After spending several lazy days in bed, Wei Xuan finally decided to get up one morning. During these days, he had tried to replenish his energy and repair his body’s “damage” by consuming snowflakes, but what frustrated him was that every time he did so, Du Hang would also eat snowflakes.
So, after replenishing their energy together, they would engage in playful activities, and Wei Xuan found himself unable to resist Du Hang’s advances, leading to repeated “mistakes” and yielding to his partner’s playful antics, often ending up in bed together.
Playing too many games had some adverse effects, such as on their eyesight and physical stamina. After engaging in bedroom activities for a prolonged period, even a zombie wouldn’t be able to endure it. Therefore, on this particular morning, Wei Xuan made a resolute decision to kick Du Hang out of bed and get up himself.
Wei Xuan had indeed turned into a zombie, and he had secretly harbored thoughts about Du Hang for a while, but he refused to let this be an excuse for his descent into laziness.
Du Hang obediently followed Wei Xuan, accompanying him to the bathroom to freshen up and helping him prepare breakfast. Wei Xuan had decided to replenish his human dietary needs alongside consuming snowflakes to boost his energy. They wandered around the house together, and finally, they sat on the couch to review some notes.
Throughout the morning, Wei Xuan had not paid much attention to Du Hang, fearing that any interaction would lead to his partner’s usual playful advances. Wei Xuan couldn’t help but wonder why he, a usually rational person, couldn’t resist Du Hang’s actions.
He began to suspect that Du Hang might have developed some new supernatural abilities, like pheromones or hormones, that affected him in this way. This had become a source of frustration for Wei Xuan, who prided himself on his self-control.
Looking at the entry in his notebook about freezing ice cubes, Wei Xuan sighed in exasperation and lightly tapped his forehead.
“Sigh, I knew it would be a distraction… Well, let’s go check it out.”
He had been thinking about this task since the first day of heavy snowfall. However, with the snow continuously falling for several days and the temperature remaining below freezing, he was aware that most of the water stored in their buildings had frozen solid.

Wei Xuan paced around the two buildings that usually stored clean drinking water, frowning as he assessed the situation. He was reluctant to thaw and refreeze the ice since it was both troublesome and wasteful of energy. Furthermore, he didn’t want to allocate too many containers to hold the thawed ice, as these containers could be used to store water once again.

