Leng Yebai carried Bai Yifan under his arm, walking towards the living room with a blank expression.

"Bang bang bang!"

The knocking on the car door continued.

The lights in the living room were still on, but the irregular knocking sound was rather eerie.

In the dead of night, what’s outside could either be mutant animals or zombies.

Leng Yebai threw Bai Xiqin onto the sofa, a trace of purple lightning flickering at his fingertips.

He walked to the driver’s seat and opened the car door.

Bai Yifan immediately shrank into a corner of the sofa, piled with cushions on himself.

Even in the sweltering summer, he felt like he was in an icehouse; it turned out he needed a thick quilt to feel secure.

A slight creaking sound ensued.

The car door slowly opened.

Through the crack in the car door, one could see the dark night outside.

The cold moonlight barely seeped in, the air frighteningly still.

Suddenly, Bai Yifan’s eyes caught a glimpse of a blue figure.

Following the blue clothes upward, Bai Yifan saw a decaying face.

That face tilted its head slightly, its rotten eyes staring straight at Bai Yifan, barely managing to form an ugly smile.

"Ah――"

Bai Yifan took a deep breath, finally unable to hold back, shouting loudly.

In the middle of the night, what a nightmare!

He had seen zombies many times, even the Zombie King and Zombie Emperor, but this Xiao Lan Zombie smiling at him in the dead of night was really... beyond his acceptance.

In the silent bus, Bai Yifan’s somewhat feminine tenor permeated every corner of the bus.

Yanked the Bai Family members from their sweet dreams.

"Shut up, that’s Brother Zhang’s zombie girlfriend!"

Leng Yebai expressionlessly covered his ears, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

Little brother-in-law, suitable for worship, can’t lose temper.

Expressionless, helpless, such a frustration.

"Ah――what?"

Bai Yifan still wanted to continue screaming but barely opened one eye at the mention of Brother Zhang, carefully observing the Xiao Lan Zombie outside.

Familiar dress, familiar decaying face.

It was indeed the Xiao Lan Zombie that loitered at Brother Zhang’s courtyard entrance all day.

But didn’t it leave the Zombie Village before? How did it suddenly appear here?

"Bai Yifan, you better have a good reason for wailing like a ghost in the middle of the night."

Bai Anhai held a tissue to his bleeding nose, expressionlessly looking at Bai Yifan sitting on the sofa.

Bai Anhai was sleeping soundly when suddenly, a ghostly wail woke him up, her wife’s foot already kicked onto his face when he opened his eyes.

Unclear if from fright or anger.

In any case, Bai Yifan was doomed.

"I, I wasn’t wailing like a ghost, I was just greeting Brother Zhang’s zombie girlfriend."

Bai Yifan stretched out a finger pointing at the unmoving Xiao Lan Zombie by the car door.

Xiao Lan Zombie’s rotten eyeballs slowly landed on Bai Anhai, who had just come down, and its throat moved with difficulty.

The smell of blood wafted to its nose, a bloodthirsty urge raging in its mind.

It longed to rush over now and devour the flesh and blood in front of it.

But that’s just thinking.

Its decaying brain wouldn’t allow it to do that.

A shred of vague thought restrained its instincts.

Because it knew, if it pounced over now, its Emperor would definitely dig the crystal core out of its brain.

"... Damn!"

Bai Anhai glanced at Bai Yifan’s finger, his late-night mental fortitude not too good, his body shuddered, barely holding back from shouting.

Bai Yifan blinked, fell silent, and tried to minimize his presence.

Bang!

Bai Zhengxuan, who had just come down, saw the Xiao Lan Zombie by the car door, smacked into a cabinet in the middle of the night.

The fairies waking up was a bit troublesome, so they were the last to come down.

Bai Anhai and Bai Zhengxuan shivered, quickly blocking the three fairies.

Seeing zombies at your car door in the dead of night without psychological preparation can be quite startling.

Yet before Bai Anhai and Bai Zhengxuan could fully block the fairies’ view, they already noticed the Xiao Lan Zombie.

"Oh, isn’t this the Xiao Lan Zombie who likes to stand by Xiao Ming’s house?"

Wang Yiyun immediately noticed the Xiao Lan Zombie at the car door and politely smiled.

Xiao Lan Zombie also managed to pull its rotten lips into a not so pleasant smile in response.

"It really is that one, it ran off somewhere before, didn’t expect it to end up here."

Liu Jing was also quite curious.

"I think it’s changed quite a bit these days, seems going out is good for it."

Bai Xiqin observed the Xiao Lan Zombie’s smile, responding with a gentle smile.

The first time seeing Xiao Lan Zombie, it had no expression on its face, just like all ordinary zombies with wooden expressions.

Now, in just a few days, it could already muster a smile.

Such progress, compared to zombies, was quite impressive.

Xiao Lan Zombie kept smiling, even though its smile was terrifying, it insisted.

As if trying to leave a good impression on the Bai Family.

In its heart, anyone its Emperor wanted to protect was someone it had to protect and treat devoutly.

Xiao Lan Zombie slowly raised its rotten fingers, the decaying digits forming a fist slowly spreading open.

In the decayed flesh lay a silver steel needle silently.

It belonged to Bai Xiqin.

In the small box at Bai Xiqin’s waist, there were many steel needles, which were controlled to pierce zombies’ temples to maximize their effect.

Occasionally, Bai Xiqin would forget to retrieve the steel needles, leaving them outside.

Anyway, there were plenty of steel needles in the space, losing one or two needles didn’t bother Bai Xiqin.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Lan Zombie would specifically return it.

Xiao Lan Zombie’s decayed eyes stared at Bai Xiqin and then moved to the steel needle in its palm.

A couple of drops of black blood glistened on the silver needle, belonging to itself.

It wasn’t easy for a zombie to clumsily grasp a steel needle.

Fortunately, it felt nothing, not even when the needle pierced its palm.

Xiao Lan Zombie "pondered" for a moment, holding the needle with both hands, wiped it on its blue dress.

The blue dress had been worn for a long time, stained with black blood and dirty soil.

Fortunately, there was still a place to clean the needle.

It barely managed to clean off some of its black blood from the needle, then carefully placed it on the doorstep of the car.

It knew, that it was dirty.

Its Emperor never allowed decaying zombies from the village to hover around the Bai Family, and absolutely never allowed itself to pounce when the Bai Family appeared, only remaining motionless.

Bai Xiqin took a step forward, picked the needle up from the step, then placed a Second Rank Crystal Core into Xiao Lan Zombie’s hand.

"Thank you for finding this for me." Bai Xiqin gave a gentle smile.

Xiao Lan Zombie seemed to have evolved into a Second Rank zombie, giving it a Second Rank Crystal Core was just right, giving a core too high ranked would be disastrous for Xiao Lan Zombie.

Xiao Lan Zombie had a fleeting look of bashfulness on its dazed face, cherishingly holding the Second Rank Crystal Core, its smile appearing slightly larger.

It thought that this was something its Emperor valued most; when it saw it, it had to return it.

Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected reward!
