Volume 2 Chapter 37 Er Dai’s Mood
Originally, Shao Qing thought that the zombie pretending to be a pregnant woman would not appear again. Unexpectedly that night, while Shao Qing was sleeping, the curtain opened.
In the past few days, the two men went to their respective tents to sleep. In the middle of the night, they would both come to Shao Qing’s tent silently. One left, one right, she was like a burger patty being squeezed.
It was different tonight. As soon as the curtain opened, there was a faint bloody smell mixed with rancidity. Shao Qing originally thought it was Er Dai and Yan Qiyue and was too lazy to open her eyes. But when she smelled the air, Shao Qing knew it couldn’t be those two people!
This smell of rancid blood often appeared on zombies. Shao Qing opened her eyes immediately. Vines were already drilling from out of the ground.
The sneaky zombie also did not want to face Shao Qing directly. It lowered her head and rolled forward, avoiding the vines. Then it reached out to grab Xiao Baozi.
Coincidentally, Yaya was lying on the belly of Xiao Baozi to sleep. As soon as sounds erupted, he opened his eyes dimly and bit down reflexively.
E/N Go yaya
The skin of the zombies was stiff and decaying and the taste must have been very bad. After biting down he started spitting on Xiao Baozi’s stomach.
This was probably the most unpalatable thing it has ever tasted in its life. With Yaya’s bite, it had exposed the zombie’s real target. The reason for its sneak attack tonight turned out to be Xiao Baozi.
Shao Qing said nothing. First, she threw out a lantern flower, which she took when she was in the jungle. Because the color and shape were unique and it was able to emit light at night, she kept it.
As soon as the lantern flower was thrown out, it hung on the top of the tent. The pink light illuminated the whole tent.
The zombie was exposed. It was wearing a pink skirt and the neckline had been worn out revealing the exposed breast that was simply a mass of rotten meat. E/N Ew gross
This zombie allowed Shao Qing to recognize it. Wasn’t this familiar zombie the one from earlier today?
This zombie was very daring. She came for a visit in the middle of the day and now dared to come to attack in the middle of the night.
Shao Qing was not ready to let it go again this time. She pinched her five fingers together and vines emerged immediately forming a cage-like structure attempting to trap the zombie inside.
But this zombie was very clever. As soon as she saw Shao Qing’s shot, she didn’t even have the slightest intention to resist. It turned around and ran. Unfortunately, when she turned around, she encountered Er Dai who was also on his way for a ‘night attack’.
E/N lol
Er Dai was startled, and he reflexively whipped out a claw, which smacked her back into the tent. This just happened to cause her to be caught by the formed cage.
The zombie was kept in a cage and was restless. She tried using her nails and teeth to break the vines, but Shao Qing’s vines were tougher than what she expected. Her nails were almost broken. Even the sharp thorns didn’t fall off.
Shao Qing hung the cage with vines at the mouth of the tent. After all, the rustling sound that the zombie kept making would affect Xiao Baozi’s sleep.
After everything was done, Shao Qing broke the silence and opened the covers to Er Dai:
“What are you going to do outside? Go to sleep.”
Er Dai went into the bed without saying a word. He was particularly happy holding onto the waist of Shao Qing. Originally he had tried to rub against Shao Qing’s chest. Before when he did this to eat Shao Qing tofu* he would just blink and take an innocent posture.
* take advantage of her
However, this time, he was slapped into the bed by Shao Qing. Shao Qing’s slap strength was not small. His face was slumped, his nose was a little bit sour. Obviously, this trick was used in the past. Why did it fail this time?
Before waiting for Er Dai to understand, Yan Qiyue secretly came over. As soon as he came over, he saw the cage hanging at the door and the zombie in the cage. He immediately adjusted his expression and rushed in with anxiety.
Although he knew that with Shao Qing’s strength, she will definitely not be injured, but … Yan Qiyue rushed in. Once he pinpointed the position, he was prepared to plunge into Shao Qing’s arms to express his worry and fear. Of course he can also take this as a pretext to check for injuries and eat some tofu.
When he hadn’t even plunged into Shao Qing’s arms, he was slapped on the ground with a palm.
Yan Qiyue: …
Not preparing to indulge them, Shao Qing pulled open the quilt: “Sleep!”
Even if they had more thoughts, they could only sleep honestly. The next morning after Shao Qing got up, she went out to brush her teeth and wash her face. On the way, she also took a turnip and fed it to Yaya as a reward. After all, it did a good job last night.
After washing, it was time to deal with this zombie. If it didn’t come to attack in the middle of the night and tried to be detrimental to Xiao Baozi, Shao Qing wouldn’t mind it running away. But it actually came to attack Xiao Baozi? That was stepping on Shao Qing’s bottom line.
Shao Qing studied it carefully. It was only a rank 3 zombie, but some mutations have occurred. Therefore, in terms of IQ, it was higher than the average zombie. After researching, Shao Qing cut out it’s crystal.
Yan Qiyue also dissected the corpse of the zombie and prepared to study it. It became smarter for some reason.
