Chapter 65 Zombie Attack (Bonus Chapter) Just like the succubus...
As herbivores, deer are relatively gentle in nature and quite friendly towards humans.
So they can live peacefully with the deer, and they can use the river water.
Moreover, the presence of deer actually ensures the safety of the river's source.
The mutated tiger attacked the deer for two reasons: firstly, it might be hunting, and secondly, it might be vying for control of the river.
Once the mutated tiger wins and takes control of the water source, things will get complicated. They'll have to defeat the tiger and retake the area.
Otherwise, why would a carnivorous tiger allow them to get close to that place?
They need to clean the river source regularly, otherwise they will fall into the predicament of having no river again.
This is why Lin Kang immediately sent someone over after receiving the news.
Cheng Zhiyu immediately said, "Let's go take a look!"
The group rushed over and found that there was no movement; the fawn was lying there covered in blood.
The tiger has also disappeared without a trace.
However, there was blood on the ground, so the tiger must have been injured and ran away. It probably didn't get away with it from the deer either.
However, Xiao Lu's condition wasn't good either. Zhou Min gasped, "Holy crap, is she dead?"
The fawn slowly opened its eyes, as if it were cursing with its gaze.
Its condition was indeed not good; its body was heaving rapidly, and it looked like it was about to breathe its last.
Zhou Min coughed lightly and quickly began treating its injuries.
In an instant, the deer's condition improved significantly, and its injuries were completely healed, though it was still somewhat weak.
Just as Cheng Zhiyu was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he saw Xiao Lu's leg, which was infected by the zombie virus. He exclaimed, "The zombie virus has spread!"
Tian Qiao exclaimed upon seeing it: "Wow, it really is!"
The zombie virus is likely spreading because the deer was injured.
However, now is not the time to explore this; we need to deal with it quickly.
They came in a hurry and Lin Jiashu didn't come with them, so they couldn't communicate with Xiaolu. But now it's too late to bring Lin Jiashu back.
Once the zombie virus spreads to the brain, the fawn will completely turn into a zombie deer, and at that point, it will be too late to save it.
They rarely encountered zombified beasts before, because zombies generally don't attack wild animals, but the thought of zombified beasts was enough to make them difficult to deal with.
Without saying much, the group held down the deer, ready to defend against any attack. Then, Tian Manman picked up a large machete and chopped off the zombie-like leg.
The deer let out a pitiful cry, but did not attack. It was unclear whether it knew that Cheng Zhiyu and the others were helping it, or whether its superpowers had been exhausted and it was unable to attack for the time being.
Regardless, Zhou Min seized the time and used his healing abilities.
Fortunately, after the zombified leg was cut off, the virus did not spread further.
Xiao Lu's leg, which was cut off that day, has gradually grown back thanks to Zhou Min's treatment.
The little deer, her eyes half-open and weak, gently nuzzled against Zhou Min, whose lips were pale.
Zhou Min withdrew his hand and said irritably, "Hmph, now you know I'm better?"
The little deer blinked its eyes, its gaze ingratiating, but it was unclear whether it had understood Zhou Min's words.
Little Deer's powers are now completely depleted, and it's estimated that she won't recover for a while. Although the tiger ran away and seems to be injured, it definitely won't be coming anytime soon.
However, the group was still uneasy, fearing that something else might take advantage of the deer's weakness, so they decided not to leave and wait until the deer recovered before leaving.
The little deer was lying there weakly at first, but as expected of a mythical beast, Zhou Min fed it some water, and it was finally able to move. It looked at Cheng Zhiyu longingly and rubbed against him.
Tian Qiao laughed: "This is such a foodie, he probably wants to eat pumpkin again."
Cheng Zhiyu sighed helplessly. They had agreed on three a day, but now, considering Xiaolu's injury, he figured it wouldn't hurt to let her eat a little more.
Pumpkin happens to be a mutated plant, so eating it will help the fawn recover.
At first, Xiao Lu ate the pumpkin while lying down, but later she couldn't stay lying down anymore, so she ate while half-lying down. After finishing, she looked longingly at Cheng Zhiyu.
Cheng Mo: "That's all. Do you know how tiring it is to grow vegetables in Zhiyu?"
Cheng Zhiyu, who was initially a little soft-hearted and wanted to feed another one, was speechless.
never mind.
The little deer was heartbroken to see that it was really gone.
"I think this guy's a real drama queen," Tian Qiao commented.
