Chapter 548: Chapter 548: A Son’s Friend Must Enter Through the Main Gate Too
Leng Yebai just reached out to support Bai Xiqin, but she took a step back, standing closer to Zhang Yiming than she was just moments ago.
These were subconscious actions.
In an unfamiliar place with unfamiliar people, Bai Xiqin preferred standing next to Zhang Yiming.
She genuinely didn’t understand what had happened to the world, and combined with her foggy head, Bai Xiqin was very wary of strangers.
Leng Yebai looked at the distance between Bai Xiqin and Zhang Yiming, feeling even more chill.
"This... what’s going on?" The Base Commander glanced at Zhang Yiming, furrowing his brows.
Is my daughter-in-law planning to get a live-in son-in-law?
That can’t happen!
If things really don’t work out, we might have to ask Leng Yebai’s mom to step in and take some people away...
"Xiao Niu got hurt and lost her memory, and she doesn’t remember me for now, only her classmate Zhang Yiming. It’ll take a week to recover."
As Leng Yebai said this, his gaze lingered briefly on Bai Xiqin’s forehead, his eyes flashing with a cold glint.
Feng Ge, that person, must die.
"Amnesia? Why was she injured?" The Base Commander was bewildered.
She was fine when she went out this morning, how did she end up like this!
If I had known, I should have chased out on my scooter this morning.
Leng Yebai didn’t respond. He wasn’t the type to run to elders for help every time something happened. Having had no one to back him since childhood, he preferred to handle things himself.
He would handle the matter with Feng Ge on his own.
"Hurry up and find my parents!"
Bai Xiqin looked at Zhang Yiming, instinctively avoiding the Base Commander and Leng Yebai, not getting too close to them.
Bai Xiqin relied on Zhang Yiming, while Zhang Yiming looked at her gently.
The two standing together, looked like a couple who had gone through school together.
The Base Commander couldn’t stand it any longer.
It’s tough to find wives for men these days!
He finally saw his son get married off, only to suddenly revert to square one. The Base Commander felt he had to do something.
"Young man, the base’s rules cannot be broken. Even though you’re a friend of my son’s, you must go through the process at the main gate. I am always fair and never bend the rules."
The Base Commander’s face suddenly turned more serious.
No Zombie King will ever be able to walk through the main gate of the safety base openly!
He didn’t believe it. On his own turf, how could his daughter-in-law be snatched away!
"Are you sure?" Zhang Yiming looked at the Base Commander, the corner of his mouth slightly upturned.
He had consumed Ganmu, so he had body temperature and a heartbeat. Except for his black blood and the rampant emotions in his brain, he was just like a human.
And the current detection methods only measured human body temperature.
No matter which gate he walked through, the result would be the same.
"Absolutely!" The Base Commander said righteously. "To maintain the base’s rules, young man, please go through the main gate!"
Righteously helping his son snatch his daughter-in-law.
"Go through the main gate?" Bai Xiqin rubbed her temples, not understanding the Base Commander’s meaning. "Then I’ll go with you!"
Bai Xiqin didn’t want to wait here alone.
"No need, Xiao Niu needs to get back quickly."
Leng Yebai softened up seeing Bai Xiqin’s pained expression.
Whether Zhang Yiming could enter the safety base was no longer that important to him.
Xiao Niu’s amnesia was temporary, there was no need to make it difficult for her.
"Come, I’ll take you to find Uncle and Auntie."
Zhang Yiming led Bai Xiqin in the direction where the bus was parked.
"How come you know our base so well?"
The Base Commander was surprised as Zhang Yiming precisely located the bus.
His pride lay in transforming his estate into the safest safety base.
He didn’t expect this Zombie King to be so familiar with it, had he come in several times without anyone knowing?
Then the safety base isn’t safe at all!
"Smell."
Zhang Yiming glanced at the Base Commander, then at Leng Yebai, a barely noticeable twitch on his face.
These two were somewhat like father and son, looking formidable on the outside, but perhaps not that sharp mentally.
"Oh... so that’s it."
The Base Commander took out a small notebook from somewhere and calmly wrote something in it.
Zhang Yiming took a glance at the notebook; it contained notes on the characteristics of the Zombie King.
He saw the Base Commander quickly write down several large characters at the top while pretending Zhang Yiming wasn’t watching:
The Zombie King must die.
These six characters stood out prominently.
Fearing Zhang Yiming might not see them, he waved the notebook in front of him several times.
Zhang Yiming: ...
Someone as strong yet childlike as Leng Yebai.
Bai Xiqin noticed the Base Commander’s actions and tried to see the words, but the Base Commander quickly put the notebook away, smiling foolishly at her.
"Daughter-in-law, what do you want to eat today? Let Leng Yebai cook."
The daughter-in-law must be won over, especially when she might kick their son to the curb.
However, the Base Commander was not someone who smiled often; a stern demeanor was more usual for him.
When he smiled, his whole demeanor changed drastically, like a sleazy uncle.
"Yes! Whatever you want, I can make!"
The smile on Leng Yebai’s face was just like the Base Commander’s.
Both rarely smiled, but when they did, it was overwhelming.
The two stood together, smiling, resembling a pair of clumsy huskies.
Bai Xiqin blinked, politely shaking her head at the Base Commander, quickly averting her gaze from the pair.
She genuinely didn’t have any memories of these two, but she was sure they must be father and son!
"Sis? What happened to you?"
Bai Yifan’s voice came from up ahead, drawing closer, and by the time Bai Xiqin reacted, he was right there in front of her.
"How did you get hurt!"
Bai Yifan reached out to check the wound on Bai Xiqin’s forehead, but Zhang Yiming tapped his hand away.
"Don’t touch it carelessly," Zhang Yiming said.
"Brother Zhang? You’re here too?"
Bai Yifan rubbed his hand where it was smacked red, noticing the Base Commander next to Zhang Yiming, and swallowed the rest of his words.
Bai Yifan wondered how Zhang Yiming got into the safety base, given that Zhang Yiming was the Zombie King, but with the Base Commander right there, he remained silent.
Fearing the Base Commander and Brother Zhang might get into a fight.
He actually had a lot of questions, like whether Brother Zhang was the future or present Brother Zhang.
The Base Commander glanced at Bai Yifan, who was hesitating to speak and said to Leng Yebai, sighing, "See? If you don’t try harder, you’ll be her ex!"
That kid Bai Yifan must know Zhang Yiming is the Zombie King, and by not mentioning it in front of the Base Commander, he was protecting Zhang Yiming!
The Base Commander thought secretly, planning to chat more with Leng Yebai’s mom tonight, maybe have her scare a few people in their dreams.
"Xiao Fan!"
Bai Xiqin grabbed Bai Yifan’s arm, her eyes instantly moistening.
She remembered teasing her little brother just yesterday, and now, waking up, there were terrifying creatures around?
At this moment, Bai Xiqin had no memories about rebirth and was just a college student who hadn’t experienced a single day of the apocalypse.
The bravest thing she had ever done was to prank her little brother!
