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

One zombie spent a sleepless night, keeping its eyes open until dawn.

The carefree Mushroom went to find her Sister Tang early the next morning after washing up, leaving Mr. Zombie all alone, coldly following her.

Meng Xiaoyou recounted the events of the previous night to Tang Shengnan in vivid detail, leaving Tang Shengnan stunned. She munched on a compressed biscuit, asking, "You said the female zombie was a fourth-tier zombie?"

"Yes! She has superpowers."

"Then why did you run away as soon as you saw Pei Sinian?"

"I don't know, maybe they saw there were two people around and it was inconvenient for them to make a move."

"How did she manage to evade the base's search...?"

This is a problem. It seems the female zombie has been in the base for quite some time. With a large flow of people in the base during the day, the female zombie managed to hide until last night before being discovered.

The two girls were having a lively discussion, while Pei Sinian stood behind Meng Xiaoyou, his expression indifferent, his face much paler than usual.

My heart was pounding all night, and the zombies also suppressed their urge to bite. My mental energy isn't very high, and I urgently need to fall into a deep sleep to recover.

only……

Pei Sinian turned his head to look at the back of Meng Xiaoyou's head. Let's wait a little longer.

He needs to sleep for too long; without him, the little fool might encounter that zombie again.

The report from last night took effect; the base reinforced its equipment during the day, and most people now know that the base has gained a fourth-tier zombie.

In these chaotic times, unlike the peaceful era before the apocalypse, major events are not suppressed.

Dongfang Lie told Cui Shiping to tell everyone directly, so that they wouldn't be caught off guard if they encountered a fourth-level zombie.

The fourth-tier zombies in R City hadn't been dealt with yet, and now another fourth-tier one had appeared in the base. Dongfang Lie was in a real bind, and for the time being, he had no chance to bother Meng Xiaoyou and the others.

They conducted their patrols as usual.

The patrols by people with superpowers are on a rotating shift. Yesterday it was Meng Xiaoyou's turn to patrol at night, today it's daytime, and it's Tang Shengnan's turn to patrol at night.

Meng Xiaoyou was worried about Tang Shengnan, and since there wasn't much going on at the base, she went along with him.

Tang Shengnan's teammate was a handsome young man named Jiang Xiaofeng, who was about the same age as Xiao Moqiong. His special ability was that it changed his eyes, making them exceptionally sharp. This also caused him to jump and look twice at the slightest disturbance.

Meng Xiaoyou held the flashlight in a bubble and hugged Tang Shengnan's arm. Jiang Xiaofeng exclaimed, and the mushrooms would bristle, and Tang Shengnan would hit them with a stick.

The large caterpillar on the leaf died a glorious death, and the scene was completely silent.

Jiang Xiaofeng said somewhat embarrassedly, "I saw the leaves moving just now and thought they were zombies."

It turned out to be a false alarm.

Pei Sinian stood behind the group, watching the energetic and spirited young people. He wasn't a sociable person, and the heartless Mushroom wouldn't even think of her.

The man half-closed his eyelids and slowly followed.

With him there, no zombies appeared that night.

Only after the "young people" were exhausted did he go over and carry Meng Xiaoyou, who was yawning from sleep, back to rest.

Tang Shengnan: "...Shouldn't we consider the feelings of single people?"

No one responded to her; the young couple's retreating figures were utterly heartless.

Another half month passed, and the weather grew even colder. Several men at the base turned into zombies one after another, but the female zombie was still not caught. Because of this, Dongfang Lie got very angry and cursed the superhumans as useless.

The crowd dared not speak out in their anger; in reality, they were indeed useless.

The fact that they hadn't even caught a glimpse of the female zombie made people wonder: "Is there a female zombie at all? Those people who turned into zombies must have been infected when they went out. The base is only so big; it's impossible for a zombie to have gone unnoticed for so long."

"Who discovered the female zombie? They're not lying to us, are they?"

