The clown monster was obviously very angry, but Lu Ziting and the others were not easily scared.
He raised his eyebrows and asked directly, "How are you going to be rude to us?"
As soon as Lu Ziting finished speaking, the clown monster snorted softly, and the bulb of the street lamp closest to them exploded with a crackling sound, sparks and lightning, and sparks flew everywhere.
Seeing this, the talkative Lu Ziting decisively fell silent and retreated tactically, quickly waving his hand and began to persuade him, "Young man, don't be impulsive, calm down, and don't burn down your Happy City."
The clown's temper has always been capricious, and he changes his attitude faster than turning the pages of a book. Seeing Lu Ziting showing weakness, he was complacent and said, "Are you scared? If you are, just take out the key."
"I think you misunderstood. We don't have the key at all," Lu Ziting refused to admit it. He began to fool the clown monster and said sincerely, "We haven't touched the lock. We don't know why your key can't open it."
Lu Ziyun nodded in agreement, "Yes, we wanted to stop you from letting the zombies in, but the problem with the lock has nothing to do with us."
Huo Shen continued, "I'm not happy with what you said. We thought about changing the locks before, but there was electricity on the door, so we didn't dare to touch it."
These people sang in unison, and each of them looked like they had studied at a performing arts academy. They used all their acting skills from playing "Who is the Undercover" to fool the clown monster.
He looked suspicious, "Really? The key can't open the lock, isn't it a trick of yours?"
"Of course not. Besides, although we would like to, we don't have the ability or means to do so." Several people nodded in tacit understanding.
The clown was skeptical and snorted coldly, "It's better if it has nothing to do with you, otherwise I will definitely electrocute you all to death!"
After threatening Huo Shen and the others, the clown monster continued to think about how to open the lock.
He glanced sideways at Grandma Lu and asked, "Do we have a chainsaw here?"
The lock cannot be pried open, and the clown monster is not strong enough, so it can only be cut open with a chainsaw.
Grandma Lu thought about it carefully and nodded, "Yes, it's in the employees' work warehouse."
Seeing this, Tang Lun shouted angrily, "Grandma Lu, if you let the zombies in, the survivors in Happy City will die!"
What he hoped in his heart was that Grandma Lu would be willing to persuade the clown monster to stop the so-called zombie reception day, but the old woman obviously would not do so.
Tang Lun looked painful.
Grandma Lu was stunned for a moment. She looked at the clown and spoke slowly, "Xiao Lun, no matter what the clown wants to do, I will not stop him...as long as he is happy."
"Have you forgotten Aning?" Tang Lun took a deep breath, "Aning lost his life to zombies. Now you don't care about the lives of other survivors at all?"
Grandma Lu opened her mouth, her expression became bitter, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just looked at the clown and said to him, "Wait here for me, I'll go get the chainsaw."
After saying that, Grandma Lu turned around and staggered away from the gate of Happy City.
Tang Lun gritted his teeth and tried hard to control himself so as not to stop Grandma Lu.
He took a deep breath, looked at the clown with red eyes, and said in a cold voice, "Grandma Lu used to be a kind and good-hearted old woman, but after being with you, she became like this. Are you satisfied?"
The clown looked at Tang Lun's angry expression, and his mood improved a lot. He nodded with a smile and said, "Grandma Lu loves me the most, of course I am satisfied."
Tang Lun clenched his fingers into fists, wanting to punch the mean clown in the face.
Seeing that he was in an unstable emotional state, Huo Shen held his shoulders to stop him.
"Grandma Lu, bring me the chainsaw so I can release the zombies. Why don't you leave?" The clown looked at the dark zombies outside the iron gate with a happy expression, "If you don't run away, you will have no chance."
Huo Shen coughed lightly and asked calmly, "What will you do if the chainsaw can't open the lock? Will you still hold the zombie reception day?"
"Of course I will open it," the clown laughed and shook his head, "If the chainsaw doesn't work, I will naturally think of other ways to open the door. Anyway, the reception day will go on as usual."
Huo Shen nodded lightly and continued to ask, "Under what circumstances would you give up on starting the zombie reception day?"
