The little zombie had red eyes. Qin Zhi tried to hug it but was pushed away by everyone. Apologizing was useless. The corn still needed a few more days to grow. He glanced at the truckload of corn on the relief grain.
Although he harvested the other fruits and vegetables grown in the space, he didn't waste them. He piled them up next to the plants, figuring they would stay fresh and wouldn't spoil.
They went to the work site and traded a truckload of pumpkins for most of a truckload of corn.
He brought over a large bag for the little zombie and bowed his head, continuing to apologize.
"I bought all their corn, enough for you to eat until the new corn grows. I really won't let you go hungry again. Please forgive me this time. Are you hungry? Shall we go back and eat?"
The little zombie stared at the corn, and its anger immediately subsided.
Bring it here.
They broke them apart one by one to eat.
He also fed Qin Zhi a bite.
He held up an ear of corn, munching on it as he looked up and said, "Give them food."
Qin Zhi was displeased, and his tone turned cold again, "They expect me to cover their meals? How dare they?"
In the apocalypse, killing is not illegal, so Qin Zhi immediately decided to kill.
His fists were clenched, and his eyes were cold.
The little zombie pouted: "Am I not your zombie?"
Qin Zhi: "Yes."
Little zombie: "I just ate their corn, I have to pay it back, husband, please pay it back for me."
Qin Zhi was overjoyed when Qin called him "husband." His fists loosened, his eyes softened, and his expression became much more amiable.
Did they eat their corn?
Qin Zhicai didn't want the little zombie to take advantage of others; his baby could only take advantage of him.
He took a lot of things, including a dozen or twenty eggs, rice, flour, cooking oil, and vegetables, and handed them to Yu Bai. He then picked up the little zombie and prepared to leave. Yu Bai followed him, saying, "I misunderstood you last time. He really doesn't infect people."
The little zombie hummed on Qin Zhi's shoulder.
Yu Bai: "Are you free? Want to grab a coffee? Or maybe we should go to a restaurant for dinner?"
Qin Zhi said coldly, "No time! Get out of the way!"
Yu Bai: "Where are you staying now? We'll get in touch when you have time."
His cold gaze swept over Yu Bai, clearly displeased. "I know you? Stop trying to claim kinship with me, get out! Don't let me see you again!"
Yu Bai's eyes twitched; his ability to change his expression so quickly was comparable to a national treasure.
Qin Zhi bypassed Yu Bai when he spoke.
They quickly disappeared, carrying the little zombie.
It's not that he won't take action, but with the little zombie around, he can't move. If he eats even a little bit of food from the other party, he'll have to pay it back. If he really kills someone, the zombie will be angry for ten days or half a month and ignore him. Qin Zhi can't stand that.
Take it back.
He handed the note to the little zombie and asked, "What does leaving this mean? Aren't you planning to come back?"
The little zombie was munching on corn, stretching its head out and then pulling it back in, muttering indistinctly, "I didn't write 'I'll come back after I've eaten my fill' (didn't I write 'come back after I've eaten my fill')?"
Qin Zhi: "Is this your excuse for wanting to run away after exhausting me for two days?"
The little zombie chewed and swallowed: "You don't have any corn, I'll give you some." He took another bite and chewed again. "No." He chewed again. "Go out and find some, why didn't you give me any?" He chewed again. "I'm going out."
Qin Zhi: "..."
The little thing even has the nerve to argue.
"Seven days! You can't even tell me if you want to eat? I'll go find some for you and leave a note. Do you know that's running away from home? Do you understand how serious this is? There are so many bad people out there who could kidnap you, abuse you, and not give you food or water. Let's see who you cry to then!"
The little zombie didn't take it seriously. It didn't like Qin Zhi scolding it. It glared at Qin Zhi with its cat-like eyes, snorted, and turned away, still holding a corn cob in its hand.
"Were you even listening to me? Do you know you were wrong?"
The little zombie wouldn't listen to the tortoise's chanting, so Qin Zhi turned his body to face Nan Yu directly.
The little zombie continued to turn to the side, clearly unhappy.
"Do you know you're wrong?"
"Hmph." He turned around.
Go with me, "I know I was wrong, so let's move on. I won't hold it against you for trying to exhaust me by sneaking away."
"Hmph!" The stubborn man believed he was right and would not admit his mistake.
"You silly boy!"
The little zombie gave Qin Zhiyi another corn cob, and every time it hit someone, it would specifically target their head, hitting them with just the right amount of force, leaving them stunned but not brain-damaged.
"I have a name! My name is Lampwick! I didn't run away from home, I just went out to find food! You stinky corn king, I curse you to be impotent!"
That's so vicious, that curse.
Qin Zhi pinched her lips and gritted her teeth:
"You actually cursed your husband like that? Fine, fine!"
The little zombie hadn't realized the seriousness of the situation.
