Chapter 14 Zombies are Evolving, Little Black is a Water-type
Cheng Zhiyu didn't realize Xiao Hei's intention at first. When Xiao Hei suddenly blocked his way, he was surprised to see that Xiao Hei, despite being small and needing to look up at him, somehow exuded a domineering aura.
Cheng Zhiyu was amused by his own thoughts. He squatted down, patted Xiao Hei, and said with a smile, "Good boy, I have to go out for a bit. Um... I'll be back before dark. I left you some steamed buns and meatballs. Remember to eat them if you get hungry."
Xiao Hei naturally knew that Cheng Zhiyu was going out, and his purpose in stopping him was to go with him.
Xiao Hei has been secretly training his water-based abilities recently, and with great success. He can now conjure up large water spheres instead of just small ones.
However, in his opinion, this progress was still too slow. He was not a cub after all and knew very well that if he wanted to improve his abilities, he had to go through actual combat.
Staying in a safe place meant there was nothing to be afraid of, but the improvement of his abilities was too slow, and Xiao Hei didn't have the patience to take it slowly.
Even if Cheng Zhiyu didn't go out, he planned to go out by himself. Of course, he could sneak out after Cheng Zhiyu went out.
However, Xiao Hei glanced at the weak human and thought, "Forget it, I'll just follow him. After all, the other party has taken me in, and I don't want Cheng Zhiyu to become one of those ugly things outside."
However, Cheng Zhiyu was unaware of Xiao Hei's thoughts. Seeing that the other party did not move away for a long time, he said in a serious tone: "Xiao Hei, stop making trouble. It's dangerous outside. Stay at home and behave yourself. I'll be back soon."
Danger? The Winged Clan never fears danger. Xiao Hei scoffed. His jumping ability had improved a lot, and he easily caught Cheng Zhiyu's leg as a cushion, jumped onto the other's shoulder, and then crawled into his collar.
The place was filled with Cheng Zhiyu's presence. Xiao Hei stiffened for a moment, but quickly regained its composure and rested its head on Cheng Zhiyu's chest, feeling quite comfortable.
Cheng Zhiyu: "...Little Black!"
He took Xiao Hei out and put it on the ground, but as soon as he put it down, Xiao Hei quickly scurried back into his clothes.
Practice makes perfect; his movements are fluid and incredibly fast.
Cheng Zhiyu took him out again, and then Xiao Hei crawled back in.
After several attempts, Cheng Zhiyu was speechless. If this continued, he wouldn't be able to leave the house until sunset!
He was in a terrible mood, poking the dog that was pretending to be dead on his chest through his clothes, and said irritably, "I warned you, it's dangerous outside. If you insist on going, then go ahead, but stay obediently inside my clothes and don't come out, understand?"
Although Cheng Zhiyu knew that Xiao Hei was not an ordinary puppy, he didn't think Xiao Hei could protect itself, it was so small...
It's just that Xiao Hei is smart; otherwise, he wouldn't have been willing to take the other person along no matter what.
Xiao Hei: I don't know.
Cheng Zhiyu was unaware of Xiao Hei's rebellious thoughts. He took the steamed buns and meatballs he had left for Xiao Hei with him, otherwise there wouldn't be enough to eat.
He held a small iron cleaver in one hand, with a waiter perched on his shoulder, and opened the door.
The zombies outside had already been cleared out, and the area outside was completely empty. Cheng Zhiyu thought for a moment and then went upstairs.
He walked up the stairs to the sixth floor, came out of the stairwell, and began searching for zombies.
There were no zombies outside the sixth floor, but from some of the residents' homes, one could faintly hear the sound of zombies knocking on the doors.
And it sounds like there's more than one.
Cheng Zhiyu walked up to the door of this house, and used a kitchen knife to break the lock. The moment the door opened, several zombies immediately rushed out, staggering.
His reaction was much faster than before. Before Xiao Er could even attack one of them, he slashed at the head of the foremost zombie, splitting its head open and instantly killing it.
Cheng Zhiyu wore a hat and mask, with only his eyes showing. After the zombie was killed, his expression did not change. He quickly slashed at another zombie that was charging at him.
The last one will be left for the waiter to finish.
Xiao Hei was restless; his head popped out of his collar. Cheng Zhiyu reached out and pressed him back down, but he popped out again. He pressed him back down, but he popped out again.
Cheng Zhiyu: "..."
He poked the little black head: "Aren't you afraid?"
Xiao Hei: I was actually shocked by how ugly it was.
Since Xiao Hei wasn't afraid and didn't make any sudden movements, Cheng Zhiyu let him be.
Xiao Er had already dealt with the zombies, jumped onto Cheng Zhiyu's shoulder, and together they entered the house.
There were three zombies inside, and the place was in complete chaos. Cheng Zhiyu only found a little food, but he didn't mind. He put it in his system space and then went to the next place.
Next, Cheng Zhiyu followed the same method whenever he heard any noise from a resident's house, only to encounter scattered zombies. Xiao Hei watched lazily, without making a move.
By noon, Cheng Zhiyu had reached the twentieth floor. He found a quiet spot and sent Xiao Er and Xiao Tie back to the system space to rest, then watered them.
After a morning of fighting, Xiao Er noticed that the colors were much brighter, and so was Xiao Tie.
Cheng Zhiyu himself was exhausted. He took off his gloves, washed his hands, and took out some steamed buns from his backpack. The buns were already cold and didn't taste as good as when they were hot, but they were still quite delicious.