"When the zombie reception day started, I saw the survivors in Happy City fighting against the zombies desperately, and I admired their struggles. I was very happy." The clown curled his lips, his expression happy and happy. "The world after the apocalypse is the best for me. I am much happier and more comfortable than before the apocalypse.
Upon hearing this, Lu Ziting and the others couldn't help but complain in their hearts. The clown monster was indeed a pervert with an abnormal mind. He took pleasure in toying with others and simply didn't treat people as human beings.
The clown continued with a playful smile, "So the zombie reception day is my fun and source of happiness. I will continue to hold the reception day until I lose interest~".
Huo Shen lowered his eyes, pursed his lips, and spoke slowly, "If Grandma Lu tried to stop you, would you stop?"
"She won't," the clown said with a firm and confident look, "No matter what I do, Grandma Lu won't stop me."
Huo Shen; "What if?"
The clown curled his lips and answered straightforwardly, "If she doesn't want me to hold a zombie reception day, then it's okay for me not to do it."
In the apocalypse, the only thing Grandma Lu cares about is the clown, and although he is crazy, he acts according to his own wishes.
But in the clown's heart, he also took Grandma Lu's feelings into consideration.
Therefore, if Grandma Lu had advised him, the zombie reception day could have been cancelled.
Upon hearing this, Huo Shen looked at Lu Ziyun and realized that as long as they persuaded Grandma Lu, the problem could be successfully resolved.
Just then, Grandma Lu came over with an electric saw in her hand.
Lu Ziyun moved closer to Pei Yu and whispered, "Can you break the chainsaw?"
Pei Yu nodded slightly, lowered his eyelids, and his gaze fell on the electric saw in Grandma Lu's hand.
At this point, its internal metal structure has changed, and even if the clown monster electrifies it, it cannot be used.
The clown is holding a sharp chainsaw in his hand, and with his purple suit and painted face that looks gaudy, he really looks like a chainsaw maniac killer.
Immediately afterwards, a bluish-blue electric current passed through his fingers, making a crackling sound.
The clown monster was like a human generator, supplying electricity to the chainsaw, but when he pressed the switch, the chainsaw did not respond.
Lu Ziting took the opportunity to speak, "The chainsaw must be broken, so it doesn't work even if it's powered on."
The clown frowned and his face darkened. He turned his head to look at Lu Ziting and asked, "Can you repair it?"
Lu Ziting had no idea how to fix this thing, but he thought that it would take time to convince Grandma Lu.
He patted his chest and nodded seriously, "Of course I can. Give me the chainsaw and I promise to fix it for you."
"Okay," the clown handed him the chainsaw, "give me some speed to fix it."
"Leave it to me, but even a good cook cannot cook without rice. You have to give me the tools," Lu Ziting nodded, blinked and continued to fool people.
Upon hearing this, the clown looked at Grandma Lu and asked, "Are there any repair tools in the warehouse?"
"Yes, it's on the shelf," she nodded.
"Okay, I'll get it."
After saying that, the clown turned around and was about to leave, but then he pulled Lu Ziting along and said, "Come with me."
Lu Ziting was unwilling to do so, fearing that the clown would shock him if he got upset.
He shook his head like a rattle, "No need, you just need to get something, why do you have to bring me along?"
"Stop talking nonsense and follow me," the clown's face became impatient.
Lu Ziting had no choice but to follow the clown to the warehouse.
Lu Ziyun looked at his pitiful appearance and said politely to the clown, "My brother is timid and can't stand being scared. Don't bully him."
The clown rolled his eyes and said, "If I didn't suspect him of lying to me, I would never be willing to take him to the warehouse."
As soon as he finished speaking, he said to Grandma Lu, "Wait for me here," then he took Lu Ziting's arm and left together.
Now, only Grandma Lu and Huo Shen and his group are at the gate of Happy City.
Lu Ziyun looked at the old-looking Grandma Lu, organized his words, and spoke softly, "Grandma Lu, the clown monster will only listen to you. As long as you persuade him and stop him, he won't let the zombies in."
