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

Under Pei Sinian's gaze, Zhang Jian swallowed hard, then saw what Tang Shengnan handed him.

Seeing that it was just a few packets of bread, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.

These are all they have to offer; they must not have much ability.

He pointed to the tents not far away.

"Everyone who comes here has to wait inside for two hours to make sure they won't turn into zombies before registering and entering the base."

This is also to prevent zombies from infiltrating the base.

Pei Sinian nodded, then casually pulled Meng Xiaoyou along and walked in the direction he pointed.

At the base entrance, there are large tents on both sides that can accommodate dozens of people. If zombies arrive during this time, the base will quickly deal with them if there are only a few. If they are surrounded by a horde of zombies, these people will be the first to be attacked, while the people in the base will be much safer hiding inside the base.

However, there was no other way. For ordinary people without any abilities, survival in this apocalypse was already difficult enough. If they wanted to seek the protection of the strong, they could only bring their meager resources and gamble on their luck. If they were lucky, the zombies wouldn't come, their supplies would be enough to hand over, and they could safely enter the base.

Meng Xiaoyou and the others entered the tent.

This was the first time Mushroom had seen so many people, so she was a little reserved and curious, and secretly peeked at them.

The tents were set up haphazardly, and it was already quite good that they could provide shelter from the wind and rain. Some people sat on the ground inside, while others stood leaning against something.

Their clothes were tattered and disheveled, their bodies were emaciated, their faces were sallow with sunken cheeks, and their eyes were tired and filled with fear of their surroundings.

Yes, it's fear.

This place is like an oversight room. Before the results are in, anyone present could turn into a zombie. They must remain vigilant at all times, their minds like taut strings, ready to be plucked at the slightest provocation.

A closer look at the number of people revealed that most were adults, while a few elderly people and children huddled in a corner, too afraid to utter a sound.

Upon entering the tent, a strong smell of sweat assaulted his nostrils. Pei Sinian frowned, his cold gaze sweeping over everyone present, his lips pursed in suppressed anger.

Beneath his calm exterior lies a desire to throw everyone present into the water and wash them clean.

Reason told him to stay calm.

These humans may be fragile, but they are quite shrewd. Unlike Meng Xiaoyou, who spent so much time with him without realizing he was a zombie.

Any slightly overt action could easily arouse their suspicion.

Without making a sound, Pei Sinian took Meng Xiaoyou's hand and pulled her slender body closer. The sweet scent that used to whet his appetite at any time had a calming effect at this moment.

However, Pei Sinian was unaware that their aura and appearance were not to be underestimated.

They were already being watched the moment they entered.

In an era of moral decay, without the constraints of law, ambition and desire continue to grow, and malice is unleashed without reservation.

In this situation, the vulnerable, the elderly, women, and children become their targets.

Tang Shengnan was alright, with a volatile and unapproachable demeanor, while Meng Xiaoyou instantly caught their attention.

Mushroom was sensitive to the ill intentions of outsiders. Following the gaze, she saw a tall, thin man in his thirties looking at her with red eyes, his gaze sticky and disgusting.

When she looked over, the man's gaze became even more blatant.

He looked Meng Xiaoyou up and down with his eyes, his hand unconsciously moving down and nudging his hip.

Meng Xiaoyou didn't understand what he meant, but she had seen that look in the eyes of a man named Hou San in the factory. Hou San's behavior was filthy, and he even cursed mushrooms.

Although the man didn't say anything, Little Mushroom felt that he was also cursing Mushroom.

The timid mushroom was spoiled by Pei Sinian, and its courage grew.

She couldn't contain her anger and was about to secretly use her supernatural bubble to float over and teach the man a lesson when she saw two icicles pierce the man's eyes with lightning speed.

A scream startled everyone, and the man covered his eyes in horror.

His face was contorted in agony as he writhed on the ground, blood gushing from between his fingers and pooling on the floor.

The heart-wrenching screams of pain sent chills down one's spine.

Those around him ran away in panic, and witnesses stared in horror toward the doorway.

The handsome man, dressed in a white shirt, calmly withdrew his hand and pulled the girl beside him into his arms, protecting her under his wings. The cold light reflected behind his gold-rimmed glasses resembled that of a cold-blooded snake flicking its tongue, issuing a dangerous warning.

He's a superhuman?

Before anyone could be shocked, the man who had been lying on the ground suddenly made a creaking sound in his throat, as if a bone spur was stuck there. His whole body convulsed violently, and in a bizarre and twisted posture, he suddenly stood up, his feet touching the ground, and let out a familiar cry.

"Roar—Ho—"

"It's a zombie! Run!"

Someone shouted, and everyone rushed out of the tent. Meng Xiaoyou, who was standing at the door, was protected in Pei Sinian's arms and squeezed out with the flow of people.

The zombies relentlessly pursued the humans, drawn by their scent.

The superhumans at Moonlight Base were prepared and came upon hearing the commotion.

Before they could make a move, a gunshot rang out, the bullet slicing through the air and piercing the zombie's head.

The panicked crowd immediately crouched down, both shocked and frightened.

Meng Xiaoyou had never heard gunshots before. Caught off guard, she instinctively ducked like a plant in the plant kingdom. In her panic, she didn't know where to hide, so she covered her ears, turned around, and buried her head in the man's arms, trying to be like a mushroom half-buried in the ground.

Pei Sinian was caught off guard and embraced her tightly. His nose was filled with her alluring scent. She was only slightly below his shoulder. Her slender body shrank slightly, and her face was pressed tightly against his chest.

"Pei Sinian! It's exploded!"

We're going to fry mushrooms!

Mushroom squeezed his neat shirt until it was crumpled, squeezing it so hard that his knuckles turned slightly white and trembled slightly.

She breathed through her mouth out of fear and nervousness, her full lips trembling slightly, her warm breath reaching his heart.

Through the fabric, Pei Sinian's cold chest skin felt as if it were being burned, and his heart, which shouldn't have been there, beat again and again.

Meng Xiaoyou paused, then subconsciously raised her head, her soft hand covering it...
