When Fu Ke came downstairs, the skinny guy hadn’t come out yet.
Hearing Fu Ke’s question, the skinny guy stretched and said, “The brakes were so loud, and the zombies in the backyard were getting more and more excited. I was sleeping soundly, and they woke me up.” He clearly didn’t welcome the group.
Lan Sheng was a little embarrassed: “Sorry, it was too dangerous just now, so I drove a little fast.” Then he looked at Fu Ke and asked, “Where’s Lan Zhi?”
Before Fu Ke could answer, the skinny guy jumped up from the sofa: “You’re that zombie’s brother?”
Song Fei didn’t like the skinny guy’s attitude and felt a little annoyed. Fortunately, Lin Lizhong, who had a fiery temper, wasn’t there, otherwise, he and the skinny guy would definitely have gotten into a fight.
“Lan Sheng is Lan Zhi’s brother.” Song Fei looked at the skinny guy and said.
“Isn’t Lan Zhi a zombie? Is it wrong for me to say he’s the zombie’s brother?” The skinny guy smiled and looked at Song Fei, who was arguing with him. He could tell at a glance that Song Fei was just an ordinary person.
So he immediately said with a nonchalant and disdainful look.
His nose in the air made it seem like he didn’t take the guy seriously at all. Compared to Lan Sheng and his group, Qiu Yingying and the others, who knew the skinny guy a little better, were somewhat bewildered. Although the skinny guy wasn’t easy to get along with, he hadn’t seemed this difficult before, had he? Was this deliberate harassment?
Qiu Yingying and the others weren’t bothered by the skinny guy’s words, but Lan Sheng and his group were a little annoyed, though they had to bow their heads under his roof.
“Skinny, go back to sleep.” Fu Ke smiled helplessly, then said to them, “Are you all hungry? I got you some food, but cooking will be slow right now. How about instant noodles?”
It had to be said, Fu Ke’s tone was much more comforting.
Lan Sheng and the others were indeed very hungry, but Lan Sheng was still worried about Lan Zhi: “I still want to see Lan Zhi.”
“Lan Zhi is hiding in the backyard. Go see him in the backyard. But besides Lan Zhi, there are other zombies in the backyard. They don’t have any intelligence, so be careful.” Actually, those zombies under Fu Ke’s control couldn’t possibly attack anyone, but she still deliberately scared them a little.
“Okay, thank you, Fu Ke.” Lan Sheng said gratefully. Then he turned and walked out.
“Let’s go together.” Song Fei carried Shu Ming out.
The members of Lan Zhi’s team looked at each other, and finally all followed Lan Sheng to see Lan Zhi. Mainly, the skinny guy’s unwelcoming expression made them very uncomfortable.
After they all left, Fu Ke looked at the skinny guy: “Alright, alright, don’t stand here, go upstairs.”
The skinny guy grinned: “Then I’m going to sleep, but what about the three of them?”
“The three of them will sleep with me, but since Lan Sheng is here, we should change places.” Fu Ke’s lips curled up, seemingly looking forward to it.
However, her blood-red eyes looked at Qiu Yingying and the others: “But if you’re scared, you can sleep in the living room if not with me.”
“No, we’re not scared.” Feng Han quickly said, even though she knew Fu Ke was a zombie. But she still couldn’t see Fu Ke as a zombie.
Chen Meijia looked into Fu Ke’s eyes, full of curiosity: “Fu Ke, are you really a zombie? But why are you different from other zombies?”
Actually, it wasn’t just Chen Meijia who was curious; Qiu Yingying and Feng Han were also very curious.
“Zombies are also divided into levels, and mine is just a relatively high level,” Fu Ke said with a smile. “If other zombies reach level fourteen, they will be like me.”
Level fourteen… because ability users were also divided into stages, hearing Fu Ke say this, they widened their eyes in shock.
“Instant noodles, what flavor do you want?” The skinny guy had already gone upstairs, and Fu Ke took out the instant noodles and asked them.
Upon seeing the instant noodles, Qiu Yingying and the others couldn’t help but swallow hard: “Anything is fine.”
“I’ll go boil some water,” Qiu Yingying said, running to the kitchen. The natural gas wasn’t working, but thankfully there was liquefied gas. Qiu Yingying picked up the kettle and poured water into it.
