That night, Teacher Ren and Master Yi slept with their backs facing each other. Their postures indicated their determination to stay away from each other. However, when he woke up the next day, Teacher Ren rolled his eyes. He found that he had already rolled into a certain zombie’s arms and had also wrapped an arm and a leg around him.
Great King Yi opened his eyes, using his gaze to express: Last night, you rolled into my arms yourself. Look, your arm and your leg are evidence.
Ren Zhu felt that ever since his partner turned into a zombie, his IQ seemed to have also decreased a lot.
After getting up and washing up, Mao Gan Cao and Gou Jian Fei also got up. Ren Zhu added three ham sausages to the instant noodles he was currently making. It was a pity that there were no eggs, but in the apocalypse, to be able to eat instant noodles in the morning could also be considered a well-off and even luxurious life.
“We went to see Fatty Jin, Liu Ming Qing and the others yesterday. Since they have ability users in their team and had a lot of food in their cars, they all rented houses. Although the houses are not as good as ours, they’re enough to block the wind and rain and provide them a good place to rest.”
“Also, Jin Yu from Uncle Fatty Jin’s family is amazing. It is said that he already has a certain potential for a metal ability. It is estimated that he will soon be able to awaken this power. Tsk, if this were before the apocalypse, it would definitely be the kind of ability I want the most! Is it possible to turn stones into gold?!” Gou Jian Fei sighed.
Next to him, Mao Gan Cao doused him in cold water: “If this ability were given to you, you would end up in a police station, or in a research room to be dissected with your inability to hide anything for three minutes.” After saying this, he didn’t wait for Gou Jian Fei to retort and continued: “The situation with Senior and the others isn’t bad either. I heard that Senior Shi was initially going to lead them to come find you, Dage, but Old Huo and Xiao Xue felt that they had a lot of potential, so they dragged them into the ability users reserve team. Senior Shi has the potential to become a psychic ability user. Also Dage, you should know ah, the constitutions of the guys from the sports academy are indeed frightening. Of the 15 people, there are 10 who have the potential for physically enhanced abilities!”
Hearing this, Ren Zhu nodded with satisfaction: “This way, they should be able to live pretty good lives. They’ll also be able to obtain suitable training and development. I don’t have to worry as much anymore.”
Mao Gan Cao and Gou Jian Fei nodded in agreement: “If we hadn’t followed Boss, we probably would have followed Senior Shi and the others.”
“Ah, also, Dage, do you still remember the family on that minivan? Two big interesting matters came from their family.”
Ren Zhu looked at Gou Jian Fei and suddenly appeared to take joy in other people’s misfortune. He raised an eyebrow: “What interesting matters?”
“About that pretty lady who kept wanting to talk to Xiao Mao in the middle of the night, after she entered the base, she broke up with Hu Tian. We just happened to see the break up scene when we went over. That girl was standing intimately next to an ability user and told Hu Tian with deep emotions that she was a bad person. She was very grateful for the time and care Hu Tian had invested in their relationship, but she couldn’t help but fall in love with someone else. Seeing that fake soft and delicate appearance, I really wanted to go up and slap her several times in the face. If it weren’t for the second interesting matter at that time, Hu Tian might have really started a fight with Liu Xiao Shuang.”
Ren Zhu looked at Gou Jian Fei’s smile and suddenly said: “Hu Hong left?”
Gou Jian Fei was shocked: “How did you know?! Dage, you’re really amazing! You can even guess this!”
Ren Zhu shook his head: “What’s so hard to guess? The entire way, Hu Hong watched as the Hu family courted disaster without making a sound. Either he’s already been tamed by the Hu family and became their guard dog, or he had already made plans in his heart and just needed a final justification.”

Mao Gan Cao nodded: “Right, at that time, Hu Tian was so angry that he directly called Hu Hong over to help him vent his anger, but as a result, Hu Hong directly said ‘we’ve already arrived at the base, I will no longer follow you guys’. He immediately left after saying this, his back view directly and efficiently expressing his intentions. At that time, Hu Tian was completely stunned. Afterwards, Hu Tian’s mother directly ran over and started a verbal attack on Hu Hong’s back, saying stuff like their family raised a thankless wretch, they should have known that Hu Hong would be this kind of scum, and that in the beginning, they shouldn’t have taken him in and cared for him! Tsk tsk, those words were extremely vulgar, but Hu Hong ignored them the entire time. In the end, Hu Tian and his mother dejectedly left.”
Mao Gan Cao then scoffed: “Don’t look at how the Hu family had scolded Hu Hong so fiercely at that time. I can bet with anyone that after a few days, they will think of every possible method to find Hu Hong and continue to cling to him like a parasite. Their entire family is vermin, they can’t survive on their own. They have never thought of investing time and reaping what they sow. They always want to get something for nothing.”
Next to him, Gou Jian Fei nodded with righteous indignation. Ren Zhu ate his last bite of instant noodles and said: “If it were a peaceful world, it might just be enough for them to live reaping without sowing, but in this world, if they don’t change, they will quickly face death.”
