As Chu Donglin fell into a deep sleep, the girl Shishi reached out and embraced him.
Then, holding Chu Donglin in her arms, the girl jumped onto the back of White Wolf, placing Chu Donglin and the snow side by side.
The two unconscious Third-Stage Zombies lay together on the spacious back of White Wolf, their beautiful silver fur soft and comfortable, as if they were lying on a luxurious bed.
Thus, the two Zombies lay side by side with their eyes closed, quietly sleeping, resembling a couple sharing a bed, with only their chests rising and falling gently with each breath.
The girl glanced at the sleeping Chu Donglin, stood up, and clapped her hands to attract the attention of all the Zombies.
"Alright, now that Daddy is asleep, you all have to listen to me... Any questions?"
A group of Zombies stared blankly at her and shook their heads.
Before Chu Donglin lost consciousness, he had already given orders to these Zombies, instructing them to obey the girl's commands.
In other words, with their master Chu Donglin now unconscious, Shishi became the temporary master of this group of Zombies.
"Very well, since no one has any objections, let's behave and listen. Those who perform well will be rewarded later."
The girl playfully waved at them, not caring whether this group of Zombies understood what a reward was. She continued on her own, "Now, we need to go to Wangcheng. And Wangcheng is a very distant place; I might not even be able to find it. So you all must follow my instructions throughout the journey without any disobedience or questions... Any problems?"
"Nod if you have questions, shake your heads if you don't."
As a result, the group of Zombies shook their heads in confusion, mechanically obeying the girl's commands. They completely failed to understand her playful game.
Afterward, the girl excitedly helped divide the group of Zombies into different teams, separating the animal Zombies from the riding team.
There was a cheetah, a Husky, a giant rabbit, and a giant hamster... As for the White Wolf, it was Chu Donglin's exclusive mount. Generally, only Chu Donglin, Snow, and Shishi were qualified to ride it.
However, these four Animal-Type Zombies had grown large enough to carry all the Zombies in the team.
During the distribution of mounts, Shishi looked at the enormous hamster not far away and felt a bit sad about not being able to ride this adorable creature this time.
In fact, both the giant hamster and the giant rabbit were her favorite mounts. Compared to the imposing White Wolf, Shishi adored these two cute animals even more.
Especially the hamster, which looked adorably silly and was simply irresistible for a girl her age.
But this time, she was destined not to ride the hamster.
Because she needed to take care of her two unconscious relatives nearby; she had to stay on the back of the White Wolf to watch over Chu Donglin and Snow. Otherwise, during the bumpy ride, it was likely that the two unconscious individuals would be thrown off by the White Wolf.
With a sigh of sadness, Shishi clapped her hands to attract all the Zombies' attention. She addressed the four animal Zombies that were filled with passengers, saying, "Get ready to set off! Our destination is my dad's hometown, Wangcheng. Everyone hurry up~ Whoever reaches the destination first will get a reward from my dad!"
However, just as the group of Zombies was about to leave, Tyrant suddenly sprang out from the side.
It blocked the path in front of the White Wolf, pointed at Chu Donglin lying unconscious on its back, then pointed at itself. The originally fierce face of Fury now wore an expression of grievance as it whimpered several times sadly, like an abandoned pet.
Shishi looked at this big fellow blocking their way with curiosity.
"What do you want? Are you blocking our way? Do you want to fight?"
As Shishi's words fell, the group of Zombies behind her began to stir, and the atmosphere in the air turned unfriendly.
Seeing the hostile gazes from the Zombies, Tyrant quickly waved its hands, indicating that things were not as the girl thought.
It pointed at Chu Donglin, who was asleep on the back of White Wolf, then pointed at itself, looking pitiful as it whimpered, "Come... together..."
Even though it was a Fourth Tier Zombie, far more evolved than all the other Zombies present, the Strength-Type Zombie seemed to have channeled all its potential into brute strength, resulting in its intelligence being almost the second lowest among all the Zombies there.
Uh... who has the lowest intelligence? Don't forget that there was also a Strength-Type Zombie in Chu Donglin's team, which looked almost identical to Tyrant but was one tier lower in evolution.
Seeing Tyrant's pitiful expression, the girl suddenly understood.
"Oh! I get it! You want to come with us and don’t want us to leave you behind, right?"
Tyrant nodded repeatedly, confirming that this was indeed what it meant.
