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

Meng Xiaoyou woke up because she was hungry.

She had some food stored in the space, so she took out a piece of bread and took a couple of simple bites.

The space is too small. If it were bigger, we wouldn't have to go out to find food every day.

Unfortunately, to improve her superpowers, she needs to find zombies to cooperate with; otherwise, it would take her forever to upgrade her space.

Hey!

Ok?

What smells so good?

Meng Xiaoyou's nose twitched as she followed the scent downstairs.

Downstairs, Pei Sinian had already prepared a large bowl of noodles, with chopsticks neatly placed on the table. He took out a piece of paper and wrote a few words.

No waste allowed

Pei Sinian knew that Meng Xiaoyou might still be angry and didn't want to eat the food he had made.

Therefore, we can only communicate with her through other means.

Sure enough, Meng Xiaoyou hesitated for a moment, then obediently went over, picked up her chopsticks, and tilted her head, asking, "Why are we still cooking noodles?"

Pei Sinian glanced at him indifferently.

He can't do anything else.

Fortunately, Meng Xiaoyou didn't expect him to reply. She lowered her head, took a slurp, her eyes brightened, and she mumbled, "Today's is delicious..."

The taste is very unique. There are small pieces in the soup, I don't know what they are, but they are soft and chewy.

Slurp slurp~

"Delicious! What is this?" Meng Xiaoyou picked out a piece and found that the surface was brown and the inside was white with wrinkles.

Looks a bit familiar...

Pei Sinian took out his pen and began to write slowly.

【mushroom】

Yesterday, the zombies dared to discriminate against the mushrooms, so Pei Sinian ordered them to scavenge the last remaining mushrooms in Y City overnight. They finally delivered them to his door early this morning. He happened to be cooking instant noodles, so he casually picked out a few mushrooms, cleaned them, chopped them into small pieces, and put them into the noodles.

Mr. Zombie doesn't like eating human food, but in order to fatten up his food reserves, he recently looked at a recipe and added a few pieces of meat to the seasoning.

She should like it very much.

Pei Sinian rested his chin on his hands, his gray pupils reflecting Meng Xiaoyou's face.

Her once rosy cheeks turned visibly pale, her chopsticks clattered to the ground, her beautiful eyes widened, and tears welled up, bubbles popping out. Under Pei Sinian's astonished gaze, she burst into tears.

Meng Xiaoyou cried as she looked at the half-eaten bowl of mushroom noodles and the culprit.

"you……"

She pointed at Pei Sinian, her wet eyes filled with shock and fear. Finally, she wiped away her tears and hid under the table, retching.

Woohoo~

mushroom!

She ate her own kind!

Meng Xiaoyou hugged the table leg and felt nauseous. She cried so hard she could barely breathe. After a while, her superpowers were gone and large tears slid down her cheeks. Her loud sobs turned into soft whimpers.

No matter how much Pei Sinian pulled, he wouldn't come out.

"..." Pei Sinian finally realized the seriousness of the matter. He squatted down with Meng Xiaoyou by the table and tried to wipe her tears with his fingertips, but she slapped his hand away.

She seemed to have seen something terrifying, and tried to curl up into a ball.

No matter how well they get along during this time, it doesn't change the fact that Pei Sinian is the murderer of the mushrooms.

The timid mushroom was so afraid that it wished it could turn into a purple mushroom on the spot and bury itself in the ground.

Pei Sinian had seen that look in his eyes when they first met, but as time went by, no matter how many conflicts they had, Meng Xiaoyou had never been this afraid of him.

He lowered his eyes and stiffly wrote two words.

Don't be afraid.

He doesn't plan to eat her now.

Even if we eat it, it will be later.

However, Meng Xiaoyou didn't even glance at it, continuing to immerse herself in her own world of growing mushrooms, as if she were isolated in another world.

"..." Pei Sinian's lips moved, restraining himself from making the sounds of a zombie, hating himself for being unable to speak for the first time.

If he can speak, then they can freely communicate about anything.

Unlike now, every move I make will arouse her disgust.

Finally, Pei Sinian stood up, ate the remaining half of the noodles on the table expressionlessly, cleaned up the dishes, and left.

The room finally quieted down, empty except for the faint sound of breathing.

The timid mushroom cried until it was short of breath. It peeked its head out to take a breath, then shrank back and continued crying.

She cried while pursing her lips.

She is guilty for shamefully thinking that mushrooms taste good.

She wiped away her tears and silently repented, feeling sorry for the people of the plant kingdom.

It's so insane that it can even eat plants; how is it any different from the zombies in Plants vs. Zombies?

Putting aside the zombies, even the zombies outside know not to eat plants, yet she still preyed on her own kind.

Slurp, slurp, that must hurt so much.

Meng Xiaoyou covered her mouth to stop herself from making strange, craving noises.

After a while, the doorway remained quiet. Only after confirming that the mushroom killer had finally left did Meng Xiaoyou crawl out from under the table, huffing and puffing.

She glanced longingly at the clean pot.

After crying for a while, she felt dizzy. She clutched her stomach, blinked her swollen eyes, went upstairs, locked the door, buried herself in the blankets, and started sobbing again.

Even in her dreams, a man stood menacingly by her bedside, holding a knife, whispering to her like a devil: "Once I fatten you up, I'll devour you!"

He heated the oil in a wok, his slender fingers gently stroking her purple umbrella-like surface. The cool, damp temperature was suitable for the mushroom's survival, but it also made the mushroom shudder.

Meng Xiaoyou also dreamed that he tore open her white stem, saying, "It's very fat, you can eat it now."

This time, the little mushroom couldn't cry anymore. He uprooted it and brought it closer and closer to his thin lips.

"Ah!" She opened her wet eyes with a start. The dim light wasn't too glaring. She blinked lightly, got out of bed, and went to the bathroom to wash her face.

Her face looked terrible in the mirror; her eyes were red and swollen, and her eyelashes were dripping with water. She pinched her cheek, and the pain made her realize that she was still alive and had not been eaten.

Thinking about the dream and what happened that morning, Meng Xiaoyou felt a pang of sadness and didn't want to stay in the house for even a moment longer, so she tidied up and went downstairs.

Downstairs, Pei Sinian hadn't returned yet. Meng Xiaoyou was clearly afraid to see him, but she still couldn't help worrying about his health.

What if he gets eaten by zombies on the street when his illness flares up?

What if a bad guy kidnaps him?

Should we go look for it?

To be fair, aside from the mushroom-killing incident and the inexplicable bullying, the other party did not intend to eat her.

There might be some misunderstanding involved, after all, he didn't know he was a mushroom...

Where did he go...? Meng Xiaoyou bit her lower lip, torn between two options, but in the end, she couldn't resist picking up a shovel and going out to look for him.

Just like yesterday, the zombies she encountered seemed to have gone mad; even if they weren't hit by her powers, they would still instinctively dodge her.

She went out and visited some dangerous large shopping malls. When she encountered zombies, she would use bubble reading to ask if they had seen a tall, thin, handsome human man.

The zombies all looked bewildered, lost in thought.

There are no humans, only zombies.