Yan Qiyue started cutting it into pieces. Because he started dissecting this zombie while everyone else was eating breakfast the smell of blood and rancidity filled the air. There were even internal organs, especially the intestines, that were squirting out. The smell was sour to the max.
Gu Panpan took the lead and put down her bowl of porridge.
In fact, this wasn’t Yan Qiyue’s fault. All researchers were like this. Once they were curious, no matter where they were they would not care, so it wasn’t wrong that he wanted to dissect it.
After packing up the zombie, Shao Qing’s heart couldn’t help thinking there was a very bad phenomenon. It seemed that zombies had an unusual attraction towards Xiao Baozi.
This attraction was like a foodie seeing food or a money addict seeing gold, it was even more intense.
Not mentioning others, just this zombie that led the sneak attack had higher wisdom than ordinary zombies. When they first met, it found out Shao Qing’s strength was higher than it and it was outnumbered so it fled immediately.
But in the middle of the night, it still couldn’t resist its desire. Sneaking back, its target was Xiao Baozi.
This had proved the attractiveness of Xiao Baozi to zombies.
Shao Qing specifically asked Er Dai since Er Dai was closer to the existence of normal zombies. Er Dai was able to accurately tell Shao Qing that when he first saw Xiao Baozi, he also had an impulse. It told him if he devoured the flesh and blood of Xiao Baozi, it would bring him a lot of power.
And with the increase in the ranking of Xiao Baozi, this temptation will only increase.
However, Er Dai had a mind. The biggest difference between humans and beasts is that human beings can overcome their desires with reason and beasts succumb to desires.
Er Dai can restrain his impulse, but ordinary zombies cannot. This is why some zombies come at Xiao Baozi.
Shao Qing couldn’t help but worry. Xiao Baozi has become a hot commodity in the eyes of zombies and he didn’t have much self-protection ability. If he accidentally got separated, it would be too dangerous.
Xiao Baozi also has special abilities that are similar to superhumans. His abilities were similar to engulfing. There were many things that can be swallowed, the ability of superhumans and the vitality of a person.
His engulfing also worked for the zombies, but the engulfing energy was limited. The last time Xiao Baozi was in the Linchuan Survivor Base, after engulfing Qiao Yu, the energy in his body swelled for a long time before it could be fully absorbed.
Qiao Yu’s rank was not high. If it was changed to a rank 3 superhuman, it is estimated that Xiao Baozi can only swallow a part of the energy. If he wants to swallow it forcibly, he is likely to burst from the energy.
When Xiao Baozi reaches rank 3, he can swallow up the same rank superhumans. But he can’t swallow too much and his swallowing can only happen when he touches the opponent.
This ability is actually very easy to use. Most people won’t put their guard up against a child who is only four or five years old. However, Shao Qing can’t bet against people who are malicious to Xiao Baozi or zombies to show mercy to her people. So protecting Xiao Baozi has become a big problem.
Especially zombies, if a zombie caught Xiao Baozi, she is afraid that their first reaction is to eat him.
She must not let her son be too far away from her. It is best to stay within a few meters, so that Shao Qing will be at ease.
Thinking too much was useless. The best response is to just make sure he is well protected. Shao Qing overthinks too much. In the end, she can only sigh and look at Yaya in Xiao Baozi’s arms.
Although Yaya’s combat effectiveness is poor, if anything happens, it can still be a bit effective. Shao Qing is determined to train Yaya.
When driving on the road this time, Yan Qiyue drove. Shao Qing began to look through the inventory. After looking over, she opened Yaya’s mouth and started to force feed it.
Everything she fed Yaya was good stuff, some were zombie crystals, majority of them in the second rank, which were not useful for her and her team. But for Yaya, it was already very high ranked crystals.
There were also some mutated plants that are conducive to the promotion of mutant animals and crystals from mutant animals. In short, Yaya was painfully happy all morning.
After a half-hour of travelling, Yaya has risen to the peak of rank 3. This peak rank 3 was an overstatement. Because it is a rabbit, its attack power is definitely not as good as those of the more fierce large beasts. Furthermore because it increased its rank by the use of crystals, its ability was much lower than the average peak rank 3 mutant animal. The more important thing is that Yaya was timid…
Well, thinking like that suddenly, it feels that it was useless and can be used for eating.
Yaya couldn’t help shrinking its neck back. It felt that its chrysanthemum* was tight, her body was cold, and its rabbit fur couldn’t help but stand up.
* butt hole
After the upgrade, Yaya was returned to Xiao Baozi’s arms. Yaya was still in a good mood at this moment and was especially grateful. Before it submitted to Shao Qing’s strength and did not dare to run away. Now if someone allowed it to run, it will not run.
Yet, real soon, Yaya will feel that if there was a chance, let’s run!
At the noon break, Shao Qing started to treat Yaya as a dog. The reason is this. Yaya was already a rank 3, but its actual combat ability was still low and its reflex was also slow. Yaya needed to go through training.
Shao Qing caught several small animals such as mutant mice and cats, and then released them for Yaya to chase.
