Chapter 34 Growing up so slowly.
Shu Lan patted his butt lightly and muttered, "You stinky baby, you bumped into me."
"I'm sorry, Mommy." Shu Maomao stopped at her familiar spot and said sullenly, "The woman named Anselin is gone."
"Hmm..." Shu Lan hugged him and prepared to go back to sleep: "Don't worry about her, zombies love to wander around at night."
For the first time, Shu Maomao explained nervously, "No, I was talking to her and she suddenly disappeared."
Shu Lan regained some consciousness: "Disappeared before your eyes?"
Shu Maomao said, "Well, she also knew my name was Shu Maomao and asked me to kill a man named Jiang He."
This is a bit scary, she has never called her son's full name in front of Anselin.
Shu Lan opened her eyes wide in fear and fumbled for the flashlight to turn it on.
"Where did it disappear? Take me there."
The pile of loose soil outside the house was still on the ground, but apart from the gusts of cold wind, there was indeed no one in sight.
Shu Lan walked around with a flashlight, closed the door tightly, and found something to hold it up. Even though she knew this would be of no use against the zombies, she still wanted to block it and seek psychological comfort.
She pulled her son back to the bed, pulled the quilt over his head, and whispered, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. It must be a supernatural power like teleportation or invisibility. At least Anselin kept her word and didn't bite us before she left."
Not only did she not bite her, but she also acted as a bodyguard and laborer for the past two days. Shu Lan was so flattered that she suspected that she had known such an older sister before, or that Anselin was a kind person by nature when she was alive, and would be a good zombie after becoming a zombie.
Shu Maomao said depressedly, "Mommy, I hate the feeling of not being able to beat her."
"That's normal, baby. You're still so young, and she's already a level three zombie. Everyone likes to win, and Mommy likes to win too, but no one becomes strong all of a sudden. Let's take it slow, and you'll definitely be able to beat everyone in the future."
No, it's not because he likes to win.
Shu Maomao knew in his heart that he didn't want to see Shu Lan trembling with fear and pretending to smile every day among the dead and the living, and then crying and saying how hard it was to live after drinking some strange drink.
He wanted her to live an easy, happy, and preferably a proud life.
But the process of growing up and becoming stronger was too slow, which made him very impatient.
Shu Maomao felt like a heavy object was pressing on his heart, making him very uncomfortable. He rested his forehead on Shu Lan's shoulder and said nothing more.
The sky was just beginning to brighten as the sun rose. The whole house was illuminated by the sunlight. Shu Maomao heard a car approaching and stopping outside their house, followed by a man and a woman talking. He opened his eyes, sat up, and woke Shu Lan up.
The moment Shu Lan woke up, she heard noises outside the door. She quickly put on her shoes and clothes, and someone outside had already started trying to open the door.
"The door lock was off, but the door couldn't be opened. There was someone inside."
Shu Lan and Shu Maomao looked at each other and told him with their mouths: Don't use your superpowers yet.
Those who act during the day are usually living people, and it seems like if you don't make a sound, the other party will try to pry the door open.
Shu Lan shouted, "There's someone inside, alive."
There was silence outside the house for a moment, and then a man said, "It's a woman."
"How many people are there?"
Shu Lan didn't answer, but continued to shout, "Just tell me what you have to say."
"We need to use this car outside. Throw out the keys."
Shu Lan frowned. She had to pretend to be a good wife and mother and lie in wait for several days before she was able to steal the car. But these people actually demanded it back right away. It was really unreasonable and arrogant.
"This is the only car I have. If you don't give it to me, go find one somewhere else. Don't mess with me. I'm also a mutant."
Green threads came in from under the door, quickly grew into vines as thick as wrists, and pushed away the debris piled up at the door.
Shu Lan pulled Shu Maomao back. At this moment, someone kicked the door open. In the flying dust, both sides could see each other's number clearly.
Four men and two women were standing outside the house, with a deformed SUV parked next to them. The car was covered in black blood, and a door was missing, showing severe signs of battle damage.
The team found that there was only a young woman with a vigilant look and a small boy in the room, both of whom showed a lucky expression.
