In a frigid apocalypse, she fed her boyfriend until he became a zombie king.

Wenren Yu watched the two figures fighting in front of him for a while and said, "2S-level water elemental, not bad."

Fu Yan looked at Wenren Lei with admiration in his eyes: "He's very strong."

Wenren Yu looked at Fu Yan: "If I'm not mistaken, you have the ability to suppress breathing. Who took away the supplies in Weicheng? I went to all the undamaged warehouses in my house, and they didn't leave a single needle behind."

Fu Yan lowered his head and smiled: "Lei Lei took it with me. I have a spatial ability."

"A psychopathic and support-type ability user?"

Fu Yan humbly replied, "To be precise, I am a single-psychic ability user, but my ability is simply replication and enhancement."

Wenren Yu clicked her tongue: "You've finally finished pretending."

"You flatter me." Fu Yan looked at Gu Zhengming. "He is... a dual-elemental ability user of water and fire?"

"Yes, S-rank. His combined release of water and fire elements can create a poison barrier."

Fu Yan said, "Pretty strong. How about you?"

Wenren Yu said, "I also have dual abilities, but my abilities are rather... useless."

"Don't underestimate yourself." Fu Yan feigned comfort, but was actually gloating. "Tell me about it."

Wenren Yu smiled and said, "It can temporarily control the behavior of non-superpowered individuals."

Fu Yan said, "It does have some limitations. What about the other one?"

Wenren Yu couldn't suppress his smile any longer: "It can temporarily eliminate the superpowers of superhumans." After saying that, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Fu Yan: ...Is it a bug?

After a long pause, he finally spoke softly, "You've finished pretending."

Wenren Yu replied, "You flatter me."

Fu Yan pointed at the meatball and said calmly, "There's something I need to tell you: both that silly little dog and I are zombies."

Wenren Yu turned her head to look at him, and after a long while, she said, "Then how did you and my Xiaolei get into bed?"

Fu Yan: ...

"You have purification abilities," Fu Yan questioned. "Can't you be a little more subtle? Lei Lei has been corrupted by you."

Wenren Yu scoffed and said sarcastically, "Whether you like it or not, you know perfectly well."

Fu Yan was speechless again; Wenren Yu's words were simply an upgraded version of Wenren Lei's.

Wenren Yu glared at him: "He's only 19. You're getting off easy, you beast."

Fu Yan swallowed his anger and said, "Brother-in-law, please stop talking."

"Haha." Wenren Yu laughed heartily. "You can't smoke anymore, can you?"

"Hmm." Fu Yan had lit one in Weicheng before, and his mouth only felt numb; he couldn't taste any cigarette flavor at all.

"This is karma for the heavy smoker." Wenren Yu stretched. "That's good, turning into a zombie can help you quit smoking."

Fu Yan said, "I thought you would be concerned about how I got infected and how I regained my sanity."

Wenren Yu propped her head up and looked him over: "I don't want to ask. Xiao Lei must have had a very hard time during that period."

"Hmm." Fu Yan lowered his head.

On the other side, Wenren Lei finally gained the upper hand, beating Gu Zhengming into a retreating defeat. Satisfied, he dusted off his hands and gave Gu Zhengming an upside-down thumbs-up: "Weak."

Gu Zhengming propped himself up from the snow, saying, "You've taken your revenge. Don't cause any more trouble in the future."

Wenren Lei turned away coldly: "The weak have no right to negotiate with me."

The crybaby boy from his memory had become a chuunibyou (delusional) teenager. Gu Zhengming opened his mouth, half-closed his eyes, and sighed in admiration: "Awesome."

"Tch." Wenren Lei was about to go find his brother when Wenren Yu stood up from his chair.

"Where are you going?" Wenren Lei rushed over in a panic, grabbing Wenren Yu's sleeve and refusing to let go.

Wenren Yu raised her hand and pinched his cheek: "Brother, don't leave. I finally found you, how could I bear to leave you?" He looked at the ruins of the research institute, "I'll go in and take a look."

Wenren Lei turned to Fu Yan and said, "Brother Yan, I'm going with my brother."

Just as Fu Yan was about to nod in response, Wenren Yu's gaze swept over him, and she said sarcastically, "Now I have to report to him wherever I go?"

Wenren Lei said seriously, "Brother, don't say that. He and I are truly in love."

Wenren Yu: ?

Fu Yan appeared calm and composed, but in reality, he was desperately trying to suppress the corners of his mouth that were about to turn upwards.

"Yeah, you've grown up and have a family now." Wenren Yu said sourly as she walked towards the research institute.

Wenren Lei followed, habitually reaching out to grab the end of Wenren Yu's hair, and whispered, "Wenren Yu, are you being sarcastic and making fun of me?"

"You disrespectful brat."

The two brothers bickered as they walked in, and Gu Zhengming lifted his leg to follow and join them.

Fu Yan reached out and grabbed him by the back of his collar: "What are you doing?"

"Not going in?" Gu Zhengming turned his head to look at Fu Yan, his body being pulled backward, and he raised one leg to maintain his balance.

Fu Yan released him and said calmly, "Let them be alone for a while."

Judging that Wenren Lei would be staying here for the night, Fu Yan began to clear away the body parts on the ground. When Wanzi saw this, she rushed over with her short legs and used her paws to dig through the snow to help bury them.

Gu Zhengming belatedly stepped forward to lend a hand, unable to resist praising, "Brother, you have such good judgment!"

Fu Yan set the fire, then kindly collected the bones of the nameless corpses, glancing at him out of the corner of his eye: "Learn from him."

Inside the research institute, Wenren Lei and Wenren Yu, holding flashlights, carefully checked each room, avoiding the bloodstains on the ground.

The institute's power system was completely paralyzed, all kinds of precision instruments were shattered into dust, the ground was covered with broken glass and paper, and various reagents and bloodstains were mixed together and flowed like a river. The researchers' corpses lay haphazardly in various places, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of medicine and the overwhelming stench of blood.

Wenren Yu covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, half-squatted down to pick up a scrap of paper, quickly glanced at it, and carefully put it into her pocket.

Apart from that, from the ground floor to the first and second basement levels, the two of them couldn't find anything else of use.

Wenren Lei still held onto Wenren Yu's hair, coughed twice to cover up the truth, and said guiltily, "Sigh, who did this? It's so cruel. What if a useful clue is destroyed?"

Wenren Yu's eyes curved slightly: "It's alright, you did a good job."

Wenren Lei leaned forward and asked, "Really?"

Wenren Yu said, "Really? You know your brother was bullied, so you're very angry, aren't you?"

Wenren Lei whispered, "Mm."

Wenren Yu stopped and turned around, looking Wenren Lei straight in the eye, and said earnestly, "I'm glad you stood up for me."

"Then I'm relieved." Wenren Lei choked on her words, trying to say them several times but failing.

He wanted to say, "Brother, you've worked so hard all this time," but it felt too cheesy, so he kept it to himself.

Wenren Yu rubbed his head and continued walking forward. There was a staircase in front of them, and he led Wenren Lei down it.

Wenren Lei hesitated for a long time before saying, "Brother..."

"Um?"

Wenrenlei asked in a muffled voice, "Qiao Lang is dead. Are you going to be with that Gu Zhengming? I feel like he's looking at you with a lecherous gaze."
