Seeing Mu Cheng’s actions, Tang Nuo couldn’t help but think of Doraemon. Who knew what else Xiao Cheng might pull out of her magical “treasure box”?
“I passed by a repair shop earlier and saw a few modified Hummers, so I stored them all,” Mu Cheng explained with a smile as she opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat. Since Tang Nuo and the others were following her, she certainly wasn’t going to drive herself and tire herself out.
As soon as she sat down, Xiao Jiu jumped in as well. It comfortably lay on her lap, sticking out its tongue and licking its paws.
The creature was incredibly strong, yet it didn’t seem to weigh much. Lying on her legs, she barely felt any weight at all.
Originally, she wanted to push Xiao Jiu away, but remembering that it had helped her find quite a lot of gold items, she held back.
Forget it—she’d just let it stay on her lap.
Tang Nuo got into the driver’s seat, started the engine, and then asked Mu Cheng, “Xiao Cheng, where to?”
Mu Cheng took out a city map and pointed to the location of a shopping mall.
“Here.”
“Alright,” Tang Nuo replied. Then he glanced at Xiao Jiu. “Will bringing it along cause unnecessary trouble?”
After all, once they went outside, they were bound to encounter many people. A nine-tailed fox would probably attract a lot of attention.
Mu Cheng was also worried that Xiao Jiu might bring trouble, so she said, “How about we disguise it?”
The moment it heard the word disguise, Xiao Jiu let out an unhappy cry.
“Aoo!”
After roaring, its tails stood upright and began swaying. Before long, seven of its tails disappeared, leaving only one behind.
The fox then looked at Mu Cheng with a proud, arrogant expression.
Arrogant.
At that moment, Xiao Jiu was clearly staring at Mu Cheng with an extremely haughty look.
“Just as expected—something that has become a spirit is much smarter than ordinary animals,” Mu Cheng said with a smile as she rubbed Xiao Jiu’s head.
In the apocalypse, if they walked around with a normal fox, people would only think they were foolish—barely able to feed themselves yet still keeping a pet. No one would bother fighting them over it.
Although Xiao Jiu was smart, Mu Cheng still reminded it,
“Remember this. When other people are around, you’re not allowed to attack or kill. You’re just a well-behaved pet now.”
“Awuu!”
Xiao Jiu cried out, sounding a little aggrieved, but it still nodded obediently.
With the matter settled, Tang Nuo didn’t say anything more and started driving.
As soon as the car drove out, a group of zombies immediately swarmed toward them.
Knowing these were man-eating monsters, Tang Nuo didn’t hesitate at all. He slammed the accelerator to the floor and drove straight through them.
While riding in the car, Mu Cheng gradually calmed down. Suddenly, she thought of something.
Tang Nuo had said it was his first time seeing Xiao Jiu, yet he felt extremely familiar with it.
Mu Cheng widened her eyes and looked at Tang Nuo.
C-could he possibly be the extremely powerful Zombie King everyone talked about in her previous life—the one who had a nine-tailed fox by his side?
Hmm! It must be.
When she met Tang Nuo earlier, he had already been on the verge of collapse, almost mutating. At that point, even if he had encountered an awakened healing-type ability user, it wouldn’t have changed anything.
Healing-type ability users could treat people who had been scratched or bitten by zombies. But wounds that had already penetrated the heart and lungs were beyond their ability to heal.
If Tang Nuo hadn’t met her, he would have either turned into a level-three or higher zombie, or become a corpse-mutant. And since he said he felt familiar with the fox and that it had come here to find him…
She could be certain now.
Tang Nuo was the Zombie King who had stayed in Mu County in her previous life.
Heh… did this mean she had run into an enemy?
Probably not.
At that time, Tang Nuo had already forgotten everything. He didn’t even know she was in the Jiangcheng Base. When he attacked the base, it was simply because he wanted fresh food.
Although reason told her that Tang Nuo and the nine-tailed fox weren’t truly her enemies, she still felt extremely displeased.
Well then.
Since you two delivered yourselves to my door…
Don’t blame me later if I become ruthless.