Grandma Lu looked at the large number of zombies outside the iron gate with a calm gaze, and replied in a hoarse voice, "I have already said it in the cafe. I will support and accompany the clown no matter what he does, so you don't need to persuade me..."
At this moment, the old man showed a special stubbornness.
Lu Ziyun frowned, "In the doomsday, all everyone hopes for is to live in peace, but the zombie reception day causes too much harm to the survivors."
"Please think about this carefully," Huo Shen's eyes fell on Grandma Lu, "We know that you are now dependent on the clown monster. You also regard him as a relative and hope that he is happy. But if this happiness is built on the pain of others, is it really a good thing?"
Lu Ziyun and Huo Shen took turns persuading Grandma Lu, but she remained unmoved. They looked at each other, helplessness appearing in their eyes.
Tang Lun took a deep breath and asked word by word, "Grandma Lu, if Aning were still alive, would he be happy if he knew that you were doing these things with the clown monster?"
When she heard the word "Aning", Grandma Lu was stunned for a moment and her expression changed.
But in the end she just sighed and said softly, "But Aning is gone... I only have the clown monster now."
The clown is now the old man's spiritual sustenance. She stubbornly wants to make him happy, so she doesn't care whether it hurts others.
Grandma Lu refused to listen and left them at a loss. Lu Ziyun pursed his lips and whispered, "It seems we have no choice but to confront the clown monster head-on."
Huo Shen nodded, and his big hand touched his waist and abdomen, faintly revealing the outline of a pistol.
After leaving two of the hot weapons collected from the police station to the surviving teachers and students of Beijing Institute of Technology, the rest were stored in Sang Chi's space.
However, Huo Shen had the habit of carrying a pistol with him, so he put a gun under his shirt jacket.
Lu Ziyun took a look and said, "Should I go find Sang Chi? The other ones are with him."
According to his thinking, Huo Shen was the only one with a weapon. If they wanted to deal with the clown monster, the more people with guns the better.
"No need, the clown might come back soon," Huo Shen shook his head, his voice very low and light, "and he is a mutant, to deal with him, we can only attack him when he is not paying attention. So if we all hold a gun, he will easily find us."
"Okay, I understand," Lu Ziyun nodded and responded softly.
But after a while, instead of the clown and Lu Ziting, two figures, one big and one small, walked towards them hand in hand.
When they saw that it was Sang Chi and Sang Sang, they hurried to greet them.
It turned out that Sangsang woke up after a short nap and asked Sangchi where the other brothers had gone.
Sang Chi glanced at the green clock and saw that it was almost twelve o'clock. He didn't know whether they had successfully stopped the clown from releasing the zombies.
So after thinking it over, he took Sangsang and quietly slipped out of the Ferris wheel to find Huo Shen and the others.
Sang Chi glanced around, looked at Grandma Lu, scratched his head and asked, "What's the situation now? Can we stop the clown monster from holding a zombie reception day?"
"But where did Zi Ting go? Why can't I see him?"
Sang Chi was very curious and was full of doubts, with questions one after another.
Lu Ziyun and the others replied to him and told him what had just happened.
The brothers were talking, and Sangsang seemed to be listening to a mystery. She blinked her watery eyes, let go of Sang Chi's hand, and ran towards Grandma Lu.
Sangsang, who had slept for a while, was now fully refreshed. He skipped towards Grandma Lu because his attention was attracted by the bear headgear placed on the ground.
"Good evening, may I wear the bear mask?" Sangsang raised his head and looked at Grandma Lu with clear eyes, his delicate and fair cheeks full of anticipation.
Grandma Lu looked at the beautiful and lovely little girl in front of her, listened to her soft little voice, smiled lovingly and nodded, "Of course, wear it."
"Thank you," Sangsang smiled with curved eyebrows, revealing her white glutinous rice teeth, and the dimples on her lips were sweet and cute.
She bent down, stretched out her little arms, picked up the bear mask, held it in her arms, and tried hard to put it on her head.
