The boy's words made Luo Yunshi pause.
She hadn't expected a boy of only 12 or 13 years old to say such things. He was just a child, how could he possibly do any work? He was merely a child, and she certainly didn't want to hire child labor.
Sensing Luo Yunshi's concern, the boy continued,
"I can do a lot of work. I can also learn about abilities. I have the ability to protect myself. I can protect myself, and I will definitely be able to help Sister Luo earn a lot of points!!!"
Luo Yunshi looked into the boy's eyes, filled with admiration.
"Little brother, I wasn't mistaken about you! You have great potential! From now on, you'll be my brother, and I'll protect you."
Luo Yunshi patted the boy's head, winked at him, and flashed a big smile.
"Thank you, Sister Luo. Sister Luo, I'll follow you from now on."
The boy wiped his tears, grinned, his smile incredibly sunny.
From now on, I must work harder and not let Sister Luo be tired. I'll take on all the work myself.
"Brother! What's your name?" Luo Yunshi asked with a smile.
"Sister Luo, my name is Shen Yilan, and I'm 13 years old."
"Haha, good, then I'll call you Yilan from now on, how about that?"
"Okay!"
Seeing this scene, most people in the fast-food restaurant were happy for Yilan, while a few wore expressions of envy.
"Alright, you eat first! Then just sit by the counter, you don't have to do any work! The fast-food restaurant closes at five in the afternoon, and we'll go back together."
"Okay! Thank you, Sister Luo!
And thank you, Brother Liu, for saving me!" The boy bowed deeply to Liu Lingqiu again.
"It's nothing, it was just a small effort on my part. You're in a good place here." Liu Lingqiu smiled and ruffled the boy's hair.
The fast-food restaurant was bustling.
Suddenly, a scream came from outside the fast-food restaurant.
"Ah! Run! The zombie horde has appeared early!"
Luo Yunshi heard the noisy sounds from outside the shop and hurried out.
The customers eating in the shop also heard the screams and quickly put down their chopsticks to look outside.
"Damn it! It's a zombie horde!"
Hearing that it was a zombie horde, the customers in the fast-food restaurant felt a chill.
"What the hell! So many zombies!" Luo Yunshi looked into the distance.
The zombies were all moving slowly, heads tilted, arms outstretched, clawing wildly, approaching from afar with their gaping mouths.
Didn't they say the zombie horde was four months away? Has it come early? Luo Yunshi thought to herself. But she also knew that now was not the time to ponder.
The most important thing was to calm the customers.
"Damn it! Zombie horde! Everyone run!"
"Ah! Run!"
Customers without abilities were immediately terrified and lost.
Liu Lingqiu's team and other ability users looked tense, ready to fight at any moment.
"Everyone, don't panic! Sit down, eat, drink, leave it all to me."
Luo Yunshi's voice was steady, without a trace of panic, and instead exuded a calm demeanor that reassured the customers.
Some people thought that Boss Luo, being a woman who dared to open a shop in the city alone, must be very capable. So they quietly sat down, not even touching their boxed meals, waiting to see what Luo Yunshi would do.
Others, however, were anxious.
"Oh no! What are we going to do! Boss Luo, why did you open the fast-food restaurant in the city center?"
"Yeah! Alas! I shouldn't have come to the fast-food restaurant. It would have been better to spend more points in the base to eat a boxed meal!"
Luo Yunshi walked up to the customers and said, "Everyone! Please rest assured, our shop has defensive and offensive systems, and the zombies cannot attack us."
As Luo Yunshi spoke, she took down the speaker from the counter.
Music was still playing from the speaker, the song was "Little Apple." Luo Yunshi turned the volume to maximum.
"Oh dear! Boss Luo, it's this time, and you're still in the mood for music!"
"Boss Luo, do you really have a plan? If we don't leave now, it will be too late!"
"I trust Boss Luo, everyone, don't panic. Boss Luo, being able to open a fast-food restaurant in the city center alone and having had no problems so far is enough to show Boss Luo's strength. Please wait patiently." Liu Lingqiu said from within the crowd.
"It's alright, trust me, everyone, don't worry. If you're bored or curious, you can also come out and watch the excitement." Luo Yunshi said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Liu Lingqiu also relaxed.
Some of the bolder customers with abilities followed Luo Yunshi and walked out of the fast-food restaurant.
Luo Yunshi carried the speaker towards the edge of the protective shield. The music coming from the speaker gradually made the zombies stop in their tracks.
The further Luo Yunshi walked, the more zombies stopped.
What the heck!
What's going on?
What kind of operation is this?
The zombies stopped? This can't be real! Liu Lingqiu was stunned. How did Boss Luo do it?
The customers in the fast-food restaurant were also astonished to see this.
They all walked out of the fast-food restaurant and gathered around Luo Yunshi.
"Boss Luo, how did you do it?"
"I want to know too!"
"Could it be that Boss Luo's strength can actually control these zombies?"
"......"
Liu Lingqiu led his team, walking beside Luo Yunshi until Luo Yunshi stopped and placed the speaker on the ground at the very edge of the protective shield.
In the distance, a group of people were desperately running towards the fast-food restaurant.
"Everyone, run faster, you'll be safe within 100 meters of the fast-food restaurant." Luo Yunshi shouted to the people in the distance.
"I'll take my team to help them!" Liu Lingqiu said, about to lead his team to fight the zombies.
"Hey! No need, it will be over soon! Don't worry!" Luo Yunshi quickly stopped Liu Lingqiu.
Then, without waiting for the people outside to run into the protective shield's range, Luo Yunshi activated the shield's offensive attribute with her mind.
Soon, everyone saw that dense lightning appeared on the fast-food restaurant's protective shield. The lightning was purple, indicating a considerable threat.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The street was instantly filled with lightning bolts of all sizes. The zombies within 100 meters, controlled by the speaker, immediately stopped in place, unmoving.
Then they were directly struck by lightning and turned into ash. Within a hundred meters, there were instantly countless zombie crystal cores, which then gradually vanished into thin air. The people and buildings outside the protective shield, however, were completely unharmed.
"My heavens! This is so exciting!" Luo Yunshi thought to herself! Excited, she felt that the speaker and the protective shield were a perfect combination! One controls, the other attacks, they were invincible!
"Xiao Qi! Xiao Qi! Were the zombie crystal cores within the protective shield's attack range collected?" Luo Yunshi asked the system, Xiao Qi, in her mind.
"Yes, Host. Points will be tallied as soon as midnight strikes tonight."
"Mmm-hmm, I know! Haha, I'm rich today." The little person in Luo Yunshi's heart was screaming.
The people outside the protective shield quickly ran inside, completely unaffected by the current on the shield.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The zombies beyond 100 meters continued to advance, and were again rendered immobile by the speaker's sound waves. They were then struck by the lightning on the protective shield and turned into ash.
One wave after another.
