Chapter 147 Bai Chi, who loves to overthink
After a while, Qiao Yue came downstairs, her face beaming with barely suppressed excitement.
"I'm ready, let's get going!"
She wore a light blue dress, the hem of which swayed gently with her movements, like a small flower blooming in the desolate wasteland of the apocalypse.
Hearing the sound, Youxiang turned around and looked at Qiao Yue. Her gaze lingered on Qiao Yue's face for a moment, and she couldn't help but be stunned. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. "Yueyue, aren't you going a little overboard? Why are you putting on makeup?"
Qiao Yue had meticulously applied exquisite makeup, her eyes were bright and captivating, and her cheeks were flushed with a faint blush, making her look radiant.
Qiao Yue quickly stepped forward, affectionately took Youxiang's arm, rested her head on her shoulder, and said with a grin, "It's been too long since I've gone out, and I'm so excited just thinking about going out. Besides, I'm dressing up beautifully to make you look good, so that others can see that you have a super beautiful friend."
Yu Xiang's lips twitched slightly.
Qiao Yue tilted her head and asked, "Isn't that right?"
Yu Xiang quickly waved her hand and said with a smile, "Yes, yes, of course you make me look good. You look so beautiful, I can't take my eyes off you."
Hearing what Youxiang said, Qiao Yue happily said, "I recently researched a new makeup look, and I feel it's especially suitable for you, Youxiang."
Upon hearing this, Youxiang almost lost her boss persona. She pretended to be calm and said, "Really? Then Yueyue, you give it a try for me tomorrow."
Even zombies need to look good, right? She hasn't worn any nice clothes in a while, and there are so many piled up in her game inventory, so don't waste them.
If she weren't busy, she would have asked Yueyue to try it on for her right now.
At this moment, Bai Chi, who had been following behind, looked at Youxiang and Qiao Yue walking ahead and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
It turns out that the love of beauty transcends species; both humans and zombies have a pursuit of beauty.
He subconsciously looked down at himself.
Shouldn't he also take care of himself?
Otherwise, the boss always says he's ugly, even though he's quite handsome among zombies. Maybe if he's groomed, the boss will find him more pleasing to the eye and will value him even more.
Half an hour later, a pink little car slowly came to a stop at the foot of the mountain.
One person and two corpses got out of the car. The zombies guarding the mountain spotted Youxiang at a glance and immediately shouted in unison, "Hello, Boss!"
Yu Xiang nodded slightly and said calmly, "Yes, I need to go up the mountain."
It feels so good to be the boss!
My face is a bit stiff, so I can't make big facial expressions.
The zombies quickly made way, and Youxiang led Qiao Yue and Bai Chi up the mountain.
The mountain path was rugged and uneven, covered with rocks of varying sizes and tangled branches.
As Qiao Yue walked, she looked around curiously. When she saw that there were still many empty terraced fields on the mountain, she couldn't help but stop and point to the empty spaces, asking, "Little Youzi, there are still many empty places on this mountain. It would be such a waste not to plant something on them."
Yu Xiang looked in the direction Qiao Yue was pointing and nodded. "These won't be empty later; we'll plant things in them. But right now, the most important thing is to plant Corpse Fruit. We need to solve the zombies' food problem first, otherwise no one will be in the mood to work."
Qiao Yue nodded thoughtfully, "It's good that you have a plan. I trust your arrangements."
A dozen minutes later.
Qiao Yue staggered, panting heavily as she leaned against a thick tree. Her chest heaved violently, and her forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat that rolled down her cheeks.
She was out of breath. "I'm so tired! It's been so long since I've exercised, my stamina has dropped so much. And this weather is so hot, it's like it's baking me. This awful weather is killing me."
Youxiang stepped forward, took Qiao Yue's arms with both hands, and said with concern, "Yueyue, let me support you, let's walk slowly."
Qiao Yue glanced weakly at You Xiang, who was supporting her, her eyes full of envy, and said, "Little You is the best. Little You, you haven't been exercising lately, but you seem to have no energy loss at all, and you're still so energetic."
Yuka tilted her head slightly and pondered for a moment, "Maybe it's because I'm a zombie. Zombies' physical abilities are quite different from humans'."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Yue couldn't help but sigh, "I really envy you!"
Yu Xiang gently patted Qiao Yue's hand. "Starting tomorrow, I'll exercise with you, and we'll slowly regain our strength."
Qiao Yue's eyes lit up. "Okay, you must supervise me then."
At this moment, Bai Chi, who had been silently following behind, thought to himself: Boss is so good to this human! He cares about her so much. I wish I could receive such care from Boss.
After walking for another five or six minutes, Qiao Yue was too exhausted to walk any further. Her steps slowed down, and her voice carried a hint of resentment, "Aren't we there yet? I feel like my legs are going to break."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yuka stopped in her tracks. "We're here!"
Qiao Yue looked up and saw a dark forest in front of her, with strangely shaped corpse fruits hanging from the trees, like little black lanterns.
The zombies responsible for tending the orchard moved slowly through the woods, their figures appearing and disappearing among the trees, occasionally letting out low growls.
Qiao Yue couldn't help but shudder and subconsciously touched her arm. "At first glance, it looks like a scene from a horror movie. It's really creepy. It feels like the zombies inside could rush out and kill people at any moment."
Yuka's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Really? To me, all of this looks like delicious food."
As she spoke, Youxiang casually picked a corpse fruit from the tree, examined it carefully in her hand, and then looked at Bai Chi, asking, "How does this corpse fruit taste? Is it different from the one I gave you before?"
Bai Chi: "Boss, I haven't tried it, so I don't know. I've been guarding this place the whole time. Without your orders, I wouldn't dare to steal any food. I've also repeatedly warned the zombies here not to steal any food. We have to wait for you to decide."
Yu Xiang patted Bai Chi on the shoulder, her eyes full of approval. "Not bad! Very well-mannered. Here, you can try this."
As she spoke, she gently tossed the freshly picked corpse fruit to Bai Chi.
We don't even know what this Corpse Fruit tastes like, so let Bai Chi be the guinea pig and test it out. Anyway, it won't kill him.
Yu Xiang's casual gesture moved Bai Chi so much that his eyes welled up with tears.
He looked at the Corpse Fruit in his hand, secretly pleased with himself.
The boss actually gave him the first corpse fruit on the mountain. Sure enough, in the boss's heart, he was the most favorite little brother. Du Rong, that female corpse, was no match for him.