Chen Meijia and Feng Han, together with Fu Ke, unpacked the instant noodles one by one and put out the seasoning packets. The instant noodles for more than ten people were quickly prepared, and they were just waiting for Qiu Yingying’s water.
“You came here because you want to follow me?” Fu Ke sat on the sofa, the coffee table almost covered with instant noodles.
Chen Meijia nodded: “As the saying goes, whoever feeds you is your mother. Why wouldn’t I follow you if I’m eating and drinking well?”
Fu Ke laughed: “Aren’t you afraid I’ll support you and use you as my food?”
Hearing Fu Ke say this, Chen Meijia looked at Fu Ke for a while and smiled: “Even so, it’s not bad to be eating and drinking well now. Compared to those people living in the cold and hunger, we’re living a much more comfortable life.”
“…” Fu Ke was speechless, choked by Chen Meijia’s words.
Feng Han looked at Fu Ke and burst out laughing: “I really don’t know why they’re afraid when they hear you’re a zombie. On the contrary, I think… you don’t seem like a zombie at all.”
Then Chen Meijia also laughed loudly.
“What’s so funny? If you laugh again, I’ll put the instant noodles away!” Fu Ke was a little embarrassed by the laughter and shouted angrily.
Upstairs, a smile crept across the skinny man’s face as he secretly watched from downstairs.
Perhaps, having someone join wasn’t such a bad thing. At least Xiao Bai seemed much happier…
The Xiao Bai of today was different from before; she wasn’t so simple anymore. She thought about many things, knew many things, and pondered many things.
This meant she wouldn’t be as happy as she was in her previous life.
Especially regarding Brother Long’s matter, although Xiao Bai didn’t say anything, the skinny guy could still tell. Xiao Bai was heartbroken, and now that someone else treated Xiao Bai like a normal person, the skinny man was truly happy.
The skinny man felt like a worried old father. He then secretly slipped back to his room to sleep.
Backyard.
When Lan Sheng and his group arrived in the backyard, the backyard lights came on. Lan Sheng immediately saw Lan Zhi standing by the switch and breathed a sigh of relief.
He wouldn’t have been at ease without seeing Lan Zhi.
“Lan Zhi.” Lan Sheng strode over and looked Lan Zhi up and down. Although Lan Zhi possessed supernatural abilities, he was struggling to advance and was currently only a third-tier zombie, his skin beginning to ulcerate, making him look rather horrifying.
However, Lan Sheng didn’t seem to mind at all, looking him over again: “It’s good that you’re alright.”
Lan Zhi made a hoarse sound, but Lan Sheng couldn’t understand a word, which made Lan Zhi a little anxious.
Seeing Lan Zhi’s anxious look, Lan Sheng immediately grabbed his paw: “Don’t worry, it will be alright. You can definitely be like Fu Ke! Then, everything will be alright.”
Lan Zhi froze, a glint of light flashing in his blood-red eyes, trying to retract his paw to avoid scratching Lan Sheng.
Song Fei watched their interaction, and everyone fell silent.
Especially Song Fei, who thought that if his sister or he became a zombie, the other party definitely wouldn’t be able to harm him either.
The siblings, who should have understood Lan Sheng and his brother the most, initially couldn’t understand Lan Sheng at all.
Song Fei carried Shu Ming over, who was tense and looked at Lan Zhi with some fear.
Lan Zhi looked at Song Fei approaching, his bloodshot eyes filled with confusion.
Song Fei patted Lan Sheng’s shoulder and looked at Lan Zhi: “I’m sorry, we were wrong before.”
Liu Qi, Chen Yue, and the others also came over, seemingly because of the incident at Radiant Base, or perhaps because they now understood that Lan Zhi really wouldn’t hurt them.
So now everyone seemed less afraid and gathered around: “I’m sorry, Captain, Vice Captain, we were wrong.”
There are good and bad people, and zombies aren’t necessarily all enemies. Those people at Radiant Base were worse than animals; they were clearly human, with consciousness and reason, yet they did things that mindless zombies did.
Lan Zhi’s eyes softened, and he waved his hand, indicating that he didn’t mind what had happened before, even though he couldn’t speak.
A few people were enough to keep the other zombies in the backyard at bay, but now a group of them were roaming around them, making them incredibly itchy and almost unable to control themselves.
“Roar…” Lin Yiyi’s blood-red eyes were filled with greed as she roared and lunged forward.
