The pair of figures were very familiar to Wei Xuan, as he often saw them in the neighboring building. There was a rope tied around their waists, which also looked familiar, it was the pair of male zombies that he brought back, the zombie couple!
Outside the wall, there was a massive figure towering over the wall. It had dark brown fur, resembling upright steel needles, with a sharp and terrifying shine. Wei Xuan couldn’t see its full appearance yet, but he could clearly hear its roaring, a beast-like roar.
“What is that?!”
Wei Xuan’s pupils contracted, and his body stiffened as he was being carried.
Normally, if it were any other situation, he would freeze in place when his body stiffened. However, he was currently being carried on someone’s shoulder, and that someone was someone who was enthusiastic about fighting mutated creatures.
As a result, when Wei Xuan’s body trembled and he prepared to enter a state of stiffness, his body was uncontrollably carried toward the direction of the wall. With a few leaps, they reached the top of the wall, standing side by side with the zombie couple.
The two zombies were aware that Du Hang had brought Wei Xuan over, but they didn’t turn around to look at them. Instead, they continued to stare straight ahead at the enormous creature not far away.
Wei Xuan struggled to twist his body, looking at the monster across from him with a terrified gaze. Yes, it was undoubtedly a monster!
It had a colossal body that was about three to four meters tall when it was crouching, and that was just its height from the ground, not its full length.
From its appearance, it bore some resemblance to the rats from before the apocalypse, but Wei Xuan couldn’t determine exactly which kind of rat it resembled. In the old houses in the city, you could often find rats with gray fur, slender bodies, and a much fiercer appearance than the pet rats that came later.
The creature outside Wei Xuan’s residential area shared about five or six similarities with those creatures, especially its bared teeth, which looked ferocious and terrifying.
However, its fur was not gray; instead, it was brownish-black, even more repulsive than Wei Xuan’s impression of large rats, and it was incredibly unsettling.

On the contrary, the roaring and growling of the zombies within the residential area, along with their fierce and hostile expressions… it was as if they had encountered an archenemy.
Were the zombie bodyguards in his residential area acting strange? Or were the zombies on the streets acting unusual?
Wait a minute, Wei Xuan suddenly remembered that when he encountered Cheng Ma and Bai Guangnan, they mentioned seeing a group of zombies and mutated creatures fighting on the outskirts of the city led by a young zombie girl… So, what exactly was going on?
Before Wei Xuan could figure out the situation, suddenly, the enormous mutated rat outside the wall roared toward the direction of the zombies. It opened its mouth full of sharp fangs and drooled disgustingly. The roar was so loud that it almost felt like a gust of wind blowing toward Wei Xuan.
The tremendous sound caused Wei Xuan’s body to shudder involuntarily, and his heart pounded as if it was about to jump out of his throat.
Du Hang had fought against the mutated birds before, and although he felt a sensation of almost flying when leaping up and down, he never felt that they were as ferocious and terrifying as this.
However, facing this mutated rat… Wei Xuan didn’t dare to let Du Hang fight it alone, such a massive creature might even be able to flatten a person by just sitting on them!
As Wei Xuan’s mind wandered due to the appearance of the rat, the three zombies standing on the wall, across the road from the enemy, suddenly turned their heads and looked at each other.
The zombie couple looked in Du Hang’s direction and naturally noticed Wei Xuan being carried on his shoulder. However, Du Hang didn’t rush out as usual when facing mutated creatures. He still had Wei Xuan with him, and Wei Xuan… was different from them.
Although Du Hang didn’t know how he knew or where these thoughts came from, he understood that while he could quickly recover from injuries, even if he lost some body parts during battle, he could regenerate them afterward, even though sometimes the regeneration was extremely slow.
However, he also knew that the same situation wouldn’t apply to Wei Xuan. Smaller wounds, such as the bite marks on Wei Xuan’s body could also heal at a speed surpassing that of humans, but it was much slower compared to zombies. Not to mention, if it was a more severe injury like losing an arm or a leg, Wei Xuan wouldn’t be able to recover it in his lifetime.
Now, facing such an opponent, even Du Hang couldn’t guarantee that he could protect Wei Xuan from getting hurt. That’s why he had remained silent when he noticed the rat’s movements nearby.
He and Wei Xuan were currently connected and couldn’t break the rope or leave him alone at home, so he preferred not to pay attention to the creature until it came to provoke them. However, it unexpectedly ran over here, to a point where they couldn’t tolerate its advance.
“Roar!” The tall male zombie not far away suddenly let out a roar. He didn’t look in Du Hang’s direction but turned his head to glare at the gigantic rat. The short zombie beside him also looked in the direction of the rat and let out a roar together with the tall one.
The mutated rat had originally been ready to charge over and trample these insignificant creatures, but it didn’t expect that they would attack it first?
Just as Wei Xuan was drawn to their voices and looked at the two of them, he was stunned to find that they had rushed out fiercely!
