Lu Feng was taken aback and turned around, only to see a torso lying quietly on the ground, missing an arm. Next to it was presumably the head of this unfamiliar body, which bore a gentle expression, devoid of the despair or fear that marked the faces of other corpses.
"Woo woo woo, brother, brother, woo woo woo~"
Feeling Dumpling struggling in his arms, Lu Feng frowned and set him down. Dumpling immediately threw himself onto the corpse, crying bitterly, his face contorted, tears and snot streaming down without a thought to wipe them away, his hands shaking the body incessantly.
It seemed this was the brother Dumpling had been searching for.
Watching him like this, Lu Feng felt a deep sense of frustration. Although he had no emotional connection to the deceased person, he truly despised scenes of life and death separation. Moreover, he was utterly hopeless at comforting others.
What troubled him even more was that without his brother, he didn't know if Dumpling still remembered their base's location.
Time quietly passed. Lu Feng stood silently as the sky darkened. Eventually, Dumpling cried himself out, his voice much softer now. Lu Feng gently said, "Ziche, let's go."
Dumpling looked at the corpse with apparent reluctance. After a minute, he sniffled and said, "Wait, wait."
He stood up on his small frame and carefully placed the head back on the torso, softly saying, "Brother don’t worry, Ziche will take good care of himself. You and Mom and Dad can live well in heaven; you don’t need to worry about me. I’m already an adult."
Seeing Dumpling in such a weary state triggered fragmented memories in Lu Feng's mind—images of people joyfully together with a hint of warmth. He wanted to see more but found his memory empty.
Giving up on struggling, he looked at the small figure before him and wanted to pick him up. However, Dumpling refused, saying, "Uncle doesn’t need to worry. Brother said that without him here, I’m an adult now; I have to rely on myself."
After saying this, he stubbornly continued walking. But after just two steps, he suddenly felt himself being lifted into a cool yet warm embrace.
"Little brat should just be a little brat. Look at you; one misstep and you'll fall over and get hurt—then you'll need medicine."
A minute passed, and Lu Feng, not hearing any protests, thought that Dumpling might be feeling uncomfortable. He looked down with some concern and found that Dumpling had already closed his eyes and started to breathe evenly.
"Ha."
He chuckled and shook his head. Indeed, children are just children. He then raised his head to continue watching the road, unaware that the little one in his arms was looking at him with a complex expression, with not a hint of drowsiness in his eyes.
"Uncle, why are you a Zombie…"
Now,
"Ziche, you've eaten three jellies, two cans, five sticks…"
Looking at Ziche's mournful gaze, he swallowed the words he wanted to say.
"Uncle, I want to eat rabbit tonight!"
"Rabbit… where am I supposed to find that? Why don't you eat tiger instead?"
Lu Feng really couldn't understand the thought process of children. No wonder it's said that only women and children are difficult to raise.
"Oh, your son?"
Lu Feng was startled by the voice and turned around to see Liu You'er. He thought to himself that he hadn't even noticed her presence; this was too… had she leveled up again? Besides, she shouldn't have any reason to look for him.
Lu Feng scrutinized her closely. She was wearing blue jeans and a simple shirt, with a high ponytail. Her expression was indifferent, and on her shoulder perched a Red Bird, looking harmless, which it indeed was.
"What brings you here?"
Liu You'er glanced at the little person with jelly still stuck on his mouth, found a clean chair, and said, "Let's take a walk."
In fact, she had caught a whiff of a special Core scent and noticed there were no Zombies nearby, so she came to hunt. Who would have thought that the smell was coming from that child? However, given the situation, if she told him she was here to forage, it would likely lead to a fight, so it was better to play it cool.
Lu Feng wasn't familiar with Liu You'er and had nothing much to say. Although he knew she was probably attracted by the smell of Dumpling, he figured that since she had saved him and had previously turned away when he killed Liu Xinlian, she still had some humanity left in her. She wouldn't harm a child who posed no threat to her. Still, he felt the need to remind Dumpling not to get too close to her.
Unfortunately, just as he thought the word "don't," Dumpling excitedly rushed in front of Liu You'er, hugging her leg with wide Round eyes and innocently saying, "Sister, you're so pretty~"
"Oh my?! Trying to be cute?!"
Xiao Hong was not pleased at all. Very displeased. This little male was using her method of being cute to steal her master’s attention. Hmph, her master wouldn’t fall for that…
Before she could finish her thought, her bird face was slapped repeatedly. Liu You'er bent down, picked up Dumpling gently, and placed him on her lap, asking, "What’s your name?"
"Boom."
Xiao Hong watched this scene in disbelief; her entire bird demeanor was thrown off. Why did this trick not work for her?!
"Chirp!" (You like new things better!!! Hmph!!!)
With that, she flapped her Wings and flew away, tears glistening in her eyes.
Lu Feng glanced at Xiao Hong and said flatly, "Hey, your bird flew away."
"I saw a female Magpie earlier; it wanted to chase after it long ago. Just acting; don’t mind it."
"..."
The atmosphere between the two became strangely harmonious after the commotion, one lost in thought while the other entertained a child, when suddenly.
Lu Feng swiftly dashed out of the building and landed steadily on the ground. At the same time, Liu You'er jumped down from the sixth floor, holding Dumpling in her arms.
"Thud."
A loud crash echoed as a figure appeared in mid-air, sporting a pair of large white wings on their back and holding what looked like a mini rocket launcher. The silver-white weapon was emitting wisps of smoke from its muzzle, while the user admired the collapsed building before them.
"Uh."
Some zombies that hadn’t managed to escape were trapped under the rubble, struggling and crying out, while others had been crushed into a pulp. It was easy to imagine that if they hadn’t sensed the impending danger in time, then those two...
Thinking of this, Liu You'er felt somewhat displeased. However, Lu Feng was clearly angry; the air around him had become palpable, visibly thickening.
"Hey, long time no see! I've missed you so much~"
Liu You'er felt like throwing up upon hearing that familiar tone. Looking closely at the figure in mid-air, she realized it was Wei Yuan. But when did Wei Yuan gain abilities?! Wasn’t he just an ordinary person before?
But abnormality is a sign of danger.
She quickly entered a state of high alert and handed Dumpling over to Lu Feng, coldly saying, "This is between him and me; you should leave first."
A hint of confusion flashed in Lu Feng's eyes, but the trembling figure in his arms made it clear he couldn’t stay. Moreover, this man gave him an ominous feeling. So he left with a simple warning: "Be careful."
"Oh my~ Are you so eager to be alone with me? Then let’s go back to the lab! Sounds good? Let’s play~"
"Sizzle~"
An Electric Light shot towards him at lightning speed. Although he dodged quickly, a few feathers from his Wings were still severed, revealing unsightly charred spots.
He paused for a moment, his expression unchanged as he said, "This meeting gift is indeed a bit special. However, as long as it's from you, I like it~"
After saying this, he curiously licked his lips, but deep in his eyes was filled with murderous intent.
"Oh? Then you should enjoy the gift I gave you~"
Before the words could settle, Wei Yuan saw Liu You'er disappear from his spot. A Wind Sound rushed from behind him, and he helplessly remarked, "It's been so long since we last met, yet you're still so childish~"
His speech was slow, but his actions were anything but. However, when he saw what was in his hand, his expression instantly turned cold.
"A coat?"
At the same time,
With a slicing sound, a White Lightning struck directly at the base of his left wing, severing it. Losing balance, he tilted and fell from midair...
