Immortal in The Apocalypse

Although Zheng Jinnan and his mother worked at this base for a week, they only stayed outside the wall and never set foot in the resort area. Since he didn’t know the way, he nodded and said, "Then I will trouble Elder Sister Meng to lead the way."

"Let me wash my hands first." Meng Zhelan walked towards the kitchen as she spoke.

She put the rag on the countertop, washed her hands, and said, "Na Na, I will take Xiao Zheng to get daily necessities. You don’t need to wait for me. I will go directly to the water station from the public office in a while."

"All right. See you later." Wen Na said while wiping the plates.

After leaving the villa, Meng Zhelan and Zheng Jinnan went to the public office. Seeing her coming, the supernatural being working there asked, "Meng Meng, do you want to go get the daily necessities for the next month?"

Meng Zhelan shook her head and said, "There are still some left at home. Today I brought my new housemate here. He was brought by Brother Ji himself."

After listening to her words, the worker looked at Zheng Jinnan, who was thin and dirty, and said with a smile: "Little brother, do you live alone?"

Zheng Jinnan shook his head and said, "I live with my mother."

The worker nodded and said, "Little brother, I need to write down your information before you can take the daily necessities. "

Nodding at the worker, Zheng Jinnan calmly said, "All right."

After completing the formalities, Meng Zhelan and Zheng Jinnan left the public office. She looked at him and said, "I still have work. Can you go home alone?"

"Yes. Thank you for your help, Elder Sister Meng." Zheng Jinnan said gratefully.

Patting his shoulder lightly, Meng Zhelan nodded and said, "Mhm. See you later, Xiao Zheng."

Watching her walk away, Zheng Jinnan looked thoughtfully at the big package in his hand. He struggled to survive together with his mother for nearly five months after the apocalypse began, and this was the first time he received kindness from strangers.

After a long silence, he muttered as he walked back to the villa, ".... This place is not bad."

An hour later, when the sun finally rose from the eastern horizon, Mother Zheng and Zheng Jinnan arrived at the villa on the top of the hill. Mother Zheng felt a little nervous when looking at the huge and luxurious three-story villa. She wiped her sweaty hands on her clothes before she knocked on the door.

Knock, knock, knock.

They didn’t wait long before someone opened the door. Looking at the five-year-old little girl, Zheng’s mother was a little surprised. She bent down and asked with a smile: "Little girl, is this Miss Zhu’s home?"

The little girl tilted her head and thought for a moment, nodded, and pulled Mother Zheng’s index finger. Knowing that the little girl wanted her to follow, Mother Zheng and Zheng Jinnan followed her to the dining room.

When they arrived at the dining room, Mother Zheng was surprised to find that more than thirty children were eating with Zhu Lin and others. After showing Mother Zheng and Zheng Jinnan their seats, the little girl returned to her seat and continued eating breakfast.

Seeing that the mother and son were already seated, Ji Yang smiled and said, "I don’t know what you two like to eat, so we have prepared some varieties of food for you to choose from."

After speaking, he poured a cup of hot soy milk for the two of them and said, "Today is the day when Xiao Nan becomes Xiao Lin’s disciple, so we should celebrate."

Mother Zheng accepted their kindness and was so nervous that she didn’t dare to move her chopsticks until Zhu Lin picked up a fried dough stick for her and said, "Eat it quickly."

Seeing Zhu Lin treating her like a child, Mother Zheng was a little confused. When Mother Zheng finally moved her chopsticks, Zheng Jinnan looked at Zhu Lin and asked, "Shifu, do you have anything for me to do today?"

Zhu Lin nodded, took out a thick book, and said, "Shifu prepared this book for you with the help of Xiu Wu. Come to me after you finish memorizing this book and can recite it backward."

Zheng Jinnan looked at the thick book on the table and was speechless. It looked like he wouldn’t be able to visit his Shifu for a few years. Zhu Lin saw his hesitation, glanced at him, and asked, "Do you have any objections?"

Hearing her question, Zheng Jinnan said, "Shifu, this may take me several years to completely memorize the book. I need to work to earn food and supplies, so..."

After listening to his words, Zhu Lin thought for a while and said, "Ah, Shifu forgot about that. Then we can’t take the normal route."

After saying that, she put the thick book back into the Qiankun bag. Looking at Zheng Jinnan’s complicated expression, Zhu Lin said, "Eat first."

"Yes, Shifu." Zheng Jinnan nodded and began to eat with relish.

Having said that, they enjoyed their breakfast while chatting leisurely. After they cleaned the dining room, Zhu Lin took Zheng Jinnan to the living room and said, "Sit down and close your eyes."

Zheng Jinnan nodded, sat cross-legged on the floor, and closed his eyes. Seeing that his eyelids were still moving, Zhu Lin said, "Concentrate and calm your heart."

Following her instructions, he soon entered a meditative state. Zhu Lin was satisfied with her disciple’s talent and tapped his forehead with her index finger. In the next second, countless pieces of information poured into Zheng Jinnan’s mind like a river.

Two minutes later, Zhu Lin withdrew her index finger and said, "I have just implanted a cultivation technique suitable for you. You have to come here to cultivate for at least four hours every morning and evening."

After saying that, she looked at Mother Zheng and said, "Madam, please go back first. As his Shifu, I will provide you and Jinnan with food and supplies. You don’t need to worry and take care of yourself."
