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

"If they have the capability, they could attack the base directly. Why have they dragged it out until now?"

Lu Beichuan: "Only teachers are the hope of all mankind. The zombies are afraid, afraid that teachers will become a threat to them, which is why they made this decision. Since you are all sitting here, you won't be easily fooled, right?"

Their research institute no longer holds the same power as before. They made mistakes and failed to give the public an explanation, so the base treats them with less respect than it used to.

To the current base, they are merely tools for developing zombie viruses, and have no human rights whatsoever.

“Academician Rong has been saying that he can develop a drug to resist the zombie virus, but several months have passed and there has been no progress. How can we believe him?” Zhu Heping said with a serious expression. “Seven days. If we still can’t develop something useful in seven days, don’t blame me for disregarding our past relationship.”

This was an ultimatum, and Lu Beichuan naturally understood this. He smiled slightly and said, "Of course I won't let everyone down."

The base gave the research institute a week, and they used up most of the resources. They would no longer tolerate any more empty talk.

The result of the human discussion was transmitted to Meng Xiaoyou's ears via walkie-talkie that afternoon.

Zhou Ziming chattered on and on: [Luo Qingxue asked me to tell you, are you even capable? If this keeps dragging on, when will you ever get revenge for her teacher?]

Meng Xiaoyou pressed the button to reply: 【I've been busy planting vegetables lately, almost there! Listen to me, you guys…】

The two of them whispered to each other, and even though the other side couldn't see them, Meng Xiaoyou was gesturing with her hands to indicate this and that.

Zhou Ziming remained silent for a long time.

I feel like I'm a spy.

How did a lieutenant like him fall to such a state?

Meng Xiaoyou comforted her: "Don't worry, we won't harm the base. After we deal with that old man, we humans and zombies will be a loving family."

What the heck is a mushroom?

Okay, forget about those details, get back to work.

After putting away the walkie-talkie, Meng Xiaoyou squatted down to tend to her little cabbage. From a distance, she saw several figures rushing over.

Tang Shengnan, panting, said, "No, when are you and your boyfriend going to make up? I can't stand this gloomy atmosphere anymore. He freezes everything he does. I just choked on some shit."

The lame zombie chewed on the ice cubes, saying, "Yes... if you eat too much, it'll get greasy."

Sheng Jingxing sat cross-legged in mid-air, propping his chin up, and said with a smile, "I really want to rebel! Why is everything being handed over to me? Is he the boss or am I the boss? Managing so many zombies is really annoying for me."

There is some kind of connection between zombies. High-level zombies can control low-level zombies. However, apart from Pei Sinian, who was born with this ability, other zombies have to expend a certain amount of energy to control other zombies. Now, there are too many zombies gathered in Gong County. Pei Sinian has given up and handed over all the work to these poor high-level zombies.

The little zombie sobbed, "Mom, Dad glared at me again just now, and he brought me several books, from pinyin to Chinese, ancient poems, and I have to memorize them all. Why do zombies have to learn human knowledge? Let's elope and not live with him anymore."

Tang Shengnan glanced at him upon hearing this and said, "I think you need to learn this."

Meng Xiaoyou was very worried: "Do you think I want to live like this? He also gave me a bunch of books, but I can't understand them at all."

The little zombie asked, "What do you want to learn?"

Meng Xiaoyou: "Human and animal physiology".

"Cough cough~" Tang Shengnan coughed suddenly: "Oh well, learn if you want, there's no end to learning, you'll suffer if you're uneducated, the problem now is when are you going to make up with him? Didn't you see his resentful face? Even a vengeful ghost would run away."

Meng Xiaoyou picked up a twig and poked at the ants, then snorted, "No, unless he's coaxing me."

In the past, when the two of them quarreled, Pei Sinian would always coax her, but this time he not only didn't coax her, he also ignored her.

She thought Pei Sinian turned into ice to lull the mushroom to sleep last time, but she was sleeping soundly, so he removed the ice.

What's the weather like now?

In this sweltering heat, don't mushrooms need to avoid the heat?

She looked down and poked around, "Besides, I need to improve my superpowers. Lately, I don't know why, no matter how I communicate with zombies, I can't improve my superpowers."

Tang Shengnan also knew something about Meng Xiaoyou's ability enhancement method. She pondered, "She may have hit a bottleneck. Just like in cultivation novels, it gets harder to advance as you progress. You're almost at level nine, right? Ordinary zombies might not be enough for you. Have you considered finding a high-level zombie?"

She was implying wildly that no high-level zombie could surpass Pei Sinian!

Although Tang Shengnan didn't like Pei Sinian competing with her for Xiaopiao, she couldn't stand the couple arguing. Playing around is fine, but she didn't want the two of them to actually break up.

Meng Xiaoyou's eyes lit up when she heard this. "That's right. I've always been looking for zombies below level three. I should be using high-level zombies."

Tang Shengnan nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, go find..." Pei Sinian.

Before she could finish speaking, the mushroom gave the little zombie a bubble, then poked its shoe with a twig: "What's your wish? What do you want to do?"

The little zombie was true to his word: "Mom, let's elope."

Tang Shengnan: "..."

The zombies: "..."

The two pairs of identical big, bright eyes looked at each other, and Meng Xiaoyou grabbed the little zombie's hand and ran.

"Let's go, let's elope."

Without saying a word, they left Gong County, and Tang Shengnan was taken along: "I can't drive, Sister Tang, please drive for me, let's elope together."

The lame zombie and Sheng Jingxing exchanged a glance and then joined the eloping group.

Haha, since we can't stay in this house anymore, let's leave together.

The team, in excellent spirits, set off in perfect unison. When Pei Sinian finished preparing lunch with a cold expression, he discovered that Little Mushroom, who spent his days hanging out with other zombies, had not returned home.

He summoned a zombie to inquire, and it turned out that the group of creatures had left that afternoon without a trace.

He was left all alone, an empty-nest old corpse.

He stood there in silence for a while, then walked out with a cold expression.

At midnight, the diverse vehicle was blocked by a horde of zombies.

--

When the female zombie returned from her wanderings outside, she saw that her three kin had been frozen into ice sculptures by the Great Demon King and were standing guard at the door. Tang Shengnan was locked in a room, and the entire Gong County was reshuffled.

She raised an eyebrow, whistled, and walked confidently past the lame zombie, the little zombie, and Sheng Jingxing, covering her mouth and chuckling, "A rabble. Luckily, I didn't join you."

The zombies: "..."

Meng Xiaoyou, on the other hand, was grabbed by the scruff of her neck and dragged back to Grey Wolf's castle.

On the way back, the dark forest seemed to open its gaping maws, and the moon was shrouded in dark clouds. It was summer, and the atmosphere was eerie.

She was like a cat being led around on a leash, her legs barely touching the ground, swaying in the wind, completely oblivious to being caught, and brazenly demanding:

"Pei Sinian, let's change positions. It's uncomfortable to be held like this."
