This became quite interesting.

Qin Luo clenched his fist and felt the surge of energy in his body, “I’ll try it next time.”

Wang Weihu and Chen Xiaofei nodded in unison, while Bai Shu took out a tablet to begin writing a summary.

A good team never skips a post-battle review, and they always do it after each mission.

The little zombie, Xu Duoduo, wasn’t feeling well. Since she woke up, her discomfort had increased, and there was a strange lack of security. She felt the urge to cling to someone, and her teeth itched, wanting to bite something.

The most important thing!

Qin Luo, freshly showered, smelled incredibly good—much better than anyone else.

Xu Duoduo almost drooled. She felt like she had more saliva than usual today. The four of them were chattering away, reviewing the battle. Though her brain was slow to process the signals, she was trying her best to listen.

But Qin Luo smelled too good. He had her in front of him, wiping her hair, asking her to look up so he could check her eyes, then making her open her mouth to inspect her teeth.

Her mind was muddled by the smell of Qin Luo, and she obediently complied with whatever he asked. She felt a little warm, which was strange.

Ever since becoming a zombie, she always felt cold, and this was the first time she’d felt “warm,” and thirsty too.

While they were talking, Xu Duoduo sneakily leaned into Qin Luo’s arms and then stealthily glanced at his neck, at the moving Adam’s apple.

She wanted to bite.

“Grrr~~”

A growling sound from her stomach interrupted their review.

All four of them turned to look at Xu Duoduo.

Xu Duoduo blinked, lowering her head shyly, guilty for craving Qin Luo’s body.

Chen Xiaofei clapped his thigh and said, “Little class leader is hungry, huh? What about the core crystal? The shiny thing? It should be in your space, go check?”

He gestured dramatically.

Xu Duoduo just stared at him, but instead of responding, she tried to inch closer to Qin Luo.

Chen Xiaofei looked sad, “Oh no, little class leader doesn’t recognize people anymore.”

Bai Shu patted his shoulder, equally conflicted. After all, it was to save them that Xu Duoduo had become like this.

Wang Weihu also spoke up, “She can’t take it out herself. Can she eat something else? Will she take the nutritional liquid?”

Qin Luo took out a nutritional drink from his storage card, but Xu Duoduo didn’t even look at it.

Headache.

Their strange behavior had already caught the attention of others.

Suddenly, a strange post appeared on the forum with the title: “Did the 3A Special Ops team take on a mission to escort a young lady?”

The main post included a few candid photos and some shocking commentary:

• We encountered the legendary 3A team during a mission. They’re all quite handsome, but when we saw them, they were all injured. Even though they were fighting a three-star monster, they struggled a lot, but after the battle, they were still standing! So impressive!
• What’s weird is that they were accompanied by a girl. They’re all doting on her, shattering the 3A team’s flawless image! [photos] [photos]

In addition to the three photos in the main post, two more candid shots were attached.

The first three pictures showed the backs of Qin Luo and his team. They were all tall and handsome, with Wang Weihu being incredibly muscular. There was also a clear shot of the other team’s captain.

The last two shots were taken secretly. From the angle, it was clear Qin Luo was holding a girl in his arms, and the other three—Bai Shu, Chen Xiaofei, and Wang Weihu—were leaning over to look at her. The atmosphere was both ambiguous and oddly harmonious.

This post exploded in the gossip section of the forum.

The exhausted ability users, who had just finished their missions, were all too tired to browse the forums, but those who had free time needed something to lift their spirits. When they saw this juicy gossip, their energy surged, and the post’s popularity soared.

• Oh my, why didn’t anyone tell us that the 3A Special Ops team is this good-looking?!
• Help! So handsome!
• Such a solid build, and those long legs, I’m so jealous!
• This combat gear is so hot! [sigh] [sigh]
• I’m done for, dude, what are you doing?! What’s with the photos?! [angry]
• Aaaah, does 3A need a healing-type ability user? I’m amazing at healing! I could save four people with just a bite! Please let me join the team, please!
• Forget it, 3A isn’t accepting new members. When the apocalypse first started, the headquarters suggested bringing in newcomers, but only their team refused.

However, after seeing the ambiguous photos, people’s tone shifted.

• Who is this girl? She’s so pretty! Can I get her contact info?
• I’m in love! I want a soft girl in my arms too!
• Hmm, what’s the relationship here?
• Hehe, those who understand, understand. How many women climb up through their looks? Nothing strange about it.
• Reported. Don’t be disgusting. Maybe she’s the little sister of Luo Shen?
• What dream are you having? Luo Shen doesn’t have a little sister.
• Wait, such a strong team, and they’re all acting like simps? This girl must have some special background to make them all circle around her?

And so on.

Unfortunately, Bai Shu and the others were too busy to notice the forum gossip. They were occupied with other matters.

Qin Luo had a girl from another battle team help Xu Duoduo change her contact lenses. They had no choice—ordinary people didn’t understand the concept of mutated beings, and seeing Xu Duoduo in her zombie form might scare them, even though she wasn’t scary at all.

The girl from the neighboring team was a support-type ability user with a brisk and confident personality, yet her actions were gentle. Xu Duoduo cooperated much better than expected.

“Wow, little sister, you’re so obedient and cute! Amber-colored contacts really suit you.”

Mu Enya finished changing Xu Duoduo’s lenses and couldn’t resist pinching her soft, smooth face. It felt so amazing, “Wow, it’s soft! I’ve never seen a mutated zombie like this. Sweetie, you should try to live longer. Being in the frontlines with the 3A team is too dangerous. Would you want to join my team instead?”

Hearing this, Qin Luo immediately responded, “Hey, hey, hey, we’re right here! Are you trying to poach our girl openly?”

Chen Xiaofei, looking for food, chimed in, “Exactly! No one’s taking our little class leader!”

Mu Enya clicked her tongue, closed the contact lens box, and said, “I was just saying. But if she’s willing, I’d actually take her. But by the way, why do you call her ‘little class leader’? What’s your relationship with her?”

From their reactions, it was clear they hadn’t seen the gossip on the forum yet.

Unfortunately for them, Mu Enya had been browsing the forum while eating dry rations when she was called over. The moment she arrived, she saw the cute little zombie and immediately melted.

Chen Xiaofei, holding a bottle of nutritional liquid, began explaining, “Little class leader is our class president from middle school for three years. We were in the same class after the reorganization. She was really amazing, always in the top ten of the grade, and she was a great class president. We all respected her. She’s really a great person.”

He added, “Though she’s a bit short, she was only 1.53 meters back then, hahaha.”
