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

Having spent so much time with Pei Sinian, Meng Xiaoyou only knew that he had water-based superpowers, was rather "violent" and liked to pull the back of her collar, and liked to stomp on zombies. She never knew that he could also control zombies.

Compared to the cunning male zombie, Meng Xiaoyou trusted Pei Sinian more.

But how do you explain these zombies suddenly turning on each other with swords?

Surely the male zombie wouldn't have to stage a fight between himself and Pei Sinian?

Totally unnecessary.

Mushroom stood alone in the horde of zombies, gazing at Pei Sinian from afar, hoping to find the answer within him.

Pei Sinian turned his face away and remained silent, physically fighting the male zombie while mentally battling it in a place invisible to the naked eye.

The male zombie was surprised that despite his efforts, he still couldn't defeat Pei Sinian, but he looked for a weakness in Meng Xiaoyou's defenses.

Because it could sense that although Pei Sinian was fighting it, he was focusing most of his attention on the other side.

Don't you want it to hurt her?

The male zombie bared its fangs and let out a low growl, causing all the zombies to tremble and pounce on Meng Xiaoyou.

As Meng Xiaoyou dodged the zombies, she glanced deeply in Pei Sinian's direction.

No matter what, she's just a burden here, only distracting Pei Sinian. It would be better to go up the mountain and find someone else…

But the path was blocked by zombies that had crawled out, so she had no choice but to run down the mountain.

It had been a long time since she had run away like this. The ground was slippery with snow, and she ran while panting heavily, not forgetting to look back at Pei Sinian.

Two males were fighting, stirring up a flurry of snowflakes. Sunlight pierced through the snow and mist, and in the hazy light, the men seemed to have the upper hand.

Sure enough, without her, Pei Sinian's attack power increased.

Meng Xiaoyou wasn't abandoning Pei Sinian out of fear of death, but rather because she knew that staying there would be pointless and would only distract him.

These zombies are now under her control and are completely unaffected by her bubble. Meng Xiaoyou is no longer sleepy and is leading the scattered zombies as she runs wildly downwards.

Her face was numb from the cold, and her eyelashes were covered in frost. She would occasionally turn her head to look at the zombies behind her. Seeing them following her in rows, straight and with a clear goal in mind, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, these zombies followed, so Pei Sinian only needed to deal with the powerful one. He just hoped that the commotion would attract other people.

The wind howled all the way, and she didn't know how long she had been running. Her skin was so cold that it ached, and her cotton coat was no longer warm. She sniffed, her vision blurred with water, and she could barely see the road. Suddenly, she seemed to step on something, her foot slipped, and she fell to the ground. On the downhill section, she rolled several times before plunging headfirst into the snow.

Even worse, when she looked up, she saw a circle of zombies above her. The zombies were different now; half of them had lost control, while the other half seemed to be under control, ganging up on the other half.

"..." Is it out of control because of the distance?

She scrambled to her feet in fear and silently slipped away from the horde of corpses. She must have hit her head when she fell; the back of her head throbbed, and her vision was blurry. She rubbed her hands together, ignoring the discomfort, and put them in her pockets. Swaying unsteadily, she vaguely saw a convoy of cars passing by at the intersection below…

"Miss Su, it looks like someone is coming down the mountain over there."

The convoy sped from Moonlight Base toward R City. Jiang Xiaofeng sat nervously in the back seat. With his sharp eyes, he spotted something immediately and quickly called out from behind.

Mu Qingfeng was driving, and Su Lanyue was sitting in the passenger seat. She slowly said, "We still need to go back to City B. We shouldn't need to bother the people outside."

She frowned slightly and said worriedly, "I wonder how Mother is doing."

Yesterday, someone from City B suddenly came to inform Su Lanyue that her mother missed her two children and was very worried, so she fell seriously ill and wanted Su Lanyue to go back.

After parting ways with Meng Xiaoyou in R City, Su Lanyue never saw Meng Xiaoyou again. She could only put the matter of the Zombie King aside for the time being and return to B City with her people.

