Wei Xuan held his head, unwilling to even lift it. The buzzing of hundreds of flies seemed to surround his ears incessantly.
The jealous sounds of the zombie little brothers wanting to “kiss” and Du Hang’s affectionate display of affection, which went beyond his own dissatisfaction to proclaim dominance over others, were followed by the zombie little brothers mumbling even after being scolded…
Wei Xuan knew that if he were to shout right now, it was possible that all the zombies, including Du Hang, might quiet down, lower their voices, or even not dare to make a sound. However, the feeling of frustration that would follow would push his mind closer to the edge of explosion once again.
So, at the moment, he preferred to pretend not to hear. Unfortunately, the “voices” of the zombies were directly transmitted to his mind, and he couldn’t artificially mute them by covering his ears.
“Quiet down.” Wei Xuan tugged at Du Hang next to him. Now, he was even cautious about sitting in Du Hang’s embrace, fearing that those zombies would also learn to “want a hug” after being around him for too long, or that they would come one by one seeking affection.
Initially, when he had discovered that these zombies seemed to understand him and considered the neighborhood their home, Wei Xuan had been quite pleased. He had even taken care of them, changing their clothes and cleaning up the heavily bloodstained zombie little brothers and their heads.
But now, he couldn’t imagine himself patting and touching these creatures. He was genuinely afraid that Du Hang would confront them directly…
Well, Wei Xuan was satisfied that Du Hang developed a possessive streak, even if it was just in this regard. He wouldn’t quarrel with these creatures over it.
In fact, besides this point, these zombies had other important roles for Wei Xuan, roles he hadn’t realized due to the lack of insight. For instance, during this outing, he had been worried about the mutated insect’s severed limb he had seen shortly after leaving home. He had been contemplating such matters, thinking about how to live more safely in the city.
But now, with the constant interruption of messages from these bear zombies, he had completely put that concern aside.
After being tugged and protested by Wei Xuan, Du Hang felt a bit wronged. But looking at Wei Xuan beside him, and then at the zombie little brothers emitting resentment from a distance, Du Hang’s sense of grievance disappeared. He could kiss, he could hug, Wei Xuan would be by his side wherever he went, and he could touch him anytime.

As a result, his resentful mood turned into a playful one, an aura that caused Wei Xuan, who was so close, to shiver involuntarily. Unable to resist, Wei Xuan glared at Du Hang, turned his head away, and refused to face him directly.

Time passed by, and after Wei Xuan took a nap and ate what could hardly be categorized as a meal, more than sixty people, apart from Du Hang and Wei Xuan, left the factory, each carrying a large canister.
Though Du Hang needed both hands to hold Wei Xuan, he also had a huge canister strapped to his back. The rope and metal frame were custom-made by Wei Xuan using Du Hang’s supernatural strength and following the dimensions of the metal canisters at home, making it very secure.
After confirming that none of the zombie little brothers who had come out were missing, Wei Xuan patted Du Hang, who was holding him, and instructed him to lead the way and guide the group of little brothers back home overnight.
Having led the group home during the night before, this time, even though each little brother had an additional large canister, it didn’t significantly affect their journey. Of course, to be on the safe side and to prevent the canisters from being shaken for too long, potentially causing an explosion, Wei Xuan split the return trip into two nights, resting at a shopping mall in between for a whole day.
Bottles and canisters, incredibly tall metal containers, were placed in a room on one floor of a building within the complex. Wei Xuan breathed a sigh of relief only when the last canister was in place. He smiled at the little brothers beside him and announced, “Alright, everyone, go rest.”
The male zombie couple walked out hand in hand, leaving a group of little brothers who also emitted a strangely cheerful mood as they gradually left the room.
Sensing their joy, Wei Xuan’s expression momentarily froze, and then he looked odd. “Why do they seem so happy? Could it be that they really enjoy being laborers? Or maybe they like carrying things around the streets?”