“Alright, today we’re going to look for missions. You two should come with us. Doing missions should have cultivation diagrams and such as a reward. Even if it’s you guys who are reaping without sowing, you’ll also die miserably.”
The cat and dog obediently finished eating and followed their two bosses out.
When Ren Zhu and Yi Xiao arrived at the mission plaza for the ability team, there were already a dozen or so people waiting. They saw Old Huo and Xiao Xue, as well as Fatty Jin, Liu Ming Qing and Zhou Yun.
“I was just thinking whether I would see you guys here. Sure enough, our fate is still connected, hahaha!” Fatty Jin stood there laughing like a buddha while Jin Yu stood beside him. At this moment, this child was looking at his uncle with disdain. There expressions really were very different.
“En, it looks like we’re still fated to meet.” Ren Zhu smiled: “Xiao Yu, you also came? Isn’t it a little early for you to be here?”
Jin Yu raised an eyebrow and patted the small backpack he was carrying: “Teacher, you can’t look down on me just because of my age. I am already 13 years old, that’s 14 according to the traditional system. In ancient times, I can already support a family, get married and have a child at this age. So, I can do anything an adult can do.”
When the surrounding people heard him say this, they couldn’t help but smile. Fatty Jin swatted the back of his nephew’s head in exasperation: “You brat. First grow as tall and strong as me and then talk!”
Jin Yu directly refused: “No, that’s too fat. If I don’t have a speed ability, I will die very fast.”
Fatty Jin: “……” Every time he was with his nephew, he couldn’t pleasantly chat with him. This made him think of his long dead older brother. His older brother would always talk like this.
“Ahem, okay, it seems that many of you know each other, so we should have better coordination for this mission.” The ability team captain Lei Long appeared with a smile. Buzz Cut was also standing beside him and staring intensely at Yi Xiao. He had previously wanted to used his power ability to provoke Zombie King Yi, but as a result, he was blasted flying with one punch. He had to rest for an entire day before he recovered somewhat. Just as he was gnashing his teeth in anger and wanted to take revenge, he heard something that was like a bolt of lightning — the guy who was dressed all in black and didn’t look human actually destroyed the ability testing machine!!
He completely couldn’t imagine the terrifying power of someone whose strength value was five question marks. Hence, even if he still hadn’t fully recovered, Buzz Cut still clamoured to express that he wanted to participate in this mission.
“I am Lei Long, the captain of the ability team. As for my ability, it is lightning. The energy within my body is roughly that of a third level ability user. I will be leading everyone this time. Later on on the road, you can all introduce yourselves to each other, but for now, I need to count the people participating in this mission and then distribute the equipment.”
“The mission this time is to go to our southwest and northwest to rescue two small bases that were destroyed by zombies. The circumstances in which these bases were destroyed are very strange, so we need to carefully investigate when we get there. It’s best if we can find the reason why the bases were breached. Then, we will work hard to rescue the survivors. This mission needs to be done as soon as possible, so we don’t need too many people. All the people present are those who were invited with the qualifications to participate. If anyone is willing to participate in this mission, please stand behind me.”
After Lei Long said this, he calmly looked at the people in front of him. Opposite him, that is, the people on Ren Zhu’s side, there were approximately 50 people, among which 30 or so were ability users. The remaining people were either family members or friends.
“That, Team Leader Lei, can ordinary people participate? Do you have to be an ability user?”
Lei Long paused for a moment: “That isn’t necessary, but an ordinary person cannot participate by themself. They must have an ability user leading them. After all, this is a rescue mission, not a novice mission.”
Everyone smiled. Then, someone asked another question that everyone was concerned about: “Team Leader Lei, what is the reward for this mission?”
This time, Lei Long answered without hesitation: “After you succeed and return, you can eat for free at the public dining hall for a month, or receive 100 kg of rice, 100 kg of flour and 5 kg of meat.”
This mission reward was certainly a lot compared to that of other missions, so after saying the rewards, many people showed interest. However, there were still some who felt apprehensive: “Team Leader Lei, I have one last question. The reward for this mission is very generous. Is the mission extremely dangerous?”
Hearing this, Lei Long raised an eyebrow: “All mission are dangerous. As for whether there’s great danger, I do not know. But with my responsibility for your lives, I can tell you that we suspect the destruction of these two bases to be quite strange. There may be some unknown and unexpected situations that will appear, so you guys can carefully consider it.”
As soon as he said this, the many people who were originally interested pursed their lips. To the side, Ren Zhu looked at their expressions with interest, but Yi Xiao was too lazy to remain in this deadlock and directly pulled Ren Zhu to stand behind Lei Long. Seeing this, Mao Gan Cao and Gou Jian Fei immediately followed them. As soon as they moved, Liu Ming Qing and Zhou Yun also smiled as they walked over, with the tall and burly Song Qiang following behind them. Seeing all his acquaintances walk over, Fatty Jin also wanted to quickly go over, but before he could walk over himself, he was dragged over by Jin Yu. He was extremely angry that his nephew always liked to seek death.
