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

"What are you two doing?"

A voice broke the standoff in the hallway. Tang Shengnan had just returned from outside when she saw this scene.

The man was tall and, taking advantage of his height, pressed the pretty young girl against the door and kissed her.

When the man turned around, Tang Shengnan realized she had misread it. They weren't kissing; they were just very close, and from her angle, it looked like Pei Sinian was pinning Xiao Piao Piao down and kissing her. However, their current position was the legendary "wall slam," trapping Xiao Piao Piao between his arms and the door panel.

Little Pretty, on the other hand, looked weak, pitiful, and helpless, as if she had been bullied.

Oh my!

Tang Shengnan quickly leaned closer, her heart trembling, "Although I don't want to interrupt your intimate moments as a couple, are you even a man? Look at the state you've left in!"

No one knows what Pei Sinian did, but the timid mushroom hugged two small flowerpots, pouting pitifully, her big eyes wet, the corners of her eyes red, and water droplets clinging to her eyelashes as if they might fall at any moment.

But the man was heartless, his face expressionless, cold and indifferent. Sometimes Tang Shengnan wanted to ask: Have you ever quit drugs? How can you remain unmoved by a pretty girl?

"Sister Tang!"

Meanwhile, Meng Xiaoyou, upon seeing Tang Shengnan, seemed to have found her pillar of support. She struggled to push the man away, but couldn't budge him. So she simply crawled out from under his arm and rushed to Tang Shengnan's side, introducing him to Pei Sinian: "My newly adopted human!"

Fresh, warm humans!

Pei Sinian moved his eyes, his death stare interrupting Tang Shengnan's private moment.

He suddenly realized that not killing the woman last night was a mistake.

Tang Shengnan is usually carefree and a bit irritable, but for some reason, she gets a little uneasy when she meets Pei Sinian.

She coughed lightly, stopped teasing the young couple, and suddenly became serious: "Have you heard? Last night, Dong Shisan and Liang Yong died. They were only discovered this morning. I just went downstairs for some fresh air and heard them say that they died a terrible death."

She paused, then explained to Pei Sinian, "Yesterday we went out and encountered some troublemakers, but we were stopped by Dongfang Lie, who is also the creator of the base. I didn't expect that the two troublemakers would die today."

Pei Sinian nodded in response to her, a rare occurrence for him.

Meng Xiaoyou carefully put away the mushrooms to prevent the man from using them as mushroom food. She tugged at Tang Shengnan's sleeve, her eyes still a little red, and her voice slightly nasal, "How did you die?"

Tang Shengnan immediately added in a low voice: "Speaking of this... it seems that Dong Shisan somehow turned into a zombie. He was close to Liang Yong... maybe he was at Liang Yong's house when he turned into a zombie, so he bit Liang Yong."

Normally, being bitten by a zombie doesn't immediately turn you into a zombie. However, out of his survival instinct, Liang Yong had a violent collision with the zombie Dong after being bitten.

The thunder yesterday was so loud that it drowned out the sounds of the fight, so the neighbors didn't come out to help.

Tang Shengnan was still shaken: "Luckily, he didn't turn into a zombie when we fought yesterday."

Otherwise, she might not have had time to prepare and would have fallen into their trap.

As the two girls were talking, footsteps came from downstairs, growing louder as a group of people walked up.

Mushroom's memory wasn't great, but it wasn't too bad either. She remembered that the person leading the team had taken them to see Dongfang Lie yesterday.

Cui Shiping.

When Cui Shiping saw them standing at the door, he smiled and said, "Ladies, Dongfang wants to see you."

Tang Shengnan frowned: "What is it now?"

Cui Shiping avoided answering, saying, "Please come with me."

After all, they were the owners of the base, and on their territory, they couldn't refuse. Meng Xiaoyou and Tang Shengnan had no choice but to agree. Pei Sinian had only taken two steps when he was stopped by the men sent by Cui Shiping.

"Sir, Brother Lie only invited two ladies."

A hint of annoyance flashed in Pei Sinian's eyes, especially when he saw that heartless brat leave without even glancing at him.

He ignored them and insisted on leaving. But those people were no pushovers either; they were all ability users of similar level to Dong Shisan and his group, and they blocked his way again...

On the other side, after going downstairs, Meng Xiaoyou looked back curiously and asked, "Why didn't you bring Pei Sinian?"

Cui Shiping said, "Dongfang only invited you; he doesn't like being disturbed by other unimportant people."

"What insignificant people..." Meng Xiaoyou was a little unhappy. They were together, and even if she stopped supporting them, they were still friends.

They only invited them, but not her friends...

The timid mushroom couldn't quite articulate her emotions, and finally said, "Then I won't go."

Cui Shiping looked troubled: "Dongfang is only doing this for your own good. You should have heard that zombies appeared in the base last night. We're taking this very seriously and are worried that you two girls might get into trouble..."

"There are so many girls in the base, let him worry about others." Meng Xiaoyou said bluntly, and went upstairs. As a result, something rolled down the stairs, startling her. She quickly grabbed the handrail and dodged the attack.

Only after the screams subsided did she belatedly look down.

The several superhumans who had come with Cui Shiping were lying on the bottom step in a human pyramid formation, their faces bruised and swollen, their expressions contorted and terrifying from the pain.

Pei Sinian, whom she was worried about, walked down gracefully and calmly, slowly took off his gloves, cleaned them with his water-based supernatural abilities, and then put them away.

He probably didn't expect Meng Xiaoyou to come back. When he saw her holding onto the stair railing, he paused for a moment, then strode down to her.

Meng Xiaoyou mechanically looked down at the superhumans stacked on top of each other, then looked up at the possible culprit.

Although the man was tall, he was still far inferior to the superhuman, gorilla-like muscles.

In the mind of Timid Mushroom, men have transformed from sickly humans who needed careful nurturing into powerful humans with formidable fighting abilities.

He could crush ten mushrooms with one hand...

Mushroom was timid and said dejectedly, "Why are you looking at me like that... You don't want to hit me, do you?"

I am grateful for your mercy in sparing my life.

I'm also grateful that I didn't offend him too much before...

Otherwise, she would have been squashed into a mushroom pancake by now.

Pei Sinian lowered his eyes, and the silly, timid little boy's appearance came into view, causing his heart to skip a beat again.

Originally, he just wanted to find her and teach her a lesson... But lately, the little fool has become bolder, and it's rare to see her act cowardly, so Pei Sinian changed his mind.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the two people chasing after him downstairs. Without making a sound, the man took Meng Xiaoyou's trembling hand and wrote a few words on her palm.

Meng Xiaoyou's eyes widened suddenly, still somewhat bewildered, "Call me..."

Why would you call someone "brother" out of the blue?

Before she could figure it out, the man poked her with his fingertip. His narrow, world-weary eyes behind his glasses narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of danger, silently urging her to hurry up.

He even raised his chin, gesturing for Meng Xiaoyou to look at the miserable state of the people at the bottom of the stairs.
