Before her daughter could object, Mother Shen quickly handed her grandson to Jiao Lizhi while saying, "Of course."
With the baby placed in her arms, Jiao Lizhi's body tensed, and she didn't dare to move. The moment the baby was hugged by her, he stopped crying suddenly.
They looked at each other for a moment before the baby suddenly snuggled close to her chest and let out a series of blabbering.
Seeing this, Mother Shen's smile became wider as she said, "It seems that he likes you very much."
Jiao Lizhi didn't know if that was the truth or if she only said that to make her happy. She looked at the little human and smiled.
Raising her gaze, she said, "Sister, you should make some milk for your son. I can give you hot water."
Hearing this, Shen Xueli nodded and said, "Sister, sorry to bother you."
"It's not a bother at all," Jiao Lizhi replied casually.
While holding the baby with one arm, she filled the thermos flask with hot water. When the milk was ready, Shen Xueli taught her how to feed the baby.
Unbeknownst to them, a sliver of energy seeped out from Jiao Lizhi's pores and entered the baby's body as she held him, which made him no longer feel the pain in his small body.
After feeding the baby some milk, Jiao Lizhi filled up Shen Xueli and her parents' water bottles before she went to the kitchen to help out.
Meanwhile, Jin Xuyan, Zhang Yuan, and Qin Luzi were marking the map and making plans for tomorrow on the second floor. As for the rest of the members, they were guarding the entrance and managing the survivors.
At the same time, a group of soldiers were fighting against zombies in the area a kilometer away from them.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Crash! Crack!
The sound of gunshots and vehicles crashing against the zombies echoed in the area.
"Captain, there are more zombies coming toward us!"
Hearing the report, a man in his twenties looked at the map and said, "Follow the road. After we cross the bridge, we will be able to shake off the zombies."
The soldier driving the military vehicle nodded and stepped on the pedal, increasing the speed.
As they drove, they had to avoid the abandoned cars and holes in the ground. It took them almost thirty minutes to finally shake off the zombies. After surviving the ordeal, the soldiers finally let out a sigh of relief.
"Check your ammo and take a rest," the captain said while checking the surroundings.
The sky darkened, and the red moon rose in the sky. The zombies would become stronger, and it wasn't a wise decision to continue travelling.
He looked around and saw light coming from one of the buildings. Pointing at the family restaurant, he said, "Go to that building."