The short man closest to the door had a clump of green plants shrinking back into the soil at his feet. He scoffed, "You speak so confidently, yet you're alone with a child. We're a team of psychics. Throw the key over here yourself, or we'll kill you and take the key."
Shu Lan glanced at the group of people, tightened her fingers on Shu Maomao's shoulders, and finally gave in helplessly: "Forget it, I'll give you the key."
In troubled times, bandits emerge. Without rules and constraints, the world will return to its original state of the survival of the fittest.
There were six people on the other side, and if they just wanted a car and nothing else, she could give it to them.
She tossed the key to the short man. The bearded man next to her looked Shu Lan up and down with a sticky and dark gaze. He suddenly said, "Wait a minute. I'm tired after running away all night. You guys wait outside while I play with this mother."
The accident happened at this moment. The deep eye of space appeared behind the bearded man. A sharp knife flew out and pierced the man's chest. Flowers made of blood bloomed in the early morning.
The bright red knife was sucked into the newly appeared spatial crack. The short man closest to the bearded man was the first to react. His face suddenly changed and he shouted angrily, "A sneak attack! Kill them!"
When the bloody knife appeared again, the others responded quickly. Behind the fallen bearded man was a middle-aged man in a gray sweater.
The air around the man in the gray sweater was visibly distorted, and the moment the long sword approached, it was forcibly bounced away by an unknown obstacle.
Air wall.
Shu Maomao narrowed his round eyes like a kitten, and the ground under the feet of the man in the gray sweater suddenly collapsed, forming a big pit.
The man in the gray sweater fell into the pit, and the surrounding soil moved toward the center, burying him completely.
At this time, the vines that stretched out from the door wrapped around the ankles of Shu Lan and Shu Maomao, and the mother and son were dragged to the ground at the same time. Shu Lan hit the ground with the back of her head, which made her skull buzz and she screamed in pain.
Her first reaction was that fortunately Shu Maomao fell on her stomach and didn't hit her.
Shu Maomao got up, and there was an even sharper and colder murderous intent in his eyes.
The space opened up again, and a spinning axe flew out, chopping off the head of the short man closest to the door, and finally landed accurately in Shu Maomao's hands.
He turned around and looked at the last surviving man. His right arm gained strength and he threw the axe with force, but it only scratched the man's clothes.
All the exposed skin on the man's face, neck, and palms had turned gray, like hard rock, except for his eyes, which were still clearly black and white.
The rock man picked up the axe from the ground and rushed towards the mother and son. Suddenly, a cloud of dust rose from the ground and flew onto his face, constantly hitting his eyeballs.
His vision was obstructed and his eyes were stinging. The rock man had to stop halfway, close his eyes and cry continuously.
A stream of water rushed over and hit him in the face, sweeping all the dust into the water, turning it into mud and flowing down.
It was the woman who had been standing next to the car who had done it. She had already climbed into the trunk, stuck her head out and anxiously shouted, "Hurry up!"
The terrifying Eye of Space suddenly appeared from behind her, and the cold weapons scattered on the ground flew towards the woman as if attracted by a magnet. The woman screamed and lay in the trunk and closed the hood.
The metal shell of the car was quite strong, which prevented her from being pricked like a hedgehog in time.
Shu Maomao frowned. The man rushed to the door, but it was too late to bury him.
Swallow him into space and suffocate him to death? But it will crush the pumpkin he and his mother want to eat.
When the rock man was entangled by Shu Maomao, Shu Lan endured the pain in the back of his head, pulled off the withered vines on his feet, crawled out on his knees, wiped the blood on the threshold, quickly crawled back, grabbed Shu Maomao's little hand and wiped it upwards.
With the help of his water-based abilities, the rock man opened his red eyes, stepped into the house, stood behind Shu Lan, and raised the axe high towards her slender back.
Shu Maomao raised his head, and the man's hideous face covered in mud and flesh was reflected in his dark eyes.
A green vine silently wrapped around the man's neck and suddenly dragged him out of the house.
A second large pit appeared on the ground. The vines pulled the struggling rock man into it. The land returned to its original position. The raised earth slope shook slightly and soon returned to calm.