Everyone shook their heads. Isn't that right?
They stayed until the fawn had almost fully recovered before leaving.
The next day, still feeling uneasy, he brought Lin Jiashu with him again.
The deer kept making "yoyo" sounds, and Cheng Zhiyu asked curiously, "What is it saying?"
Lin Jiashu's lips twitched: "Call that tiger a dead tiger, say that it's recovered and become stronger, and that when that dead tiger comes back, it will definitely not show any mercy."
Cheng Zhiyu laughed; this little deer monster holds a grudge.
Lin Jiashu asked Xiaolu, "Can we draw a vial of your blood? It's just a little bit, it won't hurt much."
The little deer rolled its eyes, tilted its head back to indicate that it could, but on one condition: it had to eat an extra pumpkin today.
Cheng Zhiyu was somewhat troubled. Although the pumpkins in his space grew very quickly, they couldn't keep up with the speed at which the deer ate them.
Cheng Zhiyu: "There are no more pumpkins."
The fawn's sadness was visible to the naked eye.
Cheng Zhiyu hurriedly said, "I still have some cabbage here, would you like to try some?"
He took out a mutated red and white cabbage and handed it to the little deer. The little deer smelled it, opened its mouth and took a bite. Hmm, the taste was not bad, but it was not as good as the pumpkin. It was barely edible.
Seeing that it was willing to eat, Cheng Zhiyu was relieved and decided to go back and plant some fast-growing things in his space that the deer liked to eat.
Yes, he remembered that elk liked to eat alfalfa.
With the new food, red and white cabbage, the little deer agreed to have her blood drawn. Zhou Min took a clean syringe, drew a tube of blood, and then immediately placed it in liquid nitrogen for preservation.
“There are experts at the Chaoyang base who are researching vaccines. Let’s contact them and get this vial of blood to them as soon as possible,” Zhou Min said.
Their base lacks the necessary resources, so they can only rely on experts from other bases.
However, how to get the blood there was also a problem, but fortunately they had liquid nitrogen, which could preserve it for a long time.
After the blood was drawn, the fawn lay down on the spot and called out "yoyo" again.
Lin Jiashu translated: "It said it felt very uncomfortable and needed to eat something delicious to get up."
Cheng Zhiyu: "..."
What could we do? We could only give it another cabbage.
He used to think he had a lot of mutated cabbages here, but now... he's under a lot of pressure and needs to plant some alfalfa in his space as soon as possible.
After feeding the deer with cabbage and confirming that there were no problems, Cheng Zhiyu and the others said goodbye to the deer and left.
The fawns were calling out "yoyo," and Lin Jiashu said that the fawns were seeing them off, and it sounded somewhat sad.
Tian Qiao scratched his head: "We're not far apart, can't we come over anytime?"
Only a true foodie understands another foodie. Tian Manman said, "It can't bear to part with delicious food."
Everyone: "..." That makes a lot of sense.
Well, they were just being presumptuous.
The deer had regained all its strength, and ordinary beasts or zombies were no match for it. The group was no longer worried and returned to the base.
With nothing else to do, Cheng Zhiyu went to check on the reclaimed farmland.
Once the crops grow, they will definitely be the most important asset of the base, so of course they must be protected within the base area.
However, in order to save manpower, the original base built a much smaller area around the perimeter wall, which was not enough to cultivate ten acres of crops.
Therefore, this time, in order to reclaim the land for farming, we not only need to turn over the soil, but also move the base outwards.
The land reclamation site was chosen at the back of the base, which was right next to the crops that their village had grown before the apocalypse.
To avoid trouble, even though they might only plant about ten acres, they fenced off thirty acres at once, so that they wouldn't have to use walls to enclose the land if they wanted to expand planting.
As for why not mark more areas, the surrounding area is unclaimed for several kilometers anyway.
Lin Kang said, "There's nothing we can do, the base is short-staffed."
However, he currently has no plans to expand the base's personnel. Firstly, the base itself lacks resources, and now is not a good time to expand its personnel.
Secondly, well... I don't even know where to look for them!
So let's talk about expanding the number of people later.
Thirty acres is a large area, and it will take some time to build the wall, so Cheng Zhiyu only recently heard that the wall was completed.
The location they chose was not only close to the former crops, but also close to the riverbed, making irrigation convenient.
Water is the most important thing for growing crops.
