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

Zhou Ziming actually switched sides at the last minute and teamed up with the zombies to fight against their own kind. He's utterly shameless!

Does he deserve his military rank?

Traitor! You inhuman bastard! You son of a bitch!

Sun Yingbo cursed Zhou Ziming's ancestors' graves in his mind. What shocked him even more was that the high-level zombie actually listened to Zhou Ziming and attacked wherever he was told.

One by one, humans were controlled by high-level zombies. Sun Yingbo could only watch helplessly as his dog colleague, who had changed his usual behavior, stood "incredibly delicate" beside a female zombie, saying something with a flirtatious expression on his face.

The female zombie was beautiful, with fair skin and an unusual wildness in her eyes, suggesting she held a high position in the zombie horde.

Sun Yingbo wanted to call for others to attack the female zombie and Zhou Ziming, but he was horrified to find that he could not make a sound.

He was like a puppet on a string, forced to watch helplessly as his fellow humans colluded with zombies to harm and kill humanity.

With the high-level humans under control, the battlefield became much easier. The level three and four lowly zombies were no match for them. There were many level five humans, and they even had firearms. However, the moment the bullets were fired, they seemed to encounter resistance in the air, all of them hovering in mid-air before falling to the ground with a thud.

Sheng Jingxing floated cross-legged, grinning at everyone, and said, "If you're going to fight, use your superpowers! Don't cheat!"

"You zombie dogs, whoever is stronger wins. Humans are smarter than you and have weapons, so how can that be considered cheating? If you're so capable, why don't you use a gun too!"

"Alright." The male zombie shrugged helplessly, flicked his finger, and the gun that the human who had just argued with him flew out of his hand and floated into his hand in an instant. The zombie rested his chin on one hand and twirled the gun with the other. "Coincidentally, I have plenty of skills that I have nowhere to vent, so why don't I start with you?"

He raised his gun, pointed it at the human, and mouthed a vicious gesture: Bang—

The man was terrified and fled for his life like a horse running wild in the mountains.

"Hehe~" Sheng Jingxing twirled the gun, clicked his tongue and shook his head, "So easily scared!"

"Childish!" A disdainful human voice rang in her ears. Sheng Jingxing raised an eyebrow, and this time, pointed a finger at her: "Bang!"

Tang Shengnan was furious and slapped his hand away. "Let me down here and wreak havoc!"

"Save your breath. We can't kill these humans. Go check if that little brat has rested well. If it hasn't recovered its energy, try to stall it further."

However, the little zombies were overexerted and couldn't sustain the next area, which gave Sheng Jingxing a headache. He couldn't kill them, as these humans were like fleas, difficult to deal with.

Just as Sheng Jingxing was frowning in worry, the sky darkened. He thought it was the little zombie's doing, but when he looked up, he found it was a thick fog.

At the same time, a faint, rustling sound came from the ground, and something broke out of the earth.

--

"It's filthy, disgusting, are you two just going to stand by and watch?"

Luo Qingxue grumbled and smacked her teeth as she picked through the test subjects. The once dignified young lady of the Luo family had turned ashen-faced.

The other two, who were not human, were enjoying themselves at the door.

Meng Xiaoyou hid behind Pei Sinian, peeking out with her big eyes full of curiosity: "Why are you working so hard?"

Luo Qingxue rolled her eyes in annoyance. "Nonsense, didn't you hear what that man said? He wanted us to dispose of the dead bodies and keep the living ones for further experiments."

In the end, only she, a great victim, buried herself in hard work.

She thought that saying those words would awaken the conscience of that despicable couple, but the spoiled brat was even more confused.

"But we're here to assassinate Academician Rong, not to do his work!"

The mushroom's tiny head was filled with bewilderment; the tuft of hair on its head curled slightly into a question mark, unable to comprehend the perplexing behavior of humans.

Luo Qingxue: "..."

Her silence was as deafening as the wreckage scattered throughout the room.

After a long pause, she took a deep breath and said, "I think you're right, you're really smart."

Meng Xiaoyou was astonished that Luo Qingxue had appeared out of nowhere. She tugged at Pei Sinian's sleeve, her eyes wide, and asked, "Did you praise me, little gossip?"

Pei Sinian ruffled her ahoge (cowlick) and straightened the strand of hair before saying, "Hmm."

"Is she mocking me? Can you listen and see if she's making any veiled criticisms?" Little Mushroom was still worried and looked at Luo Qingxue hesitantly.

Before Pei Sinian could even speak, Luo Qingxue had already exploded.

"You have the petty mind of a villain!"

Meng Xiaoyou also got angry: "See, I knew you were mocking me, and now you're openly insulting me!"

"you……"

Seeing the two newbies about to peck at each other, Pei Sinian said calmly, "Shut up!"

Meng Xiaoyou and Luo Qingxue immediately became obedient.

Meng Xiaoyou thought to herself, "That stinky zombie yelled at me. We'll sleep in separate beds tonight, and I won't let him hug me."

She even tried to pull her mushroom-shaped claws back, but halfway back, the man's cold hand grabbed hers. "I wasn't talking about you."

Luo Qingxue on the other side: "???"

Ugh! You despicable couple!

The laboratory was quiet for a short while when Pei Sinian's ears twitched. Slow footsteps approached from afar, and the person outside the door put their hand on the handle, unlocked it with their fingerprint, and with a click, the password door slowly opened.

I spotted the group of people waiting inside the door at a glance.

The other person's breath hitched. "Pei Sinian?"

Pei Sinian also saw him, a cold smile playing on his lips. With a flick of his finger, Lu Beichuan instantly pressed the alarm button.

The next second, he was frozen solid, with only his head exposed. His usual fake smile was gone, and he looked shocked: "Pei Sinian? What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in Gong County?"

They went to great lengths, sparing no effort, even using unfinished, failed attempts, all to capture Pei Sinian alive.

As a result, Pei Sinian appeared in the base in a grand manner. So, what was the point of the humans who were sent out earlier?

Should we deliver food to zombies?

His face was grim, even darker than Luo Qingxue's. The red warning light on the ceiling was still ringing, and a thick white mist enveloped the room from all directions.

Having learned from her previous experience, Meng Xiaoyou enveloped the three people with two enormous purple bubbles the moment the warning device went off.

Luo Qingxue had her own bubble, while she took a small step and hung on Pei Sinian, sharing a bubble with him.

She gestured, "I'm going to tie you to my belt."

Anyway, no one can separate her from Pei Sinian if there is any danger. What if Pei Sinian is careless and accidentally hurts Mushroom like last time?

Pei Sinian took the initiative to put his arm around her waist, pulling her closer, and softly replied, "Okay."

This time, even if he dies, he won't let the mushroom get hurt...
