Leng Yebai raised his eyelids and looked at Captain Zhou, who was dressed in women's clothing.

Deep down, I was against it.

Standing beside Bai Xizhu with a tense expression, he seemed reluctant to make a move.

"Fine, if you won't go, I will."

Bai Xizhu waved her hand and walked towards Captain Zhou.

Leng Yebai's face darkened, and he moved even faster than Bai Xizhu, striding forward and pulling Captain Zhou up from the ground.

"Whoa—"

Those bored "idle people" let out a long sigh when they saw Leng Yebai suddenly pull a "woman" up.

Occasionally, a lewd, wicked smile would appear in their blank stares.

Such situations actually occur frequently in safe bases.

As long as there is food, there will always be women who let a strange man drag them away.

Perhaps because the man who was pulling the woman away was a handsome one, the exclamations from the onlookers became more cheerful.

Some women even sat up straight immediately, trying to turn their faces toward Leng Yebai.

The vast majority of women believe they can do it too!

Leng Yebai's expression darkened further.

He grabbed Captain Zhou and quickly pulled him outside, just about to look at Bai Xizhu.

He spotted Bai Xizhu walking very fast at a glance, leaving him far behind.

He even covered his face with his hands while walking, keeping his head down as he raced.

"Little Zhuzhu, why are you walking so fast?"

Seeing Bai Xizhu walking so fast, the little blue zombie quickened its pace to keep up, but it still couldn't quite understand why Bai Xizhu was walking so fast.

"Don't make a sound, just pretend you don't know the people behind you," Bai Xizhu muttered softly.

This was the first time she had ever realized how embarrassing it could be.

Fortunately, she didn't pull it herself, otherwise it would have been even more embarrassing.

"Oh, I see."

The little blue zombie glanced back at Leng Yebai, then at the survivor whose face was full of expressions, and seemed to understand something.

But for her, this awkward feeling could not be experienced firsthand; she could only guess at it from her past memories.

It feels like you could dig a three-bedroom, one-living-room house out of your toes.

Don't look back!

Bai Xizhu also turned the little blue zombie's head around to prevent her from turning around and looking at Leng Yebai.

This will make others even more convinced that they are in cahoots with this strange uncle.

Incidentally, Bai Xizhu also made the little blue zombie cover its face.

Little Blue Zombie didn't think there was anything wrong with being embarrassed, but she still obediently covered her face like Bai Xizhu.

Leng Yebai: ...

creak, creak...

His hand tightened involuntarily. Captain Zhou stared blankly at Leng Yebai, the intense pain in his arm failing to elicit any response from him.

He let Leng Yebai drag him wherever he wanted, like a puppet on a string.

Bai Xizhu and the little blue zombie kept their faces covered and walked through the gaps between their fingers to a secluded place before stopping.

Upon arriving at the destination, Leng Yebai let go of Zhou's hand and quickly moved away from him.

He then rubbed his hands on his body again, as if trying to wipe something off.

Leng Yebai frowned, and it took him a long time to look at Captain Zhou, who was heavily made up.

With a thud.

Captain Zhou slumped to the ground, expressionless, without even glancing at them.

Without Leng Yebai pulling him back, he resumed his previous sitting posture.

"Tsk tsk, my brother is really stupid!"

The little blue zombie looked at Captain Zhou, who was a mess of mud, and gently shook its head.

To be tricked into giving away crystal cores by someone like that, I wonder if Song Ning's head is filled with cotton!

"Captain Zhou, what brings you here?"

Bai Xizhu half-squatted on the ground, looking at Captain Zhou at eye level, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

She actually wanted to ask about Li Xue and the others, but seeing Captain Zhou's appearance, she dared not think any further.

Bai Xizhu's voice brought Captain Zhou back to his senses for a moment. His mouth trembled violently, but he still didn't speak.

The closer Bai Xizhu got to Captain Zhou, the more she could smell his fragrance.

The skin on her face was covered with a thick layer of foundation, and upon closer inspection, it was already showing signs of severe creasing.

His cheeks were severely sunken; long-term malnutrition had left him so thin that he was just a skeleton.

They were still alive, but they were more decayed and lifeless than zombies.

Seeing Captain Zhou's reaction, Bai Xizhu didn't press the matter further. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a few pieces of candy.

The colorful candy wrappers were placed in Captain Zhou's hand.

Captain Zhou looked down at the colorful candies in his hand, and a smile suddenly appeared on his lips.

"Xiaoxue likes to eat it, so I'm saving it for her."

After saying that, Captain Zhou shakily stuffed the candy into his pocket.

Fearing it might be unsafe and stolen, she took it out again and put it inside the sweater.

It was only then that Bai Xizhu noticed that Captain Zhou was wearing several jackets under his clothes.

They were all women's clothes.

The clothes inside that held the candy looked somewhat familiar.

Li Xue once wore it.

Bai Xizhu's heart sank, and she immediately fell silent.

Bai Xizhu stood up, no longer looking at Captain Zhou, her eyes slightly sore.

Having witnessed and experienced too much of the coldness and indifference of human nature in the apocalypse, Bai Xizhu did not shed a tear.

But her brainwaves were unconsciously released, mixed with endless sorrow.

The little blue zombie could sense the emotions in Bai Xizhu's brainwaves, and she curiously took a step towards Bai Xizhu.
