Chapter 82 Yes, his heart melted again.
The lame zombie ultimately didn't enter the manor. Regardless, it was still a zombie, and as the manor's leader, Xiao Moqiong had to be responsible for everyone in the manor.
But as Meng Xiaoyou's friend, he chose to come out to eat. He set up two large pots at the entrance of the manor, giving the lame zombie a separate pot. The zombie was overjoyed and wished it could dive in and eat.
Meanwhile, Meng Xiaoyou and the others sat in a circle, eating hot pot.
“We go to the city to search for supplies every few days. We’re lucky that we haven’t encountered too many zombies in the village. We just need to be careful occasionally… There aren’t many superhumans here, only about twenty. We also have a large group of people to support in the village. Today I heard from outside that Moonlight Base was besieged by a zombie horde. If our village is also besieged, the consequences will be unimaginable.”
Meng Xiaoyou pricked up her ears, "How did it go? Is their base chief dead?"
Xiao Moqiong was a little puzzled: "I heard he was a level four ability user, how could he die so easily? He can't die no matter who dies."
"Ouch~" Mushroom looked dejected and hung her head, then felt a light tap on her head. She turned around suspiciously: "What?"
Pei Sinian has been acting really strange lately. He keeps touching and fiddling with the mushroom-shaped umbrella, and the way he looks at her is weird too...
It's like you're about to eat a mushroom.
Pei Sinian calmly withdrew his hand amidst Meng Xiaoyou's questioning gaze.
"My hair is all messed up..."
Meng Xiaoyou's hair is usually very well-behaved, but unlike others, it seems to have a nervous streak. When she gets excited, the hair sticks up, just like just now, when she heard that Dongfang Lie was not dead, it suddenly popped up.
Mr. Zombie's hand started itching, and he couldn't resist touching it.
Meng Xiaoyou looked on with suspicion: "Really?"
She turned her head and asked her closest friend, Tang Shengnan, whose eyes sparkled: "Zun Du, so cute! I've only ever seen ahoge (cowlicks) in comics and anime. I never thought it would look so good when it sticks up. It's so cute it's melting my heart."
If it weren't for Pei Sinian watching closely, Tang Shengnan would definitely have reached out and touched him a couple of times.
It turns out my heart was pounding because I was so charmed.
Pei Sinian secretly remembered it, and then touched it again. Hmm, his heart melted once more.
The mushroom twisted its head in dissatisfaction and complained, "Human hair gets oily, so don't touch it with oil."
And what if you make her mushroom-shaped umbrella too round?
So, Mr. Zombie used his water powers to wash her hair on the spot, then drained the water and let it dry naturally. The whole process took less than two minutes, indicating that she could wash it anytime if she got oily.
Tang Shengnan said with envy, "I wish I had awakened water-related superpowers."
"Beautiful sister, what kind of superpower do you have?" In front of everyone, Xiao Moqiong seemed to have put down his burden and regained some energy, asking Tang Shengnan with great interest.
Tang Shengnan sighed, "Ah, it's just a speed ability."
Xiao Moqiong: "..."
Seeing his expression, Tang Shengnan asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"Alright, alright, your superpowers are all pretty good, only mine is useless."
Upon hearing that her superpower was useless, Meng Xiaoyou became interested. "Is there anyone with a more useless superpower than mine? Let me see."
Xiao Moqiong awkwardly asked, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
"Let's see what kind of superpower it is."
"Speaking of which, I actually awakened this ability after I returned from Y City..." Xiao Moqiong picked up a pebble.
Meng Xiaoyou's eyes lit up: "Could it be the legendary Midas touch?"
Tang Shengnan: "That's really useless in the apocalypse. If you could turn stones into rice, you would be a national treasure. Every base would have to treat you like royalty."
As soon as he finished speaking, the stone in Xiao Moqiong's hand turned into a beef ball.
Everyone: "!!!"
What a Versailles! If these are all useless superpowers, then what are the useful superpowers?
While the others were unaware, a zombie on the other side was staring blankly at the stone on its chopsticks. Its expression remained vacant for a long time. Undeterred, it lowered its head and ground its teeth. Even with its fangs almost worn down, it couldn't change the fact that the food it was about to eat had turned into a stone!
It glanced at the stone, then at the boiling food in the pot, decisively discarded the stone, and manipulated the zombie's stiff finger bones to tremblingly pick up a slice of meat.
The next second, it turned to stone again, and gasps of surprise came from next door. Only then did the lame zombie realize that something was wrong.
It turned around and saw the familiar slices of meat in someone else's hand.
"Roar--"
The sudden roar of the zombie startled everyone. Meng Xiaoyou's superpower effect hadn't worn off yet; the lame zombie could see, and she could hear its thoughts.
Moreover, even without hearing the zombie's inner thoughts, the zombie's roar was very melodious and desolate, as if someone had taken away its wife.
Everyone looked over and saw the lame zombie holding chopsticks in one hand, its dark eye sockets seemingly looking at... Xiao Moqiong?
Xiao Moqiong was a little embarrassed and quickly used his supernatural ability to return the item, saying awkwardly, "Hey, my supernatural ability is pretty useless. Exchanging things remotely is pretty pointless."
Everyone: "..."
The lame zombie grumbled and sat back down, glancing at Xiao Moqiong with his eyes peeking out from time to time, his guarded demeanor making Xiao Moqiong break out in a cold sweat.
"Brother Corpse, I wouldn't dare eat the food you've got. You eat it now, no one's going to steal it from me..."
The lame zombie then withdrew its death stare.
"Don't just eat, come on~ have some drinks!" Halfway through the meal, Xiao Moqiong started getting drinks to serve everyone. "I didn't get any good wine, just beer from the market. Make do with what you have. Hey zombie brothers over there? Remember to keep an eye out for any other zombies coming over. If you see any, let us know."
"He who eats another's food is bound to do his bidding," the lame zombie thought, showing a low growl to indicate that he understood.
Xiao Moqiong filled their glasses. Meng Xiaoyou, seeing the legendary wine for the first time, smacked her lips unconsciously and asked, "Is it good?"
"It's delicious! Just drink it, it's not very strong, it's really refreshing!" Tang Shengnan hadn't seen alcohol since the apocalypse. Although it was just ordinary liquor, she wasn't picky and downed it in one gulp. She wiped her mouth and exhaled, "Awesome!"
Xiao Moqiong took a sip. "The last time we drank together was the last time."
Tang Shengnan: "...That's quite a long time, considering it was last time."
Both of them were very outgoing and chatted as they drank. Meng Xiaoyou glanced at them longingly, then looked at the wine in the bottle, her eyes growing brighter and brighter as she began to get restless.
However, just as her mushroom-shaped claws were about to touch the wine glass, a slender finger pinched the glass, pulling it further and further away until it reached Pei Sinian's side.
Mushroom stared blankly at the two cups in front of the man, licked her lips, and looked like a cat that had been trying to steal fish, accusing its human of misdeeds.
"You have your own, why are you taking mine?"
The man said slowly and deliberately, "No, not."
What? You think it's okay to just say it's not okay?
Mushroom frowned and reached out to snatch it.
"Xiao Moqiong gave it to me, why are you taking mine when you can drink your own?"
Pei Sinian grabbed her wrist, "You'll get drunk!!!"
