On the road, there were too many humans around for him to dare to speak too openly about certain matters. However, Pei Zhaoqing knew his true identity, so he didn’t need to be too cautious.
“Pei Zhaoqing! You know I’m a zombie! Yet you brought me to your human base; don’t you want me to be captured for research?”
Pei Zhaoqing responded with a teasing grin, “Yes.”
“Then please don’t leave my side. If I get caught by those scheming humans, it would be bad.”
This statement effectively silenced Song Jinshi, who had been about to say more.
He was indeed in a human base now, and if he tried to run, there was a high chance he would be discovered.
Moreover, his disguise tools were about to fail, meaning the only place he could safely remain was beside Pei Zhaoqing.
Regardless of Pei Zhaoqing’s motives, at least it ensured his safety.
“I can stay here, but you need to help me find my kitten; it just ran off outside.”
Pei Zhaoqing raised an eyebrow, maintaining his composure.
“Is that cat very important to you?”
Song Jinshi nodded, “Of course, it’s my beloved pet!”
At this, Pei Zhaoqing’s gaze deepened a bit, and he asked, slightly bizarrely, “You really like that cat that much?”
Song Jinshi shot him an annoyed glare, “Of course!”
After saying this, he dashed upstairs, randomly choosing a room to enter, followed by the sound of a slamming door filled with his small temper.
He didn’t leave the room until bedtime.
Meanwhile, outside the room, the sound of scratching at the door could be heard.
“Meow.”
“Meatball?”
“Meow meow.”
Upon hearing his calls, the scratching intensified, and the meows became more cheerful.
Song Jinshi hurriedly opened the door, joyfully looking at Meatball outside.
He scooped Meatball into his arms, showering it with excited kisses.
When Song Jinshi lifted Meatball, it tucked its paws away.
Dazed by Song Jinshi’s kisses, its meows took on a hint of shyness.
The viewers in the live stream fell silent upon witnessing this scene.
——”If that’s really Pei Zhaoqing, I don’t think I can ever look at him the same way again…”
——”Who would have guessed that the seemingly cold and unapproachable man is actually a delicate little kitten, cuddling with my wife.”
——”As a newcomer, this is my first time watching a horror live stream. I wonder if all the big shots in this area are like this?”
——”The veterans probably don’t know, but maybe, just maybe, he’s the only one like this.”
At that moment, they had no idea that every big shot in their district would soon become like this.
Instead of discussing how to clear quests, they would be plotting to win Song Jinshi’s favor.
Song Jinshi was living very well in the human base.
Pei Zhaoqing hadn’t come back for a long time for reasons unknown, and every day, Song Jinshi and Meatball enjoyed a carefree life together.
Though the setting of this scenario was apocalyptic, the state of technological advancement was surprisingly good.
With household robots managing three daily meals and other tasks handled by various function-specific robots, he only needed to enjoy life.
Until one morning when Song Jinshi woke up and noticed Meatball was missing.
He didn’t think much of it at first because Meatball often ran out to play but would always return at mealtime.
So this time, he assumed it would be the same.
As the day turned darker and Meatball still hadn’t returned, concern crept in.
Though life was comfortable in the base, it was vast, and some residents struggled to get by.
He feared that Meatball might be caught and eaten by those people.
Thus, he exchanged for a disguise tool from his assistant and set out to find Meatball.
He didn’t know where Meatball might be, so he asked everyone he encountered if they had seen a cat.
Unknowingly, he walked into the area where ordinary people lived.
Song Jinshi thought it over and decided to ask around; if no one had seen it, he would leave immediately because the place felt chaotic.
As soon as he arrived, he noticed several eyes watching him intently.
Chapter 47: The Little Zombie (9)
Song Jinshi quickened his pace; after asking around inside, he hadn’t found any news about Meatball and was just about to leave.
His steps were noticeably faster than when he arrived.
However, a group of people followed closely behind him.
“Look at his clothes; he must be well-off. We can threaten him to hand over his food.”
“Let’s follow him; there’s a spot up ahead that isn’t heavily guarded. We can ambush him there.”
Several people stealthily trailed after Song Jinshi.
Finally, they made their move and blocked his path in a secluded area.
“Hand over all your food.”
A man with one eye glaring fiercely at him spoke.
Logically speaking, Song Jinshi shouldn’t have been afraid of them.
He could easily bite them, turning them into zombies, posing no threat to him.
But he was currently disguised as a human, and if he did that, his true identity would inevitably be revealed.
In other words, if he bit them, he would have to escape the base immediately, but Meatball was still missing, and he couldn’t run away alone as a zombie.
“Quick, hand over the food. Don’t make us wait too long; otherwise, it will be more than just food you’ll have to deal with. You look too tender; I doubt you can handle what we’ll do to you.”
Seeing that Song Jinshi did not respond, the man continued to threaten him.
However, he had no food on him; everything he ate came from Pei Zhaoqing’s home, and he couldn’t just give that away, nor did he have anything on him.
