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

The fog is too thick to drive.

When Meng Xiaoyou and the others got out of the car, they felt as if they were walking on cotton. Looking down, they could only see their own hands, and even their feet were shrouded in gray mist. The air was filled with a faint stench of corpses.

She coughed twice, trying to open her eyes wide to see the road ahead clearly. At some point, all the sounds around her had become quiet, and she could only hear her own footsteps.

At that moment, if something suddenly appears, there's simply no time to react.

Mushroom instinctively grabbed the arm of the man next to her, "Pei Sinian!"

Pei Sinian remained silent, leading her forward with unwavering determination.

Meng Xiaoyou called out to Tang Shengnan a few more times, but the person who was just beside her was now unresponsive.

"How strange, what do you think this fog is?"

Meng Xiaoyou followed closely beside Pei Sinian, afraid of losing him. Time passed slowly, and after walking for an unknown amount of time, Pei Sinian finally stopped and took her hand.

The mushroom tilted its head slightly, looking a little strange.

The two were very close. The man had a face like jade, and his skin was strikingly white even in the misty environment. His hands were the same color.

But the timid mushroom felt that something was wrong. His hands were white as jade and shaped like a sculpture, but they felt a little rough to the touch.

Why aren't you saying anything? I'm a little scared!

In Plants vs. Zombies, sometimes fog rolls in at night, and the fog is very close to the plants. When the zombies come out of the fog, Dave doesn't have time to organize the plants to support them, and he easily falls into the zombies' trap.

In this situation, they rely on streetlights or clover for lighting.

The Timid Mushroom feels extremely insecure in this environment; in Plants vs. Zombies, it would have curled up into a ball and started bubbling away long ago.

However, now, as a timid mushroom who has "evolved" and "emboldened," she mustered her courage and patted Pei Sinian's hand, "Are you too scared to speak?"

"It can't be that bad. Even when surrounded by hordes of zombies before, Meng Xiaoyou had never seen Pei Sinian show any fear." She was a little worried, but the next second, Pei Sinian made a further move. He suddenly lowered his head, his handsome face growing larger in Meng Xiaoyou's vision.

Meng Xiaoyou couldn't help but widen her eyes, "What...what are you going to do?"

The man remained silent, then lowered his head as if to kiss her.

For some reason, Meng Xiaoyou instinctively felt disgusted and splashed a string of bubbles onto the man's face.

Through the hazy bubbles, Meng Xiaoyou vaguely saw the man's face contort for a moment. Shocked, she pushed Pei Sinian away and was caught off guard by hearing his innermost thoughts.

【what? ! 】

Come here, I am him, we are the same, let me have your love...

Why, why does it have to be cheating? Why does nobody love me?!

Meng Xiaoyou shook her head repeatedly, "You...you are not him."

No, I am him! He loved you so much... and so did I, but why did you cheat on me!

Meng Xiaoyou: "???"

Damn it, as her powers continued to be consumed and the bubbles multiplied, squeezing out the surrounding mist, the man's face finally changed.

His jade-like pale skin had turned bluish-gray, and his features were still quite defined, but his fangs protruded due to his madness, and he stared straight at Meng Xiaoyou.

It is a high-level zombie with superpowers whose rank is unreadable.

At that moment, his heart stopped.

"Where did you take Pei Sinian?" Meng Xiaoyou asked anxiously after her initial fear.

She's such a big Pei Sinian.

The zombie stubbornly refused to admit it, its eyes drooping, lost in its own world.

I am...

Mushroom was both anxious and furious, wishing she could grab the zombie by the collar and shake Pei Sinian off it, but when she saw his tattered, dirty clothes, dry hair, and bluish-gray hands...

It's so dirty, I can't bring myself to touch it.

"That's bullshit!" Mushroom swore, pulled out her shovel from her spatial storage, her eyes red and fuming, and shoveled at him without saying a word.

The tip of the shovel pierced the zombie's chest, and his body turned into mist. After dissipating, it reformed into a human shape and stood not far from Meng Xiaoyou, his eyes empty and vacant. "Roar!"

His identity had been discovered, and he could no longer pretend to be a zombie. He sadly discussed the matter with Meng Xiaoyou.

Can I pretend to be him? I can treat you like my lover, just like he does.

Listen to this nonsense.

Meng Xiaoyou trembled with anger, her pretty face flushed red. "You're talking nonsense. I'm not his lover, and you could never be him."

How can mushrooms fall in love with humans?

Moreover, Pei Sinian doesn't seem to like purple mushrooms.

Her thoughts raced, and she gripped the shovel tightly. "If you keep thinking like that, I'll slap you!"

The zombie was surprised that this soft, smelly human was so bold, and it became stubborn as well.

[Go ahead and draw!]

"Let's see if I dare to smoke it. Give it back to me."

Danger lurks every second in the fog. Meng Xiaoyou has no idea what the fog is all about. Will Pei Sinian also encounter vicious zombies like her?

What if a zombie transforms into her appearance and tries to harm Pei Sinian?

Meng Xiaoyou's hands were still trembling, but she mustered her courage and decided to take the plunge.

With the same ferocity as digging a pit to bury people, he went to draw the zombie. Every time he drew it, its body would turn into gray mist. What was even more hateful was that it turned into Pei Sinian's face to fool the mushroom.

She shoveled at it for ages, but couldn't hit a certain zombie. She was panting heavily as she leaned on the shovel handle, and the zombie came closer again, looking rather cheeky.

"Sigh~ My ability is to become mist, you can't catch me."

Meng Xiaoyou's gaze sharpened, and she used the same trick again, mobilizing her superpower to send bubbles around the atomized zombie. Through the refraction of light by the bubbles, she discovered traces of the zombie in another place in the opposite direction.

Damn, the fogging is so cunning!

The zombies' abilities are indeed related to the fog, and their ability to transform into Pei Sinian's appearance is all an illusion.

It works on the same principle as a mirage.

The principle behind mirages is the refraction of light, which is inseparable from the moisture in the air.

The zombie's ability to create fog, with ample moisture in the air, allows it to refract the imagery it desires with a little effort.

It projected Pei Sinian's appearance onto itself, creating the visual effect for Meng Xiaoyou that it had become Pei Sinian.

Pei Sinian might be in the vicinity...

In that instant, the mushroom's brain was working at high speed, frantically digging into the knowledge hidden in the original owner's mind, causing a dull ache in its head.

But she couldn't care less about all that.

She stared intently at the "location" of the zombies. The bubbles surrounding the zombies were indeed an illusion; the real zombies were behind her.

Her heart pounded with tension. She seemed about to attack the "zombie," but then she turned her shovel around and attacked behind her.

It felt like I bumped into something, and my wrist was suddenly gripped by cold fingertips.

His back bumped against a cold, hard chest, and the entire mushroom was enveloped in a chilling aura...
