Because Fu Yan and Wen Chi were both there, the zombies only dared to stand ten meters away from the earthen wall and watch them longingly.

The zombies gathered in greater numbers, eventually forming a dense and spectacular wall of zombies.

Wenren Lei sat on the wall facing the camp, leaning on Fu Yan's shoulder as she drank hot milk.

He glanced back at the dumbfounded zombies and pretended to fall over the wall.

Seeing this, Fu Yan immediately reached out and grabbed his waist, whispering in his ear, "Your brother is here, how dare you cause trouble?"

Not far from the wall, the 10G members were busy cooking around the campfire, while Wenren Yu and Huang Yiyun sat around a dead tree, discussing something in hushed tones.

"I was wrong." Wenren Lei shrank back, stiffly changing the subject, "Brother Yan, can you control other people's behavior now?"

Fu Yan shook his head: "No, using the spider's superpower requires spider silk as a medium, and I can't spin silk."

"You still want to spin silk?" Wenren Lei clicked her tongue. "Then I'll go catch you a few spiders, will that do?"

Fu Yan wiped the milk stains from the corner of his mouth with a tissue: "Other spiders' methods won't work; I have to spit it out myself."

Wenren Lei glanced at him sideways: "Why do you look so regretful? Do you really want to spin silk?"

Fu Yan chuckled softly: "I'm just regretting that I can't use such a powerful ability."

Wenren Lei said seriously, "Why don't you go and fuse with a spider? I won't mind if you become a ghost."

Fu Yan raised his hand and gently pinched his earlobe: "There's no need to go to such lengths. Even if you don't mind, I can't accept it myself."

Wenren Lei finished the hot milk in her cup in one gulp: "Isn't there a chameleon ability? You can just transform into an even more handsome form then."

Fu Yan chuckled helplessly, put the empty cup into his spatial storage, and slowly said, "A chameleon's ability needs to be combined with its own innate talent to work perfectly. The ability I copied can only make the dumpling change color at most."

"What a pity." Wenren Lei slapped Fu Yan's thigh.

Fu Yan grabbed his hand that was taking the opportunity to grope him: "You really want me to turn into an animal?"

Wenren Lei immediately replied, "No, I still love you the way you were before. I'm just worried that you'll feel frustrated if you can't use your superpowers after they've been copied."

Fu Yan lowered his head and gently kissed the back of his hand: "No, there will be even better superpowers to replicate in the future."

Wenren Lei nestled into his arms, wrapped her arms around his waist, and sighed softly, "We'll have to deal with even more Corpse Kings in the future."

Fu Yan hugged him tightly: "If you feel tired, I'll take you away for a while. We can go into seclusion, travel around, and do whatever you want."

Wenren Lei looked at the flickering flames of the campfire on the ground and gently shook her head: "You are all by my side, I'm not going anywhere."

"When the apocalypse first broke out, all I could think about was protecting myself. I never imagined that along the way I would have so many friends and would have unknowingly saved so many people."

Fu Yan asked, "Will you feel uncomfortable with this change?"

"No, I accepted it naturally. It's not as...terrifying as I thought."

"Terrifying?" Fu Yan looked down into Wenren Lei's eyes. "Why is it terrifying?"

Wenren Lei thought for a moment and said, "That must have happened a long time ago, before I even knew you."

"When you didn't know me, was it in elementary school?"

Wenren Lei nodded: "I had quite a few friends back then, and those kids all liked to come and play with me. But what made me uncomfortable was that they liked to gather together and gossip about people who weren't there."

"Kids don't swear much, but the words they say are especially hurtful." Wenren Lei paused, "Kids are the best at hitting people where it hurts."

"At the time, I couldn't understand how people who were eating and playing with me just a moment ago could turn around and show such a different face. I felt terrified, afraid that they would talk about me like that when I wasn't around."

"But it's too tiring to force myself to fit into the children's circle every day. I'm always on edge."

"But later, I still heard their comments about me, the kind I didn't want to hear."

"For example, I'm an orphan with a terrible temper and a head of white hair that makes me look like a monstrous old man. I say that if it weren't for my brother's big business, no one would want to play with me."

"Yeah...it was terrifying for me back then. It made me dislike making friends afterward."

Wenren Lei pursed her lips, looking rather unhappy.

Fu Yan gently kissed his forehead: "You've suffered. Actually, you have a very good temper, and your white hair is very beautiful. Most importantly, Wenren Yu loves you very much; the love he gives you is no less than that of other people's parents."

Wenren Lei said softly, "Anyway, I've figured it all out now. Being talked about won't hurt me; on the contrary, it just proves that I have something they can't envy."

Fu Yan wiped his eye with his thumb: "You're right. But your brother will get revenge for you, won't he?"

Wenren Lei burst into laughter: "Him? He wouldn't stand up for me. I ran home and cried my heart out to him back then."

After I finished crying, he taught me that if I ever heard those things again, I should beat them up, beat them hard, beat them until their heads bleed, beat them until they never dare to say another word. He said our family could afford to pay for it.

Fu Yan curled his lips into a smile: "That's in line with his usual style."

"I learned it right away." Wenren Lei let out a long sigh of relief. "It was so great to beat people up everywhere. They would tuck their tails between their legs when they saw me, and when they got together, they didn't even dare to mention me."

Fu Yan gave a meaningful "Oh": "Our little emperor Wenren was so majestic when he first ascended the throne."

Wenren Lei said with a hint of smugness, "So when you approached me back then, I thought you were here to get revenge on me because I went to the wrong classroom and sat on you, embarrassing you."

Fu Yan asked, "Then why did you still choose to trust me?"

"Hmm... I don't know. Maybe it's because you're like my brother, always scolding me, or maybe it's because you're very sincere." Wenren Lei suddenly sat up straight. "Oh~ I remember now, it's because you always help me when I get into fights with others."

Fu Yan chuckled: "Just because of that?"

"A friend in need is a friend indeed," Wenren Lei said earnestly. "Just imagine, I was about to lose and get beaten to a pulp, when suddenly a well-known top student from the high school appeared, took off his backpack, threw it on the ground, and rushed over to help me!"

"Senior Fu, you were especially handsome back then."

Fu Yan smiled, looking at the beaming Wenren Lei, and reached out to ruffle his hair: "Not as handsome as you."

Unexpectedly, all the effort he put into doing so many sentimental and heartwarming things in the past was ultimately won over by his willingness to go to great lengths for this young man.

You're overcomplicating things with this little white thing.
