Awooo, there are little zombies today too.

Yu Qingyin quickly let go, but the tree roots seemed to be stuck to her hands and kept sucking them.

She waved her hand, and a long knife cut off the tree root lazily. The root in her hand lost its support and slipped out of her hand.

After being washed by the rain, her hands were bloody and her bones were exposed.

Before she could catch her breath, dozens of gray tree roots, as if they had eyes, attacked her at an extremely fast speed.

Yu Qingyin turned her wrist, and the long knife left an afterimage. Rain splashed and hit the ground, forming shallow pits of varying sizes.

All the tree roots that came close were cut in half.

Yu Qingyin swung the long knife, dodged the tree roots that broke out of the ground, and quickly approached the old tree roots.

As Yu Qingyin approached, the attacks of the old tree roots became more and more intense. When they were only one step away, the roots fell from above and countless roots attacked from behind.

They surrounded her in an instant. If the tree roots wrapped her up, she would become a pile of bones in a moment!

A flash of green appeared in her hand, and the vines instantly wrapped around her, isolating her from the erosion of the tree roots. However, the tree roots clung tightly to the vines.

She could clearly feel that the wood energy in her body was rapidly dissipating. If she persisted, the energy would definitely be absorbed completely.

She must find another breakthrough!

The next second, Yingying's leaves cut through the tree roots like darts!

Yingying shouted in a low voice, "Boss, let me help you!" In an instant, all the green leaves on her body flew off.

'bang bang bang'

The tree roots lying on the vines fell down in an instant like fish baits with broken lines, hitting the ground and leaving deep pits.

Suddenly, a flash of lightning charred the tree roots behind her. The lightning seemed to have no intention of stopping, and it followed the source of the tree roots and drilled into the ground.

"what--"

A mournful scream sounded! The tree roots that absorbed her wood power retreated like a tide.

She pulled the vines back and saw that the old tree roots were charred black with faint flashes of lightning on them. It seemed that it had been severely injured and was dying.

Yu Qingyin took the opportunity to step forward and stroked it gently with her fingers.

"The contract was successful!"

Yu Qingyin let out a long sigh and couldn't wait to open the task panel.

"Main mission: Please go to City C and subdue all mutant animals, plants and zombies. Time limit: 6 days (mission progress: 88%) (countdown: 2 days)"

"Boss, it hurts~" An old sound of a clamp rang in her mind.

She shuddered suddenly. Tsk, who did these mutated plants learn from? They are so pinched.

Yu Qingyin rolled her eyes, "It hurts so much!"

After saying that, he walked towards the palm tree behind him without looking back. Behind the tree, Ji Yanli was leaning against the tree, his messy hair sticking to his forehead, his hands on his chest, and his pair of peach blossom eyes were filled with smiles, as if hiding thousands of stars.

The black casual clothes made him look lazy and mysterious. After being washed by the rain, they clung to his body, and his eight-pack abs were faintly visible, adding a bit of sexiness to him.

The whole person looks like a charming little goblin hiding in the forest.

Ji Yanli's face didn't show any embarrassment of being discovered following someone. Instead, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips, which was restless and eye-catching.

"Are you ready to go back?" He asked in a natural tone, as if asking her if she had eaten.

Yu Qingyin stared at him and sighed silently, "You know..."

Ji Yanli stood up straight and interrupted her next words, his peach blossom eyes full of seriousness.

"I know. So are you ready to go back? It's raining heavily. It's easy to catch a cold."

Yu Qingyin was a little puzzled, so she asked, "Then why did you..."

Ji Yanli looked at her seriously, "Why didn't I do anything to you and helped you? Because you are you."

Because I like it.

He didn't say this out loud.

Ji Yanli's body suddenly relaxed, exuding a sense of laziness, and he added with a smile.

"Besides, you helped the team a lot along the way. Without you, we wouldn't be so successful. I'm not the kind of person who would repay kindness with enmity."

Yu Qingyin stared at him closely, not missing the slightest change in his expression, as if she wanted to see through him.

"Aren't you afraid that I will attack the members of the team? After all, I am a zombie."

Ji Yanli met her gaze with a smile, "You won't." He spoke with certainty and confidence.

Yu Qingyin was a little puzzled. What did she do to make him trust her so much?

She thought so and asked this question.

"How can you be sure that I won't suddenly..."

Ji Yanli's smile was lazy but also revealed a sense of confidence.

"Others would, but you wouldn't. You have your own consciousness and judgment, and you wouldn't allow yourself to do such a thing."

Yu Qingyin curled her lips slightly, saying that he knew her better than she knew herself.

Ji Yanli stood up straight, yawned, and looked at her innocently with his peach blossom eyes.

"So, can we go back now? If you don't go back, I won't be able to explain it to them."

For some reason, Yu Qingyin could sense a pitiful look in his cold eyes.

Yu Qingyin felt a little uncomfortable and gently rubbed the tip of her nose with her index finger. "You can go back. I want to leave the base after the mission is over!"

Ji Yanli paused and his expression suddenly became serious.

"I don't recommend you do this. First of all, your parents won't agree.

Secondly, your identity as a zombie can be easily discovered by others. Once discovered, the higher-ups will come out to suppress you vigorously because you are too special."

Yu Qingyin remained silent. This was also her deepest concern.

What Ji Yanli said made sense. If she didn't use this identity to cover up and blend in with the zombies all day, she would be too conspicuous among the zombies. It would be too disgusting for her to turn into other zombies all day long. She couldn't do it. If she didn't do that, it would be easy for her to be discovered. It was only a matter of time.

She had no idea whether she could stand up to the fully armed national forces.

Ji Yanli stood where he was, not urging her, waiting for her to figure it out herself. If she still wanted to leave the base, he would not stop her. At most, he would find another reason for her.

The two stood in the rain, confronting each other silently, and neither of them spoke.

Yu Qingyin thought for a long time and was finally convinced by him. She opened her red lips slightly and said, "You are right. Let's go back now. The rain is too heavy."

At least until her strength reaches that level, it is the right choice for her to stay in the base.

Ji Yanli breathed a sigh of relief, followed her, and quietly opened the umbrella.

"You have to leave quickly, otherwise you won't be able to sleep for long when the day breaks. Can you handle that Velen?"

Yu Qingyin looked at him strangely and said jokingly, "I can handle it, but that Ava is pestering you every day, calling you Captain Ji and Captain Ji. Are you sure you won't be tempted?"

Ji Yanli curled his thin lips slightly, and seemed to be in a good mood.

"Why does your tone sound sour?"