The security zombies in the residential area were still trapped inside the wall. However, almost all of them had gathered near the edge of the wall, some even being stepped on like stairs. Other zombies seemed to want to climb over their fellow zombies and join the fight against the mutated rat.
Du Hang remained in place, still holding Wei Xuan on his shoulder as he kept an eye on the situation.
Wei Xuan watched as the two zombies leaped toward the mutated rat with a speed that rivaled Du Hang’s. Their nails grew longer, revealing ferocious teeth as they roared and engaged in a fierce battle with the gigantic rat.
Around them, the sound of “thud, thud” came as the zombies in the residential area climbed over the wall and fell down. Then, disregarding their injuries, even if some of their limbs were broken, they still charged toward the mutated rat and the two zombies fighting it!
Although the rat’s size was enormous, its movements were extremely agile, and each leap it made was astonishingly high. When Wei Xuan looked back at the ongoing battle, he keenly noticed a large wound on the tall zombie’s arm that hadn’t been there earlier.
Thick, blackish-red blood slowly flowed from the tall zombie’s injured arm. Several faster zombies had already rushed into the fray, relentlessly tearing and biting, scratching and pulling at the mutated rat. But the rat kicked them down with each leap, almost crushing them to pieces.
Beside Wei Xuan, Du Hang, though still standing on the wall, couldn’t help but let out a low growl. A desire for battle and an indescribable anger flashed in his eyes.
Wei Xuan struggled to twist his body and suddenly saw a middle-aged zombie, who usually liked to stroll along the wall, being stepped on by the rat. Its body was almost crushed, but with its one remaining arm and sharp teeth, it desperately bit and tore at the rat’s foot, unable to inflict much damage.
Next to the rat, a female zombie wearing a faded pink nightgown pounced on it but was swiftly thrown off by the rat’s sudden twist, flung away by its tail…
These were familiar faces that Wei Xuan saw every day as he wandered around the residential area. But now…
Du Hang was tapped on the shoulder twice, and with his recovering yet blank eyes, he looked at Wei Xuan, who struggled to get down.
Slowly, Du Hang placed Wei Xuan on the wall beside him, opening his arms to prevent him from falling on this narrow ledge. He felt Wei Xuan’s hands wrap around his waist…
Lowering his head, the rope tied around his waist was untied.
Wei Xuan looked up at Du Hang, his expression filled with solemnity. “Be careful, try not to get hurt,” he said, and then lightly kissed Du Hang’s lips.
Usually, whenever they faced each other, Du Hang would take the initiative to seek a kiss. But it seemed that this was the first time recently that they had looked into each other’s eyes for a while before Wei Xuan initiated the kiss.
Although he still didn’t quite understand what Wei Xuan was saying or his usual actions, when Du Hang turned his head, looking at the increasingly brutal battle and then at Wei Xuan beside him, he lowered his head again and kissed Wei Xuan’s lips once more.
He still didn’t understand what Wei Xuan was saying, nor did he comprehend some of Wei Xuan’s usual behaviors. But at this moment, he could feel his thoughts, just as he could sense something deep within his own heart that still remained.
A figure suddenly leaped and charged toward the gigantic rat that had already rolled to the ground, attempting to crush those never-ending swarms of small creatures!
Oooohh ohhh!! Wei Xuan you must trust your boyfriend!!
Yes, please kill the rat!!! 🤢 I can handle snakes, spiders, scorpions, bugs….. just not rats. Giant one…. I’m out.
I was thinking it was a boar at the beginning, a rat is worse!
Wei Xuan: Go protect the security zombies A’Huan!!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BEING AWESOME!!!
Rat…. It’s my personality, but I personally prefer pet-rat
Thank you for your translation 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
Thank you for the chapter! 💚🤍💚🤍💚🤍💚🤍💚🤍
Whoa, poor zombie gurads. The 🐀 must die. LOL, hoping father-in-law won’t enter the fray. So those zombies around his neighborhood are trying to protect their territory against this mutated rat monster.
Looks like we can now refer to Du Hang as “the General.” Little girl zombie princess may have some competition?
Thanks for the chapter! The little zombie neighbors were hurt! Bad rat!
Giant rat rolls over some of the zombie neighbors… Bye bye giant rat, my boyfriend’s a zombie and he has sharp plant tools! Thanks for the update 🤣🤣❤️🤣🤣
Thank you for translating! 😀
if the zombies in the community attack threats, but the zombies on the outside don’t, doesn’t that mean either Du Hang or Wei Xuan have influenced them? From Du Hang’s thoughts, Wei Xuan’s aura calms him. So, it may not be that Wei Xuan isn’t sensed by zombies, but that zombies feel peaceful in his presence!
With this, and the possibility that Du Hang can communicate with zombies, they could have a whole army, that, unlike the zombie girl’s, follow them out of their own volition, not mind control! An army of loyal people are far more vicious than an army of forced people!
This novel is one of rare one that made me cheering up for zombie lol.
