There are three people squatting in a room with a zombie standing next to them.
Outside the broken window, there aren’t many gathered zombies on the street. Only some zombies that were awakened by human voices are struggling with their stiff limbs, rolling like small bugs in a thick layer of cotton, and unable to crawl out for a while.
Fortunately, the ice and snow have the effect of isolating most of the sound and odor, so at least for a while, no zombies can disturb the conversation of the people in the room.
Wei Xuan looked at the two figures not far away who were trying to get up but fell down completely and rubbed his forehead with some headache. He also adjusted his sitting posture with great effort: “Why did you come today?”
The two guys were wearing at least three layers of thick outerwear each, including down jackets, cotton jackets, a windbreaker, and leather pants under their clothing.
It looks like they took good measures for warmth. But wearing too much also inevitably affects their movement.
“Didn’t you say you would come over these days? We’ve been coming here every day since two days ago.”
Bai Guangnan had a silly and bright smile on his face. Since he couldn’t get up for a while, he gave up struggling and sat on the ground like a human-shaped rocking horse.
Wei Xuan’s mouth twitched again. Fortunately, he came over, otherwise, these two guys would probably come here every day until the end of the month.
“Where are you living these days?” Wei Xuan casually asked, ensuring that if anything unexpected happened, he could go directly to their place.
The two people pointed in a certain direction outside and said: “There! Upstairs!”
Following the direction they pointed, Wei Xuan raised an eyebrow and asked: “Is that the tall building?”
The two nodded repeatedly, but at this moment Wei Xuan suddenly discovered another problem: “What happened to your arm?!”
He looked at Cheng Ma’s left arm, which appeared somewhat empty, with at least half a sleeve hanging limp at her side.
Although she was wearing a lot of clothes that made it difficult to tell at first glance, it was clear that her arm couldn’t support a sleeve.
If he remembered correctly, the last time he saw these two people, the woman’s arm was still intact!
The woman’s face suddenly drooped, and Bai Guangnan also sighed.
“We’re going to look for seeds.”

“Dea ktfc kf uba atfgf, kf gjc lcab j ijguf ugbeq bo hbwylfr.”
“Ccv atfgf kjr j ilaaif bcf atja wjvf atf hbwylfr mbwf joafg er!”
“Yeah, yeah! And there were several big dogs fighting with them, so we took the opportunity to run away!”
“That group of zombies was very powerful. If the mutated dogs didn’t join the fight, we wouldn’t have been able to escape!”
“That little zombie was able to command them!”
Two people spoke one after the other, describing the things they had encountered with a lot of enthusiasm.
However, the disorderly sequence and excessive use of the third person made Wei Xuan’s head spin with their jumbled words.
It took him quite a while to sort out some of the information and then he raised his hand to interrupt them.
“Are you talking about encountering a small zombie with a group of large zombies?”
Both of them nodded repeatedly: “Yes, that’s right!”
“Was it a little zombie girl, around ten years old, who looked pretty cute and was riding on the neck of a male zombie?”
“Yes, yes! Have you seen it too?”
Wei Xuan’s face looked a bit ugly. He silently nodded his head, as he had felt something strange about that zombie when he encountered it last time. It had given him a feeling of great terror, and made him feel oppressed in an inexplicable way.
But since then, he had not encountered them again, so he thought they might have already wandered out of the city.
Now, hearing the words of these two people confirmed that they were still around and had a larger number of zombie subordinates with them.
Before, when he encountered them, there were only two zombies, a man and a woman beside that little zombie girl!
Taking a deep breath, Wei Xuan carefully advised the two people: “That zombie is very ominous, and it can control other zombies. In the future, if you can avoid them, please do so. Did you feel anything strange when you encountered them?”
Although these two people were somewhat crazy, they were not stupid. They exchanged a serious look and nodded: “It’s very powerful, and it can command its subordinates. We can’t beat it.”
Wei Xuan also nodded: “What about other feelings? Did you feel any… oppression?”
When they heard this question, the two of them became puzzled and looked at each other in confusion, then turned to Wei Xuan: “What oppression?”
Cheng Ma even held up her broken arm: “They tore off one of my arms and ate it, but it didn’t oppress us, did it?”
Wei Xuan was taken aback by her answer, but still asked with concern: “Your arm was broken?”
Cheng Ma nodded solemnly: “They tore off my entire arm, even with the shoulder meat.”
Bai Guangnan now raised his hand excitedly and boasted: “I stopped the bleeding for Cheng Ma!”
Wei Xuan asked him with some confusion: “Stop bleeding? Did you use your ability to stop the bleeding?”
Bai Guangnan nodded repeatedly. Wei Xuan asked him again: “Isn’t your ability very powerful? Can’t you make someone grow their arm back?”
