All he could do was share so of his supplies with her.
For anyone else, he might not have been so generous.
But this little girl...
He didn’t dwell on it further, resolutely standing up and heading toward the stairs.
He had stumbled upon this place by chance, only to overhear two n talking—revealing the horrifying, depraved acts happening here.
Though he usually avoided ddling in others’ affairs, scum like this deserved to be dealt with, one by one.
So, he killed every last one who had partaken in the unspeakable acts.
Only one was left—to guide the way.
Following the man, he arrived at the cellar.
Of course, before stepping inside, he disposed of the guide too.
Now, the outside was eerily empty.
Bodies littered the ground as far as the eye could see.
As he walked, he heard the faint rustling of soone rising behind him.
Then ca the cautious footsteps.
He ignored them, continuing forward.
The footsteps followed persistently.
He knew—it was Yun Xiaoxiao.
He stopped.
She stopped.
He walked.
She walked.
Like a little shadow.
Finally, he turned around.
Looking down at the small, grimy girl, Lu Chen frowned slightly.
"Why are you following ?"
Yun Xiaoxiao timidly raised her head. "Big Brother, can I stay with you?"
Her cautious expression tugged at his heart.
Then she quickly added, "I promise I won’t cry or bother you!"
Lu Chen fell silent for a long mont.
Without a word, he turned and walked toward the exit.
Yun Xiaoxiao’s head drooped in disappointnt.
So... it was still a no?
"Keep up."
A low, cool voice suddenly cut through the silence.
To her, it was like heavenly music, warming her shattered heart.
A rare smile broke across her face as she hurried after him on tiny legs.
"Coming!"
Under the glow of the setting sun, two figures—one tall, one small—stepped out of the dog factory gates.
The car sped toward Rong City.
Suddenly, Lu Chen veered off the road, pulling up to a two-story house.
"Wait in the car."
After leaving those words, he stepped out.
A while later, he opened the back door.
"Get out."
Yun Xiaoxiao obediently followed.
The next morning, at the first hint of dawn, Yun Xiaoxiao was shaken awake.
Rubbing her sleepy eyes, she mumbled, "What is it, Big Brother?"
Last night had been the most peaceful sleep she’d had in ages.
"Change clothes. Get up. Train."
Lu Chen was curt, his face as cold and expressionless as ever.
He tossed her a set of clean clothes and a pair of small shoes—clearly ant for her.
Yun Xiaoxiao stared at them in disbelief.
"These... are for ?"
Lu Chen gave a slight nod. "Mm. Co out when you’re done."
With that, he walked out.
Watching his retreating figure, Yun Xiaoxiao sniffled.
This big brother might seem cold, but he was the only one who had ever treated her so kindly.
She didn’t know where the clothes and shoes ca from, nor what he ant by "training."
But if Lu Chen said so, she’d do it!
Quickly changing, she dashed outside.
What awaited her wasn’t just an ordinary door—it was the gateway to hellish training.
The mont Lu Chen agreed to let her stay, he had already mapped out a brutal regin for her.
She could follow him, but only if she could defend herself.
Even at five years old.
That morning, Yun Xiaoxiao ran laps, did sit-ups, frog jumps—all grueling tasks for her tiny fra.
By the end, she was drenched in sweat.
Lu Chen showed no rcy, and she gritted her teeth without a single complaint.
In the afternoon, he drilled her in strength training, evasion, and reflexes, then taught her a spear technique tailored for her size.
Small and weak, she had to rely on skill, turning her height into an advantage.
If zombies ca, she’d need to strike fast and hard.
Days turned into weeks as Yun Xiaoxiao and Lu Chen trained relentlessly in the village.
Sotis, while she practiced alone, Lu Chen would scavenge for supplies.
He’d even lure zombies nearby for her to fight.
Under his brutal guidance, Yun Xiaoxiao improved rapidly.
Of course, it helped that she was unnaturally gifted—fearless, tireless, and relentless.
They were the perfect master and disciple.
One with unmatched skill, the other a quick learner.
Even Lu Chen was surprised by her progress.
He’d taken in a holess girl, only to discover a prodigy.
Her talent surpassed even his.
In just a month, Yun Xiaoxiao mastered spear and dagger techniques.
She could coldly spear a zombie through the skull without flinching.
Then, she noticed sothing strange—her hands could summon vine-like tendrils.
Fascinated, she experinted whenever she could.
"Pack up. We’re leaving. You’ve learned the basics—now it’s ti for real combat."
That day, Lu Chen gave the order.
Gathering their few belongings, they set off for Rong City.
Lu Chen seed to be searching for soone.
They scoured every corner of Rong City but found nothing.
They moved from place to place, yet their goal remained out of reach.
Throughout, Lu Chen never coddled Yun Xiaoxiao for being five.
Instead, he made her fight zombies alongside him.
Of course, he stayed close, stepping in when she struggled.
So, tiny Yun Xiaoxiao found herself weaving through hordes of undead, stabbing with all her might.
As winter deepened, snow blanketed the world.
Lu Chen paused his search, settling with Yun Xiaoxiao in a high-rise’s top floor.
They scavenged wood and other burnable scraps to keep warm.
With ti to spare, Lu Chen intensified her training.
This ti, he drilled her in every skill an assassin needed.
He even found books, paper, and pens, teaching her to read.
Yun Xiaoxiao: "......"
"You have ten minutes to morize these thirty characters. I’ll test you later."
One minute later.
"Done." Yun Xiaoxiao looked up confidently.
Lu Chen raised a brow. "One mistake, a hundred frog jumps."
"No problem." She lifted her chin.
Lu Chen raised an eyebrow and began interrogating her word by word.
He didn’t think Yun Xiaoxiao would know them all.
After all, he had only taught her once.
And she had only spent a minute morizing them.
Yet, to his surprise, she answered every single one correctly.
Lu Chen was stunned.
Had he just encountered a genius among geniuses?
Skilled in both academics and combat?
