that God was watching her.

The mother looked at Zhu Lin in a daze, her eyes full of awe, and asked, "Miss, is there anything I can do for you?"

Zhu Lin walked up to her and asked, "Madam, do you have any other relatives on the military base?"

The mother shook her head and said, "At the beginning of the end of the world, my parents-in-law turned into zombies, and my husband died trying to protect us. From then on, my son and I were the only ones left in our family."

Listening to her answer, Zhu Lin looked at the boy standing in front of his mother with a protective posture. She looked into his eyes and saw the perseverance, courage, and a familiar feeling in those clear eyes.

Zhu Lin looked at him with a smile and asked, "What is your name?"

The boy stared at her for a long time and then said calmly: "My name is Zheng Jinnan. Elder Sister, what is your name?"

Zhu Lin reached out and patted his head gently. At the same time, she used her divine senses to probe into his body and said, "My name is Zhu Lin."

Two seconds later, Zhu Lin’s eyes flickered and she withdrew her hand. She looked at the mother and said, "Madam, if you have nowhere to go, why don’t you just stay here? Your son is very talented, and I want to take him as my disciple."

Hearing what she said, Zheng Jinnan and his mother were surprised. Although he has a strange feeling of closeness to this strange elder sister, he must be careful because he needs to protect his mother, and he has encountered too many liars since the end of the world began.

After coming back to his senses, Zheng Jinnan squinted at Zhu Lin and asked, "Elder Sister, why do you want to accept me as your disciple?"