In the past, if Su Lanyue had encountered someone, she might have stopped the car and pretended to look at them, but now she had no patience to pay attention to other irrelevant people.

But then someone behind him said, "I think that person is Miss Meng. She fell down."

Su Lanyue's face stiffened, and before she could speak, Mu Qingfeng had already stepped on the brakes.

"I'll go down and take a look."

Su Lanyue nodded stiffly and said in a low voice, "...Okay, be careful."

There were three vehicles in total, including theirs. The other two vehicles saw...

Mu Qingfeng got out of the car and looked in the direction he had just passed. He immediately saw a small head stuck in the snow. Looking up the mountain, he saw a group of zombies dancing wildly.

His eyelids twitched. Although he couldn't see clearly from the back of her head whether it was Meng Xiaoyou, he still ran over quickly. Then, with a thud, he missed a step and fell to the ground without any dignity.

Mu Qingfeng's first reaction: There's a trap!

It dawned on me: There's a ditch!

The ravine was covered by heavy snow, making it impossible to tell the depth. A slight misstep could lead to the same fate as them.

Glancing at the peaceful head beside him, he called out, "Meng Xiaoyou?"

The other person lay there calmly and motionless.

Did you faint from the fall?

Seeing that the zombie horde had stopped fighting and were all looking over, Mu Qingfeng didn't stop and dug the person out of the snow.

She seemed to have fallen quite hard; a large bump swelled on her forehead, her eyes were tightly closed, and she was unconscious. Her face was already red and purple; in this kind of weather, even a living person could freeze to death if they stayed there for too long.

Even though Mu Qingfeng didn't like Meng Xiaoyou, she was, after all, Uncle Su's biological daughter, and he couldn't just stand by and watch her die.

Seeing that the zombies not far away had stopped fighting and were about to come over, he used his superpower to create a wind wall to block them and quickly brought Meng Xiaotong back to the car.

There were only three people in their car. He put Meng Xiaoyou in the back seat and asked Jiang Xiaofeng to watch over her. He then gave an order to the other two cars, got in, and drove off quickly.

Almost simultaneously, the zombie horde rioted, like moths to a flame, constantly crashing into the wind wall.

Because Pei Sinian could no longer sense Meng Xiaoyou through the zombies.

After Meng Xiaoyou left, Pei Sinian used a portion of his mental energy to control the zombies and keep an eye on her movements, while focusing the rest of his attention on the male zombies.

A pair of light gray eyes gradually darkened, her brows and eyes instantly sharpened, her aura became terrifying, and her ferocity surged. In the instant she dodged the male zombie's claws, her strong arm pressed against its neck, her movements both refined and ruthless, shoving the male zombie against a tree. "You talk too much."

The male zombie was being choked, his fangs making a sickening crunching sound, his eyes wide open, seemingly surprised at how he had suddenly become different.

The man's fingers were fair and slender, like flawlessly carved jade. When he exerted force, the veins on the back of his hand would bulge slightly, showing his explosive power. He squeezed the male zombie's throat so hard that it made a cracking sound. Under the zombie's terrified gaze, he picked up an ice pick with his other hand and slowly pressed it against the zombie's forehead.

Zombies cannot feel pain, but they can feel fear of men.

The male zombie reclaimed control of the zombie horde and wanted to fight Pei Sinian to the death. No matter how much Pei Sinian struggled and used all his mental strength, he was like a fish on a chopping board, at Pei Sinian's mercy.

how come……

They are all spiritual beings, capable of controlling their own kind. Even if they couldn't kill him, they should have been able to escape.

Why...? This creature seemed to have a hard time dealing with it before, but now... it's changed.

His aura completely changed after that woman left.

The male zombie was completely baffled, and likewise, it had no chance.

Just a second before the ice pick pierced its crystal core, the male zombie heard his terrifying kin mutter to themselves: "It ran away in fright after all—useless trash, utterly useless."

The second sentence was addressed to the male zombie, while the first sentence was addressed to... the humans who had run away.
