After a while, the group finally arrived at a new base. Once Ning Shu saw that the senior commander had safely entered the base, she turned and left with Xiao Ming.
Although she could now think and speak, to humans, she was still different, and humans have always killed those that were different. Thus, Ning Shu had never considered staying with the senior commander.
After all, that was simply not possible. Ning Shu repeatedly emphasized this to this body. She repeatedly told herself that she was now an existence different from human and that there was no way to coexist with humans.
Ning Shu was afraid that once she left, that naive little original host would try to live with the humans.
“Day.” Xiao Ming called Ning Shu. Ning Shu turned around to look at him and asked, “What is it?”
“Day, in the future, let’s not stay with humans. Humans are annoying,” said Xiao Ming.
Ning Shu nodded. “We won’t.”
“Uhuh, uhuh…” Xiao Ming sounded very happy and Ning Shu relaxed as well.
Ning Shu and Xiao Ming found a place to rest. In reality, they didn’t need to rest, but Ning Shu still felt like a human and couldn’t change this habit. Xiao Ming seemed to have gotten used to this as well.
Ning Shu looked at Xiao Ming who was sitting next to her and said softly, “Xiao Ming, I’ll have to ask you to take care of me in the future. Will you take good care of me?”
Xiao Ming glanced at Ning Shu and nodded, “I’ll take care of you.”
“No matter what, don’t let me live with the humans. If my brain suddenly spazzes out and I end up wanting to approach humans, you have to stop me, got it? If a human ends up killing me and digging out my crystal nucleus, there’ll be no one left to keep you company.” Ning Shu mixed in threats.
Xiao Ming looked at Ning Shu earnestly and said, “I won’t let humans kill you.”
“Good.” Ning Shu closed her eyes and wondered when this task would end.
She was starting to feel a little worried since she couldn’t tell how far she had progressed in the tasks. It felt like the system had completely vanished as well. It’s been a long time since it made any sound.
Xiao Ming pushed Ning Shu. Ning Shu opened her eyes and asked, “What is it?”
“I just wanted to see if you were asleep yet,” said Xiao Ming.
Ning Shu: …
Xiao Ming could now speak very fluently and his thinking ability was no worse than a human’s.
Ning Shu decided to head back and continue causing trouble for Wolf and Phoenix. Xiao Ming didn’t say anything and followed Ning Shu silently as she wandered around blindly. He was always deep in thought about something.
“Day, say, can I establish a base like the humans?” asked Xiao Ming.
Ning Shu: W-what…
As the parent, she probably shouldn’t dampen his zeal, so she patted Xiao Ming’s shoulder firmly and said, “If you want to do it, then go. I support you.”
A spazzy contorted smile appeared on Xiao Ming’s face. Ning Shu silently turned away from this sight.
What was the use of establishing a base? Could it be that he was going to put a bunch of brainless zombies that only had craving for flesh in the base?
Just the image of that thought was too beautiful to look straight at.
“At that time, we can gather all the monsties that are smart like us,” said Xiao Ming.
Ning Shu was stunned. Xiao Ming was sure ambitious to try and establish a base of variant zombies.
“That works ah.” Ning Shu approved.
Xiao Ming was very happy and started drawing and writing on the ground again. Then he asked Ning Shu, “How about we attack a base to make it ours?”
Ning Shu: “Alright.”
Xiao Ming: “Say, how many variant zombies do you think will be in our base in the future?”
Ning Shu: “Probably a lot.”
As Ning Shu took in how earnest Xiao Ming looked, she was thinking that, as expected, all men had the desire to pioneer and grow their own territories.
“Ding, task complete. Leave the task world? Yes/No.” The system that had been silent for a long time finally made a sound. Ning Shu was stunned for a moment before she immediately hit the button to leave the world.
She felt a bit disappointed that she hadn’t been able to see the school doctor uncle again before she left.
It already counted as a miracle that they were able to meet two times. They may never meet again… Uncle, thank you.
Ning Shu was hit with dizziness. As her consciousness was fading, she could faintly hear Xiao Ming calling ‘Day, Day…’
