Chapter 18: Simple Happiness

Ye Feng dressed quickly and jogged back to his home on the 14th floor.
“Awooo!”
As soon as he entered, the husky wagged its tail and came over with a pitiful look.
“Xiao Bai!!”
Ye Feng scooped it up and then stored its dog food in his space.
After making a round inside to ensure nothing was left behind, Ye Feng took Xiao Bai back to their new home.
Lin Xiaoxiao was too exhausted and sleeping soundly.
Ye Feng’s movements didn’t wake her.
He tossed Xiao Bai into the spare bedroom and gave it a large pile of snacks.
Ye Feng then returned to bed and soon fell into a deep sleep.
...
The next morning, at dawn.
While still asleep, a panicked voice sounded in Ye Feng’s ear.
“Brother Feng, something’s wrong!”
Lin Xiaoxiao’s tone was anxious.
“What’s wrong?” Ye Feng was shaken awake, still groggy.
“Brother, look outside!”
Lin Xiaoxiao pointed toward the window.
Ye Feng looked in the direction of her finger.
The crimson mist outside was even denser than yesterday!
“How could this be? Wasn’t the red mist thinning day by day?” Lin Xiaoxiao was filled with worry.
Ye Feng stretched leisurely and said calmly, “Xiaoxiao, don’t worry. I’ve got everything under control.”
He had encountered this situation in his previous life.
The red mist contained energy that facilitated the formation of crystal cores within zombies.
By the seventh day, some zombies would develop crystal cores.
By the tenth day, a transformation in the world would occur, bringing opportunities...
“Also, we’ve got an extra dog at home now!”
Lin Xiaoxiao’s panic continued.
Ye Feng smiled and explained, “Don’t panic. That’s my dog, Xiao Bai. I brought him back yesterday.”
“From now on, taking care of him will be your responsibility.”
Hearing this, Lin Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief.
“Oh, that’s how it is.”
She patted her chest and promised, “No problem! Xiao Bai’s in good hands with me!”
Ye Feng glanced over.
Magnificent and impressive.
Eye-catching.
Lin Xiaoxiao approached Xiao Bai and petted its head.
“So you’re called Xiao Bai, huh?”
“Woof!”
Xiao Bai was carefree and quickly accepted his new mistress.
Ye Feng opened his phone to check the news.
“Woke up and damn... the sky has changed again!”
“Hahaha... Can someone tell me what it means when the red mist thickens?”
“What does it mean? Hahaha, I’ll tell you—it means I woke up and gained powers, hahaha...”
The increase in powered individuals was no coincidence.
In the future, not only would powered people multiply, but mutated zombies would also increase.

According to later statistics:
Blue Star’s population was 10 billion, with about 2 billion survivors.
Among the survivors, roughly five percent would awaken supernatural abilities.
This meant nearly 100 million powered individuals across Blue Star.
Of course, since powers awakened gradually over the course of a month, the actual number surviving was far less than 100 million.
Ye Feng continued browsing messages.
“Why? Why am I not a powered person!”
“I’m so unlucky! Not powered, out of food for two days, and now the power is out. I think I’m going to die...”
“Someone save me! I’m fair-skinned, beautiful, long legs, skilled in everything—singing, playing instruments, you name it...”
“...”
Lin Xiaoxiao played with Xiao Bai for a while.
Then, they both sat by Ye Feng’s side, scrolling through short videos.
The content was surprisingly explicit.
“Someone save me, I’ve been hungry for three days!”
“My wife and kids turned into zombies. What’s the point of living now?”
“...”
Lin Xiaoxiao grew increasingly frightened and finally burrowed into Ye Feng’s arms.
“Ye Feng, do you think humanity still has a future?” Her beautiful eyes were full of worry.
“Relax, the sky won’t fall,” Ye Feng smiled.
What they faced now was just the appetizer.
The situation would only worsen.
Zombies would mutate, beasts would run rampant, plants would twist, ferocious creatures would ravage, sea monsters would invade, and otherworldly realms would descend...
However, humans are highly adaptable.
No matter how harsh the environment, they always find a way to survive...
Ye Feng and Lin Xiaoxiao got up together and freshened up.
“Xiaoxiao, how about we eat this for breakfast?”
Ye Feng took out two bags of wontons from his space and handed one to Lin Xiaoxiao.
“Wow, little wontons? Awesome!”
Lin Xiaoxiao accepted the wontons, mouth watering.
“They’re wontons, or something close enough... I think?” Ye Feng said uncertainly.
“I’ll cook them.” Lin Xiaoxiao went into the kitchen and busied herself.
Ye Feng lazily lay on the sofa, pulling out his phone to pass the time.
“Red mist spreading, zombies growing stronger—how are we supposed to survive!”
“...I’m doomed. A suspected mutated zombie just appeared in the corridor!”
“Power’s out here!”
“Heh, your power just went out? Ours went out yesterday. Now my phone’s about to die anytime!”
“Damn it, we’re really screwed now!”
“...”
Bad news poured in from all across the country.
The internet was filled with complaints and anger.
Ye Feng furrowed his brows.
“Power outage?”
A few days ago, only isolated cities had lost power.
Now, more and more places were going dark.
This was not good news.
When did Jiang City lose power in his previous life?
Ye Feng pondered hard.
It should have been on the tenth day.
Power outages were inevitable.
Moreover, without electricity, water supply, internet, and gas would also gradually stop.

