Chapter 38 Mutant Black Cat
Yu Xiang put all the remaining canned food into the game's inventory.
After putting it away, she turned around and clung to Qiao Yan like a little tail, tugging at Qiao Yan's clothes and saying with a wronged look, "Yan Yan, one of my cans is missing, and it's a fish can."
Qiao Yan frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, said, "Could it be that Qin Zhuo and Chen Yunfei took it?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiang's eyes lit up instantly, as if she had found a clue. She quickly nodded and said, "Then I'll go ask!"
After saying that, she ran like a little cannonball to Qin Zhuo and Chen Yunfei, who were setting up a tent.
She tilted her head back and asked, "Did you take any of my canned food?"
Qin Zhuo and Chen Yunfei exchanged a glance, shook their heads, and said in unison, "We didn't take it."
Upon hearing this, Youxiang pouted and, like a wronged little rabbit, ran back to Qiao Yan's side.
She angrily picked up a twig and jabbed it into the ground as if trying to punch a hole in it. "Yan Yan, my canned food has really been stolen!"
The little zombie has plenty of cans of food, but it can't be stolen by anyone else; not a single one can be missing.
Looking at her pitiful appearance, Qiao Yan patted her head and analyzed, "No one came here just now. If someone had taken canned food, we would have seen it immediately. Could it be that you misremembered the number of cans?"
The absent-minded little pomelo is capable of doing things like this.
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiang lowered her head and began to doubt herself, wondering if she had really remembered it wrong.
But in her heart, she thought, "How could I be so smart and capable as to make a mistake?"
At this moment, the easygoing Chen Yunfei straightened up, patted the dust off his hands, and said, "The tent is set up. You guys come and rest for a bit. You'll have to keep watch for the rest of the night later."
The four of them had sat together beforehand to discuss keeping watch that night.
Chen Yunfei suggested that Youxiang didn't need to sleep and could stay up all night.
But as soon as he said this, he was met with strong opposition from Qin Zhuo and Qiao Yan.
Qin Zhuo frowned and said seriously, "That won't do. How can we sleep soundly at night if we leave Xiaoyouzi to keep watch alone?"
Qiao Yan nodded in agreement.
Finally, after some discussion, they decided that the boys would stay up for the first half of the night and the girls for the second half, since the boys would have to drive the next day and their mental state was very important.
When Yu Xiang heard that she had to keep watch at night, she shook her head. She didn't want to have dark circles under her eyes; that would look awful. So she resolutely refused.
Qin Zhuo's eyes darted around, and he began to coax Youxiang. He said with a grin, "Little Youxiang, zombies are different from humans. If you sleep for half a night, you won't have dark circles under your eyes."
Yuxiang, that silly and adorable little thing, was easily fooled by Qin Zhuo and agreed without even questioning the truth of his words.
Time returns to the present.
Seeing Youxiang's lack of enthusiasm, Qiao Yan couldn't help but pinch her soft little face and said with a smile, "Alright, alright, stop thinking about those canned foods. The tents are all set up, let's go rest."
Yuka responded listlessly, "Okay."
She was still fuming inside. How could someone as smart and capable as her possibly misremember the number of cans?
Some wicked thief must have stolen her canned food.
Hmph, she's determined to catch that little thief!
In the first half of the night, Qiao Yan had already fallen into a deep sleep, her breathing long and even.
Yuka obediently placed her hands on her stomach with her eyes tightly closed.
But inside her little head, it was like a high-speed motor, buzzing as she thought of ways to catch the thief.
Hehe, the little thief likes canned food, so she'll use canned food as bait to lure the snake out of its hole!
That's a brilliant idea! She's so clever!
(＞＜)
Looking around, there's no zombie as clever as her now; she's the best little zombie ever!
Yu Xiang was blissfully lost in her own narcissism, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.
"Little Yuzu, it's time to get up and keep watch!" Qiao Yan's voice rang out in the tent, but Yu Xiang was engrossed in her own little world and didn't hear it at all.
Qiao Yan called out several more times before Youxiang finally snapped out of her narcissism.
She opened her eyes and replied with a smile, "Okay, off to keep watch!"
As he spoke, he quickly got up and, like a happy little deer, cheerfully walked out of the tent.
Qiao Yan watched Youxiang's bouncy figure and felt a little puzzled.
Why is Little Yuzu suddenly so happy?
I was feeling down about the canned food earlier.
"Zhuozhuo, Brother Chen, you two should go and get some rest!"
Yuxiang walked briskly to Qin Zhuo and Chen Yunfei, waving her little hand and saying.
Chen Yunfei yawned widely, stretched, and muttered as he walked toward the tent, "Little Yuzi is so energetic, unlike me who's exhausted."
Looking at the unusually excited Youxiang, Qin Zhuo felt uneasy. Was this little guy going to cause trouble again?
He held onto Youxiang's hand, giving her a few more instructions before heading towards the tent, turning back every few steps.
Qin Zhuo and Qiao Yan, who was on night watch, walked towards each other.
Qin Zhuo stopped and said with a worried look, "Keep an eye on Xiao Youzi. She's a little too excited. Don't let anything go wrong."
Qiao Yan nodded slightly and gave Qin Zhuo a reassuring look.
After Qin Zhuo and Chen Yunfei entered the tent, Qiao Yan sat down next to Youxiang, looking at a can of fruit and a bundle of rope on the ground with a puzzled expression.
She gently touched Yuzuru's shoulder and asked, "Little Yuzuru, what are you doing?"
Yu Xiang was intently fiddling with the rope when she heard Qiao Yan's question. She looked up, her eyes sparkling.
"I'm setting a trap. I still think someone stole my canned food. If someone takes the can, they'll be tripped by this rope and their feet will be tied up, so the thief won't be able to escape. Yan Yan, can you help me set it up?"
Qiao Yan watched as You Xiang frantically fiddled with the rope and stepped forward to help.
Although she didn't really believe that anyone had stolen the canned food, and even if someone had, why would they only steal one can?
But seeing how enthusiastic Yuzuru was, she couldn't bear to spoil her fun, so she decided to just play along with Yuzuru.
"Mission accomplished!"
Yu Xiang put her hands on her hips, her eyes sparkling as she stared at the carefully laid trap under the tree, her little face full of undisguised pride.
Hmph, you little thief, you can't escape now! I'll catch you red-handed!
Meanwhile, on that lush, green tree, a mutated black cat with shiny black fur was lazily lying down, its tail swaying back and forth.
Its emerald-like eyes were now glancing contemptuously at the canned fruit emitting a sweet aroma under the tree, a clear hint of disdain flashing in them.
I don't like this kind of canned fruit at all!
