Chapter 1 They're Here

"They're here," Xu Qinglang said as he pushed open the door, having just gone out to meet them.

Yingying stood up from the bedside, nodded to the little boy and the dark-skinned girl who walked in, then sat back down, watching over her boss.

Nearly two days had passed,

and the boss still hadn't stirred.

No movement from his body,

and no sense of his soul,

but fortunately,

there was still one last hope,

the pen that was still stuck deep in her boss’s heart.

That pen,

it wouldn't be there just to hang out, would it?

Surely it was there for a reason, a purpose, a function?

Otherwise, it really would be a dumbass.

The little boy leaned against the wall, looking at the human-shaped charcoal lying on the bed, his expression still indifferent.

Actually,

he hadn't really wanted to come.

Recently, the man who wanted him to sleep with him at the bookstore had also come to Yunnan.

And with the bookstore being renovated,

he had simply asked Lao Dao for help, and had managed to stay at Wang Ke's house.

Under the guise of: convenient for studying!

Going to school and leaving school with the little loli every day, eating together,

it was the most wonderful time of carefree bliss,

but then suddenly, a phone call came, telling him to abandon his tender affections and come here.

But looking at the boss on the bed,

he was really too embarrassed to express his dissatisfaction.

He shrugged.

It was a little sad.

If his ancestor hadn't been asleep,

his boss

wouldn't be in such a miserable state, right?

He didn't know many of the specifics; after all, things had happened so suddenly. Lawyer An had simply told them to come over directly, without much explanation.

If the little boy knew that his boss had been struck by heavenly lightning and that was why he was like this,

he definitely would have given a thumbs up and shouted: 66666.

As a zombie,

for the past few hundred years,

being afraid of being struck by lightning

had practically been the norm for him.

His boss was really something,

to be struck by lightning and not be completely obliterated.

The dark-skinned girl, on the other hand, had a dark face.

Her face was already dark to begin with,

but now,

it was even darker.

First of all, she had come, but the Deadpool was still planted back at home. Heaven only knew if that unreliable Lao Dao would take care of the Deadpool according to her instructions.

Secondly,

this bastard was carbonized like this,

who was going to cure her of the corpse poison?

If he didn't wake up in another half a month,

she would die from the poison!

Damn it!

Were they calling her here to be buried with him?

"Call the lawyer; he said to find him directly after you arrive,"

Xu Qinglang said to the little boy, remembering Lawyer An's previous instructions.

The little boy nodded. He didn't understand medicine, and besides, given the boss's current condition, it wouldn't matter if they sent him to the best hospital or brought in the most outstanding doctors. He nodded, took his phone, and went outside.

It was good to have something to do. He didn't want to be idle, or he would have to continue to endure the pain of longing.

The dark-skinned girl turned her head in confusion.

She could tell that Yingying was in a bad mood.

At times like these, she didn't dare to provoke Yingying; if this zombie went berserk, she was capable of anything.

A woman,

after her man turned into a human-shaped charcoal briquette,

what good temper could you expect her to have?

She could only puff out her cheeks and ask Xu Qinglang:

"What about me? What did you call me here for?"

Xu Qinglang frowned.

He was hesitating about whether or not to tell the dark-skinned girl about Lawyer An's earlier plan.

Should he let her prepare a field and pour some manure in advance?

But then he thought, forget it. The boss was already like this anyway. He figured that unless that pen had problems, the boss’s condition probably couldn't get any worse than it already was. So, he would just wait.

He would wait for Lawyer An to come back before making a decision.

"Don't worry; just stay here for now,"

Xu Qinglang said evasively.

"Stay here?"

The dark-skinned girl was stunned for a moment.

Then she looked at Zhou Ze lying on the bed.

Actually,

Zhou Ze's body wasn't just charred black,

you could also see that parts of him were missing.

Her eyes widened immediately,

and then,

she quickly revealed an extremely excited expression,

almost jumping for joy:

"You guys want me to plant him?"

The dark-skinned girl's eyes were full of anticipation,

eager to try!

She had planted a lot of vegetables, she had planted spider lilies, and she had even planted her mother-in-law, but she had never planted a zombie!

Moreover,

she had personally experienced that night in Xuzhou,

so she understood what level of power this zombie possessed.

Just how terrifying he was!

The phrase "Sorry, wrong door" after the Empty Gate still echoed in her ears!

"Wait a little longer," Xu Qinglang could only say evasively.

He instinctively hoped that Lawyer An's side could make some breakthroughs and bring about a change in things.

He and Zhou Ze had started out as friends,

so naturally he didn't want to see Zhou Ze's head turn as green as the Deadpool's.

Moreover, the results of planting the Deadpool hadn't been verified yet, and seeing the dark-skinned girl's mad scientist-like expectant gaze, Xu Qinglang instinctively felt that it was unreliable.

"Okay, I'll wait!"

The dark-skinned girl sat down obediently on the sofa.

