Yu An pinched Qiu Qiu's little wings to stop him from shaking: "Be good, don't rush to fight."
The zombies around them gradually revealed their faces.
Looking at the zombies, Yu An suddenly remembered what Lu Chao had said at the base: "The zombie who led this time escaped from the laboratory, and his name is Sun Mo."
He steadied himself, freeing his other hand to expose the arm that had been bitten.
Then, he yelled at the zombies, "Roar!"
Hello!
We are the same kind!
Yu An's sudden roar caught the surrounding zombies off guard, causing them to freeze in shock.
Yu An pressed on: "Roar!"
Do you guys have a leader? Can I meet him?
Yu An wasn't sure if his shout was correct; in fact, he didn't know much about the howls of zombies. The reason he was able to communicate with Sun Mo in the first place was because Sun Mo could utter some sentences intermittently.
"roar?"
"Awooo?"
"Roar?"
The roars, rising and falling, were making Yu An's ears ache. He stared blankly at the zombies that were closing in on him again, unsure whether he had joined them or not.
Yu An, who was focused on observing the zombies, did not notice that Qiu Qiu, whom he was holding hands with, was also looking up at him in a daze.
Xie Chiyuan said that zombies are bad.
When Qiuqiu came out, she was already prepared to fight zombies for her older brother.
But why did his older brother turn into a zombie before he even started fighting?
Chiu Chiu's little face was blank and confused.
At this moment, both the big and the small are feeling lost.
The zombies were still closing in, and their numbers were considerable. Even though Yu An was usually calm, he still felt a slight chill when he saw so many unsightly zombies.
He took two steps back, trying to remain calm: "Huh?"
Sorry, I have social anxiety, could you please keep a little distance?
Chapter 80
Yu An's roar didn't seem to be countered by his kind; otherwise, they wouldn't have bared their teeth as they approached him.
Chiu Chiu's little body was tense. Just a second before he was about to launch an attack, Yu An pulled him into his arms.
"fine."
Yu An buried his face in his lower abdomen, not allowing him to look out: "Big brother can handle it."
The little zombie that tastes like bitter melon is completely fearless!
Yu An knew his son was A10, and that he was considered very strong by everyone. But in his eyes, his son was just a kid who had just recovered a little.
If he can handle it, there's no need to let the kid do it.
Yu An fearlessly stretched out his arm and deliberately stuffed it into the zombie's mouth. More than being devoured by the zombie, he was afraid that the zombie would covet his head.
It's important to know that evolving zombies will eat the crystal cores inside the heads of their own kind.
Yu An had never had his head examined, but he felt that a little zombie like him who could stay conscious must have a crystal core in his head.
"Roar!"
The zombie, whose mouth was poked by Yu An's arm, took a small bite without any politeness. After tasting it, his already unsightly face immediately showed an expression as if the sky had fallen and the earth had cracked.
"Roar! Roar roar!"
This zombie is rotten and can't be eaten!
The first zombie to eat bitter melon clearly understood zombie language better than this incompetent little zombie, Yu An. Under his roar, even the zombies who were initially willing to join in looked at him with disgust.
Yu An's bitterness had unknowingly been upgraded, but he didn't feel frustrated at all; instead, he felt like he had gained a protective shield.
The zombies that had just surrounded the area are now retreating.
As for Qiuqiu in Yu An's arms, whether it was because he was too short to be seen or for some other reason, the zombies completely ignored him.
Yu An watched the zombies leave, and shamelessly followed them.
Since the zombies weren't biting him, he decided to follow them and see what they were up to. If he could find a chance, he hoped to learn a few more zombie phrases.
Chiu Chiu held onto her older brother's finger and followed him.
After walking a few steps, Qiuqiu couldn't help but look up at her older brother and ask, "Big brother, have you turned into a zombie?"
Yu An hesitated for a moment, then nodded. He didn't need to hide this from the children.
Chiu Chiu frowned, struggled briefly, and then changed her mind: "Then I'll like zombies from now on!"
Yu An: "..."
Yu An was speechless.
His kid's mind is really easily swayed.
"Chirp chirp, zombies that eat people are not good zombies, and humans who do bad things are not good people either. It's not something that can be decided in a single sentence whether you like one side or hate the other."
