Chapter 871: Friends from the Fire Phoenix Safety Base?

"Xiao Lan, why didn’t you stay home a bit longer?"

Bai Xiqin looked at the Xiao Lan Zombie, who was staring intently at the Mutated Panda, and couldn’t help but ask.

The Song Family parents’ affection for the Xiao Lan Zombie was unparalleled. They hadn’t seen the Xiao Lan Zombie for a long time, and it was their first time seeing him in his Zombie King form.

They definitely wanted to spend more time with the Xiao Lan Zombie.

It had only been a few hours since she and Leng Yebai went out and came back.

At most, just a meal and a bit of chatting.

"My dad and mom are a bit busy today. I’ll go over there tomorrow!"

Xiao Lan Zombie shrugged, a slight smile playing at the corners of his mouth, as if he had thought of something funny, and the occasional hostility he emitted faded considerably.

"Busy hitting people!"

Before Bai Xiqin could ask, Fan Tangtang answered quickly.

His young face was covered in black blood, but his smile appeared innocent and pure.

A white in the mud.

"Hitting people? Who?" Bai Xiqin saw the corners of the Xiao Lan Zombie’s mouth stretch wider and immediately added, "Why hit your brother?"

"Don’t sweat the details. My brother seems very serious, always concerned about saving face. Although I can’t quite grasp this notion of saving face now, I definitely won’t mention the time he got duped out of hundreds of crystal cores by a cross-dressing guy!"

Xiao Lan Zombie spoke quickly, without any emotional fluctuation.

But the smile on his face only grew more radiant.

"Your brother... quite wild!"

It took Bai Xiqin a moment to come up with a remark.

She was very curious about how convincingly the other man cross-dressed to successfully trick hundreds of crystal cores out of people. Was he as good-looking as her younger brother?

"Big brother was really pathetic! He cried after getting beaten up."

Fan Tangtang blinked his eyes, feeling no sense of embarrassment for Song Ning.

"Indeed very pathetic, but he’s a guy with low superpowers; it was easy to deal with him, and he should still be in the safety base."

Xiao Lan Zombie said.

The Song Family parents didn’t beat Song Ning for those several hundred crystal cores, as everyone at the safety base had plenty of them.

The beating was because Song Ning was too dumb.

After the Song Wenwen incident, the Song Family parents highly valued behaving without kindness in the apocalypse.

If Song Ning was actually this easily fooled, he might end up following in Xiao Lan Zombie’s footsteps.

Therefore, a mixed doubles performance ensued by the Song Family parents.

Song Ning’s superpower level was quite high.

But his mom and dad’s were even higher!

Beating him up was like smacking a grandson!

"So, why don’t we go take revenge for Brother Song Ning now?"

Fan Tangtang was naturally friendly with everyone and was willing to seek revenge for Song Ning just because he cooked him a delicious steak.

...Besides, he was kind of hungry, and raw steak wasn’t filling.

"Alright! As my brother has to maintain his pride, we absolutely can’t tell people he got conned out of crystal cores by a cross-dressing guy. Plus, that guy who tricked my brother must be dealt with."

Xiao Lan Zombie snapped his fingers, a wicked smile hung on his stunning face.

Even the best zombies have a bloodthirsty nature.

Slaughtering humans sounded fun.

The Xiao Lan Zombie didn’t live by moral standards, only by his own desires.

He liked Xiao Niu and her relatives, so he treated them genuinely and wouldn’t let any zombie reveal their claws to them.

But those humans who once harmed their family had only one fate: death.

Her brother could only be bullied by her.

Fan Tangtang and Xiao Lan Zombie’s eyes inexplicably brightened, as if they were about to start a killing spree.

"Do you know who that guy is?"

Bai Xiqin handed Fan Tangtang a crystal core, slightly holding her forehead, regretting bringing both of them along.

If they really start "playing," it could be quite a hassle.

"Yeah, I know. It was outside where my useless brother got deceived. I identified the guy through the zombie brainwaves."

Xiao Lan Zombie nodded to himself.

"With the zombies all gathered outside, how did you see him?"

Bai Xiqin raised an eyebrow.

Since Xiao Ming decided to cooperate with humans, there was no way he secretly stationed zombies nearby. Once they retreated elsewhere, there would be no zombies around.

The distance between the safety base and the zombies’ retreat was quite far. Even someone like Zhang Yiming couldn’t cover such a range with brainwaves.

"I saw it a month ago. It was indeed embarrassing, getting fooled like a fool,"

Xiao Lan Zombie clicked his tongue while shaking his head.

"You knew your brother got duped a month ago. Why did he only get beaten today?"

Bai Xiqin couldn’t make sense of the logic.

"Because my brother just realized he got conned these past two days, and today happened to be the day Dad and Mom beat him up,"

Xiao Lan Zombie replied.

"...Why didn’t you tell your brother ahead of time to prevent him from being deceived?"

Bai Xiqin couldn’t comprehend Xiao Lan Zombie’s thinking.

Turns out, becoming a Zombie King came with strange brain patterns.

"He didn’t ask,"

Xiao Lan Zombie answered frankly.

Bai Xiqin: ...

Even though she thought it was tough being Xiao Lan Zombie’s sibling, she secretly felt more for the Xiao Lan Zombie.

He didn’t show much emotion nor did he seem bound by familial ties.

He didn’t often visit here after leaving the safety base; almost every visit was related to Xiao Niu, never once returning for his parents.

Even if he didn’t mention it, he was unaware of the depth of his family ties, instinctively using zombie brainwaves to check in on his family’s situation.

"What’s the name of the cross-dressing person? We’ve been at the safety base for a while, maybe we know him,"

Bai Yifan touched his nose, suddenly recalling his own past experience dressing as a girl.

Ahem, he had more integrity; at least he never swindled a single crystal core or toyed with young hearts.

"Zhou Changcheng, he used to be a captain of a small safety base. When he couldn’t stay there anymore, he came here. The guy seems a bit nuts,"

Xiao Lan Zombie hesitated slightly as he concluded, implying the guy had a screw loose.

Yet as a cross-dresser, he still managed to fool her brother.

Can’t tell who has the big brain problem here.

"Zhou Changcheng?" Bai Yifan scratched his head, "Why does that name sound familiar?"

"He was formerly from Fire Phoenix Safety Base," Xiao Lan Zombie said.

He almost understood the whole story and knew all the details about that guy.

Where zombies wandered, his eyes followed.

The guy who conned her brother was someone he’d willingly or unwillingly dug into a lot.

The Bai Family widened their eyes upon hearing "Fire Phoenix Safety Base," glancing at each other, all seeing a flicker of surprise in each other’s eyes.

"Captain Zhou?"

Everyone shouted out three words at the same time.

The Captain Zhou they knew, who believed in Nuwa and treated female colleagues extraordinarily well, had started cross-dressing to con crystal cores?

Everyone suddenly felt they must have guessed wrong.

It couldn’t be possible; Captain Zhou indeed didn’t seem crazy.
