Chapter Index
    “Who?” Shen Xuanmo said in a low voice.

    “Awoo!” Startled by Shen Xuanmo’s sudden shout, a piece of meat fell directly to the ground.

    Nan Qing didn’t answer, just slowly moved towards the corner, because that way he wouldn’t be seen.

    “Who is it? Come out!”

    Shen Xuanmo’s heart tightened, and he gripped the dagger in his hand.

    Nan Qing trembled and sobbed in fear.

    Shen Xuanmo kicked with his long leg, and the door was knocked to the ground.

    However, when he saw the small figure in the corner, he thought it was a child.

    But before he could get closer, the other party pounced on him with an ‘awoo awoo’.

    Shen Xuanmo cursed inwardly, “I*!” With a lift of his long leg, Nan Qing crashed directly into the wall.

    Nan Qing fell to the ground, his big, gray eyes looking at Shen Xuanmo with a pitiful expression.

    “Zombie?” Shen Xuanmo saw the teenager’s pale face and gray pupils, and his heart stirred.

    “Awoo awoo awoo!” Nan Qing thought he was being very fierce as he outputted at the person, not caring whether the person understood him or not.

    There was no way, he was a zombie who reasoned.

    “Awoo awoo!” Do you understand? You were the one who wouldn’t leave my house first…

    After speaking, his eyes revealed innocence and longing.

    “Shut up! If you keep barking, I’ll kill you.” Shen Xuanmo hesitated for a moment, and finally put down the dagger.

    Upon hearing this, Nan Qing immediately covered his mouth and became quiet.

    “Yo, you really understand?” Shen Xuanmo said as if he had discovered a new continent.

    “Want to eat?”

    “Awoo awoo!”

    Shen Xuanmo picked up the half-eaten jerky on the ground and said, “If you want to eat, bark once, if you don’t want to eat, bark twice.”

    “Awoo!”

    Shen Xuanmo placed the jerky on his hand, signaling him to come and take it.

    At the same time, his other hand gripped the dagger hidden in his sleeve, ready to deal with the little zombie if anything seemed amiss.

    “Awoo awoo.” Nan Qing slowly stepped forward to take the jerky he had been longing for, and devoured it ravenously.

    Shen Xuanmo watched him as if he had never eaten beef before, and a strange feeling arose in his heart.

    “Who are you?” Shen Xuanmo tried to ask.

    “Awoo… awoo awoo!”

    Shen Xuanmo suddenly felt that he was abnormal. Who would ask a zombie such a question?

    Nan Qing swallowed the last bite, took a breath, and then barked ‘awoo awoo awoo’, rummaging around, and finally pulled out an ID card.

    “Nan Qing?”

    “Awoo.”

    Nan Qing, 19 years old, a local of City A…

    Looking at the address, Shen Xuanmo looked at the dirty little zombie in front of him with a complicated expression.

    The little zombie had a pair of clear peach blossom eyes, messy hair, tattered clothes, covered in blood, and reeked of decaying flesh, but it couldn’t hide the teenager’s delicate features.

    Nan Qing didn’t know what this dangerous human was thinking, and looked at Shen Xuanmo innocently and pitifully.

    Shen Xuanmo felt a tinge of pity in his heart, never expecting that this little thing was actually a young master.

    Perhaps it was because of his inner loneliness, or some other reason, he couldn’t explain it himself. “You’ll follow me from now on,” Shen Xuanmo said lightly.

    “Awoo!” Nan Qing blinked his eyes, first habitually nodded, and then shook his head vigorously.

    He wouldn’t follow this bad human.

    “What, you’re not willing?” Shen Xuanmo frowned, and said in an unpleasant tone.

    “Awoo awoo.” Not willing, this is his home, he doesn’t want to leave.

    “Then there’s no choice, I can only…” As he said that, he picked up the beef jerky from the ground and was about to leave.

    Upon seeing this, Nan Qing immediately panicked. He didn’t want to be locked up here and starve. He was most afraid of being hungry.

