After the end of the world, Wei Xuan had encountered countless zombies on the streets. They would either pass by, walk side by side, or occasionally meet. But never before had he experienced something like this, walking in front while being followed by a long string of minions.
Honestly, it was quite exhausting. What tired him the most was that the followers behind him didn’t always listen to his instructions or follow the path he took. After all, there were twelve of them following him, and if they formed a single line, how long would the queue be? If any living person spotted them, they would be visible from a distance.
Especially the duo of minions right behind Wei Xuan. They were the ones who had accompanied him the most on outings. And now, they were getting so clingy that they almost wanted to merge into one person whenever they went out. They insisted on walking side by side or holding hands, refusing to go in a single file. It was like they were going on a strike against Wei Xuan.
So, Wei Xuan decided to let the zombies behind him walk in pairs, which would shorten the length of the queue. However, when they needed to turn or avoid obstacles, the large group behind him might accidentally get entangled in the obstacles with the rope connecting them.
At such times, Wei Xuan had to quickly step back a few paces to untangle them and get them back in line. Alternatively, he temporarily loosened the rope, maneuvered them around the obstacles, and then connected them again.
Honestly, their efficiency in searching for supplies was probably not as good as if Wei Xuan had only taken Du Hang with him and let him “fly back” and forth when they found something.
But since he was planning to “cooperate” with these guys, he would need to take them out occasionally to let them become familiar with the outside world while he familiarized himself with their behavior patterns. It was also an opportunity for Wei Xuan to develop his abilities during these outings.
With the duo of male zombies as an example in front, Wei Xuan believed he could help the others develop as well. This way, his group of zombie minions wouldn’t look like those aimlessly wandering individuals on the streets, even though they had organization and a home.
Going out at night was quieter for Wei Xuan compared to during the day. During the day, he could clearly “hear” the wild zombies constantly emitting the message of “hungry” if there were any nearby. It was manageable when there were only a few, even a few hundred in his residential area. But if the streets were filled with zombies, and he could hear that sound wherever he went, it was quite horrifying.
However, after it got dark, most of these zombies, even if they were hungry during the day, would lose their brainwaves once they found a place to “sleep.” It was as if they no longer had subjective consciousness, just like when humans sleep.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Of course, there were some zombies that were different. After lying down to sleep, they would still emit brainwaves, but instead of the message of “hunger,” it was the repetitive sound of “sleep.” It kept looping endlessly, giving Wei Xuan the feeling of counting sheep when he couldn’t fall asleep before the apocalypse.

Fortunately, Wei Xuan didn’t plan to go too far this time. Firstly, there were still patches of snow in the city that hadn’t completely melted, and secondly, he had too many minions with him, making long-distance travel impractical.
His destination was a relatively bustling street not far from his residential area. There were several scattered shops, including a specialty store for a certain sportswear brand, as well as a few women’s clothing and shoe stores. His main goal was to find some convenient clothes to bring back for his hundreds of zombie minions in the residential area.
Of course, if he thoroughly searched the empty houses in the area, he would probably find a large number of clothes. However, since the distance wasn’t far, and he wanted to explore the area while getting his minions accustomed to going out, why not give it a try?
After a long journey, they finally arrived at their destination late at night. Wei Xuan led them straight into a sports brand store and finally breathed a sigh of relief, ready to find a place to rest.
Even though the street was only about ten blocks away from his home, it took them a good part of the night to get here. It was a testament to how astonishing the experience of those zombie minions was.
Fortunately, after all the busyness, they had reached their destination. Now it was time to take a rest and start gathering supplies when it was daylight.
Du Hang, as usual, quickly sat by the wall and assumed a waiting posture for Wei Xuan. When Wei Xuan suddenly received the message of “want a hug” emanating from him, it still made him feel slightly uncomfortable. After all, this time he was followed by a group of unfamiliar zombies after going out.
Turning his head to the entrance, the group of zombies that followed in were all standing blankly in place, with the last two still outside the gate.
Perhaps they realized that the force leading them had disappeared. After a moment of confusion, they all slowly bent over – not sitting, but lying down on the ground!
The zombies that had just lay down began to emit messages of “want to sleep, want to sleep,” and then… there was no more. After dark, these guys would enter a state resembling “sleep,” and unless Wei Xuan actively pulled them up or sensed the presence of living people, they wouldn’t pay any attention to anyone, even if someone stepped on their chests!
