An An's Diary

Based on An An's figure, Xiao Feng picked out a set of underwear for her, along with some clothes that Xiao Feng believed looked good.

He took little girl and An An into the bathroom.

Xiao Feng meticulously assisted them in a top-to-toe grooming process.

Afterward, he helped them change into the new clothes.

During this arduous process, Xiao Feng had to suppress his inner tumultuous thoughts.

"She's just a zombie, she's just a zombie!" Xiao Feng constantly repeated to himself.

Finally, he took a deep breath and completed the dressing process.

Then, Xiao Feng found a room for them.

He wasn't sure if zombies slept or not.

In any case, Xiao Feng arranged them together. Perhaps this could help them regain human thoughts.

After nightfall, Xiao Feng observed their behavior more than once.

During this process, he realized that letting them sleep was an unwise choice.

Because zombies became even more active at night than if they had been injected with chicken blood.

Lying on the bed, Xiao Feng slowly took out a pocket-sized diary.

He had found it on An An when he was changing her clothes today.

It recorded some of An An's experiences before and after infection.

Through the diary, Xiao Feng learned that the little girl's name was Anne (An Ne).

Why did both the mother and daughter have the name An?

It turned out that Anne wasn't An An's daughter.

An An had once been a volunteer teacher in an impoverished area, and that was when she met Anne.

Anne was an orphan with no one to care for her in her village.

After An An finished her volunteer work, she applied for Anne's guardianship and brought her to Yu Lin City.

Xiao Feng looked at the content of the diary with a sense of loss.

Their story was truly heart-wrenching.

It's important to note that when An An made this decision, she was still a young girl, a young girl who hadn't been married yet.

Raising a girl with no blood relation all on her own had a significant impact on her future marriage and family.

But even so, An An didn't hesitate.

This is also why Anne, after being infected, was able to retain some of her humanity. The fundamental reason was the deep desire to protect her own mother.

It was this desire that resisted the virus that was invading her body.

June 20, 21, Sunny.

Today marks the third day since the outbreak of the virus.

I tried to find food, but our neighbor, Teacher Wang, has already been infected, blocking my hopes of going downstairs.

The food for Anne and me is no longer enough to sustain us for three days.

.....

June 21, 2021, Sunny.

Today, there was a military rescue operation over the school. I couldn't escape, and I was even injured by Teacher Wang.

.....

June 22, 2021, Sunny.

I seem to have a fever. Is this a sign of infection before it happened? But... Anne is still with me.

.....

June 23, 2021, Sunny.

I tied up my hands and feet with a rope because I'm worried I might harm Anne after being infected. When Anne saw me like this, she cried so much, and I was afraid she might attract zombies, so I gave her sleeping pills to make her fall asleep.

.....

June 24, 2021, Sunny.

I... I know Anne's life may be nearing its end, but... don't let me see it. Let me go first.

.....

The final words in the diary were so chaotic that Xiao Feng could hardly decipher them.

From the last diary entry, it was evident that An An had been completely infected. Xiao Feng could sense her initial despair through the messy handwriting. The overwhelming feeling of not wanting to see her daughter get hurt was palpable through the disorganized text.

Furthermore, Xiao Feng could infer from the diary's content that the virus wasn't as aggressive at the time of infection. It took three to four days for An An to become fully infected. It seemed that the strength of the virus had a lot to do with an individual's constitution.

After closing the diary, Xiao Feng took out the picture from earlier in the day. He placed it inside the diary and then stored it in his inventory.

"Perhaps in the future, they can be healed, and they'll be able to see that picture again, read the contents of the diary once more!"

.....

.....

The next day, Xiao Feng was awakened early by a knocking on the door.

When he went downstairs, he saw that Anne and her mother were standing at the door, looking alert.

"Hehe! Don't worry, you can step aside!" Xiao Feng waved his hand, and the mother and daughter immediately moved to the side.

Xiao Feng then addressed Anne, saying, "Do you remember what I told you yesterday? You can't attack others without my permission, understood?"

Anne tilted her head, seemingly contemplating the question, and after a moment, she nodded gently.

Opening the door, a cool morning breeze swept in. Outside were the people from Shelter No. 9, led by a man named Li Fei.

"Li Fei?"

Upon seeing the leader outside, Xiao Feng welcomed them in.

"Boss, take a look at what I brought for you!"

After Li Fei entered the house, he gestured to his subordinates, who immediately started unloading bags.

To Xiao Feng's curious gaze, Li Fei triumphantly explained, "Boss, we've got twenty razorback goats, five bloodfang boars, and another fifty mutated pigeons!"

"How is that? Is it enough?" he asked.

Seeing Li Fei's proud expression, Xiao Feng couldn't help but smile and replied, "The razorback goats are enough, but we could use more of these bloodfang boars!"

"Well... these bloodfang boars have high attack power, and they hide in the mountains. There are other dangerous mutant beasts in those mountains, so it's challenging to catch them," Li Fei explained with some regret.

"No problem, we'll take whatever you have!" Xiao Feng waved his hand, and his people started bringing in all the supplies.

However, at that moment, An An suddenly let out a low, eerie growl. Hearing this familiar zombie sound, Li Fei and his people nervously pointed their weapons at An An.

"Stop!"

Xiao Feng immediately shouted, "Don't get agitated, she won't hurt you!"

Xiao Feng did his best to calm down Li Fei and his group.

Afterward, he quickly approached Anne ad said, "Go calm down your mom. Otherwise, there won't be any crystal core for you in the future!"

Anne seemed to realize her mistake and tugged at her mother's hand.

Suddenly, Anne's mother fell silent and stood quietly to the side.

"Boss, are you sure about this... she's a zombie!" Li Fei nervously whispered and cautiously stood behind Xiao Feng.

"Don't worry; they are quite spiritually sensitive. They won't harm you!" Xiao Feng reassured Li Fei and the others.

With Xiao Feng's assurance, Li Fei breathed a sigh of relief.
