Fu Yan walked over and took the silver chain pocket watch off her.

Ling Li continued, "Don't tell Guagua that I and everyone else are dead, and don't let him kill anyone else and send them in. Thank you..."

After she finished speaking, her eyes became greedy again, and her body twisted and struggled uncontrollably, wriggling towards Wenren Lei.

Wenren Lei fired the gun decisively, stood still for a second, walked over and pulled the white blanket over Ling Li.

The two left the research institute and walked to the vines. Wenren Lei used a feather duster to sweep the vines, and a crack slowly opened.

Wenren Lei stepped out of the vine ball and stood on the snow, asking, "Brother Yan, at the rate at which Guagua is consuming crystal cores, how long do you think it will take him to evolve into a Corpse King?"

Fu Yan said, "About six months."

"So fast." Wenren Lei said with some regret, "That's a real pity."

After turning into a zombie, Guagua has stopped growing. The zombie king with the mind of a child is unpredictable in terms of its unknown nature and danger. Even a small prank could cause a major disaster.

Back in the territory of the sheep tree, Wenren Lei called out loudly, "Guagua, your big brother is back."

The tree trunk slowly opened, and Guagua was hugging a piece of meat and gnawing on it.

Wenren Lei walked over and handed him the pocket watch: "Your sister gave this to you. She told you not to send any more corpses in."

Guagua stuffed the meat in her hand into her mouth and swallowed it all, then twisted and turned, clutching her pocket watch like a precious treasure: "But it's so delicious! Guagua wants to share it with everyone!"

Wenren Lei looked at him without saying a word. For Guagua, eating people was the way to survive.

He sighed and said softly, "Your sister doesn't like it, so don't send it."

Guagua said unhappily, "Guagua, did you remember?" He sniffed hard, "Brother, you smell so good, but you are the zombie king's food, I dare not eat you."

Wen Renlei sneered, "I am his father."

"Guagua," Wenren Lei asked, "what do you want to do when you become even more powerful?"

Guagua tilted her head and thought seriously for a long time: "We need to protect everyone, and we also need to catch more delicious people to share with our sister and everyone else!"

Wenren Lei smiled and said, "Guagua, I heard that zombie babies can survive by only drinking blood."

Guagua shook her head frantically: "No, no! Guagua loves to eat meat, is brother a big bad guy?!"

Wenren Lei nodded: "Good child, so obedient."

He turned and walked away, giving Fu Yan a wink.

When the two left the town, the green belts along the street were charred black, and a thin layer of snow had accumulated on the bluestone path. No more small tree balls came out to sweep them away.

The surging zombie conveyor belt stopped running, with several half-dead zombies still hanging on it.

Wenren Lei turned around and glanced back, yawning as she said, "I miss my brother."

Fu Yan gently lifted the person in his arms: "We'll set off tomorrow."

Back in the RV, Wenrenlei took a shower and immediately collapsed onto the bed to sleep.

In the open space outside the RV, the group set up two long tables, washed vegetables and cut meat, and prepared for an outdoor barbecue.

Fu Yan was alone on the second-floor terrace, talking on the phone with Wenren Yu. He dictated the formula for the stabilizing agent to Wenren Yu, asking her to arrange for people to begin research.

A1-V transported hundreds of crystal cores via a transparent conveyor belt and reported, "These are the crystal cores your friends have collected in the past few days."

Fu Yan glanced at them: "They went out today too?"

"Yes, Master."

After becoming the Zombie King, crystal cores below the Redstone level could hardly provide Fu Yan with any further improvement. He said, "The yellow ones are for Wanzi, and the green ones are for you."

"Thank you, the gentlest master in the world!" A1-V happily controlled the teleportation device and left.

At night, Wenrenlei woke up and went to the terrace to enjoy the night breeze.

Fu Yan draped the down jacket over his shoulders and asked, "Did you sleep well?"

Wenren Lei held a cup of hot milk in her hand, staring blankly outside: "Half done."

Fu Yan used his earth elemental ability to build a wall around the RV, and used his fire elemental ability to protect the inside, where the temperature was very comfortable.

Standing on high ground, Wenrenlei could see the zombies wandering outside the wall and her companions enjoying themselves inside.

