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

"A zombie..." That's not him.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Meng Xiaoyou's clear black and white eyes.

Where could an invisible human go?

"Meng Xiaoyou!! There are zombies! What are you standing there for? Run!"

An anxious voice came from afar. Meng Xiaoyou looked in the direction of the voice and saw a boy with a terrified expression, shouting, "Run!"

She glanced at the friendly zombie, then at the "ferocious" Xiao Moqiong. Before Meng Xiaoyou could make a move, the zombie had already rushed towards Xiao Moqiong.

Xiao Moqiong: "Oh my god!"

He turned and ran.

As he ran, he muttered to himself, "What's wrong with these zombies? Why do they ignore the humans right next to them and go to such lengths to eat them?"

No brains.

However, he still has a chance to escape if he runs, but Meng Xiaoyou is so close to the zombies that she definitely can't escape.

The thought of saving someone made Xiao Moqiong feel like he was the main character, and he felt a lot taller.

His fleeing figure still looked somewhat disheveled. After a short while, he braked suddenly and ran back, this time followed by more than a dozen zombies.

It seems they've inadvertently disturbed a zombie abode.

Meng Xiaoyou sighed softly and slowly followed, gesturing as she ran and asking, "Have you seen a man this tall, wearing a white shirt and glasses?"

Xiao Moqiong, panting heavily, said, "Sister! You're my own sister. Can you please stop asking such nonsense at a time like this? Let's focus on escaping."

“Oh…” Meng Xiaoyou glanced back briefly.

The zombies looked ferocious and bared their teeth, which was indeed terrifying. Even though she knew they weren't meant to harm her, Meng Xiaoyou couldn't help but shudder.

Xiao Moqiong was afraid she would fall behind, so he reached out and grabbed her, saying, "Come with me."

They ran eastward until they reached a dilapidated neighborhood, where they locked themselves inside with an iron gate.

The zombies chasing behind smelled the stench of flesh and were right in front of them. They piled up into small mountains and clung to the iron gate, struggling and growling. Rotten flesh fell to the ground due to the pressure, revealing yellowish bones with dried brown blood on them, looking ferocious and terrifying.

Meng Xiaoyou doesn't like looking at the faces of the zombies when she deals with them.

Otherwise, you're very likely to have nightmares at night.

She took a few steps back, and together with Xiao Moqiong, they looked around and walked inside, trying to find another exit.

Xiao Moqiong led the way through a maze of turns, saying, "After we get past here, the wholesale market is just ahead. Have you packed everything?"

"What?" Meng Xiaoyou paused, looking up at him.

Xiao Moqiong then noticed that something was wrong with her.

His eyes were red and swollen, as if he had just been crying.

"What's wrong with you? Didn't you come to find me to leave Y City and go to the outskirts? We're ready to leave Y City tomorrow! This place is a godforsaken wasteland, abandoned by humans. Soon it will only be left with zombies. You should come with us."

Xiao Moqiong thought he would see Meng Xiaoyou here, because Meng Xiaoyou had decided to leave with him.

He scratched his head. "Where are your friends? Aren't they coming with us?"

Suddenly, Xiao Moqiong stopped speaking and stared at her eyes uncertainly, "Your friend wasn't eaten by a zombie, was she? That's why she's crying so badly."

“No, not at all,” Meng Xiaoyou retorted immediately.

It wasn't any other mushroom that died, but rather the one she personally devoured.

Pei Sinian is doing well.

He won't get eaten by zombies.

The thought of this possibility made Meng Xiaoyou's eyes redden again. "I'm not going with you. I want to find my friend. He's disappeared, and I want to find him."

“But we’re leaving soon. Even if we gather supplies next time, we won’t come back to Y City. In a few days, when autumn comes, we’ll go to the fields to see if there’s any food left… So come with us.”

Meng Xiaoyou wanted to leave.

Although she wasn't very brave, she really liked humans. Living with good humans was better than living with smelly zombies.

However, given the example of Lü Qiang and his group, there are good and bad people in humanity. Even if Xiao Moqiong is a good person, it doesn't mean that all his teammates are good people.

Moreover, Pei Sinian has not yet been found.

In the past, she would have left without saying a word.

But the thought of her husband cooking instant noodles for her every day...

Although Pei Sinian killed Mushroom, she still felt a little guilty for letting Cowardly Mushroom abandon him and go with someone else.

She swore it wasn't because she was greedy.

Seeing that Meng Xiaoyou was determined to leave, Xiao Moqiong couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. "Alright, think about it again tonight. I'll wait for you at the wholesale market behind here until nine o'clock in the morning tomorrow. If you don't come, we'll leave."

"it is good!"

There were zombies at the front door, so they left through the back door. As soon as they stepped out, Meng Xiaoyou saw a familiar figure at the door.

The dark clouds blocked out the sun, and the light was insufficient. The man stood under the tree by the door, his profile shrouded in black shadow.

His skin was pale and his features were otherworldly. Behind his gold-rimmed glasses, his eyes were slightly lowered, and the narrow outline of his eyes revealed a hint of weariness, as if he were disgusted with the world, or with himself, and with everyone present.

Xiao Moqiong swallowed hard, instinctively standing in front of Meng Xiaoyou, staring at him warily, "Who are you, and what do you want?"

In critical moments, Xiao Moqiong is quite reliable. For example, in such a low-pressure situation, his first reaction is to stand in front of his friend instead of hiding behind him.

Meng Xiaoyou was touched and gently tugged at his sleeve. "He's my friend."

Xiao Moqiong was taken aback. He subconsciously glanced at Pei Sinian, then at Meng Xiaoyou, and asked, "How many good friends do you actually have?"

Pei Sinian glanced at Meng Xiaoyou's small hand that was holding Xiao Moqiong's hand, his gaze becoming even colder.

He also wanted to know how many "good friends" the grain reserves actually had.

In the morning, she was hiding under the table crying, but in the afternoon she was chatting and laughing with the useless human.

Compared to being cautious in front of him, the food reserves were not at all reserved in front of this human.

He pressed his fangs against the corners of his lips, and felt his gums starting to itch again.

Meng Xiaoyou felt a chill run down her spine, but she didn't pay much attention to it. She nodded to Xiao Moqiong, "Yeah, just him. If you count, then there are two!"

She held out two fingers.

Xiao Moqiong's lips twitched. "Where do you see him as weak and unable to take care of himself?"

What happened to her friend being said to be weak and unable to take care of herself?

This friend's aura could randomly scare a male high school student to death, okay?

Meng Xiaoyou turned her head and carefully observed Pei Sinian, then shrank back. "Don't let his fierce appearance fool you, he's actually quite weak. He walks very slowly, faints easily, has a heart condition, is blind, and can't speak properly."

Afraid of bringing up Pei Sinian's painful past, she deliberately leaned closer to Xiao Moqiong and whispered, "Tell me, isn't he very weak?"

Xiao Moqiong felt great sympathy upon hearing this.

He scratched his chilly back and whispered to Meng Xiaoyou, mimicking her mannerisms, "Hiss, apart from her height, figure, and face, she's good for nothing, and quite pitiful."

The two thought they were speaking discreetly, but in reality, the zombies had keen hearing, and their conversation, carried by the zombie crickets, reached Pei Sinian's ears.

Zombies don't understand complicated things. Pei Sinian could understand it as these two humans being incredibly audacious, and that he was weak in front of them?!
