Chuchu: "Mmm!"
Chirp picked up the little whistle and blew it hard.
A few steps away, the high-level zombies heard the whistle and quietly moved to the side.
A moment later.
The few humans who remained couldn't take it anymore. They bypassed Yu An and ran ahead without looking back.
"You're all in cahoots, you're in cahoots with the zombies."
Those men were yelling and desperately trying to escape.
Yu An's eyes flickered, and the next second—
He personally tied up those people.
"I will not wrong an innocent person."
After tying them up, Yu An said calmly, "If you haven't done anything heinous, I will definitely protect you."
The men were tightly bound, and their eyes were filled with resentment as they looked at Yu An.
Just after they were tied up, footsteps sounded from behind.
Before Yu An could turn around, she heard Chirp's delighted voice.
"Brother Sun!"
Chirp happily rushed over, showing no unfamiliarity with the approaching figure.
The zombie king, Sun Mo, has not appeared since they parted ways at the bottom of the cliff.
Yu An turned around, and when she saw who it was, even though she was mentally prepared, a hint of surprise still flashed in her eyes.
"Sun Mo".
He turned back and looked carefully at the person he hadn't seen in so long. When he found that the other person was alright, the heavy weight in his heart was suddenly lifted: "That's great, we're going to see each other again."
Sun Mo looked even better than last time. He bent down and picked up Qiuqiu.
“I heard Chirp whistling.”
"I made him blow it."
Yu An smiled and said to Sun Mo, "Those zombies recognized Qiu Qiu's whistle. I thought you might be nearby, so I had Qiu Qiu blow the whistle to see if I could call you out."
Chiu Chiu wrapped her arms around Sun Mo's neck, her pretty little face full of pride.
"I blew my whistle to wake you up!"
"Um."
When Sun Mo gave Qiuqiu the whistle, he told him to blow it when he was in danger.
So when Sun Mo heard the whistle, he assumed that the person was in danger and rushed over without thinking.
With Sun Mo's appearance, the situation on the scene became easier to resolve.
Sun Mo held Qiuqiu and chatted with the high-level zombies for a while.
Then he told Yu An, "These humans cannot be allowed to live."
"They robbed their own kind of supplies and killed their own kind. Among those they killed was a pregnant woman."
“There was a wave of zombies just now; they were their partners. They cooperated with the zombies to lure their kind out. The zombies would eat the people they lured out, while they would take the supplies of their kind for themselves.”
Despite the harsh environment, these people have all managed to gain weight.
Seeing their actions exposed, the group hurriedly tried to cover it up: "It's all a misunderstanding. We didn't want to cooperate with the zombies. They forced us to."
"If we don't agree, they'll kill us!!!"
"We just want to live, what's wrong with that!"
Upon hearing this, Yu An's expression also turned cold. He stared at these people, feeling nothing but disgust.
"You want to live, but don't the people you killed also want to live?!"
Seeing that Yu An was no longer paying attention to them, the high-level zombies who were standing to the side tentatively walked over.
They took the people on the ground away, and Yu An didn't stop them once more.
When the group realized that Yu An really wasn't going to save them, their initial pleas for help turned into a string of curses.
Those foul words were unbearable to hear, and Chiu Chiu got really angry.
He puffed out his cheeks and said angrily, "They insulted my older brother!"
Upon hearing this, Sun Mo replied in a low voice, "They are about to die."
After those people were dragged away, Yu An didn't see them again.
"Sun Mo, I have a small task to do. Could you help me look after Qiuqiu for a while?"
"good."
Yu An hadn't forgotten his mission; he would receive a reward after completing these tasks.
Xie Chiyuan couldn't be the only one supporting his family, so he had to work hard to earn money to support the whole family.
After handing Qiuqiu over to Sun Mo, Yu An went about his own business.
I was busy until evening.
When Yu An returned, Qiu Qiu was playing with Sun Mo.
Sun Mo seems to have traveled to many places and collected many trinkets, which he has now left to Qiuqiu.
Hearing the giggling laughter and seeing Sun Mo patiently playing with her, Yu An's mood improved.
"Sun Mo, come back with me."
Yu An extended an invitation to Sun Mo: "There is also a zombie king in the West District now, and Xie Chiyuan is cooperating with this zombie king."
With the old man acting as a go-between, Sun Mo might not be ostracized if he goes back to the West District with him.
Sun Mo remained silent for a while before shaking her head and declining his invitation.
"I'm used to being free, so I'm not going to go with you."
He still has no intention of going to the human base.
Yu An was a little disappointed. If Sun Mo didn't go with him, they would have to separate again, and Qiu Qiu would probably be unhappy too.
really.
Chiu Chiu understood what Sun Mo meant and became a little anxious: "Brother Sun, aren't you coming back with us? Come on, let's go together!"
Sun Mo rubbed his head but didn't answer.
The group sat there, and Sun Mo looked up and told Yu An what he was doing: "My control over the other zombies has become stronger. These past few days, I've been taking them around."
"If you encounter any people in distress, just lend a hand."
"Whether I go to the base or not, I don't think it makes any difference."
Sun Mo thought the same as Yu An: he was still the zombie Sun Mo who would help humans, but he no longer trusted humans as he used to.
"The source zombie has been found in the West District."
Yu An told Sun Mo the news: "With the source zombies, there is a possibility that this zombie crisis can be resolved."
“But we can’t communicate with the Source Zombies, Sun Mo, I still want to ask you to go to the West District.”
"Isn't there already a zombie king in the West District?"
While Sun Mo was outside, he also heard some things. For example, the collaboration between the West District and the Zombie King.
“I don’t really trust that zombie king,” Yu An said bluntly. “I only trust you.”
Chirp, who was listening in, nodded vigorously.
He held the little trinket Sun Mo had given him and said earnestly, "Chiu Chiu also believes in Brother Sun!"
Yu An and Qiu Qiu invited him together, and in the end, Sun Mo finally wavered.
He genuinely hoped that the West District could develop a vaccine from the source zombies.
“I’ll go back with you.”
As Sun Mo spoke, he made another request: "I won't stay in the West District for long. I'll leave once I've resolved all the troubles."
Yu An hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay."
When Yu An went out, she only brought a little bird with her, but when she came back, she brought a zombie king with her.
The other kids who had never seen Sun Mo before looked at him curiously.
Chiu Chiu stood in front of Sun Mo and politely introduced herself to them.
Yu An watched them tentatively make contact, took a picture, and sent it to Xie Chiyuan.
Xie Chiyuan never expected to find Sun Mo.
The two chatted on their phones while Sun Mo was led into the secret shield by Qiu Qiu.
Night falls.
Chiu Chiu sat next to his older brother and, as usual, made a video call to Tiger Cub. He happily introduced Sun Mo to Tiger Cub.
Yu An glanced at the tiger cub and noticed that its expression wasn't too good.
With Sun Mo around, Yu An's safety level increased significantly when he went out to do small tasks.
Xie Chiyuan also urged Yu An to come back.
He showed Yu An photos of the bamboo garden, which was almost finished being built: "Come back soon, so you can see the garden open."
Yu An asked in surprise, "Your garden is quite big, are you really going to let Sanzai live here?"
"right."
Xie Chiyuan smiled and said, "The people at the base don't know why I built this garden."
Yu An: "..."
Got it, they're saving a big surprise.
