Xu Qian looked back and saw the handsome zombie running out of the cave.
"What is it now?" she said with a sigh.
The handsome zombie opened his mouth but couldn't speak.
Xu Qian's brows furrowed slightly, and she sighed again.
"I have to go. I'll come back another time... to give you a bath."
Of course, she was just saying it.
The handsome zombie's green eyes flickered. He had to follow her; if she left, no one would bathe him.
The handsome zombie shook his head and pointed at the car.
Xu Qian: "...You want to get in the car and follow me?"
The handsome zombie nodded vigorously.
Xu Qian felt like crying, but she wasn't. To take him or not to take him?
Before Xu Qian could respond, the handsome zombie opened the door himself and hopped in.
"..." A zombie who couldn't even dress himself could open a car door?
Xu Qian shook her head. She didn't know where she was going anyway, and it might be fun to bring him along.
Xu Qian got into the driver's seat, fastened her seatbelt, and started the car, driving up the mountain.
The bumpy ride made the handsome zombie nervously grip the passenger seat.
His pair of dreamy green eyes stared at her, full of moisture.
Xu Qian felt half her body go numb under that gaze. What kind of puppy was this!
It was amazing.
"What are you afraid of? Sit tight."
The handsome zombie shook his head, refusing to get down.
Xu Qian sighed, got out of the car, grabbed him, put him in the passenger seat, and fastened his seatbelt.
"Sit tight."
The handsome zombie nodded obediently.
Xu Qian drove the jeep back down the mountain.
She had been too heartbroken yesterday and had driven for nearly three hours. Now, she didn't know where she was.
"System, where am I now?"
"Ding, Host is in N Province."
"Open the map."
Xu Qian zoomed out on the map. The army was stationed in J Province. She had crossed an entire province last night and was now on the border of N Province.
Since she had nothing else to do, she might as well go to City A and rescue that Mei Yuebai.
Seeing how sweet they looked in the system's photos, her pre-amnesia self must have liked this man a lot.
Perhaps he could help her regain her memory.
"System, can I go to City A now?"
"Ding, Yes, the system will plan the optimal route for you."
Soon, a real-time navigation appeared in Xu Qian's mind. She just needed to follow the blue line.
Areas with zombies and people were clearly marked.
Xu Qian raised an eyebrow. This was the first time she felt the system was useful.
She glanced sideways at the handsome zombie. He sat motionless, looking nervous, his hands gripping the seatbelt.
Xu Qian couldn't help but let out a faint smile and asked, "What's your name?"
The handsome zombie let out a low growl.
Xu Qian patted her head. What was she expecting from a zombie that could speak?
Xu Qian's eyes flickered, and a mischievous idea sparked.
"It's not good to keep calling you 'zombie.' How about you take my surname? Call yourself... Xu Lu, what do you think?"
Lu lu lu...
The handsome zombie grunted in his throat, then nodded obediently.
"Xu Lu, Xu Lu, can you speak?"
Xu Lu growled again, his green eyes looking at her blankly.
Xu Qian smiled, her mood improving.
"That won't do. You're a Level 3 zombie with clean consciousness. You have to learn to speak."
Xu Lu was already confused. He could understand some words, but not when strung together.
Xu Qian pondered what to teach him first. It wouldn't make sense to teach him to speak right away.
Infant babies start by saying 'Mama,' 'Papa,' 'Grandma,' 'Grandpa,' then animals, fruits, and numbers.
After planning what to teach first, Xu Qian deliberated for a moment and then began to teach him.
"Come, say it with me, Ma~ma~"
