Chapter 716: Chapter 716: She Has a Pair of Zombie Parents (12)

Ruan Xian and Ning Lanxin sat on either side of Qiann Yan, watching her diligently doing her homework. Although their faces showed no expression, it was clear they were very pleased.

Ruan Xian held a textbook in his hands, flipping through it and finding some test papers and reference books, marking and annotating them with great seriousness.

Every now and then, he exchanged a few words with Ning Lanxin. It’s the apocalypse, but we can’t slack off on studies. Our daughter is still a primary school student; she can’t remain a primary school student forever, can she?

A diploma might not be important, but acquiring knowledge can’t be neglected.

System 666: [Host, if you don’t enjoy doing this, you don’t have to. I believe with the clever mind of the host, you can definitely come up with a win-win solution. Just now, Ruan Jiayi complained to me that even in the apocalypse, she can’t escape homework. It’s all her parents’ good intentions, which she has to grit her teeth to complete, even though she’s quite a poor student.]

[Host, you are performing so excellently...]

Qiann Yan: "I told them that awakening superpowers also increases intelligence."

"Primary school student? I’ve never been a primary school student before." Qiann Yan quickly completed these simple problems. "I think it’s quite okay."

System 666 could hardly believe it; the host actually has a liking for this, enjoying being a primary school student.

"It’s the first time someone has urged me like this to do my homework." Qiann Yan said, "I’m experiencing it."

System 666 didn’t say anything more; so, that’s how it was.

The host had a photographic memory; these tasks simply couldn’t challenge her. From a young age, no one had ever urged her to do her homework, or praised her as Ruan Xian and Ning Lanxin did, taking pride in her accomplishments.

Was she taking the opportunity to experience what normal parents are like?

System 666 really wanted to talk to someone, so it went back to chat with Ruan Jiayi about her feelings: [The host enjoys doing homework.]

[That’s because the host has a heartless mother. Here’s the story...]

Not long after, Ruan Jiayi was crying her eyes out, "So heartless... how could there be such a heartless mother, tell Sister Qiann Yan that my parents will be her parents from now on. As long as she likes doing homework, it’s fine; my parents are quite happy too."

System 666 didn’t speak; it was a bit scared.

Qiann Yan was busy every day; the train car had been equipped with electric lights. Every time they passed by some places, they would get off to search for supplies. Food, clothing, daily necessities, and also books.

Ruan Xian often flipped through books in the carriage, while Ning Lanxin tried knitting a woolen sweater, looking quite proper though a bit slow.

Qiann Yan was busy fighting zombies, cultivating, reading, and doing homework.

The group led a very fulfilling life. Zhang Xiaodong and Wuo Xuanfei had long grown accustomed to Ruan Xian and Ning Lanxin, these two zombies.

Recently, Qiann Yan was also researching zombies and by the way, pondering over her Light Ability. Until now, she hadn’t acquired a single Light Element Crystal Core.

However, she was gradually enhancing her Light Ability through cultivation.

When fighting zombies, she usually used her Wind Ability, so Wuo Xuanfei and the others didn’t know she had other abilities, only that she was extremely powerful.

Since meeting Wuo Xuanfei and Zhang Xiaodong, Ruan Xian and Ning Lanxin hadn’t urged Qiann Yan to join a human squad.

Qiann Yan discovered something—the two zombies were becoming non-compliant.

Ruan Xian continued to remind Qiann Yan to do her homework, which she didn’t comply with. Instead, she fetched two large bags of crystal cores from the car and placed them in front of them.

"Have you stopped enhancing yourselves?"

Faced with Qiann Yan’s questioning, Ruan Xian and Ning Lanxin stared at each other with deadpan eyes. Qiann Yan usually didn’t account for the things in the car, but now she noticed.

The two glared at each other and began to communicate, which Qiann Yan could somewhat understand, making her smile a bit from exasperation.

They were actually blaming each other for not hiding the crystal cores better, which led to her discovery.

Finally, it ended with Ruan Xian raising his stiff hands in surrender and pulling out a notebook to write.

"Are you worried that one day you’ll lose your minds?"

The pen in Ruan Xian’s hand paused for a moment, then he stopped writing.

The daughter was getting smarter and stronger, able to protect herself. They really didn’t have a necessity to further strengthen their abilities, lest one day they lost control, and being too strong would cause trouble for her.

The daughter is human and ultimately needs to live in human society.

Not all humans are like Wuo Xuanfei and Zhang Xiaodong—able to accept them so easily.

Even they couldn’t guarantee they wouldn’t lose their minds one day, so how could they assure others?

It’s perfectly normal for humans to fear them.

Even if their hearts couldn’t bear it.
