Chapter 759: Chapter 759: The Zombie with an Itchy Throat
Night.
Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai left the bus after the Bai Family fell asleep.
The matter of going to that secret base was not told to the family.
Grandpa and Grandma were already somewhat reluctant to let everyone go to Ancient Kunlun Mountain, Bai Xiqin didn’t want to make them worry too much.
The stars in the sky became much brighter, visible to the naked eye across the night sky.
The base was illuminated everywhere, and Yunhua Safety Base had no shortage of electricity.
The lights did not overshadow the stars, nor did the stars outshine the streetlights.
The electricity mainly came from the fierce Base Commander.
"What is your dad planning to do with Zhang Chen? When I visited her today, she was not angry at your dad, but instead worried about his injuries."
Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai walked shoulder to shoulder on the bright road of the safety base, the surrounding lights casting long shadows of them.
"He can’t move past it."
Leng Yebai reached out and held Bai Xiqin’s fair fingers, his voice rather flat.
He didn’t mind having an extra young stepmother.
But such things couldn’t be forced.
For the Base Commander, forgetting the past was simply impossible, it had become the deepest and only obsession in the Commander’s heart.
Unable to let go.
Bloodily hidden in the heart, occasionally glanced at, this was both the cruelest and the Commander’s greatest solace.
Relying on memories to relieve longing.
"This is too unfriendly to Zhang Chen."
Bai Xiqin felt a bit worn out for Zhang Chen.
The Base Commander couldn’t let go, and Zhang Chen wasn’t someone who could easily let go either.
"These things are inexplicable, there’s no right or wrong, if you can’t let go, you can’t let go, and it’s precisely because of the obsession inside that he is who he is."
Leng Yebai slightly tightened his grip on Bai Xiqin’s fingers.
The Base Commander couldn’t let go of the past.
Zhang Chen also couldn’t let go of the Base Commander.
And Zhang Yiming, when has he ever let go?
Leng Yebai felt fortunate that despite being destined to live a lonely life, devoid of any family warmth, he was becoming increasingly happy.
Because with the Bai Family, he felt the warmth of family and found... a father.
Bai Xiqin felt the scorching gaze of Leng Yebai, and upon looking up, saw those eyes mixed with starlight.
In that instant, it seemed like only the two of them existed in the world.
Black pupils pierced the soul, making one irresistibly want to come closer.
Under the lights, Leng Yebai’s face gradually magnified, a familiar scent wafting at the tip of her nose.
Closer and closer.
Bai Xiqin instinctively closed her eyes, unable to see the other but feeling them inching closer.
The two were together every day, also spending every day with the family, and rarely had the time to secretly date like ordinary lovers.
Unconsciously, both their ears turned somewhat red.
Leng Yebai’s heart was about to stop, devoutly and cautiously approaching the lips so close.
Five centimeters, three centimeters, one centimeter...
"Cough, cough."
The sound of a man coughing loudly reached them.
Bai Xiqin quickly opened her eyes, her face flushed with embarrassment, silently turning away.
Leng Yebai straightened his back, resentfully looking towards the source of the cough.
Two zombies that appeared gentle but were actually scoundrels.
Xiao Li was coughing.
Zhang Yiming had a wicked smile on his face.
"This is a human safety base, you two zombies stand here openly, aren’t you afraid of having your crystal cores extracted?"
Leng Yebai shot a frigid glare at Xiao Li, who was coughing relentlessly.
"Cough, cough, don’t misunderstand, my throat is just itchy, you can pretend you didn’t see us. Go on, the boss and I will wait next to you, after you’re done we can discuss other matters, cough, cough—"
As Xiao Li spoke, he exaggeratedly coughed a couple more times to show that his throat indeed still itched.
The Zombie King lacked even the most basic senses.
Only a fool would believe this guy coughed uncontrollably due to a ticklish throat!
Poorly made lies, poorly performed acting.
"Didn’t I tell you to wait outside and we’d go over later!"