    Before Shen Xuanmo could take two steps, he hurriedly followed him like a puppy.

    Shen Xuanmo stopped and said with a half-smile, “As long as you’re obedient, I’ll give it to you.”

    Nan Qing tilted his head and thought for a moment, and then nodded as if he understood.

    He looked so cute that Shen Xuanmo’s heart softened.

    “Good boy.” Shen Xuanmo cautiously touched the little zombie’s head, and seeing that he didn’t seem to want to bite him, his tone softened a lot.

    He thought in his heart, this is much more comfortable than those people with beastly hearts.

    He was very satisfied with the little zombie’s performance.

    Shen Xuanmo rarely went out, and took Nan Qing to find the bathroom. Unfortunately, the water and electricity were no longer working.

    Electricity was okay, but water was the source of life, and clean water was very important for survival in the apocalypse.

    However, this wasn’t a big problem for Shen Xuanmo.

    Shen Xuanmo’s ability was the water-based ability, which wasn’t very powerful but was essential.

    However, there was a limit to the number of times he could use it each day, no more than three times, otherwise it would overload his body and cause damage.

    After taking a rough bath, he saw Nan Qing squatting on the side, not knowing what he was playing with, and the memories he had forgotten were attacking his sense of smell again.

    Nan Qing had a dead person’s smell on him, and the rotten smell was too strong and too foul, making his head hurt.

    He wondered if it would be better after washing.

    “Can you wash yourself?” Shen Xuanmo said as he changed into a clean set of clothes.

    “Awoo awoo.”

    “Forget it, come here.”

    Shen Xuanmo filled the bathtub with water and put the person in.

    “Awoo awoo…”

    “Don’t move.”

    Nan Qing was a little afraid of water and struggled a bit, but finally resigned himself to Shen Xuanmo’s disposal.

    Not daring to resist, he could only complain in a low voice using zombie language.

    Before long, the water in the bathtub turned completely black.

    It also emitted a stench.

    Shen Xuanmo frowned. How much dirt was on this little fellow?

    He refilled the water and rinsed Nan Qing from head to toe.

    At first, Nan Qing was a little scared and struggled constantly, but after feeling Shen Xuanmo’s gentleness, he gradually calmed down.

    Nan Qing sat quietly, letting the water splash on his body, his eyes wide open, curiously playing with the bubbles.

    He had carefully observed the little zombie, and apart from the blackened tooth marks on his arm, there were basically no other wounds.

    After rinsing, Shen Xuanmo wrapped Nan Qing in his coat and carried him to the bed.

    “Okay, you smell much better now,” Shen Xuanmo said with a smile.

    “Awoo awoo.” Nan Qing sometimes didn’t understand what he was saying, but seeing him smile, he thought he was praising himself, so he responded happily.

    Pfft! Shen Xuanmo didn’t know what he wanted to express, but it looked so funny that he couldn’t help but laugh.

    “Little fool.” He was also surprised by his actions. This was the first time he had laughed sincerely since the zombie virus outbreak.

    It seemed that after spending so much time with this little thing, even he had been infected.

    Nan Qing’s hair was wet, and his body exuded moisture. Shen Xuanmo took a towel and gently dried Nan Qing’s hair.

    Nan Qing’s hair was of very good quality, black and shiny, and felt very soft and smooth when blown dry.

    Shen Xuanmo was surprised to find that the little zombie, after being cleaned, not only didn’t have the unique stench of a zombie, but also smelled a bit fragrant.

    After drying his hair, Shen Xuanmo looked at the clean young man, and couldn’t help but feel fortunate for his decision.

    This little fellow was so innocent and weak, yet he was in the apocalypse. He wondered how he had survived before he met him.

    Looking at the well-behaved little zombie, Shen Xuanmo was lost in thought.

    Nan Qing blinked his eyes, and suddenly reached out his hands and hugged Shen Xuanmo’s neck, scaring Shen Xuanmo so much that he almost kicked him away.
