"Little... hope!"

Guo Xin's tearful gaze fell on Xiao Xiwang. This little child was actually his!

He opened his arms, wanting to hug Xiaoxiwang, but then withdrew his hands and took a few steps back.

He was a zombie, and he was afraid that Little Hope would look down on him.

"dad!"

Little Hope happily rushed over and hugged his waist.

"I have a dad now, and my dad is the best!"

The little one was very happy.

"No, it's not that bad!"

A hint of embarrassment appeared on the zombie leader's usually cold face.

He knew he was a zombie. Along the way, many people saw him and ran away quickly.

He knew they were afraid he would bite them, but he didn't bite anyone.

But he couldn't explain it, and even if he did, he doubted anyone would listen.

"Dad, you're the best. I know you became a zombie, and you're the leader of all the zombies."

"And you're different from other zombies. You can talk, you don't bite, and you're much smarter than them."

"Even an old man like you can't beat me!"

The old man, who was eavesdropping outside and was initially moved, rushed in upon hearing this.

"What do you mean I can't compare to him? Do I need to compare? I am the best!"

Although he was just thrown into the air, it didn't stop him from feeling awesome.

The old man's intrusion instantly changed the mood of the three people who were on the verge of tears.

What were you eavesdropping for outside?

Qin Su glanced at the guilty-looking old man, but had no intention of letting him off so easily.

This old man is getting more and more mischievous; we need to set some rules for him.

"I, I just care about Little Hope."

“I’m afraid he’ll get bitten by a zombie, and then I won’t have anyone to play with.”

Qin Su: ……

"I don't want to play with you."

Xiao Xi rolled his eyes. He was busy, keeping track of how the plants were growing and what the results were.

"Then I'll play with you."

The old man just loves to cling to small hopes.

The two exchanged heated words back and forth, but in the end, they couldn't come up with a conclusion.

The zombie leader smiled as he looked at Little Hope.

Finally, the old man got tired of arguing and lay down on the ground, not wanting to move. Little Hope didn't bother with him.

"Dad, it's already noon, time for lunch. Is there anything you'd like to eat? I'll go get it for you."

Qin Su also looked over curiously. Since arriving here, the zombie leader had not been able to use the toilet or eat.

She also wanted to know whether he needed to eat or not.

"good."

"Okay, I'll do anything."

Little Hope quickly brought over a lot of food, including both meat and vegetables, with rice, dumplings, noodles, and even snacks as the main dishes.

"Dad, which one do you like to eat?"

The zombies in the underground city all eat the chickens, ducks, and livestock thrown in, but a high-level zombie like Guo Xin should be different.

Qin Su waited for him to choose food, but after looking around, he just frowned.

He then picked up a piece of bread and stuffed it into his mouth. Judging from how he ate it, it tasted rather bland.

This means they don't like it!

"Haha, you're not like me, only liking to eat candy, are you?"

The old man clapped his hands, and if the person also liked only sweets like him, then he would be good friends with him.

Qin Su took out a handful of candy and handed it to him. This time, Guo Xin ate it quickly.

"Haha, you're just like me. I've made up my mind. From today onwards, we're best buddies."

"I'll protect you from now on!"

Helpless, Qin Su drew blood from both Guo Xin and the old man before returning to study the matter.

After comparing their blood samples, it was confirmed that the blood of these two individuals was indeed different from that of ordinary people and zombies.

Their blood molecules even have the ability to generate themselves.

In other words, they don't expend much energy on metabolism, because everything produced during metabolism is absorbed and reused.

Sugars are key to their ability to generate their own sugars!

This result thrilled Qin Su. If everyone had this ability, their combat power would definitely be several times stronger when fighting in interstellar space.

However, she conducted many experiments, all of which failed.

Thump thump thump...

Wang Shanshan came in and asked.

"Miss, the zombies in the dungeon have almost recovered. Should we continue to open the market?"

“I have found some survivors around here, and I think they should be willing to come and exchange the goods.”

"It just so happens that we have a bumper harvest of grain, which we can exchange for things that everyone needs."

Qin Su nodded. People need to be in motion to live.

Moreover, she can also use the trading market to build her reputation here.

By the way, now that the resort is gone and they're not going back to the dungeon, they need to come up with a name so that other people will know about them.

"How about we call it Hope Base?"

Wang Shanshan felt that after coming to Qin Su's side, all her despair turned into hope.

In the days to come, with Miss around, everyone, like her, will see only hope.

"Alright."

Qin Su smiled; hope was indeed a beautiful word.

Xiao Xi was overjoyed to hear the news.

"Sister, the base's name is the same as my name, it's called Hope, right?"

"Sister, did you give me this name because you like me?"

Seeing the child's expectant eyes, Qin Su nodded.

"Yes, I really like Little Hope, so the base is also called Hope."

Although her initial intention was always to find hope in the apocalypse, the child was unusually happy, and saying this wouldn't make anything wrong, so why should she upset him?

"Sister, you're so good, you're the best sister in the world!"

Qin Su smiled. Just a few days ago, she had said that Qin Su was the best person ever, but now she had become the older sister.

So, the best person in the world has become Guo Xin?

It has to be said that there is a strong connection between biological father and son. In just a few days, Xiao Xiwang has become very close to him.

"Sister, can my dad turn into a human again?"

After laughing, Xiao Xiwang asked hesitantly.

Qin Su didn't know the answer to this question either: "I will continue to research it, but I'm not sure if your father will eventually be able to turn back into a human."

After all, Guo Xin's situation was different from other zombies. Qin Su had injected him with many drugs, but they had no effect.

"But even if your father is a zombie, he's pretty much the same as us, so don't worry about whether he's human or not."

He's still just a child, and Qin Su was a little worried that he wouldn't be able to accept it.

"Yes, I know, sister. I don't care. As long as Dad can stay with me, it doesn't matter if he's a zombie."

As Xiao Xiwang spoke, she hugged Guo Xin's leg and said.

"But Dad, you can't leave me again!"
