After visiting the homes of those two and returning to his own house, Wei Xuan became less anxious than before. This was also somewhat related to his body temperature, which he had measured after returning and found it stable at twenty-five degrees Celsius, no longer fluctuating.
Lowering body temperature wasn’t concerning; the worry lay in a continuous and uncontrollable drop.
As a result, the stable body temperature also brought more stability to Wei Xuan’s mood. Consequently, he prepared some provisions and food to bring along for the outing. He chose a group of his zombie minions to accompany him and Du Hang.
Before setting off, Wei Xuan contemplated and decided to bring the affectionate male zombie couple along. After all, even in the pre-apocalyptic times, maintaining friendships required occasional interactions and festive gatherings.
What about now? If he just let them roam around the neighborhood and allow those two to stay in their house doing indecent things all day, who knew when another accident might happen? Could he stop those two from sacrificing themselves again?
Currently, what comforted Wei Xuan the most was that he no longer had to tie all the zombies and himself together with a rope when going out with them. As long as he led them out beyond the walls of his neighborhood, they would either automatically crawl back over the wall without any instructions, or they would obediently follow behind him.
This was something he accidentally discovered when he had gone to the neighboring basement to build an ice cellar. With this self-following effect, their outings became much more convenient.
After packing the food and water separately into their backpacks, Wei Xuan also put some food and simple medical supplies in the bags carried by his zombie minions for them to carry and use.
Once everything was prepared, after dawn the next day, Wei Xuan led his zombie minions out of the community in a grand procession, heading toward the factory where a large quantity of spray polyurethane foam had been transported last time.
Despite his preparations, Wei Xuan still felt a bit uneasy about this trip, which was naturally related to the little zombie girl. After all, the number of his minions was far fewer than hers. If they were to meet, he wouldn’t be able to escape as he had last time by having Du Hang carry him. He wasn’t sure if the speed at which the little zombie girl’s zombies could run and jump would be faster than his minions’.
Du Hang’s bouncing speed was quite fast, that much had been thoroughly tested. The only zombies Wei Xuan had seen that were faster were the male couple. Although his zombie minions’ speed was already quite impressive, the fighting ability of the zombies the little zombie girl had was strong. It was possible that they could move just as quickly. He couldn’t be sure if his minions could outrun them.
Therefore, the best outcome would be to avoid meeting them this time.
Moreover, he hadn’t encountered that group lately, not since he had gone nearby for a stroll. He would also not have had the courage if it weren’t for that fact. As a result, this time, he led his team of zombies out of the neighborhood in a grand procession, heading toward the location of the previous target.

Although he was passing through these sections, he still checked the road surface carefully when passing by. He made sure that it wouldn’t collapse even if he and the zombies walked over it. For areas with obvious fractures, he still chose to detour to avoid any potential danger.
However, during one of these observations, he turned pale as he looked at a piece of limb that protruded from a giant crack in the ground…
“… What is that thing?!” Wei Xuan’s scalp felt numb. Although he couldn’t clearly see the full appearance of that thing and it was clearly broken off from something else, there was no denying that the thing was too horrifying!
Jet black, with a chilling sheen where the sunlight hit it, the black, elongated thing had serrated structures on its surface and fine fur on its claw-like appendage. But it was much more terrifying than the fur on the legs of an ordinary insect… Yes, that thing was definitely an insect limb!!
Wei Xuan felt his legs go weak. He wasn’t particularly afraid of insects before. He had even handled some non-venomous spiders and scorpions.
But the one lying on the ground now…
“… This thing is half the size of me?! What did this thing originally look like?!”
Although Wei Xuan was a distance away from that thing, he didn’t dare to approach. Who knew if the original body of that thing was still around?! Who knew why it had lost its limb?!
Discovering this terrifying “thing” in the city apart from the zombies… Wei Xuan felt greatly distressed, and he had a faint worry in his heart, how many more of these were there?
However, in his past life and this one, this was the first time he had encountered such a thing… Moreover, he had only seen a leg from a distance until now.
But how did it get there? Were there just one of them? Or perhaps there were many, but he had coincidentally only seen this leg today?
