TEOTWDWTEFTCLB Chapter 36

“Mo Mo, hungry.” Shen Xuanmo seemed not to have fully awakened from his nightmare, holding him even tighter.

Nan Qing: “…”

The two embraced quietly like this, enjoying a moment of tranquility.

But the peace was quickly broken by a sudden burst of noise outside. Shen Xuanmo became alert and gently released the small bundle in his arms.

However, he didn’t go out immediately, but first checked on Nan Qing’s condition.

“Still uncomfortable?”

“Awoo.” Nan Qing shook his head. He wasn’t in pain now, just very, very hungry, the kind of hungry that could devour a cow.

The boy frowned, his beautiful and completely harmless eyebrows creasing as if annoyed, and he pulled back his arm that had been pinched painfully.

He seemed a little angry, his small face puffed up: “Hungry.”

“I’m sorry, baby, you must be starving, right?” Shen Xuanmo now looked at Nan Qing as if he were looking at a fragile treasure, his voice gentle and pleasant.

“Baby, wait for me, it’ll be ready soon!” Shen Xuanmo hurriedly walked into the small kitchen, afraid that Nan Qing would see him drawing blood.

In the end, he even added a handful of sugar to the blood on his own initiative, remembering that Nan Qing didn’t dislike sweetness.

Before long, he came out carrying a bowl of liquid with a special aroma. Nan Qing’s eyes lit up when he smelled the scent.

“Baby, make do with this for now, I’ll find you a Crystal Core soon.” He felt in his mind that Nan Qing preferred Crystal Cores, his voice tinged with some self-deprecation and guilt.

Shen Xuanmo carefully handed it over, and Nan Qing took it and drank it in large gulps, not picky at all, one could even say that he really liked the man’s blood.

Unexpectedly, the boy hummed softly this time, very, very softly, his voice so quiet that it was almost impossible to hear.

But the man, with his exceptionally keen hearing, still caught this subtle hum.

Shen Xuanmo was startled, but when he met Nan Qing’s eyes, which were as pure and adorable as ever, he thought it was just that he hadn’t been resting well lately and was hallucinating.

After drinking, Nan Qing licked his lips contentedly and looked up at Shen Xuanmo.

Just then, the noise outside grew louder and louder. Shen Xuanmo’s expression changed. They were truly troublesome people.

He turned to Nan Qing and said softly, “Baby, stay here and don’t run around, I’ll go take a look.” Nan Qing nodded obediently.

Shen Xuanmo opened the door and saw a group of long-term residents of the base, who were mostly the vulnerable. Most of them were survivors who hadn’t awakened their abilities. This time, they weren’t here to cause trouble.

The one leading was still the old man from before. He stepped forward and said with a helpless expression, “Mr. Shen, we know you’re capable, but these old folks and children of ours are really having trouble sleeping and eating.”

It turned out that recently, for some unknown reason, Zombie activity around the base had become increasingly frequent. Although those few Ability Users had been acting recklessly in the base before, they had at least guaranteed the safety of the base. Now that those people had been killed by Shen Xuanmo, they lacked the ability to protect themselves.

In short, they hoped that he could stay here permanently and protect the safety of the old, weak, sick, and disabled in the base.

Shen Xuanmo’s heart stirred, and he said, “I understand.” The crowd gratefully left, not wanting to cause any more trouble.

Shen Xuanmo turned around and went back into the house, only to find that Nan Qing was gone. His heart clenched, and he searched everywhere.

Suddenly, he heard a slight noise coming from the corner. He rushed over and saw Nan Qing holding an injured little white cat.

Nan Qing looked up, his eyes full of innocence: “Pain.” Shen Xuanmo breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to speak, Nan Qing’s eyes turned red, and he approached the trembling kitten, revealing his small fangs and biting down.

Shen Xuanmo was stunned. He hadn’t expected that Nan Qing would directly suck animal blood.

