Gu Rong was a two-year-old zombie cub. Because he was too small, his short legs couldn't run fast enough to chase prey, so he could only go hungry every day. Prey would pass right under his nos...
Chapter 61 Little Zombie "Baby, I'll teach you how to use hand gestures."
The next morning, Gu Rong woke up, his face pale with fear. Too frightened to care about anything else, he hurriedly called out to 006: [006, I had a dream. I dreamed that the devil ate me. Ah, he swallowed me in one gulp!]
006 was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "Don't be afraid, little host. It's just a dream!"
Gu Rong patted her belly, still feeling a lingering fear.
Scary!
At this time, the main force had already set off again, and he was still carried in the bamboo basket, but this time it was Zhao Jiuquan who carried him.
As soon as he woke up, Zhao Jiuquan did not stop walking, but slightly tilted his head and looked back.
Gu Rong always wanted to eat as soon as he woke up, but he dreamed that the devil had eaten him. At this time, he didn't dare to ask for food. Instead, he pinched his little belly, his little fat legs, and his little chubby face to see if he had gained weight.
006: [? ]
Gu Rong said sadly in a baby voice: [Baby has gained some weight.]
If you get fat, you'll be eaten by sharks.
The happier I was eating yesterday, the sadder I am now.
006 said: [No, no, my little host is the same as yesterday, neither fat nor thin. You won't get fat even if you eat a single bite.]
Gu Rong's voice trembled, convinced that she was fat: "Baby, you ate a lot! Baby, you're fat. If you get fat, the devil will eat you!"
Seeing that Gu Rong was truly frightened, 006 thought for a moment and said, "Little host, you said before that the Devil wanted you to help collect the Devil's key?"
Gu Rong nodded: [Yes!]
006 breathed a sigh of relief: "So, before all the keys are collected, the Devil will definitely not kill the host, his only follower. The Devil still relies on the host to collect the keys. After the keys are collected, we can use the keys to negotiate with Him to make Him not kill the host!"
Gu Rong blinked, then his eyes suddenly lit up and he clenched his two little fists!
Gu Rong: [You don’t have to go hungry anymore, baby?]
006 suppressed a smile: [Yes.]
Gu Rong: [If the devil doesn't kill the cub, the cub will eat himself fat and not be hungry anymore!]
006: [……]
There is no need to make yourself fat.

The tasks of the players are simple, but Gu Rong not only has to extract the zombies' teeth, but also has to find out the relationship between zombies and gold bars.
However, with only two days left, there is still no clue.
Gu Rong himself was not in a hurry at all, because he knew that the devil was counting on him, his little follower, to find the key and would not eat him for the time being. So he relaxed and began to search for food in the system backpack, his mouth never stopping.
Zhao Jiuquan carried him on his back, and vaguely felt that the little cub seemed to be getting heavier little by little, like a small meat dumpling.
Gu Rong went to bed early yesterday, and the system was quite considerate and did not wake him up. Only then did it make a "ding" sound and send a reward reminder sound.
Congratulations to the little zombie, you've played as a little zombie for over 120 hours and unlocked free talk time!
When Gu Rong heard this, he shouted "Hey" and waved his two round little fists happily.
Finally, Zaizai doesn't have to be a little mute anymore.
006 said: [Little host, should we inquire about some clues? ]
Gu Rong said softly: [How do you find out?]
006: [……]
Good question, isn't this the little host's task?
Seeing Gu Rong's calm demeanor, 006 choked up a bit. "Why don't we ask Mayor Wu? He owns the gold bars, and he's trying to catch zombies. He must be a crucial part of it. He must know something."
The more 006 analyzed it, the more it made sense. [Also, why would he capture so many zombies and go all the way to the Yin Mountains? He couldn't just be taking them hiking for exercise, right? Maybe he has a connection to these zombies.]
In summary, the important clue must be Wu Sandeng.
Gu Rong nodded: [Yes! Rong Rong will ask the one-eyed uncle!]
He poked Zhao Jiuquan with his little hand.
Zhao Jiuquan paused slightly, but did not speak.
Gu Rong said: "Brother Daoist Master, Rong Rong wants to come down!"
Zhao Jiuquan bent down, put down the bamboo basket behind him, took the little zombie out and put it on the ground.
Gu Rong's little zombie clothes were all wrinkled, but he smoothed them out with his chubby little hands. His little face was white and tender, and he looked very well-behaved: "Thank you, Taoist Brother."
Zhao Jiuquan shook his head, meaning no need to thank me.
Gu Rong turned around and started running forward. After running for a while, he jumped a few times. He was very dedicated and looked particularly funny.
Zhuang Yu and Shen Hanxiao were right next to them, and they couldn't help but smile when they saw this.
Zhao Jiuquan looked at Gu Rong, and finally couldn't help but sigh with his hand on his forehead, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Gu Rong jumped to Wu Sandeng's side. When Lai Fu saw that Gu Rong woke up, he immediately turned back from the front and pounced on Gu Rong with great enthusiasm.
Wu Sandeng reached out in time to block it.
Lai Fu was so reckless that he pounced on the dog and the cub, sending them tumbling down the hill.
Wu Sandeng turned his head and glanced at the little zombie cub that was walking and jumping beside him. His intact left eye twitched.
But he just glanced at it casually and quickly looked away, tacitly allowing the little zombie to jump around beside him, ignoring him and not taking the initiative to speak.