At this point, Bai Guangnan blushed and scratched his cheek with his gloved hand: “Uh…I only discovered later that although I can heal others, if someone like Cheng Ma loses an arm, I can make it grow back, but the speed… it’s a bit slow.”
In other words, even if he himself was injured, even if all the flesh and skin on his body was torn off, and his arms and legs were removed, as long as he still had the two most important organs, the brain, and the heart, he could grow them all back within a day!
But if he wanted to heal others… immediate bleeding control was not a problem, but if he wanted to make limbs grow back, he needed to spend a certain amount of time every day slowly healing, and also consume much more terrifying amounts of crystal cores to replenish his spiritual power than when he healed himself.
“We have a limited number of crystal cores in our hands, so we can only treat once a day, but it’s getting faster! Look! We escaped from there six or seven days ago, and Cheng Ma’s arm has grown back by half!”
Excitedly, Bai Guangnan grabbed the empty half-sleeve of Cheng Ma and showed it to Wei Xuan.
Wei Xuan’s mouth twitched and couldn’t help reminding them: “Did you dig up the snowflakes I mentioned last time?”
“We dug up a lot! I feed them to Ruo Xin every day!”
“Xiao Cheng also likes to eat them! We dug up a lot before the snow fell and stored them!”
Wei Xuan nodded deeply and had to explain again: “I forgot to mention last time, that thing can not only be fed to zombies, but also replenish the spiritual power consumed by ability users…”
Zombies are not easy to deal with, and zombie crystals are not easy to dig up.
Especially these two people, although they have a certain level of combat power, they are almost always trapped in a siege when they fight zombies, and they hardly have time to specifically dig up crystals. So even if their abilities are strong, it’s difficult for them to save up many crystal cores.
The lack of crystal nuclei is the cause of the slow healing, so he could only concentrate on treating Cheng Ma for a while after recovering his mental strength every day, and slowly helping her arm grow.
But they have already stored so many snowflakes… Could it be that as long as he didn’t tell them, they won’t realize that the function of snowflakes is exactly the same as that of crystal nuclei?
This time, the expressions of the two of them suddenly became stunned. After a long time, Cheng Ma stood up: “Then I’ll go home and get snowflakes! It’s so troublesome to only fly in one direction with one sleeve empty every day!”
As she spoke, she headed towards the window, but her clothes were too many and it wasn’t easy to get up, especially when she was in a hurry. She even rolled straight towards the window…
The healer had to quickly stop her. “Wait, wait!” He didn’t finish his sentence before she turned and tried to run, no, roll away! This really didn’t make him feel at ease…
Wei Xuan quickly asked a question that was on his mind: “Why did you go to the north of the city to find seeds?”
“We went to find seeds because we wanted to find seeds,” Cheng Ma said as if it was obvious. Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she took out several things from her pocket and threw them on the ground. “Here, these are for you.”
Before he could speak again, the healer explained actively: “Don’t you like planting things everywhere?”
Cheng Ma chimed in: “Eating just potatoes is not nutritious enough. We should plant more things so that we don’t end up with potato brains.”
Wei Xuan was speechless. He could only face these two with silence, who in their right mind likes planting things everywhere?!
“Did you guys think about finding other seeds because you saw me planting potatoes?”
He only asked casually, but he didn’t expect the two of them to give a positive answer.
“Yeah! We didn’t bring many this time, but since you helped us, here, they’re all yours!”
Looking at the several bags of seeds of unknown origin in front of him, Wei Xuan’s mouth twitched.
“Why don’t you keep some for yourselves?”
Seeds were relatively precious in this post-apocalyptic world, but why didn’t they keep some to plant for themselves?
Im ded y are the 2 of em so cute
Forget abt their zombies, Take care of each other you two! They’re like auntie-nephew~ ah, my heart is all mushie
Thanks for the update
These two shouldn’t be able to do much with seeds, nope…. Thanks for the update 🤣❤️🤣❤️🤣
Thanks for the update! ❤️
I’m afraid they wouldn’t be able to sprout anything with the state of their potato brain xD
Thank you for the chapter !
Aiya potato healer and potato Cheng ma, eating more potatoes wouldn’t really affect you two much 🤭 but they’re so clumsily cute, it’s really endearing that they’re trying to take care of each other.
They are adorably… strange
Thank you for your translation 💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝 💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝
If healer guy can share his healing powers I wonder if Wei Xuan can share his powers? 🤔
Thanks for the chapter! These 2 are a lot of fun! & I’m glad she can can get her arm regrown
They are adorable.
Zombie raising association supports each other!!!
Damn they are crazy but how can I find them cute??
The fact that Wei Xuan is the only one who felt oppression from the girl zombie among their group confirms the hypothesis that he is sort of a half-zombie. But if Du Hang is more on the zombie side, then Wei Xuan is more on the human side. That also makes me hope that things like exchanging saliva (when kissing) will be fine in the future.
I love them so much, they’re so sweet to Mc 😭❤
