A cute, timid mushroom mistakenly takes the zombie king for her boyfriend and sticks close to him.

After the bystanders left, Mr. Zombie closed the door without hesitation and returned to the bedside.

The timid mushroom curled up in a ball under the blanket, her black hair cascading down her back, revealing her small, palm-sized face. Her face was flushed from the warmth of the heater, her eyes were dark and bright, and her thick eyelashes fluttered. She looked up at Pei Sinian with pleading eyes, secretly glancing at the insulated food container he had placed on the bedside table.

He yawned listlessly.

She has no appetite; the mushroom just wants to hibernate.

Meng Xiaoyou considered how she should righteously refuse Pei Sinian's invitation to dinner.

To everyone's surprise, Pei Si didn't mention food, but suddenly asked, "Where are the mushrooms?"

mushroom?

Meng Xiaoyou was a beat slow to react. She rummaged around in her space and pulled out a bowl of mushrooms, which she handed to him.

He said, "There's more."

"...Why do you want mushrooms?" Meng Xiaoyou muttered to herself, giving the remaining two bowls of mushrooms to Pei Sinian.

The mushrooms were carefully cared for, but they were still a bit wilted for the season. Pei Sinian glanced at the mushrooms, then looked at Meng Xiaoyou, whose head was nodding as if she wanted to sleep at any moment, and had a strange feeling—like master, like mushroom.

They all have the same character.

Even if you're afraid of the cold, can you be more afraid of this zombie?

After the sudden drop in temperature, Pei Sinian's bones were almost frozen to pieces. He couldn't understand why this human with a constant body temperature was more afraid of winter than he was.

Pei Sinian confiscated the mushrooms and then picked up the insulated box and opened it.

The rich aroma was released instantly. In the past, the mushrooms would have pounced on it, waiting to be fed. But now, she just sniffed, moved further into the bed, and tilted her head, saying, "I don't want to eat."

She even finds eating tiring and just wants to lie quietly on the board.

Pei Sinian's slender fingers gripped the spoon handle as he casually stirred the soup. "This chicken soup is missing one ingredient."

Meng Xiaoyou blinked blankly, not quite understanding, when she heard the man say, "I'll reheat it in a bit, add some mushrooms and it might be more appetizing."

Meng Xiaoyou: "!!!"

Her eyes widened in disbelief, her dark pupils trembling violently.

She glanced at the soup in Pei Sinian's hand, then at the mushrooms he had placed in the distance, and her eyes instantly welled up with tears.

How could he do this, deceiving her feelings, taking away the mushroom's offspring, and then threatening the mushroom!

Pei Sinian: "But I think the mushrooms can be grown again. This chicken soup can still be drunk even without mushrooms, right?"

Meng Xiaoyou: "..."

Threat!

A naked threat!

Meng Xiaoyou's face turned red with anger, but the mushroom baby was in Pei Sinian's hands, and she had handed it over with both hands. She could only drink the chicken soup with tears in her eyes.

She crawled out of bed, holding a bowl, her slender fingers holding a spoon, taking small sips of soup, glancing at the mushrooms.

Pei Sinian pushed up his glasses and added in a heartless manner, "Don't worry, as long as you eat your food properly, you can keep the mushroom."

Meng Xiaoyou cursed Pei Sinian in her heart for being so mean. She dawdled and drank a big bowl of wine. She was about to get out of bed to put the mushrooms away when Pei Sinian stopped her.

"Leave the mushrooms to me; you can't raise them well."

Meng Xiaoyou: "!!"

big liar!

She hurriedly tried to snatch the mushrooms from his hands, but Pei Sinian was too tall. He held up several pots of mushrooms, and she couldn't reach them at all. She was also afraid of accidentally breaking the pots, so she ultimately failed to win back custody of the mushrooms.

More than ten days after winter arrived, Moonlight Base finally realized something was wrong. Of the people who went to R City, only a few from B City returned. All the people from Moonlight Base were wiped out, and Dongfang Lie disappeared.