When they encountered small steps, the big zombies jumped up at once, but Gu Rong couldn't jump up at all. He had always crawled before, but now, he simply reached out and grabbed Wu Sandeng's clothes, lifted his little feet, and used the force to climb up the steps.
He was so small that his entire body almost rested on Wu Sandeng's legs.
After Gu Rong went up, he looked up again and met Wu Sandeng's changeable eyes.
Wu Sandeng: “…”
Gu Rong: “?”
Gu Rong tilted his little head, his face was so cute and chubby, and the yellow talisman on his forehead was stuck very firmly.
Wu Sandeng: “…”
Wu Sandeng was speechless for a moment, then he looked away. Finally, he couldn't help but speak: "You little zombie cub, do you still remember how you became a zombie?"
Gu Rong said, "Well, the baby died of rage because he didn't get to eat a single bite of food!"
Wu Sandeng: “…”
Forget it, let’s stop talking.
He didn't say anything, but the little zombie cub seemed to have turned on a switch. It started chattering non-stop, saying in a baby voice, "Uncle One-Eyed, how did these big zombies turn into zombies?"
006 silently gave the host a thumbs up. What a smart guy, he asked the question right away and asked it so naturally.
However, Wu Sandeng did not speak and automatically ignored the question.
006: [……]
Okay.
If it were an adult, seeing that the other party did not answer, he would definitely stop and not continue to ask questions. But unfortunately, Wu Sandeng was facing a two-year-old cub, who was extremely simple and innocent. He said whatever he thought and did not understand any twists and turns.
Gu Rong raised her snow-white, innocent face and said in a crisp voice, "One-eyed uncle, why don't you speak? Speak!"
Wu Sandeng glanced at him, unmoved.
Gu Rong was surprised and muttered, "Huh? One-eyed uncle has also become a little mute?"
Wu Sandeng: “…”
Gu Rong poked Wu Sandeng with a short finger.
Wu Sandeng lowered his head and looked over.
Gu Rong's face was sincere, and he gestured with his hands: "Uncle One-Eyed, let me teach you how to make gestures. Like this, like this!"
Wu Sandeng: “…………”
Okay, that’s enough!
Wu Sandeng was cornered by the little guy and had to say, "I don't need to learn how to use hand gestures."
Gu Rong's eyes lit up: "Hey, how come the one-eyed uncle can talk again!"
Wu Sandeng: ...Close your eyes and take a deep breath.
Everyone in the live broadcast room almost died of laughter.
[This cute and kind-hearted little kid is even trying to teach Mayor Wu how to use hand gestures. He's already mastered it so quickly, hahaha!]
Mayor Wu was speechless, and the white of his one eye was almost smoking. It was hilarious! [Reward points]]
[The key is that the cub is so serious and unambiguous]
…
Adults like to judge people by their appearance, and Gu Rong's overly young appearance is indeed very deceptive, making people lower their guard.
Wu Sandeng was no exception. There was a two-year-old cub in front of him, and it was difficult to defend himself.
Wu Sandeng was silent for a moment, then spoke slowly, "Those who die with resentment or unresolved worries are more likely to become zombies. These zombies were murdered in their lifetime, and even though they were properly buried after death, their anger remains lingering, and they cannot rest in peace."
"This mountain is called Yinshan. It's a den of zombies. Lead them here and bury them properly. I hope they can dispel their resentment and enter reincarnation soon."
Gu Rong's face was confused, and he didn't understand most of what he said, but that didn't stop him from grasping the key points. He frowned and said, "Who were they before they died? Did One-Eye Uncle know them?"
Wu Sandeng remained silent for a longer time this time, and then he said "hmm" in an almost inaudible voice.
But he didn't want to say anything more, and his expression was a little cold.
Gu Rong was very good at reading people's expressions. As soon as he saw Wu Sandeng's expression, he shut up and stopped asking questions.
Wu Sandeng exuded a low pressure all over his body. Gu Rong didn't ask any questions and ran back to Zhuang Yu and the other two.
Shen Han smiled and said, "Little ghost, what are you going to ask?"
Having gone through two dungeons together, Shen Hanxiao and Zhuang Yu both knew Gu Rong very well and knew that he must have received another mission.
Gu Rong did not hide it: "Zizi wants to know who these big zombies are."
Hearing this, several people seemed to be thinking about something.
Shen Hanxiao touched his chin and thought: "Yeah, where do these zombies come from?"
The three looked at Wu Sandeng. This mayor looked like someone who was not someone to be trifled with. He had a bandit-like air and looked more like a bandit leader than a mayor.
They withdrew their gaze and turned to Huang Daoren, who was wearing a yellow robe and driving away zombies.
Zhuang Yu said, "These zombies were originally driven here by this old Taoist priest from somewhere else. Maybe he knows something."
For three adults to go and gather information would be too blatant and would easily arouse suspicion.
Several people turned their attention to the little cub Gu Rong.
Gu Rong held her little hands in her lap, which were particularly soft.
Shen Hanxiao touched his little head and said, "Little boy, it's time to show your cuteness and lethality. Go and act cute to your Taoist grandpa, and he will definitely tell you everything he knows."
Gu Rong nodded vigorously, her face firm: "Yes!"
Shen Hanxiao: "Come on, little Rongzi!"
Gu Rong raised his little fist and said, "Come on, little Rong!"
Without further ado, Gu Rong jumped towards Huang Daoren.
