Ming Shu squatted on the roof of the car and watched Hao Zi put the injured Li Jianren on the sofa. Huang Zheng stood on one side, armed and alert.

The sofa was placed in the street, right in the middle of it.

They wondered where the zombies had moved it from.

Being trapped in the street like this… It was their first time either before or after doomsday.

“You’re a good zombie.” Hao Zi wiped off his cold sweat and sent a good zombie card to Ming Shu.

If it weren’t for her deterring the zombies just now, they would have become food in the zombies’ stomachs.

…Although they turned in the last of their supplies.

Ming Shu smiled. “My zombies are hungry.”

Hao Zi trembled and glanced at the zombies standing behind her.

All the zombies were staring at them.

Staring at the food.

What the hell!

They were actually in such a close and peaceful distance from the zombies.

“He got bitten?” Ming Shu asked while looking at Li Jianren on the sofa.

Hao Zi wiped away cold sweat. “Yes…”

“He’ll turn into a zombie, so why don’t you give him to my zombies for dinner?”

“Roar!” The zombies seemed to understand the words and roared with excitement.

Hao Zi: “…”

Huang Zheng: “…”

They just jumped from the wolf’s den to the tiger’s!

Ming Shu smiled and sounded light and slow. “I was just kidding, don’t be so nervous.”

Hao Zi: “…”

Huang Zheng: “…”

It was not a joke for a zombie to say that, okay?

Hao Zi glanced at Ming Shu, who had turned her head to talk to the zombies. The zombies looked at her stupidly, not sure if they had understood her.

“What should we do?” Hao Zi asked Huang Zheng in a low voice.

It was an emergency and they were surrounded by zombies. This human-like zombie proposed that she would help them drive the zombies away if they provided her with supplies.

“Bitch’s condition is not good, and Su Tai is not here, perhaps we should wait… If she really wants to eat us, it won’t be so much trouble,” Huang Zheng analyzed.

Hao Zi thought so as well. She led so many zombies, so if she really intended to eat them, why would she bother saving them.

Huang Zheng bent over to check Li Jianren’s body.

Li Jianren got bitten on the arm by the zombies. There was black blood curdled in the wound, and black lines were running up along the arm.

Their bodies had undergone reinforcement, so if Li Jianren survived, he would not become a zombie, but if he couldn’t survive…

A glimmer of gloom flashed past Huang Zheng’s eyes.

“Poor man.”

Huang Zheng felt all his fine hair erect, and he looked up stiffly at the girl, who had appeared behind the sofa silently.

She also looked down at Li Jianren. Within such a close distance, Huang Zheng saw the arc of her mouth.

It was very creepy.

The girl looked up at him and smiled, then walked away. She ordered the zombies to drag out another sofa and lay on it.

Huang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Ming Shu tried hard to eat the canned food, enduring the nausea.

Hao Zi leaned back on the sofa and rested. Seeing Ming Shu’s behavior, he was a little confused. “Do you zombies also eat human food?”

Ming Shu raised her chin and signaled him to look at the zombies behind her. “You should ask them.”

The zombies growled at Hao Zi, which meant you taste better and we’re going to eat you. 

Hao Zi: “…”

I shouldn’t have asked. 

–

Huang Zheng and Hao Zi took turns to watch Li Jianren as they weren’t sure if the zombies would rush at them suddenly or not.

Even though the girl who had fallen asleep there said the zombies wouldn’t do anything to them, they wouldn’t let their guard down.

Huang Zheng stared at the girl. If he killed the zombie king right now…

Two zombies wandered by and Huang Zheng lowered his head silently

He was just considering.

The day dawned and the night passed without incident.

The zombies scattered, and Hao Zi thought they were gone. But within half an hour, the zombies came back one after another, bringing Ming Shu a number of strange things.

A pile of junk appeared before Ming Shu.

But these things were of no use to her.

“Roar!” A little zombie squeezed through with a bag of biscuits, and it put it on the top of the piled junk obediently.

It was just like a bunch of flowers growing out of the garbage.

Ming Shu’s eyes were bright. “You’re so powerful. Great, later you’ll be their head!”

Huang Zheng: “…”

Hao Zi: “…”

Is this how you play?! 

“There’s the medicine…” Huang Zheng suddenly poked Hao Zi.

At the bottom of the pile were boxes of medicine.

Medicine was scarce now. Although many people had been strengthened and had skills, there were also many ordinary people who would die of a minor cold.

“Well…” Hao Zi raised his hand slowly. “That stuff… Do you need it?”

Ming Shu looked down along his finger. “No.”

It can’t be eaten.

“Well… then… could we have it?” Hao Zi felt he was bold enough to go to heaven. He was actually asking something from a zombie.

Zombies didn’t need medicine, so Ming Shu threw the medicine to them casually and then set out with her zombies again—to continue searching for supplies.

Hao Zi and Huang Zheng were very speechless after learning what she was going to do.

It was already difficult to grab supplies from their own kind, now they needed to face the zombies.

How would they survive?

“What should we do? Su Tai hasn’t come back…” Seeing the zombies leave slowly, Hao Zi was a little anxious.

“Perhaps we can just follow her first?” Huang Zheng hesitated.

Hao Zi felt Huang Zheng was even bolder than him.

But the idea seemed… feasible.

That zombie king seemed to be a vegetarian zombie king who knew how to keep fit.

She didn’t eat people, and never touched the meat the zombies brought back. She even told them to carry it away.

“Let’s go.” Huang Zheng picked up Li Jianren and caught up with the zombie team.

The zombies in the back looked back at them and roared, then the zombies in front roared, too.

They didn’t know what the zombies were roaring about, actually. But they managed to follow behind safely and didn’t get attacked.

Sometimes some zombies would circle around them, seeming to be looking for a better place to bite them.

After wandering around them in circles, the zombies returned to the team unwillingly again.

Ming Shu didn’t care about the three tails, and she just searched street by street.

The zombies were like a violent demolition squad. No matter if it was edible or not, as long as they thought it was good, they would bring it back and then Ming Shu threw it away.

“Will you learn? This can’t be eaten, are you trying to poison me and usurp the throne?!” Ming Shu threw a bottle of chemical liquid aside. “Learn from your head!”

The zombies lowered their heads to look at the little zombie.

The little zombie held high the biscuits in its hands.

The zombies: “…” Scheming! 

Boom!

The zombies next to Ming Shu suddenly fell to the ground, and Ming Shu quickly scattered the other zombies.

As the zombies ran quickly, Huang Zheng and Hao Zi behind them were soon exposed.

The bullets hit at Hao Zi’s feet mercilessly, and he immediately hid behind the car in the street. The bullets shattered the windshield of the car, sending glass flying about.

“Shit.” Hao Zi cursed and groped for the gun. Although many people had skills, firearms were still the weapon of choice. Hao Zi asked Huang Zheng, “Where are they?”

Huang Zheng had a special ability to see the life bars of all creatures within a radius of 100 meters.

Just like the life bars in a game.

A human’s life bar was green while the zombies’ were red.

Huang Zheng’s skill was not aggressive but auxiliary.

“There are three on the second floor on the left and five on the right, human.”

“Come on, have you ever seen a zombie than can shoot?” Hao Zi shouted angrily.

Huang Zheng didn’t answer.

Hao Zi also realized something later.
