Chapter 11: The Divine Little Zombie

Xu Duoduo was just teasing him. She casually took out an orange-red thermos from her spatial storage and handed it to him, identical to the ones Chen Xiaofei and Bai Shu had.

It was all preserved egg and lean pork porridge.

Qin Luo finally accepted it with satisfaction. To be honest, it had been almost a month since the apocalypse began, and he hadn't had a proper meal since it started.

He had been either gnawing on dry rations or casually eating a few energy bars, just enough to not feel hungry.

It couldn't be called tasty.

The three of them now felt revived as they sipped the hot porridge.

Chen Xiaofei was the first to eat, pouring it directly onto the lid and blowing on it before eating. After taking a sip, he felt something in his stomach, which also eased his stomach discomfort.

"Phew, that feels good. My God, this moment is simply too blissful. Little Squad Leader, are you a celestial being? You actually have hot porridge!"

To fully embody the term "celestial being," Xu Duoduo swiftly took out a can of hot porridge for Wang Weihu, along with four wooden spoons, four tea eggs, four large meat buns, and a box of cherry tomatoes.

Wow.

This was a complete meal with meat, eggs, and fruit - both nutritious and delicious!

After swallowing a mouthful of porridge, Bai Shu looked at Xu Duoduo with admiration in his eyes. "So much food, Little Squad Leader, how long did it take you to prepare? I guess only our Little Squad Leader would take that warning message from headquarters so seriously."

Otherwise, she wouldn't have prepared so much food in advance, which ended up benefiting them.

Chen Xiaofei had just peeled a tea egg and eaten it in one bite. After happily chewing, he said with his mouth full: "Mmm, so the key question is, what does Little Squad Leader eat? She can't just photosynthesize like a plant, right? We might not even have sunlight in the future, look at those thick dark clouds overhead."

Qin Luo also looked down at Xu Duoduo and found her squatting with her knees hugged to her chest, alone... no, one zombie lost in thought.

"Poor thing."

Qin Luo gave a summary, and Chen Xiaofei and Bai Shu nodded along. It was too pitiful - she had prepared so much food but ended up becoming a zombie.

Xu Duoduo saw their gazes and felt even more helpless. It was simply ridiculous. She was already in a miserable state, and these three still had to stab at her heart. Wuwuwuwu!

The little zombie was in tears.

The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.

Oh, fake tears. She didn't have any, it was just a very grief-stricken expression.

In the end, it was Qin Luo who finished his dinner in a few bites. He took off his gloves and patted her head, saying: "Look how wronged you are. Tell me, what do you want to eat? Let's forget about eating meat, it's too bloody and unsightly. We girls can't do such inelegant things. If you want to drink blood, we few will accompany you to the bitter end and give you our blood to drink?"

Bai Shu had just bitten into a bun when he heard this and laughed, "It's come full circle, bro. Little Squad Leader gave us food, and now we're giving Little Squad Leader food to eat. Hey, does this count as our Little Squad Leader also eating the food she prepared herself?"

Chen Xiaofei heard this and started laughing with his head down, his shoulders shaking.

Xu Duoduo's face was full of exasperation. She raised her hand to brush away Qin Luo's hand, indicating refusal. She wasn't hungry at the moment and had no desire for blood or flesh.

Qin Luo, on the other hand, was genuinely looking down and checking the information. He found that ordinary zombies craved blood and raw meat, but there was nothing mentioned about special cases like Xu Duoduo - zombies that actually had abilities. This point was very strange.

Even in the later stages, no matter how deformed the different factions of evolved beings became, they still had heartbeats. There really weren't any special cases like Xu Duoduo.

Bai Shu later joined the information-checking army, as did Chen Xiaofei.

Unfortunately, they couldn't find any reliable information.

Xu Duoduo was very curious about their tablets, as well as their watches.

After Wang Weihu finished comforting the survivors on the other side, he also walked over to this side. "What are you guys eating? I could smell it as soon as I came over."

It smelled too good.

As he spoke, he looked back, thankfully the survivors were also somewhat afraid of them and didn't come close to this side, otherwise it would have been easy to discover.

Chen Xiaofei immediately offered the food Xu Duoduo had reserved for Wang Weihu, "Hurry up and eat, then shut up. Little Squad Leader brought it, I'm telling you it smells amazing!"

When Wang Weihu heard this, he was shocked. He guiltily glanced towards the survivors, who were all eating instant noodles over there. The smell of instant noodles was stronger, and with the distance, it really wouldn't be discovered, but these three were also quite bold.

"Aren't you afraid they'll make a fuss? What if they say we're giving preferential treatment?"

That's what he said.

But Wang Weihu also couldn't refuse such a thermos of hot preserved egg and lean pork porridge. He still took it and started eating it, head down.

After eating, his stomach felt much better. It tasted so much better than those dry rations and sickeningly sweet energy bars!

Qin Luo and Bai Shu researched for half a day but couldn't find any guidelines on how to raise a zombie. Therefore, they could only take it one step at a time and see how things went.

Wang Weihu looked at Xu Duoduo. He always thought more than the other three. "Are we just going to bring Little Squad Leader along like this? What will others think?"

Before Qin Luo could speak.

Chen Xiaofei exploded first, "What? Old Wang, let me tell you, the porridge in your hand is from Little Squad Leader! You can't bite the hand that feeds you!"

Bai Shu also glanced at them.

Qin Luo, on the other hand, seemed very fond of her, not minding at all that Xu Duoduo was a zombie. He protected her and said: "What's wrong? Isn't Xu Duoduo fine? She's not rotting or smelly, how can you dislike her?"

As he spoke, he scooped up Xu Duoduo again, holding her in his arms like a big doll.

Wang Weihu could barely eat anymore. He said helplessly: "I'm not disliking Little Squad Leader, what kind of person do you think I am? Except for her eyes, you can't really tell anything's wrong with Little Squad Leader if you don't look closely. Why don't we say we have some colored contacts or something, have her wear them a bit, to avoid causing unnecessary trouble."

Truly worthy of the father figure role. Bai Shu and Chen Xiaofei looked at him with newfound respect. "That makes a lot of sense!" "Mm-hmm, it's indeed a solution."

Qin Luo started pondering where to get some colored contacts, and looked down to ask Xu Duoduo if she had any.

Xu Duoduo actually did... She hesitantly took out a box of colored contacts, but this kind of delicate work was beyond her current abilities, so she looked at the three of them.

Bai Shu immediately said: "Whoever's first love she is, that person helps her put them on. We two won't interfere."

Chen Xiaofei nodded in agreement.

No choice.

Qin Luo didn't bother to explain anything more and just took the colored contacts to study them. "Wait, how do you put these on?"

In the end, Bai Shu and Chen Xiaofei still came over to help. The three straight men studied how to put colored contacts on a little zombie.

Wang Weihu watched the three of them acting like nerves of steel. Actually, daring to bring Xu Duoduo along was firstly because they had enough ability to ensure they could kill her if she lost her mind, to prevent her from hurting other survivors. Secondly, zombies with residual consciousness were truly rare. Special cases like this were usually brought back to headquarters' research institute to see if they could be saved.

So bringing her along was fine. This was also part of their mission.

In the end, Qin Luo clumsily managed to put the colored contacts on Xu Duoduo. They were amber-colored, looking much better than her gray, cloudy eyes. The three of them all exclaimed "Wow!" in unison, repeatedly praising how good she looked. One could say they were being extremely supportive.

Fine then.

What a day this has been.
