In a frigid apocalypse, she fed her boyfriend until he became a zombie king.

Wenren Lei asked, "Brother Yan, is your ability to block out supernatural powers completely useless?"

"At night, when everyone in the manor is asleep, the mental control released by the superhuman will be at its lowest. I can activate the shield for you and Liao Xingwei simultaneously, and maintain it for an hour."

Wenren Lei quickly calculated in her mind: "Then, when we get back to the manor, you activate his ability to block it, and we'll test his resilience. If he has any ulterior motives and wants to cause trouble, we'll let him stay in the manor with amnesia."

"it is good."

"But knowing his personality, he's most likely here to investigate the manor's background. If we figure out his real purpose, we can take him along; that would be much more efficient. Otherwise, I'm afraid Old Sun's son and his family might accidentally break some rules and just disappear. They should still be around, right?"

Fu Yan said, "I went to look for them when I had some free time, and they were all there."

Wenren Lei said, "But we can't force it. We still haven't caught any trace of that psychic."

Fu Yan said, "Understood."

Wenren Lei said, "Then it's settled. We'll move out tonight and find out everything about this place. I want to see how these so-called outstanding graduates are sent into the Superpower Legion. And where are those who failed to graduate or were punished taken?"

He climbed out of the bathtub: "Let's go back to the manor."

Fu Yan picked up a long bath towel and wrapped it around him: "Don't rush, dry your hair first."

Wenren Lei huddled in a bath towel, letting Fu Yan dry him off: "Brother Yan, is this manor really just for sending graduates to the legion?"

Fu Yan continued working and said softly, "Before we find out the truth, all speculation is meaningless. Don't scare yourself."

Wenren Lei pursed her lips: "Mm."

"Master," A1-V reported, "your base communication bracelet, which you left with me last night, rang."

Fu Yan said, "Bring it here."

A transparent conveyor belt extended in from outside the door, and a noisy bracelet was presented to Wenren Lei.

"Boss... Boss, Boss... Boss..."

Wenren Lei sighed, "I'm here, stop calling."

"Holy crap! Finally, someone's here! I almost started dating Aiyowei today!" Han Mingjie exclaimed excitedly.

Wenren Lei's vision went black: "Then I wish you a long and happy marriage in advance."

Han Mingjie cleared her throat: "Thank you."

Wenren Lei overestimated Han Mingjie's thick skin: "Get to the point."

Han Mingjie said, "We're heading towards the coordinates of 'Aiyowei.' The squad leader is driving, and he asked me to ask you about the action plan."

Wenren Lei said, "When we arrive, wait with Aiyouwei. This manor has special circumstances, so don't get too close."

"Okay," Han Mingjie said. "Oh, right, there's one more thing. The Red Rose Base sent people on time this month. Since you weren't there, our base leader received them."

Wenren Lei casually said, "You've come to exchange crystal cores for supplies, haven't you?"

"This isn't about exchanging supplies."

"Um?"

Han Mingjie said, "Their base leader came in person. She said that the base has now established itself and can be self-sufficient, so it no longer needs your continued supply of materials. However, they will still send crystal cores over every month."

"Boss, Base Chief Bai Yao asked us to tell you: Thank you for your help back then. If there's anything you need in the future, just let us know, and we'll do our best to help."

Wenren Lei paused slightly, then said, "Oh..."

Han Mingjie exclaimed, "These women are ruthless! They've collected five redstone-grade crystal cores this month alone."

Upon hearing this, Wenren Lei was somewhat dazed.

His memory of the Red Rose Base was still that of a year ago, when they were struggling to make ends meet. He never imagined that in such a short time, they would be able to deal with level four zombies.

Wenren Lei smiled and said the same thing again: "Red Rose Base, what a good name."

……

The manor was shrouded in an eerie silence in the early morning.

Apart from the searchlights on the high walls and watchtowers rotating back and forth, all the other lights were turned off, not even a single streetlight was left on.

Fu Yan carried Wenren Lei, keeping close to the shadows of the buildings, and moved silently along the way.

"Feed," Wenren Lei whispered, "Where are you taking me?"

Fu Yan said, "Don't make a sound, we're on a date."

The two moved quickly through the gray and white buildings. Fu Yan lightly leaped and landed on a rooftop. Wenren Lei glanced down and asked, "Is this how the appointment was arranged?"

The searchlight beam swept back and forth across the manor grounds, casting the shadows of birch trees almost everywhere.

These trees seem to possess a certain magic, drawing people in irresistibly to gaze upon them for an extended period.

Wenren Lei lowered her eyes and pointed to one of the trees: "Fu Yan..."

"Don't look." Fu Yan raised his hand and pressed his head directly into his chest.

Wenren Lei blinked, wondering if he had just hallucinated. He saw the tree trunk with eye-like patterns on it, and it turned slightly.

He recalled that Fu Yan had always intentionally or unintentionally stood between him and the birch tree.

"Why can't I watch it?"

I'm afraid you'll have nightmares at night.

Wenren Lei pressed her ear against Fu Yan's chest, listening to his steady voice coming from her chest.

"Why can't you hear a heartbeat?" Wenren asked tearfully.

"Because I am the Zombie King."

"What a lame joke." Wenren Lei snuggled closer to him. "Even if you're the Corpse King, I'm not afraid."

Fu Yan looked down at him: "Lei Lei, why?"

Wenren Lei nestled comfortably in his arms, her fingertips tracing circles on Fu Yan's chest: "Because you're good to me. You don't need to brag to me. Even if you weren't the Zombie King, but just an ordinary zombie, I wouldn't look down on you."

Fu Yan did not reply immediately.

Wenrenlei closed her eyes and rested in his arms.

Fu Yan moved extremely fast, the wind whistling in his ears, a bit noisy. Wenren Lei loosened her grip on his neck and covered her ears.

"I know," Fu Yan suddenly said.

"Huh?" Wenren Lei didn't hear clearly, lowered her hand and asked, "What did you say?"

Fu Yan lowered his head slightly: "I know you love me."

Wenren Lei was stunned for a moment, her ears burning slightly: "Who...who loves you? We've only known each other for two days, can you not be so casual?"

Fu Yan chuckled softly: "Then should I solemnly swear an oath?"

"Who cares?" Wenren Lei snorted softly, a smirk playing on her lips, and nestled in his arms, saying nothing more.

After circling the manor several times, Fu Yan rushed back to the male students' dormitory building, jumped directly to the fourth-floor window, climbed into Wenren Lei's dormitory, and casually reinforced the paralyzing ability he had given to 0001.

Then, Fu Yan jumped into the shadows below the building and activated his shielding ability on Wenren Lei.

After a moment of confusion, Wenren Lei regained his memory. He looked around blankly and whispered, "Didn't I tell you to find the instructors' dormitory before using the shielding ability?"

The searchlight on the watchtower swept over, and Fu Yan, holding Wenren Lei, quickly hid behind the building's shadow: "I didn't find her."
