Chapter 321: 320 may really be a developmental delay issue The man who spoke in jest faced Yu Mengmeng’s fury with no hint of retracting his words. Instead, he burst into an unrestrained laughter at Yu Mengmeng. Someone yelled, “Do you think this is some kind of mommy’s day out, a picnic or a party?” “Even if you all go out like this, whether you can kill the zombies is another matter, let alone finding any to kill.” Now in D City, there are few zombies but many survivors. What can this group of frail, pregnant, and disabled do? Do they think this is a shopping spree at a mall? Hua Mi, who was leading the way, glanced back at the laughing men in the safety zone. She didn’t say a word, simply turning the corner. Crossing a few more streets, she entered today’s blasting site of the garrison. From afar, they saw Zhou Cheng leading a large group of zombies from the head of the street. He happily waved at Shi Caixia, “Xiaxia, this is the engagement gift I’ve brought for you.” Everyone says the number of zombies in D City is low. That’s because most of them are hogged by the garrison. Gong Yi strictly controlled the number of zombies in D City, blowing the ice layer open during the day to let out some zombies. The garrison would kill most of them, leaving just a small portion for the survivors. They would clear up the remaining zombies before nightfall so everyone could rest. The zombies roaring down half the street were Zhou Cheng’s tally for half a day. And he had led them all here as a gift for Xiaxia. Hua Mi steadied her feet, looked at Zhou Cheng’s jubilant face, then turned back to wink at Shi Caixia, “Today we’re piggybacking off your zombies to make our kills, huh.” Those men in the safe zone were still ridiculing them for not being able to find zombies. See, they said we weren’t on the same starting line. They had as many zombies as half a street’s length. Shi Caixia rubbed her face, “Sorry, Commander Zhou is... his intellect might be a bit slow to develop. I’ll have a word with him, he won’t do this again.” Who on earth uses zombies as an engagement gift? Shi Caixia moved to confront them, with two axes, chopping down the zombie that was nearest. She had just started to speak to Zhou Cheng when more zombies staggered over, and Commander Zhou had already launched into action. The zombies on half the street stood densely packed, even more crowded than the Golden Week holiday. Their faces had turned pallid under the ice, perhaps due to the prolonged freezing, their limbs were uncoordinated. Some were even missing arms or legs, with their guts and eyeballs spilling everywhere. Shi Caixia didn’t have time to talk with Zhou Cheng. She quickly started killing too. Hua Mi, who was following behind, called out to Zhou Cheng and Shi Caixia, “Thanks for having us over to kill zombies today.” As she spoke, Hua Mi’s hand opened and a long knife appeared out of nowhere, “swoosh,” grabbed in her grasp. Advancing with her knife, Da Fu and Xiao Fu, each armed with a chopper, joined in scavenging zombie kills. Yu Mengmeng and Qin Zhen, with children in tow, didn’t have the convenience of Hua Mi, so they followed behind, prying Crystal Cores from the zombies’ skulls. Occasionally, they too found the chance to slash at zombies, timing it just right. During initial training, Qin Zhen and Yu Mengmeng’s focus was still on protecting the children they held. The zombies’ bodies lay stacked on the ground. Soon, nearby garbage trucks and sweeping robots were attracted over. In the midst of the zombie pile, Zhou Cheng occasionally leaped over, slinging an arm around Shi Caixia’s shoulder, pointing toward the group of hideously faced zombies opposite, “Others date over dinners and movies; we keep up with the trend and date by killing zombies. Romantic, isn’t it?” “In the afternoon, I even drew so many zombies here for you.” Hua Mi, holding a long sword by her side, was always surrounded by a vacuum zone. In this vacuum zone, not a single zombie or a piece of debris was seen. She laughed, “I just followed Xiaxia and managed to mooch so many zombies to kill. There are more in the afternoon? Aren’t we taking huge advantage of Commander Zhou today?” Qin Zhen followed behind, also blowing rainbow-colored flattery with a polite face, “Commander Zhou is much more generous than Commander Gong. We’ve never been invited to kill the zombies that Commander Gong has.” After speaking, she shielded the baby swaddling in her arms with one hand and carried an axe speckled with bone fragments with the other, continuing to chop off another head. Amidst the zombies’ terrifying roars, Yu Mengmeng shouted loudly, “Ah Mi, that’s where your man is wrong. As part of your sisterhood, your man has never given us a backdoor.” Even if they gave them a small opening to take on a minor zombie blasting point, that would be something. Otherwise, it’s not living up to Gong Yi’s lofty status. Shi Caixia suddenly felt immensely proud. Zhou Cheng chopped off the head of a zombie opposite him, appearing very generous, “As Xiaxia’s sisters, if you want to kill zombies in the future, just come to me. My treat.” Gong Yi had set a rigorous training schedule for these garrison elites. Every member of the garrison had to kill a certain quota of zombies every day. To please Shi Caixia, today Zhou Cheng pulled over his share of zombies for Shi Caixia and her sisters to kill. By the time it was break time, the street’s zombies had dwindled due to Hua Mi’s fierceness. Zhou Cheng, with a forced smile, gave Xiaxia a few reminders and then went to steal Cao Feng’s and Tang You’s share of zombies. Every garrison elite saw Zhou Cheng, and they were annoyed to death by him. Cao Feng even held up an axe, killing zombies and chasing after Zhou Cheng at the same time, “Damn you chasing after your girl, letting her kill your zombies, and now that you’re out of zombies to kill, you come to steal mine, scram!” “If you don’t scram, we can’t even be brothers!” Like a rat crossing the street, Zhou Cheng scurried from the street guarded by Cao Feng to the one Liu Shengyuan was on. “No zombies, no Crystal Cores, you’re not my brother!” Liu Shengyuan, with a stern face, chopped towards a mound of snow beside him. The snow fell down in a rush, and right in front of Zhou Cheng, Liu Shengyuan blocked the road. Zhou Cheng felt that his sacrifice for love was immense. If it wasn’t for Xiaxia and her sister group, he would go above and beyond. Zhou Cheng, filled with heartache, searched street by street. While his brothers were unprepared, he quickly stole a few zombies to kill. After killing, he ran off, not even having time to dig out the Crystal Cores. He had stolen from all the garrisons the entire morning. He was already on every garrison’s blacklist... Because of the promise from the morning, in the afternoon, Zhou Cheng generously drew over his afternoon’s share of zombies for Shi Caixia. Hua Mi accepted with embarrassment, “Ah, Commander Zhou, how can I accept this with good conscience? You’ve ended up with no zombies to kill.” In front of Shi Caixia, Zhou Cheng stood up straight, very magnanimous, “It’s okay, who says you’re not Xiaxia’s closest girlfriends? Go ahead, kill them, I’ll let you.” He continued to steal his brothers’ zombies to kill. But this time, all the paths were blocked by the garrison elites. And even worse, Tang You put up a sign at the entrance to his street: [No Entry for Zhou Cheng and Dogs] As a commander, though he had handed over his authority, Zhou Cheng, the former garrison commander of City C, ended up like this. Really, you can’t blame him. To use Shi Caixia’s words, it might really be an issue of being developmentally delayed.