Things would only get worse.
Ye Feng’s eyes flickered as he thought deeply.
“No crystal cores yet, so hunting zombies is pointless... none of the previous life’s opportunities have appeared yet...”
“In that case, I should go out and gather as much food as possible to prepare for the future...”
“Besides food, we need diesel generators, gasoline, diesel fuel, medicine, clothing, and other daily necessities. Although the system provides quite a bit... relying solely on the system is too unpredictable.”
“Well, since I have storage space, might as well stock up!”
Just then, a delicious aroma wafted from the kitchen.
“Brother Feng, the wontons are ready. Come eat quickly.”
Lin Xiaoxiao brought over two steaming bowls of wontons.
The hot wontons gave off a fragrant aroma.
Ye Feng sat down at the table, scooped up a wonton, and put it in his mouth.
A burst of savory flavor flooded his palate.
“Not bad, delicious!”
Ye Feng ate heartily.
Beside him, Lin Xiaoxiao also swallowed her wontons eagerly.
“To be able to eat this bite, it’s really not easy!”
Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Ye Feng with eyes full of dependence.
Who would have thought that humanity’s proud civilization could collapse so swiftly?
This seemingly ordinary wonton meal
Was a delicacy that ninety-nine percent of humanity could no longer enjoy.
“Slurp! Slurp!”
The two finished both big bowls of wontons, not leaving a drop of soup.
After the meal,
Lin Xiaoxiao busied herself in the kitchen, back turned to Ye Feng, occasionally bending over.
Thump, thump, thump.
The apron couldn’t hide her full, rounded figure.
Ye Feng stepped forward with a meaningful smile.
“Xiaoxiao, come here.”
Lin Xiaoxiao blushed deeply.
“I...”
Ye Feng pulled out an unopened pair of Libashi family stockings.
“Here, put these on!”
“I’m scared!”
“Don’t worry, I’m very gentle!”
...
Inside the room.
Lin Xiaoxiao’s body went weak, face flushed, eyes dreamy.
“I’m so tired! Feels like my whole body is falling apart!”
“Mm... I feel like I’m dying!”
“My soul... seems like it’s coming out!”
“Ye Feng, are you even human? You’re just too brutal!”
Ye Feng wore a triumphant grin he couldn’t suppress.
Lin Xiaoxiao kept punching his chest with her tiny fists.
“Ye Feng, you promised to be gentle! I’d rather believe in ghosts than trust a man’s lying mouth!”
Ye Feng lit a cigarette and began to blow out smoke.
[Notification: Event triggered!]
[Notification: Reward—10 more fish baits!]
Ye Feng was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.
Another 10 portions of fish bait?
