"Brother Lei," he thought to himself, "Hey, you're really something, but even if I give you a lot more crystal cores, you probably won't be able to take them all!"
Xia Yuhe stared intently at Ye Lei, a hint of worry in her eyes as she spoke.
"I can't take it with me? Haha, what a joke! As long as you have enough crystal cores, bring them over and let's see how many I can't take!"
Ye Lei responded without fear, seemingly full of confidence in himself; he wasn't afraid of a mere guard team.
"Brother Lei, are you really going to say yes to him? He's obviously lying to you!"
Xia Yuhe worriedly reminded Ye Lei, fearing that he might fall into a trap.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing and I have a plan!"
Ye Lei comforted Xia Yuhe, and before returning to the shelter, he rearranged the sturdy defensive walls and towering shooting towers, ready for battle.
He then stepped inside the shelter and began planning his next steps.
When Ye Lei returned to the shelter, everyone rushed from the monitoring room to the living room.
They knew Ye Lei's character well and understood that he would never easily let go of this rare opportunity.
Everyone sat together, eagerly awaiting Ye Lei to share his next plan.
Sure enough, Ye Lei spoke up: "Everyone, you all heard my conversation with that Deputy Captain Liu. I'm going there. Who would like to come with me?"
"Brother Lei, take me with you!"
I want to go too!
"I haven't been out in ages!"
"Exactly, going on adventures with Brother Lei is what makes it exciting."
"Aren't you afraid of dying?"
"With Brother Lei here, what do I have to be afraid of?"
…………
Everyone raised their hands, no one wanting to miss such a great opportunity to exercise.
"Alright, everyone, stop for a second!"
Ye Lei waved his hand, and everyone fell silent.
"This time we're going out to deal with the Corpse King Vulture. It has a flying zombie army that's even larger than the Gale Cheetah. It's extremely dangerous, and I still haven't figured out a strategy to deal with it!"
Ye Lei paused for a moment and looked around.
"In addition to the treacherous army and survivors already infected with the infectious disease, this is no joke. Have you really thought this through?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the entire room fell into a deathly silence. Everyone remained silent, clearly aware that this trip was fraught with danger, far greater than any adventure they had ever undertaken before.
"Brother Lei, please take me with you. My dad is the police chief; he might be able to help in some way!"
It was Beanna who spoke; she bravely stepped forward.
"Yes, that's fine. Plus, you have a sniper rifle, which might be a good help."
Ye Lei took it as an agreement.
"Brother Lei, please take me with you. My dad is the director of the Municipal Energy Bureau, and he has a good relationship with Vice Mayor Ouyang. Maybe he can help you in some way!"
Xia Yuhe also stepped forward.
"But you're pregnant now, so let's forget about such risky things!"
Ye Lei even wants her to have the baby soon, isn't that even better than him!
"Okay, then I'll call my dad and let him know."
"That's fine."
Ye Lei and Xia Fujun were already acquaintances.
"Brother Lei, actually I can recommend someone to you!"
"I'm six months pregnant," Soo-yeon said softly.
"who?"
Ye Lei asked, puzzled.
"Red Boy! You've probably forgotten, haven't you? He's incredibly powerful now, always clamoring to go out and explore. What's even more noteworthy is that the crystal core on his forehead is exactly the same as the Undying Skull, a deep blue color. Does this mean he's become the Corpse King too?"
"What? You're saying that Red Boy evolved into a Corpse King solely through his own power?"
Xiuyan's words shocked Ye Lei.
“If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, why would I have mentioned it to you? If you don’t believe me, you can come with me to see for yourself.”
Soo-yeon suggested.
"Alright, let's not delay, let's go now. Beanna, go and get ready, we're about to set off."
Ye Lei turned to Beanna and gave her instructions.
"Yes, sir!"
After responding, Beanna returned to her bedroom to pack her things.
Once everything was ready, Ye Lei followed Xiu Yan to the door of the children's room.
When they pushed open the door, they saw Red Boy sitting listlessly by the window, his little legs swinging back and forth, his gaze fixed on the distance.
The walls, once scorched black by Red Boy's flames, have now been completely renovated and repainted to a snow-white color.
"Dad, you're here!"
Red Boy turned around and saw Ye Lei, then excitedly jumped down from the window.
"Red Boy, come here and let your father take a look."
"Okay, Dad, you haven't come to see me in so long, I've missed you so much!"
Holy crap, is this really something a zombie would say?
Ye Lei carefully reached out and gently touched the mysterious crystal core on Red Boy's forehead.
The blue crystal core shimmered faintly, like the brightest star in the night sky, radiating an intoxicating charm.
Compared to the crystal core on the forehead of the Undead Skull, it appeared larger and more translucent, as if it contained endless power and mystery.
"Red Boy, do you want to go out and play with Daddy?"
Ye Lei asked softly, his eyes full of affection.
As soon as he finished speaking, Red Boy nodded excitedly, his little face beaming with an expectant smile. Clearly, he couldn't wait to hear about this suggestion.