Whether Yaya had food or not tomorrow depends on its efforts. If it couldn’t catch these small animals, it would have to starve.
Yaya had hot tears flowing down as it kept running around. So sad lol Yaya came back with a mutant mouse in its mouth then ran out again and came back with a mutant cat.
Those mutant animals tried to resist. Yaya’s face was all scratched up and looked particularly pitiful. In the end, a distressed Xiao Baozi held Yaya and wouldn’t let go. She wanted to train a more qualified guard to protect Xiao Baozi, but seeing Xiao Baozi like this, Shao Qing couldn’t help but let him go.
Yaya looked at Shao Qing with a resentful face. In the end it hung her only big ear, and crouched pitifully in the arms of Xiao Baozi.
At this point, we must talk about the resilience of various species. As far as humans are concerned, even the average person’s resilience after the apocalypse was much higher than before.
This was probably the adaptation of human beings. Human beings are constantly adapting to the environment and the body evolves accordingly. So after the end of the world, most ordinary human bodies were not bad. At least unless there were special circumstances, such as infections after injury or because of a weak constitution, few people got sick.
For superhumans, their recovery ability was much higher than that of ordinary people. For the same wound, it may take ten days for ordinary people to recover but it would only take three or five days for superhumans. Shao Qing and Er Dai would only need one day or even a few hours.
Not all zombies had terrifying recovery capabilities. The reason for this is because zombies are already dead. Ordinary fatal injuries are no longer fatal to them. Many zombies have lost their limbs, half of their bodies, and might only have their head left to bite people.
Only by breaking and shattering their heads can they really die.
However, most of the zombies will not grow back their limbs if they lose it. At most, they will not be damaged. They were not like humans who would lose their fighting power due to excessive blood loss.
A small number of zombies had very strong recovery abilities. They would devour flesh and blood of the same kind to heal themselves. For example, if a zombie had a hole in its belly, then ate its kind, the hole in the belly would recover.
There is also a situation in which mutant animals differ from humans and zombies. They will bleed when they are injured. They do not contain toxins in the flesh like zombies, and they will slowly recover after injury. Most mutant animals have better recovery than superhumans.
Yaya’s face was all scratched up, but the next day, it went back to being a lively rabbit. The wounds on its face were almost invisible.
When that happened, Shao Qing can’t help but look at the corner of Er Dai’s eyes. There was a long scar on the corner of his eye, which runs from his eyebrows down to the cheek, just below the eyes.
According to common sense, the wound in Er Dai should have recovered to the point where there is no scar left, but the scar was still there. The scar was not ugly. It only made Er Dai’s handsome face look a bit more fierce. Even if it made him ugly, it was nothing because Shao Qing didn’t mind. However, Er Dai was very mindful.
He often secretly observed his face through a mirror. Whenever he saw the scar on the corner of his eye, he couldn’t help showing his disgusted expression. Sad boy
Especially when sitting next to Yan Qiyue for comparison, his beast intuition made him feel a huge threat from Yan Qiyue.
Just like when male animals would reveal his most majestic posture to the female when courting, Er Dai always felt that he wanted to show Shao Qing his best appearance but it was obvious that this scar ruined his perfect image.
How did his scar suddenly become more ugly? In the past, Er Dai never paid attention to appearance and other aspects, but now he can’t stop being bothered by it.
Although he didn’t show it much, Shao Qing could sense it. For example, when he was sleeping, he liked to sleep on the left side. He would also face sideways, so he would press the corner of the right eye on the pillow so that the scar would not be exposed.
Another example was when sitting with Shao Qing, he will deliberately turn his face towards the right side and use his good left side to face Shao Qing.
There were many situations like this. Even if Shao Qing was relatively dull, she would eventually find out. Let alone Shao Qing was a very sensitive person.
She discovered it early on, but she didn’t feel Er Dai was pretentious. She had just rarely seen Er Dai act like this and felt it was a little funny, so she kept observing in the dark.
Er Dai was obviously very confused. All the men around him were very outstanding. If Er Dai stood among a group of ordinary men, then such a small scar was nothing. When he stood among several superior outstanding men, a small defect like his scar will be magnified infinitely.
Er Dai was very sad. Although he was a zombie and was like a child in terms of IQ, he had the instinct of a wild animal. Just from a glance, he could tell if they are malicious to him.
Just from another’s glance, he could tell if they had feelings for Shao Qing.
At least for the time being, none of the men around Shao Qing was worry-free. In this situation where everyone was a rival, Er Dai was more anxious.
So a flaw or a scar defect will be magnified infinitely in his heart. Sometimes when Shao Qing talked to Yan Qiyue or Gu Chuan, Er Dai would involuntarily think what if Shao Qing wanted to abandon him?
His behavior was especially cute in Shao Qing’s eyes. After all, Shao Qing has never seen Er Dai act like this, it was so novel.
However, seeing more of this, Shao Qing felt her heart ache and didn’t want to see Er Dai grieve like this. Shao Qing touched his chin. How can she comfort Er Dai?
