Chapter 98 Little Zombie

“Ugh, I’m telling you, life here is so boring!” Jiang Xianchuan lay listlessly on the bed, yawning as he stretched out languidly, muttering, “Every day is the same old thing, I don’t know when this will end!” With that, he turned over, propped his head up with his hand, and looked at the ceiling with a face full of resentment.

Li Lingyu, sitting by the bed, heard Jiang Xianchuan’s complaint and turned to him with a smile, “Really? I think life here is pretty good, at least it’s peaceful and stable.” He shrugged slightly, indicating that he was quite satisfied with the current situation.

As soon as Jiang Xianchuan heard this, he suddenly sat up in bed. The movement was too sudden, and he accidentally pulled the flesh on his waist, wincing in pain. He rubbed his aching waist with one hand and said grumpily, “Of course you think it’s good.”

Just as the two were bickering, there was a soft knock on the door. The room fell silent, and Li Lingyu stood up and walked to the door, slowly opening it. Standing outside was a woman with delicate features, Lin Pianyue.

She smiled and asked softly, “Can I come in?” Li Lingyu quickly stepped aside, nodding in agreement. “Come in, Sister Pianyue.” At this moment, Jiang Xianchuan, who had been sitting on the bed, also jumped down and quickly walked to Lin Pianyue, greeting her enthusiastically with a beaming smile, “Sister Pianyue, please come in!”

After Lin Pianyue entered the room, her eyes inadvertently fell on Jiang Xianchuan’s neck. When she saw the faint red mark there, she couldn’t help but smile knowingly and winked playfully at Li Lingyu.

This subtle gesture did not escape Jiang Xianchuan’s eyes, but he pretended not to notice and asked Lin Pianyue with some curiosity, “Sister Pianyue, is there something important you need to talk to us about today?”

Lin Pianyue put away her smile, her expression becoming serious. She replied, “Yes, there is indeed an important matter to discuss with you. Regarding the zombie we caught earlier, our research has made new progress.” She paused, looking at the surprised expressions on Jiang Xianchuan and Li Lingyu’s faces, and continued, “After observing and analyzing it for some time, we’ve discovered that it has evolved a rudimentary language system and can communicate with people in a simple way.”

“Huh? It actually evolved?” Jiang Xianchuan asked, his eyes wide with disbelief. Li Lingyu was also stunned, this news obviously exceeding their expectations.

Lin Pianyue nodded slightly, agreeing, and then said, “Indeed, since this zombie was brought here, it has been constantly mumbling that it wants to see you.” Hearing this, Jiang Xianchuan suspiciously pointed to himself, incredulously asking, “Me? Why would it want to see me?” Lin Pianyue nodded again, responding, “If you are free now, how about you come with me to see what’s going on?” Jiang Xianchuan nodded without hesitation, readily replying, “Alright, let’s go then.”

Before long, the two arrived in front of the research room door. As soon as they entered, the zombie saw Jiang Xianchuan from afar. Its previously dull and lifeless face instantly showed a hint of a smile, as if it had encountered a long-awaited rain after a long drought.

It stammered, “Chuan… Chuan…” Watching this scene, Jiang Xianchuan was very surprised, but he still smiled and walked towards the zombie, softly asking, “Is there something you want to see me about?” The zombie nodded repeatedly, then tremblingly reached into the backpack it was carrying and began to fumble around.

After a moment, it seemed to have found a treasure, carefully taking out a brightly colored piece of candy and handing it to Jiang Xianchuan, stuttering, “For… for you… eat… candy…”

Jiang Xianchuan was stunned for a moment, then the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a warm smile. He reached out and took the candy, sincerely thanking, “Thank you!” Then, Jiang Xianchuan unhesitatingly peeled open the wrapper and put the candy in his mouth to chew.

As a sweet taste spread across his tongue, he couldn’t help but exclaim, “Wow, so sweet.” The zombie stared at Jiang Xianchuan eating the candy, and when it saw the satisfied expression on his face, it was so happy that it danced and clapped its hands excitedly.

At this moment, Jiang Xianchuan suddenly remembered that he didn’t know if this zombie had a name, so he curiously asked, “By the way, do you have a name?” Hearing this question, the zombie seemed a little confused. It tilted its head and thought for a while before muttering, “Name…?”

“Well… if you can’t think of any other name, then I’ll call you Little Zombie from now on,” Jiang Xianchuan said with a smile to the somewhat ignorant creature in front of him.

“Okay!” Little Zombie nodded obediently, its face filled with a naive smile. Then, it seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and it suddenly grabbed Jiang Xianchuan’s hand, its big eyes blinking as it mumbled vaguely, “Play… play…”

Jiang Xianchuan was slightly taken aback, then he turned his head and looked at Lin Pianyue, who was standing not far away, as if seeking her opinion. Lin Pianyue smiled gently and nodded, indicating her agreement. So, Jiang Xianchuan took Little Zombie’s little hand and slowly walked towards the outside of the research room.

Just then, a figure rushed in, it was Li Lingyu. When he saw Jiang Xianchuan and Little Zombie holding hands, he couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows, a hint of surprise and curiosity flashing in his eyes.

Seeing this, Jiang Xianchuan quickly explained to Li Lingyu, “Don’t get me wrong, this child is called Little Zombie, it’s very simple and kind, and doesn’t have any malicious intentions. I think it wants to go out and play, so I’m going to take it out for a walk.”

After listening, Li Lingyu nodded thoughtfully, then walked closer, looking at Little Zombie with interest. However, Little Zombie seemed a little scared by the stranger’s gaze. It quickly shrank behind Jiang Xianchuan, only sticking out its little head and staring timidly at Li Lingyu.

Jiang Xianchuan noticed Little Zombie’s nervousness. He gently reached out and patted Little Zombie’s head, softly comforting, “Don’t be afraid, Little Zombie, this brother is my lover, he won’t hurt you.” Hearing Jiang Xianchuan say this, Little Zombie relaxed a little and slowly moved its whole body out from behind Jiang Xianchuan.

Seeing this, Li Lingyu shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, “It seems Little Zombie is quite attached to you and only trusts you.”

After that, Jiang Xianchuan took Little Zombie to a grassy area. Little Zombie ran around excitedly, and occasionally picked up branches from the ground and handed them to Jiang Xianchuan.

Jiang Xianchuan played with Little Zombie, as if forgetting everything around him. Li Lingyu stood aside quietly watching, a feeling he couldn’t explain in his heart. He didn’t know if the appearance of this special zombie, Little Zombie, was a blessing or a curse, but as long as Jiang Xianchuan was happy, he was willing to temporarily put aside his doubts.
