38 Rationality Triumphed Over Emotions

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Su Su got up unhurriedly and picked out the crystal core from the zombie's head. She turned her head and saw a zombie approaching her. Another zombie was still far away, but it was moving toward her as well. Su Su's father was holding a stone as he was trying his best to fight the zombie that was far away from Su Su, but close to him.

Su Su decided to lure the monster for her parents to play with. She ran two steps away and stopped, waiting for the zombie to get closer. Upon seeing that, Su Su's mother, who was lying on the ground, got up and rushed toward the zombie in front of her. Su Su's father did the same. He held a big rock in his hand and rushed toward the zombie while yelling. He did not care about the zombie that was about to be killed by him. Instead, he smashed the head of the zombie that was closest to Su Su with all his might.

At that moment, Su Su finally understood. Su Su's father had earth power, and Su Su's mother had wood power. Su Su's father's earth power still had some offensive power. However, Su Su's mother's wood power did not have any offensive power except for growing flowers and plants. Therefore, she decided to help her mother. She took the initiative to rush to the zombie that was about to be killed by Su Su's father. Then, she pounced on the zombie at the same time. She won. She was able to throw the zombie to the ground.

Su Su sat on the zombie's body and squeezed the zombie's jaw with one hand to prevent it from biting her. She pressed both of the zombie's hands with her knees and shouted at her mother at the same time,

"Mom, take the knife and chop its head!"

The situation was already very critical, so Su Su's mother did not care about being afraid of the zombie. She took the knife that Su Su deliberately handed to her and hacked at the zombie's head crazily. She shouted incoherently while chopping,

"Su Su, don't be afraid! Su Su, don't be afraid! I'll protect you! I'll protect you! Don't be afraid, my dear daughter!"

Her mother had already become a superhuman, so her strength was naturally much stronger than when she was an ordinary person. In less than two moves, the zombie's head was chopped into pieces.

Meanwhile, the battle on her father's side had already ended. The three zombies were taken care of by the family of three in 10 minutes. Su Su's mother was sitting in the snow, panting. She was holding a watermelon knife in her hand, and her whole body was shaking. Su Su's father ran over, he hugged Su Su and Su Su's mother as they sat in the snow stained with blood. Her parents were crying loudly.

Su Su felt a little guilty because she deliberately run out and lured the three zombies to provoke her parents. In fact, Su Su's original intention was to let her parents accept the reality as soon as possible. They should not just hide in the house and placed all their hopes on others. It was already the end of the world, and they were still waiting for others to save them. Others could save them once or twice, but how could she save them for the rest of his life?

However, she lay on her father's shoulder and looked at his gray hair fluttering in the wind. Her heart began to tremble and ache. She felt that she was not a good daughter. Her parents had already reached the age where they should be enjoying their lives, yet she still had to force them to fight for their lives with her. She was not a good daughter.

"Daddy, mommy, let's go back and never come out again. Let's wait for Ye Yu to save us."

Su Su patted her parents on the back and helped them up from the snow with each hand. The three of them had just entered the house when Su Su's father stopped and shook his head. Although his body was trembling, the expression on his face was very determined.

"Su Su, Su Su, we can't go back. We can't go back now. Since we've already come out, we have to find some water before going back. Otherwise, we'll die of thirst in the villa before Little Ye comes."

"Daddy..."

Su Su wanted to tell more to her parents, but her mother wiped away the tears on her face. She raised her bloody fingers and gently brushed away the hair on Su Su's face. Her eyes were filled with tears, but the expression on her face was full of love.

"Dear, don't be afraid. You go home first and wait for us. When mommy and daddy found water, we'll come back. Su Su, it's very cold outside. Your body hasn't been well since you were young. Get in the house first. If you're outside, your parents will always be thinking of protecting you. How can we deal with these monsters then?"

The sadness in her parent's hearts. In such a big environment, although it was insignificant, it was so great at the same time. Since the world had changed, they could not just wait for death. They were old, and they were not afraid of dying. However, their Su Su was still young. She had to live. If she was allowed to live, they were willing to go out and take risks.

Su Su cried again. She cried very hard. She loved her parents, but not as much as they loved her. In front of them, she would always be their lovely daughter, regardless of whether it was before or after the apocalypse. For a moment, she really wanted to tell them everything about their powers. She wanted to let her parents hide under her wings and live in ignorance in the apocalypse.

However, she did not tell them anything. Her rationality overcame her emotions. No matter what, Su Su's parents were willing to walk out of the house and accept this new world. Hence, it was good for them. Although the process was painful, it was beneficial for them to walk through the chaotic and apocalyptic world in the future.

Su Su acted like she was crying. Her parents pushed her upstairs and locked her in the bedroom. The two of them looked at each other outside Su Su's bedroom. They braved the snow and walked out to look for water. Su Su stayed in the bedroom half-heartedly as she watched from the French window. After her parents had walked away for some distance, she jumped off the balcony and quietly went into the vegetable shed. She followed behind them and passed by the two police zombies who had been killed. She did not forget to pick out the crystal cores in their heads.

Su Su's parents were really working hard to become stronger. For their daughter, Su Su, they put in a lot of effort to be strong. Although there were not many zombies in the Apple Villa area, there were still a few of them. Her parents did not run when they saw them, but bravely fought them.

Su Su followed behind her parents. When necessary, she would throw out a small water mirror. She would use it like a little throwing knife to secretly help her parents kill zombies that they did not notice. After her parents left, she went up and took away the crystal cores in the heads of the zombies on the ground. They had finally overcome the fear in their hearts and gained some experience in killing these low-level zombies. After that, Su Su saw his parents finally remember to go to the villa to find water.

In the Apple Villa area, not every villa was occupied, and not all of them were empty either. Su Su's parents rang the doorbell one by one. They did not enter the house if someone responded. For those who did not respond, her father would picked up a stone and broke the lock on the front door. After that, they would go inside to search for water.

At that moment, Su Su also entered the courtyard and waited outside the front door. After her parents rummaged through the house, she hid again and continued to protect them secretly using her water power.

After about a day, Su Su's parents finally found a box of mineral water in an empty house. There were also some frozen meat, rice, and vegetables. Taking advantage of the fact that it was not dark yet, the two of them carried these things back to the villa with satisfaction. Su Su returned to the villa quicker than them and changed into a clean set of clothes in the bedroom. She opened the bedroom door and welcomed her parents who had returned with a full load of supplies.