However, when Cheng Zhiyu arrived, he saw that the group looked worried and distressed; they had encountered their biggest problem right from the start.
“It hasn’t rained since the apocalypse, the land is too dry.” Grandpa Zhao shook his head: “With it so dry, even if the mutated seeds are planted, they probably won’t survive.”
Fang Guowei was also worried. They had been planting mutated seeds before, but it was only on a small scale, basically just a small plot of land, and watering them was not a big deal.
But now they have to plant ten or more acres at a time, and it will take forever to irrigate those ten or more acres.
"We can only draw water from the stream to irrigate," Fang Guowei said helplessly.
The plant-type ability user next to him sighed, "If we only draw out a little bit, it'll take forever to water them."
Plant-type ability user B: "That's right, it's so dry, even the river looks much narrower."
Plant-type ability user C dreams: "I see the sky has been gloomy lately, it might rain, then we won't have to go through all this trouble and feel so stuffy."
Before planting crops, the land is watered once, which is called "moistening the soil". The moist soil makes it easier for the seeds to grow.
If we don't do it this way, then we have to raise seedlings. Raising seedlings for more than ten acres of wheat? Only a madman would do that; it's more troublesome than mulching the land.
Grandpa Zhao shook his head: "Don't think about relying on God. There will always be a way, it's just a bit troublesome."
Since Grandpa Zhao joined the farming department, he has something to do and looks much more energetic. His eyes are no longer lifeless and have regained their sparkle.
Cheng Zhiyu looked up at the gloomy sky. Without the sun, it was indeed less hot, but he felt even more uncomfortable.
If the sun is out, it feels dry and hot, but now that the sky is overcast, it feels humid and hot, stuffy and sticky, making me feel even more uncomfortable.
Will it rain? Cheng Zhiyu looked at the sky with some worry. He felt that the sky was too strange. Even if it rained, it wouldn't rain properly. It would always cause some kind of trouble.
As fate would have it, that very night, Cheng Zhiyu heard a series of crackling sounds outside, and occasionally, excited voices.
He suddenly opened his eyes.
Cheng Mo hugged him tightly, and his fluffy tail had appeared out of nowhere, now wrapped around his waist.
The tail tip was restless, and it slipped a little inside his pajamas. It wiggled against his waist, and Cheng Zhiyu shuddered.
"Is it raining outside?" Cheng Zhiyu said, pushing Cheng Mo away.
Cheng Mo frowned and opened his eyes with displeasure: "Yeah, it's raining."
Cheng Zhiyu got out of bed and went outside to look.
Mr. and Mrs. Cheng had woken up sometime earlier and were talking outside, wrapped in their clothes.
Cheng's mother smiled and said, "Oh God, it's finally raining."
Mr. Cheng was also very happy: "It's good that it's raining. It won't be so dry anymore."
Cheng Zhiyu's hearing is much better than before, and he can hear that people outside have woken up. Most of the villagers are very happy to see the rain.
It's like rain after a long drought!
However, some people muttered, "Too much rain isn't a good thing either."
The person next to him glared at him: "What nonsense are you talking about? The rain isn't heavy, how could it cause disaster?"
In fact, it's not likely to cause any disaster, but the rain has been falling for several days without any sign of stopping.
The smiles on everyone's faces disappeared. They were all hoping the rain would stop soon. The rain kept falling, and it felt like it would never stop.
Moreover, because of the rain, several houses started leaking, and since the rain kept falling, there was no way to fix them, so they had to stay at other people's houses for the time being.
It's damp and cold during the day now, with no sunshine at all, which makes everyone feel gloomy.
Cheng Zhiyu stood by the window and sighed, "Sigh, when will this rain finally stop?"
"Zhiyu, don't worry about it." Cheng Mo, like an octopus, snuggled up to hug him: "It will stop when it's time to stop."
Cheng Zhiyu was helpless. He knew that worrying was useless, but he still couldn't help but worry.
As he frowned, he suddenly felt a soft, warm touch on his lips. He turned his head and met Cheng Mo's smiling eyes.
Cheng Zhiyu hesitated, then said, "You...don't kiss me like that."
Cheng Mo then brought up the past, when Cheng Zhiyu used to hug and kiss him.
“It’s different. You’re a human being now,” Cheng Zhiyu said. “When have you ever seen two people kissing so casually?”
Cheng Mo said matter-of-factly, "I've seen it before, but they don't kiss like I do. They bite each other's lips. Zhiyu, do you want to try it with me?"
