Chapter 2168: Mr. Zombie (27)

Chapter 2168: Chapter 2168: Mr. Zombie (27)

The people in Captain Xia’s team had no idea what they were talking about, scratching their hearts and livers with curiosity over the whole process.

But there were too many zombies; no one dared to go over.

They could only watch from afar.

Jin Ling was also in the convoy, but at this point she didn’t even have the freedom to get out of the car, and could only look over there through the window.

The little girl who brought zombies and could still negotiate with Xia Li was no longer anything like the person in her memories.

She was just casually sitting there, yet it was as if she sat on a throne, exuding a kind of domineering air that looked down on all under heaven.

They had clearly been the same kind of person, but at some point, everything had changed.

Why let her know all that, yet not give her a chance to change?

Why could she make zombies obey?

Why...

Too many "whys" circled in Jin Ling’s mind, and not a single one had an answer.

Jin Ling was unwilling to accept it, resentment in her heart sprouting like wild grass.

Yet at this moment, besides watching, there was nothing she could do.

She could barely even protect herself now.

The people over there had finished talking, and Xia Li returned to the convoy.

"Captain Xia, what’s going on?"

"Captain Xia, can that woman really control zombies?"

"Captain Xia??"

"What does she want to do? With those zombies surrounding us, can we even get out?"

Everyone wanted answers and kept firing questions at Xia Li.

Xia Li was still a bit dazed, feeling like he’d just heard fake news.

She said she was willing to escort them to their destination.

With zombies in tow...

No real motive, she just wanted to be a good person.

Too many people were asking, so Captain Xia had no choice but to tell everyone the truth.

"Escort us?"

"What is she really up to?"

"So this means she really can control those zombies? How does she do it? Does that mean we won’t have to be afraid of zombies anymore?"

"If she escorts us with zombies, wouldn’t that make us really safe?"

"Safe my ass. Do you know what she’s planning? Those are zombies. If anything goes wrong, we’re all dead!"

Xia Li told everyone to quiet down.

After all, he was the captain of the whole convoy and had weapons; no one dared say anything more.

Xia Li said the other side wasn’t negotiating with them—they had no right to refuse.

Looking at the horde of zombies outside, they all understood even more that they had no right to refuse.

Everyone looked at each other, the atmosphere in the convoy turning strange.

-

Since Xia Li couldn’t say no, Chuzheng followed behind them with her zombies, and it really did look a bit like an escort.

As time went by, everyone just found it amazing.

There really was someone who could control zombies.

They started asking around about how to control zombies.

Killing zombies only solved the problem in front of you, but controlling zombies was different.

If they could master this skill, they wouldn’t have to be afraid in the future.

But this skill wasn’t something you could figure out that easily—or maybe it was too simple, and that’s exactly why this group couldn’t think of it.

Sometimes people just overthink things.

The convoy moved and stopped, and they still had to look for supplies from time to time. Most of the time, Chuzheng was curled up in the RV, too lazy to get out.

"Bei Chi." Chuzheng scooped up the Mr. Zombie squatting in the corner.

Mr. Zombie’s icy body pressed against Chuzheng, bringing a bit of coolness.

"Ho ho..."

Bei Chi let out two low growls, no one knew what he meant.

Chuzheng settled the two of them in place and smoothed his hair. "Let’s check your wound."

Bei Chi tilted his head, as if he understood. His fingers hooked his clothes, and he lifted them up on his own.

The wound that had been healing slowly had already scabbed over by now, with a bit of tender pink flesh grown in.

Chuzheng poked it with her fingertip; Bei Chi didn’t really feel anything and also reached out to poke along.

Chuzheng grabbed his hand at once. "Don’t just touch it."

Bei Chi: "!!!" Aren’t you touching it too? Besides, this is my body.

Mm... body?

Chuzheng confirmed there was no need to bandage it again and pulled his clothes down. "What are you staring at me for, want to bite me?" Good intentions get no thanks; I check your wound and you look at me like this!

Chuzheng held out her hand and waved it in front of him.

Mr. Zombie’s expression turned fierce, and he quickly clamped down on Chuzheng’s wrist.

"..."

Even without Chuzheng saying anything, Bei Chi didn’t dare use much force.

In the end, it turned into a little dog gnawing on a bone.

Chuzheng: "..."

Her wrist was all wet and sticky; it really didn’t feel great.

What is wrong with this Good Person Card, isn’t this gross!

"Tell me, like this, can you still be a normal person?"

Taking advantage of the fact that the Good Person Card didn’t understand anything, Chuzheng started speaking freely.

"Ho ho ho?" What’s a normal person? Is he not normal now?

Chuzheng rubbed his head. "This is fine too; at least you won’t make trouble."

Raising a son was way easier than raising an ancestor.

"Ho ho ho!!"

Mr. Zombie didn’t really get it, but he felt like whatever Chuzheng said wasn’t anything good.

But Chuzheng had no idea what he was "ho ho"-ing about.

The two of them, you talk your talk, I ho my ho, and the scene was actually kind of harmonious.

Chuzheng tried to pull her hand back, when Bei Chi suddenly flipped over and knelt on top of her.

Chuzheng: "??" What are you doing? Can you even?

Chuzheng glanced down toward Bei Chi’s lower half.

Bei Chi was just hungry and wanted to eat, that was all.

He didn’t have any of those indescribable, easily 404’d thoughts Chuzheng had.

He was a pure zombie.

Knock knock—

"Big Boss."

Chuzheng glanced over at the door, wanting to push away Bei Chi, who treated her like food, but the little friend Bei Chi was very stubborn, his limbs practically wrapped around her.

"Big Boss??"

Chuzheng pushed him away a little; Bei Chi let out a dissatisfied ho, and Chuzheng pressed his head into the crook of her neck.

She exhaled lightly and kept her breathing steady. "What is it?"

"That Captain Xia sent someone to say they’re going to the city ahead to look for supplies."

"Mm." Then go, why tell me?

Bei Chi sniffed around her neck, his cold breath spilling over her skin, and Chuzheng hugged the person in her arms a little tighter.

"We want to go take a look too." Their own convoy didn’t have much in the way of supplies either.

"Oh."

"Big Boss, are you coming with us?" That was the real goal.

With the Big Boss around, they practically didn’t have to worry about running into zombies.

"No..."

After being turned down by Chuzheng, the person outside was clearly disappointed, but didn’t dare ask again.

"Then if we go, and Xiaoyu and Xiao Gong stay behind, Big Boss, you’re okay with that, right?"

"No problem."

"Then we’re off..." Zhi Kai scratched his head. Why did the Big Boss’s voice sound a bit off?

But the Big Boss was so badass, there probably wouldn’t be any problem.

Once they left, Chuzheng loosened her grip on Bei Chi.

He immediately moved along her neck, sniffing up to her chin, the corner of her lips...

-

Zhi Kai and the others didn’t make it back that night.

No one really knew what the situation in the city was like. If there were a lot of zombies, it was normal to get delayed.

Who knew that two days went by and they still hadn’t returned.

Xiaoyu couldn’t sit still, pacing back and forth, all his anxiety and worry written on his face.

The people from Captain Xia’s side hadn’t come back either, while Chuzheng actually didn’t seem very worried.

Anyway, if they died, there were others dying with them; she wasn’t losing out.
