Chapter 10: A Child Tears Apart Zombies in the Apocalypse (10)

"Let's go, I'm going to kill a level 7 zombie. You guys stay away from here so you don't get splashed, it's pretty dirty."

Mumu nodded in deep agreement; she changed Ningbao's clothes three times a day.

"Is it a level 7 earth-attribute zombie?"

Li Qinglan looked down at Mu Mu with some surprise:

"You've met?"

"Yes, I've seen him. Ningbao even fought with him."

Ningbao jumped around, raising her little hand to answer, her sweet little voice incredibly cheerful, without a trace of the fear a normal child would have upon seeing a level seven zombie.

Li Qinglan then turned her gaze to the layers of bandages wrapped around her body:

"You...are injured?"

At first, she thought the two children were just playing around. After all, she had seen Mumu unwrapping the bandages on Ningbao's leg when she first appeared.

Besides, there's absolutely no smell of blood.

"So how did you manage to escape alive?"

"There was a group of people fighting a level 7 zombie over there. We were just dragged into it later, so we took the opportunity to escape."

Mumu pretended to think, but with her sharp mind, she could remember something after hearing it only once; she didn't need to think about it at all.

"I heard people in their group call the leader... Zhu Ruizhe. Do you know him, big sister?"

She was just testing him. Zhu Ruizhe was, after all, a sixth-tier water-type ability user; he should have some reputation, right? She still remembered how he had deliberately lured the zombies towards Ning Bao.

"That guy is a complete pervert, you should avoid him."

Li Qinglan's expression turned strange:

"Let's go, I'll take you back to base."

"Isn't the big sister going to fight zombies anymore?"

Little Ningbao blinked her big, watery eyes. Even though she was wrapped up like a little dumpling, she was still eager to try fighting.

"I'm not going. Let Zhu Ruizhe and the others fight it out."

Mumu felt there was definitely something going on, but she didn't want to ask too many questions, since it was only their first time meeting.

Ning Bao hadn't thought that far ahead. She just looked around blankly, then turned to Mu Mu:

"Mumu, Mumu, did Ningbao forget something?"

"What could I possibly forget... I forgot Yang Chenyi!"

"Who is Yang Chenyi? Didn't you say that only the two of you escaped?"

Li Qinglan's slightly suspicious gaze fell on Mu Mu. Mainly, it was clear that the older child was much smarter. The younger one, on the other hand, seemed rather dim-witted. Well, she wasn't saying the child was stupid, just that the child was as innocent as a child from before the apocalypse.

"She's the zombie we met on the road. You'll see when you meet her, big sister. She's very different. Whether it's her thoughts or her habits, she's more like a human than a zombie."

Ning Bao nodded repeatedly, because Yang Chenyi always stole her food, which was extremely annoying.

At first, when Yang Chenyi would stare at Ning Bao and drool at mealtimes, Mu Mu thought Yang Chenyi wanted to eat Ning Bao. But later she found out that Yang Chenyi actually wanted to steal Ning Bao's food.

In terms of fighting prowess, Ningbao is far superior to Yang Chenyi, but Yang Chenyi is cunning and always manages to infuriate Ningbao. Even though Mumu increased the amount of food she cooked, it still couldn't stop these two from causing trouble.

Li Qinglan neither said she believed nor disbelieved. Mu Mu glanced at her, thought for a moment, and then walked straight ahead to lead the way. Sure enough, the two behind her followed.

When the group found Yang Chenyi, he was lying on the ground, looking utterly hopeless, like a salted fish that had lost its dreams.

Ugh! He's not clean!

Yang Chenyi wanted to cry, but unfortunately, whether as a zombie or a puppet, he didn't have the ability to cry.

"This...is a zombie?"

A look of surprise flashed in Li Qinglan's eyes, and she squatted down to take a closer look.

While getting this close to a zombie is somewhat dangerous, the difference in their levels is so great that if Yang Chenyi really had any intention of attacking, the crystal core in his head would probably be ripped out the moment he made a move.

Of course, he had no intention of attacking at all. The people Ning Bao and Mu Mu brought were practically his own people; why would he attack them? Was he just being nosy?

And his current state...

A flawless version after careful inspection!

Well, how should I put it? Her clothes were torn to shreds, and there were many bite marks on her neck and arms. She looked strange, as if she had been abused.

Yang Chenyi: ...

It's those brainless zombies who can't even tell the difference between their own kind and humans; they just grab him and start gnawing on him. His current body was made from materials Mu Mu used to create puppets—basically, mostly metal. How could those zombies possibly chew it up?!

That's bad enough, but he couldn't even be a little gentler; he tore his clothes to shreds. Mumu only has women's clothes, and although he doesn't know why two kids would bring adult sizes, that doesn't stop him from altering them himself!

Is it easy for him to alter a piece of clothing himself? The needles were stuck in his metal fingers, bending several of them. Mumu eventually refused to give him any more needles, telling him to straighten the bent ones and continue using them.

Li Qinglan withdrew her hand from Yang Chenyi's head, her expression complex. This thing really was a zombie; there were fluctuations of crystal core power inside its head. So…

Can a person who has turned into a zombie regain their sanity?

If, when the apocalypse first arrived, people still had great expectations for medicine, hoping that one day a drug specifically for zombies could be developed, allowing those who had become zombies to turn back into humans.

Now, 50 years into the apocalypse, almost no one raises this idea anymore. Too many failures have led to a loss of hope.

"Big sister wants to use him for research, right?"

Mu Mu had already guessed Li Qinglan's thoughts; after all, it was really easy to guess. Any normal human being, upon seeing a zombie with a sane mind, would feel hope, wouldn't they?

"Yes."

Li Qinglan didn't hide anything and readily nodded in acknowledgment. After all, there was no need to hide it.

Yang Chenyi, who had just been lying on the ground like a corpse, suddenly jumped up and pointed at Mumu incredulously:

"I've only been gone a short time! And you've already sold me out! All I did was eat a little too much, occasionally slow things down, and was a little clumsy when cooking..."

His voice grew softer and softer as he spoke, but finally he suddenly raised his voice and shouted with all his might:

"You didn't have to sell me out like that. I... I can change. I thought we were friends."
