Chapter 347 Grain
Yun Zhao couldn't concentrate on reading a single word just thinking about that scene.
But in order to find clues, she had to force herself to turn the pages further.
"Look here, the female lead was terrified at first, screaming whenever she saw a zombie, but then she was saved by the zombie king and suddenly developed feelings for him?"
Yun Zhao pointed to the contents of the book and said, "And here, the description of the zombie king's appearance is full of gorgeous praise, describing him as so incredibly handsome..."
How could a zombie be handsome?
Even the most handsome person, once transformed into a zombie covered in rotten flesh and feeding on living people, would probably be unbearable to look at.
Moreover, without eating people, it cannot replenish its energy and therefore cannot become the zombie king.
Humans who dare to get close to zombies will definitely not survive a day.
Rabbit: "...Sister Yun Zhao, you've been complaining all afternoon."
Qi Ling said quietly, "You can't use your brain when reading novels. If you focus too much on logic and moral standards, you're not suited to reading 'feel-good' novels."
Yun Zhao's expression was conflicted: "A wish-fulfillment novel? But the female lead ran away twice at the beginning, and each time she was caught, she was locked up and forced to have sex with him..."
Footsteps could be heard outside the door.
The rabbit quickly changed the subject, "The captain and the others are back."
A short while later.
Xie Tu indeed pushed the door open and came in.
Just as Yun Zhao saw that the female lead was injured, the zombie king actually licked her wounds with his tongue to heal her!
The female lead still looked shy and had no idea that she might be turned into a zombie.
Yun Zhao calmly closed the book and handed "The Apocalypse Arrives, I Become the Zombie King's Little Wife" to Xie Tu, who was walking towards her.
"Here, take a look at this one."
She should be thankful that the world the gatekeeper set up wasn't like that.
Xie Tu took the book and pulled her up from the sofa. "Are you hungry? Let's go downstairs for dinner. We're having grilled fish tonight."
After dinner, we held a meeting.
After discussing tomorrow's tasks, they all went back to their rooms to rest.

The next day.
Team Zero led the hundred people who had signed up to go out with them out of the safe base.
Among them were residents of Peach Blossom Island who had just arrived yesterday.
Yesterday I made two trips to the military base and brought back eight military trucks. Together with the two I brought back earlier, we now have a total of ten trucks loaded with supplies.
Xie Tu randomly selected ten survivors who could drive trucks.
Armored vehicles led the way, guiding the convoy behind them to the grain wholesale market.
The roar of cars echoed through the silent, dilapidated streets.
The alerted zombies pursued relentlessly like mad dogs. They seemed to have gained some intelligence and began to know how to surround and encircle, deliberately circling around to launch surprise attacks from the side.
Rabbit, Song Liang, and Duan Xi crouched on the roofs of several vehicles, sniping at the zombies they encountered along the way.
The approaching zombies bent their knees slightly and leaped three or four meters high, heading straight for the people in the car.
Some zombies even unleashed various supernatural abilities, with fist-sized flames appearing to ambush passing convoys.
The people crouching inside the military truck were so frightened that they were sweating profusely and dared not make a sound.
Especially the survivors of Peach Blossom Island.
Only now do they realize how lucky they were yesterday.
I secretly rejoiced that I was lucky yesterday and didn't encounter any zombies.
Unbeknownst to them, it was a fire phoenix circling in the air that safely escorted them to the base.
"Bang bang bang!!!"
Several gunshots rang out.
The zombie's body slammed heavily onto the ground with a dull thud.
For the sentries, as long as they can get a headshot, these monsters are still within their control.
"The evolution speed is too fast."
The rabbit aimed at the few shadows that flashed by in the distance, pulled the trigger again, and with the sound of the sniper rifle, the shadows fell one after another.
"At this rate, we can no longer easily and happily go to the downtown area."
The team leader and his team made two trips yesterday.
The transportation routes have all been cleared, and the road to the grain wholesale market was also cleared the day before yesterday.
Only a small number of zombies that had wandered over from other places appeared.
In the downtown area, there are probably quite a few mutated zombies like this, so going there now will definitely not be as easy as before.
"Let's just bomb them from a distance then."
Yun Zhao deliberately avoided thinking about the arrogant and cool zombie king described in the novel, and said, "Have the spirits drop bombs, and the fire phoenix fly over to ignite them."
The cleanup work on the eastern coastline is nearing completion and is expected to be finished today.
The Fire Phoenix, a single spiritual entity, killed countless zombies.
With the little bluebird by her side, Fire Phoenix didn't feel tired at all and went to work happily every day.
Xie Tu nodded: "Yes, we may not be able to take everything out. We'll have to abandon some of the supplies."
With just their small group, it would take them forever to move all the supplies for the entire city.
The longer the delay, the stronger the zombies become.
As the team leader, Xie Tu had to consider the safety of his teammates and make trade-offs.
During the conversation, the convoy soon arrived at the grain wholesale market.
The sentries were the first to get off the vehicle and enter the market to carry out the cleanup.
Yun Zhao and Qi Ling stayed in the car.
One was engrossed in studying nautical knowledge, while the other idly flipped through a novel.
Yun Zhao returned the zombie king romance post-apocalyptic novel to Xie Tu. The one she was currently reading was a ruthless, decisive female protagonist with no romantic partner.
She stopped frowning and complaining, and instead quietly turned the pages of the book.
Their worldviews are somewhat similar.
But the map doesn't look right, and why does the protagonist only encounter villains?
From bloodsucking adoptive parents to the real and fake heiresses who were replaced, the biased older brother and biological parents, to the disgusting landlord and the various characters encountered after the apocalypse.
In short, there wasn't a single good person among them.
"I don't think it's this one either."
Yun Zhao said, "Dong Hui does seem to be one of those A, B, C, and D, but the other survivors don't match up, and the survivors haven't awakened any superpowers like the zombies."
Qi Ling, frowning as he memorized the navigation instructions, said upon hearing this, "If superpowers appear, they must be present in both humans and zombies, so that a confrontation can take place. Could it be that the gatekeeper is just borrowing the world view?"
Yun Zhao thought for a moment: "It's possible, let me take another look."
At this moment, Duan Xi ran out alone, got into the driver's seat, and signaled the vehicles behind to drive into the market.
The cars were parked in front of rows of warehouses.
Xie Tu had already forcibly broken the locks, opening all the warehouses and revealing countless grains inside.
"Move it now!"
Xie Tu turned around and stared at them, "No one is allowed to touch these things now. All those involved will be given ten kilograms of rice each when we get back."
How can someone work if they're carrying dozens of kilograms of stuff on their back?
The survivors had no choice but to comply and get off the vehicle to begin unloading the supplies.
Dong Hui glanced at the superhumans standing guard outside the door, whispered a call to his companions, and walked away into the distance.
He deliberately chose a warehouse in a blind spot.
It seems they plan to use the same trick again and hide another batch of supplies.
Dong Hui was completely unaware that a peregrine falcon was hopping and skipping behind him.
Everyone was working diligently, carrying bags of grain into the truck.
To load more, several people stood on the truck, organizing the grain.
These rice grains, ranging from 5 to 50 kilograms, were packaged into sealed bags.
Everyone carried the loads, making trip after trip.
I don't know how much time passed.
A commotion suddenly arose from the crowd.
Deng Hongfang pointed at Dong Hui with a half-smile and shouted, "Come quick! Someone is embezzling grain here!"
