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

What could a mushroom possibly have done wrong?

She was being very obedient; she was just asking someone to help modify the weapon. Why did Pei Sinian make that face?

Besides, she hasn't even settled accounts with Pei Sinian for what happened before, so how could he have the nerve to blame Mushroom?

Meng Xiaoyou mentally criticized the man, loudly chirping, refusing to tolerate his bad habits. She put the shovel into her spatial bubble and turned to talk to the others.

Pei Sinian, who was about to answer what was wrong with the little fool: "..."

He stared intently at the back of the little ingrate's head. Very well, she won't call him that, huh? There are plenty of times when she doesn't call him by name.

The sample of the mutated plant was obtained by Meng Xiaoyou from the small vine, and she wanted Tian Laosan and the others to take it back to the base for research.

Originally, Meng Xiaoyou wanted to take it back herself, but these people had already received their missions, and it would be bad to let them go empty-handed. Mushroom's last bit of conscience was stirring, so she decided to let them take it back. Besides, that Luo Qingxue didn't like Mushroom, and even if the base research institute were to develop an antidote, she might not help her.

She and Pei Sinian took the things over, what if they didn't acknowledge them?

"A large number of people is evidence," the clever Mushroom and Tian Laosan muttered to each other. "You guys have to say my name, okay? If they refuse to treat me in the future, let us yell at them. I'm going to morally blackmail them."

Who talks like that? Everyone was amused by her. "Aren't you coming back with us?"

Meng Xiaoyou shook her head: "No, we have something to do and need to go. You guys go first, and be careful on the road."

"it is good."

Just before they left, Pei Sinian suddenly called them back, gave each of them an icicle, and as before, said succinctly: "It will work if you encounter zombies."

These people still have value; we can't let them get eaten by other zombies halfway through their journey.

Unlike Tian Laosan, the others immediately grasped the other meaning, thinking it was Pei Sinian's special ability that could be used as a weapon in dangerous situations, and would be very sharp when piercing the skulls of zombies.

Only then did Tian Laosan realize that his previous icicle was missing, so he set off with a new icicle.

Fortunately, Pei Sinian was unaware of their thoughts, otherwise he would have been inwardly disgusted by the stupidity of humans.

After getting rid of the eyesore, Meng Xiaoyou went to say goodbye to the little zombie. "I can't take you with me this time. I'll come back to find you after I'm cured of the poison, and then we'll go home and go to the villa."

She didn't plan to stay at the B City base; the humans at the manor were more to her liking.

The little zombie was reluctant to see her leave, but it didn't react as violently as last time. It simply reminded Pei Sinian, "You still owe me a high-level crystal core."

"Ah."

Pei Sinian nodded in agreement, then grabbed Meng Xiaoyou by the back of the neck and was lifted up by the vines.

Back on the ground, the sky was just beginning to brighten, and a large patch of fog in the distance had not yet dissipated. Unbeknownst to them, winter had passed, and the early spring mornings were still a bit chilly. Meng Xiaoyou silently took a step back, only to be pulled back by Pei Sinian, whose voice carried a hint of displeasure: "Where are you going?"

Meng Xiaoyou shrank back, "It's cold."

Don't you know how cold you are? Why do you need the mushroom to tell you?

Even the mushrooms didn't want to talk to him.

Pei Sinian: "..." Why does he stick to zombies one minute and then dislike them the next?

Incomprehensible.

His face was tense. "I'll take you to find supplies."

The space inside isn't enough to support humans, so they need to stockpile supplies.

Gong County was razed to the ground. He used his mental power to search and found a few cars that hadn't been crushed and were barely drivable. He cleaned the outside and had Meng Xiaoyou put them into her spatial storage.

As for why two cars were stored, it was simply because Pei Sinian was a rather wasteful car enthusiast.

Meng Xiaoyou was given a couple of bites of food and then went to the passenger seat to hug her seatbelt.

With plenty of sunshine, the remaining ice and snow melted, and the car finally stopped slipping. After a bumpy and winding journey, we finally found a county town nearby.

--

"Didn't you say that Meng Xiaoyou and the others had already gone to Gong County? We've been waiting all morning, and they still haven't returned."

Su Lanyue sat in the car, her pale face contorted with rage and anxiety.

Gong County isn't far away, and we've seen many vehicles coming and going, and even dealt with many scattered zombies, but we haven't seen even a trace of Meng Xiaoyou.

As if struck by a thought, her expression darkened: "She wouldn't not be going back to the base, would she?"

Compared to her anxiety, Xiao Yuan was much calmer. He stared at the convoy coming and going, lit a cigarette, and said, "No, the poison in her body hasn't been neutralized yet."

The toxins in everyone were temporarily suppressed. Su Lanyue's inhuman and ghostly appearance was due not only to her intense emotional fluctuations but also to the toxins.

Her body was about to give out.

Xiao Yuan was physically stronger than her, and he had experienced all sorts of great trials and tribulations in his life. He didn't take such a trivial matter seriously at all. To put it another way, he didn't care about life or death; he only cared about the status of the Xiao family and Su Lanyue.

If he were to die one day, he would surely destroy the Xiao family and Su Lanyue first.

He said, "Wait a little longer. The information from the research institute is definitely correct."

Su Lanyue: "Why should the research institute help you?"

"Who knows?" Xiao Yuan narrowed his effeminate eyes, a ruthless glint in them. "Just wait here. This road is the only way back to the base. I don't believe they can grow wings and fly back."

Meng Xiaoyou, who was always being thought of, was unaware that some people had been waiting for her for a long time. She was happily heading into the county town to select supplies.

When she came in, she glanced at the sign; the county was called Pingyang County.

"I heard that there are no survivors in the counties near City B, only zombies. Do you think we might be surrounded and attacked?"

After getting out of the car, Meng Xiaoyou took a deep breath. "Wait a minute, the stench of the corpse doesn't seem that strong."

"Hmm." Mr. Zombie nodded, pushed up his glasses, and calmly surveyed the unfamiliar city. His mental network expanded domineeringly, driving away nearby zombies to keep them away so they wouldn't scare the humans he raised.

However, the next second, Mushroom, who should have been afraid, became excited. She grabbed Pei Sinian's arm and asked, "Tell me, can I wipe out all the zombies here?"

Pei Sinian: "???"

His mental defenses were about to collapse, and it took him a long time to finally swallow hard. "How do we fight?"

Why did you mention other zombies, you silly goose?

Instead of wiping out all the other zombies, it's better to think about how to defeat him first. Beating him into submission is just as good.

Calling her "brother" a couple of times is fine; the zombies here all listen to her.
