How to Raise a Baby in an Apocalypse - Chapter 218

Just as the bronze-skinned and iron-boned zombie is blocked by the lilies, preventing it from advancing further and barely managing to climb the escalator to the second floor, Yun Tao has already broken down the door of the children’s playground. The sound attracts the zombie, which begins chasing Yun Tao into the playground.

Meanwhile, Anran collects crystal cores in the back. She realizes that since the zombies can use the escalator, it is a major hidden danger. So, Anran not only controls the lilies to block the entrances of the underground supermarket and Gate No. 1, but she also spreads a layer of lilies on the escalator to prevent the zombies from moving up to the second floor.

Turning back to check on Yun Tao, she sees that the bronze-skinned and iron-boned zombie has been led into the rope tree hole by him. As expected, it is easy for the zombie to climb into the hole, but getting out proves to be more difficult.

Zombies aren’t like humans, and they certainly lack the intelligence of children. Children who enter the tree hole would fall into the ball pit, but they can easily climb out by grabbing the rope beside the pool and stepping on the tree walls. Zombies, however, are not so clever.

The bronze-skinned zombie struggles, unable to move properly in the ball pit. When it tries to take a step, it falls. After falling, it is still unable to climb out.

The zombie roars angrily from within the ball pit, and its noise attracts all the zombies outside the flower wall on the first floor. They excitedly begin making their way to the second floor.

Anran tightens her control over the lilies and continues collecting zombie crystal cores from the flower field. It feels so cool.

Yun Tao stands outside the children’s playground, still thinking about how to kill the bronze-skinned, iron-boned zombie. If it remains alive, it will keep summoning more zombies.

On the first floor, without this powerful zombie destroying the flowers and plants, Anran seems to walk through her own kingdom. The front third of the oval hall is filled with white lilies, and two thick flower walls are in place.

The sky gradually brightens, and the mall falls silent. The number of zombies outside the mall hasn’t increased, but it also hasn’t decreased. Zhan Lian struggles in the tide of zombies, trapped in a dilemma. He wants to enter the mall, but there are too many zombies behind him. As he moves one meter inside the mall, the zombies crowd the street.

Lei Jiang’s team also can’t even get close to the zombie tide and has been stationed several streets away.

Anran, sitting on the escalator, squints and stretches lazily. She notices the sunlight around her feels unusually hot. She stretches and then glances up at the transparent mall roof, frowning. Why is the sun so strong so early in the morning? It’s too hot. There’s never such intense sunshine in Xiangcheng during winter. The temperature feels more like a shift from spring to summer.

Feeling a bit thirsty, Anran stands up and walks to the maternity store. She grabs a bottle of water to drink, changes the sweaty baby into a lighter set of clothes, feeds Doll, then places it in the stroller and takes a walk on the second floor.

Little Mint is very independent and doesn’t need Anran’s guidance.

After eating, Little Mint takes Heng Heng to the flower field to collect crystal cores. Under Anran’s instructions, the lilies that devour zombies won’t attack Little Mint or Heng Heng. The lilies seem to be able to communicate with Anran’s thoughts; they will only eat the zombies she directs them to and will avoid anyone she doesn’t want them to target.