Cui Shiping wanted to send people to search, but because of the large number of superhumans lost this time, he couldn't spare any manpower. In addition, people began to freeze to death in the tents of the base one after another. For a time, the entire Moonlight Base was in chaos.

Su Lanyue originally agreed to cooperate with Dongfang Lie because she valued his abilities.

Now that the Zombie King has been found, and that good-for-nothing Dongfang Lie is gone, she has no choice but to place her hopes on others.

She sent people to investigate what happened during the time Meng Xiaoyou stayed at the Moonlight Base. She wanted to learn about that man through Meng Xiaoyou.

Meng Xiaoyou and her group didn't have much contact with the other people at the base. Dongfang Lie went missing, Song Zhenwan died, and Su Lanyue found a superhuman.

When the base was overrun by zombies, people with superpowers took turns patrolling. This person with superpowers was named Jiang Xiaofeng, and he patrolled with Tang Shengnan.

He was a handsome young boy. Since his superpower was only keen eyesight, which was of little use to the base, he was not among the superpowered individuals sent out this time.

Jiang Xiaofeng's life was only slightly better than that of ordinary people; he could barely make ends meet. When winter came, he was so cold that he might collapse at any moment. Suddenly, a beautiful woman approached him, and he nervously picked at the frostbite on his hands.

Su Lanyue smiled. "Don't be afraid. Do you remember Meng Xiaoyou? We met before."

Meng Xiaoyou...

Jiang Xiaofeng immediately remembered that she was a beautiful and delicate girl, with a charming appearance, fair and tender skin, and a pair of big, clear, and gentle eyes that were unforgettable after just one glance.

He immediately became alert. "Why are you asking this?"

Jiang Xiaofeng had seen too many cases like this at the base. Being beautiful is not a crime, but it becomes a sin because of some wicked people.

The young lady in front of me exudes extraordinary refinement in both her temperament and appearance. Her gentle demeanor makes people unconsciously lower their guard and feel a sense of goodwill towards her.

However, Jiang Xiaofeng wasn't blinded by beauty. He didn't want to cause trouble for others because of his momentary mistake. Besides, Su Lanyue was followed by several tall and burly men; who knew what their intentions were in questioning him?

Su Lanyue was surprised that this seemingly dull and stupid boy actually had some brains, and couldn't help but chuckle: "Don't worry, I'm Meng Xiaoyou's sister, but I won't treat her any differently."

Jiang Xiaofeng: "Then why is your surname Su and not Meng?"

"..."

Su Lanyue: "It's a long story. I don't mean anything by it, I just want to know if Sister Meng has been bullied in this base, and who is with her."

Jiang Xiaofeng didn't know much either. He tried hard to recall, "There was a man and a woman."

Su Lanyue then asked, "What's the man's name?"

Jiang Xiaofeng became wary again: "I don't know, that guy is already taken."

Su Lanyue: "..."

Mu Qingfeng was a little puzzled: "Lan Yue, you saw it too, Meng Xiaoyou doesn't want to go back with us, why waste time here? The environment in this base is poor, and there are few superhumans. If we encounter a fifth-level zombie like last time, we will be in danger."

Su Lanyue bit her lower lip lightly, "No, I can't give up on her because of a fifth-level zombie. After all, I took her place all these years and made her suffer a lot. I owe her all of this. Send more people to search. We must find Meng's whereabouts."

Then it would be good for Meng Xiaoyou's boyfriend to deal with the level 5 zombies, otherwise she might still die in that zombie horde three years later.

She suddenly looked at Jiang Xiaofeng and said, "You have good eyesight. Come with us to find people. After we succeed, I will give you a generous sum of supplies."

Jiang Xiaofeng hesitated for a moment, glancing at the weather outside. The biting wind carried the snowflakes from the tree branches, causing them to fall in a flurry. The last remaining withered leaf was crushed, just like his frozen body, which would collapse at any moment.

His hands, blue and frostbitten, were tucked into his pockets. After hesitating for a long time, he nodded in agreement.

Regardless, he wanted to live.
