TL: Moonlit

The Blood Corpse has been hanging there for three days, still lively and energetic despite being a bit hungry.

Yuan Chen is human and doesn’t possess the same vitality as the Blood Corpse. With his injuries, let’s see how long he can hold on.

Wen Qingling scanned the Blood Corpse with his psychic power, helping him regain his senses. The Blood Corpse, who was initially excited to see his cousin hanging up, immediately wilted as he remembered his own actions. He thought that he should have escaped with his cousin; otherwise, Wen Qingling would surely dissect him.

Wen Qingling personally went to the Yue County Base to help the hypnotized followers regain their clarity. Afterward, he went to the Xiang County Base to see if the quarreling couple had separated.

With a sweep of his psychic power, everything returned to normal. Chang Boheng and Wen Chu were mentally and physically exhausted from their constant arguments. Chang Boheng didn’t have time to entertain Wen Qingling; it was more important to pacify his wife. She had been greatly wronged in the past few days, and if he didn’t appease her, he might end up single.

Wen Qingling didn’t disturb them and went to find Luo Fengjue and Mi Yan.

When Wen Qingling arrived, Luo Fengjue and Luo Zhi were nailing wooden boards, trying to divide the existing rooms to create a small room for Mi Yan to live in.

Since news of the detoxification agents and vaccines spread, many survivors came seeking shelter every day, causing a severe housing shortage.

Luo Zhi already considered it a luxury to have a single-person apartment to himself. Now that Luo Fengjue and Mi Yan suddenly arrived, Luo Zhi didn’t want to trouble Chang Boheng any further and had to find a solution on his own.

Chang Boheng knew that Luo Fengjue and Wen Qingling had a deep relationship, so his attitude toward him naturally differed from others. He wanted to allocate a separate house for Luo Fengjue but was refused by Luo Fengjue himself. Housing in the base was tight, and he didn’t want to trouble Chang Boheng further. As long as there was a place to stay, he was fine and not picky.

Luo Zhi was afraid that the two children would be inconvenienced, so he wanted to give up his apartment for them to live in. He could stay anywhere, even in the corridor. Compared to those who couldn’t even enter the city and had to sleep in the wilderness, being able to stay in the corridor was already a great honor.

But Luo Fengjue and Mi Yan weren’t selfish people. They didn’t agree with Luo Zhi’s decision to give up his apartment, so they came up with the idea of renovating the house. Squeezing a little was no problem as long as they had a place to settle down.

Seeing Wen Qingling’s arrival, the three of them were overjoyed.

Luo Zhi was extremely grateful to Wen Qingling and didn’t know how to express his gratitude. He was just an ordinary person who had endured the hardships of the apocalypse, experienced all kinds of suffering, and encountered all sorts of people. Since meeting Wen Qingling, his situation had completely turned around. He was cared for in every aspect and looked after in everything he did. Even someone as busy as Chang Boheng would often come to check on him. All of this was thanks to Wen Qingling’s care.

Words felt inadequate to express his gratitude. A simple “thank you” couldn’t suffice.

Luo Fengjue understood his father’s feelings, and he also had a lot of gratitude. He said, “In the future, if you have any orders, feel free to say so. Both my father and I owe our lives to you. No need to be polite with us.”

Wen Qingling replied, “Indeed, I have something to entrust to both of you.”

Luo Fengjue breathed a sigh of relief. He wasn’t afraid of being busy or tired; he was afraid of having nothing to do. “What is it?”

Wen Qingling said, “The Yue County Base needs to be rebuilt. It’s currently in chaos. You and Mr. Luo can go there first. I’ll send people to assist you. The success of the governance will depend on your abilities. If you do well, the Yue County Base will be yours in the future.”

After returning for these few days, Luo Fengjue also learned a lot. Now the Xiang County Base and Xu County Base were both affiliated with the Civilized City, and it goes without saying that the Yue County Base was also under the jurisdiction of the Civilized City. However, Wen Qingling didn’t have time to build the Yue County Base before he left. But upon his return, the base had already been built by someone else, and the Civilized City wouldn’t turn a blind eye to it.

Luo Fengjue didn’t expect that the Yue County Base would be easily taken back by Wen Qingling and entrusted to him for management. He couldn’t express his feelings at the moment.

Back then, neither he nor Wen Qingling wanted to be the leader of the South City Base, so they had no choice but to pass it on to Lu Tianjin. After experiencing so much, Luo Fengjue understood that to survive in the apocalypse, one either needed incredible personal strength or power and influence. Only then would others not dare to bully and trample upon you, and only then would you have the qualifications to protect the people you care about.

Luo Fengjue didn’t refuse and solemnly agreed.

Mi Yan hugged Wen Qingling’s shoulder and proudly said, “I told you there’s no need to prepare a room for me. I have brothers. My brother is the Lord of the Civilized City. With such a big position, can’t they provide me with a place to stay?”

Wen Qingling immediately dismantled his words without hesitation, “Someone like you is only fit to sleep on the streets in the Civilized City. What else do you need for accommodation?”

Mi Yan was horrified, “Is this how you treat me after just a few days of not seeing each other?”Wen Qingling glanced at him askew, “You’ve got it all wrong. What did I bring you back from the Giant City after so much time and effort?”

Mi Yan hugged himself and looked at him with defensive eyes, “Let me tell you, I sell my skills, not my body.”

Wen Qingling smirked, “You have neither skills nor body. Don’t misuse the word ‘sell’.”

Mi Yan had a dead fish stare, “I’ve been deeply hurt.”

Wen Qingling said coldly, “Your only value lies in having a capable father.”

Mi Yan suddenly perked up, “Are you interested in my dad?”