The air below was thick with the aroma of cooking. Yi Yang and his parents were skewering meat, while Meng Fan and Han Mingjie were grilling meat by the grill.

Cheng Nianli, Chi Qingmo, Grandma Chi, and Meng An sat together, cutting fruit and chatting.

Han Mingjie held a palm-leaf fan and fanned the grill vigorously: "I'm so hungry, Sister Nian, can you turn up the heat and make it grill faster?"

Upon hearing Han Mingjie's voice, Cheng Nianli casually tossed a cluster of fire into the oven. The fire leaped up instantly, and the rich aroma of roasted meat sizzled out immediately.

Wenren Lei turned to Fu Yan and said, "I almost forgot about Uncle Cheng. Let's release him."

"Okay, I'll go to the study to purify him."

After Fu Yan finished speaking, he turned and went downstairs.

Just then, Yi Yang looked up and saw Wenren Lei, calling out loudly, "Boss, come down and get something to eat!"

Wenren Lei waved his hand: "I'll be there in a bit." He called out, "Young Miss, come up here for a moment."

Cheng Nianli looked up and wiped the juice off her hands with a wet wipe: "Coming."

Unlike these immature teenagers who love to jump around all day, Cheng Nianli chose to get into the RV and climb the stairs to the terrace.

Wenren Lei stood on the edge of the terrace, her elbows resting on the railing, looking down at the lively BBQ below, her mind unconsciously wandering to the future life in the courtyard.

Cheng Nianli walked to his side: "Young Master, what is it?"

"I forgot to ask about your levels. What level is Sister Mo?" Wenren Lei raised her chin at Chi Qingmo as she was blowing air into the oven to help it burn.

Cheng Nianli said, "Mo Mo is really amazing now, she's an A11 level ability user."

Wenren Lei raised her cup, took a sip of hot milk, and deliberately said loudly, "Sister Mo has improved so quickly. I remember she was the last to awaken her superpower, right?"

Han Mingjie, who was actually the last to awaken, slammed her hand on the table and yelled, "Boss! What do you mean?!"

Having successfully provoked Han Mingjie, Wenren Lei was satisfied and raised her voice, "I'm talking about the elemental type. You're different; you're the noble spiritual type."

"Hmph~" Han Mingjie shook her head and continued grilling the meat.

Wenren Lei withdrew her gaze and continued, "Where are the others?"

Cheng Nianli said, "Class monitor A52, Meng Fan A23, and I A44."

Wenren Lei nodded slightly: "They're all very good."

Cheng Nianli tilted her head and gently pursed her lips: "I feel like you've changed a lot."

Wenren Lei smiled and said, "Really?"

"Yes, he's become much more composed."

Wenren Lei straightened up and said, "People change throughout their lives; they either become worse or better."

Cheng Nianli nodded thoughtfully, then said, "If you have something on your mind that you don't want to tell Brother Yan, you can talk to us. Don't keep it to yourself."

"My worries have been resolved." Wenren Lei's gaze passed over Cheng Nianli and landed behind her.

Fu Yan stood side by side with a figure at the top of the stairs.

Wenren Lei looked back at Cheng Nianli and smiled at her: "Your worries are about to be resolved."

"what?"

Cheng Nianli was still puzzled when Wenren Lei reached out and covered her head, gently turning her head towards the stairwell: "Congratulations, Miss."

The figure took a step forward, stepped into the light, and said softly, "Niannian."

Upon seeing his face clearly, Cheng Nianli's eyes widened in disbelief. She slowly turned her head to look at Wenren Lei.

Wenren Lei nodded: "It's not a dream, go."

Cheng Nianli abruptly turned her head back and tentatively called out in a low voice, "Dad?"

Cheng Shuang walked up to his daughter and gently hugged her: "Daddy's home."

Overwhelmed with emotion, Cheng Nianli choked back tears, "Dad..."

Wenren Lei walked to Fu Yan's side, took his hand, and walked downstairs: "I'm so hungry."

Fu Yan gently stroked the back of his hand with his thumb: "They called you several times."

Wenren Lei stretched and said, "Then let's go try Chef Han's barbecue." He turned to ask, "Are the cherry tomatoes ripe?"

Fu Yan reached out and flicked the tip of his nose: "It's ripe, you can eat now, you glutton."
