Wei Xuan was lying in the darkness of the night, with a slight chill in the early spring air. The cool breeze sent shivers down his spine.
Why was he “lying” in the darkness of the night? That was because he was still being held by Du Hang. And why was his heart pounding? It was because of that dark mass in the distance.
The night was too dark, and even though the moonlight was bright, Wei Xuan couldn’t make out the exact shape of the thing. He could only vaguely see what seemed like a furry lump, possibly some kind of animal.
But this creature wasn’t moving at all, as if it was quietly lurking there, waiting for an opportunity to attack.
Wei Xuan felt a sense of dread, remembering how just a mutated rat caused so much damage to the zombies in their residential complex last time. And now, this creature appeared to be even bigger than the previous one. This could spell trouble!
Wait a minute, zombies, mutated animals…
Wei Xuan suddenly turned his head and quickly scanned the road in the residential complex. He couldn’t spot a single zombie. Could it be that they…?
Just as he was entertaining this ominous thought, he faintly saw what appeared to be a sleeping zombie not far away… Oh, he had forgotten that the zombies liked to sleep at night.
But wait, were they really sleeping, or had they been killed?
The night was too dark, and he couldn’t tell at a glance if their residential complex and the nearby buildings had been damaged. He couldn’t see the current state of the huge creature, nor could he assess the condition of the scattered zombies in their residential complex.
Who knew if the zombies were really sleeping or if they had all been defeated by that creature?
Why did the zombies have no brain activity when they slept? Why were they so quiet when they slept in their residential complex?
Wei Xuan gestured to the surroundings, indicating to Du Hang that they should go and carefully observe the zombies. Although he couldn’t sense their brainwaves at the moment, he could still assess their physical condition to determine if they were sleeping normally.

With a worried gaze towards Du Hang, who was still holding him obediently, Wei Xuan noticed that this time, Du Hang didn’t show any reaction. He didn’t display the relentless attitude he had shown when they encountered mutated animals before.
Wei Xuan deduced two possibilities for his behavior. One was that perhaps Du Hang didn’t sense any threat from that huge creature. The other was that… maybe that thing was already dead…
Although the latter possibility was low, Wei Xuan knew very well the formidable fighting power of the mutated rat from before, he couldn’t believe that this creature had been placed here without causing significant damage to their group of zombies. But it was impossible for him to individually check every single zombie in their residential complex.
Regardless, Wei Xuan would have to wait until morning to find out the truth. Perhaps that creature would wake up at dawn and engage in another battle with the zombies, or maybe it would leave on its own.
Although Wei Xuan felt that the area had become potentially unsafe, he couldn’t just abandon the zombies in their residential complex and find another place to rest. So he could only inwardly sigh, gesturing towards the building they lived in and letting Du Hang carry him swiftly back home.
With a heavy heart, Wei Xuan had initially planned to stay by the window where he could see the “little hill” and observe until dawn. But when he arrived home, changed his clothes, and was put down by Du Hang, he was surprised when Du Hang once again bent down to pick him up. He placed Wei Xuan on the bed, joined him, and held him in his arms just like when they usually slept together…
Wei Xuan twisted his expression and looked at him. Once again, Du Hang switched to the “sleepy” brainwave mode, leaned in to kiss his lips, and evidently had no intention of leaving immediately, just like when they shared long kisses before going to sleep each night.
Well, perhaps this guy had considered resting after returning from outside as a regular thing. That’s why he completely ignored the situation outside and continued with their usual bedtime routine. Wei Xuan could only resign himself to the situation, whether he stood by the window or slept in bed, it shouldn’t make much difference if that thing really started acting up.
With Du Hang, his zombie boyfriend who reacted swiftly in times of crisis, by his side, Wei Xuan had no choice but to trust him. So he leaned against Du Hang’s chest and… fell asleep.
The morning sunlight fell on his face, awakening him from his deep slumber.
Wei Xuan opened his eyes and took about five seconds to fully wake up. Then he suddenly realized that he had actually fallen asleep while snuggled up in Du Hang’s embrace.
As he reflected on this, he couldn’t help but feel a strange sense of comfort being held by Du Hang like this. He knew he had a weakness for it, and it explained why he slept so comfortably in his arms every night. However, he didn’t have time to dwell on this now; he had more pressing matters to attend to, like the creature outside.
With a quick roll, he got out of bed, and as he did, he sensed a subtle feeling of loss deep within Du Hang’s confused heart. Nevertheless, Du Hang followed suit and joined him by the window, standing by Wei Xuan’s side.
Wei Xuan had a serious expression on his face as he stared intently at the mass outside.