He didn't think he had done anything wrong.
Stubborn on the first day.
He remained stubborn the next day.
He was still stubborn on the third day.
The fourth day was filled with misery and stubbornness.
On the fifth day, he became listless and stubborn.
On the sixth day, I was crying.
On the seventh day, he begged for mercy.
How can mutant humans be so monstrous?
The little zombie has behaved, and the corn in Qin Zhi's space has grown well.
Qin Zhi felt refreshed, but the base had changed again in the past seven days. Lu Zhi had taken drastic measures, driving out all the "useless" people in the base, reducing the number of people by at least half.
The spare space was used to build laboratories, not only to study zombies, but also to study people with superpowers, and the weapons factory was expanded.
Outside the base city, a large number of people died. Lu Zhi sent people to dig a huge pit and throw all the dead people into it.
Lu Panpan couldn't stand it and wanted to stop it.
With her current power, her words are meaningless; nobody listens to her. So she went to the street, grabbed a gong, and tried to organize the people to overthrow Lu Zhi.
The base city is now basically divided into two factions.
One side supports Lu Zhi. The famine of the past few days has frightened them, and taking in outsiders is simply harming themselves.
One side condemned Lu Zhi, saying that although they were not from the same city, they were from the same country and were Chinese citizens. They should help each other and unite in times of crisis, instead of selfishly sacrificing others to save their own lives.
Yu Bai and the others stood below the stage, listening to the girl on stage passionately recounting Lu Zhi's tyrannical acts.
Although food supplies were guaranteed, people were also on edge.
They were afraid that someone might not be easily executed and would be driven out of the city.
It's truly remarkable that someone would step forward.
Yu Bai still admires Lu Panpan quite a bit.
At least she dared to take the lead.
Some things need a leader. Once it starts, countless people will follow. Lu Zhi always thought Lu Panpan was a clown and not worth fearing, but who knew that the cohesion would become stronger and stronger.
In ancient times, this would have been a sign that the people wanted to overthrow the emperor.
Lu Zhi would not allow her authority to be challenged.
The commander convened a meeting and specially invited Qin Zhi.
At the conference table, everyone had a tense expression, except for Qin Zhi, who had a little zombie sitting on his lap and sleeping on his shoulder.
He searched for several months before his first attempt.
The second run, even though it only lasted a few hours, was still a run; once or twice is acceptable, but a third time is not.
Qin Zhi now carries his little zombie around wherever he goes.
Lu Zhishan arrived late, showing no remorse whatsoever.
He simply said in a nonchalant tone, "Sorry, something came up and I was held up."
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Qin Zhi and said, "Bringing family members to meetings?"
Hearing the familiar yet unfamiliar voice, the little zombie twitched its ears, raised its head, and met Lu Zhi's eyes.
Just a second ago, Lu Zhi was still mocking him with disdain.
The next second, their expressions changed completely.
She was so frightened that her lips turned white.
Ten, thirteen, how could it be him?
The zombies Qin Zhi raised actually...
Lu Zhi quickly calmed down. She hadn't done anything wrong back then, and she even shared her meals with him. She had only discovered the zombies and used him to create chaos to escape, which was only human nature.
Qin Zhi caught Lu Zhi's change of expression, his eyes narrowing dangerously.
The little zombie saw Lu Zhi pout and let out a heavy snort. It buried its head in Qin Zhi's chest, its head still aching. It tried to lift up its clothes and crawl inside to press itself against Qin Zhi, but the clothes weren't stretchy enough, and it couldn't get in.
Qin Zhi took a coat and draped it over the little zombie.
He held me tightly, and his hands would pat my back gently, intentionally or unintentionally, to comfort me.
The little zombie's strange behavior made Qin Zhi feel a bit hostile towards Lu Zhi.
Something was wrong with both of them.
Why is Dengxin so scared? What did she do to him?
The commander, oblivious to the atmosphere among them, began to speak once everyone had arrived.
"Recently, the public has had a lot of complaints about the base. It is undeniable that both Major General Lu Zhi and the previous Major General Lu have made outstanding contributions to the base. However, their management methods were somewhat extreme. This meeting is held in the hope of achieving a satisfactory result."
Lu Zhi was still thinking about the little zombie.
If he is a single individual.
Even if we take a step back and assume he's the base commander's own son...
She wouldn't have too many concerns.
It just so happens that these are zombies raised by Qin Zhi.
The people being fought over by the major bases are not so easy to mess with.
The inexplicable low pressure made her feel anxious.
"Major General Lu?"
"Major General Lu Zhi?"
The commander had to call her several times before she snapped out of her daze.
He glanced instinctively at the little zombie.
