Chapter 172 What bad intentions could a mushroom possibly have?
He had already experienced the sharp tongue of that little brat.
Mu Qingfeng still says the same thing: quick-witted and sharp-tongued.
The timid mushroom is no longer alone as she used to be. In her subconscious, as long as Pei Sinian is there, she is better than a thousand troops.
At this moment, she no longer felt wronged, straightened her back, and put her hands on her hips, speaking with righteous indignation: "Isn't that right? Those fruits and vegetables are green and look very nice, unlike you, your green isn't even pure, it's like duck poop green."
The original owner's family used to raise ducks, and the original owner had seen them; the duck droppings were the same color as Mu Qingfeng's face.
Everyone: "..."
Please don't use an innocent-looking face to say offensive things, thank you!
Sure enough, appearances can be deceiving. He looked like an easy target, but when you broke him open, he was full of black sesame filling.
Actually, everyone misunderstood the cowardly mushroom. What bad intentions could a mushroom possibly have?
She's not good at speaking, and most of the time she just tells the truth.
Some people can't stand being provoked. If they encounter even the slightest trouble, their faces turn from green to white like a color palette.
"Xiaoyou, little sister..."
Finally, Su Lanyue couldn't bear it any longer and couldn't help but call out, "Stop talking..."
Her face was as pale as paper, and she forced a smile.
Meng Xiaoyou was displeased when she heard her call her "little sister".
She asked in surprise, "When this man insulted me, why didn't you shut him up while he was insulting me? I only said a couple of words, and you already know to shut me up!"
Su Lanyue: "..."
She said softly, "Qingfeng didn't do it on purpose."
Meng Xiaoyou: "I didn't mean it. They said Mu Qingfeng's hair was green, so I just complimented him on the spot."
Actually, mushrooms aren't happy about being praised. Cabbage-pults and lettuce are friends of mushrooms, and they shouldn't be compared to bad men.
So Mushroom hung on Pei Sinian and muttered, "Not letting Mushroom... tell the truth, humph."
Pei Sinian stroked her fluffy hair. "It's alright, there's no need to argue with someone who's about to die."
"How could you... curse someone to their face?"
Mu Qingfeng was only in the wrong with Meng Xiaoyou, having misunderstood her before, so it was inconvenient for him to take action. But when it came to Pei Sinian, he was not so polite. He struggled to get up and wanted to argue with Pei Sinian.
Zhou Ziming held him down, his tone complicated: "You're injured, you should rest. We can go back to the base early tomorrow morning."
Zhou Ziming was unaware of the conflict between them, but he could sense the tense atmosphere between them.
Putting aside the fact that Mu Qingfeng was injured, even if he wasn't, with his strength, he still couldn't defeat this seemingly unapproachable man.
Rescuing Mu Qingfeng and his group was a mission from headquarters, and their identities within the base were quite special.
Zhou Ziming didn't want to save the people and end up digging his own grave, so he simply gave them a way out. He asked someone to take good care of the patients, and then walked up to Meng Xiaoyou and the others and asked, "Hello, my name is Zhou Ziming. I don't know your names yet."
"My name is Meng Xiaoyou." Meng Xiaoyou had a pretty good impression of Zhou Ziming. This human was a bit silly, but he wouldn't bully her, so she introduced herself and nudged the man next to her, "His name is Pei Sinian."
"Meng Xiaoyou?" A hint of surprise flashed in Zhou Ziming's eyes. "It's you."
Meng Xiaoyou's fair face was full of confusion. She glanced at Zhou Ziming and blinked, "What's wrong?"
"Ah, I've heard of you at the base. The toxin in your leg can't be cured by ordinary healing-type ability users. You need to go back to the base. The tents are already set up. You can go in and rest for the night. We'll set off tomorrow morning." Zhou Ziming didn't go into details, but many people at the base knew Meng Xiaoyou's name.
