This was indeed the case.

The first time after overdrawing her powers and waking up, the little zombie’s eyes were clearly dazed.

But this time, she was full of energy!

As for Qin Luo carrying her, the three of them were already used to it.

When had he not treated her like a giant doll, carrying her around?

Qin Luo carried the little zombie and stuffed her into the bathroom, squeezing out some toothpaste and handing it to her.

The little zombie grabbed the toothbrush with her little paw, instinctively wanting to brush her teeth, until she saw her reflection in the mirror. She was completely shocked.

The toothbrush fell with a “pop.”

Qin Luo was about to ask what was wrong when he suddenly saw her throw her head back and burst into tears.

The “white fur monster” in the mirror cried loudly too, and the zombie noticed, crying even louder! Why did she wake up and turn into a “white fur monster”?

Her originally black, shoulder-length hair had turned white and long, even her eyelashes were white, and her eyes, without contact lenses, were now silver, resembling a person with albinism.

The little zombie wailed, “Waaa, whimper…” She had turned into a “white fur monster”! How sad.

Manyuo was most afraid of not looking like herself. She subconsciously still thought of herself as human.

How did she wake up and become a “white fur monster”?

Qin Luo was startled, and in a panic, he immediately started fussing, “Hey, hey, hey! Don’t cry! What’s wrong? Do you feel unwell?”

Hearing the commotion, the three men in the living room, who were busy writing their award speech, suddenly looked up.

???

Why is the little squad leader crying?

They exchanged glances and then rushed to the bathroom door, only to meet Qin Luo carrying her out. The little zombie was still clinging to his neck, crying.

The four big men were taken aback, unsure of what to do. They looked at each other blankly. Finally, Qin Luo carried her to the living room.

“What’s going on? What’s wrong? Why is the little squad leader crying? Qin, did you bully her?”

“Is she okay?”

“Hey, don’t cry, don’t cry! Why are you so upset all of a sudden?”

Qin Luo didn’t know either. He was just as confused. How did she suddenly start crying?

He sat down on the carpet with her in his lap. When he saw the little zombie grabbing her own white hair, it suddenly dawned on him. “Damn, we forgot! She must have gotten scared by her own appearance!”

Manyuo had turned into a “white fur monster” after falling asleep the night before. They were all shocked when they saw her, but it was only when they ran into Da Qiao during the mission that they found out her ability was healing, and that her main skill was diagnosis. After using it, they could immediately see the condition of the target.

Indeed, the people who could get into the research center were all big shots…

They were already used to seeing Manyuo with white hair, but they didn’t expect her to get scared and cry after waking up and seeing herself.

It was both funny and pitiful.

Chen Xiaofei and the others couldn’t help but laugh. “We thought something serious had happened.”

“Little squad leader, don’t cry! It’s fine! You look great! Look at other mutated beings, how beautiful are we? Right? Very beautiful!”

“Exactly.”

“You look like you’re full of battle power. This… this… this is like what they show on TV! Big shots can transform! Those who can transform are big shots!”

They were trying hard to comfort the little zombie. Qin Luo was sitting cross-legged, with the little zombie on his lap, holding his neck and sobbing.

At least she had stopped crying as much.

Qin Luo also said, “Exactly! White fur is cute! Look at the little swan, it’s also white!”

Bai Shu looked at them and couldn’t help but facepalm. “Do you guys even know how to comfort her? Just let the little squad leader eat an essence core or the diluted essence liquid. After replenishing her abilities, maybe she’ll feel better.”

They all suddenly realized.

Right!

When the little zombie heard this, she immediately pulled an essence core from her space and stuffed it into her mouth.

She chewed it while still feeling wronged.

Today, her whole body was snow-white, and after crying like this, her eyes and the area around them had a faint pink tint. Her nose was also flushed with pink from crying.

It felt like her whole body was fading.

Even the metal collar on her neck was silver, and her nightgown was a white lace long-sleeve fluffy pajama, with no dark colors anywhere.

She looked like a character from a horror game, even the boss type.

But Bai Shu’s suggestion worked. After she ate the essence core, her hair and eyelashes immediately turned back to black, and the whole zombie looked much more obedient.

The four big men let out a sigh of relief, finally managing to calm her down.

Raising a kid was really hard!

Fortunately, the little zombie was very well-behaved. After seeing herself return to normal, she stopped crying.

She returned to her usual state.

She even felt a bit embarrassed for crying.

Qin Luo rubbed her head and couldn’t help but laugh. “Look at this poor little thing.”

Chen Xiaofei and the others couldn’t help but laugh. Having the little zombie around had definitely made their lives richer and more interesting.

Life, after all, is more fun this way.

The four of them had come over specifically to wait for the little squad leader to wake up and go to collect their award together. Once they finished writing their award speeches, Manyuo had gotten herself ready.

They all sat down for a lively breakfast.

Finally, at 9:30 am, the four of them, plus the little zombie, were ready to head to the city center to collect their award.

Most of the trees in the neighborhood were knocked down, but as they were heading downstairs, they saw the logistics team cleaning up. An older guy wearing sunglasses and a turtle shell was directing the team.

“Come on, come on, everyone, hurry up! Master Mu is about to head out on a mission. Wood-type abilities are very rare. We need him to use his powers to revive these trees. A neighborhood without greenery isn’t a neighborhood!”

Other mutated beings were busy as well, and even a couple of familiar faces were there.

The last time they talked about a fur-itching rabbit mutant, it was sneaking around eating tender leaves. It was caught by a little guy with horns who immediately reported, “Report! Xiao Qi is slacking off! He’s not working and stealing leaves!”

The turtle-shell guy immediately shouted, “Xiao Qi! Do you still want points? You can’t even do your part-time job properly. You want to starve, right?”

Suddenly, a big guy with a red chicken comb passed by, calling out, “Old tortoise! Heh, why are you so fiery this early in the morning!”

The other little brothers got excited when they saw him.

“Good morning, Chicken Brother!”

“Only Chicken Brother can do it! You even get state rations now, going to report today?”

“Wow, the mutated beings in the base are increasing. We’re almost out of work!”

“So envious!”

…

It was really lively early in the morning.

Their new neighborhood was huge, with buildings A, B, C, D, and E housing the combat teams, while building G had more interesting residents: smaller mutated beings.

This building was at the edge of the complex, housing mutated beings with smaller bodies.

They usually stayed in designated areas, avoiding risk. Small animals, by nature, would avoid the sinister energy of the combat teams.

If it weren’t for the part-time mission, they rarely came over.

Qin Luo and the others were seeing it for the first time and couldn’t help but look back repeatedly. Manyuo kept staring, feeling like they had entered some strange theater.

Later, the four men and one zombie kept wondering what kind of job the Chicken Brother had applied for.

Curious.
