After saying that, the chubby boy, with snot and tears streaming down his face, rummaged through all his pockets and shakily pulled out a crumpled piece of paper.

"Could you please give this to Xiao Hong at Lingfeng Base?" The chubby boy, with tears in his eyes, forced the crumpled paper into Lu Sheng's hand.

There was only one sentence on the crumpled paper.

Your Highness, I take my leave, and this is a permanent retreat...

Lu Sheng: "..."

It's been two years since the apocalypse, how come the lingering influence of the "non-mainstream" trend is still there? Even if you see this on Douyin (TikTok), it's so cringeworthy you'd dig a Disneyland out of your toes.

"That's too embarrassing to say. Keep it to yourself and tell Xiaohong."

Lu Sheng crumpled up the paper and stuffed it back into the little fat boy's collar, then pulled the three little ones, who were trembling but still blocking her way, behind her.

The lumps that had just appeared on Hu Tingting's body quickly revealed clear facial features, gradually transforming into three abstractly shaped small heads. Two of them were clearly recognizable as the faces of an adult man and woman, while the remaining small head had fainter features, with only its outline vaguely discernible.

"You beast! You little beast! I should have drowned you in the toilet the moment you were born!" The middle-aged man's head on her left shoulder cursed loudly with a ferocious expression, spitting at Hu Tingting's face from time to time.

"Waaah, it's all Mom's fault, Mom didn't take good care of you." Another female head cried out, her eyes brimming with tears.

The remaining small head, with its indistinct features, kept its eyes closed and emitted a piercing wailing sound.

Hu Tingting was annoyed by the noise from the three heads. "Shut up! It's so annoying!"

"Holy crap... the Three Lucky Treasures have combined..."

The blond-haired guy from Lingfeng Base was so frightened that his voice cracked, and he instinctively threw several sharp ice blades at Hu Tingting.

But the slime on Hu Tingting's body was like a natural protective layer, and the bullets and superpowers of the three little ones slid down it like they were on a slide.

Her bloated, deformed body dragged its wet, heavy steps slowly toward Lu Sheng and the others, muttering to itself, "I'm so hungry...can I have a bite?"

"What are you eating for! I'll fight you to the death!"

The three people from Lingfeng Base, their eyes bloodshot with rage, charged toward Hu Tingting with a death wish.

"Shall we all play together?"

Hu Tingting giggled, and three jelly-like clumps of gel flew straight toward the three people at the Lingfeng Base.

The red, transparent, viscous fluid had just touched the three people's faces when it quickly spread across their entire faces like a face mask.

Let's play together! Good friends should stay together forever!

Hu Tingting's gaping, blood-red mouth emitted a strange, gurgling laugh, and her drooping, triangular eyes stared viciously at the three people covered in gel.

Accompanied by her horrifying laughter, the viscous substance covering the three people's faces seemed to come alive, frantically thrashing towards their eyes, noses, and ears, quickly suffocating them completely.

"Pretty sister, why don't you play with me too?" Hu Tingting looked at her work with satisfaction, then suddenly turned her head and looked at Lu Sheng with a shy expression.

Lu Sheng coldly examined the bizarre mutated child in front of him.

Compared to when she saw Hu Tingting while she was invisible, Hu Tingting's size and energy had increased significantly after she ate three people.

Could it be that mutants can now gain enhanced abilities by eating humans?

If her guess is true, humanity's survival is about to face the greatest challenge since the apocalypse!

Zombies and mutants can evolve faster by hunting other living creatures, but the evolutionary speed of humans is greatly limited, making this an inherently unfair war.

Whether her guess is true or not, Hu Tingting, this freak, can no longer be allowed to live.

At her exaggerated rate of evolution, she will soon become a major hidden danger.

"Sister, why aren't you saying anything? Don't you like Tingting either?"

Lu Sheng's indifference completely enraged Hu Tingting. Her body, covered in a sticky red substance, trembled violently with each movement as she staggered toward Lu Sheng.

Just as the sticky hands were about to touch Lu Sheng's skin, a gas bullet precisely pierced through Hu Tingting's sticky brain.

The moment the gas canister entered Hu Tingting's skull, the compressed air exploded instantly.

The room was instantly filled with a chaotic mess, as blood, flesh, and red slime were scattered all over the floor.

Under immense pressure, a crystal core the size of a fist burst out of Hu Tingting's head and rolled right next to the chubby boy's feet.

"Come...keep me company..."

Hu Tingting's swollen body deflated rapidly like a punctured balloon, eventually turning into sticky fragments scattered on the ground.

The red slime that had been covering the faces of the three little ones at the Lingfeng Base lost its power at the same moment, turning into a pool of blood that dripped down.

The three people, now freed from suffocation, lay on the ground, their faces flushed red, struggling to breathe.

"Sis... why didn't you say so sooner if you're so amazing?" After being rescued, the chubby girl carefully took the crumpled paper that Lu Sheng had given her from her collar, and carefully flattened and folded it again with her short, thick fingers and put it in her pocket.

The remaining two lay motionless on the ground, their chests heaving violently. "If we had known you were this strong, we wouldn't have fought so hard."

"What are your names, the three of you?"

Lu Sheng smiled and squatted down, tossing each of the three people a bottle of superpower supplement.

After occupying M City, she must restore the city's productivity as soon as possible and strengthen the defenses around the city to resist the rapidly evolving zombie army.