Cheng Zhiyu: "..."
Damn it, who is it? Can't you chew your teeth at home?
"No, absolutely not." Cheng Zhiyu refused sternly. He could tolerate Cheng Mo kissing him like that, but kissing... what was that?
Good heavens, only after he finished thinking about it did he realize that he was lowering his standards little by little.
He changed the subject: "Sigh, I wonder how Xiaolu is doing?"
Cheng Mo retorted, "What can it do? Is a strange beast so sensitive that it can't even get wet in the rain?"
Looking at Cheng Mo's perfect, model-like face, Cheng Zhiyu sighed helplessly, "You..."
“I only care about Zhiyu,” Cheng Mo said, as a pair of black, furry ears popped out from the top of his head.
Cheng Zhiyu stared wide-eyed. He used to think he didn't care much about animal ears and didn't understand why some people were so obsessed with them.
But now... Cheng Mo's face is just too unfair.
The other person has a sharp, angular face; his ears don't make him look cute, but rather give him an undeniable wildness.
The three of them had their hearts pounding. It was too much, especially since the other person had a "you can touch me" look on their face.
Tell me, who could resist?
Cheng Zhiyu couldn't take his eyes off it...
Cheng Mo felt a secret thrill. He reached out and unbuttoned his shirt.
Today he wore a pure black shirt, unbuttoning it little by little to reveal his handsome and alluring physique, determined to carry his seduction to the very end.
His skin wasn't fair; it was wheat-colored, and like his appearance, it was wild.
"Zhiyu, want to touch it? Anywhere is fine." Cheng Mo said softly, his voice naturally magnetic, without any deliberate attempt to lower it.
Cheng Zhiyu's ears tingled, and he blushed deeply, as if he were being seduced by a succubus. He unconsciously reached out and touched his chest.
Cheng Mo sighed, "Zhiyu really likes it here."
Cheng Zhiyu's fingers trembled slightly, and his Adam's apple bobbed.
Cheng Mo chuckled: "Zhiyu..."
He reached out, grabbed the other's wrist, and moved it to the side: "Remember? You bit here last time, but the mark disappeared quickly. Zhiyu, do you still want to leave your mark here?"
Cheng Zhiyu's throat was terribly dry, as if he were desperately craving something.
His skin was fair, and even after being in the sun, it hadn't tanned much. But now his face was bright red, and his breathing had become rapid.
Cheng Mo's tail popped out too, the tip of which gently rubbed against Cheng Zhiyu's waist.
Cheng Zhiyu felt his legs go weak; he was completely unable to think and was relying on Cheng Mo's guidance.
He lowered his head and bit the spot his hand had touched. Cheng Mo made a sound, and Cheng Zhiyu looked up in a panic, only to realize that his voice was terribly hoarse when he spoke: "Did I hurt you?"
However, as he spoke words of concern, he suddenly realized that Cheng Mo's eyes were filled with tears, which did not make him seem pitiful, but rather gave him the feeling of being stared at by a wild beast.
The other person's eyes seemed to want to devour him.
“Zhiyu…” Tears streamed down Cheng Mo’s face.
In that instant, Cheng Zhiyu was stunned, stunned by the beautiful scenery before him.
He unconsciously raised his hand and wiped away the tears from the other person's eyes.
Who would have thought that Cheng Mo, who always had a cool face, would shed tears at this moment? In that instant, Cheng Zhiyu realized that he seemed to be a little abnormal.
Cheng Mo not only met his expectations in terms of physique and appearance, but even the single tear that slid down his cheek seemed to strike his heart.
"I can't control myself." Cheng Mo saw the other person staring blankly and awkwardly lowered his head.
However, his eyes suddenly welled up with tears. Cheng Zhiyu had kissed him there. Cheng Mo's eyes widened slightly, filled with joy. This was the first time the other party had taken the initiative to kiss him since he became human.
Cheng Mo immediately wondered, could it be that Zhiyu likes this?
He couldn't hold back his tears whenever he felt comfortable. If he had known that Zhiyu liked it this way, he wouldn't have tried to stop.
Cheng Mo felt a deep sense of regret, realizing he had missed out on so much.
He took the opportunity to act coquettishly: "Zhiyu, I'll help you one more time, this time I'll definitely make you feel good."
As he spoke, he began to rummage through things.