Faced with the huge temptation of planting a boss-level zombie,

she didn't even care that her poison wasn't being cured.

When it came to planting vegetables and working with soil, she did indeed have an unusual obsession. Perhaps that was why her mother-in-law had taken her in in the first place.

"Huh!"

The dark-skinned girl saw the glass jar on the coffee table, exclaimed in surprise, immediately picked it up and began to observe it, and then, she unscrewed the lid, dipped a little ash with her finger, and put it in her mouth to suck on.

Xu Qinglang had just turned around when he saw this scene.

He didn't find it disgusting,

he didn't even change his expression,

he just walked over

and asked:

"How does it taste?"

If Lawyer An hadn't gone out and was still here to see this, he would probably be so scared that he wouldn't dare eat Xu Qinglang's cooking anymore!

This person was crazy!

"Excellent fertilizer!"

The dark-skinned girl exclaimed.

"I'm asking about the taste."

"The taste? It tastes like plain water. If you like, you can add some mustard."

Xu Qinglang shook his head and sat down next to her.

"You guys are so thoughtful; is this fertilizer you prepared for me in advance?"

The dark-skinned girl looked at Xu Qinglang and asked.

It seemed

she was very satisfied with this fertilizer,

and

she wasn't some innocent girl; she knew what it was.

"I guess so,"

Xu Qinglang replied.

"Can I save some?" the dark-skinned girl asked expectantly, "Leave a little for the Deadpool to use."

She really always kept the Deadpool in her heart; after all, they were both kindred spirits. She was crazy, and the Deadpool was stupid; the two of them made a perfect match.

Xu Qinglang was too lazy to pay attention to her,

so he simply closed his eyes.

"Speaking of which, this ash looks a little familiar,"

The dark-skinned girl continued to look curiously at the ashes in front of her.

Xu Qinglang smiled.

In this world,

there really were people who could "recognize you even if you turned to ash."

How could it not be familiar?

Xu Qinglang knew clearly that the Bald Monk and the dark-skinned girl should know each other.

"It's from that Bald Monk."

Xu Qinglang was too lazy to introduce the specifics; after all, the Bald Monk had already turned to ash, and the boss had turned into this.

"Wow! No wonder he's a monk; even the ash he turned into is cleaner than ordinary people's. If I had known this, I should have found a way to cremate him sooner and use him as fertilizer."

…………

The little boy took a taxi to the entrance of the hospital, waited for about fifteen minutes, and then saw Lawyer An walking out.

When Lawyer An saw the little boy,

he was so happy that he immediately stepped forward, almost wanting to pick him up and kiss him!

Finally,

I can sleep!

"Where to?"

The little boy asked directly.

He didn't have the slightest intention of reminiscing or getting cozy with his bed partner.

"Go to the mine."

"Okay."

The little boy didn't ask anything else. His behavior had always been very straightforward. He would do whatever he was asked to do. The sooner he finished, the sooner he could go back to Tong City.

He got into a taxi. When the driver heard that they were going to the mine, he immediately shook his head, saying it was too remote.

Lawyer An directly hypnotized the driver, and only then did the driver nod blankly and start driving. Fortunately, being hypnotized didn't affect the driver's driving skills.

Nearly an hour later, the taxi left the provincial highway, turned onto a town below, passed the town, and drove a short distance on a bumpy, muddy road before stopping.

Lawyer An got out of the car, stretching his arms and legs. The road was full of potholes, probably from being crushed by trucks all year round.

The little boy stood quietly behind him, without saying a word.

"Hey, make your nose more sensitive."

The little boy frowned slightly.

"There's something good for you in here."

All along, Lawyer An felt a lot of guilt towards this bed partner. He always felt that it was a loss and a sacrifice for him to sleep with him.

Therefore, Lawyer An had always wanted to compensate him. Teaching him some cultivation methods before didn't count for much; zombies didn't rely on that kind of thing to make a living.

But that green stone, even the boss had shown great interest in it. Lawyer An was sure that it would also be of great benefit to the little boy.

If he could find more this time,

he would give a little to the little boy to use as well.

Of course, that would have to be a lot, a lot more, because not only did the boss need to use it, but he might also have to satisfy the dosage for that one who was waking up, which was terrifying.

But that one had to be woken up,

on this point,

Lawyer An wouldn't let personal feelings interfere with business.

They walked into the mine,

which was quiet. Lawyer An figured it might have been shut down for rectification. After all, although this mine hadn't had a collapse accident, suddenly so many workers had gone crazy, which was perhaps even more terrifying than a collapse.

He walked around the mine, and other than a few people at the gatehouse who were guarding the place and playing cards and drinking, he didn't see anyone else.

Lawyer An reached out and touched the little boy's head, asking:

"Do you feel anything?"

The little boy was really confused and asked directly:

"Feel what?"

"Um..." Lawyer An began to recall the boss's and Yingying's descriptions of that thing,

and added:

"It's like:

Oh, so high, feeling like you've reached the climax of your life?"
