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

After Meng Xiaoyou returned and had breakfast, she stood solemnly in front of Pei Sinian and recounted the events that had occurred during his slumber.

"The nearby bases are all after you, what should we do?"

But then the zombie calmly used ice to make a headboard, leaned over it, and picked up a book with his finely carved white jade fingers, flipping through it.

Meng Xiaoyou tried to lean closer: "Where did you get this book?"

"We went out to search last night."

Pei Sinian raised his hand and pressed it against her forehead, preventing her from getting closer.

She frowned slightly: "Why go out like that? What if you get captured by humans and used for experiments? Is this book really that important? I want to read it too."

"Just kill her." Mr. Zombie didn't take humans seriously at all. He casually grabbed Mushroom Fate by the back of her neck and placed her on the lab table. He lightly touched her forehead with his fingertip, his gaze never leaving the book. He said nonchalantly, "You can't look at this. I'll teach you when I've learned it. You won't understand."

Then, as if he had encountered some difficult problem, his brows furrowed and his expression became very serious.

Meng Xiaoyou's heart leaped into her throat. "Who says I don't understand? Let me see, I'm smarter than you."

Pei Sinian paused, almost letting Mushroom snatch the book away. He got up, hid the book, took her hand, and stroked her palm with his fingertips. "Hmm, very smart, but this book is not suitable for you. I need to teach you personally. Maybe next time your hand won't hurt."

Upon hearing this, Meng Xiaoyou thought he was going to kill her again, so she hid herself away looking aggrieved and claimed that she would continue to break off their friendship.

With the noise finally subsiding, Pei Sinian relaxed his brows, lowered his eyes, his thick eyelashes drooping, and his gaze fell on the contents of the book, lost in thought.

--

Humans are becoming increasingly rampant. Although Meng Xiaoyou likes the damp underground environment, it doesn't mean she can live underground forever. Tang Shengnan, as a pure human, is even less likely to be able to do so.

She found out about the base and knew Academician Rong's exact address. Based on the previous experience, Academician Rong's side had strengthened its defenses. Even if they launched a surprise attack from underground, they wouldn't be able to kill him in a short time, as the base would quickly mobilize manpower.

Pei Sinian had his own thoughts on this, and he asked Meng Xiaoyou, "Do you want zombies and humans to coexist peacefully?"

Meng Xiaoyou naturally thought that humans have good and bad sides, and zombies also have good and bad sides. She would feel strange if either side were wiped out, since zombies eventually develop consciousness, they just don't have feelings.

There's nothing to fear regarding emotions, because Meng Xiaoyou discovered that any zombie whose mind has been read will regain its emotions.

Take the female zombie for example. She used to disregard humans and only captured Zhou Ziming for her own selfish desires. But now she's no longer obsessed with forcing humans.

On the contrary, Zhou Ziming frequently inquired about the female zombie's condition via walkie-talkie.

Meng Xiaoyou found it strange, so he said he just wanted to prevent the female zombie from harming people.

In short, Meng Xiaoyou didn't want humans and zombies to kill each other.

The idea is good, but it's not realistic at all. Humans and zombies are like a food chain. Ordinary zombies want to eat humans, and humans kill zombies indiscriminately in order to protect themselves.

Meng Xiaoyou considered persuading the zombies one by one, but she was alone, and what about the zombies?

There are zombies everywhere; she couldn't possibly finish it even if she worked herself to death.

To this, Pei Sinian said, "It's enough for you to think about it."

After Pei Sinian advanced to the ninth level of zombie, he no longer needed mental power to control the zombies, as if commanding zombies was something he was born with.

Under his oppressive aura, even mindless, low-level zombies had to obey him.

He brazenly led the underground zombies to garrison in Gong County. The hidden dangers left over from the B City base had not been cleared. Sensing Pei Sinian's call, the zombies marched in a mighty force towards Gong County.

After the apocalypse, the zombie virus spreads rapidly and in large numbers, and when gathered together, the numbers are even more considerable.

On this day, all bases near City B sounded the alarm and held an emergency meeting.

"Brother Gu, what's going on? Holy crap, there are so many zombies! We haven't been back for months and our B City has been overrun by zombies?"

A convoy of vehicles was trembling with fear on the only road back to Zhongyu Base. They tried to escape frantically but to no avail and were surrounded by a horde of zombies!

A wave of despair washed over everyone. Gu Jianguo had just made contact with headquarters when he closed his eyes and gave a bitter smile: "What kind of mess is this? The signal is back up, and the phone should be able to communicate again soon. The good days have just begun, and I'm about to be cannon fodder."

"Brother Gu, I'm scared!" His new female companion pressed close to his chest, panicked.

Even Gu Jianguo was afraid!

But he's a real man!

Even if you frequently change female partners, you should still set a good example for them.

He patted the woman's shoulder to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, we'll die together!"

woman:"……"

A group of underlings behind him were wailing, "Boss, think of something!"

"We don't want to die, what can we do? We don't have any explosives."

"Damn it! What can we do? Unless the big boss is here, we're all doomed!"

However, a few minutes later, Gu Jianguo and the others were caught like birds and put in a cage, where they finally met the big boss they had been longing to see.

"Boss? You got captured by zombies too?"

Great, the big boss has been arrested too, they're doomed!

Gu Jianguo and his men were taken to a makeshift, dilapidated shack. The facilities were inadequate, but it was clean.

The floor was shiny, as if it had been licked by a calf.

Just like his skull, it probably gleamed when the zombies gnawed on it.

He was overjoyed to see Pei Sinian, but also heartbroken: "We went to negotiate with other bases, and when we finally came back, we encountered a zombie horde. These zombies had planned this. They didn't eat us, but instead captured us and brought us here. I don't know what they want to do. Boss, do you have any clues?"

The zombie horde surrounded the area, and Gu Jianguo and his companions were sweating profusely with anxiety. Meanwhile, the big shot, who was also human, was calmly sitting in a chair reading a book. Look at him, with his glasses on, he was a respectable cultured man. He was reading a book even before he died.

The cultured man calmly pushed up his glasses and finally turned his gaze toward the doorway, a slight change appearing in his usually indifferent eyes.

Gu Jianguo thought he was about to say something important, but then he saw the man's gaze soften a bit. "Come sit down, are you tired?"

Everyone was taken aback. Is the big boss really this gentle?

The zombies at the door made a rustling sound. Everyone turned around and saw the zombies make way for a girl with delicate and beautiful features carrying a golden shovel. Her eyes were clear, and she greeted them when she saw them: "It's you guys. I remember you, you womanizer."

Gu Jianguo: "..."

The humans swallowed hard, looked at the surrounding zombies, then at the little girl whom even the zombies were making way for, and stiffly said, "Sister Meng."

It feels like I'm hallucinating; the world seems a bit crazy.
