As the weather transitioned from August, gradually becoming cooler, the lingering heat of the late summer persisted, making the weather still hot and unbearable. Although this climate didn’t affect Wei Xuan much due to his altered physique, he still found himself sweating profusely in humid weather. Therefore, even though he didn’t feel particularly hot lately, he still needed to take showers every day. And it wasn’t just Wei Xuan who took them, even Du Hang joined him.
Sharing a bath with his husband was undoubtedly a delightful and romantic pastime, especially when there wasn’t much to do after finishing the construction of their house. Wei Xuan had plenty of free time and thoroughly enjoyed these moments with Du Hang.
Every morning and before going to bed, Wei Xuan would measure his and Du Hang’s body temperature. His temperature consistently stayed around 28 degrees, with minimal fluctuations. On the other hand, Du Hang’s temperature mysteriously increased from its original 12 degrees to 13 degrees.
Wei Xuan wasn’t sure why this happened, but the change seemed to be in a positive direction. He hoped that his expectations would become reality someday. However, his only concern was, “What if you become normal again, and I turn into an oblivious zombie?”
Feeling a chill running down his spine, Wei Xuan leaned his head, still wet from the shower, on Du Hang’s shoulder. As his body temperature inexplicably dropped, Du Hang’s rose. This made Wei Xuan wonder if his speculation had some possibility of becoming true.
If there came a day when Du Hang became a normal person while he turned into an oblivious zombie…
His body shuddered in the persisting heat, which seemed eerie. Wei Xuan turned around and forcefully grabbed Du Hang’s arms, shaking him, “If you dare to abandon me once you’re back to normal—” He paused, feeling somewhat discouraged.
Despite the affectionate physical intimacy they shared every day, if Du Hang regained his human intellect and realized that Wei Xuan was no longer the same as him, would he still stay with him?
In the past, Wei Xuan had never thought deeply about this because, despite firmly believing that Du Hang was different from other zombies, he had no certainty about whether Du Hang could return to being human. The thought never crossed his mind.
Before the apocalypse, not every attractive guy was gay, and someone as handsome as Du Hang might not be either. If it weren’t for the apocalypse and the uniqueness of his abilities, who knew if he could find such an outstanding man as Du Hang?

As Wei Xuan was shaking Du Hang, revealing his gloomy emotions, Du Hang blinked a couple of times before leaning down and kissing his lips. It seemed like Du Hang could sense his emotions, perhaps due to Wei Xuan’s abilities not necessarily requiring verbal communication with zombies. He started to gently touch Wei Xuan’s lips with his own and deepened the kiss, making Wei Xuan feel a bit lightheaded and dizzy.

Without a doubt, when Wei Xuan looked in that direction, there was nothing but a wall. He immediately stood up, walked to the window, and grabbed the binoculars placed on the windowsill to gaze into the distance. Perhaps due to the distance, he couldn’t see clearly what was there beyond numerous obstacles.
After a while, he had to frown and look back at Du Hang, who was still staring in that direction intently. “What’s over there? Are there more mutated creatures?”
Du Hang’s brainwaves didn’t send any messages externally at the moment, but upon hearing Wei Xuan’s question, he seemed to pause for a moment and then turned to look at Wei Xuan’s face. A familiar brainwave transmitted: “Food, food, food…”
“Food?” Wei Xuan was stunned. His first reaction to the term was “mutated creatures.” However, upon a little thought, he realized that something didn’t add up. For himself, hunting and consuming mutated creatures as food was a given, but Du Hang was a zombie! Even though Wei Xuan diligently fed him deer velvet porridge every day, Du Hang never emitted the signal of “eating” when he fed him. Instead, he showed signs of being hungry when he fed him snowflakes.
For a zombie, what is food? Isn’t it humans?
He gasped, suddenly turning his head to look in that direction. “Humans?! Survivors? Could it be those two crazies? Are they coming towards us?!”
His current location was still too low, so he immediately grabbed Du Hang’s arm and rushed out of the room to the top floor. Once he climbed to the sixth floor, even without the assistance of binoculars, he could vaguely see some movement in the distance. If there were living humans in the city, what kind of situation would unfold? It would be a spectacle.
Though Wei Xuan hadn’t yet figured out who was moving and where, he could see that the zombies in the distance were swarming in a certain direction, like a tide, towards something that emitted a tempting food smell.
