Bai Guangnan treated his bloody face, and soon a white light appeared, healing the wound completely without any scars.
Wei Xuan looked at the other person wiping away the blood, revealing his fair skin. The newly grown skin was as smooth and tender as a baby’s, surpassing the effects of the best skincare products from before the apocalypse. The only issue was that the texture of Bai Guangnan’s skin was slightly different all over his face and body.
In simple terms, some areas had just healed, so the skin was smoother, while others had healed half a month ago and were more supple, and some had healed one or two months ago with a thicker layer of dead skin cells. At a glance, it wasn’t noticeable, but upon closer observation, it seemed as if the skin on the person’s body was pieced together like a puzzle.
Facing the expectant and dissatisfied gaze of the two individuals, Wei Xuan helplessly shrugged and said, “Maybe if your zombies eat more snowflakes, they might improve. My zombie didn’t behave like this before, really.”
Although Wei Xuan was lying, he knew that if anyone else spent time with Du Hang, they wouldn’t react the way he did, let alone just kissing instead of biting.
But he wasn’t entirely wrong. Their current way of interacting was gradually developed over a long period of time. Perhaps the zombies in their household would also improve with time. At least for now, although they still had aggression, Wei Xuan could tell that the ropes tying the zombies didn’t actually restrain them completely. With enough struggling and force, they could easily break free and attack those around them.
Presumably, these two individuals were aware of this fact. Although they were envious of Du Hang’s kissing skills, they didn’t think that Wei Xuan was lying about the zombies eating snowflakes.
After giving an explanation to the two lunatics, they stopped fixating on the interaction between Wei Xuan and Du Hang. After a short rest, Wei Xuan decided to continue climbing the stairs with Du Hang and reached the roof of the sixty-sixth floor.
The chilling wind on the rooftop made Wei Xuan shiver, even though he was wearing thick clothing. It was indeed colder up there compared to the lower floors.
After observing the darkening sky, Wei Xuan took out his binoculars and carefully examined the two locations that needed attention. One was the area where Bai Guangnan had pointed out, suspected to have been the site of a battle. The other was the direction where thick smoke had once emerged, which had piqued Wei Xuan’s curiosity.
To his disappointment, the location where the fire had occurred seemed to be quite far from the city, and even from the highest building in the city, he couldn’t see the exact site. The view consisted of vast white snow and various buildings of different heights and shapes.
However, the area where the battle had taken place on the outer ring of the city showed clearer signs. The ground there was covered in black mud, and remnants of what appeared to be non-standard vehicles could be vaguely seen. On a section of the road leading south, tracks left by heavy vehicles on the snow were clearly visible.

Such incidents were not uncommon in the post-apocalyptic world. Although Wei Xuan couldn’t determine the specific purpose of the team’s journey, the details of the encounter with zombies and the intensity of the battle could be inferred.
After a brief observation, Wei Xuan assumed that the group might have been preparing to retrieve important supplies from a certain location. He carefully examined the surrounding distribution of zombies that could be seen from the rooftop and then focused on the streets visible from this position. Finally, he and Du Hang returned to the fifty-fifth floor.
Sitting back on the sofa facing the two individuals, Wei Xuan said, “We’ll be heading back soon. By the way, in a couple of days, I might go to the warehouse district to get some canned pickles and spicy sauce…”
Before he could finish his sentence, he received an indifferent response from the two individuals, “Go ahead, take them.”
“But don’t just eat pickles and spicy sauce. It’s not good for your health.”
“Yeah, yeah! How did the seeds I gave you last time turn out? Did anything grow besides potatoes and carrots?”
“Oh, if something else grows near our area, apart from potatoes and carrots, let us know the location.”
The two individuals exchanged words, and Wei Xuan couldn’t help but roll his eyes. It seemed that they regarded him as a professional farmer!
“Now it’s too cold, and I haven’t grown those things yet. I have to wait until spring to experiment and calculate the specific harvesting time,” Wei Xuan had to explain carefully to the two individuals.
