☆、Pure, Soft, and Adorable Little Zombie Receives Possessive and Overbearing Ability User Daddy Attacks (21)
Shen Xuanmo took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing the anger in his heart, and tried to convince himself that Nan Qing would be alright.
On the other side, Zhou Zhen was still unwilling to give up. He didn’t believe that he couldn’t tame a Zombie.
Relying on his ability, Zhou Zhen was doing quite well in the base. Moreover, the administrator of the Survivor Mutual Aid Base was rarely seen, which led to frequent incidents of people abusing their power for personal gain.
“Still not eating?”
“Yes, hasn’t touched a bite since yesterday.”
“How are you handling things? Can’t even do this little thing right!” Zhou Zhen was usually gentle, but at this moment, he was rarely angered, scaring the guard into disbelief, but they didn’t dare say anything.
Hearing the conversation between the two, Nan Qing shuddered reflexively. Feelings of fear and panic quickly occupied Nan Qing’s consciousness, and his face instantly became paler, like a frightened rabbit.
The distinct footsteps of humans were getting closer and closer. Nan Qing knew that the annoying person was coming again.
“Why haven’t you eaten anything?”
“Awoo.” Nan Qing slightly raised his head, revealing an excessively fair face.
The delicate face was beautiful and charming, with bright eyes and white teeth. His eyes, filled with shimmering light, were moist, red, and alluring, and his eyelids were a little swollen.
“Why are you so disobedient?” Zhou Zhen’s gaze lingered on the pretty and timid young man, as if he wanted to see through Nan Qing.
“Awoo awoo.” He was too gentle and cowardly, looking at people timidly, like an easily frightened kitten. Seeing Zhou Zhen, he not only didn’t get closer but instead hid far away.
Actually, Zhou Zhen hadn’t really mistreated the little Zombie, other than locking him in a dark room.
Not only did he send a lot of human food, but he also delivered animal meat on a regular basis. However, what he didn’t expect was that making the little Zombie listen only to him was as difficult as ascending to heaven. So, he directly went on a hunger strike to express his protest.
Zhou Zhen sighed helplessly, squatted down and looked down at Nan Qing, “I said, as long as you listen to me, I won’t hurt you.” Nan Qing just shrank back and didn’t respond.
“Awoo awoo.” He couldn’t express his suffering and could only grit his teeth and starve.
In just a few days, the little Zombie’s face, which had been chubby before, had lost all its flesh, and his chin had become sharp. His stomach was also sunken in. Zhou Zhen felt a pang of pity in his heart.
He had brought the little Zombie here in a fit of impulse, and he didn’t even know if what he was doing was right. But when he saw Nan Qing’s delicate and fragile face, he couldn’t help but want to take him for himself.
At this moment, another man hurried over. It was Lu Yu, Zhou Zhen’s friend and the leader of another team in the base.
He raised an eyebrow when he saw the situation in the room. “How did it become like this?” Zhou Zhen glared at him.
Lu Yu also knew something about Nan Qing from Zhou Zhen. He had heard that he was a Zombie without any attack power. Knowing that he wouldn’t attack people, he wasn’t wary of the Zombie.
Especially when he saw the skinny young man, he couldn’t help but walk closer and want to reach out and touch his head. Nan Qing cried out in horror.
Lu Yu quickly retracted his hand and looked at Zhou Zhen. “What are you going to do with him? It’s not a solution to keep him locked up like this.”
Zhou Zhen frowned. “I don’t know.” To be honest, he didn’t know what to do now. This was different from what he had imagined.
Nan Qing listened to their words, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He slowly moved towards the corner.
Under the curious gaze of the two men, Nan Qing laboriously opened his backpack, inside which was a crystal emitting a strange light.
Nan Qing picked up the crystal and carefully handed it to Lu Yu, with a hint of flattery in his eyes: “Awoo awoo.” This was the last one the caretaker had given him, and he was very reluctant to part with it, but he missed his caretaker even more.
Lu Yu’s heart thumped, and he felt a strange pain, but he still didn’t take it. Nan Qing had no choice but to lower his head and shrink back to his original spot.
“I think you should just let him go… It looks so pitiful…” If this continued, he might die in a few days. Of course, he didn’t finish the last sentence.
Lu Yu had advised him before, but Zhou Zhen didn’t pay attention at all.
Zhou Zhen scratched his head irritably. “But if I let him out, those Zombies outside won’t treat him as kindly as we do.” Lu Yu was silent. This was indeed a difficult problem.
Nan Qing seemed to understand their conversation. His eyes were full of fear, and he curled up into a ball, hugging his backpack tightly.
The two men who had just stepped out of the door accidentally bumped into Qiu Ze, who was standing outside with unease. Zhou Zhen’s expression changed. “Delivering food? A newcomer?”
“Yes, I’ve been here for about a week.”
Zhou Zhen nodded and didn’t ask any more questions, following Lu Yu out.
Nan Qing was left alone in the room. He looked at the crystal that had been rejected, hesitated again and again, then quietly walked to the door and peeked at the two men who had walked away through the crack in the door.
He rustled around, stuffing things into his bag, including bread, lollipops, sausages… and his most familiar canned meat.
He was going to take all of these to his caretaker, so he wouldn’t abandon him again.
Halfway through, he thought of something else, and while silently shedding tears, he shook his head and put the canned meat back in place.
He tilted his head in confusion. His bag was too small. After packing a piece of bread and a bag of potato chips, it couldn’t fit anything else. Nan Qing was even more sad.
“Y-You are?” Qiu Ze said in surprise and delight.
It turned out that the rumors that there was a very special Zombie in the base who was locked in the central building were true. Moreover, that Zombie in other people’s mouths was the one he had met not long ago.
“Why are you here? Where’s Shen Xuanmo? Is he not…” He was about to ask if he didn’t want him anymore, if he had been abandoned, but when he met Nan Qing’s innocent and aggrieved eyes, he stopped himself in time.
“Awoo!” His caretaker didn’t abandon him. He just hadn’t come to find him yet…
Nan Qing was now very sensitive to words like “don’t want you anymore” and “abandoned you.”
“Alas, we are really in the same boat. Look at me, I’m just an ordinary person. I finally survived and came to the Survivor Mutual Aid Base, but in the end, I’m still living at the bottom…”
Qiu Ze didn’t care whether Nan Qing understood or not, and kept babbling, wanting to pour out all the grievances he had suffered these days.
Nan Qing wasn’t so uncomfortable next to Qiu Ze. He lowered his head and fiddled with packing things in the dim light.
“Tsk, the Zombie is more fortunate than a human, it’s infuriating!” He suddenly felt a little envious of the little Zombie. He changed places and changed people, but he still didn’t have to do anything and had no worries about food and clothing.
Unlike him, who had to wash clothes, cook, and carry things for those ability users every day… He worked himself to death but only had the fate of being exploited. Not only did he have irregular meals, but he didn’t even have a comfortable place to live.
“By the way, how did they lock you up? Have they been treating you badly?” Qiu Ze leaned closer to Nan Qing, his eyes full of worry.
Although the little Zombie didn’t like him very much, he was at least half a lifesaver. Moreover, he looked so pitiful now that it was impossible not to feel concerned.
Nan Qing shook his head, still not wanting to pay attention to this talkative person.
Qiu Ze scratched his head and guessed, “Are you saying you’re not getting enough to eat?” Nan Qing shook his head, thinking that this person was even dumber than his caretaker.
“How pitiful.” Qiu Ze muttered softly, feeling more and more sympathetic.
