Chapter 29: A good morning
The fire slowly turned from a raging blaze into glowing embers, casting a warm glow on them. It was not much, but it was still able to warm them in the biting cold of the apocalypse world.
It was not winter season, but still, the nights of the apocalypse had always been chillingly cold. And in winter, it had the ability to freeze anyone to death within an hour.
Liora sat with her back against the counter, arms crossed as she watched the others settle in. Zhou Yinuo curled up beside a stack of blankets they had found earlier in the warehouse, her soft breathing a sign that exhaustion had finally won over.
Liang Zihan stretched out on the cold floor, using his arm as a pillow, while Chen Wei leaned against the boarded-up window. Even though his eyes were closed, Liora could feel he was still very vigilant towards the surroundings.
Everyone’s face was marked with exhaustion, but they had a pleasant expression. After all, a good meal in the apocalypse was enough to lighten everyone’s mood.
Liora had never thought that she would one day be this content with just a simple meal, a meal she wouldn’t even look at in the past.
But alas, time stops for no one.
Outside, the night stretched on. The veil covering the sky looked even more ominous than during the day. The little bit of groaning and screaming of zombies could be heard from afar.
But they were no problem because Liora had made sure that none of them could reach their resting place. Their temporary home was safe for the night.