“Want to eat… want to eat, want to eat…”
The nearby zombies succumbed to their instincts, drawn to the delicious scent of the food, including Du Hang, despite being a self-controlled zombie. However, Wei Xuan noticed that Du Hang’s reaction was merely a mouthwatering response and not his usual natural “I’m hungry” signal.
He promptly held Du Hang’s hand and glared at him, saying, “No eating random things! Those will upset your stomach!”
Du Hang’s expression remained unchanged, but he clearly showed a sense of grievance. It was understandable, he really wanted to eat, and the smell was truly enticing. However, since the apocalypse, he hadn’t taken a single bite, okay?!
Wei Xuan pondered the issue of whether Du Hang could eat human flesh. Finally, a loud rumble echoed from that direction, and at last, Wei Xuan caught a glimpse of those people through the gaps between streets and ruins. “Military vehicles! Armored vehicles! It’s the people from the official base coming in to find something…”
The people from the official base didn’t usually go out for operations without drawing attention, and their large, conspicuous groups were hard to miss. So unless they didn’t enter the city, if they did enter, it was definitely for an important mission.
Now, it was already the second half of the second year after the apocalypse. In the city, even if there were important people who couldn’t be saved before, by now, most of them would likely be gone. Therefore, Wei Xuan speculated that this team entering the city probably came for some crucial supplies.
What worried him the most now was that he feared these people might pass through their residential area!
Du Hang’s perception and detection range was much larger than that of an ordinary zombie. He had already sensed them before they came close to their residential area. If it were only Du Hang who detected them, Wei Xuan could manage to stop him from provoking that group of people. However, if the others got closer, the other zombies in their community might rush over!
Wei Xuan couldn’t spare any time to go downstairs to tether them all together. Even if he managed to do it, who knew if they would just drag him along and rush over? He felt anxious, but for now, all he could do was stay here and observe the situation, silently praying that the others wouldn’t come near.
Unfortunately, Wei Xuan’s prayers seemingly went unanswered. That team went through a few intersections and unexpectedly headed straight toward Wei Xuan’s direction. Of course, they weren’t directly coming toward his residential area but driving along a road parallel to the one just a block away from where Wei Xuan was.
When the convoy was still some distance away from the community, the security zombie in the community didn’t detect anything unusual. However, when they were about two or three intersections away, the zombies in the community clearly started to get agitated!
Wei Xuan’s eyes caught sight of the neighboring building’s window, and to his extreme annoyance, he realized that he had forgotten about the other two guys!
The two male zombies clearly heard the commotion and crawled out of the window onto the rooftop. From their appearance, it seemed like they were about to rush over at any moment!
“Take me over there! Those two idiots!” Wei Xuan couldn’t bear to let his zombies go out and die, didn’t they hear the faint sounds of gunfire from the street?
He would prioritize stopping the two idiots! Even though they were lovey-dovey all the time, blinding him with their affection, and he had been too lazy to take them out recently to avoid attracting attention, Wei Xuan still didn’t want to watch them desperately fighting and eating human flesh.
Du Hang immediately picked up Wei Xuan and jumped out of the window. Using the edge of the window frame, they flipped up to the rooftop. After a few leaps, they ran to the adjacent rooftop. Wei Xuan quickly grabbed the rope between the two guys just as they were about to leap toward the direction of the convoy.
Feeling the resistance around their waist, the two guys emitted signals like “It smells so good” and “It’s so delicious” stopped in their tracks, turned back, and saw Du Hang holding Wei Xuan in a princess carry. Their expressions turned a bit resentful.
Ignoring the two gluttons, Wei Xuan was relieved when he saw them calm down. However, when he looked down, he instantly frowned, among his zombies, those agile on their feet had already jumped onto the wall and were attempting to run towards the convoy. The rest were trying to climb the walls and escape the enclosure to catch people to eat!
“NONE OF YOU DARE TO LEAVE!!”
I’m not sure if they are resentful for being stopped or the princess carry.
Yesssss, zombies aren’t meant to eat dog food….
Oh, do I sense a new ability coming up 😉
Simon sez STOP! Zombie command ability would be so cool…crossing my fingers it works… Thanks for the update 🤣❤️🤣❤️🤣
Aaah naughty zombies ~
Pretty sure the other couple are more upset about the princess carry than the not-eating.
Mama’s angry now. Zombie duckling better behave.
oh shit