"I heard they are two female superpowered individuals..."

"Ha, women are just timid. Could it be that she misread it in the middle of the night, making us go through all this trouble?"

The superhumans who came to the meeting were scolded by Dongfang Lie. They didn't dare to oppose him and had nowhere to vent their anger, so they simply shifted the blame to others.

The crowd erupted in a cacophony of voices, creating a scene as noisy as a bustling market. Dongfang Lie, his head throbbing with pain, slammed his hand on the table. "Get out! All of you get out!!"

The group of superpowered individuals immediately fell silent, fearing they might anger him, and quickly made their way away.

Cui Shiping was left with only the words, "It's just a zombie. There's no need to make a fuss. If it exists, it will eventually be exposed. What are you panicking about?"

Dongfang Lie was like a mad beast that had been chained up; his rage abruptly stopped. He lit a cigarette, sat back down, and said in a hoarse voice, "Have Song Zhen pull him over."

Cui Shiping frowned, said nothing, and went out to send someone to call Song Zhenwan.

Before long, Song Zhenwan walked into the hall. She was dressed in a cool and casual style in the base, wearing a warm yellow knitted tight short skirt that outlined her graceful figure. In the weather that was only twelve or thirteen degrees Celsius, her straight legs were exposed. She walked over with graceful steps, squatted down in front of him skillfully, and placed her hands on his knees.

"Brother Lie~ You haven't contacted me for days..."

She called out softly, but her voice was a little hoarse. It wasn't unpleasant to hear, but it still wasn't quite right.

Dongfang Lie reached out, his fingertips cupping her chin, looking down at her charming face. "Is it my fault for ruining your voice?"

Song Zhenwan was the woman who had swallowed the cigarette butt that day. She shook her head and stared at him blankly.

"No, I'll accept anything you give me..." no matter what it is.

His hands weren't idle either; he unzipped his pants.

"Did you really see a female zombie that day? What were she wearing? What did she look like?" Dongfang Lie withdrew his hand from her chin, leaned back in his chair, a cigarette between his fingers, and squinted his eyes in enjoyment, his gaze never leaving Song Zhenwan's face.

Song Zhenwan paused, "It seems there really were zombies, but I was too scared at the time. I vaguely saw that they were wearing red clothes... and then I fainted."

Useless woman.

Dongfang Lie's eyes darkened, concealing the disdain in them. "When I sent you to be with Meng Xiaoyou, did you find out their relationship? Are they boyfriend and girlfriend?"

Song Zhenwan swallowed silently, a flash of disgust crossing her eyes upon hearing the name, and mumbled, "Yes."

She was only jealous that Meng Xiaoyou had attracted Dongfang Lie's attention, and had no interest in asking any questions.

But isn't their relationship quite obvious?

Meng Xiaoyou looks innocent, but she's actually had boyfriends before. Why would she attract Dongfang Lie's attention?

She's been Brother Lie's woman from beginning to end; what does she lack in terms of looks and figure?

“Worship, dear…”

Just then, a large hand covered the back of her head, and a man's deep, husky, seductive voice said, "You're really beautiful."

Song Zhenwan was stunned for a moment, then a great joy welled up in her heart.

"With your beauty, what man wouldn't be tempted?"

Lost in her joy, Song Zhenwan didn't see the man's eyes turn cold. "Meng Xiaoyou's identity is special, and Su Lanyue and the others will be back soon. I don't have much time left. I need to win over Meng Xiaoyou before they return, so I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you..."

"Brother Lie?"

Song Zhenwan was confused. Before she could look up, the man suddenly grabbed her hair and pressed it down hard.

She heard the man she loved most in her life say, "Use any means necessary to seduce her boyfriend and make them break up, okay?"

Saline solution rolled down her cheeks, and Song Zhenwan gagged, but her head was held down tightly, forcing her to swallow back her silent sobs, leaving only a metallic taste in her throat…
