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

Mushroom has grown much more capable; she's completely shed the timidity she showed when she first encountered zombies. She clenched her right fist and slammed it onto her left palm, sharpening her knife with a menacing air: "Of course, we can't fight openly; we have to outsmart them."

Outsmart?

Pei Sinian stared at her head, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopped himself. Did this little fool have any clever tricks up her sleeve?

Fortunately, Mushroom was unaware that she had been attacked by a zombie cricket. She was excitedly saying, "I've come to terms with it."

Pei Sinian: "What have you come to terms with?"

Actually, if she just thought it through and called him "brother," he was just a zombie. She wouldn't even need to fight him; he would just listen to her.

He pursed his thin lips, "Not as good as you..."

"The reason why humans can stand against zombies is because zombies eat people. However, through my observation, most zombies that have developed consciousness do not think about eating people. So, as the level of zombies continues to increase, or if I use bubbles to help them grow faster and awaken human consciousness ahead of time, they will stop eating people. In this way, humans will no longer live in fear, and there will be no need for a life-or-death struggle between zombies and humans."

This was the result of Meng Xiaoyou's long and hard thinking. She didn't want all the zombies to be wiped out, nor did she want all the humans to be eaten by the zombies. However, the conflict between humans and zombies always had to be resolved, otherwise even more people would be sacrificed.

Just like Tian Laosan and his group, if they hadn't encountered those zombies that had awakened their own consciousness in the tunnel, they would have been devoured by other zombies long ago.

They just wanted to live quietly. Mushroom also wanted to live before his superpowers became stronger... Watching Tian Laosan and the others' reactions in the tunnel touched Meng Xiaoyou deeply.

She thought that if she hadn't met Pei Sinian and hadn't awakened this special ability, she might have been living a life of wandering, just like Tian Laosan and the others, living in fear.

After careful consideration, the timid mushroom came up with this bold idea.

Pei Sinian was interrupted and stood there dumbfounded, staring at the whimsical humans.

Humans and zombies are different races, how could they possibly coexist peacefully?

Moreover, what affects zombies is their appetite. Not all zombies can turn their food reserves into lovers like he can. In this process, forbearance has become commonplace for him, and he is supported by another desire.

He remained silent for a while, then said, "Zombies aren't as good as you think. Don't get complacent just because you've encountered a few that didn't eat you."

This time, Meng Xiaoyou said very seriously, "But most of the zombies I've seen are good zombies."

"I don't have much ability, and I may not be able to change the world, but I want to give it a try."

She is now safe and sound, so instead of wasting her time, she should do something meaningful. Even if it's all just her wild fantasies, it's still better than not daring to think about it at all.

She strives to overcome her timidity and wants to do something big in her future.

At this moment, she didn't whine or act spoiled; her soft voice held an indescribable strength, and her beautiful eyes were so firm they seemed ready to join the Party.

Under such gazes, Mr. Zombie's indifferent face changed slightly, and ripples appeared in his light gray pupils.

His simpleton has become successful.

He released the suppression he had placed on the nearby zombies, letting them swarm around him. He raised his hand and patted her head, his cool voice as earnest as hers, "Very impressive."

She dared to think about changing the relationship between zombies and humans.

Mushroom didn't mean to praise him when she said those words, but the moment she was praised, she couldn't help but tilt her head, rub her palm against Pei Sinian's, and mutter, "Not angry anymore?"

"Angry." Pei Sinian's palm was tickled by her soft hair. He not only had a human heartbeat, human sense of smell and sight, but now his blood, body temperature, breathing, and perception were all changing.

Perhaps she can accomplish what she said.

Even if she can't finish, at worst he can try his best to steal more bubbles from her and take care of all the zombies in the world.

Both the mushroom and the zombie have lofty ambitions. They join hands to collect supplies. Along the way, they stop and go, encountering quite a few zombies. These zombies are like a dam opening its gates; the number is about the same each time, not too few, but enough to handle.

Meng Xiaoyou first gave them a bubble to awaken their thoughts, read their inner voices, and try to find a solution.

Pei Sinian tolerated this time and time again, after all, she was doing serious work, and he couldn't interfere with her growth.

But... in the end, he couldn't take it anymore and demanded domineeringly, "You can't do this without a plan."

"What plan?" Meng Xiaoyou was rummaging through seeds at a planting shop, holding a bag of tomato seeds in her hand, looking up at him blankly, "Does this even need a plan?"

Why not just casually unleash some skills?

"Yes," the man said matter-of-factly. "If you encounter zombies again, follow my instructions."

"Great!" Meng Xiaoyou believed him and beckoned to him, "Don't just stand by and watch, come and help."

Why can't you see life?

I'm sorry, Pei Sinian only had eyes for her bubbles right now. After she scolded him, he finally went up to help select seeds.

Meng Xiaoyou picked out some green beans and threw them into her spatial storage. "My superpower seems to be able to catalyze seeds. I can try it out later. Then I won't have to search for supplies everywhere. I can grow my own food and clothing, and it will be safe and secure."

Pei Sinian: "The mushrooms in the mountain villa..."

She immediately became alert and slapped her small hand on his lips, saying, "Don't say anything more."

What a jerk! Did he put poison on his lips? Not only did I feel weak all over after kissing him, but he also kept saying things I didn't want to hear.

Under the warning gaze of the mushroom, Pei Sinian stopped talking, slowly sorted out the seeds, stuffed them into her spatial bubble, and didn't forget to sneakily flick the purple mushroom in the space.

Meng Xiaoyou shuddered, glared at him angrily, and turned her back to him while hugging the space bubble, refusing to let him touch it.

Pei Sinian thought, "If you didn't know better, you'd think it was her playing. Look at her, her hair is all messed up."

After collecting the necessary seeds, the next wave of zombies arrived as if on cue, moving with an unrecognizable, pigeon-toed gait.

Meng Xiaoyou finally acknowledged Pei Sinian, tugging at his sleeve, "What do we do?"

Pei Sinian stood calmly in front of the zombie, slightly raising his chin. The bright sunlight seemed to gild his pale face with a layer of gold. His aura was very reliable, making Mushroom feel very safe.

Even if there were zombies in front of her, she wasn't worried that they would harm her in front of Pei Sinian.

Finally, the reliable man stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly, "Give me a bubble."

"Okay." Meng Xiaoyou used her supernatural power to give him a bubble. The purple, transparent bubble was crystal clear and vaguely reflected seven colors of light. It burst in the man's hand, merged into his skin, and then... that was it.

She glanced at Pei Sinian, then at the zombies so close at hand, and gripped his arm tightly.

"and then?"

"Give it one."

The man calmly pushed up his glasses.

The next step is... one bubble for the zombie, one bubble for him...

"One for it, one for me, one for it, one for me."

Meng Xiaoyou: "!!!"

She realized what was happening and glared at him angrily: "Pei Sinian!! You just want to steal my bubble!"
