The atmosphere inside the car instantly became strange.

Bai Xizhu originally wanted to ask what was wrong with this world and why there were so many monsters outside.

However, Leng Yebai's outrageous and relentless manner made Bai Xizhu give up.

Bai Xizhu rubbed her temples, rested her head on the chair, and closed her eyes slightly to rest.

My worldview collapsed in a single day.

Seeing that Bai Xizhu was sleeping, Leng Yebai didn't say anything, but occasionally used a piece of cardboard that he had gotten from somewhere to fan Bai Xizhu.

The car fell silent instantly.

Zhang Yiming tightened his grip on the steering wheel slightly, driving with his eyes fixed straight ahead, though his mind was elsewhere.

Nothing could have made him feel more desperate than being told again that he was a zombie.

Now, in her memory, she is still in her school days, and those were truly wonderful times for them.

He couldn't bear to say why he could control zombies, nor could he bear to say why he had become a zombie.

He didn't even want to tell her that the world had become a place teeming with monsters.

Zhang Yiming hoped the car would just keep going like this, never reaching its destination.

But no, that won't work.

The car drove very smoothly, and no zombies hit it along the way. You couldn't even see any zombies outside from inside the car.

The zombies avoided the car and kept their distance.

The car soon arrived at the Yunhua Security Base.

From afar, one could hear a lively commotion inside the safe base.

If you listen carefully, you can hear footsteps running back and forth inside.

Zhang Yiming had excellent hearing and could vaguely hear the words "Zombie King".

Xiao Zhu was injured and lost her memory. Zhang Yiming had kept the zombies far away and had long since lost interest in dealing with Song Kerou and Feng Ge.

The two men escaped back to the base, presumably after revealing that he was the Zombie King.

"Xiao Zhu, wake up, we've arrived."

Zhang Yiming didn't seem particularly guilty; his voice remained warm and sunny, and even the doting look on his face was gentle to the core.

I'm numb to what he says.

His status as the Zombie King was already known to everyone at the Fire Phoenix Safe Base; his photo was even posted on the base's gate.

When the topic is brought up again, he doesn't feel much of a stir.

However, this will let Xiaozhu know again that she is the Zombie King...

Unconsciously, Zhang Yiming's hands began to tremble uncontrollably.

Bai Xizhu rubbed her eyes, and the first thing she saw when she opened them was Zhang Yiming's gentle eyes, but she always felt that there was a trace of melancholy in those eyes.

This was something Bai Xizhu had never seen before.

In her memory, Xiaoming was always a sunny and cheerful boy who had never argued with anyone and never had such weathered eyes.

"Xiao Zhu, Mom and Dad are inside. Let's go back quickly! They must be worried about us."

Leng Yebai watched as Bai Xizhu and Zhang Yiming stared at each other, then stretched his hand out in front of Bai Xizhu, blocking their view.

Knowing that Xiao Zhu was injured, Leng Yebai simply held his hand lightly in front of her without using any force.

"Thank you, Xiaoming, for bringing us back."

Leng Yebai gave Zhang Yiming a forced smile, then got out of the car from the back to carry Bai Xizhu out of the passenger seat.

"We'll stay here?"

Bai Xizhu glanced at the gate of Yunhua Security Base, her face full of confusion.

When she woke up, the world had changed so much that she still didn't understand what was going on.

“You’re the ones living here, I… I don’t live inside, I live nearby, and I’ll come to see you often.” Zhang Yiming paused.

“We…” Bai Xizhu pointed to Leng Yebai outside, then to herself.

The man outside was indeed very handsome, and he was her type.

But did things progress so quickly between them?

"Okay, go back and get some rest."

Zhang Yiming looked at the wound on Bai Xizhu's forehead, his fingers tightening slightly, but his smile remained.

He exuded a faint air of melancholy.

On campus, Bai Xizhu had never seen him with such a melancholy side.

"Xiao Zhu, I'm leaving now. Let's chat another day."

Leng Yebai glanced at Zhang Yiming and then lifted Bai Xizhu off the seat.

The movements were very gentle, as if holding the most precious treasure in the world.

"Hey! Put me down! I can walk by myself!"

Bai Xizhu pushed Leng Yebai away, frowned, got out of the passenger seat, and glared at Leng Yebai.

Her ears, however, quietly turned red.

Leng Yebai pursed his thin lips, a fleeting look of melancholy in his eyes.

Bai Xizhu didn't go back directly with Leng Yebai; instead, she leaned against the window on Zhang Yiming's side.

"Why don't you live here? Where do you live? Why can't we go in together?" Bai Xizhu pointed to the gate of Yunhua Security Base.

This is clearly a safe base; there are words on it. But if it's a safe base, why don't we all stay in one place?

Bai Xizhu leaned against the car window, and Zhang Yiming also moved slightly closer to the window. The two were separated by only a window, extremely close.

"Xiao Zhu, he lives elsewhere." Leng Yebai reached out, trying to pull Bai Xizhu and Zhang Yiming away.

Bai Xizhu saw the hand that was about to touch her and decisively slapped it away.

"Men and women should not touch each other!" Bai Xizhu glanced at Leng Yebai.