Cheng Zhiyu ate by himself and also fed Xiao Hei, who had jumped out.
He patted the little black head: "I told you to come out with me. It's not as comfortable as staying at home."
Little Black twitched its ears: "I'm bored at home."
After a busy morning, Cheng Zhiyu was starving. He ate seven steamed buns and drank two bottles of water before he felt just right. He had just found those two bottles of water.
Xiao Hei ate quite a lot, including five steamed buns and a lot of water.
Cheng Zhiyu frowned, picked up Xiao Hei, rubbed its belly, and muttered, "It ate so much, I wonder where it all went?"
Xiao Hei's belly was still flat. Cheng Zhiyu was worried that he would overeat, but now he realized he had been overthinking it.
He frowned slightly as he thought of something, and muttered to Xiao Hei with a sigh, "We haven't found much water all morning. If we can't find any today, we'll have to go outside tomorrow."
There's a supermarket outside; we're sure to find water there. Thinking this, Cheng Zhiyu's brow relaxed.
Xiao Hei's ears twitched when he heard this. Cheng Zhiyu hadn't mentioned it, so he didn't know that the family was short of water.
But there's nothing to worry about, since he has water-based abilities.
Thinking of this, Xiao Hei jumped onto Cheng Zhiyu's lap, and then crawled back into his clothes.
Cheng Zhiyu closed his eyes, leaned against the wall, and waited for his strength to return.
There are only three floors left above the twentieth floor. Cheng Zhiyu is now very skilled at dealing with zombies. He kills them cleanly and then has Xiao Er burn them to ashes to prevent the virus from spreading further.
Then I went downstairs and cleared the five floors below. Outside the building, the zombies that had been banging on the doors were gone, and I don't know where they had wandered off to.
It was still early, so Cheng Zhiyu and Xiao Hei ate the remaining steamed buns and planned to go home after cleaning up the underground parking lot.
Regarding the water issue... let's go outside tomorrow.
Cheng Zhiyu gripped the small iron kitchen knife tightly, went down to the basement level, and immediately heard the roars of zombies.
There were significantly more zombies in the underground parking lot. They were probably people who didn't know what was going on that morning, came down to go to work, and were bitten and turned into zombies.
There are about ten of them.
Cheng Zhiyu moved with lightning speed, like chopping watermelons, taking them down one by one. After a whole day of fighting, Xiao Er's strength had also improved a lot. What used to take two minutes to burn a zombie to death now only took half a minute.
A dozen or so zombies seemed like a lot, but Cheng Zhiyu was already quite adept at dealing with them, and soon only one remained.
However, after swinging the cleaver at the zombie, Cheng Zhiyu suddenly realized something was wrong. His ears twitched, and he immediately dodged. He saw a zombie that had appeared behind him at some point. The zombie was wearing a skirt and must have been a woman in life. Its inorganic eyes were staring intently at him. For the first time in a long time, he felt a chill run down his spine.
However, Cheng Zhiyu's men didn't stop moving. They dodged the female zombie and wanted to deal with the last remaining zombie first.
As soon as he raised his hand, the female zombie rushed up. While dodging the female zombie, Cheng Zhiyu dealt with the remaining zombies. Suddenly, he realized that the two zombies were actually cooperating!
Cheng Zhiyu's previous impression of zombies was that they had no intelligence, only knew how to charge around, and didn't know how to dodge even if you attacked them.
However, the female zombie was not only much faster and knew how to dodge, but after she appeared, the remaining zombie, which was originally as clumsy as the other zombies, seemed to suddenly become much "smarter". Its speed was still slow, but it seemed to know how to dodge.
Cheng Zhiyu observed and discovered that it wasn't that they were working together, but rather that the female zombie seemed to be able to control the remaining zombies.
Unbeknownst to him, the zombies were also evolving. Cheng Zhiyu felt a chill run down his spine.
The situation became deadlocked because of the addition of a female zombie, and unfortunately, Xiao Er's zombie had not yet been burned to death.
If it were just like that, the situation would change once Xiao Er burned the zombie to death. However, Cheng Zhiyu, whose perception had been enhanced, sensed that a zombie was approaching from a distance.
This can't go on!
Just as Cheng Zhiyu was wondering what to do, Xiao Hei suddenly jumped out of his arms. He panicked, fearing something might happen to Xiao Hei, and quickly called out, "Xiao Hei, come back quickly! It's dangerous outside!"
Xiao Hei glanced at Cheng Zhiyu with a complex expression in her dark eyes. Really, she still has time to care about him now.
Cheng Zhiyu was extremely anxious. While observing Xiao Hei's position, he backed away, wanting to get to Xiao Hei's side and hug him back.
Suddenly, Xiao Hei stepped forward and charged straight at the zombie.
Cheng Zhiyu's eyes widened slightly: "Xiao Hei! Come back!"
However, instead of the expected bite from Xiao Hei, a shocking scene unfolded: a pool of water suddenly appeared not far from Xiao Hei, enveloping the zombie and instantly turning the clear water murky.
The water directly shattered the zombie's head.
Cheng Zhiyu: "!!!"
More zombies rushed in from outside. Xiao Hei was incredibly relaxed. One of them popped out, and he calmly and slowly smashed its head apart. It was extremely ferocious.
The female zombie was probably enraged by this scene and roared angrily. Xiao Hei shouted at Cheng Zhiyu: What are you looking at me for? This is just for you to practice on.