The kitten fluttered a few times and then stopped struggling.

After Nan Qing finished sucking, he even cleaned his mouth very neatly, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, and then smiled at the man as if nothing had happened: “Burp!”

Shen Xuanmo’s heart was filled with mixed feelings, but he didn’t show a trace of fear or disgust. He even felt sorry for his baby, wondering if he hadn’t filled his stomach. It was all his fault…

He reached out and touched Nan Qing’s head, a bold idea springing up in his mind.

The man had been very busy these past few days, leaving early and returning late, but he still made time to be with Nan Qing every day.

“Baby, why are you getting so obedient?” Recently, he hadn’t been clinging to him as much. Looking at his baby’s jade-like, snow-white, and delicate face, he didn’t even want to go out. He wished he could stick together all day long.

“Awoo.” The boy’s voice was soft and fluffy, like a gentle cloud, drifting lightly into his heart and tickling him.

“Baby, have you forgotten something?” The man’s voice was low and magnetic, filled with doting.

He pointed to his face and said seriously, “Baby, you haven’t given me my good morning kiss today.”

“Awoo, awoo.” Okay, okay, the caretaker was such a nag, he had to kiss him every day before leaving.

When Nan Qing tilted his head, his beautiful eyes were fixed on him, and his thick eyelashes fluttered as he blinked.

Finally, he pecked the man’s face lightly, making a “Bo” sound.

“My baby, you’re really so obedient!”

However, Nan Qing didn’t seem as happy as usual because of his praise, but instead lowered his head, pondering something with his eyes downcast.

The boy was puzzled, his emotions a little low, and his small face instantly drooped.

How strange! Recently, he always felt that he was getting weirder and weirder. Many times, he inexplicably appeared in a certain place, and sometimes he didn’t feel hungry even when he hadn’t eaten anything…

As Nan Qing absorbed large amounts of Ability User blood and Crystal Core energy, his little brain was turning faster and faster, and his thinking and actions were developing in the direction of a normal person.

The only strange thing was that he often didn’t know what he was doing.

At first, the mindless Zombie Nan Qing hadn’t noticed it at all, but just now he realized that he had eaten too much.

His little belly was bulging, and he hummed uncomfortably.

But nothing was more important than filling his stomach, and Nan Qing didn’t care about anything other than eating.

“What’s wrong? Where are you uncomfortable?” The man was now extremely sensitive to Nan Qing, becoming extremely nervous at any slight disturbance.

“Mo Mo!” Nan Qing grinned and called out happily, especially happy.

Shen Xuanmo didn’t seem to notice the boy’s abnormality, looking at the treasure radiating purity and innocence.

Especially those slightly upturned, rosy, fleshy little lips, as alluring as ripe cherries, everything about the boy made him infatuated.

Shen Xuanmo seemed to be getting busier and busier, and the time he spent with Nan Qing was getting shorter and shorter…

Finally, two weeks later, Shen Xuanmo sat above the crowd, using his strength and ability to prove himself. He had successfully transformed this place into the ideal he had envisioned. An absolutely safe environment for his boy.

A few days later, Shen Xuanmo walked towards Nan Qing, took his hand, and said, “Nan Qing, I’m taking you somewhere.”

Nan Qing: “???” Could he go outside now?

The boy, who liked excitement, was a little excited, smiling slightly, his eyebrows and eyes as beautiful as a painting.

“You’ve been wronged these days, baby.” He was really inhuman. Look, his baby was so happy just to hear that they were going out. He should work harder.

Nan Qing followed him blankly into another building.

Opening the door, one could see the room filled with snacks in various colored bags, especially the colorful lollipops, and in the very center were more than a dozen Crystal Cores shining with strange light.

“Nan Qing, these are all for you, and there will be more in the future…” These were all things that Nan Qing liked.

Nan Qing was easily attracted to these shiny things, and he curiously approached the Crystal Cores…