Even as someone with the ability to hear their “thoughts,” Wei Xuan couldn’t discern the zombies’ emotions. So, for now, he put this matter aside and, together with Du Hang, inspected the situation within the complex, confirming that nothing was added or missing, and that no strange objects like the massive insect limb were found. Only then did he feel at ease enough to rest and sleep in the room.
After a whole day of rest, Wei Xuan began bustling around again. He intended to renovate his living space, prioritizing using spray polyurethane foam and some materials he had collected earlier to remodel.
However, he had not yet decided whether to use the surplus walls to reinforce the interior of the room or the exterior.
Sticking the walls inside had the advantage of making it less likely for outsiders to notice any anomalies in the room. However, it would affect the usable space of the room and its original interior design. On the other hand, if he chose to reinforce the exterior, it would increase the risk of discovery.
Previously, because he hadn’t thought this through, Wei Xuan had prepared both options in advance and was planning to decide after the materials were ready.
Now, after tidying up himself and Du Hang, Wei Xuan once again wandered around the room. Then, he opened the window and stuck his head out to check the outside situation before finally making a decision.
“Let’s do it on the inside.”
He realized he had not thought this through clearly before. He wasn’t the ordinary person he used to be before the apocalypse, living in a small apartment. He now owned an entire complex!
And if he wished, he could claim even more houses as his base, his territory!
So, was it really necessary for him to worry about a single room’s reduced usable space?
Realizing this, Wei Xuan couldn’t help but chuckle. His previous hesitations stemmed from worries about the reduction in usable space and his reluctance to disturb the interior decor of this house, which was quite decent. However, for long-term considerations and safety’s sake, these measures were necessary.
Therefore, the now slightly less intelligent Wei Xuan, who had already become less sensitive to temperature changes, gathered his zombie little brothers and together with Du Hang, began renovating the room.
First, they moved each piece of furniture and item in the room to other rooms on the same floor. Even the room they lived in was temporarily moved to the neighboring one. After Wei Xuan inspected the original room’s condition, he had the little brothers start removing the wall covering, and then… in just half an hour, the floor of the whole room was covered with a layer of wall covering dust…
“Fortunately, this isn’t my house.” Wei Xuan’s mouth twitched a few times.
Although he had been living in this house for over a year, he hadn’t truly felt it was his private property. Otherwise, even if there were already several places where the wall covering had cracked and peeled, he wouldn’t be willing to cause such a commotion!
They cleared away all the wall covering – with the help of the little brothers, the physical labor was hardly an issue. Wei Xuan directed the little brothers to clean and scrape the wall covering again, ensuring the cement walls were relatively smooth.
Then, he had the little brothers build a metal frame on the walls of the room and had Du Hang spray polyurethane foam. The other little brothers helped apply a layer of smooth wooden boards for decoration.
Before, when he was building the ice cellar, he used metal sheets for the walls since it was meant for refrigeration, and that material was more suitable. However, it was unsuitable for a living environment like now.
These wooden boards had been collected by Wei Xuan and his little brothers from nearby renovation sites earlier. Now they were perfect for this use.
The foam spraying and board application went very smoothly. After the entire room was refurbished, Wei Xuan realized that it was already lunchtime!
He rewarded Du Hang, who was mainly responsible for spraying foam, with a pat and then directly took him next door to have lunch. As for the zombie little brothers – they could wander around the room freely; as long as he left the door open, they would soon wander downstairs and back to their beloved path in the complex.
After lunch, Wei Xuan thought for a moment and decided to temporarily abandon the idea of replacing the tiles with that material. He headed to the room where he had collected renovation materials earlier, picked out a wallpaper after some consideration, and then… he could finally rest.
The room that had been sprayed with foam would have a smell and needed to be ventilated for a while before being usable. Furthermore, for the overall feel of the room, Wei Xuan also planned to apply a layer of paste on the wooden boards to make the walls smoother – there would still be some gaps between the boards.
Of course, while these tasks sounded troublesome, they were not difficult for the present Wei Xuan. He had his zombie husband with exceptional abilities and a group of zombie little brothers that could be trained into versatile laborers. He wouldn’t feel any pressure even if he wanted to tear down and rebuild all the houses in the city!