Shishi looked it up and down, assessing this fellow's appearance. After a moment of thought, she clapped her hands and made a decision. "Alright, since you want to follow us, then let's go together... um... you can ride on Husky's back. The rabbit and hamster might not be able to carry you; you're too heavy."
The so-called Husky was naturally that Zombie Husky.
This foolish dog had been incredibly dim-witted in life, unable to remember its owner's face throughout its life. However, after becoming a Zombie, it seemed to have gained some improvement in intelligence.
Even though there had been some progress, it was still a fool in every sense, so Shishi gave it the nickname "Husky."
At that moment, when it heard its owner toss this tank-like giant onto its back, Husky was taken aback.
It was already carrying a full load of passengers, and now with such a big one added… Husky looked up at the girl Shishi with a sorrowful expression, whimpering sadly, completely lacking the ferocity and terror expected of a Third-Stage Zombie.
However, Shishi paid no attention to Husky's gloom.
With over twenty Zombies spread across four animals, each one was carrying an average of six Third-Stage Zombies, which was quite a burden.
Although they were Third-Stage Zombies, this weight affected their running speed. After all, these Third-Stage Zombies were not the light and airy kind like humans; several of them had mutated into bizarre shapes and sizes.
Seeing that its owner ignored its pleas, Husky could only comply with a resentful expression as the foolish giant climbed onto its back and settled in.
With the addition of a Fourth-Stage Tyrant, the space on Husky's back became even more cramped.
Fortunately, all the passengers were Zombies and wouldn’t complain.
They all looked to their master, waiting for her command.
Meanwhile, Shishi stood on the back of White Wolf with an excited expression, feeling like a commander issuing orders, giggling to herself.
"Since everyone is ready, let's set off."
She held the directional navigator that Chu Donglin had given her, pointing it towards the southwest direction of Wangcheng, and shouted with joy.
"Everyone, let's go! Target Wangcheng! There will be rewards for the first to arrive!"
With that, a group of Zombies roared in agreement. The roar of the High-Level Zombies spread far and wide as five gigantic Third-Stage Zombies, carrying their passengers on their backs, charged through the city.
Feathers like goose down continued to fall from the sky, but as they approached the rushing Zombie Legion, they were swept away by the strong winds created by their high-speed run, unable to get close to the more than twenty High-Level Zombies.
Along the way, the aura belonging to the High-Level Zombies radiated freely. The powerful deterrent force formed by dozens of Third-Stage Zombies gathering together made all the Zombies in Wocheng tremble in fear, too scared to move.
In this Wocheng, nearly all of the Mutated Zombies cowered in their nests, sensing that overwhelming and vast Fury aura. They dared not move at all, not even making a sound.
Amidst the howling wind and falling snow, there was also the sound of a girl's laughter scattered in the breeze—playful and melodious, like wind chimes, echoing from afar.
The girl's grand adventure had officially begun.
...
"We should be leaving soon."
Ban Guozhi slowly exhaled a thick cloud of smoke and said to the two twins and two girls in the room, "I have been away from Jiang Hai for too long; I shouldn't linger here any longer. Since we have completed what we needed to do, let's set off."
He glanced at his daughter, then at the two indifferent twins, and finally his gaze settled on Liu Xiner.
"Second Daughter of the Liu Family, do you have anything left to do in Wocheng? Let me be clear, once we leave this time, I can't say when we'll be back. If you have anything to take care of, you should finish it quickly so we can set off back to Jiang Hai."
The young girl shook her head and said, "Thank you, Uncle, but I don't have any attachments or matters to attend to, so we can leave right away."
Ban Guozhi nodded and took a puff of his cigarette. "That's good. I'll go gather the troops and prepare for departure."
At that moment, the previously silent girl Keara suddenly exclaimed.
"Hey? Big Brother has left Wocheng!"
Her shout drew everyone's attention.
Feeling the gazes upon her, Keara instinctively shrank her neck and gently pointed towards the southwest. "I sensed that he went in that direction..."
"Wangcheng?"
Ban Guozhi fell silent for a few seconds before nodding. "I didn't expect that fellow to leave in such a hurry. It seems he really cares about his parents... Tsk... Whatever, he's not my son-in-law; it's none of my business. I'm leaving now. You all pack your things, and we'll depart together when the troops are ready." (To be continued...)
