Xi Xi, having eaten and drunk her fill, was turning over in bed when she saw Wang Haocheng acting suspiciously and looked over curiously.

[This is terrible! The plot is getting more and more fantastical.]

Why did the zombies appear so early?

Shouldn't they appear in the next town after leaving the desert?

This magical world is just as insane as Zhu Yanyan.

It doesn't matter anymore, they're all from Wang Haocheng's hometown anyway, he knows how to handle it.

After a long day of fussing, she felt sleepy and yawned, then easily rolled over and reached out to her mother.

Madam Liu was taken aback for a moment, then quickly reached out and picked up her daughter, her eyes gentle as she spoke softly.

"Sweetie, is it time to sleep? Mommy will lull you to sleep."

After happily blowing bubbles and letting out a satisfied burp, Xixi drifted off to sleep.

After seeing her daughter fall asleep, Liu looked at Wang Haocheng with a heavy heart.

At this moment, Wang Haocheng was looking out the window with a solemn expression until he was sure that the monsters were far away.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and turned around.

As soon as he turned around, he found a row of people standing behind him. Chen Xiang, along with Zhu Chenfeng and Zhu Haotian, were all staring at him with serious expressions.

Wang Haocheng gave a sheepish smile, his eyes darting around as he walked towards Old Lady Zhu. "Grandma, your cooking is really good! The mutton smells so good!"

However, before he could reach Old Lady Zhu, Pei Sining appeared first, squinting at Wang Haocheng.

"Brother Wang, is there something you're hiding from us?"

Wang Haocheng coughed a few times guiltily, shook his head with a half-smile, and said, "I didn't mean to overthink it. Everyone is tired today."

"If you don't have any, then what about the corpses wandering around outside?"

Chen Xiang knew that Wang Haocheng was hiding something. Fortunately, he heard Xi Xi's reminder and had just interrogated the caravan guards, getting some clues from them.

Zhu Chenfeng knew that Wang Haocheng was hiding this because those people were his own clansmen, and it was understandable that he had selfish motives.

"Manager Wang, we're practically teammates who've been through thick and thin together. If anything happens that could harm us, you have to tell us."

"Don't worry, they will never hurt you, just keep quiet and don't make a sound."

Wang Hao originally intended to keep this matter a secret, but he didn't expect that they would find out in the end.

Upon learning that they were afraid of these former tribesmen, he hurriedly and anxiously explained.

Pei Sining gleaned an important piece of information from Wang Haocheng's words and stepped forward with a puzzled look, asking, "Brother Wang, do you know them?"

Wang Haocheng sighed helplessly, knowing that he could no longer hide the truth, and walked to the fire, speaking with a sorrowful expression.

"Those were the people the city lord used to develop the elixir of immortality. They all died after taking the elixir."

"After death, they become monsters, immortal and roaming the night. They will not attack people unless there is a loud noise."

After learning that these people were drug addicts, Chen Xiang's expression turned grave, and he hurriedly asked a question.

"How many of them are there? If they attack us, how should we respond?"

"There are about a hundred of them. If they are attacking a group, the only way to kill them is to cut off their heads."

Wang Hao was unwilling to reveal these things, but after all, they involved the lives of many people.

He could only swallow his heartache and tell the truth.

Knowing that there was a solution, everyone felt a little more at ease.

Realizing that the noise would attract the monster, the group could only look at each other in silence, not daring to even breathe.

After simmering for half a cup of tea, the steaming hot mutton soup was finally ready, and everyone happily lined up to receive their soup.

After everyone drank the mutton soup cooked by Grandma Zhu, they all gave her a thumbs up in surprise and ate the meat and drank the soup with great satisfaction.

The rich aroma of mutton soup was so strong that even Xixi inside the space could smell it. While washing the white tiger's body, she sniffed the fragrance that had drifted into the space.

"It smells so good! It's a pity Xixi can't eat it, otherwise she would definitely drink a few bowls."

She sighed and floated in mid-air, vigorously washing the white tiger's body. After soaking in the spring water, the pustules on the white tiger's body gradually subsided, revealing its soft white fur.

After cleaning the white tiger, she flew back to the ground, panting, and leaned wearily against it, yawning as she drifted off to sleep.

Just then, Zhu Yanyan, who had escaped from the underground palace, was riding a maned wolf and wandering around the ancient city. The maned wolf could not withstand the cold of the night and collapsed to the ground.

Zhu Yanyan looked at the maned wolf lying on the ground, at a loss, and looked around for a house to shelter from the cold.

Finally, she chose a house that looked decent, patted the maned wolf's body, and directed it to walk towards the house.

"Come on, let me warm you up inside."

The maned wolf was shivering from the cold, but it still obediently followed after hearing Zhu Yanyan's command.

After the two entered the house, Zhu Yanyan lit a tinderbox and glanced around the room.

However, the instant the tinder was lit, countless dark shadows suddenly flashed through the room.

After realizing the house was unsafe, she turned to leave, only to find the door already closed.

Then, a scream rang out from inside the house.

The screams startled Xixi. She trembled a few times as she climbed off the white tiger and stared blankly at the screen.

It was already daytime, and she needed to go out and check on the situation. Before leaving, she worried that the white tiger might run away, so she turned around and gave it a serious warning.

"Don't run around, understand?"

The white tiger nestled in the spring water like a docile kitten, slowly opened its eyes, glanced at Xixi, nodded, and then closed them again.

After giving instructions to Baihu, Xixi left the space and returned to her mother's embrace. She slowly opened her dark eyes and looked around to see what was happening.

【Strange? Where are Zhu Yanyan and the maned wolf?】

Didn't they come out?

Not only Xixi found it strange, but even Grandma Zhu and the others were curious about what was happening outside.

After successfully spending the night, everyone quickly got up and packed their belongings. They had found a lot of supplies in the empty house the day before.

Before leaving, everyone must take all the supplies with them. Since there are no tools available, we can only rely on manpower to carry the supplies away.

Chen Xiang was discussing the next steps with Zhu Chenfeng, Zhu Haotian, and Wang Haocheng, and Pei Sining was also involved.

"Manager Wang, is there the fastest route to Hengyang County?"

"No, and we don't have camels to transport our luggage. All these supplies have to be carried by manpower, so our pace will definitely be much slower."

Wang Haocheng was also worried about this matter. He sighed and shook his head. "Camels can not only transport goods, but also guide the way. Sometimes sandstorms will cover the original road signs, and we can only rely on camels to lead the way back to town."