Cheng Zhiyu's ears turned bright red. He wanted to refuse, but he had to stand firm and couldn't let things continue like this!
But... but he was just kissing and touching me, and now he's refusing...
Cheng Mo, that guy, his true race is a succubus, isn't it!
Cheng Zhiyu felt dizzy and disoriented. He couldn't refuse Cheng Mo at all and could only let him do as he pleased.
Cheng Mo was overjoyed to see that he did not refuse, and decided that he was determined to prove himself this time. Last time was the first time, and he was sure he had improved this time.
Once he understands that Zhiyu is comfortable, the other party will definitely not refuse him in the future.
He never even considered that it wasn't a matter of comfort or discomfort.
Just as Cheng Mo reached out, a voice suddenly came from outside: "A horde of zombies is attacking the base!"
Cheng Zhiyu's expression suddenly turned serious. He quickly calmed down, pushed Cheng Mo away, put on his clothes, and left the house.
Cheng Mo, his clothes disheveled: "..."
Damn zombies! Of all times!
Tian Qiao and the others heard the noise and rushed out in the rain, only to find Cheng Zhiyu and Cheng Mo already out.
However, Cheng Mo seemed to be in a very bad mood, his face was frighteningly dark, and he looked like he might randomly kill someone who offended him.
Tian Qiao thought that Cheng Mo probably had a bad temper when he woke up.
Without saying much, the group hurriedly went to the base's perimeter wall.
Sure enough, we saw another group of zombies walking towards us in the rain from afar.
At first glance, it was a dark, dense mass, an astonishing number.
"How come there are so many zombies?" Even Zhou Min, who had seen a lot of things, was still shocked. There were far more than all the people in the base combined.
Cheng Zhiyu: "There must be high-level zombies commanding them."
Lin Kang has already led his men to kill the zombies. There are still many ordinary people in the base, and we must not let these zombies break through the defenses.
They also met Yang Kai and had to admit that the recovery ability of superhumans was indeed amazing. In a short period of time, Yang Kai showed no signs of injury and was killing the zombies attacking the wall.
He noticed Cheng Zhiyu and immediately glared at him.
Now is not the time to dwell on grudges. Cheng Zhiyu shot and killed the zombie next to Yang Kai, then said calmly, "Are you trying to die by getting distracted?"
Yang Kai's face turned grim, and he immediately focused on dealing with the zombies.
Even though Cheng Zhiyu defeated him last time, he still thought the other party was just lucky. He was just a plant-type, so why was he so arrogant?
Cheng Zhiyu was focused on dealing with the zombies and didn't care at all what Yang Kai was thinking.
Cheng Mo's chance to prove himself was interrupted, and he exuded a terrifying aura as he frantically slashed at zombies, using water magic to strangle them, a sight that made people's scalps tingle.
Tian Qiao grinned, it was scary.
Zhou Min killed a zombie with each arrow, looking at the dense horde of zombies not far away with a headache: "When will we ever finish killing them all?"
Tian Manman brandished her broadsword: "We'll eventually finish cutting them all down."
Sun Yu had said he was going to leave, but he never did. He heard that there was a zombie attack on the base, so he came to help.
Seeing more people with superpowers joining, Lin Kang's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly. He himself was quite strong, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to maintain his position even with Yang Kai harboring ulterior motives.
The group silently fought off the zombies in the rain, while ordinary people were also busy, braving the rain to deliver supplies and replenish their energy.
The zombies kept attacking, and even those with superpowers eventually ran out of energy.
From day to night, without a moment's rest, everyone's faces showed signs of exhaustion. However, the zombies suddenly intensified their attacks.
Lin Kang frowned, feeling increasingly uneasy. How long could they hold out like this?
Cheng Zhiyu pursed his lips and finally called out the waiter.
Since Xiao Er leveled up to level five, he hadn't let Xiao Er out again. Now that Xiao Er had come out, he immediately rubbed against Cheng Zhiyu happily.
Yang Kai, who had taken the time to keep an eye on the situation, almost laughed when he saw Cheng Zhiyu produce a "weak willow in the wind" plant. Was he joking?
However, before he could even laugh, the grass suddenly transformed into a fireball taller than a person, completely unaffected by the rain.
It rolled on, and wherever it went, the zombies turned to ashes.
Yang Kai swallowed hard. If he remembered correctly, Cheng Zhiyu was a plant-based student.
But this plant family seems quite different from the plant families he knows!
