Chapter 721: Chapter 721: She Has a Pair of Zombie Parents (17)

Qiann Yan reached out and pressed down on the head of the young zombie boy beside her, whispering, "Show them your true face, I can protect you."

"Otherwise, they’ll keep pestering us, and that’s a hassle."

The boy hesitated a little, was this little girl crazy?

However, at this moment, he could only choose to believe her, nodding stiffly. Having escaped from that place, his chances of continuing to exist were slim to none.

He didn’t want to attack humans and, in the face of human attacks, all he could do was dodge and escape.

Actually, as a zombie, he also had some instinctive reactions that belonged to zombies. He was afraid that once he actually started attacking humans, it would spiral out of control, and he would become like an ordinary zombie, instinctively gnawing at humans, eating human flesh.

This wasn’t the outcome he wanted, nor was it what his parents wanted to see.

He hadn’t yet fulfilled his parents’ dying wish; in any way possible, he must stay alive.

Now, he chose to trust this cool-looking little girl.

The zombie boy loosened his grip on the bag, took off his hat, and peeked outside, his zombie appearance indeed shocking Zhou Shuo and the others.

Tangled hair floated on his face, slightly covering his eyes, but his bluish-white skin proved he wasn’t a normal person. On his exposed arm, there was still a wound.

Even if the boy was handsome, he was still a zombie.

Zhou Shuo and the others instantly retreated several steps, thinking Qiann Yan was crazy to bring a zombie along.

Jiang Shuqi covered her mouth and exclaimed, "He’s a zombie!!"

"How can you bring a zombie into the car?" Jiang Shuqi was very worried and also very angry, "You should use your superpower to kill him, break open his head, and extract the crystal core, so he would be completely dead and not pose a danger to human beings."

Qiann Yan pushed the boy back in, covered him with his hat again, and patted his shoulder, "I said I would protect you, and I will. Don’t be afraid, whoever wants to kill you, I’ll kill them."

The zombie boy lifted his head. If emotions could be discerned from his eyes, he would surely be confused at this moment.

Why wasn’t she afraid of zombies?

She actually said such words, which would sound absurd and make people think she was mad.

Of course, Qiann Yan had her reasons for speaking this way; the original owner’s memories contained information about this boy, but unfortunately, humans were too repulsed by zombies.

Originally, there was a chance for the apocalypse to end early, but because of human fear of zombies, they forfeited the opportunity.

They killed this zombie boy who was crucial to critical research, and when they finally found those experimental reports, who knows if they regretted it.

This young zombie was very likely the key to ending the apocalypse, which was quite interesting to think about.

No matter if he later changed his initial intention, she would still choose to keep him by her side. With one more intelligent zombie like this, her zombie parents might not feel so lonely.

With an interest in him, even a desire to care for him, her mind wouldn’t wander.

The boy had no idea that the little girl’s ultimate goal was so her parents wouldn’t get lost in thoughts.

He was completely moved by Qiann Yan’s words of protection, but unfortunately, he had no tears, his eyes only had whites, unable to show an expression of gratitude, and his eyes couldn’t turn red.

He could only stare at Qiann Yan with his dead-fish-like eye; anyone not used to it would probably be startled.

"Dongzi, start the car."

"Okay, boss lady."

Zhou Shuo and the others didn’t come closer again, but their voices reached Qiann Yan’s ears.

Zhou Shuo: "It’s a zombie, she’s crazy."

"She’s indeed crazy. If they get scratched by the zombie, they’ll be infected. They’re mad, just mad; they’re bound to run into danger this way." Jiang Shuqi couldn’t accept this situation.

Niu Quan shrugged: "Now what? That’s a zombie, and the data can’t be brought back to the base."

"Follow them. If they turn into zombies, we can eliminate them early on." Zhou Shuo said after some thought.

Gao Ru said nothing, merely staring at the large truck for a few seconds before finally averting her gaze.

Zombies with intelligence aren’t really that frightening, are they?