Lan Zhi immediately blocked her, black mist corroding Lin Yiyi’s skin.
Knowing that Lin Yiyi was important to Qiu Yi, Lan Zhi didn’t go too far, just forcefully shoving Lin Yiyi away. Lan Zhi, who had been restraining himself from roaring, roared: “Roar—”
The strength and level among zombies were very clear, and Lin Yiyi immediately shrank back in fear. The other restless zombies were also frightened back by the aura bursting from Lan Zhi, standing obediently in place.
“Why are they raising zombies here?” Raising them in the backyard, it’s definitely keeping them. Zhou Zai couldn’t help but complain.
Then Song Fei turned to look at him: “The master here is a zombie.”
Zhou Zaihe smiled awkwardly. Indeed, Fu Ke was a zombie, so raising zombies was perfectly normal, wasn’t it?
Fu Ke only withdrew her mental energy after seeing that they had truly let go of their grudges against Lan Zhi. It was Fu Ke’s intention to have Lin Yiyi test the waters. Otherwise, with Fu Ke’s current strength, even if a zombie was surrounded by a crowd, she could control it and prevent it from biting people.
When Lan Sheng and the others returned from behind, Song Jing and Lin Lizhong also returned with Lu Xun.
Fu Ke timed it perfectly; as soon as they arrived, the instant noodles were almost ready, their rich aroma wafting for miles.
“Come and eat, and then get some rest. Tomorrow, we’ll be on our way.” Fu Ke invited them to eat the instant noodles, taking out several long benches from her space, enough for everyone to sit on.
Lu Xun started eating his instant noodles without ceremony, but upon hearing Fu Ke’s words, his eyes widened as he asked, “Really? I just got here, haven’t even had a chance to rest, and I’m leaving tomorrow?”
“This place is too small. There’s not enough room for all of you. It’ll be even more crowded later,” Fu Ke said.
How could there be more and more people? Lu Xun wanted to say something, but thinking of Qiu Yingying and the others, and Lan Sheng’s group, he immediately fell silent. What if there really were more and more people later?
“You can choose for yourselves. If you don’t want to, you can stay or leave. If you do want to, come with me. But those who choose to stay by my side, I won’t allow any betrayal. I mean any betrayal. Understand?”
Fu Ke’s bloodshot eyes stared at the group.
Lan Sheng paused in eating his noodles. Fu Ke’s meaning was clear. Choosing to follow her meant becoming her person. Becoming her person meant not being able to betray her.
Lan Zhi’s team yearned for freedom; otherwise, they wouldn’t have acted alone instead of staying in the base.
Shu Ming ate his instant noodles, but kept staring at Fu Ke. He knew perfectly well that the strongest person here was this woman. Thinking of his grandmother, perhaps this woman could save her?
“I’m fine, I’ll go with you. I’ll never betray you!” Chen Meijia ate her instant noodles in large mouthfuls, finishing them in no time and gulping down the broth.
“Me too, Fu Ke, wherever you go, I’ll go,” Feng Han said with a smile.
“Me too,” Lu Xun quickly agreed, glaring at Chen Meijia, trying to steal his lines!
The Lan Zhi team was reluctant, but Lan Sheng definitely couldn’t bear to part with Lan Zhi. And Lan Zhi was a zombie; wherever they went, they might be attacked by a mob because of him.
Therefore, staying with Fu Ke was the best option.
After all, Fu Ke could command a group of zombies at will.
Song Fei was still looking at Lan Sheng, who thought for a moment and then nodded: “I’ll go with you.”
As soon as Lan Sheng spoke, the members of the Lan Zhi team all said they would go with Fu Ke.
Fu Ke smiled. “Very good. Remember what you said. I’ve placed a trace of my spiritual power on each of you. Don’t worry, I’m not monitoring your every move, but if you betray me, no matter where you run to, I will find you and destroy you.”
No one knew if the spiritual power was real or not, but Fu Ke was unlikely to lie to them.
The women slept in the same room as Fu Ke, while the others spent the night in the living room. Shu Ming watched Fu Ke leave, wanting to speak, but unable to utter a word. There was no paper or pen nearby, so she couldn’t write anything down. He was suddenly at a loss for what to do.
“Go to sleep, don’t wander off,” Song Fei pulled Shu Ming back and made him lie down on the sofa to sleep.