When Lei Long saw Yi Xiao and Ren Zhu move, he was pleasantly surprised. The only reason he had appeared here was because of these two people. However, seeing that these two had also brought along many ability users and ordinary people with good physiques, the smile in Lei Long’s eyes spread to his entire face.
Afterwards, two women and a man also came over. Lei Long then directly said: “Alright, we have enough people. Everyone else can go to the mission hall to find other missions.”
Hearing this, those who had hesitated immediately revealed a displeased expression: “How come there’s so few people? We were also planning to go over ah! It’s just that we were a little slow!”
Lei Long didn’t say anything. Beside him, Buzz Cut chuckled: “Our team only needs 20 people. Do you have a complaint? Go find the leader!”
These words choked the other person so much that he directly rolled his eyes. After the rest of them left, Lei Long said to Ren Zhu and the others: “I welcome the 13 of you to joining our ability team temporarily. This time, our ability team has assign 7 people to work together with you guys. Among them, this Old Ding has a healing ability. Don’t mind his big size, he’s a medical elite. So if there aren’t any particularly bad incidents in this mission, your safety is guaranteed.”
Everyone’s gaze gathered on Old Ding’s body. This guy was tall and burly, with a fierce looking face. He didn’t look like a medical elite at all. Instead, if one were to say that he was a criminal world elite, many people would believe it.
Old Ding smiled: “Haha, come to me if you get injured. I guarantee that within half an hour, you’ll be healthy and kicking with life.”
Gou Jian Fei’s mouth twitched as he poked Mao Gan Cao: “Hurry up and awaken a healing ability. I feel like if I hand my life over to him, it won’t be very safe.”
Mao Gan Cao: “…… I’ll try my best.”
“Alright, that’s enough talking. Here are 13 rocket packs. They’re all designed by Doctor Da Huang. They can be charged with solar power and at critical moments, they can also be activated with your abilities. It is an essential high tech product for travelling. You can used the rocket packs when you head over and directly use the empty road, but on the way back, you have to drive. A friendly reminder, these things are expensive. Everyone must look after them. If they get damaged, you will need to work and do research for Doctor Da Huang.”
Originally still very happy, Gou Jian Fei and Song Qiang instantly pursed their lips when they heard this, while Jin Yu nodded: “This is very reasonable.”
Fatty Jin: “……” My nephew isn’t cute at all!
“Then everyone can try them out and see how to use them. Afterwards, we’ll set out!”
After haphazardly flying about and almost crashing a dozen times, the ability team’s 13 temporary members finally learnt how to use the rocket packs. They then wore the packs and flashily left Yuan City base, feeling like they were Iron Man.
However, after flying for an hour, this group of Iron Men no longer had the happiness they initially had. Zhou Yun felt like a golden lion king with her hair continuously blown into a mess. Fatty Jin felt like his whole body had already received a wind massage. On the journey to rescue people this time, he might even lose 3 or 4 kilos. Mao Gan Cao and Jin Yu were unwilling to say a single word the entire time, while Gou Jian Fei’s initial excitement and enthusiasm became dispirited: “How long do we still have until we can rest? I want to go down and make a helmet! I feel like I’ll be blown stupid by the wind! With this terrifying experience of being blasted all over by the wind, on the way back, I will definitely be driving!!”
The others wholeheartedly agreed.
However, Teacher Ren felt that this actually wasn’t that big of a deal, just that his posture was a little effeminate.
“Dage! Can you not fly next to us and force us to eat dog food?! The wind ability is too strong!!!” Mao Gan Cao couldn’t bear it anymore and roared at Ren Zhu who was held by Yi Xiao.
Ren Zhu sighed: “I am also very helpless ah.” God knew how big of a price he paid, okay.
Great King Yi: I will sleep in bed every day from now on!
Hahaha Yi is so cute😂 thanks for the update🥺
I really hope a translator will be found for this novel, I love it so much🥺❤️
Thank you for the update!
Teacher Ren’s character is so weird in this arc. I don’t understand why he’s so callous towards the ML when the couple has always been very loving and supportive of each other.
Maybe because ML’s a zombie? Though I think Ren would be fine with it. Maybe because of ML’s… problem down there? Which also includes no kissing. That might be it.
yeah but they’ve been through too many worlds for such a small thing. They love each other so I don’t get why Ren is being so… dismissive? dunno I’m just hoping they make up soon.
💀 No matter how many lifetimes or how much love, it must be pretty hard to wanna be near a corpse. I feel like the fact that’s he’s literally dead isn’t a small issue at all
Is there a reason this was dropped its soooooooo good.
It’s more like Ren Zhu is exasperated by Yi Xiao in an endearing way, like ‘I still love you but omg why are you a zombie’
lol okay. this is better.
So cute
Thank you for the update

Hello, I know this translation is a year old and that translators work very hard to give us quality work for free, but is it possible to go back and replace or censor all of the uses of the r-slur/r*tard?