It’s just that the headgear was too big, and when it was lifted up, the little guy’s center of gravity was unstable, and his body was shaking and he almost fell down.
"Let me do it," Grandma Lu smiled and reached out to take the bear headgear and put it on Sangsang's head.
The brown bear headgear was twice as big as Sangsang's head. After putting it on her head, she walked unsteadily.
But Sangsang herself was super excited. She imitated the roar of a bear and kept yelling "Awoo awoo" and said excitedly, "I am now a bear who loves to eat honey. I am super fierce, awoo~"
Grandma Lu couldn't help laughing, but the adult doll headgear didn't fit her well, and she stumbled around as if she would fall at any moment.
Grandma Lu reached out and took the bear hood off Sangsang's head.
"Grandma, do I look like a bear?" Sangsang smiled happily, her cheeks showing a healthy pink.
"What did you call me?" Grandma Lu was stunned for a moment and looked at the lovely little girl in front of her.
"I call you grandma," Sangsang blinked and tilted his head in confusion, "My brothers all call you Grandma Lu, so I call you Grandma too. Did Sangsang call you the wrong one?"
Grandma Lu smiled kindly and shook her head, "You're right, I like to hear you call me grandma."
After saying that, she glanced at Huo Shen and the others from a distance and asked, "Are they all your brothers?"
Sangsang hummed, stretched out his carrot-like little hand, gestured a number, and replied in a crisp voice, "Yes, I have several brothers!"
She raised her little chin slightly and spoke with an extremely proud tone.
Grandma Lu smiled at the cute little girl in front of her, her eyes falling on her messy hair caused by wearing the bear headgear.
She reached out, stroked the little girl's head, and said, "Who combed your hair? It's a mess now. Let me help you braid it again."
"Okay," Sangsang nodded her head and did not refuse. She thought about it carefully and replied softly, "My hair was combed for me today by Brother Huo Shen."
At this point, Sangsang clenched his fists and said with full enthusiasm, "When I grow up one year older, I can comb my hair into buns by myself."
Grandma Lu didn't have a comb, so she used her fingers to smooth Sangsang's soft hair. She smiled and asked, "How old are you now?"
"I'm three years old. When I'm four, I'll be a big baby," Sangsang replied with a smile, her soft and sweet voice full of happiness.
Grandma Lu skillfully braided a small braid for Sangsang. As she listened to the little girl's happy voice, her fingers that were braiding her hair paused.
She turned her head to look at the group of zombies outside the iron gate. The dark mass was scary.
And when all these zombies are let in, can the three-year-old girl in front of her survive the zombie reception day safely?
After a brief moment of absent-mindedness, Grandma Lu lowered her eyes and continued to braid Sangsang's hair, finally giving her a pigtail hairstyle.
Sangsang reached out and touched the new hairstyle on her head with sparkling eyes. She jumped for joy and said happily, "Thank you, grandma! I'm going to show my new hairstyle to my brothers now!"
After saying that, the little girl turned around and ran away like a monkey.
Grandma Lu followed behind Sangsang and walked slowly towards Lu Ziyun and the others.
Sangsang happily showed off her new hairstyle to her brothers. She pointed her little hand at her head and said in a baby voice, "Brothers, look, Sangsang's new hairstyle~".
Huo Shen and the others told Sang Chi everything that had just happened, but they didn't expect that Sang Sang had "changed his attitude".
They smiled and gave thumbs up, praising him generously, "Sangsang's new hairstyle looks so nice, he looks so energetic!"
Sangsang's pigtails look a bit like sky rockets, which perfectly illustrates that fashion perfection depends on the face, so she looks energetic and neat, not tacky.
But they also knew that it was definitely not done by Sangsang herself, so it could only be done by Grandma Lu.
Several people asked, "Did Grandma Lu braid your hair for you?"
"Yeah!" Sangsang nodded his little head vigorously and replied in a crisp voice, "Grandma helped me comb my hair!"
Grandma Lu listened to the little one's baby voice, she smiled lovingly and continued;
"Didn't you want me to persuade the Clown Monster not to hold a zombie reception day?"
"Okay, I agree."