Wei Xuan felt uncertain about all this. He couldn’t even determine if this thing originated in the city or if it was brought in by that convoy. After all, their grand and impressive journey might have unintentionally stirred up something unexpected along the way.
However, he wasn’t ready to delve deeper into this question right now. Meanwhile, he became more concerned about the underground garage where he had built the ice cellar. He was afraid that this thing might have actually emerged from some crack in the ground…
His mood, which had been quite good, became downcast after encountering the unexpected entity. Nevertheless, Wei Xuan continued to lead his zombie minions towards their destination with determination.
This was also a way to make the best of a bad situation. He hadn’t asked Du Hang or the other zombies around him about this issue after discovering the strange thing. Even though asking might not yield any clear answers, at the very least, his zombie minions and his zombie husband had both seen it. It might serve as a reminder.
Leading his group of minions day and night, they finally arrived near their destination, flipping mountains and crossing hills. Wei Xuan climbed up a tall building, held a telescope, and carefully surveyed the area for a long time. Only after confirming that there were no anomalies nearby did he climb down and continue in that direction with his minions.
The streets were normal, and the number of nearby zombies was as scarce as it had been during the previous visit. The nearby wilderness was equally barren, just like the previous times.
However, now that Wei Xuan had something on his mind, whenever he looked at those open areas of wilderness, he couldn’t help but think, “Could there be any strange animals or plants there?”
“I really should fix my mind,” Wei Xuan sighed, shaking his head. With his minions, he proceeded towards the factory they had visited before.
The scene was still the same: the half-open gate, the same building as before, and even the scattered heavier debris on the ground seemed identical.
Walking through the factory gate, Wei Xuan assessed the situation. He saw no signs of anyone else having been here, and there were no new footprints in the thick dust. Even the building itself had no leaks or water damage. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
“Alright, let’s start moving these things back home when it gets dark.”
This time, he brought sixty minions, which was considerably more than last time. Although it still wouldn’t be enough to empty the place, it was certainly enough for his immediate needs.
Perhaps this factory had done good business before the apocalypse, which was why there was so much inventory. The metal cans were almost as tall as an adult man, enough to last for a long time.
Furthermore, there were many pieces of equipment in the back of the factory that could directly produce plastic foam boxes and other items. However, those machines were too large and complex for Wei Xuan to transport. Therefore, he focused all his attention on the things in front of him.
After inspecting everything and confirming that the items he planned to take today were full, in good condition, and still usable, Wei Xuan moved them to a corner of the factory. He rested with his minions, waiting for darkness to fall.
Taking out a bottle of mineral water from his backpack, Wei Xuan took a sip before munching on a dry grain biscuit and some pickles. Then, he gazed in the direction of the mall’s entrance. He hadn’t specifically closed the gate; it was the same as when he had left it last time.
At this moment, his mind was wrestling with some daunting questions. After finishing the dry and almost waterless biscuit in his hand, he sighed and leaned his head on Du Hang’s shoulder.
“A convoy came in from outside the city. After this successful mission, there might be even more people coming in the future. Mutated animals, mutated plants, the little girl zombie, and now those disgusting mutated insects… My body temperature is acting up again. Who knows what the future holds?”
The post-apocalyptic life he was experiencing was nothing like what he had imagined before. Although his current life was also leisurely and comfortable, it came with its own worries and concerns. This made Wei Xuan feel uneasy even about the idea of becoming a zombie.
Thinking this, he turned his head to look at Du Hang beside him. “Tell me, why can’t our days be a bit more carefree?”
Du Hang didn’t quite understand the meaning of “carefree” in this context, but he understood the significance of Wei Xuan’s words—seeking comfort and seeking affection.
So, he naturally leaned in for a kiss.
And then…
“—Want a kiss, want a kiss…” The sound continued in succession.
The minions seconded? Or was it the lovey-dovey zombie couple?
The minions request kisses whenever the MC kisses DH only for them to be yelled at by hubby
Gotta watch that PDA…lmao! Thanks for the update 🤣❤️🤣❤️🤣
LMAOOOO Also, I noticed a couple chapters back, Du Hang was upgraded from zombie boyfriend to zombie husband, and that’s adorable