It was enormous, undoubtedly larger than the rat they had encountered before. Even though he couldn’t see the creature’s complete form, he could deduce from its fur pattern, a combination of white and orange, that it was a mutated cat.
The creature seemed to be still sleeping, lying there just outside the residential complex, possibly having flattened a nearby building.
Although there was no movement at the moment, Wei Xuan worried whether it was truly asleep. What if it suddenly woke up if he approached it? Would it mistake the sounds he made while moving as that of a rat and attack him?
Standing silently by the window, lost in thought for a while, Wei Xuan finally pointed outside and turned to Du Hang to discuss, “Can you carry me and try to silently go over there to assess the situation?”
He knew his words were a bit too long, making it difficult for Du Hang to understand the full meaning. But he had to ask; otherwise, even if he approached quietly by himself… who knew if the cat would perceive the sounds he made while moving as those of a rat and attack him?
Du Hang looked at him and then looked up at the “sleeping” cat outside.
Just as Wei Xuan thought that Du Hang didn’t understand his request, Du Hang bent down again, picked him up horizontally, and carried him out of the bedroom, out of the house, and out of the residential complex…
Well, being carried like this twice actually felt quite comfortable, setting aside the embarrassment. It was much more comfortable than being carried on his shoulder.
With a few leaps, they covered the remaining short distance in an instant. Wei Xuan was held by Du Hang on a collapsed building, and from there, he could roughly see the creature’s appearance.
Wei Xuan observed the red blood on the ground and carefully examined the abnormally large and fat body of the cat. He also noticed the collapsed buildings that it had seemingly crushed…
When he was inside his home, due to the angle and the cat’s size, he couldn’t clearly see it. However, from this position, he could confirm, this entire residential complex had been almost completely flattened by it!
Moreover, was this really just a cat? Even if it was a mutation, it was just too fat! And who could have killed it? It couldn’t possibly have been their own group of zombies, right?
After confirming that the cat had no signs of breathing, Wei Xuan quickly asked Du Hang to carry him back to the residential complex. Then he started counting the number of their own zombies, after the encounter with the rat, Wei Xuan had taken the time to count them while feeding them. Excluding the zombie couple and Du Hang, there were a total of 173 zombies in their residential complex.
Although they could continue to recruit more zombies into the complex, Wei Xuan was concerned that having too many might disrupt the cultivation of their “farmland.” Additionally, with limited resources, he couldn’t afford to maintain too many zombies. So, counting them now was relatively easy.
During the count, he indeed discovered some problematic individuals…
Could it be that he had been too generous with the snowflakes he provided? Almost half of the security guard zombies in their residential complex had obvious fresh blood on them!
And these blood-stained individuals, without a doubt, were mostly the group of zombies that had just grown new bodies!
Don’t ask him how he could be sure; not to mention their faces, but many of them didn’t even have their pants on and were covered in blood. Wei Xuan could definitely recognize them!
After confirming that these individuals had participated in the fight and had some wounds, but had likely recovered through consuming snowflakes, Wei Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly climbed up to the adjacent building to find those two individuals.
Upon entering and pushing open the bedroom door, he saw two people sleeping on a pink bed, a tall figure lying on the bed, and a shorter figure sitting astride the tall figure, leaning forward with their mouths together.
The scene was so eye-catching that Wei Xuan nearly choked on his breath.
After gasping for air for a while, he approached with a dark expression, ignoring the couple’s oblivious and affectionate pose. He carefully examined their hands, confirming that although there were dried traces of blood, there were no visible wounds on their bodies, and the ropes binding them were intact.
Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and left the bedroom, he also found two sets of blood-stained clothes on the kitchen floor of their house, these two individuals had indeed been involved in the fight!
Oh no, they killed kitty
Thank you for your translation 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
Thanks for the chapter! Sad that the cat died, but I’m glad the resident zombies are ok.
A+ security force 🤣
He was taking care of them in vain.
Well, the zombie residents protected the neighborhood… and the zombie couple is definitely giving WZ a headache…hahaha! Thanks for the update 🤣❤️🤣❤️
Awwww I was actually hoping for a pet. But now the zombies are more efficient killing machines woo!!
The lovey-dovey couple don’t care.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BEING AWESOME!!!
Lol I love the dog food😂💚💚
I deluded myself into thinking he was going to get a pet… I had forgotten that pets grew to be giants. But wow, the zombie family’s battle strength has really grown! If once they took a sad victory (almost a beating), this time they simply crushed the opponent!
Wow. At least the security is getting better…
Noooo, I thought they’ll have a kitty comrade:<
aww I thought the cat would be his pet. it was a fat cat too!
aww :((
