Cannon Fodder In Apocalypse: I Rule With Sanctuary Evolution System

He shook his head. Ni Mengxue smiled, thinking he had finally started trusting her. Then he spoke.

"I might attract zombies. I can’t deal with them alone. Take me with you."

The corner of Ni Mengxue’s mouth twitched. ’Can’t you at least pretend you want to stay with me?’

She immediately realized she had spoken aloud when she felt his gaze on herself again. Her lips pressed tightly together this time as she thought.

’Someone, please let the ground swallow me.’

She silently led him toward the others.

When they reached the location, Ni Mengxue’s expression changed. The RV was gone.

Her heart tightened with worry and slight fear. She immediately took out a special controller she had asked Ruo Chiwu to buy.

Before setting out, she had installed small signal transmitters on the RV and the other vehicles. If the convoy became separated by zombies or other dangers, the controller could locate them.

She activated it. The wires inside began rotating before pointing in a specific direction. Ni Mengxue was stunned.

"The RV is only three kilometers away."

But those three kilometers proved to be anything but easy. Mutated plants attacked them repeatedly.

The first was a poisonous plant that released a thick cloud of gas. Meng Xiaoni immediately noticed it and ordered.

"Wear a mask."

Ni Mengxue quickly took two masks from her space. She put one on and offered the other to him. Meng Xiaoni ignored it and took a mask from his own bag.

Ni Mengxue was speechless. ’I see... cold as ever. I miss the previous him.’

They bypassed the poisonous area and soon entered a region covered in thick fog. Ni Mengxue instinctively extended her hand toward him.

Meng Xiaoni handed her a rod. "Hold this tightly."

She stared at him. Then she silently took it.

They continued through the fog, but suddenly, vines shot toward them. Worried that those vines might hurt them, she created an ice barrier around them, isolating them from the vines.

But it blocked their path as well.

"Retract it." Meng Xiaoni ordered, his voice hardly fluctuating.

Ni Mengxue frowned. "Why?"

"I have a way."

She hesitated before lowering the barrier.

Meng Xiaoni pulled out a strange device and threw it into the distance. The device immediately began producing an ear-piercing noise.

The vines turned toward it and rushed after the sound. Ni Mengxue stared at him in surprise.

’He figured out that these plants attack based on sound.’

Even more impressive was the fact that he had already prepared a device specifically for such a situation. They quickly crossed the fog and finally reached the other side.

Ni Mengxue collapsed against a tree, breathing heavily. "Strange... Why do I feel as though all my vitality has been drained?"

Meng Xiaoni calmly analyzed her condition. "You fought a plant that absorbed most of your energy. Continuing without rest naturally makes you feel exhausted."

Ni Mengxue smiled at him. "So, you’re worried about me?"

Meng Xiaoni nodded.

Her heart skipped a beat, and joy surged in her heart. ’My Xiaoni is worried about me even when he has lost his memory! This is true love!’

Then he continued calmly. "If you die, I won’t be able to cross this area, and you still have the rice I need."

Ni Mengxue’s smile froze. "So if I die, you won’t feel anything?"

He nodded again. Ni Mengxue closed her eyes.

’This man is truly impossible to deal with when he doesn’t love someone.’

She slowly stood up. "Let’s go."

Meng Xiaoni didn’t urge her forward. Rather, he took out a potion and handed it to her with a calm expression.

Ni Mengxue looked at it and, after smelling it, quickly realized that it was most likely a recovery potion.

She stared at him.

"A payback," Meng Xiaoni said calmly.

His way of repaying her was strangely cute from Ni Mengxue’s perspective. She smiled and accepted the potion.

"Thank you."

After drinking it, she immediately felt much better, and the two continued their journey. When they finally reached a clearing, Ni Mengxue spotted the RV alongside several cars.

She frowned. ’How did they end up here?’

Something felt wrong. The entire area was unnaturally silent. She approached one of the cars and looked inside, but to her surprise, all of them were empty.

Her heart tightened. She immediately rushed toward the RV and knocked on the door. "Let me in!"

There was no response. She knocked again, harder this time. "Let me in!"

Still nothing. An ominous feeling spread through her chest.

"There are people inside," Meng Xiaoni suddenly said. "But they’re tense."

Ni Mengxue turned toward him in surprise. "You can sense their emotions too? Just what kind of enhanced intelligence do you have?"

Meng Xiaoni’s eyes flickered. ’No one knows about my enhanced intelligence. How did she figure it out?’

He silently nodded. Ni Mengxue took a deep breath. "If they’re inside but refusing to open the door, they must have been tricked somehow."

Before she could think further, the RV’s window suddenly opened. Fu Sinan appeared behind it.

"Fu Sinan! Open the door!"

He looked at her calmly. "Experiment?"

Ni Mengxue tilted her head. "You want me to experiment on you now?"

Fu Sinan silently closed the window. Ni Mengxue was speechless. ’What is wrong with him?’

A moment later, the RV door opened. Fu Sinan stepped aside, his expression unusually heavy.

Ni Mengxue entered but was chilled by the scene in front of her. Lu Yucai was sitting there, staring blankly at the floor.

On the floor lay Aunt Rou. Her eyes were closed, and even from a distance, Ni Mengxue could tell that her body was unnaturally cold.

Her heart skipped a beat. The ominous feeling in her chest intensified when she saw Aunt Rou’s husband crying beside her.

Ni Mengxue immediately rushed over to Ruo Chiwu and checked her pulse. Her heart slowly started to sink when she realized... there was no pulse... no warmth...

Aunt Ruo was dead...

"You’re a doctor, right?" Fu Lin hurriedly rushed toward her. "You even make healing potions! Can you save her? She isn’t responding. Please, do something!"