Humans have a gossipy nature. Sometimes they are like badger in a melon patch. At the slightest disturbance, they can't help but jump up and take a bite of the melon, regardless of whether it's sweet or not. They feel uncomfortable if they don't get a bite.
The Su family holds a certain position within the base, and almost everyone knows about the incident where their real and fake daughters were switched at birth.
These days, there are still babies switched at birth and raised for over ten or even twenty years – it's simply outrageous.
Moreover, after finally finding his biological child, instead of making up for all the years of neglect he had caused the child, he actually drove the child away.
Then the apocalypse struck, and while one's own flesh and blood were left outside in an uncertain fate, the usurper was well protected.
Anyone who knows the truth will laugh their head off.
Zhou Ziming happened to be the one who knew the truth, and he cleverly shifted the sensitive topic so as not to be too embarrassed.
Mushroom's attention was easily diverted; after he spoke, she excitedly went to play with the tent.
Zhou Ziming belatedly realized, "Oh wait, where are the people you went down to search? Why didn't you bring them out?"
His heart skipped a beat. Could he have been murdered down there?
Mushroom had seen tents before; she had seen people setting up tents at the Moonlight Base, but those were other people's tents. This was the first time she could experience it in person, so she was a little excited and pulled Pei Sinian to curiously observe the tent.
As he ran, he said, "It's safe down there. It doesn't need to come out. We found that the mutated plant was dead when we went down, so we left it down there."
"This...isn't that a bit inappropriate? You can come back to base with us."
"No need, just leave it down there."
In fact, the little zombie still had zombie characteristics, not to mention that Mu Qingfeng and the others had seen the little zombie before.
If they bring the little zombies up and encounter Mu Qingfeng, it will be hard to explain.
So Meng Xiaoyou discussed with the little zombie and decided that it should stay in the tree hole until it became completely like a human. With a group of zombies to play with, it shouldn't be lonely.
Meng Xiaoyou used her mind-reading ability to reconcile with the zombies. The zombie horde's wish was to survive. With the mutated plant eliminated, their sense of crisis disappeared, and the matter was considered a complete success. As a result, her ability level instantly reached level five.
The space has doubled, and in addition, it seems that some ability has been awakened, especially when facing plant remains, there is a strange impulse.
The mutated plant was rather strange, so Meng Xiaoyou didn't dare to try it and planned to wait until she got out to find other plants to try.
The little zombie was originally very sensible, but when it heard that its new mother was leaving, it panicked, thinking that Meng Xiaoyou was going to abandon it, and clung to her and wouldn't let go.
In the little zombie's memory, its biological mother left in this way and never came back, which caused it psychological trauma, fearing that Meng Xiaoyou would abandon it.
What's that saying again? People's hearts are made of flesh and blood. Although Meng Xiaoyou isn't human, her mushroom heart is soft-hearted, and she's having a hard time making a decision.
Finally, Pei Sinian said he had a way to drag the little zombie away. He carried the mushroom on his back and said something to it, and the little zombie miraculously agreed.
Mushroom thought to herself, "Could it be that she secretly beat the child?"
She was still a little worried and hadn't had a chance to ask Pei Sinian.
Seeing Meng Xiaoyou's resolute attitude, Zhou Ziming had no choice but to tell her to rest early before going to deal with other matters.
Meng Xiaoyou pulled Pei Sinian's hand and crawled into the tent, finally giving her a chance to ask him a question.
"What did you say to Little Roar?" There are eavesdroppers; she spoke the little zombie's nickname.
Zhou Ziming and his group had a very special tent structure. It was the kind of tent specifically designed for ice sculptures. It was two-layered, with a heat insulation board and a warm pad underneath, so it wouldn't be cold to lie on it. Moreover, there was a small stove inside, which seemed to be gas-fired. There was a small vent at the top of the tent, but you could see the stars above.
The small stove emitted a faint light, and a sliver of moonlight peeked through, highlighting the man's distinct features. She saw him turn his head slightly to look at her, his thin lips parting slightly: "Want to know?"
