Perhaps something happened to the parents, and it's been a long time since the little one had any food, so her appetite was substantial.
Lu Chuan finished feeding the milk powder from the bowl but found that the little one was still looking at him with big clear eyes, clearly not satisfied.
"No way, how can such a small body drink so much?"
Lu Chuan said subconsciously.
But he forgot that he was now a zombie and couldn't speak, only able to make a few indistinct low growls.
This startled Ji Ruxue.
"Oh no, this guy really plans to fatten me up before he starts!"
Ji Ruxue, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, became tense again upon hearing the zombie's low growl.
Just as she was prepared to be attacked, she discovered that the zombie turned and left.
Soon after, Ji Ruxue heard the sound of stirring again, and after a while, Lu Chuan brought over another bowl of milk.
Ji Ruxue was a bit dumbfounded, as this was the first time she had encountered such a bizarre situation.
Although there was still some apprehension and concern in her heart, her body instinctively began to suck.
In this way, Lu Chuan made three bowls of milk powder before finally satisfying her.
Looking at the milk stains at the corner of the little one's mouth, Lu Chuan could feel the unfulfilled desire in her eyes.
"This little one eats really well, doesn't she?"
Although Lu Chuan had never been married or raised children, he knew that such a young infant should not be able to consume so much.
"It seems if I plan to adopt this little one, the pressure on me would be quite significant in the future..."
Lu Chuan couldn't help but sigh internally.
He finally understood why in his previous life so many of his colleagues worked so hard, just to earn money for milk powder.
Raising children is not easy at all.
But fortunately, since it's already the apocalypse, he could go anywhere for free supplies, so he wasn't worried about having sufficient economic ability.
It seems that when searching other places for supplies in the future, he needs to bring more milk powder, as this little one might eat even more.
Fortunately, milk powder is mostly sealed, so it has a relatively long storage time.
After being fed, Ji Ruxue lay comfortably in the crib, looking thoroughly content.
After having been hungry for so long, drinking milk now was like nectar and ambrosia to Ji Ruxue.
Ji Ruxue curiously looked at Lu Chuan; she had never seen such a strange thing before.
A zombie, supposed to be bloodthirsty and devour flesh everywhere, actually resisted the urge to attack her.
That alone was odd enough.
Yet it even made milk powder and fed it to her with a spoon; this was simply too absurd!
In her past life, Ji Ruxue personally experienced the entire outbreak of the apocalypse, successfully surviving to the end after overcoming numerous hardships, eventually achieving the Emperor Realm.
As an Unparalleled Empress, what kinds of zombies hadn't she encountered?
It could even be said that she lost count of the number of zombies that perished at her hands.
Though these zombies later evolved continuously, gradually developing intelligence after evolution.
But that was not something that could happen now.
At least the zombie before her emitted a very low aura, clearly just a newly transformed, low-strength, first-level zombie.
Such zombies were everywhere, a result of being infected by the zombie virus.
Zombies of this level could definitely not awaken intelligence, just a group of bloodthirsty monsters following instincts.
Ji Ruxue looked at the zombie before her, truly puzzled by the situation.
Nevertheless, Ji Ruxue had faced various life-and-death crises in her past life, and after the initial panic, she gradually calmed down.
After all, for whatever reason, this zombie hadn't planned to eat her for the time being, so there was no need to worry excessively.
Even if the zombie really intended to attack her, she had at least filled her belly before her death, dying with a full stomach.
At least she wouldn't starve to death in the crib, not soiling the reputation of her life as an empress.
However, after filling her stomach, a wave of drowsiness hit Ji Ruxue.
After days of hunger and fear, her nerves had been extremely tense; now, having eaten, those nerves finally relaxed.
Ji Ruxue's eyes gradually closed, and she couldn't help but deeply fall asleep.
After all, she was still just an infant, and managing to hold on until now was already her limit.
"Eating and then sleeping, it's good to be young."
Looking at the adorable little one in his arms, Lu Chuan silently sighed in his heart.
Having personally fed this baby, saving her young life, Lu Chuan felt an inexplicable sense of achievement.
Looking at the tranquil and beautiful baby lying quietly in the crib, Lu Chuan felt extremely warm inside.
In this devastated and desolate city, it had been a while since he had seen a living person, let alone such a fragile life.
In the face of disaster, the arrival of a newborn might be a very troublesome matter, but at the same time, it also represents a continuation of new hope.
Hearing the baby's gradually steady breathing, Lu Chuan couldn't help but smile.
Although his smile looked rather terrifying now, it was the first time since coming to this strange world, amongst the zombie outbreak, that Lu Chuan felt the long-lost quiet and beauty.
From now on, in this zombie-overrun city, he wouldn't be alone anymore.
"Little one, you and I are both in unfortunate situations, arriving in this strange world only to face a zombie crisis."
"Don't worry, I will take good care of you."
Lu Chuan thought with emotion.
But Lu Chuan was very aware that in this extremely resource-scarce post-apocalyptic world, raising a baby wasn't going to be easy.
Especially with his identity as a zombie.
If the baby were born in a human Survivor Base, it would be another story, but being with him, there's no telling what dangers she might encounter in the future.
Nonetheless, Lu Chuan was now very determined, no matter what, he would do everything in his power.
For the past month, Lu Chuan had been living in a daze.
Every day was like neither human nor ghost, continuously facing death and desolation, having long since grown tired of this strange world with nothing to linger for.
This little one was not just a newly born life, but the appearance of this baby was also Lu Chuan's belief and motivation to continue living in this strange zombie world.
If Ji Ruxue hadn't fallen asleep at this moment, she would definitely notice the human-like emotions in the blood-red eyes of the zombie before her, with a very resolute gaze.
