Yu An had no choice but to let him go.
On the road.
Yu An saw that Qiu Qiu had opened a video call with Wu Zai, and he showed his eldest brother's face to the other end of the video.
"Hey."
"Big brother is here."
Qiuqiu sat next to Yu An and held up her phone so that Yu An could easily see Wu Zai.
Yu An hadn't seen Wu Zai for a long time. Wu Zai had wanted to come over last time, but after learning that Xie Chiyuan had gone ahead of time, he turned back.
Wu Zai had something to ask Yu An during this video call.
"Big brother, have you confirmed the identity and origin of the Source Zombie you brought back?"
The East District is now a major area for mutants. Mutants and zombies may seem unrelated, but they are actually closely connected.
The most important function of mutants nowadays is to kill zombies.
If zombies disappear, the demand for mutants will naturally decrease as well.
Yu An didn't think about these complicated details. He simply said, "This zombie is a student at an agricultural university. They have experience going out to collect folk songs and stories. This zombie may have contracted the disease outside and brought it back to the school."
However, it remains unknown where the original zombie went before it became infected.
Whether there were other people who went out to collect folk songs at that time is also unknown.
“We have a partner lab called El Labs in the East District. Da Zai asked me to ask you if you want to cooperate.”
"cooperate?"
Yu An didn't understand. He wondered, "What does Da Zai want to cooperate with the West District on?"
"Cooperation in vaccine production."
Yu An: "..."
Yu An fell silent.
He was genuinely a little surprised. This rebellious little brat, Da Zai, was obsessed with causing trouble and had absolutely no liking for humans.
Now they're suddenly asking for collaborations again, this time for vaccine production. It's really a bit of a departure from their public image.
"Wait until I ask Xie Chiyuan."
Yu An did not give an immediate answer, but said he would ask first.
Wu Zai wasn't in a hurry, he just nodded.
Wu Zai wasn't talkative, and he couldn't imitate the other Zai's sweet talk, so after he finished speaking, he remained silent.
Seeing that he was so bored, Yu An told him to continue chatting with Qiu Qiu.
Despite being socially awkward in front of others, Chiu Chiu can chatter away nonstop in front of people she's close to.
He chattered on and on, talking to Wu Zai about high-level matters and showering him with compliments—
"Meow meow is the best."
"I love cats the most!"
The reason why Chirp's compliments are so effective, Yu An concluded from the side, is that when Chirp gives compliments, its expression is serious and its tone is sincere.
Such sincere flattery was too much for Yu An to bear.
I played videos the whole way.
Chiu Chiu's shower of compliments almost overwhelmed Wu Zai. However, Wu Zai probably didn't expect that not long after hanging up the phone, Chiu Chiu's compliments would be directed at another person she hadn't seen in a long time.
wrong.
Not human.
Is it a zombie king, or a zombie king that Yu An and Qiu Qiu both like very much?
Chapter 140
Chiu Chiu's video call ended when their car stopped.
After they hung up the video call, Yu An couldn't help but ask, "Chiu Chiu, don't you get annoyed that you and Wu Zai are always on the phone?"
These two kids call each other more often than he and Xie Chiyuan do.
He couldn't understand why the two little ones had so much to say.
"It's not annoying."
Chiu Chiu jumped off the car. They were driving an electric car, and Yu An drove it quite steadily.
Surprisingly, Chiu Chiu, who is prone to motion sickness, didn't vomit on the bus.
He stepped firmly onto the ground, looked up at his older brother, and said, "I won't bother Meow Meow!"
Meow Meow is so cute, he can watch him all day long even if he doesn't talk! And Meow Meow will talk to him. Besides telling him what he does every day, Meow Meow will also tell him stories and lull him to sleep.
Yu An was also impressed by their way of getting along.
The two walked side by side, and Yu An took Qiu Qiu's hand to keep him from running around.
They are currently undertaking small tasks, such as supporting the construction of the small base and eliminating dangers near the small base to improve its living environment.
There are often groups of zombies near some small bases.
Not only are humans clustering together to build bases, but zombies are now also forming groups.
The threat posed to humanity by hordes of zombies increases dramatically, especially if a high-level zombie becomes the leader. These are invaders; unlike humans who build bases, they attack and hunt existing human bases.
What Yu An needs to do today is to clean up the zombie horde around a newly built small base.
"Chirp chirp, you should stay on the rock and not come down."
Yu An lowered her head and instructed Qiu Qiu beside her, "Otherwise, it will get your clothes dirty. You're wearing white clothes today, which are hard to wash."
Just like her older brother, Chiu Chiu loves to dress up, and sure enough, she hesitated for a moment.
He tugged at his clothes and frowned. "But brother, I want to protect you."
When they come out lately, it's always the older brother fighting while he watches from the sidelines.
He felt completely useless!
"Be good, your big brother doesn't need your protection."
Yu An had so much energy he didn't know where to channel it, and Xie Chiyuan wasn't around either. He could only vent his excess energy by taking on more tasks.
Moreover, Tang Yi said that his evolution has not stopped.
Strangely, apart from possessing the directional hunting ability of Chirp, he has not evolved any other abilities.
Reflecting on his previous experience, he felt that perhaps he had missed some opportunities to stimulate evolution.
for example--
To deal with another zombie horde.
With this in mind, Yu Ancai diligently went out to work every day with Qiuqiu.
However, they only encountered small-scale zombies, which they could easily eliminate without any effort.
Although they haven't seen any zombies yet, Yu An is already wishing that all the zombies would come over in droves.
If he kills them all at once, the small base will be safer in the future.
The two, one big and one small, walked on like that, not knowing how long they had walked.
"Big brother, there's sound!"
Chiu Chiu's ears twitched, and he scratched Yu An's palm, reminding his older brother.
Yu An also heard the sound. He looked around and finally found a wooden stake. He didn't know how the stake had been cut, but the cut was just big enough to hold a small bird.
"come over."
He let Chiu Chiu sit down on the wooden stake, and then handed her the bag he had brought with him.
"You stay here, play on your phone and eat, and wait for your older brother to come back."
"Um!"
Chiu Chiu's greatest strength is her obedience, especially to Yu An.
If it were any other cub today, it would never be sitting obediently on the wooden stake.
Thinking of this, Yu An followed the sound and walked even faster.
He wanted a quick victory.
After walking for a few minutes, Yu An heard the howls of zombies and the pleas of humans for mercy.
The scene was somewhat strange, with several humans kneeling on the ground and two groups of zombies facing off against each other.
Humans are sandwiched in the very middle.
The horde of zombies on the left pointed at the humans and shouted, "Roar!"
We're taking it!
The horde of zombies on the right seemed slightly calmer, but they were still just as fierce: "Roar!"
You are not allowed to take it away!
The two sides were locked in a stalemate for a short while when one of the zombies on the far left suddenly raised its neck and roared angrily.
Yu An had heard many kinds of howls from zombies, and he was very familiar with the howl he was hearing now.
Because that's the sound that attracts companions.
really.
Not long after the howling subsided, heavy footsteps sounded from afar.
Just by listening to the footsteps, Yu An knew that there were quite a few zombies coming.
