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

Meng Xiaoyou was easily taken away by the man, who simply stuffed her into the pocket of his cotton-padded coat.

During the conversation, Pei Sinian casually asked, "Can we take a car out of the space?"

"Mwah~" Okay~

Once everyone was on the road, a car appeared out of nowhere in front of them.

Zhou Ziming asked incredulously, "Brother Pei?"

Pei Sinian said calmly, "You all get in the car first."

The two people he killed yesterday were still lying dead on the road. Pei Sinian ignored Su Lanyue's corpse, dug out Xiao Yuan's crystal core, washed it clean and put it in his pocket. He gently poked the mushroom with his fingertip and said, "Put it in my space."

When the object between his two fingers came to an empty space, Pei Sinian slightly curled the corners of his lips.

After confirming certain things, he got into the car and followed the others back to the base.

After undergoing the examination, Zhou Ziming said goodbye to him and went to report to his superiors with a heavy heart.

The losses were too great; only he and his teammates remained. He needed to go to the base to report the specific situation.

When the higher-ups heard that it was the Xiao and Su families who were responsible, they were furious and sent people to investigate the matter thoroughly.

Upon hearing this, Wang Gang from the mercenary group was delighted and skillfully began spreading rumors.

Even the most persistent troublemaker can't out-stir him up.

Soon, news of the Xiao and Su families plotting to harm military personnel spread throughout the base, causing a wave of panic.

Survival in the apocalypse was already difficult enough, so they tried to avoid offending the major powers within the base. But when these people murdered people for their own selfish desires, everything changed.

If they dare to harm even the military, who knows if they won't be the next ones to be harmed?

Zhou Ziming stated that this matter would be thoroughly investigated, and that they would even appeal to headquarters to demand an explanation.

In an effort to maintain balance, the four parties established a headquarters oversight department, and the various factions mobilized to quickly bring in other relevant personnel involved in the matter.

Su Ji had just calmed Su Yue down and was searching the world for the rebellious daughter when he was suddenly summoned to the conference hall.

He only asked one question, "Su Lanyue...is she dead?"

Zhou Ziming sneered: "She's dead, why don't you ask what she did? So many of my brothers were killed by this woman and that illegitimate son of the Xiao family."

Su Ji remained silent with a sullen face.

After all, his daughter, whom he had raised for so long, was gone just like that. He felt empty inside, and sadness was inevitable.

Compared to him, the Xiao family member had an even more explosive temper, and said sarcastically, "The person is already dead, so you can say whatever you want. Why would my son be so desperate as to ambush and kill you?"

"What do you mean?"

Zhou Ziming instantly exploded, glaring at him angrily, "Are you saying I framed him?"

The head of the Xiao family had a face so dark it was almost dripping with water. He gave a cold laugh and said, "I didn't say that. This matter needs to be investigated thoroughly to prevent it from being used by those with ulterior motives."

"Stop arguing."

The person in charge of the military was a middle-aged man over fifty years old named Zhu Heping. He had a serious expression and an imposing presence: "We have already sent people to the scene to investigate. What kind of behavior is this, with you all making such a racket? If the Su and Xiao families can't manage their people, they shouldn't get involved in anything that happens at the base in the future. Let the Mu family handle it."

The researchers didn't come, and Wang Gang from the mercenary group added fuel to the fire: "Pingyang County hasn't been bombed yet, has it? You two should just stay home and fight your lawsuit these next few days. We mercenary group will handle Pingyang County."

Bombing zombies is dangerous, but most of the crystal cores left behind will end up in their pockets. As for those handed over to the base?

How much to hand over is entirely up to them.

Several factions were originally vying for this lucrative position, but with the two powerful families causing such a commotion, their chances are over.

Zhu Heping said calmly, "Okay, we're short on ammunition lately, so you can try using your special abilities to test the waters first."

Wang Gang: “???”

After the negotiation, no one benefited. When Su Ji returned, he originally wanted to keep the news of Su Lanyue's death a secret, but Madam Su found out anyway. She was so angry that she fainted as soon as she closed her eyes. In an instant, the entire Su family was in chaos and could not care about anything else.

The rental apartment was peaceful and serene.

Sunlight sneaked into the room, shining on the man's face. He sat lazily on the sofa, his hands moving back and forth with needle and thread on the fabric. His every move was elegant and composed, not like he was threading a needle, but rather like he was manipulating mountains and rivers.

A mushroom-shaped head peeked out of his shirt pocket, revealing two dark eyes, and she muttered something in a dignified tone.

The man would occasionally take a moment to gently rub the canopy of her umbrella and respond softly.

Meng Xiaoyou glared angrily, "Kiss! What are you kowtowing about? Let whoever wants to wear this green fabric wear it."

"Oh, I see."

The man calmly cut off the shoulder and pinned the green "little lotus leaf" to her forehead. "I know you like it. Put it on quickly, and I'll make you a few more."

Meng Xiaoyou: "..."

You're the one who's going to piss me off! You're the one who likes this!

The purple mushroom, puffing angrily on its little green hat, landed on his shoulder with a thud, but unexpectedly slipped on the white pole and almost fell over. It was steadily caught by the man's fingertips. He turned his head and asked, "What are you doing?"

Meng Xiaoyou had always known that Pei Sinian was good-looking, although not as good-looking as Bai Mogu, but he barely met her aesthetic standards.

With his striking bone structure, his profile features well-defined brow bones, a strong nose, and a small cupid's bow on his thin lips. As he speaks, his small, pointed teeth are faintly visible at the corners of his lips.

She stood on his shoulder, very close to his profile, and because she was small in stature, she could clearly feel the overwhelming impact of his handsome face.

Mushroom was momentarily captivated by the man's good looks, but she couldn't resist her temper and hummed loudly, using his ear as a springboard to bounce onto his head.

He was very clean and washed his hair every day. His black, short hair was the perfect length, with slightly stiff strands. The mushroom-shaped hair was pricked by his hair, and he shook his umbrella in dissatisfaction, shaking off the green cloth covering his head and throwing it onto his hair.

Amidst a sea of ​​flowers, a touch of green caught the mushroom's eye. The mushroom, quite pleased with itself, built a nest on its head and proudly made a "pop pop" sound.

Pei Sinian didn't understand, but continued what he was doing, cutting out a strip of cloth, sewing up the rough cuts with needle and thread, and taking her off his head.

Fingers flew across her body, and in no time, a black bow appeared on her pole.

The little mushroom twisted awkwardly and tilted its umbrella. "Pop?" Are you just trying to fool me?

Pei Sinian found her a small mirror, placed it in front of her, and praised her in a clear, flat voice, "Beautiful."

Meng Xiaoyou moved closer.

The black bows stand out sharply against the white, jade-like mushroom stems, and the butterfly wings on both sides are very symmetrical, making them look quite similar.

She tilted her head and straightened the mushroom stem.

"Bo Bo?" Doesn't that sound like the big boss of a company?

Humans wear suits with bow ties, she thought, but she had never seen one before. She just had a feeling that it was something that was tied around the neck.

Pei Sinian nodded in agreement: "Yes, it looks good."

It looks good on her no matter how it's tied around her.

Meng Xiaoyou looked at him suspiciously. If she remembered correctly, he didn't seem to like her original form very much before.

Why are you praising mushrooms??????

Wouldn't this be considered what people often call "two-faced compliance"?
