Chapter 61 She bears his mark.
"Have you heard? There were zombies again last night?"
"I didn't see them. I didn't dare go out last night. Dong Shisan and the others in Area A are all dead. What is my superpower? It's not even enough to fill the gaps between the zombies' teeth."
"Sigh, I thought I'd be set for life once I got to the base, but I never expected that even after arriving..."
"In my opinion, we should head to other major cities... we don't only have one base."
"Shh, keep your voice down, it's better than outside, right? Stop talking, stop talking."
Tang Shengnan was downstairs eating melon seeds. While munching on a cookie, she turned to Meng Xiaoyou and asked, "Why are your eyes so red?"
Meng Xiaoyou yawned and pouted, "Pei Sinian is bullying Mushroom... people."
"How did he bully her?" Tang Shengnan became interested. Could it be that the man pinned his girlfriend down on the bed and kissed her?
Forgive Tang Shengnan, that big yellow girl; after all, she's been through it all and knows a lot about that kind of thing between couples.
Aside from being a bit aloof, Pei Sinian and Xiao Piaoliang are a good match.
A handsome man and a beautiful woman, bored in the apocalypse, unable to even hold their phones, they have a ready-made couple by their side, so why not ship them?
She asked with some sympathy, "Your boyfriend must be very passionate when he kisses you, right?"
Meng Xiaoyou asked in confusion, "What... how could he kiss me? He was the one who pinned me down and pinched me."
Tang Shengnan looked utterly shocked: "No way, you two sleep in the same bed every day, and he actually pinched and held you down? Is he even a man?"
When Tang Shengnan was dating someone before, that jerk of a man would grope her and try to take advantage of her every day, but she usually managed to slap him away.
Pei Sinian, on the other hand, had such a beautiful girlfriend in front of him, and all he did was pinch her?
She was at a loss for words: "No, he didn't do anything else?"
The little mushroom got angry when this was mentioned.
"He squeezed all my superpowers out of me."
unacceptable!
All the bubbles were taken by the man, leaving her feeling utterly drained.
Mushroom was indignant at the time, tearfully accusing him of his evil deeds. She looked weak, pitiful, and helpless. No man would have the heart to bully her.
But Pei Sinian did the opposite; he simply covered her eyes and continued to rob her of her bubbles, poking her face until it was bright red and almost bleeding.
However, Meng Xiaoyou was so focused on crying that she forgot about the ghost.
The memory of her past life suddenly struck her, and she quickly grabbed Tang Shengnan's sleeve, "Did you hear any strange noises this morning, or in the early hours of the morning?"
"Yes, I have."
Meng Xiaoyou immediately gripped the hem of her clothes, but Tang Shengnan was baffled: "Wasn't it your boyfriend who came and took you away? You can sleep too much, you don't even know that? Shouldn't you do something about your boyfriend? Stop him from coming to my place in the middle of the night to bail you out every day?"
Not only did they try to get her out of trouble, but they also gave her that cold, disdainful look.
Here it comes, just as I wished. The familiar cold air swept in, and Tang Shengnan rubbed her arms. She turned her head and saw the man slowly returning from a distance, holding a purple lunchbox in his hand. He glanced at Tang Shengnan with a hint of personal grudge and stuffed the lunchbox into Meng Xiaoyou's hand.
These past two days, Pei Sinian has frequently used the base's kitchen to cook for Meng Xiaoyou.
Occasionally, he would try to learn from the people at the base, but each time he was only passable. After all, although zombies have a keen sense of smell, their tongues cannot taste human food. He couldn't even distinguish between sugar and salt in the kitchen. In the library, he used bags of white sugar with clear writing on them, but at the base, they used boxes and jars, making it impossible to tell what they were.
Once, I put some salt in Meng Xiaoyou's porridge.
Fortunately, he knew that too much sugar was bad for human teeth, so he always controlled the sugar in his mushroom porridge and didn't add too much salt.
Otherwise, the mushrooms would definitely have been killed by his culinary disaster.
Aside from instant noodles and porridge, he's terrible at everything else, yet he's both a culinary novice and loves to cook. He's extremely controlling and insists on personally cooking for Meng Xiaoyou.
The ingredients were all from Meng Xiaoyou's space. She looked at the meat pieces in the porridge with great melancholy; they were still a bit red and didn't look very cooked.
Tang Shengnan, standing to the side, looked at her expectantly and said, "Just make do with this. At least someone is cooking for you, so you can have something hot to eat."
"Then let's switch."
Tang Shengnan's breakfast consisted only of convenient biscuits and the like; as long as she could survive after eating, that was enough. She shook her head repeatedly, saying, "Never mind, you eat it. After all, he made it for you. I'm afraid he'll kill me."
"Sigh!" Life is tough, Mushroom sighed, picked up a spoon and slurped down her food. After eating half of it, she rolled her eyes and handed it to Pei Sinian, "I'm done eating."
Pei Sinian skillfully ate the remaining two bites, cleaned the lunchbox with his water-based abilities, and handed it to her.
Meng Xiaoyou breathed a sigh of relief and quickly put the item back into her spatial storage.
Just then, a commotion arose not far away.
"Ah, zombies!"
Upon hearing this, chaos erupted within the base. Meng Xiaoyou quickly straightened her back and looked in the direction of the voice.
Although the superhumans in Zone D were not of high level, they managed to maintain composure when the zombies appeared.
Before long, a familiar figure arrived with the patrol team from Moonlight Base. Cui Shiping looked at the mess and quickly cleared away the zombies. People who approached the zombie area were isolated and would be released in two hours.
He looked around and said to the superhumans present, "The base took you all in, not to keep idle people. There have been quite a few zombies lately, so please don't wander around. Be aware of your surroundings. I will assign tasks to you later. Thank you for your cooperation."
Everyone who enters the base is screened, yet they still turned into zombies after two hours. It's very likely that the incubation period of the zombie virus has been extended, or perhaps... there were already zombies in the base.
Soon, the task allocation list came down from above, requiring all the superhumans to take turns patrolling, with each person patrolling for four hours.
Team up in pairs.
Since she was staying at someone else's base, Meng Xiaoyou had no objections. However, she originally wanted to team up with Pei Sinian or Tang Shengnan, but the teammates she was paired with were ordered by her superiors.
Her gaze fell on the name next to her own—Song Zhenwan.
"It's a girl..." Tang Shengnan leaned closer, then found her own name, which was a boy's. She muttered "Damn it" in annoyance, but when she saw Pei Sinian, she couldn't help but gloat: "How did you assign someone like that!"
Pei Sinian stood calmly to the side, appearing indifferent, but his gaze behind his glasses silently fell on the three words next to Meng Xiaoyou, and he pursed his thin lips.
Checking the time again, Meng Xiaoyou was scheduled for 6 PM to 9 PM, while Pei Sinian took over after 9 PM.
Tang Shengnan was worried because it was daytime. She said, "It's not convenient to look at things at night. Something might suddenly appear. I'll go ask Cui Shiping if we can change the time."
"No need." Although Meng Xiaoyou was timid, she didn't want to make an exception. She shook her head. "It's fine."
Tang Shengnan disagreed and turned to urge Pei Sinian, "You should try to persuade her."
Pei Sinian calmly shifted his gaze elsewhere, showing no concern whatsoever about humans being carried away by zombies.
She bears his mark.
At most, she'll cry from fright, and she'll snuggle into his arms...
