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

This was the first time Tang Shengnan had ever seen a defeated opponent not humble himself. He disliked such arrogance and simply sneered, "Pei Sinian, can you control this zombie at all times?"

Pei Sinian closed his eyes slightly and said, "Mm."

"That's easy, I'll tie him up and teach him a lesson."

Under Pei Sinian's suppression, Sheng Jingxing, who wanted to escape, couldn't move an inch and could only watch Tang Shengnan approach. He couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and ask, "What do you want to do?"

"Fuck you!"

Tang Shengnan rolled up his sleeves and quickly handcuffed the male zombie. He then looked around and asked, "Does anyone have nail clippers?"

"Me." The female zombie kicked the mist zombie, who immediately pulled out nail clippers from his pocket and handed them over.

There was no way around it; even if Yu Xiuzhu turned into a zombie, she couldn't change her obsession with beauty. Her nails had to be trimmed neatly and rounded. During those few days at the villa, she even found several bottles of nail polish, but no matter how she applied them, she couldn't get them even.

The atomized zombie was quick-witted and practiced all night, skillfully arranging Yu Xiuzhu's fingernails perfectly. Afterwards, it even practiced manicures.

Therefore, he always carried nail clippers in his pocket, just in case.

Tang Shengnan took the nail clippers and, without saying a word, trimmed Sheng Jingxing's nails. After making sure he wouldn't scratch anyone, she stuffed a piece of cloth into his mouth, clapped her hands, and sneered, "Now that you're in my hands, I don't believe I can't deal with you."

Sheng Jingxing: "..."

His dimples were frozen on his face, and he silently ground his teeth, looking rather unconvinced.

Tang Shengnan found another rope and tied him up, handing the other end of the rope to the lame zombie. "Here you go. Keep an eye on him. I'll give you an extra chicken leg."

Upon hearing this, the lame zombie immediately became energetic, staring intently at Sheng Jingxing with wide, piercing eyes.

Tang Shengnan shrugged and said to Pei Sinian, "I was originally planning to go to City B to find you guys, but it's not necessary now. You guys..." Her gaze fell on Zhou Ziming and the others, "Aren't you going to introduce us?"

Pei Sinian didn't say much, so he simply let Zhou Ziming explain what had happened and the purpose of the operation.

Zhou Ziming had vaguely guessed Meng Xiaoyou's identity from the conversation between Tang Shengnan and Pei Sinian, and vaguely picked out the key points to talk about.

Tang Shengnan couldn't help but feel melancholy upon learning that Meng Xiaoyou had been poisoned. "You know, when Little Pretty disappeared, you didn't even tell me before leaving without saying goodbye... You have no idea how worried I was, and I didn't know where you went. I could only fret anxiously at the base. Now look what's happened, Little Pretty was perfectly fine, and she's turned into a mushroom and gotten poisoned..."

"Are you certain that finding the research data will allow you to formulate an antidote?"

Uncertainty, it's all just talk from Zhongyu Base. Pei Sinian's eyes were as cold as ice. "Useless trash doesn't need to live."

Tang Shengnan knew Pei Sinian's temper. In his eyes, there was only Xiao Piaoliang. If the best time to save Xiao Piaoliang was missed because of the people from the research institute, then the research institute would be finished.

Fortunately, the toxins in Meng Xiaoyou's body have not spread yet, but have been obediently sealed at the bottom of the mushroom stem, forming a small black spot.

It was still early, so Pei Sinian went to collect supplies as usual, stuffing everything he needed into Meng Xiaoyou's spatial bubble, and then changed his clothes.

When changing clothes, Mushroom was very restless and insisted on following him, which made Pei Sinian almost think that the mushroom Meng Xiaoyou had turned into was a perverted mushroom.

Otherwise, why would it always turn into a mushroom...?

However, the purple mushroom's eyes were watery, crystal clear, soft, and innocent, making it impossible to discern any other color.

She even jumped onto a chair, curled up obediently, stared at him, and kissed him. "You change, I'll keep watch for you."

This mushroom is the one we should be most wary of.

Pei Sinian stood in front of her, staring down at her for a long time, making Mushroom a little embarrassed and twist her waist. "Pop?" What's wrong?

Without a word, Mr. Zombie turned around and slowly unbuttoned his collar with his long, slender fingers.

Meng Xiaoyou blinked and moved a little closer.

One button, two buttons… The man unbuttoned the last button, revealing strong, muscular shoulders with dazzlingly white skin and well-defined muscles. Below that were smooth, defined shoulder blades and a taut waist…

Before the mushroom could look down any further, the clothes that had detached from the body flew straight towards the mushroom, enveloping it completely and leaving it with a cool, fresh scent that had just been removed from the man's body.

Damn!

Meng Xiaoyou's white hair was burning hot, and she struggled to wriggle around inside the clothes. She finally managed to squeeze out and looked up again. The man had already changed his clothes and had buttoned them all the way up, close to his neck. She could barely see the curve of his Adam's apple.

How can you guard against her like you would a thief... It's not like I haven't seen it before.

snort!

Mushroom was unhappy, Mushroom was in a bad mood, so much so that after Pei Sinian took Mushroom out, Meng Xiaoyou bounced onto Tang Shengnan like a spring and muttered bad things about Pei Sinian to Tang Shengnan.

Of course, Tang Shengnan couldn't understand a word, but she knew how to coax Mushroom. She spoke softly and gently, making Mushroom beam with joy. Mushroom was all smiles and bubbling with happiness. Tang Shengnan's eyes sparkled with hearts, and she wanted to pick up Mushroom from her shoulder and give it a kiss.

I tried to pick it up, but I couldn't move it.

Unconvinced, she gently pinched the mushroom's white stem again, but the mushroom didn't budge. She blinked in confusion, "Pop?" What's wrong, Sister Tang?

Finally, Pei Sinian intervened, snatched the mushroom back, and put it in his pocket.

"I'll take you to play with zombies for a while, then we'll go back to sleep so we can travel well tomorrow."

Tang Shengnan watched helplessly as the little mushroom was snatched away right under her nose, and couldn't help but question her life. Pei Sinian picked up the mushroom so easily, so why couldn't she pick it up?

Could it be that Pei Sinian used some tricks?

Pei Sinian certainly didn't use any tricks. These days, the little mushroom has become heavier and heavier, and stronger and stronger. He's almost starting to suspect that she's mutated into a super-strong mushroom.

But no matter what she becomes, he is confident that he can lift her up. It's good that she's heavy, because if she's heavy, no one else can lift her, only he can hold her.

Pei Sinian and Meng Xiaoyou began searching for zombies street by street. When they caught a zombie, Pei Sinian would secretly place a bubble in its head before giving the zombie a bubble in return, allowing Meng Xiaoyou to read minds and go through the motions to enhance her strength.

As for fulfilling the zombie's wishes?

The zombies controlled by Pei Sinian had their thoughts controlled by him, so they wouldn't expose their identities and wouldn't have to put too much effort into completing their missions.

After a while, Meng Xiaoyou discovered that... these zombies had very strange thoughts.

It either falls to the ground, hoping someone will help it up.

Or they might think, "If only I could eat some dirt."

Or they might think, "I wish I could witness a love story that's earth-shattering."

The mushroom jumps to the ground and "uproots" the zombie, then uses its stem to kick the zombie that wants to eat dirt to the ground, letting it eat its fill.

As for earth-shattering love, Mushroom was stumped.

How can you let zombies witness a love story that's earth-shattering?