Of course, if someone accidentally stepped on their faces, they might instinctively bite.
Wei Xuan’s mouth twitched twice, and just as he was about to shift his gaze, he noticed that the two guys next to him had gathered together again. This time, one of them leaned against the wall, while the other one directly sat in the arms of the tall one! They emitted an “together” aura, and their faces were even facing each other, their lips pressed together!
They were actually showing affection like this!
No, no, no, they had always been showing affection! Wei Xuan had seen them hugging each other many times before, but where did they learn to kiss?!!
Wei Xuan looked at the two figures in the darkness, which were not very clear, with shock on his face. He had the impulse to take out a flashlight and carefully observe their specific actions.
Du Hang, who had been waiting impatiently by his side, suddenly raised his hand and directly embraced Wei Xuan’s shoulder, using tremendous strength to lift Wei Xuan directly into his arms! The posture and movement were exactly the same as the nearby pair, except for the kiss!
Just as this thought crossed his mind, Du Hang, who had just hugged Wei Xuan, hadn’t switched from “want a hug” yet and directly covered Wei Xuan’s mouth with his own.
Well, now it was completely the same… Wait a minute, he remembered that the last time they went out, those two guys seemed to have seen Du Hang kiss him. Could it be… they were actually imitating the two of them?!
With tears silently flowing in his heart, Wei Xuan decided to give up on himself and silently hoped that these weird imitations of him and Du Hang would be enough. The zombies in their own residential area shouldn’t learn from them anymore! Otherwise, he would have to watch the security zombies show affection to each other and kiss each other every day… Wei Xuan felt that he would definitely go crazy.
When Du Hang finally satisfied his desire, Wei Xuan began to silently prepare his “lunch” while thinking about how to make Du Hang refrain from kissing him in the presence of others. However, this would require him to be able to send his brainwaves to Du Hang’s head and be understood by him, or to make Du Hang understand his words.
Unfortunately, it seemed that Du Hang could only understand the command-like content he said to him now, sometimes supplemented with physical gestures. It seemed that there was still a long way to go.
“Have you also encountered ambushing zombies?” A group of people gathered in the open space near the main entrance of the base, their expressions showing a mix of gossip, excitement, and surprise as they asked several ragged individuals.
One of them nodded, and it was obvious from his torn clothes that he had been fiercely scratched by something, revealing half of his arm.
“We didn’t expect it at all. Our vehicle broke down halfway, and we thought there were no zombies nearby, so we decided to go out and see the situation. But as soon as we got out of the car! A group of zombies rushed out from the roadside pits, ruins, and nearby shops! Each one of them looked like mutated zombies! Their movements were fast and agile!”
“Wu wu wu…” a person next to him burst into tears. As the crying sound emerged, people nearby noticed – she seemed to be a woman?
This woman had a somewhat burly appearance and short hair. Her facial features were also rather ordinary, and she was dressed in men’s clothing. If it wasn’t for her bursting into tears, no one would have noticed that she was a woman.
However, if it weren’t for her strong and powerful physique, it was unlikely that an ordinary team would have taken her out for an adventure.
Heehee it would be something else for outsiders to walk up on a community of zombies, kissing and showing affection especially if it included some of the fully regrown heads who didn’t get their clothes yet.
Shopping trip with your boo has zombie copycat couple and a “line of duckling” zombies to spoil the mood. Thanks for the update 🤣❤️🤣❤️👔👚👕👖🩳🥾👟
I keep thinking about it and it really seems like the POVs are from different genres. XD XD XD
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BEING AWESOME!!!
I mean one is a zombie raising romcom the rest is a post apocalyptic survival.
Like Wei Xuan and the lovey-dovey couple are in the movie Warm Bodies.
The rich people and the military bases have a vibe of Resident Evil and World War Z.
The high-rise base is like The Zombie Survival Guide and the relatively sane parts of The Walking Dead.
The healer/fireball duo are clearly in Zombieland and Shaun of the dead with a side of Fido.
The tiny queen zombie with assistant and the cannibal base round it off being in the crazy parts of The Walking Dead and Resident Evil.
💯
Oh, why are you crying?
Thank you for your translation 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍❄️🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
Oh Wei Xuan, I don’t think the continuing PDA is because Du Hang doesn’t understand you don’t want to. He knows that. He just also knows that you won’t stop him.
Thanks for the chapter!