But seeing that they seemed completely uninterested in plant cultivation, he had to elaborate further, “I tried growing leafy plants before, but they turned out to be inedible. Once they fully matured and withered, they turned into these things.” Saying that, he casually took out a golden, serrated leaf from his pocket.
This caught the interest of the two lunatics, who took the leaf and studied it for a while.
“This thing is sharp, be careful not to cut yourself!” Wei Xuan warned as he saw Bai Guangnan using his fingertip to touch the edge of the leaf. But with a swift motion, Bai Guangnan ended up with a hand covered in blood.
However, instead of feeling pain or discarding the leaf after getting injured, Bai Guangnan exclaimed excitedly to Cheng Ma, “It’s even better than a small knife!”
Then, a white healing light emanated from his hand, and his bright eyes focused on Wei Xuan. “You should grow more of these! Plant them all over the streets. When I encounter a large group of zombies and need a weapon, I can just grab one from the corner of a wall!”
By planting these plants in various corners, they would have easily accessible weapons whenever needed?
Wei Xuan pondered for a moment and thought it wasn’t a bad idea. He nodded and promised, “I can try, but for now, I can only grow them hydroponically. I’ll try planting them in the soil when spring comes. If they grow successfully, I’ll cultivate more of them. If I need to plant them everywhere, I’ll leave a message in that room to notify you. So, be careful not to accidentally get cut by them when you go out.”
The two individuals nodded eagerly, “Sure, sure.”
“If you’re planting them, I’ll inform the others to be careful when they go out.”
Just as Cheng Ma finished speaking, Bai Guangnan asked her in confusion, “Those people never leave their homes. Do we need to inform them?”
“They might have to come out once they burn all their furniture,” Cheng Ma replied. Although her mind was not quite normal, she surprisingly had a kind heart. Even in this situation, she still cared about notifying others and being cautious about getting cut by the plants. Just like how she was concerned about Wei Xuan’s malnutrition issue before, she encouraged him to eat foods other than potatoes.
Wei Xuan couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his mouth. “You can do as you please, but absolutely do not tell anyone that I planted these!” He didn’t want to become famous again, really! Having the nickname of “Potato Planter” all over the city was already frustrating enough. If people found out he was planting these dangerous plants all over the city…
“Tell others when I plant them, so they can be careful when they go out.”
Cheng Ma rolled her eyes at him. “I know, I know. You love planting potatoes but don’t love planting weapons.”
When Wei Xuan left the tall technology building, he felt a stomach full of internal injuries.
It was already dark outside when he left, and Du Hang carrying him and leaping out of the hole on the third floor didn’t even evoke any ripples in his heart.
He had always known that those two were unreliable, but he didn’t expect them to be so unreliable that he would end up with internal injuries. Whether it was Bai Guangnan constantly covered in blood or Cheng Ma’s ability to choke him every time she spoke, or the way those two interacted with their own zombies…
“…They never asked about our relationship from beginning to end,” Wei Xuan turned his head to look at Du Hang, who was carrying him and rushing along, in the dark night. He found it somewhat unbelievable.
No matter what, he and Du Hang were both males. Seeing two males openly showing affection and kissing in front of them… even a person with mental issues should notice and suspect that they were homosexual, right? Who would cultivate and let their own zombies kiss them for no reason? But those two lunatics completely ignored it! They even scorned him and Du Hang for showing affection!
Well, who made them lunatics? And he hadn’t actively mentioned his relationship with Du Hang either.
Helplessly, he looked down again, observing the snow-covered ground, rooftops, car roofs, buildings, and even the receding backs of the zombies in the distance. Feeling the chilly wind blowing on his neck, he suddenly snapped out of his thoughts, “Wait! Where are we going now?!”
He had just jumped down because he couldn’t descend the building and didn’t want to crawl through the zombie crowd by rope. But… they should have already jumped down, right? Where was Du Hang taking him now?!
Surprised, he lifted his head again and saw Du Hang carrying him, leaping from one building roof to another in the pitch-black night, moving straight ahead.
When he saw them crossing a relatively narrow, ice-covered small river, Wei Xuan couldn’t help but exclaim, “Are we… almost home?!!”