Luo Zhi and Luo Fengjue, who were watching on the side: “…”

Mi Yan: “But it’s not possible. My mom won’t agree. Let me tell you, instead of saying my dad is capable, it’s better to say my mom is ruthless. They’ve been married for so many years, and my dad has never escaped my mom’s clutches.”

Wen Qingling thought for a moment, “Then I’ll take both.”

Mi Yan screamed, “Are you still human? You won’t even spare my parents?!”

Wen Qingling reached out, grabbed the back of Mi Yan’s collar, and dragged him outside, “Let’s go find your parents.”

Mi Yan instantly stopped struggling, happily wagging his tail, “Okay.”

Wen Qingling continued to entrust the matters of the Civilized City to Ji Rong and the others, and he set off with Mi Yan on their journey to find his biological parents.

Mi Yan’s hands hadn’t fully grown out yet, but it was already halfway there, not far from being fully covered.

Since arriving in the Civilized City, Da Bai had been left in the outer city, serving as a “guardian beast” for the city. It lazily lay on the city wall, watching the lively scene outside. When it got bored, it would pat the Blood Corpse and Yuan Chen to keep them from falling asleep.

When Da Bai saw Wen Qingling preparing to leave, it immediately happily climbed onto the roof of the off-road vehicle, wanting to travel together.

Wen Qingling didn’t want to bring it along since the roof might be the place for Mi Yan’s parents. Where would they sit if Da Bai occupied it?

Mi Yan: “…”

Mi Yan: “My parents are the CEO and the CEO’s wife, so they should have the right to sit inside the car.”

Wen Qingling replied, “No matter how big the CEO and the CEO’s wife are, they’re all zombies now.”

Mi Yan: “…”

Mi Yan acted stubbornly, “I don’t care. My parents have to sit inside the car!”

Wen Qingling stared at Mi Yan’s hands and said, “When we come back, your hands better be fully grown. Don’t expect me to be your chauffeur again.”

To prevent the CEO parents from sitting on the car roof, Mi Yan insisted on bringing Da Bai along no matter what.

Tool Cat—Da Bai happily went on the trip with them.

Wen Qingling drove the car to the city where Mi Yan’s family lived.

Mi Yan was amazed. They hadn’t encountered any danger along the way. The zombies seemed to ignore them completely. Even when they entered the city, the zombies didn’t attack them.

Wen Qingling first took Mi Yan home and found the photos of Mi Yan’s parents. He carefully memorized their appearance and then released his spiritual power to search for similar-looking zombies among the countless piles of zombies.Although he didn’t notice when they entered, with a sweep of his spiritual power, Wen Qingling realized that there weren’t as many zombies in the city as he had imagined. A provincial capital city couldn’t possibly have so few zombies.

Wen Qingling said, “Stay at home and don’t come out. Da Bai will guard you. I’ll go out and take a look.”

“Okay.” Mi Yan watched as Wen Qingling left alone, lost in thought.

Wen Qingling jumped to the top of a tall building and looked around, discovering something unusual.

Zombies were leaving the city in groups. Looking at the direction they were heading, they were all going northeast. Along the way, they encountered scattered zombies, who joined their journey, forming a long line that extended into the distance.

Wen Qingling: “…”

The zombie brothers were collectively moving out. This brainwashing package seemed a bit strong.

Wen Qingling returned to Mi Yan’s villa, where Da Bai was tearing apart zombies with its claws. Mi Yan pitifully cowered behind the door, waiting for Wen Qingling to come back.

As Wen Qingling entered the courtyard, several zombies that had been attracted by the smell of humans immediately turned and ran away, showing a high level of self-awareness.

Mi Yan, peeking through the crack of the door, widened his eyes.

They hadn’t encountered any zombie attacks along the way, but as soon as Wen Qingling left, he was surrounded. This wasn’t just good luck; it was because Wen Qingling’s aura was so strong that even zombies were afraid.

Mi Yan opened the door. “What did you see?”

Wen Qingling replied, “I think your parents may have gone wandering.”

Mi Yan: “…”

Mi Yan widened his eyes and asked, “What should we do?”

Wen Qingling said, “Either chase after them or let them fly freely.”

Mi Yan decisively said, “Chase after them!”

“Fly freely my ass! Sooner or later, they’ll get their heads played with.”

After thoroughly screening the remaining zombies, Wen Qingling drove to pursue the wandering horde of zombies. He searched along the way, feeling restless.

“I’ve made up my mind. Once we find your parents, your whole family will serve me without pay.”

Mi Yan chuckled, “Okay, I can be your foot-washing maid. You’re my adoptive parents after all.”

Wen Qingling scorned, “I don’t have a useless son like you.”

Wen Qingling followed the zombie horde, using his spiritual power to screen them one by one. Suddenly, a zombie roared, causing the previously numb zombies to turn their heads and gather around Wen Qingling’s off-road vehicle.

Da Bai, lying on the roof, let out a horrified “meow,” and all its fur stood on end.

So many zombies, densely packed. It scared the cat!

Mi Yan was also panicking, “What’s happening? Are the zombies rioting?”

Wen Qingling’s eyes gleamed darkly, “It’s a Level 6 evolved ‘Leader’.”

Mi Yan’s fur also stood on end, “Damn it! Run if you encounter a ‘Leader’! We’re in big trouble!”

Wen Qingling stepped on the gas and rushed out, chasing the cunning ‘Leader’ hiding in the distance.

“Don’t run! My civilized city is short of a corpse general, and it’s going to be you!”

Wen Qingling drove the car, flying through the air, chasing after the chosen corpse general.

I really like Wen Qingling and Mi Yan’s interaction HAHAHAHHAHAHA
