“Why did you kill him without saying a word?” Wei Xuan pressed his still pounding heart with one hand and began poking Du Hang’s chest with the other.
“And I’m not even sure if it was him…”
Although that guy was indeed highly suspicious, Wei Xuan was still not entirely certain if he was the one. At least, for the two of them in this life, this incident probably would not happen again.
After poking Du Hang for a while and seeing his expression still blank, Wei Xuan decided to give up investigating the matter. It wasn’t Du Hang’s fault. Let’s just consider it as the current Du Hang avenging his past self… though this grudge was a bit difficult to quantify.
After some contemplation, Wei Xuan decided to categorize Du Hang’s actions as good deeds. Based on today’s battle, that guy would probably play a significant role in undermining the survivors going out on missions from the base.
So, he might as well see it as the two of them eradicating harm for the people?
No, it couldn’t be simplified like that either. In the battle between humans and zombies, humans also used strategies to attract and eliminate large groups of zombies. For Wei Xuan, whose position was delicate at the moment, he didn’t know which side he should stand on.
“Sigh… let’s just consider him dead.”
Regardless, the person was dead, so let him stay dead. It could be considered removing a potential threat. After all, who knew what impact this person, who followed the “zombie queen”, would have on the future of the city?
Even though the guy seemed a bit crazy just now, if his fate hadn’t been altered, he could have easily passed off as an ordinary person in the base, with both intellect and emotional intelligence.
Having such a person follow the obvious queen of the zombies was definitely not a good thing. At least, he could serve as some kind of advisor to her.
As for whether the zombie girl would capture other people from the base to play that role again, it was not something Wei Xuan could meddle in, after all, he would definitely not do it himself.
At this moment, Wei Xuan and Du Hang were hiding in a high-rise building. Just as he had imagined, in case their tracks were discovered by those zombies, he feared they would be followed all the way to their base, causing damage to their home.

Thinking about this, Wei Xuan began to worry again. He touched Du Hang’s face and earnestly instructed him, “If those guys get close, you must warn me! We absolutely cannot let them catch us!”
Du Hang’s current mood was blank, so Wei Xuan had no way to determine if he could understand.
While worrying about his current situation, Wei Xuan also worried about other issues, such as the safety of their residential area.
Although those little zombie minions could guard against humans and mutated animals, if they encountered this group of zombies… would they still be able to provide protection and warnings?
Wei Xuan’s mood plummeted even further, filled with worry. He pondered for a moment and made a new decision: “After we go back this time, we need to find some surveillance cameras! I want to install some in our base!”
Actually, he had this idea before, but these things required being powered 24/7, and his home’s solar panels couldn’t handle that. But now… at least he could hope to get some more energy converters from that base! In return, he would have to find more supplies for them in the future!
Although this meant relying on the goodwill of that base, after weighing the risks to his own safety and the possibility of being taken advantage of, Wei Xuan decided to prioritize the issue of safety.
With his focus temporarily shifted to the priority of future life, Wei Xuan once again looked out the window at the roads nearby and far away. He had to prioritize getting through this crisis to prevent those zombies from tracking them, otherwise, their future days would be far from peaceful.
They spent two full days in the high-rise building, and Wei Xuan was finally convinced that he and Du Hang were temporarily safe. The group of zombies never caught up with them.
In fact, on the afternoon they first took shelter in the building, Wei Xuan had used his high-powered telescope to spot the group of zombies on the highway walking to a suburban town in T City. However, he didn’t immediately move because he was worried it might be a diversion, and they could be tracked or ambushed from another direction.
Now it seemed that the zombies didn’t have any interest in pursuing them. Perhaps that dead guy wasn’t as important to the zombies as he thought.
After confirming this, Du Hang carried Wei Xuan back to the place of the previous battle that night.
This stretch of road was relatively quiet, with only a few scattered zombies wandering around. The place where the battle had occurred was filled with overturned cars, scattered remains of limbs, and the already blackened blood on the ground.
On the open space in front of the factory lay a headless body that had been dead for some time.
Wei Xuan looked at the body, then at the head lying nearby, and a disturbing suspicion emerged in his mind. “This is that guy’s head.”
He circled around the body and looked up at Du Hang. “He was killed by you earlier, he was hit by a hidden weapon made from a mutated plant leaf.” The shiny object was still embedded conspicuously in the man’s forehead.
“But why was his head cut off? And the position he’s lying in is not right…”
Wei Xuan noticed a pool of blackened blood a few steps away from the body. Even more bizarre was the head… “This part has been opened, just like…” Just like how people would dig out a crystal nucleus after killing a zombie…
“Zombies can also eat crystal nuclei.” So, this wound might have been caused by the zombies.
“But… does a person’s head… have a crystal nucleus?!” Wei Xuan felt something was off. He vaguely remembered that this person didn’t have any abilities in his previous life. No, wait! How could a real non-ability user mix with the zombies? Perhaps that person’s ability was similar to his own, a non combat ability?
With this thought, Wei Xuan stood up and took a deep breath. “So, that means ability users should have a crystal nucleus in their heads, right?” That’s why the zombies dug out the guy’s head to find the crystal?
“But the problem is… his body came to this position after he died… He couldn’t have stood up after he died…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Wei Xuan was startled by his own speculation. “Could it be that people can get infected with the virus and turn into zombies after death?!”
While he could comprehend it that way, he felt that something was still not quite right.
Furrowing his brow, Wei Xuan circled the area again. Other than this guy’s body, there were no other corpses around. Only at the locations where people had been lying during the battle could some black bloodstains be seen. Other than that, there were no traces of limbs or corpses.
Either these people were completely devoured, or they were taken away… “Reserve food.” This was very likely.
With a complex expression, Wei Xuan looked at the headless corpse. If the little girl zombie could truly understand him and use his surveillance on the base’s teams coming to the city for missions to set traps… It was very possible that the little girl zombie carried some living reserve food after capturing humans.
Letting out a soft sigh, Wei Xuan stopped dwelling on these questions. He held Du Hang’s hand and said, “Let’s go and see if there are still things we need in that warehouse.”
The reason they returned here was to confirm the situation with the little girl zombie. From their direct contact this time, Wei Xuan felt that although he still had some wariness towards her, it wasn’t as terrifying as the last encounter.
Especially the moment they locked eyes at the end, even though he sensed a chilling threat, he quickly calmed down. The fear he had previously seemed to have diminished. Perhaps he had indeed become accustomed to this feeling, so he was less nervous?
Or maybe there was some other reason. But it was precisely because of this change that he decided to come back here and assess the situation.
Apart from that, he needed to verify the specifics of the battle here and, most importantly, get the things he needed.
After all, the zombies should not return shortly after leaving. Wei Xuan refused to believe that their lair was nearby. When he encountered them last time, they were not in the same place. Apparently, they were wandering around the vicinity of T City.
Having figured this out, the two continued walking along the road. After a few steps, Wei Xuan suddenly turned his head to look at the office building where the little girl zombie had hidden before. Unlike the building he had stayed in before, almost all the glass here was intact, indicating that she was quite picky about her temporary resting place.
Seeing this, Wei Xuan couldn’t help but feel fortunate, fortunately, he didn’t choose this building back then.
Thanks for the chapter!
Yikes, she would not make a good neighbor… Thanks for the update 🤣
Maybe Tiny Zombie Queen can become less chilling in the future.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BEING AWESOME!!
uh oh, particular about housing? like a certain community in a good area with mostly intact buildings, plumbing, and zombie guards that don’t need to be controlled?
Little princess loves comfort
Thank you for your translation 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
