Pei Ji carried Xue Huan to his place of residence.

This is an exquisite and luxurious house. Inside there is a mutant willow tree that is as thick as a bathtub, with lush branches and leaves, and the entire house is covered by it.

The mutated plants are like spirits, with a strong sense of territory. They will actively defend their territory and attack if others invade.

This mutated willow tree is naturally no exception.

Each of its branches is as thick as a finger. When it hits a person, it feels like being whipped by an iron whip. The person may be seriously injured at best, or even killed!

It is precisely for this reason that the house has been well preserved and has been basically undamaged.

Pei Ji beat the mutated willow tree violently and cut off many of its branches. Branches to the willow tree are like hair to a woman. You can bleed and sweat, but you can't lose your hair!

Now that its "hair" was so much less, the willow tree was so angry that its branches danced wildly, but it couldn't defeat him.

Finally, Pei Ji suggested that both sides make a compromise. He would not cut its branches, but the condition was that it could live in the house. If it did not agree, he would cut it off completely.

Under pressure from his fighting strength, Liu Shu had no choice but to compromise and allow him to live in.

When Xue Huan woke up, she found herself lying in an exquisite and unfamiliar room. Pei Ji was sitting in front of the window, using her bone dagger to carve a wooden sword.

Pei Ji immediately noticed that she had woken up. He put down what he was holding, poured her a glass of water, picked her up, and held her against his chest, preparing to feed her water.

Xue Huan didn't let him feed her. She took it herself and gulped it down in a few gulps.

I drank a little too quickly and some water flowed from the corner of my mouth.

"I'm so thirsty." Xue Huan was about to wipe the water stains from the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand, but Pei Ji grabbed her wrist.

"Hanhuan, don't waste it, let me do it." He lowered his head and sucked the water from her lips into his mouth.

Xue Huan: “…”

After licking the water stains, he moved to her lips and tasted them.

A short absence is better than a new marriage.

Xue Huan opened her mouth and entangled her lips and tongue with his.

"Brother Huo—" Ming Wan suddenly pushed the door open, "Oh no! A zombie broke in!"

Xue Huan was startled and wanted to end the kiss, but Pei Ji chased her and kissed her twice before letting her go.

"Brother Huo, let's get out quickly, otherwise Xiaoshan and the others won't be able to hold on." Ming Wan stared at the two of them and urged them again.

Pei Ji ignored her, wiped Xue Huan's lips with his fingertips, and handed her the carved wooden sword. "This is a peach wood sword. It will be more effective against zombies."

"Really? Let me try." Xue Huan took the sword and walked out first, eager to test the power of this peach wood sword.

She had seen on TV that peach wood could defeat zombies, and she wanted to get a peach wood sword to try, but she had never come across a peach tree. Even if she did, it would be dead and useless.

This peach wood sword must have been made from a branch of a mutant peach tree. It feels quite heavy in the hand, like an iron sword, and it also exudes a fresh woody fragrance.

Pei Ji looked at her eager look, chuckled, and followed her out.

The one that broke into the yard was a hairy zombie with red hair.

There are eight levels of zombies, from the strongest to the weakest, they are purple zombie, white zombie, green zombie, hairy zombie, flying zombie, wandering zombie, crouching zombie, and undecayed bones.

The hairy zombie has already left the ranks of low-level zombies. Its body is hard and invulnerable to swords and guns. It is also agile and can easily jump over houses and climb trees.

It is even not afraid of fire or sunlight and can go out in broad daylight.

More importantly, Mao Jiang has basically regained some consciousness and understands tactics.

It can be said that the hairy zombie is a small boss among zombies, and most people will basically die if they encounter it.

Xiaoshan and others mentioned by Mingwan were all injured, and some were lying on the ground. It was not known whether they had been killed by the Mao zombies or had fainted from serious injuries.

Seeing that the Mao Jiang was about to grab a person and put him to his mouth, Xue Huan immediately sped up and rushed forward, stabbing the Mao Jiang with a sword.

When Pei Ji saw her risky moves, his heart immediately jumped up, fearing that she would fight with the zombie and hurt the baby in her belly. He immediately flew forward, and with a flash of sword, he arrived first, and the zombie's body was separated.

When landing, Pei Ji grabbed Xue Huan's waist, brought her away from the zombies, and landed her steadily in the distance.

Bang!

The zombie fell down, and its head rolled to Mingwan's feet.

The man who was originally caught by the zombie fell to the ground, covering his neck and coughing violently.

Pei Ji asked him, "How did this hairy zombie get in?"

There is a mutant willow tree guarding the yard. Logically, the hairy zombie should not be able to break through its defense and break in.

"Ahem, I don't know either. By the time we noticed it, the hairy zombie had already come over."

Pei Ji stared at the hairy zombie that had been killed, looking thoughtful.

Ming Wan said, "For safety's sake, let's burn this hairy zombie quickly."

Zombies are creatures with extremely strong vitality. Even if their heads are chopped off, they still have a chance to resurrect, so we have to hurry and burn them to ashes.

A bonfire was set up, and under the gaze of everyone, the body and head of the hairy zombie were thrown into the fire and gradually burned to ashes.

Looking at the dancing flames, Ming Wan suggested, "Brother Huo has found a wife. It's a happy occasion. Why don't we celebrate tonight? I just found a jar of wine a while ago, and it's still unopened."

"Miss Ming, it's not very nice of you to find the wine and hide it."

"Fuck you! Miss Ming found the wine with her own skill, why should she give it away?"

"Then why are you willing to take it out now?"

"Why are you asking so many questions? Isn't it enough to have some wine to drink? I haven't had any alcohol in ages. Just thinking about the taste makes my stomach start to churn."

“Drink, drink!”

Everyone cheered happily.

Pei Ji naturally couldn't refuse and spoil the fun, so he nodded: "Okay, but while we can celebrate, we still can't let our guard down. If zombies get in again, we won't be able to keep our heads down."

Sitting around the fire, everyone enjoyed the little food and a jar of wine for most of the night.

Xue Huan fell asleep leaning against Pei Ji without realizing it.

Pei Ji picked her up and said, "Huanhuan is pregnant and can't stand it. I'll take her back first."

No one tried to keep him.

After returning to the room and getting on the bed, Xue Huan woke up instead, "Um, why are we back?"

Pei Ji nuzzled her face with the tip of his nose and said, "Sleepy cat, of course I brought you back."

It's late at night and no one will come to disturb me.

Pei Ji's long-accumulated thoughts suddenly burst out, and Xue Huan also responded to him enthusiastically.

But when he wanted to go further, she suddenly stopped him and said, "No."

Pei Ji thought she was worried that being intimate with her would hurt the baby in her belly, "Hanhan, the doctor said it will be fine after three months. I will be very careful-"

However, Xue Huan wasn't worried about this at all. Instead, she was worried, "I haven't showered in a long time. You shouldn't shower either, right?"

After all, this place is so short of water that there is not even enough drinking water for daily use.
