The Amnesiac Black Panther and His Poor Little Beauty (126)

"You scared me to death! You came, so why did you knock on the door?"

Black and White followed Lance and Black Panther into the room and were immediately scolded with a blank look on their faces.

"what?"

He scratched his head and looked at Tang Wei. Had he knocked on the wrong door?

In comparison, Lance knows Song Ning better.

As soon as he entered, he saw that Song Ning was clearly relieved to see them.

"What happened? Is something wrong?"

Song Ning leaned closer as if she had a mind of her own, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Nothing happened. Didn't we hear someone knocking on the door this morning? Not only us, Tang Wei heard it too. He suspects there's something nearby."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the black panther next to Lance, and after looking at it several times, he still felt it was amazing.

How exactly did Lance manage to control two bodies simultaneously?

"Is someone nearby?"

Lance thought for a moment, then looked down at the black panther at his feet.

Black Panther turned his head slightly and sniffed the air towards the direction behind the door.

There was indeed a faint smell in the air nearby, so faint that it seemed like it would be blown away by a gust of wind.

But upon closer inspection, the smell did indeed linger nearby, and a faint stench could also be detected.

"It could be a zombie; it has a faint smell of decay."

This smell is a bit strange. It's rare to find such a faint and fresh smell of corpses. The smell of most zombies should get worse over time, so why is this smell so faint?

Tang Wei and Hei Bai both looked over, and Tang Wei was a little unsure.

"The smell of a corpse? Could it be a zombie? But that doesn't feel like a zombie. Zombies wouldn't knock on the door, would they?"

He shuddered as he spoke. To be honest, if zombies learned to knock on doors, he would really want to call for help. Couldn't humans evolve together with zombies?

"It's not necessarily, it's just that there's this smell."

Lance put his coat back on. "I'm going outside to take a look. Don't come out."

He turned around, his long trench coat sleekly tracing an arc, and with an aura of fearlessness, he went out with Black Panther.

It was precisely this kind of Lance that made Song Ning feel especially safe, and he stared blankly at the doorway, lost in thought.

Tang Wei leaned over and nudged him lightly with his elbow, teasingly.

"You're totally mesmerized, Song-ge! Don't you think Lance is incredibly charming like this?"

Song Ning snapped out of her daze and coughed lightly in an attempt to cover up her absent-mindedness.

"No, no, I'm used to it."

"Have you gotten used to it yet? Is this for real?"

Tang Wei was about to say a few more words when he was suddenly grabbed by the back of his collar, and a helpless voice came from behind him.

"Alright, we're guests at someone's home, stop talking nonsense."

At the very least, one should pay attention to the occasion and atmosphere, right?

"Oh."

Song Ning saw Tang Wei obediently respond and then really quiet down.

This is indeed a case of one thing subduing another, which is quite interesting.

Outside.

Lance hadn't gone far when he and Black Panther split up.

The smell wasn't far away, but he still chose to take the long way.

The reason is simple: he only noticed the smell when he sniffed it carefully just now, and the smell was somewhat familiar to him.

"That leopard isn't dead yet? Impossible."

He muttered to himself as he sped forward.

He was absolutely certain that the leopard was dead. He left only after confirming that the leopard was lifeless, so there was no possibility that the leopard might have survived.

The only possibility is that the leopard was infected and turned into a zombie.

But the possibility is even lower, he thought.

"The base has cleared out all the zombies in the vicinity, and I've patrolled so many times that there's no way any could have escaped."

"Unless someone deliberately tampered with it."

The footprints on the snow moved even faster, eventually leaving only a white afterimage.

"Damn it, I feel like I can't keep waiting here for them to come to me. I need to take the initiative."

Wang Chen finally couldn't take it anymore. He grumbled and walked out from behind what looked like a snowman but was actually a crooked, large snowball.

As it walked, it stomped its feet vigorously, taking turns stomping its four hooves on the ground.

[Host, please wait patiently. This system has absolutely no errors.]

"Wait your mother! I've been waiting for so long, I'm going to starve to death if I keep waiting! I can't wait any longer, so hurry up and find me a new place."

Wang Chen cursed and ran straight in one direction.

He adapted to having four legs quite quickly, and even found it quite enjoyable. Running on four legs was much faster than on two legs, and it was really exhilarating.

【…】

[Please proceed to the left front. There is an energy fluctuation about 2 kilometers away, but it is relatively small. This system does not recommend that you proceed...]

"Alright, stop babbling. Two kilometers, huh? I'm not going anywhere else. If you still can't find it this time, you'd better think about how to properly explain your useless, rubbish detection to me."

Despite his foul mouth, Wang Chen's actions betrayed his true intentions, moving in the direction the system indicated.

He wanted to rely on himself, but without the system's guidance, he really couldn't find any strange energy fluctuations. It's all because this system is too useless.

"Hmm? The smell is gone."

Lance missed his target. After the man and the leopard flanked him from two directions, to his surprise, the original scent suddenly disappeared and was not in the place where the scent was strongest.

He listened carefully and realized that the other person's scent was moving in one direction.

That speed wasn't slow, but it didn't quite resemble human speed either.

He thought about it and decided to go home first.

"Not human? Then what could it be?"

Tang Wei and the others hadn't left yet. Upon hearing his words, Tang Wei immediately tensed up, "Could it really be zombies? That would be terrifying!"

Not only do zombies ambush people, but they also know how to move their positions. This sounds like they're bullying the weak and fearing the strong, which makes it even scarier.

"I can't be sure. I can confirm that there is a smell of decay, but I can only say that it is possible but not certain."

As Lance spoke, he gently comforted Song Ning, stroking his back with his fingers and whispering.

"Let Black Panther stay home with you. Why don't you chat with them a little longer? I'll go check on them."

Song Ning grabbed his hand, "Don't go alone. If there's any danger, just notify the base and let them handle it."

“I know, I’ll stay far away. I’ll let them know if there’s any problem. I’ll try my best to come back on time to cook dinner for you.”

Upon hearing this, Song Ning breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you."
