If Mr. Shi still uses the same fierce tone as before, Haozi will most likely lose control of his temper and vent it.

But he said calmly: He could ask for leave and leave quietly.

The anger in Haozi's heart was stuck in his chest, with nowhere to vent. He threw the work clothes in his hand on Shi's father and strode away.

Father Shi looked at the hat with chili oil still in his arms and was speechless.

They were the ones who refused to rest, and now they are the ones who are losing their temper.

What the hell.

Father Shi walked into the snack processing factory with a gloomy face and continued his work tasks for the day.

After Haozi strode away, he walked to the living area. Not far away was the dormitory building where he rented a house. Haozi took a deep breath, lowered one foot to the grass, and put his hands on his hips.

I accidentally caught a glimpse of Mingliang and his wife sitting on the benches. Mingliang was holding his child who was only a few months old in his arms.

Seeing the smile on Mingliang's face, Haozi's face froze.

When they were in Xinxing Base, he and Mingliang were both top-notch team captains. The base commander of Xinxing Base provided them both with the same welfare benefits, and he never felt that he was inferior to Mingliang. But after arriving in Shuguang City, a watershed began to appear.

The Lord of Shuguang City, Xu Bai, prefers Mingliang.

A few months ago, he took Mingliang to South City for a mission. After coming back from each trip, he noticed that Mingliang's life was much better than before.

And what about him?

Haozi looked down at his pants that had turned white from washing, and then looked at his bright, happy and fulfilling life, and he felt even more annoyed.

Haozi couldn't help but take a few steps forward.

Then Mingliang's wife said, "Is our child really okay? Even though it's the end of the world, I'm still worried that people will look at her strangely in the future."

Not long after the child was born, Qi Yueyue was still immersed in the joy of giving birth successfully, and felt that Mingliang and the others were absolutely right.

In the apocalypse, who cares what the child looks like? It’s great enough if the child can be born safely.

But in the past month or two, she watched the grass on her head growing bigger and bigger, and she was worried that her child might be in danger. She was also worried that if the thing on her head grew bigger and bigger, others would call her child a monster.

Oh no!

Bright kid has a problem.

Haozi's eyes lit up and he couldn't help feeling a little happy. He walked forward quietly again, ready to listen carefully to what they said.

He thought that Mingliang's family was very happy now, but now it seems that they still have all kinds of troubles.

He wanted to know again what was wrong with the bright child.

"It's okay, don't think too much. Look how cute he is now. Just like the city lord said, he'll be fine when he grows up."

When Haozi took a few more steps forward, Mingliang spotted him. Haozi could only chuckle, "Mingliang, congratulations! I haven't even seen the baby since it was born."

As he said that, Haozi touched his pocket and finally took out his cell phone from it.

"Mingliang, I didn't prepare a red envelope. I'll make it up to you next time."

"It's okay, wait until your first birthday before drinking again."

With this kind of thought, do you still have money left to prepare a birthday party?

Haozi's smile was a little stiff. "Okay, I haven't met your child yet. Let me see if he's as handsome as you."

Without waiting for Mingliang's response, Haozi reached out and touched Mingliang's child's face.

A pungent and spicy smell hit his face, and Mingliang subconsciously shrank back while holding the child. Haozi's hand was still in the child's big cloak, and he just pulled open the hat covering his head, revealing a corner. Haozi couldn't see clearly, but he vaguely saw something green growing on the child's head.

Is this a monster?

Haozi took a step or two back, forcing a smile on his face, and tried his best to look natural, as if he hadn't seen anything.

"Mouse, what did you just do? Your hands smell."

"I just finished work, I'm going to go wash my hands." Haozi is in charge of the spicy area. Even if he wears gloves and uses a machine to install the food, it is inevitable that some of the smell will be picked up if he is not careful.

Haozi hypocritically apologized to Mingliang and smiled.

The moment he turned around and left, Haozi's face darkened.

"Take the baby back home. Haozi is a very rude person. He even touches the baby's face with a smell." Mingliang saw that the child was about to cry, so he coaxed him and carried him upstairs.

…

"There are monsters in Dawn City."

"Someone gave birth to a child with some weird things on its head, just like the mutated zombies with long arms in the zombie apocalypse. Could it be that the child will mutate into a zombie when he grows up? Is this just the incubation period when he was little?"

"The cause of the mutant zombie outbreak in the Xinxing base is always dormant in the body, isn't it? Could this child be the same?"

“…”

In Shuguang City, only Mingliang's family had a child. None of the other residents were even pregnant, so everyone immediately locked their eyes on Mingliang's family.

On Mingliang's way home after work, people always looked at him with puzzled eyes.

Mingliang didn't understand. He touched his face and looked up and down at his clothes but didn't see anything wrong.

Later, a neighbor who was still on good terms with him pulled him over and asked quietly, "Mingliang, we are neighbors. No matter what happens, it's better to be close to your neighbor. Tell me honestly, is this true?"

Mingliang saw his neighbor looking up and away, afraid that someone passing by might hear their conversation.

"Tell me the truth, is there something wrong with your child? This way I can be mentally prepared. Our two houses are next door, so close. If something happens, it will be bad for everyone."

Seeing Mingliang standing there in a daze, the neighbor's heart skipped a beat and he even took a few steps back.

During the zombie wave, everyone had witnessed the harm of the long-armed zombies. Now that a child who looked abnormal had appeared, it was no wonder they were overthinking it. What if someone from Dawn City turned into a zombie? That would be terrible.

He came to Dawn City relatively early and experienced a scene where acid rain hit and some people turned into zombies.

"So everyone knows? That's why they're looking at me so strangely?"

Mingliang only realized now that some people were looking at him with fear in their eyes.

So this group of people think that his child is a monster, and the parents who can give birth to a monster are also monsters?

But he and Qi Yueyue had never revealed the child's face in front of outsiders, and always wrapped the child tightly. How did these people know?

The neighbor was a little scared, but he had lived with Mingliang's family for more than half a year, so he told Mingliang what he knew.

No one knew where the rumor started, but by the time he found out, it had already spread widely.

Mingliang gritted his teeth, wishing he could find the person who talked nonsense and beat him up.

"It's a rat!"