As for the ice cubes frozen in the clean water containers, he still had plenty of spare ones. He decided to move them all to the ice cellar.
With a plan in mind, Wei Xuan began to direct his zombie underlings to take action. At this point, Wei Xuan had become a zombie himself, so he wasn’t worried about the possibility of becoming a zombie by consuming water contaminated with the zombie virus. He had the underlings focus on pouring out the purified, frozen water and storing it in the plastic bags.
As for the ice cubes in the clean water containers that were already frozen solid, he decided to move them all to the ice cellar.
The zombie underlings were busy pouring and transporting ice, a task that would take some time. After they had finished, they could collect the clean snow from the neighborhood and place it in the empty containers. Once purified again, the snow could be used for daily needs and stored for later use.
“Ah, this makes things much easier,” Wei Xuan remarked as he watched his underlings work diligently on a street they frequently used. They scurried back and forth, much like diligent worker ants. The feeling of being a hands-off manager truly put him in a good mood, much better than personally handling all the tasks.
Du Hang remained obediently by Wei Xuan’s side, hoping that he would turn around so that he could seize the opportunity to get closer and seek affection. Although Du Hang could easily turn Wei Xuan around and engage in passionate kisses, he had refrained from doing so these past few days because Wei Xuan had become increasingly resistant to his advances. Therefore, Du Hang decided not to take any chances for the time being.
As they stood side by side in the snow, each lost in their thoughts, Du Hang suddenly turned his head and said, “They’re here.”
“Huh? Who’s here?” Wei Xuan was initially puzzled by Du Hang’s words, but then he realized that Du Hang was likely referring to the occasional zombies that would approach them to claim territory.
Following Du Hang’s gaze, Wei Xuan looked in the direction indicated, although his view was obstructed by a building.
Upon hearing Wei Xuan’s question, Du Hang smoothly bent down to pick him up, openly taking advantage of the situation and carrying him in the direction they were looking at. As they left the area, the busy zombie underlings muttered comments like “shameless,” “taking advantage,” and “being affectionate.”
Du Hang’s pace was so brisk that Wei Xuan didn’t have time to hear what his own zombie underlings were saying. They had already left the neighborhood’s main gate and reached the top of something in the street.
There were few signs of zombies on the street. After a heavy snowfall, most of the city’s zombies had gone into a “sleep” of sorts. The only ones currently active were Wei Xuan’s group of zombie underlings and the high-intelligence zombies occupying various parts of the city.
The arrivals were undoubtedly the advanced zombies.
From a distance, Wei Xuan could easily recognize the leader among them. He was exceptionally conspicuous, and Wei Xuan had never seen any other zombie in T City with such a commanding presence. While others would typically lead their own group when they ventured outside, even the most dignified zombie bosses would only bring a handful of subordinates to maintain appearances. However, this one was different; every time he ventured out, he relied on others to carry him…
Well, upon closer reflection, it was not much different from Wei Xuan being carried around by Du Hang every time they went out. But Wei Xuan found himself in a “pot calling the kettle black” situation, unable to see beyond the fact that he was currently the “piggybacked” one.
Wei Xuan gazed at the little zombie girl approaching with a slightly subtle expression. It was indeed a peculiar connection they had, as they had encountered each other since the early days of the apocalypse. Their previous encounters had always been rather heart-pounding, and Wei Xuan had expected a showdown between him, Du Hang, and this young zombie girl.
As the young zombie girl approached, she was accompanied by a few more underlings than the other zombies, catching Wei Xuan’s attention. He only glanced briefly before focusing on the young girl herself. She was not riding her “father,” but a male zombie who appeared to be in his twenties or thirties, with a strong and agile physique, the same one Wei Xuan had seen at the zombie gathering.
Wei Xuan suspected that her father, not being a high-level zombie, didn’t mind accompanying her during leisurely walks. However, for longer journeys, they needed a strong, sturdy “mount.”
When the group of zombies arrived in front of him, Wei Xuan stood still, waiting for them. It wasn’t that he was trying to be pretentious or unapproachable, but rather that Du Hang had placed him on the roof of a car, and he was afraid of slipping down if he moved too quickly.
Although he could easily jump down, he preferred to appear dignified when facing others, especially when they were already in front of him.
The young zombie girl was carried on the shoulder of another zombie, and while she was shorter than Wei Xuan, she appeared taller than the other zombies.
Before Wei Xuan could even begin to ask questions, her little face suddenly contorted. With a pout on her round, cherubic face, she pointed angrily behind her, as if venting her frustration, and exclaimed, “Give birth! Give birth! Give birth!”
Wei Xuan blinked, utterly baffled. “Huh?”
Before he could comprehend what she meant, the young girl continued to kick her legs against the tall zombie’s neck and pointed angrily behind her, emphasizing each word, “Let, them, give birth!!”
The mental impact of this statement was so great that Wei Xuan stood in stunned silence for a good ten seconds before finally turning his gaze in the direction the girl was pointing. He saw three individuals being carried by her underlings. Their clothes were tattered, and their hair was unkempt. However, it was vaguely apparent that there were two women and one man among them, with the man sporting a scruffy beard.
The three people appeared to be in a miserable state, either from the cold or from being manhandled by the zombies. They all looked nearly lifeless, with no strength to turn their heads towards Wei Xuan.
How did Wei Xuan know that these three were “humans” and not zombies? It was because, as he noticed the three individuals, he also clearly sensed a scent emanating from them that was as enticing as the scent of snowflakes.
So, I’ve really become a zombie… Wei Xuan thought, momentarily ignoring the young girl’s earlier words and the pitiful state of the three individuals.
Thanks for the update
Thanks for the chapter!
Yo. Let them give birth? Cattle? Like cows? xD
Does she want him to create a breeding farm for humans? That other dude she was working with told her they need to let woman get away so they can produce babies and create more humans. There’s also a lot less humans running around now. So maybe she made the connection?
O….K…. What the funky chicken is up now?!? Guess it’s a weird cliffhanger, really weird. Thanks for the update 🤣❤️🤣❤️🤣❤️🤣

Smh, that’s cause that fool put that idea in her head before he died.
