    ☆、 A Pure, Soft, and Cute Little Zombie Receives, a Paranoid and Overbearing Ability User Attacks (29)

    “Nan Qing?” Shen Xuanmo softly called out to the boy, but the boy only snuggled into his arms like a muddled kitten, completely ignoring the two of them.

    “Brother Shen, how about I take over?”

    “No need.”

    An expected answer, but Qiu Ze still underestimated Shen Xuanmo’s doting on Nan Qing.

    After traveling for half a day, Nan Qing was like a pendant, clinging to the man and refusing to come down.

    Clearly, the man was enjoying it, and there was nothing for Qiu Ze to do, making him feel a bit redundant.

    Midway, Nan Qing barely opened his drowsy big eyes a few times, but quickly squinted and fell asleep again.

    At first, Shen Xuanmo thought it was just that the boy was too dependent on him, so he kept clinging to him and sleeping. But as Nan Qing’s waking time grew shorter and shorter, he also noticed something was wrong.

    Since the last feeding, Nan Qing hadn’t been clamoring to fill his stomach like before, and these days he had been so well-behaved and cute it was unbelievable.

    But without the boy’s constant noise, the two of them felt a little uncomfortable, as if something was missing.

    Along the way, the two had also noticed Nan Qing’s abnormality and had tacitly remained silent, speaking little, and the atmosphere was excessively quiet.

    “Brother Shen, what’s wrong with Nan Qing?” Finally, Qiu Ze couldn’t hold back and broke the silence.

    “It’s nothing, he’s just sleepy.” Just sleeping, it’s nothing, he told himself not to overthink it.

    Shen Xuanmo reached out and touched Nan Qing’s forehead, the temperature was frighteningly low. Realizing it belatedly, he breathed a sigh of relief; Nan Qing seemed to have no temperature to begin with.

    “Is he really okay?” Qiu Ze didn’t know what was wrong with the little zombie. How could he suddenly be so lethargic for no reason?

    But seeing Shen Xuanmo’s expression wasn’t good, he shut his mouth, and even looked somewhat gloomy and scary, so he didn’t continue to press the matter.

    Shen Xuanmo gently shook Nan Qing, trying to wake him up, but Nan Qing didn’t respond.

    Nan Qing just curled up like a kitten, revealing a delicate and perfectly proportioned face, and then nothing happened.

    Qiu Ze couldn’t help but lean closer, looking at Nan Qing, who was slightly drooping his eyes and motionless, and whispered, “Brother Shen, why is this little zombie still sleeping?” Could he be dead? But he didn’t dare say that, just kept glancing at the boy from time to time.

    Shen Xuanmo frowned, looking unhappy, looking at the boy whose eyelashes were fluttering slightly like butterfly wings, and remained silent.

    The two of them took Nan Qing to the border area between the cities. Between the two cities, there was a small base built by people coming and going.

    “Why are we going here?” Qiu Ze still didn’t quite understand Shen Xuanmo’s actions.

    The little zombie should stay away from humans, after all, no one would accept a zombie, of course, not including the two of them.

    Bringing a zombie to a base where humans live, isn’t that like an ant seeking out a spider, walking right into a trap?

    But on second thought, forget it. The guy’s strength is there, he’ll go wherever he says.

    Shen Xuanmo glanced at Qiu Ze and slowly said, “The information here is well-circulated, and the people are diverse. It’s the most suitable place.”

    Another important reason was that very few people stayed here for a long time, after all, it couldn’t compare to a large base.

    That way, they could avoid people noticing Nan Qing’s problem.

    Many people were just stopping by briefly before going to a safer place to take refuge. In other words, no one was superior to anyone else here, everyone was equal, which was also the reason Shen Xuanmo chose this place.

    “I know a little bit about this place. It seems that an Ability User built it to wait for someone, but later, for some reason, that Ability User left after staying for a short time.”

    “Mm.” Shen Xuanmo guessed that if that person hadn’t left, this place might not have become the mixed and leaderless place it was now.

    “Uncle, is there a place to stay here?” Qiu Ze asked.

    “Want accommodation? Long-term?”

    A burly man with a stubbly face sized up the three of them, thinking that they didn’t look like they would stay for long.

    “Yes, there is, but it’s not cheap.” Just as Qiu Ze was about to speak, Shen Xuanmo took out a few crystal cores and handed them over, “Is this enough?”

    The burly man’s eyes lit up, and he nodded quickly, “Enough, enough, enough, come with me.”

    Qiu Ze couldn’t speak from heartache, and complained in his heart: This can be exchanged for a lot of food, right? Brother Shen is too wasteful!

    Not long after, after humans discovered the function of the crystal cores, the crystal cores became a circulating currency for exchanging necessities.

    However, not all Ability Users can use crystal cores to improve themselves.

    Absorbing crystal cores of the same attribute will be useful, and the more you absorb, the less obvious the effect becomes, until the effect is minimal.

    The accommodation wasn’t large, it was a five-room bungalow with two bedrooms and one living room, plus a small kitchen and bathroom, but it was fairly clean and tidy.

    Needless to say, Shen Xuanmo and the little zombie would definitely share a room, and Qiu Ze consciously started cleaning up the remaining room.

    “Mo Mo.” At this time, Nan Qing had become much more awake. Hearing their conversation, he blinked curiously and looked around.

    The boy was clearly not fully awake yet, just sitting there blankly, looking at the person in front of him with a pretty and completely harmless frown, like a little kitten that had just woken up and wasn’t fully awake, in a silly and adorable state.

    “Awake? How are you? Is anything uncomfortable?” Shen Xuanmo asked attentively.

    Nan Qing shook his head and mumbled softly, “Hungry.”

    Shen Xuanmo was stunned for a moment, then chuckled, “Okay, I’ll go find something to eat.”

    Qiu Ze, who had just come in, said quickly when he saw this, “Did he say he’s hungry? Did I hear correctly?”

    “Hungry, Mo Mo hungry!” Before he could recover, the little zombie Nan Qing tugged at the man’s clothes, his voice soft and cute, like he was acting spoiled, making people’s hearts itch.

    Shen Xuanmo ignored Qiu Ze’s exaggerated reaction, the coldness on his face disappeared, revealing a thoughtful expression.

    He slowly pulled the boy back into his arms and said, “What does Nan Qing want to eat? Blood or crystal cores?”

    The pretty and completely harmless eyebrows furrowed, as if he was really considering it.

    But in the end, Nan Qing chose the bling-bling crystal cores, crunching on them one by one. Qiu Ze chose to go out silently, after all, out of sight, out of mind, he wouldn’t feel the pain if he didn’t see it.

    Even though he was just an ordinary person without abilities, he knew how precious they were. He really didn’t know how many zombies Shen Xuanmo had killed, or maybe they were Ability Users, to have so many crystal cores.

    Ah! Why didn’t he have any abilities? The more Qiu Ze thought about it, the angrier he got. Who knew how envious he was of those Ability Users every day, not to mention being with an ability user Big guy all the time.

    After Qiu Ze went out, Shen Xuanmo looked at Nan Qing, who was eating happily, his eyes full of tenderness.

    His Nan Qing was becoming more and more like a human, his vocabulary was increasing, maybe one day he would really become an ordinary person again…

    The more Shen Xuanmo thought about it, the happier he became, the corners of his mouth rising slightly unconsciously, almost turning into a Nike swoosh.