Meeting Qin Zhi's murderous gaze, she was so frightened that she nearly lost her soul. Her body stiffened, and she pursed her lips, suppressing her panic, and said:
“I don’t think I have any problems with management. My sister was in power, and her kindness was excessive. What was the result? Under limited conditions, we should protect the most important people. Shouldn’t the burdens be eliminated? Commander, since you have given me the power, you shouldn’t interfere with what I do. I’m doing this for the base and for humanity. Otherwise, why should I bear this bad reputation?”
The deputy commander said, "You are excellent, but you shouldn't have exterminated them, driven out the outsiders, and now you're driving out the elderly from our own base. How is this any different from what happened to the surface city?"
Lu Zhi: "Do you have a better idea?"
Deputy Commander: "Food is plentiful. We should stop the expulsions, develop the base economy, and strengthen the perimeter defenses."
Lu Zhi said unhappily, "I know what to do, Vice Commander."
Qin Zhi sensed the trembling Zombie and his furrowed brows. During their meeting, he suddenly stood up, holding the little zombie, and said:
"Excuse me, I'll be going out for a bit. You can continue."
After saying that, he left without paying any attention to the group.
Qin Zhi took the little zombie to another empty office, cupped its small face in his hands, and asked with keen sensitivity, "Did she hurt you?"
The little zombie felt uncomfortable, trembled, and hugged Qin Zhi.
When children are wronged, they always complain to their parents, saying in a trembling voice, "She put me in the cage, but she gave me food."
Qin Zhi: "You're afraid of her because she gave you food?"
The little zombie nuzzled its head into Qin Zhi's arms.
It seems like the only way to feel safe is to stick close to him.
The man held her tightly, giving her a strong sense of security, and Xiaodengxin choked back tears, saying, "Bad people, they're all bad people."
Qin Zhi's eyes flashed coldly for a moment as he hugged the little zombie tightly.
He doesn't care who the other person is.
Those who harmed Little Lampwick in the last wave are already dead.

Little Zombie: "..."
She looked up at Qin Zhi, her lips trembling, looking utterly aggrieved.
Waaaaaah!
Holding Qin Zhi tightly, she choked back tears: "Corn King..."
Qin Zhi patted the little zombie's head. The vine, like a green venomous snake, climbed up the wall and crawled into the conference room through the window. Before anyone could react, the vine strangled Lu Zhi's neck with lightning speed.
The girl immediately blushed.
His eyes were filled with terror, his hands reached for the vines, and he opened his mouth as if to cry for help, but no word came out. Everyone else was also shocked. Who was so bold!
Wait, vines, Qin Zhi!
The deputy commander quickly went to find someone.
The others helped rescue Lu Zhi.
Seeing him in the office across the street, I rushed in and asked, "Did you put the vines there?"
Qin Zhi didn't even lift his eyelids, holding the little zombie and gently patting its back, soothing it again and again, then kissing its little face, before answering the vice commander:
"have no idea."
It is 100% certain that the deputy commander was Qin Zhigan.
"What grudge does she have against you? Today's meeting is to solve problems, not to kill her." Even if the strategy was wrong, it doesn't warrant using death to 'account for it'.
"Who said she has a grudge against me?"
The vice commander was even more confused, "What are you doing if you have no grudge against me?"
Qin Zhi cupped his face in his hands, stuffed his fingers into his ears to block them, and glanced at the vice commander. His eyes were cold and gloomy, and upon closer inspection, one could detect the bloodthirsty glint hidden in his eyes.
The deputy commander met his eyes and shuddered, his hair standing on end.
"It's just one person missing. People are dying at the base every day. Is it really that big of a problem?"
Even the strong-willed deputy commander couldn't help but shudder.
He didn't know the whole story.
If Qin Zhi were to suddenly commit murder, that would be far too unpredictable.
The person killed was a junior general of the base, especially in front of other management. No matter how strong such a person is, keeping him alive is dangerous.
If Lu Zhi really died under mysterious circumstances.
The base will probably be dealing with Qin Zhi soon.
They cannot allow a ticking time bomb to remain beside them.
Qin Zhi picked up the little zombie and carried it to the conference room.
Lu Zhi was being strangled so badly that she could barely breathe, her face turning bluish-purple. Even when others tried to cut the vines with knives, they couldn't manage to sever them, let alone pull them away. When Qin Zhi arrived, 80% of their attention was on him.
The vines loosened their grip slightly.
Lu Zhi finally caught her breath, though she continued coughing.
Qin Zhi carried the baby zombie to her. The girl, after recovering, looked terrified, her voice hoarse with pain:
"What...what do you want to do?"
Qin Zhi: "I'd like to ask you what you did."
The color drained from Lu Zhi's face instantly. Thinking that the little zombie might have already told Qin Zhi the truth, she said in a trembling voice:
"I, I didn't do anything, don't misunderstand. In the ground city market, I even shared my food rations with him. You can ask him if you don't believe me."
The vines tightened again.