Yu An patted Qiu Qiu's head and whispered, "But we're being paid by humans now and eating nutritional paste given by Dr. Ruan, so we have to help with the work."
Chiu Chiu nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
In Yu An's mind, he actually preferred to be human. After all, he had been human for so long, and had only been a zombie for a few months.
And there's Dad, and Mom who passed away; they're all human beings too.
The two, one big and one small, followed behind the zombie, whispering to each other, "Chirp chirp, once everything calms down, our family will leave everything behind."
"I will work hard to earn money to buy you nutritional supplements. You don't need to do anything. Just stay safe and healthy and stay with your big brother."
Yu An's wish from beginning to end was for her family to be reunited and live a peaceful and stable life.
However, in his previous plan for a family, there was no eldest member.
After following the zombies for a while, the two finally realized what they were doing: they were looking for food!
Not all humans live in the base; there will always be humans wandering outside for reasons unknown. And they are the food that the zombies seek.
Fresh humans and the crystal cores of their companions are all food for zombies.
However, these zombies seemed to have agreed to hunt together, and there was no sign of them killing each other.
Yu An followed along the way, feeling both tired and sleepy.
He was still holding Qiuqiu in his arms, his arms felt like they were made of lead, and he could barely lift them.
The socially awkward Qiuqiu fared a little better with the non-human zombies. He showed no signs of discomfort and slept quite comfortably in Yu An's arms.
Time passed little by little.
The zombie hunting party did encounter a lone human, but with Yu An stirring things up, the human ran away at the sound of the commotion before they could even surround them.
From nightfall until four in the morning, Yu An successfully prevented the zombies from getting a single midnight snack.
The zombie, unable to bear it any longer, glared at him and roared, "Roar!!!"
Get rid of this scoundrel!
Seeing that they were serious, Yu An's drowsiness vanished instantly. He hugged Qiu Qiu tightly, turned around, and ran away.
Chiu Chiu was jolted awake in his arms, still groggy and unaware of what was happening, and didn't see the zombies following behind.
He clutched the fabric at his older brother's chest and chuckled twice, finding the jostling quite amusing.
Fortunately, Yu An's car was parked not far away.
He put Qiuqiu in the car, started the engine, and sped off.
There were no streetlights at night, only the moon hanging overhead was bright enough to faintly illuminate the road and the shadows on it.
Not far from the road, a dark shadow flashed by in the low hills.
Yu An didn't see clearly; he was targeted by the furious zombies behind him, who chased after his car, roaring incessantly.
Yu An gripped the steering wheel and sighed, "Sigh."
How exactly do we fix the zombies' language?
Even if a little zombie like him, who can't understand zombie language, rejoins the zombie ranks, he probably won't be able to survive.
Upon waking up, Qiuqiu calmly fastened her seatbelt. After fastening it, she pulled out a plastic bag as a precaution, ready to use it at any time.
Besides the plastic bag, Qiuqiu was also holding a mineral water bottle in her other hand.
Yu An caught a glimpse of this scene while driving and was immediately filled with shame: "Chuchu, I'll definitely practice my driving skills again when I get back."
He used to resent people saying he wasn't a good driver, but he refused to admit it.
Now, seeing the little boy clutching the plastic bag and water bottle tightly in his hands, ready to vomit at any moment, Yu An couldn't save face.
When Chiu Chiu heard her older brother's words, she obediently comforted him, "Big brother, it doesn't matter whether you practice or not. I'll stop throwing up after sitting a few more times!"
Yu An: "..."
That's even more embarrassing.
To shake off the zombies behind him, Yu An didn't turn on the navigation; he just drove as soon as he saw a main road. In such an emergency, he couldn't think of a route anyway.
The car had been driving for an unknown amount of time, and the number of zombies chasing it gradually decreased.
Sitting in the car, Yu An heard the zombies' unwilling roars.
Zombie 1 made a decision: "Pass the word down that if you see this mutated zombie again, you must kill him!"
Zombie 2 cursed, "I should have knocked his head off last night!"
Zombie 3 joined in the condemnation: "This kind of mutated zombie is a disgrace to our zombie community, we must expose him!"
