Ming Shu looked at the crowd in front of her. Everyone was wearing different expressions. âIf you all have something to say, you can go ahead and say it.â
Everyone: ââŠâ
Go ahead and say it to the zombies?
Everyone was a bit unhappy at Ming Shu but no one dared to really leave the building.
Night had already fallen. Without guns, supplies, or cars, they wouldnât be able to survive long in an area filled with zombies even if they were X-men.
She knew that no one would dare to leave. That was why she had the courage to say those words.
Ning Le was pushed to the floor by Ming Shu and was filled with frustration. However, there were Ming Shuâs people all around and she cleverly chose not to do anything.
She stared at Ming Shu dangerously and dragged Chen Wei off to the side.
Chen Wei couldnât contain her anger and kept scolding Ming Shu behind her back. She didnât dare to scold her blatantly.
Xu Shuo waited for everyone to disperse before inching toward Ming Shu and asking, âWhat happened? Why have you started speaking up for me?â
âAm I supposed to watch them throw you out or let you release the zombie to bite them?â I canât afford to lose face.
âAre you starting to like me?â Xu Shuo gave a cunning smile. âYouâre so fierce you might not be able to find a husband. If you like me, I can consider it, since we spend so much time together.
Boom!
Dead silence.
Xu Shuo lay on the floor in shock.
You can just say it if you donât like me! Why do you have to shoot!
[Lord Nine, you were asking for it.] The system couldnât sympathize with him.
Youâre lucky that you werenât hit.
Xu Shuo: ââŠâ What did I do to deserve this? I was following the tips, right?
I canât do this anymore.
I am not doing this anymore!
[Persevere, Lord Nine, persevere and you will succeed.] The system comforted him. [Think about those bitches outside. Are you regaining your strength? Success will be yours in the end.]
Xu Shuo threw the system into the doghouse. He didnât want its poisoned chicken soup.
âŠ
Half an hour later, Xu Shuo caught another zombie.
The reason he was so dedicated to catching zombies was because of his mission. Besides getting the girl, he needed to save the world by finding the antidote.
Although he failed most of his missions, he still treated every one of them seriously. If he failed this time, it was the worldâs fault and not his.
The zombie kept roaring.
Everyone was afraid that the zombie would escape and attack them.
Luckily, it didnât have the chance.
Xu Shuo finally got tired of experimenting and ordered people to dispose of the zombie.
Everyone finally felt at ease and went to rest.
At night, everyone was asleep. You could hear the different sounds of breathing.
Little Beastie suddenly crawled out from Ming Shuâs pocket and crawled over her body to reach the snacks.
Just as its short legs were reaching the snacks, it suddenly stopped. It turned its small face around.
Two shadows were moving slowly.
Little Beastie clawed at Ming Shuâs clothes and with some effort, climbed onto her face. It patted Ming Shuâs face with its short legs.
Wake up.
Stop sleeping!
Sleep your head! Wake up!
Ming Shu grabbed Little Beastie and squished it with her hand. What are you doing so late at night? Are you asking me to catch you stealing my snacks?
Little Beastie kept resisting with its four short legs. Its fur stood up like a porcupine.
Someone is trying to run away.
Let go of me. Let go!
Ming Shu yawned. Let them run away then. Are you planning to chase after them?
Little Beastie muttered, âIt is Ning Le.â
Ning Le?
Ming Shu got up and shone her flashlight in Ning Leâs direction. She was indeed gone.
Chen Wei was gone, too.
Ming Shu yawned again. Iâm hungry.
Letâs eat something first.
Ming Shu opened a pack of biscuits and stuffed it into her mouth. She started thinking about Ning Leâs motive.
Searching for supplies?
Thatâs possible.
After all, she couldnât let anyone know about her limitless storage space⊠Speaking of which, it had been a while since she saw Captain Fan. Was he killed after finding out about her storage space or did they split up?
Give me a bite, give me a bite!
Little Beastie jumped around asking for food.
âDonât you have your own?â Ming Shu pressed on its head and stopped it from jumping. âDonât tell me that you finished an entire warehouseâs worth of snacks?â
The things that she and Zheng Ye found in the warehouse were not taken by Ning Le.
Little Beastie had its own storage space, too. Although she didnât know how big it was, it could hold a lot of things.
She always remembered the first time Little Beastie showed off its storage space to her and told her that it could help her store all her snacks.
Ming Shu was still very ânaiveâ then.
After that day, she never put her snacks in there again.
Because once they were inside, they were not hers anymore.
Thatâs right!
Not hers anymore.
Why else would Little Beastie be so well-behaved these past few days and never once ask for food?
Little Beastie heard her and stopped jumping. It appeared a little guilty but remained stubborn.
Those things are not nice. They taste terrible. I finished them so that you donât have to eat such disgusting things.
âThe snacks here are also not very nice. Hence, I will not share them with you.â Ming Shu patted Little Beastieâs head and gave it a gentle smile.
ââŠâ
WTF!
I dug a hole for myself.
My life is shrouded in darkness.
Police Uncle, I want to report. Someone is abusing small animals, sob sobâŠ
The water in the Westlake, my tearsâŠ
Little cabbage, growing in the soil, nothing to eatâŠ
Little Beastie hung onto Ming Shuâs clothes with a deadened look.
Ming Shu kicked Xu Shuo who was beside her.
Xu Shuo got up immediately and fell back once again.
Ming Shu kicked him again.
Xu Shuo woke up a bit and muttered, âWhat are you doing awake at this time. If your leg is cramped, cut it off.â
âA zombie kicked you.â
Zombies!
Xu Shuo instantly sprung up. There was only Ming Shu beside him, where were the zombies?
He scratched his head and got pissed. âYe Miao, do you have to get your revenge like this?â
Ming Shu stood up and moved her flashlight around, disturbing the crowd. âEveryone, wake up.â
Xu Shuo looked at Ming Shu in confusion. What is she trying to do in the middle of the night?
Is she lettingâŠ
What is that in her pocket?
OMG, it can move.
And itâs colorful.
Xu Shuo took Little Beastie out of Ming Shuâs pocket. Little Beastie just laid there as though it was dead.
Is thisa dog? Where did she get this from?
Xu Shuo flipped Little Beastie around. It doesnât seem to have bones⊠and its colorful fur is hurting my eyes.
A hand suddenly reached out and snatched Little Beastie away, stuffing it into her pocket like a ragged cloth.
Xu Shuo: ââŠâ If that thing werenât warm, he would have thought that it was a toy.
âWhat are you doing in the middle of the night?â Everyone was complaining. They finally managed to get some sleep after a while, but were disturbed by Ming Shu.
âThat scared me, I thought there were zombies.â
âAre you crazy? I was just dreaming of eating a pork knuckle.â
