Jiang Qinian pulled Lin Anran to a dark, old house, and roared—
One, two, three... Boom!
A figure jumped down from a high place, and by the time Lin Anran reacted, the person was already standing upright to the side.
Neither of them spoke first; they simply sized each other up.
"You, you all, why...why did you come...to find...me?"
The hoarse voice echoed in the empty house.
It can even talk! Are zombies now able to reproduce with systems like this?
Anian regained his speech unexpectedly after drinking the spiritual spring water.
This zombie?
"Sister, older sister?"
Lin Anran carefully examined the boy in front of her. He was 185 cm tall and had a muscular build, a typical male college sports student.
Jiang Qinian wrapped his arm around Lin Anran's small hand and stretched his neck as if to assert his ownership.
"Sister, brother-in-law..."
Hmm? Jiang Qinian's mood improved a lot. It was good that it knew what was good for it; otherwise, he would have ordered it to get as far away as possible!
Lin Anran's lips twitched. She could clearly sense the change in the man's emotions. He was bought off with just one word, "brother-in-law." He was too easy to coax!
"May I have your name?"
"I...I am called Wang...Wang Lei."
Lin Anran was shocked, "You actually remember your name?"
"...Um!"
!!
"A-Nian, do you know what's going on?"
Jiang Qinian shook his head. He didn't have time to care about that. He wondered where that old man was hiding. He had actually disappeared!
Lin Anran smiled gently, "Then do you remember how you became a zombie? Have you always had your memories? Or..."
Wang Lei scratched his head, his grayish-white pupils suddenly shrinking. "I, I... went on a trip with my friends, and... the zombies came! I... it hurts so much! They bit... bit me! I'm dizzy!"
When I woke up...it was like this! I...I was scared, they...if they bit me again, I...I hid! Then I realized they...they weren't biting me anymore, but they were scared of me!
Lin Anran formed a complete sentence, and was shocked. Could it really be a coincidence?
This person's luck is incredible!
"Then why did you ambush us there? And why did you follow us back?"
"I, I, I..."
"Don't rush! Don't rush! Tell me slowly!"
Wang Lei was visibly agitated, as if he had thought of something that made him angry.
"I, I was sleeping... it exploded! Fighting... no, I've never fought."
Thinking about this made him frustrated. Even though he was already a zombie king, he still couldn't beat that person! It was infuriating!
Lin Anran was completely confused. "Exploded? Where did it explode?"
Jiang Qinian explained, "My dad used explosives to blow up the main gate to clear the way! Then he ran out! But he couldn't beat him."
Wow, Uncle Jiang is pretty amazing!
"Then why did you come back with us? You're not here for revenge, are you?"
"No...no, I...I want to surrender...to...you! But...it's terrifying!"
When he tried to show off his power a second time, he encountered a zombie king who was even more powerful than himself, which caused his confidence to plummet.
It's too scary outside, he needs to cling to a powerful figure!
No! You're the Zombie King! Dude! Are you trying to play the victim?!
Wang Lei looked up at Lin Anran with a pitiful gaze, then looked down again.
"No...no, it's okay, I...I can not...not go. Brother...brother is angry!"
Lin Anran covered her mouth and chuckled. This young man was quite good at changing his expression. He knew that the person who hit him was Ah Nian's father, so he didn't even call him brother-in-law anymore!
Jiang Qinian suddenly lost his temper and pulled the woman into his arms.
green tea!
"I disagree!"
Wang Lei glanced sadly at Lin Anran, then turned and limped back.
"Wait! Ah Nian, don't do this, he's so pitiful!"
Jiang Qinian's expression changed, and he looked coldly at Wang Lei, who was pretending to be young.
"go home!"
Lin Anran put normal contact lenses on Wang Lei and instructed him again: "Xiao Lei! Remember, don't talk when you get back, don't gouge out the stuff in your eyes, and don't scare people."
"good!"
Lin Anran turned around and took the reluctant hand, saying, "Alright! Let's go home!"
Back at the base, everyone was working diligently. When they saw Lin Anran bring back a strange man, they couldn't help but start speculating wildly.
"Who's that? They look unfamiliar. They're not from our base, are they?"
"No! As the most knowledgeable person in our base, I can guarantee this is his first time here."
"So, who do you think he is? He seems to know the goddesses quite well!"
Lin Yu put down the brick he was holding and circled around Wang Lei. "Who are you?"
......
"Sis! Where did you bring this person back? Why can't they talk?"
Lin Anran slapped Lin Yu on the shoulder. "He's the one who helped us clear out the zombies around here. He has a problem with his throat and can't speak yet."
Clearing out zombies?
The group, who had been wary, suddenly became lively and cheerful.
"So he's a little hero! He looks really amazing! And he's got a really kind heart too!"
"Yes! Yes! How did you get injured? Let the doctor take a look, it's such a pity!"
"Yeah yeah!......"
When Jiang Junke saw that familiar face, the words caught in his throat.
Isn't he the zombie that fled in panic?
Wang Lei also saw the man who had given him a sense of unease, and his body trembled.
Lin's mother leaned in very close, "Young man, you look quite muscular! Those muscles are well-defined! Let me see your throat!"
"Mom! It's inconvenient with so many people here. Please take a good look at him after you're done with your work!"
Lin Anran quickly grabbed her mother, who was itching to make a move. She knew that her mother's "handsome guy radar" had been activated.
"Alright, alright! Got it! Let's get to work quickly."
Lin's father looked at Wang Lei with jealousy, then picked up a cart full of bricks and walked to the side.
Hmph! Pretty boy, what's so attractive about him? He's so weak and frail!
Lin Anran settled Wang Lei in and prepared a sumptuous dinner, waiting for everyone to return.
"Phew~ That feels so good! My arms and legs feel so stretched out! Working really does keep you fit!"
Lin Yu pushed open the door and smelled the delicious aroma of dinner, which made him feel much better.
"Sis! Is dinner ready?"
Lin Yu ran into the kitchen, rubbed his hands together, and leaned over to smell the braised chicken.
"It smells so good! I'm starving!"
"Let's eat!"
Lin Anran wore heat-resistant gloves and placed the large plate of chicken on the table.
Lin's father and the others washed their hands one after another and sat down at the dining table.
Although they were very hungry, they were now eager to know who this man was!