Leng Yebai’s forehead twitched, his fingers creaked, itching to grab these two zombies and toss them to the Human Survivor Alliance!
"Cough, cough, I’m afraid of the dark, the boss specially came to pick me up."
Xiao Li coughed twice, glanced weakly at Zhang Yiming, his voice lacking confidence.
He really didn’t plan on ruining their moment!
The boss’ brainwaves were too terrifying!
The boss even smiled watching them get intimate!
That smile was worse than not smiling!
Just watch and let it be.
Who hasn’t sneakily watched young couples on dates when they were young!
Yet the energy fluctuation from those brainwaves nearly killed him on the spot, although he had already died once...
The task of playing the bad zombie fell on him, naturally he couldn’t betray the boss’ image.
Choosing between disgrace or death, he chose to disgrace the zombie image!
He resolutely discarded his dignity, trampled it underfoot.
Secretly picking it up when no one was around, wash it, and put it back on in front of the subordinate zombies.
"Damn it!"
Leng Yebai couldn’t hold back, looking at Zhang Yiming and giving a friendly greeting to his elder.
Perfectly showcasing Leng Yebai’s beautiful virtues of utmost respect for the elderly.
Even if Zhang Yiming had no elder, it didn’t matter, what mattered was Leng Yebai’s commendable virtues.
"Let’s head out first!"
Bai Xiqin’s facial redness had faded, only her ears remained flushed, pretending to be calm as she tugged on Leng Yebai’s sleeve.
Xiao Li and Zhang Yiming were zombies, Fang Jin had already taken Xiao Li and Fang Yuanyuan toward the Alliance today.
Xiao Li had slipped back covertly at night to carry out tasks.
This was a human safety base, being too blatant wouldn’t be appropriate.
Still fearing Fang Jin’s sudden return.
Being more cautious was always good.
Leng Yebai cast a chilly look at Zhang Yiming and Xiao Li, quietly holding Bai Xiqin’s hand as they walked outside.
At the entrance of the safety base, there were guards on duty, today not Hong Yu, but another staff member.
Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai walked out the gate, Xiao Li and Zhang Yiming faded into the darkness, casually finding a wall to jump over.
Zombies of their level were quite free to come and go from the safety base.
Only Xiao Li’s wall jumping style was somewhat uncouth—crouching in the corner to give a lift to a Zombie Emperor couldn’t be elegant!
Those being lifted retained their usual gentlemanly manner.
The four figures gathered not far from the safety base in a deserted, shabby yard.
Dark red blood occasionally stained the ground, emitting a pungent stench.
Moonlight spilled across the ground, making the blood even more eerie and frightening.
Bai Xiqin’s ears were keen and she could clearly hear chaotic footsteps from a little distance away.
The zombies had been driven to other places by Zhang Yiming and Xiao Li’s brainwaves.
"Xiao Niu and I will head to the secret base near Shanghai, I’ll leave S City to you."
Leng Yebai’s face wasn’t good, the ripples in his heart were completely shattered by Zhang Yiming and Xiao Li’s two big faces, even throwing a stone along the way.
Just a little bit more!
He would’ve...
Zhang Yiming slightly nodded, his face had been smiling the entire time from start to finish.
The smile was distinctive too.
Initially a wicked smile, a smile that almost made Xiao Li self-destruct his crystal core.
Later it became a carefree smile with joy.
Xiao Li mused silently, apparently the cold-hearted guy Leng Yebai has no favor...
If he could ruin Leng Yebai’s moments more often, he’d definitely become the Zombie King most favored by the boss!
"That secret base is near our middle school, if you can destroy it, then do so, be wary of the Alliance people."
Bai Xiqin addressed Zhang Yiming, and after speaking, glanced at Xiao Li.
Not everyone in the Alliance was as easily influenced as Fang Jin, there were also strong individuals who managed to maintain peace in their regions.
If they discovered the Zombie King infiltrating the Alliance, it would undoubtedly create more turmoil.
